043 Desperate situation, with willows and flowers
Marika immediately understood that the king really planned to stealthily find a place to tear the Banshee's Howl according to the original plan, so she lowered her head to confirm that she had put on the ring she had obtained from Don - the Banshee's Howl was ignoring the enemy, and they did not dare to tear the scroll until the king left.
Although Cassander noticed that the mage had drunk the invisibility potion, he didn't realize what the mage was going to do, and he probably thought the mage had slipped away.
As usual, while preparing the spell casting materials, he gave an order: "Quick, don't let that person cast a spell!" ”
Mishasha draws her bow and shoots, and if there is no melee on the scene that can touch the caster, then it is the archer's duty to interfere with the casting.
However, the arrow hit the protective barrier directly.
"Protective arrows!"
As soon as Mishasara shouted these words, Marika grabbed her and threw her at Elizabeth's feet.
Marika continued to pick up the dwarf priest who was about to charge, and threw it at Elizabeth's feet as well.
At this moment, Irwin raised the glowing scepter in his hand: "Dragon's Spit!" ”
Fernie also completed the spell at about the same time.
The Shared Protective Energy Enchantment suddenly enveloped creatures that the mage defined as "allies".
Fan-shaped spouts erupted from the scepter's faucet, covering most of the room.
The negotiator had long since ducked to the side, and the spit didn't even rub his beautiful dress.
Elizabeth shouted: "King! Are you okay! ”
The king was invisible, and no one knew where he was or if he had been sprayed with breath. On top of that, because Fernie, the caster of the shared protective enchantment, can't see him, he may not be covered by the enchantment (*).
Because of Fernie's protective barrier, the strong acid dragon breath failed to penetrate everyone's protection.
The enemy between Irwin and the team was not so lucky, as the dragon's breath from behind smeared the back of their heads, and they watched as their scalps melted—literally numb—and their white skulls were exposed.
Everyone fell to the ground and wailed. (*)
When the barbarians and dwarves saw this, they all roared and rushed into Irwin's face.
However, Ervin shouted a series of short words, and a large number of mixed forces of goblins and kobolds rushed in through the door where they had entered, blocking the barbarians and dwarves right in front of them.
Flint howled and tried to clear the way with his shield, but there were too many goblins and kobolds to push even with the strength of the dwarves.
Not only that, but he was pushed back, and the little hands of the goblins and kobolds pulled his beard desperately.
"Don't pull your beard! My beard! Do you know how expensive oil is on your beard! ”
Kellerman, the wanderer of the Duke's squad, roared in rage, and with a surprising skill, stepped on the heads of goblins and kobolds and dashed into the air towards Irwin.
However, Erwin had already made a move: "Fix the human!" ”
Kellerman turned into a sculpture on the goblin's head and took a comical stride.
Irwin raised his hand and smashed the iron bar in his hand at Kellerman—this was the spell casting equipment for this spell, and he obviously didn't have any more immobilized humans in preparation today.
In the midst of the confusion, Marika shouted, "Don't you understand? Draw on me! Don't rush! Draw on me! ”
Because the Drow Elves are not a race known for their loud voices, her shouts are drowned out in the chaotic noise of the environment.
Fernie stood in his place and calmly cast the spell, he took a small paper bag from the spellcasting material bag, and when the paper bag was torn open, a little scale powder fell on the outside, which was the spell casting material of the Fire Wall spell.
As Fernie recited the incantation, Irwin also recited the incantation, and released the scepter from his hand, so that the scepter floated in the air as if it had something to support him.
Erwin's vicious eyes under his hood stared at Elizabeth.
Seeing this, the dwarf threw the hammer in his hand at Irwin, only to slam the hammer into the mage's armor that had already been activated.
Erwin is still casting spells!
Seeing this, the dwarf pressed his shield against the goblins, and pulled out his hand to touch the emblem—
"Death-proof enchantment!" As he shouted, he let his power out, and the whole person was pushed backwards by goblins and kobolds.
He fell right at Elizabeth's feet, and his white hand touched Elizabeth's shoe.
The princess was immediately covered in white light, and in this way, all spells with instantaneous effects lost their meaning to her.
Irvin immediately shifted his target and held out his index finger to Fernie!
Seeing this, Fernie immediately stopped casting the spell, and the whole person dodged to the side!
As Erwin finished the last word, a green light struck the mage.
The mage looked stunned suddenly, and then his body collapsed weakly, and the expression on his face was still frozen at the moment when the green light appeared.
