The Marionette is similar to a Renaissance full-body armor made of brass. It looks like a tall human being. It only has chest and abdominal plate armor, and the joints of the limbs are connected with hinges or ball joints; pieces of solid copper plates are covered with
Full of gorgeous curves and patterns, some are just for decoration, while others are full of arcane power——
That's right, this is a work of art that perfectly combines magic and elemental power. Skilled craftsmen built its body, and a powerful mage sealed the goblin from the water elemental plane in the brass body - regardless of the other party.
Will it or not - and then use magical spells to bring it to life.
The mysterious arcane magic makes the heavy metal become lighter, and the harsh metal friction sound when walking is gone. At this moment, what appears in front of the world is an agile and extraordinary swordsman: Secret Puppet is the best in this world.
One of the reasons for this is that they have high intelligence and a certain amount of spellcasting ability.
The unmanned iron golem also has a challenge level of up to 13, but in Xiao Fen's eyes, it is not as threatening as the intelligent marionette. Although the golem is expensive to build, far better than the marionette, it has no influence on the creator.
The clues can be seen in the requirements - in Canaan, the iron golem only requires three level 10 blacksmiths, one level 7 alchemist (life professional player), and one level 15 spellcaster to work together for one month.
But Secret Puppet is different. He requires spell casters to reach level 18, and because of the spell storage, participants also need advanced spell casters and geometers. The black-robed mage exhaled in a low voice, and supported the crank of the King's Power on the ground with his right hand.
, the left hand is stretched forward, with the five fingers spread out - the slender hand is wearing a leather glove, black, with a silver coat of arms on the palm.
Griffin rushed to the rock gap on the side, but his long cloak hung on the sharp corner for a while, and with a bang, his forehead came into close contact with the ground; she almost fainted from the pain. But she just endured the pain and groaned, using one hand
He supported his body and got up from the ground while coughing.
Miss Black Dragon reluctantly took a step forward, blocking the path between Miss Elf and Marionette. ^^^^ She then conjured a double-headed sword from somewhere, and then spoke to the other party in an unladylike manner.
Teeth - among the flat teeth there was a pair of pointed canines, bright white - she leaned forward, assuming a fighting posture.
The marionette also moved, and a layer of pale yellow light appeared on the seven brass armors. It should be the self-blessing spell attack agility +2, movement agility +5, dodge agility +3. Hit correction 1o%) or light
Spirituality 1d4 + 1 Dexterity).
This was a precursor to an attack, but the black-robed mage's reaction had not yet occurred. He raised his head slightly, raised his chin so that his eyes could see through the shadows, and spoke a mysterious character in his mouth...
A mysterious power that no one could control burst out from the mage's left palm stretched forward: it was invisible and formed out of thin air. The three marionettes who jumped forward suddenly flew backwards under the powerful force.
, flew seven or eight feet through the air, hit the wall behind with a loud bang, and fell down again.
Bigby struck the flying palm. Xiao Fen almost tried his best to double the spell and expand it. After releasing the spell, his mind felt dizzy, and a series of spells and energy were quickly lost, leaving a short memory blank.
In fact, this spell was supposed to target all marionettes, but under the influence of the opponent's SR (spell resistance) of 27 points, it only had an effect on three of them.
The marionettes were knocked out and only suffered a few scratches, but they soon found themselves in a situation where they could not fight back - an ice wall more than thirty inches thick appeared out of thin air, dividing the battlefield, according to one inch
Calculated with 3 HP, it would take at least two rounds for seven marionettes to penetrate it.
What's more, Maairiberi is still watching from the other side, preventing them from attacking the ice wall with all their strength.
At this time, Griffin had already shrunk and hid in the crevices of the rocks. Xiao Fen waved his hand to withdraw the energy-shaping array that emitted a faint red light and followed him in. However, before leaving, he did not forget to tell Miss Black Dragon:
"You can only retreat after three rounds——"
Miss Maari agreed verbally, but in her heart she made up her mind to dodge in two rounds.***
The space in the rock tunnel is narrow. There is almost only room for one person to advance sideways. Xiao Fen did not think too much about choosing this path before, firstly because there were not many escape routes to choose from, and secondly because of the principle of being close - but at this time he also
It's a curse. The mage is not short, so he is unlucky - he often bumps into the ceiling when he raises his head, causing pain that makes stars appear in his eyes.
After entering the rock tunnel, the mage was still worried at first, that this narrow gap was just a dead end, but then he was completely relieved: there was actually a cave behind this tunnel. It was about two or thirty feet away, and the space was
It suddenly dawned on me that we had arrived at the second half of this ancient corridor.
