Volume 1: The Poem of Departure Chapter 31: The Frozen Siren
Unexpectedly, the sealing chamber is actually quite large.
It's hard to see the inside of the chamber clearly from the narrow passageway, but once you step out of the passage, the scene changes suddenly. This sealing chamber can be called a hall, with a height of ten meters above the head, a width of more than two hundred meters on the left and right, and a depth of about two hundred meters. There were no runes on the walls of the hall, but Delkora could feel the power of the fire elemental that had not yet escaped on it, and the walls on the upper and lower left and right were undoubtedly enhanced by the magic patterns, but all the magic patterns had been broken, and Del Kora couldn't tell what kind of them were. In the center of the hall was a throne of ice, and the water vapor was constantly evaporated, but it was absorbed by the magic circle around the throne, and re-condensed into ice to replenish the throne - this magic array was incompatible with the magic pattern circle of the entire Fish Head Peak, and the style was a strange style that Del Cora had never seen in his magic pattern class, but the way it was constructed could not help but remind people of waves and storms.
On the Ice Throne, a strange man sleeps—no, a merfolk. His upper body is human-like, but the body is blue-black, with a withered body and dry black hair growing upwards in short lengths. His face is ordinary in terms of human aesthetics, with a suspicious gills on both cheeks, and no fish whiskers. From the lower abdomen downward, the human body gradually transitioned into a thick blue fish tail, with thick and tight scales, but gray because of lack of water, and the veins on the tail fin almost became an exoskeleton, and the roots were like stabbing like swords. A huge trident is stuck diagonally next to the fish-man.
And this dried fish...... The fish-man, if the tail is straightened, is estimated to be three meters long!
The Kraken's chest was still heaving, albeit very slowly, but the sharp-eyed Delkora noticed it.
"It doesn't seem like you're lying to me, it's a real kraken, alive. Delkora muttered, pulling his sword from his rib cage and striking the ground.
There was a lot of movement, and there was an echo in the hall. But the Kraken on the throne had no idea of waking up.
"Wake up, I'm here to save you!"
Delkora wanted to shout twice, but the skeletal undead had no vocal cord structure, and the fish-man undead couldn't do anything but make a bone-rubbing sound.
Del Cora realized that he had made a mistake - all the preparations he made were basically based on the idea that the other party was rescued directly by a good person, or the other party was killed directly by a bad person, but he didn't consider the situation that the other party hadn't completely woken up, so he didn't prepare any communication measures at all. The embarrassing thing is that although Del Cora is manipulating the undead, he is now unusually awake, he has not entered a meditative state or slept soundly, and Mocarus does not even have the possibility of invading his spirit world and communicating with him.
"What to do......" Delkora opened his eyes and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"What's wrong?" the two people on standby hurriedly asked.
"Ah...... I made a stupid mistake. Delkora's voice was embarrassed, "It's a sleeping kraken down there, but I don't have any communication tools with me...... And the bones of the undead cannot speak. ”
"He's still sleeping, can you invade his psychic space?"
"To be honest, I don't dare, even if he is sleeping now, it is impossible for me to succeed with my strength, and he is already on the verge of collapse, God knows what will happen if he rashly contacts his spiritual power. Delkora shook her head, "He's in the process of awakening himself, and he's surrounded by a circle of magic I don't know - to be honest, if it's just the fish-man undead there, I wouldn't dare interfere with it." ”
"You mean, you're going down?" Satya guessed his intentions.
"To be honest, he's pretty much proven his sincerity," Delkora shrugged, "there's a Siren Tide Caller lying there, and it's really sleeping, my undead are already in front of him, and really, if I destroy the unknown magic array that protects him now, he'll be able to turn into a grilled fish in no time - and he hasn't attacked my undead yet." ”
"Maybe he just can't do anything," Assas thought for a moment, "but in that case, we might be safer." ”
"Mainly, Mocaros told me he needed water, and I didn't know what that magic circle meant before I saw it, but now I almost understand. Delkoramo rubbed his chin and flipped through his spatial ring, "It's okay, you can bring enough hedron with you when you go out." ”
"If you're sure it's not dangerous, it's good to go down and take a spin," Satya agreed, this time shaking off the ash from her body, but more ash fell on her in a flutter.
"I've had enough – at least there's no dirt down there. ”
"But uh, the temperature down there is a bit high - I'm going to maintain a thermostatic spell. Delkora sighed, "The little mental power I have left is really running out. Thankfully, I didn't have to fight afterwards. ”
After that, the three of them still relied on the light body technique and the feather fall technique to descend to the entrance of the cave, and the temperature that was enough to make ordinary people's skin blister was offset by a large part of the thermostatic spell constructed by Del Kola, although the temperature was still high, but at least it could be accepted by the three teenagers. Still moving quickly along the passage, Delkora occasionally switched his vision, and from the perspective of the fish-man undead, neither the Ice Throne nor the Mocaros on it had changed, but the magnitude of Moccaros' chest seemed to have increased a little.
