Seeing the Soul Catcher suddenly turn into ashes, the usually taciturn Gauguin couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
The Coffin Knight could see that the golden flame that killed the Soul Catcher actually came from that suspicious eyeball, so it could also be said that the Soul Catcher died in the hands of Moriarty to a certain extent.
"Do you know what's west-northwest?"
Ignoring Gauguin's call, Moriarty thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Not sure."
The Coffin Knight was not a regular visitor to the Black Ember Forest, so he could only shake his head.
"Then let's go."
After another glance at Gauguin, Moriarty took the lead.
The Coffin Knight stared at the opponent's back, waited a moment, and then strode to catch up.
Walking out of the Lantes Valley, skeleton warriors are waiting in the distance.
However, when he saw that only Moriarty and Gauguin came out, but there was no soul catcher, the skeleton warrior couldn't help but feel the soul fire in his eyes.
"grown ups…"
It wasn't until Moriarty approached that the skeleton warrior slowly approached him, but he was cautious and hesitant to speak.
"The soul catcher suffered a backlash while searching for the target's aura, and has completely perished."
There was no intention of hiding it, Moriarty said bluntly.
When he heard this, the skeleton warrior was stunned for a moment, and then quickly looked at the coffin knight, only to see that everything was the same. However, after gritting his teeth, the skeleton warrior calmed down again.
Anyway, the strength of the employer on the opposite side is mysterious, and if he enlists the help of Gauguin, what he really has to do is that the mid-level skeleton warrior will have to wait for death, so it’s not worth thinking too much about it.
"Starting from the Lantes Valley, heading west-northwest, is there anything or a special landmark?" Moriarty looked at the skeleton warrior and asked slowly.
"West-northwest?" Hearing this question suddenly, the skeleton warrior was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied while thinking: "The west-northwest end of the Black Ember Forest should be connected to a huge desert."
"Desert?" Moriarty frowned.
"Yes, a dry sea hundreds of miles away. There is nothing in it, only black sand all over the sky and tornadoes that break out from time to time. I heard that even the powerful ones are not willing to come into direct contact with the terrible black sand storms.
.”
"What about outside in the desert?" Moriarty continued to ask.
"The distance outside is the endless ocean. However, the world of the ocean is completely different from the land. I don't know what it is like there."
Dejia is a typical continental country with no outlet to the sea, so the undead naturally know very little about everything on the sea.
But after listening to the skeleton warrior's answer, his brows furrowed even tighter.
"No, the Queen of Lies can't go deep into the desolate desert, let alone go out to sea inexplicably. That doesn't make any sense..."
After thinking silently for a moment, Moriarty looked at the skeleton warrior again: "What is there within the scope of the Black Forest, to the west-northwest?"
"Within the Forest of Black Embers?" The skeleton warrior lowered his head slightly, pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "In the west-northwest, about three hundred kilometers away from the Lantes Valley, there is a hidden ancient ruins.
.”
"Hidden ancient ruins?" Upon hearing this, Moriarty's eyes immediately lit up: "What ruins?"
"It is the ruins of an ancient elven empire, tens of thousands of years old. It looks like the ruins of a city. There is also a temple in the center." Seeing Moriarty's interest, the skeleton warrior immediately explained in detail: "Let's talk.
This ancient ruins is also the only place in Dejia that is not affected by the power of death."
"Immune to the power of death?"
Upon hearing this, Moriarty was immediately stunned.
How is it possible!? There is actually an area in the Kingdom of the Undead that is immune to the power of death. This sounds like a fantasy. And if it is true, once it is known to some "interested people", they might be able to take advantage of it.
This wonderful pivot did something for Dejia.
"It's absolutely true." Seeing that Moriarty didn't seem to believe it, the skeleton warrior immediately added: "Once, the Holy Spirit Temple also thought about destroying this ruins and the ancient temple in the middle, but for some reason it never succeeded.
I heard that there were many powerful people who got involved before and after, and even the Extreme Dao fell. Therefore, the Holy Spirit Temple later gave up its efforts and let it go. It just warned all those who knew about it to keep secrets about ancient ruins, let alone
Revealing things about the ruins expelling the power of death. I only learned about these details when I heard a senior talk about it occasionally."
"So, what else is in the ruins?"
Unexpectedly, I accidentally learned such a secret, which can be regarded as "lucky". Moriarty continued to ask with a calm expression.
"I didn't actually go in and take a look. I only heard that it was actually a large abandoned house with nothing else left. It might have been emptied out by the ancestors." The skeleton warrior shrugged regretfully.
"Well. Then lead the way, let's go to the ancient ruins."
Intuitively, Moriarty was almost certain that the Queen of Lies was in that special ruins.
Moreover, after seeing the special image left in the eyes of the chaotic zombie lord, he also had a vague desire to find out what the golden flame armor was.
