Section 15 The Witch's Lair
Any mage who builds a stronghold or position will put a barrier at the entrance to protect himself and serve the purpose of guarding. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This barrier can be a labyrinth, an enchantment, or an invisible magic wall. Like when Alicia went to find Kylloa, she had fallen into an infinite loop of labyrinths he had arranged in the forest, and if it weren't for the marks left by Meluvia, she would have been trapped in one place for days.
Just now, Kyeloa channeled Merusa's magic power to spread a large area of water-type fog to all corners of the mountains, and he did so in order to buff his thunder-type exploratory magic.
In terms of attributes, water and thunder are mutually reinforcing, and with the help of water attributes, the magic of thunder attributes can be enhanced. The silver razer-like thing that Kyeloa scattered out in all directions was actually an inquiry-type electric current. In the dense fog of water properties, the speed and range of the current are greatly enhanced. This way, Kyllloa can find the stronghold of the man in black faster and more efficiently.
Now, all of the Silver Serpents were blocked in front of a transparent prismatic wall, which was clearly a magical barrier set up by the men in black to protect themselves.
Kyeloa didn't stop his quest after finding the entrance, and he used his magic to explore the entire mountain before putting it away.
Zazacha stared at the green ** magic circle under Kelloya's feet, where the light and words were gradually fading, and suddenly shouted:
"Magician. ”
Kyeloa looked back.
"Is it true that as long as you use magic, there will definitely be a magic array like this?" asked Zazacha with a serious expression.
Kyeloa looked at him, thought for a while, and then said:
"Not exactly. ”
Zazacha stared at Kyllloa, waiting for further explanations from him.
"The purpose of the existence of the magic array is to lock the gathered Mana, so that when the magician carries out the reorganization steps, Mana will not run away. ”
"Normally, magic circles will not appear when you cast some magic that can skip the chant, or if the chant is very short. Because when casting those spells, the process of gathering, reorganizing, and releasing the mana is quite tightly linked, and there is no need to specifically lock the gathered mana in place. ”
Zazacha was already a little impatient to listen. He pressed his head in a faint pain, reviewed the strange attack methods of the man in black just now, and said to himself:
"So that guy uses little magic that doesn't need to be chanted, including the snakes that come from the shadows?"
At this time, Alicia ran over and touched Zazacha's forehead with her hand. This sudden move made Zazacha take a step back in fright.
"Zazacha, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you so studious. ”
Zazacha didn't bother to pay attention to her.
The team made their way to the cave that Kyllloa had discovered, and in a few moments they reached their destination in the darkness of the night. I have to say that Kyeloa's illumination is indeed very handy. Walking in the dark night is like having a street lamp to guide you, and you can see the equivalent of ten yards around everyone.
According to Kyllloa, the reason why he didn't use it before was because the spell also made them easy targets in the night, attracting monsters and beasts. The inhabitants of Peramo often go up to the mountains to hunt, so the number of beasts and monsters in this mountain range is not very large.
"Stand back, y'all. Kyeloa said, standing at the entrance to the cave.
Immediately, everyone took a step back.
I saw Kyeloa close his eyes and his mouth vibrate. With that, he pressed his palm to the air in front of him, and the sound of glass shattering could be heard in the air. Diamond-shaped fragments loomed down in the air, and gradually dissolved into nothingness.
Alicia poked her little head out and looked twice into the cave and asked:
"There won't be any danger, will it?"
After speaking, she looked at Mei Lufa, who was standing at the back and looked innocent, and suddenly her expression became not bad and kind.
"Melusa, why don't you go first?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!??"
Meleva was so surprised, probably because she never thought that taking the lead would have anything to do with her.
"Don't bully people...... If you want to go, you'll be the first to go, Captain. Daron said as he looked at Alicia with indifferent eyes.
"Captain?" Alicia was skeptical of the title she had never heard before.
"That's right, we have a team now, and we have to have a name, such as a mercenary group or something, otherwise it will be difficult to act in the future. It doesn't feel good to have so many strange people mingling together, saying that they are travelers or adventurers. ”
"Very good, very good, Daron Aiqing, your suggestion is very good!Then from today, I announce that the Alicia Mercenary Regiment is officially formed," Alicia said happily, and she seemed to like the name very much.
Kelloa looked at the two noisy neurotics, sighed and said:
"It's not me pouring cold water, but can we discuss the matter of the mercenary group later? Anyway, we're at the enemy's doorstep now. ”
"Aren't they just two of us, and it's not easy for us to catch turtles in an urn?" said Alicia, confidently.
