Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 54 Hina Fey Melianne

Brian retracted his finger pointing at the hill, and with a thought, an invisible magical energy coiled around the blade of the sword stained with wolf blood.

Immediately afterwards, the blood on the blade was affected by the magic energy, and quickly condensed into a drop of water the size of a grain of rice, detached from the blade, and floated in mid-air.

As the blood-red water droplets splashed away under Brian's control, the blood-stained sword in his hand suddenly became sharper, shining silver in the moonlight.

This is a simple magic technique he has recently researched, and its principle is developed based on the special ability "Arcane Hand" attached to the Arcane Fire.

In fact, the function of "Arcane Hand" is not as simple as it is described on the surface. If you understand it thoroughly, you can understand the true value of this special ability.

As a former spell researcher, Brian naturally had the most in-depth research on it.

"Arcane Hand" itself can turn close-contact spells into long-range attacks, let alone this powerful ability.In fact, it has another hidden ability, which is an enhanced version of the "Mage's Hand" in the zero-ring trick.

The function of the simple zero-ring trick "Mage's Hand" is similar to the superpowers imagined by people in the real world.

It means that you can use your mind to control the object to float up and direct the target object to move in any direction. Simply put, it can be called "telecontrol".

As the "Mage's Hand" of the zero-ring trick, an apprentice wizard can control an object of 5 pounds (about 2.2 kilograms), and can make it move a distance of about 15 feet at will.

And Brian's "Arcane Hand", based on his current mental strength test, can control objects and creatures weighing up to 50 pounds, and move arbitrarily about 130 feet.

And Brian is also very clear that if his mental power is strong enough, this ability of mind control can even directly control the whizzing arrow and forcefully change its flight trajectory.

It's a pity that there is a way to improve mental power—that is, what players jokingly call: magic power.

Apart from regular daily meditation and the increase of intelligence attributes, as well as the improvement of arcane level and his own level, Brian has not found other ways to enhance it so far.

The battle with the warg was over, Brian put his long sword back into its sheath, looked at the female ranger Toviel who was still staring at the corpse of the warg on the hill, and shouted impatiently: "Why are you in a daze? Come down quickly! "

In this battle, a total of 17 wargs appeared, except for two that escaped, the remaining wargs were all dealt with by him alone.

In fact, he originally thought that the female ranger Toviel, who was hiding aside to support him, would help him shoot and kill the two fleeing wolves.

Who would have thought that this elf girl didn't do anything to help, and was quietly approached by a patrolling wolf, which was a shame.

If she hadn't acted in time, her pretty face might have been flowered by the ferocious Warg.

This made him deeply suspicious of Tovill's ranger strength, and he couldn't figure out how she survived until now.

Fortunately, these 15 wargs also provided him with experience points ranging from 10 to 50 points, which made him very satisfied, and he didn't bother to care so much about these side details.

Brian glanced at the system bar roughly, and calculated that he had gained a total of 380 experience points this time, which was much more cost-effective than killing goblins in the village in the Griffin Mountains.

This made Brian start to make secret calculations in his mind.

He planned to wait until the matter of the ancient evil was over, and then wander alone in the Blackman Forest where the evil creatures were densely populated, so as to improve his level quickly.

Seeing the female ranger Toviel put away her long bow and arrows, she walked towards her unnaturally, as if she wanted to thank her.

Brian didn't have time to pay attention to it, he left her aside, and focused on the messy elves' remains on the ground, as well as a group of wolves who had just died.

Among the fifteen wolves, except for the first one and the leader of the wolves who were beheaded by him with a sharp sword, all the others were shocked to death on the spot by the one-ring evocation spell "Thunder Wave".

As a group-living beast whose intelligence is comparable to that of human beings, wargs are relatively common in mountains, wilderness, forests and grasslands.

Moreover, a complete wolf skin of this kind of calf-sized warg can be sold for more than 5 silver coins as long as it is handled properly.

