Chapter 179: Graveyard of the Dead, Break In
When Tsukizakura paced back next to Gamor, Gamore's mouth hadn't closed yet.
"Hey, my jaw is dropping. "Tsukizakura is in a good mood, good enough to joke - although it can't be seen from the outside.
Gamore pinched his chin with his hand, looking shocked, "I'm starting to believe a little bit that you went to assassinate General Orton." β
"I never lie. Tsukizakura disagreed.
ββ¦β¦ Well, the peculiarity of this illusion is actually in the graveyard, so I'll take you there. β
"How is it a cemetery?"
"Don't you know what happened to Her Highness the Princess here?" Garmor narrowed his eyes.
"It's a necromancer, isn't it? Looks like a ...... named Sarieri. His bone dragon is very powerful!" "It's really powerful, it's the master who can beat Tsukizakura and just lose it because of bad luck."
"Looks like you know something. At this time, Gamore was completely reassured, "Let's go, this cemetery is not big." β
As he walked, Gammor recounted the results of his explorations in Manhaas with his companions before the illusion appeared.
"When we entered the village, many of the inhabitants of the village had died, and some of them had become undead, and the rest of the villagers who were alive had been sent out, and they told me about the strange situation of the cemetery. β
"But when we were about to go down, this place suddenly became a fantasy, and the sudden loss of magic made us panic, but fortunately there was a magician in the team...... It was he who discovered some of the essence of this illusion, otherwise I would not be alive now. β
"What essence?"
"The reality that the magic is too heavy, and the monster's mode of action and causes. Gamor pointed to the village and said, "Those pus are actually liquid dark elements, and those dried corpses are actually possessed by elemental spirits, so no matter how you defeat them, the monsters will come back to life after a while...... After all, the elemental spirits are the essence of this world, Callido is immortal, and the elements are immortal. β
"And because they are elemental elves, they don't like to stay in places where their magic is insufficient, so there is a so-called safe zone. β
Gamor said a lot, but after listening to it, Tsukizakura carefully pretended to think for a while, and immediately replied, "It sounds amazing, but I don't understand!"
Gamore had nothing to say.
Fortunately, Gamor is not a narrow-minded person, otherwise he would definitely beat this Sakura's disobedient lord - although he can't win now.
He dutifully brought Tsukizakura to a tombstone where the person was buried had been dug up, revealing a dark hole. "Here we are, this is the entrance to that necromancer's base. β
"You dug up other people's graves?" Tsukizakura looked at Gamore with disgust.
"Of course it's not me! It's all said that this is the entrance to the base - and it's Her Royal Highness the princess and her team who dig it, and that's already the case when we came here!"
After venting, Gamore begins to soothe himself with "He's just a kid", after which he unloads his backpack and gives Tsukizakura a small package.
"Inside are some seven-colored stones, which glow when placed on the ground, and it is very dark underneath, and you can use this to guide the way. Gamor took out a small pebble and explained: "In addition, if you inject magic power, the seven-colored stone will also emit a relatively bright light, which can be used as lighting when necessary, I can't use magic now, so once you encounter an enemy, it's up to you." β
"Are there monsters down there, too?" Tsukizakura crouched at the entrance of the cave and looked down, but because there was no light, Tsukizakura couldn't see anything.
"It turns out that after all, it is the base of the necromancer, and there are no elves and his undead creatures. Garmor took out a lamp for lighting and hung it around his waist, "My companion died in it because he met a licker." β
"Are you going down too?" Tsukizakura asked immediately when she saw that Gamore was going to the entrance of the cave.
Gamor gave Tsukizakura a strange look and said, "Why don't I go down, and aren't you worried that I'll seal the hole after you go down alone?"
Now it's Tsukizakura's turn to be strange, "Why do you want to seal the entrance to the cave?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, until Garmore couldn't help but smile, "You're still ...... I really don't doubt people. β
Ignoring the question marks on Tsukizakura's head, Garmore beckoned and walked down first.
