1214. Necromancer Naomi
"You don't like the undead?"
Surdak parryed a skeleton warrior with his shield, and with a wave of the torch of holy light in his hand, it smashed its arm, and the rusty kitchen knife fell to the ground with a clang.
The soul fire in the skeleton warrior's eyes was a little weaker, but the only remaining arm was still grabbing towards Surdak, and the sharp bone fingers were blocked by Surdak's shield, and a holy light erupted on the shield, which immediately made the soul fire in the skeleton warrior's eyes collapse, and then the skeleton warrior turned into broken bones.
Surdak glanced back at Aphrodite, the succubus still following where the light could not be seen.
"For our succubus clan, these guys are indeed very annoying, but fortunately they usually live in the underworld, and they don't always think about running out......" Aphrodite followed behind and said casually: "Necromancers are in the Grimm Empire, and they are heretics for the Magic Guild, in fact, you should bring a magician here." ”
"I suspect that the disappearance of the people in the village of Celia has something to do with this necromancer." Aphrodite followed and added.
Surdak walked in front and didn't speak, this mine was long and deep, every few minutes there was a rotten giant wooden arch supporting the mine, this mine cavern extended downward with some arc, from the door to the mine dozens of meters away, the inside of the mine became pitch black.
Surdak held the Torch of Light, and the flame of Light was lit on top of it.
He rarely takes out this thing and uses it, but when he enters the mine, this torch of holy light is very practical, and a warm holy light not only drives away the darkness, but also dispels the cold and evil thoughts in the mine.
Aphrodite also felt a little uncomfortable with the warm glow emanating from Surdak's torch of holy light.
She tried to keep herself as far away as she could, and she retreated to the edge of the Light and Darkness, and Surdak then saw several zombie hyenas in the mine, but these zombie hyenas and skeleton warriors were as fragile as paper in front of Surdak with the power of the Light.
Aphrodite followed in silence, and after a moment she said to Surdak, "I have a gut feeling...... It's as if someone has led us here! ”
The mine was a mess, with broken bones all over the floor.
Walking into the depths, you can also see some graffiti on the walls, these patterns seem to record something.
Continue to walk inside, and finally see an open mine in front of me, and the giant beast made of bones spliced together, the body is blocked in the mine, it is completely a zombie monster stitched together by some white bones and some messy things, the soul fire in the eyes is extremely blazing, and a huge head is covered with fangs made of white bones.
Through the bone beast, Surdak saw the necromancer sitting at the edge of the mine's shaft, as if she was tending to a wound on her body.
Surdak raised the Goethe shield in his hand and approached the bone beast......
The Bone Behemoth raised its head as if it had let out a silent roar before rushing towards Surdak without hesitation.
Surdak's shield lit up with a holy light, and the magic pattern structure on his body also lit up with a magical glow, and after having the magic pattern construction power bonus, Surdak waved the holy light torch in his hand and smashed it down, and a magic pattern glow poured out in front of him.
'White Hot'
The torch of holy light in his hand brought up five afterimages, and smashed on the head of the white bone giant beast almost at the same time.
The white-boned beast didn't seem to be afraid of pain at all, and its head slammed into Goethe's shield, and Surdak only felt as if it was a brute bull hitting him, and the shield slammed into his shoulder, and Surdak took a step back in pain.
The white-boned beast was much more embarrassed, and the bones on its skull were shattered by the slamming of the torch of holy light.
Surdak's shield shattered its teeth even more.
In front of a second-turn knight, the white-bone beast was restrained to death by Surdak.
Aphrodite also took the opportunity to release two shadow arrows, and the shadow arrows with black magic energy smashed on the top of the white bone beast's head, instantly making its soul fire weaken again.
At this time, Surdak injected a holy light power into the torch, and the moment the torch fell, the soul fire in the eyes of the white bone giant beast dispersed, and the entire giant beast turned into a pile of bone mountains, which were scattered on the ground in an instant.
The woman leaned against the mine, her eyes full of resentment towards Surdak, and she looked at the mountain of bones with a look of lovelessness as if she were her own child.
There were also a number of skeleton warriors around the mine, summoned by her, who slowly approached Surdak with stiff steps.
The emaciated woman also put her hand into her ribs again, Surdak held a sword and shield, blocked the skeleton warrior in front of him, and strode in front of the necromancer, the cave was arranged with these living items, which looked like she should live.
Although the environment was a bit dark and messy, Surdak was surprised that there was no smell of rot and blood around.
