V6.Chapter 5

Golem battle.

This is a legendary event that broke out in the early days of the Holocaust, when an unknown team of adventurers went deep into the depths of a ruin near the Gobi. There are a large number of ancient ruins on the material plane, and there is no problem in exploring the ruins. But I don't know why the ruins are so well preserved. After the group of adventurers entered, the internal defense mechanism was triggered, causing a large number of golems buried in the ground to activate, attacking any nearby creatures for some reason.

Sauron doesn't remember much about the battle of the golems.

Because he had never personally participated in the battle of the golems, at that time he was only at the professional level and barely fought the gnolls. Only the top adventurers could join it, and it was only a relatively peripheral battle. Sauron remembered that more than 600 people seemed to have died at that time, and finally one of the diamond golems was piled to death. It was the most advanced creature killed by the adventurers in the early days of the Holy Cataclysm.

The battle of the golems broke out in the next area.

The exact location of Sauron is still not very clear, but he knows that it is the outer area of ​​the Arcane Empire, which means that this underground ruin was not formed by the fall of the floating city, but an ordinary city that was buried directly because of the disaster.

A legendary Juggernaut appeared in this battle.

Sauron vaguely remembered that this legendary sword saint did not seem to be a southerner, but a practitioner from an eastern country.

Juggernauts and monks have many similarities.

The number of spellcasters in the Eastern Kingdom is far less than that on the mainland, but there are not many other professionals at all. The number of advanced juggernauts, which are relatively rare on the mainland, will also increase significantly in the Eastern Kingdom. Even the sword saints who practiced in the southern region basically choose to travel to the eastern kingdom after reaching a certain level.

——“Advanced teleportation technique!”

Accompanied by an aura of magic, Sauron's figure appeared in the city called the Pearl of the Desert.

The advantage of spellcasters on the road is still much stronger than that of other professionals, not to mention that Sauron's spellcasting ability has been greatly improved now, and the professional level of wizards and arcanists is because a certain goddess has opened a back door for him. , although it doesn't grant additional abilities like the 'Teacher' advancement. However, it has been able to calculate the spell slot according to the total occupation level of 15.

simply put.

It is now that Sauron has an 8th-level spell slot on the basic professional ability.

but.

Naturally, his total spell slot was more than that. If it wasn't for his own abilities that were not enough to master legendary spells, the legendary spell slot on Sauron's body could also come in handy.

"Blessed by the Goddess of Magic: As a spellcaster, you are extremely lucky. The Goddess of Magic is at your mercy, and she opens a door for you within the Leyline, allowing you to more easily use the power of the Leyline. For You have far surpassed other spellcasters in the mastery of the magic net, and the secrets of the inner magic net are all open to you. All spell slots 1, automatically grant magic mastery, spell penetration, and arcane proficiency."

Sauron has a lot of special expertise.

These include the blessing of the goddess of doom and the blessing of the goddess of the sea. But both of these blessings are only very low levels of ability.

What the goddess of magic bestows is far beyond the scope of the blessings of these two gods. To some extent, Sauron has the abilities of some magic voters. All spell slots 1 are just one of the powerful abilities, magic mastery, spell penetration and arcane spells. The three additional feats of proficiency are the real strengths, which is equivalent to improving Sauron's spellcasting effect by more than 50% out of thin air.

Mana Mastery enhances the caster's ability to control spells.

Spell Penetration increases the lethality and effect of all spells of the caster.

Arcane proficiency directly increases the speed of spellcasting, as well as the mastery of any spell. Normally, arcane proficiency is a special feat that is very difficult to master.

………………

Unlike the last time he came here, Sauron easily found that the city in the desert had fallen into many ruins.

The terrible weather changes in the dead desert area have seriously affected the eastern trade route. Basically, there is no caravan traffic now, and naturally there is not much floating population. The street looked a little empty. More than 30% of the shops have been closed, and even the patrolling guards are a little listless.

Sauron did not stop here. After determining the direction, he rushed towards the location where the battle of the golems broke out.

Exactly what to do with the golem battle is the question.

One is to wait for the time to arrive and see the situation after the battle of the golems breaks out, and the other is to solve the problem before the battle of the golems breaks out.

One difficulty of the latter is that Sauron only knows the general direction but not the specific location.

There are many ancient ruins in the desert area.

The core territory of the Arcane Empire is this deserted desert. Although Sauron has a map given by the paladins, he still lacks enough information.

………………

"Grandmaster!"

"Is what we're looking for here?"

In the yellow sand that filled the sky, a group of people gradually approached the sand dunes in front of them. This is the area bordered by the barren Gobi. To the west is the land of the orcs, and to the south, you can go to the junction of the human and elves. Due to the influence of energy radiation, this land has not been suitable for plant growth for thousands of years, and only occasionally see some very tenacious vegetation.

"It should be around here."

The man walking in front of the line stopped. His clothes are obviously characteristic of the eastern kingdom, but he looks like the outline of the northern race on the outside.

Tall, burly, pale skin, large pores.

The members of this team seem to be from all over the world, although they are dressed close to the oriental race. However, several of them were from the North, and one or two looked like ronin from the East Coast.

The one who spoke was a veiled oriental woman dressed as a dancer. Although she was wearing a cape, she could still tell her occupation. Beside her is a very tall woman with delicate skin unique to the oriental race, black hair, long legs, a delicate face, a slender and tough body, wearing gloves on her palms, and her hair tied with a ribbon. , There are some more special gadgets on the leggings.

monk.

Or an advanced boxing master.

Because of the disparity in civilization, female warrior monks are rarely seen in the south, and it can even be said that there are almost no female monks, but there are still some such people in the eastern kingdom, although the number is still very rare.

The way of monks' practice is not very suitable for women.

"Just around here."

The man who led the team stopped and said slowly: "The thing that Dongfang Diji wants should be here. If it can be found, there may be a way to kill that ancient evil."

"Now that many seals are starting to loosen, the monastery can't waste too much energy on that damn thing."
