Travels of the Necromancer

Behind the door is a wide hall, the entire floor and walls are made of a kind of gray rock called silent rock.Moyan can isolate magic elements very well, so magicians often use them to build laboratories.Both sides of the hall are filled with glass containers as tall as a person. Inside the containers are green medicines, and various human organs are floating in the medicines.

Bones, eyeballs, viscera, and severed limbs were not separated, but jumbled together in the same bottle, which made me frown.

Except for the ghost system, most undead creatures do most often to maintain their bodies when they are fighting and dormant.Skeletons will remove broken bones and replace them with whole ones, and walking corpses will clean up their internal organs and dig out carrion.They can usually do this on their own, though I prefer to maintain my own undead army myself.

The replacement organs are different, and the effects are also very different.Ordinary human organs can maintain normal combat effectiveness, while organs of other races or monsters can enhance the combat effectiveness of undead creatures.For example, the eyes of the salamander can provide the skill "Death Flame", and the heart of the glacier elf can increase the ice magic defense by 20%.So, others should understand that when I saw these two precious materials thrown into the same bottle, I could hardly resist smashing the bottle.

Fortunately, Lai held me back, but his face was not very good.Although he said before entering the castle that he had prepared for the worst, the scene in front of him obviously exceeded his expectations.When he saw the scene in the second half of the hall clearly, it was his turn to lose his mind.

More than a dozen corpses were pierced by more than a dozen huge bone spurs that grew directly from the floor, hanging in mid-air.These corpses are incomplete, some have been cut open from the neck to the abdomen, and the internal organs have been hollowed out; the muscles and skin on some hands and feet have been stripped, leaving only bare bones; some have bloody faces and facial features. Poach away.They were pierced by bone spurs, and the wounds on the fixed parts turned outwards ferociously, obviously the marks left by the struggle, that is to say, when they went through this process, they should be alive.

Such a situation made Ley rush towards the bone spur just like me who rushed towards the glass bottle just now, but this time it was Lan who stopped him.Lan, who was always calm, seemed to be unable to remain indifferent this time, and looked away after glancing at the corpse.

And I've been studying these corpses.I can understand the removal of internal organs and limbs, but why should the five sense organs be removed, and must be taken from living organs?Speaking of which, these bone spurs also look familiar.Suddenly, I thought of Dial's face, his impeccable facial features, and the sense of incongruity that cannot be ignored... It seems that now I have found the source of that sense of incongruity.

"Noah and Nick are not here." After careful identification, I came to this conclusion.So we set our sights on the little door at the end of the hall.The curse on this door is two more heavy than the one on the gate. Even for me, it will take half a day to completely lift it.Fortunately, according to the report of the little wandering soul, the mercenaries currently fighting are not inferior to the Ford team. Dial is watching the battle with great interest and has no intention of coming back for the time being.

The scene behind the door is similar to that in the hall.It's just that the glass bottle is much smaller, placed on two rows of shelves against the wall, gray mist is swimming in the glass bottle, it seems that this room is filled with souls.The back of the room is also lined with bone spurs, with scarred bodies hanging from them, and this time, we find Noah and Nick.

"Nick!" Ley called Nick's name, but Nick lowered his head and didn't respond.Ley hesitated, probing Nick's breath with his fingers, and then his expression relaxed.Then, Ley went to check the situation of the other mercenaries.

Before I came here, I had made up my mind. If Noah had already turned into a necromantic creature, I would definitely take control of him. "Eternal peace" is nothing compared to such an excellent collection.However, the Noah I saw at this time, his chest was still rising and falling slightly.

With a wooden head and a serious personality, Mr. Knight, who is troublesome and easy to deceive, but also very reliable, is still alive.

However, I didn't regret it, on the contrary, I felt a sense of relief.Perhaps, it's because I already have such an excellent death knight as Naus, and I don't need a second one.

Both Noah and Nick can be said to be covered in bruises, but fortunately, they don't look like they are missing any parts.However, their coma at the moment is not due to the wounds on their bodies, but some kind of spiritual magic. It seems that Dial is more careful than I imagined.Noah and the others can't participate in the battle, and I don't want more people to know my identity as a necromancer, so I'm not going to wake them up.

At this moment, I saw Lai pulling out his sword and trying to cut off the bone spur, so I stopped him immediately: "You can't move now!"

"These bone spurs are part of Dial's body, and you can feel it immediately when you touch him." Seeing Ley's puzzled expression, I added, "He is no longer a human, he is a lich."

At the beginning, I didn't discover the identity of Dial Lich, because Liches usually use phantom spells to pretend to be humans. I am familiar with this kind of magic, but I didn't feel this kind of magic from Dial. fluctuation.Now I know that his disguise was made of real flesh and blood.

"Then what should we do? Their physical condition has been unable to support for a long time."

"Your purpose is to save your companion, and you beat Dial by the way; my purpose is the book, and you beat Diar by the way." I looked at Ley with a smile, "So, you are responsible for sending them back , leave it to me to beat up Dial."

"Are you sure?" Lai didn't seem to agree with my assignment.

I looked at Naus. After entering the castle, he sent the nightmare back to the swamp, and then replaced the knight gun with a sword that is more suitable for indoor combat. He followed me silently all the way, and did not make any sound except the clash of armor. any sound.I turned my gaze to Lan again, his height just reached Naus's chest.

"I've got a great idea, and it's pretty bold..."

I began to chant the mantra.This time, I used real curse magic, and since Dial likes curses so much, I gave him a more interesting one.

The darkness slowly gathers and condenses as I sing, and spreads out from under my feet, winding and twisting like a stream, and then branching out into countless small tributaries.These tributaries are like small black snakes, wriggling to the bottom of each bone spur, and climbing upwards from the bottom until they are covered with bone spurs.But such a scene, except for me as the curser, no one else can see it.

After the curse was completed, I walked outside the small door. Naus still followed me silently, but his steps were a little heavy.Space magic cannot be used in the domain, but it can be used in this castle.I handed the last teleportation scroll to Lai. As a grade A mercenary, he has used teleportation scrolls before, so his task is to pile up the mercenaries in the shortest possible time after I destroy the bone spur , and then use the scroll to teleport back to the Mercenary Guild.

"Are you ready?" I asked after setting up the magic at the door.

Ley frowned and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Then let's start!" I raised the wand of resentment in my hand and launched a curse.

Immediately, the nine skeletons on the wand screamed together, and the black snakes entwined on the bone spurs immediately turned into black liquid, corroding the bone spurs completely, but the "erosion" power of the curse magic was more than that.

Almost at the same time, the small door in front of me slammed shut, and if I wanted to open it again, I had to break my spell.Then, I turned around.

In the center of the hall full of glass containers, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared. The black mist quickly became thicker and denser, and a pale hand stretched out from the black mist.

"Welcome back." I smiled at the black mist, "My fellow."
