unreliable adventure

Full of warmth and desire, we stayed in the comfortable elf outpost for two days. Some things happened in the outpost, and the relationship between teammates also became a bit weird.It won't work if you continue like this, you must hurry up and hit the road.The problem now is that Fierro hasn't come back yet, so I don't know what happened.I proposed to go out and find Fierro, and all three eagerly agreed.

After leaving the light curtain of the enchantment, it was another desolate landscape in the Northland.Francis knelt down and listened to the wind, shaking his head to show that nothing happened.I opened the channel of the communication element and rearranged the investigative circle, which will take a little time.Suddenly screaming and roaring rushed into my mind, my legs lost strength for a moment, and I was knocked down to the ground in a disgraceful manner.The element roared anxiously, the signal of the plague was everywhere, and the violent white noise shattered the magic circle after a few seconds.

Glinda said, Xiao Hei, what's wrong with your breaking magic circle.

I asked Francis if he was sure there were no undead around?

Francis looked me up and down, thought about it, and said no.

I reopened the magic circle after checking that it was correct, and the same heavy blow instantly shattered the magic circle.Fortunately, I was prepared and didn't hurt myself again this time.

Glinda said that it might be the dome of the elf enchantment that amplified the magic fluctuations, and suggested that I lower the threshold.But now that the noise is so strong, reducing the sensitivity is tantamount to being in the dark.It's better to leave the range of influence of the enchantment and try again.

After walking not far, I only heard the sound of wind in the back of my head. Wayne rushed towards me, jumped up and smashed down with his big shield.I didn't have time to cast a defensive spell, and when I heard the sound of bones breaking, I saw a skeleton holding a rusty sword rushing to my side, and was knocked to the ground by Wayne.The shattered bones writhed and tried to reassemble. Wayne grabbed its collarbone and snatched away the afterglow. The decayed bones finally fell apart completely.Wayne nodded to me, and rushed to the other side. Francis roared and swung his sword and knocked down several resurrected skeletons. Wayne cast spells one by one to ensure that they would not get up again.Looking at the back, Glinda has also quietly eliminated the remaining skeletons with the shadow killing technique.

Wayne said that it would not be difficult to deal with those resurrected skeletons, and Xiao Hei's previous method of capturing the light source was indeed effective.I said that brute force is just an emergency. If the manipulator behind the scenes is not found, there will be no way if there are too many.Wayne seemed very worried, and said that the person who resurrected the skeleton was probably a member of the Knights, and he must not be spared when he was found out.

I fought a cold war, the dead shouldn't feel the cold, enemy attack?I drew my sword and looked around warily.Francis and Glinda looked at each other, and Glinda shook her head.Wayne drew his sword, and slowly drew it back.I understand that I have become a liability.Glinda didn't say anything more about me, just gestured and moved on.

Theoretically, it has already left the influence radius of the elf enchantment, but the interference has not weakened at all.I'm starting to suspect that something is wrong with me.I rolled up my sleeves and passed the spellcasting records to Glinda. Glinda said that the nearby magic fluctuations were indeed abnormal, but she had no clue about my situation. My records were simply a storm field.

Wayne clung to me with his shield up, his overwrought behavior was annoying—well, I shouldn't say that about teammates.But he completely ignored the polite distance like this, and became a source of interference.Wait, I really want to have a clue. I asked Wayne for his spellcasting records. In Wayne and Glinda's records, the magic wave was just a weird buzzing sound, but it turned into a magnetic storm for me. .If it is an artificial interference source, it must be deliberately targeting my frequency, which makes sense.

I took out a bag of butterfly scales and drew a new map on the frozen soil by the side of the road.After confirming that there was no threat nearby, Wayne looked sideways at the graphic array on the ground: "Are you going to change the channel of the spell? Great, if I leave the usual tune, I won't be able to read a single Holy Light spell."

