Chapter 16: Zur's Blessing

The three people who successfully wiped out all the dark creatures in the evil cave took the opportunity to clean up the area around the cave again. It was not until the evening of the fourth day that they returned to the camp.

There were only a few days left before Ethan left this world, and after thinking about it, he decided to continue with the two mages to destroy the Blood Raven.

Blood Raven Morena, the female archer that players can choose in Diablo 1, once defeated Diablo and saved the world.

It's a pity that after the extermination of Diablo, the idol of all the rogers in the past, slowly fell into the darkness, and when the dark power skyrocketed, the blood crow completely degenerated, became Andariel's thug, and was sent to deal with his former comrades.

"The only thing we can do for this hero is to free her from the grip of the dark forces. ”

Everybody understands that there is only one way.

After a night's rest, two mages and an apprentice set out on a journey to fight the darkness again. This time, it was far less relaxed than the previous one.

The Blood Raven is a powerful hero in its own right, and after its fall, it has not only become more powerful, but also has the ability to control undead creatures, and the sea of skeletal soldiers surrounds the Blood Raven in the middle. The blood crow under the layers of defense can show the demeanor of his top Rogue archer.

Ethan was very embarrassed in this 'crusade against the blood crows', although he did not suffer any damage under the protection of two powerful mages, but he also lost the magic item he had just made - after shooting all the arrows on the bracers, the biggest role of the bracers was to parry the attacks of the skeletons at a critical time.

One of them was that after the shield was damaged, Ethan hastily parried the slash of a skeleton soldier. I have to mention that Chasi is a very good blacksmith and did not cut corners, so this sword did not cut off Ethan's hand. But this time it also completely destroyed the already fragile magic array on the bracer.

The other is that when Ethan was caught in a scuffle, he was noticed by a blood crow in the distance and suddenly shot an arrow to kill him directly.

At the critical moment, an alarm suddenly rose in Ethan's heart, and with the high concentration of mental power, the ability to see everything seemed to slow down was exerted to the extreme, and he was able to accurately block this arrow with his bracers.

Compared to being chopped before, Zhen's wrist was numb. This time the injury was much more serious, even the wrist brace was shot by the blood crow, even if it penetrated the entire wrist and the inside and outside two layers of bracers, the arrow was still castrated, fortunately Ethan turned his head in time, and at the same time swung his wrist to reverse the direction of the arrow, so as to dodge this fatal blow.

After that, Ethan watched the two mages perform the whole time, and he only played a role in this battle to eliminate some miscellaneous soldiers at the beginning.

"We must continue to improve our strength!"

Treat wounds and clean up the battlefield.

When everything was over, Ethan looked at Zur and Issandra who returned to him, and smiled helplessly: "It seems that I can only accompany you here." ”

The two mages did not open their mouths to hold back, just smiled and nodded, just like when they did not refuse Ethan's joining, "Although it is not a long time, I will always remember this time in my heart." ”

Issandra asked, "Are you going to stay in Camp Rogue next?"

With Ethan's strength, he could no longer fight with them against the dark creatures, and the Blood Raven was already the limit of what he could move forward with, and if he continued, he would encounter stronger demons, and the sacrifice would be almost inevitable - and Ethan could not do any harm to the demons, so this sacrifice was worthless.

If he stays at Camp Roger, Ethan can do a lot of things. For example, helping Akara collect herbs and even make magic potions, helping Rog with simple healing bandages - learned from the nuns, and even helping Rog patrol the surroundings and clean up the dark creatures, with Ethan's current strength, the dark creatures in the Blood Wasteland no longer pose much of a threat to him, just be careful.

As for going home, Ethan said that he came from the East, and now that the fortress leading to the East is being occupied by Andariel, if Ethan wants to go home, he is afraid that he and Zur will destroy or seal Andariel, so that the Blind Eye Monks can recapture the Eastern Gate Fortress.

She couldn't have known that Ethan only had two days left to stay in this world, and even if he was strong enough, he wouldn't be able to continue to accompany the two of them to fight against Diablo.

In the past few days, he has been thinking of a suitable excuse, and this is the right time to say it.

"Actually, my teacher has located me through special magic, and will use teleportation magic to bring me back in the next two days. ”

Isandrora's eyes widened in an instant, and Ethan swore that since he had seen the female mage, he had never expected her eyes to be so big.

"How can you do such a thing? Your teacher...... Really a powerful mage. ”

Neither of the two mages had any doubts about Ethan's words, in fact, as many mages improved their cultivation, they would slowly find that their understanding of mystical powers was only scratching the surface, so they would not easily deny many things that sounded like nonsense.

