The war between Black Rock and the trolls had been going on for two or three months, and Talumia had entered the season of fire, the equivalent of summer on Earth. At this time, the Night Song Forest and the cold winter season are completely different, not only the number of trees in the forest is luxuriant, but all kinds of beasts and even demonic beasts have also begun to haunt frequently.

Xu Yue has been in this world for more than half a year, and he feels that there are more things in this short half a year than he has encountered in the past ten years. Sitting on the beast cart, Xu Yue looked at the completely different scenery on both sides of the road from when he first came, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Seeing Master Xu Yue, you've been through a lot of things recently!" Alex, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile after seeing his expression.

Slightly startled in his heart, Xu Yue smiled indifferently on the surface and said: "It's indeed a bit much, you must know that I have never participated in such a big war before." ”

Alex nodded in understanding and then asked, "Did Master Xu Yue grow up in Chatner? The peculiar customs and habits of life there are always people who want to explore. ”

Xu Yue smiled and said, "I did grow up in Chatterner, but I always lived in a small mountain village until my teacher brought me out of there. In fact, it is not as mysterious as people think. The reason why others feel mysterious about it is just because of different customs and habits. ”

For the Chathner people in this world, who are very similar to the Chinese on the earth, Xu Yue has a detailed understanding of various materials early in the morning. And the result also surprised him unusually.

The Chathner people are a very special race in this world, with the same black-eyed and yellow-skinned appearance as the Chinese on the earth, and some specious living habits and political systems in ancient China, and even some similarities with the ancient Chinese language and writing on the earth.

Chatner is the name given to this race. At the same time, it is also the name of the empire composed of people of this race. The more Xu Yue knew about the country and race, the more he doubted whether this race similar to the Chinese had some special connection with the Chinese on Earth.

He was even able to discern some of the Han costumes and utensils that were characteristic of the Chatner people in the pictures of the Tu Guò. Whether it was a coincidence or some internal connection, even he was not sure.

At first, he suspected that the so-called Chathner people here were most likely ancient Chinese ancestors who came to this world for some unknown reason. And then I lived in this world for a long time and was influenced by the local culture, so it showed the similarities with the ancient Chinese of the earth.

However, if the Chathners had appeared out of nowhere, then at least some relevant information would have been revealed, but after searching through the information of the Magic Guild Branch, I couldn't find anything to support my suspicions. So up to now, whether the people of Chattner have anything to do with the Chinese people on the earth, he is still not sure in his heart.

However, he also had the advantage of finding a lot of information about Chatner, that is, he knew a lot about the habits and customs of the people of Chatner. Although Kenneng's specific circumstances are not clear, it is enough for him not to show obvious flaws when asked by people who don't know Chatner.

As a scholar, albeit a scholar specializing in linguistics, Alex also had a keen interest in other aspects of knowledge. At a time when he thinks the real Chathners are around, this is a good opportunity to learn about the mysterious kingdom and race.

The two of them asked and answered, but they found something to do for the boring journey. But as the conversation progressed. Xu Yue gradually became a little overwhelmed, and his knowledge of Chatner was only known from the books of the Magic Guild, and he did not know the details of the lives of the real Chatners. In many cases, in the face of some inquiries from Alex, he could only be vague.

However, Alex did not suspect him, but thought that it was the habitual reluctance of the Chathners to reveal the habits of their race to outsiders, which is why Chathner would be so mysterious.

Just when Xu Yue felt that what he was saying was likely to be exposed. Suddenly, there was a loud and stiff rush from the front of the line, and the ensuing commotion immediately attracted Alex's attention. Seeing that Alex no longer paid attention to himself, Xu Yue quietly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "I'll go and see what happened?"

After saying that, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out of the beast cart. Alex came back to his senses after hearing his words, and after seeing Xu Yue go out, he shook his head with some regret, thinking that he had missed a good opportunity to learn more about the people of Chatterner.

After getting off the beast cart, Xu Yue saw that the soldiers around him had begun to be on alert, and they surrounded the city with weapons in every battle, firmly protecting the beast cart.

Saw him get out of the car. The squad leader next to the beast cart hurriedly stopped him and said, "Lord Xu Yue, please go back to the carriage, now that the team has encountered an attack, the situation is more dangerous, and Kenneng will have an accident." ”

Xu Yue looked at him and smiled and said, "Don't forget that I'm a magician. And it's a magician who has been on the battlefield. I'm not a civilian without fighting, and you don't have to treat me like a protected person who can't take care of himself in battle. ”

The squad leader then remembered that the magician in front of him was a figure who had made a name for himself in the previous war, and in the legend of the army, this one alone rushed into the troll camp, single-handedly picked the troll supply camp, and then dragged most of the trolls to cover the retreat of the Black Rock City army.

