Chapter 124: Meeting

The huge airship, like a dark cloud, obscures the morning sun. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The bottom of the airship shows a blurred figure. The figure uttered a loud voice: "We are the apostles of His Highness the Lich King. Prince Derrick worships the Temple of Flames and worships false gods. We have sent down punishment according to the command of the Holy Lord. All innocent citizens, please return to the house quickly to avoid accidental injury to ......"

The airship slowly lowered, making the figure on the ground even more flustered: "Last reminder, please hide in the house for all unrelated personnel to avoid accidentally injuring ......"

The airship hovered, and it was only less than a hundred meters above the ground.

A portal that resembles a large gate frame slowly descends to the ground. The portal is a cube with a side length of about three meters, with only four walls and no front and back sides. The stone walls on the four sides of the portal are about twenty or thirty centimeters thick.

The portal descends into a secluded area, and bubbles appear and expand inside the door. The bubbles are curved and seal the front and back sides of the stone frame.

The bubbles vibrate, and the figure of a ghoul emerges. The ghoul walked slowly, followed by a wizard.

One after another, every time one or two ghouls come out of the portal, they are bound to be followed by a wizard. The ghouls that appear on the streets are not controlled by Du Shen, but by the wizards who follow the ghouls.

The wizard who got out of the portal didn't go too far. They waited for a while, and waited until they had gathered ten men before they left. These wizards all have refining ghouls. They opened the way with more than twenty ghouls and swept through the city.

Along the way, if the wizards come across a figure with a weapon, they will lead the ghouls and then hide behind them to sneak up on them with sorcery. With the combination of the two, the wizards are invincible even in the face of dozens or hundreds of enemies.

Darek is only a secular lord after all. He also has a subordinate of the Transcendent, but it is basically confined to the vital area. Compared to the temple, Du Shen didn't need to be too cautious. This time, Du Shen led the entire Black Blade Legion, intending to train troops. Of course, Du Shen also received large benefits from Yakov.

Darik is very powerful, and he does collect many knights and knights under his command. These strong men are invincible in the face of ordinary people, and they are only equal to the ghouls. Du Shen used 3,000 wizards to enlist more than 5,000 ghouls. With a total of more than 8,000 soldiers, they can basically level the entire city.

Du Shen's primary goal against wizards was to plunder all kinds of treasury. Bump into the resisters along the way, and the wizards will destroy them by the way.

Of course, Du Shen is looking for revenge on Derik, but he can't deliberately target the other party's vital forces, so as not to be too cheap Yakov.

The targets that Du Shen chose to attack were all relatively ordinary cities. There were garrisons and warehouses inside and outside the city, but there were not many real powerhouses. Therefore, Du Shen used the portal to throw the Black Blade Legion everywhere and wreak havoc.

For more than a month, Du Shen plundered everywhere without strong resistance. The Blackebon is getting more and more sophisticated. Du Shen gradually let go, allowing the wizards to independently plan and attack the new city.

Almost half of Derrick's territory was attacked, and the airship's plan to attack the city began to be hindered. First, Derrick sent a large group of transcendents to chase the airship, and later the powerhouses of the Templars not only joined, but also ambushed in some cities.

Fortunately, Du Shen was cautious, and after burying several wizards, he terminated the training plan in time. The pursuit and ambush of the temple yielded little fruit.

After stopping looting supplies, Du Shen led the airship to show off his might. He walked through the entire territory of Darek. This is when the shift to the northeast is turned.

In the following time, Du Shen traveled through the Thunder Empire and entered the sphere of influence of the Flame Temple. At first, Du Shen sat in charge of the airship and let the wizards plan and attack the new city on their own. After several successes in a row, Du Shen saw that the temple failed to snipe, and he completely let go.

Sometimes, Du Shen left the airship directly and did not return for three or five days. The wizards on the airship, following Du Shen's instructions, attacked the city one after another. Their primary purpose was to undermine the prestige of the temple. In the spirit of prudence, the airship and the wizard who landed always came and went, but basically avoided casualties.

Time passed slowly. The Black Blade was divided into two squads, taking turns flying in airships to attack the chapel and eliminate the Templars' subordinates. Du Shen mainly focuses on the improvement of his own strength, and also cooperates with Mario to improve the transformation and control of ghouls.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year and a half since I came out of the secret realm of time. Du Shen's attributes improved and fell into a bottleneck again. On the one hand, it is the level where Du Shen's attributes are on the verge of being upgraded. On the other hand, it was also the high-energy food and potions in Du Shen's hands, which were exhausted.

Using elemental flames to refine pseudo-divine power was too slow, far less efficient than Du Shen's digestion of high-energy elixirs. It's a pity that Du Shen's appetite is too big, and the material reserves of Shadow Castle have been squeezed dry by him. In the short term, due to the shortage of materials, Shadow Castle is afraid that it will not be able to provide Du Shen with potions. And Yakov, after several previous big transactions, is now also complaining about Du Shen. He claimed that the national strength was lacking, and there were no more high-energy potions to provide to Du Shen.

