It had been a while since the battle ended, Tang Mo had chosen a hidden place to rest and recover his spiritual magic, and the bronze giant snake dutifully guarded it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The smell of the sewers was not good, the smell of expired food, rotten feces, small animal carcasses, and so on was disgusting, and now there was the smell of blood on the corpses of iris mercenaries and the rancid smell of the undead, no matter how you look at it, it was a desperately hellish environment. So although he felt a little hungry, Tang Mo didn't have the slightest appetite, and now he didn't have the ability to sit in the dung pit and eat.

While holding the magic core to restore the magic power, he quietly recalled the previous battle process. Tang Mo found himself making a big mistake - undead creatures didn't need light to instinctively detect the breath of living beings, and his strong fire of life was as clearly visible in front of the skeleton soldiers as a torch in the night.

In a state of nervousness, he had made such a common-sense mistake! Tang Mo patted his head in annoyance, necromancer is really a cheating profession, unless the level suppression is too great, it is difficult for the living to lurk in front of them, even thieves are difficult to do!

In this way, the white-haired mage discovered himself at the beginning, what was the name of that man? In the coma, another person seemed to call him "Ben"? and the red-haired "Andy". These two bastards discovered themselves in the first place, and they don't know by what means they found the bronze giant snake, and they know that they can't resist it?

Ban may have been caught off guard by the flash spell, but he pretended that he had never regained his vision, and kept the pressure on him through the skeleton soldiers, hoping to attract the attention of the bronze serpent to Ban. As soon as the giant snake leaves, Andy, who is hiding on the side, can control Tang Mo's mind through hypnosis, so that the giant snake can give up its attacking behavior, so that they can escape from the sewer smoothly.

The plan was perfect, Tang Mo thought angrily, he couldn't help but blame himself for his carelessness, he had known that in this way, he should have released the last bronze giant snake in the storage ring! Then the two mages' plan could not succeed at all, because the last loophole was filled.

Tang Mo felt that he was like the villain boss in the novel game, and he thought that he could crush the opponent, but he didn't know that he had revealed a big flaw, so that he was used by the decent or the player to use the boss's own carelessness to successfully turn the tables!

This lesson is really profound enough, if it weren't for the giant snake guard, under the attack of the two mages, Tang Mo would have been completely defeated. This made him firm in the idea of speeding up the promotion and becoming strong as soon as possible, as long as he has enough strength, any plan will be pale and powerless!

After thinking about it, Tang Mo felt that the next journey would probably not be so smooth, so he released another giant snake from the ring, and under their protection, continued to set off into the depths.

..................................................................

As the sun sets and soon disappears behind the horizon, the night engulfs the last rays of light, and the city of Deathknell ushers in another night.

Death Knell is bordered by the Bone Swamp to the south, and as the last line of defense in the northern part of Youtan, this is the place where the Ansara coalition forces must pass if they want to enter the hinterland of Youtan. For tens of thousands of years, the coalition forces and Youtan have experienced countless battles here, and in the vast swamps of this area, I don't know how many rotting corpses and white bones have piled up under this silt and stinking water.

The smell of death permeated the swamp, and a thick yellow fog enveloped the entire swamp and could not be dispersed, and there was a tendency to spread around, especially to the north of Deathknell City. Over the years, though, the yellow fog brought by the swamp has remained outside the city, and a clear line can be seen on the southern walls of Deathknell.

This side of the border, like the rest of the Scarlet Plains, was nothing special except for the red vegetation and the slight smell of blood in the air. On the other side of the line, the line of sight could only reach a dozen meters away, and the farther part was blocked by fog, and from time to time there were strange sounds of undead activity, which were lost in the fog and swamps, and perhaps continued the battle that they had not completed in their lives.

These undead creatures never crossed the border, and they haven't been for 10,000 years. However, the situation has been a bit strange lately, and there are often scattered skeletons and zombies crossing the border, as if some restraint has been broken. During the day, things are better, and at night, there are always undead who have slipped in and wandered around the city, and occasionally ghouls and abominations.

