Chapter 114: Curse of the Eternal Night!
Seeing the reactions of the three of them, Zhou Qi couldn't help but look satisfied. As the saying goes, it's better to be alone than to be happy. Now you should know why my brother stared at the crown for a long time and couldn't let go!
"Boss? Do you want to look no further? I'll go! This is also ridiculous! ”
"I think the army is right, why don't you kid take a look at it again?"
"I don't think it's necessary. Leorik did not hesitate to use his clone to protect him. This thing may not be as bad as imagined. ”
Zhou Qi glanced at Huang Yueying. It's still their own beautiful military advisor who can see it. Judging from the ordinary situation, the crown in his hand is not only indescribable, it is simply a fighter in the garbage, or the best kind!
"Leoric's crown. Grade: Grey debris. The item does not meet the trigger condition and cannot be identified. ”
See what's written here?
If it weren't for the line of props marked later, the description would still leave a trace of thought. With just four words of gray sundries, this thing is just throwing it in the store and selling it for money!
"If this is the crown you're looking for, I wonder how long you're going to stay here?" Scarlett, who had been silent, glanced at Zhou Qi from afar, and asked in a deep voice with obvious impatience in his tone.
Meow, what's this guy's expression? Zhou Qixun's prestige couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Will you die if you don't pretend to be forced for a minute? Even if you really want to pretend, please hide that gloating look first, okay?
"We are about to return to New Tristram. I wonder what your plans are next? ”
"Hmph, it's my business where to go. You don't need to know. ”
"It's a pity, I originally wanted to invite you to have a drink at the Cattle Slaughter Hotel, but it seems that I didn't have this opportunity. Then there will be a period later. With that, Zhou Qi nodded to Scarlett and turned around unusually simply, raised his feet and left, as if he didn't want to stay for a minute.
"Yueying, I remember that the sages once said that when a race dies and lives alone, it is the beginning of its demise. I don't know if you've heard of it? ”
Zhou Lang's words are not bad, the lonely goose is out of the group, and it will be difficult to escape the misfortune of being buried in the ice and snow. Since ancient times, rare birds have been proud, and strange beasts are so high. However, the population is bound to become scarcer and the population is listed as endangered. How can a hamster live in a group and reproduce endlessly. Even in the last days, it may not be seen to die......"
Qingyue's male voice and sweet female voice asked and answered, and it was extremely harmonious. Drift away with the sound of footsteps. Every word reverberates clearly in the silence of the tomb.
In the darkness, Scarlett involuntarily fell into deep thought. In the eyes of the world, one's race is often equated with words such as mysterious, terrifying, and even compared to the demons of hell. Walking through the places they pass, people avoid snakes and scorpions. Compared to the popularity of other mages, it's a difference between heaven and hell!
To make matters worse, the population of the clan is withering. So much so that now he has to go out to find orphans to teach magic, so that the knowledge and skills of necromancy can be continued.
Is this situation really related to the traditional habit of seclusion and isolation?
"When a race dies and lives alone, it is the beginning of its demise. That's a bit interesting! Thinking back to the cunning guy's words just now, Scarlett's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly. Going for a drink at a cattle slaughterhouse? Well, maybe that's a good idea.
Wait a minute! What did the priestess just say?
Rare birds, strange beasts? Proud, high-minded?
Damn it!
The corners of Scarlett's mouth twitched, and he cursed hatefully. With a flash of blood, the thin figure disappeared from the tomb in an instant. This time, the blood traveled faster than ever.
Meanwhile! The Necropolis of Kings located southwest of New Tristram!
A low roar from the depths of the earth pierced the surface and soared into the sky! The loud noise can be heard for hundreds of miles! Under the agitation of the sound, the sky that was already covered by the haze suddenly rose and rolled endlessly!
In the distance, a cloud of pitch-black mist is like the ink spit out by an octopus quickly connecting into a line, surging like a tide!
Where the black fog swept through, the faint skylight dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. As if night had fallen in advance, the heavens and the earth fell into a deep darkness in the blink of an eye!
When Zhou Qi and the four of them walked out of the tomb, they couldn't help but be stunned. Strange things happen every year, especially today. It's only afternoon, why is it dark?
Compared to his surprise.
The head of the East Gate Fortress. Noticing the extraordinary vision in the sky, Archmage Häagen-Dazs and the chief priest Halanda were both terrified, and their eyes were even more suspicious!
However, as the entire town was swept into darkness after the fog, the surprise and suspicion in their eyes and the remaining trace of luck seemed to be swallowed up by the black fog, and finally vanished!
There were still hours before dusk, and it was already as dark as midnight. I am afraid that the only thing that can create such a situation in front of us is that it exists in a legend, and at the same time, it is the only explanation!
Curse of the Eternal Night!
Only the curse of eternal night, cast by Leoric, the former lord of Canduras and now Skeletron, can completely reduce this territory that once belonged to him into darkness in an instant!
