[Ring of the Council of Mages (Exquisite)]
[Defense ability: none]
[Equipment requirements: None]
[Intelligence +1, Spirit +1]
[The ring awarded by the Mage Council to the adventurers of the Free Continent to prove their contribution to the Mage Council and the free world. Exquisite silver threads outline a complex flower-like pattern on the surface of the ring. The four petals of the flower are said to be symbols of the four elements in magic. 】
This ring was a gift given to them by Christine before Duan Qing left Falling Star Mountain. Its excellent quality and lack of equipment requirements seemed to indicate that the symbolic significance of this piece of equipment was far greater than its actual effect, but Duan The ring Qingda received seemed different from the rings held by the other two people present at the time.
[Attached skills: Magic Illusion, use the water magic energy contained in the ring to create an illusion of an object, which lasts for three seconds and disappears after touching any object. Cooling time: 70 hours]
[Usage requirements: Intelligence 10, Spirit 10]
[This ring seems to have been blessed and blessed by the great magician, so it is filled with powerful water magic energy. The magic circle hidden on the ring also allows apprentices who have first glimpsed the mysteries of magic to release it. However, this energy dissipates after it is released, and it takes about three days to recover on its own. 】
"This is a small gift I gave you alone." The woman in blue robe at that time put the ring directly into his hand with a smile: "You can't fall behind that little girl Laura..."
If you don’t want to fall behind, just send more...
Shaking his head and putting away the ring with one of its petals dimmed, Duan Qing looked up at the sky - looking back now, these two pieces of equipment can be regarded as rewards for the first adventurer to reach the top of Falling Star Mountain. , it really helped Duan Qing a lot. In addition to the kitchen knife in his hand, the skill of the ring also made him very satisfied with the two performances. Because of his many years of gaming experience, the moment he saw this skill, he You will understand where this skill should be most used.
The actual effect also proves that illusions at the level of a great magician can deceive people of the level of an imperial general.
"phantom?"
Sunny stared at him for a while: "Is it...an illusion of magic?"
"Yes." Duan Qing said meaninglessly: "The special effects of a certain equipment."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing, Qingtian had no choice but to lower his head and touch his nose: "That's it...Brother Mo is really a powerful player, he has all kinds of wonderful things."
"Hey, I'm still lying on the ground, don't say such things..."
"Okay, okay, don't tell me...how is Brother Mo's injury?"
"Seriously injured and bleeding." Duan Qing said lightly: "I finally felt the treatment that Nan... one of my teammates received before. This feeling... it was really hard for him."
"The strength and agility attributes will be reduced." Qingtian sighed and responded: "Anyone who has played the battlefield dungeon has experienced such hardships."
"As long as I can move." Looking at the scene around him, Duan Qing laughed: "As long as the mission can be completed, it will be worthwhile for me to die."
"Yeah, this is not the time before the second generation of virtual games. There won't be much loss if you die."
"But...it seems like you didn't pick up your weapon?"
"Maybe it's because of the special effects of the weapon throwing skill, but it's okay. The captain and I use the standard weapons sold by the fortress. At worst, we can just buy another one. And..." Qingtian's voice paused: "According to the According to the rules of the alliance, if we die... we should come back."
"...Thank you to the alliance." Duan Qing sighed in a low voice, and then struggled to get up: "Let's go, let's go."
"Hey, brother Mo, why don't you take a rest for a while..."
"They won't let us rest."
As the words fell, everyone present felt the movement on the ground. On the other side, Colorful Spiritual Light and Thousand-Zhiked Crane got up after hearing the sound. At the same time, the boy in black who had been on guard also revealed his figure: "Someone is coming."
"It's the cavalry."
****************************
The Ferron Plain after crossing the Sea of Cao can be regarded as officially entering the territory of Ferron County. However, the nearest Carlo Town from here still has to be walked along the road for half a day to reach. For strategic reasons, some residential buildings and inns in the middle have also been destroyed in the sea of fire, some of which were caused by the principality - long before the empire's Snow Wolf Army reached the Fars Fortress, they were retreating steadily. The principality troops drove back all the residents in this area, and then entered a defensive posture early, trying to delay the enemy's attack in this way.
