"There are still three more teams. We can't beat them," Cang Hong said after Sala woke up.
"I know, but we can't turn back. We might run into the Church. Didips isn't safe. If we want to leave Scotia, the front is the only way."
"Sala can't continue fighting." Cang Hong's eyes were a little red. Coupled with his bewitching appearance, he looked like a beautiful woman, even more beautiful than Sala.
"Give me half an hour. We'll charge over." Sala held a level-three Magic Core in his hand. There was not a trace of childishness on his face, and his words had a reassuring power.
The four of them sat within the range of the Confusing Fog. A speck of fluorescence shone on their faces, making them look pale green.
When Sala felt that the Magic Strings had recovered by more than half, he distracted himself to check the wound on his waist. The short spear condensed by the monk had broken through three Water Shield in one go. Sala was still fearful.
The Water Shield itself was a level-one spell. After Sala's improvements, its defensive ability was close to the peak of level-two spells. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a level-three spell. The only flaw was that it could not be cast instantly.
The Water Shield had turned into a sphere, so it did not receive any attacks head-on. The short golden spear only slid away after breaking through three of the shields. If Sala's reaction had been any slower, he would have been dead by now. The mutated spell was not the only thing that saved his life. Sala looked at his waist. His belt was damaged, and something inside had blocked the short golden spear.
Sala stuck his finger in through the hole in his belt and pulled out something. It was the ring that Baron Minghui had lost to him. He had sold the Diopside on the ring for 100 gold coins, leaving only a bare gold ring. Sala had kept the ring because it was plated with pure gold. Unrefined gold could be used in magic potions.
Now there was a shallow scratch on the ring. The short golden spear had cut through the gold, but was blocked by the material inside, so it did not penetrate Sala's waist.
Sala's heart skipped a beat. The material of the ring was so strong, even stronger than a magic shield. Shields created by level-two spells were much harder than steel. The short golden spear had broken through three of the shields before slipping away, but it had only scraped off a trace of gold on the surface of the ring.
Something was wrong with the ring!
Sala did not know alchemy or fire magic, but he had his own ways. He took out the crucible from his leather bag and threw the gold ring into it. Then he added the black Magic Fire Potion.
The melting point of gold was very low. The potion emitted orange flames, and the gold slowly liquefied.
The ring was green, and it was made of metal with some mottled spots. A circle of Yin characters appeared on the inside of the ring. It was the Ancient Myers Language. Sala knew every word, but he did not understand it. Simply guessing, it should be an ancient natural magic incantation.
Long ago, most mages believed in the Nature. After the fall of the Divine Nature Temple, the mages of this school also disappeared. If they did, they no longer openly professed their faith.
This magic ring should have belonged to a magician who believed in the Goddess of Nature. After being disguised, it somehow fell into the hands of Baron Ming Hui. Salin had thought that he had been tricked. He did not expect to obtain a magical tool with at least 20,000 years of history after smelting the gold.
"Everyone" No., "t use. by Sala few, they..... . "At least it's worth a lot of money, right?" he thought.
Not disappointed, Salin casually recited the Yin characters on the inside of the ring.
There were twenty-four characters in total, and Salin finished reading them in four seconds. A green light, invisible to the naked eye, appeared on the inside of the ring and seeped into Sala's palm. Sala felt a buzz in his head, and he felt dizzy for a moment.
Seeing that Salin was suddenly in a daze, clutching a tattered ring, his eyes devoid of the usual spirit, Sicar immediately became worried. She poked Sala's ribs with her finger. "Captain, what's wrong?"
"Ah!"
Sala screamed. Cang Hong and Sarah looked at him. Sala blushed and shook his head. "Nothing. I'm checking on my injury."
"How about you drink some of this?" She took out her precious holy water. She bought it with the only silver she had after leaving the village. Sala pushed her hand away. The experience of using holy water to heal his injury was still fresh in his memory. It was supposed to be gentle, but it was stronger than wine and more dangerous than poison.
Seeing Shika pout, Salin smiled. He was happy from the bottom of his heart. This ring turned out to be a spatial equipment.
What made Sala happy was that he could use this spatial equipment. He was only a level-one mage. He couldn't even use ordinary magic tools. He could only activate scrolls or the permanent magic on his robe.
Spatial equipment could only be used by mages above level-five. But the space inside the ring was completely opened to him.