"No." I concentrate on drawing. If I just change the frequency simply, I don't need to bother to draw again.It is not an ordinary person who has the energy to completely block my spellcasting, and it is not difficult to track the attack according to my detection frequency.In order to completely avoid interference, I designed a fast frequency hopping algorithm, the power consumption will increase by three times, but it should be effective.I patted the ground, and the array turned into a halo of butterflies and scattered invisible.In fact, no special materials are needed to draw the array map. The advantage of using butterfly scales is that it can leave no traces, so as not to leave clues for cracking.

effective?Hmph, how could an archmage like me miss it.The subtle fluctuations of the magic circle slowly unfolded, and several large flakes of snow slowly fell on the sensitive treetops, and made an inaudible sound when they fell on the ground.All the wind and grass around it became clear with the touch of the elements, and occasionally there was a little sharp noise, which was within an acceptable range.

Wait, a pack of wolves has been following us?Wayne shook his head suspiciously.Francis and Glinda were exploring the way ahead, and I sent answering people to ask them. Francis said that there were voices from a few wolves, but it was not an imminent threat. Most of them just followed the plan from a distance. Pick up leaks.It's not surprising that there are a few wolves in the wild, and normally I'd agree with Francis, but right now, I'm more concerned that someone has manipulated the pack to stalk us.In the absence of the always resourceful Fierro, I had to quickly formulate a countermeasure.Glinda drew out the shadow tent and hid her and Wayne's aura under the shade of the tree. I took advantage of the remaining snow on the roadside and set up a simple frost trap, then I caught up with Francis and continued to walk forward swaggeringly.Before he had gone far, he heard the sharp howling of wolves behind him.I ran back to see that three plague wolves had been frozen in the trap, there were four in total, and there was a small one who refused to go away, baring its teeth timidly.The bare skin of the wolf was blistered, and the remaining hair was drooping wet. It was already very sick.I went up to finish them off, Wayne told me to stop.

I said that the wolf was deeply ill and couldn't be saved.Wayne said very politically that no matter what form of life has the right to exist, he also said that this is the spirit of the Holy Light.I backed away helplessly, raised my chin and let him solve it by himself.Then I was a little worried, and taught him to amplify the standard cleansing technique of the knight order by one energy level, shortening the casting time to a quarter, which can effectively inactivate the plague, prevent further spread, and should also be able to cause enough sting.After a brief flash, the plague wolf ran away with its tail between its legs.

Everything seems to be back on track at last.I noticed Fierro's trail, find him first, and then leave quickly!Francis said that escaping is not the answer. Since someone deliberately interfered, the priority should be to find out the threat and solve it.In fact, what Francis said is reasonable, but I am a little timid. Anyone who can block my spellcasting will have far more mana power than me. It may not necessarily be the combination of several archmages. In a real fight, I have no chance of winning.But I don't like making decisions, and I hate convincing others even more, and I'm speechless for a while.

Wayne said with an unprincipled expression that he supported Xiao Hei.Glinda thought about it, looked at me again, and said it was better not to cause trouble.I followed the traces of Fierro's magic crystal all the way, and nothing happened for the time being.Well, there is one small thing, Wayne seems to have made up his mind to man-to-man defense, which is really troublesome.I tried to communicate with him, thinking about my words: "Recharging, uh, the so-called holy light conferring ceremony has a side effect, which makes the participants mistakenly think that there is some emotional bond. This feeling is unreal."

"I've read in the manual that the emotional fluctuations caused by the Holy Light Conferring Ceremony usually subside within two days." When I first entered the epidemic area, I gave him a boost, and it has been almost a month now.

"It's usually."

“It’s okay to wait and see, what I feel right now is real.”

"The Tin Woodman—"

"I understand what you mean. A war is to be prevented right now, and all private matters give way."

"That was not what I meant."

"Hey, I didn't force you to promise anything now. When the task is over, there will be plenty of time."

"I want to say, can you not get so close, you distract me a bit."

"Ah!" The Tin Woodman jumped two steps away, biting his lip and giggling.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Francis, who was walking behind, suddenly said loudly: "Is Heige Road right? We seem to be going in circles."

I checked and Fierro's whereabouts, although twisted and turned, were always clearly recognizable.Except for one small problem-we are back under the light curtain of the elf enchantment, and we are back where we were!

While hesitating, Fierro suddenly rushed out and asked, "Where did you run around?" His face was covered with dust, but he didn't seem to be injured.I asked him what was going on, and he just said go back to the checkpoint.what happened?He grabbed my shoulders and said in a big mess: "I'm being targeted by the nerubians!"
