Chapter 122: The Corona of the Sun
As if passing through a thick curtain of gloom and coldness of formless tranquility, Lucien heard a "thump" and then slammed his body into a hard object.
This was the first sound Lucien heard after entering the Lost World, and it was so "kind" that it made his ears ring.
Worried that the two ghouls were still following him, Lucien, who was violently dizzy, did not hesitate, moonlit and changed direction and rolled on the ground a few times, before swinging his long sword and suddenly turning and jumping.
The sword didn't hit anything, it was a wide corridor, although it was still gray-black walls, pale carpet, and no other colors, but it seemed to be much softer and more vivid than the outside, no longer like a frozen black and white photograph, and even a little warmth could be felt.
The two ghouls pounced on Lucien and fell to the ground struggling to get up, as if they weren't quite comfortable with the shaking of the "Veil" and the somewhat oppressive environment of the undead here.
How could Lucien let go of this opportunity, taking a few steps forward, the "Vigilance" longsword flashed with pale cold light and slashed at the ghoul that had been hit by the "Ice Flying Blade", aiming at the deep wound in its neck.
The sword made a dull sound as if it had struck countless layers of wood wrapped in animal skins, but the ghoul's neck had been cut in half under two successive blows, and its head was shaky, as if it might fall off at any moment.
As soon as Lucien raised his left hand, the sulfur was scattered, and he cast a spell directly without a curse, and his spiritual power was immediately drained by half, and a miserable white wall of fire isolated the other ghoul beside him.
Then, taking advantage of the fact that the ghoul in front of him was shaky from the heavy blow just now, Lucien adjusted his position in a broken step, and the longsword continued to slash at his neck wound.
After three hits, there was a "snap", and the ghoul's head finally separated from its body, and it fell to the ground with a sticky and disgusting black corpse fluid. The headless body swung its claws forward a few times, and then fell apart completely.
This type of undead is not like spirit-like ghosts such as wraiths and ghosts, and physical damage to physical connections can "quiet" them.
After taking out the ghoul, Lucien endured a feeling of nausea and slight paralysis. Run to the front of the hallway, distance yourself from the ghoul behind the wall of fire, and start fighting it.
With a little speed and magic, it took Lucian a few minutes to shatter its skull. Let the rotting brain tissue splatter onto the walls on either side.
"If it's a full-fledged knight, I probably won't be able to kill any of them, and if I don't have intelligence, I don't have intelligence. Lucien was wounded at the hands of the "little girl" spirit. But before he could heal himself, he fought with the ghoul and ran wildly for a long time, and at this time he was panting for breath and hurried to recover, "But the effect of Palmeira's Ice Blade will not be so bad......"
After resting for a few minutes, and recovering most of his level with the help of the "Moonlight Bloodline", Lucien walked over to the remains of the two ghouls, resisted the disgusting rancid stench, and peeled off the skin of their palms with his vigilant sword.
This is the casting material for the two-ring magic "Ghoul Touch". How could Lucien be wasted. Although this must be done by touching the other person, it can still be very useful for special occasions.
The "Wall of Sulphur Fire" reappeared, completely incinerating the remains of the two ghouls, and Lucien clenched his sword and cautiously made his way down the hallway.
Pale carpet. The gray-black walls, the seemingly endless corridor, and the faint echo of footsteps always gave Lucien the illusion of walking in the tomb.
The feeling of warmth became stronger and stronger, and a black gate appeared in front of it, on which was still engraved a special, incomplete twelve-pointed star magic array, which was also one of the basic magic arrays of the "Great Cross Star Shelf".
Lucien took out another tube of mercury and concentrated on completing the magic array.
As if absorbing all the darkness emerged, the door slowly opened to both sides, and inside was a richly decorated hall, with a pale flame burning in the fireplace by the wall, exuding a little warmth.
By the window of the hall there was a gray-white desk with a black notebook on it, and outside the window, you could see all kinds of strange magical plants, some with baby faces, some with bloody mouths from time to time, and some dazzling like the sun......
After observing the terrain and making sure that the magic garden could be entered from the small black door five meters to the left of the desk, Lucien slowly walked towards the desk, concentrating on finding magic traps along the way.
Nothing changed, and Lucien reached his desk without incident, and then flipped the black notebook to the first page with his vigilant sword.
The pale parchment was written in dark ancient Magic Empire script:
"Moonlight Rose in Room 1 Storage Cabinet 25,
Alzelaminomycin in Room 1 No. 72,
The rhizome and sap of the giant thorn tree are located in Room 1, Room 99, and Room 2, Room 3, respectively.
Vampire's blood in room 3 number 21,
Banshee's teeth in room 3 46,
......
The leaves of the grimace grass are in room 7 17,
The feathers of the petrified snake are in room 7 92,
The moon of the 'shepherd' is spent in room 8, room 8,
Foul-smelling fish-man lymph in room 9 1,
............
There were pages full of similar entries, and Lucien thought it was a record of material storage, but found that compared to the eight hundred and eighty-one storage cabinets in nine rooms, there were only a small number of records, and these materials were actually usable by themselves!
There are those who refine the "Silver Moon Elixir", those who refine the "Magic Gate" potion, and those who refine the "Weeping Soul" potion......
