Chapter Seventy-Two: Team Weiss
At this time, in a small two-story building in the eastern slum area of Silvermoon City, a young man in hunting clothes looked out the window at a ray of dawn and sighed. Although he had expected it in advance, the failure of the plan when he had painstakingly planned two tasks still made him feel bitter.
"Captain, there's a movement in Milot's life box!" As the youth was reflecting, one of his female companions pushed the door open and said with some excitement, "Are we going according to plan?" ”
"Plans? Our plan has long since failed! The young man twitched the corners of his mouth and said helplessly, "Now it's just a matter of making up for the loss and recovering some losses." ”
The young man pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait a minute, although we have failed, we must at least know the whole process of events from Milot's mouth, and figure out which apostolic team is meddling in this competitive task." ”
"Commander, Milot is a legendary powerhouse, if he escapes......" The young man's companion asked hesitantly.
"Hmph, even if Milot is resurrected through the Guò Life Box, he will no longer be the unattainable legendary mage. All his equipment, including **, was lost in the Supreme Palace, and the newborn lich body did not even recover its magical power, and a chain of isolation circles was arranged around the room......"
The young man pursed his lips and said indifferently, "We can't even deal with such a half-lich, then we can kill us with a piece of tofu." ”
The two then went out and came to the second floor of the small building.
There are only two rooms on this floor, and one of the larger rooms has two figures standing guard in front of the door. The outer wall of this room is engraved with an intricate magic circle, and in fact, there are magic patterns on the floor and ceiling that are invisible to the naked eye, encompassing the entire room like a wrap.
There were two people outside the door of the room, one was tall, carrying a huge tower shield, and his muscles were tangled, like an iron tower. The other figure was relatively thin, draped in a black robe, and his face was pale and bloodless.
At this time, if there were the silver-clad guards of the Supreme Palace here, it is estimated that they would be able to recognize this black-robed mage as the prisoner they had imprisoned in the underground cell more than a month ago.
"Leader......" The shield guard and the black-robed mage greeted each other when they saw the young man coming.
"Well, Romon, you've worked hard all this time!" The young man rolled his gaze and reached out to pat the black-robed mage on the shoulder.
"Nothing!" The black-robed mage's seemingly dull eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head slightly, "It's just that I didn't expect Santarin to have such a careful plan, and it really failed." It's a pity that I've been in my cell, I don't know much about what happened in the palace, and I still don't know who my opponent is? ”
"It's okay, is failure the mother of success!" The young man chuckled indifferently, having recovered from his previous loss, and stretched out his hand to push open the door, "Let's see, how much compensation can be given to us by the returning Lord Milot?" ”
Hearing the young man's words, the other three looked into the room at the same time. The furniture in this room had long since been vacated, and the empty room was filled with snot-like black goo.
These filthy things cling to the walls and ceiling like spider webs, forming an irregular three-dimensional web, and at their core is a boxy black metal box.
The metal box was engraved with countless mysterious magic runes, and all six sides of the cube were identical, as if they could not be opened at all.
There was a small six-pointed star circle on the floor of the room, and the crystal clear magic crystals on the six corners were emitting a charming halo at this time, and bursts of magic power fluctuations were shaking like ripples.
With the fluctuation of the magic power of the magic circle, the metal box adhered to the air by the black viscous body, the magic runes on the surface began to flash, and the black sticky matter adhered around it rushed to the metal box like a vein, and soon wrapped it into a ball of flesh.
The ball of flesh erects regularly like a heart, and the frequency is getting faster and faster, and it gradually begins to grow.
"Milot's reincarnation has begun!" Seeing this scene, a cold light flashed in the young man's eyes, and he turned his head and asked, "Have all the spars of the Reincarnation Circle been replaced?" ”
"Well, they are all one size smaller, and they can only support 'that adult' to form a lich body that is extremely weak." There was a hint of sarcasm on the shield guard's rugged face, "Originally, the monkey was going to use his hands and feet on the magic circle, but I was afraid that I would fail to reincarnate, so I didn't do that!" ”
"Oh, by the way, what about the monkey people?" The young man asked in surprise.
