God's Chosen Archmage

Chapter 203 Red Scorpion Mercenary Group

"Gudu... gudu..."

Accompanied by the smell of sulfur, bubbles rose from the depths of the magma.It was like a mouthful of thick porridge that was boiled, releasing endless heat.

Ed looked around, but the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch!This tower-shaped building turned out to be a defensive facility with dual functions!I just don't know if there will be any guardian knights in this place where the fire and earth magic power gathers.

"My dear, where is this place? Have we deployed any mechanism?"

Aside, Elsa looked around and shouted.For this girl, nothing excites her more than adventure, but facing such a big place with no enemies, it really makes people lose interest.

"That's right, this should be the restriction placed on the heavy-armored zombie, which teleported us to the bottom of the cave." Ed explained lightly.

"Come on, let's explore this place."

There is indeed no sign of a monster in this place, but somehow, Ed still has a feeling!Perhaps, this place is really similar to the scorching trial circle he mastered at the earliest!Even if his trial was disrupted by the remnants of the gods.However, as the only trial circle left by Maglin, he still has a special feeling in it.

Walking and walking, the lava river in front has been replaced by magma pools one by one.The scorching heat and the smell of sulfur became Ed's only impression of this place.There are no monsters, and nothing particularly noteworthy.Originally, Ed thought that this would be the end of his exploration this time, but after the incident by a magma pool, he felt a sense of recognition.

"Stand still, tell me, why are you here?"

Suddenly, a thin young man appeared beside Ed!It seems that he has been lurking around here early, but what makes Ed a little strange is that this guy's lurking skills seem to come from the skills he has mastered, and this thin man also has a feeling of deja vu!
"Wow! It's you again! How did the old lady's teasing feet taste like last time? Do you want to try again?"

Elsa pinched her waist and smiled coquettishly, but Ed also remembered it.That's right, this is one of the few people who attacked them in the abandoned dormitory in Nameilin last time.What did he claim to be at that time?It seems to be the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group too, right?Could it be that there are still so many mercenary groups called Red Scorpions?

Ed was about to wonder, but a familiar voice came out again. "Wow! Ed, it's really you. Hehe, is it possible that the honorable mage is going to take on missions like us mercenaries to make a living?"

Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a gentle smile.Today is destined to be a day when old friends reunite. This person is the friend in need, Cantona, whom he met in the cell deep in the underground castle of Eternal Night City!Before Ed could reply, the thin man beside him frowned.

"Cantona, do you know this guy? Huh, well, for your sake, the last time the kid ruined our business, forget it."

After speaking, the guy stepped back and continued to play with the dagger in his hand.

"This kid is interesting, right? He's called Silver Right Hand Ante Gerald, a fourth-level assassin and part-time thief..."

Cantona introduced Ed with a smile, but spread his hands in front of him. "No matter what you are here for, Ed, do you have anything to eat? We have been hungry since yesterday!" Every time I see this kid, it seems that the first topic is always eating!
After satisfying Cantona's food requirements, he was caught at the resting place of the Red Scorpion mercenaries behind the boulder.He has known Jason Gerald, a fifth-level poison fighter, the rapier scorpion.Cantona, the fifth-level fighter who ate his own food, the Bow of Glory, naturally didn't mention it.Whip of Thorns, Shirley, the fourth-level female warrior who wields a whip, Zola the Beheading Axe, that burly man who has the strength of a fifth-level fighter just because of his huge body, they have all met before.The key is that besides these people, he also met an old acquaintance!
Thin body, drooping face with dead fish eyes, coupled with a lazy and decadent expression.This man is the dagger red fox and swordsman Jack Julian who had fought against Ed before!
Why is this guy here?Looking at him like this, it seems that he is still at the level of a low-level sword master. Could it be that the sequelae of his attack on the sword master have not improved at all?

"Since Master Gessler disappeared, I have been unemployed."

This Jack is still with that lazy and dead character. "It just so happens that the Red Scorpion mercenary group is recruiting members, and the name of this mercenary group matches my heart... Ed Sterling, do you mean that the mercenary group is under your command? Hehe, this joke is not funny ..."

"If I say yes. How will you react?" Ed's eyes were smiling, but his expression was full of seriousness.

"Oh? That's not bad!" That Jack stretched, but took a piece of barbecue that Cantona handed over.