"Seems to have been written specifically for me?!"
Lucien thought to himself, as if a picture appeared in front of him, nearly a thousand years ago, in this black, white and gray room, there was an old man with pale hair holding a quill, rustling on a note with a strange smile.
After flipping through the pages where the materials were stored, there were a lot of blank spaces in the notes, often with only one sentence on a page, black words, and a pale background, which shocked Lucien to see.
"When I was conducting that 'experiment', I stumbled upon this strange world, which not only completely overlapped with the main physical world, but also projected the non-living things of the main world in a chaotic and vague and irregular way, which was really an interesting world. ”
......
"There were a few explorations. It is certain that this is a world realm that is very suitable for undead creatures such as ghosts and ghosts, and it is so quiet, so monotonous. Eternal black, white, and gray will drive the living completely insane. ”
"Compared to the Bone Wasteland on the 123rd Layer of the Abyss, and the Hell that is either filled with sulfur flames or cold and biting, this eternal and unchanging Silent World is more like a realm where the dead sleep. Allow me to name it 'Necromancy'. ”
"Some guys seem to have discovered this place as ......"
......
"In the depths of the necromantic realm, I found an interesting and dangerous place with an astonishing connection to the 'experiment' that several of us were concentrating on. I'll have to invite some of my old friends to explore, and maybe I'll be able to unlock that eternal secret. ”
"As I was about to set off, I suddenly felt a strong sense of unease, so I made a prophecy at great cost. ”
"Friend who has seen my notes, allow me to call you 'the unbeliever who walks between light and darkness,' presumably who got my Book of Astrology and the Elements, and came here following the records of poetry and manuscripts. ”
"I'm probably still tied up there and not completely dead. But I don't expect you to come to save me, but when you enter the realm of legends, I'm afraid you will still be attracted to the place that hides countless secrets, so please let me go by the way. ”
"Actually, even if you want to come now, I would advise you not to go deep into the necromantic realm. Because there are many powerful undead creatures, even high-level magicians and archmages can be very dangerous, and the place I am talking about is unanimously considered by several old friends to be a 'forbidden area belonging to legends'. Hehe, I still remember the 'kind' faces of several ancient mummies when I found it there. ”
"In the drawer to the left of the desk is a nice Morning Crystal Ball, and in the drawer to the right is the magic item 'Corona of the Sun' that I made, which can help you sense the gaps between the main material realm and the necromantic realm in the middle of the night, which are small but spread across the continent. ”
"There are five layers of seals in the Crown of the Sun, which can be unlocked when you become a full-fledged mage, mid-level mage, high-level mage, archmage, and legendary mage. And every time you break a seal, you'll be able to use the corresponding magic. After the last layer of the seal is unsealed, there will be the pattern of the coordinate transformation of the mysterious place that I recorded. ”
"Well, my friend, when you see this notebook, you will have an hour of safety, after which it will crumble, the locks will break, and you can exit through the small door that leads to the enchanted garden. ”
"Remember, keep moving forward and don't look back!"
"Finally, please allow me to say more, I seem to have predicted that you will be in great danger, it is best to improve your strength before leaving, the alchemy room is room 10. ”
"Your friend, Waldo the 'Prophet'? K. Maskerin"
After reading it, Lucien sincerely felt that this master of the legendary profession "Prophet" was really powerful, although it was not precise and meticulous, but he still predicted a lot of things.
According to the prophet's message, Lucien opened the drawer on the left and unexpectedly found a fist-sized crystal ball, which was crystal transparent, shining bright but not dazzling, which was a necessary item for the early use of astrology, and also an auxiliary item for many astrological magic.
Retracting the "Morning Light Crystal Ball", Lucien opened the drawer on the right again, and saw a round amulet the size of an ordinary badge, pale gold and engraved with a crown-like sun ray, and in the center of the "Corona of the Sun" amulet, it was a cross that Lucian was very familiar with.
Pick up the parchment next to the Corona of the Sun, on which is a model of its structure, how to leave a spiritual imprint, and a description of its main abilities.
"The Crown of the Sun, a ninth-level mid-tier magic item, with five layers of seals that have not yet been unlocked, and magic that can be used once a day includes:
Ring 1, Holy Light Strike (sealed), Ring 2, Resistance to the Undead (sealed), Ring 3, Scorching Light (sealed), Ring 4, Death Barrier (sealed), Ring 5, Flame Strike (sealed), Ring 6, Return to the Immortal (sealed), Ring 7, Ashes (sealed), Ring 8, Sun Burst (sealed), Ring 9, Undead Predator (sealed). ”
"When you wear the Corona, you will have a constant ability to transcend the undead (depending on the condition of breaking the seal), and will be able to sense the gap between the Lord's realm and the necromantic realm when the solar power is at its weakest. ”
"It's a well-deserved undead nemesis
- Waldo? K. Maskerin"
Lucien looked at this parchment, the whole person seemed to be petrified, although he had little communication with the priest and the bishop, but he also knew a lot of magic with Natasha, and he once used the Holy Emblem of Truth:
"These are obviously magic spells!What did Muskeling say was a magic item that he had made himself?"
"The cross in the center of the corona, the Great Cross, the Cult of Truth cross?"
"What the hell is going on?!" (To be continued.) )
