Chapter 120

"You stay here."

Roger disagreed, and said: "If we all leave and Zoltan is copying the runes in the temple, in case the dark wizard's accomplices come back, Zoltan is too dangerous alone, and I can feel relieved with you here. "

Ren nodded. In fact, he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

There may be many shadow blade killers on the upper level of the fortress, or followers of Roxi, so I should avoid appearing in front of them. He is not like Roger, who can escape from shadows, and his whereabouts are easily exposed. Once he is found to have a mark of dispute on his body, it may drag Roger down.

In order to absorb the soul, but put everyone in danger.

It's so selfish to do that.

Ren introspected in his heart, and was almost overwhelmed by the desire to absorb the soul, so he must be cautious in the future.

Roger didn't speak any more, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the temple.

Ren suddenly shouted: "Master Roger, wait a minute."

Roger turned around, thinking that Ren had something to say, but saw that Ren suddenly pulled out the shotgun on the outside of his thigh and shot towards a corner of the temple.

boom!

As the gunshots sounded, a translucent black shadow appeared in the originally empty corner. This person seemed a little caught off guard, and was hit by small steel balls, spattering a little bit of blood.

bang bang bang...

Ren fired several shots, and the figure was forced to have nowhere to retreat, desperately dodging the bullets, and the shadow escape immediately failed, revealing his real body.

This is a shadow warrior with his face covered.

He was wearing black leather armor and holding two daggers, but he was in a bit of a panic at the moment. There were small holes all over his body, and he was almost beaten into a sieve. However, the defensive power of this leather armor is quite good. Most of the power of the shotgun was blocked, and the injury was not serious.

Ren didn't waste any more bullets, turned around and charged to block the exit of the temple.

This shadow fighter doesn't need him to take action, and Roger will take care of it.

Roger's reaction was extremely fast, and when Rennes fired the first shot, he pulled out the steel sword. By the time Ren stopped, he had already rushed in front of the Shadow Warrior.

Enduring the pain of the gunshot wound on his body, the shadow warrior raised his dagger and faced Roger.

The daggers struck each other and cut through the air, and the arms cut at high speed, bringing up dozens of thin beams of light, each of which was like a sharp blade, forming a large cutting net.

This is the core attack element of Kagemushi-blade flurry.

Roger quickly made a seal with his left hand, and a layer of pale golden shield was stretched open. Dozens of sharp blades slashed on the shield without causing any waves, and it was intact.

The Shadow Warrior didn't even have time to react, the sword light flashed twice in front of his eyes.

Dangdang twice.

An irresistible force came from both hands, the dagger was blown away, and a steel sword was already lying across his neck.

If the shadow warrior was struck by lightning, he would not dare to move. It was only when the red hot blade burned his neck that his neck hurt so badly that he yelled in shock, "Your Excellency, please don't kill me!"

Roger's face was expressionless, his cat-like eyes stared at Shadow Warrior, full of indifference.

Ren was not surprised by this series of changes.

As early as when Shadow Warrior sneaked into the temple, he had noticed the trace of this person, and pretended not to notice, but in fact, the eyes of the soul could see clearly.

This is a sixth-level shadow warrior with impressive strength, but under the hands of the legendary demon hunter, he has no power to resist like ordinary people.

Most importantly, this Shadow Warrior is also a follower of Luo Xi.

A shadow blade killer.

Ren originally didn't want to get close to the shadow warrior and expose the mark of dispute on his body, but in order to remind Roger, he deliberately walked over and asked, "Are you Marish?"

"Yes." Shadow Warrior nodded quickly.

He still wanted to continue talking, and at this time Ren had already come close, he sensed the existence of the mark of dispute, looked at Ren and subconsciously shouted: "The blasphemer..."

"Hmph." Ren pretended to change his face, "So he's the lackey of the fraudster."

Roger reacted immediately.

This Shadow Warrior is a Luoxi believer, so the black wizard just now must be too. They must have a shady conspiracy when they entered the fortress.

