Going from the sixth level to the seventh level requires not only an S-level spirit, but also the understanding and accumulation of energy. Currently, there is only one seventh-level powerhouse in the entire Duota Continent, Malfurion. With Akasha's qualifications,
I'm afraid I can only stay at level six for the rest of my life.
But Akasha didn't mind this. She was very satisfied with her current strength. She was used to standing behind her master. She used to be Alsace's servant, but now she followed Alsace's last wish and became Alsace's servant.
Gu Nansheng's servant, although she knew that Gu Nansheng had never treated her as a servant.
In fact, getting along with Gu Nansheng is much easier than getting along with Alsace. Akasha has followed Alsace for so many years, and what she has seen the most is that Alsace is wearing black undead armor, with long white hair hanging around his shoulders.
The back with snowflakes on her hair.
Such a lonely figure made her feel unattainable.
She always wanted to melt his cold heart, but she could never get close to his heart.
Gu Nansheng felt the subtle changes in Akasha's heart. He wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how to say it.
Akasha smiled calmly, "It's nothing, it's all a matter of the past. You have to be well prepared this time. The Lich King's treasure is not that easy to get."
She naturally changed the subject. For Alsace, she now only felt regret.
"Huh? Is there a guardian beast?"
Akasha shook her head, "It's very complicated. At first, Draenor, the Lich King's hometown, was shattered because it could not withstand the huge energy flow of the Dark Portal. The remaining broken world was the Outland, and the Lich King took Germany at that time.
After the world of Llano was shattered, it was sealed and fixed with powerful magic. This is where the Lich King's treasure is."
Gu Nansheng's heart twitched. How much energy does it take to seal the fragments of a world and build it into his own treasure? No wonder some people say that the Lich King is more powerful than Deathwing and ranks in the fourth level of the universe. It really makes
People are shocked.
"The sealed world fragment has a large space, and there are many demons from the outside world in it. They are also unlucky, and they were sealed in by the Lich King. The space in the world fragment sealed by the Lich King is complicated and twisted, and there is a slight distortion.
If you are not careful, you may get lost in the maze of space and cannot find the exit."
Gu Nansheng frowned slightly. He was not afraid of demons, but if he was lost in space, he would really have no power to use. He did not have the strength to tear apart space yet. Falling into a space crack would be like a martial arts master who cannot swim falling into water.
inside.
"If you get caught in the space turbulence, can you use flash to get out?"
Akasha said sternly: "In that case, using flicker is equivalent to committing suicide. Flicker itself is a kind of space magic. It can only be used in a stable space. In that broken world, once any space-related magic and magic are used,
The props immediately changed back, causing the space to collapse and fall directly into the turbulence of space."
"Not even space props?"
"Yes, so you can't use your life gem in that space, not even in the inventory!"
Gu Nansheng pressed the air conditioner. If he didn't know, he would have died unjustly.
"Do you know the layout of the inner room?" Gu Nansheng asked casually, without any hope.
Akasha said frankly: "I have never been in."
"What level are those demons?"
"I don't know either."
"Where is the treasure?"
"The entrance to the space is in the Hall of the Dead floating above the Northrend continent. As for the specific location of the treasure inside, I don't know." Akasha paused and added: "If you are not sure, you can wait for a while.
"
Gu Nansheng pondered for a while and said: "It's not like I haven't taken risks before, so I can't wait any longer. The discovery of the Lich King's treasure this time is very important to me, because I'm worried that my main mission may change this time."
Gu Nansheng paused for a moment before speaking about the content of his main mission this time and his concerns about the change of the main mission...
Akasha came from the final test just like Gu Nansheng, and there was no need to worry about being wiped out when mentioning the system. Gu Nansheng asked Akasha under what circumstances the system would change the main mission. Akasha was more experienced in this aspect.
Akasha was silent for a while, her face became a little solemn, "Your worries are not unreasonable. If the main task of the trial is to hone the meaning of strength, the system will change the main task. You will be able to do it after defeating Kel'Thuzad."
Didn’t you get a prompt from the system?”
Gu Nansheng shook his head, "As far as I know, after the Dark Portal is opened, it needs the support of the Book of Medivh to stabilize. And Kel'Thuzad currently only has some fragments of the Book of Medivh, which may not be enough to maintain the Dark Portal.
Operation."
"In the last battle between the Scourge and the Guards, Kel'Thuzad went to the battlefield in person instead of staying in the Witch Doctor's Tower to maintain the stability of the Dark Portal. I suspect that the Dark Portal has lost its meaning to him and may have been closed.
However, I did not receive any system prompts for this."
Akasha rubbed her forehead and said, "Things are indeed troublesome. Don't worry, the system will not assign you tasks that are beyond your capabilities. You are far behind Deathwing now, and the system will not let you die."
