Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2631 Wax Corpse
Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, obviously he was also a little afraid, but he still said: "Kael, you must not scare yourself."

Kael stopped talking at this time, he was afraid that his mouth would be really crowed.

Although he is only an apprentice and his inspiration is not as strong as that of a formal wizard, he still has a little "surprise" from time to time.And this kind of surprise, to put it bluntly, is a good but not a bad spirit.

Kael prayed silently in his heart: He was just talking nonsense just now, it must not be effective, please...

"Although Wai's words were a bit off-putting, at least what he said was right." Angel couldn't bear to see the two apprentices huddled together and trembled, and finally said: "There is a fork of normal size, and it has the same nature as that dog hole. In fact, it is easier for us to discover the clues. But don't underestimate the abilities of wizards."

Angel didn't say that to comfort them, and it was true.

Don't look at them as if they were unsuspecting, and walked straight forward without any fear.But both Angel and Earl Hei were observing the surrounding details in their own way.

For example, the olfactory anchor point set by the Black Earl.Also, Angel was also observing the direction of the magic lines on the surrounding walls and ground.

Assuming that the dog hole is really big enough to be real, then the corresponding size must correspond to the corresponding complex magic patterns.Angel can completely determine the specific situation through the direction of the magic pattern, which is easier to judge than the current dog hole.

Angel: "Speaking of which, I'm really looking forward to the fact that there is a dog hole as big as you said, which can just solve our doubts. Is it a human-controlled trap, or... some kind of creature?"

Wood can become spirits, and stones on walls can become spirits. Isn't this a basic operation?Of course, you can think of it this way, the real objects that give birth to spirits need the right time, place and people, otherwise, there would not be so few spirits in the wizarding world.

Others listened to Angel's words in reverse. After all, who wouldn't want to encounter unknown dangers during the expedition?

However, Angel really wanted to meet a large "dog hole", and solving doubts was only the second thing. What he wanted to know more was, what was the reason for the "dog hole" to discover their existence?

You know, this is not the first time.

Although outsiders only regard Angor's main job as an alchemist, Angor's own ranking is mainly illusion, supplemented by alchemy.

In fact, Angel did indeed do this.His illusion, as long as the power of nightmare is added, even Sanders will be difficult to defeat at a glance.This means that Angor's illusion attainments have far surpassed his own realm.Even if you encounter an opponent at the level of real knowledge, it is not difficult to temporarily control the opponent through illusion.

But this time, Angel has encountered Waterloo in succession in the illusion that he thinks he is best at.

When the dog hole appeared for the first time, Angel didn't pay attention because he didn't know the principle of the dog hole.

Later, I heard Earl Hei say that when the dog hole meets people, it will open, but no one will close it.At that time, although he didn't show anything, he silently remembered it in his heart.

Until they entered the stinking ditch later, Angel also strengthened the concealment ability of the illusion under the guise of adding a few more layers of purification force fields.Angel just took this precaution subconsciously, but unexpectedly encountered the dog hole for the second time.

However, this time, under the enhanced illusion, the dog hole still found them in the illusion.

This made Angel very eager to know, how did the dog hole sense them?The answer to this question might give him a better understanding of the Nightmare Art.Even if it doesn't work, at least it can make up for the shortcomings of illusion.

It can be said that no matter what the answer is, it will be an essential improvement for Angel.

If it weren't for being the leader of this expedition, Angel might have gone to study the dog cave now.However, this matter is not in a hurry. As long as the underground maze is still there, he believes that he will encounter the dog hole again...

Even if the reality can't be met, isn't there still a Nightmare Realm?

……

Angor suppressed his eagerness to move, let out a deep breath, and reverted to the "reliable team leader" persona.

"Don't worry about the dog hole for the time being, our goal this time is not the dog hole."

"Go ahead, if you don't go the wrong way, it shouldn't be too far from the Ladder of the Hanging Prison." Angel: "After all, Zhou said that the wood spirit is a bit timid, and it really ran here , and won’t run too far.”

Because, the monsters in the stinking ditch are much more terrifying than the shaman ghosts above.

Even if the wood spirit can rely on the talent of "playing dead" to pretend to be dead for several years without being discovered by monsters, Angel believes that even so, it is basically impossible for it to stay in the stinky ditch for too long.

This place is full of darkness, filth, filth, and unbearable odors. Even energy beings like Su Ling have to return to the purification force field, let alone the wood spirit who is born with a "purity aura"?

"That's the reason, but the premise is that we really didn't go wrong." Doakes muttered beside him.

Angel ignored Doakes, he didn't go the wrong way, and he would know if he walked a little further.If there are a lot of traces of monsters nearby, you can basically confirm that you have gone the wrong way.vice versa.

On the road again.

But this time, the atmosphere was much quieter.

It wasn't until Angor projected a familiar pattern onto the light screen that the stagnant atmosphere began to dissipate amid doubts.

This pattern is slightly broken, and even the color has almost faded, but the general outline can still be seen.

