Chapter 0827: Black Robe
readx;?(Old wolf begging for a subscription to the main station)
Peeling away the thick layer of dust at the foot of the ghost tree's roots, a piece of purple copper ore that was rare in the area was revealed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The black robe finally nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his dirty right hand with sharp bones and sharp nails, and made a few false strokes in the air. A mysterious green talisman appeared in the air, and after a slight pause, it turned its head and disappeared into the ghost tree next to it.
Smack.
A palm-sized piece of dead bark fell from the ghost tree, revealing a hidden hole in the back.
The hole is not big, it is the size of a fist, but there is a miniature magic circle running in it. A mysterious black shard was floating in the center of the miniature circle.
The black robe looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but sigh softly.
On such a tiny magic circle, there are six or seven kinds of magic effects such as concealment, anti-prophecy, anti-detection, and demon sealing. It can be seen that the "person" who drew this circle has profound knowledge of magic and mastery of drawing techniques.
But today he ran to this desolate place, not for this miniature circle, but for the mysterious fragment floating in the center of the circle. Carefully putting the fragments into a sealed box, the black robe hesitated, and a small fireball smashed into the hole. In the roaring flames, there was a slight crackling and cracking inside, and the traces of the existence of the miniature magic circle were wiped cleanly.
And after doing this, it wasn't over, the black robe glanced around, sensing the dense undead aura in the ghost tree forest, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
A few short whispers, and furious magical flames surged out of the black-robed thin body, sweeping through everything around them at a galloping speed. Wherever the flames passed, the ghost tree burst into a torch that soared into the sky, and the undead spiders and ghost ghosts that lived on it burned to ashes before they could escape. The mud on the ground was also churning violently, completely boiling, and a black mist was steaming, faintly mixed with the painful wails of the old ghost woman.
The black-robed and emaciated body silently walked through the surging magical flames, and from time to time raised its hand to shoot a fire arrow or burst fireball, destroying and igniting the ghost trees on the periphery. When encountering the guy hiding at the bottom of the quagmire, the black robe only needs a flint meteor-like "meteorite blast" to smash the quagmire into a deep pit, and everything inside will be destroyed in the following lava fire pillar.
After making two circles around the location of the Secret Cave Ghost Tree, and making sure that all the ghosts within a radius of 2 miles were all destroyed, the black robe nodded with satisfaction, turned around and sank into a portal that was casually opened.
This terrible forest, which was still full of ghosts and ghosts, was in shambles in an instant, and became a real death place with lingering smoke.
The exit of the portal is located in a huge magical square.
The entire magic square can be roughly divided into seven functional areas.
Near the north end of the town hall is the administrative district. There is a dense flow of people, mysterious figures in various costumes and costumes, but more often than not, all kinds of undead with big shoulders and round waists and strong bodies. Seeing a group of ugly and hideous, tall and powerful terrifying undead honestly lined up, waiting to enter the city hall to handle a certain business, the black robe couldn't help but shake his head and laugh secretly.
These guys are good at robbing houses and houses when they go out, and they don't change their faces when they eat flesh and blood, but they are honest like elementary school students in front of Senmu's majestic city hall.
In the northwest corner, where there is a noisy and tinkling sound, it is where the blacksmith's shop, the undead repair yard, and the appraisal house are located. It is also the most frequented place by the cemetery mercenaries. Every time they return from a major battle, the cemetery mercenaries need to go to the blacksmith shop to repair their weapons. And the undead repair field is also opened for mercenaries. As long as the soul fire is not extinguished, any type of severed limb will be repaired here in the quickest and highest quality.
As for the appraisal shop, it is also for mercenaries who have returned from the Great War. If they have any doubts about some of the loot they have captured after the war, they can get it here and have it evaluated by a veteran corpse witch with a talent for identifying strange objects. In this way, they can safely throw the identified items into the auction house, so as not to have the hatred of the pearl secretly invested.
Of course, there is also a fee for these services. The most commonly used currency is, of course, the Merit Point, which is officially supported by all Necropolis. As for the hardest currency, of course, it is the elusive soul crystal.
Now it's no better than the Graveyard Grass Creation stage. At that time, there were very few items circulating in the entire circulation field, and the services that the cemetery city could provide were also scarce, and the soul crystals were almost owned by everyone. But now after the rapid rise of the cemetery, there are more and more strange things, all kinds of high-quality and effective services are emerging in an endless stream, and the price of soul crystals has also skyrocketed.
According to the latest offer of Stratholme's underground black market, 127 merit points to the point. This made it difficult to find soul crystals on the market, and it became the hardest currency that the undead were frantically speculating.
