A few days later, Renn and his treasure hunting team came to the seemingly unremarkable clearing.
The traces of their excavations had not completely disappeared, so this time they were able to find the exact place without even positioning. Of course, Ren didn't need to do the hard work. The subordinates who brought the treasure hunt bravely moved forward without waiting for his orders. They waved their shovels quickly and soon dug a deep pit into the ground. .
When the magic circle at the bottom of the pit was finally dug out, the subordinates couldn't help but cheer.
Renn was not in such a hurry to be happy. He asked his men to get out of the way and asked the mage to check the damage to the magic circle.
"The damage is not serious." After careful inspection, the mage affirmed, "It can be repaired, but it will take some time."
Time, they have plenty of it. For this treasure hunt, they had prepared enough supplies to live in the wild for a month, and now they have used less than a quarter.
So the group of people stayed here, and the place where they lived was exactly the same camp where Gerald, Palin and Renn came to hunt for treasure.
With the yearning for wealth and the vision for a better future, the tired treasure hunters fell asleep.
But they didn't know that in the low sky not far above their heads, a huge floating jellyfish was watching them, smiling coldly.
In the treasure cave, Gerald and Palin were also sneering.
"It seems they think they've got us." Gerald said, "We've been underestimated. Haha."
His two hehes were really meaningful, and besides being sarcastic, they were also full of murderous intent.
The "bald" Nien in the past was a ruthless man who fought with the nobles' private soldiers in anger and even killed the leader of the other party. He had been wanted for so many years, and yet he was able to escape all the way to the four towns in the northwest, and was even able to hide safely in Baiye Village, despite having experienced many life-and-death battles.
Want his life? Then be prepared to be hacked to death by him first!
Palin didn't say anything, he just sneered and gently touched his beloved magic book. Since his resurrection from the dead, due to some reason that he cannot understand, his magic abilities have undergone strange changes. Some spells are completely unusable, some have been greatly weakened, but some spells have been inexplicably enhanced to the point of being completely unreasonable. situation.
There are not many spells recorded in his magic book. There are only two powerful spells tested. One is the cold ray. This spell is originally the lowest type of magic. It is usually used for entertainment performances. Its actual combat power is about It's better than nothing. But it was surprisingly powerful in his hands. He had once tested that a cold ray could completely freeze at least five or six feet of the ground. If it hit a person, he would probably be killed on the spot.
Another spell that has been enhanced is the Ice Dagger. This spell can summon a short dagger of ice. In addition to the physical attack, it also has a little cold attack. The power is only mediocre. You may hold an ordinary dagger and use a little more force when stabbing. , you can get better results. However, after being strengthened, what he summoned was a one-handed long sword made of ice. The blade was exaggeratedly sharp and the sword body was too strong. He once held the hilt of the sword with both hands and struck the rock wall next to him with a sharp sword. As a result, the ice sword was not damaged, but a small piece of the stone on the rock wall was chopped off. The fracture was extremely smooth, with a layer of frost condensation. Gerald reached out and touched it, and his entire palm was frozen on it. It took a while to thaw.
Palin already knew something about Gerald's ability to resist magic. The frost that can freeze such a big man will definitely freeze an ordinary person if it touches it, and it is not even sure whether he can save his life.
Unknowingly, he already had power that far exceeded what he had in life. This surprised the young mage, and he also had a more intuitive and personal experience of the incomparable power of His Majesty "Void Mask".
This amiable and easy-to-talk god not only possesses the mysterious and unspeakable power of resurrecting the dead, and can bring the body that has lost its soul back to life, and can speak and act indistinguishably from when he was alive, but he can also bestow such miraculous power on his believers, which is simply unbelievable!
"Perhaps... His Majesty's priesthood focuses on the two fields of 'life' and 'cold'?" He guessed so and made a report to Sui Xiong.
Sui Xiong did know what was going on: he absolutely could not have any "life" field, and the so-called "resurrection" method did not look like an orthodox method; however, the "ice" field was definitely correct, maybe Palin He became stronger precisely because he was affected by his own strength.
"If I want to seek to truly become a god, probably starting from the direction of ice and transforming the ice domain into an ice priesthood is the most reliable way..."
But the Ice Priesthood is not that easy to obtain. There is far more than one god who has this Priesthood. For example, the powerful God of Water Element has the Priesthood in this direction. Among the gods in the northern wasteland, more than one holds this priesthood.
Once you have this priesthood, you will inevitably have to deal with them. Those strong men who grew up in the cold wasteland and finally became gods are cruel and vicious in nature. If they cannot show enough power to make them retreat, what awaits Sui Xiong will be a group of gods gathering to attack him. .
At that time, those ferocious gods will swarm him like hungry wolves asking about the smell of blood, tear him to pieces and devour him!
