Brian and Karadna walked through a dark and twisted forest and rested in a cave that looked like a skull.
After the protective barrier was laid out, the darkness and depressing atmosphere in this not-so-spacious cave gradually became contrasted by soft light like daytime.
Brian's tense nerve finally relaxed. He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on Karadna.
The sorcerer was as happy as a girl who had picked many beautiful flowers. She used her skirt to cover the scales of the ghost Naga. She didn't care about the exposed white legs, and she poured them all on the ground and focused on picking them.
Thinking of the unfinished task, Brian couldn't be happy at all.
Since he killed a group of skeleton knights, the two of them have fled for about 5 hours in this depressed atmosphere, and finally got rid of the pursuers of the Thirteen Towns of the Shadow.
The price of throwing these undead knights away was that they were getting farther and farther away from their destination, and even made Brian vaguely feel that he was about to lose his way.
However, what made him a little relieved was that before he escaped, he set up space markers in the river where he encountered the dragon turtle in advance.
Now, he has sent many shadow partners through monster summoning techniques to assist him in finding a monastery in Shar Church.
While waiting, Karadna expressed in a slightly complaining tone that after so long the enemy had been thrown away, why can't we find a place to rest first?
After hearing this, Brian's stomach and physical fatigue seemed to be cooperating with her to respond.
So, they came here.
At first, the sorcerer said very seriously that he would take him to his mansion in a different dimension. For this request, Brian naturally refused it directly.
After all, their current location is a shadow plane. If they are discovered by some powerful beings hiding in the dark while heading to the alien dimension space, they will set up traps in advance at the place where they disappeared, and wait for the rabbit, and they will be directly taken over.
This kind of danger, once a spellcaster, has not only experienced it deeply, but also implemented character exchanges many times and has cheated countless players.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has sent many shadow creatures to help him find the lost monastery of Shar Church, so he naturally cannot hide in the alien space and wait for news.
"What did you do to collect so many ghost Naga's scales?" Brian thought, and one of the scales carefully selected by Karadna fell into his palm.
Ghost Naga's flash scales
Type: Material
Quality: Blue·Extraordinary
Description: The essence scales dropped by the ghost Naga who lives in the shadow plane, accompanied by their powerful magical powers during their lifetime. Alchemists and miraculous figures are very interested in this material.
…………
This pile of ghost Naga's scales were obtained after they were massacred by Brian during their escape.
If Karadna hadn't insisted on collecting these scales, the process of the two of them might have been smoother.
"Of course it's making magical equipment." Karadna looked immersed in the pleasure of selecting scales. She carefully sorted the scales and said to Brian without raising her head:
"You are not planning to ask me to help you develop new magic products. My lady naturally takes this matter to heart. Since the materials used for fire-attribute handguards are all salamander scales from the fire element plane, the fire element energy of the handguards made is difficult to control, and the failure rate remains high. So I have been thinking about how to find a magic material that can not only neutralize the violent fire element energy, but also keep the equipment enchantment in a delicate balance."
She put away all the selected scales, ignored the remaining piles of defective products on the ground, looked up at Brian, and smiled confidently: "There is no doubt that the scales of Naga, the ghost who is born and raised in the shadow plane, are the best choice for the salamander scales that neutralize the fire element plane."
"It sounds very professional." Brian nodded thoughtfully. Although he had some knowledge of making magic equipment, he obviously did not belong to the master level. He naturally retained his own opinions.
He threw the scales to Karadna casually, leaning on the cold rock wall of the cave. Under the soft magical glory, the sorcerer's long legs that were undoubtedly revealed from the high-opening skirt were like a layer of milky white halo, and the sparkling crystal luster, which produced the fatal temptation that made him unable to move his eyes for a moment.
It has to be said that this pair of beautiful curvaceous legs is definitely a weapon to please men, and it is also the most seductive long legs Brian has ever seen so far.
From plump thighs to tight calves, it is really fatter or thinner. Whether it is muscle lines or soft fat content, everything is just right, so that it makes him feel the endless layers of tender and soft feel.
