Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Underworld
The soldiers are fast, and since Daniel has decided to face it, he begins to prepare. If you want to confront head-on, there is only one dead end, and you can only find another way.
Daniel first went to Vernal's shop, brought back enough materials, and began refining potions. Like some bursting potions, highly poisonous potions, he refined a lot. If you take money and smash it, you will also stone the minotaur to death.
It took three days to prepare before Daniel set off for the underworld. It turned out that right at the entrance, he got an unfavorable news. Yesterday, Brooke had already set off for the Underworld.
Daniel could only console himself that trying to slaughter the minotaur tribe was not a task that could be completed in a day or two, and it would take at least a few months. What if you go a day early?
Unveiling the badge representing his identity, the guard waved his hand and let Daniel go to the passage.
The passage itself is a circular hole tens of meters in diameter, straight down, leading to the underworld.
Around the passage is a circular staircase that leads in a circle to the endless depths.
This design is mainly for the sake of saving effort, the underground world is more than ten miles vertical distance from the surface, and it is not easy for ordinary apprentices to enter it. This is an endless circular staircase for people to go up and down.
At this time, there were several apprentices on the stairs, preparing to go down. Daniel greeted him with a smile, "Professor, you're going to the Underworld too?"
"yes!"
"Great, or we'll go together. The distance between the underground world and the surface of the earth is more than ten miles, and it takes a day to reach the underground world.
At noon, we had to eat and rest in the rest area opened in the middle. At such a distance, a person is very lonely, but it is still a group to have someone to talk to. ”
Facing their invitation, Daniel smiled apologetically: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm ready to go by myself." ”
In this case, several people did not force it, turned around and walked down. It's just that the thought of Daniel looking down on them inevitably rises in their hearts.
Since you want to walk alone, then you can walk on your own.
Glancing down, the circle of stairs leads to the depths of the ground, and there is no edge to be seen. Daniel put down the package behind him, only to see him tinker a few times, and suddenly a parachute-shaped thing appeared on his back.
That's why Daniel wasn't with them, and he was going to go straight down with a parachute. It's a lot faster than walking.
Jumping down, Daniel followed the middle passage and landed quickly downward.
Listening to the sound of the wind whistling in my ears, watching the surrounding walls turn into afterimages due to falling too fast, blurred, not to mention the feeling of heartbeat. The faint of heart can be directly frightened.
After a while, Daniel pulled up his parachute and slowly plunged to the ground.
Several people are arguing about Daniel's actions not to be with them, and they all think that Daniel looks down on them. Suddenly I saw a falling parachute, and I was wondering, and Daniel's hearty laughter came from above. "Guys, I'll go first. ”
By the time they reacted, Daniel had already arrived. Several people looked at each other, although they had never seen a parachute, but there was a kind of witchcraft called feather falling, which can make people as light as a feather, and fall from the sky without harm.
It's just that they need to consume mana, and they have less mana, so they are reluctant to consume it like this, so this is the passage they go.
But I didn't expect Daniel to invent this method, and it seems that he will learn it in the future.
After a few minutes, Daniel had arrived in the underworld, which was much more convenient than a passageway. Shoot a fireball and burn the parachute. Daniel made his way and headed south.
The underworld is not like the earth, and there is a different scene. It is surrounded by wide passages, dozens of meters high, and even a small crack.
One passage is connected to another, and the passages are connected like a spider's web. A passage may have dozens or hundreds of exits leading in different directions. People who don't know the way are very likely to get lost.
At the end of the passage is a cave attached, the largest of which is said to be the size of a small empire, and hundreds of meters high.
And the small ones are karst caves, or caves.
There is no sunlight in the underworld, and it depends on the moss on the walls of the surrounding caves, which emit a gentle light that is enough to illuminate the surroundings without feeling dim.
Daniel didn't have such troubles, he had already found the passage to the Minotaur tribe through the chip, as long as he followed the instructions of the chip, he could find the Minotaur tribe all the way.
The area of the cave where the Minotaur tribe is located is not small, enough to compare to the Duchy of Deauville, where Daniel is located, and being able to occupy such a large place in the small underground world can show the strength of the Minotaur tribe.
This is also where their confidence lies in daring to rebel against the Flame Throne Wizard Academy.
It took Daniel two days to reach the cave where the Minotaur tribe was located. Then he hid his body and cautiously walked towards the Minotaur tribe, preparing to take a look at the situation of the tribe before making plans.
Seeing a black pillar of smoke rising in the distance, Daniel's heart tightened, he couldn't hide his figure, and he was blessed with a light body technique, and quickly ran into the distance.
Beyond a mountain, there is a wide plain where the Minotaur tribe is located. At this time, in the originally quiet and peaceful tribe, black pillars of smoke rose one after another, and the whole tribe seemed to be bombarded, one by one houses collapsed, and many tall, more than three meters tall, Minotaurs were fighting fires everywhere.
Daniel secretly wondered who they were attacking, could it be an enemy tribe?
If this is the case, he can just join forces and destroy the Minotaur tribe together, which is much easier than it is for him to act alone.
Sensing movement next to him, Daniel looked up, and a hundred meters away, a group of minotaurs, led by several minotaurs with staffs, walked towards the tribe scolding.
The voices of these minotaurs were so high-pitched that Daniel could hear them even from such a distance. They spoke the ancient Byronic language, which was in the library, and although Daniel had heard of it for the first time, he wrote it down first, and when the other party left, he quickly understood what the minotaur was talking about according to the chip.
It turned out to be a wizard apprentice who claimed to be the Flame Throne Wizard Academy, attacked this place, and told them to wait, he just stood ahead, and soon someone was going to destroy the Minotaur tribe. This group of minotaurs chased after the murderer under the leadership of the minotaur sacrifice, but unfortunately they still let the other party escape.
This happened at a critical moment when he was competing for a place in the wizard seed. Daniel didn't even think about it, but he understood what was going on.
It must be damn that Brooke didn't go to the northern minotaur tribe after coming to the underworld, but ran here first to cause trouble.
Exterminating an unsuspecting tribe of minotaurs or a well-guarded tribe are two different concepts.
He is really unscrupulous in order to become a wizard seed for himself.
Daniel's teeth itched, and he wondered if he could get him in trouble too. Don't look at Brooke to leave first, but Daniel is confident that he can find the northern minotaur tribe before he does.
After thinking about it for a while, Daniel gave up on this tempting plan.
Thinking about how to slaughter the minotaur tribe. In the case that the minotaur is on guard, let alone a strong attack, even if he walks over, he will be attacked. He didn't want to be besieged.
Eventually, Daniel decided to take advantage of the chaos and go first. "Grandma pulls a single guaganti bull's head. ”
With the incantation, Daniel's appearance suddenly changed, his body grew taller, thick hair appeared on his body, and a ring appeared on his nose. Get rid of the image of a minotaur.
This is exactly the Transfiguration technique that Daniel has mastered. The specific spell varies depending on what is changed. The more difficult the transformation, the greater the force required.
If you change the shape of your face, you will need very little force. But to turn a person into an animal, the magic required is incredibly powerful.
Looking in the mirror, Daniel was still satisfied.
I'm now a little minotaur of the Minotaur tribe.
Seeing that there were no horns on his head, Daniel reached out and touched them, and two small horns grew quickly.
Smearing a handful of dirt and getting dirty, and changing into a costume similar to that of the Minotaur tribe, Daniel stepped into the tribe.
The reason why it is a small minotaur, Daniel can't help it, who made him not have enough magic now, and change into a minotaur warrior more than three meters tall, the magic power consumed is too great to bear, so he can only choose a small minotaur.
While the Minotaur was in chaos, busy treating the wounded and extinguishing the fire, there was no one to guard against it, and Daniel easily blended in.
He had just wandered around two steps inside when a minotaur stuffed him with a large wooden basin. He shouted in a rough voice, "What are you running around, go and bring me water to put out the fire." ”
As he spoke, he kicked Daniel.
Daniel had no choice but to use two cow hooves to carry a wooden basin, go around extinguishing the fire, and enthusiastically treat the wounded. It seems like a good idea, but it's actually a good idea to observe the situation around the tribe and make sure to record all the details.
With a bull roar, all the surrounding minotaurs gathered in the middle of the tribe, and Daniel was stunned for a moment, wanting to take this opportunity to leave. But the other minotaurs grabbed the fur on the back of their necks and listened to change directions.
could only smile helplessly and follow him.
