"What do you mean by the mage, is it possible to help Prince Thor stabilize the situation if we recapture the Heart of the Mountains?" Sonia quickly reviewed the information she had read before, and wondered if it was possible to make this mission easier.

"I don't think it makes any difference." Cosiris smiled and shook his head, "The Heart of the Mountains is under the watchful eye of the Angmar Dragon, and retrieving such a dazzling treasure is no less difficult than slaying a dragon. ”

It is impossible to slay a dragon...... Xiao Yan estimated that the dragon that could drive away the entire dwarf kingdom was at least a ninth-order legendary creature, which was on par with the world's three-feathered serpent god envoy Chakader that everyone had encountered before.

It may be possible to gather an army of 50,000 or 100,000 and unleash an overwhelming array of attacks and magic to take out a dragon with a head bigger than a war elephant, but a small squad cannot do it.

After losing its capital, Prince Thor's kingdom probably lost control of the army and the power of the nobility. According to Xiao Yan and Xia Boyang's speculation, it is impossible for Prince Thor to lead a large army to regain the territory. He's likely to sneak into the dragon's lair, and then send some kind of ultimate to drive the dragon away.

However, since there is such a rare treasure as the Heart of the Mountains, it is very likely that Prince Thor will go for this treasure diamond.

All of this is in Tianwen's prediction in advance.

"We can try to hide our tracks and steal the gems from the dragon's watchful eye." Sonia glanced at Xiao Yan and took out everyone's plan, "We've heard that the Shadow Council is good at this. However, we are not familiar with the Shadow Mage, and would like to receive your introduction. ”

"Oh, so the count's daughter has such a plan?" Cosiris dragged his chin and thought for a moment, "The power of the Shadow Council may be able to hide from the dragon's detection, at least there is a certain chance. But they're all weirdos, and my words aren't necessarily useful. ”

Cosiris instructed his servant to take out a scroll, take a pen and write down the words of magic and give it to Sonia, "Please take this scroll to Erzurum." The town hall can be reached by teleporting circles, and the seat of the Shadow Council is located in the eerie dungeon just outside the city. ”

……

Bidding farewell to Kosiris, the Tianwen team soon arrived in Erzurum. Xiao Yan left the mercenaries in Tbilisi, asked them to prepare horses and clothes, and set out on a journey to find the prince once Tianwen returned.

The city of Erzurum is almost the southernmost point of the civilized city-state, and further south from here is a dense and gloomy black forest.

The Mage Tower of the Shadow Council stands alone in the bare treetops of the Black Forest, as if it were a centuries-old tree dead itself.

"Is there really anyone here?" Joshua looked at the ruins, the mage's tower. The overflowing shadow energy was incompatible with the holy light on him, and they began to fight each other from the moment they entered the forest.

"Just smash the door and you'll know!" Galadia said with a malicious look on her face.

Xiao Yan walked up the dilapidated steps in two steps, and with just a slight push, the wooden door creaked open inside. The breeze whipped up dust and cobwebs, as if there had never been a human presence here.

"They're so well lurking." Valkyrie chuckled, "It's like there's no living person." ”

The interior of the Shadow Mage Tower is larger than it looks from the outside, and once you enter this door, you need to climb a huge staircase of dozens of steps to reach the second floor.

"Be careful!" Joshua reminded suddenly, in a low voice.

At the handrail of the second staircase, a thin man reclined. It's terrifying in a dark and silent environment.

Sonia was startled and clutched the corner of Xiao Yan's cloak. Xiao Yan and Joshua glanced at each other, and the young paladin cautiously leaned over with the vanguard shield in his hand.

"Smack!" As if affected by the vibration of the footsteps, the figure's head suddenly fell to the ground and rolled towards the five people.

Galadia hid behind Xiao Yan's back with an almost "whoosh" and grabbed Xiao Yan's arm.

"Dead bodies?" Joshua examined the headless corpse, "It's already ossified." The time of death is quite long. ”

"The deceased is a mage of the Shadow Council, a third-level mage badge." Valkyrie appeared beside Joshua at some point, leaned down and checked the deceased's cloak, "The body is not broken and there are no signs of battle, the deceased may have been strangled or poisoned, let's see her bones." ”

As she spoke, the red-haired girl lifted the skeletal burqa to check the position of her spine and pelvis.

"There's no sign of poisoning on the bones, but the flesh is too completely gone for the remains in this space," Valkyrie examined, puzzled, "as if the bones had been stripped of before they were dressed." ”

"Smack!"

The skeleton, which was no longer a trace of flesh, suddenly grabbed Valkyrie's white wrist with his right hand.

“……”

"Ahh Galadia and Sonya, who were standing beside Xiao Yan, screamed almost at the same time.

Valkyrie turned his backhand and smashed the skull's fingers with his backhand as if he didn't care about himself, and then turned his head to look at the skull with Joshua.

The lifeless skull ignited two green ghost fires in the hollows of the eye sockets, which were extremely terrifying. The skull opened its mouth without vocal cords and made a muffled voice like squeezing sawdust: "Outsider, I am Peppenor, the mage of the Shadow Council, the master of this mage tower. ”

"Mage Pepeno, it's you who are talking to us right now, or are you recording the voice from this skeleton."

"Are you already a skeleton...... "There was regret in the tone of the ghostly head, "I was just trying to see if I could advance to a lich, but I didn't expect it...... Oh, it's a pity that my good skin. ”

"Good skin......" Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile, it was really an interesting skeleton. The eerie atmosphere in the hall eased a little.

"The mage of Tbilisi, Koserys, has suggested that we visit you in search of a magic that suspiciously blinds the dragon's perception." Xiao Yan motioned to Sonya, and the girl with the highest charm value and the best communication effect forcibly endured the discomfort and fear of the skeleton and reluctantly said, "I wonder if Your Excellency can give us some help?" ”

"Help? Your voice, oh! I see, dear Miss Lamour, I have heard of it for a long time, of course...... Absolutely. The Pepeno skeleton raised his pitch suddenly, "But in my current state, I can't even hold the flask." ”

"A necromancer from the north tricked me into drinking a highly poisonous potion, and I didn't even know whether it tasted bitter or ......sweet," Peppeno said, "and this mage not only took my research and occupied my mage tower, but also turned my servants into immortals." ”

"This hateful liar conducts his experiments every day on the top floor of the tower. If you can find him and force him to restore my flesh, even if it means becoming an undead, I will have a way of concocting a potion to help you stealth. ”

"Be careful, my Guardian Jihad is a strong fellow who will become even more powerful when he becomes an undead, Ransell is an idiot who only deserves to be a magic apprentice for the rest of his life, but necromancy may give him something special. Hey, I'm so curious! The skeleton of Master Pepeno regretfully said, "You'll see them when you get to the top of the tower." After becoming undead, they don't have to go to the kitchen to steal food. ”

"What's the name of the necromancer who deceived you? What are the capabilities? Xiao Yan interrupted the chattering skeleton and asked.

"Suva? …… Sucre? Beta? …… Oh yes, I remember, Suwert! This cunning liar. He can concoct all kinds of potions, and he has a team of guards. ”
