4. The Fate of Weakness (I)

The blue teleportation light vanished, and Inham appeared in the teleportation magic circle of the Diya Valley.

At first glance, he could hardly believe his eyes, and the valley of Deya, which used to be like a paradise on earth, was now a barren. The grass has become the dried humus of the silt in the humus gutter, the tall trees with lush foliage are all left with only a thin and strange dead wood, the strange flowers and plants planted and cultivated by countless necromancers for hundreds of years, and all the garden scenery have all died like this**, only a few buildings are left standing there alone, the sky is obviously cloudless, but the sun can't shine down, and the valley is gloomy like a dead field.

A strange humming sound covered the Diya Valley, echoing throughout the Shadow Spiral Mountains. Along with this sound spread and covered an incomparably powerful aura, which wiped out all life in the Diya Valley, and could not even penetrate the sun's rays.

This aura is actually not unfamiliar to Inham or Diya Valley, it is the breath of the ancient artifact that stands on top of the Shadow Vortex, the Dark Star. It's just that now the breath is not as calm as before, but as violent as a tsunami. The Valley of Diya was the only corner of the Shadow Range that Archibald had personally selected that was not covered by this breath, but now the chaotic surge of this breath had drowned out the only dead end.

"I can't believe you dare to come. "A figure came silently from not far away, like a wandering spirit in this lifeless place.

"Nice, what's going on?" Inham asked, exclaiming. The voices of the two necromancers echoed through the empty valley, as lifeless as the humming.

"Don't you know better, what's going on?" the necromancer known as Ness frowned and looked at Inham, his expression was originally full of anger and murderous intent, but in the end, it all turned to a deep helplessness and sighed. "Forget it, the Dark Star has awakened, except for us. There is nothing living in the Valley of Deya anymore. It won't be long before we are alive......"

The Necromancer is the only life that is not affected by the breath of the Dark Star. Every necromancer will receive the brand of the Black Star when they enter the Valley of Diya, and this brand will be sealed to their fate.

"Who pulled up the Dark Star?" isn't the hilt still in the Castle of Radiance?"

"You don't know?" Ness looked at Inham for a moment, then turned to walk away. "Come here, both teachers are at the peak. ”

From a distance, the black aura on the peak of the Shadow Vortex Mountain Range, high in the clouds, was like a huge snake rolling and circling. Inham followed briskly and walked there.

On the top of the peak, two old men were standing in the turbulent black aura. Silently gazing at the dark stars above the altar. Ness and Inham didn't look back when they came up, and the sword body of the Necronomicon's artifact was still stuck on the altar, but it was a thousand times larger than before.

It is true that no one has pulled up the sword itself, but the breath contained in it for thousands of years has been pulled up, or it is about to be pulled up. At such a close distance, he could feel that although this breath was boundless and incomparable, it was actually just a giant beast that was about to break out of its cocoon like a bow with a full string. Hide, suppress, and wait for a more terrifying outburst to erupt.

"Someone picked up the hilt of the sword that was in the Castle of Radiance. Inham understood. But his surprise did not diminish in the slightest, and even turned into anger, and a vague sense of foreboding arose in his heart. "Who is it? Could it be ......?"

"What's wrong? I thought you were doing it. Isn't it?"

The two old men turned around, it was Shante and Aegrenel. Shante's expression was still indifferent, like a living fossil in this breath, and Egrenel was similar to Ness, she looked at Inqim's eyes with irrepressible anger and murderous intent, but in the end it still did not explode. She paused. Q: "Is the deal between us finished?"

The Necromantic King has been born, and the fate of the Necromancer Land will be the same, to kill or not to kill. There is no difference between dead and undead anymore. In fact, even the question she is asking now is equally meaningless.

After thinking about it, Inham replied, "The man has escaped, at least he was fine when I left." ”

"What about Stephen, who was tricked into going to Shining Castle by you, and is now a subordinate of the Necromantic King, or is it just a corpse transformed into a corpse? Even if this is not intentional, it should have something to do with what you did......" Shante's face was full of wrinkles, like a thousand-year-old bat fossil, still indifferent. Although his eyes were cloudy like fossils, it seemed that nothing could be hidden from him, or he could guess, but it seemed to him that there was nothing in this world that was worth causing mood swings anymore. "But that's all there for now...... There will be this day after all. Sooner or later......"

