Robin turned his head and looked back, Kelly and the others could no longer be seen from this position.
The mountain collapse just now buried nearly two hundred undead. Although it couldn't kill them completely, it could at least break their bones and tendons so that they could no longer pose a threat to Kelly and the others. If there is no outflanking from front to back, the companions behind should have more hope of escaping.
Thinking of this, Robin couldn't help but glanced at Qin Lun at the back of the team. This month, the elf prince was becoming more and more difficult for her to see through. In retrospect, he played a role in the envoys encountering danger several times and finally being able to turn the corner.
It was her plan to turn from Ankhape to the Alamer Mountains, but the person who really convinced Mileras to go by sea was the Elf Prince of the Moon.
In Iron Star Fort, everyone only remembers that he severely injured the newt, but that was the result of everyone's joint efforts after all, and it didn't attract enough attention. Thinking about it now, Robin found that the moon elf prince played much more than that.
He reminded everyone that the furnace area was connected to the underground volcano, and helped to find the upward fork; when he encountered the giant newt, he also hinted that everyone had been discovered by the newt with a keen sense of smell. Without his reminder, the outcome of the battle between everyone and the newt would be hard to predict.
It was the same this time, again at a critical moment, he drove Elistine to cause the mountain to collapse, allowing everyone to achieve the goal of breaking out. It's just that what he does is not obvious, and it is often just a suggestion, not the one who plays the decisive role, so people will ignore him if they don't pay attention.
Is this really just a role that an elf mercenary who has traveled abroad can play? Robin's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly suppressed the strong doubts in his heart. Now is not the time to get to the bottom of it, they have more important things to do.
After breaking through the interception of more than 300 undead, Qin Lun and the others finally had a smooth road ahead. Although there are still scattered undead behind him, they can no longer hinder them.
Qin Lun flied among the rocks with the unconscious Elisteen in his arms, followed by a few little tails, Mirelas, Lorraine, and the magic apprentice El entrusted to him by Angelo.
Qin Lun hadn't observed El carefully before, and the magic apprentice was hidden behind Angelo, so it really didn't attract much attention. Qin Lun's perverted memory ability played a vital role at this time. Looking back now, El has shown good cultivation and etiquette in his daily life, and he is undoubtedly a son of a nobleman.
Another point is more strange. Angelo seems not to care much about teaching El, and often just let the apprentice read books by himself, learning various linguistics and continental history.
The profession of a magician requires a rich reserve of knowledge, and it is understandable for Angelo to do so. But if you think about it carefully, the problem will come out. Learning languages and history can be done completely at home. Now it's time to travel and adventure, shouldn't the mage guide El to practice magic more and let him strengthen his self-defense ability
Contacting Angelo at the critical moment just now, he didn't care about his own fate or the situation of the team, and only performed astrology for El alone, which shows that the identity of this apprentice is very doubtful.
El should not be Angelo's apprentice, nor his descendants, otherwise Angelo would seriously teach him magic. The relationship between the two looks more like the relationship between the guard and the employer? No, one step closer, Angelo regards El's safety as more important than his own life, otherwise he would not stay behind.
Qin Lun rolled his eyes, and the corner of his eyes reflected El. The boy's body was a little thin, and his lips were tightly pursed at this time, his face was a little pale, with a slight worry in his expression, he turned his head from time to time to look in the direction of the group of people behind him, he seemed to be worried about Angelo's safety.
The apostles were running very fast, and only Lorraine and him in the team were struggling to keep up. Although his forehead was covered with cold sweat, the boy still didn't say a word, and staggered behind everyone, trying to keep a visual distance from everyone. But judging from his appearance, it seems that his physical strength can't keep up, and it is estimated that he will fall behind with Lorraine soon.
As for Lorraine, it's not because of lack of physical strength, but because of short legs. There was no way to do that, with the short stature of a dwarf, he was not good at running by nature.
"Longer, you and Perth go help those two boys. If you can escape, try to keep the tasks on them." Qin Lun withdrew his gaze and secretly sent a voice transmission to Longer.
"Well, I got it!" Longer's eyes flashed, and he asked in surprise, "Does that El also have a mission?"
"It's just my guess, I'm not sure yet!" Qin Lun replied with a chuckle.
Longer nodded, without asking any more questions, he turned his head and greeted Perth, and the two jumped to the side of the two teenagers after a few ups and downs, grabbed their arms and ran forward.
El glanced at Longer beside him in surprise, suddenly remembered something, looked up at Qin Lun, and immediately met the young man with a meaningful smile. El trembled slightly, lowered his head, and stopped looking at Qin Lun.
