Lord of War

  Lookout area is the name of the only safe area in the ancient ruin area by the slave trappers in the wild.

  For what purpose this place was built in the first place, it is no longer exquisite. But the only thing that can be confirmed is that this is indeed the only safe place in the entire ancient ruin area, because there are no corpses here, and there are not too many damages left on the ground. It is the most complete place that Xiao En and others have seen so far. , Even the observation deck with a height of about forty meters is well preserved-the reason why this area is called a lookout area is because of this observation deck.

  Although the exterior wall of the observation deck is now covered with moss, and the iron gate at the entrance to the tower is gone, the lights on the observation deck can still be lit.

  It is said that what is stored on it is a kind of whale oil extracted from the deep-sea magic whale, which can be ignited no matter how long it is stored. Moreover, the goblin’s steam power source is used as an operation, which can not only be ignited, but can also be extinguished when not in use, so even if it is now a ruin, the lights on the watchtower can still be ignited, but it can be maintained. No one knows how long it will take.

  According to tradition, as long as there is a slave hunting team in the lookout area, they must light up the lights on the lookout after nightfall.

  For a long time, whether it is Andre or any other slave trapping team that enters and exits through the Gorge Rift, they have obeyed these rules that have not been passed down since when they did not know, and it seems that they have formed an instinct.

   Xiao En and others finally came to this area after passing through a dilapidated and vaguely distinguishable architectural corridor that was once a luxury mansion. However, when he walked about three hundred meters from the observation deck, Xiao En felt as if he had passed through a barrier constructed by an unknown force. It seemed that it was precisely because of this barrier that the observation area was here. The film area was kept so intact.

It’s just that this power is not divine power, but a special power that Sean can’t understand. What he can feel is only the moment he steps into the 300-meter range, and after entering or standing No such power was felt from three hundred meters away. Obviously, the extension of this power seems to have a limit-a circle with a radius of about 300 meters around the observation deck as the core, but he is a little confused about the specific situation.

   "It's a barrier." Cecilia seemed to see Sean's doubts, so she said, "It's a sheltered barrier. You don't seem to be as sensitive to magic as to divine power?"

"I am now specialized in killing demons and other creatures, and I deal more with gods, and I am really not sensitive to magic." Sean laughed bitterly, not knowing why, he seemed to feel that Cecilia was a little unhappy. "Furthermore, the Curse Seal Swordsman is not originally a magic swordsman. Strictly speaking, it is more like a temple warrior, so the magic induction can probably sense a little, but it can't accurately judge what."

   "Oh." Cecilia responded and began to look around her surroundings.

   "Can you see what kind of enchantment it is?" Sean asked.

   "At present, the only one that can be judged is one, to get rid of evil." Cecilia knocked on this side and fumbled on the other side. After a while, she spoke.

   "You mean, everything here is safe because of this barrier?" Andre looked incredible.

  Enchantment is a branch born out of the magic circle.

   is different from the magic circle's ability to create and generate domains. Enchantments are used to limit the "domain". Therefore, under normal circumstances, the function of enchantment is relatively single, and it is nothing more than two types of sleepiness and defense. Of course, there are several subdivisions in detail. For example, the category of "sleepiness" includes binding, pressure, condensation, stagnation, etc. And there are several kinds of defense, such as isolation, extinction, and exorcism, but there is no detailed record in the magic guild, all of which are the claims of wild mage.

  Unlike the rare case of magic circles, enchantment is the most common magic phenomenon in this world. Generally speaking, it can be divided into two types: natural formation and man-made formation. Judging from the current situation of this lookout, it is obviously a man-made enchantment. Moreover, the enchantment has an advantage over the magic array, that is, once the enchantment is formed, it can almost automatically absorb magic power from the outside world, without the need for the caster to continue to provide magic power to the enchantment.

"Yes, it is indeed because there is a barrier here, so this area will appear safe. However, this barrier will only be fully activated when the lights on the watchtower are lit, and now it is only to maintain the minimum self-operation. That's all, it can't be regarded as a complete enchantment." Cecilia nodded, "But it is normal for you to not know, after all, you have never walked with a magician before."

  Thinking about it this way, it's true. There are so many slave hunting teams in the wild land, and which one has magicians, even if they do, it is a very small part. After all, the south of the mainland is not as rich as the north, and there is the world where magicians are rampant. Regarding the enchantment, it is also a taboo topic like the mud board of the godless, so even if Andre and the others know it, there is no problem, and it can even make them understand the importance of this enchantment.