In the old saying of ancient times, this method of handling is called "Strengthening the Wall and Clearing the Wild", just because the first thing they face must be the Empire's Snow Wolf Army, and the light cavalry of the Snow Wolf Army is almost the most powerful cavalry on the Free Continent. Troops.
At this time, the Colorful Spirit Team was struggling to escape through the only ruins on the Felong Plain - what passed in front of them time and time again were dozens of groups of cavalry troops.
"If this is discovered, there will be no escape."
Muttering to himself, the colorful aura quietly poked his head out from behind a broken wall: "Why are there so many...Has the Snow Wolf Army been changed to all light cavalry?"
"Maybe it's the balance made by the system." Duan Qing, who was sitting next to him, replied in a low voice: "How can it be possible for us to have an easier time going deep into the enemy's hinterland..."
"But this is too much, like a monster that keeps refreshing." Colorful Lingguang retracted his head: "We have been stuck here for half an hour, and we have not taken a step forward... Sunny day, statistics How is it?"
"There are many, and there are patrols in all directions." Qingtian answered with his eyes closed quietly. Since he had thrown away his weapon before, he now held a whiteboard dagger in his hand: "They are very fast, basically ...a group of people in half a minute.”
"Damn it, isn't there no chance to move forward anymore?" Looking at the vague outline of the imperial military camp not far away, Qicai Lingguang said bitterly - the nearest yellow and white tents were far away from them The ruins were only a few hundred meters away, but they could no longer move forward because the open space between them was so empty that not even a tree could be found.
"I can only say that...the location of their camp was chosen well." Duan Qing said: "At least the road in front of Line F is inaccessible."
"The BOSS is so difficult, and the routes behind it are impassable. This F-line battlefield dungeon is going to go to heaven!"
"No, I suspect...the design here is not for fighting."
Seeing the eyes of several people turning at the same time, Duan Qing explained in a low voice: "You haven't encountered such treatment in other dungeons, right?"
"Well, when you say that, it seems like you have never encountered a cavalry..."
"Then let me guess again, are you..." Duan Qing smiled: "You have never done any missions at night?"
Colorful Lingguang's eyes condensed: "Could it be..."
"The design here is obviously not to attack by force, so... it must be sneaked through." Duan Qing said to himself: "Let's not talk about whether there are cavalry wandering around here at night, just their field of vision , it will drop quite a bit.”
Before others could consider the possibility, Duan Qing continued: "And now... looking back at the previous battle, if it happened at night... what would be the result?"
"I understand...I understand!"
Qicai Lingguang clapped his hands, and then withdrew his head and lowered his voice and said: "If there is another F-line mission in the future, we will come at night! Maybe even the two guarding BOSSs can be jumped... …”
"Huh? Is it really appropriate not to fight the BOSS? That's a lot of loot..."
"What do you know, little girl! Almost no one has completed the tasks on the F line of Fars Fortress. If we sweep down all those fifth-level keys..."
In the midst of the excited discussion, Duan Qing coughed slightly: "Well... what about our next mission?"
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
Qicai Lingguang concealed his gaffe, and then lowered his voice again: "Uh... there is nothing we can do now. Do we have to wait here until dark? Xiaomu has already gone anyway, and with the new pair of daggers, he should Being able to hide it from other people’s eyes…”
"Wait until he comes back and report the situation. Let's take a closer look at the terrain here..."
Colorful Spiritual Light, who had already begun to prepare for the future, stretched out his head again. Just as he was about to record the terrain and environment here with an adventurer's notebook, in front of him, on the other side of the broken wall, a skinny hand suddenly passed through The ruins, still emitting black smoke, stretched out in front of everyone's eyes.
"ah--!"
