Lord of War

Lookout area is the name of the only safe area in the ancient ruins area by the slave catchers in the wild land.

It is no longer possible to study for what purpose it was built here in the first place. But the only thing that can be confirmed is that this is indeed the only safe place in the entire ancient ruins area, because there are no corpses here, and there are not too many damages left on the ground. It is the most complete place Xiao En and others have seen so far. , even the watchtower with a height of about 40 meters is relatively well preserved-the reason why this area is called the lookout area is because of this watchtower.

Although the outer wall of the watchtower is covered with moss, and the iron gate at the entrance of the tower is gone, the lights on the watchtower can still be lit.

It is said that what is stored on it is a kind of whale oil extracted from the deep sea demon whale, which can be ignited no matter how long it is stored. Moreover, the goblin's steam power source is used as an operation, which can not only be ignited, but can also be extinguished when it is not in use, so even if it is now in ruins, the lights on the watchtower can still be ignited, but they can still be maintained. How long no one knows.

According to tradition, as long as there is a slave catcher team in the lookout area, the lights on the lookout must be lit after nightfall.

For a long time, whether it was Andre or any other slave hunting team that entered and exited through the gorge rift, they had followed these rules that had been handed down for some time, and it seemed that they had formed an instinct.

Xiao En and the others finally came to this area after passing through a dilapidated building corridor that could still be discerned as a luxurious mansion. However, when he was about 300 meters away from the observation deck, Sean felt as if he had passed through some kind of barrier constructed by unknown forces. The area is so well preserved.

It's just that this kind of power is not different from divine power. It was a special power that Xiao En couldn't understand. What he could feel was only the moment he stepped into the range of 300 meters, but he didn't feel it after entering or standing 300 meters away. the presence of power. Obviously, there seems to be a limit to the extension of this kind of power—the watchtower as the core covers a circle with a radius of about 300 meters around it, but he is a little confused about the specific situation.

"It's a barrier." Cecilia seemed to see Sean's doubts, so she said, "It's a barrier of protection. You seem to be less sensitive to magic than to divine power?"

"Now I specialize in killing demons and other creatures. I deal more with gods, and I'm really not sensitive to magic." Sean smiled wryly. do not know why. He seemed to feel that Cecilia was a little unhappy, "Besides, the curse-sealed swordsman is not a magic swordsman. Strictly speaking, he is more like a temple warrior, so he can probably sense magic. To a point, but can't accurately judge what."

"oh.

Cecilia responded and began to look around her surroundings.

"Can you see what enchantment it is?" Sean asked.

"At present, the only thing that can be judged is to drive out evil." Cecilia knocked here and there, touched here and there, and spoke after a while.

"You mean. Everything here is safe because of this enchantment?" Andre's face was incredulous.

The enchantment is a branch born out of the magic circle.

Different from the ability of the magic circle to create and generate domains, the enchantment is used to limit the "domain". So under normal circumstances, the function of the enchantment is relatively simple, nothing more than the two categories of trapping and defense. Of course, there are several subdivisions in detail. There are several types of defense, such as isolation, isolation, and repellence, but there are no detailed records in the magic guild. They are all self-proclaimed wild mages.

Unlike magic circles, which are relatively rare, barriers are the most common magic phenomenon in this world. Generally speaking, it can be divided into two types: natural formation and artificial formation. Judging from the current situation of the watchtower, it is obviously a man-made barrier. And the enchantment has an advantage over the magic circle, that is, once the enchantment is formed, it can almost automatically absorb magic power from the outside world, without the need for the caster to continue to provide magic power for the enchantment.

"Yes, it is indeed because there is an enchantment here, so this area will appear safe. However, this enchantment will only be fully activated after lighting the lights on the watchtower. Now it is only to maintain the minimum limit of self-operation That's all, it can't be regarded as a complete enchantment." Cecilia nodded, "But it's normal for you not to know, after all, you have never walked with a magician before."

Thinking about it this way, it is true. There are so many slave hunting teams in the barren land, and which one has magicians, even if there are, it is a very small part. After all, the south of the mainland is not as rich as the north, where magicians run rampant. As for the enchantment, it is also a taboo topic than the Godhead clay tablet, so it is not a problem to let Andre and others know, and it can even make them understand the importance of this enchantment.

However, Sean heard another meaning from Cecilia's words: "Currently? The only one? You mean, there is more than one barrier here?"

