Chapter 10: The Drought Lich

ps: Modify the wording. Thanks to the "Hedgehog That Does Not Hibernate", "Common Leaves Drifting", "Light Fish", and "Clear Night Starry Sky" for the big monthly tickets, as well as the big reward of "Taking Clouds and Moon".

I'm really tired today, and the descriptions of the Drought Lich template and the advanced class of Wasteland Walker seem to have been forgotten by the Orchard's translators. So I had to work as a coolie myself (there are too many self-turning private goods, just take a look.) )

The sand golem doesn't seem to have been translated in China, and the English is working hard. If it's done, I'll have an orchard when it's done!

'Canopic Jar' Barrett prefers to call them mummy gut jars, which are essentially the lich's lifebox. It's just that, as with the legendary spell 'Crate Splitting', the sheer number of them must be destroyed before the undead known as the Drought Lich will die completely. Otherwise, his form will be destroyed, and the opponent will be resurrected in 1-6 weeks. In terms of survivability, a drought lich with multiple 'life boxes' is far more powerful than the average lich.

Thinking of this, Barrett's face immediately became a little difficult, and he looked "I want to ask, Ms. Freya, do you really have a way to solve the problem once and for all?" Otherwise, if those bone racks come back, it will be troublesome. ”

"Are you worried about your safety?" Ms. Freya said directly from the half-reclining carpet.

Barrett shook his head: "I have something to be afraid of myself, I will go back to Boreham to get it after I have done this." There's no way that drought lich will hit Novartis! And the Drought Lich is not a Lich, how many means can they leave behind after leaving the desert! ”

If the Lich is one of the consequences of the Arcane Cacher's quest for eternal life, then the Drought Lich is the outlier of the Great Lich family—the Desert Divine Spellcasters no longer let the Arcane Caster excel in this project. They are a particularly terrifying part of the Undead Caster sequence. It is the ultimate achievement on the path of 'Desert Walker'.

Although it's the same as a lich in general. Drought lichs tend to be emaciated, skeletal humanoids. Although their withered muscles are tightly attached to the exposed bones. But the Drought Lich's body is covered with a glittering snow salt cover. Although their eyes have long since decayed. But compared to the Lich's crimson pupils, which also shone with an evil glow in their hollow eye sockets, the Drought Lich's eerie green pupils shuddered.

The most important thing is that the Drought Lich is usually dressed in casual attire for teachers and students, rather than the typical lavish costumes with folds that are often worn by lichs. Some of the undead who speak out from these priests will even favor load-bearing armor that resists blows. After all, there is no such thing as a failure to pierce armor in divine arts, and there are dehydration and thermal effects that are immune even before they become undead.

"Indeed! Most of the abilities gained by wasteland walkers on this path are indeed greatly diminished when they leave the desert. "Miss Freya finally stopped teasing Barrett, "When you leave Yale City, find a place to give you special training." So as not to be in a hurry after encountering those monsters under the target. ”

"Ms. Freya, do you mean the creatures of the Drought Lich?" Barrett said with some disapproval. With the experience during the test, although Barrett didn't dare to say that he hadn't seen any scenes, he really didn't have anything to worry about in front of him.

Ms. Freya's displeasure was written directly on her face: "You guy is too arrogant to write!" Don't think that just because you have extraordinary combat skills at a young age is a great thing. If you accidentally die in the desert, no one will collect your body. You must know that the creation of the Drought Lich is often slowly accumulated since the time of the Wasteland Walker, and the monsters under the hands of those who have a great reputation are not comparable to ordinary bone frames. ”

The Wasteland Walker is an advancement that shows the world the harsh desert and unforgiving nature. Their members are either priests representing the devastated and devastated Mansions, or Druids who follow Darwinism such as the law of the jungle. If there are some of the lichs who do not deliberately do evil, but whose souls have been corrupted by negative energy over the years, they have become distorted and disrespectful of life. But before the Drought Lich became undead, they were often a terrifying group of desert dwellers. Not to mention the fact that it is in an unnatural way, distorting the boundaries between life and death to attain 'eternal life' in the present.

Seeing each other's serious looks. Barrett couldn't refute it, so he could only agree: "Then what can you get for me to practice!" Salted Mummy or Sand Golem? ”

If you want to talk about the advanced class of 'wasteland walkers', you have to mention their two major abilities, one is to use up to 10,000 pounds of sand with magical materials that only they know and the sand golems created by elemental crystals - this kind of magical creations are often different from those arcane creations.

And the second is to harness the dark power of the wasteland. After enough to sustain and control a corpse, you give it a dehydrated nature, turning it into a terrible salted mummy. However, in Barrett's view, the way the drought lich is made seems to be an alternative kind of mummy compared to the common lich. This process of making zuò salted mummies seems to be preparing for breaking through and finally getting the level.

"Sand Golem? You can figure it out! I don't have a place to hide that big guy, so in two days you'll practice with a salted mummy first! Ms. Freya stretched out her hand and pointed to the curtain behind Barrett, "Be smart, what are you going to do!" If you dare to be lazy, don't blame me for accidentally missing something in the end! ”

"Yes! I'm going to do it right now! In the face of a substantial threat, Barrett had no choice but to bend down what he thought was a stiff enough waist. After exiting the tent, he asked the guard who had led the way before about what he was going to do next.

When he first heard that Barrett was going to serve as a guard in the 'Star and Moon Cross' circus, the facial muscles of the smiling guard seemed to become stiff. It's a good job to be a guard in the 'Star-Moon Cross' circus, and with the strength of Miss Freya, there are few people in this team who want to provoke. So the risk is much smaller than a normal caravan. At most, it's just to deal with overheated or simply want to take advantage of customers.