A black hollow circle was evenly divided into two halves by a beveled line, and in each of the two semicircles, there was a silhouette of a silhouette.

The specific faces can no longer be seen clearly, but it can be seen that in the left half circle is a man wearing a hat, and in the right half circle is a woman with long hair.

If it is the first time to see this pattern, everyone will definitely look confused.However, not long ago, they saw the exact same pattern, and that pattern was still complete and clear.

"This is... the pattern of the Mirror Demon God?" Doakes frowned, "Where did you find it?"

Angel pointed in one direction first, but because the outside was dark and dirty, everyone didn't use their mental strength.Therefore, in the end, Angor directly simulated the place where the pattern was found through the phantom light screen.

The first picture that appeared was a dilapidated and mottled wall, which was normal in the stinking ditch, and was basically corroded by the dark and dirty air.And in the middle of the wall, there was a protruding high platform, on which lay a thin corpse like dry wax.And on the dry skin on the body surface of this corpse, the pattern of the mirror demon god was engraved.

"Is this a wax seal?" Earl Black asked suspiciously.

Angel nodded: "Well, the wax seal used after death is of a very high grade. Judging from the pattern on his body, the identity of this wax corpse may be one of the Demon God cultists back then."

Doakes asked in surprise: "If this is the case, then this is a wax corpse that is nearly ten thousand years old?"

Angel: "Because the grade of the wax is very good, it is not ruled out that it can be sealed with wax for thousands of years. But the specific situation, I haven't directly touched the wax corpse, so I still can't judge it accurately."

After a pause, Angel asked, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Vai: "Is...is there any danger?"

Angel shook his head: "I don't know, but the message from Earl's fan said that no living things were sensed. However, the location of the corpse is quite strange. The high platform protruding from the middle of the wall...is just It seems that it is specially protruded to present this wax corpse."

It is precisely because the location of the wax corpse is a bit strange, Angel did not take everyone there directly, but simulated it with an illusion first, and listened to everyone's opinions.

"Since it's weird, then, why don't you go? Anyway, you've seen the corpse, and you know that he might be a disciple of the Mirror Demon God, so that's enough." Wai said timidly.

Angel did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at other people, to be precise, at Doakes and Earl Hei.

It was rare for Doakes to express his opinion, but Earl Hei said after a moment of silence, "Go over and have a look. My previous inspiration has not changed. At least there is no danger here that could threaten us."

After finishing speaking, Earl Hei tapped Angor's shoulder with a stone slab, as if signaling him to hurry forward.

But Angor was very clear in his heart. Earl Hei was not only urging him to come forward, but also implying that there was indeed no danger here.

As for why Earl Hei is so sure, guessing, and a prophecy?
Angor doesn't care whether the previous prophecy is still working, or the Black Earl has released another prophecy. Since the Black Earl said there is no danger, it doesn't matter to go and have a look.

As soon as Earl Hei spoke, Vay, who had been timid before, had no choice but to change his words. Angor also intended to go over, and more than half of the people agreed.Seeing that the general situation has changed, Doakes and Kael could only nod their heads and agree to the proposal.

The location of the wax corpse was actually not far from them, only about thirty meters away, but because it was close to the wall, and below the wall was a sewage ditch, so even if Angel stacked two layers of purification force fields, he could faintly smell the outside world. the stench.

Although it is possible to stack a third layer of purification force field, this may lead to the collapse of the illusion of light-dark transformation on the outer wall. In the end, Angel found a way in the middle, so that Su Ling could drive all the smell that came in to the end, and then A small space is isolated by the wind barrier.

Because the smell is not very heavy, Suling did not strike.

This made everyone...or let Vay and Earl Hei breathe a long sigh of relief.

There was no smell interference, and Angel increased the depth of the illusion, which allowed everyone to use their mental power directly to investigate the wax corpse.

After a long while, Angor lowered the depth of the illusion again, while maintaining the height, and leaving room for the speed spirit behind, which made Angor a little worried, and the Earl fans who were the main body could not bear it.Therefore, after seeing that everyone observed that it was almost the same, they contracted the illusion.

After shrinking the illusion, Angel was about to ask everyone about their discovery, but before he could ask, Earl Hei spoke first.

"It is basically certain that the wax corpse was ten thousand years ago, and it should have reached the realm of a formal wizard before death. The wax seal was made by someone else after death, perhaps by other Demon God believers. The patterns on his body were there before he was alive. So he is undoubtedly a demon cultist." Earl Hei paused: "Other than that, there is no other discovery."

Angor looked at the others, including Doakes, and basically shook their heads. The information they found either overlapped with Earl Hei, or there was no information at all.

After confirming that no one else had found anything, Angel opened his mouth and added: "I didn't focus on the wax corpse, but was observing the protruding platform. I thought that platform was the original one on the wall. Yes, because the magic pattern on it is smooth with other magic patterns around it."

