Chapter 414: Forbidden magic, forbidden magic! I am going to beat up the magician today!
In the end, Mo Cheng made his choice.
【smokescreen】!
All three skills are very practical, but the invisibility of [Stealth] cannot be moved. Mo Cheng already has [Ghost Walk] as a higher-level replacement. At the same time, the armor reduction ability of [Stealth] is also replaced by [Corrosion Ball].
The same is true for [Phantom Strike]. The [Flash Strike] effect that comes with Abyss Blade also overlaps with [Phantom Strike] in some aspects.
Moreover, Abyss Blade's [Blink Strike] also has the ability to force stun.
The reason for choosing [Smoke Screen] is simple. [Smoke Screen]'s attack misses and its ability to ban magic are things that Mo Cheng currently does not have.
[Smoke Screen] is the only skill that Mo Cheng has drawn from his skill pool so far that has the ability to [forbid magic].
The next itinerary was to go to the city of Rothal to investigate where the instruments that were taken away from the Winterhold Magic Academy were hidden. Mo Cheng could not guarantee that he would have the opportunity to complete the investigation safely and then bring the instruments back to Aundair.
There will always be some unavoidable battles. With Mo Cheng's combat power, he has nothing to worry about as long as he doesn't encounter a large-scale siege.
What annoyed him was that if he met a wizard, it would be a very troublesome thing.
The mage profession will definitely not have any weird skills to cause you trouble.
At the same time, Mo Cheng also knew one thing clearly, that is, with [Smoke Screen], no one could teleport in front of him.
When in Hesen Town, Mo Cheng still remembers the dragon descendant named Erica who used the power of space and could move freely in space.
He tried to lower the opponent's health and hit him with a critical hit, but his health was reduced to the lowest level and his opponent escaped with a space move. That made Mo Cheng feel frustrated for several days.
As for the consumption of [Smoke Screen], Mo Cheng took off the Ogre Axe and replaced it with the Spirit Ball, and his mana was immediately extended.
Combined with the instant recovery effect of [Arcane Boots], the consumption of [Smoke Screen] is not unacceptable.
Moreover, after killing the [Blood Sacrifice Saint] and leveling up twice in [Strange Things in the Fishing Port], although Mo Cheng could not see his attribute growth on the personal attribute panel , he could already feel that his overall body values had been significantly enhanced.
The only pity is that the personal attribute panel does not display the value of each attribute, so he has never figured out whether he has a strength hero template or an agility hero template.
Of course, there is also a possibility that his character template is actually the same as that of the Ogre Magi. He is an [Intelligence Hero] whose basic attribute strength is higher than intelligence, and whose strength growth is higher than intelligence growth.
…
The next morning, Mo Cheng got up early.
The others were still resting in their rooms, and Mo Cheng was not in a hurry to wake them up because the next actions would require sufficient energy to complete.
However, besides Mo Cheng himself, Isabella and Theresa also got up early. They were the ones in the group who had rich experience in outdoor life and traveling, so they did not need a long rest after a journey like the others.
Seeing Mo Cheng walk out of the room, Theresa walked closer and whispered, "Captain, are you planning to go to Rothal City next?"
Theresa deliberately lowered her voice, obviously intending to say something that was inconvenient for others to hear. Mo Cheng, realizing what she wanted to say, nodded and also lowered his voice to ensure that the resting people would not hear it. "Yes, the batch of instruments in Winterburg was intercepted and sent to Rothal City. We need to find the batch of instruments and bring them back."
When they were in the City Lord's Mansion, Dorothy almost found out where the instruments were hidden, but at that time Mo Cheng happened to encounter the past image of [Eight Seven], and in anger he used a powerful move to blow the City Lord's Mansion into pieces.
So the clue we have learned so far is that the destination of that batch of instruments was the city of Rothal, but where exactly it is requires further investigation.
It is very difficult to find those instruments in a city without any clues.
It's a bit of an exaggeration to say it's like searching for the moon in the bottom of the ocean, but it's almost accurate to say it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Theresa lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "If we need to investigate, perhaps we can borrow the power of the cult."
Mo Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. The cult Theresa was talking about was naturally the Dragon Worshiping Cult.
With the help of the Dragon Cult...
"How much power does the cult have in Lothal City?"
"It's very powerful." Isabella answered from the side, "Rothal City is a huge gathering point for the cult. Many Dragonborn are sheltered in such gathering points."
After Isabella and Theresa became Mo Cheng's followers, they had already formed a personal dependency relationship with him, so they didn't have much intention of keeping the cult's information secret.
After all, in their opinion, Mo Cheng's blood as a dragon descendant is not only of extremely high purity, but he also has a potion that can increase the purity of dragon descendant blood and delay the arrival of [Dragon Madness].
In terms of identity, Mo Cheng is naturally a member of the [Dragonborn] camp. As Mo Cheng has extremely high blood purity and potions, the only thing the half-elf sisters need to think about is whether after joining the Dragon Worship Church, Mo Cheng's status will be second only to the leader, or whether the leader should simply abdicate and let others take over.
This was not a delusion. Isabella and Theresa, who had personally experienced the effects of the potion given by Mo Cheng, knew very well that as long as Mo Cheng was willing to take out the potion, at least half of the people in the cult would follow him.
Mo Cheng's [artificial dragon bloodline] represents more than just power. For the dragon descendants, it can make up for the defects in their own bloodline, which is equivalent to extending their lifespan.
It is not about living in madness, but living by truly relying on your own will, with a body that can think for itself and move freely.
Listening to Isabella's explanation, Mo Cheng asked, "That gathering point, wouldn't it be the headquarters? Also, how can I use the power of the cult to help me find things?"
Theresa shook her head and denied Mo Cheng's statement. "It's not the headquarters. Because of the nature of the cult itself, there is no such thing as a headquarters, because that would easily leak information. Of course, it's okay to say it's the headquarters. Rothal City is one of the largest gathering places, and high-ranking members of the cult are often stationed there."
"As for using the power of the cult..." Isabella added, "It's very simple. Just go with us to the gathering place to prove your identity as a dragonborn. The process of joining the cult is not complicated. You only need to verify your bloodline and obtain the approval of the cult's top leaders before you can join."
"Recently , the person stationed in Rothal City should be Erica."
