390. Lich Skull
Seeing out the window that there was still a fierce battle, the zombie group with a body as hard as gold and iron had rushed to the small square in front of the villa, and the manor guards had already piled up a wall of fire not far from the steps of the villa.
"I have to get out of here, right now, not a second."
Standing by the window and seeing the white shadow rising into the sky, Miss Fanny thought to herself.
Miss Fanny thought that if it weren't for the Holden Knights, the manor guards and nobles downstairs would never have been able to kill the two ghosts in the oak grove alone, so when the ghosts reappeared in the manor, she immediately decided to flee the manor.
Miss Fanny was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and wore a maid's dress, she tied up her long hair, washed her delicate makeup thoroughly, and even applied a layer of beeswax dye on her face, making her skin sallow and sallow, dressed as an inconspicuous maid, and put valuables in her magic waist bag, thinking that this belt might not be safe to tie around her waist. After hesitating for a moment, I lifted my skirt and tied the waist bag tightly in the big one. on the legs.
She pushed open the door of the room and looked left and right in the corridor, fortunately there was no maid on duty in the corridor, usually there would be a maid on duty at any time on the side of the manor guest room, in order to deal with the unexpected needs of the guests, but now the manor is in chaos, and the maid on duty in the guest room does not know where to run.
Miss Fanny patted her heart lightly and crept down the hallway toward the staircase.
There was a jumble of footsteps downstairs, and even the screeching of chairs rubbing against the floor, and it looked like a lot of people were moving things, presumably to move out the worthless furniture and wood in the villa, so that the wall of fire at the door would burn a little longer.
Miss Fanny cautiously walked through the corridor on the second floor, taking the spiral staircase on the left to the kitchen at the back of the villa, and by passing through the kitchen she could slip out of the villa through the back door.
"Hey, go to the back kitchen and get grease!" A voice rang out from behind Miss Fanny, with an unmistakable flavor in her tone.
It was Mrs. Christie's voice, and Miss Fanny could hear it.
At this moment, she was so frightened that she almost collapsed on the ground.
She lowered her head, only turned halfway around, pulled the corners of her skirt with both hands, crouched down and saluted Mrs. Christie, and said in the smallest of voices, "Yes, Madame." ”
With that, he quickly walked down the stairs to the kitchen.
But before she could take a few steps, Mrs. Christie called out again: "Wait, I'm looking for some strips of cloth, and if we don't have enough fabric, we'll need to make more torches." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Miss Fanny replied immediately.
This time she walked slowly, for she feared that Mrs. Christie would call out to her, but until she walked down the stairs, there was no voice from Mrs. Christie.
Miss Fanny picked up a tray on the wooden table by the wall, and turned to the kitchen, rolling her eyes fiercely, and in her heart she had scolded Mrs. Christie dozens of times.
The maids in the kitchen were carrying the firewood from the storeroom, and Miss Fanny avoided the crowd and stood for a moment at the door of the storeroom, then looked for an opportunity to come out the back door.
A gust of cold wind blew on her face, making her shiver, she didn't expect it to be so cold in the mountains.
Miss Fanny rode in a magic caravan all the way, and the inside of the carriage was comfortable and warm, so she didn't suffer much except for some bumps along the way.
She reached the stable, near the west side, and saw the magic caravan on one side, the magic caravan parked against the wall, the coachman no longer on the car, and the horses pulling the cart were also tied to the stable.
Miss Fanny had not learned how to drive, but she could ride a horse, and she was a good horseman, and she thought it would be more reliable to run away on horseback.
Originally, she wanted to slip away with Leonard Swordsman, but when she sneaked into his room, she found that the other person was no longer in the room, and she didn't expect to go back to the room alone to change her makeup, and found that Leonard actually went downstairs to participate in the defense battle, and almost crooked Miss Fanny's nose at that time.
Miss Fanny was still quite satisfied with Leonard Swordsman, although this young swordsman sometimes behaved a little cowardly, but he was good enough for himself, he traveled all the way from Pena City to several places, no matter what danger he encountered, he would never abandon himself, not as a last resort, and Fanny did not want to leave him.
