Chapter 788: Choice

The fog soon flooded all the space on all sides of them, and they could barely see anything but the boat they were in and the water within a foot of the boat's edge.

Fortunately, when Lin An noticed that the fog was getting thicker, they used ropes to connect the boats with slender ropes, and the fog did not isolate the sound, and they could judge the direction of the other three boats based on the sound of talking and the clear sound of plucking oars.

But their perception was suppressed a lot, Andre and they could sense movement of about thirty feet, while Lin An was fifty feet.

Obviously, the higher the mental power, the stronger the suppression of the mystery.

Boatswain Hunter and a few ordinary people could hear the movement of a fish jumping out of the sea within the fog seven or eight feet away.

Anything can happen inside the lock, and now that the effect of suppressing perception has been achieved, the rope may not be able to guarantee that other ships will not be unwittingly left behind.

While Lin An tied the rope, he also stopped discussing the law of confusion, and let Andre, Salin, and Sidney each get on a small boat, and each of them made their own secret method marks on four boats, and the fluctuation of the protective magic circle on each ship is undoubtedly the clearest indicator of perception.

The fog was so thick that it was impossible to see the road ahead, which was a great horror for ordinary people, but when several mages got on the boat separately, the rowing sailors calmed down a lot.

They had seen the endless spells of Lin An and others, and the poor mages in the army who only relied on their military salaries and benefits to save money to buy spell books, it was not the same level.

Lin An and several mages were communicating with their hearts.

"These dense fogs seem to be mainly aimed at spiritual power and perception, and there is no suppression of magic and spell effects, no effects such as corrosion and weakness." Saleen had completed his initial reconnaissance of his surroundings and released several Eyes of Scouting.

"Ann, are you still keeping up with your calculations?" Andre told Lin An another calculation and asked in the interval.

"Well, that's fine at the moment." Lin An replied while calculating and correcting the path.

The observation on the periphery cannot be completely correct, after entering the dense fog, Lin An needs to modify the calculation parameters and even formulas according to the perceived energy flow, and fine-tune the direction of the spell aura from time to time, sometimes it can't be calculated, and he has to ask Sidney and Andre to help calculate some formulas.

But perhaps because of the changes in the star orbit, there are a large number of loopholes in the energy cycle of this maze lock, and it is no longer as difficult to find and crack the loopholes as it was when the masked lock was complete, the path that Lin An guided is obviously correct, and the most obvious proof is that so far, except for the fog, they have not encountered any other dangers.

The quiet voyage lasted for about a half-magician.

With the blessing of the brute bull, the rowing sailors did not feel tired, as if the feeling of the seemingly endless power in the body was very fresh and very hard.

"Slow down and be ready to stop when I tell you to stop!"

In the fog not far away, the sailors suddenly heard the voice of the female mage.

The female mage, who was the guide and leader of the trip, was the equivalent of a part-time navigator, and the sailors, who followed the rules of the sea with their lives, immediately slowed down their rowing speed without the instructions of the mage behind them.

"The first node has arrived." Lin An's prompt came again.

If it is possible, Lin An hopes to crack the guò and find a path that completely leads to the guò mystery lock loophole, but the destruction of the mystery lock is not complete enough, and some energy cycles are still intact, Lin An calculated several paths, but they can't bypass this node, realizing that this is obviously the only way to enter.

Sure enough, not long after the four boats slowed down, the depths of the fog suddenly rolled up.

A large area of water mist avoided on both sides, revealing the long-shielded sea surface in the sight of Lin An and the others, and more fog converged above the sea surface in front of them:

First the thick, craggy gray-white spine, the short, thick lower limb bones, the skeletal skull that leaned downward, then the thick and long tail, the barbed wings of the bat's wing spread out in the air, and the huge open mouth was full of pale and hideous teeth, indicating that it was not a vegetarian in its lifetime.

Finally, the dark red light in the empty eye hole flashed twice, and the bone dragon composed of mist seemed to have come from eternity and slowly came to its senses.

[Who is it that awakens the guardian of the Land of the Dead, the great Arrantos. Jim Dean. Simms........ Pondolari. Kira. Yelivsky? 】

Before the bone dragon composed of mist was formed, the huge dragon power had already made the sailors on the other three ships faint without snorting.

However, Boatswain Hunter held on for a while under the protection of Lin An's mental power, and barely saw the huge body of the white bone dragon in the sky, and jumped directly into the sea without making a sound, but fortunately, Lin An grabbed him with his mental power, and a stun technique knocked him out.

But it was precisely because Lin An could still cast spells under this huge dragon power that the eyes of the Mist Spirit Bone Dragon swept over a group of insect-like creatures in its eyes and focused on Lin An.

