Chapter 61: The Resurrected Dead
Behind the door at the end of the staircase is a large and dark space, which, according to preliminary judgment, is at least more than two thousand square meters. The light of the stairwell was projected into the room along the kicked open door, but only to the small area of the doorway, leaving everything in the room in total darkness.
"Darkness will not provide you with refuge. Moore plucked the strings, and though it was just an ordinary conversation, there was a singing rhythm in the words: "Three, your breath betrays you like a light in the middle of the night." ”
"You miscounted, it's four. At the end, Pannis, who also climbed the last step and entered the door: "No, no, I'm wrong, it's five people." The latter two, although you don't know how to hide your breathing and heartbeat, you can't control the flow of your blood no matter what. I wonder how your blood flows without a heartbeat?"
"Curious? hey, hey, hey. A cold and hoarse voice came from the darkness, and everyone who heard the voice had a feeling of being entangled in a damp and slippery poisonous snake: "Join us, and you will naturally know this secret." ”
With a slight slapping sound, the center of the ceiling at the top of the space suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire room. Sure enough, it was an extremely large hall, which seemed to be one of the maintenance hubs for the sewers, and doubled as a warehouse, with tools of various sizes stacked under the walls on all four sides, ranging from thousands of kilograms to the size of a finger, and all kinds of tools that could be called or unnamed were dazzling.
The area of seven or eight hundred square meters in the center of the room was artificially cleaned up and turned into a blank area, eight single beds were scattered in the outermost part of the empty area, and some used tableware and sundries were randomly piled up in a corner, from which it seems that this group of people has lived here for a short time. In the middle of the empty space, three teleportation circles were arranged in a triangle, and the magic energy flowed in the circle, each of which had resonated with the other side and could be activated at any time.
Around the circle, the five people seemed to be prepared. He was sitting leisurely around a large round table, with a deck of cards and bags of gold coins scattered on the table, as if he had been playing cards before. The lights didn't seem to have any effect on the five people seated, who just looked at the group in front of the door with mocking smiles.
"Only nine of them came in. The man sitting in the middle slowly stood up. The body was wrapped in a purple robe, but the sleeve on the left side fluttered with the movement: "It's okay, two ordinary people don't matter, it's okay to let them go." ”
"It turned out to be you. Catherine's remaining shield was held at her side, her right hand gripping the hilt tightly. Looking at the purple-robed mage in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that the arrow of the president at that time didn't kill you, it's a pity." ”
"I said at the time that you had better pray that you don't meet me again. Obviously, the purple-robed mage was the master of the cold voice before, and at this time, with a cruel smile on his face, he said hatefully: "The account of my arm should be cleared up today." ”
"As luck would have it, you almost killed Luna, and I'm trying to settle the score. Although she knew that she was facing a legendary-level mage, Catherine was still undaunted. Standing in front of all his teammates: "I know that the five of you are all Legendary, but we may not have the strength to fight." ”
Having said that, everyone knows in their hearts that in fact, they really don't have the strength to fight. If you look at the strength on the surface, if there are only two people on the other side, everyone can still win, and the words of three people are basically a battle that must be lost, and the difference is only that the loss is ugly or not. Now, however, there were not three people in front of him, but five people. There is almost no point in fighting.
"Courageous, but meaningless. A seated black-robed mage stood up, the golden hourglass logo gleaming on the placket. The black-robed mage bowed to the purple robe and said, "According to the agreement, I have blocked the door downstairs. They will never be able to escape for three hours. ”
"Thank you. The purple robe ignored Catherine, returned the salute and said, "Then I wish you all the best." Ah, forgot, it should be wishing us all the best. ”
"Don't worry, I'll fulfill the agreement with that person for you. Another black robe at the table, who also covered his face with a hood, also stood up, stroked his chest and saluted, "Please take me to pay tribute to your Holy See." ”
"Take me to your chief, too. The purple robe said gratefully: "Time is pressing. If it weren't for the two of us coming to support in time, we would have to deal with the troublesome situation on both sides at the same time, and we would really not have enough manpower. ”
"Part of the trouble here is after us, after all. The black-robed mage's gaze swept over the Moor, and a disdainful sneer came out from the only exposed lip under the hood: "Good luck to you, you think you are the prey of hunters." The only pity is this elf, alas. ”
"I will do my best to compensate for your losses. Zi Pao had a smile on his face: "We won't let our new partners suffer losses." ”
"Then there is labor. "The two black-robed mages stepped into one of the teleportation circles at the same time, and under the light of magic, they quickly disappeared from the circle, and they didn't know where they went.