"Anyway, I have nowhere to go, and there is nothing wrong with being your subordinate..."

"You have to be clear, the owner of the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group is Ed Sterling, not Karls Morris."

"What does that matter? It's my freedom to be a subordinate to others!" Jack stuffed the barbecue into his mouth in three mouthfuls, but stared straight at Ed's face.

"Ed, in Enlos, the people who are interested in you are not just the Assassin's Association. Huh... know what I see in you? A power to open up a new top-level force! If you really accept that Kars I don’t even bother to be your subordinate!”

"I love to hear this kind of talk! But as for your old wound..."

Looking at this Jack, Ed couldn't help but think of that old fat man Skoll!Doesn't this guy never suffer?If he sent these people to him, what would the old guy do?

Thinking about it, Ed couldn't help laughing!After using magic to draw a map of Skoll's residence, he stuffed it and two gold bricks directly to Jason.

"Ed, what are you doing? The mercenary group is now under your command, and there is no shortage..."

"This gold is for you to buy everyone's weapons and armor," Ed smiled, but forced the things into Jason's arms. "Remember, the person mentioned on the map is a tenth-level powerhouse known as the Explosive Flame Sword Master. That old guy has a lot of airs, but he is afraid of being soft-spoken. You have to seize this opportunity!"

"Well, after I go out this time, I will go to the place you mentioned."

Jason was happy. He put away the gold and the map, but there was always a small magma pool behind him.

"Ed, do you know why we stayed here for so long? Hehe, because we found some very special flame monsters in this place. We don't understand magic, so we can't get out... But Ed, you'd better go there yourself Check it out."

This was unexpected news, although he quickly realized that the obstacles Jason mentioned were just some common fire magic traps, but in these traps, he felt a strong fire magic power!

It seems that the monster here is really related to the trial!Ed thought to himself, after Jason's group of mercenaries left, he also pulled Elsa up and walked towards the direction where the fire magic power flowed.Soon the two came to a new area.

As before, there are also large and small magma pools here, but compared with the previous Yimapingchuan, the magma pools in this place have many more layers.Like giant bowls, stacked in front of Ed.

Why, why is this magma pool formed?Could it be that these so-called magmas all flowed down from the top?He raised his head and looked over the cavern.He did not find the so-called magma vent.It was an orange-red flower bud four or five meters high that attracted his attention.

That is the flame mandala flower, a unique flower that only grows in the depths of volcanic magma.The petals of this kind of flower are not unusual except that they are resistant to fire. It is said that this thing is suitable for making artificial magic stone karst stone materials.

Great harvest, even if it doesn't have much practicality for Ed, it's just a bud, but it can't ignore its own value.

The light curtain of the fire shield soon appeared around Ed's body.This alone cannot resist the heat of the magma.While releasing the fire magic, he also activated the fourth-level flying thaumaturgy in the wind system!Slowly, he gradually approached the huge orange-red flower bud, but at this moment, Elsa's warning came from behind him, "Be careful with your step!" Ed hurriedly released the teleportation.

"boom--"

Right where he was just now, a pillar of magma fire with a diameter of ten meters suddenly surged!Ed's major in magic has always been the fire department, that's right, if he really gets hit with this trick firmly, he will be doomed!The pillar of fire in the eyes quickly retracted into the magma pool like a huge wave in the forest sea, and a hideous orange-red figure suddenly appeared in front of Ed!
This is the Volcanic Beast, a monster that lives in magma.Although it is only one word different from the Volcanic Beast, and its strength is not bad at the fifth level of the Warcraft, there is no so-called Warcraft Crystal Core in the head of this Volcanic Beast!

"Oh... poof—"

After opening his big mouth like a demonstration, a ball of orange-red flames flew straight to Ed in mid-air!Generally speaking, the scariest thing about a volcano beast is that it never takes a step outside the volcano, but the unique coercion of a monster restricts Ed's actions to the greatest extent!

Ed has always lacked actual combat experience in fighting monsters, but he thought of a way to fight back against monsters with such strength that he couldn't make much of himself!

At the moment when the flame touched Ed's body, the place under his feet suddenly burst into purple!Although it looks weak, it looks particularly mysterious and powerful in the warm colors of red, orange and yellow!
