"The undead, the devil told you to beware of the undead and his minions in the tunnels?"

In the command room, two crystal lanterns were placed on a rough round table, and the light of green sedge butter candles illuminated a dimly lit space. Key members of Randall's Expeditionary Force and the halfling brothers all sat around the table, listening to Emerson describe his conversation with the Resurrection of the Old Gods. When the wizard finished speaking, Dane, dressed in a priest's robe, was the first to ask.

Emerson uses his most powerful sorcery talent to communicate with the Lord of Sorrow, and his magic and energy are enormous. Fortunately, he rested all night, and there were two beautiful and flower-like pet concubines to serve him carefully, he is now ruddy, full of energy, and the most important thing is that this incredible experience has broadened his horizons, but also improved his self-confidence, the whole person's temperament has become deep and calm, and the previous sensitive and inferior and somewhat obscene hunting manager is simply like two people.

In the face of everyone's focused gaze, Imerson also took it with poise, and he explained clearly: "My consciousness communication with the Lord of Sorrow transcends the realm of words, and the message He has conveyed to me is, according to my understanding, a transcendent being that cannot be killed by ordinary means and will not die naturally, I call it the 'undead', but this does not mean that the 'undead' is the undead that we are currently encountering." ”

Speaking of this, the wizard paused, frowned and pondered for a moment, then continued, "What exactly is an undead? However, the Lords of Sorrow are jealous of His appearance, and they are supposed to be transcendent beings of the same level. ”

Although Dane had been friends with Emerson before, he always despised him in his heart, but now he can deeply understand the irreplaceable role and powerful extraordinary power of the other party, so he said in an equal tone: "As early as fifteen hundred years ago, the golden paladin of the church once came to the Assyrian Empire, that is, the Azores, and that highness not only dealt with the evil gods that the Assyrians believed, but also knew some information about the Ant-Man monster. There is a record of the Ant-Man Empress in his biography, and the Assyrians called the Ant-Man Empress immortal...... That monster controls the entire Ant-Man race, and the Assyrian Empire has destroyed his own body, but that has no effect, and his will can come to any Ant-Man...... Therefore, the Assyrian Empire called the Ant-Man Empress 'the undead'. ”

The experience of Trigovar's ancestor was unknown to most of the people present, and Nelson, who had heard the secret for the first time, stared at Victor with wide eyes and asked in surprise: "My lord, how did the tunnel of the Ant-Man monster appear under the ruins of the Assyrian temple? The Ant-Man Empress also wants the elven relics guarded by the Black Blood Master? If the Ant-Man has not succeeded so far, does this mean that the Black Blood Lord and the Lord of Sorrow are even more powerful than the Ant-Man army?"

Hearing Nelson say this, everyone looked worried, but Victor smiled disapprovingly, turned to the two halfling adventurers and asked, "According to your opinion, what is the life level of the Lord of Sorrow?"

Bobo and Tian Tian glanced at each other, raised their little heads, and said unconvincedly, "Ninth Order Demigod?"

These two halflings belong to the upper class in Silver Eagle City, but they are too young after all, otherwise they would not have recklessly run out to find the elven holy relics, and compared to the elven imperial capital Elanta, Silver Eagle City can only be regarded as a remote countryside. The aristocratic children of Silver Eagle City also seem to have a superficial and arrogant problem, half-understanding and showmanship.

The level of the sacred realm of the human kingdom refers to the legend in general, which is a general concept with very strong political implications. At the beginning, the sword saint Draven killed the ogre king Vulcan, and did what the Pope failed to do, and the church officially called Draven the powerhouse of the Sanctuary. By elevating Draven and proposing the Pope as a Holy Spirit pastor, the church is actually using Dravin's prestige to save His Majesty's reputation.

Sacred powerhouses are uncommon, but the papal lineage has been passed down from generation to generation. That's why the power of the Spirit Knight is unmatched, and Sylvia is only known as the Legendary Knight.

Originally, there was no such thing as a sanctuary, which was actually an artificially erected benchmark for political purposes by the Church.

By the same token, the Sun Tree has a supreme position in the Elven Empire. If the Sun Tree was a ninth-order lifeform, the Elven Empress would never admit that there were other ninth-order lifeforms.

For the Creator, every life has its own value and basis for existence. The Creator does not divide the life ranks, but in the hierarchical Elven Empire, the political significance of the life ranks is greater than the practical significance, and its most basic function is to unite people's hearts.

