mage's dating rules

Chapter 93
Wang rode a wolf into the tunnel first, and Elizabeth immediately trotted to follow.

The mage rode on the wolf to pretend that he was leading the way.Now the tunnel is quite high, waiting to enter a place that is not so high, he has to be careful not to be bumped.

Elizabeth walked beside the wolf, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that you just walk in the front? Now there is no big gong for cover, and cavemen are very accurate at hearing the sound."

Wang: "Then sit in front of me, so that you can block most of the projectiles."

Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, but in the end, instead of climbing onto the back of the wolf, she took off her defensive wristband and handed it to the mage, "Put this on and return it to me when the matter is over."

"No need." Wang shook his head, "I prepared the Mage Armor spell today."

Although it bears the word "armor", this spell is of the conjuration system, probably because its underlying principle is to create a force field shield—similar to the effect of Elizabeth's defensive wrists.

All spells with the attribute of "creating something" are mostly conjuration.From life to spells that create water and bread, to summoning creatures, monsters, and even otherworldly beings to fight for you, it's all conjuration.Even summoning the undead, which intuitively belongs to the necromantic system, is actually a conjuration system.

Only those "summoning" undead that reverse death and drag the corpse up are the necromancers.The difference is that one needs to be a corpse as a "material", and the other is generated out of thin air.

Mage armor belongs to the conjuration system. It is a protective spell that kings who have banned the protection system can use, and it is also the most useful spell in the face of physical attacks (*).

Disappointed, Elizabeth put the wristband back on and muttered, "I thought you would wear invisibility."

"The invisibility technique is not easy to use in this situation tonight. In an environment like the underground, it is impossible for me to put away the dragon head scepter. I must ensure that there is enough light for the team. I can't use the invisibility technique at this time."

Elizabeth exclaimed in admiration, "Did you even anticipate tonight's situation? You guys are so smart."

Nini, the elf walking beside Elizabeth, said, "You seem to trust the mage very much."

Elizabeth: "Yeah, if you've been through a complete crisis together, you'd trust his wisdom too. No, it shouldn't be called wisdom, because wisdom is a combination of intelligence and cleverness, and he's far from it." Be smart."

Nini looked confused: "I'm sorry, I may not speak the common language very well, so I didn't quite understand what you said."

The princess waved her hand: "Don't worry about it."

At this time, the drow who was walking a little ahead to detect the trap suddenly turned around and asked with gestures: "There is a fork in the road ahead, which way to go?"

Wang patted the wolf's back, and then remembered that the druid might not understand sign language, so he asked, "There is a fork in the road ahead, which way to go?"

The druid snapped back into human form: "Left!"

The other mercenaries following their team were shocked when they saw this scene: "He is riding such a small girl!!"

"That girl has a tail and is a kind of lycanthropy!"

"It must be a bought slave!"

"By the way, isn't he looking at the map to lead the way? Why did he ask the girl?"

Wang turned back and explained, "I look at the map to determine the location, and at the same time, the werewolves in our team use their scent to track the enemy. This is double insurance!"

"Oh, double insurance."

"It sounds more reliable."

"Their squad is so rich, and it's elves, drows, and dwarves. It must be that kind of legendary squad. It's right to follow."

"Haven't you heard? The mage leading the way can use the howl of the female ghost!"

Wang frowned, and finally suppressed the urge to turn his head to correct the mercenaries: it was obviously the howl of the banshee.

It seems that what I did in Langdon City has been compiled into poetry by the bards, and some "artistic processing" has been done by the way.

Nini looked at Wang in surprise: "You are actually a nine-ring mage?"

Even if the elves can't cast spells, they still know enough about magic, so they know the correct name and ring number of Banshee's Howl.

Wang: "No, it's a misinformation."

His words were also heard by the people behind, but everyone expressed their disbelief: "This must be hiding their identity."

"Mages like to keep their hole cards."

"Looking at him walking in the front so calmly, he must have a chain trigger technique on him."

Chain Trigger is the nine-ring version of Trigger, which can trigger three spells in a row in a pre-set order.

While chatting like this, the group continued to move deep underground.

After walking for about half an hour, Xiaobai stopped: "The smell has become stronger, and it smells like poop. I think we should have entered a caveman's lair."

Wang immediately said to the people behind: "You have entered the caveman's lair, be alert!"

The mercenaries immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy—although in their knowledge, the Nine-ring Mage was behind this operation, but they came out of licking blood with the tip of the knife, and knew that they could not completely entrust their lives to others.

The guy in his hand is still reliable.

However, everyone waited for a while and was not attacked.

A daring mercenary approached a low hole next to him, holding his shield up.

