There was no wind, no vibration, no raindrops, and no stars could be seen in the gray sky. Everything in the mysterious world was frozen in silence, but the blood-red liquid shrouded in the big cross kept swaying as if it had vitality.
, and the dark red color is in sharp and strange contrast with the black, white, and gray background of the entire world. Even a magician like Lucien who is good at staying calm and focused can't help but feel palpitated.
Lucien took a closer look at the bright big cross, and turned to the corresponding position in the "Book of Astrology and Elements" in the Soul Library for comparison: "This is not like the use of mystery locks such as protective magic towers.
It’s like concentrating most of the power to seal something.”
Thinking of this possibility, Lucien looked at the swaying blood-red liquid seriously for a few seconds again, and then corrected his previous calculation of the location of the Magic Garden based on the positions indicated by the reflections of the nine stars. Once he got the accurate result, he did not hesitate.
He turned around and ran along the path by the lake to the edge of the black forest to the west, where there was the nearest magic garden.
Lucien was very curious about what was sealed, but he also understood that approaching the legendary seal with his own strength, which was not yet a formal extraordinary ability, was simply courting death. He could not allow greed to blind his mind, and he could not be confused.
main purpose.
A faint gray-white afterimage flashed by, and Lucien, who had recovered a lot due to the powerful self-healing ability of the Moonlight Bloodline, quickly left the lakeside path and entered the "real" black forest.
It was extremely quiet, not a single living thing could be seen, not even the leaves showed any signs of shaking.
In this depressing forest, Lucien silently calculated the distance, and after ten minutes he saw a huge building shrouded in black shadow. From time to time, bright lights were drawn out from inside, falling towards Lake Elsinore.
direction.
Lucien slowed down and held the "Vigilance" sword tightly in his right hand. The closer he got to the Magic Garden, the less he dared to relax. Although most of the power for the operation of the "Grand Cross" mystery came from the earth, the sun and the nine stars.
Stars, but the self-circulating magic garden is also a useful supplement. It is impossible not to have magic traps or magic circles to prevent others from breaking in.
The black "bat pituitary gland" appeared in Lucien's left hand, and he recited a silent mantra. Invisible fluctuations spread with Lucien as the center, and were reflected back when encountering obstacles.
Tall black firs took shape in Lucien's mind, and the scene within a few hundred meters gradually became clearer. However, ultrasonic detection could only return a rough shape, and there were many stationary and strange things that made it impossible to determine what they were.
, as for living creatures, there is no aura at all.
While checking magic traps, etc., Lucien moved forward cautiously. When he got close to the strange thing he had just detected, he realized that it was a strange-shaped black boulder and was not something dangerous.
Slightly relieved, Lucien continued to walk forward.
"There is another strange thing ahead, it may also be a stone..."
Bypassing some of the dense trees, Lucien, who had dark vision, immediately saw the strange thing.
This is a tombstone carved from stone. It appears gloomy black and covered with a light haze in the Mysterious World. Behind it is a small tomb.
A pale line of words was engraved on the tombstone: "The noble and brave Mr. David Shetterion, who became the mayor of the small town of Bonn because he executed many heretical poor people, but died because he fell in love with a person. Okay.
, although he fell in love with a man, a man with great strength."
Facing this darkly humorous epitaph, Lucien's mouth twitched slightly. If he remembered correctly, he had seen this tombstone when he sneaked into the town of Bonn, but it was located in the town's cemetery rather than in the Black Forest:
"Did the cemetery move here in the Mysterious World?"
In the cemetery behind the tomb, there are many black cross tombstones without tombs, which look particularly cold and cold against the black and white background.
Lucien took a look at the cemetery, and considering that the monotonous world of black and white and gray was very suitable for undead creatures, he turned to the side and prepared to bypass the cemetery.
Although this will take a few minutes, it is much safer.
Lucien, who had just turned around and held "Vigilance" tightly, felt that hair on his hair standing on end and the coldness seeping through him again, so he slashed his sword behind him without hesitation.
A touch like hitting rotten wood and a huge force came through the vigilance at the same time. Lucien's arms went numb, and he rolled forward using the momentum, and his body quickly turned into moonlight.
After hitting a tombstone on the edge of the cemetery, Lucien bounced to the side and took the opportunity to turn around. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the pale text on the black cross tombstone:
"I used to be fat, but I'm finally losing weight."
In the slightly raised black cold soil behind the laughable epitaph, a rotten palm suddenly stretched out, and then a humanoid undead creature with rotten flesh, exposed bones, and a foul smell sat up as the soil flew.
When Lucien turned around, he saw a similar undead creature. The door to Mr. David Shetterion's tomb had been opened!
Lucien turned into an afterimage, alert and slashing forward with the long sword, but the undead creature chasing Lucien was very fast, and instinctively dodged the sword to the side and rushed towards Lucien.
The long sword had enough power to move around in an arc and was right in front of him.
