Chapter 16: Redline Thieves (Part 1)
Chapter 16:
"There are three teams left, we can't beat them." After Sarah woke up, Canghong spoke and said bluntly to Salin.
"I know, but I can't look back. When I go back, I might run into the Holy See. Didips is not safe. We want to leave Skochenya, and the only way ahead is."
"Sarah can't continue fighting." Canghong's eyes were a little red, and his weird appearance looked like a beautiful woman, more gorgeous than Sarah.
"Give me half an hour, let's rush over." Salin held a third-level magic core in his hand, without a trace of childishness on his face, and there was a kind of reassuring power when he spoke.
The four people sat in the fog of confusion, with a little fluorescent light that made everyone's face emit a miserable green color.
When Salin felt that the magic string had recovered more than half, he was distracted to check the injuries on his waist. The ascetic used the short spear condensed from the divine text to break through the three-sided water-width shield in one fell swoop, which made Salin feel scared.
The Water Wire Shield itself is a first-level magic. After being improved by Salin, its defense ability is close to the peak of level two-level magic. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a third-level magic. The only flaw is that it cannot be instantly emitted.
The water-lined shield turned into a ball, and no attack was borne by the front. The golden short spear did not slide away until it broke through the three-sided water-lined shield. If Salin had slowed down, he was now dead. What saved his life was not only the mutated magic. Salin looked at his waist. His belt was damaged, and something inside blocked the golden short spear.
Salin stretched his finger into the hole in the belt and hooked up something, but it was the ring that Baron Minghui lost to him. He sold 100 gold coins on the diopylate on the ring, leaving a bare golden ring. Salin's original intention of leaving this ring was because the ring was plated with pure gold, the kind of unrefined gold that could be used in magic potions.
Now a shallow scratch appeared on the ring. The golden spear slashed the gold-plated layer of the ring and was blocked by the material inside, so that it did not penetrate Salin's waist.
Salin's heart moved slightly. The material of this thing is so strong, even stronger than a magic shield. You should know that the shield created by level 2 magic is much harder than steel. The golden short spear broke through three sides in a row before sliding away, but only a trace of gold was rubbed off the surface of the ring.
The rings are weird!
Salin knows how to alchemy or fire magic, but he still has his own way. He takes out the crucible from his skin, throws the gilded ring directly in, and then adds black magic flame potion.
The melting point of gold is very low, and the magic flame potion emits orange-red flames. The gold slowly liquefies, revealing the true face of the ring.
The ring is green and has a metal texture, and is a bit mottled. A circle of negative words appeared on the inside of the ring, which is in the ancient mels language. Salin knew every character, but did not understand the meaning. To be simply speculated, it should be an ancient natural magic spell.
A long time ago, most magicians believed in the goddess of nature. After the decline of the Temple of Natural God, this group of wizards disappeared. Even if there were, they no longer publicly admitted their beliefs.
This magic ring should belong to a magician who believes in the goddess of nature. After disguising it, it fell into the hands of Baron Minghui for some reason. Salin originally thought he was fooled, but he did not expect that after the gold was melted, he obtained this magic prop with a history of at least 20,000 years.
No one can use natural magic anymore, and even if there is one, he can't learn it. Salin thought, but he was not discouraged. At least this thing is worth a lot of money, right?
Without being disappointed, Salin casually recited the insult text on the inside of his finger ring.
There were twenty-four characters in total, and Salin finished reading in four seconds. A green light that was hard to seep into the inner side of the ring and penetrated into Salin's palm. Salin felt his brain buzzing, and his eyes were dizzy for a moment.
Seeing that Salin was suddenly dazed, holding a terrible ring, without the aura of the past in her eyes, Shika suddenly became worried. She poked Salin's rib with her fingers and asked, "Captain, what's wrong with you?"
ah!
Salin screamed, Cang Hong and Sarah both looked over, Salin's face turned red, and he shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm checking the injury."
"Or, you drink some of this." Shika took out the holy water she had treasured. This was bought by her only silver coins she had when she left the village. Salin pushed Shika's hand away. He still remembered the last time he used holy water to heal his wounds. It was originally very gentle holy water, but it was stronger than wine and more dangerous than poison when she put it on him.
Seeing Shika pouting, Salin laughed. He was happy from the bottom of his heart. This ring turned out to be a space equipment.
