The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 283: Ice and Fire


"Hint: You have equipped the 'Tree Spirit Fruit'"

"Record: You attacked the little tree elf and killed 1 little tree elf."

"Your number of deep resurrections +1"

Watching those lines of wonderful prompts flash before your eyes.
Roger, who was standing on a high place throwing "durian" at this moment, smiled knowingly.
Under the constant attack of durian.
All the little tree elves below were destroyed.
Not long.
He cleared the whole room!
"Throwing objects are useful!"
"Melee combat is really rubbish..."
Roger couldn't let go of the fruit in his hand.
This thing is not without its shortcomings:
Slow attack speed;
Throwing distance is also limited;
These are all pretty obvious.
But compared to a melee weapon like "A Piece of Branch" which not only has a limited number of uses but also carries the risk of injury, "Durian" is an absolute magic weapon!
He immediately rushed to the "remains of the ancient tree spirit" holding the durian.
Under touch.
This prompt appeared on the data column.

"You have cleared the 'Tree Spirit Hut' and obtained the secret technique: Life Sacrifice"

"Hint: The secret skill column has been unlocked"

"You have obtained the remains of an ancient dryad."

A lot of information flashed by.
Roger was not impatient.
But look at each one carefully.
First up is the "Mystic Techniques" column.
Roger noticed a faint blue symbol appeared in the upper left corner of his vision.
After opening it, you will find 3 grids inside.
One of the boxes has been filled with a light green cross symbol.
This green cross is naturally the secret technique that I just obtained.

"Life Sacrifice: For every 10 units destroyed, restore 1 life point"

"It's OK, I can recover my health."
Roger quickly understood the mechanism of the secret technique——
This is a special power that only works in the 'Dead Forest'.
He can acquire various secret skills during the exploration process.
But you can only hold up to 3 at a time.
The specific replacements and trade-offs should be based on the actual situation.
Except for the secret arts column.
Also unlocked at the same time are the "Weapon Bar" and "Item Bar".
There is only 1 weapon slot.
Currently occupied by the "Dryad Fruit".
There are 9 props in the tool bar.
It was still empty at the moment, so Roger tried to throw some things from his tinder bag over, but was told it couldn't be operated.
Obviously.
The so-called "tools".
It should also be something that conforms to the special rules of the 'Dead Forest'.
It is difficult for things from the outside world to have an effect here.
"perhaps……"
"This is the danger the White Horse God mentioned."
Roger pondered:
"If I die here, my quick resurrection and deep resurrection may not be effective..."
“Although the rules clearly state that you will be resurrected in the initial room after each failed exploration, it still feels a bit uneasy.”
Just think of this.
Roger decided to be more cautious.

After figuring out the relevant mechanisms.
He then turned his attention to the "remains of the ancient tree spirit ".
Under touch.
He was given two options.

"1. Devour: Immediately increase the upper limit of health index by 3 points"

"2. Storage: Place items in your storage device, and they will be displayed in their external form after you leave the 'Dead Forest'"

Obviously.
The remains of this ancient tree spirit are also in a "flattened" form.
Only the first effect can be exerted in the Dead Forest.
And outside there may be a chance to exert a stronger effect.
Roger thought about it.
Finally, I chose 1 conservatively.
Tree spirits are not liquor.
It's not that the older the better.
Especially since he is not short of resources at the moment, improving the tolerance rate in the Dead Forest is a better option.
In this way.
His life index was raised to 8 points.
This means that he can now be whipped by the little tree spirit at most 8 times!
Combine the durian in your hand with the "Life Sacrifice" you just received.
At least he can keep his blood volume in a relatively safe area for a long time.
Thinking so.
Roger quickly passed through the gate behind the remains of the dryad.
Next second.
A strange feeling came over me——
His perspective was pulled high.
It's like being pulled from a two-dimensional plane to a bird's-eye view.
Roger faced a three-way intersection.

