In the Black Forest, fatal dangers lurk anytime and anywhere, especially in a world where magical power exists.
In the ancient legend of Lahirion, the world was originally formed from a boiling and violent ocean of "origin". The primitive energy of chaos fluctuated in the ocean of origin, and the first big thing was created in the collision.
The bubble is called "Anke", and when this big bubble burst, the first living creatures split out from it. These creatures struggled on the remaining fragments after the big bubble burst, constantly absorbing the energy of the source, and gradually let the bubble
The surrounding source ocean cooled down, and the world was formed, and the cooled source became the first sea water, surrounding the Lahirien continent in the form of an endless ocean.
But not all "original creatures" survived this process. Some creatures went crazy in the process of absorbing the source element. They desperately absorbed the energy, and finally let themselves fall apart. These failures caused self-annihilation due to greed.
They become the source of all monsters in the world, and their corpses turned into powder fly to the whole world. Every particle of dust becomes a monster. These monsters inherit the greedy nature and crave for it all the time.
The nourishment of magic power - so they all gather near those magic sources that have powerful magic reactions but lack control, becoming the most feared opponent of every magic user.
This is why Leah used an iron staff to practice thirty-six crazy magic stick techniques.
Accompanied by a piercing scream, a lizard that was as black as ink and covered with hard crystal scales was thrown high into the air, and after landing on the ground, a deep ravine with a length of ten meters was created.
The vitality flowed from this monster, and its alienated crystal scales quickly weathered and fell off like sand, revealing the normal-sized lizard body underneath. After a few seconds, the lizard body also began to rapidly decay and shrink, slowly changing into
It became a pile of rotten flesh and bones with almost no visible shape.
Leah kept swinging the iron staff forward, and after taking a long breath, she slowly responded: "Bahli, an expert on magical creatures, figured out three hundred years ago that these 'Demon Eaters' are actually just
They are just mutated products that have been severely corroded by specific magic energy. They did not gather near the source of magic due to greed, but they originally lived in these places and were later corrupted by magic..."
She put away her staff and watched in astonishment as Lily, who was not far away, used her giant alloy sword as huge as a door panel to carefully slap a demon-eating furbolg into the ground. Then she shook her head and continued to do something.
Explanatory work due to famous scholars: "Although myths and legends eventually turned into legends, and scholars also confirmed that there is no so-called sea of origin outside the Endless Ocean, the danger of these demon-eating monsters is always real. Casting spells
Readers are most afraid of encountering this kind of thing, because these monsters themselves are mutated by magic, and their skin is so resistant to magic that it is almost immune to magic. Therefore, when a mage encounters these monsters, they usually either use a staff like me.
Knock it, or give it to the soldiers..."
She was twitching as she spoke, because in the corner of her sight, little girl Elizabeth was kicking a demon-eating monitor lizard over, and then forcefully opened the monitor lizard's mouth with one hand, and held up a large basin-sized pot with the other.
The fireball was stuffed into the giant lizard's belly - the demon-devouring monster was indeed extremely resistant to magic, but that didn't mean it would have a huge appetite. After stuffing the third big fireball, the poor thing
The monster finally died: it was strangled to death.
"Yeah!!" The little devil girl cheered happily, with an innocent and cute smile on her face.
Leah completely lost interest in explaining and ended her teaching hastily: "...some special combat techniques are also effective against demon-devouring monsters."
The team encountered a monster attack shortly after entering the black forest, and what appeared at first was not a traditional beast, but the "monster" that Leah mentioned before that became violent due to the influence of magic. Holding the hand
With the attitude of collecting environmental parameters of this world and collecting biological samples at the same time, Hao Ren and his party immediately jumped into the battle with swords, guns, swords and halberds, just like a group of real mercenaries - but Leah, as her employer, did not watch the battle honestly from the sidelines, but
He also rolled up his sleeves.
This lady magician is indeed different from ordinary academic scholars. Everyone immediately realized this when she rushed forward with her staff. After all, no normal scholar can lift an iron staff weighing dozens of kilograms.
He was able to wield the tiger with great force, and could also use thirty-six enchanted stick techniques. Even with Hao Ren's extensive knowledge, he only knew of one exception: Anthony J. Alfonso, and this Miss Leia
, she is obviously the second exception.
But to Miss Leah, the group of "mercenaries" she had just met before her were more than just exceptions.
The fighting style of these guys is simply unheard of - it seriously challenges her knowledge of every combat profession and every actual combat tactic. Any instructor who has passed the qualification certificate will probably turn around after seeing the battle of these guys.
Burn your certificates on fire: The werewolf giant swordsman doesn't know a single sword move, and he uses the door sword to hit monsters from beginning to end; the fire mage Loli only knows one fireball move, and then hits the monster with a big fireball.
There are monsters; the warrior named Yzaks doesn't have any moves. His main attack method is to grab the enemy casually and then use the enemy to smash the monster; the snake demon healer has united himself from the beginning of the battle. I didn't know it just now.
