Chapter 808
Moonlight thorns can only last for one day, and once it exceeds the time limit without eating, it will backlash the object of protection. The lizards and wild birds in the crevices in the belly of the mountain are obviously not enough to feed the moonlight thorns. Due to time constraints, Yiluth Yuege personally led the team to hunt in the forest below the cliff.
In about half a day, the elven fighters captured two wild boars and five takins. So many prey is more than enough to feed Moonlight Thorns, and the rest can improve the food of Silvermoon Scout.
Iluth placed the biggest and most ferocious wild boar beside the moonlight thorns. When the thorny vine pierced the wild boar's flesh, it quickly stopped struggling and became limp. The vines of the moonlight thorns gradually appeared red, twisting and tightening the wild boar more vigorously, and grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The more luxuriant the moonlight thorns grow, the more effective it will heal injuries and protect the soul. The moonlight thorns swayed the vines, continuously sprouting out new shoots, and the silver eagle scouts all looked happy, and the four dwarves even danced happily, as if their Coelho brother had been saved. Even General Yuege smiled sweetly at this time, and his relaxed expression was in stark contrast to the previous dullness.
Actually, Keelho’s body and soul were not injured. The biggest role of Moonlight Vine is to stabilize his soul and protect it from the assimilation of the realm of spirits. As for whether his soul, as judged by Mr. Nightingale, was pulled out of the realm of all spirits by the moonlight vines, and then returned to his body is still unknown.
Iruth is looking forward to a good result. But as a powerhouse of the golden rank, although she is not as indifferent as Golden Knight, her concept, way of thinking about problems, and even personal emotions are completely different from those of ordinary fighters. In her eyes, the way to save the dwarf guard is more important than Keelho's life.
If this method is effective to show that Nightingale’s judgment is correct, Coelho will be rescued and everyone is happy; if the method is invalid, Coelho is dead or turned into something else, Elus must reconsider the following Action plan, so as not to let the whole team suffer the same bad luck.
Victor also hopes that Koelho can come alive, whether it is his own recovery of will or the ghosts in the realm of all souls occupying his body, as long as he or it can communicate with people, it is better than being covered by moonlight vines. Eat well.
Just when Elus was out hunting, Victor had already learned some of the situation in the realm of spirits from Aeglo Greybeard’s mouth, but unfortunately the dwarf prophet only stayed inside for a short time before being caught After being expelled, what I saw was very limited. The Azorta ghosts in the realm of spirits must have more secrets, but they may be hostile to the Silver Eagle scouts, and what they say will inevitably be full of lies and deceit, and Keelho's soul is undoubtedly more honest and credible.
It's rare for a dwarf in the team to fall into the realm of all spirits. Victor felt sorry for him when he came so won but never returned.
Moonlight thorns will drag the dwarf's soul back from the realm of spirits is just a hypothesis proposed by Victor, time can prove whether his hypothesis is true. But what he lacks now is time.
Coelho fell into the realm of all souls this time probably because he had coveted the amber orb of the withered Witch Doctor, and on the other hand, it was caused by a problem with the main tomb of the withered witch. The realm of all souls and the real world have met once.
Victor can feel the dragon maid Laila and Dili near the tomb of the Lord of the Blight Witch, and they have just experienced a moderate-intensity battle.
Red Dragon maid Laila and Green Dragon maid Dili belong to the team of Imerson wizard, responsible for exploring the underground space of the temple. They suddenly moved to the main tomb of the Wither Witch King, and they didn't know what happened there, which actually triggered the mutation in the realm of spirits.
The Four Seasons Witch King is the key to unlock the realm of all souls, but the key is not the point. How to open the realm of all souls and what will happen after opening is the key to the problem.
Imerson’s team has been dealing with the Lord of Grief. Victor has reason to suspect that the Lord of Grief is playing tricks. While he inquires the dragon maid Laila for vague information through the spiritual connection, he has to explore the other three as soon as possible. The tomb of the Witch King.
Whether there is any key information in the tomb of the Witch King is still unknown, but it is suspected that the Lord of Grief played by the Desperate Witch King has already begun to act. Victor must move to the vicinity of the temple before his conspiracy succeeds, and stop in time. He, or wait for an opportunity to move.
"Let's leave here now and go to the tomb of the Four Seasons Witch King to see if there are any new clues." Victor looked away from the moonlight thorns, looked around the crowd and said.
The dragon hunter Udrit looked up in amazement, and asked: "Master Nightingale, what about Nacoelho?"