What made Salin happy was that he could actually use this space equipment. He was just a first-level magician, and even ordinary magic props could not be used. He could only stimulate the scroll or stimulate the constant magic on the mage's robe.
The space props are equipment that only magicians above level five can use, but the space inside the ring has been completely unfolded to him at this moment.
There is a circular space inside the ring, although it is not big, Salin's heart trembles. Because there are three things in the ring space. These three things are undoubtedly also ancient magic props.
Salin suppressed the excitement in his heart, put his finger ring on his hand, and did not immediately take out the things inside to check. Canghong was still looking at this side, Salin was still a little afraid of him.
Humans gradually lost their faith in the Third Dynasty, and Goddess Meles fell. The value of this ring is probably much more than space props. Salin reads a lot of books and has a real teacher. Now he understands how powerful Jason is. An ordinary magician cannot be as rich as Jason, and he also has countless books and notes.
It was difficult for a magician without a heritage to get one of them, but Salin had read it for several years and had not finished it. You know, he did not read it in an ordinary way, but memorized it by memory magic.
The three items inside the ring are - an emerald green gourd, smaller than a slap; a string of necklaces looks like obsidian, but if you don't take it out, Salin can't be sure. Because steel rock, black crystal, some smoke crystals and some tremolite may be black.
The third item is a leaf. This leaf is a bit wilted and yellow, and Salin can't see any meaning. After all, most of Salin's knowledge is memorized by rote, without understanding it, and it is impossible to use it at will.
After discovering the secret in the ring, Salin even gave up on exploring the ruins. Any three things in the ring were sold out, which was probably enough for him to spend several years of cultivation.
However, Salin immediately gave up this idea. If he only provoked Count Su Fangsuo, it would be understandable that he would do this. The problem is that he is causing too much trouble now. The first-level priest under the God Envoy was killed by him, and there was also a monk. Salin had no way out and could only work hard to improve his strength.
If you can find magic equipment suitable for him in the ruins of the Second Dynasty, your life will have a little more security. Money alone can no longer make Salin feel safe. Things in this ring cannot be sold. Since the ring can be used by itself, the items inside may not be impossible.
When Salin first practiced magic, he just wanted to live a life where he could eat enough every day and not be bullied.
Now this wish is becoming more and more distant, and his primary goal has become to live and not be caught by the people of the Holy Church.
The magic string recovered quickly, with a level 3 magic core in hand and a white crystal ring Jason gave him. Salin's speed in restoring magic string far exceeds that of an ordinary first-level magician.
Sarah also sat up. Repair Water could not completely treat her injuries, at least she could move freely, but she should not expect to fight.
"Canghong, how far are we from the ruins?" Salin felt that his internal injuries were healed a lot, so he stood up and came to Canghong's side. The invisible shield on the mage's robe was aroused by him and he was secretly guarded. If Canghong turned against him, he would kill this shemale man without hesitation.
"There is at least 500 miles away." Cang Hong's face turned pale. He was not seriously injured. The reason for his poor condition was mostly due to the death of his companions, which made him a little depressed.
"How long will Sarah recover?" Salin had already begun to take the initiative invisibly. Although he was hired, Canghong could no longer be above him and would listen to Salin in everything. Otherwise, even if Salin walked away, he would not be able to leave the cave.
"We ignore the team in front. Now the people from the Vulture Mercenary Group may have discovered something wrong. It is difficult for us to attack again. Let Shika carry Sarah and we pass through the mangroves as fast as possible. There are horror demons and soul-sucking demons in the mangroves, and the other party will not choose to fight us in this area."
Canghong took a breath of air conditioning. Half of the mangroves marked on the map were submerged in the water. It was extremely dangerous inside and should have taken a detour. Salin saw at a glance that it was a shortcut and wanted to venture through to avoid conflict with the team ahead. This young magician has such a strong heart.
Canghong himself had the idea of giving up exploring the remains, but if he was afraid that if he gave up, Salin would give up Sarah.
Seeing Canghong silent, Salin smiled and said to Canghong: "The people we provoke this time will definitely not be able to compete with. If we don't gain anything in the ruins, even if we escape Skochenya, we will only be like the bereaved dogs in the future, and there is no possibility of making a comeback. Do you want to find a farm in the countryside or be a thug for the little noble?"
Canghong bit her lip and said angrily: "Okay, let's go."