Of course, there are also some mages who feel that their understanding of mystical powers has reached the pinnacle, so they deny everything they can't do.

Fortunately, neither Zur nor Issandra were such megalomaniacs, and they easily believed Ethan's words.

Even if they didn't believe Ethan, they didn't care, and after they were teleported back to the ocean by the space-time magic array in front of them two days later, they couldn't believe it.

Packed up, the three of them returned to Camp Rog again.

Ethan's imminent departure was not hidden from the people in the camp, so both Akara and Kashya knew that he was leaving, and they all came to say goodbye to him before he left.

"Thank you for all that you have done for us during this time, you will always be a friend of the Order of the Blind Eye, and if you have time, I hope you will be able to come back as a guest. ”

Akara sent Ethan some herbs, which had been lightly processed and most of them were made into powder, so it was not difficult to bring them with them.

Kasha gave Ethan a refined longsword, which could be used with one or both hands, the hilt and sword grid were very simple, without any pattern decoration, it seemed to be just an ordinary longsword, but when Ethan pulled out the longsword and swung it, he noticed that the longsword still exuded magic fluctuations.

"Magical equipment?"

Kasha smiled and nodded: "This longsword doesn't have any special abilities, it's just reinforced with magic means, so it's much stronger than ordinary longsword." ”

Ethan was not unhappy when he heard such a simple 'special effect', but even more happy. The most troublesome thing about many weapons is that they are not durable, and this kind of bladed weapon is especially easy to scrap after a high-intensity battle, and it is not strong enough in the final analysis. So, this simple magic effect is much more useful than any fireball, frost, lightning, etc.

Kashya was prepared for more than that, he knew that although Ethan had learned simple hand-to-hand combat, and now he could use weapons such as short swords, he didn't know much about weapons such as longswords. So, she also gave an extra codex.

"There are basic swordsmanship movements and practice methods here, and there are also some of my personal understanding and cultivation experience of swordsmanship, I hope it will be helpful to you. ”

Ethan took the Codex, and then thanked Kasha very solemnly, it was exactly what he needed so much, he didn't expect Kasha to give him this. Moreover, he is neither a disciple of Rog nor Kashya, this kind of thing is not something that can be given away casually in this world.

Even Akara, who spent more time together, only gave him some herb powder, but he didn't say anything about the magic potion making experience codex.

"Perhaps...... It's a lot of my own behavior that indirectly saved more of Rogge, right?"

After that, the rest of the camp came to say goodbye to Ethan, but Issandra and Zur were nowhere to be seen, and Ethan thought that they might be busy with something, or that they would not show up until tomorrow when they left.

However, it was not as Ethan had guessed, and early the next morning, Ethan packed up his salute and went to a clearing with his luggage, quietly waiting for the time for the teleportation magic to be activated.

At this time, Issandra and Zur finally appeared, along with Chasi, the blacksmith of the camp.

"I thought you wouldn't be here to see me off. ”

"How could it be, it's just that you're leaving all of a sudden, so I needed some time to prepare the present, and luckily caught up. Zur opened his mouth first, then spread his hand to reveal the unremarkable brass ring in his palm.

In this scene, Ethan suddenly wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start vomiting for a while, so he could only forcibly hold back: "What is this?"

He didn't think that Zur would casually give him an ordinary copper ring, it would be too wasteful to guess it himself, so just ask.

"It's a ring, Ethan. Zur smiled playfully: "It's just that I enchanted a curse on it." ”

The hand that had just been stretched out retracted, and Ethan looked at Zur with a 'you actually want to hurt me!' expression, in exchange for Zur's speechless face.

"It's an active spell that you can cast with your mental power to help you deal with your enemies. ”

Zur stopped joking with Ethan and introduced himself in detail about the ring. Like he said, it's straightforward and easy to use. Ethan can use his mental power to control the mana stored in the ring, and then actively unleash a curse of weakness to attack enemies.

Weakness: A curse that reduces the strength, agility, and durability of the target across the board, depending on the opponent's condition. It is the most entry-level spell of the Curse Spell of the Rasmar Priests.

However, considering the strength of Ethan's mental power and the fact that he has no magical power, this level of curse is the most suitable for him to use.

In addition, this ring can spontaneously absorb primordial mana from the surroundings, without the need for Ethan to provide additional energy, the only flaw is that the mana is not stored much, it can only be cast three times in a row, and you need to wait for the mana to recover. In fact, this automatic absorption and storage of primordial mana is the most difficult part of this prop to make.

"Nice prop, do you have a name?"

Zur nodded: "I came up with a name last night, it's called 'Zur's Blessing!', isn't that very appropriate?"

“......”