"Well." Akasha said this and Gu Nansheng felt a little relieved. "Since this trip is dangerous, I'd better try to improve my strength. I have a set of skills. If I practice it in the celestial stasis, I am sure that within two or three years
Increase strength by five to ten percent."
"So high?" Akasha was a little surprised. At Gu Nansheng's level, apart from absorbing essence, there are few ways to greatly improve strength. And the cultivation of Kung Fu is a long-term process. It can be achieved in two or three days.
It’s incredible that such an effect can be achieved within a year. “Is this a technique that can be exchanged to the system?”
Gu Nansheng shook his head, "It was given by a hidden NPC."
"who?"
"Queen Azshara."
"Is she Queen Azshara, the former leader of the high elves? I really didn't expect you to meet her. Can the set of skills she gave me be passed on to others?" The skills exchanged by the system cannot be passed on to others, but the ones given by NPCs do not have this kind of skills.
According to the regulations, unless Azshara herself did not want the skills to be spread, Akasha did not need to be polite to Gu Nansheng and directly expressed her interest in this set of skills.
"I didn't say it couldn't be spread to outsiders, but... this is a set of dual cultivation techniques..." Gu Nansheng said this and quietly paid attention to Akasha's expression.
After all, Akasha had gone through ups and downs, and she didn't blush when she heard the word "double cultivation". She was just a little embarrassed and said, "Can't we practice separately?"
"It's possible, but if you practice alone, the effect will be much worse, unless you have the spiritual origin and can practice the core content after the third level. I guess this set of exercises comes from Titan. The first two levels of practice focus on the attributes of the hero. From
After the third level, cultivation begins to target the essence, and the seventh level corresponds to seven essences, but the spiritual origin needs to be used as the medium for energy conversion."
Akasha has no spiritual origin, so she cannot practice. She was silent for a while and shook her head, "This technique is indeed special, but it is useless to me."
With the vast ice fields and howling cold winds, the continent of Northrend is always covered with thick glaciers and snow. From the outside, there seems to be no trace of life.
Ten thousand years ago, when the Third War broke out, the Lich King was thrown into Northrend by Kil'jaeden, where he built the Hall of the Dead.
From a distance, the Hall of the Dead is like an aerial cemetery suspended in the sky nearly a kilometer high. It has an octahedron shape and looks like two pyramids buckled together from bottom to bottom.
Gu Nansheng and Akasha can fly, so an altitude of a thousand meters is nothing to them.
Flying in front of the Hall of the Dead, Gu Nansheng couldn't help but sigh at the power of the Lich King. The Hall of the Dead was more than a hundred meters high. The weight of such a large building must have exceeded one million tons. The Lich King could actually make it with just the magic circle.
Floating here for thousands of years, this strength is really amazing...
The Hall of the Dead is entirely made of obsidian. Due to its age, the black walls have been mottled with ice and snow, and the carving knife of time has left deep traces here.
In the front of the Hall of the Dead, there is a huge skull carved from obsidian. When the Lich King was alive, the eyes of this skull would continuously flow out green liquid. As long as a mortal touches a little, he will immediately be infected.
The plague turned into zombies. The granary in Stratholme was originally contaminated by this green liquid. After Arthas led the troops to Stratholme, he learned the news that made him grief-stricken. After that, he ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates.
, resolutely ordered the massacre of the city, and since then he has been saddled with eternal infamy.
Ten thousand years have passed, and the Lich King has long since died. The liquid in the skull's eye sockets has drained away, leaving only two thick ice picks extending to more than ten meters in length, pointing straight at the earth like sharp bone spears, as if to pierce the entire
world.
There have been countless all-powerful heroes in the long history, but now they have all turned into a pile of loess. Thinking of this, Gu Nansheng couldn't help but sigh.
The upper side of the skeleton is the passage into the Hall of the Dead. The passage is not high and is inconspicuous on the surface of the Hall of the Dead.
Gu Nansheng and Akasha flew to the entrance of the passage and stopped. There was no door here, and the ice and snow accumulated over the years covered the ground with a thick layer.
"Is there anyone else here?" Gu Nansheng asked Akasha. Because the wind was very strong in the sky, he had to use magic to transmit the sound.
"This place has been empty for a long time. Since the defeat of the third war, this place has become the master's pure land. The master is used to staying here alone all day long and no one can disturb him. After the master's death, this place
It became a cemetery, and many warriors of the undead tribe wanted to bury their bones here. This was once the holy land of the undead." Akasha recalled the past and said faintly. The so-called death of the undead tribe refers to the destruction of the soul, and many people simply
Not even the corpses can be left behind.
The two walked side by side. After entering the interior, the wind gradually stopped. The empty and cold hall was monotonous and boring. Gu Nansheng could imagine Alsace walking aimlessly in the hall. The echoing footsteps were everywhere.
A reminder of his loneliness.
