Chapter 127: Altar of Celetus
(Brothers, Lao K is asking for a recommendation with a thick old face, pick up your tickets and smash them at me, let me see your hands~)
......
In the end, Xue Huan still didn't bear to tell the truth, and perhaps out of trust in the person he liked, Niya didn't ask any more questions.
Later, Xue Huan found a more secluded cave and placed the girl there, while he himself embarked on a journey to Zudak, and he had to settle the matter as soon as possible.
He knew that every extra moment of delay would not only make Nia, but even himself suffer one more moment.
As soon as he stepped on this land full of strange aura, Xue Huan's spiritual power sensed a hint of danger, and he quickly hid behind a hidden wood, poking out a pair of eyes.
And just this glimpse made his whole scalp tingle!
Not far ahead, I saw that a dense crowd of Dakale trolls were patrolling back and forth, some of them were holding crude axes and long swords, and some were wearing the robes of human mages and holding a short staff, dressed as mages.
Xue Huan roughly estimated that at present, the number of trolls on the periphery of this Zudak alone had reached hundreds, not to mention those close to the inside of the Gudak Fortress.
He used his spiritual power to slightly probe the strength of one of the trolls, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, the average strength of these trolls is probably only at the level of a mid-level knight or a mid-level mage in the human world, and according to the previous big beetle, he doesn't have to break into the lair of these trolls, he only needs to find the altar called Celetus and steal the Frost Eye, which is considered to be the completion of the task.
Thinking about it, Xue Huan's heart moved slightly, and a plan that had begun to take shape appeared in his mind...
The Altar of Celetus is located in the northerly direction of the entire Zudak, where the god of poisonous snakes is enshrined in the Dakale trolls, and the "Eye of Frost" that Xue Huan is looking for on this trip is sealed in this altar all year round.
As one of the five major altars that these trolls believe in, the Altar of Celetus is not unscrupulously guarded, in addition to a dozen Dakale troll warriors with giant axes and fierce eyes, there are also 4 Dakale troll wizards wearing purple robes, and their strength is around the high-level mages.
When Xue Huan quietly arrived at the Altar of Siletus along the stone wall of Zudak, the strength of the armament here was indeed a headache for him.
He wasn't a thief or an assassin, he didn't have the ability to hide in the shadows and destroy his enemies to steal treasures, and if he wanted to, he could easily use the rain of fire to eliminate the troll warriors who guarded them.
But then what?
Exposed to the enemy's vision, he will be surrounded by the troll warriors who have come from here, and at that time, as a mage, even if he has three heads and six arms, it may be difficult for him to escape.
Just when Xue Huan was at a loss, a sentence suddenly flashed in his mind, and immediately after, he took out the gem necklace that the spider demon guard had given him and held it in his hand.
He tried to inject his spiritual power into this gemstone necklace condensed from the spider demon's venom, and almost at the moment of infusion, he felt a whirlwind in the sky, the wind in his ears whirring, and even the scene in front of him began to blur.
But this state of wandering did not last long, and after a few seconds of short duration, he recovered, but his vision was still blurry.
What's going on?
Xue Huan was a little confused.
"You have entered the state of the soul, which is a gift from your master. ”
A faint voice came into Xue Huan's mind, and he was slightly stunned, this was Anubarak's voice!
"What do you mean?"
Xue Huan tried to establish a connection with Anubarak in his mind, and in fact, he had already become accustomed to this practice in his previous communication with Kel'thugad.
"You in your soul state will not be visible to these living, you can boldly enter the Celetus Altar to steal the Frost Eye, but remember, little one, creatures with strong perception will see through this magic, and this magic itself will not last too long, so you must complete the task as soon as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Anubarak's voice came to an abrupt end.
Very good!
After learning the news, Xue Huan's heart burst with joy, this ability is undoubtedly a great help for him, he took a deep breath and cautiously walked out of the grass.
One step, two steps...
Xue Huan tentatively swept past a troll who was engrossed in guarding the altar, and as he expected, the troll only blinked and sniffed the strange air, and did not react in the slightest, it seemed that these trolls did not have the ability to see through this spell.
And after the initial test was successful, Xue Huan no longer hesitated, he took three steps and made two steps, along the stone path, and quickly drilled into the altar of Celetus.
As soon as he stepped into the altar of Celetus with his front feet, he felt a biting cold coming at him with his back feet, and this strong temperature contrast made him shiver.
This is?
Soon, Xue Huan, who came back to his senses, was attracted by the blue orb floating in the center of the altar...
It was a jewel with an icy aura, crystal clear and flawless, and the strange frost it emitted was suffocating, almost reducing the temperature of the entire interior of the altar to below freezing.
Whew, it's cold...
Xue Huan exhaled a breath of heat, if it weren't for the fact that his body had been tempered by evil magic, he would probably not be able to resist this biting cold at all, and this treasure that exuded an unusual frost aura should be the "Frost Eye" that Anubarak said.
He cautiously, step by step, approached the treasure, and with each step forward, he clearly felt the biting coldness a little more. After reaching less than a meter away from the Frost Eye, he no longer hesitated, and quickly reached out and grabbed the treasure in his hand.
Hiss!
The moment the treasure was taken down by Xue Huan, the Frost Eye lost its original luster, and inside the Celetus Altar, the cold aura that pierced the bone marrow also dissipated.
And just before Xue Huan could react to this sudden change, a piercing roar resounded in his ears like thunder!!
"Humble human mage, you dare to sneak into this altar and try to steal this treasure!!"

(Seeing that Lao K's collection of dozens of friends' books has been eunuch for the most part, and only a few or four are still insisting on updating, Lao K can't help but sigh with emotion, it turns out that it is so difficult to be an author... )
(By the way, thanks to "Cold Heart" and "Ogissa" for their tips!)
