Chapter 823 Selfishness

"What do you mean by that?"

Joan looked at the poet in surprise.

He established a spell link with Holden mainly because it is easier for men to communicate. If it were to establish telepathy with a girl, I don't know what the other party thinks. Anyway, he himself would be a little embarrassed.

This was just a helpless choice, and Joan himself didn't think it was the "best solution".

"Ha! Isn't this obvious? If you establish a telepathic connection with my sister, I'm afraid 'Sister Cai Fan' will not be happy. Conversely, if you choose 'Sister Cai Fan', it will be even worse! My sister can accept this account." Remember it forever, believe it or not?"

Holden didn't dare to criticize his sister's narrow-mindedness and vengeance in person, but secretly, as long as he had the opportunity, he would definitely go all out and complain crazily.

Joan actually didn't really believe that Audrey and Hyrule would really quarrel over such a trivial matter, but he also knew that he didn't understand women's hearts, and Holden was obviously more experienced in this regard.

"According to this, thanks to your presence, I won't be in a dilemma."

Joan took out a scroll from the storage bag and stuffed it into the poet's hand.

"Put away this scroll, you can rely on it to save your life at critical moments."

"What kind of spell is copied here, can I use it?" Holden asked curiously.

"It's the third-ring 'Refuge Cabin'. Bards can also cast this arcane spell. In a critical situation, unfold the scroll, and you, Hyrule, and Audrey can immediately get a safe place."

Holding the scroll, Holden looked at Joan in amazement, speechless for a moment in shock.

Joan gave him this scroll, which was equivalent to further improving the original combat plan, upgrading the "hut tactics" to "two-line hut tactics", which greatly reduced the risk borne by his second group.

With Joan's genius mind, Holden was not surprised to be able to come up with a more perfect tactic than the original plan.

But he didn't understand, since Joan already had a more perfect plan, why didn't he directly propose it in public?

Seeing Holden's thoughts, Joan sighed lightly, and replaced the explanation with a rhetorical question.

"If Arnold and the others know that your second group can also use the 'shelter hut' to avoid risks, they will do their best to help you attract and contain Pelidon?"

Holden opened his mouth, but was finally speechless.

If he was in the first group, he knew that the second group that sneaked into the beast's den would be safe. Even if he had no intention of letting go subjectively, he might still be shaken in the face of tremendous pressure, and he would unconsciously choose to prioritize self-protection , it is difficult to really do your best and go all out.

If members of the first group generally have such a self-preservation mentality, then even if the second group has the insurance of the "Refuge Hut" scroll, they will inevitably be surrounded by a large group of Peridons, and they will be in a dilemma. The longer the time drags on, the more likely it will happen misfortune.

After a long silence, Holden finally spoke.

"Joan! What would you do if my sister put us all in the first group?"

Joan thought for a while, and replied softly: "In that case, I will give this scroll to Angel or Ryan, but I never doubt that Audrey will choose to lead the team into the beast's lair in person."

"Just treat this scroll as my own selfishness." Joan patted Holden on the shoulder, "Take care of your sister and Hyrule, and take care."

Holden nodded solemnly, then turned and walked towards his sister and Hailar.

Joan watched Hyrule and Zion's siblings hide in the dense forest near Peridon's lair, and returned to Arnold's group alone.

At this time, Arnold, Lowry, Angel, and Ryan have all blessed with various protective spells and are ready for battle, waiting for Joan to set up a "shelter cabin".

After consulting the opinions of the four new teammates, Joan cast a spell to create a "shelter hut" about 200 yards from the entrance of the beast's nest.

Arnold and Lowry walked around the hemispherical transparent cover curiously, entering first and then exiting to make sure that coming and going would not be hindered.

Arnold also drew his sword and slashed twice to verify that the force field shield of the hut can indeed withstand attacks from the outside before he can rest assured.

Angor and Ryan can cast this spell themselves, and of course they won't be as uncommon as Arnold and Lowry.

After the "refuge hut" is set up, it cannot be moved, and Joan, the caster, cannot leave the hut.

However, this does not prevent him from participating in the actions of his teammates in an indirect way.

Joan greeted Angor to the hut, and after obtaining the consent of the other party, he also imposed a "visual link" and "secondary spiritual connection" on him, so that he could use Angor's eyes to observe the frontline battle situation and exchange information at any time .

In this way, Joan has an "agent" in the "first group" and "second group", or to use the poet's more vivid expression, he has established two "humanoid liaison stations" at the same time.

If Joan's plan is carried out smoothly, he can switch his perspective to Holden or Angel as he likes, and closely monitor the two-line battlefield inside and outside Peleidon's nest, so as to truly have an overview of the overall situation.

The time was approaching midnight, so everyone stopped delaying and started to act separately according to the plan.

Arnold slung the "Shuangming" greatsword behind his back, holding a large-caliber magic crystal musket in his hand, and walked along the edge of the bush to Pelidon's lair.

Lowry is also carrying a magic crystal rifle, and his favorite gun is also enchanted with the special effect of "flame explosion". The bullets blasted out are like a small fireball, which is more lethal than all the rifles of the same type that Joan has seen. strong.

Angel and Ryan both blessed "Mage Armor", "Shield Technique" and "Heroism" in advance, and followed Arnold and Lowry.

These two young mages held a wand inlaid with a large ruby ​​in their hands.

Rubies are not just decorations, their more important value lies in significantly enhancing the power of the "Evocation" wand.

Both Angor and Ryan's wands have been charged with 10 rounds of energy, and they can release up to 10 "fireballs" in a day.

Compared with the pitifully few third-level spell slots, these two "fireball wands" can undoubtedly help them continue to output powerful firepower on the battlefield!

A group of four walked through the bushes vigilantly, and finally approached the beast's nest.

Arnold turned his head and gestured to his companions to seek cover and prepare for an ambush.

Lowry, Angel, and Ryan quickly hid behind the dense bushes, held their breath, and fixed their eyes on the entrance of the nest.

Arnold opened the storage bag, took out a large bundle of "alchemy bombs" from it, weighed it, and then rounded his arms and threw the bomb towards the entrance of the lair with all his strength.
