Chapter 201: The Lich
Gong Piqing and his party didn't expect that the gray-robed man had obviously agreed to take them to the dark wizard, but in the end he brought them into the humble church in front of them.
As soon as they walked into the church, they begged for the refugees, their suits constantly translating the refugees' words, but all they said were things like "give me something to eat" and "help me".
But the smell here can make some people who are not strong enough to collapse directly, the air is still filled with a strong smell of burning, plus there are a lot of hunted animals piled up in the corner at the end of the church, so that some team members just came in and directly called out the head protection function of the suit, they don't understand what the gray robe man meant by bringing them here, could it be that he wants to use the smell here to persuade them to retreat?
But finding the dark wizard is Gong Piqing's decision, and as long as Gong Piqing does not give an order, they have to carry out this "charity mission" to the end.
"Dear visitors from other lands, the dark wizard is a villager in our village, he has great powers of black magic, and he often uses these black magic to help some people, but he has set a rule that he does not see anyone during the day, and anyone who violates this rule will be punished by him, you ...... Are you sure you want to go to him? A gray-robed man led the team to the pile of prey inside the church and asked, with a pungent scent.
"Yes, sure, thanks, but where is he?" A few seconds later, the voice of Gong Piqing came from inside the suit.
Although the automatic translation function in their suits is easy to use, the translation needs to be delayed, that is, after the other party finishes speaking, the suits need to translate the master's words into the language of the demon world before releasing them, which causes their conversations to always be half a beat slower, if they encounter some urgent or urgent people, it will seem that they are very stupid, and the whole team looks awkward, without a bit of deterrence, but fortunately, these gray-robed people seem to be very patient, and there is no problem in communicating with them.
Then, the gray-robed man walked to the wall, stood on tiptoe and pulled down a black iron candlestick hanging on the wall, when they came in, no one expected that it would be a mechanism, but as the black iron candlestick was pulled down, the sound of the operation of the mechanism and the friction between the stone slabs were heard in the church.
They searched for prestige, but found that the voices came from the wooden podium of the church, no one expected that there was a secret door under the wooden podium that looked like it was about to rot, and under the secret door was a very narrow and narrow descending staircase, this staircase was so narrow that even some slightly fatter people could not get in, and in the entire team, I am afraid that only Zhang Yuemei herself could walk in it perfectly, and the others would more or less rub the walls on both sides and even maintain the posture of tucking their hips and abdomen to squeeze in.
"Please, guests, the Dark Wizard may be open to outsiders, but I also kindly remind you once again that the Dark Wizard is actually a good man, and the death of this young man today was an accident." The gray-robed man said like an old aunt with a mother-in-law.
"Okay, thanks for the reminder." After Gong Piqing finished speaking, he looked at the team members who didn't know where to put the salute.
If they were to all go down with their luggage, I am afraid that only Gong Piqing and Zhang Yuemei would be able to go down in the whole team, especially the team member with the total backpack, and even looked at the ceiling, as if he wanted to hang the total backpack on the roof.
"Our luggage ......," Gong Piqing pointed to the big bags on the team members helplessly.
"If the guests can trust us, they can leave their luggage here, and we will send someone to guard it so that the bad guys don't let the bad guys touch the guests' luggage." As he spoke, the gray-robed man took out a dirty-looking carpet from the side of the podium, but it was cleaner than the carpet under the refugees, and spread it next to the podium.
The team members looked at each other, and finally their eyes focused on Gong Piqing.
Their backpacks were filled with their household items, including folding tents for the night, carpets, food and water, and tinder, which seemed harmless without any of them, but if they were lost, their tasks would be much more difficult.
But Gong Piqing motioned with his eyes to put their backpacks on the blanket, and the team members hesitated for a moment, and then untied their backpacks and put them on; The church seemed to be much quieter, and the refugees were not clamoring for food, but were watching them and their backpacks as if they were looking at a group of aliens.
But Gong Piqing didn't say much, after all the luggage was put down, he was the first to get into the secret passage under the podium, and Zhang Yuemei and the other team members followed closely behind him, like a group of rats in a rat hole.
The air inside the tunnel is much "fresher" than outside, but even then there is a strong musty smell, because the light is dim, and their suit goggles are automatically turned on for night vision; At the end of the staircase was a corridor about fifteen or sixteen meters long, with many compartments on both sides of the corridor, and the compartments were separated from the corridor by barbed wire, and inside were something like crucibles.
At the end of the corridor was a black wooden door carved with uncomfortable-looking patterns, presumably the Dark Wizard's quarters.
The members of the team all knew that living in the room at the end of the corridor was a sign of bad luck, and they couldn't read if the symbols on the door had some effect on warding off evil spirits, but when they entered this corridor, an invisible sense of depression appeared on everyone's body, if it weren't for the night vision function of their suits, I am afraid that this place would be pitch black......
But when they hadn't walked to the door, a sudden hoarse scream from the front scared all of them to take a step back, and Gong Piqing, who was walking in the front, was directly frightened and retreated into Zhang Yuemei's arms, and then, they saw that the black cat lying in the barbed wire was looking at them with fierce eyes, the black cat was a rare black cat with different eyes, and the two eyes showed different colors in the night vision device, like two night pearls, but the cat was not very good-looking, The black hairs all over his body stood up, and his teeth grinned as if to warn them, and his outstretched claws emitted a cold light in the pitch black environment, like a weapon capable of killing people.
"...... This dark wizard is really a strange species, how can he be unlucky, is this to deliberately fight against these dirty things to improve his skills? One of the team members was so frightened by the cat meow just now that he didn't come back to his senses, and complained as if he had emboldened himself.
"Don't swear, we're going against other people's schedules." Gong Piqing reminded in front, then walked forward again, and finally stood in front of the black door, and when he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, there was a creaking sound from inside the door, and the wooden door opened a crack by itself.
Gong Piqing hesitated for a moment, but finally knocked on his hand, even if the dark wizard did not have the habit of locking the door, or if the dark wizard had already known that they would come to visit and deliberately left the door for them, he had to knock symbolically to show courtesy; And if this had been left to the psychotic side of the old one, I am afraid that they would have to boil the oil and prepare for dinner to eat the black cat that scared them all half to death.
With a piercing "squeak" sound from the wooden door, Gong Piqing led the team members into it, which was like a dazzling toy store full of all kinds of small objects, but these small objects were not toys, some were lizard-like animals that had been made into specimens, some were skulls, and some were similar to the bone structure of human hand bones, these things were placed irregularly, even on the ground, presumably this dark wizard was not a particular person.
They originally thought that after this time period came, they would see the dark wizard lying on the bed and sleeping, but they didn't expect that in the innermost part of the room, a guy in a black robe was sitting cross-legged on a blanket, in front of the blanket was a large crucible, in the crucible was some mysterious liquid, the liquid was undergoing a mysterious chemical reaction, and the smoke generated rose up, forming a smoke screen like a display screen in the air.
And when the team members saw the picture in the smoke screen, everyone also had a great fear in their hearts, because the picture on it was the dark wizard fighting some people, and the people who fought the dark wizard were actually them......
