[Blessing]! [Faction Weapon - Kindness]! [Bear's Fortitude]! [Bull's Strength]! [Cat's Grace]! [Magic Armor]! [Advanced Magic Weapon]! [Death Barrier]! [Protection from Evil]! [Stoneskin]! [Speed]! [Sharp Edge]! [Flame Shield]! In just a moment, Zuo Si used the cards hidden in his sleeves with extremely skillful movements to bless Davian with a bunch of blinding strengthening and protective arcane and divine spells.
The latter didn't even say a word, and rushed to the front from the back of the team, holding a shield and a flaming sword to meet the crazy dark guard Warren.
Boom! The moment the two people with extraordinary powers collided with each other, a deafening sound like a sonic boom was heard.
The subsequent impact created a gust of wind that made it impossible for other people around to open their eyes.
Without a doubt!
This is the aftermath of the battle between high-level warriors after their levels reach a certain level.
Since their physical fitness has long been that of true "superhumans", the speed at which they swing their weapons in battle can be several times that of ordinary military soldiers.
The most intuitive manifestation is that a blurred afterimage will appear when observed with the naked eye.
That's not some magical effect, it's just a visual tearing effect caused by speed exceeding a certain threshold.
In just a few seconds, Davian and Warren fought dozens of rounds.
The clanging sound of weapons colliding and the flying sparks shocked Luger, who had just climbed up from the ground.
You know, as a dwarf defender, he has always been proud of his strong defensive ability.
But now, seeing Warren's violent attack with the two-handed sword, and Davian's airtight defense with the dragon scale shield, he felt for the first time his own weakness and powerlessness.
Because the dwarf knew that if it were him at this moment, he would be torn into pieces in the blink of an eye by the enemy with overwhelming strength advantage.
As many famous warriors have described, in close combat, strength is always the most important and decisive attribute, no doubt about it.
As for other skills, tactics, and steps, they must all be put aside.
Without the intervention of magical power, when a person completely crushes his opponent in strength, he can win the victory with ease just by waving the weapon in his hand wildly.
The person being crushed can do nothing but try his best to block, parry, and dodge to delay a little, or else the only option left is to give up defense and die together.
"Is this the strength of Death Hunter Warren? No wonder so many famous teams died at his hands..."
Kels shuddered with lingering fear.
He simply couldn't imagine what a bloody scene it would be now if the Dragonborn Knight hadn't stepped up to help the dwarf when he was knocked down just now.
Although the bard himself has some skills in using light weapons such as longsword, dagger, and rapier, he can also wear light armor and use a shield.
But compared to this terrifying killing machine, you would be chopped into meat paste in minutes.
By the same token, the thief's role in an adventure team is not to engage in frontal combat, but to be responsible for tasks such as reconnaissance, setting traps, sneak attacks, and poisoning. Its functional role is far greater than combat.
So letting the half-ling Korra fight Warren is basically the same as letting her die.
"Idiot! Instead of sighing here, you might as well use your strongest spell to help." Ruger scolded angrily.
But Kels smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sos has just added all the arcane and divine spells that can strengthen and protect Davian. He doesn't need my help at all. And with Warren's professional level and the powerful [Dark Blessing] on him, it is enough to offset the effects of most control spells. To be honest, with the spells I memorized today, I have no way to deal with him at all."
"Bah! What a waste!"
The dwarf spat at his teammate with disdain, then rushed forward without hesitation, wanting to share the defensive pressure for the Dragon Knight.
Unfortunately, before he could get close, he saw a huge black shadow suddenly swooping down from the ceiling above his head.
Bang! The unlucky Luger fell to the ground again.
But this time, he was not as lucky as before. The shield instantly flew out of his hand four or five meters away.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a "spider elf" with a humanoid upper body and a giant spider lower body.
This is a loser who failed the test of the spider goddess Rose and was eventually transformed into a cursed form.
In the eyes of most dark elves, "spider elves" are creatures lower than slaves, constantly reminding them never to fail, otherwise they will suffer the same fate.
The spider elf who pounced on the dwarf was obviously a male, holding a sharp scimitar in one hand and a long sword in the other. His brutal and bloodthirsty eyes revealed his naked and undisguised murderous intent.
Ruger didn't have time to think and immediately raised the axe in his hand to try to block.
But the problem is that he only has one weapon, while his opponent has two.
