Xiao Fen asked as he activated the arcane array. Two cone-shaped objects, one golden and one black, circled around him like satellites, then stopped above his shoulders, with their tips pointing behind the rock.
What answered him was a sharp, high-frequency mantra chant——
"Darkness!"
Thick, impenetrable darkness fell from the sky, and then a shadow shot out from behind the rock and ran away in the other direction; the mage sneered. This trick may be somewhat effective against other people, but not with the dark crystal.
He with the rod.
He seemed to ignore the boundless darkness, only stretched out the tip of his staff towards the black shadow, and shouted: "Human Body Holding Technique." The vast white light emitted from the black crystal ball, instantly caught up with the black shadow, and enveloped it.
in.
The black shadow paused for a moment, but seemed unaffected and even accelerated the next moment.
Xiao Fen was surprised. This was not because the opponent succeeded in saving his spell - but because the system prompted that it was not a humanoid creature at all. If it is not a humanoid creature, it is almost not a player. This is a bit difficult for him to accept. At first
The mage thought these two guys were with the Hands of Despair.
However, this does not mean that the other party can escape. In just a moment, a wall of fire blocking the underground cave burst into flames in the darkness. It was fifteen feet thick. It could not be called a wall of fire, but a sea of fire.
The plastic energy array is suspended in the dark space, with a faint red light emitting from the whole body——
At the same time, the protective array automatically dispelled the darkness spell.
The black shadow stopped. Facing the sea of fire that was more than ten feet wide, the creature visibly hesitated. It was only now that Xiao Fen finally saw the other person's appearance clearly - this was a young woman, to be precise, a
Very beautiful young woman.
He is in his early twenties, with a long and thin face, one gold and one purple pupils; he is very tall. Wrapped in tight black scaly leather armor, he has a well-shaped figure; especially a pair of slender thighs
, one look at it can make people think wildly.
The woman has a beautiful face, delicate skin, and some Oriental beauty. However, the tip of her nose is straight. She has a pair of pointed ears, but they are not as slender and slender as an elf - a bit like a fairy in a fairy tale.
She put her hands on her chest, shifted her center of gravity downward, and assumed a hostile posture; she raised her thin eyebrows. She opened her mouth slightly to reveal a pair of pointed tiger teeth, and a low growl came from her throat: a crown of anger.
Touch the ground.
One golden and one purple eye stared at Xiao Fen, filled with a cold and dangerous aura. Like a hunting beast. However, the mage saw some evasive fear in it, which made him a little funny. The other party was obviously forcing himself on him.
Put on a dangerous look.
The woman rushed over here, looking like she was going to attack Xiao Fen, but the mage had experienced countless battles and could tell at a glance that the other party was actually trying to escape - because her eyes were not looking at him.
Instead, he stared behind him.
"Hey. It seems that in the eyes of this stupid woman, Master, you are not as dangerous as a fifteen-foot-thick wall of fire..." Sha used her pointed beak to adjust the slender feathers on her wings while making sarcastic remarks.
Xiao Fen shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to this bad-tempered demon pet.
"Aivar's Black Tentacle."
He stretched out his hand and drew a mysterious rune in the air. Under the woman's feet, above her head, on the ground, on the ceiling, and in the rock formations on the four walls, there were 10-foot-long, smooth black tentacles that seemed to come from an unknown space.
It rushed out from the gap, surrounded her from all directions, and then wrapped around her hands and feet.
The woman let out a sharp roar. She struggled like crazy, exploding with terrifying strength - one, two or even more tentacles were broken, but it was of no use. It could not change the final result - the mage again
Casting a weakening ray, the crazy woman finally fell into weakness and allowed the tentacles to tie her up tightly.
"Ugh——" the woman let out a low cry. Her tough eyes softened and she begged: "Mr. Powerful Mage, please don't kill me——! I have nothing to do with those people, I just..."
This npc would beg for mercy, and Xiao Fen couldn't help but smile. He glanced behind the rock and said, "I know that." Upon hearing such an answer, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly said, "I...I
I didn't mean to offend you, Mr. Mighty Mage! I just wanted to avoid those hateful guys.
"Those nasty guys?"
"Well, they want to kill me." The woman's eyes wandered, with a hint of cunning hidden in them.
"It's that simple?"
"kindness……"
Xiao Fen shook his head in disappointment. He obviously didn't tell the truth, but on the surface he was very sincere and pretended to be pitiful. He turned his head towards the rock and saw an unexpected person rubbing his hand.
The neck comes out of there.
Miss Griffin still looks like that, with a very bad face - the mage always thought that this should be the most pale and bloodless face in human beings, but Miss Elf proved time and time again that it could be even worse: as white as almost
There was a blush that seemed to be transparent, with blood oozing out from underneath. Her appearance was as frail as ever, and she kept coughing.
"Miss Griffin, you haven't gotten off yet?"
