Chapter 9: Under the Shadows
() Under this dark curtain that obscures the light
What Star Secret Key, Vladimir was quite surprised, isn't this a legend?
The secret key of the stars is really stored in this world, this is the mysterious man who sat cross-legged on the throne of bones and said to me that the Lich King is the only necromancer on the island of the dead who has lived from the era of the Demon War
But isn't the Lich King the enemy of his master, how high can Cheng Dรน be when he heard that this was from the Lich King, Vladimir said with some concern
No, the Lich King, though a coward, is not a liar, and ...... The mystery man said that he was not worried at all that I would find enough Star Keys, and he decided that I would not find them, so I would find them for him
Isn't there only one key to the stars, Vladimir noticed a detail that the mysterious man said, and asked his own questions
Of course, the Star Key is not unique, and if there is only one Star Key, you can't do anything at all, so you must gather enough of them to do it, and after a pause, the mysterious man said that there are ten Star Keys in the world, and you only need to collect five of them, which can restore my full power, hmph, if it weren't for that soul to seal half of my power, I would never lose to the Lich King
In obedience to my esteemed master, for the sake of his master's great plan, Vladimir must not only collect the five Star Keys to restore his master's strength, but also collect all ten Star Keys to give to his master
No, you must not do this, and the mysterious man's words to stop it have surprised Vladimir, and the ten Star Keys must not all be put together, otherwise unimaginable consequences will occur, and you only need to collect five of them, which is enough for me to break the seal
Yes, the master, Vladimir knew, seeing that such a powerful master would be so afraid of the consequences, Vladimir did not dare to say anything more
Okay, there you go, one more thing...... Saying that, a white stone spar flew out of the mysterious man's black robe, floating in the air and floating into Vladimir's hand, this is one of the Star Keys I found by accident, only one of them is left with me, and it doesn't work, you take it, it will resonate when it gets close to the other Star Keys, and you can use this method to collect the other four Star Keys
Your servant, honorable master, is leaving, Vladimir takes the white hedron and carefully hides it
Go, my soulbinder, wait for your good news, and the mysterious man nodded to Vladimir
I saw the necromancer Vladimi turn the spatial teleportation ring in his hand, and a ball of light that teleported magic surrounded his whole body, and then disappeared after a few seconds
Now all that remains on the top of the mountain is the terrifying giant Throne of Bones and the mysterious man on the throne
After peeking for so long, you should be out too, the mysterious man said into the air
At this time, a figure turned out from behind a large rock, only to see that this person was a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a set of yellow knight armor, but the material used to make the armor did not seem to be metal, with a helmet made of the same material on his head, and his hair was hidden in it, the young man held a crimson single-headed spear and pointed at the mysterious man on the throne of bones, and shouted loudly and awe-inspiringly: "Prison Officer of the Underworld, I will never let your conspiracy come true, and today I will eradicate you, the evil monster."
I thought it was a little mouse who didn't know whether to live or die, but since you know my name and my identity on the island of death, then you are disqualified from living, the mysterious man finished speaking, and the eyes of the black metal hood glowed red, and at the same time, the stone statues of twelve unknown flying creatures on both sides of the Throne of Bones emitted red light on the parts of the eyes, and then they got rid of the shape of the stone statues one by one and turned into strange creatures, spreading their membranous wings like bats, waving four sharp claws and hovering in the air
The gargoyle boy shouted the name of the strange creature that had been turned into a statue, and all of Olopa knew that this magical creature that was widely used by necromancers as a personal bodyguard was not easy to deal with, but the boy showed no signs of timidity or flinching, and he crossed the Crimson Lance and took a battle pose
Whew-One of the gargoyles hovering in the air made a tentative dive towards the young man, only to see the young man turn to the right unhurriedly, condense the power of turning, kicking his legs, twisting his waist, and sending his arms to the crimson spear, the spear head was like a poisonous snake spitting letters, and directly stabbed one of the gargoyles' eyes, only to see the red light of the gargoyle's eyes disappear, and he fell to the ground and changed back to the state of a stone statue
The boy's attack was very effective, and he knew that no matter what other part of the attack on the gargoyle would not be able to cause any damage to it, so he chose to take the gargoyle's only weakness: the eye, but he could shoot at such a fast hedge speed in less than a thousandth of a second, and he could accurately hit such a small eye, which shows that the boy's marksmanship has been rigorously trained for many years
The other eleven gargoyles saw the boy and as soon as he struck out, one of their companions turned back to its original form, and besieged the boy from all directions with teeth and claws, and the boy did not look terrified in the face of the gargoyles who tried to win by numbers, and he skillfully waved the crimson spear to defend himself, only to see that the boy fought and retreated, and always kept the vast majority of the gargoyles in front of him, and although there were many of them, they could not find any gaps in the boy's dense defenses and hurt the boy;
It can be seen that the boy's judgment and endurance are quite high, and he did not rush to counterattack, but waited for the most certain and favorable opportunity, and then launched a counterattack by surprise, and gradually the number of gargoyles besieging the boy became smaller and smaller......
