"I didn't expect that we would meet again here. We haven't seen each other for ten years, right?"
By the river outside the camp, Theus pinched his neatly trimmed mustache and looked up and down at the burly Wolf. He was wearing a sleeveless leather breastplate, and the muscles of his exposed arms were ridged and bulging, like a majestic and weathered mountain.
It contains surging power. Once it shakes, it may have a force of five to six hundred pounds, chasing the ogre directly, and this is without undergoing a violent transformation!
With Titus's eyesight, Wolf is now at the level of a high-level warrior. His eyes are restrained, his breathing is deep and long, his muscles and bones can move together like lightning, and his skin is as thick as a rhinoceros. It is probably difficult for ordinary soldiers to
It didn't hurt Wolf at all.
It's just that unlike mages, warriors have clear arcane levels and spell levels. Different types of warriors are very different. Weapon masters who are good at using giant swords and battle axes can kill enemies like mowing grass and heavy weapons.
Sweeping through, the armor is broken and people are killed; the defensive iron guards wearing heavy plate armor and holding tall tower shields can even deflect missiles and ray spells with their shields; as for advanced archers who use special composite longbows, they can shoot out one arrow
The terrifying distance of one to two thousand feet is comparable to that of a human-shaped ballista, and it can maintain extremely high accuracy, no worse than the distance-increasing spell.
However, high-level warriors are also rare. A mage can improve his thinking ability and arcane magic level step by step through long-term and hard study. It is entirely possible to master advanced spells by staying in a mage tower for decades. As for whether he is good at fighting, then
Let’s talk about it differently.
However, high-level warriors rely entirely on actual fighting and fighting to accumulate experience and hone martial arts. This cannot be achieved by training alone. Although the threshold for warriors is indeed much lower than that of mages, they must reach the level of high-level warriors.
Not to mention that it is also affected by talent and qualifications, and must go through countless dangerous battles. Loss and death in the middle of promotion is the main reason why there are so few high-level warriors.
Even if there are more high-level warriors than high-level mages, they are far from being everywhere. Real high-level warriors are also very valuable, and some of them are recruited by nobles and wealthy people.
"Judging from your appearance, you must have become a high-profile person? 'Lord Theus'." Wolf's tone deliberately became a little more serious.
"Ahem!" Titus coughed twice, thinking that he was saved his life after being jointly dealt with by Xuan Weizi and Wolf. In the past, who would have thought that he would not only be promoted to a high mage, but also a mutual protector.
A high-profile figure in the league.
"You're doing well, too. You've raised a mercenary army yourself, and you've also developed your brand-new berserker skills." Theus asked, "Have you never thought of joining the alliance's standing army?"
Wolf smiled and said: "Why do you even ask about this? Is the Mutual Protection Alliance in a hurry to recruit troops now?"
Theus explained: "Have you heard about the situation in the north? In fact, various frictions and conflicts have continued in recent years, and both sides are recruiting troops. The empire has its sights on the vast farmland and plantations of the Mutual Protection Alliance, and this battle
It’s inevitable.”
Wolf sneered: "There is a lot of farmland in the empire? Who told them to destroy the countryside and turn them into large pastures? If there is a shortage of food? Wouldn't it be better to turn the pastures back into farmland?"
Theus hurriedly said: "How can it be so easy! Cashmere is the bulk export of the empire. The Kingdom of Yarnode in the north has to constantly import cashmere to make warm clothes? The princes and chiefs of Nahasa need luxurious carpet fabrics, and
The linings, armor, sleeping bags and blankets that are consumed in large quantities in various colonies all require cashmere? This is related to the livelihood of many people!"
"A lot of people? I'm afraid it's just the livelihood of the big nobles, the rich, and the big landowners, right? They took over all the farmland and drove the farmers to the New World? And now they think there's not enough food?" Wolf sighed: "Forget it? Ten years
Can we expect that things that haven’t changed before will change in ten years?”
Theus didn't understand whether Wolf was talking about himself? Or the empire's cashmere production. He could only reply: "The more so, the more important the mutual protection alliance is. And there is only so much land, and we can't bear to lose it to our fellow humans.
Steal it? You can only steal it from the alien monsters."
"I understand." Wolf looked at the dark green skyline to the south, which is the vast rainforest and lake area that stretches for hundreds of miles. It is also the land where snake people and frog people have survived and multiplied for many years, and asked: "How many of us are there in total?