People always have many fantasies about the heroes of war. An otherwise ordinary thing, after many processes by people through their own fantasies, often becomes far from the truth. What's more, the upper echelons of Black Rock City did not disclose the detailed process of Xu Yue's mission due to various concerns.

So after the word spread in the mouths of some people who only knew part of the passing, Xu Yue originally relied on a sneak attack to destroy the troll supply camp, but it became that he relied on his strong strength to break into the troll camp head-on. Then a spell turns the troll's man on his back and burns down the troll's supply camp. Then he relied on the strength of one person to hold back the trolls and cover the retreat of Black Rock City's army.

Although the final result has not changed, the course of events has changed beyond recognition. People always worship heroes, especially the kind of battle heroes who saved them from the catastrophe of war. They don't think about whether the rumor is plausible or whether the rumor is exaggerated. Under intense worship. They are only willing to go into detail about what they want to believe.

So as a result, Xu Yue became a powerful magician in the eyes of most of the people, and saved Black Rock City by himself. Although many sane people scoff at this, the majority of the population still blindly believes it. One of the benefits that this brought to Xu Yue was that his prestige among the people of the lower classes of Black Rock City reached a very high level in a short period of time.

The squad leader in front of him is obviously one of these blind people, albeit as a soldier. He also felt that the rumors were exaggerated. But knowing that what Xu Yue had done had indeed caused the troll's retreat, he still believed that most of the rumors were true.

This couldn't help but make him feel a little embarrassed, although he thought that the figure in front of him who could be an idol in his heart did have strong strength, but his responsibility was to protect Xu Yue, which made him a little conflicted for a while.

"But my lord, we're in charge of your safety!" said the team leader, blushing a little, plucking up his courage.

Look at this warrior in his twenties, even younger than himself. Xu Yue said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just came down to find out the situation, I believe that with Captain Brandt and you loyal warriors, there is no need for me to join the battle." ”

Being praised by his idol, the squad leader's face became even redder, but this time he was excited, and even the waists of the soldiers guarding next to the carriage unconsciously straightened a lot.

Xu Yue saw the reaction of these warriors in front of him. That's when I realized that I had so much influence on them. He had also heard some rumors about him in Black Rock City, but they were just gossip from the people for a while, and he didn't take them to heart. At this time, he realized that he seemed to underestimate his prestige in Black Rock City.

But he quickly put the matter down, turned his head to look at the front of the team, and then asked the captain next to him, "May I ask what happened in front of you, you seem to have said that there was a battle just now, is it a troll?"

The team leader put away the excited expression on his face and said, "It's not a troll, it's a demonic beast, and there seem to be quite a few of them." Captain Brandt had already gone to check it out. Right now, the team in front of them is fighting those monsters. ”

"A large number of demonic beasts?" After listening to the squad leader's words, Xu Yue suddenly heard something, and then he thought quickly for a while and said, "I'll go ahead and take a look." There are some things I want to confirm. ”

"But......," said the squad leader with some eagerness.

Xu Yue waved his hand and interrupted him and said, "It's okay, I'm just looking, and I'm not going to join the fight!"

Seeing Xu Yue's insistence, the team leader nodded helplessly, and then called a soldier to take Xu Yue to the front of the team. His responsibility is to protect the beast cart. Moreover, there is also the main object of protection of the trip, the Arix scholar, speaking of which, Xu Yue is actually one of the people who protect Alex.

When Xu Yue came to the front of the team under the leadership of that soldier, there were many soldiers here who were forming a queue and fighting with a group of demonic beasts. There were more than a dozen demonic beasts, but the battle formation of the soldiers was not chaotic at all.

"Gluttonous Demon Pig!" Xu Yue's heart was shocked when he saw these demonic beasts in front of him, and the scene of the first appearance of the troll altar appeared in his memory. At that time, it was the troll that commanded this monster to attack a small caravan, and he followed the traces to chase it over, and then the troll altar appeared.

After taking a closer look at the Gluttonous Pigs, he looked up and looked around. Now they were on a road in the Nightsong Forest, not the same road he had come from Komodo, of course, but the scenery around them was not much different.

The dense deep forests on both sides of the road and the shrubs on the ground completely obscured the situation in the forest, and he looked carefully for a long time but did not see anything. He looked back and saw that Captain Brandt was standing at the front of the group, so he walked over quickly and whispered a few words to him.

