Waiting for the entourage to return, the eyes of the Seven Princes couldn't help but flicker with memories of Teacher Leon.

It was their way from the Empire to the Syndicate.

When passing through a small country, there was an outbreak of a plague there.

At first, he didn't think about it, he and the imperial army had received the blessing of "brilliance", and most of the plague disasters that were the most difficult and painful for civilians and other countries were basically immune to them.

So at that time, he did not order the army to bypass the country, but continued to advance according to the original route.

As a result, he didn't expect that after only half a day, he began to feel unwell, and the soldiers of the other imperial army even had malignant vomiting, and even fell into a serious direct coma, with brown markings all over his body.

This frightened Alba at that time, what kind of terrible plague was this, even the "blessings" on their bodies could penetrate and infect them.

Alba immediately garrisoned the troops and stopped advancing, the syndicate's magic oil mine was important, but his own health and safety were obviously more important.

Later, the Seven Princes found military doctors and priests, and tried various means to try to cure the plague, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not do anything, but their bodies became weaker and weaker.

Alba became more and more anxious, and when the Seventh Prince gritted his teeth, no matter how embarrassed he was, he had to prepare to turn back directly, and when he returned to the empire to see the damn strange plague on his body first, they accidentally heard that there was a doctor in the small country who had been doing good to cure the plague, so the Seventh Prince immediately sent someone to find this doctor with the attitude of giving it a try.

That's right, it's his current Leon teacher.

This Doctor Leon, with his superb medical skills, in just two or three hours, solved the plague that had plagued them for several days, and allowed the entire Imperial Army to recover and regain health.

The Seven Princes were sure at that time that Leon was by no means simple.

Later, he tentatively communicated with Leon more, only to find that this person was not only a doctor, but simply knowledgeable and seemingly proficient in various fields.

After just two or three sentences of chatting, Alba felt that he benefited a lot, and some of the difficulties and bottlenecks in the technique seemed to be a little suddenly enlightened and showed signs of loosening.

So he immediately threw an olive branch to Leon, and even directly stated his noble status as the seventh prince of the empire, but Leon still rejected him and did not want to participate in the dispute.

Instead of being angry with Leon because of this, Alba was even more attracted and moved by Leon's indifferent fame and fortune.

After all, he has seen too many people, and they all want to join the empire, how many so-called masters, as soon as they hear their identity as princes, they can't wait to immediately become a dog wagging their tails.

But he didn't find any of this from Leon's body, this is not a disguise that can be disguised, Alba is very confident in his eyes to see people, he is more and more determined, Leon's identity as a hidden sage.

For a true sage, Alba immediately chose to put down his identity, and even ignored the dissuasion of other entourages, and wanted to continue to stay in the garrison, visiting Mr. Leon's "grass house" over and over again, just to invite the sage out of the mountain, hoping that Leon could join his team.

After visiting him three times, Leon seemed to be finally impressed by his persistence and sincerity, and promised to become his teacher and help him in his future journey.

The sound of approaching horses' hooves outside the chariot pulled Alba's thoughts back, and the Seventh Prince tidied up his appearance a little, and then the chariot door was pushed open, and a well-dressed man with a very polite temperament walked in.

"Leon-sensei, I'm sorry to disturb you." Alba immediately got out of his seat and went to pick Leon into the chariot to show his respect for Leon as a prince.

After inviting Leon to take a seat, Alba personally told Leon the information about the "ruins" and "dungeons" that the Syndicate had mentioned, and then showed an inquiring look.

"Mr. Leon, what do you think of this ruin? Could this be the magic oil mine we're looking for? ”

Without answering directly, Leon paused slightly, then reached out to the side to look into the air, where the space suddenly distorted slightly, forming a dimensional pocket for storage, from which Leon took out a map and laid it out in front of the Seven Princes.

Leon didn't say anything, just this space spell of storage had already made Alba and the three Imperial hunters in the chariot secretly frightened, the space spell was extremely rare, and there were probably only a handful of people who could use it in the empire.

"Prince, judging from the map, although the syndicate is all desert, there are still many possibilities in the space inside its underground, and we may have neglected the excavation and exploration of the deeper part of the syndicate because of the yellow sand on its surface."

"Recently, the oasis of the syndicate has been disappearing, perhaps because the geology is changing, and the movement of the plot has made some things that were originally deep underground now emerge, I think, whether it is the ruins dungeon, or the magic oil mine that the prince is looking for, this principle should be followed."

After listening to Leon's explanation, the Seven Princes kept nodding their heads, it was indeed reasonable, in this way, everything was explained, worthy of being a sage, just relying on the map and a little information, he could restore the essence of the incident at once.

In this case, Alba had no need to hesitate, and immediately ordered the troops, changed direction, and advanced at full speed towards the location of the ruins.

The galloping Imperial Army, in less than half a day's effort, had already arrived at the entrance of the ruins.