"Deep in the Forest (Little Tree Spirit/Angel's Remains)"

"Dark Room"

"Empty Room"

According to the "Brother Principle".
Roger decisively chose the first room!
In the blink of an eye.
Roger's perspective was "suppressed" again.
The scene around him changed slightly.
The sound of birds singing also rang in his ears.

"Hint: You have consumed 1 movement point and have reached the depths of the jungle."

"You encountered a little tree spirit*3"

"You encountered a dryad sorcerer."

This room is similar to a Dryad's hut.
Most of them are platforms built of trees.
But the difficulty of jumping has increased significantly.
Fortunately, Roger has the double and triple jumps.
The terrain obstacles were no problem for him.
What made him so happy was the number of little tree elves here!
Looking around, it was a densely packed area.
As soon as I saw Roger.
They rushed over aggressively, waving their whips.
Take advantage of the little tree spirit's weakness of not being able to jump.
Roger hit a high point.
Silently threw the durian.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Endless durians rustle down.
Endless resurrections are coming.
Roger is having a great time brushing!
However, in the process, he was also stabbed in the back by his brother——
Among the Dryads there emerged a traitor called the Dryad Warlock.
Not only does this thing give you this crap stat of "your chance of coming back to life after death is slightly increased."
They will even secretly use a shady trick called "ground stabbing"!

"Earth Spike: The Dryad will launch an Earth Spike at the enemy every 20 seconds. The target hit by the Earth Spike will lose 2 health points. The range of the Earth Spike is 6 units.
Premonition: A green light will appear under your feet about 1 second later.

The attack range of this thing is actually average.
But the speed of the launch was too fast, and the signs were not obvious enough.
In a lush green forest.
The green light under your feet is not so easy to see!
to this end.
Roger suffered a lot.
Even though he was very careful about his positioning later on, he was still stabbed in the genitals several times by the warlocks.
While the life index continued to drop rapidly.
The intense pain made him want to die.
Fortunately.
He also has "life sacrifice".
He can get back the health lost from the warlock from the little tree spirit!
After cleaning this room.
Roger only lost 1 drop of blood overall.
This amount of blood cannot be said to be risk-free.
I can only say it is very healthy.
20 minutes later.
Roger reached the highest point deep in the jungle.
There.
There is a pixelated corpse.
If there is no system prompt.
Roger really didn't know that this thing was an angel.
Following the same routine as before.
He walked over and touched it lightly.
on the data bar.

"Hint: You have cleared 'Deep in the Jungle' and obtained the item 'Angel's Armor'"

"Angel's Armor (Heaven/Fortress): Place it in the item column. Every 30 seconds you will gain a shield that lasts for 15 seconds. This shield can offset 1 point of damage to your health index."

"You have obtained the 'Angel's Remains'"

The armor is naturally equipped directly.
As for the "Angel's Remains", Roger chose to store them.
Next second.
A pixel-style logo immediately appeared in the Tinder bag.
Wait until he leaves the Dead Forest.
This thing will reveal its true appearance.
After finishing everything.
Instead of rushing to explore the next room, Roger jumped a few times on the platform.
Not long.
A soft condom appeared on his body.
That feeling is quite amazing.
While the sense of security has increased.
Roger thought this dead forest was quite interesting——
If there is no limit on the number of moving points.
This place is simply a perfect side-scrolling fighting game!
He thought about it carefully.
Suddenly.
An idea came to his mind -
"If it were in the outside world, what level of monster would the little tree spirit be?"
Roger realized.
In the process of being 'squashed'.
His base stats are calculated based on his overall level, and other stats may refer to his base attributes.
And in the dead forest.
Whether it is a branch, a durian, or the whip of a tree elf, the damage is equivalent to 1 life index.
Only the Treant Warlock's Earth Spike has 2 points of damage.
Doesn't this mean that Roger's normal attack is not even as good as the Dryad Warlock's ground spikes?
“That’s definitely not right.”
Roger was carefully working it out in his mind.
After a while.
The information about the little tree spirit in the art of qigong was updated.
In the latest updated data.
Roger noticed that there was an additional word "superb" behind "little tree spirit".
The Dryad Warlock is "Super/Elite" .
"So, the extraordinary ones are just ordinary monsters here?"
"Because the Xiayin template cannot be recognized, I was treated as a normal template?"
"The Extraordinary Elite can deal two points of damage, so what about the Extraordinary Lord?"
"This is not the "Purgatory Between Hells", and the upper limit of strength no longer exists. Will I encounter an opponent of an upgraded level?"
That moment.
Roger thought of many things...
He thought for a long time deep in the forest.
After making sufficient mental preparations for the subsequent battles, we set off again!