Realizing his incompetence, he came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I'm even more curious about what you said. Why do professionals like you who have native magical warlock bloodlines choose boring side jobs like alchemy, and how did you persist?"
As if she noticed Brian's gaze, Karadna rolled his eyes and moved her body deliberately provocatively so that he could see more clearly. She had a surprised smile on her face:
"It is because it is boring that I have to learn. This is what the old bastard Sandracott told me since he was a child. As it turns out, this method is indeed good. The reason why my strength can advance to the legendary field is because I face magic materials and runes day after day, which makes me gradually forget the pleasure of using fireballs to kill goblins, and I unknowingly broke through."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "That's true." Brian was a little embarrassed by the brave and proactive behavior of the sorcerer, so he calmly looked away and asked curiously, "So, you have raised that rat demon pet since you were young and have been with you until now."
He had long known that Karadna's magic pet was a little hamster. Under the influence of his master, this magic pet not only learned to speak the common language in mainland China, but also mastered a lot of alchemy knowledge, and often assisted her in completing various difficult equipment production together.
When Karadna accompanied him to Guangze, her magic pet stayed in Mokou Town to guide the group of spellcasters in alchemy.
"Yes, that little hamster pet was raised by me since I was a child."
Speaking of the magic pet, a rare warm smile appeared on the corner of Karadna's mouth. Then she took out a pile of hungry food from the dimensional bag and asked: "Aren't you also a spellcaster? Why do I only heard that you have a spiritual crystal servant, but I have never heard you mention your magic pet, so it shouldn't be."
"Because my devil has defected." Brian said calmly. The food the Warlock Miss took out was simple, but very delicious - bread, cheese, crackers, fruit and some low-concentration wine.
"Defected?" Karadna was stunned for a moment, and then her crisp and pleasant laughter echoed from the closed cave.
"I didn't expect that the talented mage lord of Mokou Town, our Lord Protector of the Country, could not even raise his own magic pets well, and even let him defect." She smiled in a teasing tone:
"Is it because your character is too bad or you have a tendency to abuse the demon pet, which makes even your own demon pet not want to stay with your master? If this is spread, it will probably be unbelievable."
Hearing the sorcerer's joke, Brian was unmoved, but looked at her expression with her deep eyes carefully, and suddenly said, "It's true, but if you know that my demon pet is a certain influential grand duke of hell, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh."
"The lost power of the Hell?"
Hearing Brian's tone, it didn't look like he was lying. Karadna's hand holding food froze, and then after thinking seriously for a moment, her eyes were almost glaring out in a surprised tone, and then she said tentatively in an uncertain tone: "You are talking about Hell Lord, shouldn't you... Aphronas's former bloody battle commander."
"You are smart, you can guess it right." Brian looked at Karadna calmly. At the moment he nodded and admitted, he obviously felt that the look flashing in the sorcerer's eyes was not only shocked, but also a complex expression that made him unable to see through.
This made him vaguely feel that the secret of her true identity might have been getting closer and closer.
In fact, the topic about the magic pet was deliberately selected.
The purpose of this is mainly to allow the curious sorcerer to guide the problem to his demon pet. When he suddenly reveals the true identity of the demon pet in an indifferent tone, he can obtain some general information through Karadna's reaction.
Although he still doesn't know which devil grandpa is standing behind the other party, he can at least be sure that Karadna is definitely not a subordinate of Zarel.
And he could feel that the sorcerer should have just completed the contract with a certain devil's grand duke and had not fulfilled his obligations yet.
Otherwise, with her somewhat thick IQ, if she throws her into the extremely treacherous devil's nest, she will definitely not survive the second episode.
In other words, this sorcerer who has not fulfilled his contractual obligations now has the possibility of salvation.
As long as he knows who the other party signed the contract with and the specific content of the contract, he may be able to find a way to help her.
Brian ordered it and did not continue to discuss it. Instead, he picked up a piece of soft cheese with a crust like red paraffin and deliberately changed the topic. "I didn't expect that you prepared this food. Do you know what the cheese is called?"