"He is protected by the moonlight thorns and can stay here. "
When the dwarf heard that he was going to leave the undecided brother alone, he blew his beard and exclaimed: "No, no, how can this work? Poor Coelho will be eaten by moonlight thorns." ......"
"Be quiet, Lord Nightingale must have his reasons." Olavie Moonsong drank his noisy dwarf companion, and looked at Mr. Nightingale with reverent eyes. The other wizard warriors were also there. Pay attention to the nightingale.
The dwarves and elves of the silver eagle scout squad are thus divided into two factions. The dwarves want to protect their companions, while the elves instinctively trust the high-level elves Rogue.
It’s really hard for the elves to resist the bloodline charm of the Moon God’s son. According to Ruth secretly sighed, she said: "My lord, you..."
Victor waved his hand indifferently He said: "If you need a reason, just think about it. I have no evidence and no time to find a reason to leave. If you are unwilling to act with me, you will be useless to me. We are separated here, and I will find it myself. The main tomb of the Four Seasons Witch King."
After finishing speaking, he arranged equipment and supplies, each minding their own business, leaving the cliff platform, turning back into the tunnel in the belly of the mountain, leaving behind a group of looked at each other in The dwarves and elf fighters of the blank dismay.
Angelis Fengge anxiously said to Elus: "Sister, we can’t let adults take risks alone! Don’t forget, the purpose of our trip is to find and join Elanta and get Sun Tree. A chance for blessing. Lord Nightingale is our chance. He is more important than the legendary sacred relic of the empire."
Mr. Nightingale may not be as important as "Freya's Tears", but a living quasi-moon The Son of God is definitely more in line with the real interests of the Silver Eagle Scout than the legend of illusory. .
From another point of view, any city-state in the Spirit Emperor Kingdom, including the emperor Elanta, will help the son of the seventh rank to repair the bloodline defect and is willing to sacrifice for it. But what is embarrassing is that Rogue Nightingale is superb. He stated that he does not need the assistance of the Silver Eagle scouts and is not nothing serious.
Aiglo Greybeard was the first to react, and repeatedly nodded said: "We don’t know why Keelho has a problem, and we don’t know whether the moonlight thorns will rescue him. We will stay. In fact, it can’t help him. Others may become like him. When we all become ghosts, who will save us? Well, we have to do something. No matter what we do, it’s better than waiting here. It’s better to die."
Udrit immediately turned around and went into the tunnel, yelling as he ran: "Master Nightingale, Master Nightingale, wait for me, we will go with you."
************************************
Assyrian Temple Underground Tunnel Group Somewhere in the space, Swordsman Todd, Blood Python Marcy and Caligula led dozens of Level 3 source blood militias wearing composite leather armor and holding adamantine battle halberd to guard the entrances of the three passages; Charlotte and Imerson Wizard, Father Dane, Bertina and the halfling surrounded the black-glazed rock altar in the center of the space, carefully observing a skull; dragon maids, Laila and Dili, holding giant axe blades, led more than a dozen Only the war beast, which is riddled with scars, is guarded on the periphery of the altar.
The skull on the black-glazed rock altar resembles a human skull, but it has been completely crystallized, as if it was carved from pure crystal, with brilliant lights and vibrant colors on the surface, in the dark It looks extremely dazzling.
Imerson swallowed and asked hesitantly: "Pastor Dane, are we really going to take this thing down?"
Wearing a composite leather armor and carrying a flail Dane is now more like a warrior. The blessing effect of the Level 4 Paladin crystal has just ended. The fine gold flail that had previously acted like an arm is now extremely heavy, making his arms tremble slightly, but his spirit is very full, and his eyes are bright and sharp. He dropped the flail altogether and said solemnly: "Those undead worms must be the minions of the Lord of Sorrow. He has forced us here for this crystal skull. You have found no, since we entered the space where the crystal skull is placed, immortality The worms did not follow. This shows that the undead worms cannot enter this space. We are safe for the time being, but if we move the crystal skull, the situation here is hard to say."
"It is safe for the time being..."
Imerson heard these words, and the whole person suddenly relaxed for a long time, and a deep sense of exhaustion emerged. He found a place to sit cross-legged and used the Breathing Technique to calm his nervousness and fear.
It has been 6 days for their team to enter the underground tunnel of the temple. Basically, they did not encounter strong enemies on the way, but only encountered sporadic undying creatures. These undead life forms are different, but they all have the dual characteristics of Insect and Wisdom. Imerson simply calls them undead insects.
