Chapter 10: The Idol (2)
Recently, the subscription is not ideal, and I conducted a survey, just below the introduction, everyone is welcome to vote, and help find the problem.
In contrast to the near-retributive temperament of the god of judgment, Rhaegar clearly prevailed in his cautious nature as an undead at this moment, and he made a decisive decision while discovering that he could not achieve his goal head-on with his strength. After a few seconds, the thorn bee, pretending to be lost, seemed to have finally found its way back to its nest after a few circles, and it flew out of the temple and out of the valley.
Even though two days had passed since the battle, the natural fear of the Two-Headed Lizard King had made the creatures of the mountain instinctively choose to stay away from the valley where the great lizard was, and when Rhaegar and his companions re-entered the valley, he found that it was still the same as it had been last night, and the dead Lizard King was still standing in place, its limbs still deep in the mire as the magic had not yet worn off.
"Do you really think that this dead lizard can help us?" Looking at the corpse of the Lizard King, who could barely find a complete place in front of him, Haim couldn't help but ask this question, the modified elf was obviously in much better condition than before, but still looked a little weak, if it weren't for his strong insistence, he should have stayed in the small village below the mountain to recuperate at this moment, instead of coming here with the rest of the team. The elves spoke up a problem common to all, and no one thought that this monster corpse, littered with rotten flesh and two heads almost falling off its neck, would really help their plans.
Upon leaving the temple and returning to the team's village, Rhaegar immediately announced his discovery - with reservations, of course, simply telling his friends that while he was exploring the mountain range, he had stumbled upon a strange temple that he had assumed was likely to harbor some interesting secrets. This news immediately aroused the interest of all the members of the team except for Willy, and although they had to temporarily suspend their actions due to the condition of the elves, in the hearts of these people whose minds were controlled by the magic of confusion, Hano's mission was still the task they were most eager to perform, and the temple in Rhaeggar's mouth was obviously the place they were looking for.
Tomahawk and Nack were almost about to leave for the temple, and even Haim insisted on dragging his weak body and setting off immediately, but Rhaegar had already thought of his words before returning, and after patient analysis and persuasion, he finally succeeded in convincing his anxious companions that they should make some preparations before entering the temple to withstand the attacks of the terrible monsters they might encounter on the way, and the body of the Lizard King was one of the indispensable tools in these preparations.
Rhaegar didn't answer Heim's question right away, he recited a few incantations softly, and a blue aura immediately appeared around the Lizard King's body, and the scars on the lifeless body began to heal rapidly, and two seconds later, a two-headed monitor lizard that looked almost identical to the one before life appeared in front of the spirit's eyes.
Resuscitation, another version of healing magic, does not restore the injured organism to health, but restores the body's appearance to its best extent possible, due to the huge amount of mana required, this spell is usually only used to treat certain cosmetic damage, but in the hands of an archmage, such magic is enough to keep a wounded corpse intact.
"When I was a god," Rhaegar said to his companions, "some mages are dedicated to the study of the dead, and they try to forcibly inject the souls of the dead into certain machines so that they can escape the attraction of the undead and the underworld, or use some unique method to drive the corpses of the dead so that the souls or bodies they control can serve them. Most of these experiments failed, but a few were successful. As the gods of judgment, the soul-destroying behavior of these mages was judged by me to be a violation of the commandments of the gods, and their souls were destroyed along with the part of the research on this act, but the part about the manipulation of corpses was left behind - a method that could solve the labor problem in many sparsely populated areas. ”
He waved his hand slightly, disarming the quagmire that was still working, and then raised his hand to inject a white light into the body of the two-headed demon lizard, and the corpse of the demon lizard king, which had been deprived of vitality, immediately reactivated, the huge lizard walked slowly, at first it seemed a little clumsy, but after a few minutes, everything it did was almost exactly the same as before.
The dwarf let out a low exclamation.
"It now has almost all the abilities it had when it was alive," Rhaegar said, "but that's not what we need. He waved his hand again, and the Lizard King walked up to the geist like a pet and lay meekly on the ground.
"We just need to use it to lure those monsters away," Rhaegar gestured quickly, flashing yellow magic symbols appearing in the air and then flying into the Lizard King's body, "These spells can make this body stronger." He said, "In Hornfest, no creature can defeat the Lizard King unless a few of the most powerful monsters join forces, and this great lizard has not actually been able to exert its true strength in the battle with us, and if it weren't for its conceit, we wouldn't have been able to defeat it at all - you know, a true Lizard King who has reached his peak can even compete with a ninth-order archmage." ”
"How did it move?" the tomahawk stared at the lizard king, a monster between life and death who put no less pressure on him than the missing Mer, "Are you sure it's dead and won't attack us again?"
"You can try," Rhaegar said calmly, "go to its mouth and see if it swallows you." ”
The geist's words sent a cold spree to the dwarf, and he subconsciously stepped back, standing where the four eyes of the Lizard King could not see.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Willy asked softly before the team left, while the others were busy preparing, "Why did you try to get them to find it, knowing that the idol was going to kill them?"
"Do you think I'm going to hurt them intentionally?" Rhaegar asked rhetorically, "Or, put them in danger by facing a terrible evil idol without any preparation?"
"Of course you won't," Willy said categorically, "but..."
