Chapter 566: Goodbye Pisces
Stein didn't want to die: "Whether it's a heroic soul or a lonely ghost, it's no longer a living being." โ
The Baron looked at Stein fixedly: "You weren't wrenched to death like a bedbug by the Heroic Spirit, probably not just because your bloodline once had her power. I remember someone just now that it was said that Marco. Polo and Tang Xuanzang are the life goals he pursues all his life. Whether you are lying or not, now is the time for you to make good on your promise and stand up for their deeds! I need you to give me a clear answer - either join my team and fulfill your promise, or show your weapons and fight your final battle with our Seven Swords Mercenary Band! โ
Stein looked around: at level sixty, he was sure that he would be able to kill a few adventurers and then run away calmly, and now, let alone killing, even if he escaped, he might not be able to run far. The Heroic Spirit is not far away, and he has indeed no way back except to join the team in front of him. He drew a long sword and stuck it in the sand, half-knelt on the ground, resting his forehead on the hilt of the sword: "For my own dreams, and for the sake of this land, I Stein swear to all the gods who can hear my prayers: I will follow Twilight. Orange Language, all the undead natural disasters that are trying to rush into the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains will be eliminated. I don't regret dying! โ
Seeing the baron's eyes looking at him, Aldeck and Jiang Xiaowan looked at each other, and both knelt down at the same time, making the same vow as Stein.
The baron helped the three of them up: "It's not that I want to force you to swear such a poisonous oath. I would like to believe you, but this matter is too much to do, and it is up to you to oversee the gods you believe in, so that we can come together as one. I have two plans that I can share with you now to boost your faith! โ
The first plan is to use delaying tactics. "We have the support of Twilight. But bureaucracy in the military takes time, so we're going to try to delay how quickly this necromancer can build the tower of the dead. I need your help, and I can assure you that you will be safe until my men die! โ
The two elite NPCs were both grateful, and only Stein snorted: "My strength is still above you adventurers." I don't need your protection, you just have to say what you want. โ
The second plan, which is a little uncertain: "I expect that there will be a whole army at my disposal." Hehe, that's my enemy, but I believe they're also enemies of the undead scourge. Stein, the Holy Alliance's name for the undead world parallel to the Overworld is very vivid - the undead scourge, they are the enemy of all living beings, so the regular army of this world will be a reliable force when we are overwhelmed. What I need is a way to mobilize them. Now, please compare the map and mark me where this necromancer once appeared. Let's go find them one by one, fight first, and see his strength! Everyone, if you have any additions or questions about my plans, please speak up now. Once the plan is approved, I will manage the team with military justice, and there will be no more mercy or hesitation. โ
Stein: "It's a set of words. I had the rank of junior non-commissioned officer major, specializing in military mapping. What rank are you? โ
He showed his rank of sergeant major of the third class: "He once obtained the rank of captain. Later, he was stripped of his rank for killing a superior officer in a jousting competition. โ
Stein let out a brisk whistle: "Oh, I like this behavior." I'm your age, just entering the barracks. I listen to you! โ
It was no accident that Stein was able to 'meet' Baron Twilight here. His team of grave robbers had met the wizard who had built the Tower of the Dead last night. Stein was not afraid, but the migrant workers under his command and Jiang Xiaowan were afraid of not wanting it, and they had no intention of working at all, and Stein didn't want to make trouble, so he had to start evacuating obediently: "We met him in this direction last night. I don't know if he was disturbed by the Heroic Spirit to find another place. โ
"I don't think so. For these two days and one night, the Heroic Spirit should have been following us. She was willing to entrust us with such an important task, but only examined us for a little time, and it seemed that she was also in a hurry. โ
Arriving at the scene, the crowd was unable to see the necromancer and the portal he had built, except for a huge sand dune.
Stein was sure: "This is it." Let me talk about two possibilities, one is that the Tower of the Dead was demolished by himself. Instead, he cast a spell and buried it under the sand. I'm leaning towards the second possibility. โ
The coordinates were determined, and the team began to camp a hundred paces away from the origin. The baron decided to wait one night to see.
The twilight was low, and a hint of evening breeze was blowing.
Jiang Xiaowan, who was thinner than a monkey, shivered: "This wind is so cold!" โ
The crowd tightened their cloaks. Without waiting for Boss Su to order, he opened the demon pupil, which was ineffective. When I turned on the dark vision, I saw wisps of black mist emanating from the huge sand dunes: "The sand dunes are strange. โ
Knowing that this thief has two visual abilities, Stein was also impressed: "You have these skills, if you don't come to study archaeology with me, it's a waste of talent!" โ
In vain: "I'm a thief, okay?" Tomb robbing is just a small branch of the thief profession! If you're willing to teach me, it doesn't matter what you learn! I'll tell you in advance, I don't have any skill points available. โ
The black fog finally enveloped the entire sand dunes, the wind whimpered, and a sandstorm that was common in the sea of sand turned into a black storm in the blink of an eye!
