Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 204 Spirit Crystal Servant
"no!"

The black-bearded orc of the blood skull mercenary group put his head close to the half-orc leader of the violent mercenary group, his face with yellow fangs was full of anger, and he roared: "The sincerity of the cooperation between the two parties is to offer Mu Reh that bastard's head."

"The living are more useful than the dead."

The orc captain fastened his breastplate, put on his heavy coat, then fastened the greaves and armguards, and finally took up his battle axe.

"If my plan succeeds, then we will have entered our own forces within the Duke of Longshougang, and when the Niluskan army launches an attack on Longshougang, we can unite all the defectors in the city. The mercenaries and the chamber of commerce will take it down in one fell swoop."

"Aren't you afraid of his betrayal?" The black-bearded orc distanced himself from the opponent, turned his head and snorted coldly.

"If you rebel, it will be in line with your wishes. Not only have I not lost anything, but I have also solved my internal hidden dangers." The head of the half-orc replied calmly:
"Besides, don't you really think that the Duke of Longshou Port is so stupid as to believe that a half-orc surrendered sincerely. In my opinion, if Murray is smart enough to run away now, there may be a chance of survival, otherwise , Whether you surrender or act as a chameleon, there is only one dead end."

"He can't escape. If he dares to escape, I will arrest them, disembowel them all, and let them know what happens to capricious mercenaries." The black-bearded orc sneered ferociously.

"So, the living are more useful than the dead." The head of the half-orc continued, "I heard that the envoys sent by the king of Niluskan to Longshou Port have recruited four large mercenary groups. It's the Tasha who give us twice as much, isn't it?"

"That's right, if your mercenary group wants to get the same reward, you must prove your worth in Abrera City." The Blackbeard Orc looked at him contemptuously, "Abrera City must not fall into the hands of the inhuman race in the hands."

"I understand."

The head of the half-orcs nodded and smiled confidently, "As you can see, the ranger troops of the elves can't even get close to the outer sentry posts I placed in the wilderness, let alone the heavily guarded walls of the city of Abrera."

Suddenly, in the shadows in the corner behind the two of them, dark energy tentacles broke through the ground without warning.

The moment after the appearance of the two black tentacles made entirely of shadow energy, they twisted and swayed like poisonous snakes, and nimbly and quickly wrapped themselves around the stunned two mercenary captains.

The first one to be entangled was the black-bearded orc. The moment he was touched by the black tentacles, the heart-wrenching touch made him stand stiffly on the spot.

The head of the half-orc was startled, he didn't care to check what happened, he picked up his battle axe, drew back, waved the battle ax in his hand, and drove away the nimble attack of the black tentacles.

The black-bearded orc who couldn't break free opened his mouth wide, revealing his sharp yellow fangs, and let out a breathtaking roar.

Immediately afterwards, his body began to swell and rise at a speed visible to the naked eye amidst crackling sounds.
This is the berserk ability of orcs and half-orcs, and only a very small number of talented people can comprehend this ability from their own blood.

After using it, you can greatly improve your own strength and physical attributes. Faced with the shackles of the shadow tentacles, activating your own berserk ability is naturally the most correct way to deal with it.

Just as the blackbearded orc was about to break free from the tentacles, the shadows in the tent twisted.

A sharp stab sank into the back of the blackbearded orc. The sword he had just touched slipped from his limp hand, and the bloody tip of the sword pierced from under the ribs, piercing the leather vest and armor.

Before the sword hits the ground, the person is dead.

As the black-bearded orc fell to the ground, a figure of Brian in a black cloak holding a sharp sword appeared from behind the orc's majestic and burly body.

Seeing his allies fall, the head of the half-orc was terrified. He stared at the ghostly figure of Brian with his blood-red pupils wide open in disbelief.

He really couldn't figure out how the other party entered his tent quietly.

After all, the tragedy in Greenwood Town was so vivid that the leader, who had always been cautious, asked the black-robed wizard in Abrera City for a magic device for warning from the moment he camped.

Thinking of the confident words just now, and looking at the completely dead black-bearded orc, he felt as if his face had been severely slapped.

Realizing the danger, the mercenary leader roared angrily, and used his loud voice to remind the guards outside to come to support him.

Then he turned around and swung the axe, and the heavy battle ax was in his hand, as light as nothing, forming a steel afterimage, forcing back two dark shadow energy tentacles, and rushing straight out of the tent.

Facing the enemy's attempt to escape, Brian remained unmoved, standing still like a bystander, waiting for the opportunity.