"Theoretically, the highest achievement of multiple barriers can be stacked up to five, but I have only seen this kind of legendary barriers in the academy before." Cecilia said with some uncertainty, "The barriers here I am Personally, I speculate that there should be two or three, but I really can't see the arrangement method, and if I deduce from the surface, I can only judge that there should be enchantments like exorcising evil."

"In other words, there are really undead creatures in this ancient ruins area." Xiao En's eyes looked a little deep.

"Don't mess around, we don't know what each other is at all." Cecilia saw what Sean wanted to do when she saw Sean's gaze, and Dang even stopped her, "There is a backlog of more than a hundred years here." Resentment, even if there are undead creatures such as generals of the dead, it is very possible."

The general of the dead is a high-level advanced creature of the black warrior. Its strength can basically be equal to that of the low-level gold, but because it is an undead creature, it is more dangerous than the general low-level gold powerhouse in terms of overall strength. And since the name is called the general. Moreover, they are at the gold level, because they are born with special abilities similar to the coercion of the undead, they can command undead creatures, and the undead creatures near the general of the undead will be greatly strengthened in combat power.

To explain it in terms of the game, this undead creature has special effects similar to halo skills.

Judging from the current situation of Xiao En's team, if they encounter this kind of undead creature, and if they fight against it in a place full of life like the ancient ruins area, the possibility of being wiped out is extremely high.

"But don't you find it curious?" Sean looked puzzled, "A place like this. For those magicians who specialize in undead magic, it is simply a natural treasure. With their ability to sense the breath of the undead and Judgment ability, after hearing the news that the Kingdom of Dabion failed to build a fortress here, I will definitely come here to see if there is anything that can be used, but until now there is not even a magician, and the entire ancient ruins area is obviously It is also in an undeveloped state, and there must be a reason for that.”

"Even if there is any special reason, it is not something we can handle at the moment." Cecilia seemed very determined this time, contrary to the obedient and obedient image she gave Sean in the past, "This is the first time I see To this enchantment. At least after I research all the functions of this enchantment, let's discuss whether to take risks in this ancient ruins area, shall we?"

"You guys step back first." Sean looked at Cecilia, who had an anxious face, then turned his head to look at Andre and the others, and said, "What should you do or what should you do? Follow your usual habits." First, go and light the lights on the watchtower, so that the entire enchantment can resume its function first."

Now that the lord has spoken. Even if Andre and the others still have doubts, they can only execute them first. Soon, the surrounding people dispersed first. Under the command of Andre, everyone began to prepare for a bonfire to cook food. After all, they have been eating compressed instant dry food before. It is rare to be able to take a good rest in a safe place. This time, Andre himself will be responsible for the lighting of the tower.

After everyone dispersed, leaving only Cecilia and Tini, Sean said again: "What did you find?"

"I didn't find anything. But I feel very unsafe." Cecilia said, "The formation of this enchantment is definitely not added later, but has existed from the beginning. The enchantment is the same as the magic circle , it needs to be planned and arranged, but if you look at the ground, it is very clean, and there is not even a trace of arrangement, so it can only show that when the fortress was built, the plan for the enchantment had already been buried in the foundation. Therefore, this watchtower and this area can be preserved for such a long time without signs of damage, which is hundreds of years old, maybe close to two hundred years old."

Sean frowned, the historical process of this world has been largely out of his understanding, largely because of his appearance. But what Sean can be sure of is that before he came to this world, the historical development of this world was exactly the same as his original situation in the game. There will certainly not be any change in what existed before.

It's a pity that the kingdom of Dabion was destroyed too quickly. Asuna had already breached it at the beginning of the first expansion pack. Sean didn't know much about the kingdom's information and history. But after hearing Cecilia's words at this moment, and thinking about the news he heard from Andre along the way, Sean felt that the Kingdom of Darbion would spend a lot of money to build a fort here, and it must have discovered the Gap What is the secret of the Rift Valley, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a large investment.

But the birth of the Gapland Rift is related to the gods, so the clues of history will involve the battle of Ragnarok. In that battle, Esswintel almost fell, leaving behind a clay tablet of godhood in the No. 3 fire hole, and the coldness of the three fire holes is connected in one vein. Appearing out of thin air for no reason, the coldness of that kind of knife wind is too much like the winter wind blade.

etc!

Winter Blade?

Sean felt as if he had figured out some key clue! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (m) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