However, Brian was not in the mood to waste time here skinning wolves, because as the night darkened, there would be many nocturnal predators in this wild forest.

The air here is filled with a strong smell of blood. As the night wind spreads, it will soon attract the attention of a large number of gnolls, bear goblins, even ogres and trolls.

Therefore, he must find a safe and hidden place to stay as soon as possible.

"Let me come."

At this time, Brian suddenly noticed that the silent elf girl was looking for the remnant of her elf companion that was torn apart by the warg on the ground, and she took the initiative to speak.

After Brian finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer or not, he directly activated the telekinesis ability of "Arcane Hand", and moved all these scattered corpses to Torviel's body at an extremely fast speed. near.

The elf girl resisted the moisture brewing in her water-blue eyes, and immediately squatted on the ground, carefully putting together the remnants of the worgs for her dead companion.

Brian sighed softly, and the thick rotting leaves on the ground floated in the air, covering the dilapidated corpses. He looked away and asked her, "What do you plan to do with it?"

"Can their bodies be buried?" Tovel stood up and came to Brian to ask him for advice. Her unusually beautiful voice became hoarse due to the grief just now.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Brian frowned, he vaguely heard the rustling sound from the depths of the woods, and the dull growl of some kind of beast, and suggested to Toviel: "Burn them, let's Otherwise, it will only be ruined by the crows and wild beasts in the forest."

In fact, they have been ruined badly by the wargs, Brian thought, turning his head away, but he didn't say it.

"That... that's the only way to go." Toviel stood beside Brian, lowered his head, and bit his lips.

Brian held his breath and began to cast the spell. The moment his finger pointed at the corpse piled with rotting leaves, a scorching cone-shaped flame spewed out, instantly engulfing it.

As the rotting leaves piled up on the corpse burned away, in the bright firelight, a face torn apart by sharp teeth, blood red bones and empty eye sockets were once again deeply imprinted in Brian's mind.

This reminded him of the elf corpse in Thorn Castle - her face was covered with hair, blackened blood stuck to her face, her neck was twisted unnaturally, her face was frozen with a terrifying expression, and her upper lip was exposed. White and thin teeth.

At the same time, the corpse of the little boy found in the forest during the day appeared in Brian's mind. The empty eye socket left by the sharp arrow was forcibly pulled out, which disturbed him.

If it wasn't necessary, he actually didn't want to come to this wild forest that made him sad: Blackman.

"May Sina Fey Melianne forgive us for our mistakes." At this moment, Toviel suddenly knelt on the ground, folded his hands on his chest, and prayed devoutly to the firelight: "We have no other choice."

After speaking, Toviel bowed deeply towards the firelight.

Brian looked at the elf girl's actions and looked startled, as if he remembered something, so he immediately bowed slightly to the fire and said the same words as Torvel.

Sina Fey Melianne!
According to the records of the Holy Land Temple, it is the patron saint of the dryad and the last dryad in the entire Asno continent.

The main reason why the elves who were driven into Blackman by humans can survive in this wild forest is because of the help of tree spirits.

The promise of the elves also includes that they will never use fire in Blackman's forest.

Brian knew the patron saint of the dryad very well.

Rather than saying that he is a god, it is better to say that he is an indigenous false god that has been worshiped for too long, resulting in a trace of divinity.

It's a pity that with the corrupting power of the ancient evils on the continent of Asno, the dryads who symbolize the natural side were the first to suffer, until the last dryad completely disappeared in Blackman's godswood.

Brian went to the Holy Land of the Elf to deal with the ancient evils. In addition to the sealing circle he had prepared, there was actually another emergency method.

This method is to awaken the natural force left in this world by the guardian goddess of the dryads, Xinafi Melianne, and hold a forbidden ritual: the Dance of the Dryads.

Of course, he would never dare to use this method lightly unless it was absolutely necessary and he was desperate.
