Chapter 811: To the Ice Field
"The first layer of the Dead Soul Orb, we have unlocked it!"
When Salin saw Lin An's first face, he said this to her.
Lin An was not overjoyed, she had already retreated from her subordinates before, and she was vigilant about her senses, and when she heard this, she still released a soundproof barrier before she said:
"Dead Soul Orb? Is that what you gave the pearl its name? ”
"No, this is the name of the necromancer archmage, from the time we unlocked the first seal on it, we got the preliminary information about it after verification." Salin replied.
"What's the catch?" Lin An hurriedly asked.
"I am seventy or eighty percent sure of the principle of the undead transformation circle that we came into contact with before we left the ice field, and I can analyze it with the help of magic beads, but I haven't touched the transformation circle of the ice and snow undead in the back, so I can't be sure-according to the principle obtained from the current analysis, it involves a deeper evolution of the rune and the structure of the magic circle, and even Sidney is not sure."
Lin An was slightly disappointed, but also understood that in a short period of time, only Saleen and Sidney could do this and had done their best.
The Dead Soul Law Bead is too dangerous to fall into the hands of others, otherwise even if the demon race is wiped out, this continent may still suffer from the undead natural disaster one day, so it can't even let more people know about it, which restricts their need for research manpower.
"So based on what has been obtained now, can we be sure that the Holy See has obtained the principle of transforming the undead magic circle from the hands of this necromancer archmage?" Lin An asked.
"I'm 100% sure," Salin raised an eyebrow, "because you guessed right, this Dead Soul Orb was indeed intentionally left by the Necromancer Archmage, and after unlocking the first layer, we still fell into the illusion he had reserved, and we almost didn't pass the death test, and were transformed into undead - fortunately, you reminded us that this Necromancer may have been inherited from an ancient magic dynasty and may have similar habits, so we were prepared for it." ”
Salin's face changed slightly, as if he was haunted by the experience, and after a moment he continued:
"And after the examination, we were recognized, and we received a message from the Necromancer, in which the message told us that since we are mages, the ease of the verification is only for the necromancer and the necromancer, if it is a priest, it will be 100% dead under the examination of the Dead Soul Orb, and there will not even be any remnant of the soul."
When a normal cleric sees an evil item, it will only destroy it immediately, and only a clergyman who knows the inside story and covets the true value of the Death Soul Orb will go to great lengths to break the seal of the Death Soul Orb.
From this, it can be determined that the demon race's undead transformation circle is definitely from the Holy See, and the principle in the hands of the Holy See is from the undead archmage.
They may have cooperated closely because of their interests, and even a thriving empire perished under their conspiracy, but the clergy and the mage are mortal enemies after all, and the incognito behind the undead archmage, and the fact that he did not forget to dig a hole for the Holy See until his death is the greatest proof.
"Are you sure you can unlock the next seal?"
First ordinary undead, then ice and snow undead, Lin An couldn't be sure how many cards the Holy See had given to the demons, but he knew that they had to run ahead of the demons or even the Holy See.
In this race, one of their biggest advantages is the revenge of the undead archmage against the Holy See before his death - if Lin An was him, he would never give the real hole cards to the Holy See, but it is likely that in order to retaliate, he left the key to stab the Holy See in the Dead Soul Orb for the latecomers; The second is that the Holy See has not yet learned of the existence of the Dead Soul Orb, which makes it possible for them to steal and preemptively contain the demon army before it sets foot in the territory of the human race.
But the latter advantage is slowly disappearing:
The Necromancer prepares the Necro Orb for him after his death, he hates the Holy See, but he also has a natural hatred for the dead, for him the whole world is completely extinct after his death, or it is better to be occupied by the army of the undead and transformed into the undead plane, for this reason even to break the lock of the place of death, even if no one comes to find the Necro Orb, the undead on that island will sooner or later be put into this plane, which makes the entire human race anxious;
Even if Lin An released the news to other forces, it was just to quench his thirst and postpone the time of the earth of return, and this move also led to another drawback, that is, the Holy See would know the existence of the place of death in advance, and thus deduce the dead soul bead in Lin An's hand.
"With me and Sidney, or plus you and Andre, I'm afraid we still won't be able to unlock the second layer of seals, unless we are given more manpower and resources, or we personally go to the ice field and use those ice and snow undead to carry out the realization, it may be useful." Saleen Road.
Salin replied on the premise that the seal must be lifted in the shortest possible time, and Lin An naturally knew how scarce time was for them, so he did not hesitate to clappe: "Let's go to the ice field, immediately." ”
After she finished speaking, she paused and asked, "How is Sidney doing?" ”
"It looks normal on the outside, except for a little gaffe when I just learned the news, and then I still put my heart and soul into it."
