Volume 3: The Shadows Chapter 50 The Great Plains of Necromancy
The Akatsuki Empire and the Sky Wolf Empire are separated by a vast Great Plain, with the Akatsuki Empire to the east and the Divine Punishment Grand Canyon to the west, which stretches almost the entire border of the Sirius Empire.
The length of the Divine Punishment Grand Canyon is nearly 10,000 miles, and the width is nearly 100 miles, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if the magician wants to pass through, it is almost impossible, although the Sky Wolf Empire has built a number of huge suspension bridges across both sides, but they are all heavily guarded.
Moreover, there are also powerful magicians at both ends of the drawbridge, preventing magicians above level 7 who already have the ability to fly long distances from breaking through the sky directly into the Sky Wolf Empire.
The only place that was not heavily defended was the border where the Necromantic Great Plains were located, because it would be more difficult to cross the Necromantic Great Plains, which was inhabited by countless necromantic creatures, than to directly cross the Great Canyon of Divine Punishment.
Kex looked at the gloomy aura in the distance, and he could faintly see a large number of necromantic creatures wandering in the Great Plains of Necromancer, and his whole face turned green.
·······
"Why can it only be me?"
"Don't you know, everyone in the Sky Wolf Empire has black hair and black eyes, and your rare appearance is just right!" Akada looked relieved: "Although some of the hair is already white, it is no problem to dye it." ”
"Isn't the Akatsuki Empire always trying to send spies to infiltrate the Sky Wolf Empire, why do you need us?"
Saying this, Arkada's expression became a little more solemn: "That's right, but······ After all, if you want to infiltrate the opponent's territory, you can only use the drawbridges that are fortified layer by layer, and the other party's defense is tighter than we thought, and the people we sent have always been there and never returned. ”
But Fox couldn't accept the answer at all: "That doesn't explain why you sent me there, don't fool me with things like looks." ”
"Okay, okay, first of all, your physiognomy is indeed an important reason, black-haired and black-eyed Akatsuki Empire people are indeed rare, in addition, you know that the vast majority of necromantic creatures can only perceive life through breath, and they have no sense of sight and smell, right?"
Nexus nodded, of course he knew this, after all, he was also a necromantic magician, and he had personally summoned an army of necromancers.
Arcada took a delicate little chest that had been placed next to it, and opened it.
"That's the main reason. ”
Curious, Kerx leaned forward to take a look.
There was only a black necklace inside the box, which looked unpretentious, without any magic fluctuations, like cheap goods bought at a market stall.
"What is this?" Nexus asked, but the contents didn't look like some powerful magical device.
Akada carefully removed the necklace from the chest, as if it were some rare treasure, he handed the necklace to Nexus, and said briefly, "Give it a try." ”
Fox took the black necklace and tried to inject his magic energy into it with a puzzled expression, but the black necklace didn't respond at all.
Just as he was about to ask what was going on, his eyes suddenly moved.
Fluctuations emanated from the necklace and then enveloped the body, sensing the changes in his body, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
"It's ······· Can it hide the breath?"
Arcada sighed slightly: "Sure enough, ·······"
Looking at the puzzled look cast by X, Arcada explained, "This is a magical device excavated from an ancient ruin, although the material is extraordinary, but no one can move it at all, so it is just put away as a collection."
Later, because of some accidents, the necklace was stolen, and then the thief was caught, and after interrogation, it was learned that the thief was able to use the necklace, but he himself didn't know why, he just thought that the necklace was an ordinary magic device, and he activated it very casually. ”
"Why can he use it?" said Kerry vaguely guessed something.
"Because that thief is a necromantic magician. Akada's eyes were full of meaning.
A flash of surprise appeared in Kerks' eyes, and then under Arcada's further narration, he learned more.
After that incident, after using some necromantic magician prisoners for testing, it was finally confirmed that only necromantic magicians could trigger the necklace, and it was found that the function of the black necklace was to hide the aura, but at most it could only hide the aura of intermediate and lower mages, and it was difficult to see through below the star level.
The empire originally wanted to parse the necklace and make a large number of copies, even if the non-necromantic magician can't be urged, but using this feature can also screen out the hidden necromantic magician, after all, unless you use the necromantic magic, there is no other way to distinguish between the necromantic magician and the ordinary soul magician.
But the main material of the black necklace can no longer be found, and the ancient inscriptions engraved in it have long been lost, and no one can parse them, and the most important black necklace is a consumable magic energy device, which will lose its effect after a certain period of time, so this black necklace is very chicken, and it continues to be neglected as a collector's item, until now, it has regained the light of day.
