Chapter 780: Undead Monsters
In the Traces of Death, when he first got the blueprint of the Sky City, the conquest pattern composed of the streets and the thirty-six towers on the drawing, it was precisely because of the existence of the Conquest Demon Pattern that he quickly deduced that the treasure map in the mouth of the Marfa family was actually the blueprint of the Sky City.
However, at that time, although Lin Li confirmed that the blueprint of the Sky Castle in his hand was in his hand, and although he recognized the complex streets that most people were puzzled by as the Conquest Demon Pattern, his knowledge of the Sky City was limited to this. At that time, he was just a great magician who touched the edge of the legend, and neither his strength nor knowledge was enough to judge the mystery of these towers from the design drawings.
But now, Lin Li is really in the Sky City, and his understanding of the Sky City is far from being comparable to simply observing from the plane drawings. Moreover, when he was on the sixth floor of the Central Tower, he also received countless messages in his mind that were forced into his mind from that magic crystal. Therefore, the thirty-six towers that were fused with the Conquest Demon Pattern finally had a new understanding.
Lin Li clearly felt that the thirty-six towers, in addition to being the mage tower, in addition to being the magic node of conquering the magic pattern, each tower actually had the characteristics of a psychic tower. To put it simply, the psychic tower is the mage tower of the necromancer, but the various magic patterns and alchemy circles in it are all biased towards necromancer magic, which is conducive to the necromancer's strength.
It's just that due to the notoriety of necromancers in the Anriel Continent, it is generally difficult to see a real psychic tower. Once a necromancer starts to build a psychic tower, it will almost inevitably attract a large number of strong people to attack, at least on the side of the Temple of Light, there will definitely not be any necromancer who succeeds in building a psychic tower.
However, if it was just a single psychic tower, at most it would be a little surprising to Lin Li. What really frightened Lin Li was the arrangement of the thirty-six towers, if the factor of conquering the demon pattern was excluded, just looking at the position of the thirty-six towers, it was a huge psychic array.
Lin Li himself couldn't tell if the memory of the psychic array was his own original, or if it was one of the many pieces of information that the magic crystal had instilled into him. He only knew that after he saw the arrangement of the thirty-six towers, the information of the psychic array naturally came to his mind.
When it comes to psychic arrays, most people may think of demonic arrays, but Lin Li, who originally didn't know much about undead magic, knew very well at this time that psychic arrays didn't actually belong to the category of alchemy and inscriptions. This is a real, typical necromancer array, and it is an irreplaceable ultimate dream for every necromancer.
It's a pity that in the current Anriel Continent, the vast majority of necromancers, without the strong strength of Sendros and the powerful background of the Dark Temple that can compete with the Temple of Light, it is not an easy thing to survive. As for the Psychic Tower, owning one can only be a luxury, let alone a psychic array composed of a Psychic Tower.
Everyone knows that for a necromancer, the strength of the strength does not only depend on his personal level, but more on the strength of the undead creatures he summons. And the biggest effect embodied by the psychic array is to strengthen the undead creatures.
The psychic array can transform the various elemental powers absorbed from space into the power of death necessary for undead creatures, creating a space similar to the undead world. In this space, the almost endless power of death will make the strength of undead creatures increase exponentially.
Moreover, there is also one of the most direct ways for undead creatures to increase their strength, which is to absorb the soul fire of other undead creatures. In addition to converting the elements in the space into the power of death, the psychic array can also collect the soul fire of the undead creatures killed in battle and store them for the undead creatures in them to absorb. It is said that through the psychic array, even legendary-level undead creatures can be cultivated, and its effect is probably not inferior to that of the dark star fragments.
Of course, the undead creatures summoned are powerful, and sometimes they may not always be good things for necromancers. Just like a magician uses magic, the more powerful the high-level magic, the longer it will take to cast a spell. As for the necromancer, the stronger the undead creatures summoned, the longer it will take to summon them. And the longer the summoning time, the more susceptible it is to interference from enemies, and the more dangerous it is for the necromancer himself, and even the summoned undead creatures will rebel.
Therefore, the length of time for summoning is self-evident for necromancers. And this is also another extremely important benefit of the psychic array for necromancers. The undead creatures strengthened by the psychic array, while their strength continues to increase, will also continue to strengthen their connection with the necromancer, which can not only avoid the appearance of backlash, but also greatly shorten the summoning time. Just like the instantaneous magic that magicians pursue, it is not impossible for necromancers to achieve instantaneous summoning with the help of psychic arrays.
Among the people Lin Li knew, the most powerful necromancer was the dark high priest Sendros. Even from Lin Li's current point of view, the strength that Senderos once showed can only be described as unfathomable. Lin Li didn't know if Sendros had a psychic tower or a psychic array, after all, until now, he had never seen him actually summon undead creatures.
However, Lin Li was sure that if any necromancer had a psychic array, even the most rudimentary and basic psychic array, it would be enough for his strength to explode. may not be able to reach the height of Sendros, but it will definitely become a ruthless character on the Anriel continent that no one dares to mess with.
And now the psychic array in Sky City is not a basic thing, but it is definitely powerful to the point of perversion. Thirty-six towers are the maximum limit of the formation of a psychic array, and each tower is even more extravagant.
Although these towers cannot be compared to the central tower of the Immortal King's residence, whether it is the materials used to build them, or the top-level magic patterns and alchemy circles carefully painted on the towers, they are all the brainchild of the High Elves. Take out any one alone and put it on the Anriel Continent, whether it is as a mage tower or as a necromancer's psychic tower, it is definitely a treasure that any mage dreams of.
