362 The Witch and the Soul Furnace? 10 points will be deducted for incorrect answers!
The vortex gradually converged in the sky, and the original blue sky curtain was dyed with large patches of purple and black.
The floating fleet on the sea of clouds has descended to almost the surface of the sea, but it is still swaying from side to side, and it is difficult to maintain balance. Many floating ships came into contact with the waves for the first time, and the sea washed over the cabins and decks, causing the people above to scream and run.
On the bridge of the flagship, Gordon, the legendary of the Teide family, reported on behalf of the other legends: "Based on our observations, the Storm Islands will be out of the main plane by evening at the latest. At that time, the law of the second-level mask will be changed to be secondary, and the magic power of the entire Storm Islands will be mastered by Menesus alone. ”
"We really can't wait any longer", Hathaway looked out of the porthole, in the distance in a sea area, dozens of floating ships were either down head and toe, or broken in two, slowly sinking. The families who resolutely disagree with the "Supreme Council Reorganization Bill" are all there.
"The battle just now also warmed up everyone", Hathaway said decisively, "Now, we will directly attack Silver City, and I will also notify the forces of Shadow City to cooperate." ”
More than two hundred floating ships flew across the sea towards Silver City, and Hathaway pursed her lips a little nervously.
Mentor...... Menesus rewrote the law shortly after Litchie and his mother went deep into the dungeon, and there must have been a connection between them, and I don't know what happened to them.
In the City of Shadows, at the Tavern of Moshwu, Zolde summoned the heads of families, guilds, and various organizations, and slapped a memory chip on the table.
"One hundred and seventy-eight families have signed the Supreme Council Reorganization Act, and now we are fighting for the freedom of all magicians!"
"Colleagues, take action, let all the families and all magicians in Silver City also know about this bill and know what we are fighting for!"
"Everyone, let's act! The time for the decisive battle has come! The fleet led by Lord Ted is coming, we must seize the bridgehead and weaken and even control the protective barriers, magic cannons, and all the forces that resist liberation in Silver City!"
Not only Zolde knew about this bill, almost everyone present got the news through various channels, and they were anxiously waiting for Zolde to give a signal.
Zelder waved his arm: "Let's go——!"
The shouts almost tore the ceiling of the tavern, and the crowd poured out, going from place to place, leading teams into Silver City through the various passages controlled by the people of Shadow City.
"Gather some more men and join me in attacking the fortress tower at the bottom of Silver City," a high-level mage pointed at a group of people in the central plaza of Shadow City.
The bandage man Van Si, the bald female demon warrior Quicksilver, the half-demon redhorn, who has lost their supernatural powers, and Moshwu, who drives a floating cart on his back to transport supplies, and several Dawning leaders are here. They watched as the magician did not speak, and the others were silent.
The magician's cheeks contorted: "What are you doing here!?Action! You cheap slaves, how dare you not listen to me!?"
Quicksilver gritted his teeth, and his hand was about to move, when Vance bumped her elbow against her, and then said in a dry voice, "We are only at the behest of His Excellency Zord, if you need anything, please go to him first." ”
"Don't use Zolde as a disguise! Can you afford to confront the magician?"
The magician was furious, and was about to make a move with his staff, when his subordinates coughed.
Only then did the magician see that the people around him had turned their heads and looked at him quietly, and the noisy square was suddenly silent, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"Cheap slaves! Wait, and that's when you can catch your breath!"
The magician spat hatefully and led his men into the teleportation circle.
Seeing this team leave, Liuyin also spat hatefully: "Phew!
A leader of the Dawning Society said, "There are many people who have been driven to Silver City by magicians to fight, and they don't have the courage to confront the magicians. ”
"This is also a necessary price, so that the mages can see our power and know that we are also fighting for freedom, and that the new High Council will also think about the future of Shadow City." ”
"Freedom does not come from charity", Vance said in a deep voice, "Now it is time for us to fight for our freedom!"
The leaders of the Night Society and the Dawn Society looked at each other, and the original hesitation, apprehension, and fear gradually dissipated in the intertwined gazes, becoming hot and firm.
"Duke...... I'm also fighting for the truth", Liuyin said with some concern, "I don't know what happened to him." ”
At the entrance to the underground city, the corpses were layered on top of each other, forming a low wall like a river embankment.
Looking at the enemies who were fleeing in a hurry, as well as the battle puppets who had lost control and stood in a daze, the silver-armored warrior lay down on the ground, his body shrunk and he couldn't stop breathing.
To the left and right of her and behind her, no one was standing, all gasping violently, and their eyes were glazed to see the zenith that had turned into pitch black.
The Demon Warriors Dressy and Kramer lay in a pool of blood, it wasn't their blood. Wearing a magic steel armor, even if the suppression disappeared later, no one could break their defenses.