"Captain Brandt, how did these monsters appear. ”

"Master Xu Yue, you're here too. Xu Yue, who was next to Brandt, said politely. After hearing Xu Yue's question. He thought for a moment and said, "These demonic beasts suddenly appeared from the forest next to the road, without any warning beforehand. If it weren't for the quick reaction of the soldiers, I am afraid that they would have been attacked by these beasts. Fortunately, the soldiers who came this time were all elites, and there was no problem in dealing with these brutes. ”

Xu Yue nodded and said, "Have these gluttonous demon pigs been attacking like this after rushing over?"

Brandt also said a little depressed: "Not bad. These brutes don't know what madness is, and as soon as they rush over, they look desperate. There were twenty-one of them in the beginning, and we have killed five of them, but they have not run away, and are still attacking desperately. ”

"Did there often happen to warcraft groups attacking humans on this road before?" asked Xu Yue again.

"I've never heard of anything like this before. Brandt said this, his body shook violently, and then he turned his head and said with some surprise: "You mean to say...... Trolls?"

Xu Yue nodded and said, "Not bad." I've come across a caravan of trolls directing monsters to attack humans before. And the monster commanded by the troll happened to be the gluttonous demon pig. This may be a coincidence, but a first-level demonic beast like the Gluttonous Demon Pig generally wouldn't dare to attack a team as large as ours. And the behavior of these gluttonous demon pigs is also a little strange, if the general gluttonous demon pig herd has too many casualties and can't kill the prey, they will generally retreat according to instinct, but these gluttonous demon pigs are completely dead to the last and do not take a step back. If there is no one behind the command. Their behavior is too much to say. ”

After listening to his words, Brandt squinted his eyes and carefully looked at these gluttonous demon pigs in the battle circle, and now the eyes of these demonic beasts had turned blood red, and they had completely lost their minds. Although the jewel beads have a bad temper, they rarely lose their minds unless they are extremely hungry. The behavior of these Gluttonous Pigs is indeed very abnormal.

"Yes, there is a high probability that these monsters will be manipulated, and the trolls who have just been defeated are the most suspicious. Could it be that there are still small forces of trolls left nearby and unseen, and they are trying to take revenge on us by controlling the demonic beasts?" said Captain Brandt, frowning.

"There is a great possibility that there are trolls controlling these magical beasts. But the reason for attacking us is not necessarily to retaliate against us. Even if the trolls behind these demonic beasts are not in good shape, they know that it is impossible to cause us any harm with these dozen first-level demonic beasts alone. Xu Yue shook his head and said.

"And what do they mean?" thought Brandt, frowning.

"How far is it from the nearest troll altar?" Xu Yue asked suddenly.

Brandt's face changed suddenly, and he looked up and said, "Oops! The trolls are stalling for time, and their purpose is the altar!"

Xu Yue nodded after seeing Brandt understand and said, "It should be like this." These trolls are going to do something to the altar, but now our team has intentions to get close there. So they sent these monsters to harass us and buy time. Oops, then the soldiers guarding those altars would be in danger. ”

Xu Yue nodded and said, "Let's move faster!"

After Brandt nodded, he drew his two-handed greatsword from behind his back, and instantly rushed into the battlefield after a fierce fighting spirit. Originally, the soldiers who came this time were all elites who had retired from the battlefield, and a few of them had even reached the first-level professional level. These gluttonous demon pigs can also rely on each other's cooperation to give these monsters effective damage, but it will take some time to kill all these monsters.

But after Brandt, a warrior at the peak of the fifth level, joined, these gluttonous gluttonous pigs suddenly became dishes on the board. The fifth-level warrior's blessed two-handed greatsword could easily cut these first-level demonic beasts into two pieces, and with a few flashes of sword light, the dozen or so first-level demonic beasts suddenly turned into a pile of mutilated corpses and fell to the ground.

"Toss the corpses of these monsters aside, we're running out of time, notify everyone to speed up. When you get close to the altar, abandon the car and enter the Nightsong Forest. We need to get to the altar as quickly as possible. Brandt ordered solemnly.

After receiving the order, these warriors quickly demonstrated their efficiency, only to see a few warriors quickly throw the corpses of those demonic beasts to the side of the road, and did not look at the materials on those demonic beasts, and then the degree of the entire team doubled. Rush to your destination with all your might.

