The young mage Hendrik quickly made a judgment, or rather, a mage had made a judgment a long time ago, recorded it in the tome, and he happened to have seen it and remembered it.

This fog is caused by a combination of terrain, some worthless mineral deposits, and coincidental factors, and it contains extremely weak magic in itself, and it is impossible to completely dispel it without a certain archmage, and everyone will die.

Speaking of which, books of this era were very expensive, and Lisi had told Luo Ming that although papermaking had been improved once a few decades ago, it was inferior to Cai Lun's improvement level in the Han Dynasty in China.

Even if the production of straw paper such as bookkeeping is larger, there are very few high-quality papers that can be bound into books and stored for a long time, and it is also very expensive.

Even if you can borrow a book to read, it won't be an ordinary person.

Not to mention the mages who are known for their rich knowledge, if their families are not wealthy, they can only find big money owners to provide them with investment for learning.

In the mercenary industry, there are very few spellcasters, let alone mages, a profession that is almost synonymous with wealth, and even if they lack money, they can easily find nobles to accept employment or even join their families.

Hendrik came to work as a mercenary as a mage, even if he said that he took advantage of the vacation of the mage academy to complete the subject of "social practice", it is quite a strange thing.

Hendrik also seems to have shown some interest in Rollin, especially in terms of Rollin's empty-handed martial arts outside of swordsmanship.

Of course, as a mage who delves into the mysteries of the world, he is still a young mage, and he is not lacking in curiosity, and he is interested in Grunty's swordsmanship, the runes on Gando's body, and even the half-elf archer.

After all, he was a young man, and he was still a mage who didn't go out often, and although he tried hard to get into words, and occasionally said some witty words, he couldn't resist that the people he asked were either old foxes or tight-lipped.

Luo Ming didn't mind making up some half-truths to bluff Hendrick, and it just so happened that he should be able to pull out a lot of things from his mouth, and finally make a friend......

In modern society, favor is sometimes more valuable than wealth, let alone this world? Hendrick is most likely a nobleman, a true mage, and has power and power at the same time, even Luo Ming, who is not particularly sociable, knows that there are many benefits to having a good relationship with him.

It's a pity that there is not much time left for them to chat, and as the team goes deeper into the forest, the advance speed becomes slower and slower due to the thickening of the fog, while the probability of the appearance of Warcraft and Dangerous Beasts is getting higher and higher.

Although the Black Iron mercenaries are much stronger than the civilians, they are still more prone to casualties when they are buried in searching for bones and relics.

Bronze-level mercenaries can only stabilize the front, and silver-level mercenaries who can immediately block or even defeat Warcraft with one final blow exist as a firefighting team at this moment.

often runs around on the front line for emergencies, and occasionally withdraws to rest, which is basically only enough to talk about two sentences.

Of course, several silver-level mercenaries have a lot of bronze-level mercenaries as helpers, and even the more dangerous magical beasts can be easily besieged and defeated, but they are not too tired.

Generally speaking, it is very rare for a Warcraft that will casually rush up to attack humans, and its strength is on par with that of a silver-level mercenary - the wisdom of most Warcraft will grow with strength, and it is basically a Warcraft that is as strong as a high-level swordsman, and many of them know how to forbear.

They probably understand that humans don't stay in the forest forever, and they will leave after a few days. And if you rush up to the death, you are likely to be injured or even killed, and even if you succeed in killing all these people, there may be more humans coming to fight.

Otherwise, no one can guarantee that there will not be many powerful demonic beasts in this forest to cause trouble.

Most of them, including the silver-level mercenaries and Levin, had the idea of such a fluke, but it wasn't long before reality taught them a good lesson.

================================

The long sword was like a rainbow, and the tip of the sword vaguely swallowed three inches of blue light, and it was faintly white, dotting at the point where a gap had appeared.

The vigorous strength that had been brewing for a long time in one breath and one breath suddenly erupted at this moment, Luo Ming shouted, the clothes were windless, and the long sword also penetrated the thick carapace, and an inch of the tip of the sword sank into the flesh and blood, trembling slightly.

Triumphant Wind Shinto Flow: Idle Wind Strikes Flowers!

Without even thinking about confirming the effect, he drew his sword and leaped back, his huge beak slicing past where he had been.

Hendrik's long-term incantation was finally activated, creating an ice field under the opponent's front feet - because it was a cold time in early spring, this spell was more powerful than usual, and half of the small tree-thick leg was frozen, temporarily sticking to the ground, so that Luo Ming was not pursued.

Although it let out a loud roar and wanted to continue struggling, and all the silver-level mercenaries also raised their vigilance, but as soon as it broke free from the ice, its body began to shake, and finally fell to the ground.

At this time, the Black Iron mercenaries, who were unable to participate in this battle at all, saw clearly what kind of monster it was—a huge snapping turtle about the size of three carriages and a carapace three fingers thick.

The mercenaries who had been injured by the giant beast laughed heartily, but three of the mercenaries had already died, and the other was also dying, so they never had a chance to laugh again.

From the inconspicuous wound caused by Luo Ming, a lot of blood quickly flowed out, staining the nearby ground red, as if it had punctured the major artery in the neck.

Unless you are a scholar specializing in Warcraft, it is naturally impossible for everyone to know everything about this Warcraft snapping turtle, and you can't observe the blood vessels at all from the appearance, how can it be so accurate?

After confirming that it was dead, Hendrick immediately rushed forward, and other silver-level mercenaries were not far behind, all thinking of stripping some benefits from it while it was fresh - of course, they had never seen a Warcraft of this strength a few times, and they had to rely on Hendrick's guidance at the critical moment to cut off the most valuable part from the corpse.

As for Luo Ming, who made the last and most critical blow, although he was still adjusting his breathing on the side, his share was naturally indispensable.

Hendrik gave advice, even if he didn't do it himself, he would naturally get a reward, he thought for a moment, and walked to the neck of the giant tortoise.

At this time, its blood was almost gone, and after Hendrik took a vial, he drew his knife and cut open the wound of Luo Ming's last blow earlier.

"Hmm! it's ......."

Although from the outside, it is just an ordinary sword wound, the width is about the same as that of an ordinary person's wrist, slender and flat.

However, the wound inside is not smooth and flat like an ordinary sword wound, but it is irregular and divergent, and the crack spreads, for example, like the marks of glass being smashed.

Even if it wasn't a vital point, it would have been hit hard, and the blow happened to hit the neck, and the wound spread right through the artery, so the giant snapping turtle bled to death.

Although I feel curious, this swordsmanship is definitely a stunt, and maybe it is still a secret. Hendrick thought that if he had the chance, it would be better to wait for the two of them to get acquainted with each other before asking.

And Luo Ming, as the person concerned, naturally knows what is going on.