But at this time, he rushed outside, and it was impossible for Miss Fanny to pull him back from the battlefield, so she could only curse the big idiot in her heart, and she was ready to leave the manor first.
She went into the stable, and hurried down the manger to select the best horses in the stable, but the horses she had chosen were all hostile to her, and would not let her come near, and Miss Fanny had no time to tame these horses of character, so she could only choose one of them that was more docile and lead the horse out of the stable.
Finding the place where the saddle was placed, and saddling it, and everything was ready, Miss Fanny tried to get on the horse, and ran towards the back door.
Feeling that the temperature outside was getting colder, Miss Fanny wanted to go back to the warm house, so she leaned against the warm fire and drank a cup of sweet hot tea.
The fog was in the night, so that the field of vision could only be kept ten meters away, and Miss Fanny was unfamiliar with the manor, so she only felt towards the back door of the manor from memory, and in her palm there were still three gold coins, which she was sure to use to convince the guards at the door to let her go.
She rode her horse far away, but she felt that the horse seemed to be restless, and kept digging the ground with its hooves, and she had to keep urging her to move forward.
Miss Fanny looked around with some trepidation, but did not see any danger, and just as she turned her head, the fog above her head rolled over, and a white figure fell from the sky, the sharp bony fingers grabbed into the flesh of her shoulder, and the other bony hand was directly covered her face, and Miss Fanny was swept into the thick fog without even having a chance to shout, and only a Gubolai horse with a matching saddle was left in the empty backyard.
……
Several guards lured the skeletal soldiers wandering to the left side of the manor, and Surdak followed the raiding party out of the manor through the cloister on the left side of the manor.
As soon as I walked out of the manor, I found that the dense fog around me had lightened significantly, and I didn't meet other wandering skeletons along the way, but just out of the manor, I found that there were skeleton soldiers emerging from behind an oak tree, and the captain of the guard was caught off guard, and the shoulder armor was cut out by the skeleton soldiers, fortunately, this standard armor was quite strong, and after the axe split the shoulder armor, it only left a shallow wound on the shoulder of the guard captain.
Darcy who followed behind. Christie struck almost at the same time, and a sword pierced the skull of the skeleton soldier, her luck was not too good, the stabbing sword stuck in the gap in the skull, and when she drew her sword and retreated, the skeleton soldier was also pulled into her arms.
Carl slashed at the skeleton soldier's vertebrae with a sword, but did not cut off the vertebrae, but fortunately, Leonard swordsman made up a sword next to him, extinguishing the soul fire in the skeleton soldier's eye socket, and the skeleton soldier's power quickly disappeared into a pile of broken bones.
Darcy. Christie pulled out the sword that had been inserted into her skull.
Since most of the low-level undead poured into the manor from the main gate, the raid team decided to search in the direction of the main gate, since all the elites in the manor were drawn out to participate in the raid team, it was impossible for the guards in the manor to last too long, so the raid team was also under great pressure, looking for necromancers who controlled these undead everywhere.
The closer you get to the main entrance of the manor, the more frequent the encounter with the skeleton soldiers.
The skeleton soldiers encountered along the way were all cleaned up by the raid team, but in this way, the whereabouts of the raid team were also exposed, and everyone thought that the necromancer must be hiding at the gate of the main entrance. Christie and the captain of the guard were both in great urgency, and the two of them walked at the front of the line, while Surdak fell at the back of the line.
Surdak fumbled through his magic belt bag for a long time, and finally found a bottle of magic potion that exuded a black aura.
This magic potion is also Cyrus. One of the trophies found on the body of the Hickok magician, and the only bottle of magic potion that Surdak understood the specific effect, according to the content of the dark mage's notes, this is a bottle of secondary stealth magic potion, it is said that this low-level magic potion cannot be completely invisible in the harsh sunlight, and can only hide in the night or in a darkly lit cave, he does not think that the raid team can easily break through the layers of blockade of the skeleton soldiers all the way, and get close to the necromancer who controls all the undead.
