Advent of the Archmage

Chapter 343: The Sorrows of the Night King

Views:

Howling Gulch, cave.

Nana was behind him, so whose arm did he touch just now

Fan Kennuosi felt that his pores were exploding, and cold sweat covered his back all at once. He almost had the urge to turn around and run wildly.

'Pun' Link lit a light technique, and the faint light slightly illuminated the cave.

Under the dim light, Link saw two round eyes full of horror, one was Fankenos, and the other was Malinda, a girl from Job.

As for Nana, she was still the same, and the black cat, who was curled up in Nana's collar, licked its paws leisurely, as if everything that happened outside had nothing to do with him.

Look around again.

The cave passage is already very spacious, 15 meters wide and over 4 meters high. There are a large number of spiky stalagmites hanging upside down, and there are two dark and faint passages in front, and the wind blows out of the right passage continuously, making a strange sound of 'woo woo woo'.

"No... nothing? But I just touched something, it's soft, and it seems to be a little warm." Fankenos was crying, his body was leaning against the stone wall, holding Hold the dagger and put on a defensive state. Only in this way can he feel at ease.

"Pfft~" Link lit the magic light again, he lit three in total, and three fist-sized balls of milky white soft light flew out, and one of them stuck to Fankenos' head. One stuck to the top of the cave, and the other turned a corner and flew behind the boulder in front left.

Immediately, every detail of this space was illuminated, leaving no dead space.

Fankenos felt much more at ease. Holding the dagger, he moved towards the boulder bit by bit. In his mind, behind the boulder was the only possible hiding place. If the guy he encountered really existed, It is only possible to hide there.

He was ready to fight.

One meter, two meters, three meters, and two meters later is the back of the rock. When he arrived here, Fankenos jumped forward with experience. After landing, he was the first to roll quickly on the ground. In the back, and he was still half squatting on the ground, with the dagger in front of him, guarding left and right.

If there is someone hiding behind the stone, he can rush out in this way to ensure that he will not be attacked.

"Where is the person? Where is the person? Is there still no one?" Fan Kenos felt that his mood was about to collapse.

The cave is only this big, and behind this rock is the only hiding place, there is none here, so what the hell did he encounter just now? !

"Fankenos, no... it can't be your illusion, right?" Malinda asked softly, she curled up on Nana's back, wishing she could shrink her body away.

Fankenos was not confident anymore. He looked down at the ground around him. If that guy really existed, then there should be his footprints on the ground. Looking at it this way, he also began to suspect that he felt wrong just now, because the ground No footprints at all.

"My lord, have you noticed any abnormalities?" Fankenos felt that he might be too nervous and made a mistake, which was really low-level.

Link hasn't spoken since he turned on the magic light. He was carefully observing the surrounding traces. At this time, he had already found some abnormal clues.

"Your feeling is right. You should have bumped into something. Look here." Link pointed to the middle of the rock.

Fankenuosi looked over, and there was a small scratch at a height of more than two meters. The trace was still fresh. Depending on the situation, it went deep into the cave.

"It should be able to fly. After being accidentally touched by you, it was also startled and flew away immediately. It made no sound when it flew (for details, please refer to nocturnal birds, such as owls, which can hardly be heard by human ears when flying. to the sound), perhaps very low, drowned out by the wind in the cave on the right."

While speaking, Link put away the magic light technique, only keeping the last one stuck on top of Fankenos' head.

He continued: "If my guess is correct, there should be some abnormal things in this cave, and the one we encountered just now should be a detection sentinel."

In the game, such a sentinel is called 'Night Whistle', which is a unique trained bird in the Howling Canyon. Once the Night Whistle is found in the cave, it means that there must be a copy in the cave.

If Link is not mistaken, the dungeon in front of him should be called 'The Sorrow of the Night King'.

Because the map details of closed spaces such as caves are relatively small, the situation in the cave in reality is almost exactly the same as in the game, especially the appearance of the familiar semicircular boulder in front of it, which immediately made Link confirm the situation in his heart. guess.

After knowing that it was this dungeon, Link breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a bit of pain.

The reason is very simple. The final boss Night King in this dungeon is not particularly powerful, but the passing mechanism of this dungeon is very, very abnormal.

