Chapter 370: Cemetery
Humans have been living in Ammu for thousands of years, but with the rise of the Shane Empire, the region became a unified nation, reaching its current level in DR768. During Shane's rise, most of the elves living in Am's Forest were either killed or enslaved, a fact that has not been forgotten by the elves who now live here. With Am's independence, the place gradually became a center of trade, the people began to become wealthy, and the society prospered. A series of plague and monster events unleashed by mages of certain schools have caused the citizens of Amm to have a poor opinion of arcane spellcasters.
This history has made the cemetery of Ascatra a haven for tomb robbers, and after countless years of restoration and capping, a large burial complex has formed underground. Every year, tomb robbers can dig up a large number of valuable funerary objects, including precious magical artifacts and some ancient artworks.
Standing at the entrance of the cemetery, Henry suddenly felt in a trance, as if something was calling him. It felt rather strange, as if a voice was whispering in my ear all the time, and it seemed like a direct call to the soul. He noticed that the system's logo on his hand began to burn, as if to indicate that there was something extremely important nearby.
"Hey! What is the matter with you, suddenly you stay in place without saying a word, looking like you have been controlled by a spell. Viconia walked over and asked with concern. Since the two had an intimate relationship, there has been a little more trust between each other, and although there was a little dispute in the end, it did not have any bad effects.
Henry reluctantly smiled and replied, "Nothing. It may be that I didn't sleep well in the morning. So I suddenly felt a little dizzy just now. ”
"You'd better keep your spirits up. Because according to the markings on this map, there is an entrance to the underground not far ahead, and if you keep doing this, I'm afraid that you won't be able to walk a few steps and accidentally trigger the trap. ”
"Don't worry, I'll get my way in." Henry knew that Viconia was doing it for his own good. But there is no way to say anything about this kind of thing that involves the secrets of the soul, only patience, patience, and patience until the cause is found.
Kogan touched his beard thoughtfully, then shouted, "I know." You must be a little depressed because you didn't cut anyone last night. Don't worry, I've been in this situation before, and I'll be fine if I go down there and find a rotten zombie to chop and chop. ”
The dwarf's words made Henry laugh and cry, but he nodded with a smile on his face. "Thank you for your construction, I'll try it when I get underground."
Edwin's eyes were rolling, and he didn't know what bad idea he was making. Fed, who had been following him, leaned over and whispered a warning, "Be careful, red-robed mage. My eyes will always be on you, and if I detect the slightest suspicious movement, this sharp dagger will pierce your heart. ”
"Don't be nervous, I'll do my duty as a mage." Edwin replied with a dry laugh. He mentally cursed everyone again. Pretending not to care, he kept following the back of the group.
Feder had already been told by Henry to stay behind everyone. She was happy with her current situation. I don't do much work, but the pay is pretty good. It was only one night's work that he had acquired a sharp backstabbing dagger and a pair of stealth boots. You must know that if these things are sold on the market, I am afraid that there will be thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins. She was going to stay under the new boss, and she didn't have anywhere else to go anyway.
The entrance to the underground is a white round tower-shaped tomb that looks like it has been abandoned for a long time and is covered in dust and cobwebs. No one could have imagined that this had actually been hollowed out by the shadow thief, and the qiē in front of him was just a careful disguise. Henry carefully pressed the mechanism next to him, and only to hear a soft "click" sound, the heavy stone door opened automatically.
Looking at the deep passage, he directly blessed the dwarf with the "Light Technique". Kogan pulled out the two axes on his waist and walked down first, followed by Viconia, who had night vision, Henry blessed himself with the "Iron Skin" to become the third, and the next was the red-robed mage Edwin, and Fed's queen as always.
"Damn! Everyone be careful, the ground here is potholed and uneven at all. Kogan, who had nearly tripped over, cursed under his breath. He felt that the level of burrowing of the shadow thieves was simply too poor, and he was afraid that the dwarves who did not even have a full beard (referring to those who were not yet fifty years old and underage) were better than them.
The poisonous tongue queen who followed behind hurriedly pushed her shield and reminded: "Be quiet! Do you want all the monsters down there to know we're coming? ”
"I'd rather fight to the death with monsters than go through this broken ......." Kogan's voice grew quieter and quieter, and by the time he reached the last word, no one could hear him but himself.