"Of course I know, this is death-gazing cheese." Karadna seemed to have been in a brief meditation because of Brian's secret exposure. She quickly came to her senses and smiled at him. "The name of this cheese does not come from its effect, but from a creature in the Thunder Peak area of ​​Sambia and Cormier - the Katobrepas Lizard.
While the Catobrepas lizard can kill others by staring, which is a nightmare for most adventurers, its lizard eggs are surprisingly delicious, especially when added to the cheese, which also brings a stimulating aroma and permanently soft shape, luring users into a state that is almost drunk with wine, which is often eaten as an appetizer.”
Speaking of the wine, Karadna immediately picked up the bottle and prepared to fill a glass for Brian.
"There is no need to drink." Brian reached out to stop the sorcerer from pouring alcohol to himself. "The next task is very dangerous. I don't want alcohol to affect myself, even if the chance of the impact is minimal."
"Don't you know?" Karadna did not politely to him and put down the exquisite glass wine bottle. "Ilminster once said: A light drink in grief can increase one's wisdom, but drinking passionately is useless. It's not important to drink less."
"I don't know if he said this." Brian chuckled when referring to the sage of Shadow Valley, "but the problem is that I can always hear in the tavern that this old wizard likes to drink the most, and obviously he doesn't do that himself."
He took another bottle spread on the tablecloth, glanced at it, and smiled, "For example, this bottle is produced in Chenhai Town, called 'Ilminster's Choice', and is known as the most popular wine in the Kingdom of Cormier. I don't agree with it. Although the quality of this dark beer is good, it looks very turbid because of the foam produced by the yeast slices. The taste is very fluffy, and the bitter taste will produce a smoky follow-up flavor. For people like me, it is simply a dark dish."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind it! "So, this wine was definitely not named by the Shadow Valley Sage himself, it must be a marketing strategy." He couldn't help but complain, "After all, anyone who knows the old mage knows that he drinks almost everything, even the milk of the snake-haired banshee."
This was not because Brian deliberately blackened the old sage in Shadow Valley, but because it was true that this was happening, or because their players learned from a copy of the snake-haired banshee known as the "trumpet killer".
The crisp laughter echoed in the cave again. It was obvious that the warlock lady believed in Brian's words, or that she knew the black material.
During a pleasant meal, Brian faced the rich food and did not choose to drink, but simply ate some cheese and crackers.
He was most fond of mint-flavored crackers. After adding herbs and spices unique to the valley, they tasted extremely delicious and crispy, which made him unconsciously eat a few more pieces.
After all, the two of them set out from the early morning and were busy until dusk before they successfully arrived at the Shadow Plane. They experienced the battle and escape with the Shadow Dragon Turtle, as well as the terrible scene of energy loss. If it weren't for the magic potions and spells that had been prepared in advance to support their will, they would have collapsed in this plane that was more depressing and dangerous than the dark area.
At this time, find a safe place to relax, and eat some delicious food to replenish your energy. In order to deal with the more dangerous battles in the future, it is definitely the best choice.
However, what surprised Brian a little during the meal was that this very presence-prone warlock lady looked a little out of her mind, and occasionally bite her cheese with a small mouth, falling into a state of being out of sight and dazed, as if thinking about something difficult to solve.
This made him realize that the other party may have had other ideas after learning about his relationship with the demon pet.
As expected.
Just when Brian recovered his strength and summoned two more shadow creatures to help him find the lost monastery of Shar Church, the warlock lady spoke.
"Brian, you have signed a contract with the devil who is losing power, and let the other party take the opportunity to defect." Karadna put her elbow on her knees, leaned on her chin, letting her blond hair spread out on her side, and her beautiful burgundy eyes flashed with curiously, "Does this mean that she will definitely settle the contract with the other party in the future, after all, the devil's contract..."
She didn't continue, but Brian could feel the look of looking at him as he was saying these words, a little nervous and uneasy.
