Chapter 5: The Mine of Death
"Hyde, how much holy water have you used?" As soon as he went out, Morey pulled the captain of the knight aside and asked, the expression of the priest just now was too weird.
Hyde smiled and raised a finger to make a one-to-one gesture.
"A bottle? What model of holy water is this? The effect is so strong? "Morey felt the need to go back and talk to his father, such a strong divine aura, the priest of Sandakle actually did it with only a bottle of holy water, is Sandakol's strength back into strength? Or is it the legacy of the Church of the Wind Riders before the fall of the City of Songs? This needs to be investigated!
"A bucket, young master!" Hyde smiled and corrected his mistake.
Looking at Hyde, who was still smiling, Morey unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth, and an urge to hit people arose. No wonder the priest looked like he was loveless, a 100-liter bucket of holy water could be filled with at least 1,000 bottles based on a standard bottle of 100 milliliters. Not to mention the amount of secondary holy water that can be formed when mixed with water. The average adventure team brings secondary holy water mixed with water every time they go on an adventure, and the basic church will not sell the holy water with 100% purity!
Hyde didn't think there was any problem in soaking two heavy swords that were just refining weapons with a bucket of holy water, if it wasn't for the lack of preparation in advance, there were so many weapons in the family treasury, and it would not be easy to find a heavy weapon with purification attributes. As one of the de facto controllers of the Far East, the Faist family wants money and people, and a mere bucket of holy water is nothing compared to the safety of the young master.
Soon a team of exploration teams was formed, Hyde, a high-level Warcraft knight, good at melee combat; Mark, a priest part-time mage, who specializes in spells and magic; Morey, a rookie, is good at epee; William, a shield-wielding guard, is good at guarding; Blue, a shield-wielding guard, is good at guarding. Healing, attacking, and protection are all in place, and you can go under this, well, explored.
These days, the dog-headed coolies have expanded the mine into a wide tunnel, and even those as tall as Hyde don't feel uncomfortable. However, as we go deeper underground, the tunnel gets narrower and narrower. Morey was okay, but Hyde was already feeling constrained. In the darkness, everyone slowly advanced by relying on the light technique, and there was already an obvious dead air here, and the priest's holy emblem slowly lit up with white light, giving people a comfortable feeling when they looked at it.
"Now we should enter the territory of the dead, everyone stay vigilant." Pastor Mark smiled back and admonished.
Needless to say, everyone has noticed it, and they have long been secretly on guard.
At this moment, in Saganis City, there is also a young man who is also carefully dealing with it in the dark.
"Doro, tell me about the news you got."
"Yes, grandfather." Taking a deep breath, even if he is the best of the younger generation of the family, the man closest to the position of the patriarch, he is inevitably nervous when facing this actual family master, even if he is his grandfather.
"As soon as I heard that the man's son had received new treatment, I immediately sent someone to the Muri mine. The news obtained confirmed that Morey's physical potential had been restored and that he had also awakened some of the power of the dragonborn's physical body, but the wounds on his soul had not yet recovered, and there was basically no chance of reawakening his true name. ”
"Don't tell me the basics, I want specific and exact information!" The old man paused, resting his cane on his hand, and knocked on the floor with a dull thud.
"Yes, the point is that the man is too strictly guarded, and it is about to become the station of the Saber Fort, there are too many guards, and there is also the 'Reaper' Hyde here, so we can't check it carefully." Glancing up, he realized that the old man did not blame, and Doro dared to continue.
"However, I have sent my capable men to go in person, and I will definitely get a blood sample of Morey, so please rest assured grandfather."
"Well, as soon as possible." In the darkness, after a moment of friction of flint and steel, a cigarette produced by the newest gnome from the Emerald City was lit, and the figure of an old man with white hair could be faintly seen in the flickering fireworks.
Doro was still familiar with his grandfather's habit of lighting cigarettes and sending away guests, and he took the initiative to quit after introducing some of the latest situations in the family.
Out of this humble mansion, the breeze blew, and Doro felt a little chill behind him.
Only then did he realize that his back was already wet.
This made him smile bitterly, how many people in the family envied him for being able to be summoned by the Great Elder from time to time, but only he knew how tormented he was every time he faced the Great Elder.
"Young master, I prepared mint milk tea for you, do you want to have some?" As soon as he got out of the carriage, a young woman dressed as a maid greeted her.