Roger didn't have the patience to ask any more. He made a strange gesture with his left hand, and gently slid across the eyes of the Shadow Warrior, and shouted in a low voice: "Look at me."

Shadow warrior Marish was shocked, his eyes became dull, and he responded dullly: "Yes."

Ren glanced at Roger and thought to himself, this is a deception technique.

A demon hunter is a half-caster. When promoted to the middle level, from the fourth level to the sixth level, a total of six spells can be learned.

They are the "Quen Shield" to defend against physical attacks, the "Flame Flow" of the fire system, the "Ice Roar" of the ice system, the "gravity trap" of the three-ring arcane magic, the "confuse" of the mind system, and the resistance to magic. "Elemental Armor" for attacks.

Each spell has a unique effect.

These six spells come from four kinds of magic souls, among which the elements of Quen's shield belong to "Quen Furbolg"; From "Earthbound Snake", and the elemental armor is from "Helio Shimcat".

Compared with other mid-level demon souls, these four demon souls have fewer elements, only one or two.

However, the conflict between them is very low, and the witcher can choose any three of them to merge without having to think about the conflict.

The first demon soul fused determines the school of the demon hunter.

Roger is a demon hunter of the wolf school. It can be seen that his main soul in the middle level is the Argus two-headed wolf, so he usually uses the spell of ice roar most often.

Ren also saw that Roger had used a gravity trap, so he judged that what he gave up was the demon soul of the Helio Flash Cat, and he didn't know the elemental armor.

Demon hunters cast spells differently from other spellcasters. They cast spells through handprints, which is convenient and fast, but there are many restrictions and it is difficult to master.

Each spell has its own mudra name.

For example, enchantment, which is called the seal of Aixi by demon hunters.

At this moment, Roger released the Seal of Exxie. With his legendary strength, this is equivalent to the four rings' obfuscation technique. Marish was immediately hit and lost control of himself.

"Do you have anyone else in the fort?" Roger began to interrogate.

"Yes." Marish replied.

Ryan pressed: "How many more? Where are they?"

Marish's eyes were dazed for a few seconds, and then he replied: "I don't know how many people there are. This time I went to Longshande to carry out the mission. Lord Halken personally led the team and prepared for several years. At least thirty Individuals who participate in missions are all Shadow Blade elites."

"The dark wizard from 'Dark Sun' is also here, and Lord Tinos is the leader."

"Our people are all on the first floor of the fortress. Moore and I were sent below to explore the fortress. Moore is a man of the dark sun. He discovered the rune knowledge in the temple and accidentally activated the teleportation array, but he have been killed by you."

Marish said it outright, without any concealment.

Roger frowned.

At this moment, Zoltan ran out from behind the temple. He heard gunshots and thought something had happened. He just heard Marish's words and said in surprise, "Harken and Tinos?"

"You know them?" Ren asked back, as if the two men were very famous.

Zoltan nodded with a heavy expression, "Harken is the second figure of Shadow Blade, a legendary mid-level trickster with terrifying strength, the leader of all Shadow Blade killers in the empire, and he has committed many major crimes. He has killed an unknown number of wizards, and the empire's reward for him is as high as 500,000 gold!"

"Tinos may not be well-known in the empire, but in the subcontinent of 'Shabu Kantinai' south of the World Mountain Range, he controls a large area, the area is as large as two provinces of the empire, and he is the leader of 'Dark Sun' One, openly believes in fraudsters."

"It is said that Tinos himself is a legendary high-ranking dark wizard and has the hope of becoming a holy soul!"

When the dwarf said this, his eyes became a little scared.

The lava castle he was born in is located on the edge of the World Mountain Range and the Shabu subcontinent. The subcontinent was once the sphere of influence of the dwarves. Now the dwarves often deal with the races of the subcontinent, and they have deeply experienced the prestige of Tinos.

"What is the dark sun?"

It was the first time Ryan had heard of this organization.

