Chapter 36: Familiar Face (First Recommendation Vote)
The city of Heidler was gloomy and tinge with a faint grayness, like the monotony of the necromantic realm.
Before the entrance gap, Douglas, Fernando, Vicente, Klaus, and Erica had already arrived, waiting for Lucien.
"You brought the Shield of Truth with you?" Klaus guessed with a smile when he saw Lucien who was belated, "plus the Crown of Thorns you borrowed, there are a total of five legendary items on your body, which is really unprecedented, even I, a full-time alchemist who is a magician, and Your Excellency the Speaker is only four." ”
"Your Excellency's items are either Legendary Peak or Legendary Third Order, how can I compare. Lucien was "modest" and authentic.
The reason why the number of legendary items is scarce, one is that the main materials needed are precious, and one may not be collected for hundreds of years, and the second is that the requirements for refiners are very high, in addition to the legendary magician and the Holy Spirit priest, the vampire prince, the primeval dragon, etc. can only rely on racial talent to refine by strange means, the failure rate is extremely high, and the epic knight must rely on others to help, so there are very few similar items that have been handed down before the magic empire, and the late empire is now an explosive stage, and the number of legendary items has doubled or tripled.
It is precisely because of this that Hathaway, a legendary magician who is good at "luxury cracking" and "elemental decomposition", is hated and feared, and if he is not careful, he will ruin the accumulation of years.
Vicente, the Lord of the Revenants, planned to talk to the two: "Now that we're here, it's time for us to go." ”
"Yes, it's time to go. Douglas smiled faintly, solemnly without nervousness.
After getting a lot of information from the necromantic world. The Magic Council had already solved the problem of how to see the gap, and at this time, under the specially arranged magic array, the twisted gap was clearly visible, exuding a strong aura of death, filled with a trace of black, white and gray dullness.
Walking through the gaps, once again experiencing the feeling of walking through a thick curtain of shadows, Lucien stepped into the Necronomical Realm, surrounded by a chaotic reflection of the city of Heidler, with towering towers stacked on top of each other. It's like a black and white picture scroll drawn casually by a child. Everywhere is stuffed with a faint gray.
In the entire world, there is no extra color except for each other.
"It's been the first time I entered the Necromantic Realm and got the Corona of the Sun. Knowing that Mr. Maskeling is trapped. It's been almost ten years. It's finally time to truly explore the necromantic realm. Lucien sighed inwardly, he had just become a full-fledged magician.
Due to the suppression of teleportation in the necromantic realm, Douglas and Fernando led Lucian and the others through the continuous jump of seven forward bases. Arrived at the frontier base near the depths and saw Begner, the prophet who was on duty here.
He still wears a gray pointed hat, and his two white eyebrows seem to have grown a little longer
"The result I got with astrology is that the mysterious existence of the necromantic realm does not have any precursors of awakening, but there are other dangers hidden in the necromantic temple, you must not be careless, if you encounter great danger, remember, do not rush back, only by moving forward can you see hope. Begner babbled about the outcome he had spent two months preparing for the prophecy.
Fernando wondered, "Forward?, and we just arrived at the Soul Fireplace, did the initial exploration and returned, the legendary undead in the outer area should not be able to pose a substantial danger to us." ”
According to Adore's memories and the information left by Viken, there are only four undead creatures in this area that have reached the third order of legends: the Lich King, the Servants of the Reaper, the Ancient Mummy, and the Ghost Lord, Douglas alone can suppress at least three, and the rest of the undead are only the second and first orders of the legend, and the number is no more than six, without the interference of the third order of the legend, Fernando himself can make them truly fall into a deep sleep, not to mention the revenant lords and "local tyrants" who are quite restrained by the necromancers Lucian, even if he was completely surrounded by those forty or so legendary undead creatures without intelligence, it would not be a big problem.
"Adore is just a high-level undead, and his knowledge of the outer areas of the Necronomicon Temple is still very superficial, and he is only familiar with the places he frequents, and all the rooms, palaces, and corridors in the Necronomic Sanctuary are subject to change at any time, just like a living labyrinth, and there may be dangerous rooms or corridors that he does not know. Vicente cautiously retorted to Fernando.
After he released the information of Adore and Viken, Lucien understood why Muskeline would leave the law of coordinate transformation, because the buildings in the Necronomicon Temple are constantly changing, maybe yesterday it was the Garden of the Dead, and today it has become a black tombstone, even if a high-level undead like Adore only knows some of the laws of change in the outermost part of the Dao, every time he goes to the soul hearth, he is led by the legendary undead.
The prophet Begner said solemnly: "I don't know where this danger comes from, maybe you can't touch it, but be careful." ”
Douglas nodded lightly and said to Lucian, Erica and the others: "This exploration is divided into two parts, the first part is to try not to cause a big movement, just like Maskeline did for the first time, quietly arrive at the soul hearth, do preliminary research on it, and by the way look for signs and reasons for the church's cooperation with the necromantic world, the second part is to return to the outer area and gradually clean up those legendary undead who have no intelligence." ”
The reason why he didn't clear it first and then enter was because he was worried that the movement would be too big for those legendary undead with wisdom to fear, and open the possible mystery of the Necronomicon Temple, or attract the interference of other forces, and the purpose of exploration could not be achieved.
After confirming the plan, the six legendary magicians left the forward base and flew into the depths stealthily.
