Chapter 267: The Wealth of the Corpse Witch
"Hey, is this really where the ghouls live? I don't think this place is worthy of being a corpse witch at all! "As soon as the thief saw the third level of the Lich Lands, he was immediately bewildered by the elegant surroundings here.
The third floor of the Lich Land is basically a community-like design, with gardens, pavilions and even a small pond all taken into account by the Witch, and it is very quiet and exquisitely arranged, and there are traces of fairyland-like clouds floating around.
"We know so little about the NPCs in this world, and if I'm not mistaken, the Corpse Witch used to be a big man, but Howard lost his power, and was reduced to survive with this undead body." While combining the information she had obtained, and then adding some personal opinions, Mina was able to restore the general picture of the matter.
"By the way, are you and the Corpse Witch really a brother-in-law relationship?" The thief also said as he walked to the gazebo to check.
"Well, I'm familiar with the Corpse Witch's former teacher, and I've been learning magic from him for a few days." Mina tried to be as vague as possible, he didn't want to disturb the old mage's life because of this.
"Oh, hey, come over and see, is this a teleportation array? How another waypoint can't be activated. Instead of asking him about him, he went to the center of the pavilion and began to study the stone slab below.
This stone slab is as white as jade, cut into a standard circle, and a complex magic array is painted on it, like this stone magic array, it usually takes an enchanter and a stonemason to make it, but if an enchanter can have the strength of Mina, it can also be done alone.
"I know that! All the teleportation arrays outside were protected by stone slabs, and it was impossible to see the magic arrays below from the outside. Hey...... I'm afraid this is a one-way teleportation array. When Mina walked into the teleportation array, she immediately noticed that a selection window appeared in front of her, and there was a gray spot inside.
It's a one-way teleportation array, and it's teleported in from the outside, and I'm afraid that's why the corpse witch was able to return to the Lich Land without a sound.
"One-way teleportation array, then will you disassemble it, I heard that the materials of these teleportation arrays are very precious, even if they are the worst kind, they are worth a lot." The thief also planned to uproot the edge of this teleportation array immediately.
“…… Just take this away, although the old-fashioned plate below is not an ordinary color, but it is not too valuable, and the core spar is the most valuable. After Zuna finished speaking, he motioned to the thief to use his dagger to carefully pry up the transparent hedron that was embedded in the central groove of the teleportation array, which was half the size of a baby's fist.
Although he had not learned the relevant knowledge, the space spar was notoriously precious of all the spars, and it was such a huge space spar. And this spar can allow the teleportation array to break through the interference of the magic shield and curse suppression outside, precisely because it contains enough spatial power, which can make the space of the two places have enough spatial resonance, tear the space, and establish a fixed spatial channel.
"It's such a big thing, the backpack can't be stuffed into it at all, let's go inside and look for it, I think the corpse witch reminded us that there should be some important things that we want to take away." Minai looked at this stone slab with a diameter of one meter, and immediately reminded a thief that he could not lose a big one because of a small one.
"Wait, let me cut it twice." The thief also picked a piece of ground with the fewest spell marks, slashed twice, and cut off a palm-sized stone slab.
After that, Mina walked into the only two houses on the third floor with the thief Youdao. The space on the third floor is not large, only less than 100 square meters, and basically, the elegant buildings outside take up more than half of the space.
"This is the Witch's bedroom!" The two of them first walked into the much smaller room, which had only a wooden table and a wooden chair, and then, there was no furniture, and the whole room was full of loneliness and emptiness.
If it weren't for the portrait of a woman on this table, I'm afraid that Zuna and the thief would not believe that this room was the room of the corpse witch.
"Well, yes, undead creatures don't have to be tired, so it's normal to have no beds here." Mina took a letter from the table, which read the words "Teacher personally enlightened".
Next to the envelope, there was a book covered with some dust, and Mina casually flipped through a few pages to find that the content in it was actually about the events of the corpse witch when he was a teenager.
This is the life biography of the corpse witch, and the envelope with a white background is probably a suicide note, it seems that the corpse witch has long planned to die here.
And at this moment, in the open space outside, a pitch-black crack suddenly appeared silently. The crack was hair-sized at first, but in an instant it expanded to allow people to enter and exit.
It's just that when the crack expands to the extreme, a figure calmly walks out of it. The figure first glanced at the teleportation array that had been dug up and cut off a corner of the spatial crystal, and the figure shook for a while.
After that, the figure vanished, but when he was about to disappear, his eyes were on the room of the corpse witch.
"Do you want to take this portrait out?" The thief also saw that Mina had put away the things that seemed useful in the room, and he had also put away the chair that seemed to be quite old, and now only the portrait of the woman and the table that could not fit into the backpack were left in this room.
