ACT024: City of the Dead

When Weis, who was drinking an energy drink, came to the deck and looked down, he was frightened by the dense "crowd" on the ground on the spot, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the drink fell, causing a roar, and I don't know if he was complaining about his lack of morality.

"Hey, that's a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"

"I guess it will be more exaggerated later, and the way they assemble is ...... Something is wrong. ”

In less than half an hour since Enterprise arrived over Nadal, the number of parasites around the city has doubled and continues to increase. To Kabbalah's surprise, there were a large number of parasites coming from other directions besides the direction they were coming from, and the airship was so noisy that it could not have gathered because of the sound or smell.

"Is there something directing these guys?" Kabbalah muttered to himself.

"It is indeed possible that there is one or even several commanders of these dead walkers, and in the first four outbreaks, some elves deduced their existence based on their actions, but the other party was very cunning and did not leave any traces to track. There have been elves who have tried to go deep underground to destroy their lairs, but not once. ”

Adele, who rushed to the deck later, answered Kabbalah's doubts, as the race that has been dealing with the dead walkers for the longest time, the elves know and value this creature far more than other races, while the dwarves have never had a disaster creature from the ground because of the thick and hard geological rock formations of the middle panzhou where they live.

"Did you expect this to happen?"

"I was worried, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. Based on previous records and inferences, the leader of the Necroacters appears to be very timid, too timid to even burrow into the ground. In the early days of the disaster, the Dead Walkers were uncommanded, and only when they reached a certain level of strength on the surface did these cunning creatures come to the front line to command. However, this is all just speculation, and what the truth is is still a mystery. ”

"I think it's better to think about how to go down than to think about the mysteries of the ages, because there's almost no place to stay. ”

Weiss pointed to the increasingly dense group of parasites below, the scene was more spectacular than any zombie movie he had seen in his previous life, and at this time, Ling Lan, who had been lying on the railing and looking at the silence below, raised his head and said to everyone present.

"How about we try to divert the tigers away from the mountain and lure them away?"

“......”xn

"What's wrong with you? All of a sudden, you don't speak. ”

"Yes, a little unexpected......"

It wasn't too high-end tactics, but when it came out of Ling Lan's mouth, Wess and the others were still surprised. After getting along with this natural girl for a while, everyone has a certain degree of understanding of the extent of her disconnection, and Weiss was almost beaten by the other party because of a hot-blooded comic. Therefore, when the other party suddenly said that he had the surname Jian, it was not difficult to understand everyone's surprise.

"How about trying it? Maybe it will work. ”

Since you want to divert the tiger away from the mountain, you need someone to act as a bait to seduce the "tiger", and the enterprising number with a big enough goal is suitable for this. After everyone got their equipment ready, Kabbalah first used the magic element to create a large thick fog that covered the entire airship, and then he levitated with the three chess piece owners who were about to land, while the Enterprise flew out of the thick fog to attract the attention of the parasites below.

"Good luck to you! Brothers get ready to!"

"Oh!!" xn

Carrying this group of high-spirited dwarven mercenaries, the Enterprise flew out of the dense fog, and then began to pour fire on the dense enemy on the ground, the pus of the explosion scattered in all directions, and the badly hit corpse parasites angrily chased the airship, running towards the south of the city, far away from the temple. When the tide-like parasites ran away, the cloud-like fog in the air drifted headwind toward the temple west of the city.

"Wright, Scardo, they should be fine, right?"

"What can they do in the sky against an enemy who can't fight back? It's those of us who are going to land. ”

Under the cover of the mist, the four of them floated above the temple. Kabbalah sneaked out to take a look, only to find that there were still a large number of parasites around the temple, they were not attracted by the Enterprise, but guarded the temple like guards, and even some parasites were wielding rudimentary tools to try to destroy the outer walls of the temple. However, most of the temples built during the Elven era had the function of a refuge, so they were exceptionally strong.

"It seems that these guys have a higher IQ than expected, and they even know about destroying the temple. ”

The situation was not as optimistic as expected, and the four of them briefly discussed it and decided to break in. At this time, the weather is sunny and there is no bad weather to affect Kabbalah's performance, which is a good time for the "Fa Ye" to exert his power.

"I'll open a passage for you later, remember to move quickly when you go down!" Kabbalah said taking a deep breath, then clasped his fingers and closed his eyes.

