Dele City is dark and gloomy, with a faint grayish white color, just like the one in the world of the dead! Shan Gu.
Before the entrance gap, Douglas, Fernando, Vicente, Klaus, and Erica had all arrived, waiting for Lucien.
"Did you bring the Shield of Truth with you?" Klaus saw Lucien arriving belatedly and guessed with a smile, "Including the Crown of Thorns you borrowed, there are a total of five legendary items on you, which is unprecedented.
, even I, a magician who specializes in alchemy, can’t compare to me, and the Speaker only has four items.”
"Your Majesty the Speaker's items are either at the peak of Legend or at the third level of Legend. How can I compare with them?" Lucien said "humbly".
The reason why legendary items are rare is that firstly, the required main materials are precious, and perhaps not even one can be collected for hundreds of years. Secondly, the requirements for the refiners are very high. In addition to the legendary magician and the Holy Spirit Priest, the Vampire Prince,
Ancient dragons and the like can only be refined by racial talents and strange methods, with a very high failure rate. Epic knights must rely on help from others. Therefore, there are very few similar items handed down before the Magic Empire. From the late Empire to the present
It is an explosive stage, and the number of legendary items has doubled or tripled.
It is precisely because of this that a legendary magician like Hathaway, who is good at "luxury cracking" and "elementary decomposition", is hated but not feared. If he is not careful, he can destroy many years of accumulation in one moment.
Vicente, the Lord of the Dead, planned the conversation between the two: "Now that we are all here, it's time for us to set off."
"Yes, it's time to set off." Douglas said with a faint smile, solemn but not nervous.
After getting a lot of information from the undead world, the Magic Council has long solved the problem of how to see the gap. At this time, under the specially arranged magic circle, the twisted gap is clearly visible, exuding a strong aura of death and filled with...
A trace of boring black and white.
Passing through the gap, he once again experienced the feeling of passing through a thick curtain of shadow. Lucien stepped into the world of the dead, surrounded by random reflections of Hyder City, with many towering magic towers erected crookedly.
At the same time, it's like a child's random black-and-white picture, filled with light gray everywhere.
In the whole world, except for each other, there is no extra color.
"It has been almost ten years since I first entered the Necromancer Realm, obtained the Crown of the Sun, and learned that Mr. Maskelyne was trapped. I have finally begun my journey to truly explore the Necromancer Realm." Lucien sighed inwardly.
·At that time, I had just become an official magician.
Since teleportation in the world of the dead is suppressed to a certain extent, Douglas, Fernando and others led Lucien and others through seven consecutive forward base jumps and arrived at the forefront base near the depths. They saw the prophet Bayi who was on duty here.
Gurner.
He still wears a gray pointed hat, and his two white eyebrows seem to be a little longer.
"The result I got using astrology is that there is no sign of the mysterious existence of the undead world awakening, but there are other dangers hidden in the undead temple. You must not be careless. If you encounter great danger, remember, don't rush
You have to go back, and only by moving forward can you see hope." Bergner was talking about the result that he had spent two months preparing to predict.
Fernando asked doubtfully: "Forward? And we only arrived at the Soul Hearth. We did a preliminary exploration and then returned. The legendary undead creatures in the outer area should not pose any substantial danger to us.
According to Adol's memory and the information left by Viken, there are only four undead creatures that have reached the third level of legend in this area: Lich King, Servant of Death, Ancient Mummy, and Ghost Lord. Douglas alone can suppress at least three of them.
The rest of the undead are only legendary second-level and first-level, and the number cannot exceed six. Without the interference of the legendary third-level, Fernando himself can really put them into sleep, not to mention that there are also those who are quite restrained against the undead.
Even if the undead master and "rich" Lucien were completely surrounded by more than forty legendary undead creatures without intelligence, it wouldn't be a big problem.
"Adol is just a high-level undead, and his understanding of the peripheral areas of the Temple of the Undead is still very superficial. He is only familiar with the places where he often goes in and out, but all the rooms, palaces, and corridors in the Temple of the Undead are subject to change at any time.
Change is like a living maze that may have dangerous rooms or passages that it doesn't know about." Vicente retorted to Fernando cautiously.
After he announced the information about Adol and Viken, Lucien understood why Maskelyne left the coordinate transformation rules. It was because the buildings in the Temple of the Dead were constantly changing. Maybe there were still undead here yesterday.
The garden has turned into a black tombstone today. Even high-level undead like Adol only know some of the outermost changes. Every time they go to the Soul Hearth, they are led by legendary undead.
The prophet Begener said solemnly: "I don't know where this danger comes from. Maybe you won't encounter it, but you must be careful anyway."
Douglas nodded lightly and said to Lucien, Erica and others: "This exploration is divided into two parts. The first part is to try not to cause a big noise, just like Maskelyne and the others did for the first time, quietly
Arrive at the Soul Hearth, do preliminary research on it, and look for signs and reasons for the cooperation between the church and the undead world. The second part is to return to the outer area and gradually clean up those legendary undead creatures that have no intelligence."
This plan had been discussed before. He was making final confirmation. The reason why he did not clear it first and then enter was because he was worried that the noise would be too loud and would frighten the legendary undead with intelligence. He would open the possible mystery locks in the Temple of the Undead, or
The purpose of exploration cannot be achieved by attracting interference from other forces.
After confirming the plan, the six legendary magicians left the forward base and flew into the depths in stealth.
