Chapter 80: The Magical Graveyard
When Han Shuo fell to the ground, he regained his footing, looked around, and found that it was a huge laboratory.
There were all kinds of containers inside, huge bones were placed everywhere, and on the wall next to it, a few faint green phosphorous lights illuminated the inside no longer completely dark.
There were also several rooms around, and when Han Shuo entered one room after another, he found that two of them were filled with books on all kinds of necromancy, including some magic books on dark magic. The magic books in it were all very ancient, covered with a lot of dust, and the collection of books inside was larger than the library of the dark department of the Babylon Demon Martial Academy, and many magic books were something Han Shuo had never heard of.
The other four rooms contained all kinds of magical materials, and the containers were sealed one by one, filled with colorful liquids, some strange bones and the teeth of sparkling and ferocious monsters.
Just as Han Shuo was looking around, the green ball he was holding in his hand suddenly bloomed with a dazzling green glow, and the light enveloped the entire laboratory, and a ghostly dark shadow suddenly revealed a ring-shaped magic symbol in the middle of the laboratory.
"My child, you are welcome, when you see this mirror image, I have returned to the earth, and to know everything about the graveyard of the dead, listen carefully to every word I say. ”
The dark shadows were thick, and neither the lights nor the light of the green spheres could make Han Shuo see his true face clearly, and with a dry voice, he spit out characters one by one with a little difficulty.
Han Shuo was startled, and immediately understood that this was a way for magicians to leave a message—mirror image. According to the meaning of his words, Han Shuo hurriedly concentrated and began to listen to every word he said.
"First of all, you have to know that the Graveyard of Death, in our time, was a sacred place for necromancers, symbolizing the pinnacle of necromance. The Graveyard of the Dead is movable, and as long as you can finally take control of everything here, you will find that you have a terrifying city......"
The faint voice kept telling, Han Shuo concentrated and listened to this voice slowly until a "You can still see me on the next floor" fell, and this dark shadow suddenly disappeared without a trace.
In addition to the large magic array above, the laboratory library on this floor, and the two floors below the graveyard of death. In order to fully grasp all the secrets of the Death Cemetery, there is no hope if you reach the lower two floors together. From the mouth of the dark shadow, Han Shuo understood that the Death Graveyard was actually a castle that could be moved, and it was also a castle with infinite power, which made Han Shuo very shocked.
The green orb, the equivalent of a key to the graveyard of death, contained the necromancer's evil spirit imprint. Except for necromancers with the aura of the undead, ordinary people who get this ball cannot escape the corrosion of the ball, and will eventually turn into an unconscious zombie.
Although Han Shuo was only a magic apprentice, he finally had the aura of an undead on his body, and fortunately he was not assimilated by the curse. But because his spiritual power is too weak, he rashly explores with his spiritual power, if it weren't for the help of his magic skills, I'm afraid it would be impossible to escape death.
The magical magic power was different from any kind of energy in this world, it actually helped Han Shuo, when the spiritual power invaded his brain, it unbelievably helped Han Shuo improve his mental power, and in the inhuman pain, Han Shuo repeatedly gained a huge harvest, which I am afraid the creator of the ball could not imagine.
From the narration of this dark shadow, Han Shuo received limited information, and it seemed that a more in-depth explanation existed in the two layers below. Han Shuo pondered silently for a moment before re-entering the room where the magic books were kept.
The magic book was the crystallization of undead magic, the product of the peak of undead magic, and these were priceless treasures for Han Shuo. The Babylon Demon Academy is already a very large school with a large collection of books, but there are not many books on necromancy that are really there, and many of them are only some basic and intermediate magic books, and there are very few more advanced necromancy books.
In the two rooms, flipping through the magic books that had been covered with thick dust, Han Shuo had to sigh that the magic books here were much higher in quality and quantity than the Babylon Demon Martial Academy.
Three of the magic books are called "Necro Magic", divided into three volumes, upper, middle and lower, and are placed in the most conspicuous place, these three books are obviously treated specially, and they are stored in a magic container, which still looks brand new, and it is estimated that it will not be damaged after tens of millions of years.
The "Necromantic Magic" in the previous volume alone was already very thick, and after opening it, Han Shuo found that the first volume had a detailed explanation from the origin of undead magic to the essence of necromancy, and the knowledge in it was very different from what was taught by the Babylon Demon Martial Academy, and some of the necromantic magic knowledge and magic recorded in it were many of which Han Shuo had never heard of before.
