265 Blood Mist and Visitors

Jude agrees with Renus. Because the progress of these days is very fast, and there is no trouble with delaying time, there is still plenty of time left for them. For the critical moment to come, it is indeed necessary to recharge energy.
Today it was Ruth's turn to set up a magic alert, so after Gordon had eaten, he went into his Leomon shelter. He needed a quiet environment to ponder the cause of all this weird stuff in the dungeon.
The conversation with Renus just now made Gordon angry. Although the female paladin's speculation was reasonable, he always felt that something was wrong - men also had a sixth sense.
Thanks to his excellent intellectual attributes, Gordon has a memory that is far from that of an ordinary person. He will dig out the bits and pieces from the day he entered the dungeon, and then slowly comb through them.
Not a single flower, every abandoned building, every broken sculpture, is not spared.
Finally, Gordon remembered something.
Whenever the dark elves are mentioned, people are always accustomed to thinking of the crazy god Rose the Spider. Because the relationship between the two is so close, it makes people form habitual thinking.
And during these days' trip, the team passed by three Dark Elf Temples. Gordon glanced at the temple square and marveled only at the lifelike sculptures on the temple square and the ornate frescoes on the walls. But he ignored the fact that there was not even a single statue of a spider or a painting or an abstract symbol in these temples.
In other words, the Dark Elves who established their kingdom in the underground of the Cold Mist Mountains were not followers of Queen Rose.
Most of the Dark Elves worship Rose the spider goddess, or an evil minor god in Rose's side, such as Sventam, the patron saint of male Dark Elf warriors. However, there are also some kind-hearted dark elves who are eager to return to the surface. Believe in the dark girl Elisetsu.
However, Gordon is sure that the dark elves who once lived here are not a minority who believe in the dark girl Elisetsu. Because if that were the case, they wouldn't be at war with the Ferreton Empire. The Platinum Temple is the state religion of Ferreton, and the platinum dragon god Bahamut and the dark girl Elise Triad belong to the same good camp. In order to combat an evil god like Rose, the followers of Bahamut are absolutely happy to cooperate with the followers of Eliestria.
In addition to traditional Dark Elven gods such as Rose the Spider and Elyse the Dark Maiden, there have also been some Dark Elf communities that have worshipped other gods throughout history.
Gordon carefully recalled the statues of the gods enshrined in the abandoned temple.
It was a beautiful woman without a glimmer of detail - that wasn't the point, because most of the female gods worshipped by the Dark Elves. All appear in a similar image. The most distinctive feature of the statue of the god is its expression: its eyes are sharp and its expression is cold, as if there is infinite anger and murderous intent in its chest.
Moreover, she also held a blood-dripping dagger in her hand.
Gordon felt that the goddess's face was somewhat familiar. But I can't remember seeing it in that book. After all, gods, especially goddesses. Both like to play some kaleidoscopic tricks. In front of different believers, appear in different images. Historically, many different gods have been described in the books of many races or kingdoms, but they are actually the same one. It is also because of the doppelganger games played by those evil gods that they have brought a lot of trouble to the research work of theologians.
Gordon thought it was likely that the problem was with the gods that the inhabitants had worshipped.
Two hours after lunch, Gordon left his cabin. He opened the eyes of truth and warning again. Now the blood-red mist was thicker.
This time, Gordon was finally able to feel the presence of this blood-red mist. It had a fishy, salty, blood-like taste, and was even warm. Let Gordon feel more and more like soaking in a hot spring. The blood in his body seemed to be singing happily, and Gordon felt that wave after wave of power poured into his body, making his spirits never better.
Suddenly, he felt movement in his dimensional bag.
Gordon opened the bag and examined it, revealing the thing that he had been ignoring and sitting in the corner.
In the town of Andory in the Cold Mist Mountains, the day when the demon army fell from the sky. Before Gordon left town, he had been with Longer. Ritter and Sarando. Ritter father and son fight.
After killing his enemies, he was given a Destiny Ring of unknown purpose, as well as a strange heart.
Longer. Ritter relied on that heart to transform into a blood demon, causing Gordon a lot of trouble. Later, Gordon found a drop of red liquid in his heart wrapped in a small silver ball. At that time, the drop even wanted to actively integrate into his body. Out of caution, Gordon didn't touch the thing, and kept putting it in the dimensional bag to eat ashes.
