Night Raven Master

Chapter 92 The Mystery of the Hunter Village

While searching the hunter's village, Art also confirmed doubts one by one.

First of all, at the original location of the warehouses in the hunter village, that is, at the edge of the village, near the wooden wall, there are basements, and Art found several pools of blood in them.

There was a pool of blood mixed with human and animal blood, and there were corpses of old people tied to logs.

When Yate discovered this, there were several parasitic demons coming out of the corpses, causing Yate to have a burst of stomach acid, and he killed these parasitic demons one by one.

Thanks to these experiences, Art's crow mage career level has been improved.

He also improved his skills by the way.

[Passive Raven Mage lv3] → [lv4]

Spell falloff for spellcasting through crows changed from 35% to 30%.

【Capturing crows lv3】→【lv4】

Raven minion cap increased from 10 to 20.

【Dark energy erosion lv1】→【lv2】

The skill damage is increased to 110%, and the healing reduction effect is still 5%.

learning skills

[Group Rage lv1: Greatly and comprehensively strengthen the attribute values ​​of the 5 servant crows, and fall into a weak state after the end. 】

lv1 will not display the value, only the skill value will be displayed at lv2, if Yate remembers correctly, the skill improvement values ​​of group rage and group command are regular, the number is the same, but the damage increase rate is 10% x, one is 15% x, the initial value of berserk should be 200%.

The strengthening range is very large, and the amount of mana consumed, no, a lot of mental power.

【Crow Shady lv0】→【lv1】

[Crow Black Curtain lv1: Summons a toxic mist that can obscure vision, and the effect is affected by the number and quality of crows. 】

Although it looks mediocre, this skill is very important for a crow mage.

Because it is a two-stage skill.

When used by Art, its only effects are vision obscuration and poison.

However, when this spell is cast through a crow minion, it has an additional special effect.

Art turned his head and summoned a crow minion, through which he used the crow shady.

When the striped runes in the spiritual sea lit up, the beak of the crow servant in front of him opened, and a cloud of dark green mist like dust was sprayed out. At the same time, the body of the crow servant in front of him was covered by a black curtain, and his figure Doubled in size, it looked like a huge dark green curtain.

[1. Poison Curtain Crow lv20: When damage is dealt, the damaged enemy has a [-]% chance of being poisoned. When attacked, at the cost of the poison curtain disappearing, the crow servant will appear on the undamaged position on the poison curtain. 】

As a legion combat class, the crow mage's skills are mainly focused on strengthening crows and operating crows to fight. The segmented skills raised the combat power of the crow army to the threshold. However, it was not without improving the user's own skills. In addition to a lot of life-saving skills, there is also the skill [Crow Lord] that can greatly improve one's own attributes.

However, in the game, the main effect of this skill is to enhance the army's ability, and strengthening its own attributes is a secondary attribute.

And now.

Although still pursuing strong lethality, for Yate, who is cautious and insecure, the improvement of his own attributes has changed from secondary to primary.

With a wave of his hand, the dark green curtain in front of him instantly collapsed, revealing the figure of the crow servant himself.

The triggering of the two-stage skill requires the casting of spells, but maintaining this passive skill requires the crow servant itself, which consumes a lot.

Whether it is him or his existing crow servants, the mental power attribute is still too low to maintain.

He misses the auction house in "Extraordinary Medieval Times" now. Whether it is items that increase skill points or attribute items such as increasing the mana limit, as long as you have money, you can get them
Why doesn't this system have any krypton gold function?
Sighing and shaking the unrealistic fantasy out of his head, Art left the basement.

Through the bloody pattern in the basement that was suspected to be a magic circle, Art outlined the patterns in his mind, and finally connected all the positions of the warehouse before and after the change to form a distorted and chaotic pattern.

The weird feeling I noticed before finally surfaced.

A huge magic circle that summons demons.

Although he had noticed the change in the location of the warehouse before, he didn't completely connect these together.

In hindsight, everything was so obvious.

Marshad, whose memory is fuzzy, was devoured by parasitic demons, and his behavior was affected by the parasitic demons in his body.

The air terrace in the middle of the village is one of the core locations of the summoning array. Those prey corpses that made him feel weird should also be parasitized by parasitic demons, and they are used as a source.

When Art came to the drying platform, it was covered with corpses that had been chopped into two pieces. Those prey corpses lying and hanging on the drying platform were also torn from the middle of the body one by one.

