Chapter 1076: Bait (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The 1076th Octopus Bait (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The gray-black fog seemed to be solid, blocking the two of them around.
Even with Lorraine's 2.1 vision, he could only see five or six meters to the left and right, and beyond that, there was a gray color.
Under the gray mist, it was as if the whole world had lost its color. It makes people feel depressed involuntarily.
Lorraine couldn't help but curse in his heart, these dry wood sticks are quite good at this.
He came in this time to take the opportunity to feel the enemy's strength and situation.
Of all of them, he was the only one who had experience dealing with the Lich, and if he had the pleasure of sending someone in, he would have served the Lich with food.
If you send a powerful red-clothed lord 1076 octopus bait (asking for a monthly pass) to teach or something, in case the lich sneaks up, the loss will be great.
And if he scares the lich away, he will go back to another place to make trouble, and the loss will be greater.
Therefore, in this case, only the lord is the best candidate.
Like a bait, it's not too big to scare the enemy away, and not too small to be swallowed by the fish.
However, under this fog, it is really irritating to not be able to see anything clearly.
He reached out and pulled Vera next to him, and said, "How far can you see?"
Vera blinked her watery eyes, looked around, and said, "Probably, twenty or thirty feet away." β
Lorraine raised her eyebrows unconsciously, Vera's eyesight could see clearly in the dark of night, but she couldn't use it here.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you dispel the smoke here?"
Vera didn't speak, but stretched out her fair hand and made a gesture in the air like a dance.
Then a violent whirlwind flew behind Lorraine.
The wind swirled around Lorraine and Vera in a gray mist, and the wind blew all gray mist, drifting back and forth around, the 1076th octopus bait (asking for a monthly pass) but the fog around it did not fade at all.
Seeing this, Vera couldn't help frowning, took half a step forward, raised her hands above her head, and formed a semicircle, at the same time, she muttered dissatisfiedly and whispered a mantra, increasing her strength.
The wind became stronger and stronger, blowing Lorraine and Vera's clothes and dancing wildly, Vera's long sea-blue hair fluttering in the wind, and the whole person looked like a battle goddess.
Vera is heroic and cool, and Lorraine is pleasing to the eye. Especially Vera's long skirt swayed wildly in the wind, revealing the slender and crystal ** that was originally covered.
Vera turned her head and saw that Lorraine was a little distracted, and couldn't help but look sideways at him. There was a hint of confusion in the pure watery eyes.
Lorraine couldn't help but laugh dryly, then looked around warily. He didn't want Vera to be attacked by the Lich while casting spells.
The wind blew away the fog in front of him, but in an instant it was filled with the mist that came up from the sideβthe wind had no effect at all.
Vera stopped her hand, wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, shook her head helplessly, and said, "The fog is very strange, it is like jelly, it is bound to the ground by something. There is no way to dispel this restraint unless it is released. β
Lorraine nodded and said, "Ken Point was made by the lich, it depends that I have to deal with him first, let's go." β
As he spoke, he pulled the bolt hard, and he heard a 'click', and the bullet had been pushed onto the chamber.
Lorraine pulled Vera and cautiously groped her way down the street.
Vera was disgusted by the fog, and clutched Lorraine's clothes by the corners, following him, looking around with the same care.
As the two of them walked slowly, the object in front of them came into view, and gradually became clear.
I saw all kinds of miscellaneous items scattered on the street, wooden barrels, baskets, vegetables, clothes...... and so on, and occasionally children's toys, which shows the chaotic situation when the common people fled at that time.
The houses on the street have been completely burned down, the roofs have been burned off in the fire, many of the walls have collapsed, and some of the houses are still smoking in the black ashes inside.
A dozen steps further, at an intersection, Lorraine saw the first deceased.
One...... Well, a humanoid thing was lying motionless on the ground, and there was nothing else around, which was very eye-catching.
It can be seen that it is a human corpse because the outline of the head and limbs of the corpse is still there, and the clothes of the deceased before his death are generally intact.
But for some unknown reason, the corpse swelled up like a balloon that had been blown up, and both the head and the limbs were incomprehensibly inflated.
Vera only glanced at it, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on her body, "Ah" exclaimed, and hurriedly shrank behind Lorraine, grabbing Lorraine's clothes with both hands, and her forehead was pressed against Lorraine's back, refusing to come out.
Lorraine was sick to her stomach when she watched this thing, let alone Miss Vera, who was still a young girl.
Lorraine patted Vera's hand, and said, "Why don't you wait here now, I'll go over and take a look." β
Vera thought for a moment, glanced around with big round eyes, and then shook her head decisively: "Uh-huh...... Don't~!"
Although it was terrible to have such a thing on the road, as soon as Lorraine left, she was left alone, and that situation seemed to be a little more terrifying.
In desperation, Lorraine dragged Vera behind her, cautiously walked to the side of the corpse, and then squatted down.
Vera also maintained this position and lay on Lorraine's back, poking her head out of Lorraine's shoulder to glance at it, and quickly retracted it.
Lorraine looked closely.