The screams sounded for a moment, and then stopped abruptly - Duan Qing behind him jumped up as if a spring was installed at the moment Qianzhihe screamed, then strangled her neck and pushed her down. On the ground: "The captain didn't even call me, what's your name?"
"Uh... uh... let go..." The girl struggled for a while, then broke away with a red face: "Pfft... I almost died... do you want to kill me?"
"Obviously you almost killed us, okay..." Duan Qing shook his head, and then looked in front of the broken wall - that hand had already grasped the edge there, and then used strength little by little, Let the body behind rise up: "Help...help..."
"Why is there someone?"
The four people present looked at each other, and then Qicai Lingguang and Qingtian used their strength at the same time to pull the guy here: "Who are you?"
"I am...escaped from Zaraha City..."
"Refugees." Duan Qing whispered from the side.
Since the war between the two countries began, the flow of refugees has gradually become a problem in various places in the losing principality. As the number of people fleeing gradually increased, the number of refugees appearing in various parts of the principality also began to gradually accumulate, even reaching an unbearable level. Duan Qing had seen such a crowd when he was in Fenghua Town, not to mention Tania, the capital of the principality - most of the people who had escaped from the battlefield had taken refuge there.
Judging from Duan Qing's experience there and what he saw along the way, this situation has not stopped yet.
"People from the empire launched a purge in Zaraha..."
This man looked very weak, and he didn’t know what he had gone through to get here. However, in the face of other people’s inquiries, this guy, who was charred and covered in dust and looked like just an innocent civilian, still looked like an innocent civilian. He spat out his answer bit by bit: "Many... people who were hiding... are dead..."
"Cleaning? Cleaning for what?" Qicai Lingguang asked in a low voice.
"Traitor...traitor..."
"Traitor?" Qingtian asked in shock: "You actually organized a rebellion yourself? Who led it? How many participants were there?"
"No……"
The man sipped the water that the red-haired girl put to his mouth again, and then gasped for a while: "No..."
"We... don't know anything. It's those imperial people... who suddenly appeared... saying that we... the civilians left behind... are suspected of rebellion..."
"Many people... don't admit it." His face twisted: "Then... and then..."
It was like something was stuck in his throat. The man choked for a long time and didn't say another word. He just sobbed with a painful expression. Qicai Lingguang looked at the others for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "What should I do?"
"Take him back?"
"How is that possible? We don't even know how to go back..."
"The news must be brought back. From this person's description, it seems that this matter is very big." Qicai Lingguang whispered: "It is best to inform General Dusk, maybe there will be follow-up..."
"Take the news back...you mean to say that you won't bring this person with you?"
"No!"
Before Colorful Spiritual Light could express anything, Qianzhihe shouted in a low voice: "You can't just ignore death! Everyone is like this..."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
In the gloomy face of Qicai Lingguang, Qingtian on the side also whispered: "The adventurer's words are only one-sided. I'm afraid the general... won't listen easily, right?"
"Of course I know this kind of thing!"
Looking at the refugee in ragged clothes and struggling to survive, Qicai Lingguang clenched his fist: "But..."
"Even if we all pay compensation, we may not be able to send this person back alive! We have other tasks, and I don't want to make any mistakes at this time..."
"catch him!"
The worried expressions of several people were frozen on their faces at the same time.
In front of them, at the edge of several tents, a black figure rushed out of the commotion at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and then ran quickly towards their hiding place. As if the afterimage dragging the black stream of light had not dispersed in place, more black shadows began to appear in that place, swallowing it up in an instant.
"It's the spies of the principality! They stole the test subject!"
Loud shouts came from farther away, and even the people hiding in Duan Qing's place could clearly hear the roar like a bell. As the shout spread, the entire Ferron Plain seemed to be awakened by the movement caused by the military camp. In all corners of the plain, insipid vibrations began to appear continuously, and then with the sound of the The flow of light gradually converged in front of the small ruins.
"Now..." Duan Qing covered his face and laughed bitterly: "The basket is too big." (To be continued.)
