Chapter 52: Lu Shenshu
The identity of this dungeon is basically already being revealed.
The buildings that are full of views are generally baroque and fresh and bright, but in the treatment of the external contours, domes, and masonry walls, simple horizontal lines and simple styles are adopted, revealing a thick, solid, and solemn atmosphere.
This was the common style of construction in the northern cities of Saint-Gerdelania in the late Renaissance.
Some of the books and letters found in the houses, the writing habits, Jutland characters, the layout and design of the furniture, and the words on the shop signs in the streets and alleys all reveal the Jutland flavor in almost every detail.
The tricolor flag and insignia of St. Gerdelania imprinted on the armory equipment in the armory are undoubtedly the strongest evidence.
Porusna, that's the name of the city.
"Three thousand years ago, Saint-Gerdelania and Saint-Laurent fought a ten-year-long war, in which no less than a hundred cities were affected, but the most remembered is Porusna, because the marshal from the family of Saint Laurentis used a forbidden spell to make the entire city disappear into the Western Continent. ”
The Grimome is very arrogant, although it has guessed that it is Porusna, but it will not open its mouth without collecting conclusive evidence.
Homer doesn't allow herself to make mistakes!
In fact, if you go to the town hall to look through the literature and daily official documents, or go to the Duke's mansion to look at the family crest, everything will be revealed, but with Downton's strength, it is obviously impossible to wander around the streets and alleys full of undead creatures, it is too dangerous.
"What forbidden spell is so powerful?" Tang Zheng didn't doubt it, because he had been together for so long, he had never seen a mistake in the magic codex.
"Plane Dipping!" Homer projected the text, "Be careful, the spider is about to spew venom." ”
"I'm staring!"
Downton raised the double-layered tower shield with his left hand, and with a fierce force, he slapped it fiercely towards the shadow spider that had just opened the opening device in front of him.
On the long street, the battle was going on, and there were already many tattered corpses of spiders lying around.
Bang, the green venom only spewed out a little, and the spider was beaten and closed its mouthparts, and the mouth full of venom was choked back, making it even more irritable.
Despite the chelicera's vigorous swing, it couldn't even break through its defenses in the face of Downton, who was wearing a set of 'Hundred Warriors' heavy armor.
Ghoul No. 4 had been completely broken, falling on a corner not far away, and No. 5 and No. 6 were not afraid of death, and were holding the shadow spider that was more majestic than a war horse, showing the effect of the meat shield to the fullest.
Celes floats in the air, blasting phosphorus rockets at the spider.
"So, Porusna is no longer on the plane where the Westland is located, is it?" Downton asked, "Where are we?" or what is above this dungeon?"
In the multiverse, there are many planes, the vast ones are like stars, and the Western Earth Continent is only one of the lower planes.
"I don't know. Homer gave a helpless expression, "Even the marshal can't be sure, because the Plane Land Sinking Technique is an incomplete super forbidden spell. ”
"Then what's the matter with these ghouls?
The Undead Plague is a plague that has been passed down from the plane of the dead to turn human beings into the undead, and is said to have been discovered by a powerful evil lich while studying the activation of bone golem cells.
This is an invention that should not exist in the world, and even the undead are taboo about it, and it is expressly forbidden to use it.
"There is no doubt that there has definitely been an outbreak of the undead plague in this city, and that's how those undead creatures came to be, and as for the cause of the outbreak, it is obviously a mystery that has been hidden under history. ”
The Grimome is not a god, although it has existed for a long time, but the Western Earth Continent is too big, and there are some very secret events that Homer cannot know.
"The marshal is probably the one in the know, but it's a pity that he can't crawl out of the grave and tell us the truth. Downton teased, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and the ogre saber that slashed at the shadow spider was also deflected.
"What's wrong?" Celence startled, Downton rarely made a mistake.
"I'm going to be okay with the undead plague in this city, right? I don't want to be undead!" Downton thought he would rather die if he became a ragged ghoul.
"Three thousand years have passed, and the bacteria are probably dried. ”
Downton had just breathed a sigh of relief, but Homer's next sentence made his expression bitter.
"But there is still a danger of infection, and besides, the city is full of rotting ghouls, and there will definitely be other germs, so you might as well prepare some potions in case you need them. "You don't have to worry too much, you are a paladin, and many magic techniques can purify your body." ”
"That's good!" Downton reassured.