Roger explained: "Dark Sun, like Shadow Blade, is an organization that believes in fraudsters, but most of them are composed of spellcasters, mainly black wizards. Their number is smaller than Shadow Blade, they are secretive, and their reputation is not obvious. But it is more trusted by the fraudsters, and is sometimes called the 'hand of the fraudsters', but the black wizard is too easy to reveal his identity, so he rarely operates in the empire."

Ren's scalp felt a little numb.

He had known for a long time that Luo Xi's followers had a big conspiracy against the Duke of Silver Star, but he did not expect that there would be such a big movement.

The legendary mid-level trickster takes the lead, and there is also a dark wizard who is close to the holy soul!

A wizard under the Holy Soul, that is, a legendary high-level, with a professional level between the sixteenth and nineteenth level, even in the empire, he is still a famous big shot.

What on earth had the Silver Star Duke done to offend the Trickster himself? Otherwise, why did Shadow Blade and Dark Sun, the two great evil god organizations, have been mobilized?

As a legend, Roger was not frightened, he seemed calmer, and asked:

"What is your mission to Longshande?"

"The Core of Iola." Marish replied immediately: "Someone issued a mission to Shadow Blade, asking us to take the Core of Iola from the Duke of Silver Star and prevent the Duke of Silver Star from building a floating city."

Both Roger and Zoltan were very surprised.

Zoltan couldn't help asking: "The Duke of Silver Star has created the core of Iola? Where did you get the news?"

"The mysterious person who issued the mission told us that there is indeed an Iola core in the wizard's tower." Marish replied.

"Moradin on top!"

Zoltan exclaimed, "It turns out that the Duke of Silver Star has reached this point. Is the empire going to raise an eighth floating city?"

Ren was also a little unbelievable, and suddenly realized in his heart.

The core of Iola is the most important part of building the floating city. As the power core of the floating city, it can even be said that without the core of Iola, there would be no floating city.

It was invented by the greatest holy soul wizard in history, Ogulevi, and it may also be the most valuable alchemical item in the world.

Building a floating city requires an astronomical amount of wealth, more than half of which is used to create a core of Iola, which is also the most difficult step in building a floating city.

With the core of Iola, it is not far to fly from the floating city!

Ren didn't know the plot of Shadow Blade before, and now he finally understands the ins and outs of the matter.

As expected, the core of Iola must be hidden in the wizard tower of the Duke of Silver Star. The Shadow Blade tried every means to lure the Duke of Silver Star out of the tower, not to kill the Duke, but to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

They have internal support in the college, and they can freely enter and exit the wizard tower. I am afraid that they have already figured out the situation in the tower, including the location of Iola's core.

When the Silver Star Duke leaves the tower and sneaks in, he can snatch the core of Iola.

Last time, Shadow Blade created the Fallen Man incident and opened the gate of the abyss, just to lure the Duke of Silver Star out of the wizard tower, but it was destroyed by itself.

I don't know what they can do this time?

In addition, Ren noticed a detail. The teleportation array entering the fortress was activated by the black wizard Moore in the temple. That is to say, Roxi's followers did not enter the fortress through the teleportation array, but had other channels.

He hurriedly asked, "Where did you enter the fort from?"

"We found a hidden entrance in the underground of Brent Street and dug down for more than a year to enter this dwarven stronghold." Marish replied.

Ren suddenly understood, "Sword of Oath?"

"Yes."

Marish replied in confusion, he was controlled by the spell of obfuscation and had no thoughts of his own, so he wouldn't be surprised why Ren knew about the Sword of Oath.

Instead, Roger and Zoltan looked over strangely.

Ren noticed the eyes of the two, scratched his head, and said: "I followed a Roxi believer last month and entered the shop called Sword of Oath, but I lost him, so I had doubts, but Didn't go in and check."

"You're lucky, luckily you didn't go in." Zoltan said with a smile: "Otherwise we wouldn't be able to see you."

Roger nodded slightly.

Ren looked lucky, as expected, he was not wrong to be cautious, if he rushed into the Sword of Oath rashly, he would not even know how he would die.

He continued to ask: "What do you want to do digging into the fortress?"