Finally, the glint of the last gargoyle's eyes vanished, and it fell to the ground and turned back into a stone statue
Although the boy was sweating profusely after the fierce battle, his body did not seem to have declined at all, and the battle just now was just a warm-up exercise for him
A smile crossed his lips, and the young man held his gun and shouted proudly to the people on the throne of bones: "What's the matter, your guards have all fallen
The mysterious man on the Throne of Bones still maintained a posture of sitting cross-legged, he was not surprised at all that the boy knocked down all the gargoyles that he had knocked him down, and the mysterious man said indifferently: It seems that I did underestimate your strength, but the final result is the same, you will become me in the near future, a high-level skeleton soldier, while the mysterious man spoke, the phosphorus fire that fluttered around the Throne of Bones suddenly stopped moving and lined up according to a certain pattern
What is this, in the face of this strange situation, the young man's heart sank
Frey, your heart is not too bad, why do you want to be a thief, Cassius asked as he ate the grilled fish, and saw a hill of fish bones by the fire, of which only three or four were produced by the teenage thief Frey, and the rest were all made by the fat man sitting across from her
By this time, Frey had coaxed the little girl who had just recovered a life from the ghouls' claws during the day to sleep, and her expression was full of warmth and love, which was not at all equal to the image of the savage, greedy female thief
So what's the solution, isn't it for life, Frey gently put the sleeping little girl on the ground covered with a blanket, her movements were very light, for fear that a little move would wake up the little girl, I didn't have a family since I was a child, and I had a younger sister as big as her, but ...... If it weren't for not starving to death, who would want to steal like the mages of your Snow Federation, who would be born with a lot of money and parents to wait for, without worrying about food and clothing
Frey's words touched some indelible grief in the depths of Cassius's memories, and he lowered the grilled fish that had been placed in his mouth, bowed his head and remained silent
Why, Frey noticed that something was wrong with Cassius
It's nothing, I just think of my hometown and my relatives, Cassius gently wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, when I was a child, my hometown was ransacked by a gang of robbers, and all the people in my family were killed, leaving me and my brother to be a kind magician who rescued us to the Snowy Federation and taught me about magic
You...... I didn't expect that fat man to be so similar to her own background, and Frei's heart was full of mixed feelings
Frecasius suddenly handed his bag full of treasure to Frey, and you can take half of it
What Frey was a little hard to believe, she couldn't understand how the fat man who had been chasing after her thief not long ago had suddenly become so generous
Nothing, Cassius grinned, and the teacher said that sharing half of what he got with others would give him double the happiness
Don't you suspect now that I've stolen something from your other friend?
