Chapter 1073 Predicting blessings and unexpected accidents
Just like the day before yesterday, after receiving the transmission circle pass key from Xia Duo, Rodit and others quickly transmitted it without any delay.
"Lord Xia Duo, I have to trouble you again."
"No trouble, it's all agreed upon in advance. In the case of the ruins, what have you prepared this time?"
"I didn't find anything very useful. I just asked for a few [predictive blessings] from the Severdon Temple, which cost my father a lot of favors."
Rodit said he didn't care much, but Shado could see a little pride in his eyes. It must not be that simple to be able to exchange the favor of a senior arcanist for a blessing.
Although Xia Duo has never heard of [predictive blessing], it can be seen from the name that it may be related to prophecy. Perhaps it allows the blessed person to know the crisis in advance and avoid the past.
But prophecy is too mysterious and may not be very accurate,\band this is where Chateau's five [Stability Amulets] have a chance to work.
Then, Xia Duo sold the [Stability Amulet] he prepared to Rodit and others, "Although this kind of amulet cannot allow you to predict danger in advance, it can prevent you from falling into the etheric plane when encountering plane separation."
In the face."
In fact, the most dangerous aspect of this ruins exploration operation is living in another world. If this can be eliminated, other dangers can be dealt with by a group of high-level mages.
Exploring the relics of this kind of caster still requires deciphering the protective settings of the original owner. If you are lucky or smart enough, you may even avoid fighting at all.
Of course, to be on the safe side, make as many preparations as you can.
Rodit and others did not reject the [Stability Amulet] prepared by Sha Duo. When asked about the specific price, Sha Duo smiled knowingly and said what he had thought about for a long time:
"I am also a participant in this ruins exploration operation. It is also beneficial to me to prepare these talismans for you. Just charge the material cost, 6,000 gold coins!"
That being said, Rodit is not a completely ignorant novice. In terms of age, he is even about ten years older than Shado! (not counting the time consumed in the projection plane)
Even though he knew that Xia Duo's cost of making these five talismans might be less than 6,000 gold coins, he still settled the settlement at the market price of normal talisman-type magic items:
"No, Lord Shado, the manpower of a senior arcanist should not be so neglected. I think fifteen thousand gold coins is a more appropriate number."
Rodit would never have imagined that the cost of these five [Stability Amulets] was less than 3,000 gold coins. Even if they were sold for 6,000 gold coins, Xia Duo would still make a small profit.
As for fifteen thousand, then Xia Duo will make a lot of money.
With the intention of making money, Shado did not refuse Rodit's offer. Although he knew that the lowest price of talisman-type magic items on the market could be as low as about 2,000 gold coins, who made him a senior arcanist!
This identity alone is worth a premium of 1,000 gold coins, not to mention the [Stability Amulet] was specially made for their exploration operation.
If it weren't for the background of Rodit and others, and if he hadn't already participated in this operation, Shado would have been able to command a sky-high price if he were any other ordinary spell caster.
As long as they want to continue to explore and take action, they are not afraid of not buying. This is the so-called seller's market.
…
After instructing Rodit and others to link themselves with the [Stability Amulet], Shado checked it over and made sure there was nothing wrong before letting them leave the watchtower.
Of course, before that, the spiritual link must be established.
Just like last time, after Rodit and others arrived at Zenis, they still chose to leave the city first and go deep into the forest for a certain distance before opening the teleportation gate and teleporting directly to the foggy area inside the ruins.
After that, they flew all the way to the foot of the Mage Tower.
Since everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and although the outside of the Mage Tower is considered a ruin, except for Xia Duo, others are not interested in the environment here. They want to obtain real treasures.
Therefore, when they arrived here, Rodit and others entered the mage tower without any delay, and Sha Duo had no objection to this.
These people are not his puppets. When there is no emergency or abnormality is discovered, he does not need to intervene in real time.
The high-level mage, Frank the Swordsinger, took the lead and entered the dark entrance of the mage tower. Behind him was Rodit's friend, the high-level mage Wei Ji.
After that are Rodit and Steele from Morien Tower, and at the bottom is Rodit's father's student, ruin exploration expert, and senior mage Abner.
Just when the four people in front disappeared into the darkness at the entrance to the Mage Tower, and Abner had already stepped towards the dark entrance with one foot, Sha Duo suddenly discovered something unusual——
No, to be more prepared, Abner's many senses received abnormal information, but his subconscious was unable to realize it and transform it into some kind of intuition or inspiration.
But this information was known to Sha Duo through the spiritual link. Sha Duo discovered the anomaly that Abner could not detect, so he immediately issued a warning:
"Abner, squat down!"
When Abner received the signal, he hesitated for a moment, but then quickly sank down. However, with that moment of hesitation, Abner's magical aura suddenly dimmed a bit.
"what's the situation?"
Rodit and others learned from the spiritual link that there was a situation outside, and immediately retreated from the mage tower, and then saw the scene in front of them——
Abner fell to the ground, and the aura of protective magic on his body flickered on and off, as if something invisible was constantly attacking him.
"Rodit, Steele, do you still remember the [Protection-2-14] spell in the green field plane? Follow my command and cast spells together without any hesitation! Frank, do you know about force field blessing? Go and chop off Frank's head.
The space half a foot above, hurry!"
Fortunately, the communication within the spiritual link was extremely fast. When Rodit and others saw Abner's accident, they couldn't help but feel that it would be my turn next, so they showed no resistance to Shado's command.
It will take some time for Rodit and Steele to jointly cast spells, but as a swordsinger, Flack's reaction is extremely fast.
Almost at the same time as he heard Xia Duo's instructions, the right hand that had been pressed on the hilt of the sword when he exited the mage tower suddenly tightened his grip and then pulled it out.
As the sword was pulled out, a spiritual light appeared on the sword covered with runes from weak to strong. Before anyone could blink, the tip of Flack's sword touched the top of Abner's head.
.
It was exactly about half a foot from where Xia Duo said it was.
