Chapter 594: El Hill (I)
Tavern.
The bear warrior Habakak hurried through the door and said to the other two leaders of the 'Relic Shield', the winged Thor and the half-purgatory elf Quincy, "The whereabouts of Nodashir's gang have been determined. ”
"However, they have already left their foothold and gathered at the north gate of the city, as if they were waiting for someone, and then they will definitely go out of the city for some kind of activity."
"Good chance!"
Thor and Quincy looked at each other with a smile on their faces.
"No matter what they're going to do, as long as they get out of the city anyway, our Relic Shield will have a chance to do it!" Thor, the winged man, stood up abruptly, his voice low, "Send out a group letter for the members of the Evlasca region to assemble at once!" It's everyone, who didn't assemble on time, and they all kicked! ”
A large team targets Nodashir, but Charles himself is not a god and is unaware of the danger coming from behind.
Meanwhile.
The North Gate of Evrasca.
The leader of the 'Silver Holy Sword', the Divine Fist Envoy Morrison, stood on an elven-style bell tower and watched the fourteen members of Nordasil's team drift away, with a faint glimmer of danger in his eyes.
This scene fell in the eyes of the henchmen beside him, like a newly defeated lion, silently licking and licking his wounds, but still keeping an eye on his prey.
Morrison didn't assemble the group after all, and the group followed Nodashiel.
A week ago, the core group of 30 members of the 'Silver Sacred Sword' was wiped out at the ruins of the ancient Harundas, and Morrison finally returned to Afflasca with his team these days, and killed the two young demon sunflowers. Riding on the hunt standings and regaining some face.
However, Morrison and his team care. Why 'Nordasil' and 'Glory Alliance' are going well in the underground ruins, while the silver holy sword is affected by the spells of the two legends.
This kind of unequal encounter made everyone in the Silver Holy Sword hold back a breath of anger in their hearts.
Ruins of ancient Harundas.
Returning to the underground, the fourteen people lost their timidity the first time, and there were talks and laughs along the way.
Charles led the team, holding a map of the Parchment Scroll in his hand, stopping from time to time. Look around to observe the terrain and environment, and compare it with the markings on the map.
After all, it was a map compiled by the ancient Evlasca elven adventure team, and a long time has passed. The underground landscape has changed greatly, but fortunately, Charles just replaced the necklace accessory [Night Lady's Eye of Insight] not long ago, and obtained the permanent passive effect of 60 dark vision, which can get a clear vision in the dark.
"This is the 'Eld's Hill'......"
Takekawa stands on the ruins of a building. He is the team's primary intelligence gatherer. I haven't been idle these days, and I've heard a lot of hidden ancient information in the elven city.
"There was once an archmage who built his mage tower here, and later, this mage tower collapsed in the war against the demon sunflower, and it is recorded that in that great battle, an ancient altar appeared above the mage tower to help humans and elves fight against the demon sunflower......"
Speaking of which. Takekawa's words stopped abruptly, and said with a wry smile: "I guess." That ancient altar is the goal of our mission, but this is only a fragment of a legend, and there is no deeper clue. ”
"Then everyone will be separated, in teams of two, scouting around, and if you find it, call in the team's 'Soul of Communication' channel." Charles waved his hand.
The halfling female priest 'Meow Meow' stood beside Charles with a smile: "Master, I'll join you." ”
"Whatever."
Charles gave the order, and he himself walked into the ruins of the building first.
Meowth held the shield and held the mace and followed him closely.
Compared with other places, the ruins of the mage tower here still have an abundant magical aura, and some of the collapsed walls still have magical runes circulating with a faint luster.
Walking among the ruins, Charles felt that his connection with the magic net had become very weak, as if he had been disturbed by some mysterious force field, the connection was intermittent, and sometimes he couldn't even sense the existence of the magic net, and the magic icons that had been recorded on the spell slots from the first ring to the fifth ring all turned into a gray color that could not be cast.
"What's going on?!"
This phenomenon alerted the Charles, the spell position is a very crucial part of his strength composition, if he loses the ability to cast spells, and encounters enemies purely by hand-to-hand combat, then his model priest template will become unworthy of the name.
"The Ancient Archmage's Mage Tower...... No, frenzied magical energy shouldn't interfere with the web, what spellcaster can resist the web and not need to rely on it to cast spells? ”
Following a thought that suddenly popped into his head, Charles's eyes widened suddenly, his breath suffocated, and he thought:
"Could the rumors be wrong...... This is not some archmage's mage tower, but a certain arcanist's mage tower. After all, the 'Eld' Hill is not far from the ancient Harendas Capital, just on the outskirts of the city, and the terrain here is high, if you build a mage tower on the mountain, you can overlook the entire ancient Harendas Capital, and protect the last roots of Netheriel. ”
Arcanist's Ruins!
Although Charles is not a mage or warlock, and does not have much desire for the inheritance of the Arcanist, he is very interested in the knowledge inheritance of the Arcanist.
A group of powerful spellcasters who have escaped the web and even fought against the goddess of magic, Mystra. If they can get some powerful magic skill books that can be cast without relying on the magic net in their inheritance, Charles will make a lot of money.
"However, this mage tower has been destroyed for too long, and the ancient map of Evrasca also has marks on the 'El Hill', which means that ancient humans and ancient elves have visited this place countless times, and something good has long been pried away, I'm afraid it's not my turn to explore and discover......"
As Charles walked through the ruins, he couldn't help but stop and sigh, his eyes glistening with regret.
"Master, what's wrong?" Meowth was quiet and well-behaved, and this was the first time she had spoken since she came over.
"Found something interesting." Recovering from his regret, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, Charles found a bottle of potion in his backpack and dumped it on the ground, the glowing golden fluorescent potion was rendered, and the magic and magic items that existed in the sixty feet around him were outlined in the darkness.
"Use the 'Scout Magic Potion.'"
The fact that the connection with the magic web has been severed does not mean that the charr has no other means to scout the ruins.
The magic aura in the darkness was faint, and Charles shook his head, and continued to wander through the ruins with the halfling priestess.
The team of fourteen people was divided into seven scouting groups, and as they reconnoitred, Charles could spot the fog covering the 'El Hill' on the minimap, which quickly receded.
Half an hour later, it was already the tenth detection potion, and Charles was about to look away as he stared at the water trailing in the dirt, but his pupils shrank slightly due to a glimpse of a change in the corner of his eye. (To be continued.) )