Where did he go, but several healing spells were thrown in time during the battle; the catman known as the Night Assassin was never seen again from the beginning of the battle, and he only ran out when everyone was almost finished fighting, still holding something in his mouth.
Catching a fish - this is simply incomprehensible, because there is no river in the forest. How far did she travel to catch a fish?
If one or two maverick guys show up, Leah can still explain it by saying that "everything in the world is full of wonders", but it is not easy to understand that such a group of strange guys hang out in groups. She suddenly begins to doubt that she is looking for something.
Is it a mistake for these guys to become helpers? Putting aside the strange fighting style of this group of people, their strength alone is already a model for walking sideways wherever they go. It is possible for such a group of people to travel
Did you encounter an unexpected crisis and go to the door of the mercenary union to do some private work?
However, her doubts were quickly interrupted by Hao Ren's words: "Okay, okay, these things are not as difficult as you said."
Leah's eyes twitched: "Because not everyone can smash down a whole group of demon-eating monsters like you - are you guys really just a group of adventurers who come out to make a living?"
"A 'battle mage' who can wield a staff and beat Warcraft, do you have the nerve to talk to us?" Hao Ren laughed and did not intend to answer Leah's question. Anyway, he was just a passerby in this world, and he did not care about these details.
Question, "You don't have to worry about our origins. We will definitely complete this contract well anyway. Isn't there a saying in the mercenary industry: Don't ask about names, just count the gold coins."
Leah raised her eyebrows: "This sentence sounds a bit professional."
At this time, Vivian came over carrying Gun's belt: "We have started to encounter monsters. How far is the ruins you mentioned?"
The cat girl struggled hard and twisted her upper body: "Put me down, meow! Put me down! I don't think you need help to fish!"
"The demon-eating monster has appeared, and we are not far from the entrance." Leah ignored the catman's noise and looked down at an enchantment scroll in her hand. It was a magic she had copied and made in advance.
The map automatically records everyone's action route after entering the forest and the locations where they encountered attacks. "Just as I expected, the magic power of the ruins is still leaking out, which makes it much easier to find..."
Leah said, put away the scroll, raised the iron staff and drew a simple magic rune in mid-air. As the symbol gradually dissipated in the air, she raised her head and looked in a certain direction deep in the jungle: "Then
side."
Under the guidance of Miss Magician, everyone encountered several more non-threatening monster attacks, and finally saw the shadows of some ruined walls among the overgrown vines and fallen giant trees.
The ruins are already very close.
"These things..." Vivian looked at more and more ruins and debris around her with a trace of doubt in her eyes, "Why do I always feel like I've seen them somewhere?"
In the dark and gloomy depths of the black forest, relics of civilization from ancient times are quietly dormant in the grass, enduring the erosion and erosion of time, thick soil and rotten leaves, years of moss, and intertwined vines
These ancient traces were buried deeply, and only a few spires or a few broken bricks and tiles were exposed in the once magnificent palace. But even those little broken bricks and tiles made both Hao Ren and Vivian feel excited.
An inexplicable feeling of familiarity.
However, it was definitely not a building in the style of the Goddess of Creation - Hao Ren was absolutely sure of this.
He has seen a lot of things in the style of the Goddess of Creation. Whether it is the temple complex at the Gate of Suluen, the Palace of the Goddess seen in the illusion, or the starships of the guardian giants, they all have very distinctive characteristics, and recently
He has been following up on the research in this area, which is very impressive. If these things in front of him are really related to the Founding Star, he will definitely be able to tell it at a glance.
So what are these ruins in front of us?
Hao Ren frowned, and some vague impressions gradually emerged in his mind, but before he grasped the key point, Leah had already led everyone to the location of the main body of the ruins.
"Ah, I found it! It's really here!"
The young female mage shouted happily.
The scene ahead suddenly became clear.
There is actually a quite vast open space in the forest. Even though a long time has passed, the ancient trees and bushes have not been able to completely swallow up the remains of the ancient civilization here. In that open space, the ancient pillars broke and collapsed and were half buried in the soil.
, the gorgeous palace walls lean crookedly together, surrounded by broken bricks and rubble, and a particularly eye-catching building is located in the center of all the ruins - strictly speaking, it is just the remaining dome of a certain building.
, the roof with gorgeous patterns and smooth lines poked out of the ground, covered with moss and winding vines. There was a big hole on one side, and a broad-leaved tree poked its head out of the hole.
Years of wind and rain erosion have almost completely destroyed the original color of these wrecks, leaving them covered with a layer of dilapidated gray-black. However, on the gray-black background, many golden lines and patterns can still be vaguely seen.
Golden lines and patterns...luxury style...streamline...
Hao Ren felt something stirred in his mind, and then he immediately began to compare the architectural ruins he saw in front of him with certain things in his memory, and at the same time, he painted all the ruins with golden paint in his mind.
Then he realized that he did recognize this style, especially the complex patterns on the surfaces of these buildings. He had seen them in person at the Sulun Gate: on the spaceship of the God-killing race.