The members of the Shadow Tribe and the Death Apostles, who had stayed outside and were waiting for their leader to emerge from the ruins, did not hesitate at all when they saw the Imperial banner from afar, and immediately gave up the entrance, thinking of taking a back seat and waiting for their leader.

But that's obviously not what Alba wants, 50,000 imperial iron horsemen, directly start expelling everyone, and want to completely block the ruins.

Whether it was the big gangs, or the small and medium-sized syndicate tribes who wanted some soup, they were all driven a few kilometers away, even the aborigines who already lived in the vicinity, and everyone in the towns had to make way for the empire immediately.

In fact, the Seven Princes here still took into account the reason for leaving a good impression in front of Leon, the sage teacher.

Otherwise, according to the consistent style of the empire, where is it so troublesome to use "expulsion", it should be easier to "clean up".

However, people can not be killed, but the benefits they get from the ruins must be spit out.

"Give it back! That's ours, why."

"You're crazy, that's the Empire! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, these, that's all, go, go! ”

"No, no! No, those were not brought out of the ruins, let go, let go! ”

"Woo."

Under the looting and plundering of the Imperial Iron Cavalry, those adventurers, how many tribes and gangs, what they brought out of the ruins with their lives, are now summed up in Alba's pocket, and are concentrated in a large warehouse, and the Imperial army is also used to it, and they will search for some extra in the middle, as their own payment.

The Seven Princes, who came to the warehouse, looked at the many treasures inside, and really realized the preciousness of the ruins of that dungeon.

Even the top alchemists of the empire could hardly concoct the "perfect-grade" red healing potion, but in that ruin, it seemed to be a rotten street.

And even he had to save it, using a high-level magic scroll that was one less than one, and he could even find it in a large area here, fireball technique, ice arrows, ground thorns, and even the fifth-order "Flame Spear Technique" This kind of magister scroll, which opened the eyes of the Seven Princes.

Even if they didn't find the magic oil mine now, the value of this relic was enough to make his trip worthwhile.

What are you waiting for.

Start looting the dungeon now!

The Seven Princes, who were fiery in their hearts, quickly gathered a group of elites, plus three powerful hunters, such a luxurious lineup, in Alba's opinion, any treasure in the ruins was at his fingertips.

As a result, before they could enter the ruins, they were stopped at the first level.

To enter the deep ruins, you need "Slate Fragments" as a ticket.

The previous slate fragments have been looted by several major gangs, and they, as outsiders, have no fragments in their hands at all.

As a result, the imposing troops were stuck at the entrance of the dungeon when they came up.

"Let me try, Prince."

Under the helpless Imperial Army, Leon had to walk out, his hands danced with magic power, and the complex seal began to draw in the void, and then, the teleportation array that many imperial mages in the army could not understand, the light of the blockade on it, began to flicker, and it was re-operated without using any slate fragments.

The Seven Princes under this scene sighed again, how wise his choice was at that time, even if it was a delay in the trip, in exchange for the help of such a great sage, it undoubtedly helped them save more effort.

After successfully entering the dungeon, consistent with the information they had previously investigated from the Syndicates, it was a huge labyrinth of ruins, and the labyrinth was filled with a large number of undead undead creatures.

And at this time, as one of the three hunters under the command of the Seven Princes, Pastto took the initiative to stand up.

Faced with the skeletal skeletons that had found them in the labyrinth and began to "click" and rise from the ground, Pasto volunteered to come to the front.

"Your Highness Alba, leave these monsters to me."

The Seventh Prince nodded.

As the sixty-third place on the Empire's hunting list, Pasto is the top necromancer, and any undead creature of the undead is like a toy in front of Pasto.

Because of this, Pasto's hunt is named - the Bone King.

King of Bones.

Pasto concentrated, this was a good time for him to behave in front of the Seven Princes.

Because of Leon's arrival, they all felt anxious about these hunts, especially looking at Leon, who could play a powerful role everywhere, and they, who were also members of the staff of the Seven Princes, suddenly had a sense of crisis.

Pasto sank down, and the magic began to surge in his body, and he raised his dry fingers, and his mouth began to murmur from the beginning, and gradually the voice became louder and louder, and the incantations became more and more obscure, as if full of mysteries.

With Pastoro's chanting, the gray-blue necromantic magic began to hover around him, at this moment, he did become extremely mysterious and tall in the eyes of everyone, and the necromantic magic power was under his feet, condensing a pile of bones, Pasto stood on the pile of bones, as if it was really, as if he was the king of all the undead.

"Obedience!"

In the end, Pasto on the pile of bones reached the peak of his momentum, he opened his eyes suddenly, opened his arms, and chanted the surging necromantic magic that had accumulated, infinitely amplifying his voice, turning it into a spell, and with the help of sound waves, it began to transmit layer by layer, and swept the large labyrinth in front of him with extreme speed.

