Chapter 82: The Murderer Appears?
"Corpse?" Catherine tilted her head slightly, looking at the figure that fell to the ground not far away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was indeed a corpse, but the corpse was very well preserved, the low temperature here was enough to kill all conventional parasites and bacteria, and the corpse was preserved as if it was alive, except that the surface was covered with a thick layer of frost, as if it was asleep.
The corpse's expression was very serene, as if it was a dead person, without the slightest pain of being killed, it seemed that he should have been taken away without realizing it.
"Who is this corpse?" Catherine leaned over and reached out and gently touched the surface of the corpse, "Ahh
"Yes, all the people who were killed in this bizarre way, the corpses are like this, fortunately you are a primary apprentice with magic in your body to protect you, if it is an ordinary person, just touching the corpse will freeze off a large piece of flesh and skin......"
"The corpse is extremely cold, and this situation is indeed very similar to the performance of a person killed by the Frost Wraith, but when the Frost Wraith kills a person, the dead will not be so peaceful. Catherine frowned, her face full of distress, "And the Yin Spirit that can kill people in the invisible does not have this extremely cold characteristic, so what is it?"
Due to the thick layer of ice covering the corpse, except for the face and limbs of the deceased, the clothing on the body was not very visible, and Yenifa gathered magic energy in his hand and gently stroked the surface of the corpse.
Yenifa practiced the "Praise the Sun" meditation method, so that he has a set of fire, sacred, and light three attributes in one of the three attributes of magic, he only needs to gather a little bit of fire magic energy in his hand, the temperature is enough to ignite the charcoal, and now he stroked the corpse, the frost on the surface of the corpse immediately began to melt.
A thick layer of ice on the surface melted into water and steam, revealing the torso of the buried corpse below, and Yenifa glanced at it with a look of understanding.
"Sure enough, it was the knight sent by the viscount, and the viscount sent a total of three knights, and one has already died here, and the other two should not be far away. Yenifa thought silently in his heart, "But the three knights actually walked not far from the middle of the mine road, and there were casualties, and the strength of the opponent is indeed not ordinary." ”
"Yenifa. Suddenly, Catherine shouted out to Yenifa.
"What's wrong?" replied Yenifa casually, still thinking about the question.
"Can you let me try to get some information from this corpse?" said Catherine, gesturing to the ice corpse on the ground.
Yenifa was stunned for a moment, and when he realized the meaning of Catherine's words, he hurriedly asked Catherine: "Catherine, if I remember correctly, the ability to obtain information from corpses should belong to ......"
"Ah, by the way, I really haven't introduced you to my magical nature yet," Catherine suddenly realized, "I have a dark nature of magical energy, and I am good at necromantic witchcraft and spell witchcraft. ”
Yenifa was shocked, utterly shocked, looking at Catherine's delicate face, her beautiful pretty face, her long, narrow eyes with irresistible charm, and her pretty chestnut shawl hair, even if she was an angel, some people would believe her.
But it's such a beautiful girl, and she's actually a necromancer! the necromancer who has been around corpses and all kinds of weird curses for a long time, and has dealt with all kinds of skeletons and zombies!
In Yenifa's impression, necromancers are the kind of lifeless guys, because of long-term contact with the undead, so they always have a rotten aura and a dead appearance, and are very bad at communicating with other people, and the fanatics among them will even transform themselves into undead and become lichs or something.
It's not that Yenifa has never seen this kind of person, his brother Roy is a necromancer, Roy was originally not good at communication and was gloomy, and now he looks even more weird and lifeless.
As for the image of Catherine, Yenifa couldn't associate it with the word necromancer.
"Anyway, let me give it a try, although I'm only good at a few dark sorcery at the moment, and necromantic sorcery isn't particularly powerful, but I can still get some out of it. Catherine did not notice the stunned expression of Yenifah, and recited the incantation there herself.
"[Conjuring the Spirit]!" accompanied by a wave of dark demonic energy, a strange power descended on the corpse in front of him.
This force was ethereal, as if it was about to forcibly pull something out of the void, but the void kept shaking, as if it could not bear it.
Catherine couldn't help but be a little unhappy when she saw this, and began to increase the output of magic energy, and the void shook more violently, but the existence that was about to be forcibly pulled out could not be dragged out.
"Why is this happening?" Catherine's face turned a little pale after the spell failed, and she became a little disappointed by the embarrassment in front of the boy who cared so much.
