A bonfire was lit in the cave, and the bright firelight dispelled the darkness and brought warmth.
A black iron pot was set up on the bonfire, and large pieces of animal meat were tumbling in the boiling soup, making an alluring sound.
The wizard took out rye bread from her backpack and distributed it to everyone.
The dry and hard bread slices are placed next to the fire and baked, and they quickly become hot and soft. They are then dipped in hot gravy and paired with pieces of meat to make today's dinner.
"The Wizard of Highview."
The bald wizard asked while drinking soup: "Is this your first time in the Evernight Forest?"
Previously, the mission team was always on the road, and there were basically no opportunities for communication.
Previously, when everyone was trekking in the Evernight Forest, they had to keep quiet to avoid attracting the attention of monsters. Now it was finally time to relax.
The bald wizard arranged a talisman array in the cave, which can isolate sound, light and breath, and also serve as a warning.
Gao Jing swallowed the meat in his mouth and said with a smile, "Yes."
The bald wizard's question was just an introduction, to open up the conversation.
As the initiator of this mission, he is not the strongest in the team, but he is obviously very good at communication and his eloquence is quite good.
After some exchanges, except for the evil wizard who didn't like to talk, everyone else talked about a lot of interesting anecdotes.
Some of the rumors involving wizards made Gao Jing listen with interest.
After eating this simple dinner, he took out a few cigarettes from his bag and shared them with his teammates.
The cigarettes are of course customized in the overworld to a huge size.
The bald wizard wondered: "What is this?"
"cigarette."
Gao Jing first lit one and smoked one himself to demonstrate: "A cigarette after a meal will make you endlessly happy."
Everyone was amused, even the evil wizard showed a smile.
"I'll try."
The bald wizard was the first to take the cigarette and took a puff, almost choking to death: "Cough, cough, cough!"
But the wizard is not an ordinary person. He quickly mastered the correct drawing method: "Well, it's interesting!"
With him taking the lead, the burly wizard and the sinister wizard followed suit, and even the wizard gave it a try out of curiosity.
She commented on this: "Nobles should like this thing."
Gao Jing really has the idea of selling cigarettes in the inner city of the Capital of Kings - the recent expenses have been a bit large.
The bald wizard was still unsatisfied after smoking one, so he asked Gao Jing for another one.
Gao Jing simply gave him a package.
Cigarettes and alcohol are indeed social tools. After smoking a few cigarettes, the distance between teammates is greatly shortened.
Everyone’s perception of Gao Jing has also improved a lot.
The next morning, the team continued on their way.
As the team went deeper and deeper into the Evernight Forest, the effect of the medicine powder the sorcerer sprinkled on everyone was greatly reduced, and they encountered several surprise attacks by monsters along the way.
Fortunately, these monsters were not very strong and were destroyed or defeated by everyone's combined efforts.
The bald wizard is not only good at setting up formations, but also has very good commanding skills. The burly wizard has very strong fighting power and likes to charge forward and smash the enemy's heads with his warhammer. He is more powerful than the soldiers.
The evil wizard has the highest level, but he is good at sneak attacks and plotting. He can only take out the enemy's vital points without taking action!
Gao Jing's duty is to provide support and at the same time protect the nanny in the team, the Sorcerer.
The wizard's cultivation level is the lowest, but her importance is irreplaceable.
Through this kind of battle, the five people's cooperation has become more and more tacit, and the combat efficiency has been greatly improved.
On the third day after entering the Evernight Forest, the mission team finally arrived at their destination.
What appeared in front of everyone was an ancient ruin hidden deep in the forest that had gone through many years.
Although most of the buildings have collapsed and are covered by vines and vegetation, the former glory can still be vaguely seen.
It is said that in the tens of thousands of years after the great cataclysm, some mysterious countries appeared in the wilderness. They are not well known to the public, but they have their own city-states and civilizations.
Orcs were once one of them.
However, due to various reasons, these countries have been quietly lost in the long river of history.
The ruins they left behind were constantly discovered by subsequent adventurers.
Some of the items unearthed in the ruins have incredible power and efficacy, as well as various precious materials.
They are all huge wealth.
In the Evernight Forest, hundreds of ancient ruins have been discovered.
The area of this ruin is not very large. It should have been a small city, but it has never been discovered before.
The first discoverer was the bald wizard!
Since he was alone and weak, after accidentally discovering the ruins, he immediately returned to the Temple of Witches and submitted a mission application to recruit people to conduct a comprehensive exploration of the ruins.
The advantage of doing this is that you can get additional merit rewards. The Temple of Witches has always encouraged wizards to conduct in-depth exploration of the Evernight Forest and dig out the secrets in the ancient ruins.
Like this exploration mission, if the five-person team cannot complete it, they can still hang it in the Hall of Merit.
If others complete the task, the bald wizard as the starter can still share in the rewards.
Of course, there are always great risks in exploring unknown ruins. You must know that there is a high possibility of ghosts, resentful spirits and even monsters appearing in these ruins.
"The last time I came here, I encountered a group of resentful spirits."
The bald wizard reminded solemnly: "I almost died in there, so everyone must be careful!"
When he talked about his previous experiences, he looked frightened, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.
After speaking, the bald wizard nodded towards the wizard.
The latter raised the staff in his hand and began to cast spells.
Balls of flames appeared above everyone's heads.
These flames are about the size of a fist and about three feet high above everyone's head.
And continues to emit soft and bright light.
Light magic!
This is a special spell. The power it exudes can drive away ghosts and suppress resentful spirits.
But it has no effect when encountering stronger monsters.
In addition, in the dark ruins, the long-lasting light magic is also an excellent lighting.
However, after continuously blessing the four people and herself with the Light Spirit Technique, the sorceress seemed quite tired, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, obviously she had spent a lot of energy.
"Let's go."
The bald wizard waved his staff and said to Gao Jing: "Pay attention to protect Liv."
Gao Ding nodded.
Liv is a witch. She is in the first level, but she is good at healing and assisting with spells. She plays a very important role in the team!
The bald wizard took the lead, followed closely by Gao Jing and others.
Entering this unknown and mysterious ruins!