He took the bottle of secondary invisibility potion in his hand, and followed the raid team until he rushed to the main gate of the manor, where the fog was relatively thin, only to see a lady tied to a stone pillar under the bronze statue at the gate of the manor, surrounded by some skeletons, a ghost put the sharp scythe in his hand on the neck of the lady, everyone looked around, still did not see the figure of the necromancer, he was still hiding in the dark.
Miss Fanny's voice calling for help could be heard in the distance: "Leonard, help me!" ”
Everyone didn't expect that the lady tied to the pillar would actually be Miss Fanny, everyone was still speculating how she was caught by the necromancer, Leonard Swordsman had already rushed out of the team, ran towards Miss Fanny without hesitation, and shouted to Miss Fanny, "Fanny, you hold on......"
was held back by the captain of the guard and Carl.
The necromancer hiding in the shadows paid no attention to Leonard swordsman, and in a hoarse voice, he said to Miss Fanny, "Hand that thing over, or I'll dig out your heart and turn you into the ugliest living corpse of all, and your constitution will become what it looks like after two short migrations." ”
A zombie with a twisted body and crawling on the ground got up from the ground, its hands lying on Miss Fanny's skirt, and ripped the cotton skirt open with its lining, revealing a pair of long white legs inside, and its hideous and twisted face bit Miss Fanney's big one fiercely. on the legs.
Surdak was ruthless, hid at the back of the team, and secretly drank the bottle of secondary invisibility potion in his hand into his stomach, the potion was cold and had a bitter smell, as if it was ink in the stomach of a cuttlefish, and after Surdak drank a whole bottle of potion, a scene that made him feel extremely strange appeared, his body really slowly became transparent, and disappeared into the air.
His eyes could still see everything around him, but he couldn't see himself, even when he put his hands out in front of him.
Miss Fanny screamed, then shouted in an even sharper voice, "Oh no, you heretic, don't want me to hand over the Crystal Skull!" ”
The hoarse voice hidden in the shadows paused for a moment before saying, "You actually called that thing a crystal skull, hehe, wake up!" ”
The members of the raid team looked around, but unfortunately they didn't find the necromancer's hiding place, he should not be too far away, otherwise it would be difficult for the sound to come, but in the dark night, it was filled with fog, and they were worried about Miss Fanny's safety, so they didn't dare to approach the gate, so they didn't find the necromancer for a while.
Miss Fanny screamed in pain again at the gate, and the Leonard swordsman struggled to break free from the captain of the guard and Karl.
At this moment, the hoarse voice said excitedly: "I feel it, I know where it is hidden!" ”
Then the voice said coldly to Miss Fanny, "And you...... Ma'am, you have lost the only chance that will keep you alive. ”
The scythe in the ghost's hand was raised high, but it didn't fall immediately.
At this moment, behind the bronze statue came a tall but scrawny man, who stood beside Miss Fanny, with a large withered hand pinching Miss Fanny's chin and staring down at her.
"No, Fanny!" The Leonard swordsman burst out with a burst of strength, and even broke free from the captain of the guard and Karl, and rushed straight at Miss Fanny.
"You rush over now, Miss Fanny will die in no time!" Darcy. Christie stopped him and yelled at him.
Leonard's swordsman stopped in a bit of a frustration, Darcy. Christie took the opportunity to ask him, "Leonard, what exactly did you take from him?" ”
Leonard swordsman shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know what she took, she said that it was a sacrifice that could make life eternal, as long as you brought this sacrifice to the temple of Liberty in the imperial capital, and sacrificed it to the goddess, you can get eternal blessings, and even let the ladder to heaven descend and directly lead us to the kingdom of the gods. ”
"How could this be a sacrifice, didn't she tell you that there is actually another form of eternal life?" The necromancer standing beside Miss Fanny seemed to have heard a very ridiculous joke, and then suddenly reached into Miss Fanny's arms, and from her bosom felt a crystal clear skull, and the center of the skull was even inlaid with a magnificent gem of various colors.
