Chapter 308: Necromancy!
The town of Iwaguchi was once a famous ancient battlefield with countless bones buried and a huge cemetery of heroic souls. This time, there were many strange things happening in the Heroic Soul Cemetery, one by one the graves were dug up, and all the bones inside were stolen, and then a series of disappearances of residents occurred in the town, and the whole town was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror, the missing disappeared, the fleeing escaped, the population decreased dramatically, and even the newly sent guards were gone.
"It is said that several walking skeletons have been seen outside the town, and others have seen former acquaintances turned into unconscious zombies. Athena said, "Now that the people of Iwaguchi are unstable, we must resolve this matter as soon as possible." ”
The sheriff is not only responsible for the security of Darkmoon City, but also responsible for the security of all areas in the territory, which should have been Chen Rui's responsibility, but at present, it is not suitable for him to appear in public, so it falls on Athena's head.
"Zombie ......" Chen Rui frowned, although zombies made him think of things like Raccoon City and the T virus for the first time, but those were just the original shijie movie plots, in this plane, the only thing that can catch up with these undead creatures is undead magic.
Even in the Demon Realm, necromancy is not a popular form of magic, and it is rare for researchers to choose secluded places such as deep mountains and old forests, such as directly attacking the densely populated areas of an empire's territory.
"There's no doubt that there's a guy who is proficient in necromancy behind this. Delia groaned slightly: "As long as you get rid of this magician, the problem of Rock Mouth Town can naturally be solved." ”
This sentence was agreed by everyone, and Athena nodded, "That's right, I'll lead the guards to Iwaguchi Town right now to find and kill that magician." ”
"I'll go with you. Chen Rui, Delia and Lomont said in unison.
Pagliu spoke: "Delia, you have reached the critical moment of advancing to the Great Demon King, I see that you may break through at any time in the next few days, so you must stay." Lomon, you also stay, to protect Delia, just in case. During this time, I was about to get sick in the dark moon, so this time I accompanied Athena and Chen Rui, with Lord Ben there, waving his hand, that magician turned to ashes. ”
Due to the reason of the shackles of the soul, Delia's advancement is very difficult, and she has been stuck at the peak of the demon king for a long time, Lomon's original strength is under her, and now she has broken through to the big demon king, and Delia still has not been able to break through this hurdle, fortunately, there is a very wonderful aurora ice in the underground secret cave of the original Mellon family address, which makes Delia one level closer to the breakthrough, as long as she can reach the big demon king, plus the effect of the phantom shield, the danger of the spiritual shackles on her body will be greatly reduced. If you can surpass Bai Luo's realm, then the shackles of the mind will disappear automatically, but this is very difficult, and the most important way is to kill Bai Luo.
As soon as Lomont heard that Delia had reached the critical moment of breakthrough, he immediately stopped insisting and agreed.
In this way, Pagliu, Chen Rui and Athena set off for Iwaguchi Town with fifty guards, and if they really dealt with the magicians, one or two would be enough, and the purpose of the guards was to maintain the chaotic order. Araux remained in Darkmoon to continue training soldiers and organizing battle orb training. In order not to affect Delia, this operation also piggybacks on the boring Didiu and the little dark horse who doesn't like Lomon.
Originally, Delia and Athena wanted to give the Nightmare Beast a name, but the Nightmare Beast was used to hearing Chen Rui shouting "Little Dark Horse", so they actually recognized this very unclassy name, which made everyone quite speechless.
Chen Rui naturally didn't use his true face, but just disguised himself as a magician, and Pagliu's identity was a swordsman, and the identities of the two came from the Wells family of the Vallock Fortress.
Four days later, the team arrived at Rock Mouth Town, due to the decades of economic depression in Dark Moon City, several towns in the territory are generally poor and backward, and they cannot compare with other territories, the population of Rock Mouth Town is not large, except for this kind of incident, it looks even more dilapidated.
The first thing Athena did when she entered the town was to find Mayor Shike, a fat-headed, big-eared demon. The magistrate of the territory is equivalent to a powerful person second only to the lord, especially with the army in his hands, the mayor of the town, Shike, is a member of the Saifu family, knowing Athena's origins, and his attitude is extremely flattering, Athena is too lazy to talk to him, and directly asks about what happened in Yankou Town. ,
Shi Ke looked afraid of blame, and said that about two months ago, many graves in the Heroic Soul Cemetery were excavated, and according to the report of the people who sent them, those graves were actually dug up from the inside out, that is, the bones "resurrected" and came out of the inside. Shi Ke wanted to report the incident to Darkmoon City, but Defense Captain Seaman stopped him, saying that he needed to investigate further before reporting it. Considering that the Mellon family and the Severic family were fighting fiercely at the time, the matter might be used by the Mellon family, so he adopted Seaman's opinion. As a result, the situation became more and more serious, not long ago, even He-Man himself disappeared, and Shi Ke didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he quickly reported it to Darkmoon City.
