Chapter 439 Tomb of Eternal Night
Outside the magic tower, Soderol was leading ten soldiers and Akasha who were still strong enough to march towards the White Palace.
After going through all kinds of escapes and battles in one day, to be honest, even the most powerful Soderol was a little weak in his legs. Fortunately, everyone ate something when guarding the outer city wall, otherwise they would definitely be exhausted and paralyzed at this time.
"Hah..."
Because of the physical damage attached to the ice pick, when the snow monster died, many internal organs were splashed on the ground, so the soldiers' leather boots always made an unpleasant sound.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have been frightened by the hellish scene in front of them, but Suo Deluoer and others have long been accustomed to it, and their expressions have not changed much.
"Let's try to hurry up, Roddy's situation is very bad..."
Akasha witnessed the scene of Rody's injury in the magic circle, and she was very anxious at this moment, so the team that had just entered the magic tower for a long time, did not even have time to rest, and rushed here. However, compared to the distraught priest, Soderol was obviously more cautious—even if there were no living creatures around, he still made the soldiers wear the few remaining armors, and each carried several secondary weapons , I even walked ahead with a keel shield, alert to possible enemies.
The team quickly left the protection area of the magic tower, and after passing through the long arcade separating the two areas, they stepped into the white palace area.
There were still large pieces of corpses and ice pick fragments in front of him, and the surroundings were abnormally quiet, but after walking a few steps, Soderol suddenly stopped, and raised his hand to make a "guard" tactical gesture.
"how?"
Akasha stopped in her tracks and looked forward suspiciously.
The piles of corpses around were no different, and only the sound of the cold wind howling could be heard in his ears. Akasha waited for a long time, but found that Soderol frowned and sniffed, closing his eyes to feel something, and lifted his "guard" after a long while Order.
"I always feel that something is wrong, maybe I think too much..."
Soderol shook his head with a solemn expression, and then made a "move on" gesture.
*****
"Cough cough cough..."
Nata, who woke up from a coma, opened her eyes, resisted the severe pain and wanted to get up, but was persuaded to go back by the soldiers who looked after her—"Pastor Akasha told you not to move around, she has already been with Thord Captain Lore went to rescue Lord Roddy.
"
Those familiar soldiers were in sight. After hearing what they said, Nata felt much relieved, then nodded without saying a word, and lay back.
The remaining soldiers of the team are resting on the first floor of the Demon Tower. Several barbarian big men who escaped by chance are curiously pointing at the corpses in the laboratory on the first floor to discuss something. Two soldiers are standing guard at the gate... The atmosphere is relaxed and calm. The danger seems to have dissipated.
Nata breathed a sigh of relief, and then found that not far away was the patio-like round hole—because Akasha and Akasha had observed the situation below, she was not very interested in the ice crystal veins at this time, and she breathed out slowly. Close your eyes and get ready to rest...
But at this moment, a slight vibration made her eyes widen suddenly.
Nata turned her head abruptly, her eyes once again fixed on the underground area where the ice crystal veins were located. As a wood elf, she has sensitive senses that are incomparable to humans, but when she found something wrong, the soldiers and barbarians standing guard all around were completely unaware.
"Om..."
Like countless bees flapping their wings beside her ears, Nata felt that the buzzing sound seemed to be getting louder and louder. She instinctively stretched out her hand and pulled the longbow to her side, becoming more and more sure that the sound came from the ice crystal veins. came.
"How is this going?"
*****
In the White Palace, Rody had the same doubts as Nata.
The skill description of "Demon Hunter's Vision" is a little vague. What is the concept of "opening the unique vision of a demon hunter"? Rody has never understood - he has used this skill several times, but other than blurred vision and dizziness Nothing was gained.
However, at this moment, the "Vision of Hunting Demons" made him seem to see a new world.
Rody's field of vision is filled with colorful silk threads, they are as light as spider silk floating in the air, swaying gently with a certain rhythm...
He stretched out his palm involuntarily, and found that these thick silk threads immediately spread out like extremely repulsive magnets. When observing carefully, Rody gradually distinguished the various colors among them—but after his eyes shifted, he suddenly froze, staring closely at the largest relief in the middle of the wall.
