The grassland is very windy at night, and there is a "squeaky" sound. The grass in many places is as high as a person. When people stand in it, they are surrounded by dense grass, and they can't tell the direction at all.
Of course, this is for ordinary people. For Link, those poisonous orcs who escaped left too much information that can be traced along the way.
The smell, the breath of power, the footprints, the dark green pus stained on the grass blades, couldn't be more obvious.
After following this way for more than half an hour, Link followed to a low-lying valley.
The valley is filled with light green mist, and there is a rare dwarf tree with lush branches growing in it. There is a large open space around the short tree, and there are more than thirty thatched huts around the open space.
The thatched hut is centered on a short tree, and there is an open space in the middle. A bonfire is lit on the open space. The color of this bonfire is very strange, it is dark green, and the light is very dim, and the surrounding area is also green.
Through this green light, Link saw many orcs sitting or squatting in the open space. Among them was a very tall orc with white hair and spots all over his body, and his eyes were still shining.
The orc who escaped before knelt in front of this tall orc, and this orc was holding a hammer-shaped knobbly stick in his hand, and was waving it back and forth, making a sound of 'chi-chi-chi-chi-chi', listen carefully, he He spoke the orc language, but it might be because his body tissues were damaged by toxins, his voice sounded very vague, and he still had to swallow from time to time.
Link listened carefully, and could barely understand what he said, so he hid in the dark and listened carefully.
"Gu~ there is no miracle~ there can be no miracle~gu~"
A poisonous orc in front of the tall orc immediately began to point fingers, saying with certainty: "Boss, I saw it with my own eyes, a light suddenly appeared in the sky~ 咕~ shone on those human races~ 咕~ The poison on their bodies receded~ 咕~"
"No, it must be magic~ Gu~ There must be a magician." The tall orc said something, but seeing that his subordinates still objected, he swung his stick heavily: "Okay, this magician hides his head and shows his tail, very mysterious~ Gu ~ But he can also dispel the master's power, very powerful, I have to tell the master about it."
While speaking, the tall orc ignored his subordinates who were trying to persuade him, turned around and walked towards the largest thatched hut in the valley.
Link, who was hiding in the distance, saw his heart move, and immediately blessed himself with an invisibility magic, and walked into the valley without a sound.
The valley is filled with extremely strong toxins, which are almost life-threatening, but this is only for ordinary creatures. For Link, this is not a problem.
He completely stopped breathing, closed the pores all over his body, completely blocked the exchange of matter and energy with the external environment, and only borrowed the energy in his body for internal circulation.
Carefully proceeding along the periphery of the valley, after walking more than 50 meters, Link suddenly stopped, leaned down, and gently pushed away the mud on the ground with his feet. When he moved about 10 centimeters deep, a white talisman appeared. Aragonite.
The stone slab is quite large, with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters, and a large number of magic runes are drawn on it. Link squatted down and looked carefully: "A simple detection barrier... but the way the runes are drawn... should be from the hands of human magicians." '
The runes drawn by magicians of all races have their own characteristics. The dark elves are secretive and dark, the high elves are exquisite and complicated, the dragons are deep and simple, and the human races are more casual.
These styles are very light and belong to the commonality of the race. Ordinary magicians may not feel much, but for Link, a well-informed magic master, no matter how well hidden, he can still feel the difference at a glance.
For example, the rune slate in front of him, Link is 90% sure that it came from the hands of a magician.
"The person behind this matter is a human race? It doesn't seem like it." Link always felt that many details of this matter were inconsistent and could not stand up to scrutiny.
For example, the use of poison is not likely to be done by the human race. If human magicians want to do bad things, they basically use curses, or black magic, and they rarely use poison. It was the handiwork of the High Elves.
The situation is becoming more and more confusing, and Link is not in a hurry to make a conclusion. He believes that time will give him the answer.
There is a detection barrier around the valley, which can stop ordinary magicians, but for Link, these magics are just tricks. He slightly adjusted his invisibility magic and walked into this barrier.
There was no response to the detection barrier, as if Link didn't exist.
He walked lightly towards the largest thatched hut in the valley. After ten seconds, Link was outside the hut. There was a small window in the hut. Link went outside the window, then stood quietly, and the dragon force poured in. The ears, the ears are slightly warm, and the hearing is greatly improved immediately.