"Lord Lancelot!" He exclaimed, and at the same time pierced the cave with the long sword in his hand, and there was a mournful cry from the cave.

Wang: "What did you find?"

"Caveman's cub! Just throw it in the dirt nest! There is a lot of shit smelling next to it!"

That could be caveman shit.

Wang looked at the map and muttered: "We only walked down for half an hour, and now we entered the caveman's lair? The area of ​​the lair is much larger than what is shown on the map. Xiaobai, can you still track the smell?"

Xiaobai raised his head and sniffled: "I can't smell the cavemen anymore. But those monsters are so smelly, I can still smell them!"

Wang: "It seems that there are no such monsters in ordinary lairs. That's right, no matter how you look at them, they can't be mixed with ordinary cavemen. Xiaobai, follow the smell of monsters and continue to go deep into the lair. Everyone do Get ready for battle, the caveman attack is coming soon!

"They have very sensitive hearing, and they must have heard the rattling sound of our armor from far away."

Hearing what the "Mage of the Nine Rings" said, all the mercenaries did not dare to neglect, so when they started moving again, the movement speed of the entire team slowed down.The shield battle among the mercenaries even maintained the shield all the time, for fear that a caveman would jump out from somewhere and launch a surprise attack.

After another half an hour of walking with such nervous nerves, someone finally couldn't hold back: "My lord mage! Will the cavemen really come?"

The king pretended to look at the map and said: "We have all gone so deep into their lair, they must be watching us. Remember, cavemen have almost no eyesight, they rely entirely on hearing, so they may hide in various caves, corners , those corners where the dark vision of the drow and dwarves cannot see, eavesdropping on our movements."

Another mercenary said: "Cavemen don't have vision, but we do. Your staff illuminates the environment so brightly. Even if we are attacked by cavemen, we can deal with it perfectly, right? We still have torches!"

Wang looked at the staff in his hand, and suddenly found something: With this staff, most of the team seemed to be in the sun except for the far tail. In this case, the caveman The advantage of good hearing is offset.

After all, the hearing of cavemen is not as good as that of monks who catch flies with chopsticks with their eyes closed (*).

Their hearing has no way to offset the human visual advantage in bright light.

Wang stared at his luminous stick and muttered, "Could it be that the commander of the caveman knew that launching a surprise attack under this kind of light would not be effective?"

Ralph's grandfather certainly didn't have such a powerful eternal light source. They must have used torches to light them deep into the ground.

With such a dim light from the torch, the caveman's advantage must be infinite, and at that time most cavemen were strong warriors, after all, everyone could eat mushrooms.

Moreover, it is inconvenient to fight with a torch, and the torch is easy to fall off the ground during the battle.

So... the stick is the key to the caveman not attacking?

Wang re-examined the stick. It turned out that it was only for emitting light, so it had such a big effect?This ability, which was originally thought to be a head-adding ability, is actually the most powerful function of this scepter?

Elizabeth patted his leg hard: "Don't be silent suddenly, talk!"

Wang: "Huh? Oh yes. I think the caveman should have a leader with certain tactical capabilities. He knows that under the light of my scepter, he will suffer heavy losses against well-trained and experienced mercenaries. That's why we can always Advance safely in the lair.

"If I were this leader, I would..."

Wang suddenly changed his expression, turned his head and said to the last of the team: "The last team counts the number of people!"

Everyone looked back together.

Although the light of the dragon head scepter is powerful, the coverage area is limited after all. The further back in the team, the less light you get.

In other words, the lighting conditions behind the team may be more suitable for cavemen to launch sneak attacks.

Immediately behind someone exclaimed: "The broken team is gone! The whole team is gone!"

Wang: "The enemy is already attacking us! Form a tight formation, and don't leave the light range of the scepter!"

The experienced mercenaries changed rapidly.

At this time, the werewolf girl's ears trembled, and she shouted: "Wait a minute, there is the sound of digging, under our feet!"

Wang: "Scatter the formation!"

As soon as the voice fell, a large hole in the middle of the formation collapsed.

The sudden pit not only caused the mercenaries who were too late to disperse to fall into it, but also created a "blind spot of light". Although the mage had already raised the scepter, the light of the scepter still couldn't shine into the pit!

There were screams from inside the pit.

The mercenary captain by the pit shouted: "Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows down! Throw the rope ladder down to save people!"

At this time, Wang was looking at the map: "Wait a minute! There is another layer of mines under this mine! Don't stay, run, or we will all sink!"

Elizabeth: "Isn't that the same as giving up the person who fell?"

However, another mercenary said loudly: "My lord mage is right, we have to make a choice between total annihilation and loss of only a few people!"

Wang was even more decisive: "Xiaobai! Go forward! Go straight to the source of the monster's smell!"

