Chapter 408: Searching for the War with the North
The gloomy underground hall doesn't have much to hide. Henry first checked the sarcophagus with the smell of corpses, and found a skeleton torso made of pure gold in the dark compartment on the ground floor, surrounded by an obvious evil aura, but there were no hands or feet. This is undoubtedly the part used to seal the half-lich Conguss, and it can only be used once the other part is completely gathered.
But he obviously wouldn't just be so stupid and send it to Congus, at least he had to do some tricks, and if he couldn't kill it, he would have to do enough damage. After all, the damage reduction of the half-lich is really terrifying, and if you bless a few protective spells, you can be completely invulnerable, invulnerable.
After tossing the torso made of gold into the dimensional bag, Henry continued to search for the Elemental Lich's lifebox. Although this guy is a little brainless, the cast level is really not low, even if he can't be a mobile cannonball on his own, it's still no problem. But in the sarcophagus there were nothing of value at all, except for some shriveled corpses and bits and pieces.
It seemed that the lich had hidden his life box somewhere else, and at the thought of this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and began to look around for a suspicious location. You must know that this is not a good phenomenon, and once you can't find it, the consequences will be quite strict. Especially the legendary magic called "Terrifying Deep Cold" that I just cast, when I heard it, it was a large-scale plastic energy cold damage spell. If this elemental lich runs to Brunvent City to place one in retaliation, then the entire city will most likely be frozen and all but a few powerful professionals will die.
Henry would never allow this to happen in his own territory, so he immediately cast a series of magic spells, "Arcane Vision" and "Detection Secret Door". With the special effects of two spells. He soon discovered that there was a small lattice hidden in the ceiling of the roof. It's about the size of a palm. Dig quite deep, and there's magic protection, so you can't open it if you can't find it. If nothing else, this is the place where the life box is hidden.
Now that he had found a specific place, Henry's hanging heart relaxed. After all, even if you can't get the lifebox, there's nothing wrong with destroying it. Anyway, the powerful damage magic is as much as it wants, and if it doesn't work, you can transform into an ancient red dragon and directly demolish this building. Since it was clear that it wasn't there yet, he continued to use the "arcane vision" to search carefully. It didn't take long to see what appeared to be a turntable at the bottom of the candle held by the statue.
This discovery made Henry a little excited, and hurriedly ran over and turned it slightly, only to hear a "click" sound of gears turning overhead, followed by a heavy stone slab that suddenly fell down, revealing a small recess inside. He directly cast a "mage's hand" and pulled out an oval badge encrusted with purple gems from the depths, which looked like a sign issued by some kind of organization to members inside.
There is no doubt that this is the life box, because the negative energy emanating from above cannot be faked at all. Although this thing doesn't seem too precious. Perhaps it has a special commemorative meaning for the Elemental Lich. You must know that most undead creatures will pin some obsessions on objects, such as portraits, necklaces, rings, clothes, shoes, and even stinky socks. In short, there are many tricks.
After secretly despising that the elemental lich was really a poor ghost, Henry packed the badge and quickly left the building. He'll have to go to the sewers in the temple area tonight and kill the other elemental lich as well, and God knows if there will be any connection and induction between them.
There is an old saying that if you cut the grass and do not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows. Before the crossing, Henry often heard people say that elephants would never heed the provocations of ants, used as a foil to the tall and complete of certain figures. But he felt that this sentence was completely misleading, and at some point the ants had a chance to kill the elephant.
For example, if the ant's claw happens to be stained with a deadly toxin and bites the elephant's most vulnerable eyelid, the toxin will kill a behemoth in a very short period of time. Of course, this probability is very low, but it is not impossible. Turning the pages of history and looking at those big people, many of them were planted in the hands of small people who usually don't even look at them.
Never underestimate anyone, this is one of the basic principles of Henry's way of doing things. Whenever he killed his enemies, he would eradicate all the hidden dangers at once, whether it was an old man, a woman, or an infant baby. Although this will cause a certain amount of negative effects, it is much better than the sudden and inexplicable appearance of a strong enemy in the future.
No one knows what will happen in the future, maybe the baby in the baby will grow into a powerful professional, maybe the woman will look for a supporter with great strength, maybe the old man will transform himself into an undead creature because of hatred. In short, it is the smartest thing to strangle these unstable factors in the cradle, after all, there is nothing more reassuring than a dead man.
