This cave was dark and narrow, and seemed no different from ordinary caves. You could also see the excrement of wild beasts and other things in the corners. However, after Lucien followed the narrow path deep into the cave, he found that there were more and more side roads, and they were as dense as a spider web.
Taking out the crystal ball from the storage bag, Lucien rubbed its surface, combined with the information provided by Rhine, and simply used astrology to roughly determine which path should be chosen.
Entering a fork road that sloped downwards, Lucien walked a few dozen meters and saw a new fork in the road, as well as a pile of strange-looking dark black soot that Rhine had described.
It looks like a palm, a specially set road sign.
Since the places that need to be visited are the Dark Mountains, the polluted sea areas on the endless ocean, the southern desert of the Gusta Empire, and the capital of the Holy Hertz Empire, Antiphore, covering the north, south, east and west of the entire continent, even if Lucien has learned advanced flying
It is very tight to complete the task within one year when careful precautions, concealment and rest are required. Therefore, Rhine provided an alien space controlled by vampires for Lucien to jump to, which can greatly save time on the road.
The compositional relationship between the alien space and the main material world is completely different from the appearance of many small bubbles inlaid on a large bubble imagined by ordinary magicians, because the existence form of space has exceeded the limit of imagination limited by experience, body and soul.
It can be determined by relying on the description of the formula.
These alien spaces are connected to the main material world through many "space nodes". Although their area is much smaller than the main world, the coordinates of the "space nodes" may be one in the Dark Mountains and the other in the Sky City Aline.
The distance between people in the alien space may be only one percent, one thousandth, or even one ten thousandth of the distance in the main material world. Therefore, jumping with the help of alien doors arranged on space nodes is the only way to rush.
Best way.
However, if the alien space is very dangerous or like a maze, the time spent in it will skyrocket, and due to the barrier of space, it is still impossible to contact the main material world. For example, "Elemental Dominator" Hathaway once explored
I tried to find the boundary of the Sea of Chaos in an alien space called "Erx Labyrinth", but I wasted a whole ten years in it and couldn't find the exit node. In the end, I had to rely on the legendary magician and his own demiplane.
Contacted him, he was forced to "drift through time and space", and it took him five years to return.
Therefore, Lucien is quite doubtful and wary of the existence of the Necronomicon. It is almost a chaotic reflection of the main material world. It has no spatial nodes, but is intertwined everywhere and connected through strange and difficult-to-detect cracks.
This makes Lucien always have the feeling that the undead world is the dark side of the main material world. Coupled with the fact that Maskelyne and other magicians are trapped in it and his natural fear of undead creatures, he is always worried that one day it will harm him.
Go to the main material world and endanger your own life.
Because of this, after learning from Rhine that there was something strange happening deep in the realm of the dead, Lucien, although he had doubts, still chose to remain vigilant and believe. With his promise first, he decided to try, but if the difficulty of the matter
It is indeed beyond the scope of my ability. I will definitely return without hesitation and choose to take the risk to inform the Supreme Council.
After discovering the first inconspicuous road sign, Lucien moved faster and faster towards the space node deep underground. He no longer needed the help of prophetic magic to choose the fork in the road.
But Lucien did not put away the crystal ball. Instead, he let it float in front of him and rubbed it rhythmically five times with his hands.
The crystal ball became brighter and brighter, and became more and more transparent. Suddenly, it turned from bright to black, and "spit out" a strange thing.
This thing was only the size of a thumb, a dark piece, with deep wrinkles on its surface.
Lucien pointed his hand, and the strange thing flew up. A gap opened in the middle, and it quickly widened, revealing pale pupils covered with thin black lines.
It turned out to be an eye!
This strange eye blurred for a while, split into nine equal-sized ones, and then disappeared and flew forward, left, and right.
The darkness in the crystal ball gradually faded away, revealing the situation inside the cave. It consists of nine parts in total, which is exactly what the eyes can see.
This is the five-ring star system magic "Peeping Magic Eye".
At the same time, Lucien cast a four-ring astrology-type magic on himself to "detect danger" to warn against malice and prying within a fifty-meter range.
Based on the situation observed by the magic eye, Lucien cautiously headed underground. According to Rhine, there are many monsters in the ancient dwarf ruins that hide space nodes and gates to other worlds, such as underground hunters, such as death.
The dwarf ghosts that cannot be dissipated in the end, such as the twisted nest mother and the countless fallen monsters she created, even if there are no high-level creatures, may still threaten you during a surprise attack.
…………
The forked roads dazzled Angeus's eyes. In this dark, damp, and depressing cave passage, he could no longer feel Lucien's breath, let alone his figure.
From the processing traces, Lucien had obtained the true inheritance of Natasha, the Heavenly Knight, and Angeus did not dare to get too close, so in a general sense, it had lost track of Lucien.
Two dots of red flames jumped on the rotten face. Angus did not panic. He recited a silent incantation and began to use the prophecy magic of the star system to determine Lucien's location.
Although there are many forks in the road, Angus is very sure that the straight-line distance between the two is not more than one kilometer. With such a close distance, prophecy magic is quite accurate.
