A+ difficulty task means that it must be performed by an extraordinary person, and even an extraordinary person will encounter life-threatening dangers. There is no difference between an investigation below an extraordinary level and death.
Those who have entered have not yet come out, so they are using their lives to fill the gap.
Griffith fell into complete despair and silence.
It’s not that he never thought that he would face death, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon and so dangerous. The warm and beautiful days with Galadia lasted until yesterday, but he fell into a trap in the blink of an eye.
“Can I refuse this assignment?” Griffith asked.
"No, you can't," General Valens pointed to the heavily armed soldiers in the camp, "We will ensure that every Beyonder who receives the investigation mission will explore as required. I have wasted a lot of time, if you continue
If you ask such a stupid question, I will hang your head on the tip of a gun as a warning to future generations."
Griffith looked around calmly. The soldiers present were staring at him closely, holding down the weapons in their hands.
He slowly put his hand into the package. All the officers and soldiers jumped up, and several even showed their swords.
As long as the general gives an order, the people present will chop him into pieces.
Griffith slowly opened a paper bag, took out the piece of chocolate broken into pieces by Miss Elf, and put a small piece into his mouth.
Good, so bitter...
Galadia, what are you doing?
"I need complete information about Tuyang Reservoir," Griffith said with a smile on his face, even a little sweet, looking at the general, "In addition, I need some supplies, I can pay for them."
"Okay, second-level squad leader, go to the quartermaster." General Valens was disgusted by this smile and waved him away. "You have five hours to prepare and enter the sealed object before dusk."
…
The supplies in this camp obviously exceeded the needs of a large group. Griffith even saw many closely guarded mysterious materials and medicines behind the quartermaster.
He first looked at the map and historical records for a while, and then started thinking.
The Earl's Mansion received, no, he drank the 5 units of potential potion that he bought, and successfully upgraded the ice armor to the third level.
According to the occult knowledge learned in advance, the ability to use potential potion to improve does not need to wait long before trying again. As long as the body does not have a serious reaction, the improvement may be successful.
To upgrade the Ice Armor spell to level 4, you need 15 units of Potential Potion and 1 unit of Refined Psychic Mixture, which are worth more than 10,000 silver francs. These are included in the reward materials for this mission, and the quartermaster should have these things in hand.
“15 units of potency potion and 1 unit of refined psychic flask,” Griffith said to the quartermaster, “I want them now.”
“Do you think I’ll give it to you?” The quartermaster looked at him like a fool.
Griffith nodded confidently:
“Yes.
"You will be happy to accept these 15 pieces of Sequence 9 Extraordinary Characteristics and 1 piece of Sequence 7 Wizard's Extraordinary Characteristics of the Caster Path to use them as collateral for the potions and combined attacks I need. I will compensate with rewards after returning from the mission and get them back.
these extraordinary characteristics.
“Here are 2 pieces of Sequence 9 Extraordinary Characteristics, as a reward for bothering you.”
The quartermaster looked at the table full of gems and crystals, and then at Griffith: "Brother, your request is really difficult..."
“Even if you have to perform a mission, no one knows whether you can come out alive.
“Even if you come out, you may not have completed your mission!
“If I exchange it for you, how can I explain it when I check the account later? Extraordinary characteristics are not finished products.”
The quartermaster talked a lot, and finally quoted a price: "5 pieces of sequence 9 features, I will help you think of a way."
“Two pieces,” Griffith stretched out his hand and took back the shiny features on the table, “If it doesn’t work, forget it, leave.”
He had no intention of further counter-offering, so he got up and walked outside.
“Three yuan, three yuan!” The quartermaster jumped over the table and grabbed him, “Why are you so bad at bargaining!”
…
After taking a lot of potential potions and refining spiritual energy mixture, Griffith felt that he had entered a strange meditative state.
He seemed to be able to touch the flow of illusory spiritual energy, his mind was extremely clear, and he reached out to endless knowledge and possibilities in a joyful and fulfilling experience.
Is this what it's like to learn spells? No wonder spellcasters are so keen on learning.
The promotion direction of Ice Armor has undergone a qualitative change. The fourth-level spell is called Frost Favor, which has two special effects: Streaming Shield and Ice Bite.
The improved spell will form a crystal shield surrounding the target. While providing a full range of frost attribute defense bonuses, whenever the number of attacks accumulated reaches a certain level, the shield will burst, and the splashing ice can
Causes extensive damage to nearby areas.
With the blessing of Ice Bite, Griffith's attacks will become more terrifying. In addition to the original frostbite and deceleration, the extreme cold will have a certain chance of traumatizing the target's mind, causing him to be unable to cast spells or perform abilities for a short period of time.
negative effects.
The duration of the streamer shield is 15 seconds, and the cooling time is 15 seconds. Under the influence of Griffith's "Focus" talent, the cooling time is reduced by 9% to 13.65 seconds.
Had he possessed this ability earlier, Griffith might have found a quiet place on the way and killed the knights and halberdiers who were escorting him, and then fled.
