Chapter 452: Dungeon Statues, Corpses Walking
Near the entrance to the dungeon, the statue of Francis stands in place.
He didn't get angry, he didn't roar, he didn't thunder.
After a brief moment of shock and stunnedness, he smiled with a rare warmth.
"My child, you've grown up~
I have heard your voice and seen your shadow......"
Francis lowered his head and his voice was full of love, "Are you thirsting for strength, my child?" ”
He stretched out his right hand, and a pitch-black light rose from his palm, quickly condensing into a thumb-sized ball.
This black crystal seemed to contain extremely powerful power, and the surrounding void faintly twisted and rippled, as if it was about to be torn apart.
Francis lifted the black ball up, watching the black streamers wrap around and flow on the surface of the crystal ball, as if alive, let out a whimper, and finally turned into a wisp of smoke, completely integrated into Francis's palm.
In the next second, Francis's figure disappeared into thin air, as if it had never appeared.
……
Underneath the darkness, Aldra's body slowly shrunk, eventually transforming into a female wizard in her twenties, dressed in a black power suit.
She stood next to Leon, looking around blankly, as if she was a little uncomfortable with the new environment.
"This is what you call a 'burial chamber'?"
Leon pursed the corners of his lips and walked towards the underground stone wall.
The stone walls are covered with cobweb-like cracks and craters, like tunnels or caverns dug by some kind of monster.
Li Ang pushed the door and entered, and found countless corpses piled up in the corridor behind the wall, with stumps and broken arms, and blurred flesh and blood, and the tragic picture was shocking.
In addition to this, he saw a mutilated skeleton lying in the passage, like a herd of pigs and sheep that had just been dissected from the slaughterhouse.
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "I remember that goblins are also quite good at digging graves, and your ancestor is a professional." ”
"Goblins are just an ancient magical material, we magicians use wands and can summon devils and undead servants, but we don't make these things."
Aldra frowned and added, "But I've heard of goblins and dragons. ”
"Huh? You mean, the legendary beasts with divine powers that can destroy the world? ”
Li Ang was surprised: "Aren't they extinct?" ”
"My friend, dragons live much longer than humans, especially the dragon royal clan - they live at least three times as long each year as the average human."
Aldra paused, "During my time on Earth, I would occasionally go on ocean expeditions and encounter a colony of giant dolphins on an island with a very gifted IQ.
The dolphins showed me their wings, teeth, and tail, as well as ...... A peculiar spell.
I spent most of my life studying that magic, and finally found out that it was a magic called the Dragon Flying Charm.
As long as you cast the Dragon Flying Charm, you can make the dragon soar nine days away, roam the stars, chase the sun and the moon, unrestrained, and immortal.
However, due to the high cost of casting spells, the caster often dies due to the depletion of mana, so the dragons choose to seal it and never use it again.
Unexpectedly, you actually learned this spell? ”
"Uh, don't mention it."
Leon said bitterly, "I only woke up a little memory of the dragon, but I didn't understand what a dragon was, so I could only barely learn the Flying Charm.
And I have no way to control the range of the dragon's flight, so I can only choose a random direction to escape, and keep changing directions. ”
Aldera nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head again.
The two of them walked out of the dungeon one after the other, and followed the gloomy passage to the depths of a long corridor.
There are many tombs, densely packed and neatly arranged, with humans and dwarves, and even gnomes, ogres, and goblins.
"This is my hometown."
"We in the Lich Kingdom are a kingdom that worships death, and we believe that the dead can attain eternal life;
In the same way, we have a deep understanding of the undead and curses, and we are willing to put them into practice by collecting all kinds of undead.
These tombs are home to a large number of evil creatures from the abyss and hell underground.
When they die, they are so angry that they wander peacefully in the plaza and subway cars in the middle of the tombs, and even the Lich King can't overtake them.
However, our lich's magic can project the will of the dead into the catacombs for us to drive - much less trouble.
This place is called the Tower of Hell. ”
Aldera glanced up and continued:
"Our ancestors once tried to conquer this land, to rule over the human states and city-states of this land, and to make puppet soldiers using slaves and artisans.
But...... These plans failed, and the ancestors not only failed to achieve their goals, but instead lured the wolves into the house and provoked more enemies.
After the death of the Patriarch in battle, the Tower of Hell was overrun by a group of greedy villains.
The villains built tombs, built altars, forged weapons and armor, and alchemical golems in an attempt to conquer the underground tombs and claim the wealth and treasures left behind by the wizards.
These tombs, houses, and altars provided a defensive system to prevent the attack.
The villains tried for a long time, but they still couldn't break through the defensive line, so they had to abandon this plan.
But among these tombs, there is a very important place that has been coveted by the villains for a long time. ”
"Underground castle?"
"That's right, it's at the lowest level of the underground castle, which is the most core area."
Aldra turned his head and stared at Leon, "I know that there must be a great wizard buried in this dungeon, and his legacy and magical texts must be extremely rich!"
I would like to invite you to help me find that legacy, and if there are any such things, I will definitely thank you. ”
"Wait, you still wanted to kill me just now......" Li Ang's face twitched, and he asked, "Why did you change your mind again now?" ”
"Because I've figured it out."
Aldra sighed and said, "The feud between me and you has long been settled, and your strength is strong enough for me to befriend.
I have decided to give up my hatred for you and consider you a friend. ”
"This doesn't work, does it? Didn't you say that we are fateful opponents? Li Ang spread out his hands, "If I remember my old memories one day, wouldn't I be cruel to you?" ”
"You'll remember."
Aldra smiled eerily, "You're going to be honest with me. ”
She waved her wings and flew high into the air, "It's so hot in the catacombs, I'm going to get out of this damn place and get some air." ”
Leon shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I'll go out for a walk too." ”
The Tower of Hell is divided into several levels, with portals every 100 meters connecting the different places.
