Chapter 17: A Strange "Adventure"
Sammy's joints seemed to be rusty and stiff, and his posture was strange, but his speed was not slow, and he quickly walked to the door, opened the door of his bedroom, and stepped into the corridor outside where only the dim street lights remained.
"Come along and have a look. Karl repeated, then sucked behind Sammy like a black cheetah, nimble but quiet.
Downey's mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't figure out what to expect from this situation for the first time, but his friend had to follow Carl and hang Sammy from a distance.
After walking for dozens of seconds, Sammy, with his eyes closed, got into the stairwell and walked downstairs with a half-jump, but he was silent, as if every staircase had become extremely soft.
This weirdness combined with the gloomy light of the stairwell made Donnie's hair stand on end, and he whispered to Carl: "He doesn't seem to be conscious, he only knows how to move forward instinctively, otherwise he would have chosen the elevator." ”
Their dormitories are on the second floor of the Tower of Life, with elevators leading to the hall, basement, and other floors, so the stairwells are rarely used, so much so that many of the magic chandeliers are destroyed and no one cares.
Carl looked at Sammy, who was around the corner of the stairs, and his voice suddenly sounded in Donnie's heart: "Maybe it's because you don't want to choose the elevator......"
Donnie was startled, where did this voice come from?
"We can talk to each other without having to speak...... Carl said again.
Donnie was stunned and thought, this is the effect of a certain ornament on his body?
Suddenly, he was stunned: "Don't you want to choose? You mean Sammy was manipulated?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe something was calling him, or maybe it was just instinct, as you say. Karl's eyes narrowed slightly, and he crept along.
In the stairwell, the two magic chandeliers were broken one and a half, the light flickered on and off, and there was a terrifying feeling, Donnie said solemnly and panickedly: "Then let's report to the teacher quickly and let them deal with it as a formal magician." ”
He was referring to the caretaker of the Tower of Life.
In the change of light and shadow, Carl's fair and delicate face was dyed with a hint of gloom: "No. If Sami is just a special sleepwalking caused by a ghost. Then we can deal with it ourselves, calling the teacher will 'scare' him, and if he is really being manipulated, this is the Heidler School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Everywhere is under the control of the Lost Lock. As long as there is a spell fluctuation or other movement. The Lost Lock will immediately have a sense, and when the time comes, the high-level mage guarding the center of the Lost Lock will definitely have time to stop it. ”
After years of development. The necromantic medical field has developed a complete classification of diseases, and has named many common diseases that were previously shrouded in strange colors.
He turned his head to look at Donnie, his silver-purple eyes were a little nervous, but also a little excited, curious, and eager to try: "Don't you want to go on an adventure without any danger......?
The magnetic voice continued to echo in Donnie's heart, although the words were not concise enough, but it seemed to contain some kind of force that was irresistible and irrefutable, and successfully aroused the desire in Donnie's heart, making him subconsciously nod his head and move forward with Carl.
Summoned by what?
Is it the same as me?
Donnie thought to himself, as if he was dominated by Carl, and walked out of the "Tower of Life" together.
Although there is no difference between day and night in the necromantic world, it is always monotonous black, white and gray, but in the mystery of the Heideler School of Magic, there are different changes of light and dark, which is convenient for apprentices who have not yet become official mages to fall asleep smoothly, so after walking out of the "Tower of Life", Donnie only feels that the surroundings are quiet and dark, and the bottom of the huge magic tower is everywhere, and if you look up at the sky, you will see a spider's web-like sky bridge and a dead "sky", no silver moon, and no stars.
The night seemed to be unusually cold in the academy, and the breeze blew, and Donnie couldn't help but shiver, and looked around, but there was not a single shadow of a living thing.
"Don't lose it. Karl reminded him.
Donnie nodded nervously and nervously, clearly hearing a hint of excitement in Carl's voice.
In such silence, coldness and darkness, the three of them bypassed the magic towers and approached the main entrance of the academy one after another.
The entire Heidler College is like a city composed of magic towers, surrounded by tall, strong, and long city walls, and the so-called gate is a gray-white light curtain dozens of meters high and more than ten meters wide, with strange magic patterns flowing on it, filled with a strong atmosphere of death.
Seeing Sammy, with his eyes closed and his facial muscles twisted, stopped in front of the front door, Donnie said half relieved and half confused in the telepathy, "Could it be that Sammy wants to go outside the academy?"
"Probably, maybe, maybe, anyway, we've been following, and we're sure to find something interesting, I'll tell you, once, I took my brother to a tomb in the middle ......of the night," Karl's voice grew more and more uplifted, but his rambling words didn't distract him, and he still stared at Sammy intently.
Donnie said strangely, "Sammy can't get out, the main entrance is closed, what's going to happen? Let's find a way to wake him up, or wait for him to go back to the dormitory?"
As soon as the words fell, his eyes bulged out, and Sami stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on the light curtain of the main entrance, and then, with his palm as the center, there were waves in circles and circles, swallowing him whole.
"Out, out, out......" Donnie stammered, what about the defensive effect of the Lost Lock?
"Keep up, or you won't be able to get through!" Karl ignored him, grabbed his right hand, and rushed towards the slowly shrinking vortex like a magical steam train.
