EBE Chapter 70 The Witch's Hut
Chapter 70 The Witch's Hut
Inside the dragon's lair, there is only one red dragon, and the price of the red dragon is 2500 gold coins, plus 100 units of sulfur.
Fortunately.
However, please note that this is only the price for one. If you want to hoard a large quantity, the cost will be considerable.
Moreover, Lin Mo ultimately intends to upgrade the Crimson Dragon to a Black Dragon, and the Black Dragon is much more expensive.
Regardless, being able to build a level 7 troop recruitment building in the wild near the dungeon territory is definitely only beneficial to him.
When a gigantic red dragon became the unit he controlled, Lin Mo took a deep breath, feeling triumphant and delighted—it was a really great feeling.
Even if there is only one, it can be used in conjunction with a large number of skeletons to create different tactics.
With this red dragon, Lin Mo could do even more things.
Of course, he also had another option: to leave the Crimson Dragon in the dungeon territory to guard the city. When the 'Dragon's Lair' in the territory was upgraded, it could be directly upgraded into a Black Dragon. At that time, he should have four or five Black Dragons at his disposal.
A complete upgrade in an instant!
However, Lin Mo believed that as long as he was careful, he wouldn't let the red dragon die, even if he was with it.
Emerging from the dragon's lair, Lin Mo rode his horse to continue exploring along the passage ahead.
About a hundred meters ahead is a dead end, but the area is not small. Apart from one or two resource points, there is only a wooden house built against the wall in the distance.
The wooden house has a support frame underneath, and it is built three to five meters above the ground. However, there is a wooden ladder, so climbing up is not difficult.
As soon as he touched it, Lin Mo received a notification.
[Witch's Hut Discovered!]
This is a great place!
It is said that you can learn a spell randomly at the witch's hut, and what you learn depends entirely on luck.
If you're lucky, you might learn god-tier skills, such as logistics, diplomacy, earth magic, or wisdom. But if you're unlucky, you might only learn skills like Eagle Eye, mysticism, or first aid, which is just bad luck.
Lin Mo, however, felt that even the worst skill had its uses.
It all depends on whether you know how to use it.
He dismounted and climbed up the wooden ladder.
Pushing open the small door above, Lin Mo saw many candles lit in the small room, and a witch draped in a tattered blanket sitting on the ground, intently fiddling with some bones and branches in her hands.
It was clear that the witch was very old. Although the blanket covered the upper half of her face, the wrinkled and loose skin on her exposed arms, along with her thick and sharp nails, still betrayed her age.
"Welcome. I've been researching 'earth magic' lately. Would you be interested in listening?" The witch's words were very 'formulaic,' a characteristic of the 'characters' after the game world was merged.
Each of them, whether wise men or soldiers, is more like a pre-programmed sequence of events, operating only according to a script-like set of behavioral guidelines.
It might sound trivial, but this thing exists in reality and has already invaded everyone's lives, which is the most terrifying aspect. For example, if you enter a room, the people inside might be laughing as they try to kill you, because their "script" is to attack and torture any outsider who enters that room.
To be honest, Lin Mo had encountered a similar situation before. Of course, if you are strong enough, it is a thrilling battle and victory; if you are not strong enough, it is just a heart-pounding horror movie.
Lin Mo was clearly very lucky; it was actually an 'earth magic'.
This thing is useful; it can increase the effects and duration of earth magic while reducing mana consumption.
Earth element possesses divine skills such as Slowing Spell, Protective Shield, Spirit Gathering Technique, and Rebirth. Having this skill is equivalent to increasing the effectiveness of these spells while reducing their consumption.
After a long and rambling explanation, Lin Mo finally saw the hint.
You have mastered the basics of Earth Magic.
"It's done!"
Lin Mo knew that this witch's hut was quite nice, and he could bring other heroes or companions here to learn in the future.
Just as he was about to leave, the witch suddenly spoke up, saying, "You seem to be carrying something mysterious."
"?"
Lin Mo turned his head to look over.
What other gains were there?
Lin Mo had never encountered such a situation before, nor did he seem to have heard of it.
"What mysterious thing am I carrying?" Lin Mo turned around and asked.
"That's a question for you to ask, young man!" The witch's voice carried an innate air of mystery.
Lin Mo disliked the Riddler, but he knew he couldn't do anything about the witch, so he thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly, he remembered something.
"Could it be that unknown map fragment?"
I found something in the otherworld map 'The Serpent's Treasure' before. If there's anything about me that's related to the word 'mystery', it's this.
So Lin Mo took the item out.
"This is it!" The witch looked up, and oh my god, she was old and ugly, like a toad that had come to life. The pimples on her face looked like they could squeeze out a lot of pus.
Lin Mo shifted his gaze to the map fragment in his hand: "What's the use of this?"
"May I take a look?" the witch asked.
Lin Mo thought for a moment, then handed it over: "Okay!"
The witch took the piece of parchment and felt around with her rough fingers. A glint of light appeared beneath her droopy eyelids.
Then, she began muttering incoherently, in a strange tone, which could be interpreted as some kind of mysterious incantation.
Five seconds later, Lin Mo withdrew his contempt and realized that this witch must be a highly skilled person.
Because the map fragments were emitting light.
It's so bright it's blinding!
The light lasted for a few seconds before gradually dimming. The witch, like a middle-aged person who had run ten kilometers, was covered in sweat and out of breath. For a moment, Lin Mo thought the witch was going to collapse and die.
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
The witch recovered, and after tidying herself up, she returned the map fragments to Lin Mo.
But this time, the prompt, which was originally "[Unknown map fragment: ? ? ? ?]", has changed.
[Secret Realm 'Crystal Mine', Map Fragment 1 (out of four fragments)]
[Level 8]
If you can find a few more pieces, perhaps you could try piecing them together...
Lin Mo gasped when he saw this.
What shocked him was not the name of the map, but the level.
Generally speaking, otherworldly maps are divided into levels, but as far as Lin Mo knows, the levels of otherworldly maps are basically from level one to level seven, with level one being the lowest and level seven being the highest.
He had never heard of a level eight otherworld map.
But now, this [Level 8] is right there in front of us, so obviously that it's impossible not to believe it.
After all, facts speak louder than words.
In that instant, Lin Mo felt his hair stand on end.
What will a level 8 otherworld map look like? What treasures and monsters will it contain?
