The Rise of the Cemetery

Since he was found by the "black light" wizard in the underground world three days ago, the entire right to speak has been firmly held by the other party.

The treacherous way of appearance was the biggest impression left by the "black light" wizard on Farina. To this day, she still hasn't seen the other party's true face, because every time the other party appears, it is attached to a group of cold and cold black flames. This is probably the origin of his title!

It is of course a good thing that the heretics among the indigenous people can come to the door to cooperate. But an ally who is too mysterious does not meet Farina's pursuit. From the few exchanges on the surface, the other party seems to be open and honest, bluntly saying that they want to form a permanent alliance with the so-called "cemetery family" and exchange the knowledge and resources they need.

This was originally the main purpose of Farina's team coming here. If things can be achieved so easily, of course everything will be fine. But the powerful banshee who has always believed that "everything is up to me" always feels that things are not that simple. The purpose of this black light wizard is by no means so simple, so she is still pretending.

In the first few contacts between the two sides, some simple agreements on exchanging knowledge and intelligence were reached. The specific alliance needs to wait until the situation stabilizes. At this time, both sides need each other, but also wait and see each other.

What Farina wanted to see was the sincerity and heart of the dark wizards, and the dark wizards headed by Black Light also wanted to see the quality of these invaders. An alien force that can't even survive by itself doesn't even have the qualifications to bet.

So after a simple contact, Farina was sent out of the country with a polite gift!

Regarding the news about Younv and Karthus, Farina had obtained basic information through the dark wizard's intelligence system, so at this moment, she accepted the other party's hospitality with peace of mind, and took the opportunity to find out the precious resources of the wizarding world. Of course, in addition to the high-end materials required by spellcasters, those ordinary materials that occupy the bulk of folk trade are also part of what she needs to know in advance.

When the cemetery gains a firm foothold here in the future, large cross-plane transactions will start sooner or later, so it is always good to find out first. As for the massive expansion of the cemetery, taking this plane into his hands completely and turning it into his own private plane, this kind of idea is wonderful, but the time and energy required is huge. Moreover, this kind of aggressive garrison can only be exchanged for continuous riots and attacks, which will greatly involve the forces of the Cemetery Clan.

In contrast, the business group stationed mode can complete the task of resource collection in the shortest time and with the smallest force. However, before revealing the peace of the cemetery, it is also a necessary process to properly display one's own force to deter those egomaniacs who want to get something for nothing. Without clearing out those stubborn old-fashioned, the cemetery's chances of taking root here are almost utopian.

What's more, there is a god standing behind the opponent.

The natives of the wizarding world may change their attitude and cooperate with the cemetery under the temptation of great benefits, but their gods are almost impossible. As the only god in the wizarding world, this world belongs to the only one, and now there are outsiders who want to get a share of the only one's world, the difficulty is even more conceivable.

But there are no absolutes in the world!

People can be bought, but can't gods?

As long as you do what you like, there is no intelligent creature in the world that will be stubborn to death!

So you might as well fight now, and wait until both parties are tired, maybe the cemetery still needs to drink tea and talk with the biggest boss in the wizarding world!

So, after Farina sent a message in a way unique to the cemetery, she temporarily stayed in Macoron City, quietly waiting for the two companions to come to meet.

...

The Klein Continent, the southwestern province of the Kingdom of Breland, the Feralas Mountains.

As winter approached, thick snow had fallen on the mountain, making it extremely difficult to walk through. But in this season, the large beasts will appropriately reduce their range of activities and hide in their lairs with a full body of fat. Therefore, it has become the busiest hunting season in the Feralas Mountains.

With the continuous sound of "creaking and creaking", a small mercenary team trekked hard in the mountains and forests on the thick snow.

It was near noon one day, and clusters of icicles hung on the treetops. Under the warm winter sun, they were crystal clear and sparkling. Looking around, the entire jungle is a beautiful fairy tale world made of ice and snow.

However, such beautiful scenery will not help the improvement of the mercenary journey.

With difficulty, he pulled out his frozen, almost numb legs from the knee-deep snow nest. Jack no longer had the heart to appreciate the surrounding scenery, and moved forward step by step while thinking slightly. Fortunately, the openings of the boots had been tightly tied with cloth strips, otherwise, they would have to stop and clean the boots after walking for a while.

As a kind of preferential treatment, Master Jack was placed in the middle of the mercenary team, and there was a tall, burly man in front of him to protect him from the wind and snow. This kind of treatment cannot even be enjoyed by those female rangers with long bows, waists, hips and daggers.

