To set out to fight, naturally prepare well.
Yake and others checked the weapons and equipment, and brought some handy gadgets.
As for Link, because of the space pendant, he prepared more thoroughly. In the pendant, he put all kinds of things to deal with accidents, and even clear water and bread to prevent being trapped.
Time stood still in the pendant space, so he didn't worry that the food would be contaminated by the magic runes.
At the same time, he also brought more than 20 magic scrolls. These scrolls were written by him in his spare time. The above records are all 0-level and 1-level magic, mainly auxiliary magic, in order to save his magic energy. .
With these scrolls, it is equivalent to indirectly increasing Link's upper limit of mana. Finally, Link also brought a bottle of low-level mana recovery potion.
But this potion was bought from Verola. A bottle cost Link 20 gold coins. Drinking a bottle can restore 100 mana in an instant.
It can be said that this series of preparations has greatly made up for the shortcomings of Link's lack of upper limit of magic power.
Soon, Link and the others got ready, and General Anderson cleaned himself up. After eating and drinking, he looked much more energetic.
"Let's go." Link said.
Anderson glanced at the magic weapon held by Yake and others, with some surprise in his eyes, but he was a polite and decent nobleman after all, so he resisted asking more questions.
Along the way, he briefed Link on the situation.
"The lair of the thieves is too secretive, and there are even illusions around them. I searched back and forth in the mountains and forests for a long time, and by chance I caught a syndicate thief, and then I found the location. It was a cave, hidden in a In the canyon, the situation inside is very strange, after finding the place, we dare not act rashly, so I will rush back to find you."
He changed to an honorific title for Link, and when he spoke, there was a fright in his eyes. Obviously, he was frightened by something in the canyon before.
Yake on the side asked everyone's doubts: "What kind of weird method?"
Anderson recalled what he saw at the time, and his face subconsciously became dignified: "After I found the canyon, I personally led a team of militiamen into the canyon to investigate the situation, but as soon as I entered the canyon less than 20 meters away, I felt that someone was in my mind. Talking is the kind of voice that confuses people's minds, like the whispers of demons. As soon as I was about to quit, a militiaman went crazy. His eyes were red and he looked hideous. He attacked the people around him like a beast. I dare not In the process, at least three militiamen fell into madness, and we had to kill them. When we exited the valley, I looked back and saw those militiamen who were killed and fell to the ground , and stood up again staggeringly... Oh, Lord of Radiance, I bet there is a necromancer hidden in the valley!"
The more Andussen spoke, the more frightened he became. After speaking, his voice became high-pitched unconsciously, and the frightened look in his eyes was so intense that he was really frightened.
Link frowned, released a spiritual light detection technique on himself, and looked at Anderson carefully.
Immediately, Andersen showed aura, the most intense is cyan, he is a level 4 knight of the kingdom, and he cultivates the wind-type combat spirit, so the wind-type aura is very strong, but on the outer layer of this rich brilliance, it is stained with a There was a layer of faint black aura, these auras revolved around Anderson, showing the appearance of a skeleton from time to time, as if alive.
This kind of vision shows that Anderson has been hit by a curse-type black magic, but because of his own strength, this black magic did not cause substantial damage to him except for slightly affecting his mind.
During this period of time, although Link was learning magic, he also did not forget to learn new magic. Occasionally, when he changed his mind, he would read the magic book Verola sent him, and learned two more new magic when he found time .
One is a level 2 guardian enchantment. The other is level 1 dispel.
Of course, because the time is limited, this is all ordinary magic, and there are no super magic skills blessed, but it is enough for this time.
Dispel magic requires very little mana. Level 1 ordinary magic generally consumes about 6 points of energy, but dispel only requires 3 points. Link's current upper limit of mana is 148 points, and it is still full, so he Pointing at Anderson with the wand in his hand, he released the dispel.
A bright spot gushed out from the tip of the wand, followed by a strip of clear water. This bright spot rushed to the top of Andersen's head, then swirled upwards and downwards until it reached Anderson's feet. The bright spot disappeared.
Using the aura detection technique, the black aura on Anderson's body has disappeared without a trace. From this point of view, the level of this curse is not high, only level 1. It is of course powerful against ordinary militiamen, but It's of little use to experts.
Anderson's feeling was also very obvious. Under the effect of magic, he felt the haze in his heart suddenly disappeared. Originally, he was like a frightened bird. When he rushed back all the way, everything he saw was pale. In the dark shadows, it feels like some ghosts will jump out of the darkness.
But now, he saw the bright sunshine in the Gwent forest in the morning, the melodious singing of his brain, the fresh air and the crystal dew. null.
"Feeling better?" Link asked with a smile.
"It's like being born again." Anderson laughed easily.
Link then explained: "If I'm not wrong, there is a black magic circle in the valley, and the life that enters it will be cursed. As for the resurrection of the dead you mentioned, it may be an illusion in the valley, but it may also be It is the effect of necromancer magic, and I will not be able to judge the specifics until I see it with my own eyes."
Anderson immediately asked, "Can that be broken?"
"Once the cause is determined, it will definitely be resolved." Link said easily.
In fact, he knew that the reason for the resurrection of the dead in the valley was not necromancer magic or illusions, but god-like magic, the power from the altar of the shadow walker Morpheus.