Sure enough, compared to other human corpses, these prey corpses have a lot of tiny holes.

A demon priest, demon sorcerer, or fallen person summons a large number of parasitic demon larvae through the summoning array, and hides them in the body of the prey as a cover and as a means of spreading.

After these prey are eaten by humans, the parasitic demons will silently parasitize the human body.

Make this hunter village a den of demons.

Those children and old people were not as fit as adults, so after being parasitized, they were quickly drained of nutrients, and then sent to the blood pool under the warehouse by the man behind the scenes, becoming one of the materials to continue to summon parasitic demons.

And
This place was not intentionally hidden, and the mercenary who went to report to Rose City was also likely to be let go on purpose.

The purpose is to attract more mercenaries.

It's not to avoid detection, but to prevent a few people from leaving. This is a trap.

When I decided to procrastinate and wait for Earl Baixizi to send someone over, the growing strong sense of crisis was correct.

Another circumstance also hints at this point.

That was not long ago, when Art woke everyone up.

The two priests woke up before the two mercenaries.

As mercenaries who are often active in the wild, Toke and Fan Di should be more vigilant than the others, not to mention Ahlius, but Ma Qi and Qiao Xiu are faster than these two, especially Qiao Xiu.

Also, at that time, when the parasitic demon broke out from the bodies of the four of them, it was almost at the same time.

The priests of the Holy See of the Holy Light, protected by the power of the Holy Light, can suppress the parasitic demons in their bodies for a period of time even if they are not aware of them.

Thinking about it now, Ma Qi and Joshua, who arrived at the hunter's village a few hours earlier, had already been parasitized at that time.

Art had checked the traces.

The corpses around the blood pool were several days ago, and there were no new traces. A few days ago, this place should have been abandoned. The man behind the scenes had long since disappeared.

And the powerful existence that appeared at the gate of the hunter's village was not the mastermind here, nor was it a fallen person, but a real high-ranking demon.

Art connected all the clues together and came up with the answer that he was not sure about.

Who is that black hand behind the scenes?He didn't know, but what he could understand was that the other party probably left after knowing the news about Duke Rose because of the incident in Rose City.

If Duke Rose hadn't appeared, even if Viscount Blue Rose had successfully defeated Viscount Baixi at that time, the other party probably wouldn't have left, and would have completely turned this place into a den of demons, and then
Art squinted his eyes - the opponent wanted to use a large number of demons to destroy the Red Rose collar.

This conclusion reminded him of the destruction of Dilud Town.

"An Suxi!"

Art clenched his cane tightly. His first partner after coming to this world, the crow Gloria who he really regarded as a companion, and the people who just joined the Lourdes mercenary group, Lourdes and Hughes are the He died under An Suxi's demonized wolf claws, and he almost died because of it.

The demon warlock who controls a huge pack of demonized wolves!

Anger welled up in his heart, and Art had to take a deep breath. The bloody cold air in the night calmed him down.

"You will definitely pay the price. An Suxi."

Art touched the ring on the little finger of his left hand and said to himself.

Afterwards, Art fell into deep doubts.

Why did that powerful high-ranking demon let himself, Arius, Earl Baixi, Di Lite and others go?

Now he was able to confirm that that powerful demon was stronger than the two Apocalypse professionals, Earl Bassy and Dilit, and much stronger.

Worried that the Duke of Rose or the Duke of Mercury will appear?

This is possible, but Art also has a feeling that the other party is not worried about Duke Rose and his mentor Duke Mercury.

Combining the last sentence of the other party.
Is there something about yourself that makes the other person interested?

What is it?
Gem of Destiny?Yate was the first to think of the gem whose level could not be displayed in the item bar.

Or is it the system?

Or did you see your identity as a time traveler?

Art frowned deeply.

He still can't tell why the other party is interested in him, or what he is interested in, but one thing he can be sure of is:

This "interest" is not an idea of ​​coveting or something. The other party has no intention of snatching anything, at least, not currently.

After unraveling the mystery in front of him, one mystery after another emerged, which made Art feel a little headache.

Immediately, he developed a desire for strength.

Instead of being a chess piece to survive in the game of the strong, he wants to become strong enough to become a chess player, even to the point of overturning the chessboard.

"Strength, strength." Yate smiled wryly, and looked up at the sky. In the dark sky, there were two moons hanging high.
