Chapter 760: Convergence
Guided by the Necromancer's version of the event map, Titi returned to the ground level before the castle's exposed buildings cracked and collapsed.
"Thiago! Quiet! This way! β
Before he could discern the direction, Andre's shout came from the straight stone slab leading to the atrium, and Sidney spread his gray wings and flew beside him, and the two fellows waited in the corridor where the dome was cracked in half:
You must know that the higher you go, the more the castle shakes, and if the dust and ash flying from the ceiling of the castle below a hundred feet are just a small rain dripping, then the dome on this level of the ground is pouring rain accompanied by summer thunderstorms and ball lightning.
"What the hell, why don't you run out of here and stay here!"
Seeing them dodging around in the corridors where large ceilings and stone carvings fell from time to time, Lin An was crazy and wanted to curse.
"It's none of my business, Sidney wants to take the initiative to help his master fulfill his promise, but after we caught two gargoyles, we were tripped up by the rest!"
Seeing that they had returned safely, AndrΓ© replied happily in the flying sand, and Sidney's response was to fly out with a rub.
"Hey, Sidney! Wait for me! β
The few people did not stop running during the exchange, and rushed to the end of the straight, where the heavy castle gate had mysteriously opened, and the hinged iron wheel was stuck there.
Lin An glared at Andre in Titi's arms, and Andre pretended not to see it, and quickly stepped onto the decaying suspension bridge.
After everyone understood the creaking drawbridge, the necromancer, who was left behind and had his vision reversed, shouted, "Cut down the drawbridge!" β
Titi put down Lin An, turned around, and slashed the drawbridge with a sword.
He looked back again, but Lin An was no longer in place, and the black-haired boy he didn't like took advantage of such a small gap to turn around, and took the opportunity to take Lin An, who had not been able to cast a spell at this time, away, and ran away dozens of feet before reluctantly letting it go.
At this time, the black devil vine, which had been chasing them because of the breath of flesh and blood, rushed out of the city gate. There was also a thick gray and black negative energy fog gushing out, and the devil vine followed the smell and just rushed to the sky above the dry moat, and suddenly smoked as if it had been poured sulfuric acid, and the black vines shrank back as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
"What's in the air above the moat?"
Walking towards Lin An, he threw the spine he was holding in his hand into Andre's hand, Andre coldly held a skull with both hands, and screamed in surprise, and the necromancer in the whirlwind heard Lin An ask a question.
"It's the spores of Henice, and the teacher has made them into a special alchemy that has been fused into the stone of the castle. This alchemy was Henice's only weakness. That's the only way. Henice could not leave the castle and let its offspring multiply. β
Although Lin An still had a splitting headache, his thinking logic was not lowered, and he didn't believe the necromancer's words at all. With a glance, Andre had already tacitly raised his staff and brushed it on several people to detect toxins and cleanse them.
This kind of action is familiar in the eyes of the necromancer, and at the beginning in the ice field, Lin An was also so cautious and guarded that he couldn't find a trace of space.
"I see, isn't it used against foreign enemies? Lingshi is really confident! Lin An saw that the magic aura was normal, as if nothing happened.
The man who killed his teacher with his own hands was right in front of him. This sentence is undoubtedly ironic.
"Ninety percent of Henice's body is underground, and it was already dead when the teacher's soul fire was extinguished, and now it is only a plant-based instinctive activity, otherwise it is under the command and command of someone. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave unharmed, and at least these two mages won't survive. β
The necromancer remained calm.
Anyway, after transforming the undead, the fluctuations of mental power have been completely changed, coupled with his current dignity, although the female mage in front of him had been with him day and night when he was alive, it would be a miracle if she could still identify his identity now!
"I see, then this mutant devil vine is the strongest protection of the castle."
The outer wall of the castle was already densely crawled with vines at this time, the cracked castle was like a giant flower pot, and the flowers planted in it were undoubtedly hideous and destructive, Lin An was slightly startled when he heard that these exposed outer walls were only one percent of the entire volume of the devil vine.
As if verifying the necromancer's words, countless black vines stretched out into the sky with all their might, like a firework that spewed out thousands of fire tree silver flowers, and finally the black vines hung down weakly.
This time the light returned to the ground, and it became the last straw that crushed the castle.
As countless huge fissures stretched from the outer walls of the castle to the ground, the castle collapsed!
The black vines covering it were covered with the white smoke that had been poured with sulfuric acid before, and the negative energy leaking out of the cracks, the entire castle was enveloped in a thick smoke that blended with black and white.
Unexpectedly, the white smoke released by those devil vines after withering seemed to have a strong neutralizing effect on the negative energy, and the negative energy in the castle still leaked a lot, and all the grasslands where they passed became dead areas, and not even a single bird escaped.