Victor said confidently, "They are at most eight orders, maybe only seven. ”

His Highness Randall's words were more convincing than those of the halfling brothers. His Highness is a ninth-order demigod, and the transcendent life of the self-proclaimed Lord of Sorrow is only an eighth-order, so since this is the case, there is nothing to worry about.

The ninth order is one level higher than the eighth order, and it must be that His Royal Highness Randall of the ninth order is more powerful. Such a simple truth even Aka and Bell understand, as for Victor, the ninth order, it also came out of the mouth of the halfling brother, and everyone automatically ignored it.

Victor knows that the laws of the world are interrelated three-dimensional, and it is too simple and crude to divide who is strong and who is weak by life level, just like the horned frog in the swamp preys on poisonous flies, and the water snake will eat the horned frog, and the poisonous fly can poison the water snake to death.

As the soul of the expeditionary force, Victor needs to help his followers build confidence without correcting inconsequential notions.

This time, the opponent has abilities beyond the imagination of mortals, and Victor should be more careful and plan in many ways, including explaining key matters to his companions.

Victor pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "I am convinced that the Ant-Man Empress, the Lord of Sorrow, the Lord of Despair, and the Lord of the Black Blood are the will of a split from the same ancient god, and together they can represent the source of some kind of transcendent law. ”

Emerson had previously mentioned that the Lord of Sorrow was the crippled consciousness of the King of the Spirit Realm, and that the title of the King of the Spirit Realm was provided by Victor. Apparently Victor knows more about the secrets. While everyone is curious about this secret, Dane believes that it comes from Father Miller, the Radiant Attendant.

As long as Victor doesn't take the initiative to explain, no one else should get to the bottom of it, so as not to affect Father Miller's great prophecy. So Dane preemptively said: "The ability to revive the ancient gods is mysterious and unpredictable, and we should be cautious in our words and deeds. Your Highness, don't tell us what you can't say. ”

Victor smiled and shook his head, and said, "I really want to start from the beginning, I can't finish it for three days and three nights." How much you can understand is also a question. ”

Everyone nodded, and only the curious halfling brother wrote disappointment on his face.

Victor didn't need to satisfy their curiosity, and said in a deep voice: "The first task of the expeditionary force is to scout, explore, and then take advantage of the situation, including provoking, or using, or using the Lord of Sorrow, the Lord of Dark Blood, and the Lord of Despair to solve the undead Ant-Man Empress...... The reverse is also possible. Of course, this is almost impossible for you, and they know a lot of knowledge and secrets. Compared to Them, you are only blind and deaf. ”

His Highness Randall's statement is also somewhat strange, as he uses "you" instead of "we" to illustrate the issue. However, the Raging Wind Sword Saint was indeed different from everyone else, and everyone present could fully accept his condescending tone.

"This communication between Emerson and the Lord of Sorrow has received too little information. What is certain is that He has something to ask of us, and what He says needs to be further verified by us, and in doing so, tempting us to the Temple of the Azores. Victor pondered for a moment and then said, "What do I suggest...... First of all, Imerson claimed to be an envoy of the Elven Empire, who came for the relics of the Moon Goddess. ”

"We're the envoys, we're ......," Bobo and Tian Tian said as they stood up in their chairs.

"Quiet. ”

The dragon maid Lyra stopped talking, and the halfling brothers immediately shrank back into their seats, leaving only half of their heads level with the table, and their four bright and black eyes rolling around.

Halflings are ingenious, smart, and naturally cute. Victor smiled and said, "Let me ask you, can the blessings of the Sun Tree and the Moon Tree increase the power of the bloodline and stabilize the bloodline level?"

"yes, yes. Bobo probe said.

"The Sun Tree and the Moon Tree have a domain range?"

"That's right, that's right. This time it was Tiantian's turn to raise her head.

"Freya's Tears can spawn a new Moon Tree?"

Bobo and Tian Tian nodded at the same time.