The next fork in the road is still a choice between three.
For Roger it was simple.
There are small trees that carefully select small tree spirits.
Nothing else needs additional consideration.
that's all.
He fought his way to the sixth room.
The blank monsters in the first three rooms are all cute little tree elves.
Start from the fourth room.
The little tree elf was replaced by the "mushroom monster".
The attribute given by this thing is——

"Your butt has gained a slight lift."

This attribute made Roger feel wary.
I lost interest in taking action after seeing the mushroom monster!
After clearing the first five rooms.
He also obtained a secret technique and two props.

"Secret Technique (Unparalleled Sword Qi): When you are equipped with a sword weapon, your normal attack will be accompanied by a half-moon-shaped mid-range magic attack.
Those hit by the sword will have an additional 2 life points deducted;

Source: The Remains of the Orc Swordmaster

This secret technique looks quite powerful.
Unfortunately, Roger only had durian in his hand.
This thing can only be used as a decoration for now.
Fortunately, the other two props are useful.

"Fire Spirit Necklace (Magic/Elf/Fire): You gain a fire spirit as a companion;
The fire spirit will randomly attack enemies along your route;
Enemies damaged by the fire spirit will experience a 'burning' effect.

“Glowing Cross (Celestial/Sharp): In the ‘Dim Room’, you will gain additional vision;
You will be immune to 'dark spells'"

The basic properties of these two items are pretty good.
The summoned fire elves are also pixelated.
But the laughter is like silver bells.
Even when it's breathing fire it's very cute.
This is much better than Cindy.
And it is worth mentioning.
After Roger placed them in the prop bar.
Such a prompt suddenly appeared on the data column.

"Hint: The Celestial Realm entry is triggered, and you get additional attribute bonuses!"

"Heaven (2): Every 180 seconds you will receive a blessing from heaven that lasts for 10 seconds. While the blessing is in effect, your attack speed increases by 50%."

It's time.
Roger then noticed that all the "items" had at least two "entries" behind them.
"So, when collecting items, we should not only consider their own properties, but also stacking their entries is also crucial?"
Because no other terms are triggered.
Roger could only see the effects of the "Heavenly Realm".
Want to trigger more attribute bonuses.
You need to collect more equipment of the same item.
For example, when "Heaven" is in the 4-piece set and 6-piece set, its attribute gain will be further enhanced.
Roger couldn't see the detailed data.
But guess what, the attack speed will continue to increase.
“Not very impressive.”
He gave a fair evaluation in his mind.
What’s the use of having a high attack speed?
Isn't it just throwing durian?
So he is not very interested in collecting items of "Heavenly Entries".
He was more concerned about "barrier", "elves" and "flame".
Especially "barrier".
Even without any attribute description, this entry can give people a sense of security.
What a pity.
Continue to fight until the sixth room.
Roger was unable to collect the other entries.
Because the three rooms displayed at the previous fork in the road are in unknown states.
He could only guess at random.
The moment I came in.
Roger regretted it!
Because a terrifying beast roar sounded in his ears!
Immediately following.
The earth shook!
The floor beneath his feet collapsed!
Rolling mud and slabs of stone hit Roger.
As soon as it comes up.
He was deducted 2 life points!
on the data bar.