As soon as the voice fell, another smaller hole appeared, and several people fell into it.

There were female screams in the cave.

Xiaobai didn't care about these things, just ran forward, and even forgot to change back into wolf form.Fortunately, she didn't turn back into a wolf, otherwise the mage's head would have hit the wooden beams supporting the mine in front.

The mercenaries followed behind them, and everyone tried their best not to leave the range of the dragon head scepter.

Flint was also trying to run, but the dwarf was too slow to keep up with the running humans, so he shouted anxiously: "Gotrick!"

As soon as the words fell, the barbarian caught him and carried him on his shoulders like a wine barrel.It seems that Manzi knew that the dwarf couldn't run, so he took the initiative to lean towards him.

While the group was running wildly, a mercenary suddenly shouted: "Tavemen! On the beam, they are destroying the rotten part of the beam!"

Nini raised her head, and immediately drew the bow and set two arrows. With the sound of the bowstrings, two caveman "untouchables" who were destroying the beams screamed and fell down, and their necks were immediately chopped off by the mercenaries.

The elves shot their bows as they ran, and the cavemen who tried to break the beams fell one by one, like ripe apples in autumn.

Wang rode on the druid, continued to look at the map, and read as he read: "Theoretically, the cavemen do not have high intelligence, and their spellcasters are mainly magic and spirit spellcasters, and they don't need intelligence. How could such a tactic be arranged?" Woolen cloth?"

Just as he was talking, Elizabeth, who was running next to him, suddenly staggered and was about to fall.

The mage threw the scepter and reached out to pick up the princess.The scepter floated beside him by itself, but its height dropped a lot compared to just now.

Immediately, there was a scream from behind the line: "Don't stop the light, master! Ahhhhh!"

Upon seeing this, Malika leaned over and hugged the princess in a princess hug.

"Nobody detects traps now, one more trap and we're done!" Drow yelled.

It was too late and then too fast, the mage shouted: "Jump!"

Xiaobai jumped straight away, so he flew into a shaft with the mage on his back.

The mage turned around and saw Malika who was holding Elizabeth and Gotrick who was carrying the dwarf jumped up without hesitation, and then shouted the incantation——

Feather Fall!
In an instant, everyone's falling speed slowed down.

Xiaobai: "I'm sorry, I followed the taste, I didn't know there was a pitfall."

Wang: "This is called a shaft, which is used for ventilation in the mine. Thanks to this map."

At this time, Nini, who hesitated to take off, finally took off. She didn't get the effect of Feather Fall, but she jumped directly onto the wall on the side of the shaft, kicking back against the wall and flying to the other side.

She kicked the wall back and forth like this and leaped left and right in the shaft, trying to maintain the same falling speed as everyone else.

The other mercenaries rushed to the edge of the pit and did not stop the car. They fell several times and overtook the people who were falling slowly.

Wang heard the mercenaries above shouting: "Who prepared the feather fall technique? What? Why didn't you prepare the feather fall technique, damn it!"

Nini: "You should remind mages to prepare Feather Fall."

Wang: "Even if I reminded them before departure, they couldn't change the spells they prepared today. And who knew they would go down the shaft?
"The situation is so urgent now. The poison prepared by Ralph is almost used up. It may not be able to stop the next attack. We can only set off as soon as possible."

As soon as the words fell, Xiaobai shouted: "I saw the bottom of the pit!"

Tens of seconds later, Xiaobai landed steadily, and the drow also showed his dexterity.

Only Gotrek sat down on the ground, but Manzi immediately stood up and patted his butt.

Nini was the last one to fall down, then looked up at the shaft and said, "Even if it's me, it will take a while to climb up."

The dwarf who had just been put down by Gotrick said, "You can still climb up? It's so deep!"

Nini: "It's not too difficult. It's just time-consuming."

Wang: "Xiaobai, do you hear the caveman's voice?"

Xiaobai turned his ears and shook his head: "No."

"It seems that we have good news," said the mage. "It seems that the troglodytes who arranged the ambush didn't expect us to descend so far so quickly."

Flint: "There's even better news."

He carefully inspected the pattern on the wall, and said while inspecting: "This part of the shaft was not written by humans. It was built by dwarves. The inscriptions on the stone bricks are in ancient dwarf language, and all the inscriptions have the same meaning: Ramashtu."

Wang pointed to the center of the entire wall: "There is the holy emblem of Lamashtu."

"What?" The dwarf was shocked, and then he also saw the holy emblem, "Oh, ah, at least it means that I translated the ancient dwarf language correctly."

　(*) The effect of armor in this book is to reduce damage, so Elizabeth's defensive wrist is treated as a force field shield.The same goes for mage armor.