When the mercenary group encountered the undead in the valley, they had already traveled three quarters of the valley. As Qin Lun and the others got closer to the inside of the valley, the road under their feet also began to widen, and it was no longer as narrow as before.
"Hey, what's that?" Turning another corner of the mountain, Robin suddenly looked ahead and stopped in horror.
At a glance, at the corner tens of meters away from them, a cloud of black smoke blocked the passage. This cloud of black mist seemed to have a life of its own, slowly churning in the valley.
"Undead magic—dark sky fog!" Philip looked at the black mist and said coldly, "It seems that we have arrived. If there is really the undead magician that Filar mentioned, then it should be hidden inside."
"Is there any way to disperse such a large area of dark sky fog?" Robin asked with a frown. They broke into the depths of the valley instead of retreating, not only to find a way out, but also to catch the undead. The main messenger of the event, bargaining with the undead, otherwise Kelly and the others who are in charge of the end are still very dangerous.
"I can only do my best!" Philip sighed, took out a golden scroll from the storage space, and looked at the black mist in front of him with a cloudy expression.
"Ninth-order magic scroll?!" Robin raised his eyebrows looking at the scroll, pondered for a moment, and then said decisively, "The cost of casting this scroll is also half of the price lost."
Hearing this, Philip secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This scroll is not his private property, it is the public property of the fortress team. In fact, every mature team like Fortress will prepare some treasures for the finale, so that the team can fight back when it encounters danger.
Except for this ninth-order scroll, the finale of the Fortress team was basically used up in the last mission world. This scroll was preserved because of its special function.
The value of each high-level scroll is very high. Just like Qin Lun, most of the magic scrolls purchased are intermediate magic scrolls of the fifth or sixth order. There are almost no high-level magic scrolls on the market.
The ninth-level magic scroll is even more precious, just think about the ninth-level magic "Descent from the Tree World" owned by Qin Lun. This kind of powerful magic can almost turn a battle over, and its value is difficult to measure.
With Robin's assurance, Philip stopped hesitating immediately and tore off the scroll in his hand with a pull of both hands. As soon as the scroll was opened, the mage immediately threw the scroll towards the dark fog in front of him, as if he was holding a hot potato instead of a precious high-level magic scroll.
"Ah!" Even though the magic scroll was out of his hands, Philip still squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, with veins on his forehead, as if he was enduring great pain.
A magic scroll has its own characteristics. It is true that it can store magic, but to cast the magic in the scroll and guide it, it still requires the spiritual power of the apostle to control it. Of course, this kind of mind control is easier than casting real ninth-level magic, after all, the entire magic has been completely constructed in the scroll.
With Philip's mental strength, he can control the eighth-level magic scroll, but the ninth-level magic scroll is still a little weak, and he will inevitably be in a state of mental backlash.
The magic scroll was thrown high into the dark mist, and then everyone saw a ball of light projected from the depths of the black mist. Compared with the black mist that covered the entire valley, this group of bright lights seemed insignificant, but it was like this, but it still gave everyone a creepy feeling.
"Close your eyes!" Qin Lun's expression changed, and he shouted at Mileras and the others behind him. He turned his head away without hesitation, and tightly closed his eyes.
Just when everyone turned their backs, Philip squatting on the ground yelled, foamed at the mouth and passed out. At the same time, the spots of light in the depths of the black mist blazed brightly, expanding from a single spark to an incomparably bright scorching sun in an instant.
Ninth-order light magic - shining sun!
Even with his eyes closed, Qin Lun still felt the unbearable pain under his eyelids, the tears poured out uncontrollably, and his eyes were completely white.
"Woo..." There was a painful roar from the valley, and the dark sky fog that was as black as ink melted like ice and snow, and disappeared under the magic of the light system.
Guangyaoyanyang has such characteristics. As a ninth-level magic, its attack power is not too great, but it is the nemesis of nemesis for certain dark magics. This is also the reason why this ninth-order scroll was kept by the fortress team. There was no occasion for it to be used in the last mission world.
After a while, Qin Lun felt better, and then opened his eyes, looking forward.
They guessed right, they went around the corner of the valley in front of them and reached the innermost part of the valley. The valley in front of them was an open space, just as Boni Knight said at the beginning, it was surrounded by cliffs close to ninety degrees, and there was no passage leading to other places at all.
However, at this time, everyone understood why these undead appeared here, and in just a few hours, the Boni Knight encountered more than a hundred undead, and the number increased to over a thousand.
"Teleportation array?! So Boni said that the ruins are an ancient teleportation array!" Robin stared at the front in disbelief.