"It's so ...... it"
Dressy couldn't find the words to describe his feelings for a while, so he had to turn to a blunt statement: "It's worth it to die like this." ”
Kramer chuckled, "yes, it's worth it, but I want to earn more." ”
"Yes," Dressy said longingly.
Not far behind them, Gambit muttered, "Always ...... Cardinal, it's still fighting, we can't give up!"
He stretched out his hand to remember the thorn in his heart, but his hand trembled in the air for a while, and then fell weakly.
"It's over, I can't hand over the public rations today", Gambit was confused, and had forgotten where he was.
Behind Gambitt were two little girls in the center who were protected by everyone, one with brown skin and pointed ears, and the other with silver hair and blue eyes.
The two little girls sat back to back, their heads drooping and making small snoring sounds.
..................
The hierarchical division of the buildings in the city of the Underground City is very obvious, and the outermost layer is a simple frame, surrounded by a few stones, and a few stone pillars are erected. The deeper you go, the more details you have, and gradually there are walls, doors, windows, ceilings, and even multi-story structures, and the floor is also paved with tiled streets.
Diving deep into the heart of the city, Richie thought he was back on the mainland, in a town like Conrad, and the difference between the two was only the architectural style. However, like other buildings, they are dilapidated as if they have been silent for a thousand years.
It was less than 10 kilometers from the outer barrier to the center of the city, and it still took more than two hours for the three of them to ride a floating bicycle.
This is the way to the call......
At first, it was a humanoid battle golem, and then it was a giant golem that was more than twice as tall and thick, and according to Sahina, it was a very old model.
Sakhina's metal arc attack survived the initial phase, and then replaced Richie and Tina.
At first, they also used the magic guide gun, magic fire bullet and magic fire barrel in the space ring to attack, but later found that even a zero-level divine skill could cause damage close to a third-level divine skill. The two of them threw away their weapons and attacked directly with divine magic, and the feeling that a first-level death impact could destroy a giant puppet was not too pleasant.
Gradually, the number of puppets decreased, and the kind of living corpse-like "bark people" appeared.
The strange thing is that these people seem to have occupations just like living people.
Some of them are like warriors and knights, wrapped in dark green light armor, wielding bright green lightsabers, and their attacks are powerful and heavy.
Some resemble spellcasters, firing clouds of dark green fireballs, or delaying their movements with spells such as spider webs and weight-gainers.
Others are like healers, who can combine broken bark people and bring them back to life.
Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of these bark people is generally not high, and the most powerful heroes are the heroes, and Richie and Tina can completely take them together with the miscellaneous soldiers and use a death scythe A.
Here, the power of the magic with the psychic effect is increased by at least two levels.
Li Qi even regretted it a little, knowing that he should have converted into a thorn or even a banner talent. Among the various professions of the Fei Gong, these two talents are more inclined to the spiritual department than the death talent.
The problem is that no matter how powerful the magic is, no matter how small the consumption of divine power is, it can't stop the endless bark people.
The deeper you go into the city, the more Bark People there are, and later the painting style completely changes to Resident Evil.
Their divine power began to dry up, and they didn't dare to fight anymore, so they just buried their heads and galloped.
When approaching the central area, it is not known if this is a forbidden area for the bark people, or if they have received an order to stop the tide of bark people.
Across an invisible line, the bark people are densely swaying. Countless pairs of dark green eyes flickered in the night, reminding Li Qi of the swarms of corpse spiders in the depths of the Great Temple of Rose.
The front of the street is brightly lit, it is a square, and there is a building in the center of the square, which is too far to see clearly, and it always feels a little abrupt.
"My heart is pounding on my instep," Tina said, feeling the pressure from the square.
Li Qi commanded, "Sashina, you are hiding here, let's go and see." No, the way you're now not only won't help, but you'll drag us down, so we'll take a look. ”
Sakhina let go of the hand holding Richie, opened her mouth, and didn't say anything more, her eyes were covered with thin tears, probably worried.
"We ...... What can be done?"
The two of them felt towards the square, and Tina couldn't help but ask.
"Discover the truth...... No, the truth is that everything is secondary, the main thing is to find the enemy, and then call for an air strike", Li Qixin said that what he is doing now is the work of special forces.
"Air strikes?"
Tina looked up and saw nothing but the surprisingly large moon and the starlight that was twinkling sharply near the moon.
"We'll know then," Richie pinched her ears, and her figure turned into ripples.
"Don't pinch it", Tina muttered dissatisfiedly, but her originally stiff cheeks softened, and she spat out a cloudy breath and disappeared.
In the stone-brick square, a dilapidated wooden house, no, strictly speaking, a shack stands in the center.
