Chapter 967: The Lich's Grave (9)
Ann didn't know how many layers the Lich Tomb had, and in fact no one knew.
It changes course on its own every once in a while, sometimes it is one layer, sometimes it is two, and sometimes it is ten or eight layers.
With an unpredictable route and no map, this is the hardest part of the Lich Grave.
However, it is also from the hands of the Elder Elves like the Endless Dungeon, so you don't have to guess that the deeper you go, the more difficult it gets, and the rewards you can get will definitely be much better than at the beginning.
With Ann's mode of action, he should have left Lena and George to John and a bunch of minions to secure the main quest, and then burst into the bottom of the Lich's Grave with full firepower to sweep away all the loot he could hold.
But he didn't do it, mainly because he wasn't in a hurry.
Even if An Yizhi rushed to the bottom layer to complete the looting, there was not much time left for him to finish the rest of the game, which was not enough for him to arrange another copy.
Even if it can be arranged, it is estimated that it will be a short-range temporary copy like the last 'Robin and the Orient Express', which is really not interesting, and he is too lazy to go to the endless dungeon to farm monsters, so it is better to stay here and play cards with Galle Angel and John.
After all, this is a copy of ordinary difficulty, and the difficulty of not being able to get rid of it no matter how much you wave, what level of reward you can get An Yizhi knows in his heart, and he can't be in a hurry.
In addition, he also wanted to continue to work out Lena and George.
This was not out of pure goodwill, nor for the sake of John's relatives, but for the sake of being a little safer when they were lower.
Admittedly, Ann Yizhi had a large number of summoned creatures to ensure the safety of those two magic apprentices, and was escorted by the Angel of Gale, as for John......
Well, she would have done a great favor if she hadn't messed up with Ann.
But there is no 100% sure thing in the adventure.,Whether it will be a god is mainly a matter of probability.,Whether they die or not is related to the main quest.,Rather than working hard to protect, let them accumulate more actual combat experience while the monsters are spicy chickens now.,So as not to get in a hurry.,That's what we often say'Grinding guns in battle is not fast and light'。
The accumulation of experience is very necessary, and An Yizhi is very confident that as long as Lena and George will not be killed in seconds, he will have the ability to return to help.
However, judging from the results, the biggest benefit of this adventure is undoubtedly the two of them, the general team leader has no leisure to speak and guide, basically a stocking policy, only when the apprentice is about to hang up to help.
They were lucky to meet Ann.
Lena and George don't have the strength to think about it now, though.
Dealing with ghosts consumes a lot of physical strength and magic, and the feeling of being evacuated is obviously not comfortable, like playing games for 30 hours in a row, and when you are exhausted and want to go to bed, you suddenly remember that you have to take a full day of final exams.
- That's how they feel right now.
The two of them rested on the ground almost on their stomachs for several minutes before they had the strength to take out a thumb-sized bottle of potion containing red liquid from their backpack and pour it into their mouths.
It was a warm-up potion, a potion made with spirits and several herbs, and since there was no magic involved in the process, it was not considered a potion, so it was also quite cheap, and it was a common potion among adventurers.
It can quickly restore the body temperature of the drinker and keep it warm for a certain period of time, just right for the two people who have just been attacked by the ghost and are chilled.
This has to be thanked by John for the reminder, otherwise the two people who were attacked by the ghost and their body temperature plummeted might catch a cold and get sick, and they would explore the Lich Tomb while sneezing and shedding tears, that picture ......
When their bodies warmed up again, the two of them drank some water from the water bladder, and their magic power returned to a level sufficient for battle, and then they set off again.
There's not much to say along the way, except for a few more skeletons and a handful of ghosts, there's basically nothing worth saying, although the performance of the two is remarkable, from good-for-nothing rookies to barely qualified novice adventurers, but the process is too boring, so skip directly.
By the way, An Yizhi has been playing cards all the time during this period, and has successfully pasted the stupid big sister Angel who is full of joy and anger.
This made Leena and George's eyes almost pop out.
- She...... Is it really an angel?
The Angels of Galel are one of the more representative types of angels in the Heavenly Sanctuary, and there are some descriptions of them in the textbooks of the Academy of Magic.
He loves freedom, is full of a sense of justice, and does not mind using any means to achieve good goals, and in general is also a representative of Guangweizheng.
But the appearance of the stupid eldest sister angel shattered the three views of these two children, and it turns out that there are such funny angels among them.
How do these two children know that when they have the ability to patronize other planes of the multiverse in the future, they will find that the strong men and creatures who only appeared in legends and textbooks in the past are basically forced into commits by long lives......
Regardless of Lena and George's thoughts for the time being, after about an hour or so, the four of them walked out of the corridor and came to a relatively wide open space.