Starting with the middle volume, each page is interspersed with a codex with detailed notes on the page. However, it seemed that the three volumes were a whole, and when Han Shuo watched the middle volume and the second volume, even with the help of the Codex, he couldn't understand some of the knowledge inside.
Han Shuo could barely read and understand the first part of the previous volume, but unfortunately this volume did not have the help of codex annotations, which still made Han Shuo feel very difficult, perhaps the person who prepared this set of magic books thought that people who came could understand the previous volume without annotations at all, so they did not leave any explanation.
After thinking about it, Han Shuo had already decided to start with the first volume, intending to use this complete set of "Necromancy" as a teaching material, and slowly study and cultivate. With a determination to make up his mind, Han Shuo left from this layer with the orb and returned to it, unhindered by the enchantment, and then entered the study of this volume of magic without sleep or food.
For several days in a row, Han Shuo was holding this volume of "Necromancy", understanding every word and every sentence on it, word by word. From this set of "Undead Magic", Han Shuo understood that the magic knowledge he learned at the Babylon Demon Martial Academy, including some released magic, was much shallow compared to the above explanations, and there were many evil spells that Han Shuo could not know from Fanny.
"Corpse resurrection" is the most basic necromantic magic, which can directly turn dead people into zombies with undead magic, and start fighting according to the will of the caster, as long as the mental power is strong enough, you can resurrect the terrifying zombie army.
"Undead Skydome" is another kind of evil magic, as long as the "Undead Sky" is released, under the cover of the "Undead Sky", the combat effectiveness of dark creatures can be greatly improved, and the enemy will be very uncomfortable under the cover of the "Undead Sky", and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
There are several spells similar to "Resurrection of the Corpse" and "Necromancer's Skydome" in this volume alone, and these spells are said to have been lost for a long time, and there is no way for today's necromancers to master them. But in this volume of "Necromancy", there is a detailed record.
Han Shuo understood that he had picked up the supreme treasure this time, and if this volume of Necromancer Magic was circulated, it might be able to immediately change the status quo of the necromancer, so that the strength of the necromancer had been greatly improved, and the horror of the necromancer would reappear on the mainland.
After studying for nearly ten days in a row, during this process, Han Shuo either meditated or studied this volume of "Necromantic Magic", "Corpse Resurrection" is a kind of primary magic, but unfortunately without a corpse, Han Shuo cannot cultivate, "Undead Skydome" is already a high-level magic, and Han Shuo's spiritual power is not enough to cultivate.
However, through this period of cultivation, Han Shuo had mastered the magic of the bone spear, and even the magic of summoning zombies seemed to be about to be mastered, but when he communicated with different time and space, it was slightly hindered.
After calculating the time, it should be the time when the Demon Slaying Blade was completed, Han Shuo thought about it, and left the death graveyard first, and together with the little skeleton, carefully avoided some third-level and above demonic beasts, hunted some low-level demonic beasts with him, and walked towards the dwarven people's village again.
Halfway through, just as Han Shuo was about to enter the dwarven village, he heard the sound of weapons clashing. Han Shuo was startled, and his forward speed suddenly increased, shuttling through the bushes with the little skeleton, rushing straight to the source of the sound.
Dozens of ogres plus nearly a hundred goblins, armed with some weapons, are besieging the dwarves. The dwarves have brand-new weapons in their hands, and the weapons in their hands are much sharper than those used by ogres and goblins, especially the goblins still have some rudimentary knives, forks and clubs, and they are cut into several pieces when they are slashed with the dwarven weapons.
It is precisely because of the advanced weapons that the dwarves who are completely inferior in numbers have been able to resist until now. Not far behind them was the dwarven village, where there were women and children who were not able to fight, so they could not even retreat to the village for the sake of their safety, lest the village be exposed and endanger the safety of the women and children.
This kind of scene fell into Han Shuo's eyes, which made Han Shuo instantly angry, and the crossbow had already arrived in his hand during the run, and with the sound of several crossbow arrows breaking through the air, there was an ogre and two goblins who were shot to death. The little skeleton seemed to feel the anger in Han Shuo's heart, and the seven bone spurs in the back of the middle and back shot in all directions, and after a sharp roar sounded, blood lines flew out from the bodies of these ogres and goblins.
