Compared with the steadiness and composure of the three people on Donald's side, the ruins were in front of them, and the two families of Ansel and Thorne were a little uncomplacent.

Edvina and Horton each commanded the family's swordsman guard, and the others followed closely behind, heading towards the two nearest well-preserved buildings.

The architecture here is typical of the Arcanist Empire, and it is also a combination of ancient human architecture and elven style. Outside, there is a courtyard in the style of lù heaven, there is no wall, there are only a few railings around it, on which are carved vine-like decorations, and the wide gate has only two carved huā columns, and there is no so-called door panel at all.

"Wait!"

Just as the two parties had just stepped into the courtyard doors of the two buildings, Donald suddenly issued a warning.

This is not a warning of danger from the Book of Truth, but a reaction to the Orb of the Spirit Hún, which has been hidden in his bosom and is ready to secretly collect the dead enemy's Spirit Hún in battle.

This phenomenon indicates that there is a collectible spirit hún power around, and seeing that the reaction of the spirit hún ball is so great, it is obvious that the spirit hún power is not a few.

The Ansel's side heard Donald's warning, and Edvina knew that Donald would not be untargeted, so she immediately ordered the two in front of her to retreat from the gate. And the people of the Thorne family were a little slower, and they didn't pay much attention to Donald's warning, after all, Donald was only a young mage on the surface, and he had only just gained bronze strength, and the elder of the Thorne family, Horton, had been a silver mage for twenty years, and he was already a strong man in the silver high level.

So after such a delay, Horton, who felt that something was wrong, had no time to stop it, and the two swordsmen in front had already entered the courtyard.

In the courtyard of a well-shaped pool, there was an immediate sound, and then a humanoid creature composed of water but wearing black sè armor emerged from the pool.

“...............”......”

The water man opened his mouth and said something he didn't understand to the visitor, and then a blue light appeared in the position of his eyes, and the black staff in his hand had already begun to be raised.

The words spoken by the Water People are the Ancient Elves, one of the two lingua franca languages of the Arcanists. Only Donald and his apprentices could understand a little, after all, today's elvish language evolved from the ancient elven language. Both of them are mages who have studied Elven language, because in order to prevent secrets from leaking, many ancient alchemy circles and recipes are written in Elven language, so as a mage who works part-time as an alchemist, Elven language is a subject that must be learned.

As for Edvina and Horton, although they are both silver mages, one is an elemental mage and the other is a wizard, and they don't pay much attention to elven language, at most they know some simple characters, because they have limited time and don't have time to study the others.

However, the Donald can only be regarded as familiar with the Elvish language, and cannot be said to be proficient, so he cannot fully understand the meaning of what the water man said. So he immediately asked, "Kael'thas, what does it say?"

"Master, it said that this is the residence of the junior arcanist Drew, please don't try to break in without the master's permission, if you don't leave immediately, it will attack!"

Because of his elf identity, Kael'thas learned the ancient elven language in addition to the elven language, which was transcribed by Donald.

However, Kael'thas was clearly a step too late for his translation, and the watermen in the courtyard of the building had already begun to attack.

I saw that as soon as the water man waved the staff in his hand, several water arrows shot towards the two silver swordsmen of the Thorne family. Then the water man kept moving, raised his staff high, waved it a few times, and a rain of water elemental energy with corrosive xìng fell on top of the two of them in mid-air.

"Be careful! this is a water hún mage puppet, each water hún mage has a silver level of strength, and is the most popular spell guard for the arcanists、,

Seeing this scene, Edvina over there remembered the records she had seen in the family books, and hurriedly reminded the Thorne family.

At this time, the Thorne family and others were already fighting with the puppet of the mage of the water.

Although the water hún mage is powerful, but in the final analysis, he is only a puppet creature, and his wisdom is not high, if he is a mage, he should be very easy to deal with.

But for a melee class like the Swordsman Assassin, it can be very difficult.

Normal physical attacks are basically useless against elemental golems, and their cores are also protected by Black Sè's armor, making them difficult to break with a single hit.

The sword qi can hurt the bodies of these water mage puppets, shrinking their size, and finally leaving only one core and losing their combat ability, but if the sword qi is released with every blow, it will consume too much physical strength, and I am afraid that it will not be able to support entering the depths of the ruins. Moreover, this water puppet mage is also in the pool, which has the advantage of constantly absorbing the water element to replenish itself.

"The swordsman stepped back to guard, and I will deal with this puppet!" Horton also quickly discovered the weakness of the water hún mage puppet, and understood the fighting style of this puppet that does not know how to work, so it is a very simple problem to solve it.