There was a ring-shaped space inside the ring. Although it wasn't big, it made Sala's heart tremble. Because there were three things inside the ring. These three things were, without a doubt, ancient magic tools.
Sala suppressed his excitement and put the ring on his finger. He didn't immediately take out the things inside to check. Cang Hong was still looking at him. Sala was still a little afraid of him.
Humans had gradually lost their faith in the third dynasty. Myers had fallen. The value of this ring was probably not as simple as a spatial equipment. Sala had read a lot of books. He had a real teacher. Only now did he understand how strong Jason was. Ordinary mages couldn't be as rich as Jason, who had countless books and notes.
It was difficult for mages without inheritance to even get a single book. But Sala had read them for years without finishing them. One had to know that he did not use the normal way to read. Instead, he relied on memory magic to memorize the book.
The three items inside the ring were: a green gourd, smaller than a palm. A necklace that looked like it was made of obsidian. But Sala couldn't be sure without taking it out. Because iron rock, black crystal, smoke crystal, and some light crystal could be black.
The third item was a leaf. This leaf was a little withered and yellow. Sala couldn't tell what it was. At the end of the day, most of Salin's knowledge was rote memorization. He hadn't mastered it thoroughly, so he couldn't use it as he pleased.
After discovering the secrets inside the ring, Sala even wanted to give up on exploring the ruins. If he sold any one of the three items inside the ring, it would be enough for him to cultivate for a few years.
But Sala quickly gave up on this idea. If he only offended Count Alphonso, it was understandable. The problem was that he was in too much trouble. He killed a level 1 priest and a monk. Sala had nowhere else to go. He could only try his best to increase his strength.
If he could find suitable magical equipment in the ruins of the Second Dynasty, his life would be a little safer. Just relying on money could no longer give Salin a sense of security. It was better not to sell the items in the ring. Since he could use the ring, the items inside might be able to use them.
When Sala first started cultivating magic, he only wanted to eat his fill and not be bullied.
Now, this wish was getting further and further away. His main goal was to survive and not get caught by the people of the Holy Church.
The magic string recovered quickly. With the level 3 magic core and the white crystal ring that Jason gave him, Sala's recovery speed was much faster than ordinary level 1 mages.
Sarah also sat up. The Recovery Water couldn't completely heal her injuries, but it could at least allow her to move freely. However, she couldn't fight anymore.
"Cang Hong, how far are we from the ruins?" Sala felt that his internal injuries were much better. He stood up and walked to Cang Hong. He activated the Invisible Shield on his mage robe, secretly guarding against it. If Cang Hong turned on him, he would kill this sissy man without hesitation.
"At least 500 kilometers away." Cang Hong's face paled. He wasn't heavily injured. The reason he wasn't in a good state was mostly because of the death of his companion.
"How long until Sarah recovers?" Sala had subconsciously started to take the initiative. Although he was hired, Cang Hong couldn't be above him anymore. He had to listen to Sala. Otherwise, even if Sala walked away, he wouldn't be able to leave this cave.
"Let's ignore the team in front of us. The Vulture Mercenary Group probably already realized that something was wrong. Even if we attack them again, it will be hard to succeed. Let Sicar carry Sarah. We'll pass through the mangrove forest as fast as we can. There are Phobias and Soul Sucking Demons in the mangrove forest. They won't choose to fight us here. "
Cang Hong sucked in a cold breath. The mangrove forest he marked on the map was half submerged in water. It was extremely dangerous inside. They should have taken a detour. Sala immediately saw that it was a shortcut. They had to take the risk to go through it to avoid conflict with the team in front. This young mage had such a strong heart.
Cang Hong himself wanted to give up on exploring the ruins. However, he was afraid that if he gave up, Sala would give up on Sarah.
Seeing Cang Hong's silence, Sala smiled and said to him, "The people we provoked this time are definitely unbeatable. If we don't get anything from the ruins, even if we escape from Scotia, we will be like stray dogs with no chance of success. Do you want to find a village to farm or be a hired thug for a small noble? "
Cang Hong bit his lip and said angrily, "Alright, let's go."
He couldn't accept the life Sala spoke of. This was the tragedy of mercenaries and adventurers. Once they got used to the life in front of them, they could no longer be satisfied with the ordinary life. Most mercenaries and adventurers wanted to save some money before returning to their hometown to live their original lives. However, once an adventurer started, there was no turning back.