Xu Yue sat back in the somewhat bumpy beast cart, he and Alex briefly talked about the situation, and the learned scholar also nodded and stopped talking, and the atmosphere became much more solemn for a while.

Along the way, he encountered several waves of different kinds of magical beasts again, which made Brandt confirm his guess. In a hurry. He took a few fourth-level warriors in the team to personally take action, and cleaned up the attacking demonic beasts within the fastest degree, and the team's degree was almost not affected by these demonic beasts.

After arriving at the closest place to the Beast Altar, Alex and Xu Yue had to get out of the beast cart, and then they were about to enter the Nightsong Forest. The dense jungle and shrubs simply don't make it possible for the beasts to get through the guò. Originally, according to the plan, some people should have been left to guard the beast cart, but now the situation has changed. Brandt immediately abandoned the beast cart and quickly entered the forest.

The trees of the Nightsong Forest are undoubtedly the most luxuriant during the fire season, with towering branches and dense canopies almost completely blocking out the sun, and only the sparkling spots of light can penetrate through the lush branches and leaves. The light in the forest was dim, and the constant appearance of shrubs and roots beneath your feet made it difficult to walk.

But the casual fighters are elite. As a native, it's clear that everyone is familiar with this kind of journey through the Nightsong Forest. Therefore, the complex environment of the forest did not cause much trouble for the team. Even Xu Yuexian, even Alex, a scholar, was no slower than the warriors beside him in this environment.

He took a closer look, and saw a very faint, looming aura around Alex's body surrounding his body. If you look closely, this aura turns out to be a literal light and shadow composed of strange powers. Whenever Alex's body was about to touch the plants around him, the branches of those plants magically deflected to the side. Even some insects and snakes on the ground will quickly avoid the side. When his feet stepped on the uneven ground and tree roots, the ground instantly became flat or flush with the surrounding tree roots.

The plants and the earth in the forest seem to be consciously making way for Alex. Let him walk in such a complex environment without being caught by any branches. And even Xu Yue, a second-level magician, relied on the first-level magic of an 'air barrier' to bounce the plant branches close to the side. This spell was only learned by absorbing a few second-level 'inheritance orbs' before leaving. In contrast, he was clearly not as relaxed as Alex in this situation.

After seeing Xu Yue looking at him in surprise, Alex smiled and said, "This is just a small means of rushing by relying on the natural prayers unique to the druids. Since I am not a druid myself, I can only sit down to this kind of prayer if I use these prayers. I can't make the forest my home like the druids did. ”

Xu Yue nodded a little knowingly, he knew that although the scholar profession was not as focused on combat as mages. But in a world with special powers, such as Talumia, knowledge is often tied to power. As a scholar who focuses on knowledge, it is clear that he cannot be the powerless scholarly character of the earth. Many scholars know a lot because they know a lot. So you can use some very strange abilities.

If you want to talk about direct combat effectiveness, maybe scholars can't compare to magicians who are more focused on combat, but if you compare the weirdness and diversity of methods, then most scholars below the same level have passed magicians.

Obviously, Alex himself was a scholar specializing in language and writing. Then his ability is obviously also to use all kinds of magical words and languages. In fact, Tarimia 6 has many magical languages and scripts with the ability to communicate directly, such as the Carthic language used by mages, the Alekan language used by the ancient troll empire Aleka, the nature prayer of the druids, the dragon language used by dragons, the script of the elves, etc., all of which have incredible powers.

As the progress of the entire team accelerated, the distance to the Troll Altar here became closer and closer. And those trolls hiding in the shadows are obviously anxious, and they continue to send demonic beasts to interfere with this team, and the level of demonic beasts has also changed from the original first-level demonic beasts to second-level demonic beasts. This is already a great threat to the ordinary soldiers in the ranks.

In the end, not only Brandt and several high-ranking fighters in the team participated in the battle, but even Xu Yue and Alex also took action. Xu Yue still maintained the true color of the humanoid fort, and waved the staff in his hand. Immediately, a series of fireballs bombarded wildly. Often, the people next to him didn't make any moves, and those demonic beasts were bombarded to pieces by his fireball technique.

However, when the first-level fireball technique is against some second-level demonic beasts with high defense, a single fireball can no longer effectively kill and injure those second-level demonic beasts. Generally, it takes more than three fireballs to attack in a row to kill these monsters. It's not that Xu Yue doesn't want to use a more advanced mage, but because his foundation of magic knowledge is too weak. For now, he only has a handful of first-level magic.