The undead worms are strong and weak. The most common are the ant-men who once invaded the kingdom of Gambis. Apart from this there are also worms who are larger in size and weird in appearance. The battle strength of some individuals in the undead bug people even reached the level of the golden rank. Fortunately, the number of undead worms in the underground tunnels is limited, and they are scattered throughout the underground space. The Randal Expeditionary Force can easily wipe out the undead worms encountered. Not only did it not cause major damage to itself, Imerson also took the opportunity to enslaved more than 30 undead worms. People, but enhanced the overall strength of the team.
Fearing that the alienated war beast would stimulate the black blood undying creatures' desire to prey, Imerson left the razor beast and Philip II and III in the forest outside the mountain range. There is no alienated war beast around him, and his own extraordinary power cannot be used. The undead ant-man joined him to regain his confidence.
According to past experience, alienation witchcraft is not effective on wisdom species, and undying creatures are not restricted by this rule. Imerson inevitably came into contact with the will of the Lord of Grief in the process of infecting the soul and capturing the undead. But he simply ignored the whispers of the Lord of Grief, forcibly controlled the target unit, turned their pale eye sockets into dark red, and then ordered them to walk in front of the team and act as cannon fodder for the expedition.
The undying creatures enslaved by the wizard have decayed, and their bodies have begun to decay. They can only be used for more than 30 days at most, but Imerson is enough to use them as consumables. When the expedition team finishes searching the underground tunnel, they will soon be able to leave this ghost place.
However, this afternoon, the Randal Expeditionary Force underground expedition encountered a swarm of undead worms in the tunnel. The number of them seemed endless. The servants controlled by Imerson were wiped out. The expedition also damaged 11 elite warriors and 6 war dogs. Even the protected Father Dain participated in close combat, which shows how bad the situation was at the time.
The underground expedition team can only fight and retreat, choose the only tunnel without undead bugs to move to the depths of the underground, until entering this space can it be considered as getting rid of the pursuit of undead bugs.
Seeing the black glazed rock altar and the crystal skulls enshrined on the altar in the underground space, Imerson understood that this attack was the method of the Lord of Grief. He just wanted to force the expeditionary expedition in This underground space.
Don't do what Evil God wants you to do... Adhering to this knowledge, Imerson and Dion decided not to touch the most conspicuous crystal skull on the black-glazed rock altar.
Pastor Dane tidyed up his appearance and asked Charlotte, "Madam, what’s your opinion?"
Charlotte is wearing a set of thorium. Ant-man armor, golden hair is not messy, jade green eyes are sober and calm, she can't see that she has just gone through a dangerous battle. In fact, she is the commander of the underground expedition, not only because the two powerful dragon maids are completely obedient to her, but Charlotte's own abilities are also sufficient for this important task.
As the favored girl of His Royal Highness Randal, Charlotte’s beauty and gentleness always make people overlook her identity as a senior Knight, but in the expedition, she showed excellent dominance and calmness Reasonable judgment. Take Pastor Dane as an example. Using Level 4 Paladin crystals in conjunction with the priest's divine technique, he has the melee ability comparable to that of the silver Knight, but after the divine technique disappears, he is as embarrassed as the Imerson wizard. On the contrary, the bronze-level veteran Knight Charlotte has always maintained a calm and graceful manner, and is also calm and calm in the face of fierce undead bugs.
This intense battle has not reached the limit of the senior Knight, and Charlotte is the commander who does his part.
She first clicked on the number of maids holding swords. There were 9 people in total, none of which was less. The personal strength of the sword maid is far inferior to the Level 3 source blood militia, but they are located in the inner circle of the team. If the sword maid is injured, it means that the situation is out of control. The fact that the nine sword-wielding maids in the team were unscathed meant that the fight just now was all under Charlotte's control, and at least everyone obeyed her orders.
Charlotte is very satisfied with this, nodded said: "In the previous battle, we lost some supplies, but the supplies we carried were enough for us to last for 10 days, and the most important water sac was also All are intact. I only hope that the Lord of Grief mistakenly believes that we have reached a dead end... But we did not use all our strength."
The underground expedition killed hundreds of undead in battle. Worm people sacrificed 11 elite warriors and 7 war beasts. Imerson wizard lost all his servants, but the two dragon maids did not transform. Father Dane followed Charlotte's instructions without using the extraordinary power of the sacred relic crystal. The hidden strength of this team is far stronger than what they showed.
Pastor Dane looked at the beautiful and alluring Dame in surprise, and asked, "Madam, do you have any plans?"
"The safety environment here is an illusion." Charlotte nodded, continued: "The longer we stay, the lower the probability of breaking out. Because we can’t find a stable source of water, and on the other hand, the Lord of Grief has more time to reorganize an immortal An army of worms. They don’t need to attack us. They just need to dig down three tunnels to trap us in it."
