Chapter 138: The Pale Singer's Tomb
In a way, David is a bit bad, both as an ancient and as a white dragon.
Including himself, he thinks so.
However, after accepting the offer to be paid for by someone else, when he flew over the Northlands to the Pale Singer's Grave the next day, he felt mixed feelings because Lily was lying on top of Chen.
"The dragon is gone."
"Huh?"
In any case, unlike Lightning's first visit, they flew directly over the Northlands to avoid all accidents and battles, and arrived directly at the destination of their trip.
Outwardly, the Pale Singer's Tomb looked more like a crypt leading into the ground, inconspicuous and sparsely populated, and thanks to the fact that lightning could spot its location with just a few words...... And then make such a big mess.
However, at this time, the vicinity of the tomb was already filled with ice beasts that evoked their songs.
Obviously they were thoughtless constructs, but they stood guard near the tomb like guards.
I think the Pale Singer must have predicted that someone would visit this place a second time, so he deliberately took care of his tomb.
Maybe there's something special hidden in there.
"Shall we go on like this?" Dara looked at the vast number of ice beasts below and frowned, "Even if we have a bit of a hard time dealing with these ice beasts. ”
Especially Chen is an extremely cold warlock, theoretically he can't even have half a fire-based spell, and he can't clear all the ice beasts with a few big fireballs.
Ice spells don't tend to deal direct damage.
"Lightning thinks that even if there is a 'fireball technique', it is meaningless, you can see the cold aura emitted by those ice beasts, even the fire spell will be quickly neutralized."
Hearing this, Chen Zhou looked down at the surface of the earth, and most of those strange-shaped ice beasts indeed exuded a cold aura.
If there are no precautions, even the most hardy species will be quickly frozen to death.
"Our purpose is to enter the tomb, there is no need to fight a group of dead things." Darrah thought to himself, there must be a way to get mindless constructed creatures to ignore them.
"Constructs perceive the outside world in different ways, but without intelligence, what can we use to lure them away?"
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to let David, who was too big to pass through the Yongdao, come forward to lure away a large number of ice beasts, and the other party, who was a white dragon, was immune to cold anyway.
"I shouldn't have promised to take you here."
David scolded and flew downward, leaving only the three people who temporarily performed the "flying technique" and the Wolong Phoenix Chick.
After a few moments, the other party left the scene with a large pile of ice beasts like a train king.
Dara expressed concern: "Won't he take the opportunity to run away? ”
"Don't worry, there's still a dragon on the Obsidian."
The "dragon quality" that Chen Zhou refers to is a pillow embroidered with a white dragon and a young dragon.
Hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.
"The dragon is gone."
Rat Mouse reiterated his point again.
The group finally jumped over the strange sea and went straight to the tomb of the Pale Singer.
The passage leading to the tomb shimmered blue, and it was not actual ice, but ice spirits shaped into masonry.
This special material, which is only found in ancient icebergs, is highly valued and is highly regarded as a forging material.
Looking at the ice spirits covering the corridor, Darla's eyes were almost green, and she couldn't wait to pry off all the ice bricks and take them away!
"It's pretty complete, and it's a shame that you didn't take a few pieces with you when you came last time." He glanced at the Spotted Cat Man with a strange look.
Who doesn't know that the spotted cat owes manpower, and the latter didn't even take half an ice brick with him...... To designate is to take away other treasures that are more valuable.
In fact, Lightning did take advantage of everyone's inattention to take a large piece of priceless Ice Orb, no, I'm afraid that even the value of a country can't compare to that piece of Ice Pearl.
"Meow haha, it's not the treasure that Lightning cares about, it's the history behind these ruins."
Dara inexplicably looked at this spotted cat man differently - he really didn't know the goods.
The corridor is long and cold, and all the guards have been cracked by Lightning's adventure team last time, and there is no other security except for the Ice Beast.
As a result, the group easily reached the deepest part of the tomb, where the corpse of the Pale Singer was placed.
That being said, it now looks more like a pseudo-tomb, a place used to deceive tomb robbers.
The empty ice coffin in the middle of the room was made of a single piece of ice spirit, and there were no corpses in it, but instead it hid a spell that could plunge the Northland into chaos.
It was when the adventurers uncovered the ice coffin that the magic inside was triggered, and the soaring magic fluctuations mixed into the sky above this plane.
Dara knocked on the ice coffin, as if to confirm its quality.
His heart was also struggling intensely, and for a moment it was difficult to determine whether it was appropriate to take away the coffin from a pseudo-tomb.
Dwarven culture focuses on etiquette and public order and good customs, but this question is a bit too much for Darra.
"Wait, this ice coffin has runes engraved inside?"
In the midst of his struggle, he discovered that the ice coffin was actually hiding a mystery, thinking that it was the magic used to store and cast the Pale Song.
"There's such a thing!?"
The lightning was shocked, he didn't find the runes in the ice coffin at all last time, otherwise he would have copied it back directly!
"Can't you see?" Dara was puzzled that such an obvious nick would be missed.
"Lightning is somewhat short-sighted......"
Now the case is solved.
Without struggling too much with the spotted catman's eyesight, the dwarf immediately tried to open the ice coffin to study the runes inside.
Chan follows the plan to perform "Legends of Knowledge", trying to obtain information about this place directly across time.
The cast time of this spell depends on the information the caster has, but it can take a few tens of minutes at the shortest.
During this time, the Spotted Cat people carefully re-examined the tomb to avoid anything that he had not been able to spot in the first place due to his eyesight problems.
"The Ice Spirit looks beautiful, but it's a bit cold and not suitable for sleeping in it, otherwise Lily would really want to use it to make a bed."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Darla go straight in.
『?』
"Why are you looking at me like this, there are runes on the inside of the coffin lid, how can I study it if I don't go in?"
Lily subconsciously overlooked it, and she thought that the dwarf had heard her words and wanted to try to go in and sleep.
"Climbing into the coffin of a pseudo-tomb prepared by a high-ranking spellcaster for tomb robbers is definitely a mortal act."
Jerry couldn't help but applaud Darla's approach, which could no longer be described as death, and simply regarded his life as nothing.
In the blink of an eye, it looked at the lightning bolts trying to pry the ice bricks in the corners, and Chen, who continued to cast spells in the tomb as if no one was around.
If you think about it carefully, these people owed the gems on the stone tablet on the nameless island at the beginning, is this the so-called people gather like and things divide by groups?