Victor snorted and said to the others, "The black blood monster bird, and the giant black blood bat that Emerson 'saw' are all extinct ancient species, and they should have the light of the elven relics when they can appear. When Emerson tells the Lord of Sorrow that he is from the Elven Empire, the Lord of Sorrow immediately betrays the Black-Blood Master, stating that it was Freya's Tears that trapped the Black-Blood Master. This is consistent with what we learned from Bobo Sweet. If Emerson is indeed an envoy of the Elves, he can confirm that what the Lord of Sorrows says is true, and then take further action and head to the ruins of the Temple of the Azores. This is precisely the result of the hope of the Lord of Sorrow. ”

"Unfortunately, we are impostors, and elven relics are not our primary target. ”

Victor smiled indifferently, and everyone couldn't help but laugh, they had the honor of witnessing His Highness Randall and the resurrection of the ancient gods.

Seeing that everyone had a relaxed expression, Victor nodded secretly, and said, "These transcendent beings may devour each other, but there is no possibility of them fully uniting, because this world will not accommodate a true ancient god. This means that they are not invincible, but they have the basis for cooperation. The second point I want to emphasize is that you must guard your heart, overcome fear, greed, suspicion and other negative emotions, and remember that the castle is easy to attack from within, and that everyone's heart and will is a strong castle, sacrosanct, and as long as you don't open the door, those transcendent beings will not be so easy to influence you. ”

"Follow your teachings!" said everyone in unison.

Victor continued, "The greatest threat to the expeditionary force comes from the Black Blood Beasts, not the resurrected Old Gods. If I guessed correctly, although the black blood beast could not move in the heavy snow, the black blood beast inside the temple of the Azores tower was not necessarily, and due to the domain characteristics of Freya's tears, the black blood beast inside the temple had a powerful ancient species. If we choose to enter the temple of the Azores tower in the snow season, we can certainly avoid the black blood beasts outside the temple along the way, but our exploration is delayed until spring, and all the black blood beasts outside the temple are revived, then we will be blocked in the temple, unable to enter or exit, and have to obey the arrangement of the Lord of Sorrow. ”

Emerson suddenly gasped, bared his teeth and said, "The devil of sorrow is really cunning!"

Victor's dark golden eyes turned to the wizard and smiled, "Fortunately, we still have you, and you can control the black blood beast." ”

The reserved image that Emerson had established collapsed in an instant, and said with a bitter face: "My lord, the black blood monster bird is far more difficult to deal with than the mouse, and the number of black blood beasts I control is actually not too much, and like that ancient big bat, I am not at all sure that I can control it." ”

"Deal with the Black Blood Beasts...... Also rely on the divine power of Lord Dane. ”

Dane wanted to be reserved, and after thinking about it, he had to shake his head and said, "My holy power also has a limit, if the number of black blood beasts and elementalized undead creatures is too large, I'm afraid we will have to make other preparations." ”

Leaving aside the extraordinary strength of the undead, the non-vital attributes alone are enough to cause a headache, and once their numbers reach a scale, there is really no good way for the expeditionary force to take the undead with physical damage as the main means.

"The master must be prepared, you don't have to worry!" said Nelson, in a loud voice and full of confidence.

Victor nodded, "Is there a way to try it to find out...... There are also black blood monster birds lurking underground in the nearby forest. Emerson, you grab some and use them as test materials, I will try to concoct potions to restrain the black blood monsters, and Dane, you must cooperate with me. ”

Dane asked curiously, "Your Highness, are you still proficient in pharmacy?"

"Mastery?" ......Victor felt a little melancholy in his heart, and said lightly: "There should be no one in the human realm who can compare with me. ”

At this time, Master Tofowen of the Kite Fort may have fallen. Victor got his true inheritance, and with the transcendent means of air elemental perception, he can be said to be the best potion master.

Due to the asymmetry of information, Victor currently has no way to distinguish between the lies and the truth of the resurrected old gods, and it is actually a giveaway to let Emerson communicate with the Lord of Sorrow, and let the wizard control the black blood monster bird is his main purpose.

From the time of the collapse of the Assyrian Empire, the Lord of Sorrow or the Lord of the Black Blood survived for at least 1,500 years. With such a long span of time, Victor could imagine how many undead they had created. Even if there is a limit to the number of undead creatures that can be created, they have plenty of time to increase the power of the undead. Otherwise, how can they resist the invasion of the Ant-Man Legion and hold on to the ruins of the Temple of the Tower of the Azores?

The snow and ice are a great time to infiltrate the temple's ruins, but there are definitely powerful black blood guards inside the temple. If the expeditionary force wants to seize the initiative, analyzing the weaknesses of the black blood monster is the basis for carrying out operations.