"Astrological coordinates (159, 260); Lucien is at this location, four hundred meters away from me." Angius chose a fork in the road based on Lucien's position and moved forward cautiously. Once it encountered a dead end, it turned into a spirit.
The body may disappear into the realm of the dead and pass directly through the wall.
There is no unified standard for astrological coordinates. There are significant differences between high-level undead and those used by the Magic Council. In particular, the magic they cast is innate and instinctive, and it will naturally occur when they advance.
After passing through more than a dozen mountain walls in a row, and seeing that he was about to catch up with Lucien, Angius reminded himself in his heart: "You cannot enter within thirty meters of him, otherwise you will be sensed by level nine magical items.
After determining his destination, attack and kill him secretly!"
…………
With the "Peeping Demonic Eye" to detect the way and warn, Lucien did not show any surprise when the ferocious fallen monsters pounced out. The simplest and fastest magic missiles condensed and traced silver-black trajectories, with perfect accuracy.
Kill them.
These fallen monsters range from normal human bodies to dwarves. They all have curved horns on their heads, and their bodies are made of black "armor" solidified by viscous liquid. The white bones of their right hands are exposed, and they range from giant axe to giant axe.
Long sword style, holding the same black "shield" in his left hand.
They often rush out in groups of three or five, and their roars are extremely evil and can make people feel dizzy.
After killing four fallen monsters, Lucien took a look at the disgusting solidified liquid on their bodies. Considering that his storage bag was very full, he abandoned the materials and continued to move forward cautiously.
As he walked, Lucien suddenly felt a scorching heat coming from the Crown of the Sun Talisman on his chest. Having unlocked three layers of seals, it became even more sensitive to undead creatures!
"The powerful undead aura, the straight-line distance is less than 25 meters?" Lucien was slightly shocked when he sensed that the aura was chasing him through the wall without hesitation, "It is a high-level undead in the undead world.
Was he pursued? Mr. Rhine’s plan was discovered?”
Caressing the ring, Lucien got ready,
…………
"We are still sixty meters away from Lucien, so we must be more careful. He has many powerful magic items on him. If he is discovered in advance, he will be involved in a fierce battle." Angius also stayed at the Pale Hand for a year or two, probably
I know that Lucien has obtained many seventh-level magic items due to his contribution to arcane research, and he also has the amulet made by Maskelyne!
Hiding in the world of the dead, passing through the black and white gray rock wall, Angus came to another fork in the road. Just as he concealed his body, got out of the space barrier, and was about to determine Lucien's position again, he was shocked to see the road.
At the end of the scene, Lucien, wearing a black double-breasted gown, came out of hiding, looked at himself with a smile, and a dim ray on his hand hit him as if he had expected it.
"Isn't it sixty meters? This is obviously less than ten meters!"
Angus thought in shock and grief, before he had time to react, he watched the "anti-magic ray" hit him.
The high level of invisibility disappears, and the other magical effects superimposed on it disappear one by one!
"What is this guy here for?"
Lucien also felt strange. He carefully used misdirection and other magic, and then hid and made a surprise attack, but this weird high-level undead acted like he was passing by!
However, the familiar strange white patterns and strange black robes reminded Lucien of the high-level undead he had spied on in the world of the dead, so as soon as the anti-magic ray was obtained, and with a slight buffer, he cast "Dimensional Cage"
". This is magic that specifically binds spirit bodies.
Angus, who was hit by the anti-magic ray, briefly lost the ability to travel back and forth between the realm of the dead and the main material world, and also lost the ability to cast magic.
It is not the development path of a death knight. At this time, it has almost no ability to fight in melee. It can only rely on the spirit body as a form of its own existence to not be suppressed by anti-magic rays and rush towards the rock wall it just passed through.
.
As long as you hide on the other side and buy a few seconds, you can recover!
Angus just turned around and drifted towards the rock wall, but he suddenly hit an invisible wall and bounced back.
Its shock, grief and anger just now, and its slow reaction cost it precious time to escape!
At this time, a solemn and vast aura emerged from Lucien's chest, and an invisible halo quickly spread to the surroundings.
The sixth-level magic, "Immortality and return to death"!
The dimensional cage is only a three-ring magic, and the buffer after being used by Lucien, who is already a high-level person, is very short.
Enveloped by the aura of immortality, Angus's spirit body was like snow water meeting the sun, and began to melt rapidly, letting out a shrill scream.
Without magical defense, it is completely unable to resist this magical spell of the same level.
"Why is this happening?!"
Angus was extremely sad and angry. Why didn't he even have a chance to display his powerful strength? Why did the prophecy magic show such a big deviation?
Its consciousness gradually blurred, and it was about to disappear. Suddenly, an invisible shackle trapped it, and it was taken off in front of Lucien.
Immortal Throne Robe, "Soul Shackles"!
Since victory came so easily, Lucien must seize the opportunity to "torture" this strange high-level undead.
Although there are no items on it to imprison the soul for a long time, Lucien has no intention of carrying it with him. After casting the spell to buffer it, he directly uses magic to read its most impressive memory.
Resentment, anger, and confusion were the first to emerge. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
