Cthulhu Gonfalons
Chapter 33
A few days later, Ryan and his treasure-seeking team arrive in an open space together.
Traces of their last excavation are still there, so they can see the right place without having to determine the position. Ryan didn't need to dig himself in, and his subordinates started digging before Ryan even gave orders. After a while, they dug a deep hole.
When the subordinates saw the magic array at the bottom of the deep hole, they were extremely happy.
Ryan thought it was too early to be happy and ordered them to dodge. Then he asked the magician to check the magic array to see how much it had broken.
“It's not so severe.” After examining it closely, the witch said firmly, “I can fix it, but it may take time.”
They had plenty of time and the items and materials they prepared could last for a month, until now they had used less than a quarter of their supplies.
They decide to stay there, and this is exactly the same place where Gerrard, Palin and Ryan used to camp when they were hunting for treasure.
In hopes of finding treasure and having a bright future, these exhausted people fell asleep.
They had no idea that there was a huge jellyfish floating right above their heads watching them.
Gerrard and Palin were sneering in the cave.
“It seems they are determined,” Gerrard said. “They're too stupid. How can they underestimate us? Very interesting.”
Gerrard began to laugh at the irony of his words; he intended to kill them all.
Former “Bot” Man Nyen is a cruel person. When he was angry, he even dared to fight with soldiers hired by the aristocracy or kill their leaders. He had been wanted for many years, but he managed to arrive at four towns in the northwest. He hid in White Leaf Village and lived peacefully ever since. No one knew how many battles he had gone through before he settled in White Leaf Village.
One needs to realize that there is a high chance that he might be killed by Nyen before he manages to kill Nyen.
Palin said nothing. He sneered while gently touching his beloved magic book. Due to some reason that even he could not understand, his ability to practice spells had changed a lot. Some of his spells could not be practiced anymore; the effects of some spells had been greatly weakened, and some of his spell effects had increased a lot.
There were not many spells in his magic book. Among these spells, he found there were only two powerful spells. The first was Cold Ray, which was a basic level spell. One would practice this spell just for entertainment purposes, moreover, its effects were not very strong. Now, when Palin cast a cold ray spell, the effect was enormous. He even tried to practice his spell, and he found that once Cold Ray was released, the ground would freeze as deep as at least five or six feet. If a human gets hit, he will die instantly.
The other spell was the Ice Dagger. Once a person was hit, he would instantly freeze, but his strength was not that strong. In fact, if Palin stabbed her enemy with greater force with a normal dagger, she might be able to achieve better results. Now that the effect of the spell was intensified, Palin could summon a one-handed sword made of ice. The side edges are very sharp and the entire blade is very strong. One time, he held the handle and cut the fence roughly. The ice sword was still intact, but a small piece cut through the palisade. The surface of the cut on the palisade is very smooth and covered with a layer of ice. When he touched the frost, his entire palm froze and stuck to it. It took quite a long time for the frost on his palm to melt away.
Palin already knew that Gerrard could withstand the effects of magic spells. Even Gerrard would be frozen when he touched the ice, but the average person would probably die when they touched the ice.
Palin has a new ability that surpasses her expectations. Therefore, he had a deeper understanding of Sui Xiong's greatness and grandeur.
Not only does he have the uncanny ability to revive someone, but he can also revive a body that has lost its soul and make it move or talk like a human. Besides, he can even give me such brilliant strength. How amazing is this!
“Maybe ... His Majesty must claim the priesthood of ‘life’ and ‘cold’?”
Sui Xiong knew that it was impossible for him to claim the priesthood of life. He never thought of “Restoration” as an orthodox spell, but he believed that he could definitely claim the icy cold priesthood.
Perhaps Palin is getting stronger with regards to my cold energy.
“So, if I want to be adored, I should try to claim the icy cold priesthood ..”
However, it was not easy to claim the priesthood of the ice cold, and among the Gods in the Northern Wasteland, there was more than one God who claimed this priesthood. For example, the powerful Water God.
Once someone claimed the ice-cold priesthood, he had to deal with the Gods who also claimed this priesthood. These gods were born and raised in the cold desert, and they were basically violent and cruel. If Sui Xiong could not shock them by showing his strength, he would be attacked by all of them together. The Evil God would pounce on him like a wolf and tear him apart and devour him!