And on the way to fulfillment. The actresses in the circus who can't stand the loneliness. Naturally, they will look for a man who can see it nearby to solve their physiological problems. For the vast majority of men, this is a perk. So in the face of an imminent increase in competitors, it's no wonder that someone will lose their faces.

However, after learning that Barrett was only staying in the circus for the time being, and would leave after leaving 'Yale City'. The person in front of him seemed to change his face in Sichuan opera, and he became enthusiastic when he left. Because he knew that the qiē he had now was all tied to the strong man of 'Freya'.

For Ms. Freya, the roaming circus of the Cross of the Stars and Moon is nothing more than a toy in her hands and a cover-up on the surface. The tissues of the true henchmen and the core are hidden on the dark side of the rock. Obviously, there have been one or two times when the 'Cross of the Stars and Moons' circus has been at the heart of the transition. The guard who thought about it was naturally going to flatter the big man in front of him.

And with this old man's guidance, Barrett's business in the 'Star and Moon Cross' circus in the next few days can be regarded as easy. And the girls in the group who are dressed up in beautiful clothes seem to be full of sexual interest in this new little fresh meat. You must know that he also came out of Ms. Freya's camp by himself - in the eyes of this professional woman, Ms. Freya is a peerless enchantress who eats meat and does not spit out bones. Barrett hadn't been carried out. It is enough to show his strong strength in a certain aspect. It seems that because the probability is too low, these restless guys have no idea that the two of them are not doing that kind of thing in the camp tent.

But fortunately, after the official performance began, the actresses in the 'Star and Moon Cross' circus did not have time to come and harass Barrett again. The whole circus occupies a large area of the 'bazaar' outside 'Yale City', which is full of people, and an open-air stage is set up on the west side of the 'bazaar'. The stage was pretty rudimentary, it looked like a wooden shed. A wonderful lion taming show is going on in the wooden shed, and the screams of the children are showing their excitement or joy to the people of the city.

Outside the stage, another deal is quietly underway. Next to the east side of the stage is the actors' dressing room. Of course, it is a powder room, but in fact it is nothing more than an open space surrounded by a curtain. The figures were clearly reflected on the curtains, and the actors in the dressing room could be seen - an irresistible temptation for hungry men who had been waiting for another time.

The man who had already looked for his goal in the first song and dance performance. Waving his money bag in front of the guard: "I want Yvonne's first performance." ”

"No, that's mine! I'm willing to pay twice as much. Then another man pulled the guy in front of him back into the crowd.

But at this moment, another head immediately popped out of the crowd: "It's mine." I'll triple the price. ”

Looking at the scene in front of him that looked like an auction, Barrett turned to his temporary counterparts and asked, "Are these guys stupid or what?" It's not for virgins. Do you need to fight like this? ”

"I don't know when it came out, but when faced with a wandering troupe like us, once you grab the jackpot, you will have good luck in the next year. So naturally it became this swallow. The guard smiled as he looked at the piles of coins on the table in front of him.

Is there any such saying? I didn't hear of it 200 years ago! With this doubt in mind, Barrett then asked, "Do you believe such a thing?" ”

"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, it doesn't matter if they believe it in their hearts or not. As long as they can spend their lives here. The guard laughed.

'Yes! That's the reason. I almost got myself in this time. After smiling awkwardly, Barrett observed the fight in front of him with a little curiosity.

However, such a relaxed day is almost over, and after completing the 5 days and 4 nights of performance, the 'Star and Moon Cross' circus began to pack up and embark on a new journey. However, to Barrett's first arrival, although it seemed to be nothing unusual at first, he waited until he left the limit of 'Yale City'. The footprints that everyone should have left behind walking on the sand suddenly disappeared, and the "whining" sound that should have been ringing in their ears disappeared like this.

Anyone who is not a fool can notice that something is wrong, and Barrett, who saw this scene for the first time, immediately turned his gaze to the caravan where Lady Freya was. Obviously, this is the miracle that she created with her own power. In addition to sighing, the backbone is also numb!

After another two days of travel, the 'Star and Moon Cross' circus actually came to an oasis. It was a seemingly small green space, and Barrett couldn't find anything about it on the map. Apparently its existence has been concealed by a combination of natural and supernatural means - this is supposed to be a secret base for Lady Freya.

"Boy, you're good, so I don't need to say anything else. Let's take two salted mummies and practice your hands! You won't be dealing with the same amount as you are now. With that, Lady Freya clapped her hands, and the sarcophagi slowly rose from the sand on the edge of the oasis.

As the sarcophagus opened, two dry and deflated humanoids slowly moved out of it. Although they appear to be mummies, their surface is covered in a thick layer of salt, making it impossible to distinguish their original race. Despite its heavy mineral shell, it skewed and hungrily approached the nearest living.

And Barrett, who was the trainer this time, was awakened from the depths of his brain after seeing the creature in front of him. Salted mummies in addition to those weapons made by the wasteland walkers. More often than not, the corpses of those who were accidentally buried too close to the brittle veins of white salt were preserved.

Of course, salt alone is not enough to imbue a corpse with immortal vitality, and it is only when it walks into the grave with a deep sin that great resentment will be possible to connect to the negative energy realm and infuse it with "soul" to produce such a change.

Finding the memories he needed, Barrett immediately began to evaluate his combat power: "If I'm not mistaken, the average power of this thing seems to be above 26 points!" In other words, even if I launch the 'Surge of Qi and Blood' now, I am at a disadvantage in terms of strength. In other words, if you hit it hard, I'm afraid you will suffer a little! However, creatures like mummies are usually sluggish, which is a factor that can be used...... (To be continued......
