Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hell
Running wildly, they came to a clearing in the forest, and the plants that had been chasing the two of them stayed around the clearing as if they were afraid. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Salian said to Teresa.
"I guess there's something here that they're afraid of, or maybe the controller of these plants is here, I don't know if it's the former or the latter?"
"It's supposed to be the latter, you see there. ”
Salian looked in the direction Teresa was pointing, and saw a small, inconspicuous hole in the ground, exuding a terrifying aura. Salian slowly leaned over with his sword in hand, and looked down from above the entrance to the cave, which was unfathomable and unfathomable, unable to find out what was lurking.
"I think the necromantic aura here is far greater than the surroundings, according to Master Gulundal, this characteristic is the core of the regular Hell Forest, and the flower stem you are looking for is here!"
Salian thought it was probably not them who had stumbled into this place by mistake, but that the plants had deliberately lured them in. This bizarre world is full of unpredictability.
While Salian was still thinking about the relationship between man and nature, the anomaly came to say, and out of that small hole came a vine that looked very small compared to the previous ones, and its tip carried several blooming flowers, the largest and most gorgeous of which actually had a huge eye on the stamen, and a mouthpart full of fangs under it. Even more terrifying is the sound that humans can understand coming from this organ.
"Hahahaha, it turned out to be two living humans, you guys are not small, do you know where this is?"
Salian replied honestly, "I really don't know, may I ask where this is?"
The strange plant, perhaps not intellectually sufficient, followed Salian's words, "This is the wasteland prison of hell. ”
"Oh, I've heard that the Wasteland Prison is the second level of Hell, I don't know, right?"
"Yes, it's dominated by empty wasteland hills and forests. Hehe, humans, how did you get here?"
Teresa, who was also honest, pointed to the ring on her hand and said, "That's what I used to do." ”
Even Salian could feel the plant monster's suddenly excited expression, and the trees around him danced wildly.
"Isn't this ring Gurundal's, how can it be in your hand!?"
Salian seemed to understand something, and he said first.
"This young lady in front of you is a close disciple of Master Gulundal, and this ring was passed down to her by the master. ”
At this time, the terrifying plant with an imposing momentum said in a deferential tone: "This little girl, how is Master Gulundal?"
It was still Salian who spoke.
"The Master has been dead for some reason for a long time. ”
"What, the Necromantic Archmage would actually die, this is impossible!"
"That's the truth, don't believe you can ask his disciples. ”
After questioning Salian with psychic magic, Teresa finally had a chance to speak.
"Indeed, Mr. Vine. ”
"Oh! he's dead, so I waited so long and he didn't come back. But I can't trust you with the ring alone. Little girl, if you can't come up with evidence that you are a disciple of Master Gulundal, I will slowly digest you while you are alive, this kind of pain is unbearable for anyone!"
"Haha, dear Teresa, show your hands to the vine dude. ”
"Hmph, my name is Vigri, and I'm the wisest of the vines of hell! ”
"Oh, then the wisest of all Vigri, please make sure. ”
Salian motioned for Teresa, who had just been transmitted to him, to begin. Then our beautiful witch used a rare spell she had learned from the magic crystal, and she drew an unknown symbol in the air with her beautiful fingertips, and then the necromantic mana in the surrounding space was continuously absorbed by Teresa's body, and Vigli watched it all with a terrifying one-eyed eye.
After a few minutes, even Salian, who was close at hand, couldn't sense Teresa's breath, and her entire body was completely lichified!
"Mr. Vigri, what do you think, although this is not a great ability, it should only be used by the Gurendal faction!?"
"Hehe, I saw him use this skill to hide his identity in hell, okay, I will admit for the time being that you are a disciple of Gulundal, but did the master explain anything to you before he died?"
A person whose life was hundreds of years apart certainly wouldn't give Teresa anything.
"No, Mr. Vigri. Teresa replied honestly.
"Why, he told me when he stayed here that he would help me fulfill my wish! So I have never left this place for all these years, guarding the secret treasure for him. ”
Hearing the word Secret Treasure, Salian's eyes lit up, and he said to the hellvines in front of him after Miss Teresa withdrew her magic.