Under the entrance of the cave, it was indeed pitch black as Gamor said, and if Gamor hadn't brought the lamp, Tsukizakura wouldn't even know where to go.
Even if you use magic to enhance your eyesight, you can't see anything without a little light.
At that time, Tsukizakura was wondering, why didn't it feel inconvenient for that necromancer named Sarieri to live in such a place where he couldn't see anything?
After walking through a narrow path, a huge underground cavern suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and by the light, Tsukizakura could see a path carved into the cave wall that meandered down to the depths of the cave where there was no bottom to see.
On the walls of the cave there are lamp-like things, indicating that it was not completely dark before. The cavern had other entrances, and the muffled sound of the wind was coming from beneath the cavern.
"There was the voice of a monster. Tsukizakura keenly discerned the discordant sound from the wind.
Gamore moved out of the way, "You go first." β
"Okay. Tsukizakura was not polite, and went directly along the path on the cave wall, "If there is danger, you must run away immediately." β
"Of course, I don't want to die in a place like this. β
The two temporary teammates, who had reached an agreement, began to walk down the cave with an unknown future.
The cave β and the Lich's Lair β had traces of battle, some of which were larger, greatsword-like scratches that reminded Mooncherry of Ferdy, and that was a possibility, after all, Ferdy had really been there, and since there were enemies here, it was normal to leave traces.
I just don't know if it's his.
Soon, Tsukizakura encounters the first wave of enemies in the Lich's Lair: two skeletal archers standing on a high platform.
This kind of monster that doesn't need to rest or eat is obviously a good candidate for guarding, and the skeleton archer is also parasitized by the elemental elves, and the bow and arrow that shoots also carry the power of the dark element, in this place, it will be a good enemy who can cause trouble - it's a pity that Tsukizakura is now able to throw out sword energy, the nature of skeletons makes their defense very low, and after two sword swings, the world is clear.
ββ¦β¦ How old are you?"
Tsukizakura broke her fingers and thought about it, and replied, "14!"
"Okay...... Gammor turned his head and muttered in a low voice that his nearly 30-odd teammates wouldn't use sword energy.
Now, Gamor is completely convinced of Tsukizakura's story of fighting with the bone dragon and assassinating General OrtonβI don't know how he will react to learning that Tsukizakura has fought with a level 7 cultivator and survived.
Of course, Gamor could vaguely guess what kind of enemy Tsukizakura had fought with, after all, the idle people wouldn't let Tsukizakura become what she is now.
If both of them can go back alive, Gamor will probably advise Tsukizakur to choose the opponent she faces well, a good seedling with talent, who should not be consumed on too strong enemies, even if you have to rely on battle to break through, there must be a limit.
"Which side to choose?"
"Huh?"
They had already reached the bottom of the cave, relying on the activity of the moon cherry blossoms, the enemies along the way did not cause any trouble, and now what appeared in front of the two of them was a fork in the road,
Gammor recalled, then pointed to the fork in the road on the right and said, "Last time I chose the left, but there was nothing there except a giant corpse. β
Tsukizakura blinked, "Your companion died at the hands of that enemy?"
ββ¦β¦ That's right. β
After hearing Gamor's confirmation, Tsukizakura immediately walked to the left.
"Wait!
"Go kill that giant corpse. β
ββ¦β¦ Why?"
"That's your companion's enemy, of course you have to take revenge. β
"But it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to-" Garmor shook his head and said, "The most important thing is to solve the situation of the illusion, as soon as the illusion disappears, presumably all the monsters here will destroy themselves, and there is no need to spend more energy to deal with the optional enemies." β
Needless to say, the undead here are all recruited by the necromancers themselves, and without a master, the undead will either act on their own grievances or will self-destruct due to the loss of their source of magic - most of the undead will go the latter way.
As for the undead in the Plains of Frost, they are a special case.
"It's none of my business, I just want to do it. Yueying ignored Gamore's dissuasion and walked directly into the left fork, "And if you want to take revenge, of course it's better to do it yourself." β
What Tsukizakura said made sense, making Garmor powerless to refute.
