Chapter Seventy-One: Neroth and the Magical Fountain
The aroma of roasted meat spread through the woods, and the hunter's animal repellent powder around them did not work, and the beasts that came out at night came to their side. The beasts lowered their bodies, careful not to make a sound, their eyes glowing red, their mouths drooling, hunger propelled them forward, and the beastliness added to their strength.
"After eating, start fighting, like we did before. This time it's a big deal again, and the furs of those beasts can be sold for a good price. Be careful not to become a ration for the beast. "Mallowe led the charge, he seemed to know where every beast was hiding, and he commanded every hunter to cooperate.
Instead of worrying or panicking, the hunters were filled with a powerful force in their chests, and courage encouraged them to move forward. This group of hungry forest wolves did not do much harm to them, because with Kane and Ivan in their presence, the strength of these two is not questioned. They used their strength to tell the hunters that the beasts of the mountain range could not threaten them, especially when Maloway accidentally fell into the herd, and Kane slashed four wolves to bring him out.
He was amazed, but quickly reacted, and shouted at Kane and Ivan not to destroy the skins of these wolves, they still need to peel them off and sell them for a good price!
It's really a group of old hunters, always thinking about their prey to be intact. The wolves soon scattered and fled. The hunters happily held up their booty to show off to their companions, and the wolves they killed belonged to them, and whoever killed more would earn more. They began to skin the wolves on the spot, leaving only one intact skin to take home.
The old hunter first thanked Kane for their help, praised them for their strength, and then took the initiative to help them skin the wolf, and can help you sell it together without any charge. Kane, they didn't ask for it, they gave them all these wolf skins. Malloway laughed embarrassedly, but accepted their kindness.
When the hunters had done all this, Malloy, in order to repay them, decided to help them find Neroth's whereabouts in the mountains early tomorrow morning. After two days in the mountains, they had not found a single word about Neroth, and they were only concerned with collecting valuable mountain goods and finding prey nests, and had already forgotten what Kane and the others were going to do.
After a busy night, the hunters began to search the mountains for Nerich's whereabouts, and it was difficult to find clues left by people in the woods, and nothing could be found in the primeval forest except the footprints left by plants and beasts.
Just when everyone searched for a long time and found nothing, Ivan seemed to have found something. He grabbed Kane and said to him, "I seem to have found a trace of Neroth." ”
"What? Do you see anything? But no one found any traces of artificiality. Isn't your ability unusable in this mountain range? ”
"You don't care, just come with me." Ivan took Kane with him, and he made an excuse to separate from the hunters. Before leaving, he described a place to the group of hunters.
"Are you going there? That's not a good place, listen, it's been a monster lately. Everyone gave him a new name, the Demon Lord. If your companions were there, they would not have survived. To put it mildly, maybe you can only get his bones back in that place, if the monster doesn't eat bones. Mallowe said solemnly.
"We've got to go there, maybe Lady Luck will take care of that kid and he'll be reunited with us." Kane said.
"Well, well. We can see that you are not ordinary people, so I will tell you. The place is in a pit on the north side, more than sixty kilometers from here, and I wish you good luck. Mlowe came up and hugged them, and the other hunters said a friendly goodbye to them.
Kane let Arianus act as a vision to take the lead, and Kane and the others caught up behind them.
"Is that place a monster's lair? Can you see that? Kane asked Ivan curiously.
"I don't know, I didn't see the monster in their mouths, I just knew that Nelus was there, and he clearly caught a hint of breath. Everything will be clear by then, and without further ado, let's go. ”
The two of them hurried on their way, and if it weren't for the reshaping of Kane's body by Aruno's body and the blessing of blood magic, he might have to stop and rest for a while. But fortunately, nothing strange happened on the way, and no monsters were encountered, and everything went smoothly to the valley.
Kane saw a white wall, built into the valley like a barrier at the entrance, with several barricades and round, spiky wooden stakes that threatened the safety of every intruder. Particularly impressive are the two wooden stakes placed at the entrance, which are ugly and not frightening, but make people laugh.
However, Kane did not think that these small traps were the main defense against the invaders, and if the occupants were Neros, they were confusing ornaments, and the real threat was what was hidden in the shadows.
"How are we going to get in? These obstacles are deceptive, and if Nelus is inside, there should be many magical mechanisms waiting for us in the shadows. You should be able to see that you're so powerful. ”
"Of course, just come with me." Ivan kicked the barricade directly into the way, and the spikes on it suddenly ejected, and even spewed green venom at the end. Ivan dodged ahead of the box as if he had expected it, and Kane almost got hit.