This made him vaguely feel that the sorcerer seemed to want to take the initiative to confess something to him, which is quite in line with her personality.
"You're right." He nodded slightly, giving her a positive look, "When the time is right, I will definitely go to Affonus to make a final say with this devil who lost power."
"Then we really have the same sympathy." Karadna breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at him, and then his five fingers fell into his thick blonde hair, grabbed his scalp and said distressedly:
"Actually, like you, I have signed a contract with a devil master from Batto Hell. Otherwise, I would not have survived in the Chaos Sea and was lucky enough to obtain the Chaos Wand to suppress my warlock bloodline."
Brian looked at her in surprise for a long time, then he was silent for a moment before asking: "Miss Karadna, I am very grateful for your initiative to confess your secrets to me, so what is the purpose of telling me these things?"
"Maybe it's because I trust you more." Karadna thought seriously for a moment, as if she had made a major decision in her life, and smiled at Brian:
"Since you dare to face the Devil and try to make a final decision, why can't I? So, Brian, if there really is one day, would you take me to Batto Hell?"
"Of course." Brian nodded without thinking and smiled, "After all, we are common allies. I definitely don't want to see you fall down and become the minion of the Devil's Grand Duke. If you have the chance, I will help you."
The whole thing was completely beyond his expectations. Brian did not expect that he had just a simple test, and the sorcerer told him everything.
This is naturally a good thing for him. In this way, he will not have to spend any extra effort to beware of her in the next action.
"Since you said that," Brian pondered slightly, looked up at Karadna, "Can you tell me which devil grandfather is it and what contract was signed?"
"This..." Facing Brian's straightforward inquiry, Karadna looked obviously hesitant. She looked at him apologetically, and then said helplessly and distressedly: "I'm very sorry, I can't tell you now, because this is part of the contract and I must abide by it. Moreover, I have not started to fulfill the content and obligations of the contract yet, and I am always waiting for the opportunity."
"Actually, I can guess a little if you don't tell me." Brian pondered for a moment, and secretly considered whether he should say the words in his heart. Then he stretched out his hand and gently stroked it. A magic symbol that was so blurred that it could not be seen clearly appeared on the ground, and then quickly disappeared.
As the symbol disappeared, the sorcerer beside him had opened his mouth and was about to fall off his chin. Her full chest quickly undulating, and she quickly covered her mouth with both hands to stop her from making a sound.
Her burgundy eyes looked at Brian, and in addition to being shocked, she was filled with admiration and admiration in a sense.
"It seems that I'm right." Brian frowned slightly, then stretched out again, showing a soft smile at her, "Don't worry, changing or tearing the devil's contract has not happened in the multiverse. When the time comes, I will take you to Batto Hell and make a break with these devil masters. What do you think, Miss Karadna?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He stretched out his right hand and his eyes firmly expressed his feelings.
With Karadna's confession, Brian knew that whether it was the future rise of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen or the redemption of the Nine Prison Grand Duke Zariel, it might become very lively.
Because the entire incident had not happened yet, at least four devil lords have begun to make arrangements in advance on the material plane and actively participate in this game.
In the future, this will probably be a devil's feast no less than the "recking" incident.
"You have said this. Can I find any other reason to object?" Karadna came to her senses, controlled her expression, and happily stretched out her white palm, shook hands with Brian, and a moving smile appeared on her delicate face. "Thank you for helping me make this decision. Whether it is successful or not, I will not blame you. After all, you have already allowed me to find a clear direction on the road ahead."
Brian let go of the sorcerer's smooth and soft little hands, looking at the smile on her face and the clear and flawless burgundy eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is hard to imagine that the innocent and innocent warlock lady in front of her had signed a contract with the Devil Lord who was best at playing with lust.
If she really gets trapped by the devil, she will be greeted with the most terrifying and terrifying torture.
However, what makes Brian even more unbelievable is that when Karadna knows that many cruel destinies she is likely to face in the future, she will still show her naive and optimistic attitude from the bottom of her heart.
