Chapter Twenty-Four: Surprise


In the necromantic realm, Lucien put away his thoughts and prepared to find a room in this extremely monotonous and quiet withered vine castle, and wait until Count Werther, Kaliliana, and Ivanovsky had calmed down and the hunt had begun to relax before going out to meet with Leo.

According to Lucian's estimate, it will take about three or four days, and the meeting date agreed between himself and Leo is a week later, which is very ample time, just enough to control this abnormal increase in mental power.

"Fortunately, after entering, there is a projection of the withered vine castle, and Mr.

Rhine is here, otherwise according to Maskelin, the necromantic world is full of undead creatures, and the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes."

Lucien is very glad that he has not encountered the necromancer, in addition to not being a battle maniac, but preferring to study and enjoy life quietly, but also because he is very self-aware, knowing that with his current strength, it is difficult to compete with those well-known undead creatures, such as demons, ghosts, mummies, death knights, etc., so it is best not to run into the necromancer, who knows if they will summon each other and come to a large bunch.

Just as he was about to step on the gray and gloomy staircase, the whole withered vine castle suddenly shook, like a fishing boat on the sea that had encountered a storm and stormy seas.

Then the castle tore apart, split into countless shadows and slid into the distance, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The whole process was far faster than Lucian's reaction, and he didn't even have time to activate the last "Powerful Flame Shield".

Lucien, who was suddenly exposed to the barren wilderness, felt the stagnation like a solidified breath of the necromantic realm, and said in his heart a little dazedly: "What's going on?"

The pale white tear mark on his left hand was highlighted, and Lucien suddenly felt a fresh breeze surrounding him, allowing himself to be greatly restored by the spiritual power and bloodline power suppressed by the strange death and monotonous and depressing environment of the necromantic realm, just like a refreshing cool breeze blowing in the heat of summer.

"The blessing of the little girl is really good in this environment."

Lucien thought happily as he looked around and found that it was a black, white and gray area similar to the mines west of Ural City, so he said to himself in confusion, "This is the reflection of the normal main material world."

According to Lucian's understanding, although the necromantic world is a chaotic and chaotic reflection of the non-intelligent things of the main material world, and often a building is reflected from the west of the city to the north of the city, this kind of staggered and mixed seems to have a certain scope limit, probably limited to a city or a small town.

Therefore, the projection of entering the necromantic realm from the crack in the mine but directly reaching the withered vine castle in Ural City has always made Lucien puzzled: "This confusion and deviation are too great."

Now witnessing the withered vine castle disintegrating and sliding away on its own, Lucien finally realized: "Probably for some reason, Mr.

Rhine moved the withered vine castle together when he projected, and when he disappeared, the castle quickly regained its original position under the force of repulsion from the necromantic world. ” "But it's okay this way, the remnants of Ivanovsky that are difficult to completely erase in the withered vine castle will really disappear, so you don't have to worry about being discovered."

Lucien suddenly realized, came to his senses, and immediately ran towards the gap in the necromantic realm not far away.

Since Ivanovsky knew about the necromantic realm and knew that there was a gap leading to the necromantic realm in the depths of the mine, what about his accomplices, such as the high-level magician Nikonov, if he knew, he probably chose to enter the necromantic realm for a while, and after arriving at the bottom of the mine, wouldn't the traces of his battle with Ivanovsky that remained there clearly tell him that the secret that the enemy had come to the necromantic realm here might have been exposed And the exposure of this secret, for Nikonov, for Ivanovsky's companions, and for the big people behind Ivanovsky, is a more serious change than the destruction of Count Werther's affairs, and they will definitely not let go of anyone who may know the secrets of the necromantic world, which will lead to a frenzied hunt for themselves, whether it is Rhine's emphasis or Lucian's own cognition, there is no doubt that it points to this.

If Nikonov or others detect that they are hiding in the necromantic realm, they will definitely search the vicinity carefully and set up a sensor trap at the exit, then they will either find themselves in a more dangerous situation than the previous withered vine castle, or they can only hide in the rest of the necromantic realm and look for another exit gap, but in this way, they are likely to encounter powerful high-level undead creatures "You have to deal with the traces at the bottom of the cavern before anyone else arrives, and then find another place to hide."

Before Lucien stepped into the gap, he carefully sensed the environment outside through the crown, and only after confirming that there was no one did he activate the last "powerful flame shield" of the present day, and passed through the thick gloomy "curtain" and returned to the bottom of the mine.

Due to the absence of wind, the dark yellow-green "poisonous mist" has not completely dissipated, corroding the rocks and poisoning insects, rats, etc.

As soon as his spirit moved, Lucian, whose soul was much stronger, activated the "Dispel Smoke" more easily, and the cast buffer was slightly shorter than before.

After "dispelling the smoke" again and again, the "poisonous mist of Gaston" finally disappeared, and Lucien began to methodically dispose of the remains of rats and bugs, dispose of the mist-corroded mine walls, and dispose of all traces of battle.

