Scene 11 Nightfall

Scene Eleven: Into the Night

All the way back to the refugee team, Brando learned that Tamar had been looking for him after waking up from a coma in order to thank him for his rescue last night. At that time, he saw Brando, Charles, and the rider leaving the refugee team together, and then he followed all the way. He did not expect that by coincidence, he ran into Brando performing a forbidden spell.

But Brando was not worried that Tamar would turn to the Temple of Fire and report himself. On the one hand, he felt that this tough middle-aged man didn't look like that kind of person, and on the other hand, Tamar couldn't produce evidence.

What Brando didn't know was that he was surprised by Tamar's identity, but the other party also felt that he was mysterious. The middle-aged man had only seen descriptions of the access control technique of the blood magic circle in some sheepskin documents. In fact, even he didn't know how to perform this access control technique. It was only inferred that the other party was using this forbidden technique.

But I have to say, even so, he guessed right, such acumen and talent are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, Tamar has no prejudice against the forbidden technique itself. Now, which one of the nobles does not violate the forbidden technique? The Temple of Fire also strictly prohibits the sale and smuggling of slaves, but this dirty business has not flourished in the border areas, and even the clergy in some places have participated in the conspiracy.

Compared to this, he now hopes to discuss the other party's alchemy skills with this young nobleman. The middle-aged man thought about it and asked, "My lord, what do you want to make?"

When Brando thought that the future master of alchemy would actually call himself an adult, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered: "I need to synthesize a batch of soul crystals. The material is the remains of high-level undead. I want to use them to make a soul statue."

In fact, what he wants to do is the white stag of the soul statue, which is a relatively simple kind of soul statue. It can summon the soul of a white stag. In the oak forest, the quiet sunlight shines on the island in the middle of the grove, which symbolizes the resting place of the soul. Therefore, the white deer is very sensitive to the soul, and Brando wants to use it to sniff out the ghosts hidden in the spirit world .

That may be the first mid-level undead unit they are about to encounter, the most terrifying killer and eyeliner for undead wizards in the night.

"Soul Statue?" Tamar couldn't help being a little weird. The Soul Statue is just a simple alchemy product, and its only difficulty lies in the difficulty of obtaining materials. It was hard for the middle-aged alchemist to imagine that Brando would use a forbidden technique to practice a soul statue?

"Mr. Tamar, you don't have to be confused. It's actually because of the lack of alchemy tools..." Brando replied, seeing through the other party's doubts.

Tamar almost fell to the ground when she heard that.

One of the reasons why the blood refining technique is so powerful in the records and is called a forbidden technique is because it can be used on the battlefield through fast and simple means, and it has advantages that ordinary alchemy can't match. However, the activation of the high-level magic circle by the blood refinement technique had a terrifying backlash against his own body.

In the past wars between the light camp and the dark kingdom, alchemists used the blood magic circle to sacrifice themselves to summon powerful artifact creatures to turn defeat into victory. But all in all, the core of this technique lies in sacrifice, which is completely contrary to the general teachings of light. , so it is listed as prohibited.

But now this young nobleman actually regards it as a substitute for alchemy tools. After all, a professional alchemist should carry the tools with him even if he loses his life.

"This, my lord. In fact, I also have tools at hand. If you don't mind, you can use mine. Blood magic circle, a forbidden technique that does a lot of damage to your body, is better to be used sparingly." It took a long time for Tamar to react, Said.

"Of course I don't mind, I'll trouble you." There are ready-made alchemy tools that can be used. Of course, Brando would not be stupid to bleed himself. Although the No. 5 holy water is not as powerful as the No. 7 holy water, it can save It is also a precious medicine that can save a life at a critical moment.

Being able to reduce the cost of alchemy and gaining a future master of alchemy by accident put Brando in a good mood. For the first time in days, he felt a sense of relief, which allowed him to easily communicate with Shire and Tamar. Individuals discuss alchemy techniques as they go.

As a sorcerer's apprentice, although he hasn't really mastered alchemy skills yet, all the highland sorcerer mentors in the Karasu Black Tower are masters of alchemy, and his knowledge is extraordinary.

And Brando has level 5 alchemy knowledge, even if he takes Aruin's official alchemy exam, he can easily get the title of a first-level professional alchemist; To be honest, he is more like an alchemy genius.

Tamar benefited a lot from the discussion with them, but the middle-aged man had some unconstrained ideas that surprised Brando. He knew that the other party lacked an opportunity and external environment, otherwise one day he would become the legendary master.

After all, alchemy is an extremely costly technique: the teeth of these intermediate-level corpse witches he used before, each sold for more than 300 Torres on the black market or wizard market.

And a total of 30 pieces are needed to make a simple white deer statue.

The three were discussing, but Brando saw Freya walking drowsily along the long queue of refugees. What's happening here? He froze for a moment, couldn't bear to go over and reached out and shook his hand in front of the other party, but there was no response, so Brando had to pat the other party's forehead

Freya was startled, and woke up suddenly: "You, what are you doing!" She saw that it was Brando, and couldn't help showing a gritted expression: "Brando! Where did you go? , There are so many people here, I can hardly handle it!"

Her voice became smaller and smaller, not as if she was complaining, but as if she was very wronged. Brando asked her to lead these refugees, and she did her best, but as the number of refugees increased this day, she was already feeling exhausted. In fact, like Brando, she hasn't closed her eyes once in the past few days. And compared to Brando, she is under a lot of pressure.

Seeing Brando and Freya talking, Shire and Tamar took a step back tacitly, and then continued the previous discussion. As for what happened between the young man and the girl with the long ponytail, they just pretended they didn't see it.