Knowing that the energy of death itself is sensitive to the living, Del Cora understands that this is not a delusion, but a sign that Moccarus' body is gradually awakening. It is estimated that Mokaros is preoccupied with this matter, whether he is busy speeding up the awakening or suppressing the awakening, he should not have the energy to have a spiritual exchange with Del Cora now.
The fish-man undead had cleared some of the obstacles all the way forward, and there was no restriction on the fire element passage, and the three of them soon came to enter the sealing hall. The temperature in the hall seemed to be slightly cooler than outside, but the view was still gradually scorching rocks and ashes. In this reddish-brown scene, the aqua blue Ice Throne is undoubtedly the most unique scenery.
And it warmed up the three people who were very hot mentally......
"Oh my God, maintain a water elemental circle on the magma lake?" Satya was the first to exclaim, "And it looks like it's going to last for a thousand years?Mocarus, this Siren's level isn't much lower than this sealer, right?"
"No, this isn't a water elemental circle, it's an ice elemental circle. Delkora shook her head, "Maintaining the Ice Elemental Circle requires not only a sufficient amount of water elementals, but also the ability to control temperature - maintaining an ice throne in a place like a crater, and having the three-state cycle of water form an internal cycle for a thousand years...... Must be a holy order. I'm sure the Archmager can't do that. ”
This sentence brought a long silence.
"We ...... Is it really saving a Holy Order?" Even the calm Assas had some difficulty in saying this, "The creator god is on ......"
"It's like a plot in a novel...... And it's the lowest, illogical fantasy novel that would only be written," Satya shook her head, thinking about it, and couldn't help but shake her head, "A team of only three oak-level mercenaries broke the seal of a thousand years ago and rescued a Holy Order? Oh my God......"
"But the truth is often illogical and unreasonable," Delcora laughed, "and, all the time, you have been educating me that we are no ordinary mercenaries...... There is something wrong with your feelings. ”
Assas: "......"
Satya: "......"
There is no doubt that the Throne of Ice is maintained by this circular magic circle around Mocarus, which not only locks the internal water element from draining, but also maintains the extremely low temperature inside to ensure that the Ice Throne does not melt. Del Cora suspects that Mocaros must have used the extremely low temperature to activate some of his hibernation talents, allowing himself to fall into a state of suspended animation to slow down his metabolism - this suspicion is valid, because there are indeed many fish that rely on their talents to survive the winter, which may be the real reason why Mocaros did not die for a thousand years.
"He's waking up," Satya judged with just one glance, and the shadow vision allowed her to "see" some vague information: "The body temperature is rising, the breathing intensity and heart rate are increasing, and the energy is beginning to circulate in the body...... Is this a melee professional?"
Only melee professionals have a circulation of energy in their body, which protects and strengthens their body. Magic professionals only develop mental power, and they use mental power to construct the extracorporeal circulation of elements, which is also a relatively clear demarcation.
"The Kraken can be a dual cultivator of the Demon and Martial Arts, after all, this is a race that is naturally highly friendly to the water element, and learning water element magic is much faster than that of humans. Delkora didn't have any doubts, "Many high-level demonic beasts with innate elemental affinities are in the dual cultivation mode of magic and martial arts, but they definitely have a bias, just like the Nightblade Leopard, although it can release wind blades and shadow spells, it is still mainly melee running. Since this Mocarus was able to construct a Saint-Order Magic Array, his main preference was definitely magic. As for the melee class level...... Silver Warriors? Gold Warriors at the top. It's nothing, melee classes are all canned meat, and it's useless to learn that. ”
"You're slandering...... And jealousy," Assas shook his head helplessly, "Because you can't dual-cultivation of magic and martial arts yourself, so you look down on the strong of melee profession and dual cultivation of demonic martial arts?"
"What's so good about the Demon Martial Dual Cultivation? Aren't you just going to be able to put a small fireball yourself?"
"That's because I'm so focused on knighthood—and, you're a little annoyed, Del Kora. ”
"No!
"Shut up, Del Kora! It was a roar from Satya that pulled Delcora back on track.
"Nothing to see...... We just have to wait," Del Cola instantly regained his serious appearance, rubbing his chin, "he can wake himself up, all we need to do is provide him with some basic protection so that he can regain some strength and keep getting out of the crater." ”
"So we're just going to wait?"
"Just waiting—ah no, I still have some preparations. ”