"Don't you know where his organ is? Why do you have to break in? ”
"It's too troublesome, it's easier to go in directly, and the people inside will come out to receive us soon, isn't it more convenient." Ivan said nonchalantly. Fireballs, lightsabers, golden sword rain, elemental guards, etc., were all triggered by Ivan, but none of them posed a threat to them.
The eaves of the stone house rang with bells, and Nelus hurried out with his staff in hand. Now that he's in trouble, it's not easy for someone to get through the mechanisms he has arranged. He was considering whether to go out to fight, the person who came had this kind of strength, and it was likely that the mage elders with higher positions in the association came. These people also have at least five levels, and there will also be seven levels of high-strength points, and it is impossible for him to deal with so many people alone, and he has made it difficult.
But escaping is not a way, the culprit is not him, it is Talos, maybe as long as he explains it clearly to the people who came, there will be a chance to clear his name. Nefrith decided to take a gamble. When he came outside, he saw only two people, and they didn't look like mages, they were two unfamiliar faces.
"Neroth!" He heard the handsome man call his name and walked towards him excitedly.
"Hey wait! Who are you? He reached out and made a gesture of stopping, and advised the man not to get too close, so that the magic in his hand would not control him.
"I'm Kane! Your friend Kane. ”
"Kane? He doesn't look like you, my friend I remember him looking like. And wasn't he caught by Bailly's bastard? How could it be here. ”
"Then how do you want me to prove it? Is it true that you don't recognize it if you change your appearance, well, I can prove it. That night I said never to hunt against mages, remember? Kane stood still.
"It's really you!" Nehrus rushed up to save Kane. "How did you become like this, you are so much more handsome than before. Like a swinger brother. He patted Kane on the shoulder.
"I'll talk about it later, Kane, I've already helped you find Neroth, is there anything else you need help with?" Ivan asked, looking at the two of them.
"Who is this?" Neroth turned to look at Kane.
"Don't rush yet, we'll finish the rest later. Tririan must die, and we will soon go to him, but we will need to ask Nelus about the latest events. Kane then followed Neroth to his little stone house. They sat in a small, but not shabby room, and talked a lot, starting with the beginning.
"I'm sorry I couldn't keep Rand..... And Arya. Neros bowed his head, blaming himself for failing to protect Rand. Kane certainly doesn't blame him, he's done his best. And Kane was already very touched by his help alone, so why blame him for this.
He knew that Neros was not having a good time either, that he had been framed by his own friends, and that he had now become an evil wizard that everyone spurned. This time they are really enemies on all sides, and the situation is not optimistic, but he originally came for revenge, and these are nothing.
"I'm going to settle accounts with Tririan, do you want to come along? Later, we'll go to Carrot to find your enemy. ”
"I'd love to go with you to kill Tririan, but I have something to do right now. I found an incredible amount of ancient magic here, a magical fountain that appeared in the Iron Tree Mountains, and was protected by a number of elves around him. I need that fountain to increase my magic level and increase my strength, which will be more conducive to our revenge. ”
Ivan was very interested in what Neriches said, "Where did you know this news, is it because of this reason that this place is covered up by magic?" ”
"Looks like that's the reason, do you know the Magic Spirit Spring?"
"I've seen a lot, but that's just the past, this rare treasure is indeed a fatal temptation for mages. However, you can know that it has very powerful creatures around it to protect, and Kane can help. He laughs.
"I'd love to help." Kane responded. In fact, Arunor had secretly told him that the magic spirit spring also had a very high bonus to his blood magic, and he was now a first-level blood mage, and with the assistance of that spirit spring, he could improve several levels. Maybe enough for him to deal with those unknown enemies.
Kane thought to himself, he didn't tell Nelus about his knowledge of blood magic, after all, his blood magic was truly evil. Nelus is a true magician of light, and now he can only take one step at a time.
"Then let's go tonight, I've already roughly figured out the surrounding environment, so I'll know if there are no monsters around me. I've also made a lot of potions that will make things a little easier for us to do next. Neroth laid out several beautiful magic bottles, and sure enough, they all contained magic drugs. He told everyone about the purpose of these things, and there are several potions that increase strength, speed up recovery, detoxification, and magic immunity.
