Chapter 563: The Tomb of Jiuyang

Here's a sketch. The painter uses skilful technique to depict what he sees: a necromancer wrapped in a burqa, building an arch out of pale finger bones. The material is some unconventional wood and dry bones. The head under the necromantic hood turned towards the painter, and the ghostly fire pulsing in his sunken eye sockets could be clearly seen.

"This is it! You don't know, sir, the first time I saw this painting, my blood was frozen. I said hello sir, how did you survive this kind of thing? Guess what he said? He said he didn't know what the other party was doing, so it was inconvenient to intervene. He also said that if the necromancer dared to attack him, he would have the power to fight back...... So, he's not afraid. ”

The baron looked at the strange picture: "You know what, only the devil is not afraid of the devil. Even the bravest warriors of humanity are afraid of such things, but they will fight to the death for the sake of their families behind them. Duan Wei, come and see! ”

The first master was inaugurated as a necromancer and had a certain understanding of necromantic summoning. He looked at it for a long time before saying, "I've never seen anything like this." But here, here...... The words carved on these skeletons are very similar to the runes summoned by the necromancy. The skeletons were also vaguely arranged in a six-pointed star array. Let me judge that this should be an undead tower, which can summon undead spirits, skeletons, and zombies in large quantities from the undead space parallel to this world. This could be a high-level portal that can be used for bulk teleportation. ”

If this painting is indeed a scene witnessed by Hao Sven, it proves that the entire Kirgiz space is facing a great danger: an advance party from the undead realm has infiltrated this space and is trying to build a tower of the undead that can summon an army of the undead. Given Hausven's rank and profession, there's no way he doesn't know what that means. But he still adopts an attitude of turning a blind eye, and the evil intentions contained in it are self-evident.

In order to get a clear answer, Baron Twilight temporarily goes offline and goes offline to find Bai Yiyi. He also drew the general style of the Tower of the Dead on a blank piece of paper, recorded a few strange runes and handed them to Bai Yiyi: "After you go online, go to Zhang Songjing or Ou Jianying, relay these contents to them, and ask them to make a judgment." If that doesn't work, let them go to Li Dingjun right away - preferably if they can draw this drawing in-game. ”

Bai Yiyi: "Is it so urgent?" Then how can I contact you when I'm done? ”

"I'm right next to you. Feel free to relay the matter. ”

Zhang Songjing and Ou Jianying both made judgments on this matter at the first time. Ou Jianying also drew a rough picture of the style of the Tower of the Dead according to the description of the angel in white: "Isn't that so?" As for those runes, I don't understand and can't write them. But this tower alone is enough for us to judge, this is a portal that summons the undead. The problem now is that someone with enough power is needed to make decisions. You follow the two of us and go directly to see Li Dingjun! ”

Li Dingjun received the report and immediately summoned the three of them in the Leopard Turf Hall: "It can be determined that this is the passage of the undead realm trying to open up this attached space. I've uploaded this piece of information. I have three things to do now: First, send scouts to follow the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment to reconfirm this news. Second, it is necessary to rearm and mobilize for a small-scale war, and to send into this subsidiary space the civilian forces that are willing to take the lead in resisting. Third, wait for the military order from the superior. ”

Angel in white: "Then do we have a specific mission for the Seven Swords?" ”

"Determine the exact location of this tower of the dead, and delay as long as possible for the necromancer to open the teleportation array. You can't be a match for this mage, but I still have to ask you to stall for time at all costs. You tell Baron Twilight that the most effective way to delay is to damage or dismantle the Tower of the Dead, at least so that the portal can't withstand the load of teleportation energy. ”

"He already knows. Excuse me, is there anything else we need to pay attention to? ”

Li Dingjun pondered for a moment: "Unite local forces. In war, one plus one can be less than one, or it can be greater than two, or even greater than three! It's all about how leaders use their power! In addition, after the reconnaissance force of our Shadow Leopard Legion enters the Kirgiz space, he will immediately send a response to show us the way! ”

"We've got enough personnel to fight. Before the Baron left, he had explained that the guide had already been prepared, and that he was in the Shadow Leopard Legion, his name was Asrel, and he was an apprentice blacksmith - probably a junior blacksmith by now. ”

Aslkin is a mid-level blacksmith. His master in the barracks had already asserted that as long as this kid could grow into a warrior with enough strength, it would be a matter of course for him to become a high-ranking blacksmith.

The little blacksmith and Trisco were incorporated into the scout team led by Li Qingyun, entered the Kirgiz space, and began to advance towards the Ruoqiang area.

