Chapter 393: The Dust Has Settled
After killing the Eye Demon, Henry did not continue his attack, but stood still and stroked the large amber gem at the top of the Archmage's Staff. Because Shangla had stopped all spell casting, it seemed that she was struggling with whether to hand over the life box. There is no need for him to be in a hurry, anyway, the longer the time drags on, the better it will be for him. After all, advanced protection spells usually have a short duration, and they all expire in a matter of minutes.
Things in this world sometimes seem so funny, and the legendary lich who was confident one second will start thinking about surrender the next. A few minutes ago he had planned to turn Henry into a lich and make him his servant, but now it was all reversed.
As the saying goes, the line between hunter and prey is very blurred, and swapping places is a common occurrence. Shangla has an absolute advantage in terms of spell casting ability, as well as the quantity and quality of his subordinates. But because of a little carelessness on the enemy, he was caught off guard by the Zhengneng Storm in an instant, and not only did his subordinates lose everything, but even he was seriously injured.
It is important to know that the caster's hands are second only to the vocal organs, and all spell-casting actions must be completed by it. Unless you can reach a level like a half-lich and be able to cast magic with only your soul, your speed will be halved if you lose one of them, and your failure rate will increase.
Of course, a very small number of strange mages will train themselves to cast spells with their feet, so that they will not be helpless when this happens. But these are all crooked ways, and the real masters don't bother to waste their time on them. After all, a person's energy is limited, and it is not enough to learn magic and practice it. Where is there time to exercise your feet.
Shangalla thought for a moment before speaking, "I can give you Reyn's life box. At the same time, you can also take out countless treasures, beautiful women, magic items, and even (slave) subordinates with special bloodlines. As for the requirements, there is only one point. That's to get my freedom back. ”
Obviously, he was not willing to be accused by others, and tried to bargain with something else. After all, the life box is the most fundamental thing for a lich to maintain immortality, and mastering this is equivalent to pinching the opponent's life, and as long as you are willing, you can completely destroy it at any time. No one wants to spend their days in fear, not even the undead.
"If I had just said such a condition, would you have agreed? So please don't insult our intelligence. There are only two options, either give up resistance and tell where the life box is hiding, or just wait to be sealed in a box. To show good faith. I'll show you one thing first. ”
After Henry finished speaking, he took out a Mithril box that exuded positive energy from the dimensional bag, and at the same time there was a sneer on his face. "See? Not only does this box counteract the Lich's self-healing powers, but it also gives the undead a pinprick feeling at all times. So it's best not to engage in this kind of boring temptation, my endurance has not been very good. ”
The Lich is basically a group of non-believing realists, and when the ultimatum is given, Shangra falls silent again. He now completely understood that the other party's action was aimed at him, not only did he have a careful plan and arrangement, but he also made very good preparations. However, he is not without a chance to turn the tables, after all, the place where the life box is stored is quite dangerous, as long as he does something secretly, he may be able to make everyone go and never return.
After figuring it out. His attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Reyn's life box and I are both in an underground vault in the Kalin Desert. There's an army of the undead guarding it at all times. ”
"It's a wise choice, get rid of all your protective magic now. After all, I need a relatively safe environment to repair the portal now, so ......" Henry said, glancing back at Rein, who was only a skull, and the meaning was self-evident. Even if he breaks a hand, the lich is a lich after all, and there is definitely no problem if he can't beat it and escape.
After swearing a little fox in her heart, Shangla honestly began to lift the protection one by one. At the moment when the "Stone Skin Technique" disappeared at the end, Fed, who had been hiding around, suddenly came out of the shadows. I saw her stab the short sword out, and the sharp blade pierced through the dry skin and into the gap between the shins, and with a sharp turn of the wrist, the lich's head and body were separated.
"Well done!" Henry complimented with a smile, then picked up the lich's head from the ground and threw it directly into the box. He had already seen that Shangla was not at ease at all, and there were not necessarily any traps waiting for him in that underground secret room, and it was not good to say that the other masters of the talisman were hiding here.
Feder playfully wagged his tail and asked, "What are you going to do with this guy?" Do you really want to go to the Kalin Desert to find the life box? ”
"I don't have any plans to do that just yet. Maybe wait a while, but these two lichs can't be resurrected as long as they're not dead. ”
Henry said as he picked up the cloak made of black dragon skin from the ground. Most of the magic items on Shangora's body were destroyed in the Positive Energy Storm, with only the cloak and robes remaining. You don't have to think about it to know that these two magical items must be quite powerful. After a brief identification, he was given specific information.