But this range only shrouded a five-mile radius centered on the castle, which was much better than Lin An's original estimate that it would be like the aftermath of a small forbidden spell, which would at least turn a radius of fifty miles into a place where living beings could not enter.
"I didn't expect that an undead ** master who everyone in the world thought was a symbol of evil would even take this into account."
Although he is in a hostile position, Lin An still appreciates the environmental awareness of the undead ** master.
The simple leakage of negative energy has become this kind of process, and when you think of the devil vine cultivated by the undead ** master and the group of undead giant beasts, no matter which one runs out, it is foreseeable that it will be the result of the destruction of the soul.
"No, it's just that the teacher doesn't want to leave his legacy to anyone. He was already on the verge of promotion, having been preparing for nearly a hundred years, and if he failed to advance, the survival of the castle and his legacy would inevitably attract pretenders.
You have already seen the teacher's undead servants, for thousands of years, on the path of the necromancer to this level, I am afraid that there is only one teacher, even if other ** masters see such an inheritance, I am afraid that they will also have the urge to change to the undead to inherit his inheritance, especially those masters who are powerful and short-lived, I am afraid there will be no hesitation about this. β
Lin An nodded, don't say it's anyone else, the legacy of the undead ** master, who can be called a pseudo-legend, is a big temptation for her, not to mention that his inheritance also includes so many powerful undead beasts, mutated devil vines, the secret method of transforming the undead to obtain eternity, and the rare inheritance that may be promoted to the legendary realm.
"The teacher has long prepared for the possibility of a failed promotion, and the way he has sought for these legacies is to bring his life's achievements into an eternal slumber, leaving no one behind," said the necromancer calmly, "because among the people living in the world at this time, there is no longer any blood of the teacher, but there are many old enemies and enemies and descendants. β
Andre now understood the reason why the necromancer poured out without waiting for asking, and raised his eyebrows: "You think that if you say so, we will let you go?" β
If nothing else, Sidney's gaze staring at the necromancer's skull was already so hot that it was about to ignite.
He still has some sense, he knows the situation of the castle, it is impossible to run back, and the biggest insider is in front of him, even if he wants to rush back, it is better to have an inside line to guide than to blindly search.
"Of course not, and I'm lucky for that, after all, it means that my undead fire still has the value of continuing to beat." Only one spine remains, and the unyielding necromancer's jaw that is connected to the skull collides with the palate.
"I'm glad you're recognizing your worth, and if possible, don't rule out that your undead fire can keep beating - but gentlemen, it's time for us to go and join the rest of our companions."
Holding on to the headache, just to see the final outcome of the castle with her own eyes, and to preliminarily confirm whether the necromancer brought out is a poisonous snake, now that the two goals have basically been achieved, Lin An said that her energy has also reached the limit.
This time, guided by Titi, several people joined Salin and the others more than twenty miles southeast of the castle.
At the same time, they also met Simon's family, the caravan, and the mercenaries led by Barrow.
Due to the master-slave contract between Lin An and Athena, when Titi took her to escape from the castle, Lin An had already informed Athena and immediately asked Salin to take the people from the camp to transfer, and saw that the caravan and mercenary group were basically with Salin and them, obviously they made a wise decision at a critical time.
Of course, the caravan members led by Steward Brown were all crying, and the camp happened to be within the range of negative energy, and their cargo was undoubtedly finished.
There are also people who are happy and grateful to Dade.
Barrow and his men were well-informed, and judging from the deep and cold air of death, they were extremely lucky to escape this time.
During the period when Lin An and they didn't come out, the mercenaries wanted to persuade Barrow to lead the team away more than once, and behind the death qi with such a large influence range, there must be a strong man they couldn't provoke, if it wasn't for Barrow repeatedly confirming to Salin, they would have been hiding as far as they could.
As for Simon's family, they were the luckiest.
They were still surrounded by sweet sleep, and they did not expect that during their slumber, such a catastrophe had been spent outside.
"Don't be so weeping, my old fellow! On the bright side, if they were able to escape alive from the core of the dead air, the value of their friendship with them may not be lower than this shipment - if you report this matter, maybe your master will be rewarded! β
Barrow patted Brown's butler on the shoulder and comforted.
Brown thought about it too, and turned sadness into joy:
"That's right, such a disaster is also unavoidable for me, but fortunately this cargo is not precious! It's a pity that this business line has such a big piece of dead air blocking it, and I'm afraid there will be much fewer people going in the future. β
"I can't say for sure yet, I listen to the words of His Excellency Salin, as if I have to find a way to clear this dead air." Barrow Road.