This made him wonder if he should complain about the other party's mentality or if she really knew nothing about the devil's contract.
"To show my sincerity, I will give you a gift in advance to express my gratitude to you." Karadna waved her hand gently, and a pair of exquisite leather boots outlined by special rune lines appeared out of thin air in Bryan's sight.
The upper end of the leather boots folded into flips to reveal the arcane runes that were lined with golden runes.
Seeing this, Brian widened his eyes in surprise. Through his keen intuition about magic, he instantly realized this unexpected surprise, which was definitely the beginning of the legend.
"It is because of these boots that my strength has successfully broken through to the legendary realm." Karadna handed the equipment to Brian and told him:
"I originally planned to keep it forever and serve as a memorial item of great significance to me, but now I'll give it to you."
Brian looked calm on the surface, but his heart was slightly ups and downs. After the sorcerer handed him the equipment slightly reluctantly, he took it without hesitation and checked the attributes of the boots:
Wind Elements's Smart Boots 3
Category: Boots
Quality: Golden Legend
Inspiration: Glorious changes are inspiration
Equipment effect:
1. Acceleration technique: This equipment is constant with the effect of the acceleration technique. Any wearer will permanently obtain the spell effect of the acceleration technique. All attacks and casting speeds of the recipient will receive a bonus of 20%. The movement methods include ground movement, digging, climbing, flying, swimming, etc., and will also be greatly improved, reaching up to twice the normal speed of the recipient.
Note: Multiple acceleration techniques cannot be superimposed, and the acceleration techniques will counter or remove the slow technique.
2. Floating technique: This equipment is constant with the effect of the floating technique. Any wearer will permanently obtain the spell effect of the floating technique. The recipient can choose or remove whether to activate the spell effect of the floating technique anytime and anywhere through the control of his own thoughts.
3. Stability technique: This piece of equipment is constant with the effect of the stability technique. Any wearer will permanently obtain the spell effect of the stability technique. The victim ignores the impact of any terrain on his own movement. Moreover, it can maintain a normal speed when going uphill, and will not be affected by physical instability when going downhill.
Explanation: This is a pair of boots with special significance and legendary stories. Because its success also means that there is an additional legendary warlock in the world. At the same time, during the production process, this equipment also incorporates the elemental crystal of the legendary wind giant, making it contain powerful wind element power, so that the movement speed of any wearer will not only not be affected by any terrain, but will also be greatly improved anytime and anywhere. Whether it is fighting or running away, this equipment is a dream item for many professionals.
…………
Brian calmly withdrew his gaze, but he was quite satisfied with the equipment.
Judging from the attributes of this equipment, for rangers, wanderers, warriors, and even monks, they are undoubtedly the most cost-effective legendary equipment.
On the contrary, for a spell caster like Brian, the effect it shows is not as great as imagined.
For example, floating technique, acceleration technique and stabilization technique, these three spells, Brian can be permanently blessed by himself through magic constant technique.
At first glance, this equipment is not even useful to Brian. As long as he wants, he can always use his own constant spell.
But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that with this equipment, he will not waste his energy and time from now on, and will continue these three very practical spells.
After all, magic constant Technique is not without any price. Constant Technique will not only be dispelled by magic, but also consume a lot of experience during the constant period.
The most important thing is that if a person's body has too much constant magic, it is likely to cause unexpected changes due to the overload state caused by the gain spell.
Therefore, if most spellcasters do not necessarily have to, they will not always have too many buff spells for themselves, but choose chain triggering methods.
The equipment is different. Unless the equipment is completely damaged or forcibly destroyed by cracking, the permanent effect attached to the equipment cannot be cancelled.
Overall, the acceleration technique of this equipment is very practical to increase its movement speed and casting speed.
After all, in most battles, especially high-level battles, Brian's favorite spell is the space lock, which prevents the enemy from escaping through teleportation spells.
The consequence of doing this is that it is difficult for both parties to use teleportation spells. In this case, the effect of the acceleration technique will be fully reflected.
