When things have developed to this point, Lin Li has understood that the purpose of the Marfa family is probably related to the darkness in the Death Mark. Even if it is not the ultimate goal, it is definitely a crucial step, otherwise Adela would not be sent.
This great magician at the top of the seventeenth level...
However, Lin Li was very surprised. The Marfa family's understanding of the darkness seemed to be more than just hearsay. Adela could even accurately tell the location of the darkness.
Could it be that this is all related to that map?
If this is the case, the Marfa family has a lot of clues. There may even be someone in the Marfa family who has seen the darkness with their own eyes. Otherwise, Adela would not have acted so confidently. Lin Li even dared to bet with his head.
, Adela knew far more than she imagined.
But there is one thing that Adela will never know...
Adela would never have imagined that the young magician standing in front of him was the former master of the darkness!
Lin Li, who once owned the seven star fragments, understood them better than anyone else. If there is one person in this world who can control the darkness, then this person must be Lin Li.
Of course, Lin Li would definitely not tell Adela these things...
Now Lin Li is waiting. After finding the darkness, he will give this great magician who is good at disguise a big surprise!
"I wonder what Magician Adela can do?"
"I know there is a path near here that can allow us to temporarily escape the pursuit of the skeleton warriors."
"Oh?" Lin Li knew as soon as he heard this that he had guessed correctly. Adela knew a lot of things...
Under the leadership of Adela, a group of twelve people fought and retreated. It took almost half an hour to finally reach the place Adela mentioned. There was indeed a path there, which was narrow and steep.
It extends diagonally up the mountain wall. At the end of the path, there is a cave entrance that can barely accommodate two people. Adela is right. This cave entrance can indeed escape the pursuit of the skeleton warriors. After all, these skeleton warriors
It's only level eight. As long as they don't get overwhelmingly swarmed, even Jonathan can be a hero who can fight one against a hundred at once. By then, any summoned creature can be enough to hold them back for a day and a half.
Adela did indeed do this. As soon as a group of twelve people retreated into the cave, Adela took out a scroll from her pocket. After hearing a short spell, the scroll suddenly turned into a black smoke.
, and then I saw a level 12 iron-backed wolf guarding the entrance of the cave.
"Why are you so stingy..." Lin Li curled his lips secretly. There are two most common summoning scrolls on the market today, one is the twelfth-level iron-backed wolf, and the other is the fourteenth-level storm bear. Lin Li
It seems that the fourteenth-level Storm Bear is perfect for guarding the entrance of the cave. Its strong physical strength and natural wind magic are the most suitable for this kind of one-man-for-one thing. Lin Li believes that
, if there is a level 14 storm bear standing at the entrance of the cave, at least before dark tomorrow night, everyone will not have to worry about the skeleton warrior chasing after him...
In comparison, the Iron-backed Wolf, which cost almost 100,000 gold coins, was much more fragile. He could hold on until tomorrow morning at most, and then he would collapse due to lack of physical strength. In Lin Li's mind, it was just a summon anyway, so he might as well summon a storm.
The giant bear was easy to come by. Since Adela could buy the scroll to summon the iron-backed wolf, it was impossible not to buy the scroll to summon the storm bear.
Fortunately, Adela didn't know what this guy was thinking, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would vomit blood...
The summoning scroll of the Iron-backed Wolf costs at least two hundred thousand gold coins, and it is a one-time consumable. The summoning scroll will lose its effect after being used once. Even if Adela has a high status in the Marfa family,
There are only three such summoning scrolls. Normally, they are like treasures. I just took them out and used them today, but I didn’t expect to be ridiculed and stingy by this guy...
The iron-backed wolf stopped at the entrance of the cave. The skeletal warriors swarming towards him seemed to have hit a copper wall. They lost their numerical advantage. The shortcomings in the strength of the skeletal warriors were immediately exposed.
A skeletal warrior is no match for the Iron-backed Wolf. He is often torn to pieces by his sharp claws before he can pounce on him.
"Okay, let's take a rest first..." After Adela led everyone into the cave, they walked forward for almost an hour before stopping at an empty mountainside: "The iron-backed gray wolf can
After sustaining it all night, let's take the time to take a rest and leave here early tomorrow morning."
A long day's journey and continuous battles had already exhausted everyone. Now that we finally got rid of those annoying skeleton warriors, everyone almost fell asleep, and soon they started snoring one after another.
