Chapter 291: Hunting in the Dark
This quest also requires the collection of three Void Stones, and in addition to this, Barrett has taken on two other quests, but he doesn't have a clue yet.
"I take the liberty of asking, what exactly do you mages want to do when collecting such dangerous things?" Barrett had asked the curly-haired mage Ben Issu before taking on this task, "Well, I don't mean anything else, if you can't tell it, forget it." I was just...... Well, to be honest, after listening to your description of that thing, it is inevitable that there will be some concerns in everyone......"
"Oh, there's so much to worry about. The curly-haired mage smiled and shook his head, "If you know what the previous Magic Empires collected and made in the multiverse to win the 'War of Faith', you will not sleep well for the rest of your life, and if you learn about the horrors that are held in the 'plane prisons' that are locked down by layers, you may allow yourself to be shrouded in fear forever." Something — I can't call those guys creatures — and even the simple repetition of its name can make you instantly insane. ”
When the mage said these horrors, his tone was lighthearted as if he were telling a joke, "Believe me, many of those horrible things and things still exist today. If one escapes from the 'Plane Prison'......"
"Why don't you wipe out all those horrible things?" Barrett asked again, frowning at the time.
"Some guys don't have any way to eliminate it for the time being, including the 'Void Stone', they are the embodiment of some disordered rules of the multiverse itself, and some guys still have the value of studying, although they are dangerous, but they are also an alternative 'treasure', and there are some guys, although they have a way to destroy them, and they have been thoroughly studied, but the chain reaction and consequences caused by the elimination will be more serious than if it escapes......"
The mage paused dramatically, observing the expression on Barrett's face. When he found that the latter did not show the slightest hint of panic, he added, "Don't worry, the Guild has taken the 'set of keys' from the hands of the Empire and locked them up properly." Otherwise, not only you, but the monarchs of the whole continent will have trouble sleeping. ”
"They all know it?"
"Of course, how could I tell you so casually? It's not a secret, it's written about by the older nobles. "So I'll tell you, don't worry about the Void Stone, it doesn't move, it's very stable, and its existence is like a small stone produced by the plane. Compared to those things, its danger is not much different from that of the big sister next door. Is the big sister next door dangerous? Of course, for many little boys who don't have any hair, it's really a 'scary' existence, you know what I mean. He smiled narrowly.
......
Away from the skeletal guard he had encountered by chance, Barrett stepped onto his mount and continued to search the endless darkness with the little ghost.
The nightmare beast mount under his crotch was the old fellow 'Carrot'. Barrett was also very concerned about whether Carrot would be able to ride in the Dark Realm, and even wanted to rent a skeleton horse from the quartermaster of Eternal Body.
After all, Nightmare Beasts are extraterrestrial creatures, and they have real life, which is what the negative energy plane hates and covets the most.
But after arriving at the Dark Realm, Barrett found that the blazing flames on the Carrot's body had inexplicably turned into a kind of green flame, like a graveyard ghost fire, and this green flame could be like a 'negative energy protection' spell, ensuring that it would not be robbed of its life by the greedy Dark Realm, and could gallop here.
Barrett had vaguely heard that the Nightmare Beast species actually had many sub-clans, and each sub-clan seemed to have different abilities. Some Nightmarmon have the ability to fly in the air, while others can carry their riders on their backs to travel between planes.
These powerful abilities, Barrett has not seen them on the 'carrot' for the time being, but this bloodline acquired guy has a very good adaptability to the characteristics of the plane, and I don't know if there are other forms after changing to other planes.
Barrett had not been far away on the Nightmare Beast when the sound of wings flapping could be heard in the air. The voice drew closer, and a black constructed raven followed and hovered around him like a ghost.
Death Knight Barrett took the reins, slowing the Nightmare Beast in his crotch. After that, the constructed raven in the air swooped down and landed steadily on his shoulder.
"Enemy!" Raven reported to Barrett, "right, enemy!"
"Very good, let's go and see. Barrett commanded.
