Late at night, more than a hundred invisible servants wandered outside the Bloodstream Canyon, always alert to any possible danger. Zhou Qingfeng hugged his maid and huddled in a den, sleeping peacefully. If anything unusual happened, Sophia would wake him up.
Come.
It was just that there was nothing wrong in the forest, but Xili, who was in Zhou Qingfeng's arms, opened her eyes. She lost her body and was living in the demon statue, so she no longer needed sleep. Seeing that the boy was sleeping deeply, she suddenly got up and left the den, leaving the temporary place alone.
Camp.
The environment in the forest was complex, with dead branches and rotten roots covering the ground. Even with dark vision, it was difficult to walk. Xili quickly jumped onto the branches, jumping from one tree trunk to another, walking through the darkness like a ghost.
When Xili stood up, Zhou Qingfeng woke up. He shouted a few times, but got no answer, wondering what happened to his maid. When Xili jumped on the branch, he could only follow her like a werewolf,
Follow behind.
The master and the servant moved in tandem, moving quickly and swiftly. They only made a slight sound when stepping on the branches, which was blown away by the non-stop cold wind. After walking like this for an hour or two, they both ran more than ten kilometers away.
, directly entered the blood flow canyon.
After passing through the dense and twisted woods, past the foul-smelling quagmire, and past the rugged cliffs, Hilly came to a platform deep in the canyon. This is the ruins of an elven fortress.
Rubbles are piled up on the platform, with many rusted and broken weapons remaining. There are a large number of collapsed walls on the side of the canyon. There are a large number of deep pits left by bombs inside and outside the walls, and the bottoms of some pits are scorched black, exuding a strong sense of evil.
breath.
Xili came to a large deep pit and stood on the edge of it, staring. Zhou Qingfeng followed her carefully, shouted a few words but still received no response, so he looked around - there were strong defenses built around this platform.
It should be the command post of the fortress.
The blasted pit seemed to be the core of the fortress.
"Xili." Zhou Qingfeng called again, stepped forward and gently held the maid's hand, "Where is this place? Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
The canyon was full of shadows and ghosts were rampant. The boy had to use his "dark stealth" ability to the extreme. This place looked like the core area where the demons had invaded back then. Although decades had passed, it was not surprising that several powerful monsters could be resurrected.
Strange.
Seemingly expecting Zhou Qingfeng to follow, Xili turned around and whispered: "The seventh lord of Silverleaf City, the daughter of Ivanda and Elna, the favored one of Corellon, my sister, she has only succeeded to the throne for three years.
Heaven’s Rebecca Dorn Othriel died here in battle.”
Alas... Zhou Qingfeng could only sigh.
Hilly pointed to the darkness in front of the canyon, "My brother, the sixth lord of Silver Leaf City, Qisiah, who is known as the 'extraordinary talent', faced a desperate situation on the day he succeeded to the throne. He fought desperately in the fortress in front,
Devoured by six high-level fire demons."
Hilly pointed forward again, further ahead, to the place where her parents died. In order to resist the demon army, the elves of Silverleaf City built several large defensive fortresses in the canyon. However, every time one was built, another one was captured, and every time one fell,
A city lord died.
"Back then, the demon recruited a dozen illithids from the Underdark and used mind blast to forcefully break through the defense line my sister had painstakingly built. I saw with my own eyes the heads of the elven warriors exploded one by one.
Illithids are extremely dark and terrifying monsters. They like to suck the brains of their enemies. The more beautiful and powerful the enemy is, the more they like to desecrate it. My sister is defeated and cannot escape. She can only choose the soul.
Self-destruct and join the enemy in death."
Xili's description was in a calm tone, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. But Zhou Qingfeng could tell that she was too sad, so sad that she was weak. Her family, her friends, and her tribe all died here.
She couldn't even feel sad or angry.
The elf girl slowly walked into the deep pit, pushed aside a layer of floating soil on the surface, searched carefully, and dug out some black sand at the bottom. She carefully put the sand into her quiver with great solemnity.
"Victor, I want to ask you something." Xili returned to Zhou Qingfeng's side, her knees softened, and she was about to kneel down.
Zhou Qingfeng quickly hugged the poor elf girl and said, "You tell me, I will do my best."
The elf girl raised her head pitifully, her constant sobbing making her choked and speechless.
"In order to resist the devil, my family members all died in the battle, and not even their souls were left. They completely dissipated and could not even go to the underworld. Normal resurrection spells are ineffective against them. But there are two ways to force them back.
.”
"What can I do?"
"One is the wish-making spell, a ninth-level arcane spell. It can connect the past, present, and future to realize the dream of the wish-maker. But this high-level arcane spell requires a great arcanist to cast it, and you have to be very careful. If you are not careful,
It will cause disaster."
"This sounds beyond my capabilities. Let's talk about the second method."
"The second method is necromancy. The simplest, most direct, and most difficult method. This is the place where my sister died in battle. Her soul dissipated, but her flesh and blood are scattered here. The soil I dug can be used for
Psychic medium, if you find a strong enough soul..."
Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head and probably understood what Hilly wanted. His personal maid begged: "Victor, I know that the deal between you and Mondino was to pay with your soul. I also heard that you and Justen talked about
Spiritual conversations.
I suddenly thought that maybe you could help me get my family back. I know this is difficult, and I have nothing to trade with you, because I already belong to you completely. I can only ask you, please
Have mercy on me."
Zhou Qingfeng could scratch his scalp and asked: "What is the minimum quality of soul required?"
"Blue crystal. At least one blue crystal is needed to summon my sister's soul back."
Red, orange, yellow, green, indigo and violet, plus the lowest gray, blue is the seventh level. In the world of swords and magic, those who possess blue crystal must be a legendary level strongman, the overlord of one side. In the North,
If you plant in a poor place, you may not be able to find it if you search all over the country.
If he really encounters such a person, with Zhou Qingfeng's current level 4 strength, he is afraid that the opponent will stare him to death - no joke, many high-level arcana have similar abilities.
Blue crystals are not readily available even in the real world. They are equivalent to university professors and high-level intellectuals. They must have real talent and knowledge, and parallel imports are not acceptable.
For a scumbag like Zhou Qingfeng, people at the professor level can only be looked up to.
Now there was no use even scratching his head, Zhou Qingfeng fell into a daze. Xili didn't urge him, she just whispered: "Victor, don't be too embarrassed, I know how precious the blue crystal is. If Mondino knew
If you have a blue crystal, he will definitely turn against you and grab it.
I am still your maid and will always serve you. As long as you can remember this, I can wait for decades or hundreds of years. I believe that one day you will become very powerful and you will definitely be able to satisfy me.
desire."
Alas... what a poor elf.
Zhou Qingfeng nodded, hugged Xili and said: "I promise you, I will get you a blue crystal. You have to have confidence in me as the master. If it's tens or hundreds of years old, maybe I can get it soon."
But it’s too dangerous here, so let’s go back first.”
After obtaining the psychic soil related to her sister and receiving the solemn promise from her master, Xili finally smiled. She hugged Zhou Qingfeng affectionately and nodded obediently.
The master and servant returned hand in hand, but there was trouble finding them before they left the ruins of the fortress in the canyon.
