Seeing the strange shape of the "Soul Prisoner Demon" that was beyond everyone's imagination, the members of the union fell into silence for a moment.
The appearance of this undead creature is completely different from the skeletons and zombies that everyone has seen before, and it is more like an alien.
If encountered in the wild, I am afraid that the first reaction would be to treat him as an enemy. How could he be transformed into a "teammate" so quickly
Especially when Zhao Xu had just wiped out a hundred goblins with two fireballs and killed the troll with two instant-death spells, no one dared to step forward and carefully examine the details of the "soul-prisoning demon".
At this time, after Shuangjian received a report from the Cage team that had just been sent to kill the remaining goblins, he knew that there was no problem in the rear.
He stood in front of Zhao Xu and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Guangfeng, may I ask why you summoned this undead creature?"
Just now, he just begged Zhao Xu to release spells such as "Spider Web" to temporarily delay the trolls' actions.
Who would have thought that Zhao Xu could directly wipe out all the trolls with three strikes, five by five, and two. There was even a dull sound in the jungle, and even the trolls lurking there were killed.
So at this moment, he looked at Zhao Xu more like he was seeing a life-saving rope.
Zhao Xu looked at Shuang Jian calmly at this time and asked: "Do you think this journey will still be smooth?"
Zhao Xu's voice was not loud, but it was enough to penetrate all the players in the Watcher's Union present.
Everyone's face became a little uncertain, and those who reacted faster looked at Shuang Jian, the president of the union present.
Shuang Jian's face also darkened at this time.
When he saw the three trolls appearing, he could still convince himself that it was just a misunderstanding.
But when the goblin troops appeared later, the opponent deliberately cooperated with the trolls to detour and outflank them, which was enough to explain a lot.
These union players are not those caravans that escort huge amounts of supplies, nor are they a sparse group of adventurers with two or three kittens.
They are a large adventure team of forty people, all equipped with basic armors, weapons, and even magic equipment. They are very intimidating, and most wild creatures will not bite them if they have nothing to do.
Moreover, the players are now projections. If the goblins beat them to death, they will become nothingness, and they may not even be able to get their weapons.
This shows that they are being targeted.
The only thing on Shuang Jian's body that deserves attention at the moment is the map of the location of the mage tower buried at the bottom of the lake.
This shows that they obtained the map of the Mage Tower from the deceased mage's descendant, and this matter itself is no longer confidential.
A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.
It's not a problem for a dozen-level adventure team to hold this secret.
But a group of first- and second-level adventurers hold this secret, which is enough to attract attention.
At this time, Shuangjian lowered his head and kept thinking.
If the ruins of the mage tower can be found in the end, according to Arthur's current popularity of the game, it will be worth it even if everyone pays for the resurrection stone.
However, if they have been targeted, then what they are doing now is probably making wedding clothes for others.
If Frost Sword persists, it will just be a waste of the resurrection stones of the team members.
It is very likely that when they happily move out the huge wealth from the Mage Tower, they will have to face strong enemies to intercept and kill them.
Once there is no equivalent harvest this time, the union they finally put together is likely to fall apart.
"Brother, if it doesn't work, just give up." Shuangjian's sister Jiuxue said. Although her tone was cold, her eyes looked at her brother worriedly.
At this time, several other level 1 players who were standing on the outside were a little confused after hearing Jiu Xue's words. They had not defeated the incoming team, so why did they give up now.
On the contrary, several senior leaders in the union looked at Shuang Jian with tolerance, waiting for the other party's decision.
"It's okay, let's give it a try. It would be too cowardly to just go back home without giving a single resurrection stone."
"Stop yelling, listen to the president."
"Looking at the situation now, it's more than a deliberate attack by hundreds of goblins and three trolls. Who knows what other tricks are coming later." said the more rational poet in the team.
At this time, he also glanced at the blast mage who had just turned the tide. The implication was self-evident, not to mention whether the blast mage still had so many spell slots.
The key is whether the other party can let them continue gambling like this.
Even though Mage Guangfeng calls himself a third-ring mage, no one treats him as a third-ring mage anymore. It's just that the risk has exceeded the provisions of the agreement, and the other party can just walk away.
Shuang Jian silently listened to the suggestions of his companions around him, preparing to make a decision.
Zhao Xu looked helpless at this scene.
He had clearly used thunderous means to kill hundreds of goblins and at least six trolls, so why was the Frost Sword so cautious
Although early players were able to travel back and forth with five Resurrection Stones, most of them were barely able to do so.
But he has already used three major killing moves: "Finger of Death", "Death Circle", and "Advanced Evocation of the Undead".
Still can't muster up the courage of Shuangjian to fight with him
It's not like the other party doesn't even bother to use an NPC.
Although he heard that there are not to mention serious players in Arthur, he already treats the native Arthur in the game as a real person.
Just when Zhao Xu guessed Shuangjian's motives and was about to add fuel to the fire, Shuangjian raised his head directly, as if he mustered up the courage to say: "Mr. Kuangfeng, now that you know the next risks, are you still willing?" Will you take the risk with us?"
And his expression was also very humble, without any hint of intimidation.