Griffith became cruel, took out his savings and another piece of Sequence 7 characteristics, bought 5 units of potential potions on credit, drank them, and upgraded the ice structure of the Frozen Nova to the third level. When his mission was over, if he came out alive,
, he will raise money to redeem the Sequence 7 characteristics.
Although this attempt was successful, the strong nausea and nausea almost tore his head apart, and he was unable to try to ascend again in a short period of time.
…
A few hours later.
Griffith walked up the silent mountain road. At the end of the deserted road, there was an area of deep and dense darkness. When the afterglow of the setting sun touched the edge of the foothills, the surging darkness swallowed up the light.
Those extraordinary beings who have entered this realm have not returned, and not even a single message has been sent out.
The sergeants holding strong bows were staring at him from behind. Their fingers were resting on the bow strings, not paying attention to the darkness ahead, and they watched Griffith in silence as he walked forward.
Hold me out, rot me outside, don’t let me in!
Griffith mobilized all the blood in his body, gritted his teeth and walked into the dark sealed object.
Nothing happened...
He successfully entered the darkness.
The interior of the sealed object was an ordinary hilly landscape at dusk, and he could see the surrounding scenery clearly without lighting a torch. He immediately checked his body and equipment. His whole body was undamaged, and his equipment was not missing.
The trainee knight turned around in confusion, ready to wave to the soldiers watching him from behind. But as soon as he turned around, he was dumbfounded.
The mountain road we just walked has cut off a cliff more than ten meters wide. On the opposite side of the cliff, there are neither fully armed soldiers nor the forest under the setting sun. The deserted mountain road stretches quietly towards the direction from where it came, with a dark
Shan Lin stared emotionlessly at the trainee knight on the other side of the cliff.
A vaguely identifiable black spherical barrier shrouded the area. White snowflakes fell from overhead and spread on the road ahead. There were a few vague footprints on the snow that were almost covered by snowflakes.
It seems that I can't go back unless I solve this sealed object... Griffith put the short gun on his shoulder and walked towards the center of the Black Territory.
White snow flakes were flying from the sky to the earth. The ground was also covered with a layer of snow.
However, there is a vague sense of disharmony and strangeness.
There was a strange sound under Griffith's feet, which was not like the sound of walking on the snow at all. A snowflake fell on Griffith's gauntlet, breaking into gray-black marks.
Is it ashes? The call of the ancestors?
Griffith was shocked, but quickly calmed down.
The feeling here is completely different from that of Hepu. There is no madness full of mutation and distortion, only the silence and despair of an endless cemetery.
In the suffocating world of ashes, there is a vague lingering familiar fragrance, like the pure and elegant breath coming from the forest.
In the blurry distance, a girl's figure flashed through the ashes.
Griffith hesitated for a moment, gave up the intention of pursuing, and walked forward silently.
The gentle mountain road at your feet meanders along the mountainside. Unidentifiable shadows flicker in the gloomy woods. You can't tell whether they are humans or small animals. The blurred footprints extend forward without any stagnation, and no traces are found along the way.
Traces of combat or spellcasting.
Griffith rounded a rock and found that the woods on the left had disappeared, replaced by a bushy slope and a well-defined village under the slope. A meandering river passed through the village, and lush fields were scattered in an orderly manner.
riverside.
The village spreads out into the distance along the plain below the mountain. In the center of the village, there seems to be a low hill, and a long line of smoke rises from the top of the hill, all the way to the dome of this black field.
It seemed like we had to go there to have a look. Griffith looked around and found that the mountain road at his feet was winding and leading to a small village on the plain.
At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind, accompanied by the rustling of bushes.
Griffith hurriedly raised his short gun and looked in the direction of the sound. A light figure jumped out of the darkness with a "whoosh" and landed steadily next to Griffith, who was caught off guard.
“Hey, good afternoon. It’s like meeting an old friend in a foreign country!”
Galadia was wearing a beautiful light green hunting suit, unarmed, without any armor or enchanted accessories, standing in front of Griffith, staring at him with big eyes.
Chill is spreading, and the frost turns into a slave, immediately materializing the spear and shield. After the initial shock, Griffith dropped the bow and arrow on his body, took a fighting stance, and was ready to tear this false elf apart.
“Slowly!” Galadia shouted, “Spring camping looks like it’s going well!”
"I'm not participating," Griffith replied, "Culala will be responsible for the overall arrangements for the camping. She is very reliable."
"Who are you kidding? Kurala is the most unreliable. She was the first one you laid down when you fought the goblins last time!" Galadia breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly perked up her ears, "Hey! Why?
Kurala came to test me? Why did you blurt out that you are a good-looking girl!"
Hmm, the Galadia in front of me is not a disguise of a mutated creature.
Griffith took back the short gun and handed over the dagger and bow. In the conversation just now, the two of them each told a misleading lie to test whether the other was a derivative of a sealed item or a disguise of a mutated creature.