When the scimitar was successfully blocked, the long sword with a cold glow pierced the unprotected eyes like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
At this critical moment, a sheep's head made entirely of energy crashed over from a distance.
Boom! The spider elf flew sideways six or seven meters away on the spot, its belly, which was as big and round as a spider, was obviously sunken, and blood kept spurting out of its mouth.
Needless to say, this was Zuo Si's decisive use of the Gongyang Ring.
Because if he didn't take action, the sword would probably pierce his eye socket and penetrate his brain.
"Damn it! What bad luck! Why did it have to be at this time? Be careful! The spider elves on the second floor always come in groups!"
Ruger got up from the ground in a panic. The first thing he did was to curse and shout a warning at the top of his voice, while he quickly ran over with his short legs to pick up the shield.
Just as he said, as the first spider elf was repelled, a creepy sound soon came from the passages in all directions around it.
Immediately afterwards, countless black shadows emerged one by one from the ground, walls, or ceiling above.
"One, two, three, four..."
"Oh my god! There are twelve spider elves in total!"
The halfling thief Korra began to sweat profusely due to nervousness.
You know, even under normal circumstances, encountering so many spider elves on the second floor would be very dangerous.
Not to mention that there was a "Death Hunter" Warren who was fighting fiercely with Davian in front of him.
Just when everyone felt helpless, they suddenly heard a voice chanting a spell coming from behind them.
Zuo Si calmly began to wave his hands and perform various complicated spellcasting movements.
Upon seeing this, the dwarf immediately shouted to the other two, "Be careful to protect the spellcaster!"
"Oh no! Left! They are coming!"
The poet Kels suddenly drew out his sword, and with his other hand held a small round shield that could barely protect half of his upper body, and blocked Zuo Si's side.
Luger stood right in front of the enemy where there were the most enemies.
As for the halfling thief Korra, she glanced down at the sword that she saw as a long sword but others saw as a short sword or even a long dagger. She couldn't help but sigh slightly, and took a step forward, mustering up her courage to fight those spider elves that were several times taller than her.
There's no way around it, since halflings are usually only about one meter tall.
Whether in terms of strength or the size of weapons and arm length, they are clearly at an absolute disadvantage.
Seeing the ferocious spider elves rushing up like crazy, the three people present were so nervous that they didn't even dare to blink.
When the spider elf that was rushing closest was less than three or four meters away from Zuo Si, three dazzling lights suddenly shot out from the ground beneath their feet.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, a huge summoning circle appeared out of nowhere.
moment!
Three ogre zombies of astonishing size crawled out of the magic circle.
Each of them held a thick and long stick in his hand, and without saying a word, they started smashing the enemy in the front.
The spider elf was rushing too fast to stop and couldn't block three sticks at the same time.
He barely dodged the first blow, then used the weapon in his hand to block the second blow, and was hit hard on the head by the third blow.
Bang! No surprises!
The ogre zombie's terrifying power knocked the spider elf to the ground and cracked its head open.
The other two ogre zombies followed closely behind, swung their sticks and beat the man to death in just a few hits.
You should know that the strength attribute of the ogre zombie is much higher than when it was alive.
The upper body of the spider elf still looks a bit slender like a drow, so there is no obvious increase in its strength attribute.
Therefore, the result of the close combat between the two is obviously that the ogre zombie has an overwhelming advantage.
What's more, the ogre zombies have thick skin and flesh, and the low-level undead have no intelligence, let alone feel fear.
"No...undead?"
Kels looked at the several huge monsters that suddenly appeared around him and was a little confused.
The sensitive and vigilant half-orc Korra hurriedly stepped back, fearing that she would be hit by the bloody stick by accident.
With her small body, she could probably go straight to see the halfling god of fraud and thieves that she believes in.
"Don't be nervous, they were all summoned by me." Zuo Si explained hurriedly.
These three ogre zombies were cannon fodder summoned briefly through the [Level 5 Summoning of the Undead] recorded in the Book of the Dead.
Normally, [Five Rings Summon Undead] can summon a fifth-level undead creature, such as a mummy, a vampire spawn, a corpse, etc.
You can also summon two level 4 undead creatures, such as pterosaur zombies and wraiths.
Or you can summon three level three undead creatures, like the ogre zombie you see now, as well as giant skeletons and ghouls.
