Chapter 162 Why Are You Here?
Grez looked at Lan Wu and the other man with complicated eyes.
He knew that this was the only way to resolve the disaster of Lu Gaoyin. He wanted to go into the sewer together to break the unknown seal. But he knew that this was impossible.
The Mercenary Union gathered almost all the mercenaries and two complete city guards, as well as scattered guards who fled here with the crowd. Whether it was mercenaries or guards, there were irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides. Although it was not put on the surface, he knew that his mercenaries were because the top leaders of Lu Gaoyin planned to dissolve the mercenary union and merge them into the city guards not long ago. This made the mercenaries feel ashamed. The guards relied on themselves as the direct team of His Majesty Jie Haiyin, and even the professionals only maintained superficial respect.
You don't like me, and I don't like you.
At present, only he has the prestige to control these two forces. If he gave up this place, he dared not imagine when the contradiction between the two sides would be triggered, and the Dark Crow would eventually reap the benefits.
He couldn't afford the gamble.
Looking at Lan Wu and the other two choosing from the only seven amulets with Qi-gathering skills, Grez sighed and retracted his gaze. He knew that his current task was to lead the people to hold on until the two young men broke the seal and prevent Lugaoin from falling completely.
Lan Wu and the other two quickly chose the amulets. Gross was very self-aware. He did not choose the Qi-gathering skills of other professions, but just chose the amulet with a level 15 fireball according to his habit. Lan Wu thought about it for a long time before making a decision.
He was proficient in all professions and was an old bird, familiar with the skills of all professions. The Qi-gathering skills attached to these seven amulets were not high, and they were all attack skills that could only be learned below level 18. After thinking it over and over again, he finally chose the three skills of the usual bear transformation, the mage's ice skill Frost Nova, and the necromancer's bone magic bone spear. The other amulets were left to Grez.
With the current chaos in Lugaoin, it is very likely that some professionals will escape here to avoid the killing of the Dark Crow. With one more professional who can use skills, this place will be safer.
After getting ready, Lan Wu and his partner came to the sewer entrance in the backyard of the Mercenary Union and entered the sewer. This was once an important target for the Dark Ravens' raid. The undead creatures that once roamed nearby have turned into piles of bones. This saved the two of them a lot of trouble.
Opening the magic map, Lan Wu and his partner followed the original path and headed straight to the entrance of the second floor of the sewer. This is the top sewer. There are at least a dozen entrances to the ground. If you put yourself in their shoes, the seal that sealed the magic power of the entire city could not be placed in such an unsafe place.
Lan Wu was shocked when he successfully arrived at the entrance of the second floor of the sewer. He saw a small figure squatting at the entrance. He was too familiar with this hesitant little figure.
Irene.
Lan Wu was speechless. He remembered that Flora and Irene were deliberately sent away for this operation. An impulsive person who only wanted to avenge his mother was not suitable for participating in the raid on the Dark Ravens. The other one was a former member of the Dark Raven, and it was neither reasonable nor moral to put this little girl in a dilemma. So he sent the two little girls to the palace under the pretext of waiting for Jerhain's reply. He secretly led people to start the raid. Unexpectedly, once he withdrew to Lugain, the Dark Raven teamed up with the Dark Wanderer to play so big that he lost the news of the two little girls. As a result, he ran into one of them here.
At this time, Irene was looking down at the second floor of the sewer, very hesitant. Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her, and she immediately turned around alertly and took precautions. When she saw that it was Lan Wu, her expression relaxed, smiled shyly, and stood up.
"Why are you here? Where's Flora?" Lan Wu rubbed Irene's little head.
"The palace." Irene rubbed like a kitten, and liked Lan Wu's intimate behavior very much.
Lan Wu was helpless. If I had known that Irene would break into the sewer to meet him, I should have prepared an extra amulet. With one more professional joining, the action would be smoother.
In desperation, he did not let Irene go back to the Mercenary Guild alone to get an amulet. After a few careful instructions, the three of them entered the second floor of the sewer.
There are still traces of the battle between the professional Ravens and the Sand Knights. Lan Wu didn't know why the Dark Wanderer didn't control these Sand Knights to avoid fighting with the Ravens. But he was secretly glad that this scene did not happen.
After all, the three of them only had the Qi Gathering Skill Equipment at this time, and it was not easy to deal with the Sand Knights.
The second floor of the sewer was still very clean. The three of them arrived at the entrance of the third floor of the sewer without encountering any obstacles. Here, Lan Wu became more vigilant.
The most likely possibility is that they are on the third floor of the sewer. The greater possibility is that they will run into Ende and other Raven high-level people just after going down.
After repeated reminders to be careful, Lan Wu was the first to walk up the stairs. As soon as he went down to the third floor, he immediately sent out a Frost Nova. The pale cold air emerged from under his feet and spread to the entire room at the entrance in an instant.
Frost Nova is a skill that can be learned by the sixth-level ice mage. The damage is poor, but it can guard against lurking enemies within a 360-degree range. This low-level skill has a freezing effect unique to the ice system, which can effectively reduce the speed of the opponent. Unfortunately, the damage is too low and the range is not large, resulting in this skill being only a passing skill.
