Chapter 633: Hunting plan
"Barrow Flame Demon's flesh and blood essence!"
Asina's eyes were at a loss, she didn't react for a while, how could she be promoted to the holy rank with this thing? Then suddenly he got up and looked at Izt, thinking he was the minion of the abyss.
Nowadays, there are not many people who know demon hunters, and even fewer among giants.
"Athena, don't get me wrong, Izt is a demon hunter." Raistlin explained calmly.
Instead, it was Izt's turn to be surprised. The drow's dark complexion stagnated, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "You know?"
"Haha..." Raistlin gave a noncommittal smile.
Izt's expression became very exciting.
He has lived on the surface for decades, and has been disguised as a ranger to contact people and fight side by side. Only two or three of his closest and reliable friends know that he is a demon hunter. He wanted to wait until he told the plan before explaining the secret to the two of them.
Unexpectedly, Raistlin seemed to have seen it through.
This made Izt secretly startled, wondering whether it was his disguise that went wrong, or Raistlin's perception was far beyond ordinary.
However, Raistlin's strength is as strong as possible, and it will be more helpful to his plan.
"Demon hunter?" Athena was surprised.
The giantess grew up in the Temple of Storms and has read many books, but the giant's collection only mentions a few words about demon hunters, and the giant doesn’t care much about elves, so her knowledge of demon hunters is limited to knowing. , But not in depth.
Izt explained: "Back when I escaped from Morzoberra, I ran into a high elf while fleeing in the dark realm. He saved my life, taught me fighting skills, and guided me to become a demon hunter. Follow the path of faith in Eluna."
"I have been with the teacher for a few years. Without his guidance, I would not have survived in the gloomy area, let alone used it to reach the surface."
"unfortunately...."
The dark elf's mood was depressed, and his eyes showed sadness, "I met the teacher too late, and only got along with him for a few years. He left many old wounds on his body because of hunting demons all the year round, unable to heal, and even his soul was lost. Injured, exhausted his life and passed away."
"I'm sorry." Asina whispered.
Raistlin was expressionless.
"It doesn't matter, the teacher is Eluna's most devout believer. She has protected so many people in her life and killed countless demons. She must have ascended to the goddess' kingdom. Maybe I will have the opportunity to see him again in the future." Izte did not indulge in grief. , But a little fascinated.
What a sentimental elf, Raistlin complained.
"Tell me about your plan."
"it is good."
Izt rallied and said with a serious face: "I have been stuck at the pinnacle of the legend for 20 years. I need the flesh and blood essence of a demon lord to break through the bottleneck. For this reason, I have been searching for seven years before finding a suitable target. The Barlow Flame Demon in Dunmore."
"Dun Morver?"
Athena recalled, "Isn't that in the hinterland of the New World?"
"Ms. Athena didn't remember it wrong." Izte laughed: "If you want to find a demon lord, the easiest place is naturally to enter the abyss. But hunting the demon lord in the abyss is too dangerous, and I dare not alone. Go deep, so I can only look for it on the New World."
Raistlin has opened the map of the New World in the phone interface.
Dunmore is located in the central-southern part of the New World, slightly westward, about one-third of it, separated from Albert Bay by two mountains, the distance between the two is about 3,000 miles.
The overall topography of the New World is northwest-southeast, with a vast frozen wasteland in the north; mountains and plateaus in the west with higher terrain; and the southeast is a plain and fertile river.
During the Third Age, dwarves and elves divided and ruled the New World. It happened that dwarves like to live in high mountains and dangerous peaks. They landed from the west bank, and occupied about one-third of the area from the west coast to the hinterland. The remaining eastern plains are all elves. Territory.
The mountains and plains became the natural dividing line between the two races.
Dunmore is exactly on this dividing line, at the foot of the "Roquechis Mountains" that runs through the entire continent from north to south, where the dwarves once built a city.
In the middle of the Third Age, after the relationship between the two races eased slightly, Dunmore, because of its superior geographical location and being on the main road of transportation, became a transit point for the two races’ trade, and gradually developed into one of the most prosperous cities for dwarves in the New World. First, population and economy can be ranked in the top five.
At the end of the epoch, the abyss invaded.
Dunmore was one of the first cities to be destroyed by the demon army. It was almost completely destroyed by the war, and few residents in the city escaped alive. In the later "Great Earthquake", Dunmore was closer to the epicenter, and the entire city was sunk into the ground in ruins and disappeared into the long river of history.
Today's Dunmore is just a geographical term referring to the once prosperous plateau area.
After the great earthquake, the New World was completely reduced to the domain of demons.
Gates of the abyss stand on the earth, and endless evil energy erupts from the abyss, polluting the earth and covering the sky.
