Act 156: Tablet of War: Dragon Skin II

I saw where Brando's finger pointed, a pale golden beam of light woven from the center of the valley rising straight into the sky. Because the color of this light beam was extremely light, it was almost the same as the sky a few miles away.

It blended into one color, so they didn't notice it at all before. Now with the help of the green background color of the valley, they can clearly see the existence of this light pillar. Brando and Bai Jia looked at each other and instantly understood that it was

What: "Fragments of rules——"

"I didn't expect that the rule fragments near Fatan City would also fall here," Bai Jia whispered excitedly: "Because ordinary players regard the knowledge slate as much more important than the rule fragments. Only big forces will care about this kind of thing.

, so few people know the exact location of the first batch of rule fragments." Her implication was that she was lucky and made a lot of money this time.

In the game, rule fragments have almost no effect on individual players, but they are extremely important to a force. Its most basic function is to raise an artificial sun in the eternal night. Holding it means

You can build a completely independent country, because in the next era, many refugees who are forced to live will come to you. This is what careerists dream of. Brando, as the Count of Tonigel, this thing is important to him

Of course, the nature is self-evident. He originally planned to go to the Mehothoven area to look for the rule fragments, because he knew the detailed location of a rule fragment there, but he didn't expect that his luck would be so good, and it would take no effort to get it.

The location where the war slate fell is at the bottom of the valley. Clusters of white ruins stand between the dense oak forests. These marble buildings must have been majestic palaces in the past, but now only broken walls remain.

It still exists among the dense jungles. You can get a glimpse of the past. Brando pushed away the thick aerial roots, and all kinds of unnamed insects scattered densely from the disturbed tree trunks, which made people watch.

The scalp was numb. But neither Brando nor Senior Bai Jia cared about it. The latter casually slapped a spider off his shoulder and looked at the two huge rocks that appeared after the dense aerial roots were separated. The surface of the two bluish-gray rocks was covered with cloth.

Covered with mottled moss, they overlap together not far ahead. It looks like an arch, with a deep place under the arch. An oak tree that has grown for an unknown number of years is coiled on the top of the rock, and its intricate root system hangs down from the rock, connecting the two

The two rocks were firmly fixed together. There was silence in the forest. The five people left the jungle one after another and came under the two huge rocks. Bai Jia took out the rosin torch from his backpack and lit it, then raised it high. The flames immediately danced on the concave and convex rocks.

Shadows of different shades are drawn on the uneven surface, and two of the shadows form an interlaced 'X' shape. That's because someone left two deep scratches there.

She glanced there, took back the torch and replied: "This is it."

As he said that, he took the lead and walked into the depths. Brando looked around, and then followed closely, followed by Hipamilla holding a shepherd's staff. As a devout believer of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, she certainly could not

The tokens of the gods are always exposed. They are usually wrapped in cloth and carried on her back. Morpheus seems to like this dark environment, and he slightly squints his eyes in comfort. And at the end

Andrique wrinkled her nose, with a reluctant look on her face, and lifted up her skirt for fear of getting something dirty.

The firelight followed the footsteps, and the darkness faded away. Not long after everyone walked, a wall was reflected in front of them. Or rather, it was not a wall, but a thick stone arch. There were several symbols on the stone door, all from ancient times.

The word Cruz, from top to bottom, represents sunlight, air and life respectively. These are the three powers of the sun god Perkin. Sir Lawrisson is a devout Perkin believer and can even be regarded as a saint, so the skeleton can be contained in Perkin.

In the tomb of the Golden Temple.

Bai Jia stopped in front of the door, fixed the torch on the torch stand beside the door, turned around and said to the other people: "This is a magic door. It requires three Perkin disciples to inject magic power to open it. We

There are no believers of the Sun God here, but Perkin is Martha's god, so other priests from the god can also be substituted. Miss Hipamilla, you can be considered one. Mr. Earl, Andrigue and Maud and I

The two of us in Fes are treated as one, but fortunately, everyone here can use magic."

"What should I do, Ms. Nymesis?" Hipamila asked.

"You just need to put your hand on the door, and then chant the spell to cast the 'Magic Mark' spell." Brando replied, this is what the so-called injecting magic in the game means, and the Magic Mark is the most basic of all schools of magic.

Magic, it does not enter the ring, but every magic school has this basic spell in the magic. This spell can be used to identify magic items (just to identify whether there is a magic reaction). Although the magic marks of each school operate in similar ways,

But the functions are almost the same.

"Come in groups," Bai Jia reminded again: "Xipamilla, you come first."

The priestess nodded, stepped forward, put her hand on the door, and recited a mantra. After a while, the rune representing the sun on the top of the door lit up, flashing in the dim light.