Taking into account the narrowness of the surrounding passages and the lack of meat shields to resist the attacks of the spider elves, Zuo Si decisively chose the most cost-effective ogre zombie.
Realizing that these large undead creatures were "meat shields" summoned by their companions to attract fire, the dwarf immediately understood and hid behind the ogre zombies.
When the next spider elf warrior rushed up to attack, he seized the opportunity to crawl out from between the legs of the ogre zombie, swung his axe and chopped off one of the latter's thin spider legs.
“Ah ...
The spider elf warrior screamed in severe pain, and lost his balance and slid to the side.
The ogre zombie seized the opportunity and broke the opponent's spine with a stick.
Luger followed closely behind and completed the "finishing blow" neatly, chopping off the enemy's head from the neck.
The poet and halfling next to them also had rich combat experience. They used the huge size of the ogre zombie as cover while looking for weaknesses to counterattack.
As a thief, Korra took advantage of her small size and often went around the blind spots of the spider elves, then sneaked up and launched fatal attacks.
Almost every attack would inevitably cut into the joints of the opponent's spider's lower body limbs.
When the target loses balance and falls to the ground, she will cooperate with the ogre zombie to kill him mercilessly.
Seeing that these three teammates were reliable, Zuo Si felt relieved and continued to concentrate on casting spells.
After a while, a huge fireball exploded with a bang in front of the stunned gaze of the dwarves, and Davian and Warren were sucked into the fierce battle.
The aftermath of the terrifying high-temperature flames instantly burned several spider elves who were hiding behind and did not take action easily.
When the flames faded, everyone realized that the Dragon Knight was not injured, and not even a single hair or beard had fallen out.
On the contrary, Death Hunter Warren was badly burned.
The exposed face became burnt on the outside and tender on the inside by the flames and was almost cooked through.
Obviously, this sudden fireball angered the dark guard who had fallen into madness, and his red eyes were filled with strong and direct malice.
He suddenly raised the sword in his hand, pointed the skull mark at everyone, and then launched some powerful evil magic.
Just less than a second!
The spider elves closest to Warren began to let out heart-wrenching wails, and then their bodies exploded one after another. The blood seemed to be controlled by an invisible force and poured into the body of this powerful dark warrior.
Fortunately, David was protected by [Protection from Evil] and [Anti-Death Barrier], so he was not seriously affected.
After realizing that something was wrong, he immediately began to retreat.
After a while, all the spider elves who came here after smelling the blood and hearing the sound of fighting were killed.
Warren looked as if he was soaked in blood, with his entire body showing a strange black and red color.
Not only that!
His body seemed to have doubled in size, and the skull pattern on the hilt of his sword was spewing out terrifying negative energy that made one's scalp tingle.
"Blasphemer! I will sacrifice your soul to the great god of tyranny, Bane!"
The Dark Guard's voice always seemed to contain tremendous rage.
"If this statement was said by Mansong or Fuzor Chamberlain, it might have some deterrent effect. But a weakling like you who collapsed into madness upon hearing that the god you served died is not worthy of speaking in front of me."
Even while saying this, Zuo Si always kept a faint smile on his face.
But everyone around could sense a condescending attitude, as well as contempt and disdain for this "Death Hunter".
"Weakling?!"
There was a chilling gleam in Warren's eyes.
"Isn't it?" Zuo Si asked with a meaningful smile. "Look at what Manshoon and Fuzor Chamberlain are doing after Bane's death, and what you, a waste, are doing. They are trying to save Zhentil Keep and Zhentarim from being seized by Cyric's church, and trying to get the God of Tyranny to return by letting believers continue to pray. But what about you? You are here like a psychopath, hunting low-level adventurers meaninglessly. Is it so interesting and fascinating to bully the weak who have no power to resist?"
These words were like a sharp dagger piercing Warren's heart.
He was in a trance for a moment, then he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that your game of slaughtering the weak ends here."
Zuo Si raised his hand and a bright, dazzling beam of light shot out from between his fingers.
The moment this beam of light hit the dark guard, all the protective spells he had cast on himself were instantly stripped away.
Voter's ability: [Advanced Dispel Magic].
Because the dispelling ability of this spell is calculated based on a LV20 priest.
Therefore, even if Warren had the spell immunity ability of [Dark Blessing], he could not resist it.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Si threw the spellcasting materials (mercury, phosphorus, diamond and opal powder) that he had prepared in advance into the air, and instantly used the power of divine magic to draw a rune containing energy under Warren's feet.
