Chapter 256 Prison
A place that can ensure that the undead are safe from detection is incalculable in the current situation, and it is worth the time. Feige hidden, holding the Undead Urn Spell in his hand, staring at the wall where the secret door was.
After about two hours, the rune door frame reappeared, and the walls began to move slowly. Without hesitation, Feige threw out the Undead Urn Spell, and then quickly stepped back around the corner. Suddenly, all the surrounding undead felt the huge attraction of the circle and poured over from all directions. Feige soon heard screams and felt his mana run through the air.
The divine power released after opening and closing the secret door will attract the undead, but it will not attract as much as the undead will enter the urn, so there is still a chance to leave, which Feige does not want to let happen. The moment the contract demon inside walked out of the door, the undead had already pounced, and the ghost's negative energy arm passed through the devil's body, directly ripping off part of its life force.
Energy absorption is the most terrifying ability of ghosts, although it is not always successful, but when a dozen ghosts reach out together, this has long exceeded the maximum resistance of contract demons. Each time it is sucked, it suffers as much as a downgrade, and this severely interferes with the Pact Demon's spell abilities.
The Contract Demon is not very good at fighting, and it does not have wings to fly, so it cannot escape if it is blocked by the undead. Feiqi had thought before that a secret door with sacred runes could be arranged in the dark alley, and a contract demon could not do such a thing, it might just be a minion who came to "do routine errands".
Although he was confident that he could defeat the Contract Demon, he could not stop it from passing the news before he died. But if the undead kill it, it doesn't matter if it spreads, it will only be considered an accident. Feige stopped injecting mana into the urn and waited a little longer for the undead to disperse before sneaking over.
The only thing left in the alley was the broken Hell Invoker, and he immediately opened his evil aura to absorb all the invokers, so that the evidence could be completely destroyed. The body of the contract demon lay on the ground, torn to pieces by skeletons and zombies. After a while, it will be turned into a skeleton by the negative energy around it, and Feige rushes up to search its pocket.
The space bag can't be used, and there is something to hide on the body. Feige found a silver key and a broken vial. The contents of the bottle originally smelled of blood, but it was a strange red color mixed with a hint of gold. There was also a scroll torn in half, with many short sentences written in sacred runes, the first of which was a spell to open the door.
"I just want a place to hide, and these things don't move. Fitch memorized the phrases on the scroll and shoved them all back - except for the key. To be on the safe side, Feige placed the key on the ground outside the secret door, as if it had fallen here. The reason for this is that the Devils, especially the Contract Demons, often use positioning spells on their belongings, and Feige has assumed that this is an organization, so he needs to be kept from being followed.
"In the name of Bayer, open the doors of the shelter. Fei Qi also opened the secret door after learning from the contract demon's movements, and he quickly got inside and covered the door from the inside.
The undead gathered again, and when they found that there was no target, they dragged the corpse of the contract demon away. After a while, the skeleton of the corpse broke away from the remaining flesh and skin, and stood up on its own, joining the skeleton's army.
Feige came to the back of the secret door, and the moment he passed, he felt as if he had arrived in another separate space. When the door closed behind him, the breath of both the sacred and the undead was completely cut off. In other words, although there are walls around him, he should not be in the alley of the maggot's den. It's no wonder that the ghosts can't get in through the walls back and forth, it's a great place to hide!
In front of him was a small room five meters square, with a table and a chair on which a bundle of blank scrolls and writing utensils were placed, and next to it was a golden stick the length of a small arm. There are three oil lamps lit on the wall, which burn whale oil and add some kind of spice to it. In addition to this, there is a bronze cellar door on the stone floor, and the door is full of runes in the language of hell.