"Okay, they're all gone. The purple robe turned his attention back to the side of the joint team: "You haven't lost your mind, I originally thought that when you saw them leave, you would be unwilling to stop it, but I didn't expect you to put on a happy look." ”
"Of course I'm glad. Moore sneered, "We don't have any chance of winning against the five of you, but if it's just the three of you, then you're the one who should be upset." ”
"That's what you think?" the purple robe smiled mockingly, "Then keep it that way." ”
"yes, keep it up. Pannis pouted and said, "And then be raided by the person behind the circle who wants to teleport in at any time?
"Hey, I'll just say it's hard to hide from you that you're stuck at the tipping point of casting. The purple-robed mage smiled regretfully, and pressed it on the table a few times, and one of the three circles suddenly began to flash, and after a few seconds, a short and fat man 'rolled' out of the circle.
"Eddard Gehry? As an elf, Moore had maintained the grace and demeanor of an elf all the way, and for the first time showed a frightened expression, pointing at the man who suddenly appeared and shouting, "You, you, aren't you dead?"
Ed Gehry, one of the most famous legendary powerhouses of the Terran race seventy years ago, is kind, thinks more about others, and has a good personality, so his friends are all over the Yara continent. Although his strength can only be regarded as above the average of the Legendary Rank, he is more respected than others, and has a deep friendship with many Legendary Rank powerhouses, and even several demigods have a good relationship with him. Of course, these are not the key, the key problem is that forty years ago he had reached the end of his life, and under the farewell of many strong people, he would sleep forever among the flowers. More than thirty Legendary-level professionals witnessed this scene, and the possibility of fraud was almost zero. So, either the strong are a bunch of blind people and idiots, or something incredible is happening.
"I think it's probably the latter. Pannis's face didn't show joy or anger, but his eyes were very strange, and he looked at the four enemies in front of him: "I didn't even notice that he was dead, no wonder they can go freely in the sewers without holding the goblin's spar card, it turns out that they are all in this half-dead and half-alive state." Catherine and I, an old friend, were fine, at least we had normal breathing and heartbeat, and the other three didn't even breathe and heartbeat. I wonder how you did it, it turned out to be a dead corpse. ”
"Summoning the undead?" Moore seemed to think of something, and looked at Pannith with a complicated face: "The return of the dead?"
"No, no, no, it's harder than summoning the undead. Pannis's hands behind his back looked calm, but Lina behind him could see his whole hand trembling as he clenched into fists behind his back. The first time Lina saw Pannith show such a state, she didn't know if it was because of fear or anger: "I'm afraid this is a technique to protect the soul of the opponent while the target is dying, and then put the soul back into the body that has died. ”
"Tsk, although the hatred between us is deep, now I have to admire your insight. The purple-robed necromancer smiled and applauded: "We have been hidden in this era for more than three thousand years, and we feel that we have long been forgotten by the world, but I didn't expect that you recognized our origin at the first time." ”
"Of course, and I know why you've been hiding for more than 3,000 years. Pannis sneered and said: "In the Golden Age of the First Age, Orkus, who died by the lord of the necromancer's faith, fell, and Danatus took the authority, but at the end of the War of the Gods in the Third Age, Danatus, who acted as a theocrat, also fell, and since then the necromancer has lost the ability to summon ghouls, and even the ability to control the undead. If you can't summon ghouls, you will no longer have a bargaining chip to attract those life-hungry powerhouses to serve you, so the necromancer's inheritance will be almost severed. ”
"That's right. The purple-robed mage said in admiration, "Go on?"
"I finally got it. Breathe, breathe, breathe, Pannis took several deep breaths in a row to calm the anger in his heart: "More than a hundred years ago, the disaster on the day of the king's return is probably a sign that Danatus has woken up again." ”
"Danatus is nothing, a traitor who kills gods and plots rebellion. The purple-robed mage sneered, "A self-righteous fool. ”
"It turns out that you are followers of Orkus. Pannis made eye contact with Moore again, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes: "It seems that Orkus woke up that time." I guess his resurgence has nothing to do with you. ”
"Guess what? hey, hey, hey. The purple-robed mage laughed: "You better go to my divine seat and verify it yourself." (To be continued.) )