There is no doubt that there may be a third hedron of the same kind in this world
Why
Just because I have just been with you through tribulation
You're so silly and cute, Frey couldn't help but be a little reluctant to finish looking at Cassius' honest smile
Yes, Cassius scratched his head, and someone said that before
Then this person must also be a girl, Frey laughed
Ah, how do you know, Cassius was surprised
Hum don't tell you that Frey turned her head to the side mischievously
Oh, Cassius hung his head a little disappointed
Fat Frey thinks this fat man is very interesting, you said that the spar you are wearing was left to you by your teacher
Yes, the teacher said that my missing friend also had one on him, and when the two hedrons came close, it would resonate
No wonder it always flashes for no reason after you appear, Frey said lightly
By the way, Frey, didn't you say that this hedron is the only clue for you to find your own origins, Cassius asked
Well
Well, if it resonates with the one in me, it means that there must be some connection between them, right, Cassius said thoughtfully
Frey nodded in agreement with Cassius: it makes sense, but so what
I'm on my way to the kingdom of Pole now, and a few years ago I agreed with that friend to meet in that place, and he must have found mine with the same hedron on him, and that friend might be able to find more clues about your origins, Cassius said seriously
I don't think there's a pig's brain in your pig's head, and Frey quipped, well, Miss Ben will travel with you to the place you agreed to find your friend
Hehe, Cassius smiled like his trademark smile again
Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly tensed, Frey drew two daggers and clenched them tightly in her hands, in a half-crouching posture to guard, Cassius quickly picked up the magic wand lying on the ground, and looked around vigilantly
Do you feel it too, Frey asked with a solemn expression
Well, the water elements in the creek are restlessly agitated, and they are suing me
Ahh
How about the madness you just now, where did the mysterious man on the Bone Throne ask in a mocking tone, and he always sat cross-legged
Damn it...... I'm going to die...... Also ...... Dead with you, the boy looked angrily at the mysterious man on the throne of bones, and even though he was so badly wounded, he still refused to give up the crimson gun in his hand
I saw that the young man shouted violently, used his last strength, lifted the crimson spear, and rushed straight towards the mysterious man
The mysterious man sneered
I didn't see any movement from the mysterious man, I saw a little bit of ghostly light flashing at the joints of the boy's body, and the phosphorus fire had already attached to the boy's body, so that he could not get rid of it anyway, and the boy's body was lifted into the air, and the tortured boy screamed in extreme pain as the phosphorus fire kept flashing, but even so, his left hand was still dragging the crimson spear, and there was no sign of letting go
How about being tortured at the same time as the soul is not pleasant, the mysterious man snorted coldly, in order to reward you for making me have fun, I decided to give you one by one to enjoy all the tortures in the underworld
The hateful boy tried his best to resist and try to break free from the control of the phosphorus fire, but all his resistance was in vain
Suddenly, a ball of golden flames slammed into the Throne of Bones, and the mysterious man noticed it, but he didn't make any movements, only to see that all the phosphorus fire attached to the boy's body broke away from the boy's body, with the Throne of Bones as the center, and fell to the ground dotted to form a huge magic array, and when the golden flames reached the periphery of the magic array, they suddenly separated to both sides, and then gradually weakened into two small flames, and finally disappeared
After losing the support of phosphorus fire, the boy fell to the ground from mid-air, and at this time, a deafening dragon roar came from the air, and I saw a huge shadow appear in the sky covered by a black curtain, and a golden dragon swooped down to the ground
Again, when you saw the golden dragon appear, the mysterious man said to the dragon
When the golden dragon was about to make contact with the ground, the young man who regained his freedom of movement struggled with the crimson spear, turned over and jumped on the back of the golden dragon, and the golden dragon flapped its wings suddenly, quickly pulled up the height and soared towards the sky
More and more interesting, the mysterious man looked at the direction where the golden dragon and the boy had gone, and said to himself, but this place can no longer stay
After speaking, the phosphorus fire in the giant magic array quickly changed its position to form a new magic array pattern, only to see countless white bones break out of the ground and gather on the huge corpse bone throne, adding a cover and two large wheels to the corpse bone throne, at this time, the corpse bone throne has turned into a giant car Xuan, the eyes of the twelve stone statues planted on the ground flashed red light again, the stone statue turned into a gargoyle again, and flew to the front of the corpse car, divided into two groups, with the claws of the lower limbs, respectively, grabbed the two car poles made of white bones that stretched out from the corpse car, twelve ghost goryles flapped their wings, pulled up the corpse car, and slowly flew into the air.