Actually, Palin had mentioned this to Sui Xiong before and asked him to be careful. Since the newborn God is not that strong, he will be destroyed and devoured by the other Gods. Then his magic power would be carved between them. This has happened more than once, even a young witch who did not see or know much has heard of this.
“My suggestion is that Your Majesty should join a group of Good Gods. It was true that there were many rules within the group of Good Gods, and one could not do anything he wanted. But the good gods will take care of each other. So, for the new God, joining them would be good for him, ” Palin said.
It is unfortunate that Palin is still a young witch of low rank, and she is inexperienced. Palin thought very hard, but she still failed to find a group of Good Gods suitable for Sui Xiong to join.
After all, Palin's suggestion had greatly inspired Sui Xiong and made him have a clearer understanding of the future. He has decided that when this business is done, he would head south to a very prosperous region of the continent and make contact with the Churches of the Good Lord to see which God he could befriend.
But before this, he must punish Ryan, a criminal who betrayed him!
As for the bandits that came with Ryan, Sui Xiong had decided that he would not kill them, but he would make them suffer a little to teach them a lesson, they will stop making mistakes and become good people.
To this end, he created a spell with which he was determined to make them remember their entire lives!
A few days later, the magician that Ryan was so hopeful of finally succeeding in refining the magic array and successfully opening it. Now anyone can walk through it freely.
“This magic array is rather ancient, it was quite popular about five hundred years ago but no longer.” He was trying to show off his knowledge.
“Because this magic structure is outdated, it is very easy to break. I wonder who discovered this magic array. Judging from the arrays, I can tell that they are quite strong, or even stronger than me. The knowledge of time is the most powerful weapon for magicians who rely on their intelligence rather than their physical strength. One would be completely out of date if their knowledge of the world had not been enhanced! ”
Meanwhile, he took out a gemstone that contained a lot of energy, and activated a magic array.
A pale green light flowed out like water. The light covered the first group of vanguards chosen to enter the cave, and they were moved inside.
What awaited them was an activated hypnotic array set up by Palin.
Looking at the dazzling blue-green light, the bandits felt dizzy and fell asleep before they even looked around them. Only one bandit was able to withstand the power of the hypnotic series, but he was knocked down by Palin with his wand. When he woke up, he must have suffered from a severe headache.
The loss of the front row disturbs the rest of the members. So magicians practice Divination spells to see if they are still alive or not.
“They are still alive,” said the witch when she practiced the spell, “and they seem very healthy .. It seems like there is no danger there, there may be something wrong with her trap.”
Then, the second vanguard group was transported.
They had the same fate as the first group, or worse when they entered the cave. This time Palin intended to use her wand to knock out more people, but she was greatly disappointed to find that none of them could withstand the power of the hypnotic makeup.
The loss of the two vanguard groups made the rest of the bandits worried. Seeing this, both Ryan and the magician knew that they could not force these timid bandits to go on an adventure. So the magician practiced many protection spells and activated a transportation array to send the two of them to the cave.
With a pale green light spreading out, the two entered the cave. Although the power of the hypnosis array was all around them, they had practiced some protection spells, so Palin's weak spells did not have too much effect on them.
Seeing Gerrard and Palin standing there intact and ready to fight, Ryan was shocked. Then he started smiling, and secretly decided to confuse them with his words, so that the witch could have more time to practice the incantation.
Palin immediately jumped up and brandished her wooden stick to smash Ryan's skull, not giving him a chance to speak.
Bang out! A young white magic shield appeared and defended against this attack.
Gerrard did not start the attack or take off his axe, he just watched Ryan and sneered.
Compared to Palin, Gerrard knew more about Sui Xiong's abilities, and his sincere belief was something that the Palin witch could not. As for how to deal with the two, in his view, it would be decided by Sui Xiong. All he needed to do was wait patiently for His Majesty's order and carry it out.
“When you sneak attack us, did you ever think that you would be in this situation?” His laughter resounded in the cave. “What should I call you? Ryan's? Or .. the head of the Pyroxene City Thief Association? ”