"But after careful observation, I noticed that the magic pattern on the platform and the blood ink used are slightly different from other magic patterns. The color is not black, but dark gray. This point, if Lord Black used With the sense of smell, you should be able to smell the difference in the taste of blood and ink."

Earl Hei didn't say a word. He didn't use his sense of smell just now, mainly because his sense of smell was too sensitive. Even if Su Ling drove away the infiltrating smell, he could still smell it clearly as long as he clocked in his sense of smell.

"Through the difference in blood and ink, I can confirm that this platform is not original. It was built by a latecomer, and the other party still understands the magic pattern."

Doakes looked suspicious: "Who would be bored enough to build a platform for dead bodies?"

Angel: "I didn't say that the purpose of building the platform is to put corpses. However, your guess is probably correct."

"As for why a high-altitude platform was built, it may be because the identity of the corpse is familiar to the other party. I can't bear to see him exposed to the ground, corroded by filth, and eaten by monsters."

Doakes: "If you want to build a platform, why don't you leave with the corpse?"

Angel shrugged: "I don't know about this. Perhaps, the existence of the construction platform may not have left the underground labyrinth."

Doakes keenly noticed that Angel did not mention the builder as a "person" this time, but the "existence" of the construction platform, and directly said that the other party may not have left.

This is almost not an allusion, but an explicit indication that the person who built the platform is most likely an old monster who has lived for thousands of years who knows alchemy, can swim around in underground labyrinths, and often comes to the Ladder of Hell. ?

Doakes: "So, the one who built the platform knows the Demon God Cultists?"

Angel: "You don't necessarily know the Demon God Cultist, but you know this person. For example, you know Angel the Alchemist, but you don't know Angel the Illusionist."

A person is multifaceted, but what he shows outside is often only one side.But there are some people who are different. They are more inclined to play different identities in different aspects.The wax corpse may be the latter, and his identity may be a jailer on the Hanging Ladder, or other famous people in Naluo City, but at the same time, he is also a disciple of the Mirror Demon God.

Of course, we can't be sure, maybe he is also a spy planted by other organizations in the sect of the Mirror Demon God.

So, don't just look at one side.

That existence may know the Demon God Cultist, or may not know the identity of the Wax Corpse Demon God Cultist.

The specific answer can only be known from that existence.However, what Angel hopes more is that they had better not encounter that existence.

Angel: "If there is no other discovery, let's leave here first. Or, if you are interested in wax corpses, you can also take them away together. The wax seal also seals most of the energy. It’s not serious, and it should be worth the money.”

Angel's remarks were mainly addressed to Doakes.Wai and Kael, they obviously disliked the wax corpse, they knew without asking, they couldn't take a corpse with them.

However, Doakes also rejected this very tempting proposal.If Angel didn't imply that the wax corpse might be related to that existence, Doakes might really take the wax corpse away.

But it is possible that they will face that being in the near future, and in this case, he would not bother himself.

Since Doakes also refused, Angel did not hesitate, and signaled everyone to move on.

All the Demon God Cultists showed up here, and Angel had always guessed that the target of the Demon God Cultist's attack was the Ladder of Hell, so he firmly believed that he had not gone wrong, and the Ladder of Hell should not be far away.

With enthusiasm, everyone quickly left the platform and disappeared into the darkness.

However, Angel did not notice that not long after everyone left, a green glow suddenly flashed on the wax corpse on the platform.

And the place where the green awn is emitted is the pattern on the skin of the wax corpse that is suspected to be the pattern of the Demon God of the Mirror.

……

At the same time, in a hidden dark space in this underground labyrinth.

A joking voice sounded: "Aidanis, who only likes to sleep, why don't you come and have a look, what did I find?"

After a while of silence, a slightly lazy female voice sounded: "Noah's descendants are nothing more than that, and their blood is so weak that they probably don't even have the qualifications to step in here. I don't know what you're excited about?"

For so many years, there have been many Noahs who have come to explore the underground labyrinth, but in the end no one came here.Therefore, Aidanis has no expectations for these descendants of Noah with thin blood.

"Compared to the descendants of Noah, I want to see the return of Naraku now."

"Nai Luo is back, Na Luo is back, they are all saying this. But can he really come back?" The joking voice in front suddenly became low.

"Who knows, but those who are obsessed are always talking about it, so it is really possible." The lazy female voice paused: "Okay, I will continue to practice, before Naraku returns, stop making noise. "

"Are you practicing? You are just sleeping!"

"I met a spirit once, and she told me that I can practice in my dreams. Anyway, I have time, and I am practicing now."

"The spirit is deceiving you."

"It doesn't matter, even if it's a lie, I still like the feeling of practicing."

"To put it bluntly, you just love to sleep... After you sleep, I will be lonely, and there will be no one to talk to me."

"Shut up, I'll smash you if you talk again, and I don't want to talk with my mouth open!"

After finishing speaking, after a burst of aggrieved murmurs, silence was restored in the dark space again.

A long and long silence.