Saleen hesitated, and finally didn't tell him a small anomaly he noticed, Sidney was more strict than him when he was subjected to the death test of the Dead Soul Orb before, which was logically abnormal for the necromancer, but Sidney threw himself into the real yàn again the next day, so this could be Sidney's own secret and privacy.
What mage doesn't have a little secret and hole cards? Sidney is a follower of Lin An, and Lin An may not be unaware.
The senseless talking, maybe like the last time Angelia happened, will make Lin An unhappy - her impression of him is bad enough.
……
Deep in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, two towers combined to form an inverted V-shaped mage tower hidden in the depths of the cloud and mist cliffs, in a poorly furnished room, there was only a table and a bed left between the empty walls, not even a chair, obviously a confinement room to punish apprentices.
André sat on the edge of the bed with a bird's nest, his mage robe wrinkled like dried seaweed, emitting the smell of sweat, and he spread his legs and opened the letter in his hand.
"Ann is going to the Ice Field? Does she care about this? ”
"Stupid boy, haven't you been weaned? Within two days of my return, I heard the name of the female mage who had fascinated you a hundred and eighty-seven times—Teacher, I had worked so hard to raise you, and in your mind, I was no match for a little girl! ”
The angry rebuke rumbled in the confinement room, and came out of nowhere, and Andrei jumped up and pointed in one direction and cursed, as if in front of him was the old face that was not repaired:
"Dead old man, voyeur, do you dare not eavesdrop on the sounds of the confinement chamber? Disturbing someone else's love will be cursed - oh, I forgot, where will an old virgin who has been single for hundreds of years understand how to get along with girls, with your respect, when you are young, I am afraid that there will be no female mage who can look up to you! ”
"Those women who scratch their heads and don't know what to call can also be considered mages? Don't insult my taste! ”
This familiar tone makes people know where Andrei's evaluation of female mages when he was a fledgling and where they came from - Andrei covered his ears, his mouth moved, and he mouthed the above sentences almost perfectly and silently, but there is a saying in the mage circle that a mage who follows the old ways is not a qualified mage:
“…… Also, if you haven't forgotten our blood relationship, if I have been a single person for the rest of my life because of my appearance, it is unlikely that you will find a spouse in your life—especially after you have rejected the marriage that was made before you were a placenta and the Baomen family did not see your dignity. ”
André choked and rolled his eyes, and the old man smirked - if he had to be angry every time, he would probably have to prepare an epitaph for himself before he kicked this mouthful bastard out the door.
"It's a foregone conclusion, can you stop being verbose?"
Andrei ripped his hair irritably, and we learned the origin of the nest above his head:
"I have so much business to do now, I don't have time to argue with you about this—which fool arranged the sacrifices on the Perre front who feared that people would not know where they came from? Don't tell me that you have a part in participating, are you old immortals who have been nesting in the land of inheritance for a long time, and your brains are rusted? ”
"Oh, that, I did hear a little wind on the first two trips, but it's none of my business, and you don't know that our faction is sparsely populated, and even if I want to participate, no one is there—you stupid boy isn't at home!"
"What, this is really arranged by those other hidden inheritances?!" Andre jumped to his feet and shouted, "I don't think it's enough to be a blockbuster, just go and bombard the Holy Mountain, learn from those politicians to play roundabout tricks, can you play better than others!" You ......"
was relayed by Andre with a scolding of Lin An's speculation - which omitted the two atypical master-apprentice ingenious mutual damage scolding irony...... Some--The old man who had been reciting the incantation for hundreds of years had a better lung capacity, and after the truce of the unscrupulous disciple who was scolded, he said:
"Oh? Is there anything else going on? Then I'll go ask those old guys......"
"Ask what?"
"Of course, ask those guys what they are planning, how can they be driven by those spies."
"What spy?"
"Of course, it's the spies who have infiltrated the inheritance, except for the inheritance of disciples like us who are scarce and only know the roots, the others, which one doesn't have a spy and an outsider-even devil whale full of treasures, even if he hides in the deep sea, he will be hunted by whale ships, you are a hidden inheritance when we are hidden, no one will covet it? If you don't let someone sneak in, those in power won't even be able to sleep well! Besides, we're still the ones who left behind......"
The old man's voice became more and more vague, and Andre couldn't hear the words behind him clearly with his ears pricked up, but the inheritance he had obtained all the time made him vaguely guess the next words, and he only heard the old man mutter, "Such an obvious disadvantage, I don't believe those old foxes will not be able to see it!" I'll have to ask......"
"Wait, there's still the matter of the Land of the Dead, what are you going to do!"
"That's definitely going to go, and it must be before the Holy See's gang of gods, otherwise they will occupy the place first, and the problem will be big......"
"What! Before the Holy See? Does the Holy See already know the existence of the place of return? Andrei exclaimed.
"Huh, don't you know? Oh, I seem to have forgotten to tell you, the older I get, the more confused I get! The old man laughed, "Oh, now that I've informed you, remember to tell your little girl to be careful!" ”