"Your Excellency the Guardian, we are the living from beyond the Land of Return......"

The undead have an instinctive hatred for the living, and if Lin An wasn't sure that it was a mist spirit in the shape of a bone dragon—maybe it was once a dragon, then a bone dragon, and then even a skeleton—she wouldn't be so straightforward about her identity.

[So, you killed the last cleaner in the Land of Death, the one named Adoria Necromancer?] 】

Lin An was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the undead archmage was originally this identity here, but the information he got from the skull mage was indeed called Adoria.

So Lin An admitted.

【…… Then, according to the contract of the undead, the person who killed him must take over the duties he left behind. 】

The Mist Spirit Bone Dragon said lifelessly, and with a wave of its huge bone claws, three gray mist whips emerged from the void and shot towards the boat.

Two of them were headed towards Lin An and Titi, and the last one unexpectedly broke the crystal jar that Lin placed on the ship, leaving only one skull mage to be curled up.

The gray fog whip suddenly retracted before it touched Lin An.

Titi also swung his sword and blocked the gray fog whip back, and the fog whip was like an unresponsive tentacle, and after being knocked back a few feet, it did not continue to pursue, and stopped in the air.

Only the skull mage did not react, and was swept into the air by the gray mist whip, and the soul fire flashed fiercely in his eyes.

[According to the contract, the three of you have a causal thread to kill Adoria, but, female human, I don't like the breath on your body, and you are stripped of your qualifications for inheritance.] 】

Cause and effect line?

Lin An felt something.

The Mist Spirit Bone Dragon slowly announced, its hollow eyes slowly moving between Titi and the Bone Mage, stopping at Titi.

【Living, would you like to inherit the duties left by Adoria?】 】

Compared to the bone mage with weak breath, the Mist Spirit Bone Dragon is more eye-catching to Titi.

But the jaw of the bone mage, who was swept up in the gray mist, clicked: "The land of the dead, only the dead can enter. ”】

Lin An suddenly understood, and said hurriedly in his spirit: ["Don't agree, Titi, inheriting this responsibility may be transformed into an undead! ”】

Titi looked at Lin An, but did not immediately reject the Mist Spirit Bone Dragon, and turned his head to look at the Bone Mage.

Lin An understood what Titi meant.

They fell for the calculations of the bone mage.

The reason why the Bone Mage didn't resist all the way and let them seal it was obviously because he knew that they would come to this island sooner or later, and he could take this opportunity to break away from Lin An's control.

Lin An didn't know what the Bone Mage wanted from the Land of the Dead, but it was obvious that it must be of great benefit to the undead, otherwise there would be no need for the Bone Mage to draw the sea chart here.

Far across the ocean, even if the bone mage escapes the castle intact, he must be careful to remain incognito.

After he left the castle and lost the protection of the archmage, it was already extremely difficult for him to be unnoticed as a necromancer, and he had to save money to go to sea and find the island, and I don't know what year and month it would take, maybe before his identity was exposed, and there was no place to bury.

But when the chart is released, no matter whether it is an uninformed person like the Holy See or Lin An, there is a high chance that he will try his best to find the island described in the chart, and the bone mage can use what he knows, just like he tempted Lin An and the others before, to let them keep him temporarily.

Then when faced with the inquiry of the Mist Spirit Bone Dragon, whether it is the Holy See or others, they will obviously face the situation of having to let him get the inheritance, otherwise they will be forcibly transformed into undead.

And after choosing a successor, the bone mage will probably be brought into the island immediately, so his safety is also guaranteed.

This strategy can not be described as unscrupulous, one link after another, starting from the design of the Death Archmage, this bone mage has already found his own way out, and he has calculated step by step.

Lin An had to admit that she had underestimated this bone mage, and she had not been aware of it before, probably because he had not designed to frame them, and Lin An's premonition would not work.

However, things have come to this point, it is useless to regret it, Lin An can kill the bone mage immediately, and the fog spirit bone dragon probably won't react to this, but the contract in the mouth of the fog spirit bone dragon will obviously fall on Titi.

The contract that can bind an undead archmage will certainly not be simple, Lin An is not sure if there is a solution in the information left by the guards, since this is the case, of course she will not let Titi take the risk.

Titi said a few words to Lin An.

Lin An's eyes lit up slightly, and he glanced at Titi a little strangely, and after thinking about it, he nodded to him.

She then used teleportation to say a few words to Sidney, who thought for a moment and nodded without hesitation.

Sidney nodded, Lin An nodded, and the aura of flying magic lit up from him, and Titi immediately made a move, and with a wave of his sword, he broke the gray mist that wrapped the bone mage.
