The passage leading to the surface is long and deep. Shado and Baal each control an underground lizard and rush upward. Apart from them, other drow do not have such good treatment, and they can only run on their legs.
"Sir, if you keep running like this, your mount won't be able to hold on!" Barr said with some worry.
In his eyes, there is no need for "Lord Brandon" to be in such a hurry. The mission lasts for a year. With his assistance, he can definitely return within the mission deadline!
However, little did he know how urgent Xia Duo was to reach the surface immediately!
After the previous ritual magic, Xia Duo conducted a simple check on the death date and discovered some of the effects of this spell, but——
He was certain that there must be others that he had not discovered. One of the things that Sha Duo was most worried about was that this spell might also impose restrictions on the soul.
That’s trouble!
If there is any way to really hurt him in the projection plane, then spells related to the soul, consciousness, and heart can definitely do it!
If you just want to check your soul, you must be in a state of high concentration. This situation is definitely not suitable at the moment.
In Shado's view, apart from the Underdark, except for Baal who was bound to Shenglu and him, other drow are almost untrustworthy. Once they stop, who knows what will happen.
Only by walking in front can he avoid trouble to the greatest extent. The faster he reaches the surface, the faster he can check the state of his soul.
However, there is some truth to Barr's words. The road ahead is still long, and if the mount collapses due to fatigue, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Slow down!"
…
Although the mount has slowed down, Xia Duo's heart has not slowed down. The lizard mount is still relatively stable, but it is quite unpleasant to lean up when traveling upwards. This is only ignored when traveling quickly.
.
However, now that it has slowed down, Shado has no intention of being idle. He began to check the magic mark left by Malusis on his body. This mark does have a surveillance effect, but after such a long time, he has finally figured it out.
Spells.
After all? At that time, Malusis just stayed there casually? How could she have thought that there would be a main plane arcanist hidden under "Brandon"'s skin!
"Not even close!"
Shado sighed. Isn't he far enough away from Ozobane? Is this mark enough for Malusis to monitor him in real time? Is it necessary to be further away to make the real-time monitoring lose its effect? Only normal is left.
positioning effect.
As long as there is no real-time monitoring, Shado doesn't have to worry about whether Malusis has been observing him over there? Then he can cast spells at will.
Even if Malusis wants to resume real-time monitoring on a whim, he can't hide it when casting the spell. At that time, whether it is evasion or cover-up, he will have his own means.
…
After turning the last corner, Xia Duo saw a bright light at the end of the passage ahead, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.
After walking for almost two days, we are finally reaching the surface!
Xia Duo couldn't help but wave the whip in his hand, driving the lizard mount under his buttocks to speed up. At this point, he no longer cared about whether the mount was going to be exhausted.
Just keep accelerating? Keep accelerating.
…
"Stop! Get checked!"
Xia Duo was running happily like a lizard when two black figures suddenly appeared in the light in front of him. He took a closer look and saw that they were a priest and a warrior. A man and a woman were blocking the last port of the passage.
"Scout Brandon first, followed by my companion Barr!"
When Xia Duo stopped his mount, he also revealed his identity. After a simple inspection, the two were quickly allowed to pass, but their lizard mounts were kept.
…
Irfaran, Witton Forest.
When Xia Duo walked out of the cave near a hill, he felt extremely relaxed in his heart, even though he was facing the sun like a frying pan.
If he stayed in the Underdark for a little longer, he was really worried that he would suffer from mental illness!
After sighing with emotion, Xia Duo quickly covered his eyes with a layer of black cloth. The sun was still too strong at this time, and although his body could bear it, his eyes were still uncomfortable.
At the same time, he also discovered that there was a big gap between the simulated sunlight in the Crowry family's training ground and the real sunlight here on the surface!
He glanced at Barr, who was hiding in the shade of a tree with a trembling body, and his heart moved, and he said: "Barr, I will act on my own next, you don't have to follow me!"
Xia Duo has long wanted to get rid of this guy. Although the other person's life is bound to him and he is trustworthy during the mission, there is a premise, that is, Xia Duo is really "Brandon" and really wants to do this.
Task.
"Sir, do you want to act alone?"
Barr couldn't believe it. It was clear that he was the one who gave the other party the gold-plated tools, but the other party didn't want it. But Barr couldn't agree to the other party's request. Even if the other party was confident, he himself was still worried!
If there was really some mistake, the other party might not be fine, and he would have no choice but to die, even worse than death.
Thinking of the misery, Barr quickly shook his head, "Sir, it's better for us to act more safely together. I have no other mission, just to assist you!"
"No need, I have difficulty moving with you, I will contact you if necessary!"
With that said, Shado flew up directly, and then looked directly at Barr. Although he didn't show more, Barr immediately understood that Brandon had become a mage.
But he couldn't figure it out, how could Brandon become a mage? Was Mistress Crowley's bed really that magical?
"Then please tell me the general area of action, sir. I will wait for your call nearby!"
Xia Duo thought about it and agreed.
In fact, if you are not worried that killing the opponent may cause unnecessary trouble, it may be easier to kill the opponent directly.
But being able to separate normally is pretty good.
After Xia Duo casually mentioned a direction, he immediately became invisible and flew away from the hill.
…
Not long after leaving, Xia Duo randomly found a big tree that was pleasing to the eye and fell into it. He couldn't wait to check his soul.
——[Discovery]!
Sitting on a thick branch, Xia Duo did not directly enter a state of high concentration, but first searched to see if there were any humanoid creatures nearby.
After that, some warning magic was arranged, and then he began to examine the soul without any distractions.
The moment he sensed the soul, Xia Duo's heart trembled and he almost quit his concentration state.
At this moment, the face of the blurred soul was densely covered with a large number of magic web strings, making it look like the soul was tied up by five flowers.