The name of the dungeon is The Night King's Sorrow, but if one fails, it will become the player's Sorrow.

In the previous game, he came to this dungeon more than 100 times, and every time he racked his brains to pass the level, just to get a double mount dropped by the Night King.

After he brushed it, Link immediately swore he would never come to this perverted place again in his life, but now that he came to reality, he actually came back again.

On the other side, when Fankenos heard about the sentinel, he scratched his head and said, "My lord, there are two roads ahead, where should we go now?"

"To the left, the one with no wind," Link said.

"Ah~ There is wind on the right, which means there is an exit." Fankenos was puzzled, he likes to take risks, and he still understands these basic common sense.

Link has already walked towards the left hole first: "The wind on the left is not naturally generated. It is a wind element magic. I can feel that walking this way will definitely be a dead end in the end."

In fact, Link couldn't feel it at all. From his point of view, the wind was no different from the natural wind. The reason why Link knew it was because he had been tricked.

This is the first place where "The Sorrow of the Night King" deceived people. Those players who opened up wasteland saw the dead silence on the left and the wind blowing on the right. They instinctively felt that there was something on the right, so they went all the way to the right.

As a result, they will be led by this nasty wind to circle around in the underground maze-like mountain path, and they will also encounter a large number of wind elemental monsters on the way.

Going to the right, there are generally two final results: First, the player accidentally attracts too much wind element and is beaten to death by the group. Second, being stunned in the maze and unable to find a way out, in this case, the only option is to commit suicide and go back to the graveyard to resurrect (the game does not have Hearthstone).

Those who can finally get out of this maze are either those with extremely high IQs, or those with perverted luck who can buy lottery tickets.

This cheating place is for novices, and there are also veterans. Link has already focused his attention and is ready to deal with the trap set by the Night King.

Link's words are still very reliable. Since he said that the right side is a dead end, Fankenos walked to the cave on the left without any doubt.

"Wait, let's leave some traces."

With that said, Link walked to the entrance on the right, pointed his wand forward, and a magic light appeared, flying all the way deep into the cave.

Magic Light has a characteristic, its range is very, very far.

Its magic energy structure is restrained and very stable. After the construction is completed, it will start to emit light steadily, and it will not go out until the magic energy in it is exhausted. The whole process does not require magicians to expend energy to maintain its existence.

This leads to its ultra-long range. Basically, as long as the field of vision is within reach, the magic light can be shot there.

Link controlled the magic light technique and flew along the cave, unsteadily, and flew more than 200 meters before sticking to the stone wall.

He explained: "This magic light technique will last for three minutes, and a large amount of magic energy will be released during the whole process..."

Before he finished speaking, the black cat poked its head out and continued, "Then, the demon leader will chase in, and finally enter the maze, Meow, Link, you are so insidious, I like it."

Link shrugged and admitted.

He admired it in his heart, this black cat is worthy of being a god, and he knew the structure of the cave at once. Of course, although this guy looks cute, but his character is very indifferent. For freedom, he can sacrifice everything. Just look at what he did.

Link has always been on the lookout for it.

Hearing what the two said, Fankenos became more relieved. Under the guidance of the magic light above his head, he took the lead to walk deep into the cave on the left.

He walked in front, while Link was behind to remove the traces of their passing, just like a fox sweeping snow, removing footprints, magical breath, smell and other traces one by one.

The journey went smoothly, without any abnormalities.

The further he walked, the more spacious the cave was. After walking for about five minutes, Link suddenly felt something in his heart. Immediately afterwards, he heard a loud bang coming from behind him.

"That's it?" Fan Kenos paused.

Link was slightly surprised by the result: "My magic gate was breached. It seems that the demon leader is indeed powerful, and he can only fool him for so little time. Don't panic, let's continue walking."

After walking about 100 meters further, a magic door suddenly appeared in front of it, with a magic rune written on the door: "Mortal, what is the biggest lie in life?" '

Below this sentence are three options, namely: love, power, money, and finally there is a space.

There is also a note below: I want to enter the door and answer questions.

Link looked at it and sighed, this was the first place where veterans were cheated. In previous games, countless heroes were brought back to life by this trick of Might and Magic.
