MTL - Sword of Daybreaker-Chapter 12 shadow
Anonymous jungle.
In this area of development that is far from the center of civilization, similar unnamed areas can be seen everywhere - although all land has lords, not all land can be reclaimed.
The kingdom has no extra manpower and resources to develop the border areas close to the wasteland, and because the elves have helped humans build a magnificent wall that surrounds the tower of the sentinel and stretches the entire wasteland, the contemporary countries do not. There is a need to hoard too much force at the border to deal with monsters that occasionally wander from the waste soil, so the border is in such a vicious circle of continuing recession.
There is not only one way to go from Cecil to the north of Tanzan, but the most recent one is to go through the forest. If you choose another route, you have to bypass the entire area, or you have to go through a more dangerous area, which is not a wise choice.
The deeper the forest, the darker the sky, and the thicker leaves on the ground become more annoying. Although it is not a big forest here, a forest that is not disturbed by humans and arrogantly grows, so that Gao Wen has risen and gained insight. In the past, he lived in the artificial jungle cast by reinforced concrete. For many years, he could only look at the world from a far-away perspective. At this moment, he personally stepped into it and realized that his imagination of the natural environment was too superficial.
But fortunately, he is gradually getting used to this body. The physical strength and comprehensive qualities of the body itself make it easier for him to face the challenge of survival in the wilderness. The Byron Knight and Amber are also nowhere to wear mountains. Lin’s experience, this road is still not so bad.
Only Herti is suffering a bite--even if the Cecil family has fallen, it is still a noble family with a long history and direct loyalty to the king. Herti, who is born among them, is a lady of the roots. In the aristocratic circle, the lady has been arduous and hard-working, but in the face of the challenges of nature, she really needs some experience.
Besides, a mage, physical strength itself is not likely to be strong.
Rebecca’s performance made Gao Wen a little surprised: the girl who looks like a female high school student on the earth didn’t fall behind the road, running in a forest without a road at all, even worse than those who were tall and tall. Gao Wen asked curiously. Rebecca was a little embarrassed when answering: "I was crazy when I was young, always running around like a boy, even exploring the woods of the territory. At that time I still Did not show magical talent, my father thought that I might be trained as a knight... The result made him disappointed. But although I can't walk the knight's way, I usually pay attention to exercise. After all, I said it in the ancestral training. To be a lord who can protect the people, you first need a strong body..."
Gao Wen nodded silently. Although the N+1 layer granddaughter sometimes had his head like a door, it was quite simple and honest.
This is rare in the aristocratic circle.
The N-year-old granddaughter who is already unable to breathe is still not learning.
"There may be some monsters in the depths of this forest, but it won't be strong," the Byron Knight used a long sword to pick up a black thing from the ground. The group slowly became at the tip of his sword. Transparent, and gradually dissipated in the air, "shadow elements are enriched, the center of the woodland should have a natural magic focus, but it should be a weak one."
"It must be very weak," Amber said in his hand, turning a delicate little dagger. While talking about the situation around him, "If there is a high-quality magic focus, this forest must have been announced by the Secret Society or the Star Masters Association. They have been their sites since ancient times. And there are no obvious variations in the surrounding plants...therein that the enrichment of elements here is not even affected by flowers and plants."
Gao Wen looked at the two wild survival experts a little unexpectedly: "How do you understand?"
Rebecca looked at Byron: "Before allegiance to my father, Uncle Byron used to be a mercenary."
Byron doesn't seem to be used to mentioning the past: "It's all gone, Miss."
The little dagger in the hand of Amber turned more and more cheerful: "Hey, look like a vicissitude, who hasn't ordered it yet?"
Although Miss Half Elf's face is "my past is very powerful, so you come to ask me how good" expression, but Gao Wen is not intended to cooperate with this girl's performance. From this short one-and-a-half-day contact, he is enough to understand some of the other's temperament. Her rich field knowledge is due to the fact that she will be chased by the patrol team and then have to drill down. In the wilderness, the wilderness is only able to survive, but if you really want to ask, she will definitely not say so. She will definitely make a thrilling and magnificent story for you - for example, once traveled the whole continent and talked with the Elf King... ...
During the speech, they have already walked a little further into the deeper part of the forest. The surrounding trees grow denser and denser, and the skylight that shines through the canopy to the ground is even more sparse.