"Oh, it's Han, he's here!" Bennett held his hammer up, besieged by five or six goblins, and suddenly saw Han Shuo appear, and exclaimed in surprise.
Like a wolf entering a flock, the arrival of Han Shuo and the little skeleton instantly brought a lot of blood, especially the little skeleton was even more fierce, and seven bone spurs flew in the ogre and goblin group, causing a large number of casualties among the ogre and goblin.
After Han Shuo arrived, he first summoned several skeleton warriors, one by one with bone knives and rushed towards these villains first, but Han Shuo himself stayed where he was, shining on those dead ogres and goblins, and began to release the magic of "corpse resurrection".
After repeated failures, Han Shuo continued to chant magic spells again and again under the surprised gazes of the dwarves, trying to get these corpses that had just lost their lives to stand up again.
Eventually, an ugly goblin with a crossbow bolt stuck in his chest suddenly stood up under Han Shuo's spell release. Holding an iron rod and staggering to attack a living goblin next to him, after a successful experience, Han Shuo calmly recalled the steps he had just cast, and then re-released a "corpse resurrection" magic.
Succeeded again! This time an ogre. Then, under the release of Han Shuo's "corpse resurrection" magic, five or six more ogres and goblins stood up, raised their weapons, and began to attack the living ogres and goblins beside him according to Han Shuo's order.
After these ogres and goblins discovered this phenomenon, they immediately caused a strong panic to them, these ogres and goblins, seeing their dead companions, stood up blankly, and then attacked themselves with weapons, and the frightened souls scattered, and the remaining ogres and goblins pointed at Han Shuo in their own language and said a few words in panic, and fled to all directions one by one.
Even the dwarves next to him were a little frightened, and the gazes they looked at Han Shuo were very strange, a little different from usual. Han Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted, as soon as the magic spell was lifted, those dead ogres and goblins fell down again.
"Han, your magic is so evil, we're all a little scared when we see it!" Bennett walked over to Han Shuo, snorted, and said something like this.
Han Shuo knew in his heart that this kind of "corpse resurrection" magic was indeed very evil, and it was difficult for ordinary people to accept. After thinking about it, Han Shuo nodded and said, "Bennett, I understand what you mean, but I did this because I saved you. ”
"We know, thank you Han, but this kind of magic is really too hard to accept, and even the villains like ogres and goblins are scared by you. Hehe, let's go, your weapon is ready, we'll give it to you when you go back to the village!"
"Thank you so much!" Han Shuo was very surprised to hear that Demon Slayer was ready, and followed Bennett towards the dwarven village.
The seven bone spurs of the little skeleton returned to the backbone, and instead of going to the dwarf village with Han Shuo, he skillfully scraped the things on those dead according to Han Shuo's orders.
Following Calvin, Han Shuo came to the dwarven village, led by Bennett, to the place where the Demon Slayer was forged.
"Han, this is the weapon we built according to your request, do you think you can be satisfied?" the hammer in Bennett's hand pointed to the weapon next to him and said to Han Shuo.
The Demon Slaying Blade is two feet long, the blade is sharp and shining with a faint cold light, the whole body is dark brown, the tip is sharp like a three-edged army thorn, and it is very heavy to hold in the hand.
Han Shuo took the Demon Slaying Blade and looked at it carefully, and slammed into the whetstone below, and with a "poof", the Demon Slaying Blade sank into the whetstone.
Nodding, Han Shuo looked at Calvin who was a little apprehensive with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Elder, thank you for forging, I like this weapon very much." ”
"Hehe, as long as you like it, mixed with black iron and Ugin, plus a dozen kinds of rare metals, I am also very satisfied with this weapon. Kelvin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Demon Slayer and said.
"Look, maybe in the near future, ogres and goblins will appear. I'll leave for a while, and the next time I come over, I'll bring you food for the winter, so be careful yourself. ”
After telling these dwarves, Han Shuo couldn't wait to return to the death cemetery, urging the demonic power in his body, using the essence blood as an introduction to flow into the Demon Killing Blade, according to the memories left by Chu Canglan, he continued to forge the Demon Killing Blade for three days and three nights, halfway Han Shuo's Demon Yuan Power was mixed with the essence blood, and slowly flowed into the Demon Killing Blade.