"Thank you, Lina! Of course, if you can, it would be nice to bring me some more cake. ”
"That's fine!"
Lying on the sofa at home, Doro, who sunk himself deep into the soft sofa, completely relaxed.
"Did the elder call you over because of Young Master Morey's business?" Lina took a plate in one hand and brought the milk tea and cake steadily.
"Whew, yes, the old man is not at ease!" After taking a sip of milk tea with satisfaction, Doro stretched his body comfortably, and in his own home, he could put down the humble mask that he had been holding outside.
"My younger brother is also a jealous talent, the demon and the dragon clan are mixed, and it is incredible that the bloodlines of both sides have been purified, just think about it makes it incredible......"
"But the result is not calculated, even his life can only be saved by his mother's forbidden secret technique of the Snow Clan, and the flesh and blood cage." Lina seemed to be transformed into a Persian cat, curled up limply in Doro's arms and said lazily.
Although Doro's figure can be considered burly, it is indeed more challenging for her slender body.
"But you can't let it go! The lich Norad, who had taken away the family's chief medicine physician, Sikorade, performed [Punishment] at the cost of his flesh and ashes and his soul. Soul Cutting], when he forcibly withstood the power of the flesh cage and consumed half of Morey's soul, didn't everyone think he was dead? As a result, hum! Doro didn't know what to think, and his fingers as he pinched the cup turned white.
"If it weren't for the fact that the man used the family force to fight in a foreign land in order to treat his son's incomplete soul wounds, the master would not have ......"
"Smack!" The teacup was directly crushed by Doro, and in the empty room, the sound was crisp.
"I'm tired, you go out!" Feeling the chill on the man's body, Lina had already consciously left this Doro's arms.
"Yes!" Lina lowered her head and slowly exited the room.
As a smart woman, she naturally knows when to be coquettish, and now is not the time to be coquettish.
"You all deserve to die!"
"Click, click......"
The sound of skeleton grinding slowly came from the long and deep cavern, and a humanoid skeleton shone with a blue soul fire, piercing through the darkness in the distance and appearing in front of everyone.
"I'll do it!" Morey finished speaking towards Hyde and stepped forward with his sword.
Hyde stood silently behind him, rushing forward if something changed.
The skeleton may have been a sword and shield bearer in its lifetime, but the wooden shield had long since rotted, and only a rusty rusty knife was still in his hand. At first, the sword and shield skeleton seemed to be strolling, but as soon as it spotted the living creature, it suddenly became excited, and its speed changed to a trot.
Although he couldn't stand his own kick when he looked at the skeleton, when the sword and shield skeleton slashed at him with a knife, Morey still conservatively erected the door panel guard, intending to use the heavy sword in his right hand to block the rusty knife and then deflect it, destroy the center of gravity of the skeleton, and then use the heavy sword in his left hand to easily remove its head. Hyde looked at Morey's defensive counterattack moves, and also nodded slightly, not underestimating his enemies, so that he could live longer on the battlefield.
Until the moment the sword and shield skeleton slashed to the spine of the heavy sword, a puff of green smoke rose, and there was a wordless silence all around.
After a while, Mark said, "I'm going to go to the front!" This broke the silence.
"Hyde, well done!" Morey slapped Hyde on the shoulder with a smile.
Just now, the rusty knife of the sword and shield skeleton came into contact with the heavy sword, and suddenly the heavy divine power accumulated in the heavy sword had a breakthrough, and it rushed into the skeleton's body along the rusty knife, purifying it into a pile of black ash (skeleton: You don't play cards according to the routine!). )。
After such a small episode, everyone couldn't help but feel relaxed. Originally, a group of high-level combat forces came to this low-level undead land to crush, but Morey's identity was too important, and the group was a little afraid of bumping into it. Now that those two torch-like heavy swords are ready, don't think about any undead who can enter Morey's body.
During this period, Morey experienced several contact battles between the sword, shield, skeleton and bone arrow, and the two giant swords attacked high and defended, whether it was a rusty knife or a bone arrow, all of them were crushed, and the enemy was crushed at the touch of a button, which made Morey's interest can't help but rise.
After slaying the undead creatures a few times, Morey could feel that some souls could be absorbed by himself, but the amount was too small, and he speculated that it would take at least a few hundred battles like this to get a chance to strengthen himself once in the Blood Moon.
The heavy sword spun sideways, and another zombie was slapped on the mine, and although it struggled to get up, its limbs were broken but it couldn't use any strength, and finally it was pierced through the shriveled head by the giant sword.