Zhao Xu smiled, Shuangjian underestimated the value of a mage tower after all.
Even though they were in the "Magic City" where Arthur's magical civilization was the most developed, it was still unimaginable.
Even a legendary mage like Antinoya, who has his own independent research site on the first floor of the "Obelisk" in the floating city, must have his own secret lair.
Legendary mages generally do not take targets that are too obvious like the Floating City. But for things like "demiplane" and "mage tower", basically at the beginning of the sixth ring, many mages will make preparations, and some even have more than one.
Senior mages also have enough patience to wait for the completion of a mage tower.
Zhao Xu was different. Although he dug out a mage tower from the bottom of the lake, the cost of repairing it itself was not much less.
But it can save Zhao Xu the most scarce time in building the mage tower.
Especially since the other party is a flying "cloud tower", and the construction itself took a long time.
A "Mage Tower" is just like an unidentified magic item. It can only exert its true value if it falls into the hands of someone who truly knows the art.
Frost Sword and his team cannot do this.
Even if it is handed over to the association, the reward will only be a few pieces of magic equipment. This has been recorded in the history of the association.
So they chose to let an association mage like Zhao Xu get the address of the tower. Although Zhao Xu seemed to have three rings, he couldn't master the mage tower.
However, as an insider of the association, Zhao Xu also has familiar mentors and families, and can obtain greater benefits by submitting information through his channels.
Even if there is no way to hand it over directly to the association, Zhao Xu can still make key contributions in the association. Therefore, the top management of the Watchmen Union was certain that Zhao Xu would be willing to give up most of the harvest distribution rights of the tower.
But they didn't expect that Zhao Xu would be able to bring the "Mage Tower" back to the sky.
Because Zhao Xu’s real backer is Antinoya.
In Zhao Xu's eyes, the bargaining chip given by Shuangjian was not the address information of a mage tower, but the ownership of a mage tower.
This bargaining chip is already worth the price he has to pay for it. Even if he has to wait until he reaches level ten before he can use it, it doesn't matter.
According to Antinoya, he is not a mage without even a mage tower.
At this time, Zhao Xu also looked at Shuang Jian calmly and said, "Of course it is possible, but I need to take greater risks next, so I want to get two of some items in the mage tower."
Shuangjian originally thought that Zhao Xu wanted to start with a lion, but he didn't expect that the other party only designated two items in advance.
You must know that the mage tower contains the wealth of the mage's life. The gems and gold coins used as magic materials are the main goals of their party.
As for magic items, it all depends on destiny.
Next, Zhao Xu and Shuang Jian discussed the details and decided on the next plan.
The group of people went to remove all the equipment from the goblins and several ordinary trolls on the ground, preparing to transport it back to the city for sale.
It's just that the goblins are all small in size, and most of their armors and weapons are not suitable for medium-sized humans such as Zhao Xu. It can only be transported back to the city and sold for redistribution in accordance with the original entrustment agreement in the association.
After experiencing this twists and turns, the players of the Watcher's Guild continued to move forward along the jungle. During this period, they crossed the Domain Wilderness and also struggled through the Sand Sand Land.
Finally, on the third day, the group went back to the jungle. After cutting through a large number of stacked thorn forests, and several players who were close to the border were even scratched and lost a lot of lives, the group finally came to a place. In front of the swamp.
Zhao Xu was also a little confused. He had been a little strange since yesterday because their direction had deviated from the nearby large lake.
At this time, the "Soul Prisoner Demon" summoned by Zhao Xu was still standing at the front of the team, looking at the mud below his feet without saying a word, without any emotion at all.
"You won't tell me that the mage tower is hidden under this swamp?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.
If Frost Sword had been teasing him from the beginning, then he would have to show off the Soul Prisoner Demon's lethality to the other party, letting him know that even a three-ring mage was not someone he could offend casually.
However, Shuang Jian gave out a hearty smile at this time, causing the armor on his chest to tremble, "Mr. Guangfeng, what we actually got from the descendant of the mage was just a rough orientation map, and the map also pointed out Another place.”
"In a mysterious stone chamber, there is a notebook handed down from their family. The powerful man who built the mage tower at that time recorded the complete construction of the mage tower, and the secrets of the various mechanisms of the mage tower were recorded in it."
"Only by getting it can we successfully enter the Mage Tower. Otherwise, how could we, a group of first- and second-level players, dare to break into the Mage Tower rashly?"
At this time, Shuang Jian's eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the dark, muddy swamp, "The stone room containing Master Errol's notebook is under this swamp."
However, at this time, countless thoughts flashed through Zhao Xu's mind.
Errol!
According to legend, among the seven people who brought back the notebook from the mysterious tomb, the third person who returned to Mystra had a surname of Errol.
Didn’t the other family go to the north of the Tianduan Mountains a hundred years ago
It was just that thoughts were racing in Zhao Xu's mind, and he understood everything in a blink of an eye.
It was the mage of the Errol family who owned the mage tower who died in the turmoil a hundred years ago, and the other family left Mystra.
And that notebook has been hidden in the stone chamber and has not been taken out!