As a veteran with more than 30 years of experience, Kabbalah has more than ten types of large-area killing magic alone, and one of them is exactly the right fit for the task at hand. With the urging of his mind, the magic elements in the air quickly became active, and Adele, who had the qualification of a magician, could clearly sense that the caste of the surrounding magic elements was constantly changing into the fire genus, and Wei Si and Ling Lan also found that the temperature was getting higher and higher.

"Miss Adele, can you tell what kind of magic this is?" asked Wess as he looked to Adele to the side.

"I didn't know what he was using until I saw the actual results. ”

Most of the time, mages in this world don't need to chant long and complex spells, and only complex ones like the "Exchange Circle" with a mystical surname are available. The scale and type of general spells are only related to the caster's own elemental affinity and conceptual thinking, and the more good at brain supplementation, the more wonderful and varied the spells can be cast. And the same spell, cast by different people, will have different effects.

Take the most commonly used "fireball" as an example, this spell can only be regarded as the simplest condensation of magical elements, and it can be said that there is no technical content at all. But some people's fireballs are condensed and are super large, some are super hot, some are thrown out and fly too far, and even more, because they have a higher affinity for the soil surname, they directly make a handful of magma out.

Because almost everyone is using their own exclusive "custom magic", the magic system of this world presents a chaotic state, and most of the so-called "magic books" are the notes of famous masters, and no matter how shrewd and excellent teachers are, there is no way to teach disciples who can use exactly the same magic as themselves.

It didn't take long for Kabbalah's spell to take shape, and six scorching aura of fire elementals surrounded him, vaporizing the mist. The four of them, who had lost their shelter, were immediately spotted by the parasites on the ground.

"Eat me a 'money eye'!"

In line with the goblin's usual vulgar naming habits, Kabbalah made his AOE move, which looks like "tyrant and cool", full of "rustic flavor" with just three words. But no matter how bad the name of this trick is, its effect is quite outstanding!

With a wave of Kabbalah's raised hand, the six golden auras all smashed to the ground. In the process of falling, the diameter of these auras rapidly expanded by hundreds of times, and after landing, it seemed to weigh tens of millions of catties, and the ground collapsed. The fire elemental then turned the land enveloped in the aura into a vast pool of magma, and the parasites that fell into it and the corpses on their backs were all reduced to ashes.

"Whew~! done!" Kabbalah sweated, very satisfied with his masterpiece.

"You're a tiger, haven't you? I've never seen a violent spell in Baker City. ”

"Tsk, don't compare the old man to those scum who can only rub fireballs, I'm a skilled one!"

"It would be even more perfect if the name of the move could be given a normal point. ”

"The old man is just like this, can you take care of it!?" shook Weiss a "what can you do with me" squint eyes, the principle of life is "money first" Kabbalah said, I lost money from the bottom of my heart!

"Alright, let's hurry. Master, please put us down. ”

"No problem, let's go!"

Scratching the bag and snapping his fingers, Weiss and the others suddenly felt their bodies sinking, fell down with a "whoosh", slowed down before they were about to touch the ground, and fell lightly to the ground. Several large magma pools around them were emitting a wave of heat, and the semi-enclosed arrangement completely blocked the main entrance of the temple, and unless those parasites could leap a distance of hundreds of meters, they could only make a detour from the other side to buy Weiss a certain amount of time.

"Cover me up on the roof!"

The three of them quickly cleaned up the remaining parasites in the circle, and Adele jumped up, jumped onto Ling Lan's spear, and flew directly onto the high roof of the temple with the help of the powerful thrust of the opponent's spear. At the top of the rounded temple was a white stone pavilion with a stone platform engraved with runes, and Adele quickly ran to the stone platform, inserted the crystal staff into the countertop, and then opened the secret door on one side and drilled into the temple.

"Wright, shall we go into the temple as well?"

"Let's just guard this gate. ”

"I don't think it's difficult, except that the smell is a little unpleasant. Shaking the slime on the tip of the gun, Ling Lan looked relaxed.

"I hope so. ”

As long as Adele activates the temple's dispersal technique and releases white light to drive the bugs back underneath, their mission will be completed. But there is a big premise, so there must be no more accidents! Therefore, Weiss couldn't help but pray silently in his heart, hoping that the great god of doom would never pick such a time to show his incomparably strong "sense of existence".

And perhaps they had heard Wes's prayer, and as the two of them were cautiously guarding their surroundings, a heavy footstep suddenly came from the temple gate behind them......