"A monkey is a monkey, where can he be idle in that temperament, it seems that he has run to the vicinity of the Supreme Palace to find out the news." The shield guard shrugged helplessly.
Just as a few people were talking, the meat balls in the room finally began to change.
The ever-expanding ball of flesh sprouted countless flesh buds and waved in the air like tentacles. The granulations are constantly tangled vertically and horizontally, and the darker part of the flesh slowly reveals a porcelain-like texture, growing from top to bottom, forming a human skeleton, while the soft flesh buds continue to grow around the skeleton, gradually covering the entire skeleton.
In a few moments, what was originally just a ball of flesh took the form of a human body. Although its surface has not yet formed facial features and skin, it seems to be only a matter of time.
However, the skeleton of the lich body was empty, except for a wriggling mass of unidentified objects, and there were no human internal organs. With the formation of the Lich's body, the black goo that was originally connected to the ball of flesh seemed to be absorbed by the energy, and the color turned gray, constantly turning into ashes and scattering on the ground.
"What a magical spell!" The black-robed mage who was called Luo Meng by the young man, his dead gray eyes lit up with a fine light, and he said in admiration, "Leader, why do you have to let Milot be reincarnated, in fact, it's not bad to leave this life box alone!" ”
"Oh, Romon, don't be greedy! Milot's Lich Transformation is incomplete, and even if this life box can be brought into the starry sky, it is estimated that it is only a consumable. The young man explained with a smile, "But killing a legendary mage has a high chance of forming a bloody Rubik's cube." What's more, Milot's status in the Santarin Society is not low, and we can also get a world exploration degree to make up for the loss of the failed mission. ”
"That's right! Leader, if you find out the skills of a mage above level B, it will be mine! The black-robed mage licked his lips, a hint of flattery on his pale face.
"Can you use the advanced skills of necromancers and lichs?" Without waiting for the young man to speak, the shield guard couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Originally, the black mage was no longer human, and he really wanted to turn into a skeleton shelf!" ”
"Cut, as long as there is power, the appearance of a lich is nothing!" The black-robed mage rolled the whites of his dead gray eyes and muttered.
"Alright, stop arguing, Milot's consciousness is about to awaken!" Another female companion next to them reminded softly.
Before the woman's words fell, the four people outside the door felt a huge soul fluctuation at the same time, bursting out from the lich's body in front of them.
Because of the weakened magic crystal's magic circle, the lich's body was not fully grown at this time, and the skull, which lacked skin and some muscles, slowly lifted up, and two miserable green soul fires emerged from the two hollow eye sockets.
"This is ......" The toothless gums of the skull were a little leaky, and it seemed that it was not fully awake, and it was intermittently speaking vague words.
"Milot-sama, you're finally awake!" The young man's eyes flashed, and he stepped into the room with a smile, and supported the half-lich who had only built seven or eight percent of his body.
"Are you...... Weiss! The lich glanced down at his body and said in a staccato manner, "Lich body...... So I've completed my reincarnation, and I haven't gone wrong with my soul consciousness when I returned......"
"Yes, Milot, Milot, apart from Romon and several adults who went to the Supreme Palace, you are the only one who has returned." Taking advantage of the fact that the lich's consciousness was not yet fully awake, the young man hurriedly asked, "My lord, what happened last night, and how did our plan fail?" ”
"Plans? Yes, Lord of the Silvermoon Erastro, assassinate ......" The lich turned his head, and the soul fire suddenly trembled, letting out a shrill that did not resemble a human, "Damn Erastro, damn the Great Sage of Candlekeep, damn the Raven, damn the Elven Prince......"
The lich roared and cursed wildly, including some of its own. It has just been reincarnated, and its memory is still a little confusing, and it keeps cursing, and the things it tells seem chaotic.
