Although Basel has been working as a librarian in Doland's library, he has a very great prestige in the hearts of the magicians of the Breezy Plains, and many magicians who have received his guidance.

A few days after Basel returned, Lin Li received a letter from Hoffmann, saying that the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce was ready, and the exploration team had set off from the city of Rafalia. The letter agreed on a meeting point near the Grand Canyon of Gargas, so there was no need to take people to the city of Rafalia on the side of the Tower of Dusk.

Regarding the composition of the team exploring the ruins this time, considering that this exploration may be the ruins of the High Elf royal family, Lin Li did not take it lightly in the slightest in terms of the strength of the team. First of all, there are the two legendary undead servants Nophile and Uy Farusi, then Conneris with a perfect body and Angelano with an alchemy colossus, and then Basel who has just returned, and Elan who has just stepped into the legend, and a mage group composed of a hundred archmages. This time, Lin Li said that it was almost the same as the nest dispatch, anyway, the legendary-level combat power could be brought with it.

As for the safety of the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li was not worried, with the words of the Ash Warlock, almost no one on the Light Wind Plains dared to blatantly move the Tower of Dusk, so there was almost no need to leave too many guard forces. Moreover, even if someone has the idea of fighting the Tower of Dusk, there is a magic crystal cannon in the Tower of Dusk, and it is a killing array in all directions, and there is a powerful eternal furnace on the top of the tower, as long as the other party is not a strong person in the Holy Domain, it doesn't matter if he has no return.

The exploration team of the Tower of Twilight set off for the Grand Canyon of Gargas, and on the way, they scared the forces who paid attention to the Tower of Twilight, especially those who had offended the Tower of Twilight, and they were even more frightened, thinking that this was to settle accounts. And the five major families of the Mithril Alliance, after getting the news, made a state of full alert, and the headquarters of each family were full of chickens and dogs, and even began to prepare for the back road.

Yes, the Ash Warlock had said that no one was allowed to break the existing peace, but who was the scorer. Judging from the gathering in Gran Town, it was clear that the Ember Warlock valued the leader of the Tower of Twilight, and perhaps had already reached some agreement during the secret talks in the Tower of Ashes.

However, what those forces want to do is not what Lin Li cares about. The exploration party made its way back to the northern border of the Light Wind Plain, and then entered Lokdanmo, heading for the agreed location with Hoffmann.

A few days later, the team of the Tower of Dusk arrived near the Grand Canyon of Gargarz, and joined up with the team of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, which had already set up camp here.

Hoffman, who got the news, greeted him out of the camp with several high-ranking officials of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce. After meeting Lin Li and the others, Hoffman saw Basel beside Lin Li at a glance and was immediately startled. Although Basel has been living a life similar to seclusion in Doland's library, with his prestige among magicians, how could Hoffman, as the president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, not know him.

Hoffman didn't bother to greet Lin Li, but asked Basel with some surprise: "Master Basel, ...... are you?"

Basel smiled and said, "I'm now in the Tower of Dusk. ”

Hearing this answer, Hoffman was even more shocked, and his eyes turned to Lin Li, revealing the meaning of inquiry.

Lin Li had already expected Hoffman's surprise, so he explained: "Master Basel has agreed to serve as the chief judge of the Tower of Twilight, but this exploration operation has not yet held an inauguration ceremony. ”

In the Magic Guild, the Inquisitor is an extremely important position, and the rights of this position are not even below the Guild Master. The Chief Inquisitor has full authority over anything related to the safety of the guild, and sometimes even overrides the guild leader's authority. It is no exaggeration to say that the chief judge is, in a way, equivalent to another guild leader. Therefore, unlike other members who join the guild, the chief judge also needs a very formal inauguration ceremony.

Lin Li asked the team to set up a camp nearby, and then took Basel and the others to enter the camp of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce at the invitation of Hoffman. The power of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce this time is not small, the legendary mage Thomas, the sword saint Gereni, the legendary mage Alvin, and two are the twin legendary assassins Jia and Schoke. In addition to these major shareholders, almost half of the mage group of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce came, and there were about a hundred great magicians. In addition, there are a hundred warriors above the fifteenth level, all of whom are the elite of the Heavenly Fire Knights, but due to the environment here, they did not bring war horses.

The high-ranking officials of both sides sat in their tents in the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, and Hoffman took out a map, which was the map of the Gargas Gorge, but the drawing on it was incomplete, and it should obviously be drawn by the previous exploration team.

However, not long after everyone was discussing the exploration plan in the tent, suddenly there was a noise in the camp outside, and then a warrior broke into the tent and said, "Elder, there are a large number of undead creatures outside the camp. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, at this time it was still daytime outside, and ordinary low-level undead creatures could not move in the sun, and a large number of undead creatures appeared at this time, no matter how you thought about it, it was a little weird.

Sunlight is a natural holy light, and although it usually does not have too strong purification power due to the dispersion of power, it is also quite deadly to low-level undead creatures. Even in places where the undead gather, such as Shadow Valley and Death Scar, there is a dense fog of death to block them from the sun, and low-level undead will honestly sleep underground during the day.

Now in the Grand Canyon of Gargas, it is still a sunny day, and the sunlight is particularly dazzling under the reflection of the ice and snow, giving people a stronger illusion than usual. But in such an environment, when they came to the outside of the camp, Lin Li, Hoffman and the others saw that a thousand meters away from the camp, there were dense undead creatures surging like a white tide.

Seeing the undead creatures rushing towards the camp, Lin Li and the others couldn't help but be stunned, these undead creatures were a little different from what they had seen before, and it was no wonder that after discovering these undead creatures, the camp would suddenly be noisy.

