Chapter 79 The Adventures of the Magic Coin
In addition to the battle in Batol, players have even expanded to other areas of the Anzeta Wasteland. Some players have already planned to go to the headquarters of the Burning Embers Nest, the most dangerous and richest place in the eyes of adventurers - the Dragon Valley.
During these five years, a simple road has been paved between the Dragon Valley and the city of Batto, which the goblins call the "Bumpy Road" to facilitate the monster followers to provide support.
And now on this bumpy road, a group of players are moving forward.
They all came from the famous magic guild [Magic Coin] in the future, but at that time it was just an unknown small guild with only more than 20 members. The president of the guild was [Charlotte], one of the few magic players who persisted at that time.
In this version where magic scrolls cannot be obtained, the mage has become a "magic grandson" who knows nothing because of the ridiculous meter reading requirement, while the warlock has taken up the banner of the magic profession and is called the "real wizard."
Even within the [Magic Coin] Guild, there are only a few who stick to the mage profession, and most of them have switched to warlocks.
At this time, there were five players who came here, all of whom were guild elites who had reached level three.
"President, are you sure you can get the spell here?"
The female player with the id "Flying Witch" asked.
She is a wild warlock. Although it is a warlock class, it is known as one of the sub-classes that is most likely to pit teammates - the innate magic of a wild warlock comes from the wild chaotic power lurking beneath the created order, and casting spells often releases untamed surges of magic.
Charlotte looked at the crude parchment map in her hand, pointed at the crooked skull icon and said:
"This is it, the Great Tower of the Wise."
"I spent eight gold coins to ask the ogre overseer to eat up the tavern's inventory to get this map. It shouldn't be wrong. They look pretty honest to me."
Vice President Mingyue was a little uneasy. "But I heard those ogres say after they got drunk that their boss was also an ogre. Are you sure these big ogres can be mages?"
Charlotte thought of the ugly sight of the ogres lying on the ground drinking and shouting "Meat! Meat! Meat!" The corners of her mouth twitched slightly:
"It should be possible."
He was not sure about it, and he was prepared for a fruitless trip to the Dragon Valley. After all, it was easy for the entire guild to collect 8 gold coins.
"We have to at least try."
"It is our duty to restore the glory of mages!"
There was determination in Charlotte's eyes; he was the last hope for the mage players.
"President!"
Mingyue was particularly moved.
【Magic Coin】 is a guild composed of mage enthusiasts. Although most of them have changed their jobs to warlocks, they still have faith in mages in their hearts.
Soon, the group of [Magic Coin] saw the outline of the Rock Fortress in the distance.
"Fuck, it's this big?"
"This fortress is quite spectacular."
Dragons roared in the sky, hobgoblins patrolled back and forth outside the city walls, and fierce roars came from the fortress - that was the army of Burning Ember's training.
After observing for a while, Charlotte concluded: "This fortress should not be accessible from the front. The authorities will not let us obtain the spell so easily."
"I think they discriminate against mage players."
"Yes, I think so too."
The flying witch was itching with hatred.
At this time, Mingyue keenly noticed that there was a huge rock on the hillside not far from the fortress. There seemed to be a passage behind it, so he pointed in that direction:
"Captain, we can hide there and sneak in."
"good idea."
Charlotte appreciated.
So, the five [Magic Coin] players sneaked behind the giant rock.
However, they did not know that they had made the same mistake that all adventurers would make. This rock had witnessed the deaths of countless adventurers, and they would be the next case.
"Kacha."
As soon as Mingyue stepped in, she felt something was wrong.
"Wait! Don't come over here!"
The complex and sophisticated magic circle under his feet suddenly lit up, a surging wave of magic power rose up, and Mingyue's eyes suddenly reflected flames. "Oh my god."
"boom--"
Along with the sound of flames burning the air, Mingyue was engulfed by the flames of the exploding guardian inscription rune, turning into a charred corpse, giving away his precious first blood.
Although Charlotte did not step into the range of the magic circle, his face was still blackened.
"There's an ambush, everyone be careful!"
"Mingyue is dead, we can't lose any more in battle."
He noticed that in addition to the guard inscription, there was another spell in the corner, but he couldn't see what it did.
However, the hobgoblin guards on the Rock Fortress had already noticed the movement here. They approached with ease and were even chatting, "Another stupid adventurer fell into the trap," "Guess how many there are," and "How many will die this time."
Charlotte stared at the approaching hobgoblin guards and said to everyone, "No, we have to leave, otherwise we might be wiped out here."
"Everyone, go through this passage. Someone give me some mage armor. I don't have the ability to protect myself for the time being." Charlotte commanded.
The flying witch quickly said, "Oh, okay."
"Mage Armor!"
A magical aura appeared on her hand, and she reached out to touch Charlotte's body.
However, the surrounding magical power suddenly became chaotic and surged wildly.
[Your spellcasting creates waves of untamed magic, creating unknown magical effects!]
"boom!"
Just heard an explosion.
Charlotte was unexpectedly turned into a docile and well-behaved sheep by a random spell cast by the Wild Magic Wave effect.
"Mea~~"
The sheep that Charlotte turned into made a sound, and even through the sound, one could hear that he wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Oh, sorry, I triggered the wild wave..."
The flying witch quickly bowed to the sheep and apologized, but when she saw how cute the president looked, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Forget it, let's retreat first."
"If we continue to stay here, we will suffer greater losses."
The team member next to him reminded.
"Mea~~"
Charlotte uttered a sheepish bleat of approval.
So the Flying Witch and the remaining two team members hurriedly entered the passage, ready to escape along the passage.
"Why are there still more!"
"what is this?"
However, one of them triggered the spider web spell and was caught by the sticky spider web that was ejected.
"Gilgurgle——"
Huge rocks rolled in from the end of the passage, ruthlessly crushing the trapped people.
"What..."
Charlotte, who had turned into a sheep, uttered a desperate cry.
"The authorities must be targeting us. They are so evil. How could there be a trap here——"
He roared silently in his heart.