"This is it." After passing through several passages, Akasha pointed. At the end of the corridor, there was a black altar. The altar was hexagonal, with ancient and mysterious magic symbols engraved on it. On the six sides of the altar,
There is a gap in each corner, and each gap is a small hexagon.
Akasha said: "Put the key in, you should know the order."
Gu Nansheng nodded and placed the six crystals in order according to the principles of the magic array.
After all the crystals were placed, they began to emit a blue light. After a moment, the crystals melted into liquid and overflowed, leaving only the magic circle made of adamantine wires slowly rotating in the light.
The six golden silk magic arrays gradually merged with the ancient seal carvings. The altar began to vibrate, and the lines lit up one by one as if they were merged with the blood of Liu Guang. The black altar began to crack.
The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and after dozens of seconds, the ground of the entire passage cracked, and a huge magic circle slowly emerged. The complex symbols in the magic circle were dazzling.
At this time, the space in the center of the array suddenly distorted, like rippling mercury. This was the entrance to the treasure.
It was also the first time for Akasha to see the space magic circle at the entrance of the treasure open. Only then did she realize that the symbols on the altar just now were only a small part of the magic circle.
Gu Nansheng said: "According to the principle of the magic circle, after inserting the key, the entrance will open for an hour. After an hour, the entrance will automatically close. It will open again after a hundred days. The time for reopening is also one hour. After that, the magic circle will close and the key will pop out.
That is to say, if we can’t rush back to the entrance and wait for the magic circle to open after a hundred days, then we may be trapped inside forever.”….
"Can't the magic circle be opened from the inside?" Akasha asked.
Gu Nansheng shook his head, "The magic circle is all outside, and there is no way to start inside. There are only two ways to get out of it. One is to rely on strength to break through the space. I am still far from achieving this. The second is to break through the space with strength.
We are waiting for future generations to pick up the key and re-enter the treasure, but according to the current popularity of the Hall of the Dead, I am afraid that no one will wait for hundreds of years, and even if there is, they may not know the secret of this treasure."
Akasha nodded. This trip is indeed dangerous. Once they get lost, they may be trapped in this broken world forever.
"Check if there are any other items in the inventory that may be used." The two of them had packed the equipment and medicines they needed before coming. As for food, they didn't bring much. It would take a hundred days.
You won't starve to death if you don't eat, and there may be some monsters in the sealed world in the treasure space that you can eat.
Gu Nansheng originally wanted to take Meimei with him, but after thinking for a long time, he gave up. Although Meimei's health was sufficient, her speed was too slow and it was difficult to protect herself in this dangerous world. It would be terrible if they were separated.
Considering that they were going to fight, Akasha brought two more sets of clothes, plus some scattered items. Although there were not many items, there were still two big bags packed together, and each of them carried one bag.
Carefully entered the magic circle.
The surrounding scenery blurred for a while, and when the vision gradually became clear, Gu Nansheng and Akasha had arrived in this broken world.
This is a gray world. The sky is like a black curtain. There is no star, no sun or moon. Instead, there are meteorites of different sizes.
Those meteorites were floating high or low in the sky, blending into the black night. They looked completely motionless and lifeless.
Maybe the place he stepped on was also a meteorite, but this meteorite was a bit bigger. Gu Nansheng thought so.
There are gray rocks all over the ground nearby, and a strange plant grows between the cracks. It has only vines but no leaves. No matter what, there are plants, and the presence of plants means that there may be animals.
With Heyuan, they would have food and water. Although they would not starve to death without eating or drinking for a hundred days, the feeling would still be uncomfortable.
"There are words on this rock." Akasha pointed to a black stone next to her. Gu Nansheng looked over and saw that, sure enough, there were several large scarlet characters carved on the rock. They were written in the common language of Duota Continent. The font
As if soaked in blood, although there are only six words, it looks shocking - "Welcome to hell."
Gu Nansheng's eyelids twitched, and he secretly thought that the Lich King was indeed not a kind person. If he wanted to get his treasure, he would have to take a huge risk. Thinking about it, how could a demon king be willing to give away all his life's accumulation to his queen?
people?
Gu Nansheng reached out and touched the red font. It was not dye.
Akasha said: "This seems to be blood."
"Blood?" Gu Nansheng couldn't believe it. After thousands of years, any blood stains should have dissipated.
"Legend has it that a unicorn needs to shed all its blood when it turns into a nightmare. This blood will never fade because it has been cursed by the devil."
Gu Nansheng raised his eyebrows, "What nightmare?"
Akasha said: "When the master was still a human prince, his war horse Death Breath broke its legs in the battle. The master had no choice but to kill it. Later, the master fell into a natural disaster and he resurrected the war horse into a death war horse.
He used a unicorn as a blood sacrifice for the war horse and gave it the body of a nightmare. The master believed that the death of his war horse was not an accident. It was its fate and the master's own fate."