At the same time, having the bonus of this equipment also made Brian come up with a melee fighting style blessed by the Sword of Stars and Curse Fire.
"How about it, this equipment is quite satisfactory." The sorcerer on the side saw Brian who came to his senses and smiled in a slightly joking tone: "With this equipment, you can do accelerate exercise anytime, anywhere."
"My physique is not as bad as you think." Brian said without any weakness. "In my opinion, this piece of equipment is completely redundant to me."
"If you don't like it, give it back to me." Karadna looked at the other party's indifferent look and said angrily, "I have struggled for a long time in my heart before choosing to give it to you. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful."
"Well, I thank you for your generosity, Miss Karadna." Brian said thanking with an insincere smile, which made the latter roll his eyes at him in anger.
After putting on the equipment, Brian sensed the ghost creature he sent out, without any movement at all. He pondered for a moment and said to the sorcerer beside him, "If you have nothing to do, go back to your alien mansion to rest. I'll help you guard it here, and I will notify you when you set off."
"No, I'm not that weak yet." Karadna snorted and said indifferently.
"Okay, then you stay here honestly." Brian looked at her helplessly, then ignored her, called out his attribute bar, preparing to improve his level.
Rows of data emerged in his retina:
"Elevate the level of the Great Arcane!"
“Consuming 1253,000 experience.”
"The Great Arcane Level has been upgraded to Level 2."
"Get 72 points of arcane energy."
"Get the great arcane profession characteristics: recoil resistance!"
…………
As the level increased, Brian clearly felt that he became much closer to the magic energy around him.
These energy surround him, as if he added a nearly invisible defensive barrier to himself, protecting himself at all times.
Brian knew that this must be related to the level improvement, so he immediately checked out the newly acquired professional characteristics.
[Recoil resistance (Legendary profession characteristics): As the strength of the great arcane masters gradually improve, they have continuously gained in-depth understanding of the secret knowledge and have begun to completely break away from the magic net and master the mobilization of the original magic energy to cast spells. This ability can allow them to gradually gain the recognition of the original energy, and be surrounded by energy anytime and anywhere, protecting themselves from the influence and damage caused by various magic recoils.
Effect: The great arcane who masters this ability will receive half of the backlash damage caused by the magic release failure or is accidentally interrupted. At the same time, when the great arcane performs any protective means for himself, including protective magic barriers and armor or other equipment, when subjected to frontal or non-frontal spells and physical attacks, it will be immune to all the damage caused to the recoil force of the barrier and equipment.]
…………
Seeing this ability, Brian showed a sudden look.
This ability has a relatively large effect, and invisibly it is equivalent to providing him with a second layer of protection.
To give the simplest example, although the bulletproof vest can protect against bullets, it does not mean that the bullet will not be damaged when it hits you. It will still be damaged by internal injuries due to the powerful impact of the bullet.
The function of "recoil resistance" is to help him offset this damage, and whether it is a magic barrier or armor, he can be immune to this damage.
Looking at his newly acquired abilities, Brian felt quite satisfied, and couldn't help but sigh in secret that he could not imagine that after his arcane profession was promoted to the legendary realm, he could continue to acquire new profession characteristics.
If this is placed in other ordinary professions, it means that the potential has been exhausted and you can only continue to improve your level by exploring yourself.
The great arcane is different, as if it is only the beginning when it is promoted to the legendary realm.
After the level was upgraded, Brian glanced at the sorcerer curled up in the corner and continued to be vigilant and waited patiently for the shadow creature he sent out.
I don't know how long it took, when Brian suddenly opened his eyes, he saw a black shadow the size of a palm emerging in front of him.
He looked happy and immediately started communicating with him.
In just a moment, through the news conveyed by the shadow, he learned that the lost monastery of Shael Church was located at the approximate location of the shadow plane.
No longer wasted time, Brian walked to Karadna, kicked her round buttocks lightly, woke her up, and opened the portal and disappeared with her.
Chapter completed!