Although the perennial overcast sky, the creatures of hell and the undead can be seen everywhere in the wilderness, the people who live here have long been accustomed to the lack of light.
It all sounds bad, but it's not the worst! As long as you stay in town, you can at least stay safe.
The Curse of the Eternal Night is different!
Descending from the royal blood of a generation of mad kings, and the vicious spells cast by the deepest anger in his heart, not only will keep all living in fear of darkness at all times! What's even more terrifying! This endless night will also greatly strengthen the dark creatures under its protection!
No amount of strong walls can stop thousands of undead who are much stronger than ever!
Although I had already guessed before the war that this apocalyptic curse might happen, I didn't expect it to happen, and it happened so quickly!
What exactly woke up that monster in advance? And what made him so angry!
Unfortunately, Häagen-Dazs and Halanda don't have time to think about it.
Outside the walls!
The army of the undead, temporarily stagnant due to the loss of siege weapons, attacked again just as darkness fell!
Protective barrier red light strobe! It's like ringing the death knell of the end of the world!
At first, it was as if the lake had been thrown into the rocks, but it shook slightly. As the undead soldiers beneath the walls launched an all-out assault from all corners, the shaking soon turned into a violent upheaval!
They slash with their swords, even if their fragile bones are shattered by the lightning from the defensive barrier!
They hit with bones! Even if the broken body is trampled to pieces by the same kind that squeezes behind him!
Countless undead are tireless and not afraid of death! There is no pause! A song of black death heavy metal is woven coldly with steel and bone machinery!
Eternal Night's Sudden Fall! The battle for the survival of New Tristram has really begun!
"Ramford, have the men sent to reinforce the Magic Tower set off?"
"Old man Halanda, you've finally put away that high-sounding title!"
"Damn it! To hell with those titles! ”
"Don't worry, I've drawn a whole squadron!" Ramford gave Haranda a confident look, and his eyes turned to look at the undead outside the city, and the slightest battle intent rose in his eyes!
Listening silently to the conversation between the two, Häagen-Dazs had tears of excitement in his eyes. I can't help but think of the image of when I went on an adventure with them many years ago!
Time flies, and although the adventure is long over, the former partner is already the ruler of the town. But when the real crisis arrives, it's as if everything is back to the way it used to be.
War! For now! And for the indelible past! Even if the night will overshadow the future!
"Ramford, get your men ready! Let's send these undead cubs back to the graveyard! ”
"As you wish, His Excellency Häagen-Dazs, the greatest mage of Canduras!"
"Get out!"
"Hahaha......"
The hearty laughter of three old friends resounded in the city, attracting the sideways glances of the surrounding soldiers!
It's the Captain and the Archmage! And the Lord Priest!
Look at the three figures who are talking and laughing freely! The soldiers, who were nervous by the sudden darkness in the sky and the tsunami-like roar of the undead legion, suddenly felt at ease!
"Herald! Devil's blood! Ramford retracted his smile, his sword raised above his head and gave a loud command!
"Devil's Blood ......!" The soldiers passed orders in turn. When these four words are shouted out of my mouth, it seems that all the fear and anxiety in my heart have dissipated!
In the barracks below the fortress, dozens of trebuchets pulled ropes in unison and tied them to fixed stakes. Immediately, sergeants and civilians rolled wooden barrels the size of beer barrels, which were more than half a person high, and carefully placed them on the "spoon handle" lowered by the trebuchet!
The barrel contained the blood of the devil from the Valley of Weeping in the north, a dark, pungent viscous liquid that was said to be the blood that flowed from the body of the Great Devil of Hell after his death! It is for this reason that they are difficult to extinguish once they are ignited!
To hell with this thing to those damn undead!
"Put!" With the sword in Ramford's hand, he swung downward! The soldiers waiting by the trebuchet raised their swords and cut the rope that held the handle of the spoon to it!
With the creaking of the log poles, one after another round barrels were ejected!
Häagen-Dazs held up the orb with one hand, lighting up the glow of magic! The rest of the mages scattered across the walls did the same, and began to chant incantations in unison under his guidance.
After the bright yellow light unique to earth-based magic flashed, the rock-solid ground outside the East Gate Fortress turned into a quagmire in an instant! The fluffy mud immediately trapped a large number of undead in it!
"Archers! Ignition! ”
"Ignition ......!"
"Get them out of the way to hell!"
"Roar!"
In the earth-shattering shout, the city was full of arrows! Thousands of arrows pass through the magical barrier, dragging them down like a rain of fire!
At this moment, the barrels exploded after falling to the ground, and in the flying sawdust, the blood of the devil in the color was all over the ground!
Next second!
Patches of ground are set on fire! In the blink of an eye, they are connected into a sea of fire at a very fast speed!
Look far away!
The dancing flame is like a ray of hope! I want to dispel this long dark night!
