As the night deepened and the fog thickened, the two mages were relatively silent, leaving their long-time companion with Iris, and for a moment they didn't know where to go.

Ben stood silently, pulled out his staff, and began to cast the spell. After a long and evil spell is completed, something seems to appear in the mist. Andy's eyes widened as he saw a swarm of ghostly rats eerily and silently "swarming" along the ground, slowly approaching.

"What are these?strange undead creatures?" Andy didn't know much about necromancy, he didn't even know that Ben was still a mage who was proficient in necromancy. Although the ghosts summoned by these classes are unlikely to be hostile to him, the instinct of the living is still wary of these strange "rats".

"Don't be nervous. Ban said a little tiredly, the continuous battle also made him emaciated, even after resting for a while, but due to the dangerous environment, he could not carry out deep meditation and sleep, which still made him look unrefreshed: "This is the floating spirit group, I mentioned it to you before." ”

"Floating spirit group?!" Andy seemed to suddenly remember something, "is it the kind of ghost group that is formed when many small animals die together at the same time?"

The plankton group is a collection of ghosts formed by some dead tiny creatures, just like the souls of creatures that stay in the world will become ghosts, in special environments and conditions, many small animals will die in the same fusion, they will stay to form a powerful group of floating spirits, this undead cluster is full of spiritual pain and resentment towards the living.

In general, plankton groups are difficult to form, and once formed, they often cause animal or insect plagues. Later, I don't know which necromancer took advantage of this property to create a spell to create and summon a group of floating spirits, which was a rather off-the-beaten-path spell and a rather dangerous spell. Because the Floating Spirit Swarms will wander and attack any living creatures they come across, it is necessary to maintain a strong will at all times to control them, and even the slightest mistake may even be in danger of being eaten back.

"It is said that the form of the floating spirit group depends on the type of creature in life?" "Andy, after knowing what these weird little things are, simply added a spell to protect himself from evil - these gadgets are too dangerous!" "These little mice look like the ones you killed in the sewers some time ago?"

"There's nothing missing in the sewers, and I don't have a lot of options. Ben nodded, confirming Andy's guess. Ever since he received the assignment from his new employer, he had a bad feeling and Ben felt that he was a little too worried, but his long-standing habits made him decide.

This determination is not easy, and people often say that "the wolf cub is not raised." "In fact, the floating spirit group is really unfamiliar, and we must be vigilant against these things at all times. It is not only necessary to prevent them from attacking the living at will and thus disrupting their master's plans, but especially to keep their own will firm. If they are not careful, they will not hesitate to attack their masters, especially if they are the ones who kill "them" with their own hands, as long as they have the slightest opportunity, they will never let go.

So if given a choice, Ben didn't want to summon these things at all. But there is no way, many times when people talk about the word choice, they don't actually choose. There is often only one correct answer, and the rest are just false guidance and distorted interpretations.

This was the case for Ban, who had not only used up most of his spell slots in the previous successive battles, but was also facing a state of mental depletion. As a last resort, Ban summoned skeleton warriors and archers, which were his secret cards! In so many years in the Iris Mercenary Regiment, no matter how difficult the conditions, no matter how dangerous the situation, Ben has never revealed that he is also proficient in the art of summoning the undead.

Death passed by so many times, and Ban never blinked an eyelid, just focused on doing his job - killing the enemies in front of him with spells, because the warriors of Iris would protect their mages with their lives! Ben believed this, never doubted, and Clifford never let him down.

Thinking of Clifford, Ben felt a wave of powerlessness and melancholy. For so long, Clifford was like a fox, with an astonishing instinct and quick reflexes to danger, and he was always able to avoid dangerous tasks and places, which was another reason why Ben trusted him.

"But this time, you seem to have lost your eyes......" Ben is not surprised that Clifford made the wrong choice to take on such a mission that would lead to the destruction of the group, after all, everyone makes mistakes. It's just that this mistake seems to have no chance to be corrected, and maybe Irise will never see Clifford again, and the rest of Iris will never be seen again, right?

Ben secretly sighed and looked at Andy in front of him. If Clifford is a brother-like presence in his eyes, then Andy is a little brother. The red-haired mage was as frizzy as his hair color, but he was a young man with a simple heart.

When Andy was first brought to Iris by Clifford, he was still a mage apprentice, and there were only a dozen Iris at that time. For more than ten years, Irises has joined many companions, until the peak of more than fifty people, which doesn't sound like much, but this is a surviving companion. Clifford had a list of the dead, and at least four or five hundred! almost ten times as many as the living!

Ban and Andy are also teachers and friends, without Ban's guidance, Andy may never be able to become a full-fledged mage, and his feelings for Ban are not something that can be expressed and summarized by a "trust".