With the darkness of the night and the cloaking abilities of the Archmage's staff, Henry quietly dodged the patrolling Templars and entered the dirty, smelly sewers. According to his plan, ignore all the monsters in his path, go straight to the location of another seal, and use a legendary magic "Sunrise" to kill the elemental lich and take things away.
While the idea is good and feasible, one of the most important issues is overlooked, and that is the complexity of sewers. You must know that the city of Ascatra has a long history, and the underground has long been dug in all directions, and its complexity is no worse than the eighth-level magic "Labyrinth Technique".
At first, Henry performed a "north pointing technique" and kept heading west according to the game's memories, only to realize that something was wrong after more than half an hour. Because the passage here is basically a little curved, walking around and returning to the starting point in a big circle. After cursing a few words of fierce curse, he did not hesitate to pull out the crystal ball and began to use the detection spell to overlook the entire floor plan of the sewers.
This really responds to that sentence, I don't know if I don't see it, and I am shocked when I see it. The large and small passages crisscross it, looking like a huge prismatic spider web, and if you don't have someone familiar to lead you, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out until you die. It's no wonder that so many monsters choose this place as a hiding place, and even if all the masked mages come, they may not be able to search every corner.
Fortunately, Henry has a special way of telling. During detection, three points generate energy fluctuations that repel magic detection. According to the information in memory, this sewer should contain a nest of the Mind Flayer, an ancient dungeon connected to the lair of the Eye Demon, and finally a mage retreat.
Obviously, if you take a look at these places in person, you will soon find your target. Because they are the only ones who have the ability to shield detection, and the Elemental Lich's hiding place is at the entrance to the Ancient Dungeon.
Just do it, Henry didn't dare to mess around this time, holding a crystal ball in his hand, and blessed himself with a positioning magic. With this magical version of GPS in hand, he carefully avoided the ubiquitous kobolds, rotting dung monsters, ooze monsters, and other chaotic monsters, and began his journey through the labyrinth.

Meanwhile, the city of Eltoriel had just finished a massacre, with an army of over three hundred goblins and gnolls slaughtered. Originally, they were scattered in nearby villages to intimidate farmers who had little ability to resist. However, Corey used rumors to trick them all into the city, and then launched a surprise attack to solve the problem once and for all.
Looking at the soldiers who were cleaning up the corpses, his heart was settled. Now that a vacuum has formed near the city of Eltorel, the power of the Iron Throne has been uprooted without leaving any behind, and no one will know that the city has fallen. It seems that it is time to set off for the north, and if it is any slower, I am afraid that Soba will fall.
With a wicked smile on her lips, Shantil walked over and asked in a low voice, "When are you leaving?" "She's just been involved in a killing, so she's in a pretty good mood right now.
"I'll leave tonight. Taking advantage of the cover of night, you can rush all the way to the town of Trill before dawn. The walls there are not very high, and if you follow the lĂŹ, you can take them down with a single raid. As he spoke, Corey glanced at the two humanoid dragons.
The ferocity of the two of them in this battle aroused the awe of many soldiers, especially the black dragon Oloxes, wielding two evil and powerful magic weapons like a meat grinder, and a bloody storm was bound to set off everywhere they passed, and no one could cause even the slightest obstruction.
As for the brown dragon Otagos, he appeared to be more of a stealthy assassin. With the power of magic and excellent kleptory skills, he was not as intimidating as the black dragon looked, but he killed a lot of people at all. With the addition of the sorceress, these three guys killed more than two-thirds of the enemies.
"I advise you not to think about the idea of fighting the two of them, because you don't have the strength of your master at all." Shantil saw through Corey's plan at a glance. Obviously, the commander had made a mistake again, and as soon as he had something good, he got it into the army.
Hearing this warning, Corey smiled wryly and nodded. "Understood. Dragons are arrogant creatures, and they will certainly not obey the command of me, a level fourteenth fallen knight. He knew very well that since he had lost the favor of the god of guards, Heim, he had completely lost the possibility of raising the rank again.
"By the way, what will happen to the city after we leave?" Shantil asked, curious. She noticed that Corey had been secretly discussing something with a young lieutenant lately.
"Give it to Amber, the young man who is directing the disposal of the corpse over there. I will leave him an army of two hundred men, plus all the prisoners. As he spoke, a smile appeared on Cory's face. The more he looked at this young lieutenant, the more satisfied he became, both in terms of strategy and command ability, and he was also quite handsome, he was simply the best choice as a son-in-law.