Going south?"
"Counting you, there are four of us. Oh, I forgot to introduce these two." Titus turned around and motioned to the two people behind him, pointing at the girl with a calm face: "Wolf, do you remember her?"
Wolf first looked at the black cat in the girl's arms and blurted out: "Rosaline?"
"Hey, little Wolf, long time no see. It seems you haven't slacked off in the past few years." The black cat yawned, and the words were transmitted directly through telepathy.
"It seems that Dr. Olenso also attaches great importance to the war here, and he has brought several of our old acquaintances together." Wolf raised his eyes and looked at the girl, and said: "As for this...have we met somewhere?
?”
Rosaleen shook her tail, like a noble lady leaning on the bed, and said with a smile: "Wolf, she is Xiaomeida. She was only seven or eight years old when you left Chaihei Town!"
Wolf looked down at the girl, and looked at Theus with some surprise: "She...could she be too young? We are going to a place where the frogmen are tightly guarded. Even if she is a student of Dr. Olenso, fighting
Get up and we can't distract ourselves from protecting her."
"Uncle Wolf, I won't hold you back." Mida spoke in such a calm tone.
"Who, who is uncle? I'm not that old yet!" Wolf just retorted when he suddenly felt a subtle aura from Milda's body, which was transmitted to him invisibly, making his body active.
"Is this... a psychic power?" Wolf looked at his palm: "Why does it look like a druid's healing spell?"
Rosalian's tail was raised as she explained: "This is Olanso's improved spiritual treatment, which focuses on the metabolism and cyclic transformation of life. Even if you lose your hands and feet, Xiaomida can take them back to you...
Of course, it is impossible to heal dozens of people from serious injuries at once like a high-level priest or a druid who is good at healing. But it is enough for just a few of us to go on adventures as a team. If it doesn't work, just ask Thius.
Guys bring potions and scrolls, and this guy brought a bunch."
Theus smiled ashamedly, while Wolf did not expect that after ten years, Milda's psychic powers had grown to this extent. He could see that Milda was actually close to the level of a high-level psychic. With such rapid progress,
Only geniuses with extremely high talents and qualifications can do it.
Although Wolf did not have "secret vision", he still noticed with his spiritual consciousness that there was more than one psychic item on Mida's body. Even the seemingly simple traveler's clothes on her body contained extraordinary psychic powers.
Fluctuation, it can be seen that Mida is highly valued by Xuan Weizi. You must know that a well-equipped medium spell caster is not only powerful in combat, but also able to deal with more complex encounters than a warrior.
"Okay, then this one is..." Wolf looked at the strange guard with black armor, black helmet and black cloak. On the surface, it seemed that this person didn't even carry a weapon. Could it be that he was one of those people who was used to throwing knives and daggers?
A rogue hiding under his clothes and wrist guards? And looking at this dark appearance, he does look like a rogue who is proficient in stealth attacks.
"His name is Vader. He was rescued by Teacher Olanso from the Xuefeng Autonomous Territory a few years ago. Because he was burned all over his body and was given a curse that is difficult to remove, he must wear this armor." Theus introduced:
"Despite his appearance, in fact he was personally taught by Teacher Olanso and is now a very powerful spiritual warrior. He is responsible for guarding the security of Evergreen City and specializes in dealing with those lurking spies and assassins. He will not be easily caught.
Send out."
Wolf stared closely at the psychic warrior named Vader. He could not tell the slightest details about this man. He was as mysterious as an abyss. Only the sound of heavy breathing like a bellows came from the helmet mask.
"Since you are someone trusted by Dr. Olenso, I have nothing to say." Wolf spread his hands and said, "I can leave at any time. How do you plan to set off? Teleport directly?"
"Teleported to an environment with abundant water elements and chaotic magic energy? I still want to live for a few more years!" Theus rolled his eyes, and then took out a small bottle from the dimensional bag, which contained a crystal boat: "This
It is the 'Ether Magic Ship' lent to me by Mr. Olanso, and it has been improved by the Ethereum Master. It can carry out etheric submersion using elemental energy. Mr. Olanso said this is called 'escape method'. Now we will use the method to access the ether.
If you sneak directly into the river where the frogmen live, this is considered water escape."
…
Warm sunshine spreads across the land, and the meandering rivers reflect the golden light. Hills, like green diamonds, rise abruptly from the plain. A large city stands just between the hills and the broad river.