At this time, Cassander also finished casting the spell and threw a piece of carrion at Elwin's feet: "Wall of Swarms!" ”
Mosquitoes and flies from unknown sources swarm out, buzzing within the bounds of the carrion mark, biting everyone who enters the range.
Erwin slammed the text as he spoke, "Grass! That's why I hate druids! ”
The next moment, he activated the spell and appeared directly a few meters away, leaving the range of the swarm.
Catman: "I didn't see the spell casting!" ”
"It could be a trigger! People who know magic are dead one by one, and I don't know where! Cassander looked at Irwin, who had started casting spells again, and shouted to Marika, "Whatever you're going to do, do it!" ”
Marika glanced at the wanderer, who had been overwhelmed by the goblins, wiped the ring that the king had given her, and pronounced the starting words.
So all the people gathered around Marika, along with the goblins and kobolds who had just entered the range, disappeared in a flash of light.
**
A lump of people (and evil creatures) fell together in the square.
The brute reacted quickly, and directly got up and began to open the scoop on the kobolds and goblins.
When these little creatures saw this, their morale immediately collapsed and they dispersed in a hurry.
Marika helped Elizabeth to her feet and helped her dust off her body.
"I'm sorry." Elizabeth whispered, "I can't cast a spell." Without him by my side, I seem to have panicked directly......"
Marika: "Thank you to the dwarves first, you saved a life." But I remember the dwarf, didn't Flint only be able to cast the Three-Ring Magic? ”
Flint got up, "yes, so it's just a normal aid spell, but the visual effect is similar to the anti-death barrier." Obviously, this Erwin is not familiar with the priest's magic skills, if it is our mage brother, he will probably see through it. ”
At the mention of "Little Brother Mage", everyone fell silent.
Elizabeth clutched her hands to her chest and grabbed the skin near her collarbone: "He...... You okay? ”
"He's the howl of a banshee with nine rings." Marika reassured.
Cassander sighed, "It's useless for us to worry, I'm going back to the castle right away and inform the lord." Be careful. ”
With that, Cassander turned into a swallow and flew towards the towers of the inner city, the afternoon sun shining on his beautiful feathers.
Marika and Mishasara, one on the left and the other on the right, supported Elizabeth, who was already unstable.
Catman: "Don't worry, even if he dies, he will be resurrected." And it can also solve the crisis we are facing. ”
Elizabeth cried: "I know...... I know ......."
**
Wanderers Society, Don's office.
Negotiator: "Your Excellency, haven't you seen through the invisibility spell?" ”
"Of course I have. But you see, he didn't tear up the Banshee's Howl scroll before his teammates teleported away, which means he knows that I've prepared a solution to Banshee's Howl! As he spoke, Erwin removed his hood, revealing the headband on his forehead.
"This headband makes me immune to the instant death effect! Your banshee howl is of no use to me! Hahahaha! ”
The next moment, the sound of tearing scrolls sounded.
A sharp whistle sounded as if 10,000 ghosts were rubbing their claws against a steel shield.
All the glassware and pottery in the room shattered in an instant, and the fragments flew apart, as if grenades exploded.
The negotiator's monocle shattered, and the broken glass stuck in his eyeball, but the damage clearly didn't cause him to bleed.
Tang's important cadre, a confidant, fell to his knees like this, and a mouthful of blood sprayed three meters away.
Erwin also fell to the ground, bleeding from the same seven orifices, and the scepter that had been floating beside him also fell to the ground, and the light of the transparent staff head flashed and disappeared.
The room fell silent.
It looks like most of the kobolds and goblins stuck in the tunnels are dead.
In the silence, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.
"It seems that you are not good at learning." It was said.
The High Invisibility Technique will also hide his form in this case.
"I wasn't sure if the Banshee's Howl would be able to kill you because I noticed that you still had a strong magical aura on you. I didn't expect it to be just a defensive and death-defended headband. You reported it yourself. Judging from logic, if you say this proudly, this should be your biggest hole card. ”
Someone trampled on shards of glass on the ground. Apparently the man had approached Irwin, who had fallen to the ground lifeless.
"The Banshee's Howl may seem like a dying spell, but it's actually a kind of sonic magic, and the scream that can be heard, my teacher believes that it is just the creator of the magic who thinks it should be like this. What is really lethal is ultrasound, which is inaudible. (*)”
The man without a trace picked up the scepter that had fallen beside Erwin, and the next moment the transparent dragon head on the head of the scepter emitted an incomparably powerful light.
