scepter

The Lion's Tail Tree is just a tree that grows in the water, and the branches on it just happen to be a bit like the tail of a creature called a striped lion in Olin.

The liontail tree likes the aquatic environment and is relatively rare, but it doesn't have much meaning to ordinary people, only magicians will use it to make some kind of magic potion.

Compared with the magic crystal, the lion tail tree is not so attractive to swordsmen. For Feizel and others, the magic crystal means a lot of money, even if they already have Earl Marin's Sponsorship, but for an adventure team like theirs whose income is uncertain, no one will be troubled by money.

"Your Excellency Chris, can you let us follow?" Feizel asked cautiously. He knew that his request was too much. After all, in terms of their transaction content, they only had to find Sophia. It means Chris and the others have completed their mission, and the remaining six hundred gold coins have not yet been paid!

Chris was surprisingly easy-talking, but of course his methods were not very gentle. After asking which people they wanted to go down, he raised his staff and threw them into the water one by one, allowing the swordsmen to experience the experience of Fei Ze just now. What happened to you.

But for D'Antonio, no matter it is the magic crystal or the lion's tail tree, they are no longer attractive to him. He just does not give up and wants to search further. Aphra offered to stay on the shore to take care of the elf baby And Earl's daughter.

The elf seemed to want to go into the water, and kept struggling in Aphra's arms, trying to pounce on Yannick. Seeing that his wish could not be fulfilled, he opened his mouth to cry, but was ruthlessly suppressed by the black-clothed mage.The latter had a silence technique, which made the little elf unable to make a sound no matter how wide his mouth was opened, so he could only stare tearfully at the black-clothed mage.

It's a pity that the owner of his favorite embrace didn't seem to notice the elf's grievance at the moment, Yannick was busy comforting Aphra: "Aphra, don't take it to heart, Dantonio is just a mood No, I'm not really blaming you."

"I know." Aphra showed a forced smile, "Thank you, Yannick, you are a good person, and I apologize to you again for Azul...It's a pity that he is no longer here."

Goddess of Light, I'm so glad he's gone.

The priest said something from the bottom of his heart, and then raised a comforting smile: "You see Sophia has been missing for so long, and she has been found. Maybe they are just trapped in another place."

He still wanted to use his eloquence and say a few words of comfort, but he was dragged away by the mage in black.

"Why do you always waste time on insignificant people and things?" asked the black mage.

"This can't be called irrelevant. Aphra is our teammate. I think it is necessary to maintain the stability and harmony of the team. Don't you think that one more mage friend can reduce the risk of my life in the future?" Priest For good reason.

Black-clothed mage: "I don't think so, I'd rather see you wasting your time studying magic."

He has long known that all the ways of the world are scum in front of this teacher.The priest touched his nose, and wisely remained silent.

The process was smoother than they imagined. There were no monsters or beasts guarding the treasures. Pieces of liontail trees grew quietly at the bottom of the lake, next to stretches of magic crystals. Countless fish and algae lived here. Traveling through the silver-blue lake, it is a world of its own.

This is a majestic and magnificent scenery, even Feizel and the others couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The color of the magic crystal is the lowest level of white. Against the background of the lake water, it presents a slight silvery white, which is too beautiful to behold.For Feizel and others, this is enough, they don't need to look for high-grade magic crystals to inlay the staff, so even the lowest-grade magic crystals can be sold for a small sum of money if they gather a few more.

The priest watched the mage in black walk out of the water polo that wrapped them. After searching for a long time in the water, he finally selected a lion's tail tree, and then pointed it at it with his staff a few times. It was cut neatly, and the black-clothed mage chopped seven or eight in one breath before giving up.

During this interval, the priest paid special attention to the fact that D'Antonio did not go with them, he quickly went in another direction, and the lonely figure gradually drifted away in the lake, compared with the happy Feizel Waiting for others, they look more and more depressed.

The group returned to the shore. As soon as the elf baby saw Yannick, he crawled over with hands and feet and grabbed Yannick. It seemed that his hands and feet were not enough, and he even used his mouth. Unfortunately, he didn't have teeth yet, so he could only Aww, he held Yannick's robe corners in his mouth, and looked up at him, his delicate skin was covered with mud, which looked a little funny.

Seeing this standard "want to hug" posture, the corner of the cleanliness priest's mouth twitched, but he still bent down to hug him.

The little elf was happy, he giggled and rubbed on the priest, and rubbed all the mud on it by the way, wrapped his chubby little hands around the priest's neck, looked back, and finally confronted the black-clothed mage.

The elf baby, who was born with a sense of crisis, immediately turned his head to the other side, pretending not to see it.

Black Mage: "..."

Feizel and the others also climbed out of the lake one after another, everyone's faces were full of satisfaction, their magic bags were not as big as the magic bags Chris gave Yannick, but they were enough to hold a lot of magic crystals up.

"Where's D'Antonio?" Afra asked.

Only then did everyone discover that D'Antonio hadn't appeared since he entered the water.

"I just saw him go in another direction in the lake. He should be looking for Lily." Yannick said.