Unexpectedly, now, the silver ball containing the drop of red liquid was vibrating at an extremely fast frequency, as if it was resonating with some kind of energy.
Gordon could only blame this unusual phenomenon on the increasingly dense blood-colored mist.
Without opening the Eye of Truth and Warning, Gordon could feel the existence of the unusual arcane energy in the blood-colored mist, and no one else was an exception.
The three mages, Ruth, Jiaxi, and Ashna, hurried to Gordon's side.
"Mr. Gordon, I ...... We felt a particularly strange arcane energy...... "Ashna turned pale and sweated profusely from her forehead, as if she was struggling against some powerful force.
The other two mages were in a similar situation.
"Can you be more elaborate?"
Jiaxi said: "This kind of energy is very powerful, but it is also very depressing, which makes people feel breathless. ”
The girl, who hadn't spoken to Gordon since she entered the dungeon, also made an exception this time, and it seems that the situation is indeed very strict.
Russ nodded. Perhaps in order not to lose the upper hand in front of Gordon, he has always been very calm.
Gordon questioned the others again. The three priests of the Temple of Dawn also said that they seemed to feel a very intense and violent energy. The fighters said that they did feel very uncomfortable, but they couldn't say what it was.
The Paladin was the only one of them who was not affected in any way.
Now, Gordon can be sure that those blood-red mist are definitely not hallucinations caused by a problem with his mental state, but actually exist. He summed it up, and now everyone's situation in the fog is different.
Warriors who don't have arcane talent and are not sensitive enough to energy have the weakest reaction to the red mist, and only feel mild discomfort symptoms such as head swelling and tinnitus. Priests who draw their power from the gods they worship can sense certain properties of the blood-red mist. And the ones who reacted the most were the three mages who had to deal with arcane energy every day.
In addition, there are two people, Gordon and Renus. The latter remained like an insulator and did not feel any discomfort. The former, on the other hand, is a freak, and he actually feels quite comfortable in the blood-red mist, and the arcane power he has mastered has increased.
It's so weird.
Just as Gordon was trying to sort out all the information and come up with a more reasonable result, a disgusting voice that had been heard in the morning came from a distance again.
The sticky, greasy, dense and continuous creeping sound was really impressive.
"The ooze monster is here again, everyone get ready to fight!" Jude, as the captain, immediately gave the order.
Although everyone's mental condition is more or less wrong, it does not prevent them from fighting or completing the final mission.
With the experience of dealing with the Arcane Ooze Monsters last time, this time all four mages were placed in the center of the camp and were firmly protected—though Gordon didn't need it.
However, in addition to Gordon, the other three may have lost most of their combat effectiveness under the influence of the blood-colored red mist.
A large dark green translucent mud mass appears in view. Gordon cursed the dark elf mage who had created so many troublesome creatures as a result of his indiscriminate magic experiments, and blessed his companions with various buffs.
When Antonov wielded his terrifying two-handed greatsword and split an arcane ooze monster the size of a double bed, Gordon's keen hearing picked up another sound.
Mixed with the countless "cooing" squirming sounds, there are hurried footsteps accompanied by eager shouts, coming from afar.
That's the lingua franca of the Ferreton accent.
"Someone is coming, maybe the same group of people who entered the dungeon before us!"
Hearing Gordon's reminder, Antonov wielded his sword harder. No one knows whether the unseekers are friend or foe, and what the purpose of entering the dungeon is. In order to avoid the worst-case scenario, you must do your best to clean up these pesky arcane ooze monsters.
But there are too many monsters.
The swarm of soft mud monsters that surged like a colorful translucent mudslide was finally wiped out, and at this time, another team also appeared in everyone's sight.
For the sake of the two heavily armed warriors, they kept using their spiked shields to knock the arcane ooze monsters into bulk jelly. Behind these two heavy steamrollers, several Ferreton-style warriors guard the important figure in the middle, with their swords and shields in their hands. Among them, there are also several priests, who are constantly using the Holy Emblem to cast magic to assist the samurai in battle. At the end of the team are the archers armed with repeaters and using stormy crossbows to cut off the back path.
Such a team with reasonable professional matching, well-trained, and tacit cooperation is extremely strong in combat. And in terms of numbers, it is several times more than the squad on Gordon's side that performs special tasks. (To be continued......)