"Oh, good friend Vigri, since we are the heirs of Master Gurundal, it is also appropriate to help his friends. Tell me about your relationship with the master, what did he promise you?"
"Oh, many years ago, when I was a seed, I was discovered by Master Gulundal who came to the Wasteland Prison to conduct some magical research, he is a necromancer who can travel to and from the first three levels of Hell as he pleases, little girl, this ring in your hand is the key he made to facilitate access to the second layer. ”
Salian looked at the ring and felt that he had good luck today. He may never know that this little thing is actually a gift of death from the femme fatale, and the world is really impermanent!
At this point, the mouthpiece was heard to continue.
"Later, he found out that the environment here is very good, so he set out to build a secret laboratory, and in order to protect the things placed in it, he needs guards, so he planted me here, and used powerful necromancy to greatly increase my growth rate, according to you humans, it takes a thousand years for our hell vines to grow to level seven, and as a result, I have reached such heights in just a few years, hahahaha!"
Salian and Teresa were both very surprised, the seventh-level monster was equivalent to a powerhouse of the Sword Saint level, and Master Gurendal's ability was really terrifying. But Salian, who was most concerned about the treasure, didn't know yet, so he asked.
"So what exactly are you protecting?"
"Master Gurendal is here to study forbidden magic, such as summoning the souls of the dead, or species synthesis, and he has hidden important experimental materials and experiences here. And he promised me a chance to take me to the main material plane for a long insight. ”
Hearing that he could summon the spirits of the dead, Salian could not hide his excitement, and he asked in the most cordial voice.
"I would like to ask, can the technology hidden here really succeed in summoning souls?"
"Hehe, I've seen Master Gurendal complete the summoning experiment with my own eyes!"
Salian had made up his mind, and he would not give up this rare opportunity to give life to the girl who died for him.
"Since this Miss Teresa is a disciple of Master Gulundal, then she has the right to inherit the master's inheritance, and of course, the master's obligations will also be inherited, and we will do what he promised you!"
"Salian, so you want to get this secret base!" Miss Teresa uses psychic magic to communicate with her employer, and Salian smiles at her.
At the same time, the clever plant was seriously considering Salian's words. Seeing this, Salian continued to attack.
"You are a well-known wise man in hell, and you must have heard of our Tutonian way of doing things. First of all, Gurundal is also a Tutonian, and what about me,...... Hehe, although it is a bit arrogant to say this, but I am actually the great prince of the Tutonian National Divine Grace Empire. Since the owner of the research facility is a Tutonian, I have a legal duty to protect the property of my own people. Secondly, Gurendal has passed away, and since there is no heir by blood, his property is supposed to be held in the hands of the state. But according to the common practice of the Empire, Miss Teresa is his disciple, and I can recognize the legitimacy of her inheritance. To sum up, it is perfectly reasonable and legal for Miss Teresa and me to accept it here!"
"What you said seems to make a lot of sense, since I'm a wise man, of course I understand, hahahaha!"
Salian felt that the strange flower's tone of voice was a little dark.
"And your wishes, to be honest, I can completely ignore them. But I am merciful by nature and willing to help you, but you must obey me as you obey Gurundal. ”
Salian's confident words convinced the "wise man".
"Human, I'll trust you for the time being, but don't go back on your word!"
"I vouch for the nobility of Tutonia. ”
"Well, Master Gulundal told me that the most important thing for your nation is reputation. ”
Teresa was surprised to find that Salian had subdued another subordinate with one mouth, and after staying by his side for so long, the simple Miss Magician also understood his employer a little, and became more and more aware of his patriotic personality!
"My name is Salian, and I'm the Earl of the Divine Grace Empire, and you can call me as you please. ”
At this point, Salian found that the surrounding area had reverted back to a "normal" forest, even though the plants were non-existent on the main plane.
"Come with me, I agree with you to enter the master's secret base, but it's up to you whether you can get the secret treasure or not. ”
With that, a dark passage suddenly appeared in the forest, and the two of them followed Vigli inside, the strange flower that could walk freely with his hard roots. After a straight journey, the secret passage turned downhill, and they continued silently until they came to the bottom of the wasteland. Soon, a small hexagonal clearing appeared in front of Salian's eyes, and the plant motioned for them to follow him to it.
