Chapter 130 129
After three days outside, Elise and the three finally found the location of a magic tower.
It's a dense forest, and there are many mutated creatures around it.
However, these mutated creatures are not much of a threat to Elise and them, and even Geert can easily deal with them.
Geert has also shown his fighting style in front of Elise these days, and instead of choosing to use Gerlac's Fury to burn money, Geert has been fighting with an enchanted long stick.
This is similar to the explosion effect when the stick hits the enemy, and Geert's cultivation in the stick art has never stopped, and half of the mutated creatures are basically not his opponents.
And Ziyun also chose a low-effort fighting method, he held a Dao sword and borrowed the sharpness of the Dao sword to kill mutant creatures.
Elise was in trouble, although she ordered a snake tooth staff, but in terms of time, Elise couldn't wait for the staff to be ready, so she still used the previous staff that was gradually unable to keep up.
Geert brushed aside the rattan in front of him and said, "This place doesn't look like a tower!" ”
I've been following the leylines in the forest for hours, and there is still nothing to be found in front of me, not only Geert, but also Ziyun thinks that the Magic Council has made a mistake with the map.
Elise looked at the copied map and said, "Don't worry! It's a little bit of a walk ahead! ”
Seeing that Elise was so sure, Geert and Ziyun could only believe Elise's words.
Speaking of the detection of this leyline, it is really not difficult in the eyes of magicians and Taoist magicians. As long as you have taken the basic course seriously, you will basically not find the wrong location of the leyline.
And in terms of the leyline, the land of Yanhua has a fight with the former Laterantis! Because of the leylines, Yanhua used to have a lot of very magical legends.
As a result, many magicians were naturally attracted to come, but these magicians did not come to learn, but to "pan for gold".
At that time, Yanhua was subjected to a cultural invasion, and the government departments were too busy to take care of these things, and as a result, many unscrupulous magicians plundered the land of Yanhua under the banner of academic research.
However, it is a pity that the Yanhua government was not very powerful at that time, but many Yanhua young people were more powerful than they thought.
Under the near-death struggle of the Yanhua youth, most of the magicians chose to hide more. It was during this period that they built the Magic Tower, with the aim of finding time to quietly take away these artifacts in the future.
It's just that what those people didn't expect was that this incident would be more than a hundred years after that.
Elise and the others followed the leylines until they reached the foot of a large tree in the untouched primeval forest.
"This is it, the location of the Magic Tower is here."
Geert said, "Are you sure? No matter how you look at it, there is no such thing as a tower in this place! Did you really read the map right? ”
Elise turned around and said, "You've also seen the map, is there a wrong place you don't know?" And also! Who told you that the Magic Tower had to be on the ground? ”
Ziyun also asked curiously, "Could it be that this tower is underground?" ”
Elise nodded and said, "That's right! Ziyun Zhenren, you don't understand, I can still understand, Geert you don't know, this is too strange, right? ”
Geert said, "What's so strange? It's not like you don't know about me, but after only learning an introductory lesson, I didn't go to class anymore. ”
Elise only grunted her mouth at Gelt's words, and she also regretted Gert's situation. It can be said that Geert is a genius who is limited by talent, and if it weren't for talent, I'm afraid the Magic Council would also have a place for Gelt.
Without further ado, the three of Elise had already begun to look for a way to get to the Magic Tower.
Generally speaking, the easiest way to enter the magic tower is to get the owner's consent, and the slightly more troublesome thing is to parse the rune composition of the entrance and exit of the magic tower.
Elise: The first thing they have to do is to confirm whether there are still people in this magic tower, which is a very important thing.
This is very important, because some mages are not willing to let their efforts go to waste, so they choose to turn themselves into lichs.
This type of magician's magic tower is easy to enter, but it's actually just a tempting trap. There are no such people in the history of mages, but for the most part, they have been purified by those who came after them.
Confirming whether the magic tower still has an owner is a must for every archaeological magic tower.
Although there are not many magic towers in the Azure Star, there are many of them, especially the magic towers built in the places where the leylines gather.
A magic tower is a mage's base, usually protected by many magical runes. However, it takes a lot of magic to activate these magic runes, so the construction of magic towers is basically based on the leylines.
The land of Yanhua has a very staggering number of leylines, and in the last century, many magicians chose to build magic towers here, and it seems that these people intend to encroach on the land of Yanhua for a long time.
In the end, Elise and the others found the rune that opened the magic tower at the root of the big tree, and based on the magic power on this rune, they simply judged whether the magic tower had an owner.
If anything, it's very difficult to tell if the magic tower still has an owner. The magic tower built on the leyline has a very large supply of mana, and there is no way to accurately judge any magic around it.
So Elise and they can only judge based on experience, but the problem is that none of the three people have this experience, so they can only judge it simply.
"Should it really be said that it is worthy of the leylines of the Yanhua land? Today, the energy on this rune is so abundant, it's really hard to say that there is no one in it! ”
"Then treat it like someone inside, get ready to deal with the Lich's props, and we'll be careful in the afternoon!" ”
This is Ziyun asked, "May I ask this lich... Can I deal with them the same way I deal with zombies? ”
Ziyun's question is a question that makes people ask, no one knows if the lich and the zombie can be dealt with in the same way? Although both are dead things, the systems between them are completely different, so it is difficult to say this question.
Since there was no way to prove the problem, Elise simply took out two light-based enchantment scrolls.
"Ziyun Zhenren, you can use these two scrolls, the aging time of each scroll is one hour, if nothing else, it is enough time for us to go back and forth."
