Chapter 89: The Unlucky Mage (Part 1)
"Continue to move forward, we can walk a day without a walk through the two hundred miles of mountainous areas in front." Rex took the magic map, found the current coordinates, and enlarged the graphics on the map.
“There is a village here?”
"Maybe there, maybe it has been moved away. This is the territory of the Kokang people."
"It's better to get around." Salin didn't want to cause trouble. The Kokang people were brave and warlike mountain nations. Qin Yin conquered this land and did not destroy the Kokang people. No noble here was willing to come. None of the nobles were willing to come. No rewarded land would require life to enjoy it.
"It's okay, I will speak Kokang. The people here are good to the mages. And in comparison, they hate Yunliu people even more."
Salin Moran, Yun Liu's predecessor was the Fourth Dynasty. The Fourth Dynasty once carried out a massacre in the Kokang Mountains. He happened to see this. He had been hatred for more than a thousand years, but he didn't expect that the Kokang people had not forgotten it.
Rex marked the detailed route on the map and asked Salin to record it.
Next, we need to check the equipment. In Longya Town, Salin used up a large number of low-level scrolls, and most of the eighth-level magic cores that were used to construct the puppet were consumed, and he could no longer support such a battle.
The magic stored in Salin's bronze magic book has been consumed, and now there is no time to stop and store magic. Most of his intermediate and advanced scrolls are blank, and Salin cannot write these scrolls.
If there is time, Salin can also write a large number of low-level blank scrolls. Now he can only install new magic cores for the Demon Hunting Spider, and he looks forward to not having high-intensity battles in the past few days.
Rex suffered a lot of losses. After using the Ring of Shinra, he could no longer use it within a year. The two magics stored in the magic wand were used up, and she did not have the ability to store the same magic. Fortunately, she did not use the Silver Magic Book, and the eighteen intermediate magics were the strongest abilities she retained.
It is easier to store magic in magic books than writing scrolls, and it takes a lot of time. The main advantage is that there is no problem of success rate.
The disadvantage of magic books is also quite obvious, that is, the magic stored in it must be stored by the user himself, otherwise there will be a great possibility of elemental dissipation during the release process, making the magic invalid. Salin himself does not have the skill of writing silver magic books, and the six intermediate magics stored in the magic books now have become life-saving straws.
Fortunately, neither Shika nor Neris were injured. Salin didn't know that Neris's body had been strengthened again, eliminating some hidden dangers caused by absorbing chalcedony.
Sika carried Rex again, and the four of them carefully walked down the hillside and walked into the mountains. There was no way under their feet and the soil was slippery. If it were other teams, the speed would be much slower. However, Salin's team was still moving forward at a speed of nearly 20 miles per hour. After crossing several mountains, a huge village appeared in front of the four people.
Salin stopped, there was no sound in the village. There was a tower built of wood at the entrance of the village, and there was no one inside. Looking in from the entrance of the village, Salin only saw crooked wooden houses and potholes.
No one!
"Nelise, go in and take a look." Salin didn't dare to enter lightly. The size of the village seemed to have at least more than one hundred families. Now it was quiet, and there was not even a breathing animal.
Rex's injury was not serious. At least she could release magic, but she only injured her ribs, making her less interested in talking. Now it was Salin who was in command of the team.
Neris nodded. In fact, she knew that there was no one in the village if she didn't go in. To be precise, there was no living life in the entire village. Neris is now adult and has become much more courageous. Even if she meets a black magician, she will not suffer too much.
She entered the village, walked around, and then left.
The villages of Kokang are very simple. The wooden houses off the ground are for protection against snakes and insects. They do not engage in large-scale planting, and food will be stored together.
"Master, nothing."
"Nothing?" Salin asked, "What does this mean?"
"It's just that there is nothing, no one, no food, no weapons, no monsters, no livestock..." Qin Yinyu of Nelise was getting better and better. She continued to tell the same story, and Salin stopped her.
“Is there any danger?”
"No, it's just an empty village."
Salin nodded, he was overly cautious. This was not the Caucasus region. The Kokang people were brave, but there were no Caucasian priests. Among the warriors, there were few people who could reach the level of swordsmen. The Kokang priests had long been killed by the Fourth Dynasty. The only thing they had to worry about was the Kokang people's poison, but he was a magician and could detect toxins.
"Let's go and have a rest." Salin felt very tired. His nerves have been tense these days and he has to face danger at any time. One of his arms was also broken, and it took five to seven days to recover. This is the credit of the magic liquid. Most people have to get injured in their bones and take at least three months to recover.