Seeing that Horton, under the protection of the swordsman, first chanted the incantation, and summoned a cloud of water and gas around the water hún mage puppet, which relied on breath to perceive the existence of the outside world. Although it belongs to half water elemental beings... Casting spells with water may seem to increase its strength, but water mist can also obscure its perception.

Just when the water hún mage puppet felt the breath of the outside world intermittently swimming, cruising in the pool, not knowing how to act, Horton then raised his hand to summon a cone-shaped flame bombardment on the water hún mage puppet.

The water mage puppet without any defense was hit by this blow, and although the core was not damaged under the protection of the puppet's armor, the water elemental body of the whole body was shattered on the spot. Horton exclaimed, "It's now!"

Hearing this, the two swordsmen of the Thorne family in front of him immediately flew forward, fished out the golem armor and staff that had fallen into the pool, and kept them away from the pool, so that the water mage puppet would not have a chance to summon the water element again to condense the form.

Seeing that Horton only used a second-level spell Cloud Mist Technique and a fourth-level spell Flame Impact Bō to easily defeat a silver-level spell puppet, and the spell casting was skillful and elegant, Donald couldn't help but sigh, this is the real mage strength. I'm still far from the same. Don't look at Horton's water and fire, in fact, these two are spells used by wizards, using spells to summon elemental power attacks, not the way elemental mages perceive elemental genus xìng to manipulate the elements.

After dealing with the water puppet, Horton ordered the three family swordsmen to follow him into the arcanist's house and search, but found nothing of value except for some rotten furniture items.

Of course, this was not surprising to them, after all, the mage puppet had already said that the owner of this building was only a junior arcanist, and it was surprising what precious items he could find.

At this time, Donald deliberately stepped forward and took Horton's trophy in his hand and looked at it. At the heart of the water hún puppet is a black sinkstone the size of an egg. This thing is called the water hún stone, and Messer, as a master alchemist, knows a lot about it.

"The water hún stone is the best material for refining the water element puppet, and it is generally only possible to produce it in the rare water element creatures on the continent, each of which is worth more than the fifth-level magic core, like this one, it is the water hún stone made by a powerful arcanist thousands of years ago, and it is more precious than the sixth-level magic core!"

In fact, Donald didn't care much about the water hún stone itself, he just wanted to take the opportunity to absorb the power of the spirit hún in it.

It's a pity that the original pure spirit hún power has been eroded by the dissolution of the water element, and most of the spirit hún power is combined with the water element under the action of magic to form the water hún stone, and the remaining spirit hún power stored in the spar is only more than 300 units, which is only enough to summon a third-level army. If all of them are absorbed, then this water hún stone will also be destroyed, and the power of the spirit hún obtained is only one-third more, and the rest are pure water elements, and he is not an elemental mage specializing in the water system, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Although the water hún stone that has absorbed the power of those floating spirits can still be used to make puppets, the spirit xìng of puppets will be greatly reduced. Of course, Donald, who took a small advantage, would not explain it to Horton and others.

A junior arcanist is equivalent to a modern bronze mage, and a bronze mage can have such a silver-level spell puppet guard at home, which shows how powerful the caster of the Arcanist Empire would be.

After this battle, the Donald and they had cleared the ruins of most of the ordinary buildings.

Each well-preserved building has a small enchantment, which is why the Arcanists don't need gates and walls, and it is these enchantments that isolate the outside world from the building, and once outsiders set foot in the courtyard, the water hún puppet will appear.

Looking at the surrounding ruins, there are at least hundreds of such buildings, and I don't know how much time it will take to knock them down one by one, and by then we may have no strength in the face of real danger, so Donald said: "It's better for us to advance along this avenue to the center, and the surrounding buildings can't be lost here, and when the most important part is dealt with, we can get the most precious things in our hands, and then we can search slowly, lest when we go around the periphery, something goes wrong inside!" Both Ansel and Thorne knew what was going on, so naturally they wouldn't object.

However, there are also a number of buildings on both sides of the main road leading to the center of the ruins, and without delay, Donald and they have also solved some of the spell guards in the buildings. Most of them are mainly water hún mage puppets, and it seems that the original arcanists were really very popular to use this water element golem, which can not only defend the house, but also clean the courtyard and purify the air.

Only Donald unexpectedly encountered a magical construct in a different kind of building. In the envious eyes of others, he put away the metal structure golem uniform that belonged to the shield guard, and found the shield guard control charm left by its owner in the building, as well as the manufacturing blueprints of the related magic structure. ！。
