Greece brings evildoers.

Chapter 16: All mages have a dream of melee combat
In the early morning, when the sun was rising and the lingering night brought a bit of haziness, a sturdy fir boat passed through the mist on the sea, followed the undulating waves, and ran aground on a beach.

Arrived!

Lorne, who was on the boat, looked up at the outline of a remote island in front of him. He was so excited that he immediately jumped off the deck, pulled up the rope, and tied the boat to a nearby rock. He came to a high place and looked far into the distance.

This small island with an area of ​​only a dozen square kilometers can be seen from a bird's eye view.

The island is relatively remote and narrow, surrounded by jagged and raised rocks. There is almost no vegetation and animals on the island, and there is a vague smell of sulfur.

As a residence, it is indeed a bit shabby and desolate; but as a hunting ground, it is perfect.

Because this is an island that was recently formed by the cooling and accumulation of floating debris after an undersea volcano erupted.

It is not marked on the nautical chart, and naturally it will not be easily disturbed by intruding outsiders.

Moreover, this kind of new volcanic rock island will often automatically disintegrate and sink into the sea soon because it cannot withstand the ravages of waves and undertows. It can be said that even the effort of cleaning up the scene and eliminating traces is saved.

In history, many islands suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly for similar reasons.

After inspecting the secret base he had prepared in advance, Lorne nodded with satisfaction and chose a higher and relatively secluded area along the coast. Then he faced the land ahead and casually sprinkled a handful of wyvern teeth he had collected.

More than a dozen dagger-sized forest white dragon teeth scattered on the ground, and they took root automatically. Like seeds with strong vitality, they crazily absorbed the magic power from the earth and the air, grew rapidly, twisted and deformed, and turned into dragons with a little bit of appearance. The skeletal soldier with similar characteristics stood silently in front of Lorne, waiting for orders.

Dragon Tooth Soldier Spatus is a summoning secret technique widely spread in Greek magic. Because it is made from dragon species, its hardness, flexibility, and magic conductivity are far superior to ordinary skeletons and undead. It is quite A reliable servant.

Lorne's summoning skills are not very sophisticated, but he seems to have amazing talent in the use of dragon tooth soldiers.

Of course, this is probably due to his bloodline.

Legend has it that the hero Cadmus killed the poisonous dragon of Ares while searching for his sister Europa, who was abducted by Zeus. The goddess of wisdom, Athena, told Cadmus to dig up the land and plant the poisonous dragon's teeth in the ground. .

Subsequently, the sown dragon's teeth turned into an army of fully armed warriors in the land. These warriors fought with each other. The last five people who survived were called "Spartos", which means "the sown ones". ”, which is the predecessor of the Dragon Tooth Soldier.

These dragon-tooth soldiers helped Cadmus establish the city described in the oracle of Apollo, and in accordance with the god's order, named it Thebes, the city of Thebes, Lorne's current nominal home.

Therefore, the art of summoning dragon tooth soldiers can be said to be a talent passed down from ancestors.

Thanks to the gift of this bloodline, even with ordinary wyvern teeth and his own gold level, he could barely summon a silver level dragon tooth soldier as a vassal.

Although these servants are not even considered as dishes on the Ocean of Oceanus, they are perfect for being used as labor force.

"Let's get started."

Seeing that more than a dozen dragon tooth soldiers had been formed, Lorne waved his hand and gave instructions.

Immediately, the dozen or so Dragon Tooth Soldiers in front of them were divided into two teams. One team went to the coast and was responsible for transporting large and small bags of materials in the cabin. The other team stayed in place to drive piles and began to build a resting place, defensive position and magic workshop. and other multi-purpose campsites.

These tireless and painstaking laborers completed their task brilliantly in only two or three hours, and then the guards stood by near the camp.

Looking at the sun that had not yet reached its peak, Lorne stretched his muscles, opened a dozen packages of various sizes, and began to comfortably count his previous harvests.

In terms of potions, there are 10 bottles of energy potions, 7 bottles of coagulants, 5 bottles each of paralysis and weakness potions, 6 bottles of lethal poisons... and two cans of Hugh Oatmeal porridge that I don't know how to evaluate...

In terms of materials, there are 32 gems, 18 of which have been used and carved into the magic circle, and 14 of which are useless and are still raw stones.

In addition, there are 12 mature datura grasses, three bottles of peppermint oil for meditation and mosquito repellent, some dragon teeth and dragon scales, as well as some herbs, minerals, dry food, purified water and other sundries that you can carry with you... Finally, there is the equipment. :
Four secret rings, a bronze sword, a gray upper body armor, a bronze hunting bow and two pots of bronze arrows...

Looking at the dazzling array of strategic reserves in front of him, Lorne unconsciously raised his lips, outlining a trace of joy. His mind couldn't help but reflect a certain great witch waking up, looking at the ransacked small treasury, lying on her back. A pitiful figure crying and fussing on the ground.

Yes, these are the gold coins that the dear witch teacher gave him before leaving.

After all, Lorne himself lost almost all the money he had saved while gambling with Hecate.

But the [Sacrifice of the Gods] to be upgraded to a demigod was about to happen again.

After much deliberation, a certain unscrupulous good student simply decided to target Circe.

There is no way, there are only two bosses on the entire Aiyu Island who can drop equipment.

He was definitely unable to defeat Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon, but he was not sure about digging a hole.

In order to benefit the students, I had no choice but to suffer from my own witch teacher.

Think of these as a little bit of mental compensation for being tortured to death by her for so many years.

While making amends for his unscrupulous behavior, Lorne became familiar with the new equipment handed over from Circe.

For weapons, feel is very important.

If the next action makes a mistake because of this, it will be too stupid and too fatal.

After a brief try, Lorne had a general understanding of the several pieces of equipment he had acquired.

The four rings have the effects of protection, offense, concealment, and recovery respectively, and the gemstones embedded on the outside are respectively infused with the magic power of the four elements of water, fire, earth, and air, secretly forming a perfect cycle that allows the user to control Hermes Wen. The control has been greatly increased.

Obviously, this is a complete set of magic equipment with excellent performance and belongs to Circe's collection.

As for the bronze long sword, upper body armor, bronze hunting bow and two pots of bronze arrows, the specific origins of these items cannot be seen. There is still some rust and battle damage on them, and they are obviously quite old.

Obviously, most of them were high-end equipment that fell into the sea after a certain divine war or major conflict, and then was accidentally picked up by Circe and kept as a collection.

But probably because of no use and lack of interest, Circe did not repair them and just let them eat dust in the warehouse.

To this day, the secret text for amplifying the surface of the weapon, as well as the spirituality within it, have all been lost.

But even so, these things still have the quality of gold and can give full play to Lorne's own fighting power.

Such a wasteful waste of natural resources made Lorne quite regretful.

After all, all mages have a dream of close combat, especially a less serious wizard like him.

But as long as it works, we’ll talk about the rest later.

The bronze sword in Lorne's hand was swung down, and the blade made a low whine that cut through the air. His faint eyes looked into the deep and vast Oceanus Sea.

Everything is ready and the hunt is about to begin!
　There is one more update, which will be added at noon.