The so-called bystanders are clear, Brando is completely unaware of Freya's special dependence on him while the young wizard servant is interested in watching the show. As for Tamar, the honest middle-aged alchemist thought that the young lady was the betrothed wife of the young nobleman.

"You haven't slept yet?"

"So many people, how do you have time. Brando, do you know that it seems that the White Mane Swordsman Group was defeated. Just now we received a lot of soldiers who retreated from the Sharp Rock Valley. It is said that many people died..."

Freya rubbed her eyes that were red like rabbits, and said with some dissatisfaction.

Brando was taken aback, this silly girl couldn't have done everything by herself. He couldn't help but rubbed his forehead: "You don't want one person to do everything you can do, do you?"

"Then, what should we do?" Freya stared blankly at him.

"Aren't there still Leto and Uncle Mano? It's really not good. You can promote a few people from the refugees, give them power, and let them help you?" Brando felt that the girl with ponytail was simply a root.

"Ah, you, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Brando tapped her forehead: "It has nothing to do with me, it's because you are too stupid."

Freya blushed immediately, and hurriedly pushed his hand away: "I, I'll talk to you later." After speaking, she turned around and ran away as if on fire, leaving only a furious back. Seeing the ups and downs of the ponytail behind him, Brando couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

"How is it?" As soon as Freya left, Charles followed up from behind with a smile.

Brando picked up the water bag and was taken aback: "How about what?"

"Freya, she is a very nice girl. She has a kind heart and is serious and cute. Can't you see, Lord Lord, she actually likes you." The young mage entourage replied.

Brando just raised his head and took a sip of water, and he couldn't help but spit it out.

"What did you say?"

"I said, Miss Roman and Miss Freya are in big trouble, my lord."

Brando spent the whole afternoon carving out a proper container, because after all, it was the first alchemy work. At the beginning, he had to complete the white stag base by himself, but after killing several pieces of fir Kino Brando soon discovered the gap between dreams and reality.

The best finished piece on his hands looks more like a turnip than a buck. In desperation, he had to entrust this work to Tamar. Most professional alchemists should actually be good at crafting, tailoring, painting and even forging skills. Of course, except for Brando, who is half-baked.

When we got out of the carriage, it was almost evening, and the sun was gradually sinking under the rolling hills in the west. The afterglow of the setting sun coated the mountains with a beautiful bronze color, and the tips of the fir forests in the distance shone like gold powder.

Brando held the carriage with one hand, looked at the sunset in the sky, and couldn't help but think that if he went westward in that direction, he would eventually meet a high mountain Kalanga Mountains that stretched into the clouds. It winds and extends to the west, forming a peninsula in the Inner Sea of ​​the Dead Moon.

He remembered that his first long-distance team adventure in the game was to advance along that forest and finally reach the east coast of the Dead Moon Inner Sea.

This is the world, so truly presented in front of his eyes.

After leaving the carriage, Brando spent some time looking for Roman, but he couldn't find the future business lady and went there again after searching for a long time. In fact, the business lady was carrying out her own adventures all day long. You can't see her.

This lady seems to be full of vitality, and she always helps a lot in the refugee team. In fact, her enthusiasm has won her a reputation among the refugees. Brando can hear it everywhere she goes. So what if the refugees are talking about that lady or that lady

The last time he looked at the sky, it was beginning to darken.

At about 7:30, Brando ordered the refugee team to stop in a deep valley. hiding something. When the fog began to form in the mountains, accompanied by the sound of night owls in the distance, it was creepy

But Brando knew that only in this kind of place could he avoid the sight of Madara's skeleton vulture in the sky. At night, it's time for ghosts to haunt.

After settling down the refugees, Brando asked the self-defense group to log on the nearby hillside. He wanted them to make a batch of simple spears in a short period of time to replenish the newly added manpower.

His core strength is still the cavalry team headed by the security cavalry, Mano and others, and now it has expanded to more than 50 people. And since this day, he has received close to a hundred mercenaries and white-maned light infantry, plus the militia recruited from refugees, this number can be doubled.

So now he has no shortage of hands, what he lacks is weapons, and the self-defense group still has three people sharing a sword, which reminds him of the revolutionary ancestors in his own world.

On the other side, Brando asked Charles to gather several leading figures in his hands, such as Leto, Mano, Uriel, and the new Bartom and others who joined today represent the For the small circle of his subordinates, he must explain to them the plan that must be implemented tonight, so as not to go wrong at that time.

At eight o'clock, the last ray of light sank below the horizon, and the twelve stars of the Witch Throne first appeared in the eastern sky

Brando and these people stood on the top of the valley. While watching the refugees in the valley below who were busy setting up camps, he said: "You have also seen the situation during the day today. The White Mane Legion and most of the refugees are in the sharp rock The news of what happened in the river valley must have reached most of you. Madara's tactical intention is not just to drive us away, on the contrary, they want to kill us, so that the news of the fall of Riddenburg can reach Vatican as soon as possible. Mill"

"Then what should we do, my lord. At this time, the army of undead has far surpassed us. Our riders said that they saw a large sea of ​​skeletons in the west. They move slowly during the day, but they will cover the mountains at night. "Mano raised his head and asked.

"And zombies," another added.

"Of course there is a way, but it is impossible to expect to escape. Because of Luc Besson's failure, most of the elites of Dead Maggot and Kabais have already circled in front of us, and we have to find a way to take a shortcut from the other side." Bu Lando replied: "So, have you heard of the Boneyard of the Saints?"

Everyone was startled.
