Chapter 33: Demonic Souls
After entering the door, this room belonging to the orc leader made Luo Ning a little surprised, not only because the room was very large, but also because the room was very simplely decorated.
Necruz's room is not the dwelling quarters of the Hammer Dwarves, but a large storage room. In fact, all of the Orcs of the Dragonmaw Clan who are now entrenched in Grimbaatar do not live in the original dwarven rooms, but have converted some of the original storage rooms into residences.
There is too much difference between the height of the dwarf and the height of the orc, which also causes the different requirements for the residence of the two sides, if you can live in the orc's house, you can also live in the dwarf, but if you can live in the dwarf's house, you may not be able to live in the orc.
Necruz is a Warlock, and race aside, he's a good leader. His private room was poorly furnished, with a straw blanket of sun-burning grass on the floor, a few old bookshelves in the corner, and only a wooden bed and a desk with a few plates of snacks and fruit in addition to the normal stationery.
The whole room was clear at a glance, but Ronin didn't let his guard down because of the simple setup of the room, he was a mage himself, and he also knew that some magic traps would behave mediocre until they were triggered.
Ronin walked to the bookshelf first and began to inspect every corner of the bookshelf with magic detection over and over again, he wanted to find the artifact "Demon Soul" of Necruz.
Before the mage accepted the mission, Kenrito's Mage Council had a heated argument over the news that the Red Dragon Queen had been controlled by Necruz. The focus of the debate is how Necrus controlled the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasa, you must know that the Red Dragon Queen is a guardian dragon with the power of Titans, not an ordinary cat or dog.
The controversy at the time did not lead to a definite conclusion, and there were even many mages who believed that this news could not be used as official information without conclusive evidence. In the controversy, "Demon Soul" has also been mentioned, but after all, "Demon Soul" is a legend tens of thousands of years ago, and everyone has never seen it, so it is a mystery whether there is such a thing or not.
Xu Mo was able to know that the "Demon Soul" was told to him by the space. And the reason why Ronin knew that the artifact in Necruz's hand was the "Demon Soul" was what Deathwing told him.
The old black dragon told the mage very clearly that he had felt the "demonic soul" near Grimbaatar, and affirmed that the Red Dragon Queen was controlled by Necrus because of the weakening of the "demonic soul".
However, Deathwing didn't tell Ronin what the "Demon Soul" looked like, and if the nerdy mage had worn the magic embellishment given by the old black dragon, he wouldn't have had to bother. It's a pity that the magic embellishment made of the black dragon's reverse scales is now lying quietly in Xu Mo's personal storage space, and it can't help him much.
Ronin anxiously used his magic to detect in the bookshelf, and the three orc guards fell down the staircase, although it was not yet dawn, but they were quickly noticed by the other orc guards, not to mention the other orc guard who went to find Necruz.
Luo Ning prayed over and over again in his heart, and several old bookshelves were quickly rummaged through by the nerdy mage. No, how could there be? Ronin was stunned, could it be that Necrus would take the "Demon Soul" with him at any time?
The mage shook his head in annoyance, he didn't think that Necruz would have the "Demon Souls" with him at all times. Luo Ning's judgment was based on evidence, although he didn't know what kind of artifact the "Demon Soul" was, but he knew that the "Demon Soul" was forged by the old black dragon of Deathwing.
Buttons, coins, and embroidery needles are already the smallest man-made objects that humans can carry on their bodies. If you convert the volume of a human to the volume of a black dragon, then the buttons, coins, and embroidery needles forged by the black dragon look about the size of a basin and a mace to humans.
Since Necruz wants to use the "Demon Soul" to control and weaken the Red Dragon Queen, then he can't hide the "Demon Soul" in an extradimensional item like the Space Bag. Not to mention, can such a powerful artifact as the "Demon Soul" be put into the space bag.
If it can't be put in the space bag, there are only two ways to dispose of the "Demon Soul", one is to hold it in the hand of Necruz, and the other is that if the "Demon Soul" is too big and heavy, he can only find a place to hide it and let the guards guard it closely.
If he was fighting or marching, Necrus would not let the "Demon Soul" out of his sight, but now inside Grimbaatar, Necrus is a warlock with a staff in his hand, could he hold the huge "Demon Soul" in his other hand?
Based on this judgment, Ronin believes that the "Demon Souls" are still in Necruz's room nine times out of ten. Since there are no bookshelves, and the rest of the place is clear at a glance, it is impossible to hide relatively large things, could it be that there are earth and stone mechanisms in this room?
Thinking of this, Luo Ning suddenly looked deflated, he could detect the magic mechanism, but he couldn't help the earth and stone mechanism, and he was not a stalker and a hunter.