Surdak swapped the torch in his right hand and placed his broadsword at the woman's throat in his left hand.
The skeleton warriors' eyes were blazing with soul fire, and they didn't dare to go any closer to Surdak.
At this time, Surdak began to carefully look at this mine cave that was only a few dozen square meters square, except for the vertical mine shaft in the middle that looked bottomless, the surrounding stone walls were actually full of some magic symbols, which looked like a blackboard for studying the necromancer magic matrix, and on the other side it looked like there was a wooden house built up.
A lot of bottles and cans and magic materials were placed on the wooden shelves outside the wooden house, and they looked quite mixed.
Surdak stood in front of the woman, looking at her face, which was already covered with corpse spots, her skin almost covered with bones, and her shoulder and left rib were wounded, and her right hand was not covering the wound, but trying to pull another rib out of her body.
Surdak handed the long sword in his hand forward, forcing the woman not to move, and before he could ask, he saw two old men suddenly rushing out of the wooden house in the dark corner, looking at them wearing clothes with patches, looking like they should be nearby villagers.
"You can't hurt her, she hasn't done anything bad, she's just a poor child, please let her go!" A hunched old woman threw herself at Surdak's feet, fell to the ground and held Surdak's shoes, and pressed her forehead against the upper of his shoes, her tone full of pleading.
Surdak was a little stunned, and saw that the gray-haired old man was still holding a fork in his hand, but his body seemed to be bound by something, and even though his face was flushed, he could not move.
"Are you old Avi's family?" Surdak asked subconsciously.
Both the old woman and the woman looked at Surdak with a puzzled expression, and raised their wrinkled faces, and she was even a little too old to open her eyes, but she asked tremblingly, "Do you know us?" ”
"I came from Ruit City to investigate the disappearance of people in Selia Village, and before I arrived, only your family and the Krek family were left in Selia Village, so I just guessed casually." Surdak said: "You said that she did nothing bad, but didn't she do the disappearance of the people in the village of Seliya?" ”
"I swear, it wasn't Naomi who would have done anything so unreasonable to the villagers......" said the old woman as she wept.
Surdak did not let his guard down, but glanced back at Aphrodi behind him, he felt that he was a little thirsty, maybe the roast meat in the evening was a little salty, he picked up the kettle and took a sip of water.
Then he looked at the woman who was called Naomi by the old woman, and asked, "What is going on with the disappearance in that village?" "You must know that you will bring old Avi and them here......"
The old woman looked at the thin woman with pleading eyes and said:
"Naomi, tell them!"
"What do you want to know?" The woman's voice was hoarse and metallic, and she continued to ask aggressively, "Or if I say you can let me go?" Can I trust you? ”
"Why not? I'm not one of those sheriffs in the Magic Guild, I won't be hostile to you until you're sure you've broken the laws of Ruyt, and now you're only suspicious of the disappearance of people in Selia Village, but right now, I'm afraid only you can clear your name. With that, Surdak raised the broadsword in his hand a little more, so that the woman could lean against the edge of the mine and sit more comfortably.
Naomi closed her eyes and leaned against the well without saying a word.
"Naomi......," the old woman begged again.
Naomi finally opened her eyes, and when she looked at Surdak, her eyes were full of distrust.
"Okay, but you can't tell anyone that I said this, and I can't mess with you, and I can't afford to mess with them." Naomi lifted her somewhat arrogant neck, and although her face looked a little terrifying, it was very calm, and she continued to Surdak, "Also, take your holy light away from me......
"They are scholars of the Dark Arts Hermitage Academy, a group of fanatical dark magicians, and I thought your companion was one of those dark mages, which is why they had a fight at the entrance of the mine." Naomi said weakly, picking up a bottle of pale green potion and drinking it for herself.
Surdak didn't expect that there were also research institutes of the Dark Arts Hermitage around Ruyt City, and couldn't help but say:
"I didn't know there was such a buzz around Ruit City, and there was actually a stronghold of dark magicians, do you know where they are hiding?"
Naomi nodded slightly, and with great difficulty she got up from the well, and helped the old woman who was lying on the ground to her feet, and said:
"Well, but until you have enough strength, I advise you not to provoke them, and since I have heard of them, I think I should get out of here...... You'll let me go, right? ”
"Of course, but there is a prerequisite, that is, you must verify that what you say is true......"
Surdak smiled very gentlemanly and said to Naomi.