"What now?Ban?" Andy habitually asked, "Where are we going now? This city doesn't seem very safe, shall we get out of the city immediately?"

"No, find a place to stay. Ben replied, "We are tired now, we don't have enough food and money on us, and we need a little time to prepare." The battle underground won't end anytime soon, we still have time. ”

"Oh, of course, then we're safe for the time being. Andy quickly rejoiced - Ben was never wrong in his words, and this time was no exception.

The two of them quietly walked along the alleyway for a while, until they found a place that the class thought was good. It was a small courtyard, and it looked like the master's family had a little property, with servants living in the cottage on the side, and the larger brick and stone houses in the middle and rear for the master's family.

The group of floating spirits quietly infiltrated the courtyard, and soon there was a noise in the house where the servants lived, followed by the master's room. These monsters that challenge level 5 are not something that ordinary people's guards can fight against, as ghostly virtual creatures, they are also immune to most physical attacks, and even professional warriors will have a headache for them.

Andy doesn't question Ban's actions, mercenary is a brutal profession. Many times, in order to increase the probability of survival of one's own people, it is a matter of course to sacrifice others. "Selfishness" is the instinctive reaction of human beings to protect themselves, people may give up their selfishness for those close to them, but for inconsequential strangers, almost everyone's first reaction is to give up on the other party and protect themselves.

The two sat around the fire, the warm light of the fire dispelling the cold of the night. Even necromancers need temperature, and at least until they become lichs, the instincts of the living are still inseparable from fire and food.

In front of him was a variety of foods, fluffy white bread, refined ham and bacon, all kinds of fresh fruits...... There's even a small jar of mead, and the food quickly fills his stomach pouch, and Andy feels like he's alive again.

"Why don't you come a little? Drink a little too much once in a while, it doesn't make a difference. Andy raised his glass and took a long sip of mead. There seemed to be some fruit in it, it tasted so sweet and smelled so good that he felt that the exhaustion of his whole body was dispelled by the drink.

"At least one person must be awake. Ben glanced at the liquor in the glass, the amber liquid with a hint of viscosity, which looked tempting. But it's a pity, "and I still have to look at these ghosts." ”

Ban refers to the group of plankton, these undead creatures instinctively hate flames, and Ban scatters them throughout the courtyard and the rest of the house for guarding. "I don't drink well, because of my constitution, mages are usually like this. ”

With a cup of hot water in his hand, Ben ate bread and bacon on the clear hot water, and he slowly chewed on the thinly sliced meat, "Once drunk...... I don't have to get drunk, as long as I'm a little drunk, I can't guarantee that I can control these little things well. ”

"If I become a lich one day, I don't have to worry about that. Ben's casual explanation seemed to "see" that he would one day become a lich, "At least these little things have little interest in the undead." ”

"You're not going to die, Ben. Andy couldn't help but say that the food and wine in front of him seemed to be less delicious all of a sudden. He grabbed a handful of bacon in hatred and bit it hard in his mouth.

Ben couldn't help but laugh, and although he wasn't the teenager he was more than a decade ago, Andy still occasionally said childish things. "Everyone dies, and the gods are no exception. ”

"That's really a sad conclusion. Andy muttered quietly, and he suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "Who could that mage be before?" ”

Ban turned his head to the side, recalling the previous battle. Flash, Fireball, Greasy, Shield, Mage Armor, these spells are all common spells.

The timing of the flash spell is very ingenious, and I was really caught off guard at that time; the fireball technique is very powerful, as if there is some unique technique, both the power and the range have been increased; the greasy technique, before mastering the spider web technique, is also a common means to deal with skeleton warriors, with the fireball ignition, it can be said that it is a classic textbook-like cooperation; the shield technique is cast very fast; the spell armor, it seems to be an effect attached to the robe, but it can support the archer's steel arrow cluster for so long, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary commodity****** How could there be so many missiles? If I remember correctly, it should be one, two, three...... At that time, the battle was fierce, and Ban thought it was the effect of the staff, but now that he thinks about it, it was clearly a complete spell! But how is this possible? Four missiles, that is the effect of a seventh-level spell!

Oh, by the way, there must be some special trick that doubled the number of missiles, but there were also two missiles, which were also level 3 spells. Level 3 spells, that would require at least level 6 mages, that is, bronze mages, but is this possible? That person doesn't look like he's twenty years old yet!

And that immobilization spell, I don't know what it's called, but it can be instantaneous?! This kind of spell, as long as Ben thinks about it, he can't help but feel a little jealous. Learning this spell is clearly equivalent to an extra life, at least for those pesky thieves, even if they are suddenly approached, they will not only be passively defended!

As for the final construct, Ban didn't care too much, that kind of stupid construct, maybe it was very powerful for other professions, but mages would always have various ways to deal with him. Just like this time, didn't he and Andy succeed in deceiving him?