Gao Wen looked up, and between the shadows of the shadows, the big day was divided into tiny pieces of light, as if there was a huge plate that was buckled in the sky, and the sun shining on it seemed to be more cold. some.
The weakest Betty couldn't help but sneeze. She felt her hands cold and the pans almost fell to the ground.
Amber stopped the small movement of the dagger. She suddenly fell down. A pair of light-colored scorpions flashed with a vigilant look. She looked at Gao Wen and spoke out a white breath when she spoke: "You don't feel it... now this temperature A bit too low?"
Herti suddenly blinked, and the fatigue before her rush was suppressed. She lifted her wand and slammed it on the ground, and quickly recited a spell of a mouthful: detecting distortion.
This is a general-purpose magic. It can be learned from the second level of the official wizard. The magician has reached the corresponding spell model. The spell has no offense. Its function is to detect a certain range of hidden. Energy phenomena, such as hidden magic traps or invisible energy fields. In the case of a full cast, detecting the distortion can detect a level of energy that is one level higher than the caster level - and Hetty is a third level master.
From the professional level, Herti's third-level wizard (lower-level peak) is weaker than Byron, who has entered the middle stage (although it is only the primary stage), but from the perspective of magic convenience and versatility, her spells Can play a greater role than force.
As the effect of detecting distortions was launched, Gao Wen found that there was fog around.
No, it is not fog, but the spiritual energy that has been hidden before, and is already rich enough to affect the material world.
They gathered from all sides and continued to enrich and strengthen. At this moment, they were so thick that they could hardly see the trees dozens of meters away. In the tumultuous pale fog, there were still some faintly visible. The shadow of the dragonfly flashed past.
Betty’s eyes widened in horror, and she was about to scream, but she was stunned by Gao Wen’s mouth: “Hey, don’t make a noise, it will alarm the things in the fog.”
The little girl's eyes widened, and the tears almost flowed out. She grabbed the pan in her hand and tried to nod.
Gao Wen couldn't help but shook his head: I was not scared and cried when I saw the dragon. At this time, I was scared like this. It is really different from people's weaknesses.
"What are these?" Rebecca was a little scared. She clenched her staff. There were already some small Mars jumping at the tip of the staff. "When are we surrounded by these things?"
"There is a fog of grievances, hell," Herti bit her teeth. "How come this way?"
In the fog of resentment, Gao Wen has found the corresponding knowledge in memory. It is a product that can be produced naturally or artificially. Naturally, it is more common: in the place where the shadow energy gathers and the undead wanders, The fog of grievances has a very low probability. It is part of the shadow environment, but it is also affected by the undead atmosphere, which becomes extremely destructive. However, this fog is invisible after it appears - it will form and grow in the spiritual world, and in the material world, people can't even see a trace.
Unless the victim has stepped into the depths of the fog.
It will slowly kill the victim who accidentally entered it, and accomplish this process through the low temperature and the illusion and fear of invading the mind. If ordinary people mistakenly enter it, many times will not understand until they die. What happened because they couldn't see anything until they died.
Dense fog will not appear until the moment when their souls fall into the shadow world, and occupy all their dying memories.
Artificially creating a fog of grievances is also possible, but the conditions are too harsh, the requirements of the caster are extremely high, and the effect is not as good as most of the same level of spells, so those dark psychics will not waste time on this. .
Gao Wen has drawn out his pioneer's sword, but he has not carried out any attack: the fog of grievance is very special, although it will be hurt as long as it enters its scope, but in fact it will not actively attack at first, and those injuries are only It is an intrinsic property of the "negative environment", and it will only be violent when the "things" in the fog are disturbed.
The fog of resentment after the violent storm is very difficult to deal with.
Gao Wen did not allow the fog to be disturbed, so he did not order an attack, but cautiously searched for the weak points of the fog, ready to wait for an opportunity to break out, but just as he did, a gentle, ethereal laugh The sound suddenly came into his ear from a certain depth in the fog.
Mom and a chicken are actually being played by a group of fog!
Gao Wen immediately raised the sword and waved it in the direction of the sound. A dark red fire then detached from the blade, splitting a faint image that emerged from the fog into two.
"Set the fire in the fog and go and wear a white one!"