As he went deeper, Henry felt that the power of this summoning was gradually getting stronger, especially when he was about to see the end, and the muffled whispers in his ears could already be heard clearly. It kept shouting, "Change...... It is a change of self...... Come on...... Come to me...... I can give you the strength of poverty...... From the Unreal to the Real ......"
At the same time, his soul was being burned by an unknown force, and the pain was so intense that it was simply unbearable. Sweat soaked all the clothes on his body in just one minute, and even his breathing became rapid and heavy. Several of the other teammates noticed that something seemed to be wrong, and they all stopped and watched.
"Damn! What's wrong with you, you're so hot. Viconia burned her fingers just by touching them. This is simply not the temperature that can be emitted by the human body, and I am afraid that ordinary fire elements are nothing more than that.
Kogan pulled out his jug and poured all the cool water on Henry's head, hoping to lower the temperature for him, but the water evaporated before it could touch his skin. He grew his mouth in surprise: "Oh my God! I bet he just had to rush down and give the undead a warm hug now. You can burn them to ashes. ”
"It looks like our adventure is coming to an early end. He's in a dangerous state right now. If you don't rush to the temple, I'm afraid your life will be in danger. ”
After checking it with a divine technique. Viconia gave a direct answer. Henry's body temperature now exceeds that of ordinary flames, and he is also losing a lot of water, although it is not known what the reason is, but it is definitely not possible to continue the expedition, because he himself is not very conscious.
"Nope! You can't just give up so lightly! Aren't you a priest, hurry up and treat him. We've got to keep going, and the Nexriel Scroll is lying somewhere here. As soon as Edwin heard that he was leaving, he exploded. He has spent so much thought and paid countless costs, how can he return in vain at such a time.
Suddenly. A dagger was placed directly on the neck of the red-robed mage. Fett wagged his tail and whispered, "Shut up! If you dare to say one more word, this dagger will pierce the throat. ”
If it was someone from the Shadow Thieves Guild, he would have shut up immediately when he saw her like this. Almost everyone knew that there were two obvious signs of the demon's anger, one was a wagging tail, and the other was a low roar. If both signs appear, then kneel on the ground and beg for mercy while you can still breathe.
Edwin obviously didn't know this, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't care too much. After all, he was a thirteenth-level spell mage, and he also had some abilities unique to red-robed mages. For example, the magic tattoo that was glowing on his neck almost instantly created a physical barrier around his body.
This is a unique magical technique of the Ser Red Robe, which can engrave a specific magic trick on the body and release it directly when needed. It doesn't need to be memorized alone. There is also no need to prepare in advance, except that the cost of making zuò is quite expensive. It's almost perfect.
There are very few places where a mage can get a tattoo on his body, so many red-robed mages will even shave all their hair in order to add one more. Even then, the number of tattoos should not exceed a maximum of three, otherwise there will be unforeseen consequences. There used to be some self-righteous guys who wanted to break through the limit, and even cut off an important part of their lower body, and then tattooed a fourth, but when he used it, he found that due to the confusion of magical energy, there was no way to activate it.
Edwin obviously didn't shave his hair, so he only had two tattoos all over his body, one of which was the fourth-level magic "Soul Armor Technique" that he had just used, and the other was the "Teleportation Technique" as a means of escape. He glared at Fidel fiercely, and in one hand he had the spell materials ready, ready to unleash deadly magic at any time.
Seeing this, Kogan immediately drew his axe, and as soon as the mage dared to pronounce a word from his mouth, he would immediately rush over with his weapon. Although his brain is not very good, he can still distinguish between distant and close relatives. Moreover, warriors and mages are born with certain contradictions, and Edwin often expresses a sense of superiority, which makes dwarves unhappy.
Seeing that the inner bar was about to explode, Viconia, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, also joined in with the magic flail "Years". The three of them surrounded the red-robed mage in the middle in a zigzag shape, and as long as he dared to make the slightest movement, he would immediately usher in a stormy attack. You must know that the "soul armor technique" is made from a part of the caster's soul, and once it is broken, the consequences are quite severe, the internal organs of the light ones will be damaged, and the heavy ones are likely to become fools or vegetative people.
Edwin felt everyone's hostility and tensed all his nerves. There was no way he could deal with three good players at the same time at such a close distance, especially since the other party also had a priest of no lower rank.
