"Black tentacles and demon cracks to drive away? Is this all the 4-ring spells you can find in Nvidia Town? After deciphering the runes above, Rielly placed the tough scroll on the table. Then he asked, scratching his chin with his index fingernail.

Barrett, who was about to sway gently on the back of his chair, turned his head at this time: "You can get these two, you are content!" Normally, in a small town like NVIDIA, there will be no 3-ring scrolls for sale on the market, let alone 4-rings. It's a collection of the local Boreham Chamber of Commerce, and you'll have to look elsewhere if you want more. ”

Just like the wealth occupied, magical items tend to be available in larger cities. Therefore, most mages aspire to the metropolis, because it is there that they can obtain more resources. At the same time, because of the enrichment effect, it is easier for mages there to communicate with their peers. On the contrary, it contributes to the attractiveness of the metropolis to research-based spellcasters.

And a border town like Nvidia, if it weren't for the garrison and decent border trade, I'm afraid that even the Boreham Comptoir might not have prepared a 4-ring spell scroll - after all, for a business organization, this means that some of the funds will be idle for a long time. In terms of the rate of return on investment, it can definitely be called a loss-making transaction. So for Rieli, it was luck to be able to get these two different spell scrolls.

"The Ava Black Tentacles are useful in the right places. In the future, when we deal with those small and medium-sized creatures, we can bully the guys who are entangled in them as we like after the grappling. Speaking of this, Rielly's original smile suddenly disappeared, and her slightly cheerful voice became a little muffled: "But the Demon Crack Exorcism is a disarming magic that can cause damage. And the damage is so low, a whole ring is completely high, and it can't be drawn at all! ”

'Eva Black Tentacles' is a spell that creates a powerful black tentacle that covers a radius of 20 feet. These tentacles are each 10 feet long. These surging tentacles appear to emerge from the surface of any foot, from the dirt, from the floor, and from the water. They cling to and entangle the creatures that enter the area, trapping them with great force, and then crushing them - magical girls, so to speak, ahem! It is the four-ring control spell that is the favorite of spell masters.

Any creature that enters the spell area is immediately attacked by the tentacles (whipped and squeezed). In addition, medium-sized and small-sized creatures have a hard time escaping the grip of tentacles with a maximum strength of 19 points, which are considered part of large creatures. Moreover, because these tentacles are immune to all types of damage, they can't solve the problem with a sword. Even creatures that manage to escape the tentacles' grip will only be able to move at half their normal speed until they escape the area.

If the two little ones like Noodles or Lalu were to get bogged down, Rielly would be able to decide what to do with them next while sipping her coffee. And if it's used against some enemy ladies, there may be some additional special effects! As long as it's not in the wilderness, it's a very cost-effective spell.

Crack Exorcism is a different story: the caster rips the spell energy that has been infused into the creature's body away from its body, converts it into a damaging burst of energy, and uses that energy to cauterize him before the spell is lifted. This spell effect is very similar to 'Spell Lifting'. It's just that when a spell effect is removed from any creature, the removed spell deals 2 damage to the target at each level. If a creature loses multiple spell effects at once, each effect causes it to take damage.

The damage of this spell is so low, I am afraid that the effect it can have is not as good as that of the Arcane Missile of the First Ring in many cases. And using a 4-ring spell to have the effect of a three-ring and a deteriorating one-ring spell is a loss-making deal no matter how you look at it. It's no wonder that Rielly has a grudge against this spell.

"Better than nothing! Since this spell has not been lost, it can always be used in a suitable situation. Before you get to Karada or Boram, you'll probably only have these few spells to support you. Barrett spoke as he stood up.

"Love or not, right?" Despite saying this, Rielly put away the two expensive scrolls. The mage's brain naturally understood that it was not easy to get a scroll in such a small place, and coupled with the turbulence on the continent during this time, as long as he could increase his strength, he could not let go of any straw.

Just then, the door was pushed open. The halfling wanderer, who had gone out early in the morning, returned to the house with a blank face. He didn't even say hello, but went to his boat and lay down. Barrett, who noticed that something seemed to be wrong, immediately asked, "Noodles, what's wrong with you?" It won't be the punishment given by the church after the mission fails! ”

"Our church is not a cult, and there were too many accidents in the previous mission, and it is not that there are problems with a few of our executors. There will be no punishment or anything. But the noodle lying on the bed suddenly changed his voice, "But the 'Queen of the Dragon' church has made a lot of money this time." A half-plane relic that has been brought closer or even semi-fused into the main plane is enough to change the strength of our two churches to a certain extent. ”

"In other words, I'm afraid the 'Good Dragon God' Church will have a hard time in the future?" After basically understanding the reason for Noodle's bad mood, Barrett held his chin and nodded. The two churches have been at loggerheads for thousands of years, and while the struggle has continued, it has gradually become more and more balanced. At such a time, any change that breaks the balance will affect the whole body.

At the same time, for most of the inhabitants of the Western Continent, the expansion of the power of the 'After the Dragon' church will never be a good thing. No one knows when they will go crazy and raid towns - although it is rare in areas where the regime is strong, it does not mean that there are no exceptions. Therefore, the vast majority of the nobles maintain the most basic vigilance against the 'Queen of the Dragon' church, in order to prevent the industrialization of their painstaking management from becoming a sea of fire one day.

If the chances of the 'After the Dragon' church attacking ordinary towns are not great, then when the 'After the Dragon' church has the upper hand, attacks on the 'Good Dragon God' church and related people and industries will definitely become frequent. As for how many innocent people would be affected by such a large-scale attack, it was by no means within their consideration.