The types of undead creatures can be seen at a glance, and the one who rushes to the forefront is still the eternal cannon fodder skeleton warrior among the undead creatures. It's just that these skeleton warriors are wrapped in crystal and shining ice, as if they are wearing a crystal armor, shining in the sun. The bones that were originally thin in their bodies were also much stronger under the wrapping of the ice armor, and even a little more powerful.

Another thing that Lin Li and others paid attention to was that the types of these skeleton warriors were also very mixed, not all of them were formed by human bones, some of them were shorter but the bones of dwarves were thicker, and some of the bones had horns on the top or fangs on top of them, which were obviously related to orcs. And behind these human, dwarf, and orc skeleton warriors, there are also some giant skeletons that are more than four meters high, which are actually giant bones that claim to have the blood of the Titans.

"Legend has it that this was once a battlefield where various races fought each other, and it seems to be true." Looking at the undead creatures getting closer and closer, Hoffman said to himself.

The Grand Canyon of Gargarz is known as an impassable moat, but it does not divide the entire continent into two halves. The place where the teams of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk converged, although it was not at the end of the Grand Canyon, it was only about a hundred miles apart, and the terrain here was relatively easy to enter the canyon. It is said that it was here that in order to resist the rule of the High Elves in history, the resistance alliance of several major races had several major wars with the High Elf army.

Perhaps at the time, the Resistance League also wanted to take advantage of the cold environment here, hoping to have some effect on the High Elves, but it turned out that the High Elves just didn't like the cold. As for the outcome of the war, it is said that under the white ice and snow here, hundreds of thousands of lives of the rebels were buried, including many powerful people of various ethnic groups who were famous at the beginning.

However, due to the harsh environment here, cold and dry, it did not have a strong rancid smell like the Shadow Valley and Death Traces, and the gloomy aura that permeated the Grand Canyon was extremely strong, after Lin Li and the others came here, they didn't particularly notice the hidden aura of death. At this time, seeing the undead creatures in ice armor, everyone remembered the legend about this place.

Although those undead creatures were strangely shaped, and all of them were wrapped in armor-like ice, they were only some low-level skeleton warriors and hell bones after all, and they could not pose any substantial threat to this exploration team composed of three or four hundred powerhouses above the fifteenth level.

After the undead creatures entered the shooting range, the great mages who had already prepared raised their staffs in their hands, and suddenly pieces of magical light shone brightly, and the magical elements in the space exploded instantly as if they had encountered the oil of Mars. Although there were less than a hundred great mages who launched the magic attack, the magic storm formed by the various magic spells was quite amazing, sweeping towards the undead creatures like a storm.

All of a sudden, ice and bone chips flew all over the sky, and the rising mist almost completely obscured the area. When the fog cleared and everything was calm, the menacing army of the undead had completely disappeared from the outside of the camp, leaving only stumps and severed arms everywhere. On the side of the exploration team's camp, some of the magicians of the Tower of Dusk continued to build their camp as if nothing had happened just now.

Although those undead creatures were a little weird, but seeing that this strength was not much stronger than normal, Lin Li shook his head slightly, not taking this matter to heart. However, when Lin Li turned around and was about to return to the tent of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce with everyone to continue discussing the exploration plan, he saw that the expressions of Uyi Farusi and Nophile behind him were a little strange.

Seeing the two of them staring in the direction where the army of the undead came, as if a person who had been hungry for many days saw a table of sumptuous food, Lin Li's heart suddenly understood, and he said with a smile: "You two don't have to follow me, just do whatever you want." After speaking, he followed Hoffman and the others back to the tent.

Hearing Lin Li's command, Uyfarussi and Nophile smiled and walked out of the camp not far away, chanting a short incantation in the direction where the army of the undead had been wiped out. After the chanting of the incantation, I saw that the place that had been calm suddenly flashed countless points of light, like a swarm of fireflies, swarming towards the two of them.

These are the soul fires of the group of undead creatures just now, but unfortunately, under the washing of the magic storm, many of them have been completely extinguished, and the rest are all broken like this, which is much worse than the complete soul fire. After absorbing these soul fires, Nofil and Uyfarusi glanced at each other with great interest, and returned to the tent of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce under the strange gazes of everyone around them, but they did not go in, but waited outside.

In the tent, Lin Li, Hoffman and the others talked a few words about the undead creatures just now, but they didn't have a clue, so they continued to discuss the plan to explore the ruins. However, not long after the group resumed conversation, there was another explosion of magic outside, and someone came in to report that another group of undead creatures had stormed the camp. Only this time, everyone knew the strength of those strange-looking undead creatures, and they didn't make a fuss about it, and they didn't send someone to report to everyone until they eliminated the group of undead creatures.

"Strange, what's wrong with these undead creatures, even if the camp has the breath of the living, it won't make them even afraid of the sun." After hearing his subordinates' report, Hoffman couldn't help but frown and mutter.

"Master Hoffman, didn't the exploration team you sent out before find a large number of undead creatures here?" Lin Li asked strangely. Hoffman once said that he had sent a fifty-man expedition to confirm the authenticity of the clue, and only two people returned alive, so didn't their report mention the undead creatures?

Hoffman shook his head, pointed to a point on the map, and said to Lin Li and the others: "The exploration team entered from the beginning of the canyon more than a hundred miles away from here, and only encountered sporadic undead creatures along the way, and has not encountered such a large group of undead creatures on such a large scale, so this information has not been included in the key matters to pay attention to. ”

"Then why didn't we meet at the beginning of the canyon where they walked, and chose this location?" Lin Li then asked. Since the exploration team has explored it in front of him, theoretically speaking, it is obviously much easier to enter according to the explored route, which is also a problem that Lin Li has been puzzled about since he was notified of the meeting place.