"Of course, otherwise how could we see such a powerful scene," Griffin blushed, and then realized that there seemed to be no defensible reason for her behavior - whether others were strong or weak had nothing to do with her.
, as for Xiao Fen, he joined their team as a third-level mage; from this aspect, he has fully fulfilled or fulfilled his responsibilities as a third-level mage.
However, speaking forcefully is a sacred and inviolable right that women are born with, so she still said in an unconvinced tone: "I didn't expect that Mr. Master deceived us... Ahem, Mr. Half Apple?"
Xiao Fen shook his head again. Each of the two women was more dishonest than the other; but he had nothing to worry about. Anyway, his identity was exposed, and he needed some help from this elf mage lady. He might as well invite her to continue the adventure together - protection.
It's not enough for three people, but it's more than enough for one person.
"Okay. Allow me to apologize for what happened before. Let me introduce you again -" He said: "My name is Palin, Palin from Star Lake."
"You are Palin!" Two voices, one large and one small, exclaimed.
Griffin's eyes widened and he opened his mouth. He had an incredible expression on his face, which was within Xiao Fen's expectation. But what happened to the woman tied up by the tentacles?
It turns out it's you. The mage never thought that his name could be heard by just looking for an NPC in an underground cave, which made him feel a little arrogant.
"Are you Palin, the so-called strongest spell caster among players?" Griffin looked at Xiao Fen and asked in a low voice.
"Are you the master of Vladis?" The Jindi woman looked like she had seen a ghost.
"Do you know Vladis?" Xiao Fen frowned.
"I don't know!" The golden woman immediately shook her head. The mage snorted coldly and asked Griffith again: "Do you know her?"
"No...who knows this hateful woman!" Miss Elf showed an angry look. The woman here almost killed her just now.
"Then I understand." Xiao Fen thought of the previous spell prompts and smiled: "You are a dragon, right?"
The golden woman's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Then let me guess, you have a nickname called Poison Eyes."
"Vicious eyes? Damn it. Who gave me such a vulgar name..." The golden woman struggled this time, looking angry, "I must eat him!"
"It's a pity that you can't eat anyone now." Xiao Fen smiled slightly.
Miss Black Dragon snorted and turned her head away unconvinced; after her identity was revealed, the Dragon Clan's usual arrogant personality suddenly took over again.
"You really want to eat that guy? Then let's make a deal." The mage smiled like a Baatezu with malicious intentions.
"Hmph," Miss Black Dragon snorted a contemptuous note from her straight nose and said: "What kind of deal? I know your plan, powerful mage - but I am not Vladis' stupid female dragon.
.I will not agree to it.”
"What I have to remind you is..." Xiao Fen shook his head: "But it seems that you don't have the freedom to choose."
"You——" the woman gritted her teeth, "despicable mortal!"
"As the most cunning and fickle dragon species, you don't seem to have any position to accuse me like this." Xiao Fen knocked his knuckles, as if it had nothing to do with him: "You have to think carefully, you only have one choice.
Dragons have a long life, but they are not immortal—"
"You threaten me?"
The mage shrugged.
Miss Black Dragon was trembling with anger, but she couldn't find the courage to resist; as the saying goes, the more noble and intelligent a being is, the more afraid of death - the mage knew this very well, so he occupied the key position in the negotiation from the beginning.
Advantage.
Dragons are indeed rare in the Canaanite world, and are at the top of all legends. But dragons are a broad concept, and their genealogy cannot be generalized: some dragons are indeed the same for mortals.
Myths, such as the rainbow dragon and the time dragon that existed before the era, it is said that their power can reach the limit of mortal imagination; while other dragons are often reduced to trophies of the so-called brave men - just like the white dragon cannot compete with other dragons
Even a young black dragon cannot stand side by side with an ancient dragon.
As a fifteenth-level spellcaster, Xiao Fen can completely eat this CR8 creature to death. Not to mention that she is currently weak, even in her prime, the mage may not have any taboos.
"Have you thought about it?"
"What...what do you want to do?" Miss Black Dragon asked weakly, as if she was really a weak girl.
Xiao Fen held his forehead and said, "We are all smart people here, stop pretending - you understand what I mean!"
"Please don't do this. My first time will be reserved for my spouse..." She blushed and whispered.
Griffin stared at the two people in stunned silence. At this time, he finally let out a low voice, his cheeks turning red.
Xiao Fen's face was ashen, this damn lizard was not honest at all: "Miss Black Dragon, please don't test my patience!" He raised a palm, and the flames rose in his palm...
The golden woman's face finally changed, and she hurriedly said: "Impossible! If I want to be a mortal's mount, I would rather die——!" She said firmly. But the content of her words was explaining, and her cunning tone was always full of
There is room for compromise.
"Look, Miss Black Dragon. You are a dragon, but I am a mortal." Xiao Fen saw that the other party finally gave in, and said in a persuasive way: "... Your life has just begun. There are still one thousand, two thousand or even more years.
