Chapter 333: Return
Barrett stood on the edge of the cliff, looking out into the distance.
There is no edge on the left and right sides of the cliff, and it stretches into darkness that even the fire of the soul can't see. Below, it's as deep as an abyss, and if you accidentally fall down, you don't know where you'll go.
The undead form made Barrett's sense of smell very faint, so faint that it could even be said to disappear. This allows our Death Knight to give his all and concentrate as he battles foul-smelling undead creatures such as the Rotten Harbingers and Zombie Dragons.
But Barrett swore that he did smell an extremely strange aura at this time, which seemed to spread from the bottom of the cliff and from afar, and it was difficult to describe in words, and it made him faintly feel uneasy and creepy.
"I don't like it here, big uncle. The little ghost floated not far away, refusing to approach the edge of the cliff, "Let's finish the stone and get out of here." ”
"No problem, listen to you. Barrett withdrew his gaze from the tumbling darkness in the distance, and cautiously walked towards the fifth Void Stone.
At this moment, Barrett suddenly felt a slight movement behind him. He quickly turned around with his sword, and vaguely saw that a small bit of dirt seemed to have slipped off the edge of the cliff he had just stood.
And just as he was staring at it with a frown, another small piece of earth fell and slid into the abyss below the cliff.
You should leave quickly!" Barrett thought subconsciously as she looked at the tiny landslide that could not be detected.
Using the hexagonal crystal box to cover the orange-sized void stone, and then shining the purple eye ring on the little finger on the crystal box, the whole process of collecting was quite smooth, and there were no accidents.
When this Void Stone also disappeared, the surging negative energy instantly filled up like the previous times. But this time it was slightly different from usual, a lot of negative energy seemed to be conscious, and it frantically poured into Barrit's body, making his soul fire even more vigorous, making those two points of blue fluorescence irrepressibly burst out of his eyes.
Barrett didn't feel any discomfort, on the contrary, he found himself in a particularly good state at this time, and he seemed to be more in tune with the Dark Realm.
Could this be some kind of reward that the plane has given him?" Barrett shook his head and smiled wryly. But he didn't want to be an undead, not even after death.
......
Eternal Body, Fortress of the Peaks.
Barrett made his way through the two minotaur death knights who had been guarding the gate at all times, and entered the fortress, which seemed to be much livelier than usual.
Before arriving here, Barrett had traveled to the Forest of Spine and met Calvin, the Storm Dwarf Blacksmith. It's a pity that his two dragon tooth weapons have still not been forged, and according to the time given by Calvin, it will probably take about ten days for the main material plane to be completed.
Barrett couldn't wait for such a long time, and that kind of favor and reward from the suspected dark realm didn't make him extinguish the idea of returning to the main material plane. He planned to pick up the pair of weapons from Calvin's blacksmith the next time he came here.
Anyway, after returning to the main material plane, he didn't lack weapons to use. Whether it's the pair of scimitars, 'Uno's fangs', or the 'Tyrannical Touch' and 'Resonant Tomahawk', he's already used them quite easily. Moreover, the weapons of the Death Knight are not suitable for the living, even if the pair of dragon tooth weapons have been forged, Barrett who has returned to a living state cannot control it.
Not to mention the 'Iron Bride', and Barrett wants to restore this beloved saber as soon as possible. He plans to return to the main material plane this time, and then go to the lower Krees, and ask the little mage how long it will be before he can get out of the underworld.
At this time, there were a lot of death knights gathered in the super large training ground of the Peak Tooth Fortress, and Barrett could feel that his mentor, Ace Renee, was also in this training ground.
This is a new ability that his soul fire has gained after being strengthened - for the more familiar undead, he can vaguely perceive the location of the other party within a certain range.
To be honest, this ability is actually not very strong, and many high-level undead are born with it. But Barrett doesn't care, it's for nothing anyway, and it doesn't hurt.
In the third field of the training ground, Ace Renee was sitting on a high platform far away, looking at the battle in the middle of the field with her legs crossed.
A death knight with a sword and shield in his hand is fighting a skeletal warrior with two scythes and agility, and the two sides are so hard to see who will win.
Barrett walked over to Ace Renee and sat down.
"Where have you been all this time?" his mentor asked, a little dissatisfied.
"Where else can I go, running around doing tasks. Barrett explained, "I'm here to accomplish those tasks. ”
"You can do it at any time, but you're missing out on a once-in-a-century show. Ace Renee said with some excitement, "This is not an exaggeration, even in the Dark Realm, there are very few large-scale wars of that scale. It's a rare and interesting thing to happen in this boring place. ”
"War, what war?" Barrett was puzzled.
"Attack the castle of the Great Lich Kilwinter!" Ace Renee punched Barrett in the chest, although not very hard, Barrett still felt a little uncomfortable, "There are many forces that have sent reinforcements to support Kilwinter in advance, and we are fighting them quite fiercely. Of course, the end result was definitely that we won. I wanted to take you to the battlefield to see the world, but unfortunately you weren't in the fortress at the time. ”
"Kilwinter......? In fact, I also contributed. Barrett touched his slightly sunken armor, "Did you know that he has a large zombie dragon mount, and that zombie dragon was killed by me and a mage named Cyril?" Truth be told, the zombie dragon was huge, and I ...... "Barrett wanted to boast about his irreplaceable role in that fight."
"Big? The female death knight made a disdainful voice, "Then you haven't seen the undead Beamon released from the castle's magic barrier after we broke through it, our death titan that is more than ten meters tall is only up to the shoulder of the undead Beamon, just like a child." ”
"Then it must have caused you a lot of trouble. Barrett imagined in her mind the enormous figure of the undead Beamon.
"It's not that much of a problem, actually. Ace Renee said in a relaxed tone, "After all, Kilwinter was wiped out before he fled back to his castle. And when he returned to the Lich's life box, he could no longer fully control the undead Beamon. And his castle stewards, though they were able to release the behemoth, were equally unable to control it. So, the undead Beamon was finally controlled by the mages on our side, maybe it was the Dominic mage himself, maybe it was other mages, who knows, anyway, now the undead Beamon is ours. ”
"That's good news!" Barrett agreed. Although he is not affiliated with the Magic Association, he is happy to see the Association grow stronger.
"By the way, how are you doing with those tasks?" asked Ace Renee.
"It's pretty much the same. Barrett replied, "This time I am going to say goodbye to you, and I am going to go back for the time being." ”
"Are you going back to the main physical plane? The dual-wielding scythe-wielding Skeleton Warrior has gradually gained the upper hand, pressing the Death Knight with a sword and shield in his hand, and this Skeleton Warrior should have been quite a powerful guy in his lifetime.
"Of course I'll be back, but I'm not sure when it will be. ”