Just when the mercenary captain was about to break out, his vigorous figure jumped up, went straight forward, and suddenly approached, the sharp sword in his hand whistling through the air.

Accompanied by the sharp sword light flickering, streams of blood gushed out.

In the chilling screams of the mercenary captain, Brian's first sword cut off his right wrist holding the battle axe, and the second sword mercilessly smashed him from the shoulder to the sternum. Split open.

The mercenary leader threw away his weapon and died on the spot.

At the same time, the sound of countless sharp arrows whizzing through the air came from outside the camp.

An orc mercenary who rushed into the tent, who didn't know whether to support or escape, was about to open his mouth, when a half-foot, razor-sharp broad arrow burst out from his broad chest. The arrow turned bright red, bathed in scarlet in the blood.

The orc mercenary's bloodshot eyes widened, his body swayed in place, and he fell face down on the ground. With a cracking sound, the arrow was broken by his heavy body.

Brian glanced at the carnage outside the door. The mercenaries were all pale and frightened, and they were killed one after another by the sharp arrows.

In the night, the sound of trampling on the ground, the sound of sharp arrows whistling, and the sound of metal and iron clashing came one after another.

In just a moment, the mercenaries in the entire camp were wiped out by the sudden attack of the elf ranger.

After killing the two mercenary captains, Brian did not participate in the foregone conclusion of the battle. Instead, he waved towards the two shadow tentacles that were still twisting on the ground.

The tentacles made of shadow energy immediately dissipated in the air.

This is a three-ring spell of the summoning system of the wizarding school of conjuration. The highly condensed shadow energy has a paralyzing effect. Even races with good physique like orcs have difficulty exempting it. It is a very good control spell.

Since he activated the ability to release three-ring spells, in the game world, he has relied on the two schools of plasticity and conjuration that he has mastered, and then developed many magic tactics on his own, which have begun to take shape.

As a wizard, Brian has already used his rich combat experience to study the characteristics of the many spells he has mastered very thoroughly, and he also knows what kind of spells and what spells are combined together, which will burst out exciting The jaw-dropping effect.

After all, from a certain perspective, as a wizard, if conditions permit, they can master almost any spell in the spell table.

This does not include the spells that have been improved by themselves.

This also means that in the process of learning spells, one has to carefully choose the fighting style that one needs most or is most familiar with.

And he chose the evocation system as the main, and the conjuration system as the supplement, which is the most commonly used combination of schools among their player groups.

Use the high mobility of conjuration, summoned outsiders, and control to pin enemies down, then use the opportunity to cast your most damaging evocation spells.

Brian glanced at the two corpses on the ground, and waved his hand. The leader of the mercenary group was hiding in the room, and he put the treasure chest used to store property into his magic pocket.

He heard clearly the conversation between the two mercenary leaders gathered together, which let him know that the Niluskans had actually moved the battle line to their own territory, trying to open a gap southward from Longshou Port and achieve unification of the continent. ambition.

After hearing this shocking news, he naturally wouldn't sit still.

Now, he already has the ability to release three-ring spells, and many powerful spells have been mastered by him one by one as time goes by.

Now he almost belongs to the ceiling of Asno Continent's combat power, how could he worry that his territory will be breached by the Niluskans.

Moreover, he has been in touch with Longshougang from the beginning to the end.

At the same time, they are also making arrangements in secret. Once he returns to Longshou Port, he will definitely be able to unify them with an overwhelming advantage.

At this moment, the battle outside the house had also come to an end.

Hellist, a psionicist from the Whispering Moon family, emerged from the night and walked up to him with light steps.

"How is it?" Brian looked at the elf woman in a snow-white dress and flying silver hair in front of him, and saw that the light of heart in her bright eyes was shrinking, so he asked aloud.

Tonight's raid was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but a long-planned tactic.

Their purpose was to take advantage of the concealment of the night to annihilate the mercenaries stationed outside the city of Abrera.

Of course, they were not the only raid force this time.

Among them are the elves from the Dusk Forest, and the 'crazy hunter' Carlot who was invited by him, all participated in this battle.

As for the wood elves and dwarves led by Brian and Hellist, in addition to beheading the heads of the two major mercenary groups, they also had one more important task: to sneak into the city of Abrera and kill all the high-level personnel headed by the Butcher King. .

When the task was completed, they took this opportunity to open the city gate, let the elf troops enter the city, occupied Abrera, and rescued all the imprisoned non-human races.

