Chapter XXVII: The Veil of the Ruins

A group of men and horses quietly left the forward base.

The team includes the mage Leo, Sanders, Vikki, the paladin John, the warrior Nire, the thief Parkinson, and the unaware class of the Bloodline Lulu.

The guide for this trip was sent by the forward base, and there were two people like when they came before, and there were also mages among them, but he was not wearing the usual mage robes, and his body was shrouded in a gray cloak, which made it impossible to see the rank. However, Leo found that the Deeps organization dispatched personnel almost always in pairs, which could indeed directly guarantee the success of the mission and reduce the risk of a single person blinding the organization.

After walking north for half an hour, the Gobi Desert was still in front of me. The monotonous and colorless environment of the shadow world really has nothing to admire, so that the group of people who have not rested well are a little drowsy, even Leo is no exception.

At this moment, the two guides who were walking in front suddenly stopped and raised their hands.

Parkinson followed closely, looked around, but didn't find anything abnormal, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's here. One of the guides replied.

"Arrived?" Parkinson's face was dazed, he really couldn't believe that the desolate Gobi in front of him was the so-called ruins.

"When you arrive, you are ahead, but you can't see it, and you can't get in. The other nodded, thinking of Yan SΓΉ, and naturally regarded Parkinson as the leader, so he continued to say to him: "Now let your men get off the mount, and then follow us, this place is shielded by the vast phantom curtain, once you go in the wrong direction, you may be lost forever." ”

After speaking, he beckoned his companion, walked a few meters, squatted on the ground and drummed up.

Only then did Parkinson understand, his expression became a little nervous, and he looked at Leo next to him.

Leo nodded. The first jumped off the back of the ox and asked, "Do you have a rope on you?"

"Rope?" Parkinson blinked, then understood, and somewhere to find a bundle of rope. Although the body shape does not match, as a thief, if you don't have a rope on your body, it is too incompetent. Apparently Parkinson was not an incompetent thief.

A few minutes later, the whole group was strung in a long line, with Parkinson and Niri, who had the best strength, at the front, following the guide. Leo and John were at the end, making sure no one in the team was out of touch.

The two guides had also erected a strange pillar in front of them, and they looked at the group in surprise, as if they didn't expect these young men to make such a safe arrangement.

The mage guide stood up and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Ready. This time it was Leo who responded.

The mage nodded, and said nothing, but whispered a long incantation.

Hearing the spell, Leo and Vicky beside him glanced at each other. I was a little surprised. The spell didn't belong to either of the two of them, and some of the pronunciations were rather odd, but structurally recognizable. This is at least a spell for mid-level magic. In other words, the mage of this deep organization has a magic inheritance that is very different from the two, and the level is at least not lower than level 5.

didn't wait for the two to figure out anything. Clouds of black smoke suddenly erupted from the pillar in front of them, spreading rapidly outward, accompanied by a terrible and piercing scream.

"It's ......," Leo looked at the black mist. Faintly discerning the myriad of churning faces among them. They had different expressions, some were smiling, some were laughing, some were crying, some were shouting.

Obviously, those are imprisoned souls!

"Soul Guide...... "Vicky muttered a name, his face rather ugly. Seeing Leo paying attention to him, he explained in a low voice, "It's the magic of a necromancy, using imprisoned souls to find a way. Since souls have no physical body and are difficult to destroy, they can travel anywhere without hindrance, and travel between the main physical realm and the necromantic realm, reducing the possibility of getting lost. ”

After a slight pause, he continued, "But these souls cannot return to the origin of the world, and they will suffer the pain of being imprisoned forever. ”

"Really...... Evil magic. Leo whispered.

Even though Lordaeron forbade necromancers to perform living realizations, there were not many strict restrictions on the soul. Because according to the view of this world, the soul is given by the plane origin at the beginning of the physical birth, and is not the reincarnation proposed by some sects. Therefore, the soul of the deceased is seen more as some kind of energy than as a real living body.

And John, on the side, also had a gloomy face, but he didn't say anything. At such times, it is obviously very unwise to have any resistance, and the Golden Sect has always known how to compromise.

The mage guide didn't hear the conversation between the two men at the end of the line, and even if he did, he didn't care. The mages of the Necromantic School have been immersed in the infestation of negative energy for a long time, and most of them are indifferent and ruthless, they only care about their own research, and rarely care about the feelings of others.

After careful distinction, the mage guide spoke: "Now let's go, if you want to enter alive, you must follow me every step." ”

Without waiting for everyone to respond, he was already walking forward with his feet raised.

Parkinson, who was at the front of the line, did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly followed. But when he moved, the whole team followed suit, but because the line was too long, everyone's pace was a little staggered for a while.

Leo realized the problem and immediately shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, listen to my command now, follow the rhythm!

There are no stupid people in the team, and everyone knows that the current situation must be kept steady, otherwise if one person makes a mistake, it may affect the whole person.

A few seconds later, at Leo's command, the group's march quickly unified, and they followed the guide in front.

However, as soon as he walked more than ten meters, Leo suddenly felt that the sky was getting dark, and he knew that he had now entered the phantom curtain. Worried that the others would be affected, he steadied his pace and shouted, "Don't look around, everyone, keep an eye on the people in front of you." ”

Then, the guide's voice also came: "Attention! Every qiΔ“ here is a phantom, even if a knife flies over, don't dodge!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of black bats had already quickly pounced.

"Ahh

Parkinson was startled, grabbed her arm, and yelled, "Don't move, do you want to kill someone?

Niri looked at the swarm of bats that were about to rush towards her, panic written all over her face. Although she has experienced some adventures and has reached level 3, she is a woman after all, and when she encounters this situation, it is inevitable that she will lose control of her psychology.

At this moment, a low spell sounded, followed by a wave of magic power, which descended on Niri.

The female warrior was at first dazed, and then pleasantly surprised to find that the fear in her heart had disappeared.

In the next second, the bats roared over, and these phantoms could not affect anyone at all, but pierced directly through the ranks. However, if someone who does not know the situation encounters it, it is inevitable that they will be frightened and flee in all directions, and thus fall into the phantom curtain.

"Iron Mind?" The guide in front of him was obviously quite good at magic, and immediately recognized the magic that Leo had cast. He stopped, pointed at one of the people in the group, and said, "Now everyone stop, kid in the back, wait until you finish casting the cooldown, and apply it to this person as well." ”

Everyone followed his hand and saw that it was Sanders.

The little fat man was originally pale and trembling, but now he was being watched by everyone again, and he suddenly felt that he was despised, but he also knew that he needed a steel mind now, otherwise if he continued like this, he would really have to pee his pants.

Leo sighed silently, something was already going on before he entered the ruins, and God knows what would happen after entering.

Two minutes later, the cast cooldown ended, Leo cast the Iron Mind on Parkinson, and the team set off again. (To be continued......)
