Half-elf Ranger

Arcanist!

Thorne looked at Pardo, who still had a hint of childishness on his face, and felt a little unbelievable.

When Thorne heard the word Arcanist, the first thing that came to his mind was some very one-sided official background information he had seen.

The ancient Netheril civilization was also called the Arcane Empire, which was an advanced magical civilization that could almost change the entire world.

The power of the Arcanists is not only due to the destruction of the individual now, but because of the ability to create all kinds of whimsy.

The intelligence attributes of these guys are too high. In the real world, all of them are at the level of academic tyrants, and scumbags like Thorne can only worship.

The appearance of the floating city is the pinnacle of their creativity.

Thorne just saw the wizard's tower's ability to instantly kill two Balrogs and the power of the magic crystal superconducting pulse cannon tonight. Naturally, he was deeply impressed.

These are the products left over from the arcane empire period. As for some information about the more powerful floating city than these, the official did not reveal much at the time.

It only showed a picture of a floating city descending to a certain kingdom of God. The picture flashed very quickly, but it was still captured by Thorne.

However, whether it is strong or not is not what Thorne is most concerned about. What really attracted Thorne was that when the game was promoted, the background history of the expansion was: Arcane robbery!

The official is not willing to reveal too much, only these four words.

This gave him a hint of association.

It seems that the only people who can have a direct relationship with the arcane are the arcane empire and the great arcanists who were hanging in the sky in ancient times.

In other words, this catastrophe is likely to be caused by them.

So Thorne saw the Arcanist player who suddenly appeared in front of him, which further confirmed his guess.

Since Pardo successfully took up the position of the Arcanist, it means that the inheritance of the Arcanist has not really disappeared.

Arcane catastrophe will definitely happen because of these Arcanists at some point.

"Aren't the wizards in the wizard tower all arcanists?" Thorne asked tentatively.

If Pardo succeeded in taking office by accident, Thorne might have doubts, but the wizard tower is really full of arcanists, and he is 100% sure.

"Yes, except for some apprentices, the other spellcasters are all incumbent Arcanists, but there are not that many." Pardo replied truthfully, he was a little strange why Thorne had such a big reaction when he heard the Arcanist .

The reason why he chose to tell Thorne so much was just to save his life, because Thorne said that only when he is strong can he win the respect and protection of others.

And he was in the position of an arcanist who was stronger than a wizard. In this group of players who generally did not even have the existence of wizards, let alone these arcanists who were more terrifying than wizards.

Thorne saved him twice today, not because of his potential as a wizard, so if he chooses to tell the truth, then Thorne will pay more attention to him again.

After all, he just wants to survive. In this uncertain world, it is too difficult for him, a level 1 arcanist, to truly grow up!

He could have developed slowly by relying on the protection of the wizard tower, but the series of accidents that happened today made it almost impossible for him to return safely by himself.

Now, he can only follow the crowd and follow the group to a safe place in a daze.

It seems that the Arcane Tribulation is really inseparable from these arcanists. Thorne glanced at Pardo and seemed to have guessed Pardo's careful thoughts, so he stopped thinking about it.

This kind of catastrophe is not something he can prevent. What he needs to do now is to quickly improve his strength and strive to have the ability to protect himself before the catastrophe comes, that's all.

When the sky falls, there are also those high gods who stand up.

"Then you cast it towards this passage, be careful, don't get too close." Thorne pointed to the passage and said to Pardo.

Pardo responded, then came over, and began to chant a spell.

Detecting traps is a first-level prophecy spell. The detection success rate of this spell is as high as 90%, which is much more efficient than that of rogues. The most important thing is that it is very safe.

hum!

After Pardo finished his last gesture, there was a soft sound, and suddenly this not very spacious passage was filled with a pale white light.

The Detect Trap spell can last at least 10 minutes, so Thorne unhurriedly looks towards the shrouded area.

Arcanists and wizards cast spells in the same way. The most obvious difference is that wizards rely on spell slots, while arcanists rely on mana, also known as blue bars!

As for other abilities, Thorne is not a spellcaster himself, so it is not very clear.

When the light of the detection trap enveloped the passage, Thorne finally saw the strong acid trap hidden in the passage through the covered light.

The trigger location of the acid trap is hidden under a very inconspicuous floor in the passage, but this floor intersects with multiple floors.

This is a multi-trigger device, as long as one is removed, the others will trigger quickly.

There are two irregular stones on the left and right sides of the wall, and the inside of the stone is obviously the entire spray device of strong acid.

It turned out to be hidden in the wall, no wonder it has not been found just now. Thorne sighed.

He had always thought that the strong acid spray device was hidden on the ground, so his attention was mainly on the ground, and he didn't pay too much attention to the traces on both sides of the wall.

"Okay, hurry up and dodge." Thorne motioned for Pardo to stop channeling spells.

Now that the location has been determined, the next step is to prepare to remove the trap.

After seeing Pardo leave, he thought for a while, and finally said to Trundle: "Brother Trundle, come and help, this trap is a bit tricky."

This is a multiple-trigger strong acid trap, and if Thorne is not 100% sure, he doesn't want to get involved easily.

So after seeing the troll, he thought of a good solution.

Originally, there was an easier way, and that was to let Andrina send a fireball to clear the field directly, but if the movement was too large, it would attract the attention of the rat and the unknown evil.

Trundle seemed to have understood what Thorne meant, he smiled, and walked over without hesitation with a mace.

"See the floor I'm pointing to, that's the trigger for the trap." Thorne saw Trundle approaching, and pointed to the ground with his long sword. Seeing Trundle nodded, he continued:

"The two positions on the wall are strong acid spray devices. If the trap is triggered, the strong acid on both sides will be sprayed out all at once. The arms of your trolls are generally long, so you hide in this position.

Although this is not a dead spot, I have calculated that it is the location where the strong acid covers the least, and then you use the mace in your hand to hammer the trigger device on the floor with all your strength. Is there a problem? "

Trolls are a race with at least 25 institutional attributes, and they have a strong regeneration ability.

Therefore, it is the best choice to let Trundle trigger the acid trap. Although strong acid has the effect of restraining regeneration for trolls, as long as it is not hit the key point, it is not a big problem.

"No problem!" Trundle didn't think about it, just glanced at it, and immediately responded.

"Then please!" Thorne looked at the ugly but upright troll in front of him and patted him on the shoulder.

Then Thorne's left hand suddenly slipped a wooden holy emblem with a five-star paw print from his sleeve.

- "One Ring of Magic: Resist Energy Damage (Strong Acid)!"

Thorne clenched the holy emblem and made a standard casting action, and a light green light appeared on the wooden holy emblem.

Then Thorne touched Trundle's body with his left hand, and was instantly enveloped by an almost invisible energy field.

bump!

In the narrow passage, a dull soft sound came out.

Puff puff!

Immediately after that, streaks of strong acid liquid flashing with faint green light splashed from the spray launcher on the wall.

At this moment, two strong acids suddenly shot at Trundle's face, Trundle didn't have time to dodge, and immediately greeted him with two arms.

Zizi!

The strong acid broke open the energy protection field around him without any resistance, and splashed directly on Trundle's arm, making a sizzling sound, and his arm was gradually corroding.

What a strong corrosive!

Thorne's complexion changed after seeing it. This level of strong acid is probably at least made from the gastric juice of a jungle viper with a challenge level of 10 or higher.

So he immediately pulled out the dagger from his waist and rushed over.

puff!

Two cold lights flashed, accompanied by a muffled groan from Trundle.

Trundle's arms were severed by Thorne, which also stopped the corrosion of the acid.

The two arms fell to the ground and turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
