Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Swamp of Foul Words (13)
The space-time gap connecting the water elemental realm, like opening a small vascular tube in the inner realm, the extremely pure water element rushes into the main material world along the pipe, and after dilution, it quickly expands into pure water with a storage capacity equivalent to that of a small lake, like a mountain torrent pouring down the army that attacked the demon murmur castle.

The dark wizard Trahms almost turned defeat into victory, but when he tore through the gap in space that he had obtained from the demon master in exchange for a large number of living sacrifices, he had just revealed his extraordinary power of sanctification, and in the blink of an eye, he was discovered by the four temple priests, and used the holy relics given by the gods to instantly close the gap.
Even losing the hole cards that could turn the tide of the battle in the end, the dark wizard Trahms fused his soul with the mural in despair, evaded everyone's gaze, and even deceived several high priests to sleep in the castle of Murmur.
"Until I killed him...... Gentlemen, at great risk this time, the quest to explore the Dark Wizard's Castle can be said to have been successfully accomplished, and as for now, I think it's time to enjoy the fruits of victory. ”
The Silver Hand, the powerful adventurer organization of Blackwater, after a series of battles in the Swamp of Foul Words, only four people remained, including the two-gun Kurt, who fled in embarrassment and were disgraced in the noise and smoke caused by the collapse of Murmur Castle, and the loss of so many companions who had been with them day and night could be said to be very bad.
However, the words of "Mage Rez" more or less cheered them up again, especially the well-informed veteran adventurer Kurt, although he did not have the caster's keen sense of smell of the elements, he could still vaguely perceive that in the depths of the ruined castle, very fresh air was blowing continuously, like an invisible hand, gently brushing away the unhappiness of body and mind.
"Wonderful, then let's go immediately with the honorable Lord Reze to see the fruits of victory. ”
The other three adventurers glanced at each other, and the more senior Hook slowly got up, motioned to his companion with his eyes to follow, and then staggered through the ruins of the rugged castle with a slow pace.
Lu Bin smiled disapprerovingly, and secretly opened the disguised book of the traveling mage, he didn't know what was waiting in front of him, but he knew that it would definitely be beneficial.
Sometimes, people are just that simple, even if there is a certain risk, as long as there is a advantage to take advantage of, they will not hesitate to take advantage of it.
He walked through the ruins of the main castle building, which had completely collapsed, and looked around and found nothing of value, not even fragments of gargoyle statues.
The more Lu Bin walked forward, the more he could feel a refreshing coolness, different from the cold of late autumn, this is a feeling that soaks the body and mind, and it is definitely not a superficial feeling of changing seasons.
Not knowing what was waiting ahead, he paid attention to his surroundings, and the professional eye of the architect had already "planned" several safe retreats in the ruins.
"If there are hostile elemental lifeforms, a few can still be dealt with, and if a large group of water elementals rush up, even I can only leave as soon as possible, then it is essential to reserve a way out. ”
Lu Bin's heart was even already thinking about how to use the terrain to evade the attack methods of the enemy who might be pursuing when he would follow the road smoothly.
"Well, the remains of this two-person tall wall pillar are very good, and you can temporarily stay and recuperate. The almost intact loft, despite being sloping to the ground, has plenty of support points and should be a good place to stay......"
He went through a series of battles in the Elondelle offensive and defensive battles and the Filthy Swamp, and quickly grew from an amateur rookie to a qualified warrior.
Lu Bin walked forward and backward, and at the same time secretly planned a retreat that might not be needed, "Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: if you don't expect to win, you will lose first, and you will keep to the slightest, so you will be indomitable and succeed in the end." Unexpectedly, I also tasted a little bit today. ”
A hard-working architectural designer can transform into a qualified warrior in just a few days after crossing over, completely forced out by the dangerous reality.
Of course, some of them were caused by his own guilt, and he even accepted the inheritance of the guardians of Elondale on the spot. Taking over this mess, even though it is a high-performing stock with good potential, is a big burden after all.
So much so that after completing the expedition to the Whispering Swamp Murmur Castle, he was already tired and half dead, and he wanted to lie down and rest and never get up again, but he had to get up and continue to act in order to develop in the future.
The murmuring sound of the mountain stream became louder and louder as Lu Bin and the others approached, and the surrounding area was filled with damp water vapor, and the aftermath of the smoke and dust rolled up to the vicinity, and it would turn into mud spots on its own and continue to fall, so that the dry ground soon became a little muddy.