"Hint: Consume 1 movement point, you enter the 'Chimera Prison'"

"You encountered Chimera (Supernatural/Lord)"

That moment.
Roger's perspective changed to a bird's-eye view again.
He saw a three-headed monster wreaking havoc on a rusty ruin!
The monster's three heads were a dragon, a lion, and a sheep.
The main body is composed of a lion head and body.
The dragon heads and sheep heads on both sides are smaller, but their expressions are more ferocious.
It has wings under its ribs, and its three heads are like dragons with the ability to spit weapons. Its hind half looks very much like a goat. The overall appearance is indescribably weird!
Roger noticed.
There is only one monster, Chimera, in this whole room!
"Is this the Boss fight?"
At that moment, Roger held his breath, quickly distanced himself from Chimera, and carefully looked for a place to jump and hide!
In the field of vision of qigong.
Chimera's life index is a thick light green bar!
This means this monster is healthy!
“We have to operate it carefully.”
Feel the oppressive feeling coming from Chimera.
Roger operated it solemnly.
After 30 seconds.
He appeared in the initial room with a complicated expression.
He didn't want to look at the stats column.
But you have to watch it!

"Hint: You were trampled to death by Chimera"

"You were resurrected in the 'Tree Spirit Hut';
You have used up 1 exploration opportunity;
You lost the 'fruit of the dryad';
There is no change in your item column and secret skill column..."

Judging from the combat records.
Although Roger was trying hard to operate.
He still suffered from Chimera's breath weapon once, two dives, and the final feral stomping...
In this process.
The term "heaven" has no effect at all!
He only managed to knock down half of Chimera's green life bar.
This feeling of helplessness that he had not experienced for a long time vaguely reminded Roger of the fear of being dominated by high-difficulty single-player games in his previous life.
The main reason is that durian's attack range is too short.
If Roger wants to hit the opponent, he must get close.
This led to the birth of tragedy...
About this result.
He just wanted to say to Chimera:
"Let's go outside and fight one-on-one if you dare!"
In the main material world.
As an extraordinary lord, Chimera is definitely no match for Roger.
But after being flattened.
Things seem to have changed.
According to the battle records.
Roger conducted a careful and detailed evaluation and came to a reliable conclusion:
"I'm definitely no match for Chimera!"
so.
He had no choice but to take a detour!

The second exploration begins.
What comforted Roger was that -
The Dryads have been refreshed.
But the "remains of the ancient tree spirit" that he devoured disappeared.
Roger's health limit dropped back to 4.
This made him very uncomfortable.
Then he pushed upward with force.
The familiar feeling of collision appeared again.
Praise loudly.
There was an extra "piece of branch" in his hand.
The griffin eggs at the top of the tree canopy are still there.
After raising the life index to 5.
Roger resolutely devoted himself to the business of hunting down little tree elves.
Not long.
He then took the durian from one of the little tree elves again.
Less than an hour passed.
Finish the first three rooms.
The number of dryads who died at Roger's hands has reached 103!
This means that the number of deep resurrections has reached 101.
Because of the experience of the first exploration.
The second time the drawing was opened was much faster.
final.
Roger bypassed the "Chimera Prison".
In the case of paying 1 extra mobile point.
He reached the "Spider Tomb" by taking a detour.
And in this process.
Roger got 3 more items.

"Warrior's Medal (Barrier/Courage): You will gain an extra attack for every three attacks."

"Water Spirit Pendant (Sprite/Lake Kingdom): You gain a water spirit as a companion;
The water spirit will randomly attack enemies along your route;
Enemies damaged by water spirits will be frozen.

"Emerald Censer (Red Earth Mountain/Encouragement): Your movement speed increases by 30%"

After obtaining these 3 props.
Below the character panel.
The entries for "Barrier" and "Elf" are both lit up.

"Barrier (2): You gain an additional 10 Barrier points.
When you receive damage, the barrier index will be deducted first;
The deducted barrier index will be slowly restored at a rate of 1 point per hour.

「Elves (2): Your elves' attack frequency increases by 30%;
They will have a certain chance to use the combo skill 'Ice and Fire'"

"This is the shield flow and summoning flow!"
As a senior game player.
Roger saw through the essence behind the prop mechanism at a glance.
If possible.
Of course he wanted to fill all the entries.
But consider that the prop bar only has 9 slots.
Even if he achieved great success in the later period.
You also have to make choices between the various entries.
Not to mention that the biggest problem Roger is facing now is insufficient movement points!