"yes."
After obediently agreeing, the skeleton warrior guided his employer and began to move to the next location.
The ancient ruins are about 300 kilometers away from the Lantes Valley, which is close to the distance from the "End of the Forest" to the valley. But the problem is, from Lantes to the ancient ruins, there is a medium-sized saltwater lake in the middle, which is said to be thousands of years old.
It was formed by the impact of a previous extraterrestrial meteorite.
Therefore, if you cannot fly directly across the lake, you can only choose to go around the lake shore to avoid the water body and some water networks along the way before continuing. Of course, if someone wants to take a shortcut and cross the saltwater lake by boat, what is waiting for them is
There are endless wraiths tearing under the surface of the lake and terrifying whirlpools that will emerge from nowhere.
However, just when Moriarty arrived at the saltwater lake and was still briefly admiring the misty water scenery on the lake, he suddenly sensed an extremely violent magic wave rising inexplicably in the far northwest, and then roared like a storm and swept in all directions.
Drive away.
In an instant, a hurricane mixed with the aura of death and destruction blew in front of the three people.
At this time, Gauguin and the Skeleton Warriors reacted, and their expressions changed drastically. Even the weaker Skeleton Warriors had to duck down to avoid it because they could not withstand the blow of the magic storm.
"grown ups!?"
Although the Coffin Knight could still stand still, he was still inexplicably horrified. For an energy explosion of this magnitude, with an obvious taste of self-destruction, there seemed to be only one answer.
"Another great necromancer has fallen."
Moriarty raised his head and looked to the northwest, with the same look on his face, but black flames were jumping in his eyes.
Sure enough, Senia Oren was there, and she once again killed a Dejia Ji Dao, which was really extremely arrogant.
"kindness!?"
But just when Moriarty was thinking about whether to put down Gauguin and the Skeleton Warriors first, and rush to catch up with the Queen of Lies alone, suddenly, a faint throbbing slipped through his heart. At the same time, there were several hidden auras in his mental induction.
They appeared inexplicably at different locations near the lagoon, then disappeared immediately.
Unable to help, Moriarty became vigilant.
The next moment, it seemed that the other party's perception could no longer be shielded. A special light wave flashed past, and then on the salt water lake, a mist dissipated, revealing two floating figures standing side by side.
That turned out to be: a fourteenth-level undead holy priest and a fourteenth-level vampire marquis!
"Temple of the Holy Spirit!"
In an instant, Moriarty realized: It turned out that like Senia Oren, he had also become the target of being hunted and strangled.
A Holy Priest and a Vampire Marquis. It was obvious that the Holy Spirit Temple had already planned to take advantage of this opportunity to surround the Queen of Lies to kill the rabbit and remove himself as a thorn in the side. Moreover, under the surface like this
In the secret fight, even if he was really attacked and killed, and the alliance suffered a huge loss, there was no way to openly recover it through official channels. In addition to the same idea and trying to regain face in other ways, it could only be helpless for a while.
The fact that the Holy Spirit Temple can so accurately ambush itself by the salt water lake shows that there must be hidden stakes from the Holy Spirit Temple within the alliance, and the level is not low. Otherwise, it was temporarily "caught" by the Lord of Amon, and the Holy Spirit Temple
It was impossible for the authorities to get the news so quickly and take advantage of the situation to mobilize forces to lay out a siege.
What's more, maybe, just when he entered the Forest of Black Embers, the other party would have already followed him and followed him all the way.
However, "just" a level 14 undead priest and a level 14 blood marquis are enough to guarantee a successful kill? You know, in the "death match" in the grand arena, the undead holy warrior and the ghost dragon
The messenger was directly killed twice. So why does the Holy Spirit Temple think that the same two fourteenth-level Yakuza can complete the assassination mission without fail?
wrong!
As soon as he thought of this, a feeling of horror arose in Moriarty's heart.
And almost at the same moment, another petite figure suddenly appeared from among the ghost trees in the distance, shouting at the same time: "Be careful!"
It was actually Blood Count Claudia, a demon pet who had been wandering around for many months in search of its "master".
However, before Claudia's shout ended, a blur of light and shadow suddenly appeared beside Moriarty. It was silent and elusive, implying a sharp killing intent that could kill everything. But its source was
The skeleton warrior bent down on the ground.
"Ghost Assassin!"
In an instant, Moriarty felt a sharp stab that penetrated his soul and stabbed him. However, he was too close to dodge.
"Bah!"
For a moment, the blurred light and shadow seemed to condense, turning into a reluctant humanoid appearance.
At the same time, an illusory arm protruded from his body, but the tip was in the shape of a sharp blade, with the terrifying characteristic of ignoring defense. It instantly pierced Moriarty's robe and went straight into the target's soul. (To be continued, please search.