Light golden light. Brando and Bai Jia looked at each other and put their hands on the stone door together. When they injected magic power, the blue air runes also lit up.

Finally, there were Andrigue and Morpheus. After the 'siblings' finished reciting the incantation, the red runes of life lit up, and the stone door vibrated with a creaking sound, and then slowly sank to the ground.

Go, the dust above fluttered straight down, and a dark space was quickly revealed behind it. Before anyone could see clearly, a withered hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness, and grabbed the person who was standing down with a snap.

After the sinking stone door, two points of scarlet fire light lit up, and a skull with two balls of red soul fire burning in its eye sockets appeared.

The undead use soul fire to distinguish the strength of their souls. In Madara, most of the lowest-level undead - including newly resurrected skeletons and zombies - have pale and almost transparent soul fire, which gradually becomes stronger as they go.

The color of the soul fire will change from light to dark, and finally turn into colors such as orange, red, blue or even purple. On the skeleton in front of you, the soul fire beating in the eye sockets has turned into deep red. This means that it is at least a skeleton knight.

Level monster.

The Skeleton Knight and the Great Corpse Witch were probably enough to frighten Brando when he escaped from Butchi, but now, they are far from enough for him to see - just a peak silver skeleton.

That's it. Before Brando had time to take action, Morpheus suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed: "The Realm of Eternal Death!" The skeleton and the dozens of skeletons behind it that were about to rush out suddenly seemed to be under a restraining spell, and the eyes in their eyes

The red light flashed slightly and then stayed there motionless.

"Turn around," Morpheus said in a commanding tone: "Open the way!"

Several skeletons turned around without hesitation and walked toward the darkness. At this time, the stone door had completely sunk into the ground. Only then did Brando see clearly that each of these skeletons were covered in rusty armor—

- Sure enough, it was the Skeleton Knight. He glanced at Morpheus. Morpheus's method of controlling these undead did not come from the Dead Moon Knight. It was the innate ability of a high-level undead creature. Of course, this ability can only

It is more effective against the weaker undead. Although the Vampire Lady is much weaker after the deck reconstruction, she still has the strength of the lower gold level, and it is more than enough to control a few skeletons at the peak of silver.

"It hasn't been long since the transformation of these undead," Bai Jia watched the skeletons leave and suddenly said, "It should be caused by the tide of magic. Most of the corpses parked in this tomb were Perkin's knights and saints during their lifetime.

He has a certain level of strength, so he can transform into such a powerful undead."

Brando nodded. Although these skeleton knights can't pose a threat to them yet, this is the entrance to the tomb. There are such powerful undead. Who knows what will be inside. This is like a dungeon. At the entrance of the dungeon

All the soldiers are in their thirties or fifties. How many levels are the elites in the dungeon and how many levels are the bosses? "Be careful." He said: "Medphis, you control these ribs and go ahead. Andrigg

You protect Hipamira, senior sister...Miss Nimesis, come to me."

Among the five people, Medphis and Andrigo are undead themselves, and they have a natural layer of protection in places where the undead are crowded. As a priest, Hipamila has the same problem of insufficient combat power as most priests. Although the goddess of the earth has

Priests are relatively combat-oriented among the priests, but that is only because of the horizontal comparison among the many priests who are powerless. They are still far behind full-time knights, especially the Knights of the Dead Moon who prefer to attack.

profession. In terms of strength alone, Nymesis is probably the worst person among them. Although the female knight is close to the manifestation of elements, she is good at swordsmanship, while the senior sister is good at spells.

The difference is huge and it's impossible to get used to it all at once.

As expected by Bai Jia, the storm set off by the great demonic tide on the sea of ​​​​magic has profoundly changed this place. As the magic surrounding the elemental barrier began to become violent, the power of the demonic moon has also been increased a thousand times.

The first impact on the continent was that the magic that permeated the entire world became richer and stronger. As a result, a large number of animals and plants were affected by the magic and transformed into monsters. The same was true for corpses. The chance of wild undead appearing increased exponentially.

In a place like a tomb surrounded by dark magic, the influence is even more obvious——

After entering the stone door, there was first a long stone staircase that went deep into the ground. Then the five people entered a dark and vast cellar. The carvings on the walls, columns, caves and ceilings of the cellar could be vaguely seen on the ground.

The shadow of the ruins seems to be a building from the same period, but there is a layer of white mist in the cellar, and the air is full of the smell of decay. Bai Jia held a torch and walked through a cellar with a large number of coffins on display. The torch

Everywhere the light could shine was covered with thick spider webs, and occasionally fist-sized spiders could be seen flashing past in the shadows of the stone slabs and wooden frames.