"The Duke of Silver Star hid the core of Iola on the thirteenth floor of the tower. Lord Harken's plan is to dig a passage from the dwarf fortress to the bottom of the wizard tower, sneak into the tower, and steal the core of Iola , if the plan goes well, blow up the upper layer and passages of the fortress, create an earthquake, and blow up the wizard tower together."

Marish's words were spoken calmly, but the three of Renn were shocked into a cold sweat.

If the Shadow Blade succeeds, the Duke of Silver Star will be seriously injured. Not only will he lose the priceless Core of Iola, but he will also lose the Wizard Tower.

Moreover, the Ironbeard Fortress is at the foot of the Silver Star District. If an earthquake occurs and it collapses, many people will die.

The entire Longshande will be hit hard.

Ren finally understood why all believers of the evil god shouted and beat them. This was more vicious than the terrorists in the previous life, and they didn't care about human life at all.

He wanted to ask some more details, but the effect of the obfuscation technique ended.

Marish's eyes gradually cleared.

The obfuscation technique cannot be used continuously. After being hit once, there will be resistance, at least you have to wait for a while before you can use it again.

"you……"

He retreated in a panic, the steel sword Wolf's Fang flashed past, and his head was chopped off.

Roger heated the blade with soul power, evaporated the blood on the sword, put the sword back into its sheath, and said, "We must tell the Duke of Silver Star about these things."

"Yes." Zoltan nodded heavily, and the two looked at Ren at the same time.

Ren understood what they meant, and contacted the Demon Squad directly through the voice transmitter. He shook his head. He didn't bother to hide some secrets at this time, and explained: "There is a shadow blade traitor in the Demon Squad. I used to secretly They reported it, but they got the news in advance and let them run away."

Roger's face darkened.

Zoltan asked anxiously: "Then what should we do?"

Ren was silent.

In fact, contacting the demon squad is also useful. Even if Shadowblade got the news and withdrew in advance, it would at least destroy the plan to snatch the core of Iola.

However, it is very likely that because of the failure of their plan, in order to retaliate, they would still blow up the fortress and passage before evacuating, causing huge casualties.

The most terrible thing is that Ren himself will be exposed because of this, and he will become the target of Shadow Blade.

And after the passage was blown up, the three of them couldn't get out either.

The three of Rennes are very clear about this.

A few minutes later, Roger was the first to break the silence: "I'll go up there, maybe I have a chance to sneak out."

Both Ren and Zoltan nodded, this is the best way at present.

If Roger can go out through the passage dug out by the shadow blade and find the Duke of Silver Star to explain clearly in person, then all problems will be solved easily.

"Roger, be careful." Zoltan patted the witcher's arm.

Ren also said softly: "Master Roger, if it's too dangerous, you can withdraw, we can think of other ways."

The corners of Roger's mouth rose a little, his expression as calm as ever.

"You should also pay attention to safety here."

Without stopping for a moment, he immediately left the temple, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

After Roger left, Zoltan immediately went back to the back of the temple to copy the runes, and then Renn was in the mood to check his mobile phone interface.

Marish's soul was absorbed by him, providing more than 40% of the power. Because the power was full, he devoted all of it to the "power" element. The strength was originally only less than ten blocks away from the progress bar, but after putting in the power, it just happened to reach level five!

Ren experienced the power of the fifth level, as if his whole body had endless energy.

"Level 5 strength, even without the Dragon Power Technique, it should be 14,000 pounds!"

This increase is higher than he expected. Obviously, after the strength is advanced to a rare element, it becomes more difficult to strengthen. Of course, the improvement between each level is also greater.

Ren realized for a moment, and quickly adapted to his existing strength.

He sat resting in the temple.

Half a day later, footsteps were heard in the distance.

Ren's expression changed, and he walked out of the temple, and a figure came out of the darkness, it was Roger who had left before.

It's just that his steps were a little staggering, his face was pale, his body was injured in many places, and he was bleeding profusely. There was only one steel sword left in his hand, but the other silver sword went to nowhere.

"Master Roger." Ren hurried up to meet him.