"I'm going back and see. He was stunned for a moment, and Hamm's face changed over and over again, and suddenly he turned and walked down the mountain.

"To the Castle of Radiance?, do you think you can still keep your mind to yourself when you feel the breath of the Necromantic King at such a close distance?" Ness's face sneered. "Don't be so anxious. When the Necronomicon returns to the Valley of Dioya to truly raise the Dark Star, we will all be his loyal servants. When the time comes, no matter where you are, the imprint in your body will doom your fate. ”

Inham did not reply, and his descent down the mountain was still fast without pausing or hesitating. Back in the valley, instead of fetching the teleportation scroll, he headed for the place where the gargoyle was kept. Even if he couldn't use the teleportation scroll, he had to take a gargoyle to see what was going on at the closest distance.

"Where are you going?" came a hoarse voice that was hard to hear.

Inham's footsteps froze, and he turned to see the lich's thin, mangled figure. In front of the Pitch Black Star's vast and boundless aura, it seemed that the sealing magic array they had set up at the beginning was not much stronger than tissue paper.

"I've heard that everything is your fault? What I have been trying so hard to accomplish for so long, I can't believe that you, the person who has been holding me back, have done it. Anyway, should I thank you?"

It was as hard as dozens of rusty iron files rubbing against each other, and the mockery in Widnina's voice was palpable, if not audible. I don't know if it was due to the influence of the dark star's beginning to release breath, or because of his mood, the flames in the lich's eye sockets were much more intense than usual. She looked up at the dim sun hanging in the middle of the sky, and then at Inham, and even the muscles that had been dry for decades trembled, as if to smile and say, "It's been a long time since you had seen me." But I didn't expect to see the sun filtered by this great necromantic breath when I came out. I wonder if you're going to surprise me with this?"

The light of the teleportation magic array in the distance lit up and dissipated again, and then Sandru's figure appeared, he glanced around, and walked quickly towards here.

"Teacher, are you back to celebrate this great occasion?" Vidnina chuckled like a bellows.

Sandru glanced at her and Inham and asked in a low voice, "Who did it?"

Sandru's face was heavy and depressed, as if he had poured hundreds of pounds of lead on his face. And it was also the lead mixed with the most violent gunpowder that exploded at any time, especially when he looked at Inham, the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised. But Inham didn't even look at him.

"Strictly speaking, it's him, though he's unintentional. Teachers don't need to be too nervous, because this has nothing to do with personal will, it's just fate. ”

Widnina waved her hand, she was now like a proven prophet, her ugly voice full of irresistible greatness linked to fate. "Mr. Ronis, you and Deken...... Later, almost everyone in the valley of Diya, almost everyone in the whole world stopped me, and in terms of action, you all succeeded, because Hamm you even had to imprison me. But in the end, the end result was that I won. ”

Sandru snorted, snorting heavily, and his face became more ugly, but he didn't speak.

Vidnina's interest was getting higher and higher, and she continued to gush: "No, it shouldn't be said that I have won, this is the trajectory fixed by the gears of fate, and I am on the side of fate." All your efforts are in vain, and it can even be said that your obstruction is only part of fate, and I do not hate you for what you do, because I know very well that it is fate......"

Sandru's face changed and became very strange, but he still didn't say anything, just sighed heavily.

It was Sandru who sighed and Inham was sighing at the same time, these two people seemed to have a strange tacit understanding at this moment, and the sighs of the two coincided together, but Sandru was very heavy, and Inham was very light.

Inham's eyes were always on Vidnika's face, his eyes were gentle, with confusion, nostalgia, and a little heartache. His eyes were already very bright, very good-looking, and such eyes were enough to make any woman drunk, but it was a pity that the focus of his eyes was that mummy-like dry and ugly face without the slightest beauty or vitality.

He wasn't actually looking at the ugly lich in front of him, he was looking at the beauty of twenty years ago, and the intoxication of twenty years ago was unforgettable.
