Zhang Mu lit up the cigarette and took a puff. A strange sense of joy penetrated into his spirit, which made his pessimism dissipate a lot. Zhang Mu passed the cigarette to Lei Ming, who took a few puffs and passed it to others. This magic tobacco is a good thing. It not only relaxes the mood, but also makes people feel energetic.
Adjust your state, pick up your weapons, and start exploring the secret realm.
Kill the illusionist Shirley, and the plot progress reaches 25%. Shirley is an insignificant little BOSS. Killing or not killing it will not affect the overall situation. No matter how important it is, being a plot monster will always have some promotion effect on the plot.
Sun Lin walked to the boy and said as gently as possible: "Jin, don't be sad anymore, we should leave."
The boy raised his head, his face was as pale as paper, and his pupils were faintly bursting with a strange scarlet color.
Sun Lin suddenly felt surrounded by a strong wave of malice.
"gold?"
The boy suddenly returned to normal, with a dazed look on his face, stood up and whispered: "Sister Shirley is beautiful and very popular. I also like her very much. Why..." As he said, he shook his head and turned around to walk towards the others. .
Sun Lin looked at the boy's back and murmured to herself... Was the weird feeling just now an illusion
The room became a mess, with books and scrolls falling all over the floor. Zhang Mu found a thick book, which was not like a magic book. When he focused his attention on it, text introduction appeared around it. It turned out to be something with properties.
[Shirley's Diary](plot item)
Zhang Mu has challenged the mage's castle several times. As one of the mini-boss, Shirley has killed it with the team. The diary has never been found... There is an opportunity for this item to appear. If a few people kill it from the lobby at the beginning Come in, even if you come to kill Shirley, I'm afraid the diary won't show up.
The contents of the diary are very boring. They are either experiences and insights from learning magic or trivial matters in daily life.
For example: the teacher takes the students to explore a certain ruins. Someone failed to practice and was put in solitary confinement by the teacher. So-and-so and so-and-so were jealous of her again, fighting and so on. Although we know that everything in the secret realm is fiction, the little bits and pieces of the girl's life still resonate with people. When looking at the broken corpse in the corner, you can't help but feel a little sad.
Zhang Mu didn't have the patience or time, so he turned to the end.
July 2nd.
"Teacher Victor is very happy today. There has been a breakthrough in the research on the broken magic documents brought back from the ruins last time. The teacher announced to us at the dinner that he is going to decide to conduct an experiment to verify his conjecture. If the experiment is successful, Yes, we will use endless demonic materials in the future..."
Broken magical documents
No further text!
Zhang Mu turned a few pages and found out that just a few days ago, the mage Victor took four students on an expedition to ancient magical ruins. Such adventure activities have been recorded before, but this time I experienced quite a lot of dangers, and in the end I gained a lot, including a large amount of precious magic information and the magic book "Hate and Death".
There is a description of this book.
"..."Hate and Death" is considered by the teacher to be a magic book of great research value. Most of the modern undead magic techniques for synthesizing hatred are imperfect. There is no soul, no will, just a pure killing tool. This book The synthesis method recorded in can actually synthesize a more perfect abomination. It even has a complete soul and is more powerful. It’s just that the process is too evil, so I won’t consider using it for the time being... "
Zhang Mu put the diary into his backpack.
"Tip: From Shirley's diary, you faintly discovered the secret of Victor's Castle. The incident is not as simple as imagined. The plot has made progress, and the plot is currently 27%!"
Zhang Mu did not show the diary to others and led the team to continue exploring.
Sun Lin thought for a long time alone and decided to tell the story. She secretly found an opportunity to tell Zhang Mu and Liu Shuiyan all about the abnormal situation she just saw.
Liu Shuiyan has been silent since she recovered from the illusion, with a face made of ice, making people afraid to come close. Now her expression finally changed. She stared at Jin who was disarming the magic trap in front of her and said: "You mean, there is something in his body." Another thing?”
Sun Lin nodded: "Although I'm not sure, there must be something wrong. Shirley is a very powerful illusionist. The other apprentices and the mage himself are probably also very powerful beings. As a result, all of them encountered unexpected events, but the weakest survived. It's a bit It’s unreasonable. There is an evil existence inside Jin’s body, but for some reason, it has not been released.”
Liu Shuiyan frowned slightly and thought it made sense: "This is a time bomb! Mu Mu, what do you think?"
It's a bit strange that Liu Shuiyan takes the initiative to ask other people's opinions!
Zhang Mu cleared his throat and said, "Well, actually, about this... I've discovered it a long time ago!"
"Have you discovered it a long time ago?"
"Come closer."
Zhang Mu secretly took out the truth mirror and looked at the boy. The boy was shrouded in a dark atmosphere from head to toe. This kind of power cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can be seen through the mirror of truth. It is a very evil force full of evil thoughts.