The latter subconsciously took a step back, and the rune was directly triggered.
The shocking explosion sent all this energy rushing into the Dark Guard's body, instantly causing intense pain that could not be described in words.
“Aa ...
The heart-wrenching screams could be heard clearly even from hundreds of meters away.
Warren couldn't even stand up. He fell to his knees with a thud, his whole body twitching uncontrollably.
Voter's ability [Badge of Pain].
This spell can cause all living things within a radius of eighteen meters to suffer terrible pain that cannot be described in words.
Even if you leave the area, the effect will last for more than an hour.
Many people who lack strong willpower may even faint from the pain.
However, the willpower of the Dark Guard is obviously much stronger than that of more than 99 percent of people.
And it is hard to say whether he can be considered a "person" now.
After just a few seconds, Warren actually struggled to stand up, enduring the severe pain.
At the same time, the blood-red light of the sword in his hand became brighter.
The next second...
This guy suddenly raised the sword high above his head, and he seemed to have completely lost his mind and gone crazy, roaring like a wild beast.
"No matter who you are! Die now!"
Immediately afterwards, the plasma was ignited by some force during the splashing process, forming the "Hellfire Breath" from the deepest part of Baator Hell.
This is a fire of incredible power and destructiveness.
Anyone who is hit by it will not only have to endure ultra-high temperatures of over one or two thousand degrees Celsius, but will also suffer terrible and evil damage.
Without a doubt!
The souls of innocent people killed by this mad dark guard in the past two years have all been sent to Baator Hell without exception, instead of being sacrificed to the dead god of tyranny Bane.
In other words, he, like those poor deceived creatures, was just a pawn played by the devil at will.
But chess pieces are chess pieces, and the power of "Hellfire Breath" is definitely not a joke.
Even though David was wearing red dragon armor and had a certain degree of fire resistance, his body quickly decayed, aged, and withered the moment he was sprayed, and his flesh began to fester at an unimaginable speed.
可即便如此，他仍旧没有一丝一毫的退缩，举着盾牌坚定的挡在主人身前，两只眼睛里没有半点对于痛苦和死亡的畏惧。
相比之下，冒险小队原本的三名成员则完全被吓傻了，发疯一样想要拉着左思一起往后跑。
他们可不觉得，自己能够在这种死亡烈焰的灼烧中活下来。
因为几秒钟之前，那些身强力壮的食人魔僵尸连一秒钟都没有撑住，就被烧得连一丁点灰烬都没留下。
只可惜，左思并没有想要撤退的意思，直接推开蔻拉示意对方不用管自己。
最终，矮人防御者、人类诗人和半身人盗贼就这样连滚带爬顺着台阶逃回一层。
