Chapter 11: Treasure of the Dead
A gust of wind blew, and the girl returned to the state of the magic sword again. Takizawa's strength was greatly reduced after the seal of the magic sword was forcibly lifted, and his previous injuries were aggravated again. Fortunately, there is the cheating skill of devouring magic, coupled with the physique of the high-level demon itself, the injury began to repair at a speed visible to the naked eye, but because of the overload of power, Takizawa's strength within a week was only the strength of the mid-level demon to reach the peak, but fortunately, with the special effect blessing of the magic sword, as long as it was unexpected, it could still fight with the demon in the early stage of the high level.
"Brother, why are you so stupid to attack for this woman you don't know, and you are so seriously injured because of it. Seeing the end of the battle, Alice hurriedly ran from the bushes to Takizawa's side, letting Takizawa lean against her chest.
"Little fool, do you really think my brother would be so stupid? If you look at the pattern on the necklace on the woman's breast, which is exactly the same as the relic of her mother that my father gave us, I think she must know something about her mother. So I must not let her die. Takizawa whispered in Alice's ear. Alice listened and turned her gaze to the necklace on the beautiful woman's chest, and sure enough, the pattern on it was exactly the same as the one on the relic. (If Takizawa had encountered this after getting the Book of Death, he would never have done it, after all, he might not be alive, but it would be good to be reincarnated through necromancy, and absolute loyalty would be guaranteed.) )
Then, Takizawa took out the dark crystal accessory from the clothes on his chest with difficulty and threw it to the beautiful girl opposite him, and asked, "Do you know what this thing is?"
The girl looked at her in surprise and said: "This accessory is something I love the mother of the Radred family, how can you have it, but she has been missing for a long time, and her life and death are still unknown, what is your relationship with her!?"
"It's exactly what I guessed. But according to what you said, then you still have to call me a young master, but I can tell you the bad news, my mother died more than ten years ago. By the way, what's your name, and why did you form an adventure party with those people to come here? ”
"My name is Andrea, I am the daughter of the chief of the guard of the Edlaide family, and I came out this time to find a Capricorn spirit to treat my father, because my strength is only in the early stage of the high level, and I will not be the opponent of the Capricorn Beast at all [Capricorn Beast, most of the existing Capricorn Beasts are only the descendants of the ancient Capricorn Beasts, and their strength is not very strong, but the adult Capricorn Beasts still have the power of the peak of the late stage of the high-level demons, and they are highly poisonous, and they can also use water magic. ], so in desperation, an adventurous team was recruited, but I didn't expect them to turn back so quickly, this time thanks to your help, now it seems that you are also injured, and since you are the son of the main mother, then go back to Edlaide with me, by the way, I haven't asked what your name is. ”
"My name is Takizawa, and my injuries are not too big of a problem, but at the moment I have something to do, and I can't go back with you yet, and as for our identities, please don't reveal them to others, while encountering unnecessary trouble, and then ask Haosheng to take care of my sister, and I'll go back to you in January." Then he turned his head and said to Alice: "Sister, you go to Edlaide with Sister Andrea first, and I will pick you up in a month, take good care of yourself." ”
"Well, I listen to my brother in everything, my brother must pay attention to safety, don't get hurt so badly, I will be sad. As she spoke, Alice's eyes turned red.
"Little fool, I'll be fine, I'll see you in a month. Takizawa wiped tears from Alice's eyes, then stood up, bowed to Andrea in a gesture of respect and friendliness, and then turned and walked deeper into the woods.
The reason why he wants to leave is that the first is to get the Book of Necromancy, and the second is that the breath of the magic sword has been noticed by some strong people, such as the Emperor of the Undead in the Demon Capital, who will definitely come to Takizawa, Alice is very unsafe by his side, and the Edleide family may also be implicated. And the reason why the agreed time is a month later is because Takizawa needs to study the contents of the Book of Death carefully, and it will take a lot of time to digest the power and memory of Laval in it. (The reason why Goodbyer's meeting is much shorter is mainly because Takizawa's empty body can instantly hold a large amount of magic power, but now that the capacity is almost full, it naturally takes a lot of time.) )
The reason why Takizawa believes Andrea is, firstly, that she has nothing to hide and be bad when Takizawa observes her heart through mind reading. Second: The Edlaide family has a lot of power in the Santugawa region, and they have enough ability to take care of Alice's safety.
The Book of the Dead is hidden in a swamp in the forest not far away, and I can roughly remember that there are a lot of treasures buried with it, but the most valuable thing besides the Book of the Dead is the research materials and some sleeping undead lifeforms. If you can enslave the creatures in it, then you have a good squad. However, many of the memories of the rest of the book are missing, and can only be replenished by the Book of Death, which draws on the remnants of the Lord of Death, Raval.
Because of the weakening of his own strength, Takizawa simply slowed down and spent a lot of time devouring all the resources around him that could be used. However, the extreme absorption of the power of one place will lead to natural mutation and destruction, and it will not be fun to attract the dissatisfaction and opposition of the druids when the time comes. (Druid, the mage of the Demon Elf clan is also a powerful warrior, and his combat power after beastification is comparable to the mid-peak of high-level demons, and the great patriarch of it has the strength of the late peak of the lord level, and he can become a great lord if he goes one step further.) [To add here, Takizawa's mother's name is Egnes, and she belongs to the blood clan, which is the so-called vampire clan, with a near-eternal life, and because she has the meaning demon bloodline, she is almost unaffected by sunlight and is not afraid of silver. (Generally silver is a deadly and highly toxic substance for werewolves and vampires)])
Originally a one-and-a-half-day journey, Takizawa spent six days. Now he was in a swamp, filled with the smell of rotting corpses and a rich miasma, but this had no effect on Takizawa in the slightest. And in this swamp, it seems to be calm, but there is a hidden murderous intention. Sure enough, Takizawa threw a little owl beast that he had caught in advance, and in an instant, several huge giant worms flew out of the swamp, the surface of the worm was covered with the rest of the parasites, and there were several huge mouths on the surface, and the jagged teeth in the mouth were densely packed in a circle, and from time to time there was a yellow mucus containing a disgusting gas. It's chilling, but more of a disgusting thing. In an instant, the worm ate the beast with only a skeleton and sank into the swamp quagmire. The two worms are the product of a combination of undead magic and shadow power, and are carrion plague worms with powerful vitality and attack power.
But, no matter what, for the sake of the Book of Death and Alice's future, Takizawa will definitely not back down.