The players of the Seven Swords are all natives of the Western Regions, and everyone has seen sandstorms, but this is the first time they have encountered sandstorms in the game. Finding that the wind and sand can bring damage to the character at 2.3 points per second, he quickly took out his yellow sand mask and brought it on. Twilight Boss distributes flying towels to those who don't have yellow sand masks one by one: "Bring them all." Stein, can you tell us about the power of this black wind? โ
"Black storms are sandstorms mixed with the energy of death." Stein was succinct: "There are levels, there is only wind magic energy and earth magic energy damage in sandstorms, as long as you don't run around, you can find a depression to pick down, don't bump into, fall, it won't be fatal." In the Black Storm, there is also the Death Demon Energy that will plunder the lives of all living beings in the storm, and those who are not strong enough and poorly equipped will basically die if they can't find a reliable enough place to hide. I said, your mask and this flying towel can effectively reduce the damage of wind and earth magic energy, good things, can you sell me a little? โ
It's really an old bird that is used to seeing wind and waves. The baron gave a thumbs up: "Worthy of an adventurer." When the mission is over, I'll send you a dozen flying towels! โ
Wasted and said: "Stingy! I'll give you a yellow sand mask! โ
Stein looked at him calmly: "Okay." I'll pass you on a few adventurous skills - it's a bit of a loss, forget it......"
The old man's humor made Aldeck and Jiang Xiaowan no longer nervous.
Black Storm is set up to be quite convenient, and when the darkness spreads across the screen, players start to panic. Sanqi opened the door: "Brother Orange, why can't I see anything?" โ
"Nonsense! Isn't it possible to see the team members' avatars, chat windows, and everyone's bleeding damage? Stein, how to fight a necromancer in this situation? โ
Stein will also bubble: "It can't be beaten." He can also be damaged by Wind and Earth Powers. Wait a while, pay attention to protection, it won't take more than ten minutes! โ
After about five minutes, the wind and sand had subsided, the black fog had lifted, and a two-man tall portal made of white bone and dead wood appeared on the dunes. The necromancer was lying on the side of the portal, slowly sitting up from the sand.
"The black storm hasn't stopped." Stein said: "We are now in the eye of the storm, and we are basically not harmed by the black wind. Everyone hurry up and heal. The necromancer must have discovered us! โ
This necromancer in a black burqa, known to Twilight Boss, is none other than the master behind Karbayan: Marquez!
With the death energy in the Black Storm, Mรกrquez had already sensed the existence of the Seven Swordsmen. I saw him slowly stand up and shake the sand on his body: "Come out." Perhaps fresh flesh and bones can build a better quality door to the dead. Let me see what kind of person is so bold as to try to stop the pace of the undead scourge. โ
Baron Twilight had never seen Marquez, and he could see the purple-black name on Mรกrquez's head: "Marquez, aren't you bewitching Kunur Khan in the distant Turks?" Why did you get to Loulan? โ
The red ghost fire in Mรกrquez's eyes jumped: "There are too many Turks herdsmen, too few bones and undead, it is inconvenient for me to build the door of death." Looks like you're concerned about my whereabouts. A nobleman from another place who helped Gakpu escape actually crashed into my pocket, and the undead also had a time of luck! โ
"Nonsense. Let me explain your journey, you have reached an ulterior alliance with Kunur, and you have come to Loulan to intercept Gakpu Khan here! Instead of waiting for the target, he found the graves of these ancient ancestors. You've been here for a long time, trying to open the door to this place with the help of these bones. What's wrong with what I'm saying? โ
Mรกrquez said: "That's pretty much it. If it weren't for someone who had secretly wreaked havoc and destroyed several of my portals under construction, you would be facing an army of hundreds or thousands right now. โ
"Do you think we can destroy your tower? By the way, what the hell are you building? Tower of the Dead? Death's door? A portal to the realm of the dead? There's a name, and when I destroy it, I'll report my exploits! โ
"There's an interesting soul in your shell. Don't worry, when I kill you and collect your soul, I will put your skull at the top of a place of bone glory - this teleportation array. โ
Having said that, the team of the Seven Swords had approached Marquez and was ready to fight.
Shengshengman's eyes were sharp: "Do you see if this guy has a Pisces jade pendant hanging on his waist?" โ