Because of the previous series of accidents, everyone is a bit psychologically shadowed now. When they heard that D'Antonio was missing, they immediately thought of something bad. Aphra turned pale with worry, and she really didn't want to see him again. Anything happened to either partner.

Fortunately, the most worrying thing did not happen after all. God may have heard her prayer. Not long after, the lake not far from the shore was thumped, and D'Antonio emerged from the water and slowly swam over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Fizer yelled, "Hey man, you're worrying us to death!"

D'Antonio didn't respond, he climbed ashore in embarrassment, looking even paler than before.

Because they sympathized with him for losing his lover, no one said anything to his rudeness, but as soon as he left the water, he threw himself forward on the shore, and everyone suddenly found a long bloodstain on his back. Blood is coming out.

Everyone was taken aback, Afra ran over first, trying to help him up, but D'Antonio raised his head and yelled, "Don't come near me!"

Aphra stopped abruptly, looking at him in bewilderment.

D'Antonio panted heavily, with a look of despair in his panic: "I, I just met a living dead person at the bottom of the water, just like that swordsman..."

Everyone immediately understood what he was talking about. After experiencing that terrible scene, the appearance of the swordsman who was infected with the Black Death and died, crawled out of the soil, and festered in everyone's mind.

"I failed to kill him, I could only escape with all my strength, but I was still injured..." D'Antonio looked at Yannick desperately: "Help me..."

So far, no one knows how the Black Death is transmitted, how long is the incubation period, why only light magic can be completely cured, other elemental magic, and even magic potions are not, and some people stay with the Black Death patient Nothing happened for a few months, and some people would get sick and die soon after just getting close. The confusing situation made this terrible disease even more frightening.

The wound on D'Antonio's back was deep, and because he had been soaked in water just now, most of the white mage's robe was soaked in blood. Yannick handed the elf to Aphra, stretched out his hand to uncover his clothes, and found the wound It has started to turn black, and the color of the blood has also changed from deep red to deep purple, which doesn't look very good.

"You'll be fine." Yannick comforted, and began to treat D'Antonio with his not-so-proficient intermediate-level healing techniques.

In fact, he found a gratifying phenomenon. When he used primary healing techniques to heal small wounds for others, he often felt strenuous when he used them too many times. However, under the guidance of Chris, he was able to perceive the magic power system in his body and often After doing meditation and communication exercises, the magic power has obviously increased. At least, when he is helping Dantonio with treatment, the phenomenon of powerlessness has gradually decreased. Even if he still feels tired, it will not be an exaggeration to the point of fainting.

Light magic is indeed the nemesis of the Black Death. After a while, the hideous blackened wound has gradually returned to its original blood red color, and D'Antonio does not look as weak as before.

Yannick withdrew his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead: "My mana can only heal you so far, the wound has not healed completely, but your wound was discovered in time, and it has been purified for you. You only need to rest for more than ten days. Don’t just do too much strenuous exercise and you’ll be cured.”

"Thank you..." D'Antonio whispered wearily.

"Can you recognize the identity of the person who attacked you?" Aphra asked.

D'Antonio knew what she wanted to say, and shook his head: "He's rotted all over his body, but it's not Lily or Azul, maybe it's just someone who also ventured in the dark forest before, all in all," he smiled wryly, " That was the scariest sight I have ever seen, I almost thought I was going to die at the bottom of the lake!"

"Let's leave the forest quickly, it's too dangerous here!" Feizel suggested.

D'Antonio didn't insist on finding Lily anymore. He himself felt that it was an extremely difficult task, and it was impossible for everyone to take the risk with him.

Naturally, the others strongly agreed, but before departure, the group still needed a thorough rest, and the comatose noble lady Sophia also had to change into a clean set of clothes.

Since Aphra had to help take care of the wounded, the elf was temporarily taken over by Yannick. This was the first time he was allowed to enter Yannick and Chris's tent, and it was very likely that he would sleep here for another night. The elf baby was so excited that he crawled around on the soft bedding on the ground, but intentionally or unintentionally, every time he approached the chair where the mage in black was sitting, he turned his head and crawled away tacitly, making Yannick dumbfounded.

"Okay baby, it's time for you to sleep."

Yannick held down the elf baby who was still in the excited stage with one hand.

"Ah! Ah!" The elf baby danced and danced, as if bargaining.

"No, it's not negotiable." To be honest, Yannick didn't understand at all, but he still responded as if something happened, "If you are not obedient, I will let you sleep with Aphra."

"Ah!" The elf pursed her mouth, her eyes filled with tears.

"If you're obedient, I'll consider buying nectar for you when we arrive in La Serena, how about that?" Reasoning with children is the most annoying thing.

"Ahh!" The elf baby tilted his head, looked at him with pure eyes, and the green hair on his head flicked along.

Then, no then.

The elf suddenly fell to the side, but thanks to Yannick's sharp eyes, he quickly supported his head, and behind him came the voice of Chris talking to himself: "The Stunning Spell is the easiest way."

Yannick: "..."