This can't blame the guards for not being responsible, although Knell City doesn't treat the undead very well, but it is also a part of Youtan, and there will be traces of necromancers and undead creatures in the city from time to time, which is a very normal phenomenon. The undead wouldn't be here for long anyway, and everyone was used to it, but anyway, it was too much to hate wandering the streets in the middle of the night, and the sheriff had to take someone to solve the problem. As for the rest of the little things, no one bothered to pay attention to them, but despite this, these wild undead still have a certain danger. The sheriff reminded the residents of the city to pay attention to themselves, and it was okay to go out less at night, and these undead would naturally leave during the day.

In a remote alleyway, the manhole cover of a sewer was removed from the ground, and after a while, a white-haired head appeared where the manhole cover was removed, and he looked left and right vigilantly and climbed up. A red-haired figure came up closely, and these two people were none other than the mage class and Andy who had fled the battlefield.

The surroundings were quiet, there was no figure and no ambush, and the two let out a long breath. This mission was really full of twists and turns, from Ansara all the way to being chased by the Inquisition, and finally arrived in Death Knell City, I thought I had completed the mission, but I didn't expect to be attacked by assassins.

Under the coercion and lure of the Assassins, the whole team entered the sewers of Deathknell City, and Clifford said that the new employer was going to find a ruin?

In a place like the ruins, although it is said that it is dangerous and the potential benefits are also great, but with these thieves, the two of them do not feel that they can get any additional gains. Even if something particularly valuable is found, can it still get a piece of the pie from the thieves?

It turns out that it's not killing people but being cannon fodder, and the new employer has sent the Iris mercenaries on a mission to cut off the guard, which should have been a relatively safe option, at least safer than exploring the unknown ruins ahead, but the idea is obviously too naïve.

The Cleveland family's aristocratic private army crashed headlong into the Iris cordon zone, and the Iris mercenaries, who were tasked with the rearguard, dutifully tried to complete the mission, as they had done countless times before.

Iris is a small mercenary group, small and elite, it is very strong in front of a mercenary group of the same level, if it is not too small in number, they can become stronger. But the berserk City Lord Guards were unlike any enemy they had ever faced before, and both sides were completely different from each other, whether it was numbers, strength, or desire to fight.

Soon after the battle began, Konstantin's guards routed the front of the Iris, and a constant escape and chase followed. Clifford sent someone to the Assassin leader Melantha My Neighbor Totoro early to deliver the news, but there was no news, so he was forced to grit his teeth and insist. Soon, it was discovered that as long as they did not block the direction of the noble army, they could escape relatively easily without being chased and killed. Knowing this, the mercenaries scattered and fled, including Ben and Andy, and as for those who refused to flee, the end was already doomed, although they were brave, but they were stupid, and a wise mage would not make such a foolish decision.

No one can stop mages who are bent on escaping, mages always have all kinds of strange tricks to deal with various situations, and this level 1 spell is very suitable for now! This spell can greatly increase the travel speed, which is very useful for mages who are not very agile. The jumping technique is also very good, it can make people jump higher, jump farther, and jump directly over some small obstacles. The two used spells flexibly, and soon left the battlefield until they met Tang Mo.

Ben and Andy leaned against a corner and sat on the ground without any regard for their image. At some point, a thin layer of fog rose, and the buildings in the distance slowly became a little blurry. Occasionally, a pedestrian or two passes by the alley, and as the night gets darker, it becomes quieter and quieter. The fog grew heavier and heavier, and even the silhouettes of nearby houses were lost in the damp fog. The two of them seemed to be cut off by a fog, and only the walls behind them and each other's presence reminded them that they were still in the city of Deathknell.

There was a faint light of light from the depths of the fog, this was the light of the nearby residents' houses, they must be roasting in the warm house, carefree with their families, right? Andy suddenly felt a little envious, he was already far away from home, and the time, I can't remember clearly. Since when did you become wandering in a fixed place?