"No one said there were only two of them, but the villagers of Peramo said they had only seen two suspicious people. Maybe their accomplices are hiding in this cave, armed with weapons, waiting for us to bring them to the door ourselves. Daron said this, but his attitude seemed to be full of care.
"It's not like that, if they really have so many people hiding inside, that kind of murderous aura will definitely not be able to contain it. Zazacha said.
"Then believe you, but this is really the only place they have in the stronghold, right?" Daron asked, turning to Kyllloa.
"I searched the whole mountain, and everything was normal except for the barrier at the entrance to this cave. I thought they would set up multiple barriers to create fake strongholds, but it seems that I was too worried. Kyloa's calm voice was always so majestic.
"What do you mean?" asked Alicia.
"If they have barriers in multiple places, the caster will sense any of them if they are breached or violated, so they will have more time to escape. Kyleloa analyzed.
"But that doesn't make it inevitable that they'll set traps in the cave. Daron said, drawing his red sword, "Lone Wolf." "I'll take the lead!"
Kyllloa nodded, and Zazacha walked directly to Dalon's side, and the two exchanged glances wordlessly, and then walked in side by side. Zazacha's sensitivity to breath is much stronger than that of Talon, who has been a mercenary for so many years and has a lot of research on things like traps. The two of them walked together at the front of the line, and it was really the strongest shield.
Alicia was stunned for two seconds when she saw the two warriors walking side by side, then poked Melua in the small shoulder, and said in her ear:
"Do you think that the two of them sometimes get along quite well?"
Melua also looked at the backs of the two of them, nodded vigorously, and then snickered with Alicia.
The cave was very deep, and everyone was careful to move forward, led by Talon and Zazacha. In the cave, the scope of Kelloa's illumination was relatively limited, so everyone still took out the lighting crystals prepared in advance and hung them on the metal material on their bodies. Because Zazha Cha is wearing a cloth dress and has good night vision, he still asks not to carry crystals.
Because the space in the cave was very small, everyone had to bend over and move forward, except for the diminutive Melufa.
Daron walked at the forefront, with his broadsword, knocking on the walls, poking at the floor, or slashing at the air in front of him, looking very experienced. But after walking for about half an hour, Alicia's neck and waist were so sore that she couldn't stand it, and she couldn't help but say:
"Can't you go faster?"
"Shhh
"It's too slow, and we're still using bait at this time......"
"Tempting you!" Daron could guess what the girl wanted to do, and he wouldn't suffer a second time after suffering a loss.
At this moment, a palm covered Talon's mouth, and his eyes widened in horror, only to find that the person who shut him up was Zazacha.
"The noisiest person is you!The space in front of you suddenly became empty, I guess it's the end, be careful!"
Everyone raised their vigilance and took up their weapons. They looked ahead and saw that it was a corner, and at the end of the corner there was a faint light shining through, as if someone had lit a torch in it.
Everyone extinguished the illumination crystals in their hands and proceeded cautiously.
Everyone held their breath, the cave was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of water droplets was so clear at the moment.
Alicia made her way around the corner, staring at the light of the fire that reflected in the stone wall. Turning the corner, she didn't know what would greet her ahead. Is it the snake man who attacked Zazacha just now, or the witch who sings a strange ballad?
The firelight shone on the wall, swaying in the wind. Regardless of whether there was anyone in front of them or not, there was not a single movement. Maybe they're resting right now, or maybe they're lying in wait for an opportunity when Kylloa breaks the barrier. Perhaps, turning that corner, a dagger will cut the throat of the first person as fast as possible.
With this bad imagination, Alicia couldn't help but tug on Darron's sleeve. In Darlon's bewildered gaze, Alicia whispered:
"Darron, watch out......"
Daron looked at Alicia, who had all the worries written on her face, smiled and patted the back of her hand, and said:
"Don't worry, Captain!"
Then, Daron looked at Zazacha, who happened to be looking at him at the moment. The two men looked at each other, but did not say a word. After a glance, both of them nodded at each other at the same time, and then rushed out in the next moment.
They roared and rushed around the corner, then ...... There was no sound.
Alicia stared blankly at the corner.
The firelight swayed on the wall, but it seemed to dance with the shadows attached to the wall. In my ears, there seemed to be the sound of demonic laughter.