Each enemy symbolizes a little soul energy, and along the way, he has barely spared any undead who are not from his own camp, even if it is a few skeleton soldiers with missing arms and legs, he has not let go.
However, that doesn't mean Barrett has taken out a lot of undead along the way. Because the realm of darkness seems to be boundless, and there is no end in sight. Although the number of undead in it is numerous and varied, it is quite sparse compared to the entire plane, so Barrett does not want to let go of any of them.
Regarding the Dark Realm, Master Ben Issu once said, "No one can clearly know how big it is (the Dark Realm). During the Magic Empire, there was a curious mage who flew in a certain direction for nearly a hundred years, but still didn't see the edge. During his long journey, the mage of the Necromantic faction encountered many unbelievable things and left a large number of marks. But the once vigorous curiosity has gradually been worn out. Eventually, the mage got bored with the journey, so he stopped his exploration and went back to write a travel notebook called "I Came, I Saw", which you would like to read? It's a bit expensive, but it's worth it and will help you in your quest in the Dark Realm. ”
The book is still lying in Barrett's Spatial Ring, and the mage named 'Harold' is very interesting to write, especially since his book records a lot of conscious undead spirits, and the contents of visiting and talking to these undead in their dwellings. Barrett has seen about a third of it.
The constructed raven on his shoulder flew into the air again, and Barrett turned his horse's head and followed. The little ghost Eve was by his side, and the pattern of her dress changed from the past to a small bone beast that was exactly the same as the one she had seen before.
It can be seen that this little girl in the form of a spirit still has some thoughts about the little bone beast just now.
For spirits that can change their appearance at will, the clothes they wear are actually part of their bodies, but most of them are conjured up according to their memories before they were born.
"You're running too fast, big uncle, I can't even keep up!" the little ghost shouted to Barrett diagonally behind.
"You can go back to the trinket first, and then come out after you get to the place. Barrett turned her head in reply, but didn't intend to slow down.
Eve is very naughty, and Barrett doesn't want to follow her all the time.
"I don't. The little ghost pouted, and it seemed that he didn't want to go back for the time being. Then she turned back to the galloping Nightmare Beast and shouted, "Hey, Carrot, slow down!"
Before Barrett could say anything, the Nightmare Beast in his crotch automatically slowed down. Our Death Knight kicked his mount with the heel of his metal boot in a frustrated manner, but he couldn't get the Nightmare Beast to speed up again.
This grumpy guy gets along very well with Eve, and listens to the little ghost, and I don't know why.
The green flames on Carrot's body danced backwards as they galloped, striking out in the dark plane. After passing over a barren gravel field and jumping over a giant leg bone lying across the road, Barrett finally saw the enemy's tracks.
It was a dark gray sphere floating in the air, about two meters in diameter. The entire surface of the sphere is covered with many slender tendrils, as well as a pair of long, narrow organs that resemble eyes.
It was a 'negative energy spirit', and Barrett recognized it, a very mysterious energy body. In that book, "I Came, I See," Master Harold wrote about this creature.
According to the mage, the 'Negative Energy Spirits' are creatures that are not native to the Negative Energy Plane, but they live extensively in the Dark Realm. On the contrary, the twins in the positive energy plane, there are also almost exactly similar creatures to this kind of creatures, but such creatures in the positive energy plane are covered in bright silver.
These two strange energy creatures seem to be conscious, but no one, or undead, or anything else can communicate with them.
Unfortunately, this creature was not the target of Barrett's hunt, as it did not belong to the undead.
He beckoned to the constructed raven to land, "No, not that kind of enemy. "We're looking for the undead, like skeletons, zombies, vampires, and so on. ”
The constructed raven flapped its wings, "bones!" and retorted loudly, "lots of bones!"
Well, it looks like it's not the guy in front of it. Barrett pulls out a handful of corn and feeds it to the Construct Raven to stop it from making noise.
When the raven had finished eating the corn in his hand, Barrett commanded, "Lead the way, and let me see what the bones you have found are." ”