After the silent collision, the vigilance sword shook rapidly. The power of the undead creature actually surpassed Lucien by a little. At the same time, after smelling the stench and rotting smell, Lucien felt pain in his head, his forehead felt hot, and his body felt slightly...
Feeling of numbness!
"Ghoul!"
Lucien recognized the type of this undead creature from its sharp teeth and combat characteristics, which were much better than ordinary skeletons.
In this weird mysterious world, it is comparable to a formal knight. Its speed and agility are not much worse than Lucien's, and its strength is slightly better.
Ghouls have the characteristics of undead creatures, and their whole bodies are covered with a halo and negative energy of the zombie plague. Once they are hit by it, the whole person will be paralyzed and unable to move, and will be infected with the disease.
And if you are killed by it, you will become a new ghoul after one day.
After recognizing the type of undead creature, Lucien began to swim around without making direct contact with the first ghoul. The second ghoul seemed to be weaker than the first, with neither speed nor agility.
He could only angrily chase the afterimage dragged out by Lucien from the side.
Dealing with the unconscious ghoul, Lucien gradually gained the upper hand. The vigilant sword slashed at it from time to time. Although every time it was like hitting a thick piece of wood and could not be completely cut off, it also made the ghoul unable to be completely cut off.
The corpse's rotting flesh fell off piece by piece.
At the same time, Lucien is preparing the "Wall of Fire and Brimstone" magic to quickly get rid of the ghouls.
The ghoul became more and more crazy, and suddenly opened his mouth and screamed silently.
The scream did not cause any harm to Lucien, but Lucien saw rotten arms suddenly stretching out from the cemetery, forming a strange scenery with the black crosses.
"So many undead creatures?! Are there any as powerful as this one?"
Lucien took advantage of its scream and placed a line of pale flames in front of him. The smell of sulfur was pungent and strong.
Then, Lucien ran away to where he came from without looking back. There were so many undead creatures that he couldn't deal with. If there was another similar ghoul, he might not even know how he died.
Cutting down the second ghoul blocking him with one sword, Lucien was about to escape when he smelled a strong putrid and disgusting smell.
Another powerful ghoul stood in front of him, and behind him, more than a dozen ghouls were rising from the cemetery.
With a vigilant sword, Lucien's left hand shone brightly, and three pale white ice blades flew out with strong coldness.
"Palmera's Ice Blade" hit the ghoul in front of it, causing deep wounds on its arms, neck and chest.
But as undead creatures, such injuries are not fatal, and they are immune to cold damage!
At this time, the cold breath of the "Ice Blade" quickly condensed a thin layer of ice on the ghoul's body, temporarily freezing it in place.
Lucien activated "Ice Avenger" and immediately cast "Ring of Loss". The gravity suddenly became slightly heavier, causing the ghoul behind the "Wall of Fire and Brimstone" to suddenly lose his balance and tilt to the side.
Taking this opportunity, Lucien dragged out a faint afterimage and passed by the ghoul who was starting to crack in the ice, and ran away in the direction he came from.
In the cold and desperate silence, behind the moonlit Lucien was a large group of rotten ghouls emitting stench, chasing him madly.
Lucien was very calm and began to change direction as he ran away, heading around the Magic Garden.
The ghouls were both strong and weak, and they were slowly pushed away by Lucien. Only two formal knights were still chasing them. At this time, Lucien had already seen the black gate of the magic garden.
The Magic Garden is surrounded by black and gray shadows. Only this gate can be clearly seen, and behind the gate is a low building. It seems that the only way to enter the Magic Garden is through it.
This low building seems to be a magic tower with the lower floors cut off. It has a pointed black tower top and a strong and weird and gloomy architectural style of the ancient magic empire.
Lucien was originally going to make a few more circles to get rid of the two ghouls, but when he just left the dense black forest and approached the magic garden, he suddenly found that the strange circular magic circle painted on the gate looked very familiar.
It is the most basic magic circle of the "Grand Cross" mystery, but only a small part is missing, but it has a complete structure in the "Book of Astrology and Elements".
"Specially prepared for his successor?" Anticipating the unrealistic feeling of being partially confirmed, Lucien had no time to hesitate and ran towards the door dragging his gray-white afterimage. He held a tube of mercury in his hand and gathered his mental strength.
Ready to go.
As soon as he got close to the door, the mercury turned into drops of white water and flew out, and under the control of his mental power, he began to complete the magic circle.
The incomplete parts are very simple and special. If you don't know the complete structure, even the archmage may have to analyze it for a long time to figure it out. However, Lucien knows the basic magic arrays of the 'Grand Cross Frame' and has already prepared them.
It only took a little time for the mercury to turn into three-dimensional lines and structures that were integrated with the original magic circle.
Two ghouls rushed behind Lucien, one on the left and the other on the right. Their unpleasant stench and the corpse plague they carried made Lucien slightly dizzy.
All the lines of the magic array lit up at the same time, blooming with bright light, and the black door sank into the void behind, revealing a deep and mysterious hollow.
Lucien gritted his teeth and jumped in when the two ghouls were about to grab their backs. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support