As he got closer, Link could clearly feel the magic breath coming from the hut. It was the breath of ordinary magic energy, about level 7. This is a level 7 human magician, very powerful, but not enough to release this kind of magic. level of poison. Of course, there is another possibility that he did not refine the poison, but bought it on the black market, or found it in a certain historical site.
Link's heart suddenly moved: "However, he is not afraid of the poison here while staying in this highly poisonous valley. Could it be that he has an antidote?" '
At this time, there was a voice coming from the hut, it was the conversation between the tall orc and the magician.
"This poison is very difficult to detox. Anyone who can detoxify it must be an extremely strong man. There are not many such strong men. It is really strange that he still has the power of moonlight." The voice is a bit old, but the words are clear, it should be It's the magician.
"Master, Gu~ Then what shall we do now?"
"That caravan is dangerous, don't provoke it... Gudo (orc name) and they have released the poison in Qingshixi for five days, and many people in Mara City downstream should have been infected. It's time for us to set off for Mara the city."
"I see."
Hearing this, Link frowned. The poison infected by these orcs is extremely unique. It is not only difficult to refine the antidote, but also has an independent growth type. As long as 1% of the people in the city are infected, the city is probably over. , if the poison is put in the water source, then the city of Mara is estimated to turn into this kind of poisonous orcs. If these orcs are all under the control of this magician, then this guy will definitely set off a terrifying wave of poisonous frenzy in the golden plain.
It was a catastrophe.
Thinking of this, Link made a move. He put his hand on the window of the hut, his thoughts surged, and clear thoughts fluctuated one by one, and the power of the essence of the plane in his body surged with his thoughts.
"Space, time, forbidden!"
As soon as the three thoughts moved, there was a soft 'hum', and the time and space in the hut was completely imprisoned by Link, and it became silent in an instant.
Link turned around and walked directly towards the hut. In the process, he quietly activated a new magic that he had recently comprehended: Wuhou.
no thick
Auxiliary Legendary Magic
Description: There are gaps in everything in the world. If you find these gaps, you can pass through them silently.
(Note: Use no thick to have room)
Now Link's technique of releasing magic has reached the point of seamlessness and perfection, and the process of casting the spell cannot be seen at all. His body is like air, and he passed through the hut lightly and entered the hut.
Inside the hut was an ordinary oil lamp, the light was like beans, in the dim light, a gray-haired human magician was sitting on a chair with a magic book beside him, and the poisonous beast man was standing beside him Before, report the situation.
Inside the hut, time and space are almost completely imprisoned, and the only thing that can move is the light from the oil lamp, so there is still light in the hut.
Link glanced around the hut, and behind the magician, Link saw a wooden shelf with more than a dozen crystal bottles filled with various liquids.
Link turned around and tried them one by one. Finally, he found a crystal bottle filled with a light red liquid at the bottom of the shelf. The liquid in this bottle was very strange, and it could actually relieve this strange poison.
'Sure enough, there is an antidote! ' Link said happily.
Take out a few drops of antidote from the light red crystal bottle, carefully store it in the enchanted crystal bottle, and then, Link restores everything in the room to its original state. A little bit of the essence of the plane poured into the surface of his skin, forming a secret curse inside.
With this curse, Link can know the location of the magician at any time, as long as he wants, he can also kill the magician at any time.
After doing all this, Link exited the hut, and said softly: 'Solution! '
The space inside the thatched hut was restored to its original state in an instant, and neither the magician nor the orc felt anything unusual in the house, and they were still discussing things about the city of Mara.
Link continued to listen outside the hut. When they finished speaking, he also fully understood the other party's arrangement for Mara City. He still did not disturb these people, but chose to leave quietly.
He can feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there is a behind-the-scenes messenger who hides very deeply. Now that he has learned the formula of the medicine, there is no need to startle the enemy.
He wants to see who is behind the scenes.
When Link left the Toxic Valley, mission information appeared in his vision.
Quest: Strange Orc completed.
Player freedom points +50.
Trigger new mission: City of Mara
Task content: Enter Mara City and stop the poisonous change in Mara City.
Task reward: 100 free points.
The task reward was also very low, and it wasn't a challenge for Link, so he took it by the way. After taking it, Link thought about it, and then walked towards the caravan he was following.
The city of Mara is just 40 kilometers away, and the next destination of the caravan is Mara city, so he happened to use his identity to sneak into the city.