"Miral, so the Moon Elf Prince, who suddenly appeared at the banquet celebration, played a big role in this failed assassination?" Although the lich's narration of the curse and roar was incoherent, the young man gradually restored the qiē that happened in the Supreme Palace last night.
"Feral Moonlight, I think I've heard of that name!" The black-robed mage next to him frowned slightly.
"I know, it's the month when the elf prince re-walked the ancient path with the Sun Elf envoys a few months ago!" The shield guard snorted in surprise.
"Is that him?" The young man and a few of his companions looked at each other quietly, and their hearts slowly began to realize.
In fact, the last time they entered the time and space point of the Torreel world, they were in the same batch as Qin Lun and the others. Compared to Qin Lun's fortress team, there is also the Lost Newcomer Group, who have received the corresponding competitive task to destroy the ancient path of the Sun Elf envoys.
However, several apostolic teams in the Santarin Order at that time were reluctant to carry out this task. The reason couldn't be clearer, the world of Torrell is a big world, and there are countless related story missions, and the task of sniping the Sun Elf envoys is the most thankless of them.
On the one hand, there are countless high-level powerhouses in the Torrell world, and the strength of the apostle team is relatively not strong. If they want to carry out important plot missions, they almost all have to rely on plot forces.
The Ancient Path quest is far from the headquarters of the Santarim Society, and the Japanese Elven Envoys will pass through various elven courts along the way, and they are fighting on the enemy's territory. As for the Apostles, they don't want to be cannon fodder for the Santarim Society.
On the other hand, they don't have the specific marching route of the Sun Elf envoys, and they are not natives of the Torel world, so they are not familiar with the geographical environment, so they may not be able to intercept the envoys. This kind of thankless task with unclear benefits is naturally not willing to do it.
As it turned out, the Apostles of the Santarin Order, including Weiss's team, were right, except for intercepting the Sun Elf envoys in the Moon Sea area and the territory of the Kingdom of Jondas, the assassins of the Santarin Society were never able to find any trace of the envoys in the later stage.
The last time the elven envoys were seen, they had already reached Baldur's Gate, and the last leg of the road was escorted by the elven guards of the Eternal Gathering Island, and the Santarim Society never had any chances again.
Although the first two interceptions worked, they only reduced the escort of the envoys, and failed to kill the most important prince of the Sun Elves, Milleras!
Of course, although the apostolic team of the Santarin Society camp did not carry out this troublesome mission, through the intelligence of the Santarin Society, they still knew the beginning and end of that epic plot, and they were not unfamiliar with the name Philar Moonlight.
"That's right, after being missing for a few months at Baldur's Gate, it reappeared...... It seems that our opponent this time is this Moon Elf Prince of Theopia! The young man said a little self-deprecating on the team channel, "Look at the people, we have become the Moon Elf Prince in a single story mission, and we haven't really been treated as our own by the Santarin Society!" ”
"I guess they found out about our plan by chance!" The shield guard muttered to himself, but the lack of confidence in his words was palpable.
"Cut, failure is failure, what excuse is there to find." The black-robed mage said with some rejoicing, "Fortunately, the head of the regiment found out in advance, otherwise if we had entered the Supreme Palace last night, it would have turned into a few bloody Rubik's cubes." ”
"Alas, the plan this time is too big and too complicated, and it is inevitable that there will be flaws." The young man said with some frustration, "Since that team has even carried out tasks like the Ancient Path, it is estimated that its strength is stronger than ours, and it is not too ugly to lose in their hands!" ”
In fact, Weiss's team didn't know that what the shield guard said was right, and Qin Lun and the others would find out about the conspiracy of the Santalin Society, which was really just a coincidence.
As for being misunderstood that the strength is very strong, it is because during the Ancient Path, there were two silver teams in the Sun Elf Envoy Regiment, the Fortress and the Lost Newcomer Regiment. The combined strength of the two apostle teams, plus Elistin and the others, was of course much stronger than the five of them.
