"Report to the captain, in the end, I didn't find a fork that could pass. "The wayfinder kobold came to report.

"Got it. The former leader of the 19th Sharp-toothed Kobold tribe turned his head and shouted, "It's over, there's no way, everyone go back." ”

"Go back. "Go back. ”......

The captains in the back shouted one after another, passing the news all the way to the leaders.

At the end of the team, No. 16, the former Sharp-Clawed Kobold Tribe Chief Pachpala, immediately skillfully commanded his subordinates to change from the rear team to the front team and turn forward. Returning to an earlier fork, Pache Para 16 looked at the marker at the mouth of the cave and told everyone to walk from there, ordering the kobold scouts to quickly explore their way forward while the communications troop reported back to their master.

"Report to the owner, Captain 16 said, advance along Cave 404. ”

"Got it. Sermena added two strokes to her self-drawn map, marking the bottom of tunnel 392, which had just been discovered, and drew a circle with a pencil on tunnel number 404.

This kind of thing, just by looking at the tunnel marking, you know that everyone must have encountered it many times and has long been used to it. For a long time, the Sanzang armed merchant group has been like this, picking a tunnel all the way forward, and sending someone to go in to explore the fork found on the way for one or two hundred meters. When the tunnel you are walking on is also at the bottom, mark it, and then turn back to the nearest numbered tunnel and continue walking.

Sermena yawned and glanced at Mike, who was meditating on a simple floating bed pulled forward by goblins, and Cecilia pillowed his legs, unconcerned whether he was sleeping or practicing beauty techniques.

'It's been so long since I've been underground, four months or five months, and I've been wandering around this underground labyrinth, it's so boring. This self-drawn map is twenty pages long, and although it is okay to use it at the moment, it should be impossible to walk back with it because it uses magic to open up temporary passages from time to time. Mike's brother didn't know what to think, he had to continue to run around, and he wouldn't take everyone back in advance anyway, wouldn't he be bored, didn't he want to meet his daughter who was born not long ago? Wukong also looked like he didn't care, and it seemed that he could get a lot of fun from instructing those kobolds in martial arts. Sissi is also content with the status quo where she can get along with Mike. Even Thrall, who had always been idle, began to hibernate. Forget it, I'll continue to learn druid spells too......"

The reason why everyone was able to continue to wander through the intricate underground labyrinth calmly when they were almost lost, was entirely because of the results of a meeting that had happened many years ago.

"Trust me, yes, we'll find the Dark Elf city we're looking for. Mike patted his chest again, but everyone seemed to be completely disbelieving him.

"Brother Mike, wise I think we should take Sermena's advice and go back. Even Sal, who has always supported Mike, turned against him because he had been outrageously long this time.

"The last step of the long march is only one step, how can we give up at this time!" Mike shouted.

"Mike, people don't want to live underground for the rest of their lives...... Cecilia's little face turned red, and she bravely expressed her opinion in the meeting for the first time, she also participated in it before but never spoke, "It's been more than three months, and I haven't found out that the dark elf city you mentioned is only the goblin kobold tribe." ”

"Sissi, please believe me for a while, three months, three months at most, and it's about the same time to go back. Mike's tone was very gentle to Cecilia, "If you still don't find anything at that time, I'll take everyone back to Sanzang Town." ”

"Teleporting from the underground, Brother Mike, you're crazy. "Of course, Sermena knew that Mike could teleport, but before he came, Master Zevahid had specifically emphasized that because the leyline radiation throughout the underground world would seriously interfere with teleportation, as long as it involved the underground, teleportation would become extremely dangerous, and perhaps an extremely powerful mage would have the ability to overcome obstacles, but at least he didn't have the ability. In Semena's mind, Mike's level is far worse than that of Master Zewahid, not to mention safe teleportation.

"Sermena, you can doubt my abilities, but you can't doubt my love for Sissi! Mike's expression was serious and his tone was serious, "I know a magic circle that can help me return safely, as long as I use it to transit, we can go back at any time." ”

Mike's expression turned sad, "It's just that with my current ability, I can't teleport back." No matter how much I try to figure it out, I can't take everyone away at once, and everyone else ......."

Sermena suddenly realized, no wonder Mike had been calm, it turned out that he could go back at any time. Then I wondered, this kind of non-restriction on the user's starting position should be the connection circle, which can make people safely teleport from the surface to the surface is already very high-end, not to mention those that can safely teleport back to the surface from the underground. To be eligible for this kind of thing, it seems that Mike's brother is indeed a direct descendant of some ancient and powerful warlock family.

Wukong is very calm: with Aowo's ability, it is not uncommon to have several leading circles, plus Mike is originally a dark elf living in the underground world, so there is no need to worry about it at all. Anyway, his mission is just to follow Mike, and as for where Mike wants to go, it's all the same for Goku.

"I discovered the circle by accident, in a pre-cataclysmic ruin, and is my secret stronghold. The omnipotent traverser felt that the "relics left before the cataclysm" was really a very good excuse, no matter what he had that he shouldn't have, as long as he pushed it up, Sermena and the others had a look of sudden realization, which was too convenient.

