Chapter 182: The Lich's Intelligence
In this battle, except for Caesar and George, who only rose to about the middle of the 4th order, the others all had the strength of the late 4th order.
Those three demons also reached the late stage of the 4th order with the level compression, but if they were restored to the 9th order, the level they had raised would not be counted.
Locke looked at the vast number of demon corpses and let out a long sigh, if they were usually outside, they could be directly stored in the castle, but now they are in an independent space inside the castle, so they can't collect the corpses.
"When we get out, let the Death Knight come over and drag them away one by one."
As if she could see his thoughts, Retia took off her mask as she spoke, and after exercising, she was drenched in sweat, and the slightly wet silver-white hair next to her looked like a different kind of beauty.
"Brother-in-law, what are we going to do next?" Amy took off her mask, looked left and right for a long time, and finally asked, "Are you going to clean up that big lizard?" ”
After listening to Amy's words, Locke withdrew his gaze to look at Retia, thought for a moment, turned his head and pointed to the wall of the ancestral hall and said, "Go there and rest, maybe the person I have to wait for will be there soon." ”
"Who are you waiting for?" Amy asked curiously.
Locke did not answer, and Amy, who could not get an answer, could only sit with her sisters somewhere in a fairly clean place by the ancestral hall wall, resting quietly with snacks and water, while Timus excitedly recounted the experience of the battle just now.
"I'm telling you, I'm the best way to deal with demons!"
"That ....."
"Listen to me first, George, do you know how dangerous you are just now, and I saved you in the end."
Timus kept spitting at the vampires, minotaurs, and ghouls sitting around her, and Gillias next to him tried to open his mouth several times, but was finally stopped by the, while Aklas sat quietly in the cleared space with his eyes closed.
Locke scooped up the Holy Spirit from the well again, and then sat on the edge of the well and watched it quietly in thought.
With the number of demons of that scale just now, the Legion of Light that attacked here should have been in a bitter battle, the disadvantage of the elite is that there are few people, so did they survive in the end?
Thinking of this, Locke turned his head to look in the direction of the ancestral hall and muttered in a low voice: "That lost person set up an enchantment here, and judging by his appearance, he should have found a teammate." ”
After speaking, he turned his head in the direction of the ancestral hall, and then came to the door with the Holy Spirit, and entered, I don't know what was enshrined inside, but there was only one gate here, and the walls around the entire ancestral hall were full of various marks that had been cut by swords and claws, obviously, the demon had already captured here.
"So how did they get Betty to go outside and sacrifice?"
Locke looked around, then quietly looked at the holy spirit in front of him with a dull expression and a soft halo all over his body.
Although its appearance is a bit vague, I have to say that it should be quite beautiful when it was alive, plus it has a kind heart, no wonder it will become an angel in people's minds.
"Don't you think Betty might be the last to arrive?" Behind her, Retia's voice rang out, and she had answered after hearing Locke muttering to herself.
Locke turned his head to see that several Nemises had entered.
"Brother-in-law, why are you investigating this?"
Amy turned her head and asked, stroking the marks on the walls around her, in her opinion, these are all in the past, even if you figure it out now, it's useless, this kind of meaningless thing, George likes to do the most.
"Only by knowing the past can we determine the direction of the present, and the future will not be lost." Locke replied with a smile, and then looked at Rhodia, "There are a lot of demons, and the human elites who can attack here must not be too many, so how did they tear a hole in the demon group surrounded by them, and then after sacrificing Betty, they sealed all the monsters in the well?" ”
This question, the other few looked puzzled after hearing it, of course, Locke didn't expect them to answer, but Retia was an exception, she was smart and should understand what Locke wanted to express.
"You're saying they used some kind of treasure or prop?" After pondering, Rhodia looked up and asked.
"That's right." Locke nodded with satisfaction, "And there is not just one, at least there should be more than two, one is to split the demon's encirclement network so that outsiders can reach the well smoothly." The other is to absorb all the demons into the well, and then have Betty sacrifice to become the Holy Spirit to suppress the main demon force left here. ”
After hearing this, Rhedia immediately said: "The prop that absorbs demons must have been used, and what we are looking for is the treasure that splits the demon group and safely escorts humans to the well, right?" ”
"Oh, that's right, my lady, you're better than I thought."