This risk was also emphasized to him by Palin. Because the newly born gods were not strong enough, they were defeated, devoured, and all their divine power was divided up, and finally fell... This kind of thing happened more than once, and even a young mage with limited knowledge like him knew several examples.
Although Sui Xiong is quite confident in his own strength, it is naturally better not to take risks that he can avoid taking.
"My suggestion is that Your Majesty, you can find a good god to join. Although the good gods have more rules and you can't do things as you please, the gods watch and help each other, which is very helpful for the new gods. ” Palin suggested.
It's a pity that Palin is only a young low-level mage after all, and his knowledge is still too shallow. He racked his brains, but couldn't think of a kind god that could suit Sui Xiong.
In any case, his suggestions have greatly inspired Sui Xiong's thinking and given Sui Xiong a clearer understanding and positioning for the future. If nothing else goes wrong, once this matter is over, he will prepare to go south to the truly prosperous areas on the mainland, contact the Good God Church, and see with his own eyes which gods are more compatible with him and can make friends.
But before that, he must first punish Ren, a treacherous villain!
As for the thieves who followed Renn to hunt for treasures, he would not kill these people, but he could not avoid making these guys suffer a little, telling them to be more alert in the future, stop doing evil, and be honest and good people.
To this end, he also specially researched and developed a spell, which will surely be unforgettable for them!
Time passed in anticipation of both parties. A few days later, the mage who had given Ren high hopes finally repaired the teleportation circle and completely cracked it, so that it no longer restricted the teleporter's bloodline, no matter what. Everyone can come and go freely.
"This magic circle is a relatively old-fashioned type. It was very popular about five hundred years ago, but it is no longer available." He said a bit show off, "This kind of magic structure has now been eliminated. The main reason is It's easy to crack. I don't know who designed this magic circle in the first place? Judging from the technique, this senior mage's level is not low, maybe a little higher than mine - it's a pity, time is the most powerful weapon. For reliance For mages who fight with knowledge rather than brute force, backwardness in knowledge is the real backwardness!”
As he spoke, he took out a gem containing a large amount of magic power and activated the magic circle.
Light green light flowed out like water waves, covering the selected vanguard who were responsible for the first batch of rushing into the treasure cave, and teleported into the cave.
Waiting for them was the hypnosis circle that Palin had already arranged and activated.
Blue-green light flashed, and each of the thieves became dizzy and drowsy before they could see their surroundings clearly. Even the only one who was lucky enough to block the hypnotic power of the magic circle was also sent to sleep by physical means by Palin, who was standing behind him, picked up his cane.
As for whether this guy will have a headache after waking up, no one knows.
The vanguard never returned, leaving the thieves deeply uneasy. So the mage cast a prophecy spell, hoping to use the spell to determine the life and death of the vanguard.
"They are all alive." After casting the spell, the mage said, "And they are still healthy... It seems that there is no special danger over there. Maybe there is something wrong with the trap."
As a result, the second batch of vanguards was teleported over.
Their encounter was naturally no different from the first batch, or even worse than the first batch. Palin, who was eager to try, raised his cane and wanted to try the effect of "physical hypnosis" again, but none of these enemies could withstand the spell. The power of hypnosis made him very disappointed.
There was no news from two groups of people in succession, and only the "safe" message was reported by magic, which made the thieves uneasy. Seeing this situation, both Ren and the mage understood that it was no longer possible to force these thieves who had lost their courage to take risks, so they simply cast a variety of protective spells on themselves, then activated the teleportation circle and went to the treasure cave to see what was going on. .
The light green light dissipated, and the two people appeared in the treasure cave. Although the power of the hypnotic circle immediately surrounded them tightly and tried to send them to sleep, in the face of the well-prepared defensive spells, Palin's very shallow spells could not have much effect and had no effect on them at all. Influence.
Seeing Gerald and Palin standing here safe and sound, and arranging a pincer attack one after another, Renn's expression suddenly changed. He smiled subconsciously, trying to confuse the two of them with words and buy time for the mage.
But Palin didn't give him this chance at all. He jumped up, picked up the wooden stick and hit him on the head hard.
With a bang, a pale white magic shield emerged, blocking the blow.
Gerald didn't attack. He didn't even take off the ax he was carrying. He just sneered and looked at Renn.
He is far more aware of Sui Xiong's power than Palin, and his enthusiasm for faith is beyond the reach of Palin, a mage. In his opinion, how to deal with these guys is all a matter for His Majesty the Mask of the Void. He only needs to wait for His Majesty to issue a ruling and then implement it.
"When you plotted against us, did you ever think that there would be such a result?" The ridicule echoed in the cave, "What should I call you? Renn? Or... the leader of the Thieves Guild of Huishite Town?" "