It was at this time that Xiao Fen heard a painful cry - it was Miss Griffin's voice. He frowned. The mage didn't want to lose a full-time translator at this time. What's more, he already regarded the other party as
It was his future team member, or at least a reserve team member. Following the direction of the sound, he turned part of a huge, broken rock pillar, and then Xiao Fen saw at a glance that the elf lady who was walking in front was lying on her back.
On the ground, blood flowed red under her body.
"Miss Griffin!"
He first looked around cautiously, then directed Sha Fei on his shoulder to go out and maintain spiritual contact with him, and then helped Miss Elf up. The latter was still breathing, but was already in a paralyzed state (hp below zero), she
There was a wound on the abdomen and left chest, and blood kept coming out, staining the robe and cloak red.
If these two holes are opened on the warrior character, it is estimated that the latter can still be alive and kicking without any impact; but the magician who is born weak is different. This can also be said to be the price of gaining strong power. In Canaan
, the power of arcane magic really requires too much strength from the warrior. ^^
He took out two bottles of potion to treat minor injuries and one bottle of potion to treat moderate injuries and poured them into Miss Mage one after another. Of course, prying open the mouth of an unconscious girl was not a simple matter, and the mage was not without his imagination about the place where the medicine was given.
For a moment. But it’s just a matter of thinking about it.
Just as the troublesome things were done, Maari Bailey also retreated from the front. Seeing that she was not injured at all and looked very relaxed, she must have implemented her retreat plan in advance. But at this time, Xiao Fen was not in the mood to follow this
The woman was worried, threw Griffin into her hand, and then waved to call Sha back.
There was another group of marionettes in front of them, one of which was hit by Miss Elf's magic missile and was pushed back. Now they are regrouping and blocking the way forward for their group: this is the news brought back by Sha.
There are pursuers behind and interceptions in front. This is obviously a trap planned in advance. And this is what makes intelligent constructs like marionettes more terrifying than ordinary constructed creatures. Outside of the command of the mage, they
You can also formulate some simple tactics on this basis.
"Go this way."
Xiao Fen still chose to avoid the opponent's sharp edge and chose another rock gap - fortunately, the terrain here is very complex, and it can be said that there are passages everywhere; but there is also a disadvantage, that is, you don't know which road is a dead end.
And that road can lead to a smooth road.
Sure enough, after chasing and escaping, they still experienced several ordinary-sized encounters on the road. At the beginning, Xiao Fen and Maari Bailey each killed five or six marionettes, but the opponent seemed to be endless.
One after another appeared, and in the end even Miss Black Dragon, who had always been cunning, was seriously injured: after all, she had experienced a fierce battle before, and her physical strength had not yet fully recovered.
Now even Xiao Fen doubted whether these marionettes were temple guards. If not, how could there be such a huge number? He checked carefully, and he actually encountered half a hundred of them. ^^ Even if some of them were removed
There are at least thirty or more duplicates.
If you want to calculate the difficulty of so many cr7 marionettes as one encounter, this is at least an encounter of level 13 or above. In other words, the dungeon under this dungeon - this area has withered for thousands of years, and even
In the temple area of 10,000 years ago, even a gatekeeper encounter requires at least a level 13 complete team of four to challenge it!
You know, the entry challenge for the secret treasure of King Asuo is just some worthless undead creatures.
However, it was useless to think that there was no place for them. In the end, they ran out of advantages and were finally blocked in a dead end by a group of more than 20 marionettes.
"Can fossils be turned into mud? Or dissociation...cough!" Miss Griffin, who had already woken up, asked weakly while coughing.
The mage shook his head. He had tried it once before, but the stones used to build the temple seemed to be protected by some unknown force, and it seemed difficult for magic to have an effect on them. He even doubted whether stone walking or wall penetration would work.
one question.
"Then what should we do?" Maari Bailey stared at Xiao Fen fiercely. Faced with this dilemma, she first thought that if it weren't for this damn mage, she wouldn't have come to this place inexplicably; but she could only think
Just for a moment, after all, it would not help, because whether it was the black-robed mage or the marionette outside, she thought she was no match -
However, Xiao Fen didn't panic too much. He first instructed Miss Black Dragon to block the Marionette to buy him time to cast the spell. Of course, this order was interrupted by Ma Ali Bailey at the first moment. She complained loudly. Thinking that the mage
I want to sacrifice myself.
But the next moment, our black dragon lady saw the black-robed mage smiling slightly at her. His eyes also became deep; it felt like a gaze piercing straight into her soul, making her tremble, as if she suddenly heard
Reach the voice in the other person’s heart.**
Ma Airi's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then became clear again. Now our Black Dragon Miss has a voice in her heart, and this voice told her: This black-robed mage should be her captain, and he should be someone close to her! What else?
You can trust your words and you will never abandon yourself!
