The night is dark.

The night in Maple Grove is very quiet, and since the order of this fork in the road has collapsed, the passing merchant groups have dismissed the idea of entering the town, preferring to camp among the forest roads rather than stop in Maple Grove Town.

The center of the town's rule is an old stone castle, the crevices of the rocks are covered with grass, and the chirping of insects can be heard through the cracks, which makes the two mercenaries guarding the drawbridge quite irritated.

"......"

The big mercenary, who was carrying a giant sword and a blood bandage around his wrist, let out a low curse in his mouth: "Those damn bastards, they actually let us guard the gate!" ”

"We're watchdogs now!"

Another slender ranger sat on the stake of the drawbridge, and when he heard this, he glanced back and saw that there was no one on the battlements of the castle, so he replied leisurely: "Blue, accept your fate, we lost, but the 'Dark Wing' did not slaughter, you should be glad instead of complaining here." ”

"I miss the wine and the brothels in town." The big mercenary muttered, "With the current power of the dark wing, even if the castle gate is open at night, no one will dare to trespass." ”

"It's better to ......"

As soon as the mercenary warrior spoke, the ranger gave him a cold look, jumped off the ground with an expressionless face, and walked towards the forest darkness, "I'll go and relieve you, you keep watching, don't make a mistake, or we'll both be unlucky!" ”

Warrior Blue shrugged his shoulders and sat down around the campfire, a terrifying cold edge running through his neck.

Poof. The white blade flashed, and blood gushed from the warrior's neck. He covered the notch cut by the dagger, lay on his back on the blanket, and looked at the wanderer who had killed him with wide eyes.

"Mahi, go kill the other one."

The warrior had just seen the appearance of the female blood, when another male voice commanded the female wanderer.

Swish. Blue's pupils, who had not yet lost his breath, shrank. Because the female assassin was stealthy faster than he could have imagined.

"Darkwing has encountered a strong enemy tonight......" was the last thought of the mercenary warrior before he died.

A level 10 human mercenary, there are no templates. It's only a line stronger than monsters of the same level.,Naturally, it won't drop good things.。 Charles glanced at the corpse by the campfire, and did not ask the noble girl to touch the corpse.

"I recorded an invisibility ...... in the spell slot in the wee hours of the morning," said Cathy. Simon grabbed the Blackwood Staff and said with a hint of excitement on his face.

"You don't need invisibility, just go in." Charles shook his head, looking at the female Bloodline who had emerged in front of the campfire. "The other one is cleaned up?"

"Hmm." Mahi nodded.

"Wait a minute!"

Charles pulled out the gold emblem, locked himself, and chanted a magic spell.

【Power of the Ox】!

【Bear Tenacity】!

【Owl's Insight】!

[Eagle's Majesty]!

A total of 4 second-ring magic spells are thrown at you, so that your strength, constitution, perception, and charisma attributes all get a temporary bonus of +4 for 15 minutes.

"Strength 22 (+4), Constitution 20 (+4), Agility 15, Intelligence 17, Perception 25 (+4). Charisma 25 (+4) ......"

And then count the 'Ioun's Stone', which is permanently activated in the backpack. Dragon's Grip's equipment attributes, and now the basic attributes of the Charr are even more terrifying than the natives of the exemplary rank!

The dual attributes of perception and charm are only 1 point away from breaking through the 30 mark.

"[Aid]*3!"

Charles continued to cast spells with the emblem, giving everyone in the queue, including himself, a [Assistance] status, granting +1 Attack Bonus, +1 Fear Immunity, and 20 Temporary Health.

In this way, the 7 magic recorded on the spell slot of the second ring were all used, but Charles didn't care, and he didn't use them after midnight. Tomorrow morning, the magic will be updated again.

"It's not enough." Charr turned his gaze to the One Ring spell slot, and only picked one [Entropy Light Shield] out of the 7 slots. Throw it at yourself.

"[Entropy Light Shield]: Creates a mana field around the target, with a 20% chance to deflect arrows, rays, and other ranged attacks for 15 minutes."

Most of the commonly recorded Ring Divine Techniques are auxiliary in nature, such as [Fluent Language], [Detect Faction], [Remove Fear], and [Sanctuary], in addition to which Charles also records [Divine Grace] and [Environmental Adaptation].

[Divine Grace] can directly increase the attack power, but the duration is too short. The charr now has 15 priest levels, and the charism only lasts for 60 seconds, so this spell is only suitable for bursts in battle.

In the case of the three-ring spell slot, there are now 9 available slots due to the expansion of the 'Arcan's Soul', another Ion's Stone. But. The three-ring magic is almost all in support and attack, and there is no magic like [Ox Power] to improve attributes.

In addition, the effect of the four-ring divine magic [Divine Power] (+6 strength, +30 temporary health) conflicts with the first ring [Divine Grace] and the second ring [Ox Power], which means that the divine state can only exist in one type and cannot be stacked.

The priest's list of magic and spell slot restrictions doomed the class to hand-to-hand combat, and it didn't need to be proficient, at least it could pick up a mace and smash people to death.

"Let's-"

After getting ready, Charles finally replaced the ornament on his head with a [Dragon Mask], and his face was suddenly covered by a dark gold mask with a five-headed dragon carved on the side.

The aristocratic girl, who had been sternly admonished by the priest when she came, followed closely behind the priest with the shield. She casts her own [Protective Arrow] (1st Ring), [Stone Skin] (4th Ring), and other backup protective spells include [Protective Energy Damage] (3rd Ring), [Reverse Arrow] (3rd Ring), and [Secondary Spell Nullifying Enchantment] (4th Ring).

Aside from the psychological aspect, Charles never worried about aristocratic maidens. Because she is not the kind of down-and-out warlock, she has a noble bloodline, and she must have obtained a large number of known spells when she awakens, rather than worrying about a mage who is higher than her own and is about to step into the exemplary rank, Charles feels that it is better to care more about herself.

The other, a half-heroic magician, is the one Charles knows he is the one to be taken care of.

The castle in Maple Grove must have set up an alarm spell, and Charles, the Noble Maiden, and Mahi had just crossed the drawbridge and rushed into the castle when a lot of mercenaries suddenly appeared in the darkness.

Without asking, Charles noticed the sound of bowstrings and crossbows firing from every corner of the vicinity, and there were at least twenty or thirty mercenaries firing long-range arrows at the team at the same time.

The arrows that burst through the air were not all silver, and some mercenary rangers used expensive enchanted arrows, which were either covered with a layer of frost or surrounded by fire.

"Bang"

As soon as the female bloodline with the highest agility attribute entered the castle courtyard, she jumped up violently in the air, and her slender legs stepped on the stone wall behind her, and she actually climbed the nearly ten-meter-high wall battlement in the blink of an eye, and the sharp dagger went straight into the heart of a mercenary ranger.

"This battle really looks up to us......"

Surrounded by so many arrows for a while, Charles couldn't help but feel cold air on the soles of his feet, and hurriedly strode back, ignoring the panicked shouts of the noble girl, and pressed Cathy against the outer wall of the castle with his back, completely protecting her with his body covered with heavy armor.

Knock knock......

At the same time, the 'shield of the mountains' erected high emitted a dense and pleasant collision sound. (To be continued......)