I still remember that time, one day a man in a robe and a hat came to the town. The people in the town say that this is a mage. That is indeed a mage, because he is like those legendary mysterious people, with incredible powers. Andy saw him as if he were playing, knocking down a group of big men who didn't open their eyes. Those people were fierce and tight, all of them were strong and strong, although they were only wearing light leather armor, but the swords in their hands could not be faked, Andy asked himself if it was himself, as long as he looked at him, he would be chopped into firewood.

But in front of the mysterious mage, he just recited a few incantations, and suddenly all of them were immobile, and then he drew a long stick and beat them with a blue nose and swollen face. At that time, Andy suddenly discovered that he could be very powerful without having muscle bumps all over his body.

Andy was not wealthy since he was a child, and he was not a character who liked to pick up his arms at every turn, compared to reading, which was one of his rare hobbies. There are a lot of interesting things and places in the book, and he has always wanted to travel around the world and see them. However, money is a big constraint, and more realistically, many times it is not safe outside, and even Ansara cannot avoid the presence of robbers in the wild.

Andy was lucky, it happened that the old mage was in a good mood, and his talent was quite good, so he naturally became the old mage's disciple. The old mage lived in the town for a few years, during which time Andy learned a lot about mages and became an apprentice.

However, when people gather, some people dispersed, and the old mage only stayed in the town temporarily, and finally one day he was leaving. Because he is old and has no hope of advancement, the old mage hopes to return to his hometown until he dies there.

Before leaving, the old mage gave Andy his precious magic books and notes, he was only a beginner mage, his qualifications were not too good, and it was difficult to be promoted to the middle level after so many years of hard work, not to mention that it required a lot of money and resources, as a wandering mage, this is the price of freedom.

"Andy," the old mage admonished, "the path of a mage is too difficult, not only to have extraordinary wisdom, great wealth, rare opportunities, but finally some luck. ”

"You're smarter than most, but you're not particularly prominent among mages. You happened to meet me that day, and it happened that I was willing to accept an apprentice, this is your chance, but your luck is not too good, I am only a junior mage. Although it is already high and out of reach for ordinary people, among mages, I can only be regarded as a beginner. ”

The old mage said to Andy with regret, "I'm too old to go further on the path of a mage, and I don't have any savings, all I can help you with are these books and notes." ”

Andy took the magic book and notes, felt that his nose was a little sour, and he comforted: "Teacher, don't be too sad, it's not your fault." Without your guidance, I would never have become a mage, and I am forever grateful and respected to you. I'm not an official mage yet, but I promise that one day, I will become an official mage standing in front of you, and maybe one day, I will become an archmage!"

The old mage laughed, and whenever this stunned apprentice comforted people, he always made him laugh, "You are smarter than me, maybe one day you can really become an archmage, I am looking forward to that day." ”

He thought about it for a while, and then said to Andy, "Since you have this kind of ideal, let's think about how to make money first, money can't bring everything, but it can solve most of the problems on the path of cultivation." As for those that can't be bought, such as spell knowledge, rare potions, and promotion circles...... Only those large mage organizations or long-established nobles can provide it, but once you join, it is not easy to quit, whether you want to exchange freedom for it, you have to think carefully. ”

......

The old mage finally left, alone and without any concern. Andy promised to visit him someday, and although both of them understood that it was probably just a luxury, neither mentioned it, as if this day would really exist.

Later Andy meets Ben, meets Clifford, and joins the Iris Mercenary Regiment. Ben was already able to cast level 2 spells at that time, and he gave Andy a lot of help. After more than ten years, Andy finally became an official mage, but to this day, he is only a level 2 mage and cannot cast level 2 spells.

"When will I be able to get to level 3, so I can learn level 2 spells as well. Andy sat in the corner and suddenly felt a little cold on his body, "Maybe it's like this for the rest of my life, right? Archmage, that's really an unattainable dream! Should I go home and see, or should I go and see the teacher?"

Andy thought about it and thought about it, and this sudden thought became even stronger, "Maybe I'm already old?" he smiled bitterly in his heart, "I heard that people are easy to be homesick when they are old, but I am not yet 30 years old." Well, then go back, it's decided!"