In the past few years, with one or two soul crystals in his hand, he has swaggered through the big market, and he can definitely gain the most envious eyes. Of course, after showing off your wealth, you don't want to go to those dark corners again, otherwise there will be no shortage of hateful guys at the god thief level among the mercenaries.
It is said that the "Association for the Promotion of Exchange of Goods", formed by a group of hateful thieves, was secretly established a month ago, and also obtained an organization license from the city hall, becoming an official organization recognized by the cemetery.
This can't help but make those big guys who like to hang out in the cemetery market indignant, and they all hide the dimensional bag, storage waist bag, and space ring in the most secret places on their bodies, and they are careful every time they use them.
The northeast corner of the magic square is the auction house, task hall and other magic buildings that must be opened in every cemetery city, and the flow of people inside is undoubtedly the densest in the entire square. It is also considered a business district of the cemetery city.
However, in addition to these official function halls, the large streets that extend to the back are also densely packed with many private shops and stores. Like what is the Chuck Daddy Enchantment Shop, Master Fulong Alchemy Shop, Undead Pet Shop, Kardashian Banshee Beauty Shop, Lyme Brothers Special Metal Wholesale Shop, Succubus Cottage Massage Shop (囧)......
The southwest corner of Magic Square is the relaxation area, where most of the pubs, bars and inns are located. In addition, there are also unique ethnic buildings such as the Nightmare Garden, the Battle Arena, the Horror Castle, the Haunted House of the Howling, and the Knight's House.
However, there is a mix of fish and dragons here, and fights and brawls are commonplace, and it belongs to the most unsafe area. Now it is a place for many undead lads who are ready to advance to the "thieves" to practice.
As for the southeast corner of the magic square, there is the temple area, where special magical buildings such as the Conjuring Hall, the Temple of the Evil God, the Altar of the Grim Reaper, the Bone Pillar, and the Convent of the Dead are next to each other. Most of the people who can haunt here are fanatics such as the Grim Reaper, the Dead, the Evil God Cultists, the Blasphemous Mages, and the Sorcerers.
They either worship death, or believe in evil gods (Li Xun), or pursue chaos, all of them are terrifying people with extreme thoughts and distorted behaviors. Here, almost every day, there is a large ritual of evil magic.
Therefore, even the cemetery mercenaries are not willing to set foot here easily unless necessary.
And directly south of the Magic Square, which is heavily guarded, is an essential teleportation area for every cemetery city. Several large transdimensional portals are built here.
Therefore, although there are a lot of people in this area, they all come and go quietly, and they never dare to make loud noises.
As for the last functional area, it is the very center of the Magic Square. There was a huge fountain pool, and all the purest liquid negative energy gushed out of it. You don't need to soak in it at all, just stand near the fountain pool for a while, and the mist of magic can quickly replenish the energy loss of the undead creatures. Therefore, many bone spells, corpse witches, and dragon lichs who have exhausted all their magic power in magic experiments will come here for a leisurely walk.
Of course, some demon mercenaries from the abyss plane didn't dare to get too close there, otherwise a level 15 high-level demon would only need half an hour to be infected and change his origin attributes.
The place where the black-robed teleportation appeared was the edge of the teleportation array area in the southern part of the square. It doesn't take long to stand here before a dense portal suddenly opens, and out of it comes some mysterious creatures wearing strange robes.
In the middle of the black-robed gaze, a high-ranking corpse witch wearing a cemetery-style robe and a Stratholme badge on his chest appeared in front of him.
"Lord Wingnos, you're back! The Legend of Karthas has been waiting for you for a long time! ”
The black-robed spellcaster is none other than Wingonors, a rising star in the Dragon Lich clan, who now has a 17-level cast level. At this moment, when he heard the word "legend", Wengnos paused slightly, and then walked quickly towards the magic tower as usual.
This time, he has an important mission.
The black mysterious fragment in the storage ring can be very important for the duel that the Necropolis will face in two days, and it cannot be missed. Therefore, he did not dare to delay, and hurried to the magical abode of Lord Karthas under the guidance of the high-ranking corpse witch.
At this moment, the news of Karthas's advanced legendary sorcerer had already spread throughout the Great Cemetery, and it had become the hottest topic among all the cemetery subordinates. The first hero in the cemetery to cross the threshold of legend on his own was actually from the dragon lich clan, which made all dragon lich not only proud and proud, but also with indescribable envy and jealousy.
And Wengnos, as the first dragon lich to offer "loyalty" to Karthas, was naturally entrusted with an important task. This trip to the Ghost Tree Forest is his first mission!