Green Diamond City, the capital of the Everglades Province, is actually almost located on the northern border of the province. In fact, the large swamp rainforest in the south is difficult to cultivate, so it had to be placed here.
At this time, a ball of purple-gold light was seen coming from the northwest sky, speeding towards the Green Diamond City. The clouds and mist in the sky rolled with it, dragons and tigers roared in the air, and there was a commotion for a while.
Upon seeing this, the mages stationed on the clock tower in the city quickly cast communication spells, and the soldiers hurriedly rang the bell to spread the warning throughout the Green Diamond City. Each spell turret was filled with various powers, and each one constructed a crossbow.
The cannons were raised to the sky and the strings were drawn, and the city defenders cast arcane spells one after another.
At the critical moment, the purple-gold ball of light was several miles away and shot out a brilliant ray of light toward the towering castle built on a hill in Green Diamond City, like a golden bridge, bridging the gap between heaven and earth!
At this time, a spell message spread from the castle to all the wizards in Green Diamond City, calming everyone's panic. When they looked up, they could vaguely see a black-robed figure on the Golden Bridge, surrounded by a layer of crystal clear
The flowing waves reflect the rainbow ring, just like a god coming to the mortal world, and the heart of awe and admiration arises spontaneously.
"Who is this? Such a big battle? The Archmage even asked us to lift our guard." A mage apprentice asked in surprise.
The mysterious knight who answered said: "I am afraid that the only one who has made such a noise and movement is the 'Duke of the Heart' in Evergreen City. I didn't expect that he actually came to Green Diamond City in person."
The mage apprentice wondered: "That legendary psychic? Why don't you use teleportation spells? Do you have to make a big fuss like this?"
"How do I know this? Maybe it's to show off your strength on purpose?"
…
"This will be enough to make those restless guys in Green Diamond City reduce unnecessary actions."
In the castle, in a living room overlooking the Green Diamond City, Xuan Weizi picked up the wine glass and put it down again, looking at the crystal ball on the table, and said: "Master Qidaluoke, please invite me to the Green Diamond City.
, but I don’t show up, what does this mean? If you are worried about my malicious behavior, then you can rest assured that the person who came to Green Diamond City was just a simulacrum, and it was just an illusion to deceive others.
It’s just an effect.”
In the crystal ball is an old man's face with a stiff expression, which is obviously not Archmage Qi Darok himself. Listening to his words: "Please forgive me, if the next thing is not too important, I will not arrange such a meeting.
"
"I have listened to Master Nelum's report on the situation of the Archmage." Xuan Weizi said: "Human life is limited after all. The fact that the Archmage can survive for more than three hundred years is enough to prove his superb arcane attainments.
Already."
"But it's not enough!" An urgent tone came from the crystal ball: "I heard that boy Nelem said that the life-extending elixir you made can effectively slow down aging and ensure physical health?"
"This is true, but it is not completely unconditional." Xuan Weizi said bluntly: "Master Nelum used to take alchemical medicines and cooperated with arcane magic to delay the aging of the body. His vitality did not slow down, so the life-extending elixir was effective.
Possibly, and it is combined with the Druid's 'Immortal Body' skill, and it is not a true life extension. If it is an old person who is dying, the life extension elixir can only make people linger for a while, but cannot completely reverse life and death."
The reason why Archmage Qi Darok invited Xuan Weizi to meet in Green Diamond City this time was very pure. This old man who witnessed the creation of the Empire and the Pentagram Tower finally reached the end of his life.
The human race has reached its twilight years at the age of seventy, and the vast majority of ordinary people will never survive this age and will have long since died due to torment and pain.
As for mages, this type of people who have an extremely strong desire for self-existence, eternal life can be said to be the most classic and common desire. Excluding various accidental deaths, the normal life span of a senior mage is eighty or ninety years old.
.If the ninth-level arcana is touched, an arcane matrix appears in the body, and the vitality of the body begins to undergo subtle changes, then it is possible to live to one hundred thirty or forty.
But this is basically a theoretical value. The abilities of mages are destined to find various ways to delay aging and extend lifespan. But unless they are promoted to the legendary level and their body and soul undergo essential transformation, their lifespan is still limited.
A person like Archmage Qi Darok, who has spent his whole life wandering in front of the legendary level, relying on various magical means, can live to more than three hundred years without transforming into a lich. This is already enough to be loaded.