What made Boss Su vomit blood was that Li Qingyun's scout team could only ride a war horse to Loulan! When they arrive, I'm afraid they will have to collect the corpses of the Seven Swords! Except to stand up and take the initiative, Seven Swords has no other choice at all! It was already dark, and Baron Twilight sat on the walls of the old city of Haitou staring at the sketch. His eyes were already red: in the vast desert, where to find this damn necromancer? The first target is Loulan, but if it is wrong, the Seven Swords will lose precious time.

Aldeck climbed the wall: "Sir, I know of a place where there is no shortage of this regular timber or the remains of the dead. If you want to build the building on this picture, that's the best place to do it. ”

"Don't say it sooner! Let's go! Aldeck, you be the guide! ”

"Master, I don't want to die. Can I tell you the route, and you go by yourself? ”

"You don't have a choice! Aldeck, if this guy summons evil spirits to this desert, who will be able to escape from you, your family, and your relatives in the tribe? All have to die! Come with me, if you die in battle, I will take care of your wife and children!" ”

Aldeck cried and said, "I'm afraid that someone will take care of my wife's!" ”

"Boss, speak slowly. It's Xiao Man who needs you to take care of! He stepped forward and patted Aldeck on the shoulder: "Then we will help you take care of your son!" A hundred acres of land, a thousand cattle and sheep, is a promise given to you by me, a baron of the dark dawn! ”

The horse team lifted up the yellow sand in the sky and left the sea. Baron Twilight immediately looked back, only to see a graceful pale yellow figure standing at the head of the city, as if bidding farewell to the group.

Aldeck noticed that the old man's face was abnormal, and he looked back and was overjoyed: "It's the goddess of Loulan!" With her to protect us, we will win this battle! ”

In vain, he used the team to chat to express his worries: "Uncle! If this task even Goddess Loulan finds tricky, I'm afraid we'll have to hang back! ”

The place Aldeck is talking about is called the Sun Cemetery. The cemetery is located in the sand dunes and poplar forests on the north bank of the Peacock River. The burial method of the Sun Tomb is peculiar and spectacular, and around the tomb are layers of poplar stakes. From the inside to the outside, from thin to thick, there are seven layers of logs. The smallest circle is close to the tomb, only about five steps in diameter, and there are columns of trees that spread out on all sides in a radial shape outside the circle, and the whole shape resembles a sun, and the dead are as if they are buried in the center of the "sun"; With the ring as the center, the seven circles of thick stumps are arranged radially, in an orderly manner, like the sun's rays, which is magnificent; The stumps are all buried vertically deep in the sand, with only the stump heads exposed.

There are nine tombs of this type, and more than 10,000 logs are used, which is a staggering number. In addition, there are dozens of ordinary pit burials clustered around these nine special tombs.

This form of burial in the world, only one of them! Its precious historical value is self-evident.

Aldeck came to the Sun Tomb with the Seven Swords, and without waiting for Baron Twilight to speak, he ran around the tomb on horseback, and returned to the Seven Swords team that was staring at the tomb in a daze, Aldeck was angry: "Master, there are two Sun Tombs missing!" I remember there were originally nine seats! The timber that the guy used to build the Tower of the Dead must have been removed from these tombs! The remains of some tombs have been exhumed and the bones are scattered...... What are we going to do? ”

What can I do? "Find! Find it, tear it down! After speaking, the baron released Jin Jiu and began a large-scale investigation.

More than a dozen falcons and vultures flew into the sky to patrol together. Although the detective pet can share the perspective with the owner, the area that can be observed is limited, and it is not possible to get a full picture of the entire burial area in a short period of time. Coupled with the sand dunes and the jagged and winding dry river, for a while, where can you see the tower of the dead that I don't know the size of?

Jin Jiufei flew higher, and fell into the baron's sight with a roar, and then ran into a low-lying sand pit.

Commanding Jin Jiu to fly into the sky, the man and the horse were struggling to climb the sand dunes. Immediately the passenger is of medium height, with high cheekbones, slightly sunken eye sockets, and a Mongolian leather robe, and if it weren't for the golden name on his head, Twilight Boss would almost have recognized him as a standard Mongol - Stein!

The mage who built the Tower of the Dead was not found, and he actually met the third treasure thief in the Western Regions, Stein, which was also an unintentional insertion.

At this time, Stein had also been discovered by other people's scout pets. Everyone gathered around and took Baron Twilight as the arrow, and greeted him in the direction that Stein had arrived.

Stein also spotted a number of flying pets on top of his head. He stopped his horse and squinted for a moment: there were more than twenty oncoming adventurers, and they were in an attack formation, and it seemed that the comers were not good. But these people are not strong enough to pose a threat to him. He was even sure that he would calmly retreat after killing the leader of these people.

What Stein didn't expect was that the leader of these adventurers was actually a young nobleman.

The young nobleman reined in his horse and waved his spear: "Stein, hand over the artifacts you have stolen here, and leave here!" ”