I saw that the corpse was highly decomposed, the head was as big as a basketball, and the facial features of the face had long since disappeared, revealing only black or miserable white pieces of flesh, from which a disgusting liquid flowed.
"Sword~!" Lorraine thought for a moment and raised her hand over her shoulder.
A long sword came out from behind and thrust into Lorraine's hand.
"It's good to have a beautiful female secretary with you," Lorraine sighed to herself, holding the sword in her hand and stretching out her hand to stab the corpse on the ground.
He was eager to see what the lich had done to the corpse...... Far away from Lorraine and Vera, the lich, whose whole body had been transformed into a skeleton, floated in the air, and his two eyes were glowing with a little phosphorescence, watching Lorraine's movements intently.
The gray mist didn't affect the lich's vision, and seeing Lorraine holding her weapon and preparing to pierce the corpse, the lich's skull opened its mouth and let out a few hollow laughs, and the green light in its eyes became wide.
"Tie it, tie it up. The lich's raspy voice rang out, "It's ridiculous that we could have killed this guy with a little trick, and that we had paid so much in the first place." β
The Lich suddenly remembered the great chase, in which they lost a large number of their comrades, and even the Undead High Priest was wounded by the sneak attack for the first time in a thousand years.
Causing a huge impact among the dark mages, the undead high priest who is like a god in their minds can even be injured by humans~!
In that operation, despite the huge cost, they ended up in vain and became a laughing stock.
The lich said to himself: Maybe the problem is the arrangement of the high priest, maybe it shouldn't have been done in the first place......
"No, no, no~!" the lich hurriedly shook his head and muttered to himself, "I can't doubt the High Priest, the High Priest is always right. If I can't read it, it's because I'm not smart enough, well, it must be like this......"
The lich remembered the most famous words of the High Priest of the Dead: "The sin of the mind is the most terrible."
The lich shook his head, threw out what he thought was sinful, looked up at Lorraine in the distance, was stunned for a moment, and said to himself, "Why doesn't this guy do it?"
Just as the sword was about to stab the corpse, Lorraine stopped.
He looked around, but there was a dead silence and no sound.
Lorraine quietly poked Vera behind her and asked in a low voice, "Is there any movement?"
Vera honestly shook her head and said, "No, I didn't hear anything." β
Lorraine sighed in disappointment, then patted her clothes and stood up.
He pulled Vera back a dozen steps, then pulled out the pistol at his waist, stood still, raised the gun, pulled the hammer, pulled the trigger, and the whole action was done in one go.
There was a muffled "bang", and the bullet accurately hit the corpse on the ground, and in an instant, the corpse on the ground exploded like a bomb.
There was a loud bang, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the explosion blew a mess near the corpse. The debris of the explosion splashed on the pavement, and the liquid splashed on the ground, emitting green smoke of corrosion.
"Huh~!" Lorraine was dumbfounded, and exclaimed. secretly said in his heart: This undead thing is really powerful, if he really suffers from this, it is estimated that he will not be able to stand it.
However, these guys are also a little too idiotic, do they really think that this blessed knight is fake?
When the gentlemen played with the big pineapple, the best thing they used was the necromancer. And under various difficulties, he pushed down the famous demon god a hundred times, a hundred times.
There was a strange corpse on the street, which was simply a clear warning that there was something wrong with it.
Lorraine said to Vera, "This lich really doesn't have enough brains. β
The lichs were literally rusty, and they had all the mana and resentment left in them. Even if the IQ is sufficient, the EQ is obviously insufficient.
Vera looked at the green smoke and smiled reluctantly.
Although she is a little pure and delicate by nature, she is also a girl, and she also has a love for beauty, thinking that if those liquids are a little bit on her ...... Uh, on top of her gold coins or jewelry...... I immediately felt a burst of worry.
"Let's go, see this thing walk around again. Lorraine slowly felt towards the center of the harbor.
As I walked along the way, I saw that the neighborhood was almost like a nuclear bomb attack, and it was full of ruins.
But to Lorraine's surprise, since she had passed the trap of the Lich Corpse Bomb, she had rarely encountered the corpses of the victims on the road.
It seems that they have all been specially cleaned up.
Lorraine secretly wondered in his heart, according to the city lord of Rutherford, there were thousands of ordinary people killed in the port area, where did the bodies of these people go?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he still kept walking into the port.
Soon Lorraine found her first goal.
Looking at the steam engine that turned into a pile of iron in front of him, Lorraine couldn't help but grit his teeth.
The Lich destroyed the steam engine so completely that not even a complete section of iron pipe remained.
Lorraine was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched. It's like the house I just bought with a loan, which has just been renovated, and the smell of paint has not yet dispersed, it was forcibly demolished by a group of guys, and more importantly, it has not been insured.
The steam engine installed in the port, the payment has not yet been settled.
Lorraine was so angry that he kicked an iron can away, and pulled Vera to the dock without looking back, as long as the dock was still usable, the port could still be used.
Under normal circumstances, Edin Island can accommodate thousands of large and small ships in the harbor.
But seeing the situation in the port, Lorraine completely stopped thinking of luck.