Lena and George habitually looked back at Ann Yizhi, who was following them, but the latter did not respond to their meaning at all, waving his hand to indicate that he would deal with it.
Just because this clearing has as many as eight forks in the road, even if you don't count the passage when they came......
Labyrinth, Ann's lifelong enemy.
It's not even like it's inconceivable to see a real labyrinth until now, especially in terms of the evil taste of the ancient elves.
Replacing it with ordinary ancient elf ruins, An Yizhi is really fine, because most of the ruins have a mystical lock or enchantment, which will limit some of his means.
The Lich Tomb doesn't have that kind of lock, and the easiest and most straightforward way to explore it is to use the Book of the Dead to pull out an army of skeletons, fill all the corners of the labyrinth, and rely on crowd tactics to get through the labyrinth.
How simple, crude, straightforward, and effective......
It's just that it's Lena and George who make the decision now.
They discussed in a whisper for a moment, then raised their feet and walked towards the leftmost hallway, apparently intending to try one from left to right.
Lena used her newly acquired defensive staff to place a little on the edge of the entrance, leaving a magical mark, which was considered a mark.
At this moment, Lena's ears suddenly moved.
"Something is coming towards us."
When George heard this, he quickly unloaded his backpack and carefully threw it aside, so as not to get in the way of the battle.
Although both of them are rookies who have not graduated from the Academy of Magic, they can more or less have some more practical spells, at least more reliable than John's guy who is interested in learning spells.
Having suffered two attacks by skeletons (as a joke, they actually got attacked by skeletons), Lena remembers that she had learned a spell called 'Listening'.
This spell transmits small sounds from a distance to the caster's ears, and it doesn't last for a short time, making it a useful detection spell.
"It's closer...... It should be a humanoid creature, with three ...... of footsteps No, four. ”
Lena untied her harness as she spoke, and the two of them stood on either side of the entrance on one side of the other, one on the left and one on the right, so that they could move freely and would not get in the way of each other.
These two people have indeed received some growth, and An Yizhi's guidance, or complaining, is not in vain.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, the two saw an aperture slowly coming out of the corner of the entrance, and on top of the aperture were two children of about their age.
They are supposed to be students from other magic academies, and the style and coat of arms of the school uniform are different.
Lucild is not the only one in the magic academy under the Three Towers Alliance, it is only closely related to the Star Tower, and the other two towers and other organizations have magic academies set up.
So it's not surprising to see students from other faculties at a summer internship.
Seeing that both sides were humans, and they were both magic apprentices, whether it was Lena and George, or the two apprentices opposite, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that they have also been tormented by this internship activity, which is very close to the actual combat.
Just like Lena and George had Ann and John with them, the two apprentices opposite also had a leading teacher.
"Cousin Billy?!"
Lena whispered in surprise, although his voice was not loud, even the sound of walking footsteps could be heard clearly, and her voice was still heard in such a quiet environment.
Having just come around the corner, Billy looked at Lena with a frown.
He didn't have much of an impression of Lena, he was probably a member of the side branches, but there were too many side branches in the Cooks family, and Billy couldn't remember who Lena was.
Since there is no impression, it means that Lena is not an important role in the side branch, and Billy is too lazy to think about it.
He raised his chin arrogantly, and was about to say something when he raised his eyes and saw John playing cards with Ann, and the three people who were playing cards naturally also saw him.
As is customary, Billy would grit his teeth every time he saw John, or come up and taunt him, and finally be beaten up by Ann and run away......
This is standard practice.
And this time, Billy looked at John's complicated face, blue and white, as if he was doing some kind of psychological struggle.
In the end, he just snorted lightly and signaled the apprentice he brought to continue walking.
"Hmph, looking for a beating, aren't you?"
I was a little puzzled as to why Billy didn't play according to the routine, but that didn't stop Ann from habitually helping John out.
Billy may really have changed a little, in other words, he is usually ridiculed by An Yizhi, even if he doesn't do it, he will stare at his eyes and blush and his neck is thick, An Yizhi just likes to watch the blood vessels of this popularity explode.
- Seven Killers condemned.
As if he hadn't heard Ann's taunt at all, he walked forward indifferently behind the apprentice, and only when he passed by John's side did he squeeze out a sentence from his throat:
"I won't accept your favor, I must be the one who can lead the Kuks family to glory in the future."
With that, he followed the apprentice into the passage on the other side.
This guy, has he been stimulated by something?
Ann touched her chin with a finger and thought, then noticed the confused expressions on Lena and George's faces, and explained:
"I almost forgot, you don't know who this is, do you?"
He pointed to John and said to Lena:
"John. Cooks is your cousin ....... sister. ”
Lena: "......"
What the hell is my cousin?!