等这些临时队友彻底走远后，左思这才意味深长的说道：“强悍的力量、出色的剑术、惊人的物理防御力和魔法抗性、大范围的群体吸血能力、能够使用地狱炎息，真是个是个制作成召唤卡牌的好苗子。”
很显然，眼前这位陷入癫狂的黑暗卫士，绝对是他目前为止遇到过最强的战士，没有之一。
戴维安如果不是开战前加持了一大堆强化和防护法术，否则根本不可能坚持这么长时间。
“杀戮！鲜血！死亡！我要挖出你的心脏！一口一口的吃掉！只要能够收集到足够的灵魂，伟大的暴政之神班恩就会重新复活。”
沃伦明显又陷入了失去理智的状态，挥舞着那柄包裹“地狱炎息”的魔剑冲了过来。
仅剩下一口气的戴维安试图进行阻拦，但差不多已经完全崩溃的身体无法支撑他做出这个动作，整个人扑通一声栽倒在地。
黑暗卫士完全无视了龙裔骑士，直接从其身上跨过去，两只冒着红光的眼睛里充满了滔天怒火。
可下一秒，他就体会到了贸然接近一名佩戴大量魔法装备，尤其是戴着好几枚储法戒指的施法者，是一件多么鲁莽、冒失且愚蠢的事情。
只见左思手上其中一枚戒指突然闪过一抹亮光。
紧跟着整整三颗火球就迎面砸在了沃伦的脸上。
轰！轰！轰！ 尽管他本人在“地狱炎息”的作用下拥有了一定程度的火焰抗性，但终究不是像魔鬼那样的完全免疫。
还没等这家伙从烈焰中走出来，三道闪电紧随其后打在了金属盔甲上，发出啪啪啪的清脆响声。
在猛烈电击的作用下，沃伦的身体根本不受控制，只能不停的连连后退。
但左思并没有轻易放过对方，抬手又释放出了储法戒指里存储的五环神术【焰击术】。
瞬间！
一道蕴含着正能量的神圣火焰从天而降，立马就给这邪恶的黑暗卫士从头到脚洗了个澡。
还没等沃伦从连翻的奥术与神术打击中回过神来，漫天的魔法飞弹便在空气中划过一道道优美弧线，宛如狂风骤雨般砸在了他的身上。
砰！砰！砰！砰！砰！ 这其中既有一环的魔法飞弹，也有三环的飞弹风暴，通过储法戒指一股脑释放出去。
尽管魔法飞弹最大的缺点是仅用一个一环魔法【护盾术】就能全部挡下来。
可毕竟跟公羊之戒一样，也都属于“高贵”的力场伤害，而且具有自动追踪能力，几乎没办法通过各种抗性来进行抵消。
最终，在狠狠吃了一顿魔法轰炸后，即便是沃伦也有些扛不住，半跪在地上剧烈的喘息。
他身上那件被暴政之神班恩赐福的全身板甲，早就被打的破破烂烂满是凹痕和烧焦的痕迹。
手中魔剑的“地狱炎息”也减弱了不少，远不像刚才看起来那样凶暴。
不用问也知道，这种能力肯定跟他自身的健康状况或生命力有着密切的联系。
“你……你究竟是谁？”
沃伦似乎恢复了一些理智，再次提出了刚才的问题。
“我叫做索斯，从今以后就是你的主人了。”
说话的功夫，左思趁对方陷入虚弱状态发动选民能力之一的【毒击术】。
当这个法术完成的刹那，始终保持隐身状态的小魔鬼立刻在他的命令下，突然出现在黑暗卫士的背后，并完成了法术生效所必须的前置条件——近距离触摸。
可怕的猛烈毒素当场发作！
原本就身受重伤且处在【痛苦徽记】作用下的沃伦再也支撑不住，大头朝下栽倒在地上。
【毒击术】直接对体质属性造成的伤害，就像是压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草，让他的视线、意识和思维都开始变得无比迟钝、模糊。
好几次想要抓住掉落在旁边的双手大剑，可是却没能将其提起来。
依稀之间，黑暗卫士似乎看到了左思径直走到自己面前，然后掏出一张奇怪的卡牌，从嘴里吐出两个字。
“封印！”
瞬间！
一个强大无比的结界将其从头到脚包裹在内，就连那柄掉落的双手巨剑也不例外。
虽然他试图进行最后的反抗，但无一例外全部失败了。
渐渐地，沃伦整个身体化作一个光球越变越小、越变越小，最后彻底的消失了。
与此同时，左思手中的卡牌也浮现出大量的文字与说明。
【生物牌：人类（受到地狱力量侵蚀）——诅咒黑卫】
【LV6多色卡牌（可升级）】
【卡牌品质：稀有】
【效果：召唤一名叫做沃伦且受到诅咒的黑暗卫士为旅法师服务。
他拥有LV7堕落圣武士/LV10黑暗卫士的职业等级。
但由于陷入癫狂发疯一样屠戮无辜并吞噬受害者的心脏，导致其灵魂受到极为可怕的诅咒，不管是思维还是神智都陷入了狂乱。
使用该卡牌请注意，沃伦有可能在战斗中突然失去理智不再服从命令，而是像疯了一样不受控制的发动无差别屠杀。
除旅法师之外，一切活着的东西都有可能成为他的攻击目标。
如果想要解除诅咒，需要永久性消耗一张等级不低于LV3，具有净化属性的魔法卡牌。
另外，沃伦还掌握着许多高级战斗技巧，诸如“猛力攻击”、“顺劈斩”、“强力顺劈斩”、“战斗反射”、“精通重击”、“精通先攻”、“武器专攻双手剑”等等，并佩戴了大量魔法装备。
包括“暴君之甲”，一件掺杂了少许精金的+3全身板甲，自带永久防护善良，额外提供五点力量属性和十二点魔法抗性。
“钢铁意志头盔”，可以让佩戴者免疫一切魅惑跟心灵控制法术。
“龙靴”，免疫击倒、免疫恐惧、法术抗力加十。
“灵巧腰带”，增加四点敏捷属性。
“+3防护戒指”，提供额外护甲值与物理防御力。
“武器专家手套”，让佩戴者在使用各种武器的时候更加熟练（提高攻击速度、伤害和命中率）。
“恩赐护符”，每天可以施展一次四环神术“神能”。
“炼狱魔剑（受诅咒）”，这是一柄+4双手巨剑，不仅具有大范围群体吸血特性，可以通过杀戮为持有者恢复生命力，暂时提高力量和体质属性。
而且还能通过捕获受害者的灵魂进行献祭，像魔鬼们换取“地狱炎息”的使用权。
在对付善良阵营生物的时候，该武器将相当于+6魔法武器。
这把剑是沃伦专属，无法被其他任何人所使用。
【使用该卡牌需要同时支付五点红色法力值和十点黑色法力值，亦或是十五点通用法力值】
【当召唤出来的诅咒黑卫被杀死后，该卡牌自动进入墓地等待重生，时间为十天】
看完全部说明，左思立刻抿起嘴角笑着评价道：“去掉容易失控的缺点，其他一切都相当完美。看来这张卡牌非常适合在敌人比较多的情况下使用。”
收起手里的卡牌，他立刻走到戴维安的身边，二话不说便开始吟唱咒语，把【治疗致命伤】、【治疗重伤】等强力神术，一个接一个像不要钱一样往上丢。
才半分钟左右，只剩下半口气龙裔骑士就从地上爬了起来。
虽然看起来还有些虚弱，但明显已经没有什么大碍。
被严重烧伤和衰老、枯萎、腐烂的身体，也在正能量的修复下重新焕发生机。
不得不说，费伦大陆的神术真的是效果拔群。
