Chapter 188: Heavenly Martial Arts
After making sure that the skeleton mage would not see him, Downton led the group back into the sewers, rested for a while, and continued towards the Duke's mansion.
The most troublesome enemies in the sewers are the fishmen, but when the ghouls lead a fish-man shaman to clear the way, they have been stalking and peeping, but wisely choose to stay put.
"These monsters are a problem after all, and you can't clean it up now, but if you get hurt, even if it's a fishman, it can kill you. Homer advised Downton to exterminate the Fishmen.
The cathedral is well defended, and as the most luxurious and central building in the dungeon, the Duke's Mansion must be even more difficult to manage, so try to eliminate hidden dangers.
"If what the mage said is true, the mysterious director is the son of the duke, then this mansion is its home base. Homer felt that there must be a pile of traps inside.
"Not necessarily, maybe those undead creatures with wisdom are like mages, they know whose Duke's Mansion it is, and they don't dare to approach it at all!" Downton had already thought about this question, "You want to think about it, the mysterious master focuses on defending the Cathedral because the Abomination Workshop and the Dark Altar are there, but what is in the Duke's Palace?"
"Hutao, you say!" Homer looked at the two girls.
As long as Cele was with Downton, she didn't think about anything at all, she thought he would do everything, but Hu Tao blinked and listened carefully, but he was too stupid to think about it.
"Vault!" Hu Tao poked his fingers at the door of his head, racking his brains before answering tentatively.
"Yes!"
Seeing Homer's answer, Hu Tao waved his fist excitedly and shouted 'Yay'!
"Vaults are usually filled with collectibles such as gold coins, gems, and antiques, and even if the undead can get them, they have no place to spend them, and they will anger the mysterious owner. Downton felt like he was on his own. Absolutely not moving, "If you get the abomination, you can also increase your strength, but the gold is absolutely not good." ”
"There should still be magic equipment, Hohenzollern is the real power of Jutland, how can he not have a few legendary-level magic items?" Homer had a different opinion. "For example, if that mage gets it, he can instantly increase his strength!"
"If there were any of these things, would the mysterious master not take them with him?" Downton asked rhetorically.
"So you underestimate those wealthy nobles too much, their background is not at all what you can imagine, judging from the current situation, the mysterious master is a magician, what does it do with melee weapons? Homer looked at Serex, "Ever since you gave birth to consciousness. How many humans have you seen?"
Celes shook her head.
"For more than three thousand years in the dungeon, there are definitely no more than ten natives from the Western Earth Continent like you who accidentally broke in through the teleportation array of the Crow Ridge Cemetery, so the treasure is definitely the safest place in the vault. Homer did have more insight than Downton, "It sets those traps against you outsiders." ”
"Yes, after all, none of these undead can get out of Porusna, if a guy steals something from the mysterious master. It came back and saw it, even if it couldn't deal with it itself. It is also possible to summon most of the undead with advanced intelligence to deal with thieves. Downton sighed, "That mysterious master is definitely a guy who is extremely cautious. ”
Downton and Homer's speculation is largely correct, and these traps are mainly used to deal with outsiders who have strayed into it, as well as undead creatures who later turn on their wisdom and do not know the name of their mysterious master.
Hu Tao watched the two of them answer each other, his big eyes glowing with adoration. Nodding her head constantly, she felt that her eldest brother and the magic book were too powerful, and she had deduced so much information without seeing anything.
There were no obstacles along the way, after almost an hour's trek. The team approached the Ducal Palace.
Downton found a total of six sewers leading to the mansion, but they were all too narrow for anyone but Lori to climb into.
"I can do it!" Hu Tao patted his chest and offered himself.
Downton vetoed, he didn't dare let Hu Tao take the risk.
After finding the nearest sewer outlet to the Duke's Palace, Downton lifted the manhole cover and surveyed the surroundings.
There were ghouls roaming the streets, but whenever they approached the walls of the Duke's Palace, they inexplicably turned back and left, as if an invisible hand was pushing them.
"It's a labyrinth magic array!"
Downton was about to ask more about it when a ghoul with excellent hearing spotted him and immediately pounced.
"Let's go!" urged Homer.
Downton jumped out of the sewers, unleashed Quasimodo, and stood by it.
Hu Tao and Celes crawled out, and instead of rushing to the wall under Homer's command, they ran in the opposite direction.
The ghoul got close, and Quasimodo stepped forward and punched it in the face, blasting it away.
"It's going to hit the wall!" Hu Tao clenched his tomahawk, ready to break through the wall, but at the moment of contact, it was like penetrating the fog and directly entering a courtyard.
"Don't stop, go through. Homer urged.
The ghoul got up and tried to continue the chase, only to find the figure of the enemy disappearing into the long street.
"This is coming in?" Looking at the overgrown garden, Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, and was about to run down the corridor, but was stopped by the elemental arm.