On this day, Du Shen was meditating, carefully recalling the memories of his previous life, hoping to find a new opportunity and continue to improve his strength quickly.

Before he could find a clue, Mario arrived with a shattered crystal ball. Mario showed Du Shen the crystal ball that was split into several petals: "This is the contact crystal you gave me for safekeeping. Just now, someone from the Arcane Brotherhood contacted you. They said that six stone tablets had been put together. They asked you to meet you in Purple Rock City. ”

Contact crystals, once activated, can only deliver messages within a few minutes. After that, it will be completely destroyed. Because Du Shen frequently traveled back and forth between the airship and the Death Ridge, he felt that it was inconvenient to carry it, so he handed over the contact crystal to Mario for safekeeping. And if the crystal is stored in the pendant, when the other party contacts, Du Shen can't sense the reminder of the crystal.

At this time, Du Shen heard the news delivered by Mario, and was shocked and worried: "We seem to underestimate the strength of the Secret Law Brotherhood. In just over a year, they've already assembled the stele! When did they agree to meet?"

"A month later," Mario tossed the scrapped crystal aside, "I said, what the hell is the stele for?"

Du Shen turned a deaf ear and thought to himself. To be honest, in Du Shen's heart, the worry is greater than the surprise. Although he hoped that the Brotherhood would gather the stone tablets as soon as possible, he was also worried that his own strength would not be enough to cope with the situation in the future.

According to Du Shen's memory, the collection of stone tablets was at least twenty years earlier than in the previous life. According to Du Shen's speculation, he originally thought that it would take several years for the Brotherhood to collect the stone tablets.

Now that the Brotherhood has gathered the stone tablets early, some of Du Shen's earlier behaviors seem unnecessary. And his own strength seems to be unprepared.

Du Shen secretly hesitated: "Do you want to delay the time?"

Du Shen couldn't help but check his attributes again: strength 25, physique 25, agility 22, intelligence 24, spirit 28.

The higher the strength, the more difficult it is to improve. Du Shen estimated that even if he managed to obtain enough potions, he would not be able to increase his average attribute by 5 points in three years. If you don't increase your stat by 5 points, you won't be able to significantly improve your future situation.

"Do you want to wait longer?" Du Shen quickly shook his head. His current presence was enough to attract the attention of the Temple. With the constraints of the temple, Du Shen estimated that the future development would become more and more difficult.

Du Shen quickly made up his mind. He decided to take a risk.

Mario saw Du Shen come back to his senses and pleaded pitifully, "Let me go with you, right?" ”

Du Shen shook his head: "There's no need." Purple Rock City is not far from the Death Ridge. A month was enough time for me to walk there. You hurry up and perfect your plan to transform the ghouls. Later, I will naturally take you to witness the true role of the stele. ”

Mario was unwilling, fought for it, and had no choice but to leave.

On the same day, Du Shen left the Ridge of Death alone. With his physical attributes at this time, he went straight over the mountains and mountains, but it was faster than riding a horse and walking the avenue.

The main reason for the hike is to promote the improvement of agility attributes. Du Shen found that compared to other attributes, the growth of agility was particularly slow. He couldn't help but suspect that it was because he spent most of his time digesting energy at rest, and his body lacked the stimulation of exercise.

In less than a month, Du Shen arrived in Ziyan City. He didn't go to visit Yakov either, so he found a secluded place to wait quietly.

That night, Du Shen came to the edge of the cemetery under a certain hill as agreed. The moon rose, and several figures ran from the top of the hill.

Du Shen stood quietly and waited, looking at the six figures in the graveyard. Most of the connectors of the Brotherhood use robes and cloaks to cover their bodies tightly, making it difficult to see each other. Only the man who walked at the front showed his face generously.

Six figures walked through the graveyard to Du Shen. The leader greeted with a smile: "In Nizhny Powa, the vice president of the brotherhood." It's an honor to meet the rumored Lich King. ”

Du Shen replied: "I heard that you have collected six ancient stone tablets. Can you let me test it first?"

Powa shook his head with a smile: "Your Highness, your request is abrupt. The value of the stele must be not small. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so important. We don't dare to hand it over to you until we know its true value. ”

Du Shen said calmly: "Are you sure that the stone tablets that you have won are all real, and will they not be forged by later generations?"

"Don't worry," Powa nodded steadily, "We have gone through strict comparison and inspection, and we are sure that the stone tablet we have succeeded in is of the same material, style, and manufacturing age, and it is difficult to be fake! If it weren't for ......"

Du Shen waved his hand impatiently: "That's also your ability." Presumably, you have already guessed the true purpose of the stele, and yes, the stele is the key to open an ancient treasure house. You've restored the location of the treasure house, right?"

Poire hesitated slightly, but said truthfully, "We have restored most of the maps, but we have only guessed the approximate location of the treasure trove. It seems to be near the city of Tia in the north?"

Du Shen nodded: "I know the specific location of the treasure house." I can take you there. A month later, we met at Coloured Pebble Beach outside Tia. Don't waste my time. After speaking, Du Shen turned around and left. He ignored Powa's cries and inquiries, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the night.