无论受了多么严重的伤，就算脑袋被锤子打碎了，只要把脑浆、眼球什么的东西都塞回去大概拼凑一下，确保没有缺少“零件”，一个五环【死者复活】就能给拉起来继续活蹦乱跳的进行冒险。
至于治疗法术，更是不管什么内伤、外伤，反正直接往身体上丢就完事了。
“你现在感觉如何？”左思盯着戴维安的眼睛问道。
The latter smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's terrible. My body feels like it's about to fall apart. Master, I don't understand why the fire released by Warren can hurt me? Shouldn't I be completely immune to fire damage?"
"No, what Warren used was not ordinary fire, but [Hellfire]. This demonic fire comes from the deepest part of Baator Hell. In addition to the high temperature of fire, it also brings with it an equal amount of foul damage. Your body is constantly aging, withering and rotting under the influence of the foul damage." Zuo Si explained patiently.
This incident also reminded him that he should never take any kind of energy attack lightly.
Because it is difficult to tell with the naked eye whether the flames released by the enemy are ordinary flames, "Hellfire Breath" from Baator Hell, or "Sacred Flame" carrying positive energy.
"Filthy harm? I see!"
An expression of sudden realization appeared on Davian's face.
He had wondered before why the flames gushing out of Warren's sword could hurt him, but now he finally understood.
While the two were talking, the dwarf Ruger, who had just run to the first floor, came back bravely.
When he saw the walls and ground in the passage melted by the "Hellfire Breath", his eyes widened in shock. He looked around vigilantly and asked in an uncertain tone: "What happened just now? Why is the Death Hunter gone?"
"Don't look for him anymore. I've already killed him." Zuo Si gave a straightforward answer.
"What! You killed Warren? Where's his body? This guy's head is worth 30,000 gold coins!"
The thief Korra, who had been lurking in the shadows, couldn't help but jump out immediately.
Looking at this halfling who was less than a meter tall, had twin ponytails and always gave people a very cute, playful and funny feeling, Zuo Si smiled and handed over the holy emblem of Bane, the god of tyranny, and said: "The body was destroyed by magic. But I think this is enough as proof."
"Oh my God! This... this is the holy emblem that Warren wears on his chest! With it, we can collect the reward of 30,000 gold coins!" Kels danced excitedly.
Like all bards, he had a tendency to brag and spend money recklessly.
And he really likes to seduce married women.
So the expenses have always been quite high.
If you can get a share of several thousand gold coins at once, then you can get all those difficult targets that you have been eyeing for a long time.
