Chapter 127: Arrive at Lorraine
After all, Hu Bin didn't wait for his end. What he waited for was the scream of the Flame Demon.
Gandalf came behind the Flame Demon at some point and inserted his staff into its chrysanthemum. The Flame Demon was severely injured by the magic blast, and a large amount of burning blood gushed out of the wound on his chest.
The flame demon turned around and swept Gandalf out, but this action also exhausted its last life.
Gandalf also let out his last breath, and then his body turned into dust with the wind and his soul returned to the gods.
"What's this? Is the damage of aphrodisiac enema doubled? Have you renewed your cheats?" Hu Bin couldn't figure it out and wanted to complain or laugh, but it didn't matter anymore. The only thing he could do now was cough out a mouthful of blood.
"Are you just out of the fate of being killed and you will end up with severe injuries?" Hu Bin tried to move himself, but there was no reaction except to aggravate the pain. The water of the moon well was in his hand, but at this time it seemed as heavy as Mount Tai and could not be put into his mouth. Judging from his current state, Hu Bin suspected that even if he could drink the medicine, he would be choked to death. A strong sense of pain and unwillingness to cover the dying Hu Bin.
"Help~ cough~ help." Hu Bin made a faint voice, and then felt a slight sadness. He felt as if he would never die in his life without saying this.
Beside the flame demon's fallen body, Lorraine's figure miraculously appeared there. He rolled and crawled over, drank the moon well water in Hu Bin's hand, and then attached his hand to Hu Bin's chest for rescue.
"It's really good to be alive." Hu Bin looked at Lorraine's relief and knew that his life had been saved. As the nerves that were only tense relaxed, he immediately fell into a coma.
...
It was three days after Hu Bin woke up from the temple. The pain in his body had improved a lot, but due to the violent magic in his body, he will be affected by the negative effect of halving all attributes in the next 5 days.
"Well, you're awake."
Hu Bin slowly looked around, and then he realized that he was lying next to the ancient knowledge tree, and his body was wrapped in the roots and was half buried under the soil.
"What's the situation? Do you want to treat me as fertilizer while others are not prepared?"
"I'm absorbing the energy in your body. You are too reckless and lucky. There are not many people who survived the energy rush."
"It's better than being roasted and added to a luxurious lunch. You really don't have a sense of humor." Hu Bin moved, and the roots around him slowly faded away, and he also walked out of the pit.
"It's really miserable and embarrassing." Looking at the battle summary in the space three days ago, Hu Bin said with a look of fear.
Muladin City suffered heavy losses in the attack of the Flame Demon. Two rapid-fire city defense crossbows and seven ordinary small crossbows were completely damaged. The city tower and the main entrance were completely blown away, and many buildings around the main entrance were affected. Fortunately, they were all unoccupied houses.
The citizens lost 13 people. In order to control the crossbows and catapults, Hu Bin urgently summoned militias, but was killed by the Fire Demon with one move. Fortunately, although the most follower suffered minor or serious injuries, none of them were killed.
Lorraine used her last magic power to put a shield on herself in a critical moment, but she saved her life under the claws of the flame demon, and finally gave birth to the dying Hu Bin. It was a blessing in disgrace.
The Cold Star Iron Crossbow Arrow can no longer be recycled, and Moon Well Water used most of the time when the ancient tree was healing Hu Bin. Hu Bin found that there were only three bottles of stock left in his space ring. Including other consumption and losses, Hu Bin directly lost more than 150,000 gold coins in order to kill the Flame Demon.
"I hope the harvest can be worthy of my losses." Hu Bin then looked at himself and cooperated with Gandalf to kill the Flame Demon, and found that his gains and losses were difficult to estimate.
"No. 000003, participated in the battle to defeat the legendary bio-fire demon. The battle contributed more than 30%. The space was judged to be effective in killing and obtained the hidden task item Fire Demon Heart."
"The Heart of the Flame Demon: The core essence of the Flame Demon creature is
Level: Legend
Attribute: Unknown
Introduction: Losing the soul is still hot.