"It stands to reason that the sorcery of [Conjuring the Soul] is to present the projection of the remnant soul of the deceased in the void, and it is not directly pulling the soul of the person back from the underworld, so it should not fail to ......" Yenifah held his chin and pondered, "Unless, this person does not even have a remnant soul left, and the soul is eaten and wiped clean, so nothing can be summoned." ”
"All souls have been eaten and wiped clean?" Catherine covered her mouth in surprise and looked back and forth at the corpses on the ground, "Wouldn't it, so miserable?"
"Go ahead, at least we should be in the right direction, since the knight has been killed here, it means that there is indeed a murderer on this road. After Yenifa finished speaking, he recited a few incantations, "[Golden Stone Oath]!!"
A ball of light shining with golden light appeared in Yenif's hand, and under the manipulation of Yenifa's spiritual power, the golden ball of light turned into a belt of light like a match, enveloping both Yenifa and Catherine, like a pale golden film of light enveloping the two of them.
"That...... Yenifa ......" Catherine looked a little embarrassed and gently poked Yenifa with her slender jade finger, "It's a bit embarrassing to say that, but ...... I'm a dark demon, and your divine buff sorcery will have the opposite effect on me!"
"Oh! I forgot!" Yenifa patted his head, how could he forget about this stubble? It seems that he really has no actual combat experience.
After lifting the effect of the Golden Stone Oath on Catherine's body, Yenifa had no choice but to tell Catherine: "Without my buff sorcery, then you should pay extra attention to your own safety!"
"Hmm!" Catherine nodded sharply with a hint of sweetness in her heart.
The two of them continued to go deeper and deeper into the mines, and the temperature became lower and lower along the way, until the apprentice's uniform had no effect at all, and the low temperature was beyond the temperature range that the uniform could adjust, but fortunately, Yenifa relied on the protective effect of the "Oath of Gold" to resist the cold, while Catherine used the dark magic energy to adapt herself to the cold air.
Soon, they saw two more corpses lying next to each other.
"Two more, it's still the knights of the viscount, it seems that those three knights have penetrated here......" Yenifa concluded after observing the corpse, "The murderer easily killed two knights, he did it a few days ago, and his current strength may not be to be underestimated......"
"Be careful!" Before Yenifa could finish speaking, Catherine suddenly exclaimed, and raised her hand to shoot out a "shadow ray".
The witchcraft of shadow rays is one of the most basic and commonly used witchcraft for wizards who major in the dark magic, it is powerful, the casting time is short, and it is not difficult to release it quickly with diligent practice, which is the best choice for dealing with many sudden dangers.
The shadow ray released by Catherine flew past Yenifa's ear, and with a "snap" it struck something not far behind Yenifa.
After the shadow ray hit the target, a dark demon energy suddenly escaped in the air, and it seemed that the enemy's attack in the dark was also dark, and the two were annihilated together after being concentrated by the shadow ray, so there would be an overflow of dark aura in the air.
"Since the other party is from the dark line, then it will be easy to do!" Yenifa took advantage of this gap to quickly sketch out a witchcraft template in his mind, "[Grip of Light]!"
A milky white translucent hand appeared in the void, and at once Yenifa held the whole person in the palm of the big hand, and the protection was tight.
With the dual protection of the "Golden Stone Oath" and the "Grip of Light", Yenifa suddenly had confidence in his heart, and turned around and pulled out the long sword behind him!
The enemy behind him was an ethereal shadow, and Yenifah's long sword was as fast as thunder, but in the face of this disembodied creature, the long sword slashed through the shadow as if it was cutting through the air, without causing any damage to the other party.
"Nothingness? Then it's not the Frost Wraith and the Frost Fury! It should be the Yin Spirit!" Even if it is a spirit, it is not completely immune to physical attacks, and only a spirit that has completely become a state of nothingness can completely ignore all physical contact.
"[Secondary Fire Bomb]!" Yenifa waved his hand and threw out a small fireball, the fireball emitted a fiery fluctuation, the light of the flames instantly illuminated the entire mine, and the high temperature instantly vaporized the surrounding ice into a large area of water vapor, making people feel a dangerous aura.
"[Shadow Ray]!" At the same time as Yenifa attacked, Catherine was also unequivocal, a powerful ray full of negative energy aura shot towards the shadow, and the fireball attacked left and right, straight towards the enemy in the void state!