"It's a Celestial Divine Rune outside, but Hell is here instead? Feige walked over to the cellar door and perused the hellish runes on it. This is a sealing spell that is commonly used to trap minions and prevent them from teleporting, but is rarely used on gates. "Forget it, adventure is not my purpose, it's important to take a break here. ”
After searching the house for a while, Feige marveled at his good fortune. The bottle with the quill on the table was spell rune ink, and those blank scrolls could be used as well. Feige immediately sat down and began to record the Undead Urn spell in the form of a scroll, so that the cast time could be further reduced, which would definitely save lives in case of emergency. At the same time, there are not too many spell scrolls for stealth and illusion occlusion, and if you still have time, you need to make some.
There were no timekeepers in the room, and Feige didn't know how long it had been. He had completed two Undead Urns and three Stealth Spells, and by this time his spirit had begun to feel sleepy. The devil doesn't need sleep, but as a magician, Feige still needs rest. There were no undead looking for trouble, but the place was too small for it to hide and sleep, so Feige set his sights on the bronze cellar door. He thought about it, he still had to investigate, otherwise he still couldn't put his mind at ease. I don't know how long the undead plague outside will last, and this shelter will inevitably be used in the future.
Forcefully pull open the heavy iron door, and a cool moisture comes from below. In the deep darkness, a series of uneven stone steps continued to sink into the ground, surrounded by large chunks of rock. At the bottom of the passage, there was a faint hissing of steam, but there was no sound of living creatures moving or talking. Feige used his invisibility spell to hide in the darkness and slowly walked down the stone steps.
The channel went down, to the right, and then spiraled down, and it took about 300 meters to finally reach the bottom. In front of Feige is an unmanned alchemy workshop, where a large amount of distillation and reaction equipment is working, and the unquenchable flame promotes the continuous transformation of alchemical substances. The air was filled with a pungent fragrance, mixed with a hint of hidden blood and foul smell.
The alchemy workshop occupies a huge area, the size of a basketball court underground. It's stuffed with all sorts of materials, semi-finished products and tools, but it's left unattended. Feige unleashed his detection magic, taking care of every nook and cranny to be convinced that there were no living, dead, or constructing golems, and nothing that would attack him.
"What are you doing here? I've never seen a devil use alchemy. Fei Qi went around in circles, relying on his alchemy knowledge to analyze it, and then the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. "Why does the ingredients and process used here look similar to the Pure Good Essence incense? Isn't that the secret recipe used to fight the Hell's Erosion during Zariel's angelic days? Is there something to do with her, or with the Fork of the Road Demon?"
After becoming suspicious, Feige looked more closely. Rummaging around, piecing together clues, Feige gradually figured out the process of alchemy. Pure Essence Incense is indeed being made here, but the incense is only an intermediate product, and the final product is a high-purity golden liquid stored in a medicine bottle. The empty medicine bottle of the same size next to it is also connected to the tube and needle, which looks like a set of injection instruments.
Who is it for?, Feige re-observed the room, and there were no entrances or exits to the four walls or the ground beneath his feet, except for the passage through which he had entered. So he looked up and saw that there was a section directly above the roof that that looked different from the surroundings, and a protruding crossbar hanging upside down from the ceiling. Feige shook his wings and flew up to get closer, the crossbar was smooth and could be seen to be rubbing frequently. He tried to pull the bar, and a circular circle of Hell runes appeared above his head.
"In the name of Bayer, the shelter is already open for you. There was such a sentence in the rune array. The secret word for the entrance gate is to open the shelter in the name of Bayer, so this should be the next sentence. Fei Qi recalled the broken scroll that the contract demon had with him before, and said in the order above, "I will carry out the order and fulfill the lord's contract." ”
A flash of light appeared in front of Feiqi's eyes, not giving him a chance to react at all, and launched a green ball of energy directly into his chest. It only took a split second for Feiqi's Lust form to be blown into dust, but he quickly got back up from the dust in his hybrid form. It's a powerful spell called Ashes, and Feige triggers it with an incorrect clearance phrase and then takes a hard blow head-on.
Fortunately, this desire demon has multiple states, which is equivalent to a few more lives. The damaged Totally Lustful Demon began to recover with the help of Hell's favor, and the harvest of the Invoker made Feige not care too much about the consumption. He looked at the ceiling above his head, the more he failed, the more he didn't believe in this evil, he must find a way to crack it and see what was hidden behind it.