Additional: You can be given as a quest item to the dwarf Jinli to get rewards."
Hu Bin estimated the strength of the Flame Demon, which probably reached the mid-level level of the master level. He was a legendary creature of 800 years. The most fundamental reason why Hu Bin was able to defeat the Flame Demon was that Gandalf had fought with it for a long time at the beginning. Otherwise, with the flame barrier around the body during the heyday of the Flame Demon, how could he be so easily injured by Hu Bin?
However, no matter what, Hu Bin still played a significant role in the battle to eliminate the Flame Demon. Although he did not kill the Flame Demon himself, he was also recognized by the space. The reward of the Heart of the Flame Demon is probably to gain a lot of favorability from the members of the Ring Protection Team, which will be of great help to Hu Bin's future mission, but Hu Bin was reluctant to hand over this item. Anything with the words "Legend" is all unattainable. The possibility of the dwarf rewarding himself with legendary items is very small, so he has to not try it.
The harvest of defeating the Flame Demon is more than this. Although the Flame Demon's corpse has been damaged by most of the fire, it still leaves a lot of good things. For example, if the Flame Demon Embers are used as rare-level casting materials to assist casting, it can reduce the release conditions of fire-type magic, enhance its power and reduce consumption. A small piece of Flame Demon's skin can make fire-type leather armor, and the Flame Demon's blood can be used directly as fire-type amplification potion and resistance potion after simple dilution and detoxification.
What satisfied Hu Bin the most was that the Flame Demon's weapon fell into his hands.
"Scarred Chain (Whip): One of the fine equipment that the Dark Demon God has equipped for the Flame Demons.
Level: Rare
Attributes: Strength +3, Agility +3
Additional features: Chains can be adjusted freely in the range of 1 meter to 12 meters
Additional skills: throw out the chain and wrap around the enemy, imprison the enemy's actions before breaking free
Additional skill Flame: Use fire energy to activate the chain, so that the flame is attached to the chain, and the fire attribute attack will greatly increase the weapon's attack power, but the holder will receive 1 to 5 points per second burning damage based on the amount of energy input.
Introduction: Bring pain to the enemy and yourself”
As a rare-level weapon, the attributes of the scorching chain are quite excellent. The expansion and contraction characteristics can play unexpected roles in many cases, and the two additional skills can be used together. What satisfies Hu Bin is that if he masters a dual-held weapon, the whip weapon can be used on his left hand as a secondary weapon at the cost of reducing the attack power by 20%.
Hu Bin has learned the melee skills of double short swords in the elves. Although he is not proficient, he also activates the dual-held weapon. He wrapped the equipment around his left hand and felt a warm feeling. Hu Bin tried to shake the chain, but was scratched by the sharp blade. It seems that if he did not go through a certain amount of practice, he would not be able to use this equipment skillfully.
"I don't know how the rest of the Ring Protection Team are doing." Hu Bin thought of his second stage main mission and saw that Aragon's mission to arrive at Luo Ruian had been completed, and as long as he arrives at Luo Ruian, he can complete the entire second stage main mission.
But Hu Bin is not in a hurry to return to Luo Rui'an. Defeating the Flame Demon means that the biggest threat in the Moria mine has disappeared. The orcs are furious because the Flame Demon will not come out to patrol for a while, which is an excellent opportunity. Hu Bin hurriedly arranged for people to repair the city walls and explore the minerals. He had already seen a lot of mitral ore thinking that he was waving.
...
"Hurry up, damn it, is this half-orc crazy?" Hu Bin sat on the shoulder of the stone giant, constantly cursing the army of half-orcs chasing behind him, and used bows and arrows to delay the orcs' pursuit speed, while Ent quickly ran away with big steps.
