Chapter 13: The Realm of the Dead (3)
This earthy yellow 'colored' bead can be said to be unremarkable, its surface is not half shiny, and uneven, from the outside, this is like a treasure, about the size of an adult's fist, more like a ball of mud made by a child, but Rhaegar can feel the terrible energy contained in it, he has no doubt that if all the energy in it bursts out, even if he is prepared and does his best to defend, it will still turn into nothingness in the first place.
After subduing the devour, it didn't take much effort for Rhaegar to learn from the new servant the source of his mutation and wisdom and power, it was this bead hidden in the 'hole' and 'hole' in the belly of the mountain that caused the devourer who accidentally strayed here to change later, and according to the description of the devour, its effect should be much more than this - every time he devours enough geysers to wake up after falling asleep beside it, his strength will be greatly increased, and at the same time, he will gain some abilities that he did not have before.
"Obviously, its material composition and energy 'nature' are completely different from anything in the Three Realms," Rhaegar pondered, playing with the mysterious bead in his hand, "There is only one explanation for this—it comes from the Outer Realm. ”
Compared to the vast universe, even the world that the gods can understand is only a part of it, for all worlds except the upper realm, the middle realm, the lower realm and the undead realm, including the underworld, people are collectively called the outer realm, in the eyes of people, there is the *** of intelligent life, and it is also the most mysterious place in this universe.
"I need to study it carefully," Rhaegar said to his servant, "but I will not take it from you, and I promise that the orb will return to you before you fall back asleep." Now, go grab some geists to replenish your consumption, but don't be in this mountain 'cave', I don't want any powerful beings to notice here because of your actions. ”
"Your wish is my mission," replied Swallow Desperation respectfully through the 'spirit' and divine 'exchange', "I would gladly offer you such a treasure, but since you do not think it deserve to be possessed by you, I will continue to preserve it." ”
Looking at the small mountain 'cave' that he had made improvised and hurried to 'trap' the wandering spirit, Rhaegar suddenly 'shot' two cold lights in his eyes, but then disappeared without a trace, and the next moment, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Wisps of 'essence' divine power wrapped the entire bead like a spider's web, and without triggering the terrifying energy contained in it, Rhaegar carefully probed and analyzed its composition and 'sexuality' nature, every subtle part, every faint energy 'wave', could not escape his observation. For Rhaegar, this mysterious orb has an extraordinary attraction - since it can evolve such geismas, it can also cause other geists to change in the same way, and if they can grasp the principles of it, the ability of the explorer he created will undoubtedly be qualitatively improved.
A great attraction suddenly came from the beads, and although he had long been wary of the possibility of unexpected changes, in the face of this irresistible suction, Rhaegar was as defenseless as a baby in a tug-of-war with a dragon, first his 'spirit' divine power, and then his geisting body, all of which were sucked in in an instant.
"Great, I can finally live here alone," a shrill voice whispered quickly in Rhaegara's ear, "I'm so glad you're here, we can be together." ”
Rhaegar calmly looked around, it was a wide and empty space, there was nothing but the white mist, and the voice came out of the mist.
"Who are you?" Judging from the tone and attitude of the other party, Rhaegar judged that the mysterious voice should not be hostile, and he shouted around him, "If you want me to be your partner, you should let me see you and know who you are." ”
"I'm already in front of you," the voice said, "in fact, you're in my body right now, and my consciousness is right next to you. ”
Rhaegar quickly looked around, and suddenly realized the identity of the other party, "You are the bead?" he asked tentatively, "A soul born in an artifact?"
"I'm not the artificially made thing. The voice said with a slight dissatisfaction, "In fact, although my form of existence is somewhat similar to those of the souls, I am born naturally, and like you and other intelligent beings, I am derived from nature. ”
"I'm sorry," Rhaegar said, "may I be lucky enough to know your name?"