After waiting for three days, Han Shuo was exhausted and felt that the Demon Yuan Power was somewhat depleted, but the Demon Killing Blade, which was originally dark brown, turned dark red all over. In the following days, after Han Shuo waited for the Demon Yuan Power to recover, he began to cultivate the "Demon Control Decision" with the Demon Killing Blade, trying to indulge the Demon Blade with his mind.
In this process, the meridians of Han Shuo's body were swollen and painful from time to time, relying on the huge impact of the waterfall, Han Shuo gritted his teeth and continued to refine the meridians of his whole body with the power of the Demon Yuan, and suddenly the whole person fell into a trance.
Before he knew it, Han Shuo woke up and found that he didn't know when, he had actually fallen into the deep pool. When Han Shuo came out of the icy pool of water, he suddenly found that the Demon Slayer was gone, and he was shocked and hurriedly wanted to retrieve the Demon Slayer Blade.
At this moment, a dark red light suddenly shot out from the waterhole, flying straight towards Han Shuo. Han Shuo originally thought that a dangerous attack was coming, and was about to dodge, but he found that an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart, as if there was some kind of connection with the dark red light that was shooting out.
First stunned for a moment, then an idea flashed through Han Shuo's mind, and Han Shuo's heart, who had suddenly awakened, moved, and the dark red light that shot out suddenly flew in the void with Han Shuo's mind, and then Han Shuo sensed a swimming fish in the deep pool, and an idea came to his mind, and that swimming fish was instantly pierced by the Demon Killing Blade.
"Looks like it should have been a success!" Han Shuo's left hand shot out of the water, and the Demon Slayer Blade shot out of the water, landing on Han Shuo's palm with a "whoosh".
Under the operation of the Demon Yuan Force, the speed of the "Xuan Ice Demon Flame Duel" was much faster than usual, Han Shuo was startled again, and then suddenly found that the Demon Killing Blade in his left hand was instilled by the Xuan Ice Qi, and a trace of cold qi leaked out, because the Demon Killing Blade was facing the deep pool, and a layer of ice had already appeared in the pool of cold air.
After the Demon Yuan Force circulated around his body, Han Shuo was surprised to find that after the Demon Yuan Power flowed, the speed was many times faster than usual. Any meridian in his body was like this, and there was no place where there was any sense of stagnation, which made Han Shuo excited.
Because he knows that this is a sign that he has broken through to the "Extension Pulse" and has reached the stage of "Soul Molding". Han Shuo was relieved to know that after several life-and-death struggles, and the non-sleepless cultivation of the Demon Skill in the past few days, he had finally broken through again.
Now that Han Shuo's magic skills have improved again, and the Demonic Treasure Killing Demon Blade has also arrived, Han Shuo feels that it is time to leave the Graveyard of Death and completely eradicate the threat of that Grover.
Walking out of the tomb in the back mountain, Han Shuo didn't immediately go to find Phoebe, but instead remembered Fanny. Han Shuo is in love with Fanny, and after the previous meeting, he originally planned to ask her for magic knowledge, but unfortunately because he got the black gold ore from Phoebe, he couldn't wait to return to the death cemetery.
In the first volume of "Necromantic Magic", there is a lot of knowledge that Han Shuo is not very clear, there is no annotation in this volume, as a high-level magician of the undead department, Phoebe should have a higher insight, all the questions that Han Shuo has already written down the questions that he does not understand, and he plans to take the opportunity to ask Phoebe again.
The Babylon Demon Martial Arts Academy has a high status in the Empire, and although Grover hates Han Shuo to the core, he doesn't dare to blatantly attack him in the academy. The strength of the teachers in each department is very powerful, in addition to the undead department, there are more powerful people in charge of other departments, even if the 'afterimage' killer comes, as long as he is found and wants to leave alive, it is basically impossible.
It's already evening, and after a day of studying, it's time to relax and eat. Han Shuo didn't go directly to the laboratory to find Fanny, for fear of attracting the attention of others, but waited for a while, until the sky was completely dark, and then he took advantage of the fact that people were unaware and walked towards the small building where Fanny lived.
Han Shuo had been in the Department of the Undead for so long, because he had a special admiration for Fanny, so he had naturally already inquired about Fanny's place of residence, and taking advantage of the quiet of night, Han Shuo was familiar with the direction and walked directly to the teacher's dormitory where Fanny lived.