Although there will be one second-level attack spell, but considering that his mental power is to stimulate second-level magic, even if he can use one-tenth of his mental power to stimulate second-level spells by relying on his perverted magic affinity, he can only use more than fifty second-order spells in the number of spells cast.

In terms of saving mana and killing efficiency, it is obviously more cost-effective to use fireball spells against second-level magical beasts than to directly use second-level spells.

The soldiers next to him obviously saw Xu Yue's appearance when he cast spells, after all, Xu Yue had followed Aldrich and others everywhere to save the scene during the war. So they weren't surprised that Xu Yue was able to release the fireball technique so much and so quickly. But Alex, who was next to him, was taken aback after seeing Xu Yue's face still unchanged after releasing hundreds of fireballs, and he looked full of magic power.

However, none of the mages' unique spell-casting skills are secrets that this mage will never reveal to outsiders, so although Alex was curious, he didn't ask.

And Xu Yue was also very curious about Alex's way of shooting. I saw that after Alex encountered those magical beasts, he often just used his light fingers to make out different types of strange words out of thin air one after another. Some of these characters are Carthusian characters that Xu Yue knows, while others can only know which script they belong to but do not know their specific meanings.

These light words once formed. It often forms a variety of bizarre effects. Some can make the body of the monster ignite flames out of thin air, while others can turn into lightning to attack the monster. He even saw that Alex had shouted out strange language a few times when he was writing a sentence composed of several particularly long words, and suddenly the sentences composed of those words turned into a strange fluctuation, instantly enveloping several demonic beasts. Those few demonic beasts stopped in place as if they had suddenly lost power, and the fire of life in their eyes gradually extinguished, and they died inexplicably.

Xu Yue, a magician, felt his scalp tingle when he saw this strange method, and he didn't know if it was replaced by himself. Can you rely on the magic shield to block this strange method? If he guessed correctly, Alex's attack just now was probably directly aimed at the spirit or even the soul, and it was not impossible to achieve the same effect, but it was only a mage who was level three or higher that could learn, but if it was only level three, the effect was not as powerful as that of Alex.

Seeing Xu Yue's somewhat surprised and admiring expression, Alex smiled bitterly again and said, "Master Xu Yue, you don't have to look at me like that. Although these methods of mine may seem to be very lethal, the effect is very obvious. But in fact, when I use this method, I have to prepare the corresponding words with condensed spiritual power in my spiritual sea first. You know that the capacity of the spiritual sea is limited, so there is a limit to the type and number of my means. And although I seem to have access to all kinds of different abilities. But in fact, the mental power required to use this method is far greater than that of magic of the same level, and it is more convenient than your magician's magic source. ”

After listening to Alex's explanation, Xu Yue nodded suddenly in understanding. Although Alex's methods are diverse and powerful, they are also subject to many limitations, and the price they pay is even more than magic. comparatively. The Mage's attack is more direct and less restrictive. In Talumia, the scholar's abilities are more reflected in the ability to protect themselves than in direct combat effectiveness.

Sure enough, after Alex made a few hands, his face obviously showed a tired look, and Xu Yue knew that this was the result of too much mental power consumption. After stopping Alex from continuing to attack, he took out a bottle of 'Intermediate Spiritual Power Restoration Elixir' from his storage ring and handed it to him.

"Please don't make a move. After all, it is the responsibility of those of us who protect you when you fight. Xu Yue said with a smile.

Alex drank the potion in his hand and nodded, he knew that his main task was to translate the words on the altar, and it was better to recover it first, so that he could start his work when he reached his destination.

After an hour of rapid marching and fighting, the whole team finally broke out of the jungle and came to a large clearing. I saw that in the square kilometer of clearing in front of me, an altar that was exactly the same as what Xu Yue had only seen was standing in the center of the clearing.

Maybe it's because they're breaking through too quickly, there are a lot of trolls here who are busy on the altar, many trolls are busy on the altar, they're moving some of the bricks and stones on the altar, and many trolls are removing the top of the altar.

These trolls obviously didn't expect Xu Yue and the others to be able to break through here so quickly, and nearly a hundred or so trolls were stunned when they saw the human army that suddenly appeared.

A tall troll standing on the altar suddenly shouted at the trolls around the altar in the language of trolls, and under his shout, some of the trolls began to desperately dismantle the stone platform on the top of the altar, while the other trolls rushed towards the humans like crazy.

After listening carefully to the words of the leading troll's shout, Alex suddenly turned pale and hurriedly shouted to Xu Yue and the others: "Stop him, he wants to snatch the core of this altar!"