"Well, we must take it away, I'm afraid this is the most important treasure of the corpse witch, we must take it out intact." As soon as Mina heard the thief's question, she thought of her shock and answered immediately.
For the corpse witch, who is no longer human, this portrait horror is his spiritual pillar.
Just now, Mina inadvertently turned the page of the biography of the corpse witch, where he saw a name, one that surprised him, Howard.
Judging from this page, the Corpse Witch, Howard, Appi and Meiping, these four people have lived together and traveled together. It's just that I don't know what happened later, and the corpse witch and Howard turned against each other, and it evolved into this life-and-death battle in today's Lich Land.
Mina carefully picked up the portrait of the woman named Meiping, and then wiped the dust off the wooden frame. This woman named Meiping is a beautiful priest, although this portrait has been placed for decades, but the shadow in it has not changed at all, it is still as beautiful as it was back then.
The sweet smile seems to be a warm beam of sunshine, and even in this portrait, it can infect the people around you and make people feel warm.
It's just that when Mina saw the sentence "Only to mourn his deceased wife - Meiping" at the back of the portrait, Mina immediately understood why the corpse witch and Howard would meet to the point where they would not die today.
Mina remembered that the corpse witch seemed to have been killed by someone, and his magic power was lost, and finally he had to plunge into the darkness in order to obtain the qualification for revenge, and the enemy he was talking about was Howard, but he didn't know what the revenge about Evan was.
"Who?" The thief suddenly felt that he was being watched, and immediately took out the dagger and ran out of the door, but there was not even a ghost outside the door, and he didn't notice anything suspicious, and his face showed a puzzled expression.
"Let's hurry." After checking outside, the thief said with some trepidation as he pushed open the big room next door.
When the two of them opened the door, they found that it was a laboratory, whether it was on the ground, on the wall, or on the tabletop, it was covered with paper, and it was also full of experimental data, materials, or magic arrays and other things.
And the most eye-catching of them is the pile of crystal balls on the table, and there are five crystal balls that Mina knows. He remembered that these five crystal balls were devices used by the corpse witch to absorb the magic of the dark apprentices, and although he didn't know how effective it was, it could hold the magic of hundreds of dark apprentices, which in itself was amazingly high.
"Alas, I thought there was a mountain of gold and silver hidden behind the corpse witch?" The thief is also responsible for putting away the surrounding papers, and Minai is responsible for putting away the crystal balls and experimental equipment, the division of labor between the two is mainly the most suitable, the thief is also fast, and the water Nai has a huge backpack, which is the most suitable for these larger things.
"These are mountains of gold and silver, like this magic crystal ball that can hold 10,000 mana points, it is more than 20 times stronger than those outside. If you sell it, there are no 1,000 gold coins, and there is absolutely no drama. And this fire attribute amplification crystal ball, which can increase the effect of fire magic by 100%, is a rare off-hand equipment. As she spoke, Mina put away a few crystal balls in her hand directly into her backpack, and then put away a thick book on the table, which recorded the process of making the magic ball, the drawing of the magic array extracted by the divine power, and the matters to be paid attention to.
I don't know if this technology has a future in the outside world, but as the result of ten years of research by the Corpse Witch, if it is handed over to the right people, it will definitely be able to carry it forward.
"Ah, it's a waste for a ruined thing like a corpse witch to grind such a perfect gem into powder. Ah, this one too, and it's available here, too. Holy shit, he's not got a lot of money. I saw the thief Youdao carefully picking up the garbage on the ground in the corner of the laboratory, but these garbage were shining gold coins in the eyes of the thief Youdao.
"Don't sweep those powders, these mixed powders are worthless, unless you can separate the ingredients in them at all, otherwise they can only be used to make some decorative jewelry." Seeing the thief also picking up the broom over there, Mina carefully collected the gem powder in the corner, and immediately reminded the magic idiot.
The powder of gemstones is only useful if it is pure, and the powder of a variety of gemstones mixed like this has no value at all.
"." After that, the thief also frantically collected all the gem fragments on the ground, and some of the mage equipment that was thrown in the corner was also thrown into the backpack.
And on the side, Mina didn't get involved, as a person who had already reaped a lot of money, he had to let the thief also get some benefits.
After that, Mina began to look at the deserted laboratory, and after making sure that there was no dark room or anything like that, he left here with the thief.
The divine power outside, but the big head of this operation, the two of them don't know what that divine power is for, but when they think of what Howard has worked with the corpse witch for ten years to come up with, it will definitely not be bad there.
And when the two left, a figure appeared in front of the corpse witch laboratory, and after seeing that it had been looted, not even a piece of paper or chair was left, he walked towards the stone gate with a light sigh.
