After the fourth-level lich threw Alice here, he walked away without a care.
Alice climbed up from the cold floor with difficulty, straightened her messy hair and clothes, and then leisurely began to look at the magic palace in front of her.
When she first saw this magic palace, Alice's most intuitive feeling was...it's so big and so tall!
This place is obviously the underground of Jialan Continent, but these strange undead people have just opened up a huge cave here, and then built a tall and magnificent magic palace.
Alice stood in the center of the hall and looked around, and found that she could not see the surrounding walls with her own vision. Although this tall and empty space was shrouded in a thick darkness, it should not be able to block or weaken Alice's vision.
Vision is the right thing.
Then the only possibility is that your location is more than a kilometer away from the edge of the palace.
Only in this case is the current situation possible!
Alice looked up at the sky again. The high dome gave her a distant and empty feeling. A strange and cold white light shone on her, making her feel even more lonely and cold.
Although everything here is so weird, Alice is walking leisurely inside without any surprise. Because, ever since Alice woke up here, she has been able to feel a strange gaze focusing on herself.
Watch her silently from all angles.
Now she is like an ant trapped in a small glass bottle by humans, with an unpredictable future. And the other person is lying at the mouth of the bottle, studying her with an alternative visual observation.
"You should know why I came to you, right?"
Suddenly, an unusually loud and cold voice echoed in this huge hall.
It's hard to tell the other person's gender from their voice.
Alice nodded slightly.
"Of course, you want me to divine the whereabouts of an item for you! If I couldn't predict this, I'm afraid you wouldn't waste your time on me!"
"Haha, the only advantage of dealing with you destiny favored people is that you don't have to talk so much nonsense." The grand voice continued: "Okay, now tell me your request! As long as you can give me a satisfactory answer, divination
I won’t be paid a penny less..."
"I came here for a prophecy scepter..."
"The Prophecy Scepter...is this the one you are talking about?"
With the roar of the loud sound, a magic water mirror appeared in front of Alice's eyes, and inside the magic water mirror was a simple and crude huge dragon cave. The center of the dragon cave was thickly filled with glittering gold coins and various
Various magic gems, weapons, armors and magic props.
And at the top of the pile of gold coins, a magic scepter shining with colorful light was inserted diagonally on it. Judging from the style and the magic fluctuations, it was the prophecy scepter that Alice had dreamed of!
Alice's eyes immediately burst out with intense desire. She used all her strength to control her body and not reach forward to grasp the shadow in the water mirror.
"Yes, sir, what I need is this prophecy scepter!" Alice calmed down all her expressions and concentrated on talking to the other party.
"No problem!" Hongda's voice chuckled: "As long as you divine the whereabouts of an item for me, this scepter will be yours!"
So easy...so easy...
I spent all my manpower and material resources, and risked my life to come to this plane of law and grace to seek the prophecy scepter, and now I can get it at my fingertips?
Alice calmed down and immediately sensed something was wrong.
Since the other party is willing to use a semi-artifact as a reward for divination, the value of this item that requires divination can be imagined. Alice knows very well that the cost of life required for each divination is often proportional to the value of the divination item.
Proportional.
The more valuable the item, the more difficult it is to divine, and the more astonishing the price she has to pay!
Not enough. Compared with the divination remuneration, another problem worried Alice even more.
"My lord, what do you mean...as long as I provide you with enough details about the whereabouts of the items, you can allow me and my companions to leave with the prophecy scepter?" Alice asked tentatively.
"That's basically what I mean. But the person I am trading with is just you, so after the prophecy is successful, you can leave with the prophecy scepter. As for the others... they are not included in this transaction!"
Alice's smile faltered, and her expression became serious again.
"Sir, they are my companions! I hope to take them away together..."
"Haha, little guy, don't make those unreasonable demands. We are just doing a fair deal this time! You give me the information, and I give you the scepter. You have no right to bargain with me!"
"grown ups……"
"Little guy, don't think you can use this to blackmail me! There are many people in this world who have mastered prophecy. I can definitely send people to catch them all. As for why I chose you? The only reason is you
I am a wizard. You wizards have always been selfish, you are very flexible when doing business, and you don’t have those disgusting rules and regulations when negotiating deals... So, little guy, don’t waste my patience!"