"That's a problem," the voice said, "in fact, I never thought that, you know, for tens of thousands of years, I've been alone. I thought, maybe you can call me Sock, the name of the guy who first discovered me, I was with him for thousands of years, and I was almost on the verge of getting in touch with him, but then I wasn't as strong as I am now, and when I had enough power to 'mingle' with him, he left this world. Anyway, in my opinion, he should be my first friend. ”
"If you're talking about Sork you're referring to the forbidden mage who likes to venture around and end up missing in a space teleportation to the outer realms, I think I should know about him. Rhaegar finally found a clue from the other party's words, "In fact, it was that Sock who created the mage tower where I was, and to be exact, he was the ancestor of my teacher. ”
"We have finally found a common language," said Sock cheerfully, "and it was a disaster, and it wouldn't have happened if he had worn me with him instead of staying in his quarters—you know, the place he was going to was right next to my hometown." ”
"It's unfortunate. Rhaegar said, "You said the place he's going to go right next to your hometown, and I guess you're from the Outer Realm, right?"
"From your point of view, it should be. "My hometown is clearly not suitable for life for a life form like you," said Thork, "in fact, only one life was born there before I left there. It was Sock who got me out of there, but it was clear that in his eyes, I was nothing more than a meaningful memento. ”
"After he died, his servants began to divide up all the property, but these fellows did not know my worth, and they left me aside like an ordinary object. "After that, I've seen a lot of intelligent beings, but they can't 'commune' with me—their souls are so fragile compared to me that the slightest 'wave' of my consciousness is enough to break their spirits." ”
"It's been 70,000 years since I was born and I haven't had any 'intercourse' with any living being, and although your soul is not very strong, it is stronger than anyone I've met, and I think we should be able to be partners in the 'intercourse' with each other." ”
"I'm honored. Rhaegar was completely relieved at this time, this powerful being was not a dangerous creature, in the end, it was just a long-winded old man who had been lonely for a long time, and it was obvious that this old man would bring him great benefits if there was a proper method, "As a mage, I am very interested in your experiences over the years, as well as your birth and everything in your hometown, we can talk about it. But before that, I hope to get back outside, where there are a lot of things to work out and I promise, I'll be back soon. ”
"There's no need to be so troublesome," said Sock, "after sucking you in, I've mastered your 'spirit' spirit frequency, and we can contact you wherever you are in the future, so let me send you out first." ”
Half a second later, when Rhaegar floated out of the earth's yellow 'color' and appeared in the mountain's 'cave', he saw his newly acquired servants and several other undead: a skeleton, a zombie, and a lich.
"I don't seem to have allowed you to bring anyone else in," Rhaegar said lightly, looking at the panicked Eater, "By the way, why did you put your hand on that bead? ”
"It's mine!" Fear and shock finally erupted, and the geist screamed in his mind, "No one can take it away!" and he frantically attacked his master, an invisible blast of magic rushing towards Rhaegar in succession.
As he attacked, the skeleton also began to move, its emaciated body rushing forward like a gust of wind, and ten steel hook-like Li Chao in his hands slammed into Rhaegara's chest. Beside it, the zombie, which was supposed to be slow, became more agile than a warrior, and it cooperated with its companions, striking at Rhaegar from left to right.
If devouring is the mage of the undead, then these two undead are the warriors among them, these undead are much stronger than the warriors of the mortal world, and they are not afraid of magic, which makes the mages always passive in the face of them.
However, Rhaegar knew very well that even if the first three undead were all combined, they were far less dangerous than the one behind them: generally speaking, only mages above the ninth order were qualified to transform into lichs, and they not only retained most of the strength and wisdom of their lives, but also could quickly practice with the help of the environment of the undead realm. The lich in front of him seemed to have just completed his transformation and had not yet received more cultivation opportunities, but judging from the magical energy that was 'wavering' all over his body, he would definitely be a fierce opponent of Rhaegar.
The body suddenly disappeared from its place, and Rhaegar appeared in front of the lich without warning, just as the devouring magic blast and the attacks of the skeletons and zombies had just arrived, and the magic that could kill a mid-level undead in an instant, and the claws and fists that could tear through the magic shield, all hit the air only.