Not far from the shack stood two men, one was Gwentoline, who had turned purple, and the other was Menesus, who was gray-haired.
Two people in a shack, and nothing else in the square.
Ritchie and Tina touched the edge of the square, about a hundred meters away from the two of them, and with a hint of luck that they had not been discovered, Menesus turned to face them.
The old man's voice echoed in the square, and no emotion could be heard: "Ah, you are here, a little ahead of schedule, it seems that the divine power of the Crimson Lady is more complicated than I expected." ”
I sensed the connection between myself and Little Red Riding Hood a little, although it was not as smooth as when I was in the main plane, but it was not as difficult as before, it was a layer of window paper, and Li Qi showed his figure.
"So, Menesus, let's be honest, there's a witch in the house, right?"
Li Qi began to test it, but also to verify his guess: "When I first entered the underground city, I sensed a familiar power. But because there are many differences, I didn't understand it at once. ”
"It was only when I discovered the existence of the Bark People, that is, half-human, half-undead, and then discovered that the power of the mind here was extremely powerful, and I suddenly realized. ”
"This underground city should have been filled with corrupt qi initially, but the corrupted qi has been completely condensed by you into a legal spatial membrane, so you can't see or feel any trace of the corrupted qi. ”
"This membrane can amplify the power of the mind, and even make your wishes come true. Of course, it's just the bark people, the illusions of the poor people sent to the Undercity. ”
Li Qi looked up, and the sky was full of stars, and the place near the full moon was particularly active, and the rhythm of the flickering was almost exactly the same as the faint green pupils of the bark crowd that had just stopped outside the square.
"Those stars on their heads are their souls, which were forcibly left behind by this spatial membrane, and they were cut open, muddy souls. ”
"The entire Underworld is a soul furnace!"
"You have left the souls of mortals here, cut them with techniques that I don't understand yet, and attached them to matter and magic, turning them into immortal monsters. ”
"They still have emotions, they still live the same life as mortals in their eyes, they form a small mortal world, and the seven emotions and six desires that are generated, or thoughts and memories, are the food of witches. ”
"You then use the transformation circle to extract the magic power from the witch and maintain the layered mask of the Storm Islands. ”
"In such a conversion process, the conversion efficiency is definitely not 100%, and it will overflow a large amount of soul-corrupting power. Therefore, on the basis of the spatial membrane of the underground city, you have extended another layer of barrier to block the shadow city. ”
"The entire Shadow City is used as a buffer zone, and the civilians living in the Shadow City are wrapped in an invisible and faint corrosive force, and their souls decay much faster than ordinary people, so they only have a lifespan of thirty or forty years. ”
Menesus listened intently as he spoke, and from time to time he spoke out.
When Li Qi finished his guess, he realized what he had overlooked: "Wait, Miss Night's experiment ......"
Menesus laughed out loud, laughing so happily that it was like a teacher discovering in the homework book of a freshman who had just entered the school that he had made a childish mistake decades ago.
"Since you all know that the Storm Islands are a testing ground for the Night Lady, you should understand how ridiculous your guess just now is, right?
I forgot that this guy is the dean of the Supreme Magic Academy, and this is an occupational disease......
"How can this place, this world, its purpose of existence be just to provide energy for the Storm Islands' plane mask? ”
"As for the witch...... Ha ha...... Oh my God......"
Menesus couldn't even straighten up with a smile: "If the Night Lady knew that you thought of her masterpiece like this, she would be very angry. ”
Laughing and laughing, he coughed like a bellows before he stopped.
"This pathetic body will soon be put aside," he muttered, straightening up to look at Richie, "but you have surprised me that, apart from the most crucial mistakes, some of your inferences have come closest to the truth so far." ”
"It's no wonder that Lady Crimson's divine power is focused on the heart, and the priesthood is still woven by the ostracized primordial priesthood. As her spokesman, you are the most familiar with the spirit of corruption of all the clergy, and the least afraid of it. ”
"But just like swords, although the materials are the same, those swords that have been honed for thousands of years are not the same thing as swords that are mass-produced by crappy craftsmen. ”
"So, don't think you're going to have an advantage here. ”
Menesuth paused his staff and said in a gentle voice, "Now, let's do a little test to see how your emotions change when you become violent in such an environment. This can test the Crimson Divine Power and the ...... of the Night Lady The power of the law of the soul, who is strong and who is weak. ”
Li Qi was vigilant, and Tina behind him suddenly exclaimed: "Sa, Sashina!"
When I turned my head, it was Sashina!
She staggered and walked over like a puppet.
When I got closer, I could see that her cheeks were frighteningly white, and she was still twitching, looking a little hideous. Her gray eyes, which resembled Theresia, were completely unfocused, but tears were streaming from them. 10