Dissecting the corpse of the black blood monster bird is of little significance, Victor has to analyze the operation mechanism of the black blood, and the wind element insight requires the honest cooperation of the observation subject, and Emerson can solve this problem by controlling the black blood monster bird.

The expeditionary force moved quickly, set up an apothecary laboratory, and went around collecting the botanicals that Victor needed. Victor, Emerson, and Dane forgot to sleep and eat and tested various test potions with the Black Blood Monster Bird.

Coincidentally, Bertina went to the laboratory to join in the fun, and when everyone was not looking, she imitated Victor's appearance and threw a green amber into the pot, and the result was surprising, and the potion that could dissolve black blood was actually finalized.

Beltina, who has her own aura of luck, plays a key role, and although she is mischievous, she is praised by Victor and everyone alike. The four dragon maids were not so happy, because all the purple amber they had collected had been taken by their masters.

The amber-based potion can damage the black-blooded monster when applied to the blade, but Victor is still not satisfied, and he asks Dane to throw Miller's holy crystal into a vat full of potion, and says that Miller used to use holy light to bless the potion in Randall's territory and provide it to the sick homeless, and the healing effect is very good.

Suspicious, Dane put the Holy Crystal into the barrel and activated the Holy Light Technique within. The green flask is stained silvery white by the Holy Light, and its killing effect on black-blooded monsters is doubled. Victor was overjoyed, and admired in his heart that Old Man Miller was really reliable, and he asked Dane to turn all the remaining six barrels of green elixir into silver light elixir, he believed that this silver light potion containing holy power also had a killing effect on elementalized undead creatures.

After the transformation of the potion was completed, half of the holy power in the Holy Crystal was consumed. Dain's heart ached, and he strongly urged the expeditionary force to wait for the Holy Crystal to regain its strength before leaving for the ruins of the Temple of the Azores.

At this time, it was the season of March, the freezing rain was continuous, and the ground was muddy and slippery, which was not conducive to the march. Everyone happened to stay in the camp and concentrate on cultivating the secret method of Portanos. The experience of the ferocious warrior Red Wolf has proven that the mythical three-headed lizard concept has a special effect of protecting the soul. A trip to the Assyrian temple can be unpredictable, and it's always good for everyone to have an extra hole card.

In April of the season of water, snowflakes are falling from the sky, and it is finally time for Randall's expeditionary force to start.

However, Victor is gone.

Charlotte rushed into the laboratory in full armor, and shouted in some anger: "The team should be leaving, but I can't find His Highness, do you know where His Highness is?"

Imerson and Dane, who were packing up the silver light potion, were startled, they looked at each other, and then shook their heads.

Charlotte held the hilt of the sword, froze down, looked at Emerson with a calm gaze, and said, "Your Highness told me two days ago that he was going to go out, and he said that he would use a few of your black blood monster birds to scare and scare the tail that follows us!"

Imoson's face changed, and he hurriedly explained: "The master did ask me to send more than a dozen black blood monster birds to fly more than 80 kilometers south, and he also took the control post, but the master didn't tell me what he was going to do...... Didn't the master come back? I'm going to send all the alien beasts to find him!"

"No need. ”

The dragon maid Leila pushed the door in from the outside, a pair of flaming vertical eyes glanced at Charlotte, Dane and Emerson, and said coldly: "My king will not come back, he ordered the expeditionary force to be divided into two, Charlotte, Dane, Imerson, Caligula, Bertina, Marcy, Halfling Brothers, and Todd lead half of the men, Charlotte is the commander, and Dilly and I are responsible for protecting you; Commander Nelson, Klaus, Brandon, Rogers, and Red Wolf lead the rest, and Furgre and Mei Wen are responsible for protecting them." The two teams set off at once, going their separate ways, to explore the ruins of the Temple of the Azores. ”

Layla's gaze is terrifying, extremely intimidating. Charlotte pursed her lips vigorously, secretly pursing her spirit, ready to ask her what happened. Pastor Dane walked over, shook his head, and whispered, "Madam, don't ask...... His Highness is not an ordinary man, he is the Sword Saint of the Furious Wind, the most powerful transcendent in the human realm, and he is the same as the Lord of Sorrow......"

Leila smiled, her terrifying vertical pupils turned back into beautiful round pupils, and she bowed her head and said, "You have a little knowledge...... My king also said that half a barrel of silver light potion and a black blood monster bird were left in the laboratory. ”