About an hour later, a huge black suddenly appeared in Lucian's pupils, it was a majestic and magnificent palace complex, which was many times larger than Alinge, half the size of the Kingdom of Holm, and the height was immeasurable, because it was deep into the gray sky, and there was no end in sight.
Even if the Great War of Legends would cause the destruction of a normal city, it would only be the collapse of a large hall or garden for this palace complex.
"The deeper you go, the stronger the material of the palace becomes, and perhaps the deepest rooms are all made up of the 'Wall of Sighs'. "The Lord of the Dead has a rare amount to say. There is a thirst for exploring the soul fireplace.
The Wall of Sighs, one of the strongest defensive spells of the necromancy, cannot be broken by any attack except that it will be destroyed by real sunlight, and he is only using this as a metaphor.
Lucien wasn't worried about this magic, the Eternal Sun happened to be its nemesis.
The wasteland beyond the Necronomicon was densely packed with moving corpses, both humans and elves. There are dragons. There are eye demons, there are Kou Tao fishmen, there are sphinxes, and their skin is rotten. The muscles and white tendons were exposed. Strange maggots kept burrowing in and out. They squirm slowly and wander aimlessly, due to the lack of sound and color. It's like putting on a black-and-white movie.
"It's all very good, very good corpses. As the height decreased, Vicente, Lord of the Revenant, looked at them with delight, like a child seeing a beloved toy.
Erica whispered a spell and cast the illusion of the group, so that in the sense of every undead creature, Lucien and the others were undead.
Approaching the Necronomicon Temple, the six of them landed completely on the ground, shuttling among the undead, the stench of decay coming to their faces.
In this area, the wandering undead also began to appear high-ranking leaders, some with intelligence and some acting only on instinct.
Suddenly, a three-headed giant dog spewed white flames and looked over, as if it smelled the breath of life, the breath that was disgusting.
When it opens its mouth, it growls silently.
At this moment, Vicente glared at it, and the dark red flames jumped, and it fell to the ground, and its three heads touched the ground, and its tail of white bones was raised high, and it was unusually afraid and flattering.
In its vicinity, the other undead also stopped moving, making strange gestures, as if welcoming their master's return.
"It's worthy of being the 'Lord of the Dead'. Lucien grasped the exact meaning of this legendary profession.
Under the invisible deterrence and illusion concealment, it didn't take long for Douglas, Fernando, Lucien and the others to see the wall that shimmered with black cold light, the wall that had no end in sight.
"Six kilometers to the left of the entrance. Douglas calculated from Adore's memories that the palace complex seemed to be extremely immune to probing spells.
So the six of them turned around and marched along the wall, when a large group of mummies appeared, some human and some sphinx, with gray strips of cloth stained with fishy stains.
The two sides gradually approached, and under the influence of illusion, the mummies did not notice it, and wandered in a daze.
Seeing that they were about to pass by, in this group of mummies, a sphinx's eyes flashed with an evil and cold light, and his body suddenly swelled, two or three of his own clan were tall, and there was also a golden crown inlaid with sun stones and moonstones on his head, and his aura quickly became terrifying.
"Ancient mummies?"
There are many ancient mummies, but only one is sapient, and this Sphinx is obviously not, because its eyes quickly become bloodthirsty and brutal, glowing with a strange red, but even so, it is a legendary creature!
The mummy's mouth was wide open, ready to signal vigilance.
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded:
"Advanced time stops. ”
Lucian's eyes turned gray, as if the entire world had frozen, and when he recovered, he saw only a few rays of light jumping over the ancient mummy, and the last thing was a brilliant meteor that destroyed it.
The sphinx mummy turned into countless corpses, and black beetles emerged from the rotting flesh.
"Is this the strength of the Legendary Peak? A Legendary Undead creature was wiped out in the blink of an eye, even if it was only of the first order. Lucien sighed, and suddenly felt that this mummy was a little familiar, "Huh, familiar?"
"Keep going. Douglas said in a calm voice.
Lucien was just about to take a step, when he suddenly recalled a few images, so he connected through his mind and said, "Your Excellency, Speaker, wait a minute. ”
"Questions?" Fernando asked.
Lucien pointed to the shattered corpse on the ground, "I seem to have seen it somewhere, I want to observe it again." ”
As for the clues, of course, several legendary magicians will not let go, waiting for Lucian.
A moment later, just as Lucien was about to remember, the black beetles burrowed back into the rotting corpses, and the corpses began to wriggle and converge in the center!
"Not dead yet?" Erica is well aware of the lethality of His Excellency Speaker's Destiny Meteor, a legendary magic of the Astral System that can be killed along with the Amulet Life Crate!
What exactly is this mummy hiding?
Douglas also frowned slightly, he didn't know what fate meteor would fail, if Lucian didn't ask to stop and observe, he would probably suffer the loss of the necromantic world because of this.
Slightly stunned, Lucien transformed into an epic knight, drew his silver-gray sword, and slashed at the rotting corpses that had been regrouped.
"Ahh
The terrible scream was transmitted along the sword body into Lucian's soul, allowing Lucian to see a vision:
In a black, white and gray gloomy mausoleum, countless reddish-brown spider silk was tied to a gray coffin, on which there was a rust-colored ball of light stained with blood, with his sword, the spider silk broke inch by inch, the ball of light trembled violently and then split into two halves, quickly disappeared, the lid of the coffin was knocked open, and a sphinx mummy sat up with a howl of pain, and then fell apart and rotted into a beach of scarlet pus.
Phinx, King of the Sphinx?(To be continued......
