Red Leaf Valley
"Gridan, pack up the spoils, and then we will return the same way." Link ordered.
This kind of strenuous work, of course, is done by followers. Yake was injured and couldn't move much, but Gridan was unscathed, so he ran to collect the leather armor and weapons from the syndicate thieves.
After Link released an elemental treatment to Yake, he sat with his back against the big tree to rest, recalling the details of the battle and reflecting on his own shortcomings.
This is a habit he developed in the previous game. Isn't there a saying that a saint fighter will not be knocked down twice by the same move
Although Link is not a holy fighter and has not been knocked down, he can never be perfect in battle, and there are always shortcomings of one kind or another. He tries to ensure that he does not make the same mistakes.
"My current upper limit of mana is still too low. Even if I continue to add free points, the upper limit of mana is still only 148 points. It is used to release level 0 and level 1 magic. You need at least 20 points of mana, at least 60 points for level 3, and even 120 points for higher levels. Basically, I will use up one or two magic points. This time I was attacked by a senior magician, and the situation is very dangerous. I have to find A quick way to replenish mana."
There are less than two months left in his weak magic state. When he returns to full strength, the upper limit of magic will reach 1480 points, which is equivalent to the level of a 4th-level magician. It is already very high, so there is no need to continue for the time being The free points are spent on the upper limit of mana, the best way is to find a way to replenish mana.
"Magic energy recovery potion is one way. I'll prepare some when I go back, but I still can't drink too much of this medicine because it has too many side effects. The magic that restores magic power should be good."
Link remembered that there was a level 4 mysterious magic called 'Magic Torrent', which cost about 50 points of energy. After using it, it could recover at least 80% of the magic energy in a short time.
He thought it was time to save some free points to learn this magic.
There is another problem with today's fight.
Although he won in the end, the victory was a bit of a fluke. In the end, if Ender was not so impulsive, he would hide behind a tree and wait for five minutes, Yake would not be able to withstand the blow of the crystal giant, and Yake would be lost. In the face of the crystal giant's level 4 magic attack, Link may still be able to kill Ender, but the probability of success will be greatly reduced.
'Today's battle is too risky, always take risks, and accidents will always happen. '
Link doesn't like this kind of fighting style very much. As a magician, he likes to control the rhythm of the battle. If he can't do this, he must always have his own cards to deal with emergencies.
It's really not a good thing to play all the cards like today.
Link thought of today's magician opponent again.
"That dark elf, he has been looking for the magic rune. It seems that he has been secretly implementing the plan to rescue Taluvis. He will definitely not be reconciled to the lost magic rune this time, and he will come to me in the future .”
Link didn't know that dark elf, but they had just fought to death. In the confrontation of magic, Link roughly got a sense of the dark elf's character.
"This man, like most magicians, doesn't like to fight head-on. He likes to plan before he can take control of the situation. He set up a trap. If I step on it, I'm probably finished right away, and there is no room for counterattack."
Thinking of the trap, Link stood up, greeted Yake and Grindan, and then went to look for the trap left by the previous magician.
He re-buffed the aura detection technique for himself, and followed the escape route of the Syndicate thieves all the way to find it. This time, he was relaxed and observed very carefully, but when he walked halfway up the mountain, he finally found a trace of the trap. Clue.
This trace of abnormality is very, very small. In the tense battle, if one is negligent, or has any luck, he will definitely be hit.
Link walked forward cautiously, following the abnormality of the spiritual light, he finally saw the trap. It was a flat rock, and some weeds were roughly covered on the surface of the rock. When the weeds were gently pulled away, the surface of the rock appeared. A circular array of runes glowing with silver-cyan shimmer appeared.
It's a rune magic!
Rune magic is a common name. To be precise, it should be a superb spellcasting technique. It is a magic method that solidifies the magic structure on the rune array and then imprints it on a relatively flat surface in a short time. .
Link carefully observed the arrangement of the rune structures on the stone, felt the extremely subtle elemental power overflowing from it, and finally recognized this magic.
"It turned out to be Chain Lightning!" Link gasped.
chain lightning
Level 3 Lightning Magic
Function: The power of lightning attacks the target. If there are other targets within three meters around the target, the lightning will automatically jump. After jumping five times in a row, the magic will lose its attack effect.
(Note: Do not stand together, or they will all be burnt.)