"Now that I've talked about the plague, I'm having more doubts, who built that portal to Raven Ridge?"
Downton's brow furrowed.
"What is Celest's true identity? As far as her brother's gorgeous magic costume can be used as some heirlooms of middle nobles, how can she wear them casually?"
Downton looked at Celence, the young girl with a childish face, blinking large sapphire eyes, and a look of innocence.
As a naturally reincarnated banshee, Celes has lost too many memories.
"What kind of magic have you chosen to sacrifice?"
It's been two days since he took the armory, and he has reached the level of the peak of the first order, and he can attack the second order at any time, but Downton is not ready for everything.
"I want them all, what should I do? Can you discuss with the cheap god and buy one get one free?" Downton commanded the number six card slot, and this guy reacted more than the number five.
"Please talk about it later when you fall asleep. Homer projected his expression and rolled his eyes widely, "That's all dragon-slaying level magic skills, even if the cheap god loses all his temperance, it is impossible to give it away!"
"Then ask for the divine armor, fifteen hundred soul sacrifices, fifteen days to pay off!" Downton was actually very satisfied with this transaction.
Divine armor, dragon slaying level divine art, after activation, consumes magic energy, will form a layer of armor on the surface of the skin, for the war level and any magic, martial arts, and magic of the war level and below the war level are all exempted, for the judgment level, you can reach half of the injury avoidance rate.
Compared to the undead confession, which is also a dragon-slaying level, the divine armor can be said to be super practical, of course, it is that Downton's rank is too low, and the reserve of magic energy is too small, which can only support the armor to open for three seconds, and then the magic energy will be exhausted, so it is completely unusable unless it is critical.
"Stop playing, quickly hack it to death, and then go catch the ghoul demon servant, and hit the second order of the soul today!"
Although Downton's cultivation speed is already very fast, the Demon Book is still not satisfied, at least in the face of the Robinson trio and those low-level undead creatures, Downton has to reach the level where he can protect himself.
"Hmm!" Downton made his big move, a shadow spider that had been seriously injured, and there was no pressure on him.
A giant seal easily slices it in half.
After digging out the core and wiping the blood away and putting it away, Downton walked over to the Four and chopped off its head.
Although the failure rate of the undead confession is still very high, but with Celes as the lead detective, Downton's search for ghouls is not too simple, and with the huge number, it took him less than half an hour to have the Demon Servants Seven and Eight behind him.
The four ghouls wore full Warrior hoplite armor to hide their ugly bodies, much cooler than they had been.
Downton was worried about attracting the attention of the undead creatures or the Robinson trio, so he chose a secluded courtyard, and the ghouls roaming around him were also cleaned up a few days ago.
"Sereth, you take the ghoul to guard the door and deal with the unexpected. Homer floats in the air, projecting the text, "Prepare for the haode words, let's go!"
The war space opened, and the big bronze hand had already piled all the magic stones accumulated during this time on the floor.
Downton sat on the ground, put a dozen weapons beside him, and began to meditate.
In less than a minute, soul power clusters appeared around them, and then they stretched into soul angels, absorbing magical energy, condensing them into feathers, and shooting them towards Downton's body.
With the passage of time, the soul angels appeared one after another, and finally reached twenty, after filling the Downton soul seeds with magic energy, an ethereal and melodious chant suddenly sounded in their bodies, and the speed of condensing feathers suddenly increased by two times, and the process of impacting the second order of the soul began to begin.
The power of the soul angel was working at full strength, and with the blessing of the holy song, the tide of demonic energy from all directions poured into the courtyard like a frenzied tide.
The concentration increases rapidly, and starry spots frequently erupt.
Celes knew that this promotion was very important to Downton, so she was very worried about him, and looked back frequently, Zuihou simply hid in the corner and peeked, if it wasn't for the fear of being reprimanded by Homer, she would have come in earlier.
The entire courtyard was almost full of magical light spots, like fireflies, which surrounded Downton's body with the traction of the soul angel, almost drowning him.
The saturated soul seeds were unable to carry magical energy, sending them to Downton's body.
"Don't be in a hurry, gather more!" Even if Homer projected the words, the meditative Downton could not be seen.
These magic energy gathered in the body will be the liliang that impacts the soul seed, just like the seawater, the more it accumulates, the greater the strength of the impact will naturally be, and the higher the success rate, but not all magic people can endure this kind of pain beyond the limit.