Alerted again, Feige searched again, and half a day later found a string of runes in a very inconspicuous crack in the stone. This rune only has more than 30 hell characters, and its function is also very simple to "detect the devil type", without the slightest magic. However, hiding it in a crack in the stone is similar to the way the Contract Demon doped words into the contract, which makes it more difficult to find it.
"It's insidious. Feige thought to himself. Since there are runes that detect the Devil type here, and they are linked to casting the Rune of Ashes, the password for each type of Devil should be different. The next password of the Contract Demon contains the word "contract", and one of the remaining passwords does contain the word desire.
"It's a big deal to lose another state. Feiqi put his hand on the crossbar and pulled down, and the rune array appeared, and this time he said, "The master's desire is the order given to me." ”
The Smoke Extinguishing Spell did not appear, and the secret door slowly moved open, and the crossbar turned into a ladder and hung down. A heavy smell of fireworks came from the entrance of the cave, and the sound of iron chains rattled. Feige listened for a while, poked the cat teaser into it first, and then quickly pulled it back.
"(°ー°〃) - Master, inside is a cell, and no one is seen except the prisoners. The teaser showed Feige what it had taken, and the circumferential shot was a little distorted, but it was true that there was no one but the prisoner in it, as the teaser said.
Feige stealthily enters, finding himself seemingly smaller. Not really, the main thing is that everything here is two sizes bigger, and it seems that all of them are designed for big or oversized guys. It was a room full of lead bricks, torture instruments hung all over the walls, and a giant devil with black wings was imprisoned in a cage of adamantite gold. Her face and wings looked like Lust, but her size was so large that it was definitely at the level of the Deep Hell Purgatory.
At the end of hundreds of chains of adamantite gold are hooks that pierce flesh and bone, immobilizing the giant demon. More than a dozen vials of golden potion were slowly injected into her neck and spine through a leather tube. At the position of her waist equivalent to a human kidney, a precisely cut triangular wound was made, and a silver tube was drawing blood from her body. The amount of blood drawn is very small, and there must be a drop in half a day. However, judging from the accumulation in the bottle, it was the kind of golden mixed red blood that the contract demon carried before.
The devil was motionless, seemingly unconscious, powerless to resist. Feige couldn't hear her breathing or heartbeat, but he didn't dare to look closer, because he had an idea in his mind that was becoming more and more certain.
In the first layer of Hell, Lord Bayer has basically dispelled the devil's impression of the former lord Zariel, and few people even know that Zarel was once an angel. According to the story of the fork in the road, Feige thinks that the imprisoned devil in front of him is Zariel! Feige is immediately a little flustered, he has all kinds of ideas about what is behind this secret room, but he never thought that it will have anything to do with Zariel and Bayer!
"Calm down, don't panic, Bayer is not God, this is not the kingdom of God, it will not appear immediately. Fei Qi pressed his chest, adjusted his breathing, and then looked around: "These are all special lead bricks, which can isolate all mana fluctuations, so no information can be transmitted." It can be determined that Bayer is not in the undead infested area now, it sits in the core of the Bronze Fortress, and deploys the devil general and adventurers to work for it, so it will not appear for a short time. The only thing to worry about is the contract demon, it must have come with a mission, if Bayer can't see it, I'm afraid it will send someone to find it. ”
"But even then, I still have time, and the other party can't think that this has been broken through. Feige pondered for a moment, believing that he was not in immediate danger, but this was certainly not the place to stay for long. He took a few pictures of Zariel with a cat teasing stick, and prepared to sell the information to Styx Shipping to see if he could make money. Just as he was about to leave, Zariel opened his eyes!
"I haven't seen you, but I remember you. Zariel's voice was weak, but it instantly restrained Feige: "If you dare to leave now, I will tell Bayer everything about how you have been here, what you look like, and what the characteristics of the soul fire are." ”