"Only 1 movement point left."
"I hope there aren't any monsters on Chimera's level in there."
Standing at the entrance to the Spider Crypt.
Roger was somewhat nervous.
Next second.
He pushed the door open and walked in.
After the scene changed.
A desolate atmosphere blew over me.
This was beyond Roger's expectation.
There are no monsters in the Spider Tomb!
He wandered around the room for a while.
Eventually, the remains of "God of the Wilderness: Spider" were discovered in the central area.
After touching the remains.

"Hint: You have obtained the Heart of the Wild (Spider)"

"You have received the blessing from the Spider God: a higher-dimensional perspective"

"High-dimensional perspective: You can look down at the 'dead forest' from a cross-section"

“That’s absolutely right!”
Roger suddenly became excited!
For him.
"High-dimensional perspective" is really crucial.
The battles in the two-dimensional world are completely different from those in the main material world.
He is now deeply involved.
Most of the monsters Roger can only see are lines of different colors!
That feeling...
It’s really worse than being blind!
And we have a high-dimensional perspective.
At least he felt like he was playing arcade games outside the game!
But soon.
Roger felt a little lost again.
The Spider's Wild Heart is obtained.
But the elephant's is still far away.
What's more troublesome is.
He's run out of movement points!
Move one more room.
He will be forced to return to the starting room.
It's certainly a good thing to see the cute little tree elf.
But if you can't get the last Heart of the Wilderness.
He has no way of entering the Cage Island!
In this way.
His mission to Purgatory had failed.
Just think of this.
Roger couldn't help but look a little sad.
In order to find opportunities to increase movement points.
Roger paced around the room.
The Spider Grave is huge.
There are 256 cells in total.
The place where he got the Heart of the Wild was only one-third of the way.
The remaining two thirds.
He will definitely finish it.
"There must be a way!"
Roger carefully observed every detail in the room.
30 minutes later.
He appeared in the initial room with a dejected expression.

"Tip: You have stayed there for too long and are being forced to move..."

"Not enough movement points, this exploration ends"

What follows are lines of prompts that are unchanged from before.
The weapon disappears.
The props and secret techniques were preserved.
There is only one last chance left to explore.
Roger did not lose heart.
He methodically cleared out the dryads in the first three rooms.
And at the next intersection.
He hesitated for a moment.
Finally, I chose the "empty room" that I had never been to before.

"Hint: You entered an empty room and found a 'heart-warming bonfire'"

"A heart-warming bonfire: Take a break by the bonfire and you'll get an extra 4 movement points."

“There really is a way!”
Roger clenched his fists excitedly!
But he soon calmed down.
4 movement points are still not enough.
He painted so many rooms along the way.
I only encountered one "empty room".
This can only extend the exploration path a little bit at most. Unless there are props in the deeper rooms that increase the movement points, it will still be useless.
"etc……"
Just at this moment.
Roger suddenly noticed.
The color of the bonfire was a little strange.
It's actually lavender.
"A lavender bonfire?"
Roger's heart moved.
Next second.
He suddenly opened the tinder bag, rummaged through it for a long time, and finally found a grid that was covered with dust!
In that grid are stored many loots from the Deep Sea Serpent.
Among them are bundles of lavender torches!
There are also many shovels and tents!
Roger tried to take the props out of the tinder bag.
It turned out to be successful!
on the data bar.

"You have obtained the 'heart-warming torch'*633"

"A heart-warming torch : After lighting it, you will gain an additional 3 movement points"

"You obtained 'Sturdy Shovel'*1064"

"A sturdy shovel: you can use it to remove some obstacles"

"You obtained 'Durable Tent'*221"

Durable Tent: Rest in the tent for 6 hours and you will get an extra 10 movement points.


"so……"
"Is there a similar two-dimensional world beneath the Endless Abyss?"
Roger was ecstatic.
Acutely aware of this.
