Old Pete’s lines were snatched away, and he immediately said in embarrassment: “I also put in a lot of effort!” He was just being chased by orc warriors and was walking around the ruins of the altar and the pillars, which attracted some of the firepower. Of the fifteen orc infantrymen, except for six who were killed by long-range attacks at the beginning, Leo killed two, Denise burned one to death, shot one, and Fisher and Lynch killed three together. The orc infantry who had been chasing and hacking at Old Pete for a long time and his last companion fled directly after the retreat horn sounded. As for the Wolf Knight who was fighting with Hawkins and Barrett, with the bonus of the Wolf, his strength was even stronger than the two of them, and he suppressed the two of them throughout the whole process. So after the orcs retreated, instead of chasing them, everyone cheered for their luck. The short and intense battle ended, and everyone was exhausted and could no longer withstand the powerful hacking of the Wolf Riders. Leo took Denise's staff and examined it carefully. This British-style gentleman's cane is made of pure metal and is quite heavy. A fire magic crystal is inlaid on the curved handle. Leo originally thought it was just a fancy trekking pole, but it went perfectly with Denise's exquisite outfit.
I didn't expect it to be a staff. The fire magic crystal embedded on the top can obviously amplify Denise's fire spells. All her fireballs are condensed and projected from here. When Leo thought it was just a staff, he didn't expect it to be a musket! At the end of the cane, there was a black muzzle. The whole cane was actually a hollow gun barrel. And it is extremely powerful, comparable to modern shotguns. The orc who was shot dead had a palm-sized blood hole on his chest. It was not caused by a bullet, but the tragic scene created by the dense spray of more than ten large steel balls. Denise smiled and explained, "This is an alchemical musket made by the famous alchemist Freeman. It was given to my mentor. It is an improvement on the latest dwarven musket. Because it uses magic power to fire, it does not require a trigger." "When my mentor knew I was going on a long journey, he gave it to me so I could use it to protect myself!" Denise smiled mischievously and said, "Since it requires magic power to fire, then this can also be considered a type of fireball, right? So I call it Denise's Fireball!" As she spoke, she unscrewed the curved handle of her cane, revealing the chamber inside, and inserted a cylindrical bullet into it. This is a shotgun! With such a single-shot shotgun and the fact that he is a low-level wizard, Denise is not really a burden when she travels into the wilderness with the Firefly Adventure Group. Leo was drooling at what he saw. The overall technological strength of the Orlantis Empire was at the medieval level, but he and his villagers were still struggling in the backward areas of the classical period. But the capital of the empire has entered the Renaissance. The gap in civilization between them is probably as long as a thousand years! Even if you search the entire North, you won't find many craftsmen who can make a slender alloy gun barrel like this one. Even if the blueprints were given to Isenpol's blacksmith to copy a similar musket, the barrel would have to be at least one centimeter thicker to ensure that it would not explode. Compared to the alchemical musket in front of him that required magic power to fire, Leo was more interested in the dwarven musket. He couldn't help but ask, "Is the dwarven musket also so powerful?" Denise shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. I haven't seen many firearms. Most of them are antiques displayed in the Imperial Capital Museum. They are not very powerful and are not as useful as bows and arrows."
"Since the West was plunged into war, the dwarves from the west have rarely come to the Imperial Capital for trade and exchange. Only in the Free State of the Islands in the south can we occasionally see dwarven craftsmen." Leo nodded in disappointment, his dream of long-range fire suppression shattered once again. At this moment, the majestic and indifferent voice came to his ears again. "You helped the Thunder Clan and successfully repelled the orcs." "You have completed the novice mission and gained access to the atrium." Leo asked in his mind, "Access to the atrium? Where is the atrium?" He was not too impressed with the system that had cropped up. The rewards are too few! There is not even a newbie gift pack! I don’t know if there’s a Eureka that can shorten my nuclear fusion research by half or something. If he had to choose between this Laomo subsystem and Grandpa Bobak, he would definitely choose Master Bobak. Thinking of this, Leo asked, shouting in his heart: "Master Bobak, are you there?" Unfortunately, there was no response. As Leo asked the question, rows of data appeared in his field of vision. A series of light spots suddenly appeared on the ground in front of me. Turn on automatic pathfinding! Open the mini map! Open the task guide! Turn on the life bar! Leo was dumbfounded by the interfaces and marks that popped up one after another in his field of vision. The time-travel life that was originally so real suddenly turned into a game! Denise saw Leo's uncertain expression and asked with concern: "Leo, what's wrong with you?" "It's okay. I think I found... the atrium." "Ah?" Denise exclaimed, looking up and around, searching everywhere. They were in the middle of a large canyon, with endless Wolf-Driving Plains outside and magnificent barrier cliffs inside. The majestic cliffs towering into the clouds stretch endlessly to the north, and when the weather is clear, you can even see the snow-capped peaks above. At the end of the south is the distant Anzeno River Falls. Because the waterfall is big and high enough, it doesn't seem very far away. As far as the naked eye can see, there are no ruins of any city at all.
"Follow me!" Leo was at a loss for words, so he could only lead the way. On the other side of the Storm Altar, there is also a cliff path that leads to the end of the canyon. The further you go into the canyon, the narrower it becomes, and the river water in the canyon becomes more turbulent. The further Denise walked in, the more nervous she became. She couldn't help but worry, "Where are the bear guards from before? Did they just let us in?" These bear guards were extremely powerful, but the adventure group was not the tough and strong wolf riders. They were a bunch of fragile little creatures, and a chain of lightning would easily wipe them out. Leo said perfunctorily: "Maybe he is hiding because he is injured." Denise asked again: "Leo, how did you find the location of the atrium? I don't have any clues at all!" Leo couldn't explain it, so he covered his head and shouted, "Ah, my head hurts, I need a brain!" He was hit by the sword energy from the altar in the morning, which made his mind a little confused and his face turned pale, as if his injury had not healed. In the battle with the orcs, he used the two-handed drunken sword and was able to fight one against two without being at a disadvantage, which was also extremely magical. Perhaps the soul of the Beast Sword Master traveled into his body! No one asked any more questions for the moment. After walking for seven or eight miles, they finally went down the path into the canyon and arrived at the riverbank. The scenery here is extremely beautiful. The water in the pond is crystal clear, blue with a hint of green. Coupled with the blue sky and green mountains on both sides, Leo feels as if he is in a painting. The light spots on the ground spread all the way to the waterfall in front.