Lu Bin couldn't see the ground clearly, so he had to lower his head and look carefully, and when he turned around the corner of a natural wall formed by the ruins of a castle, the thick water vapor rushed towards him, and his spirit couldn't help but be uplifted.
He jerked his head up and saw that in the courtyard of the original castle main building, there was a statue of a woman as tall as an ordinary person, and the material was as warm as jade.
The statue is as soft as water, the eyebrows are lifelike, the fitted cardigan is extremely clear, and she carries a terracotta amphora with a thin neck on her right shoulder, which continuously pours clear spring water, like the legendary endless wine cup Khandalus.
Lu Bin's eyes were straight, and he thought to himself: "It's like a living person, it's really perfect." ”
Kurt and the others, who followed one after another, found that there was a water source, and couldn't help cheering, walked forward quickly, and washed the mud and dust off their faces with a clear spring in their hands.
The bold Hook even took off his dusty clothes and threw them into a small pool of water at the foot of the statue, rinsed them off and wrung out the excess water, and wore them directly on his body.
When Lu Bin saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head, but he didn't say anything, thinking that business was important, so he circled around the statue. However, after three consecutive laps, he didn't find anything abnormal at all, and even the deep and bottomless space gap he expected.
The veteran adventurer Kurt noticed the unusual behavior of "Rez", and did not understand what he was looking for, so he reached out to the mage and went over to wash the dust on his body.
Lu Bin also felt uncomfortable all over his body, so he didn't refuse to step forward, the small pond at the foot of the statue, the turbid water made by the adventurers, due to the continuous replenishment of the clear spring, quickly returned to the clarity just now.
He picked up a handful of water with both hands to wash his face, and his thirsty throat was about to smoke, and after a few sips of water, it immediately recovered.
Perhaps it was a rare relaxation, Lu Bin was tortured by the piercing demon's murmur, turned into a messy brain, and regained his previous awakening again.
Lu Bin looked at the undulating pool surface, and the figure of the female statue holding the bottle kept twisting and moving, and suddenly realized what he had made and missed.
"Spatial gaps cannot be simply understood in the literal sense, they are not necessarily cracks in the two-dimensional plane, but may also be ring-shaped pipes or even irregular three-dimensional spheres. ”
So, he immediately straightened up and shifted his gaze to the statue of a woman holding a bottle, the amphora that flowed from the spring water was the most suspicious.
"But just now I felt normal, and there was no hesitation...... Could it be that I have seen too many modern urban electric fountains in the past, so that I have invisibly equated them with them. ”
Lu Bin couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pat his head, looking up at the sky speechlessly, "I really shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake." ”
However, his movements were a little slower, and some of the adventurers were smart, at least the leader of the team, Kurt, had already understood the extraordinary nature of the statue.
However, he didn't rush to reach out, but asked his partner to come forward to test it, and even gave away the loot demonized weapon he picked up for this purpose, and encouraged Hook, who was scrapped with the sword, to give it a try.
Kurt handed his booty to his companion with the scabbard, and Hook immediately threw away his dying sword, eager to reach out and grasp the hilt of the sword, and extract the blood-colored demonic weapon from the cowhide scabbard.
At this moment, Hook immediately felt a cold gaze from the female statue holding a water bottle, like the slaughter of autumn blowing away the withered yellow leaves.
"I ......"
The amphora clay pot that flows out of the gurgling spring suddenly erupts like a waterfall-like torrent, and the ground is like a crystal clear cotton fabric.
Lu Bin saw that the torrent that rushed into the small pond did not disappear, but actually rebounded and jumped up, turned into a knife like a practice, and quickly went around Hook's neck, he immediately realized that it was not good, and wanted to open his mouth to warn.
Unexpectedly, the bright red blood light suddenly appeared, and a life inadvertently disappeared, as for the demonic weapon in Hook's hand, it faded away in a blink of an eye under the flushing of the spring water, revealing the original essence of the blade.
It wasn't until Hook's headless corpse crashed to the ground that the three adventurers reacted, but it was too late to say or do anything.
Kurt didn't expect this to turn out like this, and when he bent down to pick up the body of his dead companion, he was pushed away by two large hands.
He was about to say something to explain what he had just done, but Kurt had lost that opportunity forever. The skull sword he carried with him, due to the aura of the dark wizard Trahms, was immediately targeted by the guardian statue as a potential vandal.
With a "bang", the amphora clay pot erupted again with a magical torrent, turning into a water blade like a trainer, and the momentum was about to put it to death.
