Chapter 419: The seal that is about to be opened
Nisriel is a very old spellcaster organization a long, long time ago, and has always adhered to the principle of focusing on research and low-key development, rarely appearing in the eyes of ordinary people. However, in a place as dangerous as the Faren Continent, even if you keep a low profile, it will inevitably invite disaster. Hundreds of years ago, a secret study they were conducting caught the attention of a powerful half-lich, and on the day the project was completed, a powerful necromantic magic descended from the sky and swept through the mage's city.
Pedestrians walking on the street suddenly found that their bodies began to become unwell, their flesh and blood were decomposing little by little, and it was not long before a large number of people died. If you think that's the end of it, you're very wrong, the dead get back on their feet after just a few seconds. But it was only the skeleton that stood up, and the flesh and internal organs were all rotten. These bloodied skeletons kill people like irrational madmen, and the process repeats for those they kill.
As the number of skeletons grew, the situation became more and more uncontrollable, like a plague, one infecting the other, and it only took an hour to turn a city of more than 30,000 people into a bloody purgatory. Undoubtedly, the mastermind of this qiē is Kangus, and the legendary magic it wields is called the "Horror of the Dead".
At the cost of countless lives, this evil guy got his wish and obtained the results of his research. It didn't last long, though, as several legendary lichs launched a surprise attack a few years later, successfully defeating it and sealing it with a special magical ritual, as they didn't know how to kill a powerful half-lich.
These lichs were the survivors of the Nice Lille mages of the time, and the result of the research was the legendary magic "Horror Chill". It can be said that this is a bloody case caused by a legendary spell. This shows that this kind of research and development is expensive. How precious and rare magic is so powerful. Even the half-lich can't help but take it.
Henry took the parchment that had just been copied out with magic and read it roughly, and finally understood the principle and power of the "terrifying deep cold". This is a legendary spell of plastic energy, which belongs to the use of primordial magic to create a blizzard similar to the cold winter season in the north, but the damage to a single creature is not too large, and the main lethality comes from the ultra-low temperature of minus 60 degrees to about 100 degrees.
Maybe this temperature is very deadly to ordinary people, but in the eyes of the caster, it is nothing, and an elemental isolation spell such as "protection against cold" can be solved lightly. It was clear that this magic was dispensable to Henry. In the end, it was barely in the pocket for a relatively long time (twenty hours).
As for the lich with only his head left, he was split in half by Kogan with an axe. After all, just promised not to pee on its head just now does not mean that it will spare its life. With the last enemy dead, the battle came to an end for the time being, and everyone began to search the house and the ground for loot.
Maybe it's because these two lichs are so confident in their own strength that they don't worry about being defeated at all. In short, Henry found two identical life boxes on the wall, both of which were special magic badges, no different from the life boxes of the previous two elemental lichs, and it seemed that these guys were quite identified with the identity of the mage of Nisriel.
Just when he put away the badge. Viconia suddenly ran over with a ruby ring. "Look at this magical item, I can feel the magical energy it emitted. That's what the lich used to perform "simulacrum" just now. ”
"Don't worry, let me take a closer look." As he spoke, Henry took the ring and examined it carefully, and soon got specific information.
――――――――――――――――
Ring of Bertlym:
This ring is a powerful magical item created by the Lich Bertram, the guy you just killed. It was inspired by the "Ring of Guth" in the eye socket of the half-lich Congus, but it was far from the same level of enchantment or effect. Judging from the alchemy level of a lich, it's not too bad, after all, you can't ask too much.
Equipment Capabilities:
Accelerates the healing of the wearer's wound while slowly restoring vitality
Magic Resistance increased by 10%.
Special Abilities:
Once a day, Level 8 magic "Simulacrum"
Once a day, level 5 magic "Spell Immunity"
―――――――――――――――――
It can be said that this ring is quite good, especially the daily "simulacrum" is very useful for both warriors and mages. After all, in the process of copying, including weapons, amulets, rings, etc., all the magic items that work will not be pulled down, which means that not only can spells be cast, but also physical attacks can be performed. Of course, these copied things, like people, can only be stored for a while, and when the time comes, they will disappear immediately.
Henry wiped the ash from his ring and shouted at the dwarven warrior, "Kogan! Then! As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the Ring of Cartien over.
Because he knew that the next battle Dwarven Berserker was one of the main forces, and he had to be armed as much as possible. What's more, you will soon get a better ring, which is the "Ring of Gus".