About an hour later, Lucien's pupils suddenly reflected a huge piece of black. It was a majestic and majestic palace complex. It was countless times larger than Arlinge. It was half the size of the Kingdom of Holm, and its height was even higher.
It's immeasurable, because deep into the gray sky, you can't see everything
Even if the Legendary War would cause the destruction of a normal city, for this palace complex, it would only be the collapse of a hall or garden.!
"The deeper you go, the stronger the material of the palace becomes. Perhaps the deepest rooms are all made of the 'Wall of Sighs.'" The Lord of the Souls was rarely talkative, full of desire to explore the soul fireplace.
"Wall of Sighs" is one of the strongest defensive spells in the necromantic system. It can't be broken by any attack except being destroyed by real sunlight, and he just used this as a metaphor.
Lucien was not worried about this magic, as "Eternal Blazing Sun" happened to be its nemesis.
The wasteland outside the Temple of the Dead is densely packed with moving corpses, including humans, elves, dragons, beholder demons, kuo-toa fishmen, and sphinxes. Their skin is rotten, and their muscles are white.
The tendons were exposed, and strange maggots kept drilling in and out. They were slowly squirming and wandering aimlessly. Since there was no sound or color, it was like a black and white movie.
"They are all very good corpses." As the height decreased, Vicente, the Lord of the Dead, looked at them happily, like a child seeing his favorite toys.
Erica muttered a spell in a low voice and cast a group illusion. In this way, in the perception of every undead creature, Lucien and others were undead.
After approaching the Temple of the Undead, the six of them landed completely on the ground, shuttled among the undead creatures, and the stench of decay hit their faces.
In this area, high-level leaders began to appear among the wandering undead creatures, some with intelligence, while others only relied on instinct.
Suddenly, a three-headed giant dog looked over, breathing white flames, as if it smelled the breath of life, that disgusting breath.
When it opens its mouth, it will let out a silent roar.
At this time, Vicente glared at it, and the dark red flames jumped. Then it lay down on the ground, with three heads touching the ground, and its tail made of white bones was raised high, showing unusual fear and flattery.
Near it, other undead creatures also stopped moving, making various strange gestures, as if to welcome their master's return.
"As expected of the 'Lord of Dead Souls,'" Lucien understood the exact meaning of this legendary profession.
Under the invisible deterrent and illusion concealment, it didn't take long for Douglas, Fernando, Lucien and others to see the wall flashing with black and cold light, the wall with no end in sight.
"Six kilometers to the left from the entrance." Douglas calculated based on Adol's memory. This palace complex seemed to be extremely immune to probing spells.
So, the six people changed direction and moved forward along the city wall. At this time, a large group of mummies appeared in front of them, some were humans, some were sphinxes, and the gray cloth strips were stained with fishy stains.
The two sides gradually approached, and under the influence of the illusion, the mummies did not notice anything and wandered around in a daze.
Just as he was about to pass by, among the group of mummies, a sphinx's eyes flashed with an evil and cold light, and his body suddenly swelled to include two or three of his own kind. He also had a head full of inlays.
The aura of the golden crown of sunstone and moonstone quickly became terrifying.
"Ancient mummy?"
There are many ancient mummies, but only one is intelligent. This sphinx is obviously not, because its eyes quickly became bloodthirsty and cruel, glowing with a strange red color. However, even so, it is a legendary creature!
The mummy opened its mouth wide, ready to send out a warning signal.
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded:
"Advanced Time Stop."
Lucien's eyes turned gray, as if the whole world had frozen. When he recovered, he only saw several rays of light dancing on the ancient mummy, and finally a bright meteor destroyed it.
With a crash, the sphinx mummy turned into countless corpses, and black beetles emerged from the rotting flesh.
"Is this the strength of the legendary peak? A legendary undead creature was wiped out in the blink of an eye, even if it was only the first level." Lucien sighed, and suddenly felt that this mummy looked familiar, "Hey, does it look familiar?"
"Keep going," Douglas said in a calm voice.
Just as Lucien was about to take a step, he suddenly recalled a few scenes, so he said through his mind connection: "Your Excellency, Speaker, wait a moment."
"Is there a problem?" Fernando asked.
Lucien pointed to the broken corpse on the ground: "I seem to have seen it somewhere. I want to observe it again."
Of course, several legendary magicians would not let go of any clues and were waiting for Lucien.
After a while, just when Lucien was about to remember, those black beetles burrowed back into the rotting corpse, and the corpse began to squirm and gather toward the center!
"Not dead yet?" Erica knew very well the lethality of the Speaker's Destiny Meteor. This is the legendary magic of the star system that can be killed together with the amulet phylactery!
What weird thing does this mummy hide?
Douglas also frowned slightly. He didn't know why the Destiny Meteor failed. If Lucien hadn't asked to stay and observe, he would probably suffer from the death world.
Lucien was stunned for a moment, transformed into an epic knight, pulled out his silver-gray sword, and slashed at the rotting corpses that had gathered together again.
"ah!"
The shrill screams spread along the blade of the sword into Lucien's soul, and Lucien saw a vision:
In a dark, black and gray mausoleum, countless reddish-brown spider silks were tied to a gray coffin. There was a ball of rust-colored light stained with blood on it. With his sword, the spider silk broke inch by inch, and the light ball trembled violently.
After that, it also split into two halves and disappeared quickly. The lid of the coffin was knocked open, and a sphinx mummy sat up with a howl in pain. Then it fell into pieces and rotted into pools of scarlet pus.