, but Lin Li didn't sleep, and neither did Adela. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare. When things have developed to this point, there are not many secrets left between these two magicians who are good at disguise. They both know what the other is hiding.
Knowing his strength, he knew that the other party had no good intentions. If he fell asleep at this time, wouldn't he give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of him?
"Magic Adela, don't you want to sleep for a while?"
"No, no, everyone is very tired after a long day of work. I haven't done much anyway, so I'll just help everyone watch out."
"Haha..." Lin Li laughed dryly, but secretly cursed in his heart, "If I dare to sleep with your sister, you will definitely bleed me..."
"By the way, Magician Ferre, why don't you sleep?"
"Um..." Lin Li looked at Adela with a mean smile: "I'm not used to spending the night in the wild. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares when I fall asleep, such as dreaming about being hacked to death or being tied up.
It’s scary to get up and blast it with magic..."
"Haha..." Adela twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled dryer than sand: "Magic Feyre really loves to joke..."
In the end, the two guys with their own ulterior motives didn't even sleep. They each found a place in the corner and meditated for a whole night.
…………
The next morning, before Lin Li and the others set out, several groups of guests arrived at the camp near Death Scar.
There were almost a dozen people sitting in Hutton's tent. In addition to several important figures from the Marfa family, there were also Fan Gaolei, the leader of the Char Thieves Group, and his most capable subordinate Ronald, as well as the Doland Blacksmith Guild.
Gaza, the guild leader, also came, and with him was a warrior in his thirties. Judging from the name Gaza called him, he should be the strongest warrior in Doland besides Jason.
It’s Rolf.
In addition to them, there is also a magician from the Kingdom of Leiding. If Lin Li were here, he would probably be able to recognize it at a glance. This skinny magician, who exudes a strong aura of death, is clearly from the Dark Temple.
The high priest and legendary necromancer Mr. Senderos.
It's just that Senderos today is much more gentle than when he was in Olanna. At least he didn't carry a staff made of bones, nor did he summon a few skeletons to act as servants. He just wore a gray robe.
An ordinary staff, it looks no different from an ordinary magician.
Of course, this is just a look...
None of the people present dared to treat him as an ordinary magician.
"Master Senderos, if I let Mr. Thain know that you are here, I will definitely be very happy." Hutton's face was full of surprise. When he originally invited Senderos, he just held it in his arms.
The mentality of giving it a try, after all, this is a real legendary powerhouse. Although the Marfa family is huge, it is not so big that even the legendary powerhouse has to give face. When I originally extended the invitation, I just hoped that he would see it as a teacher.
Just helping out for the sake of um.
"I came here for other reasons, and it has nothing to do with Thain." Senderos' voice was cold and hoarse, and his words were merciless. However, no one in this tent felt that there was anything wrong with him.
There was nothing wrong. Even Hutton himself didn't feel at all that Senderos's words were disrespectful to his teacher Thain.
With Senderos's strength and status, there is no need to respect anyone.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you." Hutton smiled, not minding Senderos' rudeness. In fact, for Hutton, Senderos' coming was already the greatest benefit.
News, let alone verbal rudeness at this time, even if Senderos slapped him, I'm afraid he would smile on the other side.
"kindness."
After greeting Senderos, Hutton exchanged pleasantries with several others.
Then, Jason and Amendas were called.
"Come on, everyone is ready to go."
"yes!"
Half an hour later, the huge team of adventurers began to move towards the Death Scar.
………
At this time, Lin Li and others had already walked out of the cave and were walking along an equally steep and narrow path towards the canyon under the mountain wall.
The road ahead was flat, and the surroundings were surprisingly clean. Lin Li and others didn't even see a single bone along the way. Even the thick smell of death seemed to suddenly fade a lot, compared to the one from yesterday.
The desolate and eerie scene was a world of difference.
But the expression on Adela's face was not relaxed at all.
On the contrary, since passing through the cave, Adela seemed to be a different person, and every move she made seemed cautious.
Seeing him like this, Lin Li didn't dare to be careless. He kept using the wizard's eyes to conduct reconnaissance along the way. After walking two or three miles from the cave, Lin Li released at least fifty wizard's eyes.
Who would have known that this reconnaissance would actually allow Lin Li to detect something.