"My lord, what if I give up the scepter of prophecy as payment?"
The grand voice was silent for a moment, and finally responded: "If you give up the prophecy scepter, then you can take away your wizard partner. Moreover, I can also agree to your other 'little' request..."
The corners of Alice's mouth curved slightly, with a trace of regret and sadness on her face.
…………
Three days later.
Greem, Alice, Ursa, Mary and the rest of the group successfully left the Death Trace and returned to the floating giant ship.
But as soon as she stepped onto the floating giant ship, Alice fainted inexplicably and fell to the ground unconscious.
After joint examination by several fate witches, they finally came to a terrible conclusion: Alice's life was about to run out.
This trip to the underground seemed to have consumed a lot of Alice's vitality, and all her body functions were on the verge of collapse. Based on her current physical condition, it is estimated that Alice only has two months to live!
Before that, Alice's vitality could last at least forty years.
…………
When Alice woke up again, it was already night.
The floating giant ship floats slowly above the high clouds. Through the portholes, you can see pieces of broken clouds sliding quickly past the sides of the ship.
There are no lights in the cabin.
Only the dim and bright moonlight outside the window filtered in, vaguely illuminating the tall and muscular figure in front of the bed.
Greem's tough facial features were very three-dimensional, and the dim light cast deep shadows on his face. When Alice opened her eyes, what she saw were the bright pupils hidden in the shadows.
"You have lost forty years of your life!" Greem sighed quietly.
Alice's pale face was leaning on the white pillow. Her face was actually paler than the white cloth!
"Don't worry about me!" Alice forced a smile, and her silky and smooth hair was now silvery white: "I can live for a while at least, and this time is enough for us to do something!"
"Two months!" Greem replied decisively.
"Two months is already a long time...don't you have confidence in me?"
Greem hesitated for a moment, and finally asked in confusion.
"Under the ground, what happened to you after we were captured?"
Alice leaned on the pillow and softly recounted her experience in the magic palace.
"So...why did that mysterious strong man ask you to divine for him?" Greem couldn't help but asked curiously.
Alice lightly tapped her forehead with her finger, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "After the divination was successful, that guy used magic to erase part of my memory. So even I can't remember what the divination was...
"
"That hateful guy actually touched your memory... Since he has such great ability, why didn't he learn divination by himself instead of asking you, a little witch?" Greem muttered angrily.
Alice smiled lightly.
"Perhaps this is related to his original attributes! The power of destiny has always been relatively repulsive to dark attribute energy, so...if he is a high-level undead, then his luck value will always be locked in the negative, any prediction
Such spells will also insulate him..."
"Ahem, I know what you said. However, I still feel so angry that I have made you lose so many years of life in vain. I am growing up..."
"It's not really companionship!" Alice said with a cold smile: "Don't forget, that adult still agreed to my 'little' request!"
"Oh? What did you request?"
"I asked him to send troops to harass the forest elves a little..."
Greem was speechless for a while after hearing this.
After walking around the underground world, he knew very well how terrifying the undead were.
If thousands of undead swarmed to the surface, it would probably bring a disaster more terrifying to the forest elves than the witch plague!
…………
Traces of death.
The elves stationed near the Death Scar are still sending teams to search for the whereabouts of Lord Antolil.
But while they were busy, strange clouds of mist floated up from deep underground, drawing in the Death Trace and the surrounding magical forest.
And in the mist, waves of hoarse howls and noisy and intensive friction sounds were heard continuously.
Following the night breeze, a foul rotten smell filled the entire world.
Groups of zombie skeletons crawled out from the depths of the ground, moving towards the nearby elf stronghold with sluggish steps. Behind them, large groups of white ghouls emerged from deep trenches, commanded by some mid-level undead.
Then he rushed towards the nearest elf city.
In their queues, you can even see blood monsters, Dabo zombies, iron zombies, ghosts, skeleton mages, zombies and the like from time to time.
And all of them, without exception, have been given strict orders to slaughter all elves by the master behind them!
Therefore, all of their eye pupils are blood red... (To be continued)
