Chapter 508: Corpse
Person!
A middle-aged man in a white wizard's robe was glaring angrily at Merlin on a bony horse, and Longbottom beside her had already clenched his hammer and was ready to strike.
"Wait a minute. ”
Merlin was also about to activate the 'Twelve Angels Movement' as soon as possible, but then noticed an anomaly in her mental perception and stopped Longbottom, who was about to rush over.
"Strange! how can this dead man be like a living man?" said Augustus strangely.
He also discovered for the first time that there was no life fluctuation on the white-robed wizard's body...... It's a dead man!
Shooting at the dead man, the joke was a big one, so he immediately fed back the news to Merlin, and Merlin's perception happened to feel different, which made Longbottom stop in time.
After confirming that there was no other danger around, Merlin rolled over and dismounted...... It's not just about being careful, it's about respecting a full-fledged wizard. Although this wizard should have been dead for a long time, there was still a remnant of energy in his body, which still made people feel his strength during his lifetime.
When she came closer, Mei Lin found that the person's eyes were really full of light, like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest sign of life. But the strange thing is that this flesh figure is not corrupted in the slightest, it is lifelike, and even the face still has a hint of ruddy.
How is this possible?
Even after the dragon dies, I'm afraid it won't be able to keep its body from rotting forever, right?
I'm afraid that only the corpses of gods will remain immortal after death, right?
"Strange, how did he keep the corpse from rotting? Could it be some kind of potion?"
Mei Lin was puzzled, but she immediately denied this possibility, "If you use a potion to embalm, not to mention whether the effect is so good, because the potion will destroy the corpse tissue, the energy on the corpse will quickly dissipate, and there is no way to have power." ”
"In ancient times, there were some bloodline warlocks, and with the high-level meditation method they cultivated, their corpses could not decay for a long time. In addition, there are some special witch weapons, all of which may have this effect...... "Augustus is also quite knowledgeable in this regard.
Originally, after he got a clone, he wanted to run out for a while, but when he saw the situation in front of him...... It's not weird, it's boring, and he's a little bored, so he honestly lets the clone plant fruit trees.
"Still,"
His tone paused, "Master, haven't you found the strangest place on this corpse?"
"What?" Merlin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the corpse carefully.
At last, she realized what Augustus had said...... One is his fatal wound, and the other is his clothes.
The wizard's fatal wound was in the back of the head, a wound the size of a pigeon bullet. This is definitely a sneak attack, and it is likely to be someone familiar to the wizard...... Because the wizard still had a smile on his face, the expression on his face did not even change due to the instant death.
And the white wizard's robe is even more unbelievable...... Ordinary wizard robes have alchemy circles near them, which have the effect of defense, dusting, and even warmth in winter and coolness in summer. It can not decay for a certain period of time until the energy is exhausted.
But this wizard's robe is a little weird, after so many years, not only has it not been corroded, but it is as new in color and dust, and I am afraid it is also an extraordinary good thing.
If that's what Merlin had speculated, then the meaning is worth recalling...... A hidden wizard organization like the Valley of Mystery Academy is difficult for outsiders to discover and invade. But if it's internal and external collusion, it's hard to say. The strongest fortresses begin to fall from within, and this is how the Valley of Mystery Academy is likely to be destroyed.
Of course, this is Merlin's conjecture, but it is still possible. As for the purpose...... It's not for anything good, it's for power. However, in Merlin's opinion, wizards are a kind of self-interested and altruistic creatures, and I am afraid that in this destruction, it is more because of some kind of treasure that can improve the strength of wizards, as for power...... It should be attached or taken as needed.
"Master, according to your wishes...... Are they for the treasure?" asked Augustus.
"Well, people die for money, and birds die for food. I think it's more likely that it's a treasure, but has that thing been obtained, or is it still in its place?"
Speaking of this, Merlin couldn't help but feel excited...... It's entirely possible!
The good thing that can destroy a large wizarding organization must be very rebellious, which reminds Merlin of the nebula in her mind.
And if you take 10,000 steps back, even if that treasure has been taken away by the survivors, there will definitely be some other valuable things left here...... Besides, she was inexplicable when she came in, and when she went out, if she didn't use the Crown of Retreat, she had to find her way out.
Moreover...... Merlene looked at the wizard's robes, and her eyes changed slightly.
That's a baby that has stood the test of time!
If there was no conflict of interest, Merlin would naturally not desecrate the deceased, but now...... Dust to dust, dust to dust, baby can't go with the dead corpse in front of him.
With a slight groan, a huge riding spear about three meters long appeared out of thin air, and the body of the gun was wrapped with thunder and lightning, making a sneering sound.
Second-level sorcery, thunder and fire riding spear!
If a robe looks new and useful in terms of practicality, it is not worth taking it off the dead man, although Merlin does not have any cleanliness habits, but it has to be worth the money.
Bang!
The thunderfire lance in mid-air shot towards the corpse, and a series of slight thunderbolts rang out in an instant, the light flashed, and the thunderfire lance had already bombarded the wizard's body!
Rumble!
A figure flew out and slammed into the fountain.
"Huh?"
Merlin snorted, "Looks like this dress is a good thing, Longbottom, you go and get that corpse here." ”
The flames flickered up and down the corpse's body, and although his hair and skin were damaged by the arc of electricity, the wizard's robe was undamaged, and it was indeed a good thing.
Although there was no water in the fountain pool, it was full of dead branches and rotten mud, but Merlin refused to go down, she asked Longbottom to go down and carry the body up, and she was a little anxious, leaning forward.
Just as Longbottom was climbing the stone staircase of the fountain pool, a burly figure suddenly rushed towards Merlin, and the huge double-edged battle axe roared and slashed down on Merlin's head, the axe blade was still in the air, and the golden wind had already stimulated Merlin's scalp to ache!