"Mike, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disbelieved you. Cecilia's eyes moistened.

"No, Sissi, it's all my fault, I didn't tell you in advance, so I worried you in vain. I just don't want you to grieve for not being able to take everyone with you. Mike hugged Cecilia tightly. After a lot of practice, Mike's skill level in this area can be described as growing by leaps and bounds.

"Brother Mike, I have always believed that we can find the Dark Elf city we want and make a friendly trade agreement with them. Sermena, you should also be confident that you can't back down at the slightest difficulty. Knowing that he could go back at any time, Sal's confidence came back to him.

Sermena pursed her lips and ignored Sal, she knew too well what kind of virtue Sal was, and she knew too well what Mike had in mind, she only hated that she had been fooled at the beginning, and wanted to see the magical and mysterious exotic customs of the underground world.

That's bullshit!

Troubadours can't be trusted......

The effect on teleportation is manifested in two ways: first, it makes it difficult for the caster to lock the waypoint, and it must be corrected by real-time calculation with extraordinary spell recognition skills, which few people can do on their own, and second, it makes the teleportation already locked, so even after locking the waypoint, the buried radiation will still teleport and distort the fact that almost no one knows about it

Mike said that he was right to return to the surface with the help of the circle, but he was not referring to the guidance circle that Sermena imagined would be able to locate and reduce, but the positioning circle that only had the positioning function.

Leyline radiation makes it difficult for the caster to lock onto the waypoint, and must be corrected on the fly with extraordinary spell recognition skills, which few people can do on their own. The positioning circle greatly simplifies the correction calculations, allowing the teleporter to get a reliable landing point, but the survivors who try it first are shocked to find that even after locking the waypoint, the buried radiation will still teleport and distort. The Channeling Circle is said to help the Teleporter overcome the teleportation distortion, but the specifics are almost unclear.

If the caster wants to overcome the teleportation distortion with their abilities, they must violently penetrate the leyline radiation. This requires his caster level to be high enough and good enough to cast the spell.

Neither is a problem for the all-powerful traverser.

The caster's level is limited by the caster's skill and energy concentration, and is affected by various natural or man-made environmental factors such as the leyline node mage tower. Considering the caster alone, basically everyone's bottleneck is convergence. There are many ways to temporarily improve the degree of energy gathering, and the red robe ring method and the construction of a one-time magic circle are two typical methods. It's just that normally speaking, no matter how hard you practice spellcasting skills, it is impossible to be much higher than the existing caster level, and to a certain extent, spellcasting skills may no longer be able to practice, which is the same as countless players but only one has practiced Messi.

But Mike is not an ordinary person, he is a person who has the complete memory of the Grand Arcanist, and he has taken this aspect very seriously from the beginning, and his spell-casting skills are far beyond his own level, and he is close to the Grand Arcanist Owo. He had made a special trip back to the Tomb of the Living Dead to verify it before, and if it was all on his own, the mage caster level was 10. Although it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Grand Arcanist Owo, the Grand Arcanist's vision is so high that even in the magical powerhouse Torre, there are definitely no more than a thousand mages who can reach this level. If you rely on the energy core to provide enough energy gathering support, Mike's caster level can rush to 30, and the number of strong people of this level will not exceed 20 if you add a well-known master hidden figure in the main plane, which is definitely shocking. It is precisely because of such a huge improvement that Mike wants to learn the Red Robe Ring Method.

Of course, Mike has only learned to participate in the Tour of Law now, and he can't lead the Tour Law yet, and he can't ring the Law even as a mage here. However, he can build a temporary magic circle, and the materials are red crystal pearls and magic crystal powder, and those brought by the mercenary group will not be a problem to use once or twice. In addition, Mike, a noble mage who is already relatively proficient in construction techniques, can also construct a magic circle with pure energy, but the improvement degree is only 2, which is still a little far from the expected value of 20.

There are many factors that affect the performance of spellcasting, and the method of being able to perform "better" or even "best" again and again has not yet been studied, at least not as far as Owo knows, but if you just want to behave "normal" every time, there is a technique called arcane mastery that can be done, and the omnipotent traverser has now learned.

However, this "spell casting performance" has no effect on the effect of the spell, and is only related to the success of the direct spell confrontation, that is, to dispel the magic or counter the spell, or to violently penetrate the spell to resist the leyline radiation, etc., and the use of protective flames to resist the bombardment of fireballs or the use of fireballs to counter fireballs does not belong to this category. Therefore, the Arcane Mastery is also practical when it is said to be practical, and it is not practical to say that it is not practical, and only the mages who think they have a great future will make great efforts to practice this trick.

Along the way, Mike has been secretly analyzing the radiation intensity of the leylines, and with their current position, the caster's level 28 plus arcane mastery can penetrate with a 100% probability, so there is no need to worry at all. By the way, Mike's search for the Dark Elves is also based on this. They like to live in the so-called "middle underground" five to fifteen kilometers underground, where it is easy to obtain living materials, and there is also enough strong leyline radiation to exploit, and the caster level of piercing it with arcane mastery should be around 28.