Charlotte glanced at the wizard and said, "Before, there were Imerson controls the undead worms. I am worried that the Lord of Grief will be able to'see' us through them. Therefore, I let His Excellency Imerson give orders and pretend to be the leader of this team. Now, we must reformulate our plan of action."
Imerson was startled, and immediately felt a fever on his face. In addition to her beauty, Charlotte's sense of existence has always been very low, even her appearance is not so dazzling by His Royal Highness Randal's side, so that Imerson ignores her authority as a golden eye count to vow Knight.
The wizard now knows that Mrs. Charlotte deliberately put herself in the front, and when he started high-spirited and vigorous, he immediately moved forward and retreated in the event of an accident, and was faintly forced into this place by Evil God. The underground space.
Charlotte smiled slightly and said softly: "Your Excellency Imerson doesn't have to blame yourself. In fact, our purpose has been achieved."
"The purpose? Madam means..." Imerson asked confused.
Charlotte cast his gaze on the crystal skull on the altar, and nodded: "The master ordered us to explore the underground tunnel to find valuable clues. Does this crystal skull meet the owner's requirements?"
Imerson turned pale in fright, said quickly: "What? You want to take away the crystal skull? But Pastor Dane said not to touch the things inside, otherwise the immortal insect may come in."
"So what? Even if they don't come in, we have to break out." Charlotte picked up the slender eyebrows, turned her emerald green eyes to Pastor Dane, and said, "Maybe, let's enter here. , Seeing the Assyrian altar, the environmental conditions have changed the limits of the Lord of Grief."
Dane moved in his heart, stood up and asked: "Madam is saying that undying creatures could not enter here originally. , But when we are here, they can come in too?"
"I'm not sure...but I don't think the Lord of Grief will do meaningless things." Charlotte nodded, again Said: "Anyway, we must give this crystal skull to the master. This is the task that His Royal Highness requires us to complete. Next, please restore your energy as soon as possible. We have to rely on your strength to break through. Especially Your Excellency Imerson, can you control more undying creatures?"
Imerson thought for a while, and said embarrassedly: "I don't see undying creatures here, even if there are...they are in groups, I'm not good Control. In addition, I have to give up some alienated creatures in order to control more undying creatures."
Charlotte’s eyes are shining, without the slightest hesitation, "Then please give up everything. The razor beasts, they can’t help much anyway. It’s best to feed Philip II and Philip III with the razor beasts. Those two alienated war beasts may be the two trump cards of your negotiation with Evil God... As for the undying creatures, yours Don’t worry, I will ask Laila and Dili to bring some undead worms back to the depths of the tunnel for you to enslave. We firmly guard the three tunnel openings, the undead worms are not so easy to invade, wait for Your Excellency Imerson If the number of servants of Philip reaches the expectation, we can consider breaking through."
Imerson asked inexplicably: "Madam, do you say that Philip II and III are my two cards for negotiating with the Lord of Grief? What does this mean?"
"Not the Lord of Grief, but Black Blood Sovereign." Charlotte shook the head, replied: "When we passed through the forest of despair, those ooze monsters still had Black blood brittle star Eagles have a keen interest in alienated creatures. The owner once guessed that the black blood Sovereign needs the bloodline rule contained in the alienated creature to construct a perfect body. "
"Oh, then I will be fine. "
"Well, you have to be prepared to communicate with the will of the Lord of Grief... Pastor Dane, please bless Lord Imerson with the divine technique to protect his soul from the temptation of whispers Pollution. I guess that the Lord of Grief asks for us, and we don’t need to rely on Him. Therefore, He may weaken our power and use undying creatures to destroy some family soldiers, but He will never easily kill Lord Imerson...Imerson , You have to master the rhythm of the dialogue and try to protect more people with words. "
Seeing Mrs. Charlotte's methodical arrangement of tactics, Dane couldn't help feeling secretly. He just wanted to understand something. Due to the fixed path in the underground tunnel, the expeditionary army squad actually fell when entering the underground tunnel. Under the control of the Lord of Grief. This unknown Evil God has too many options to deal with the human expedition, but he does not have to rush to start. While the Lord of Grief observes the human expedition, Charlotte Randal is also quietly watching the human expedition. Consider the countermeasures.
The underground tunnel is dimly lit and the environment is tortuous and complex. It is a completely unfamiliar maze for the expeditionary army squad. It is too difficult to find valuable clues in it. To be precise, this Almost impossible, because the Lord of Grief is watching in secret, his undead people can cut off the path and isolate the human expedition from the clues. Unless, he takes the initiative to introduce the human expedition into the key area with clues, as it is now. Situation.