Donnie felt a huge force coming, and he couldn't help but "fly" towards the main entrance, just like being thrown away by a bull when he was a child.
His strength is greater than I thought!
The cold, soaked sensation came, and all the colors in front of Donnie's eyes faded. Only black, white, and foggy gray depict everything.
His pupils reflected the graves, all of which were diagonally inserted with black tombstones in front of the tombs.
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Donnie's heart pounded suddenly, and he once again felt called in his previous nightmares, and his footsteps moved uncontrollably, following Sammy in front of him towards the center of the "Eternal Graveyard".
Dangerous! It is the core of the "Life Return Ritual", and it must be dangerous!
We've gone out of the main gate and entered the Necromantic Realm, and if something happens, the mentors won't have time to come to their rescue!
No, we can't keep up!
Donnie's instinct for survival made him make a quick decision. Shouted loudly. Trying to get the attention of the Academy.
However, his call did not provoke even a single sound, and the silence around him remained deadly still.
This is the Necromantic Realm, and this is the Necromantic Realm that cannot make a sound below the legendary!
He wanted to cast a spell. Make a big move. But under that call. He couldn't concentrate at all, and could only listen in horror as his heartbeat grew faster and faster, watching his footsteps move forward more and more uncontrollably. I feel the desire in my heart getting stronger and stronger.
"Carl, it's dangerous ahead, find a mentor. He tried to remind Carl through psychic communication.
Carl stared intently ahead, smiling nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of, the 'Eternal Graveyard' is part of the Mystery Lock......"
Downey recounted his dream over and over again, but Carl remained unnervous and continued to follow Sammy.
It wasn't until the "familiar" giant tomb appeared in Donnie's eyes that he desperately gave up persuasion and went forward with Carl in obedience to the call and the desire of his heart.
Sammy in front of him entered the half-hidden tomb without pause, while Karl paused slightly and followed as well.
Tomb doors, corridors, floor tiles...... It was exactly the same as in Donnie's "memory", but just around the corner, he was startled and saw a team of mummies wrapped in "gray" strips of cloth coming towards him!
There were no guards in the nightmare before!
Donnie's heart was so fierce that it was beating out of his chest, and a sense of despair arose, you must know that the worst mummy also has the level of a formal knight, and the mummy in front of him has a terrifying atmosphere, and the "strip of cloth" is soaked in grease, which is obviously not an ordinary mummy.
He subconsciously stepped back, and suddenly felt Carl's presence, only to see that his silver-purple eyes became sharp, and his expression was extremely solemn.
yes, he has the power of a dragon and powerful trinkets, so he should be able to stop the mummies, right?
But the group of mummies ignored them, and walked directly past them, without making the slightest movement.
"How could this be?" Donnie muttered to himself suspiciously, the danger just now made him concentrate, prepared a spell, and almost launched an attack on the mummy first, but the mummy didn't seem to see the two of them!
"It's weird. Carl was unusually succinct.
"Yes, it's strange, when did you have a talent for being overlooked?"
"Who!" Donnie was startled again, when was there another person behind him?
The fat man said helplessly: "I came with you......"
Donnie took out the notebook he was carrying, flipped through the records on it (whenever you meet a fat man who is familiar with him, he will be regarded as his roommate Jones), and said with a wry smile: "Next time, don't follow like this without moving." ”
"I didn't......" The fat man was very aggrieved.
"Let's go. The nervousness in Karl's voice was more pronounced, but so was the excitement.
Along the way, they continued to move forward, and along the way, they encountered floating ghosts, dragon lichs with pale flames dancing in their eyes, and strange undead creatures made of countless pieces of flesh, but they all turned a blind eye to Donnie and the others, as if they were in different worlds!
Ahead was the main burial chamber, Donnie wondered, after entering, could there really be that terrifying undead creature, an undead creature made up of countless intelligent beings?
At this stage, he can no longer control his "sense of being called", and Carl and Jones seem to be overwhelmed by curiosity.
Pushing open the door to the main burial chamber, Donnie's pupils suddenly contracted, as Sammy was standing in front of the huge black coffin, facing himself and the others, his eyes closed and a strange smile on his lips.
"Sammy!" Donnie blurted out, but his voice couldn't be heard.
Suddenly, the lid of the coffin behind Sammy was flipped, black gas rose, and the terrifying undead creature of the nightmare reappeared in Donnie's eyes.
Taller than giants, more mysterious than stitched corpses, purer than the necromantic realm...... The undead creature's eyes snapped open, and dark red flames leaped out, and a thick death descended on the world.
Donnie was cold and paralyzed, intuitively sensing that Carl and Jones were doing the same, while Sammy seemed unaffected and threw himself into the coffin.
The burial chamber shook violently, and a pitch-black abyss with no bottom visible appeared under the coffin, as if something indescribable was hidden inside, something difficult to touch.
The pitch black swelled constantly, while the coffin and undead above held it firmly.
What's there?
Donnie's consciousness blurred.
Yes!
Donnie rolled over and sat up, gasping for air, and looked around in horror, alright, still in the dorm!
But his breathing suddenly stopped, because he found that Sammy, Carl, and Jones were all like him, short of breath and covered in cold sweat......!