As he spoke, Locke reached out and gently stroked the hair on her shoulder, which made Retia's cheeks flush unconsciously, but the thought of her sisters still standing next to her quickly put the mask on.
After feeling the gazes of the few people next to him, Locke smiled and said to them, "You guys are also excellent. ”
"Do you still have to say that?" Amy came over and took her eldest sister's arm and said proudly, "Although I can't compare to my sister, but ask yourself, I am indeed very good." ”
Doris turned her head to look at her, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, and put on the mask one after another.
When Cora saw that both of them had put on their masks, she hurriedly followed suit, while Amy stood there with a smug expression.
Now that he has two Holy Spirits in his hands, and the second one is more powerful than the first, then the leader of Valkyrie will let this girl named Betty serve as the leader.
The next thing to focus on is their weapons, and if there is something that can cleave through a huge group of demons, then there are two possibilities, either a one-time item or a handsome piece of equipment.
Locke prefers the latter, because they are here to seal the main demon force, and they don't have any plans to die with them, after all, other places still need support.
So what kind of equipment will it be? Is it that holy spear?
Just as Locke was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a noise outside.
"The person I'm waiting for has arrived, let's get out." Locke looked at everyone and said with a smile, Amy and the others were curious for a while, who was the king waiting for?
When the group went out, they found that there were more lichs among the demons sitting together in the distance, but to Locke's surprise, Harriet actually came with them.
Seeing the head maid and the other girls happily getting together, Locke secretly controlled the consciousness of her and the lich, and after making sure that they were themselves, he walked towards the lich......
"Tell me what you've been through, Louie."
After the reunion, a group of people sat together as usual, but this time the focus was all on the lich, who had been ignored by everyone before, and the lich still seemed quite calm, and even the red dots in the empty eye sockets never flickered.
If it had been Demose, the nose would have been cocked.
"I left you a message before, there is a treasure hidden here, I think you have got it now."
Locke nodded, motioning for it to continue.
The lich paused slightly, continuing to speak in a rather calm voice about its experiences and opinions.
When it first encountered 'Locke', it had already realized that the guy in front of it was not its owner, but it didn't make a noise, and left without hurrying after making an excuse, and when it met Locke with Doris, Caesar and Accra behind it, it had a faint feeling of 'this is real'.
But just in case, the information is briefly told in the form of a dumb riddle, because it believes that if the king in front of him is real, then he should be able to understand and will take that place as a target and eventually get there.
As it turned out, its guess was correct.
After exploring the rest of the place, feeling that the information had been almost gathered, the lich met Harriet in wandering, and then brought her here directly, regardless of whether the other party was true or not, because it knew that the king could judge the true identity of his family.
After listening to the lich's briefing, the minotaur and Timus next to him put their arms around its neck, and said loudly, 'I can't tell, you usually don't say a word, but when it matters, you're smarter than us, you kid is very good'.
When Locke heard this, he shook his head and sighed in his heart: if its IQ was only at the level of an imbecile, then the Holy Spirit would not want it.
"Tell me about your findings." Locke motioned for the lich to continue.
"I didn't see Anne, presumably she couldn't get in, so there should be a lot of holy weapons left over without being emptied. But I walked a lot of fields along the way, but I didn't see it, and I think it was probably all gathered together by the Lord of the Illusion. ”
"Not bad." Locke looked at it and smiled and nodded, although he had expected it, but it made quite sense to be able to say it from the mouth of his subordinates.
Because except for Rhetia around him, most of the others will move around like headless flies when they encounter emergencies, which will inevitably make big mistakes in wartime, after all, in such a chaotic situation, only Locke may not be able to take care of them all, and at least a few assistants around him need to share the command task.
Some of the guys around the lich were stunned for a moment when they heard this message, and then they all revealed, 'Is that so?' 's expression.
Locke didn't answer them, he asked the question he wanted to know most at the moment:
"You must have explored a lot of places, right? So the way to the Lord of Illusion or the clue, have you found it? ”
When everyone heard this, they all focused their eyes on the lich again, and the lich turned to look at the people, and finally nodded, "Found it, if you wish, I can take you there now." (To be continued)
