Chapter 207 Magic Coin
Inside the Midnight Demon Tower.
It was still the cold, bloodstained metal wall, the dark and deep corridor, and the seven humans sneaking along the wall.
——Those are the members of the [Magic Coin] Guild headed by Charlotte.
They are exploring along the route in Mantou's video.
Charlotte held in his hand the map that he had paid for to find Mantou, and stared at the stick-drawn patterns on it with a gloomy expression.
"Is this kid Mantou trying to rip me off? He wants fifteen gold coins for this thing?"
[Magic Coin] He opened a "magic office" in North Wind Castle. He did not have the arrogance of a spellcaster at all. He relied on his magical abilities to accept all kinds of commissions, big and small. From using the art of talking with the dead to tracking down criminals thousands of miles away and getting rid of monsters that were wreaking havoc on a neighborhood, to setting off magical fireworks to celebrate weddings and using prophecy spells to find a lost cat for a neighbor. He made a lot of money.
The guild leader, Charlotte, had long been known as a "sucker", but he himself didn't know it. It was said that even if the magic scroll was sold at three times the market price, the generous guild leader would buy it without hesitation, which caused everyone to raise the price of magic coins when purchasing them.
Meeting a sucker, Mantou naturally took a share of the profits. He sold the hardcover map he had drawn himself to Charlotte at the "low price" of fifteen gold coins, and then happily ran off to pay off his debt - in fact, it only took him five minutes to draw the map.
Vice President Mingyue looked at the rather abstract map and said after a moment's silence:
"This is it, the Death Corridor mentioned in the forum. It is said that when an intruder is detected here, a dragon-like monster will be released. Many people have died here."
Charlotte frowned and said, "The difficulty setting of this dungeon is too high. There are piles of dragon monsters and absurdly high-level wizard bosses. It doesn't seem like it's meant for us beta testers. We just need to try our best to get the rewards this time. It doesn't matter if we die once or twice."
The "Flying Witch" poked her head out from the side and said confidently:
"President, believe in the power of unity, we will definitely be able to defeat the evil wizard!"
"."
After hearing what the flying witch said, Charlotte was not relieved but became uneasy.
This guild member of his, the "Flying Witch", had a legendary experience and was well-known in the forums, but she was not famous for her skills but for her luck. The difficulty of this dungeon was too high, so he only brought members who had reached level 4, and the Flying Witch was one of them.
As for how she reached level 4?
In the Battle of Trier, she triggered a wave of wild magic, summoned three fireballs, and directly evaporated an army of hundreds of people on the spot, making her famous under the name of "Dog-Luck Warrior".
In the Frost Giant battle, she once again triggered a wave of wild magic, instantly releasing chain lightning that turned five Frost Giants into charcoal. After this battle, she became the player with the most experience in the guild. The experience she gained from this lightning was even enough for her to reach level six.
Since her record is so brilliant, why doesn't Charlotte trust her?
There is no other reason, it’s just because Wild Warlock is a pure gambling profession.
Most of the effects in the Wild Magic Wave are negative, and many of them can even wipe out teammates in one wave. The most popular related video on the forum is "The Charming Moment of the Wild Warlock", in which the effect triggered by the Wild Warlock is to cast a fireball under his feet, and single-handedly destroy the boss battle that he had safely passed into a dangerous situation, with teammates wailing.
It is said that a wizard will be poor for three generations, and wildness will ruin his life.
Charlotte originally didn't want to bring the Flying Witch along, but unable to resist her repeated requests and the lack of immediate combat power in the team, she had to bite the bullet and let her go into the dungeon with her.
He pondered for a long time before patting her shoulder and saying earnestly:
"Just stay steady and try not to waste time."
"Yes, President."
The flying witch nodded obediently. Mingyue beside her gently reminded, "President, I have activated [Owl's Wisdom], which can detect the slightest movement. We have to speed up, because those monsters are coming."
Charlotte ordered, "Don't waste time here, let's just turn invisible, Feng Ling?"
The female player with the ID "Wind Chime" took out the invisibility potion she had prepared long ago and distributed it to everyone. She is a player of [Magic Coin] who specializes in magic medicine making and can be called the god in charge of logistics in the guild.
"Ow—"
With a loud bang, the iron cage at the end of the corridor slowly opened.
Countless hideous dragon-like monsters rushed out from the darkness impatiently.
There were gnolls, centaurs, goblins, lizardmen and even monsters transformed from humans mixed together. Their cloudy, scarlet eyes were full of madness, their bodies were covered with sparse scales, and they were covered with sticky and smelly liquids. The air was filled with bloody factors.
As incomplete dragon vein creatures, their sense of smell is extremely sensitive.
The monsters sniffed the air and discovered the location of the mage players, and rushed towards them.
"No, they found us!"
"We can only charge forward bravely!"
Charlotte gritted her teeth and swung her staff, and a fiery spell glowed.
【Aganassa Fire Breathing Technique】
A linear raging fire spread from the direction of his staff, causing a large number of monsters within the path to burn fiercely. As descendants of the white dragon, they did not have much resistance to fire.
Feng Yun and others also cast spells one after another, and the dazzling magical lights shone together.
A series of spells including scorching rays, pathogenic rays, dragon's breath, flaming orbs, Ma Youfu's acid arrows, etc. were cast at the monsters. Mist spell obscured their vision and Grease spell made their movements slow and inconvenient. Mage players were still very powerful in the battle.
But there are too many monsters.
Even if the monster in front is hit by fire or slips due to the grease spell, the monsters behind will step on the bodies of their "companions" and rush up without hesitation, like an endless tide.
"President, we can't hold on any longer! There are just too many monsters!"
Fengyun knocked out the dragon-transformed dire wolf that was rushing towards him with his staff and shouted to Charlotte.
Charlotte frowned, they didn't get anything this time, and they bought a lot of things in vain, and didn't even get their capital back. Could it be that they were going to die halfway?
"President, let me do it!"
With a powerful roar, the flying witch seemed to have become a different person and stood in front of Charlotte.
At this moment, she seemed like a hero who saved the entire guild.
A surging and frantic wave of magic surged in front of her, making even the monsters tremble in fear. In fact, she had no idea what magic she could use. Her main skill was to draw cards randomly and cast spells at will.