This move is not small, and the effect is naturally very significant, I saw that it could have been that only more than a dozen skeletons in the maze found them and attacked them.

And after this wave of chanting from Pasto, he wanted to show his authority as the "Bone King" in front of the Seven Princes, and easily let these low-level skeleton monsters "obey" him

Click! Click! Click, click, click!

In all corners of the labyrinth, there was the sound of bones splicing, as if awakened by Pasto's sound waves, and then, a few seconds later, a dense sea of skeletons began to emerge from all directions of the labyrinth, at every entrance and exit.

And the target of all these skeletons is locked on Pasto, as well as the Imperial Army behind this "Bone King".

The Seventh Prince was a little surprised at first.

I feel that the Bone King is really capable, and he can actually summon so many skeletons in the maze to become their troops.

However, only Pastto himself on the pile of bones is clear.

This.

This.

What about contact?

What about the response?

Why didn't these skeletons make a necromantic pact with him at all? Obviously gave the order to obey, but didn't pay attention to himself at all?

The Bone King began to sweat on his forehead, and Pastto hurriedly condensed the necromantic magic again, chanting a spell to try to control it, but the result was that more skeletons were attracted to kill them in their direction.

Until this time, the Seven Princes also sensed that something was wrong, where did these skeletons come to surrender to them, and the dark fire beating in the deep eye sockets was clearly full of killing intent for them.

"Stop your damn spell! Pasto! ”

Alba was immediately a little furious.

However, he didn't have time to scold the hunter anymore, and he quickly ordered the rest of the Imperial army to immediately line up and prepare to meet this scalp-numbing sea of skeletons.

After a bloody and difficult battle.

"Whew."

The remnants of the panting elite of the Imperial Army, looking at the skeleton wreckage everywhere, finally could breathe a little sigh of relief, and sat directly on the cold floor, gasping for breath.

They resisted for a full half an hour, killing hundreds of skeletons before they barely finished and finally came to an end.

Although the Sea of Skulls is over, they have also paid a terrible price.

The forty-two elite warriors of the empire brought by Alba are now almost half dead.

In fact, if you slowly advance the labyrinth normally, the combat power of the elite warriors of the empire is indeed much stronger than that of any syndicate adventurer, and the skeletons in the maze can achieve zero casualty rate under a reasonable battle layout.

It's a pity that after passing through the hand of the "Bone King", the skeletons in the whole labyrinth were "gathered" and faced hundreds of skeletons at once, which led to the current tragedy.

"Rubbish!"

For these elites who are also extremely distressed by the Seven Princes, they immediately ordered someone to arrest Pasto, and this bone king now looks like a spy ghost.

And Pasto, who was tied up with all kinds of flowers, is actually full of incomprehension and confusion in his heart compared to his grievances.

Why?

Obviously a high-level necromancer?

Why wouldn't these low-level skeletons listen to him?

This situation has never been encountered in Pasto.

But according to the rules of necromancy, unless it is

Here, is there another one here, a more powerful necromantic creature far beyond his rank!?

Only this is the only possibility that low-level skeletons can be exempted from their necromantic magic control.

But the problem is that Pasto's most brilliant record at the beginning was even summoned by the sixth-order "Undead Lord".

Is there any undead who is stronger than the "Undead Lord"?

Wait, isn't it.

Pasto's eyes widened, realizing that above the Lord of the Dead, there was indeed an absolute king, and he regarded it as an impossible existence.

Skeletron.

"Hmm! Woo woo! Pasto struggled frantically to get the information out.

After all, if there was really a Skeletron in this labyrinth, then they had to leave immediately, and even the Seven Princes would never be able to survive under the legendary Skeletron.

It's a pity that the current "Bone King" has been regarded as an internal ghost by the Imperial Army, and the Seventh Prince strictly ordered that the soldiers must seal Pasto's mouth, and must not let him speak again, in case it attracts another wave of Skull Sea, then they really can't bear it.

In addition, Leon glanced in the direction of Pasto, intentionally or unintentionally.

This "Bone King" immediately fell into the abyss, his eyes widened in horror, as if he had seen some most terrifying monster in the world, and the next moment he directly bled from his seven orifices, lost consciousness and passed out.

The Seventh Prince, who was originally a little attracted by Pasto's movements, only glanced at it at this time, ignored Pasto, who had fainted, and continued to move forward with his troops.

I have to say that although they encountered the Sea of Skulls, it also accelerated their exploration of the labyrinth, and the monsters were basically killed by them in a wave, and the next road seemed to be unimpeded all the way, with only a few sporadic ghouls.

Soon they were there, where the next waypoint was.

After stepping in, everyone's figures quickly disappeared in place, and when they opened their eyes again, all the imperial troops in the labyrinth were stunned.

Because I saw them now, where was they still in the gray and winding labyrinth that had just been gray.

but

Sunshine, fresh air, wide blue skies and endless views

Big Forest!?