"So, you now understand why only you can do it, right?"
Kerx groaned, with the function of concealing the breath, the conditions for use are harsh, it must be a necromantic magician, and it is only effective for intermediate and below magicians, it is indeed just right for him·······
In fact, just now Kers was shocked just now because its function was similar to the ring's breath concealment function, but in terms of effectiveness and effect, the ring is far better than the black necklace.
"In recent years, the Sky Wolf Empire has been preparing to make a move, and has begun to send people to secretly contact some forces, so don't underestimate your mission this time. ”
Arkada's expression became extremely serious: "There is no time limit for this mission, so you must try to find out as much information as possible." ”
"This is also an experience for you, and don't lose the black necklace!"
·········
Looking at the Great Plains of Necromancer in the distance, the corners of Nex's mouth twitched, in fact, he didn't need the black necklace at all, because the effect of the Ring of Concealment was obviously better, even if he met a star-level Necromantic King, the other party didn't want to find himself.
However, traveling through the Great Plains of Necromancy for nearly thousands of miles is definitely not a pleasant experience, and it is true that the Necromantic Wizard can use his soul to summon necromantic creatures, but the necromantic creatures that he does not summon will not bird him.
The Great Plains of Necromancy emerged only after the Battle of the Two Gods, and countless necromantic creatures suddenly appeared and occupied this vast plain.
The breath of death brought by the necromantic creatures gradually invaded the plain, and it eventually became barren and desolate.
The reason why the Red Moon Empire and the Heavenly Wolf Empire did not send troops to clear the Necromantic Great Plains was that these suddenly appeared necromantic creatures did not know why they had only been wandering in a fixed range all the time, showing no signs of expanding outward.
On the other hand, even if the two countries have the ability to pacify the Great Plains of Necromancy, they will have to pay an unimaginably heavy price, and both sides are suspicious of each other, what if the other side takes the opportunity to attack at that time?
For two reasons, countless necromantic creatures have been entrenched in this great plain, and years of peace and quiet have gradually made people forget this hidden danger.
The Celestial Wolf Empire is also happy to make the Necromantic Great Plains a natural barrier against the Akatsuki Empire.
Kerry took a deep breath, activated the hidden aura pattern of the ring, hid his breath, and slowly walked into the range of the Great Plains of Necromancy, and a corrupt aura of death suddenly came to his face, as if he had entered the underworld, and the sky above became a little gray.
Although he knew that except for a few kinds of necromantic creatures, everything else relied on breath to perceive things, but he was still very cautious and walked slowly.
In the distance, several skeleton soldiers staggered over with stiff steps.
Kerrs tensed, but several skeleton soldiers just walked past him and didn't notice him at all, as if he didn't exist·······
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although a few skeleton soldiers were not a threat, but if they moved to attract the vast number of necromantic creatures, their own lives would not be enough.
Gradually, Kerry got used to the fact that the necromantic creatures completely ignored themselves and kept walking by.
His speed began to increase, turning from a stroll to a gallop, and his whole person seemed to turn into an afterimage, shuttling through the void of the necromantic creatures.
In this way, Kerrs hurried across the Great Plains of Necromancy, praying in his heart that he would be safe and sound until he reached the border of the Sirius Empire.
But apparently, he was not so lucky.
Suddenly, there was a longing roar in front of him on his left, and a fleshy, bone-bared, stenching humanoid necromantic creature lunged at Kers, revealing sharp teeth and two bulges on its back.
According to the other party's morphological characteristics, Kox recognized the other party as a rotting ghoul, and the level was not low, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
Carrion ghouls are rare necromantic creatures with physical sense, specifically a keen sense of smell and a strong desire for living things.
Coming to a halt, Kerrs reached for his waist, where what looked like an iron belt was a section-by-section. He pulled the belt-like thing out of his waist, and when it shook it, it looked like a chain, and then the magic energy worked and poured into it.
With a clicking sound, each section of it quickly fits, and the original chain-like form instantly turns into a long black stick.
After all, it was such a dangerous mission, and Arcada was not too stingy, and provided some magical equipment for him to choose.
At that time, Kerx first fell in love with this black long stick, not only can it change its form and be easy to carry, but also for him with terrifying physical strength, such a violent weapon just meets his needs.
Looking at the carrion ghoul rushing in his face, Fox directly turned into an afterimage and stepped forward, raised the black stick and slashed down directly, and the opponent's movements were also extremely flexible, and he flashed and slashed sideways, and continued to pounce forward.