"Damn, this thing looks a little sissy, I've never had a ring on my age." Kogan said with a pout. He was quite dissatisfied with the openwork pattern and the color of the gemstones, and thought that it lacked manliness.
Fei De grabbed it while he wasn't paying attention and laughed and said, "Haha, you don't like it, I like this style of ring the most." ”
"Hey! Come back soon! It was the trophy that the team leader assigned to me, not to mention that I didn't say I didn't like it, I was just complaining about the workmanship. The dwarven warrior shouted, jumping to his feet to snatch back the ring that belonged to him. Unfortunately, his altitude was so low that he couldn't even reach the shoulders of the Demon Elves.
Seeing the two of them making trouble, Henry shook his head helplessly and shouted: "Don't make trouble, hurry up and prepare, there is a half-lich to deal with next." In addition, I have two rings here, a "Guardian Ring" that increases protection and a "Ring of Regeneration" that can speed up wound recovery. ”
Although this battle is a bit dangerous, the harvest is still good. In addition to the above, there is also a delicate chain mail made of Mithril alloy, a pair of Dodge Boots, a blunt strike protection belt, and finally a few ordinary enchanted weapons, which are not too good, but can be worth a few bucks.
It's always nice to sit on the floor and share the spoils, and after a simple coordination, the "Ring of Regeneration" is placed on Viconia's finger, the "Guardian Ring" is taken by Fidel, and finally the boots and belt are worn by Kogan. As for the rest, they are all thrown into the dimensional bag and ready to be sold after the adventure is over.
Everyone is taking a break while checking the stats of their new equipment so that they can adjust their stats for the rest of the battle. Ten minutes later, they entered a secret passage hidden under the floor, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the Half-Lich Conguss's Sealed Lands.
The dark and spacious underground hall is the same as the first two places where the golden torso and hands and feet are kept, even the size of the statues, the undulations of the stairs and passages, and the placement of the sarcophagus are all identical. I have to say that these Nice Lil mages are really rigorous enough, and the overall error of the three sealing locations is no more than two feet.
Viconia felt the energy in the room, and immediately lowered her voice and asked, "In that sarcophagus is the half-lich that has been sealed?" ”
Henry nodded with a stern expression and replied, "That's right, keep the 'anti-death barrier' on everyone's body for a while." This top-notch undead has the ability to capture the souls of creatures, making it difficult for warriors and thieves to resist. Also, don't try to attack with magic because it won't have any effect at all. ”
"Understood! I will do my job as a pastor. With that, Viconia began to pray in a low voice, and after a while, a large number of divine techniques such as "Anti-Death Enchantment", "Anti-Evil Aura", "Praise Art", "Aid Technique", and "Resistance to Fear" were blessed on everyone's head. Perhaps knowing that the Half-Lich is immune to almost all magic and magic, she is not stingy with her magic slots.
As for Henry, he was not idle, and began to chant incantations loudly, and after a while, three passages to the elemental plane were opened, and several creatures exuding terrifying power came out of them. They are: Zaman, the prince of the fire elemental who is burning violently all over his body. Lu, whose body is translucent, looks like the wind elemental prince Xun who has a circle of sharp blades spinning constantly, and the old acquaintance earth elemental prince Sunis.
"I feel evil and unnatural!" Sunis spoke in a deep voice as soon as he appeared.
"That's right, my friend. This is a sealed place of evil half-lich, and I need your help. After saying that, Henry bowed slightly.
He knew very well that it was best to be respectful of these powerful lifeforms from the other world, otherwise they would most likely become resentful, but this was written in red on the spellcaster's manual, and many arrogant people paid the price for not complying with it.
Fire Elemental Prince Zaman. Lu nodded his burning head. "No problem, esteemed legendary druid. In accordance with the ancient contract, we will help you in battle. However, you better move quickly, we have a very limited amount of time to save zài, and once the time is up, we will be teleported back immediately. ”
"Thank you very much, I'm going to open the seal." As he spoke, Henry took out the golden skeleton that had been prepared from the dimensional bag, and at the same time showed a smile that was not easy to detect.
You must know that there are more than a hundred deadly sun gems embedded here, and once they are detonated, they are no worse than those alchemy explosion boxes made before, even if the bones of the half-lich are hard, they will inevitably be injured. After all, positive energy is the nemesis of the undead, and it bursts out from within, and its power can be imagined. (To be continued......)