"How do you use it?" Ziyun took the scroll and asked.
Elise said, "Just stick it on the enchanted target." ”
Ziyun pressed the scroll to the Dao Sword as Elise said, and then a faint white light flashed from the Dao Sword's body.
"That's it! Let's get ready to go down! Elise turned and opened the door to the magic tower, and a gate appeared on the trunk of the tree.
As for why Elise didn't they use any other living creature to test the air inside the magic tower? Since there are basically runes in the magic tower to ensure air circulation, it is also possible to confirm that there is air circulation inside the magic tower after making sure that the runes of the gate can be used.
The way this magic tower was built was so ancient that Elise couldn't help but complain about the taste of the owner of this magic tower.
In the oldest magic tower, there are only rows of neatly arranged books, and at that time the greatest treasure of a magician's life was the greatest treasure.
When this wealth deteriorated, they became one collectible after another.
There are many collections in this magic tower, but none of them are well preserved, and even the fragments are incomplete.
"Be careful! Rumor has it that there is only one case, and the magician will ruin his own collection! That is, it has completely given up life! ”
Elise was right, for a dead man, these things were actually stale funerary goods. A dead man will do nothing to the funeral goods because he is already dead.
But these funerary objects are very useful for one thing, and there is not a single thing in the mage's collection that does not contain some kind of power.
The leylines do not provide the Lich with the magic of their daily activities, as this threatens the safety of the living on the Azure Star, so the Lich needs some other way to keep itself "alive".
The Lich's Life Box is made with a good mana loss item, which ensures that their "life energy" loss is reduced.
As for why not use props that have a better seal? That's because there is no way for a lich to move freely without contact with the outside world.
It just so happens that there is such a magician in the history of the wizarding world, who used the absolutely sealed material as a life box, and as a result, he couldn't come out at all after becoming a lich.
And why is this being known by others? Because the magician was working on a potion at the time, he wanted to use it to save his daughter.
But just as the research was at a critical juncture, the magician's lifespan reached its limit. So he applied to the Magic Council of the time to transform into a lich, and the council could only purify him after his potion was successful.
The Council of Magic had been discussing the matter for a long time, and finally set this precedent for the great father.
In the end, the people of the Magic Council released him, and as a result, the "life energy" was seriously lost, but fortunately, the potion was finally researched.
While saving his daughter, he also saved many ordinary people with the same condition as his daughter, but unfortunately no one knew that all this was the credit of this father.
Turning back to the topic, since the Lich's lifebox loses energy, how do they usually replenish their energy?
The answer is to suck the vitality of living beings, and directly absorb the power of magic items.
The reason why lichs are a danger is that they can have a very large impact on the living, just like the zombies of Yanhua.
However, zombies form differently than lichs, which are man-made and zombies are natural.
It can be said that zombies are much more powerful than lichs, but the disadvantage of zombies is that they are not intelligent. Zombies do not form on their own, but need to consider the right time and place.
These three points are unlikely to form zombies at all, and for this reason, zombies are much more powerful than lichs that can be transformed without any restrictions.
And many things in the world have proven that what has restrictions is better than no restrictions.
No restrictions seem cool, but it's really not as good as those restrictions.
As soon as the three of them saw that the artifacts had been reduced to pieces, they carefully guarded the surrounding situation.
At this time, Geert took out Gerk's anger and jumped directly backwards, only to hear a terrible scream, and the three of them immediately looked back.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, you were startled, it turned out that behind the three of them was a lich, and this lich had a big hole in its stomach.
It seems that Geert hit its lifebox this time, otherwise the lich's reaction would not have been so great.
Seeing that the lich was injured, Ziyun did not delay at all, and directly sacrificed the Dao sword and played a set of swordsmanship.
If this set of swordsmanship encounters other types of enemies, it must have been seriously injured.
But it's a pity that Ziyun has no experience in fighting the lich, this sword flies in the sky, and only the additional magic gives the lich a little damage.
Seeing that the sword technique was ineffective, Ziyun immediately pinched the trick and used a soul purifying spell. Since lichs and zombies are dead, the Soul Purifying Charm should be useful, right?
Elise and Geert were not idle at this time, and when they saw Ziyun using the sword technique, the two immediately began to prepare the light spell to face the enemy.
However, no matter how fast Elise and the others moved, they couldn't catch up with Ziyun's fast movements.
I saw that the Soul Purifying Charm had hit the Lich accurately, and as a result, the Lich's smoky size immediately became much smaller.
It seems that whether it is magic or Taoism, as long as the attributes are right, it will still have an effect.
After the Soul Purifying Charm struck the Lich, Elise and Gert's spells were ready.
Previously, Geert had used Grack's Fury to shoot a glowing energy projectile, and this time it was a purification munition specially prepared by Gelt.
Elise is a very traditional light magic "Holy Light Shine", under the combined attack of the two, the lich's already small body immediately disappeared, leaving only a life box with fast energy streamers.
It seems that this lich is living a very miserable life, and after absorbing all the energy of the artifacts he has collected, his life box is still lacking energy.
And in this long time, in this dark magic tower, I "lived" alone. What did he rely on to sustain himself? It's really hard to know!
The life box dropped by the lich is not a lover, and people dare to touch it unprepared, maybe this blow may revive the lich directly.
The composition of the Lich is as simple as that, it can move with energy, and it feels like an electric robot.
Although Ziyun didn't know about it, he saw that Elise and Geert were still preparing to cast spells, so he wasn't stupid enough to die.