She hesitated for a moment and decided to obey the other party's orders unconditionally and buy time for everyone without hesitation. However, she had already made a choice in her heart. Maari still blushed slightly, stammered, turned her head to one side and defended: "
Captain, please don’t misunderstand me! I...I just did this to survive...it has nothing to do with you!"
After saying that, he picked up the double-headed sword and walked out——
Miss Griffin watched all this in stunned silence, watching Xiao Fen calmly cast a charm monster on the little female dragon; although she had not seen players cast similar spells on kobolds and goblins before.
Spell, but when this spell acts on a creature with similar intelligence and appearance as myself, the feeling is obviously different.
She shrank back slightly for a moment. Then she remembered that players cannot cast this type of spell on players.
Xiao Fen noticed the subtle movements of Miss Elf, but he just smiled secretly and had no unnecessary reaction. Then he took out two ancient scrolls from the scroll box, which looked to be some years old.
Gasification form scroll (Level III, the subject transforms into a form, loses armor AC, loses attack/casting ability, loses natural ability, mobility is reduced by 80%, and gain 1o/magic injury immunity), Xiao Fen talked about it very early
I have copied these gasification form scrolls before. But I have never had a chance to use them.
In fact, in the Canaan forum, there have been some technical posts in the mage area that mentioned that gasification form is a very practical spell because of its shape transformation and flight capabilities. As we all know, gas can easily penetrate some small objects.
gaps, or even over traps, so this spell has a wide range of uses.
However, after the experiment, Xiao Fen discovered that this spell was not as effective as expected. The reason is that Canaan, as a virtual world, has too many players and magic weapons. If you encounter evil intentions in the gasification form with many restrictions,
If you are an local player, then you will inevitably fall into an extremely passive situation, and the so-called 1o/magic damage immunity is no different in front of the magic weapons all over the street.
In fact, this spell is quite good for emergency escape at low levels, but later, higher levels of advanced flash and spiritual transformation can do this better.
But at this moment, it's time to take it out for emergency use.
"After the spell takes effect, it keeps floating in the opposite direction from where it came in!" Xiao Fen recited a spell and patted a scroll on Griffin: "Do you still remember the direction?"
Miss Elf nodded seriously, and then her body became blurry - she swayed left and right in a strange way. Then she floated in one direction, dispersing into a small stream of white smoke and getting into the small gaps between the rocks.
There were sounds of fierce fighting outside the tunnel, and occasionally the sound of Miss Black Dragon groaning in pain. These sounds were getting closer and closer, indicating that Maari could no longer hold on any longer.
Xiao Fen frowned and blessed himself with a high-level flash; this was a V-level spell, and since it was a change faction, there was no spell bonus provided by the dark crystal staff. This spell took him some time to prepare and complete. But
This was also a last resort, because he could not cast spells after transforming into gas form, so he had to choose more advanced spells.
"Maari. Come back!"
Hearing the mage's shout, Miss Black Dragon retreated from the outside in embarrassment as if she had been granted amnesty - buying six or seven rounds of time. At this moment, her body was almost covered with wounds of all sizes, and there were two more behind her.
The expressionless marionette pressed forward step by step.
The mage didn't say much, and directly swept away the marionette that followed with a flying palm.
"Follow me." The gas-formed scroll was photographed, and at the same time as he said these words, Xiao Fen himself entered the spiritual world -
Griffin had never had the same unique feeling as she does now. She felt like she was as light as a cloud in the sky, floating in this lonely, dark and silent space; sometimes she saw one or two dim lights.
But like an illusion, it is fleeting.
The girl knew that she was not in good health in reality. In fact, she spent more time sleeping than awake. She remembered that she had experienced many game worlds since she could remember. In order to relieve her depressed emotions, she
Or to have a look at life in the real world.
But even here, her gradually weakening heart was dragging her down all the time, making her feel dull and painful.
Until not long ago, that light and airy feeling seemed to free her from the pain and discomfort caused by the disease; even though she knew it was not true, she couldn't help but not want to give up.
She floated like this slowly for several minutes - it seemed as if she had penetrated a thick wall. At first it was darkness that could not be seen, and then suddenly, a strong, white light came from behind the wall.
Reflected in the retina - a vast expanse of white, that pure, bright white, as if suddenly coming to the kingdom of heaven.
But the next moment, the scene in front of me gradually changed from blurry to clear, and then our elf lady was completely stunned, so stunned that she couldn't make a sound——
A voice echoed in her mind.
"System prompt: World plot mission - seven keys, one door, Chapter 1 - Prelude to disaster activated!"
"System prompt: Your character has started the world plot mission - Prelude to Disaster, difficulty - no limit (minimum rating s+), completion time - no limit, player, do you accept the mission?"