"There is a kind of parasitic power in his body. It was there when the confinement room was first discovered, but it was very weak." Zhang Mu stuffed the mirror into his backpack, "But just now, there was a sudden explosive growth!"
Sun Lin couldn't believe it, "Will he turn into a ghost?"
"It's hard to say. On the surface, it's still the strength of an 11th-level mage, but when the hidden power is unleashed, it may not be much weaker than the one we just killed. I don't know if this hidden dangerous power will develop further."
"Kill it now!"
Liu Shuiyan is indeed ruthless.
Zhang Mu stopped him, "We still need to use him to break the trap. Besides, we are not yet sure in what way the power in his body will grow. Is it controllable or uncontrollable? Don't do anything until we understand the situation." . ”
When Master Victor took four students to explore the ruins, they must have encountered some kind of special accident.
Jin's abnormal state and even the fall of the castle are all related to this.
More than a dozen people slowly explored the castle. Although they encountered several monster attacks, they all survived without incident. Zhang Mu is certain that there are two types of monsters in the castle, one is undead and the other is demon.
"In front is the alchemy laboratory." Jin pointed to a secret room in front: "Ham is the teacher's third student. He was an outstanding alchemist before coming to the castle. He studied summoning magic for a period of time in the castle and was good at summoning blue. Perverts, be careful."
"The Blue Devil is the golden boss monster, a powerful magical monster. The old black magic defense is not high, Cheng Bo, you should be the auxiliary human shield!"
"no problem!"
Cheng Bo's profession is an exorcist. He has a decent health volume, high magic defense, and the ability to dispel spells. He is most suitable for those who resist magic.
The alchemy laboratory is quite large, filled with various bottles and jars. Rows of glass test tubes contain liquids of different colors. A fat man stands in the middle. He is Ham, the third disciple of the Magic Castle, who is good at alchemy. Summoner of magic.
[Hamm, Summoner of Despair] (plot monster), level 20 demon, life 5300, magic 4200, attributes? ? ? ,Skill? ? ? , Introduction: The third disciple of the reclusive mage Victor, who is good at summoning spells.
Lei Ming went up to hold the hatred at the beginning of the battle, and Ham immediately used the summoning spell to summon a blue devil. The Blue Devil is a demon monster with very powerful spell attacks. Lei Ming lost half of his health after being hit twice. Fortunately, Cheng Bo came up in time to share the pressure and was able to barely block the attack.
The Summoner's summoned beasts are often extremely powerful, but they are very fragile. When the Blue Devil is entangled, others have already been prepared, with melee and long-range cooperation, and two joint attacks. Ham fell to the ground and died. The lustful devil turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
The plot progress increased by 5% and has become 32%!
The little boy Jin's eyes were dull, with red light flashing in his eyes. He looked at Ham on the ground, and said sadly and painfully, "Ham was born as a wandering mage, but he is very talented, humorous, and likes to do tricks, which makes the serious castle become... Active, even the teacher likes him, why..."
Zhang Mu escaped from the truth mirror and secretly looked at the crying little boy.
It's shocking, the power is even more powerful!
It turns out that the two explosive growth occurred after killing the plot monster.
That thing has the ability to absorb the power of plot monsters
There are now 2 BOSS left in the castle, a minor BOSS, the chief disciple of the reclusive mage Victor. The other is the main BOSS, that is Master Victor himself. The former can still be dealt with, but the latter is extremely powerful, especially under the enhanced land reclamation mode. You must fight carefully, otherwise you will be in danger of destroying the entire group.
My mind was racing.
Have an idea.
Zhang Mu remained calm and walked towards the hall under the leadership of Jin. The hall was vast and decorated with splendor, but the walls and floor were covered with blood and minced meat, almost like the graffiti of a mental patient. After clearing out the surrounding mobs, I finally encountered the last mini-boss, which was also the strongest among the mini-bosses.
[Elemental Master Chris of Resentment] (plot monster), level 22 demon, life 7600, magic 6400, attributes? ? ? ,Skill? ? ? , Introduction: Chris is the eldest disciple of the reclusive mage Victor, and has learned the true story of Victor.
Lei Ming frowned and said, "Is he an elemental mage this time?"
Leng Yun clenched her long staff and said, "If we come in from the hall, I'm afraid he will be the first one we meet!"
Jin stared at Chris in the middle of the hall and introduced him in a sad tone: "Chris is the teacher's eldest disciple and the only disciple who inherits the teacher's mantle. The teacher treats him like his own son..."
Zhang Mu walked over and asked the little boy: "Jin, what day is it today?"
"Probably July 27th." Jin frowned, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Mu nodded, no longer doubting it, and gave the mourning dog a look.