Zombies have more soul energy than skeletons, but it's also limited, which is equivalent to the amount of two skeletons.
"Young master, we have to get out!" Hyde grabbed Morey and stopped him from moving on. It's been a while since they've been down, and considering that it will take time to go back, it's just right to go back. The more Morey played, the more excited he became, he was no longer as cautious as before, and Hyde was also afraid that he would be injured by carelessness, so he just went back to calm down.
Knowing that today's monster fighting upgrade trip was here, Morey had no choice but to follow Hyde back to the camp.
Unfortunately, he was only halfway there, but there was a faint rumbling sound of running from behind.
"Not good!" Mark's face changed.
Suddenly, a stone wall technique blocked the hole behind him, and the rumbling sound that was far away almost instantaneously had already arrived in front of him. Everyone looked behind them, and the solid stone wall only lasted for a short moment before it collapsed, and countless rat-shaped skeletons gathered from all directions to form a gray-white river of skeletons, sweeping towards them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hyde had not drawn the war knife since he came in, and it was instantly in his hand. Lift your breath, slash! The action was completed in one go, and suddenly the huge river of white bones was split into a gap more than ten meters long. Just get out of the way of where they are.
Taking advantage of the slightest respite, Mark almost turned into a "six-armed Naga", and his hands kept sealing, and he continuously cast [Fossils into Mud], [Stone Shaping Technique], [Reinforcement Technique], [Mire Technique], [Greasy Technique] and other spells to hinder their progress, and finally when the bone beast hit in front of him, a magic rope fell from the sky and rolled up five people.
"Bumper" rat-shaped skeletons slammed into the pale yellow sacred protective barrier, and before the purification power could take effect, they were smashed into the barrier by the river of bones behind them. This kind of small bone beast can be killed at will even by those mortal women and children, but once it is swept up and collectively impacted, even if it is a legend, it must be avoided.
Stonewall 2.0, which had been strengthened by Fortification and Protective Enchantment, didn't last long before it collapsed. The quagmire was filled in in an instant, and the spells that slowed down the speed such as the greasy technique had little effect, and looking at the sea of rats rolling under their feet, several people hiding in the space of another dimension couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, almost!
"Your Excellency Mark, is that spell just now the legendary ......" Facing the savior, Hyde was rarely polite.
"Yes, it is the [Magic Rope Technique] that is as famous as the [Demon Duncan Mansion Technique], my lord has always been generous!" Mark said with a hint of pride as he caressed the emblem carved with the image of the wind-riding long-bearded old man wearing a traveler's cloak. The magic rope technique and the magic Duncan mansion technique are both lost ancient spells, known as the necessary magic skills for home travel and escape, as the god of travel and exploration, he will naturally not let go of this kind of spell, I didn't expect to experience one today, it is indeed a miraculous skill. However, it is said that only one person can climb up at the same time, and the other person can go up, but just now the magic rope grabbed everyone flexibly like an octopus and pulled everyone into the other dimensional space at the same time, it seems that this is still an improved version of Sandakor.
The five of them hid in the extradimensional space of almost ten square meters above the mine, and the rats below seemed to be completely unaware and ran towards the exit of the mine. Observing this through the window, Morey couldn't help frowning.
"Hyde, can you inform ......?"
"It's too late for the young master!" Hyde shook his head. The undead had gathered so quickly and so suddenly that they could already faintly hear the kobolds screaming.
"If the kobold can't keep it, the big camp will also suffer heavy losses!" If the impact of the tide of the dead is still possible to be eliminated before it gathers, once it is formed, it will be like a flood that breaks the embankment.
Hyde and Mark looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. Morey and the two shield guards don't know, don't the two of them understand! The undead impact formed by this bone beast was clearly deliberately summoned and gathered by someone, and the entwined smell of corrupt undead spells could be smelled from afar. In other words, there is at least one high-level necromancer who is spying on them in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
As for the target, it must be this Morey next to him. Faist too. Unexpectedly, just a little news of physical recovery came out, which attracted a necromancer who had been cultivating for a long time. The Far East is no better than the South, with a small population and low temperatures, making it an ideal place for necromancers. Those people did not hesitate to send a necromancer far south to attack, on the one hand, to test and on the other hand, they didn't want to go into the water too early, and there was at least a fig leaf to die in the undead onslaught.