"Wow, that's awesome." The voice said, "It's actually a real artifact, oh roar roar, is this what my teacher said, the ecstasy of seizing the bully?" Oh no, I've got cramps in my face......"
The next moment, the man holding the staff appeared, and he looked very hideous because of the cramps in his face.
It seems that the high-level invisibility technique can't cover his now complacent figure!
After finally controlling himself, he kicked the dead man on the ground and continued the sermon that had just been broken: "Ultrasound instantly destroys your fragile organs and makes you die violently, just like those glasses."
"Of course you probably don't know what ultrasound is, do you? After all, most of you haven't studied physics. My uncle once said that if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to go all over the world. This seems to be the consensus of a mage from a certain plane. If someone resurrects you with prayer, then you should take care of it. ”
As he spoke, the new owner of the artifact took down the headband that Irwin had just boasted about, and then casually cast a detection magic item.
"It's just two things." The new owner of the staff confiscated his spellcasting kit after making sure that Urwin had no more magical aura on him.
Then he turned his head to look at the other magically illuminated equipment, and after making sure there was nothing good, he walked over and retrieved the warhammer thrown by the dwarf into the dimensional bag, and then handed over the material bag of the mages from Bruce's squad.
After taking the material bag, Wang originally wanted to leave, but suddenly raised his eyebrows, turned around and gently closed the corpse's eyes, and threw the whole thing into the dimensional bag - this is a friendly army after all, although he has only been a teammate for less than half a day.
Time in the dimensional bag is stopped, so there is no fear of corpse deterioration. If it weren't for the fact that the dimensional bag couldn't hold living creatures, he just wanted to try to put Erwin in it, and then get some magma or something like that to put it out.
After continuing to recover the horrific corpses of the wanderer, the king heard a voice in the tunnel leading to the guild. It looks like there's finally someone on the guild's side who has the courage to come this way.
So he held the artifact aloft and spoke out loud the kobold language that the artifact had given him.
Immediately, several kobolds came in trembling.
Wang: "Fuck, that's all that's left?" ”
Upon seeing the blazing light at the top of the artifact, all the kobolds knelt on the ground and shouted, "New Dragon God Emissary!" ”
Just then, a group of guild wanderers burst into the room.
Wang immediately took out the high-grade invisibility potion and drank it.
=====
Because this chapter is a battle chapter, there are many explanations, and the author's words can't be put down. It's just after the chapter.
The caster can't see teammates, so the buff teammates can't eat this. The rules are so, but in fact, they are more flexible in the running group. In CRPG games, it's even simpler, the game defaults to stealth and stealth that don't work on teammates, so what BUFF is still eaten.
When you run a group, it depends on whether the DM has a good relationship with you. Apparently the protagonist ate it, but Elizabeth thought it hadn't.
In addition, what to protect when the common protection energy is cast is specified, here is the mage Fernie who is experienced and judged it.
Furthermore, the protective energy can't completely cancel out the damage of a dragon's breath, and here it is treated as a full offset.
After the strong acid sprays on the wanderers of the guild, they are supposed to continue to stand up in the game if they don't die, but here the severe pain caused by the strong acid corrosion deprives them of their combat effectiveness. It seems a little more reasonable that way.
In short, you understand that the protagonist of the story is a mage, so the spell can get a buff.
The last is the banshee's howl, in fact, whether the anti-death effect can prevent the banshee's howl is really a big deal, and it is estimated that it will take half a day. The main reason for this in this book is that Banshee's Howl is a tenacious and exempt spell, so I have created some of my own work on it. When readers run the group by themselves, please ask DM if you can play like this.
Finally, there is a temporary thought. The scrolls in this book are all torn to take effect, but they need to be identified by using magic items, so only the protagonist Wang, as well as other characters who have been trained as system casters, can tear them, and the princess can't tear the scroll stupidly Baitian.
When DND runs a group, you need to read the scroll out when you use the scroll, but you don't need to read it in this book, and the tearing will take effect. This is to make the action of tearing the scroll different from proper casting.
In fact, this distinction is also what the author is pursuing. For example, the wanderers in this book are all stealth backstabs, and there are no standing and sneak attacks. Rangers tend to shoot arrows, but the Elven Archers who will be added later will also draw double knives. Because the elven archer is Legolas, an alternate space-time isotope, he is favored by DM.