After ruling out the possible enemies hiding here, Lan Wu called Gross and the other two down. Then the three began to conduct a detailed investigation of the third floor of the sewer.
】
One by one, the forked roads left images on the magic map. Lan Wu and the other two quickly checked half of the third floor of the sewer. Except for the occasional times when they scared themselves, everything was normal. No members of the Dark Crow or the Dark Wanderer were encountered.
However, Lan Wu knew that the next thing would be the most troublesome thing.
Judging from the seal covering the entire city of Lugaoin, this unknown seal is very likely to be placed in the middle of the third floor of the sewer. Therefore, he planned to avoid the most likely central area from the beginning and eliminate the enemies that might be hidden in the surrounding areas first.
Obviously, there must be a Dark Wanderer at the seal.
Just one Dark Wanderer is a headache. If the Dark Crow high-level people like Ende come in, the three of them might really fall here. But he also knows the advantages of the three of them.
Destroy the seal.
This is the only goal of this trip. No matter how many opponents there are, or how many strong people there are, it is nothing to the three of them. All the three of them need to do is find the seal and then destroy it.
Eliminate the existence of the Dark Crow first, and then create a chance of victory with an absolute advantage in numbers. There is only one Dark Wanderer. Two people entangled it, and the remaining person took the opportunity to destroy the seal.
It is going very smoothly now. No dark crows have been found so far. After circling the central area, the three of them rushed to the central area with confidence.
The sewer was extremely dark, and occasionally a cool breeze blew, making a humming sound, which was very creepy. The three of them advanced cautiously step by step, gradually approaching the central area. Unexpectedly, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out from the dark corner and blocked the three of them.
Lan Wu reacted quickly and sent out Frost Nova at the first time, trying to freeze the comer and seize the initiative. Frost Nova had just been sent out, and the dark shadow on the opposite side reported his identity in a low voice.
"It's me, Olvera."
"Why are you here too?" Lan Wu was speechless. Irene was in the Lugain Palace, so it was understandable for her to enter the sewer. But didn't Olvera go to recapture the Dark Crow Training Camp?
"They all withdrew." Olvera looked a little frustrated. I thought I could enter the training camp before the Dark Crows issued the order to hide. I didn't expect to see only a mess when I got there. It was obvious that they evacuated in a hurry.
The raid was declared a complete failure.
Lan Wu was speechless. There is a difference between having one more Dark Wanderer and one less Dark Wanderer. If there were no Dark Wanderers, maybe we could at least take down the training camp, the foundation of the Dark Crows. Now it's good. The Dark Crows have reopened the battlefield, turned from darkness to light, and also won a powerful ally.
"I found some clues and learned that Ende and his men came to Lu Gaoyin." Olvera said in a low voice: "I followed the little clues they left behind and finally caught up with Lu Gaoyin. Later, I saw the Dark Crows rushing out of the sewer to create chaos, so I sneaked in here. Then I found that you guys were here too."
"Did you find anything?" Lan Wu calmed down and asked immediately.
"No, I lost my magic power and dared not go deep rashly." Olvera's answer was disappointing.
Lan Wu thought about it and simply gave the Frost Nova Amulet to Olvera and the Bone Spear Amulet to Irene. Olvera is experienced, and the Frost Nova control skill is just right for him. With his experience, it should be no problem to seize the fleeting opportunity to control the Dark Wanderer. Irene is a trap assassin. Before she reached level 12 and learned the Flame Resurrection Trap, she had been using Flame Blast. Although this skill is completely different from the Bone Spear's running trajectory, it is ultimately based on accuracy. It is a reasonable choice to leave the Bone Spear to her.
Finally, the Bear Man Transformation Amulet was left to him. The extremely high health value can make full use of the life-enhancing effect obtained after the Bear Man transforms. This is an excellent meat shield. With the help of healing potions, it should be no problem to withstand all attacks.
After rearranging, the four of them headed straight to the most dangerous central area. Along the way, the four of them were cautious and fortunately did not encounter an ambush, and successfully arrived near the room in the central area.
"You are finally here. The Divine Grace."
Suddenly, a light laugh floated in the dimness. The four of them immediately became alert and prepared for battle. Not long after, the slightly hoarse voice appeared again.
"Come here. I'm in the room in front of you."
"Dark Wanderer." Lan Wu's heart sank. This seemed to be a situation deliberately created by the Dark Wanderer. But he couldn't figure out why the Dark Wanderer deliberately sent Ende and others away and stayed alone to guard the seal. Isn't he worried that someone would break in and destroy the seal?
"Let's go."
Lan Wu couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about him. He immediately turned on the bear man transformation and walked in front. As a meat shield, he naturally had to block the possible sneak attack of the Dark Wanderer.
Everything was normal.
Walking into the room, Lan Wu was shocked. Isn't the staff in the center of the magic circle covering almost the entire room the Staff of Horadric?