"Wait, not yet!"
The mysterious master is very cautious, in order to prevent strangers from trespassing, he arranged a labyrinth magic array on the periphery of the Duke's Palace, and if he wants to crack it, unless he is a knowledgeable legal magician, even if the dragon comes, there is no way to enter.
Homer has made another meritorious service, and under his leadership, the team has appeared in the back garden without danger.
Looking at the fountain that had dried up, Downton suddenly sighed that if it weren't for Homer, even if he was lucky enough to find the dungeon, he wouldn't be able to take anything with him.
"How do you find the vault?" Hu Tao didn't bother to think about it anymore and asked Downton directly.
"Let's look for the study first, there should be an architectural drawing of the entire mansion. "Downton actually understands that such a secret thing as a vault will never be marked on the architectural drawings, and he is looking for drawings just to make it easier to familiarize himself with the mansion.
Passing through the garden and through a baroque corridor, the group entered the spacious hall.
Hu Tao was about to make her way up the stairs when she was stopped by Downton, and then she saw the bronze statue in the middle come to life, wielding a giant sword and killing her.
"Why is it a construct?" Downton knew that the mysterious master was an expert in the discipline of constructing.
Quasimodo was on top and stopped the bronze statue.
"Downton, I'm demonstrating the Heavenly Martial Technique now, and you just happened to use it to comprehend the essence of it. Homer projected a knight in white armor, with a pair of white wings, standing above the clouds, holding a knight's sword, and using various combat skills.
Downton felt that Homer was too childish, and it was too dangerous to use unfamiliar martial arts to fight, but before he could speak, he was severely whipped twice by the elemental arm holding the whip, so he hurriedly complied.
Cross Slash!
Downton's saber reversed and drew a cross, which was supposed to shoot a magic cross, but the saber only lit up for a moment, and nothing happened.
"The timing of the magic infusion is not right!" Homer explained.
Hu Tao peeked at it.
"You can learn from it. Homer didn't hide it from Hu Tao.
"Xiexie you!" Little Lori stared intently at the projection to disguise, wielding a tomahawk and gesturing.
I have to say that although Hu Tao can't think of conspiracies, she is definitely a genius in combat, and in just a few minutes, she can imitate the martial arts taught by Homer.
Heaven Bursts!
The walnut jumped, and the tomahawk struck the bronze statue, and the magic energy immediately vented from the axe blade.
Rumble!
It was like being hit by a heavy cannonball, and the statue was directly blown away, collapsing the wall more than ten meters away.
Quasimodo immediately surrounded it with five abominations, so that the statue could not fight back, and fortunately there were enough meat shields, otherwise there would be no chance for Downton and Hu Tao magic martial arts.
"How's it going?" Hu Tao tilted his chin slightly, very proud.
"Not bad. Homer, who has always rarely praised people, also gave a very high evaluation.
Cross Slash!
Little Lori was even more proud, and with a wave of the battle axe, a cross magic blade was formed, and it shot at the statue, cutting a thumb-deep scar on its body.
Heaven Martial Arts have a divine attribute that increases damage to dark creatures, and when hit, the divine elemental will scorch their bodies.
The mysterious master thinks that there are not many people who can break the labyrinth and enter the Duke's Palace, and a lot of force has been wasted in the cathedral, so the construction puppets arranged in the palace are not very powerful, which is cheaper than Downton.
Under the combined force of abomination, the statue was chopped into pieces without even a single wave.
The team did not rush upstairs, but simply searched all the rooms on the first floor along the corridor, and after determining that it was of little value, they climbed to the second floor.
As soon as the vanguard's ghoul stepped onto the second floor, the armor placed on both sides of the corridor moved, and he rushed towards it with his spear in hand.
"Thirty-six in all, one and a half!" Hu Tao was eager to try, but as soon as he finished speaking, Downton had already pounced.
Offensive skills, Heaven Shines!
Downton was like a meteor, flashing away, rushing through a distance of seven meters, appearing in front of the first armor structure, with both hands left sword and right sword, and at the same time obliquely Xiangshang.
Wow, a cross struck the armor and knocked it back.
Downton twisted his waist and swinged his arms, and the whole person rotated sideways and slashed out.
Paradise Whirlwind!
Knort! Knort!
The two weapons were slashed at the armor, and six consecutive blows slashed the armor into pieces of iron, which fell to the floor with a clatter.
"Wouldn't it, isn't the big brother not as fast as me in learning?" Hu Tao rubbed his eyes, Downton's current combo performance was like he had completely learned the Heavenly Martial Arts, and any trick could be at his fingertips.
"Your comprehension of learning a single trick may be a little higher than Downton's, but his ability to draw inferences will definitely blow you up, and he will be able to integrate things quickly. Homer doesn't think badly of Downton. (To be continued......)