The longer mystery of life is waiting for you to explore - but I am different. In just two hundred years, one hundred years or even less time, I will be wiped out; by then, you can also be free again. So this is for you
It is just a small episode in the course of life."
Miss Black Dragon turned her face to one side and snorted from her nose, as if she was disdainful.
"Okay, you will get the same contract as Vladis." Xiao Fen crossed his hands and said, "It has been strengthened with magic. It is written on a parchment scroll and sworn to the respective gods - about the place of profit and the treasure.
Documentation with distribution of gold coins.”
Miss Black Dragon's eyes lit up.
"I want to eat people, one every day!"
"Deal," the mage replied simply, thinking that the Hand of Despair still had a large population anyway.
"Wait, I still have a request..." Miss Heilong immediately started bargaining.
Xiao Fen stared at him, his eyes like knives.
"Damn it... you are taking advantage of others. I have just used up all my magic for the day and am in a state of weakness... Otherwise, although you are very powerful, there is no problem for me to escape... Ahem! In short, if you don't agree,
.As a dragon, my proud heart will not bow down!"
While Miss Black Dragon was speaking so righteously, she was observing Xiao Fen's attitude with wandering eyes, which made Miss Griffin beside her dumbfounded.
"Okay, you say." The mage finally nodded. After all, the temptation of the dragon-riding mage was still very big for him. In fact, he had such an idea in his mind as soon as he saw the black dragon lady.
That's why I wasted so much time bargaining with her here.
"I said, I am a noble black dragon. If I want to be a mortal's mount, I would rather die -" Miss Black Dragon puffed up her chest, as if to highlight her altitude; her eyes turned again and again, like a
He was thinking hard about some bad idea: "So - you should invite me to be your teammate! Then, just out of friendship, I will give you a ride occasionally... Well, that's it!"
Xiao Fen held his forehead. This was the second time he did this action: "Okay, I agree. In order to complete this deal, let's make an oath..." After saying that, he pointed to the God of Magic, Bola.
Make another vow.
"It's your turn, Miss Black Dragon, I haven't asked you your noble name yet -"
"Maari, Maari Bailey. Comes from a land of noble blood... In short, it is a black dragon family..."
Griffith stabbed the mage in the back and asked in a low voice: "Is this okay? Taking a dragon as a mount?" Her face still looked more surprised than curious. After all, she had too many surprises that day.
"Canaan is a virtual world, everything is possible." The mage whispered. He has regarded the other party as his teammate and does not mind imparting more experience: "Remember this sentence, whether it is danger or benefit -
—It can be reflected in every aspect, whether you think of it or not."
Miss Elf nodded thoughtfully.
Maairi Bailey looked at these two guys, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, and continued: "I, Maairi Bailey, the noble black dragon bloodline from Yunwu Mountain, hereby swear to the Dragon God Bahamut -
—”
"Tiamat." Xiao Fen interrupted and corrected.
"..." Miss Black Dragon's face felt awkward, but she had to revise her words again: "I, Maairi Bailey, the noble black dragon bloodline from Yunwu Mountain, hereby pay my respects to the great five-color dragon god Tiamat.
Swear - to become Mage Palin's... Well, teammate, before his life ends," the little female dragon bit these words hard and glanced at Xiao Fen with ill intentions, but the latter did not
Too concerned.
"...No betrayal!" She ended with this sentence.
The vows made echoed quietly in the darkness underground——
As soon as Yun Na and Ke'er crossed the suspension bridge in front of the main entrance of the castle halfway up the mountain, a group of patrolling soldiers stopped them. The knight politely dismounted and said to them: "Two ladies, and the respected mage.
Miss - this is aristocratic territory, if you are a visitor, please show your token and state your intention - if you are just a visitor, please step back!"
Ke'er was startled, obviously not expecting this. She thought for a moment and whispered: "I am the captain of the Ranger detachment of Silver Vislan. I have some military matters that I want to meet with your Lord. Please inform me.
one time."
Her words made the NPC shake his head and replied coldly: "Sorry, please show me something to prove your identity."
The female elf ranger frowned. This time she came out as a private person to participate in the activity of shining gold coins. She did not have and was not allowed to bring the silver Wesland token.
But at this time, the female mage on the side smiled slightly, took out a seal ring and a sheepskin document, and handed them over.
The knight was stunned for a moment, glanced at the mage lady, took the document and read it carefully, his expression immediately became serious. He glanced at the seal ring again, and then immediately changed his attitude and saluted Yun Na as a knight.
.
"It turns out to be the special envoy of Dragon City, Miss Baroness, please and this lady come with me -
He said respectfully.
Cole stared at her sister in great surprise. She had never heard of her having such a noble title as a baron.
"Sister... this?" She poked the mage quietly and asked in a low voice.
"Don't ask me how it came here, Apple sent it to me." The female mage smiled slightly: "It seems that his skills have not deteriorated yet."