The psychic array composed of such a powerful thirty-six towers is unimaginably strong, and I am afraid that for the undead creatures in it, the effect is not inferior to that of a magician bathing in the magic tide.
1,300 years, maybe even longer, under the conception of this psychic array, God knows how terrifying the undead creatures in it have grown. Just imagining it is enough to drive people crazy, can't those crazy people of the High Elves do something a little more normal!
I thought that after exploring the central tower, this operation finally came to a successful end, and everything would not be a little more turbulent. But Lin Li never thought that when he left here, there would be another accident, and it would be so outrageous.
Through the spiritual power that was extended, Lin Li had clearly seen that at this moment, the thirty-six towers had been completely wrapped in a thick black mist. And from the endless black mist, the huge aura of death emitted was transmitted through the surging spiritual power, which instantly made Lin Li's face turn pale.
Noticing the strangeness on Lin Li's face, Sein, Elder Randy and the others couldn't hold back any longer, and while they were on full alert, they each used their own means to detect the changes around them. However, at this time, the Sky City has returned to its original dead silence, even though the canopy in the sky is still radiating, but the environment of the entire Sky City is extremely dim, which brings great obstacles to everyone's detection.
Seon released the wizard's eye and scanned around the air, but all he saw was darkness, so he had to spread his spiritual power again, trying to find out if there was anything hidden around him. However, although he is a twenty-first level legendary mage, in terms of spiritual power, Sain still can't compare with Lin Li, and wanting to explore the entire Sky City is tantamount to a fool's dream.
However, Sain did not find nothing, at least after the spiritual power was distributed, he found that the entity resentful spirits that had made him suffer a lot had disappeared one by one and evaporated out of thin air. This alone is enough to show that there is indeed an abnormality in Sky City at this moment, although the reason is still unclear, but Sain believes that this anomaly definitely means that a drastic change is coming.
"It's those towers, those towers scattered around Sky City, and I seem to see something terrible happening!" Princess Eluni suddenly opened her closed eyes and said to Elder Randy with some horror.
Although she does not possess the magic crystal that controls the city in the sky like Lin Li, with the help of the power of the Song of the Heart, Princess Eluni has used the archer's legendary skill Hearteye Arrow, and finally sees the abnormal changes in those towers.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Elder Randy did not doubt Princess Elune's words, even though her strength had only just reached the legendary level, and she was the weakest among them all. However, the Arrow of the Heart's Eye, a legendary skill, was created specifically for the archer profession by Hel the Windwhisperer. With this skill, the archer can spot enemies out of sight and end their lives with sharp arrows. It is precisely because of this skill that Hel the Wind Whisperer can kill the king of the Kingdom of Ryding with an accurate arrow thousands of miles away.
Of course, Eluni can't be so perverted, but with the power of the song of the heart, it is enough to see something out of sight at this time. However, it is clear that Eluni is still limited by her strength, and what she sees is not clear or complete.
Lin Li holds the magic crystal that controls the sky city, although he can't really control the sky city, but all the changes in the sky city can't escape his eyes at this time. While Eluni was still telling Elder Randy about the changes in those towers, Lin Li had already seen that just above the sky of the sky city, a black shadow was rapidly condensing in the darkness, and it seemed to be giving birth to an undead creature that made people tremble.
The thirty-six towers, the thick black fog shrouded outside, like the same black python, continued to converge towards the rolling black shadows in the sky. If it were a bright environment, such a grand scene would surely immediately attract everyone's attention, but here, even Lin Li could only be discovered with the help of the magic crystal in his hand.
Lin Li knew in his heart that the powerful undead creatures that were being bred in the sky probably existed in this sky city long ago. As for the sake of himself and the others, when they entered, they did not cause this mutation, presumably the undead creature appeared for some reason and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Li looked at the magic crystal in his hand, the awakening of the undead creature was inseparable from the fact that he had broken through the labyrinth of order and taken away the magic crystal that controlled the sky city. It's just that Lin Li has never been able to think of a reason for the origin of this undead creature. If it was left by the Immortal King, then I am afraid that when I and the others came in, I am afraid it should have awakened it. There's no reason to let it come out to stop you from leaving after you take the magic crystal.
Since it is unlikely that he will be the Immortal King, then there are only those who come after him, but this Sky City is like another holy place outside the Eternal Tree among the High Elves, and ordinary High Elves are not qualified to stand on it. Not to mention transforming the thirty-six towers into psychic towers, forming this powerful psychic array, and leaving behind a powerful undead creature, ordinary high elves probably don't have this ability.
It is said that at the end of the Dark Ages, the High Elf Empress once set foot in this city in the sky, and here inherited a powerful weapon from the Immortal King. At that time, the Sky Cities of the High Elves were destroyed one after another, and the rule of the High Elves had reached a truly stormy situation.
The High Elf Empress put her last hope in the final battle with Gresco, hoping to save the High Elves from extinction with the help of the Immortal King's weapons. However, it is clear that the High Elf Empress failed, and the mage god Gresco not only won the final victory, but also destroyed the Eternal Tree, so that the High Elves completely lost the opportunity to turn over.
With the strength of the High Elf Empress, she is completely capable of doing this, but with her pride, I am afraid that death will not have anything to do with the undead creatures.
And in addition to the High Elf Empress, in Lin Li's opinion, the only one who is most suspicious is the Great Lord Osric. The pieces of paper in the Immortal King's laboratory clearly indicate that Osric had ascended the Sky City and looted almost everything of value.