In fact, the expeditionary army’s underground expedition has no choice from the moment it enters the pit, but Charlotte also knows that the Lord of Grief will take the initiative to surrender clues, otherwise he should take the pit The entrance to the cave is blocked, and there is no need to let the human expedition in.
His Royal Highness Randal's request for the underground expedition to obtain clues can only be clues provided by the Lord of Grief. Therefore, his oath Dame must take away Assyria Human crystal skull.
The next question is how to get out of the expedition after taking away the crystal skull?
Charlotte considered two factors. On the one hand, the Lord of Grief Human expeditions, especially Imerson wizard, will not be easily let go; secondly, the expedition’s supply stock determines the tipping point between exploration and evacuation.
Charlotte counts food, especially The amount of drinking water. When the amount of drinking water is only enough for the expedition to leave the tunnel and return to the ground, she must lead everyone out of the tunnel. However, the Lord of Grief will prevent the expedition from leaving, at least to leave the Imerson wizard. In order to achieve this goal, He Can kill other humans, leaving only Imerson alone.
However, the Lord of Grief faces a problem. The immortal people controlled by Imerson wizard are good at digging holes and have a great demand for food and water. Low. Imerson can order his undead servants to dig a passage and then leave the temple’s underground pit.
So Charlotte, according to the consumption of drinking water, instructs Imerson to gradually control more There are many undead worms. When the wizard’s undead servants reach a certain number, they can easily dig out the passage, and the Lord of Grief can no longer sit still. He took action to eliminate the undead servants in Imerson's hands and force the human expedition Go to his predetermined location and use human hands to solve the problems that he wants to solve but cannot solve.
However, he didn’t expect the human expedition to Under Charlotte's clever command, most of his strength was hidden.
This is the key to Charlotte's reversal!
Originally, the human expedition’s drinking water reserves were not enough to support the search of the entire underground tunnel. If the water reserves were only enough for the expedition to stay in the underground tunnel for 20 days, it would take 10 days to explore. Use the remaining 10 days to return to the ground. The expedition's finding of valuable clues within ten days was entirely luck. Now, the Lord of Grief is taking the initiative to introduce the human expedition to the clues. Charlotte intends to evacuate when he gets the crystal skull. The undying creatures of the Lord of Grief will definitely stop it. The underground expedition team will use all their strength. If they can, they will be killed. If they can't, they will dig a tunnel out.
Imerson is unlikely to be enslaved to burrowing undead bugs, but the four dragon lizards of the expedition war beast are also good at digging rocks, which is why Charlotte was in the previous battle. The reason why I have never invested in the dragon lizard war beast. Because of the dragon lizard war beast, the expedition team broke through to a suitable location and was able to dig a hole leading to the ground.
Dane knew that Charlotte was once the famous Viscountess of Beria, who belonged to the role of the vase in the noble lady. As Randal's favorite girl, she is also known for her beauty and gentleness, but the strategy she showed made Dane admire him and even sighed.
Leave aside the power and wisdom of this beloved beauty, she is a trifling bronze-step Knight who dares to intrigue with Evil God without fear?
Knight has nothing to do with gender. Their strength, wisdom and courage always complement each other. This is the beauty of balance.
The underground expedition team made various preparations in accordance with Charlotte's requirements. The Level 3 source blood militia took turns to eat and visualize, so that their mental and physical stamina could be restored to Peak state; the sword-wielding maid was for everyone The silver light potion was reapplied to the weapons of the team, and the craftsmen in the team used existing materials, including biological materials taken from the undead people to make practical tools; the dragon maid, Di Li, dived into the depths of the tunnel alone to investigate and took some undead insects. The man was captured and enslaved by Imerson wizard.
Half a day later, there are 21 undead worms under Imerson. They are all battle-type Black-Blood Ant humans. The individual strength is very average, but they have the innocuous characteristics of undead creatures, so they appear very Difficult. Imerson used wisdom to guide the witchcraft to control the black-blooded immortal ant-man to explore deeper into the tunnel, and he couldn't find any burrowing-type black-blooded immortal.
The Lord of Grief really wants to trap them underground.
When the number of undead ant-men controlled by the wizard reaches 62, Charlotte puts on a helmet, pulls on her undergarment to cover her delicate face, walks to the black glaze stone platform, stretches out her hand, and lifts the crystal skull. Put it in your purse, pull out the silver light flowing fine gold long sword, and the sonorous voice played by Sword Cry shouted: "Randal expeditionary forces gather! Let's get back to the surface!"