The story starts two or three days ago. After discovering the ore vein, Hu Bin mobilized a large number of people to mine mitral ore. Even Ent was summoned again and joined the crazy mining work. Unfortunately, the mining movement could not be covered up, and Hu Bin and the others were still discovered by the orc scout. Although Muladin City could resist these orcs for a while, since Hu Bin used all his hands on ore mining, the damaged city wall had not been repaired, which made the orcs quickly break through the outer city. After weighing the pros and cons, Hu Bin decisively opened the initial space again, sent Muladin City and others back, and he and Ent embarked on the way to escape from the mine.
During the process of mining secrets, Ent has gained a lot. Not only has it swallowed many rare companion mines, but it has also deducted a lot of mitral ore, which has improved his strength a lot after losing a large amount of cold star iron. Most importantly, the Heart of the Flame Demon actually has an unusual sense of Ent.
Hu Bin tried to let Ente carry the Fire Demon Heart, but he didn't expect that Ente's puppet core really absorbed the Fire Demon Heart, making Hu Bin cry without tears. That was a legendary item. Although he didn't know the attributes, it would definitely not be too bad. It was a pity that he was swallowed up like this. After Ente swallowed the Fire Demon core, he obtained the ability to transform into a lava giant, but he needed to continuously consume Hu Bin's energy value. This made Hu Bin's energy value that was not enough Alexander once again. He tried to use Ente for a transformation, but he drained himself after three minutes.
However, Ente, who transformed into a lava giant, has greatly improved its strength, which has also made Hu Bin feel no particular frustration after losing the legendary items. Since there is no enemy comparison, he does not know that Ente has improved to that level after transforming, but when he thinks of Ente's whole body covered with flames and lava holding a flaming sword, Hu Bin will sweat for his future enemies.
Mithril ore needs to be refined and the city gate needs to be rebuilt. After handing over these work to Geldan, Hu Bin and Ent left the orcs to chase, successfully escaped from the mine, found the direction of Luo Rui's, and rushed there quickly.
The misty mountains were already thrown far away, while Hu Bin, who was alone, was walking on the road to Luo Rui'an. The stone giant Ente was not slow, and it was not bumpy on his shoulders. Hu Bin was too lazy to rush on his own, so he simply sat on Ente and practiced the use of chain whip skills.
"Master, it's very itchy to do this." After scratching Ent for the Nth time, Hu Bin was protested by Ent.
"Shut up." After scratching himself on the Nth, Ent's protest was declared invalid. Hu Bin was depressed to find that he was completely unacceptable to this weapon, and his proficiency was basically zero.
After changing out of the scarred coat, Hu Bin had to stop practicing, not only because the last piece of his spare coat was left intact, but also because a forest appeared in front of him.
When he was surrounded by a group of elves, Hu Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief and took off his cloak. In the surprised gaze of the elves, Hu Bin jumped off Ent and explained his purpose to the elves patrolling here. He was then taken to Luo Rui'an, the shelter of the water elves.
Luo Ruian was built in the forest, and it was also the ideal living environment for the elves. There were decorations made of tree houses and rattan everywhere, and the whole city seemed elegant and natural, and integrated with the environment. However, compared to Rivendell in the valley, Luo Ruian was not very safe. The location here is very close to the orcs, and it is not easy to defend. It is often attacked by wandering orcs. If the powerful Queen Kellandriel had not been in charge here, she might have been defeated by orcs long ago.
Hu Bin did not immediately see the ruler here, Queen Kelandriel and her husband, but was arranged to rest in a comfortable hut for a night. He found that he was being closely monitored, but did not feel malice. Hu Bin, who was unknown, was very curious about what caused the elves here to monitor him.
The reason was soon revealed. The next morning, Hu Bin met the legendary last elf royal family Queen Kellandriel.
"Child, do you have anything to say?" asked Queen Keillandriel.
"Gandalff and the Flame Demon died together. I'm sorry, my power is too weak to save him." Hu Bin described the battle with the Flame Demon, but it only hid the existence of Muladin City and the entourage. Hu Bin could not explain why there were human subordinates. If the Queen knew about it, something might happen.
"Hey, did Gandalf still not escape this disaster?" Queen Kelantriel sighed.