Morpheus is a legendary peak powerhouse who has touched the realm of the gods. At this time, he is preparing to become a god, so altars are built everywhere in the Syndicate. The thieves in the Syndicate are basically followers of Morpheus. Their beliefs indeed provide Morpheus with Some power, but Morpheus is not a god after all, so this power can't really be used by him, but stays in the altar and becomes an evil power that transforms the altar guards.
There is nothing terrible about this kind of magic, it only targets the dead and has little effect on the living. As long as the altar is destroyed, everything will disappear.
Because of this, Link is easy.
Link is an expert in magic. Anderson had seen the battlefield between him and the elite syndicate thieves before, and experienced the miraculous effect of the dispel technique before. He was already convinced in his heart.
The group of people was not slow on their way. After walking for about four hours, a group of people, led by Anderson, arrived at the canyon where the syndicate's lair was located.
There is a camp at the mouth of the canyon. At least the general militiamen in Hegu Town are here. The number of people is more than 100. The militia leader Yakesa is also here.
After Andussen arrived, he found Yaksa immediately: "Is there something wrong in the valley?"
Yakesa was in a bad state, his face was pale, his eyes were blood red, and he was also troubled by the curse. Hearing this, he shook his head: "It has been very peaceful since last night, just like the cemetery."
Yaksa is a level 3 fighter, and he is also a good combat power. Link has recovered the mana he spent before, so he spent another 3 points of mana to dispel the curse for Yaksa.
Then, he looked towards the canyon ahead.
Compared with the game, this canyon is much more imposing. The cliffs on both sides are at least more than one hundred meters high, and the canyon passage between the cliffs is only five or six meters wide. The gloomy atmosphere, coupled with the cover of the cliff, the sun can't shine in at all.
From here, the entire canyon looks dark and gloomy, and there is the sound of wind like ghosts crying from time to time, which makes this canyon look like the entrance to an abyss and hell.
The camp was a little far away from the entrance of the canyon, and it was hard to see clearly, so Link said to Anderson, "I need to take a closer look, general, captain, you are not affected by the curse, come with me to take a look?"
The other militiamen are all first-level fighters, preferably no more than second-level, and it is difficult to resist the curse, but Anderson and Yaksa are no problem, and his three followers are also no problem.
With level 3 fighting spirit, he can naturally resist the level 1 curse.
Anderson nodded in agreement. As for Yaksa, of course he listened to Anderson, so a group of six people walked towards the canyon together.
On the way, Link turned on the aura detection. In his eyes, the entire canyon was filled with thick black air. However, although the black air was thick, the detection technique also told him that the concentration of the black air was only level 1. .
When he reached the mouth of the canyon, Link would enter the canyon without hesitation, and his three followers would follow without saying a word, but Anderson was a little apprehensive: "Mr. Link?"
"It's okay, follow me." Link had already entered the canyon.
Anderson and Jaksa could only grit their teeth and keep up.
After entering the canyon, Link immediately realized what Anderson said was whispering like a devil. He felt someone talking in his mind. He listened carefully, but couldn't hear the specific content. Leave it alone, but Feeling someone blowing on your neck from behind you is terrifying.
Except for Link, everyone else couldn't help shrinking their necks, and their eyes showed fear. Even Yake, who had always been steady, couldn't help swallowing, and his steps hesitated.
"It's a curse of fear, don't pay attention to it, it's just a trick to pretend to be a ghost." Link was not affected at all, and walked firmly to the place where the black air was thickest.
Seeing that the thinnest magician was so bold, the others could only grit their teeth and follow him.
After walking for more than forty meters, suddenly there was a whistling sound in front of him. When Yake heard it, he immediately said, "Be careful of backstabbing!"
He immediately raised his shield in front of Link.
With a sound of 'Dang', the arrow was blocked by the shield, leaving only an insignificant white spot on the shield.
Although the canyon's line of sight was extremely poor, Gridan still saw the attacker immediately, and shot with his bow. There was a sound of 'collapse', a reddish light flashed, and a scream came from the rock wall beside the canyon. Then there was a 'bang', and a figure fell down. This was obviously the secret whistle of the Syndicate.
"Look, you can be shot to death, or you can still be alive." Link said in a timely manner.
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they are living people, they are all powerful fighters for living people.
But soon, Link witnessed the so-called resurrection of the dead.
I saw the syndicate thief who was shot to death before falling off the cliff began to struggle on the ground. After about ten seconds, he really stood up from the ground, but because he fell from a high place, his body suffered multiple fractures and twisted in many places. The ground is not in human form, but such a guy actually stood up, which is even more terrifying.
Anderson yelled in shock, "Look, he's alive again!"
It is very strange that the corpse that got up again did not attack them, but turned around and walked towards the depths of the canyon. Although he staggered, his speed was very fast, and he quickly disappeared in front of Link and the others. In view.
"My lord, what should we do now?" Jake asked softly, the situation was so fucking weird.
There was no trace of fear on Link's face, and he pointed his wand towards the depths of the canyon: "Go deeper and find the cursed magic circle first!"
"..." Everyone was speechless. Doesn't this young magician know how to be afraid
But Link had already moved forward, and they had to bite the bullet and follow this daring magician.
