Chapter 579: Crushing to death once, leaving no aftermath
Thinking of this, Lu Kuan quickly retracted his hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then walked quickly to the staircase and left the scope of the purification enchantment.
When he felt that the light around him suddenly dimmed and there was a damp musty smell in the air, Lu Kuan's heart was put down, and he directly activated the portal and returned to the vicinity of the Temple of Dom in Rune City.
First of all, Lu Kuan went directly to the cabin in the northwest corner of Rune City and found the wooden bird that had just returned to the city.
For Lu Kuan's visit, the wooden bird was not surprised, originally thought that Lu Kuan was here to inquire about the library's historical materials, but Lu Kuan's question really surprised the human mage.
"Evil ritual?"
Wood Bird was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, what are you asking for?" ”
"You don't have to worry about that, just tell me what you know." Lu Kuan waved his hand and didn't explain much.
Seeing Lu Kuan's serious expression, Mu Niao didn't ask any more questions, and got up directly and said, "Wait a minute, I remember reading ancient books in this area." ”
As he spoke, the human mage walked to the bookshelf on the other side and rummaged through it.
Lu Kuan sat on the chair and looked around.
This was Lu Kuan's first visit to Wood Bird's residence, and the hut was very tidy, with a set of exquisite tea sets on the wooden table in the middle of the room, as well as a bottle of ink and a stack of thick, neat white paper.
Most of the remaining space in the room is occupied by books—large and small, thin and thick, ordinary, and there are also high-level books with frost birds flying on the cover, and high-level books that are themselves magical items.
In the corner of the room, a broom and a dustpan with a wooden handle floated quietly, and when he saw Lu Kuan's gaze, he immediately twisted it in this direction, like someone bowing his head and saluting - a magician's little trick, simple but practical.
This is what Lu Kuan's mind should look like in a mage's room.
In the previous life, Lu Kuan also had a mage dream, and a high-level mage wiped out an army in a snap of his fingers, which is an exaggeration at all, but unfortunately this profession is too expensive, without the support of the guild, and the growth is even slower than that of the healing profession, at that time, Lu Kuan practiced a level 40 trumpet, and finally gave up.
Looking at this small room full of the smell of books, feeling that long-ago feeling awakened again, Lu Kuan unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"Your Excellency."
The sound of the wood bird woke Lu Kuan from his memories, and Lu Kuan raised his head and found that the expression of the human mage was a little serious.
"Found the three things you said." The wooden bird held an ordinary-looking book, unfolded it and handed it to Lu Kuan, who took it and glanced at it, and found that the words on it were like flies crawling over, and he couldn't understand it at all.
Lu Kuan knocked on the book: "What are you talking about?" ”
"The ritual of liberation, also known as a bloody sacrifice, can be easily completed with the heart of the recipient you just mentioned, the items that have killed the recipient, and a desecrated spell scroll,"
Wood Bird immediately explained, "Once this ritual is completed, the things that are parasitic in the host's body will immediately be freed and will no longer be bound by the host's physical body. ”
Lu Kuan listened to the clouds, frowned, and said, "Relief? What was it that was parasitic inside that dry corpse? ”
Wood Bird shook his head: "Not necessarily, demons, ghosts, and even some special creatures from another world are possible, but no matter what it is, this sealing ritual is at the cost of the life of the recipient, that is, the person committed suicide, and sealed something with his body before death." ”
Speaking of which, the wooden bird will not continue, but the meaning is already obvious: what can make a person sacrifice his life to seal is not a good stubble~
Lu Kuan's mind was spinning rapidly, and at the same time, he was also observing the expression of the human mage in front of him, and said in his heart, look at this, this guy really flew in directly before.
Otherwise, even if he didn't see the guy chained, the wooden bird would definitely be able to discover the spell space on the eleventh floor.
"Can you know the strength of the sealed guy?" Lu Kuan thought for a while and asked again.
"It's not too strong, otherwise you should have broken free from the seal and escaped, but it's also a huge challenge for you, my lord,"
Woodbird said decisively: "And a little ...... I think it's strange that this kind of sealed monster is not afraid of death, how can it be like you said, trapped by a few chains? As long as they want to, they can recover even if their bodies are chopped up, which is one of the side effects of seals. ”
Lu Kuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then he felt that the balls were tight, and the cold sweat came down.
I was so close to that guy just now...... If what the wooden bird said is true, isn't it a walk around the ghost gate?
Groove, careless...... After being reborn, there is always a sense of superiority one step ahead, otherwise how could you be deceived so easily? Isn't this the simplest trick to get away with it?
Thinking of this, Lu Kuan's impression of the wooden bird couldn't help but improve a little, and he looked at the expressionless human mage and laughed.
"Don't you worry, what will I find in the stone tower?" Lu Kuan asked with interest.
"On the contrary, I hope you can find something I don't know,"
Wood Bird unexpectedly confessed, and said lightly: "My combat ability is limited, I can only go to the top of the tower to get some ancient books that no one wants, I hope you can return safely later, and we will exchange our respective gains." ”
Communication?
This word came out of the mouth of the wooden bird, a 10,000-year-old wooden face, Lu Kuan felt awkward no matter how he thought about it, smiled and didn't say anything, stood up and said goodbye to the other party, and left the hut.
The subtle change in the attitude of the wood bird made Lu Kuan feel vaguely happy.
This subtle shift in attitude suggests that something is happening in places that Lu Kuan can't see—perhaps the Woodbird's own opinion, some new discovery, or someone at Rapids.
Whatever it is, it's not bad news.
Leaving the wooden bird's residence, Lu Kuan went directly to the temple of Dom and called two Dom knights.
The highest-level Dom Knight has already reached level 33, not that the Dom Knight is fast at leveling, but among the dwarves who were rescued at the beginning, some of them are relatively high-level, and after advancing to the Dom Knight, they are taken care of, so the level has always been at the forefront.
To deal with evil creatures, the Dom Knights, who can resist energy milk and are proficient in sacred spells, are perfect for them, and these two Dom Knights are top-notch in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.
Then, Lu Kuan came to the auction house again and spent more than six hundred gold coins to buy three high-grade Holy Word Scrolls in case there were any difficult undead monsters.
Everything was ready, Lu Kuan set off again, this time the road did not stop at all, the two dom knights and wolves opened the way in front, Lu Kuan and Zebra shouted and cheered behind, and rushed to the tenth floor of the stone tower at a trot.