Numerous beasts, spirits, and races mutated after being polluted by evil energy and became monsters.
A magic nest is formed where monsters gather and breed.
The new world is full of magic nests, and the deeper it goes to the hinterland, the greater the number of monsters and the denser they are. They are just vassal slaves of the demon army. The Devil's Nest is centered on the gate of the abyss, forming a fel network covering the new world, with the ultimate goal of transforming the new world into a layer of the abyss.
There are a large number of demons garrisoned around each gate of the abyss.
The higher the level of the gate of the abyss, the more demons it guards, and the stronger it is.
Someone sneaked into Dunmore hundreds of years ago and discovered a large abyss gate, not knowing which level led to the abyss.
This large gate of the abyss is guarded by a demon lord.
The demon lord and his demon army and monsters control a large area near the gate of the abyss, which is equivalent to its territory.
Unsurprisingly, the Balor flame demon Izte selected was the guardian of this abyss gate.
Raistlin shook his head slowly.
"Hunting the demon lord in the new world is not as dangerous as in the abyss, but this is a Balo flame demon, the most powerful demon in purgatory, and the culmination of the evolution of the burning demon. Not only is it powerful, but it also masters many spells. With only the three of us, the risk is too great."
"Moreover," Raistlin said lightly, "You are just leading the way in the dark realm, and it is not worth our risk for you."
Athena also nodded cautiously.
She came out to take risks, but not to find death.
Who hasn't heard of Barlow Flame Demon? Since this terrifying demon appeared in Ellenus, for tens of thousands of years, I don't know how many killings have been made.
They were born on the elemental plane of fire, originally just a kind of elemental creature, that is, Balrog.
Rumor has it that tens of thousands of years ago, the Lord of Darkness took a fancy to the Balrog and transformed them into the first batch of Balo Bale, who captured them into the abyss with unimaginable power, and became one of his most loyal and powerful minions.
Every Balo flame demon possesses the strength of a holy rank. There are several layers of lords in the abyss. The lords in the abyss are the Balo flame demon. The best of them have lived for tens of thousands of years. They are fierce and powerful, stronger than a demigod, and even slightly comparable. A weaker god.
What's more, Balo Flame Demon never acts alone, and there is a huge army of demons around him.
Raistlin glanced at Asina and gave a secret compliment.
She is cooperating with herself in bargaining.
Izt was not in a hurry, and calmly said: "If I succeed in hunting down this Balor flame demon, I will be very sure of being promoted to the holy rank. At that time, no matter what your purpose is to go to the ghost city, I will not only lead the way. And promised to ensure your safety."
Reis wants to move his eyes, which is a good promise.
If what Izt said is true, there is a holy caster in the spirit sucker, and he and Athena really can't handle it. Although you can ask the teacher for help, you can take the risk on your own body, but this is a bad idea and a lot of trouble.
But he did not immediately make a statement.
Izt had no choice but to continue: "I only need the flesh and blood of the Balro Balrog, and its soul can be used as your trophy. However, the souls of the demons I killed will shatter, and some soul fragments will remain. It dissolves with flesh and blood in the corpse, resulting in an incomplete demonic soul ingested."
"I know."
Raistlin nodded and said, thinking in his head.
Demons cannot be killed outside the abyss, and their souls will return to the abyss to resurrect.
The fall of the New World has been more than 3,000 years. Even if there are demon hunters and humans who are constantly clearing the nest and destroying the fel network, it is only a drop in the bucket. Most of the new world is still polluted by the fel and the transformation is completed.
These places are called Fel Wasteland, and only monsters can survive for a long time.
The Fel Wasteland is already part of the abyss and belongs to the inside of the abyss. In the Fel Wasteland, demons can be killed and their souls can be taken in.
If Izt's plan is successful, the soul intake of the Balor Balrog is not a problem.
The problem is that it will become soul fragments.
Soul fragments are an important resource for demon hunters and demon hunters. They are used to increase strength, make alchemy bombs or potions, and can also swallow fragments of demon souls at critical moments, greatly improving combat effectiveness.
He had already seen the vampire lair with Roger before.
This kind of incomplete soul will lose some of its elements, and the soul power contained in it is far inferior to that of the complete demonic soul, so the transcendents generally will not choose to merge, and the value is greatly reduced. Of course, the demon hunter and the demon hunter can also choose not to use the "smashed soul" attack to keep the demon soul intact, but this will increase the difficulty of the battle.
The only thing that has no influence is the wizard of the French Seal School.
The magic seal wizard originally wanted to strip out the secret elements of the demon soul, make the magic seal, and then integrate it into his own soul.
As long as the required secret elements are still in the incomplete demonic soul.