"So, under your restraint, Gandalf gave the Flame Demon the last blow and died. You were lucky enough to save your life. It took so many days to recover from the injury?" Queen Kelandriel reacted calmly after receiving the bad news of Gandalf's sacrifice, but was a little sad. Instead, she was surprised that Hu Bin could come back alive. She knew the strength of the Flame Demon quite well, and Hu Bin said that she saved her life in its attack.
"Yes, I also recovered so quickly by the well water given by the gods I believe in." Hu Bin always felt that Queen Kelantriel was observing herself because she felt like she was seen through, as if she had discovered something that she had concealed some real situation.
"You have a strong natural breath, and it seems that the god favors you very much. He is such a kind and gentle god." Queen Kelantriel said gently, not caring about the falsehood in Hu Bin's words.
Hu Bin thought of the unruly and arrogant temperament of the goddess Eluen, so he could only hold back the cold sweat and smile and nodded.
"Then I can ask where Aragon and the others are, and I promised them to meet here."
"I didn't expect you to have the courage to face the Fire Demon, Reed, your courage is worthy of praise, but you are too reckless. Don't pay attention to this matter anymore. The Ring Protection Team has set out from here a day ago. King Eron will arrive here soon. You can return to Rivendell with him, or you can take a boat nearby to return to the west." Queen Kelantriel stroked the Ring of Water on his finger.
"The Supreme Lord of the Ring is too dangerous. Whether it is Sauron's pursuit or the temptation to the holder, you can't easily deal with it. Stay here and wait for Eron's arrival. Your mission has been over, right?"
Hu Bin had no other choice. Queen Kelandriel's will was unaware of herself. She put a lot of pressure on Hu Bin, making it difficult for Hu Bin to argue her decision. Hu Bin knew that Queen Kelandriel passed the test of the Supreme Lord of the Ring in the plot and achieved a breakthrough. In front of Hu Bin, she had tried her best to restrain her pressure, but it still caused a considerable shock to Hu Bin.
There is no essential difference between Luo Ryan's life and Rivendell, but the different environments bring Hu Bin a sense of novelty. After waiting for many days, Aragon and his group did not see Gandalf and Hu Bin's reunion. They probably had the worst result and thought they both died. If they had the opportunity to meet again, Hu Bin would give them a surprise.
The progress of the second phase of the main task was updated when Hu Bin arrived at Luo Ruian, while the main task of the third phase was very concise and clear.
"Ensure the final victory of this camp."
"Damn it, I have to find an opportunity to escape. I don't want to go to the Western Pure Land. I will be judged as a evasion of war, and no side mission can be completed." Hu Bin began to look for a chance to escape Luo Rui's in the following days, but Queen Kelantriel's surveillance really made him have no chance, which made Hu Bin become irritated.
However, living in the Water Elf, Hu Bin still found a lot of things that are useful to him. Compared with the Mountain Elf, the Water Elf is easier to understand magic, which makes many mages among the Water Elf, and Queen Kellandriel herself is a powerful mage. Some magic skills Hu Bin learned from the Mountain Elf now seem very rough. After some elf mages learned about it, Hu Bin systematically trained and corrected his magic skills, and finally mastered the skills of charging spells and rapid spell casting.
Needless to say, Hu Bin used it when dealing with water monsters, but after further improvement, the speed and consumption of power accumulation have been reduced. It can be said that Hu Bin greatly improved his output ability without using his tricks.
Quick casting is another very practical magic skill he learned. He prepares some energy in advance to store it in his body. When using magic, he can quickly release these energy. Although it is impossible to cast instantly, it can also reduce the chanting time to a certain extent. The disadvantage is that the energy utilization rate is low and the preparation work in advance is very cumbersome.
With Hu Bin's strength, he can store up to an additional pre-stored energy equivalent to a fireball technique in his body. These energy is released in segments to accelerate casting of two fireball techniques, but Hu Bin has to use double energy to prepare these pre-stored energy. In combat, Hu Bin generally does not use more than two fireball techniques.