Athena frowned, Shi Ke knew about this matter, and there was an unshirkable responsibility, although she was not good at politics, but she also understood that the Sai family was a staunch supporter of the eldest princess Thea, and it was not the time to hold him accountable, but to deal with the magician as soon as possible.
Instead of staying in Shike's mayor's mansion, Athena came to the original defense post and led the soldiers into the station. According to Chen Rui's opinion, everyone acted separately, Athena integrated the remnants of the original town's guards, and arranged patrols separately to calm the emotions of the townspeople. Pagliu went to the cemetery to investigate the situation, while Chen Rui went to the town to further investigate the information and learn more about the inside story.
When Chen Rui returned to the defense station, Pagliu had already returned, according to the observation of the poisonous dragon, there was indeed a breath of undead magic in the Heroic Soul Cemetery, and the purity of that breath was very high, more powerful than imagined, judging from Pagliu's experience, this magician was likely to have reached the Demon Emperor level.
Due to the fact that the age and inheritance of Liliang have not been fully digested, Xia Ya's strength is only the peak of the Great Demon King, which is weaker than the other three major lords, and the Demon Emperor-level powerhouse is second to none in the Dark Moon Territory, so it is no wonder that he dares to openly attack the densely populated area.
Of course, this "second to none" has the effect of black potion and aurora ice without counting Pagliu, and the strength of the poisonous dragon has recovered to the peak of the Demon Emperor level, plus the original Demon Emperor level combat experience and perception, there should be no opponent at the Demon Emperor level. It's a pity that due to the relationship between the ancient runes, Pagliu can only stop there, and can no longer advance an inch. If the opponent is a Demon Emperor level and the poisonous dragon is there, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Chen Rui's harvest is not small, using camouflage and other methods, he heard a lot of information, as the mayor of the town, Shi Ke's reputation is not very good, corruption and bribery, bullying the townspeople, the captain of the defense Seaman is not much better, the means are cruel, those who offend him will be imprisoned in a secret black prison, and there is basically no possibility of survival. If it weren't for the horror of the undead event, Seaman's disappearance would have made everyone applaud. According to the townspeople, skeletons and zombies have appeared in the direction of Black Rock Mountain in the north and Roque Mountain in the west, and Black Rock Mountain is still a ghost place in Yankou Town, where bold people have entered, and no one dares to approach these two areas again.
Pagliu nodded and said, "Eat something and rest first, and go our separate ways tonight, I'll go to Roque Mountain, and Chen Rui will go to Black Rock Mountain!"
Chen Rui frowned and said, "I always feel that this matter doesn't seem to be so simple. ”
"Don't overcomplicate simple questions, there's nothing to hesitate about, just pull out the necromancer and you'll understand everything. Pagliu said disapprerovantly, and immediately clapped: "Athena is the leader of the guards, let's stay here with Didiu, a little necromancer, Chen Rui and I can solve it in the fastest time." ”
When night fell, a black shadow appeared in the woods at the foot of Heiyan Mountain, it was Chen Rui riding a little black horse.
For the sake of prudence, Chen Rui had already put on a set of equipment, and the thunder sound around his neck was always worn, and the attribute of that undead creature that doubled its damage should be able to work wonders in this kind of battle.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in front of him, and a skeleton of Bai Sensen appeared in the sight of the two, followed by another one, more and more...... Under the moonlight through the forest, it is densely packed with white bones, which makes people creepy. ,
Race: Skeleton Man (Undead), Overall Strength Rating: E. Physique E-, liliangE, spiritual F-, agility F.
The skeleton man felt the non-undead aura of Chen Rui and the little black horse, and slowly surrounded him, the movable skeleton made a tooth-aching squeak, and the comprehensive strength was a mid-level demon in the early stage, this kind of strength, for Chen Rui and Puglevu, no matter how many there were, it was useless. Chen Rui punched in the air, and his strength hit a skeleton in the front, half of his body was instantly shattered, and his lower limbs were still walking, but they were quickly destroyed by the surging aftermath.
Chen Rui remembered that Pagliu said that necromancers like to use crowd tactics the most, and it is best not to waste Liliang and time in vain, so he immediately urged the little black horse to punch quickly along the way, smashing all the skeletons that approached.
The little black horse was very fast, and before the skeleton could get closer, it had already passed through the encirclement at a rapid pace, and it was not long before it had passed through the woods.
Although the road was bumpy, the little black horse was on the ground. The mountain path of Black Rock Mountain has been completely occupied by undead creatures, the combat power of these undead creatures is not very strong, and the highest zombie leader has only reached the early stage of high-level demons, but the horror of the number makes Chen Rui secretly frightened. These undead creatures add up to only a few thousand, and if they form an army, with that kind of immortality, once they face the guards of the Dark Moon, even if the guards can win, the price to pay will be quite heavy.
What's more, thousands of undead creatures are not necessarily the limit of this mage, once they reach enough quantity or even quality, they are enough to threaten the safety of the entire Dark Moon Territory...... )