Although he knew that Ivanovsky's companions might arrive at any time, Lucian was still very calm, did not rush, did not panic, and it only took less than ten minutes to clean up the traces with the help of several special magics.

As long as the other party does not check carefully, it will be difficult to detect, especially the more time passes, the less likely it is to be detected clues, and in the end, if you don't know in advance, you will feel that everything is normal if you use the Nine Rings Magic "Retrospective Vision" to check.

After doing all this, Lucien took another closer look, and then cast an invisibility spell to prepare to leave the place.

Just after walking a few steps, on the road to the bottom of the mine, Nikonov's breath suddenly appeared, which made Lucian frightened: "He really came" Perhaps believing that there was no one else at the bottom of the mine, or perhaps because he was fully confident in his own strength, Nikonov did not show any signs of concealing his aura, which made Lucian aware of it a lot of time in advance, and at the same time, because Lucian was already invisible and concealed his aura, and the distance was far away, Nikonov failed to detect him in time.

"Where to hide" Lucian quickly checked left and right, and the mental force field was withdrawn, so as not to be sensed by Nikonov, "You can no longer rely on invisibility, remote corners and control emotions like hiding from Ivanovsky before, this is a high-level magician" The spiritual force field of a high-level mage is like a substance, and it can clearly sense every creature in a small area, and at the bottom of such a narrow mine, unless you use the four-ring magic "High Invisibility", there is a possibility of concealment.

After looking around and making sure there was no other way to escape, Lucien decisively re-entered the Necromantic Realm.

Black, white, and gray remained unchanged, clumps of bushes froze to the ground without any wobble, and Lucien dragged out a shallow afterimage and ran wildly towards the plains below, where the undead were most likely to be encountered.

Lucien did not hide from the necrons this time, but went specifically to find them, and at the same time, the crystal ball flew up, surrounded by the Muskeline Star, and they collided in pairs and annihilated together, making Lucien a little "lucky".

Lucian, who never believed in the arrangement of fate, did his best to never bow his knees in front of the so-called fate, even if he died, he would be worthy of himself In the chaotic necromantic realm, the mountain is not high, and in a short time Lucien reached the plain and saw groups of ghouls, their rotting skin and muscles, and their eyes that were about to fall out, so "kind and lovely".

If he couldn't find them, Lucien would have to take refuge in the rocky side of the nearby low hills The ghouls smelled the breath of the creatures, and they became restless, and they were about to pounce on Lucien.

At this time, Lucien recited a silent incantation, and his breath immediately changed, and the rich aura of death and decay suddenly surrounded, and at the same time, his body began to change, and a mass of rotten flesh appeared, and he soon became a decaying and rotting ghoul.

The Magic Council's unique two-ring magic "Shapeshifting Undead" This is a new magic that combines the two ancient inheritance magics of "Immortal Veil" and "Camouflage Undead Creatures", and has their own characteristics, one is the entanglement of death energy, and the other is the appearance of undead creatures.

The ghouls, who had little intelligence, all stopped, seemed to look around a little "dazedly", and finally accepted the fact that there was one more "companion".

The ghoul leader howled silently, beckoning Lucien to come over and line up.

Not long after blending into the aimless wandering procession of ghouls, Lucien saw a figure flying in the gray sky, wearing a black Magic Empire robe, gloomy and deep, it was Nikonov.

Nikonov had no interest in the ghouls that could be found everywhere in the necromantic realm, and he flew by without even looking at them, let alone carefully scanning these "idiot" guys with a mental force field.

After Nikonov left, Lucian breathed a long sigh of relief: "It seems that Nikonov doesn't think that outsiders may enter the bottom of the mine at all, after all, it is a place cursed by demons, so at most the mental force field is checked hastily and comes in." ” Lucian's judgment was based on the fact that if Nikonov had noticed anything wrong, he would have carefully searched the area of the necromantic realm near the rift, rather than flying through it so easily.

As a precaution, Lucien continued to wander with the ghouls, and at this moment, a figure flew in the sky in the other direction, wearing a large black robe, with countless intricate and gorgeous patterns painted on it, exuding a complete necromantic aura The figure also ignored the low-level undead ghouls below, and quickly flew over the place.

"The direction seems to be the direction in which Nikonov flew to, this is a high-level intelligent undead being," Lucien thought to himself, confused.

After a while, Lucien the "Ghoul" began to get bored and planned to take the opportunity to leave through the gap and hide elsewhere, but at this moment, a figure flew in the direction of the gap again.

"This" Lucien watched in amazement as the figure disappeared into the sky where Nikonov had disappeared, and countless waves rolled in his heart, because he was wearing a cardinal's robe Although it is thoroughly black in the necromantic realm, it is undoubtedly in the form of a cardinal's robe To be continued:
