Chapter 27: The Realm of Enchantment
The final exploration team includes: the Iron Mercenary Group Ron, the Iron Blood Mercenary Team led by Mi Xiu, including a human archmage and a magician, two thieves who are good at stealth and assassination, and five level 5 orc warriors. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The team led by the orc city lord Valen this time should not be underestimated, Valen himself is a sixth-level berserker, and the elite of this mission is exhausted, and the grenadiers and hoplites brought are the most elite full-strength squads of twenty people each, and their individual strength is above the third level. In the Demon Wings Mercenary Group, the fifth-level swordsman Relos, the fifth-level magic archer Gui'er, the third-level ice mage Lola, the third-level water mage Delis, and the sixth-level fire mage Douglas. There are twenty berserker squads of the Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and there are about fifty warriors, magicians, and archers from other mercenary groups who have reached the strength of the third level or above.
Finally, the team also includes:
Priest An Ao, rank unknown. Knight Aven, rank unknown.
A big white fat cat and a dozing puppy.
The orc warrior Valen deliberately chose the time of departure at noon, and when he left the city, the sun was hot and the sky was full of dust. Lola was wrapped in a wide magic cloak, her mouth curled and she ignored people all the way. The fairy girl has always grown up in a warm forest, and hates such a dry scorching sun the most. And, at noon, isn't it time to sleep for a beauty sleep?
However, after leaving Taranto City and heading west into the forest, the temperature dropped surprisingly fast, and there was a feeling of coldness in some places in the woods where the sun could have shone. When you reach the entrance to the Wraithlands, the biting chill doesn't look like summer at all, almost giving the illusion that you're in the winter season.
The entrance to the Wraith Land was remarkably quiet, and the villagers who had been living nearby had moved away with their families after the appearance of the Banshee's Howl, with only dilapidated huts and scattered farm implements proving that it had been inhabited. There was no sign of any wild beasts or monsters along the way, not even a single scumbag bird with a mouthful of mouths, and the long-tailed rabbit and mountain wolf that were common in the forest had completely disappeared, and there was a deathly silence everywhere.
Loud whispers came in a tidal wave without warning, conversations, sighs, sobs, and then eerily abruptly vanished. After a while, the terrible wails followed, and they were extremely terrible, as if they were suffering from bitter torture and torment.
Lola was so frightened that she hugged Delis's arm tightly and refused to let go. It's one thing to be magically superb, it's another to be afraid of undead creatures, and it's no surprise that the leprechauns are so good.
"What a powerful evil aura. ā
An'ao sighed as he stared at the massive crack in the ground.
As a priest who believed in the Holy Light, An'ao's perception of evil creatures was far better than that of others, and the aura of the undead creatures in this land of resentment was probably far more powerful than he had imagined.
"Let's go!
Valen gave an order in a deep voice, and the team with the orc warriors entered the crack first, followed by the Wolf Mercenary Group and the rest of the mercenaries.
The rugged terrain in the crack was still clearly visible, but strangely, as soon as Valen and the orc warriors entered, they immediately disappeared without a trace, as if they had just entered the crack.
"Domain Barrier?"
"Wait!"
Douglas shouted loudly, stopping Ron and Michaeu's team as they were about to enter. The old magician's face was solemn, yes, only the domain enchantment could achieve such a teleportation in the physical space without a trace.
The terrifying thing is that the magician who can cast the enchantment must have reached the level of a magister.
Could it be that a magister-level lord has appeared in the Land of Wraiths? Douglas couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of this. If this is the case, there is almost no chance that the mission of this exploration will be completed, and it will be completely annihilated. You must know that there are not many mages in the Camlando continent today. If there is really a necromancer in the undead legion, then it also indicates that the disaster of Camrando can be solved by a few mercenary groups.
The power of any of Necromancer's forbidden spells can easily wipe out an Imperial army.
However, there is another possibility, perhaps this enchantment is only a legacy of an ancient magister. Unlike the rest of the magic, the Domain Barrier can be used for as long as it absorbs the energy to keep it running. It doesn't need to be guided by the magician himself.
Douglas hesitated to speak his mind, following the old magician's advice that he should be cautious and regroup a stronger force.
An Ao smiled and said: "The Lord has given me holy light, which is to cleanse the evil of the world, and the Lord has guided me here because he thinks that I can save this place." ā
Relos grinned and said, "Okay, okay, if there is a necromancer, then I'll leave it all to you." ā
An Ao straightened his chest, his face was full of sacredness, and he said fearlessly: "What's the harm in burning your body to save the world?"
After An'ao finished speaking, he leaned into Relos' ear and whispered:
"The more dangerous the place, the more rare the treasures. As a veteran mercenary, I don't need to remind you of this. ā
An'ao looked at Relos and smiled evilly: "If those old guys in Camlando knew that there was a Magister's enchantment here, there would probably be no place for Demon Wings in the adventuring team." On the contrary, I, as the only living priest of Camlando and the nemesis of the undead creatures, I will be greatly welcomed. ā
Relos's originally arrogant smile instantly froze, and what An'ao said was indeed completely correct. I really want to be known to those old guys in Camrando where there will be a possibility of their own team joining. Not to mention that it was just a few great magisters and sword masters who appeared in legends, just those two old guys in Lokamia knew that they would definitely not join forces with the rest.
Relos looked at his partner, and the half-orc Gui'er's eyes were fearless and full of excitement. Like Delis and Lola, they are far more excited about adventure than they are afraid of adventure. On the contrary, it was the strongest Ron and Michaeu who were a little hesitant like Douglas. Douglas, who was able to sense the power of the realm of enchantment, showed his strength to reach the Magus, and even won the respect of Ron and Michaeu. The magicians who have entered the wizard level, even in the Iron and Blood Mercenary Regiment, are only a few people, and Ron has even considered whether to let the head of the group personally lead the team.
But Valen's orc forces had already entered the barrier, and if they retreated without a fight at this time, this was something that Ron and Michau could not do anyway. Ron thought about it for a moment and arranged for one of the thieves in the team to quickly return to the headquarters of the Iron and Blood Mercenary Regiment and inform the Captain of the news of the appearance of the domain enchantment in the Land of Wraiths.
"Let's hope our luck isn't so bad!"
Ron laughed and took the axe and rushed into the barrier first, Mishew smiled at Relos and nodded, and followed. If they retreat without a fight, how can they be an iron-blooded mercenary group?
Relos sighed, took his broadsword, and prepared to enter the Wraithlands. As a mercenary, how can he not dare to do it after accepting the task.
Douglas trembled his beard and shouted in a deep voice: "Boy, you can find death, you can't bring someone else!"
If it weren't for An Ao beside him, the angry old magician would have almost shouted out the words "Her Royal Highness".
Seeing Douglas's attitude, Delis had a little headache, knowing that this time the old magician had decided that he would not budge. But Delis couldn't bear to embarrass Douglas, and for a while, there was a stalemate.
An'ao was not in a hurry, walked slowly to Douglas's side, and whispered a few words.
Douglas was so surprised that he glared at Ann Ao like a ghost, and didn't speak for a while.
An'ao was not in a hurry, so he looked at Douglas calmly.
After a while, the old magician gritted his teeth and asked, "Is what you said true? How can I believe you?"
An Ao nodded: "The god knows everything, and the brilliance is everywhere. The fate has already been set, and we just go to follow the trajectory to complete it. Whether you believe it or not, this is fate. ā
Douglas was silent and sighed, "Okay, I hope what you said is true." No more objections, followed behind Delis.
Both Relos and Delith looked at An'ao with puzzled expressions, unable to believe that he had completely convinced the stubborn old magician with a few simple words. You must know that in previous disputes, Relos has almost become the target of high-level fire magic more than once.
An'ao made a forbidden gesture with his finger on his lips, urging Relos to hurry away and stop grinding.
Relos sneered, reached out and put his arm around An'ao's shoulder, and walked together into the crack in the ground at the entrance, asking in a low voice:
"What did you tell the old guy?"
"The oracle of the Lord. ā
"Tell me about it. ā
"It is impossible, the decree of the Lord of God can only give him the appointed people. ā
"Fart!"
Relos gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about Ann, so he continued to be tormented by endless curiosity.
Once they entered the Land of Wraiths, everyone's feelings were no different from the cracks in the ground they had just seen. A large expanse of damp earth, crumbling stones, and a few gray-white mushrooms, all the scenery was exactly the same as what I had just seen outside. Only Relos and the others clearly knew that after entering, everyone had actually entered an independent space, but almost everyone didn't notice it.
"Don't move, that's a cemetery mushroom. ā
An'ao quickly stopped Lola, who was about to touch the cute little mushroom.
"There's corpse poison, and there's a foul stench when you touch it. ā
Lola frowned in disgust, "Lola is not happy, Lola doesn't like it here." ā
"Let's go. ā
Relos saw the group coming in front of him and beckoned everyone to chase after them. Valen was waiting for them with Ron and Michau with a solemn face, and it was clear that Ron had already told Valen the news of the realm enchantment.
"I underestimated you and didn't give you the respect you deserve for warriors."
The orc warrior's apology is also hard, but being able to do so is already the maximum limit.
Relos smiled and said he didn't care, although Valen's attitude was actually mostly directed at Douglas.
After entering, the land of the wraiths seems to be just in a damp and cold tunnel. It zigzags to the front, and it doesn't know where it ends.