――――――――――――――
Cloak of Black Dragon:
Shanghella had slain two dragons in his early years, and the skin of one of them was made into this cape. It is blessed with a lot of powerful magic, which not only makes the wearer immune to the attacks of normal weapons, but also has a very high resistance to various magics.
Equipment Capabilities:
Immunity to normal weapons
Immunity to immobilization-type magic
Ninety percent increase in resistance to strong acids
Magic Resistance increased by 30%.

"Haha! Look at what I found, a piece of intact full-body armor, and a defensive charm helmet. Damn, these bone racks are really rich, crossbows, two-handed swords, shields, and one-handed swords are all enchanted, even arrows. Kogan yelled excitedly as he continued to rummage over the corpse.
Viconia sneered, picked up the robe on the ground and said to the dwarf, "Don't just keep your eyes on weapons and armor, those things together are not as valuable as this evil archmage's robe. "As a dark elf, she is quite sensitive to things like magic, so she recognized this magical item at a glance.
Henry smiled and nodded after changing his cape. "Yes, with the one in my hand, I have obtained a total of two evil archmage robes."
"I just care about how much this thing is worth? Can it be more than a delicate full-body armor? Kogan asked, looking puzzled. In his mind, the robes sewn from these rags were worth about a thousand gold coins at most, and they were not comparable to metal weapons and armor at all.
Without changing his face, Henry said a number that almost caused a cardiac arrest on the dwarven warrior: "At least 30,000 gold coins...... ...... per piece
"Thirty thousand!!! Or is it every !! Just a few strips of rags?!! It's a robbery! Kogan was so excited that he couldn't say anything.
"Calm down, my good dwarf, this is not a rag. Each archmage's robe is woven from special magical silk threads, which can be sold for more than 10,000 gold coins per kilogram, and the production is extremely limited. Coupled with all kinds of powerful enchantments, 30,000 gold coins is already a very low amount. Henry patiently explained. He didn't plan to sell these two precious robes, after all, this level of magic items was very limited, even if he didn't need to collect them for the time being.
Kogan sat on the ground and sighed. "Well, well, since the materials are so expensive, it makes sense that the price is higher. However, these mages are really rich, and we can give priority to them when we choose targets in the future. ”
"Rest assured, in my mind, mages are second only to dragons in terms of priority." Henry joked as he grabbed all the souls floating in the air and stuffed them into the gem. He didn't want to leak the news because of a small mistake, and in the end, the guide zhì and the magic talisman would never die.
As for Shangla and Reyn's lifebox, let's wait until the half-lich Kangus is subdued. With his current strength, he may not have a problem against one or two Talisman Masters, but if he exceeds three, he may only be able to resist for a while, and once he exceeds five, he may even have difficulty escaping. After all, these powerful undead creatures are all legendary spellcasters, and the Archmage's Staff will be burst immediately after a wave of chain spells.
After packing up all the loot and packing the heads of the two lichs, the group began to inspect the damage to the teleporter. After all, this is the only way to leave, and if you don't fix it, you can only use powerful spells to forcibly destroy the magic runes on the ground and walls, because they block all teleportation magic in the miniature half-plane.
Henry would never have done it if it wasn't a last resort. You must know that these walls and floors are permeated with a large amount of mythril and gems, plus intricately carved magic runes, and the cost of one square meter is at least five thousand gold coins. There are two circular rooms in the entire half-plane, which together are almost a few hundred square meters, which means that once destroyed, it is equivalent to spilling 2.5 million gold coins into the sea.
He had never smashed something so valuable, at least not his own. Shanggra didn't build magical walls and floors for no reason, its biggest function was to ensure safety. Forbidden teleportation means that no living being, including the gods, can enter without exact coordinates and a teleportation key.
It can be said that this is a completely safe refuge at all, specially designed to hide from powerful enemies such as gods, devil dukes, and demon lords. As for the entrance to the bridge area, it should be specially designed to facilitate the entry and exit of important subordinates. It seems that the Gu Zhi team guarding the mansion really has a connection with the magic rune, maybe it is still Shangra's direct subordinate. (To be continued......)