Balo Flame Demon is a demon lord, and its demon soul comes with many powerful elements. The most attractive one is naturally the "Ballow Demon Crown"!
This legendary element is the top-level fire element affinity element, which all fire elementary envoys dream of.
The value of a Balrog Crown Seal is immeasurable.
Raistlin is a mage and cannot be combined with the seal, but this does not affect the use of the Balrog Crown. You can use the element of the Balrog Crown as the main material, arrange the rune array to cast the constant spell, and bless it on the body in the form of constant spell, which will be effective forever.
This is the only way for the mage to get the affinity effect.
Wizards can also use it, and some protection spells can be constant.
The constant affinity effect has two shortcomings compared to the wizard's direct integration of elements. One is that there is always a risk of failure, and the other is that it will be cancelled.
Once the failed material is gone, only one more material can be prepared.
There are two results of removing the constant. If it is suppressed by the anti-magic force field, or the anti-magic ray is hit, it is only temporarily invalid. When it leaves the range of the force field or the spell continues to end, the constant effect will be restored; if it is removed by magic, Splitting, ruby ??reversal of rays, such spells cancel the constant effect, then they can no longer be restored.
The mage does not want the constant effect to be permanently cancelled, there is another way.
The already constant effect will form the corresponding element in the meditation space. It is different from the magic model constructed by the wizard himself, and it can be solidified and stabilized by putting mana into it. Even after the constant effect is cancelled, as long as the cost of permanently losing this part of the mana is paid, the constant can be restored immediately, and no materials are needed.
However, the mana required to solidify the constant effect is very much, at least three times more than the normal construction of a spell model.
The stronger the constant effect, the more mana is consumed.
Every mage's mana is capped, so the gains outweigh the losses.
A few wizards will choose to solidify one or two rare constant effects of materials, no matter how much they can’t bear, only those who have lived for thousands of years will have a lot of solidified constant effects on them.
For the young mage, this is an unsolvable problem that can only be solved later.
But for Raistlin, it's not a problem at all.
Mana is electricity. There are monsters everywhere in the New World, and there are as many as they want. If you can get the Balrog Crown, you immediately fix it on your body, and then directly solidify it.
He has mastered a lot of fire spells, but currently there is only one fire affinity, which is too shabby.
The Flame Demon Crown is bound to win!
After thinking deeply, Raistlin decided to participate in Izt's hunting plan.
He looked at the dark elf and whispered: "The soul fragments of the Balo flame demon belong to me, but if there are only three of us, the risk is still too great."
"Of course there are more than three people in my plan!"
Izt was extremely happy. Raistlin's words meant that he agreed, and quickly said: "I have already agreed with a friend that his strength is no less than mine, and he will also participate in this plan."
"Four people are not enough?" Raistlin shook his head.
"Yes." Izt was very calm, "Entering the fel wasteland, the closer you are to the gate of the abyss, the more serious the pollution will be. Each team must have a teammate who can purify the fel energy and drive away the corruption of the mind, and it is best to pay back. Healing ability."
"My friend knows some healing techniques and can also restrain demons, but he is best at hunting and tracking, so we need to find another person."
"Too many people are not conducive to the implementation of the plan. Five people are just right."
"It is best to be a sun knight, priest or holy swordsman. Druids and shepherds can also be used, but they are not as reassuring as the first three classes."
The dark elf said confidently, showing that he had been thinking about it for a long time.
Raistlin nodded lightly, it was all experience. If there are no healers or teammates to expel and purify the evil energies, the soul hunters and mercenary groups that roam in the New World will certainly not go far. Sooner or later, the evil energy will corrode the mind and body a little bit, and eventually become demons.
To hunt the Balo flame demon, at least the legendary mid-level is eligible to participate, and it is best to be the legendary high-level.
He has just arrived in the New World for a few days, and he doesn't even know a few people. Where can I go to find the sun knights, priests and holy swordsmen above the legendary mid-level?
Unless the Sunwalker who is training spear wing knights is called to the New World.
Atomo, the tauren, is a legendary mid-level Sunwalker and should be able to do the job. If you are not at ease, inform the chief of the Sunstrider Clan Dejiko to take a trip.
But this is the last option.
Raistlin asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"There is one." Izzy headed: "I have secretly observed many strong men in Albert Bay these years, and found that there is a legendary priest who is the best candidate. He is strong and experienced, but his temper is a bit weird and bad. Contact. He left Albert Bay half a month ago and went out to hunt monsters by himself."
"Half a month...it should not be far away." Raislin thought about it. The transcendents of Albert Bay generally only travel on the west coast of the New World, and will not cross the Rockches Mountains as far as they can go.
So he asked: "Do you know where he went?"