They were first greeted by more than a dozen skeleton knights, but after one encounter, Andrique controlled most of them. Then the vampire twins ordered their skeleton knights to turn their spears and chop their own kind into pieces. Then they

As we continue to go deeper, undead souls such as mummies and ghouls begin to appear in the tomb. Brando even encounters a demon lord. This thing is an undead creature at the peak of gold. Its strength is not even inferior to that of the fir tree he once had.

In front of these powerful undead creatures, the skeleton lord Kabasi killed by the castle. Andrigg and Morpheus's younger brothers were quickly exhausted, but the demon lord was used by Brando in just one encounter.

The sword of the earth pierced the soul fire and was nailed to a pillar.

The Demon Lord seemed to be a character like Xiaobo SS. After his death, he left a dark crystal on the ground. Brando picked it up and looked at it, and then his face lit up with joy.

"It's this thing." Bai Jia's eyes lit up when she saw the crystal in Brando's hand.

"This is a crystal infused with magic. It's a very precious thing." Morpheus also praised: "I don't know what kind of magic is infused in it."...

Brando raised the crystal under the firelight and nodded. This is the magic-infused crystal. It is actually a kind of magic scroll. It is made of the soul crystal of the undead. As we all know, most monsters die after death.

Magic crystals will be left behind. The undead are no exception. The crystals left by the undead are soul crystals. Gray soul crystals have no effect on most wizards and alchemists, but priests and necromancers can use them for storage.

High-level undead such as divine magic or refining ghosts.

The soul crystal that stores divine magic is the magic-infused crystal. Its appearance is different from the gray of ordinary soul crystals but black. Although the magic-infused crystal has the same effect as the scroll, it is a disposable item, but it is more powerful. It can

It greatly increases the strength and penetration of stored spells, increases the level of the caster, and makes it easier to activate, without the hassle of using a scroll. This kind of thing is very precious even in Madara, because it will

Not many people make this thing. The success rate is even lower. In addition, soul crystal is a precious material for making high-level undead, so few people would waste such extravagance to make such a one-time item.

For this reason, generally the level of magical spells stored in the magic crystal will not be low.

Brando quickly figured out through his 'system' what the magic-infused crystal in his hand was: "Soul Spike Magic-Infused Crystal."

"Nine-ring magic!" Bai Jia's eyes were even more amazed: "Brando, you are lucky... No, this is not magic." She suddenly reacted. "This is black magic, necromancy." Bu

Lando said, Soul Spike is a very vicious black magic. It can bypass most magic defenses and directly attack the human soul. The most powerful thing about this spell is that even if your willpower is amazing and you can resist most magic effects, it will

It will also leave a mark on your soul. As long as you are a little weak, it will wait for an opportunity to launch a second attack, making people unguarded. He subconsciously looked at the corpse of the demon lord - here

Of course, the undead are not generated out of thin air, but are transformed from the original corpse in this tomb. Judging from the strength of this undead, the owner of this corpse should at least be a Templar Knight.

Senior Sister Bai Jia had already reacted first. She walked over to the completely dead soul and tore off a piece of cloth from its putrid body: "This is the Holy Body Shroud. This person was at least a human being during his lifetime.

Saint, it’s strange, Perkin’s followers are the mortal enemies of the undead, how come they have soul crystals infused with black magic?”

"Since this man is a follower of Perkin and is also a saint, he must have fought against many undead before his death. Perhaps this is a trophy he left behind when he killed a certain necromancer during his lifetime?" Hipamilla thought.

After thinking about it, he replied.

It seemed that this was the only reason that made sense. Brando nodded and reluctantly accepted this statement. However, he looked at the dark crystal in his hand and felt that it was a bit unreliable. Perkin's followers would carry this with them.

Did he plant something evil on his body and bring it into his tomb? He temporarily put aside this idea. The road in the tomb had come to an end here. There was a closed door behind the body of the demon lord. He signaled

Morpheus and Andrigue pushed open the door, and with a creaking and dull sound, a small circular hall appeared in front of the five people.

A beam of sunlight shot down from the top of the small hall, which was particularly eye-catching in the pitch-black underground. Only then did everyone notice that a large hole had been opened above the arc-shaped vault of the small hall, as if something had fallen down from there and penetrated the ceiling.

Brando immediately realized what caused this scene. He turned around and found what he was looking for in the middle of the messy hall.

It was a square metal plate that shone with a faint silver light, rising and falling in the sunlight, suspended in mid-air and rotating slightly, as if it was quietly waiting for its first owner to arrive.