Just give up? No, Luo Ning shook his head like a rattle, he could imagine with his ass, how anxious his companions were now about him. If he just gave up, not to mention that he couldn't pass his own level, and when he looked back and saw those few people, he felt that he couldn't explain.
With a sigh, the nerdy mage had no choice but to beat his staff on the walls around him like a blind cat killing a mouse, hoping to find the imaginary earth and stone mechanism.
"Dang Chang Dang!" As the mage was tapping, there was a sudden crisp sound behind him.
"Ahh Before the mage could turn around, Amira's panicked screams could be heard from the room.
A violent wave of magic behind him startled Ronin, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Amira rolling on the ground with her head in pain. In the air above her, a spatial crack opened, and from the gap came a black, translucent, three-toed claw, grabbing at the dwarven girl.
"Ghost Touch?" Luo Ning's eyes widened as he looked at the translucent giant claw, and hurriedly waved his staff, using the second instantaneous magic that had long been stored in the gem, the Holy Light Shield.
A soft shield of light fended off the ghostly touch's attack on Amira, and the giant black claw clung tightly to the shield of light, and the tips of the claws emitted a slow black smoke as if it was being burned by flames.
Luo Ning frowned, and while retreating, he didn't dare to let the slightest trace of black smoke get on his body, and on the other hand, he held his staff and continued to maintain the integrity of the Holy Light Shield. These black smoke are made up of the resentment of the necromancy, which can cause great damage to the souls of living beings.
Spectre Touch is a type of soul magic that uses necromantic resentment to form a giant claw that can attack the soul of a living being, causing irreparable damage to the soul when it touches the living being.
The Holy Light Shield that Luo Ning cast just now is just right to restrain the Ghost Touch in nature, so although the magic grade of the Holy Light Shield is lower than that of the Ghost Touch, it is enough to temporarily block the Ghost Touch, and with Luo Ning's continuous increase in magic power, the uncontrolled Ghost Touch finally completely dissipated after maintaining it for a while.
Luo Ning exhaled softly, glad that he had chosen the Holy Light Shield as one of the three instantaneous spells stored in the staff. The Light Shield is not as good as the Mage's magic shield, but the magic shield is a large magic spell that his staff can't store.
Necrus is also a warlock, most of the magic mastered belongs to dark magic, and the shield of holy light belongs to light magic, and he has restraint in most of the dark magic, and his choice is correct, which is also due to his usual in-depth study of magic.
After the ghost touch dissipated, Luo Ning hurriedly took two steps forward and helped up the dwarf girl who was trembling with her head in her arms.
"Is this a fluctuation of 'Fear Howl' magic?" Luo Ning felt the magic fluctuations in the air, and his heart suddenly moved, "Use the 'Fear Howl' to temporarily lose the enemy's mind, and then use the 'Ghost Touch' to take the enemy's life, this is a terrific serial magic trap, which should have been arranged by Neocrus himself!" ”
Seeing that the dwarf girl was still curled up, trembling all over, and deep in the "fear howl", Luo Ning quickly used magic to dispel the magic effect of the "fear howl".
"Hey, what happened to Amira just now!" Amira woke up, blinked her little eyes, put her fingers in her mouth and sucked, and grunted embarrassedly.
Luo Ning was surprised to find that the dwarf girl was actually ashamed of her performance, and couldn't help but say funny: "You just fell into the magic, let's not talk about this, what did you just move, how could it lead to such a terrifying magic trap?" ”
"Amira didn't move anything? Just hungry and eating something? The dwarf girl pursed her lips and said aggrievedly.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Ronin looked towards the desk, he remembered that there were indeed a few plates of snacks and fruits on Necrus's desk just now, and before Emira's accident, he also heard the sound of overturning the fruit plate.
On the floor of the desk, there were snacks and fruits scattered around, as well as a few large metal plates. Looking at these things, Luo Ning's eyes lit up, could it be that Necruz used camouflage to hide the "demon's soul" in the snacks and fruits.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Luo Ning became, and raised his hand to throw a few magic detections at these things. Then his mouth opened wider and wider, and the problem was not snacks and fruits, but a metal fruit bowl on the ground.
I saw that this large golden plate, about the size of a basin, emitted a faint golden light under the detection magic, and the light became more and more intense, and finally it turned into a small sun.
"Necrus is really a genius, and he actually disguised the "Demon Soul" as a fruit plate like this. If it weren't for the fact that Amira was hungry and went to get snacks and fruits to eat, triggering the magic trap set on the "Demon Souls", I am afraid that he would have succeeded in hiding from the world! Luo Ning sighed and took two steps forward to pick up the "Demon Soul".