In the past, Brian would never go into this muddy water, because he didn't have this kind of strength at all, and going there would be courting death.

But it's different now. In addition to mastering the three-ring spell, he also has a Psion teammate who he still can't see through.

The most important thing is that tonight, all the high-ranking nobles in the city of Abrera, including their king, have gathered together and are holding a lively banquet.

This is the real reason why they chose to do it tonight.

"I found it." Helliste, with a calm expression, replied in a soft voice. She glanced at Brian with clear eyes, raised her hand gracefully, and a crystal shining with light blue light floated to the two of them. near.

Brian looked at the azure crystal in mid-air. This crystal was only the size of a palm. The surface of the crystal was a prismatic cut. The dancing candlelight in the tent was reflected on the surface, like a perfect reflection of a flame, dancing endlessly.

This is a psicrystal servant, a kind of crystal servant made by psionists by stripping off a small fragment of their own personality.

Since the psicrystal servant is crafted from a fragment of its master's personality, a psion's crystal servant is, in a sense, a part of themselves.

Simply put, it can also be called the second personality.

Brian didn't know much about psions. He only knew that in the process of making psi crystal servants, the fragments of personality that were stripped off by psions were difficult to recover.

That is to say, if the Psion strips away his 'innocent and lovely' personality, then he is likely to lose this personality forever.

As for whether it is good or bad for psions, it is difficult to say clearly.

Because psions' psychic powers originated from their own long-term, strict self-examination and mental training to cultivate their own spiritual abilities.

Only by getting rid of distracting thoughts in their minds, overcoming their inner demons, and recognizing their true selves, can they master the method of awakening the hidden power in their bodies.

This also means that some of his own personalities such as cowardice, timidity, and shyness can easily affect the practice of psychic powers.

At this time, if these character flaws are stripped out during the process of making the psicrystal, then the psion himself will be infinitely close to perfection.

Because of this, Brian felt that the detached psion in front of him gave him a terrifying feeling of rationality.

It can be seen from this that in the process of making the Psionic Crystal Servant, Heliste also stripped out the personality flaws that she thought affected her spiritual practice.

This method seems perfect, but if the body cannot recover the flaws that have been stripped away, then the psion will most likely not be able to touch the legendary realm in his lifetime.

For 'know your body' is not only the motto of psions, but also their path to great power.

Therefore, peeling off the fragments of one's own personality and then finding them again is also a kind of spiritual practice of "finding oneself" for the psychic.

And, since psicrystal minions are an extension of the psion's personality fragment.

This makes them a very good auxiliary minion for psions in battle, or anywhere else that requires psionic powers, even better than a wizard's familiar.

You can even pass your own psychic powers to the psi crystal servants and let them release them on your behalf.

From the moment Brian met the psion, whenever he had the opportunity, he asked him for advice on psionics.

Because Helisite had promised him that when things were over, she would take herself to the small island where the Moon Murmur family lived in seclusion, and help him awaken the psionic talent hidden in the deepest part of the bloodline of the Asta elves.

After successfully inauguration as a psion, the two will go to the main material world together.

"Master, the teleportation location has been confirmed, and the portal can be opened at any time."

A crisp and pleasant sound came from the flashing blue light around the spirit crystal servant, which sounded like two crystals colliding and shattering softly.

In fact, psionic servants can also be classified as constructed creatures, a type of intelligent creature.

It's just that in addition to the personality fragments of the psion, its production materials also need a special material extracted from the astral world: astral crystals.

This is a special crystal that can only be extracted by psychic powers.

If a psion is proficient in the field of mind creation, they also have the ability to craft astral constructs, which are similar to wizard golems.

The reason why Helisite has mastered the ability to open the portal is mainly because she is proficient in the field of psionic energy: the teleportation system.

Brian learned from the conversation with the other party that the reason why she was able to successfully come to the main material world in her previous life was not the spaceship left by the elves, but the teleportation ability she had mastered.

Now, as long as they go to the wizard city, find the hidden wizard tower, and get the medium and coordinates to the main material world.

Helliste can use the "Astral Travel" ability she has mastered to come to the main material world through the passage of the astral world.

"Open the portal." Helist nodded slightly and gave the order to her servants.

".Confirming the teleportation location! The target location has been locked! Open the teleportation gate!"

The psi crystal servant with blue light flashing circled in mid-air, and an oval portal with azure blue radiance was opened, appearing in front of Brian.