Noodle, who is now a member of the 'Good Dragon God' Church, has previously participated in missions against the 'Evil Dragon Queen' Church. So although he is not on the first list of the 'After the Dragon' church, he is also the type that will never let go after encountering him. In other words, the halfling wanderer will probably have to be a man with his tail between his legs in the next few days.

Lying on the boat like a 'big' man, Noodle said weakly, "Yes! I now have to cover myself with a hood even when I go out. Who knows if there are believers in the 'Queen of the Dragon' church nearby. ”

"Probably not! It's not so easy to tell a halfling in a cloak! If you wear a hood, there's nothing to worry about. Rielie on the side cared for the noodles rarely.

Barrett, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows and shook his head lightly: "The noodles themselves are easy to hide, but the characteristics of our team are obvious. In addition, when we clashed with the 'Queen of the Dragon' church before, we didn't kill a lot of people. Who knows if a few of us are on their list. ”

"I won't run into that damn red dragon again next time!" Rielly was taken aback by Barrett's abrupt statement, "Even if I learned Transfiguration now, I still can't prevent it from dive bombing." ”

"It shouldn't be the red dragon, after all, its mission has failed." Barrett stretched out his hand and shook his head against the table, "If the 'Queen of the Dragon' Church really sends someone to deal with us, it will definitely choose someone much stronger than it." Or a dragon with a breath far away. ”

"Aren't we in danger now, then?" As he spoke, Clematis was coming from outside the door. The town of Nvidia also has a stronghold of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, and although the temple is pitifully small, someone who is a visiting priest can't help but visit it.

Barrett was silent for a moment, then said, "It depends on how much the 'Queen of the Dragon' church can benefit from that ruin. And it depends on whether the benefits can be immediately transformed into short-term benefits of strength, or the long-term benefits that flow in the long run. If it's short-term interests, I'm afraid that marginal people like us are also dangerous. ”

Don't look at the players of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' who killed a lot of members of the 'Queen of the Dragon' church when they rescued the noodles. But for the 'post-dragon' church, they are completely marginal. Perhaps in their eyes, the rest of the entire 'Bloodstained Grey Flower' squad combined is not as high as Noodle's priority - who made him a member of the Church of the Dragon God of Good'! Compared to the fights and killings between the two, the results for the players are nothing more than a drizzle.

"Is it mainly about the benefits of that ruin?" Noodles, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly sat up. But then he lay down: "But there is too little information about those ruins. After all, that ruin can't be considered in the main plane, and after being controlled by the 'Queen of Dragons' church, it is almost impossible to infiltrate. So don't look at the rumors flying all over the world now, only a few people who can really know the specific situation are the 'Queen of the Dragon' church and the dark elves. ”

At this time, Klaimatis could only pray: "I hope that relic is not too easy to digest." That way, we'll have plenty of time to prepare for the attack. ”

"Clematis, maybe you have a way! The items in the ruins may not all be used by the 'Queen of the Dragon' church, and they are definitely eager to improve their strength after occupying such a large area. Therefore, it is inevitable to exchange the items you need. Barrett smiled at this, "There's nothing to hide from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce when it comes to trade. I think you'll soon be able to spend money or contribute money to buy relevant information. ”

The ruins that were discovered this time were in the half-plane, yes. But the land currently occupied by the 'After the Dragon' Church must also have something to do with that half-plane. Otherwise, there would be no anomalies in the space around there. What's more, if it is an ordinary half-plane, the 'evil dragon' church that has discovered the way to enter and exit can completely use teleportation-type spells to enter and empty the gods unconsciously. How could it be known to the world like it is now?

And don't look at the 'After the Dragon' church seems to have taken advantage of it now, but in fact, it has not been jointly defended by the surrounding forces, and it will inevitably need to face a group of neighbors who are eyeing each other. After all, as long as that half-plane is really related to the land that the 'Queen of Dragons' Church now controls. The main thing is to expel them, and the re-occupiers will be able to get a certain head start. Even if they can't find a way to enter for a while, the mages to which those forces belong can try to crack it nearby.

If it weren't for the fact that a civil war was now breaking out between the royal family and local powerhouses in the Kingdom of Cruze. The little mushrooms of the 'After the Dragon' church have long been bulldozed. Where is their turn to eat there safely. But this situation may not last long, neither the Cruze royal family nor the local lords will sit idly by and watch the 'Queen of the Dragon' church grow in their own land.

The same is true of the 'Queen of the Dragon' church. So as long as the resources of that relic are large enough, in order to be able to reap as many benefits as possible, the 'After the Dragon' church has to expend resources to strengthen itself. This was used to counter a possible attack by the Cruze royal family and local nobles. And such a large-scale transaction, even through the black market, will definitely not escape the eyes of the church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'.

"Buy information from the church? I'm not sure if I have permission to do that. And according to the style of our church, the price of information like this is definitely not cheap. Clematis said with a little embarrassment.

Hearing this, Noodles immediately rolled over and got out of bed: "When I get to a slightly larger city, I'll also go to the stronghold of my Lord's Church." In any case, they are old opponents who have been dealing with each other for so many years. If the 'After the Dragon' Church is about to make any big moves, we will be able to get some information there. ”

"It's a two-pronged approach! The more channels there are, the more likely it is to succeed. Rielly nodded. (To be continued.) )