Without a quick move, Shika put down Rex and said, "You guys come in, I'll go up to the tower."
She carried the stick behind her back and climbed up the tower from the ladder with her hands and feet. Instead of walking through the door, she flipped in through the window. She had just disappeared from the window, and there was a huge collision sound in the tower.
Then, Shika's angry shout came out, something was broken, and a black shadow flew out and landed on the ground. Salin kept turning on his cold vision and saw that it was a skeleton.
The skeleton fell heavily to the ground, and Salin did not ignore the dark light in its eyes. The illusory swamp was immediately released and trapped the skeleton.
Click... click...
The skeleton's jaws opened and closed, struggling to get up, Shika's voice came from the tower: "Let it not move."
The skeleton soon stopped moving, and Shika's head poked out from the window of the tower and said to Salin: "I'll catch a guy."
"Didn't you say there is no one?" Salin glanced at Neris angrily.
Nelis said aggrievedly: "There is no such thing in the village, this..."
"Next!" Shika threw a man from the window, the man danced in the air and screamed loudly. Rex released a bondage technique, and the fine wind ropes wrapped around the man and placed him lightly on the ground.
The man had a undressed face, his robe was full of holes, and he had one missing shoe on his feet. He was tied up by the restraint technique, and his face was facing Salin and others. This was an extremely simple face, just like the honest farmer Skochenya had.
Even the Pope praised that in Skochenya, if a person is willing to farm honestly, this person must have a pure soul.
"Don't kill me, I have no money, I'm very poor, I..." The man screamed like a pig. His face was thick and his eyes were filled with tears. He looked so pitiful.
Salin walked up, looked down at the guy, and asked, "Mr. Necromancer, how could you have a skeleton in the undead plane if you don't have money?"
The skeleton suddenly jumped up and was about to pounce on Salin. A white light flashed in Salin's hand, and an ice arrow hit the skeleton's chest accurately. The skeleton was suffocated by the ice arrow. Salin said: "If it moves randomly, I will use the ice arrow to break your head."
The bound necromancer did not dare to go around. Only then did he realize that Salin was wearing a gray magic robe with two magic marks on the magic robe. Level 5 magician?
This was his misunderstanding. This magic robe was originally from Rex, and Salin is now just a level 4 mage.
"Mr. Necromancer, I have to let you down." Salin waved and asked Neris to mention the Necromancer and walked into the village.
Seeing that Salin's instant magic was unaware of no signs, the necromancer suddenly died of resistance. The skeleton that fell to the ground followed behind the four people, and Shika did not come down from the tower.
After finding a clean wooden house, Rex put a blanket in the house and sat down to rest first. Neris, the Nellith Mage threw it on the ground, and the skeleton stood at the door. Without the orders of the Nellith Mage, it did not attack anyone.
Salin looked at the skeleton for a while and said, "It's a pity that it's incomplete. Mr. Necromancer, there is not a single person in this village. Did you kill him?"
The undead mage is not a black magician and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but their tempers are not very good, so it is difficult to say what they do when they are angry.
The honest and loyal young undead mage clicked a few times and felt that Salin was not easy to deal with. He looked at the meditating Rex, feeling unspeakable depression. He just found a quiet place to sleep and was arrested and asked questions. Other mages are so respected, why are they so unlucky? The bondage technique is a simple magic and lasts for a long time, but it must at least exceed the enemy's level to last for such a long time.
Damn, two great magicians!
"Mr. Necromancer, here's the only way I ask is gentle. If you make me lose patience, it will not be a good thing for you."
"I..." The Necromancer thought for a long time and felt that he shouldn't be angry with the two great magicians. He had to answer honestly: "Sir, I'm just a little wizard, how dare I kill people blatantly. When I came, it was empty and I couldn't even find a bone. Sir, do you have something to eat? I'm going to starve to death."
Seeing that his face was pale and weak, Salin shook his head and said, "It's really a failure to do this by the mage. I don't eat it unless you speak honestly. Don't tell me that you are poor. The cheapest one in the Necromancer flames also costs millions of gold coins."
The undead mage said with a sad face: "It is because of this that I have become very poor. Otherwise, I would have summoned the army of skeletons and would have become the royal mage long ago, so why should I run around?"
"The army of skeletons? Just you? Do you think I don't know anything? Unless you can find a stable channel and you can open the plane of the undead at any time."
