Chapter 044 Return of the Survivors

"Tick tock~~"

"Tick tock~~"

Two drops of pus fell on the back of Gawain's hand, corroding two blood pits.

Gawain, however, remained motionless and watched silently.

It wasn't until his eyes stung and he felt a little dizzy that he gently closed his eyes. During this period, his expression didn't even change at all, because after sensing the danger, his [Mechanical Mind] had automatically turned on.

Use the slightest movement to avoid being noticed.

He knew how terrifying the monster above was, and even recognized the other party's identity. He was the official wizard octopus monster guarding the library in the Bronze Mountain.

Unfortunately, it has now been forcibly transformed into a deformed monster.

Became a member of the gray fog.

After a while, Gawain opened his eyes and found that the monster in the sky had disappeared. Then he took a deep breath and quickly bandaged the two wounds on the back of his hands.

"Fortunately, there should be no big problem."

After it was taken care of, Gawain felt relieved and a little lucky. If those two drops of pus had dripped on his face, he would have been disfigured at such a young age, but luckily that didn't happen.

Gawain hesitated, and finally chose to continue going.

Passing through the foggy area and the silent death swamp, I finally saw a half-collapsed bronze mountain. He looked around and saw no living person, not even a corpse, only scars and bloodstains left after the fierce battle.

Gawain stood there for a long time and muttered:

"The Bronze Oath... is over!"

Then he released the three crows and urged the skeleton beast to run towards the Mountain of Bronze. He soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, followed the crumbling mountain road, and cautiously arrived halfway up the mountain. He saw that the entrance into the mountain had collapsed and was covered by several pieces. Blocked by boulders.

The two golems guarding the door were also shattered into stones.

Gawain was disappointed and unwilling. He urged the skeleton beast to step forward and used the [Five Ice Arrow Technique]. With a wave of his hand, five ice arrows pierced the smallest boulder.

But it only penetrated two inches into the stone.

"It's not easy."

Gawain was a little worried, and realized that the stones here were not ordinary boulders, but were strengthened by witchcraft, and were even stronger than steel.

So much so that even his ice arrow, which is close to 5 degrees, is helpless. You must know that even the witchcraft intensity performed by ordinary high-level wizard apprentices is only 3 degrees.

It can be seen that even if a formal wizard is here, it will take a lot of effort.

Gawain frowned, his thoughts were spinning, and he suddenly thought of a trick called [Fossils to Mud]. This trick came from a rat man, who happened to be the nemesis of stone.

If he could perform this trick, he would be 90% sure that he would be able to open a passage into the heart of the mountain.

The only regret is that he no longer has any extra magic slots. If he wants to learn, he must clear another magic trick.

"Summon the crow."

"Illumination."

"Hand of the Mage."

"Magic cover."

Gawain thought about it, but still couldn't make up his mind. To him, each of these four tricks was very important. [Summoning Crows] maintained his connection with the three red-eyed crows, and there was no room for failure.

[Lighting Technique] is the key to his ability to move freely in the underground world.

Can't give up.

[Magic Concealment] has just been learned. It will only become more important as time goes by. It is also difficult to give up. The only thing that is not so important seems to be [Mage's Hand]. If this is true, this will not only make him lose an excellent opponent. The method is equivalent to losing half an assistant.

Gawain hesitated for a moment.

"Quack~~"

At this moment, crow Xiao Shiyi flew over from the north of the mountain, landed on the beast's head, and started making gestures with its wings.

Gawain was thoughtful and ordered:

"Lead the way."

Gawain followed Xiao Eleven around the back mountain. After walking for a while, he happened to see a vague figure sitting cross-legged on a large stone, seemingly meditating.

He carefully let the skeleton beast take a few steps closer, and found that the figure on the back was somewhat familiar.

Gawain raised his eyebrows and tried to call out:

"Rhett?"

The man turned around as if frightened, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gawain. He couldn't think of Gawain's name for a while, so he hesitated and said: "I know you, what is your name...?"

"Gawain!"

"Yes, yes!"

Rhett Lyles slapped his head, his face suddenly turned happy and suddenly collapsed, he said sadly: "I still remember that I was your guide. It's only been a few months. I didn't expect that our Bronze Oath To be like this now is really...unpredictable. Fortunately, you survived. "

He looked at the skeleton beast for a few times and sighed: "I remember that the one who followed you was another undead, right?"

"right!"

Gawain nodded. He had a good impression of Rhett, but he didn't have much contact with him, and he didn't dare to be careless. He turned to look down the mountain, but his sight was blocked by gray fog, and asked:

"Is there anyone else alive besides you and me?"

"Yes, I have met seven or eight wizard apprentices in the past two days, but I am not familiar with them. One of them is crazy and the situation is not good. They are still a little wary of each other, so they have not had much contact. In the past two days, There should be a few left one after another.”

"Have you ever met an official wizard?"

"No."

Rhett shook his head and looked very depressed: "There was a lot of noise in the battle at that time. I managed to survive by hiding in the crevices of the rocks. Later, I was almost buried by the rocks. When I came out, I was already like this."

Gawain pointed to the top of the mountain.

Rhett immediately understood: "The trading area was smashed. The few people who came out first looted all the usable things. Now there is nothing left on the top of the mountain."

Gawain gave up the idea of ​​mountain climbing and continued to ask:

"What's the plan?"

Rhett fell silent and lowered his head.

Gawain pointed to the mountainside: "The Bronze Oath has been completely destroyed. As survivors, we should inherit the organization's inheritance and legacy. I think we should try to see if we can enter the mountainside."

"It's useless. Someone has tried it before. The stone blocking the entrance is a boulder reinforced with witchcraft. With the strength of our wizard apprentices, we cannot move it or break it."

"That's not necessarily the case. I have a way to open it, but it requires some manpower."

Rhett suddenly raised his head, his face full of surprise:

"really?"

"nature."

"Okay, I'll contact the person."

Rhett ran down the mountain in a hurry.

Gawain rode the skeleton beast back to the entrance. He actually wanted to take away the inheritance secretly, but after learning that there were other wizard apprentices alive, he understood that as long as he made any move, he would soon attract others. Come.

It is basically impossible not to alarm others.

In this case, it is better to simply call all the survivors and put them all on the table.

Come and share the risk.

Second, to avoid sneak attacks.

Third, you no longer have to free up witchcraft slots, and can let others learn [Fossils to Mud] on your behalf.

It is based on these considerations that Gawain made this plan.

However, he also had to keep some backup plans. He first recalled the three crows, gave them instructions, and scattered them around the Bronze Mountain, then waited silently.

Not long after, Rhett led someone back.

The man was wearing red clothes, with a slender body, handsome appearance, and a smile on his lips. He looked like a young nobleman in his early twenties, but his face was a little pale.

Rhett introduced aloud: "This is the vampire Sony, and the other is the orc Cavill. He knows where the others live. He has called for people and will be here soon. He is the human Gawain, who has entered the mountain. way."

The two just nodded to each other and considered themselves acquainted.

soon.

Four more people arrived one after another, namely the wild boar Cavell, the dwarf Tok, and the trolls Susan and Miller, two brothers and sisters. These two were more than three meters tall, with stone-gray skin and very scary looks.

It is said that they are also distant relatives of the vice-president Korot, and are internal members of the Bronze Oath. They escaped because they were temporarily away on business.

Gawain didn't learn [Magic Sense], so he didn't know the specific levels of these people. He just instinctively felt that the dwarf Tok was a bit weak, and the others were not inferior to him.

Of course, if they really want to fight, it depends on their respective methods.