Just as Kels began to imagine the wonderful scene of "sleeping together in the same quilt", the dwarf Luger immediately interrupted his fantasy: "We can't take this money! Because the three of us didn't contribute anything in the battle, we are not qualified to share the bounty at all."
"No! That's not right! We did contribute! At least we helped kill some spider elves!" the poet argued back.
"Are you sure you killed the spider elf yourself instead of following the ogre zombie to take advantage of it? Okay! Don't embarrass me! You should not have forgotten our rules, right?" The dwarf stared at Kels and questioned.
The poet felt a little guilty after being stared at, and he hung his head and replied, "Of course I remember. I must take not a penny less than what I should take, and not a penny more than what I shouldn't take."
"Very good! It seems you still remember." A satisfied expression appeared on Ruger's face.
Unlike his peers who gradually became cunning and valued money as their life after going out on adventures, he never gave up his bottom line and principles as a dwarf.
"Alas - it seems that those lovely young women will have to wait for me for a while." Kels sighed helplessly.
Korra took the opportunity to tease, "I bet! If things keep going like this, you'll probably die in the maze of underground cities before you die in them. If I remember correctly, the last time you were caught cheating, you jumped from three stories high and almost broke your leg."
“Hahahahaha!”
When the dwarf heard this, he immediately burst into laughter.
"Damn it! How many times have I told you this! It was just an accident!" the poet roared in anger.
Seeing the three people arguing and looking very close, Zuo Si finally gave Bane's holy emblem to the halfling thief and took the initiative to suggest: "I think it's not appropriate for me to take all the bounty. How about this, I'll take 25,000 out of the 30,000 bounty, and the remaining 5,000 will be divided among the three of you. Besides, I've only been in Waterdeep for a short time, and I have no idea where to claim the bounty."
"Are you sure? We didn't help at all just now, and we even ran away at the most dangerous moment." There was a hint of surprise in Ruger's eyes.
Because he had seen countless adventurers fighting against their companions for wealth and treasures, but he had never seen anyone offering money voluntarily.
Zuo Si nodded seriously: "I am very sure. Besides, turning around and running away just now was actually the right choice strictly speaking. Because what Warren used was not ordinary fire, but [Hell Flame Breath], a terrifying flame containing foul evil power. If you hadn't run away, you would all have turned into ashes by now."
Zuo Si was not angry at all about the three people's escape just now.
After all, it is human nature to fear death.
When you find that the enemy is too powerful to be defeated, it is absolutely normal to run away.
And when the half-ling Korra was running away, she didn't forget to drag him along with her.
What's more, the dwarf finally led the team back to take a look at the situation at great risk, which can be said to be the utmost he could do.
Teammates like this are definitely good people among all the adventurers who have gathered here as monsters and demons.
"Damn it! I feel embarrassed when I hear you say that." Ruge's old face turned slightly red.
"We are teammates. Understanding each other is the minimum we must do. By the way, my guard was seriously injured just now. Although he has recovered a lot after treatment, he no longer has the strength to continue fighting. We urgently need to find a safe place to rest."
Zuo Si took the opportunity to ask for camping.
Because after healing the Dragonborn Knight, he had basically used up all of his healing magic.
Although there is a healing wand that can be used at critical moments, resting your spell slots and divine spell slots is the ideal option.
"No problem! We just happen to know of a dwarven temple on the second floor that can provide us with a relatively safe place to rest."
Luger agreed without even thinking about it.
Because it's not just Zuo Si and David who need a rest.
There was also the bard who had used a lot of illusion magic in the previous battle.
There is no other way! Although the power of arcane and divine magic is amazing, a spell can often turn the tide of victory or defeat at a critical moment.
But once it is used up, it can only be restored by sleeping for up to eight hours.
Just like that, the group of five sat there and rested for a few minutes, then quickly got up and continued on their way, walking through the intricate maze on the second floor. Along the way, they inevitably encountered some hunting teams of goblins and dark elves.
These guys have no intention of communicating at all, so a fight is almost inevitable.
The fighting lasted for more than two hours before we finally arrived at a secret door hidden in the crack of the wall.
Because the lane was too narrow, the larger dwarves and Davian could only move forward sideways, bit by bit.
After passing through the narrow passage, an ancient dwarf temple exuding a mysterious atmosphere appeared in front of everyone.
(End of this chapter)