Weiss...... Why are the elemental fluctuations here so sluggish! After a while, the lich's consciousness became more and more sober, and he began to realize that something was wrong.
"Oh?! Miral, this is not surprising. Because I was afraid that the movement of your reincarnation would be too big and attract the attention of the officials of Silvermoon City, I took it upon myself to engrave a magic circle around the room to isolate the magic elements. The young man came back to his senses from the discussion on the team channel, a hint of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes, and he replied with a smile.
"Mana Isolation Circle?" The soul fire in the lich's eyes flickered slightly, and he said unexpectedly calmly, "Well, you are very thoughtful, then let's get out of here as much as possible!" ”
"Hey, my lord, aren't we going to do the backup plan anymore?" A smile appeared in the young man's eyes, and he asked in feigned surprise.
After the Farm Incident that night, Weiss arranged a backup plan for the Assassins of the Santarin Society, tricking Milot into setting up a vicious Abyss summoning circle in the civilian area of Silvermoon City. The intent is to re-inflame chaos in Silvermoon City as soon as the assassination plan fails, and then take the opportunity to assassinate Erastro.
At that time, the necromancer, who had not yet transformed into a lich, agreed, and seconded a batch of magical materials and resources from the headquarters to Weiss. And the apostles also turned down the assassination mission to enter the palace, except for the black-robed mage Luo Meng, who was already lurking in the dungeon, no one else entered the Supreme Palace.
In fact, the necromancer would have agreed to this backup plan at that time, on the one hand, because he had not yet realized that the enemy's strength would be so strong. On the other hand, he felt that the original plan was seamless, and no matter what happened, he could hit Erastro hard, and the backup plan was just a supplement.
Of course, Weiss's backup plan is just to scatter Talin and continue the mission, as well as to cheat some magic items. Their own backup plan is simply to kill the half-lich in front of them and get its bloody Rubik's cube.
"There's no point, Erasdr wasn't injured last night, and there are several legendary powerhouses around him now, even the Storm Queen, the Grand Sage of Candlekeep, and the Shield Dwarf have intervened......" The Lich's soul fire flickered, and he said in an accentuated tone, "Take me out of the city immediately, this Lich Body is not completely complete yet, I need time to recover!" ”
"That's not going to work, Milot-sama!" Weiss's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "If we don't carry out a backup plan, where will we find compensation for our losses?" ”
"Your losses? Hehe, well, I'll personally compensate you when I get back to Santil Castle......," the lich's soul fire jumped lightly and said lightly.
"No, Milot-sama, aren't you our compensation?" The young man flipped his wrist, and a cold-lit dagger easily plunged into the lich's chest, but he did not hesitate to dodge the lich's side.
"Why do you want to do this......" The lich's weakened body fell to the ground, glanced down at the dagger on his chest, and gritted his teeth, "What price did Erasdra give you?" Will Santarin let you go, she can't protect you for a lifetime, it's too late to stop now! ”
"Milot, you misunderstood, if we betrayed you to the Silver Moon Alliance, why wait until now!" Weiss chuckled softly and waved at a few of his companions behind him.
"What's that for? Wealth, magic gear, spell inheritance? I don't have anything on me now, kill me, and you won't get anything! The lich screamed hoarsely.
"Commander, what are you talking nonsense about it, it's over early!" The shield guard smiled sinisterly, and reached out with his large hand towards the lich's neck.
A moment later, the shield guard happily picked out a blood-red Rubik's Cube from the ashes of the Lich's body and threw it to Weiss in the rear, "Sure enough, the Rubik's Cube is out, and I haven't lost too much this time!" ”
"Commander, what are we going to do next?" The female companion, who had not spoken much, looked at the bloody Rubik's cube in Weiss's hand and asked softly.
"What's next...... There is no way to take the task over there in the Santalin Society! Weiss said thoughtfully, "Let's go out of the city first, and let the monkeys keep an eye on the Moon Elf Prince...... He ruined the plan we had been planning for so long, so naturally he has to give us an explanation! ”