Level 3 lightning magic has a very powerful attack power. If Link steps on it, he and Yake and others will be directly roasted into charcoal by this magic. He should be able to last for a while, but under the siege of the syndicate thieves and the level 4 magician, he could not escape death.
Seeing this magic, Link became more and more frightened: "The opponents I met are getting stronger and more powerful, and the magician is not very good today. I won by luck, and it may not be the next time. I have to do some tricks." Life-saving magic weapon!"
So far, his way of dealing with attacks has been relying on his own predictions, or substituting offense for defense. This method is very dangerous, and if he makes a mistake, he will bid farewell to this world.
But it takes time to cast spells. When encountering sudden accidents, such as this trap, such as an assassin's sneak attack, he may not have time to cast spells at all. Therefore, those magic equipment that can store magic and can be cast almost instantly at critical moments are very useful.
"After I go back, I will find a way to learn alchemy and enchanting, and start making magic tools for myself!"
Magic equipment is the best to use if you make it yourself. He learns magic very quickly, and since that's the case, he doesn't mind adding some learning tasks for himself.
At this time, Gridan had already sorted out the booty. There was a big bag full of leather armor and daggers. Although the leather armor was damaged, it was made of good materials. The daggers were all intact, and they were all anti-magic equipment. They should be able to sell. good price.
"Okay, let's go back, and if we think about it, we will meet General Anderson on the way."
The three of them returned along the original road. After walking for about five minutes, there were a lot of chaotic footsteps ahead, mixed with some voices. Less than half a minute later, a heavily armed knight came from a Walking out from behind a dense bush, it was Anderson, the knight of the kingdom.
Behind him, followed by the militia captain of Hegu Town, Yaksa, and many militiamen appeared later. Link counted, there were about 200 people, and it is estimated that all the militiamen of Hegu Town had been recruited.
Anderson obviously rushed over at full speed, and his shiny armor was covered with stains. When he saw Link, he looked him up and down first, and he was relieved to see that there were no injuries on his body.
It’s good that he wasn’t injured. After seeing him, Princess Anne’s first request was for him to advance at full speed to assist Link and ensure Link’s life safety. If something happened to Link, although she would not ask the blame, but in the future he will be in the kingdom. His future will be ruined.
Now that Link is fine, he felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. He asked, "Your Excellency Link, how is the situation?"
Link needed these militiamen to help him search for the Syndicate's lair, and he introduced the situation very cooperatively at this time: "The leader of the Syndicate and its elite members have been killed by me and my followers, but a magician escaped. I wounded this magician and saw his blood. His blood had a dark purple luster, which told me that this guy was a dark elf, and I thought he might have fled back to the Syndicate lair now."
Hearing that the dark elves appeared, Anderson was taken aback. Since the Greenstone incident, anything related to the dark elves will attract great attention.
Some time ago, King Ryan personally ordered to wipe out all the dark elves in Norton Kingdom directly. Now, the Syndicate has actually got involved with the dark elves.
"It's really a dead end!" Anderson exhaled softly. No matter how strong the Syndicate's relationship in Hot Spring City is, this time, this organization will definitely be uprooted!
Anderson asked again: "Your Excellency Link, can you still fight?"
To deal with the magician, it depends on the magician. He hopes that Link can go with him to search for the syndicate's lair.
After thinking for a while, Link shook his head: "I'm almost out of magic power now. How about this, I'll rest first, and when you find the syndicate's lair, don't rush to attack, come to River Valley Town to find me first."
Although he has an investigation mission, the southern area of Gwent Forest is huge, and the address of the Syndicate branch is very secretive. It won't be found in a short while, so he doesn't have to follow it all the time.
Seeing that Link and his followers looked tired, Andussen nodded in agreement: "That's it, then, go back and rest first. I will send someone to notify you immediately if there is any situation."
Then, he turned his head and said to the militia captain beside him: "Jacsa, let's go, let's search the lair of those thieves!"
It was Princess Anne's order to destroy the Syndicate, and the dark elves were involved at this time. Well done, it is a great credit, and Anderson is very caring.
His attitude made Link feel a little relieved. From this point of view, the Syndicate should not pose much threat to him and the Flamingo Mercenary Team. The only one who knows the inside story is the dark elf magician.
'When you find the clue, chase him all the way and kill him! '
Link thought so in his heart, and at the same time gave way to the side of the road. When Andersen led the militia group over, he said to Yake and Gridan: "Let's go, let's go back and get enough energy first."
"Yes, my lord."
