Chapter 142: Finding the Lich
Three days later, a living man finally came to Benjamin's room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jack took off his hat and gave Benjamin a very gentlemanly salute.
"You've been waiting for a long time, how have you been with me these past few days?"
Benjamin glanced at Jack with a non-smirk, "It's okay, it would be better if Daphne was by my side." ”
Jack smiled vaguely, "Don't be anxious, as long as we succeed, your cute little princess will definitely be able to return to you." Jack lowered his brows, as if inadvertently mentioning, "By the way, don't you have another girl with you these days?"
Sure enough, Benjamin had already guessed that the man might be using magic or some kind of magic instrument to spy on him.
He graciously pulled Nana out of his pocket.
"He's my pet. ”
Benjamin explained calmly.
"I see, it seems that I am overthinking. Jack quickly changed the subject, but his eyes remained on Nana.
"In that case, let's go. Benjamin put Nana back on, and then said as if he didn't understand.
"Alright," Jack quickly put his mind to it, pulling out a worn-out map from his bosom. "This is the map to find the lich, probably two months ago. The lichs are cunning, they move every few months. ”
Benjamin nodded slightly, "Didn't you say yesterday that you would ignore them?
"Ahem," Jack seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing, "I don't bother with them though. But just in case, I can't ignore it!"
"I see. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and together they walked to a fireplace.
"Floo powder?" Benjamin blurted out subconsciously as he looked at the fireplace. He wondered, could he borrow this Floo powder and fly straight home?
Jack seemed to see through his thoughts, "That's right, it's through Floo Powder." But once you get out of here, you can only get to the outside of the pyramids. ”
Benjamin nodded in disappointment.
After a whirlwind, Benjamin and Jack landed on the sun-scorched ground.
Benjamin patted his butts, worried that they were burned.
"It's not your average heat. Benjamin wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Hey, Africa, that's all. You Europeans certainly don't understand. Jack explained with a grin.
"You don't look like an African," said Jack, who was walking ahead with a map, and Benjamin following behind, in the mood for small talk. "And I've heard that your pyramid here seems to have popped up during this time. ”
Jack's footsteps didn't pause in the slightest, as if Benjamin's questions were all in his expectation. "Yes, I'm not an African. My mother was a Lithuanian witch, and I heard she was a beautiful woman, but she died the day I was born. My father was a native of Egypt. ”
Jack paused, "As for the pyramids you mentioned, I've actually been enchanting them all along. That day was exposed because someone destroyed the magic array. ”
"I see. Benjamin believed it almost without much thought, and in his opinion, Jack had no need to deceive him on this.
Passing through the endless desert, the scarce poplar forests are no longer visible, only the loess in the sky.
and bones that are turned out after an occasional gust of wind blows.
Benjamin picked up a bone and played with it in his hand, "You've got a lot of materials here." ”
As an insider, Jack certainly understood Benjamin's words. He smiled and explained helplessly, "A lot is a lot, but it's not very useful. I like fresh corpses, and when people die here, they don't take long to become dried corpses. ”
"Isn't it possible to mummify corpses?" there was no such thing as a mummy in Benjamin's world, so he was curious.
"Yes, except that I don't mummify either. It didn't seem to have anything to do with the method that the gentleman taught me. ”
By the time Benjamin was dying of thirst, a green color finally appeared in front of their eyes.
Isn't that an oasis?
When Benjamin tried to rush over, he was stopped by Jack.
"Wait a minute. ”
He suddenly drew his wand, and after a long chant of incantations, a black magic circle appeared at his feet.
Dozens of skeletons in rudimentary armor walked out of the magic circle.
They waved the long knives in their hands and slowly walked towards the magic circle.
"Are these the skeletons you summoned?" said Benjamin, pointing to the skeletons that were dangling as they walked.
"Yes, it's better to let them find their way. These lichs are so shrewd, who knows if it's their trap. ”
As soon as Jack's words fell, the oasis had really changed.
The oasis turned out to be a place of bones.
And the skeletons that walked into the oasis were also reduced to pieces.
"Sure enough, it's a trap. Jack stroked his beard, "Young man, if I hadn't reminded you, you'd probably be dead by now." ”
"But," Benjamin shook his head to sober himself up a bit, "we shouldn't be far from where those lichs live, right?"
Jack nodded, "yes, they should be just up ahead." ”
He thought for a moment, and then said to Benjamin, "When the time comes to see the lich, don't be scared to death. ”
Hehe.
The two of them circumvented the trap and finally stopped in front of a stone tablet.
On the stele was text that Benjamin couldn't read.
"This is the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. Jack stroked the stele and said very seriously, "It's just that I can only guess based on this stele." ”
Benjamin asked suspiciously, "This stele looks quite eye-catching." When you see a stone monument in the middle of nowhere, most people will be attracted to it, right? You say, could this be a trap?"
However, Jack shook his head, "This can't be a trap, I've learned before, these lichs will set up a stone monument where they live, and then let the place where they live be invisible." ”
"Similar to a magic circle?" Benjamin thought for a moment, stroking his beardless chin.
"Almost," Jack quickly agreed, pulling a wand from his bosom, "I know what to do." ”