The entire mercenary team consists of 16 people, 2 thieves, 1 ranger, 4 shield warriors, 3 rangers, 2 swordsmen, 3 spearmen and 1 mage. Such a team is already considered a top team in the Feralas Mountains, and it is even more surprising that there is a mage in the team.

Although the Feralas Mountains also belong to the Mage Kingdom, and most of the mages in the kingdom have the tradition of going out to practice, but most of their choices are large hunting places such as Red Ridge Mountain, Swamp of Sorrows, and Velga Ogre Hill. And those who join are also some large mercenary groups with more than 200 people at every turn.

When the Arcane Tower in Oneiros City was opened to the public, there were still many mage apprentices in the Feralas mountain area occasionally mixed with the mercenary team, hoping to obtain some cheap magic materials. Like a group of low-level mercenaries, there are only a few official mages who drill ravines, climb high cliffs, and sleep in the wilderness.

After all, as long as you become an official mage, it is very easy to make a living. Just throwing a fire arrow or an acid arrow in front of a small nobleman in the countryside can scare the other party into astonishment, and they will willingly regard you as a mage advisor. From then on, living in a high tower, sleeping on a soft couch, being entertained with good wine and food, and even having a special carriage to travel in and out, how can I go to the cold and windy winter mountain forest to suffer!

But today, such an extremely abnormal level 2 mage just appeared.

It is a great honor that Jack was successfully promoted to a level 2 mage 5 days ago.

Although the level of spellcasting has not been greatly improved, and he can still only cast 1st-level spells, his "explosive" mental power allows him to easily control most 1st-level spells. You know, when he was only a level 1 mage, there were only nine level 1 spells he could master and successfully cast. But now, as long as it is a first-level spell without strict class restrictions and prior knowledge, he can already complete the series of complex and cumbersome spell-casting processes within five fingers.

So, after the dearest mentor Li Xun gave him some heart-warming care and care, he left him to this hired mercenary team, and his task target was the unique monster in the Feralas mountain area. Warcraft - ice troll. Of course, Li Xun just made a small suggestion before departure that if he has spare time on the road, he might as well bring back some "Winter Needle Grass".

And Jack also had the opportunity to find out the information about winter needles in the general book of plants after he parted ways with his mentor.

Winter needle grass, a potion material, can be used to refine magic potions such as icy breath, icy touch, etc. It usually grows in cold areas covered by ice and snow, and parasitizes the bodies of dead creatures. (Note: This object is usually found in the lairs of ice monsters in some perennially cold regions.)

"Uh, alright! It seems that the ice troll's lair must be broken into." Jack grinned silently, feeling speechless at the mentor's wickedness.

This trip is both a mission and an experience.

Therefore, before setting off, the instructor had already explained that cheating tools such as Hellfire must not be used until the critical moment of life and death, so the only thing that can help him on this trip is the reliable magic equipment on his body and the experienced " Lynx" mercenary team.

You know, the ice troll is a powerful ice monster, and its sturdy body strength alone is enough to compete with the mercenary team in front of it, not to mention the first- and second-order ice trolls who are gifted and instinctive. Department of spells. Such a combination of powerful fighters and half-baked ice magic is not a well-prepared team, and there is no advantage in them.

For this kind of monster with a challenge level of level 9, with the average strength of the Bobcat mercenary team at level 6 alone, without any additional support, I am afraid that if they go there, they will just deliver food to the opponent.

However, after analyzing the strength of the enemy and the enemy, Jack found that it was not completely unfeasible.

At least ice trolls can only be regarded as semi-social creatures, and they often live together in a family unit. The number is roughly within 10, basically 1 male ice troll plus 2-3 females and a group of cubs.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Otherwise, if such a powerful guy lives together in a village or clan, I'm afraid Jack will have to go back home as soon as possible.

Ice trolls usually only live in the extremely cold region deep in the Feralas mountain range, and rarely go to the outskirts of the mountain range. However, every winter when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, they will appropriately expand their hunting range.

After fully understanding the living habits of the ice trolls, Jack and the ranger named Old John who accompanied the team carefully inquired about the fighting habits of the ice trolls. Taking advantage of the opportunity of camping at night, he made a few "Endure Elemental Damage" magic scroll.

Although the mercenary team had prepared such magic scrolls before departure, if they really wanted to deal with ice trolls, of course, the more the better. Especially for the few mercenary members of the close combat department, if they left the freezing resistance blessed by the scrolls, it would be difficult for them to withstand the powerful assault of the ice troll.

The team spent 8 days on the road, and only then did they initially approach the ice troll's range of activities.