  But Sean could hear another meaning from Cecilia’s words: "Currently? The only one? You mean, there is more than one enchantment here?"

"Theoretically, the highest achievement of plural enchantments can be superimposed by five, but this kind of legendary enchantment has only been seen in the academy before." Cecilia said with some uncertainty, "I'm the enchantment here. Personally, I guess it should be two or three, but I really can’t see the arrangement, and from the superficial inference, I can only judge that there should be an enchantment that drives away evil."

   "In other words, there are real undead creatures in this ancient ruin area." Xiao En's eyes seemed a little deep.

"Don't mess around, we don't even know what the other party is." Cecilia knew what Shaun wanted to do when she saw Sean's gaze. Even if she opened her mouth to stop it, "There is a backlog of more than a hundred years. Resentment, even if there are undead creatures like Necromancers, it is very possible."

  The Necromancer is a high-level advanced creature of the black warrior. Its strength is basically equivalent to the lower level gold, but because it is an undead creature, it is more dangerous than the general lower level gold powerhouse in terms of comprehensive strength. And since the names are called generals, and they are of gold level strength, because they are born with special abilities similar to the coercion of the undead, they can order the undead creatures, and the undead creatures near the generals will be greatly enhanced in combat power.

  To explain in terms of the game, this undead creature has special effects similar to aura skills.

   Judging from the current situation of Sean’s team, if you encounter this undead creature, and you are still fighting against it in a dead place like the ancient ruin area, the possibility of the group's destruction is extremely great.

"But don't you feel curious?" Sean looked puzzled. "A place like this is simply a natural treasure for those magicians who specialize in undead magic, with their ability to sense the breath of the undead and Judging ability, after hearing the news of the failure to build the fortress here in the Kingdom of Darbion, I will definitely come here to see if there is anything that can be used, but now it is even a magician, and the whole area of ​​ancient ruins is obvious. It is also in an undeveloped state, and there must be a reason for it."

"Even if there are any special reasons, it is not something we can deal with at the moment." Cecilia appeared very determined this time, contrary to the obedient and obedient image given to Sean in the past, "I saw it for the first time. At this kind of enchantment, at least after I have researched all the functions of this enchantment, let's discuss whether we want to take risks in this ancient ruin area, okay?"

"You guys get out first." Sean looked at Cecilia with an eager look on her face, turned his head and looked at Andre and others on the side, and said, "What to do or what to do, follow your usual habits. , First go and light the lights on the watchtower, so that the entire enchantment can be restored first."

  Since the Lord Lord has already spoken, even if Andre and the others still have questions, they can only execute them first. Soon, the surrounding people dispersed first. Under Andre’s command, everyone began to prepare to start a bonfire to cook food. After all, they had been eating compressed instant dry food before, and it was rare to be able to be in a safe place. It must be a good rest, and this time Andre will be personally responsible for lighting the lights of the watchtower.

  After everyone dispersed, leaving only Cecilia and Dini, Sean spoke again, "What did you find?"

"I didn't find anything, but it made me feel very unsafe." Cecilia said, "The formation of this barrier was definitely not added later, but from the beginning. The barrier is the same as the magic circle. , It needs to be planned and arranged, but if you look at the ground, it is very clean and there are no traces of the layout. Then it can only show that when the fortress was built, the enchantment plan was already buried in the foundation. Therefore, this watchtower and this area can be preserved for so long without any signs of damage. This is hundreds of years, maybe close to two hundred years of history."

   Sean's brows frowned. The history of this world has largely divorced from his cognition, which is largely due to his appearance. But what Sean can be sure is that before he came to this world, the historical development of this world was exactly the same as his original situation in the game. The things that existed before will certainly not change in any way.

  It’s a pity that the demise of the Kingdom of Darbion was too fast. The first expansion was already breached by Asuna at the beginning. Shaun didn’t know much about the information and history of this kingdom. But after hearing what Cecilia said at this moment, and reminiscing about the news he heard from Andre along the way, Sean felt that the Kingdom of Darbion would spend a lot of money to build a fortress here, and he must have discovered the Gorge. What's the secret of the Rift Valley, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a big investment.

  And the birth of the Gorge Rift is related to gods, so the clues of history will involve the battle of the gods at dusk. In that battle, Eswinter almost fell, leaving a god-shaped tablet in Fire Hole No. 3, and the cold air of the three fire holes is connected in one vein, so it is impossible for the blade wind to be produced. Appearing out of thin air for no reason, the coldness of the blade wind is too cold like Winter Wind Blade.

and many more!

  Howling Winter Wind Blade?

  Shaun felt that he had found some key clue!