This side of the port faces the sea and there is a sea breeze blowing all the time. As a result, the fog has faded a lot.
But because of this, seeing the scene in front of him, Lorraine couldn't even smile bitterly.
Originally parked in the harbor, almost all the ships of all sizes were burned and sunk by the lich, and the small ships had completely sunk to the bottom.
The only thing that can still emerge from the water is the mast of the transport ship.
Walked all the way along the pier, everywhere it was.
It will take months just to clean up and salvage these wrecks, and the port should not be used again during this period.
"Hehehe......" Suddenly on the silent dock, a strange laugh came, Lorraine and Vera drew their weapons at the same time, this laughter was like an electronic synthesized sound that Lorraine had heard, it felt like it was vibrating in the cavity, extremely hoarse and ugly.
"Hahaha, hahahaha~!" The strange laughter grew louder and louder, but the voice was erratic, flickering left and right, and it sounded like it was coming from different directions.
In this case, the tacit understanding between Lorraine and Vera is revealed, and the two men are back to back, holding guns and watching warily in front of them.
"You idiot, do you think you'll get out alive?" said the lich with contempt.
Without hesitation, Lorraine raised his hand and fired a shot in the direction from which the sound came.
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed all around, but it was impossible to tell if something had been hit.
"It's just a dying struggle. The lich's voice came from behind Lorraine again.
Vera did not hesitate to raise her hand and fired several shots in quick succession.
"I'll turn you into a skeleton soldier, or a dark knight. That little girl is good, I'm probably going to make her a banshee, hahahaha......"
Lorraine was secretly amused in her heart, and said secretly: If Vera reveals her true body, she will not blind your dead dog eyes. Dare to bully her, not afraid that Vera's menopausal mother will come and tear down your boss's bone frame.
Vera snorted and said crisply: "Young master, don't speak ill of my mother, my mother has no menopause, even my father said that my mother and I stand together like sisters." β
Lorraine pursed her lips, and said that it was not menopause who believed Queen Anrelias's fiery temper. At the same time, he also sympathized with Vera's father, who was actually forced, not afraid of thunder and thunder and talking nonsense with his eyes open, which shows that his life is not easy.
Hey...... Why do you say the word 'also'?
Lorraine glanced around and said loudly: "Lao Tzu hates you people who hide your heads and show your tails the most, and if you have eggs and are men, you will come out and fight with you." Oh, I forgot, you don't have that kind of feature. β
After saying that, Lorraine laughed.
"Hmph~!Stupid humans, your narrow minds will never be able to comprehend the ideals of the Eternals. This is the inevitable price of pursuing the ultimate in magic. β
The sound is still erratic.
"That's a good word," Lorraine said with a sneer, "and no one will bother you behind closed doors." But you people with lofty ideals always use living people as tools, and you don't ask people if they want to or not. β
"Dedicate themselves to magic, they should be honored. The lich shouted.
"Nine o'clock direction. Vera snorted and raised her hand to fire several shots.
Lorraine turned the muzzle of the gun and fired a few random shots in that direction until she ran out of bullets.
"Hehe......" The voice suddenly came from a distance again, "Is this the paladin's weapon, like a toy?" β
"There's something more fun, why don't you come and see it? Lorraine said as she reloaded, removing the cartridge casing.
"Hmph, it's game time~!" the lich Sen's cold voice came from mid-air.
"Young master be careful~!" Vera suddenly gave a warning, and her back hit Lorraine, and the two of them flew out to one side.
A large area of sharp bone spears shot down from the air like a rain of arrows, and the place where Lorraine and Vera were standing was as dense as a cornfield, and it was estimated that they would be punctured to pieces.
"Pretty fast......" the lich sneered, "go on." β
Lorraine helped Vera to her feet, and before they could stand firm, the sound of breaking the air was heard again, and the two of them hurried forward.
A large ball of miserable green liquid fell from the sky and slammed into the ground, scorching the surrounding area blackened.
"It's fun~!, isn't it?" came the lich's wild laughter from the air.
"Here we go again. Vera dragged Lorraine along the street briskly, the lich's mage chasing after them, smashing the ground behind them.
Even a whole stone could burn under the corrosive effects of dark spells, melting like ice, and Lorraine himself had to peel off at least a layer of skin.
Vera's senses are sensitive, and she can always be the first to spot the spells released by the lich, and the lich is obviously very afraid of the weapons in the hands of Lorraine and Vera, and only dares to cast spells at a great distance.
However, this distance is also just enough to exert the power of a necromancer, so that Lorraine's melee combat is useless.
Vera and Lorraine dodge among the inhabitants' houses, dodging the Lich's spells.
And the lich was hiding in the thick fog, constantly moving its position, Vera was helpless despite his powerful mana, and he obviously learned the lesson just now, and never approached the two of them.
"Lao Tzu hates flying kites the most, especially flying my kites~!" Lorraine scolded hatefully.
"Hahaha," the lich laughed triumphantly, this tactic of only attacking without worrying about the enemy made him feel too enjoyable, and the lich laughed loudly, "Isn't this the invincible ......Lorraine? rqοΌοΌοΌ