Under the "Vision of Hunting Demons", the "map" that originally depicted the magic circle has completely changed: countless flowing elements are like light bands, filling the empty space where the relief originally belonged to "blank" and filled with countless roads. texture!
Roddy immediately realized...the sudden extra lines and lines were definitely not the product of coincidence.
Merlinsera on the side was a little puzzled by Rody's exclamation, but when Rody described everything that appeared on the relief, her expression changed immediately.
"Can you see these elements clearly?"
This was the first question, because she confirmed that Rody was not a mage when she was in the Silent Whispering Forest. It is absolutely impossible for a guy who is insensitive to elements to suddenly have a magister-level ability in half a year, this is absolutely abnormal.
But what puzzled her even more was the second question: "You said that the area of this magic circle is five times larger than what was originally displayed?"
"That's right, if the proportions are correct, its edge even extends beyond the Deathrattle Canyon... Eh? So it's here too?"
When Rody compared his "Map Bar", he found that the ruins where he led the team to explore and collect the mission rewards were also part of the magic circle!
He originally thought that the city of Elson constructed by Khadgar could be regarded as a "big hand", but at this moment he realized how short-sighted he was - the area occupied by this giant formation might have reached the size of a "glacier". Plains" a third of this map!
What does this guy Solomon want to do? How much resources and time did he spend on doing this? !
The shock in his mind made Rody a little suffocated, but when he realized that the "monster hunting vision" only lasted for 60 seconds, he immediately looked carefully at the area with the densest and most conspicuous elements on the relief—the part of the copy. The center of the magic tower.
When looking closely at the past, the silk threads surrounding the core of the magic tower actually formed a long line of faintly visible writing:
"kal-das--,..."
Rody tried to spell the words composed of high elves suspiciously, wondering why the words couldn't make sense, but he didn't expect Melinthra to change her face when she heard his words, and shouted, "Stop! Stop! Down!"
Rody immediately shut up, glanced around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no vision, he realized that he was a little reckless, and apologized in a low voice: "Sorry, I don't know much about spells... what kind of spell is this?
The Shadow Dragon didn't speak for a few seconds, because the shock in her heart was not much smaller than that of Roddy: "This...this shouldn't appear here-this is Yongye...this is only for the Dragon Clan. s things!"
She didn't say the whole thing, because it involves some "secrets" within the Dragon Clan: every race has some scum or heinous criminals, and the Dragon Clan is no exception. And because of their powerful abilities, ordinary methods can't kill adult dragons of the "half-god" level at all, so a Jedi named "Tomb of Eternal Night" was specially built within the Dragon Clan to execute the same kind.
There, the heinous dragon clan will be annihilated at the same time under the power of the magic circle. No matter how many souls this guy has split, how many "fate boxes" similar to liches he has... It will be useless.
And the reason why Merlinsera knows this so well is because several of her most powerful uncles... were all executed in this way.
She once wanted to save these uncles, and also studied the construction principle and activation method of the "Land of Eternal Night" magic circle, but in the end, because of her limited ability, she could only watch those uncles who once dominated the world die...
But this Shadow Dragon would never have thought that he could see the same magic circle in a ruin.
"If I'm not mistaken, Solomon should have done this to deal with Bolan Tulu." After hearing her describe the effect of the magic circle, Rody immediately thought of many things, "Then I should activate the magic circle to kill him now." Seems like a good choice?"
"No...it's not that simple." Although Merlinsera didn't see the complete array, she was able to make a judgment based on the clues she had noticed before, "This is a nested multiple array, and its biggest limit is that every No point of action of a magic circle can overlap—that is, the point of action of a magic circle that can kill it is definitely not here."
Luo Di looked a little ugly: Solomon, what does this mean? Do I still have to dig out the sealed Bai Lantulu from the grave, and then drag him to the casting position and activate the spell?
No matter how you think about it, it's cheating.
Both of them realized that this city and Solomon behind it were not simple, so they simply stood in front of the relief and chatted about the information of "Solomon". Roddy finally understood why Solomon died in this place where no shit...
To put it simply, it is because he proposed that "element" is the "truth" that high elf mages should pursue in the era when "arcana" was the mainstream, and he really proved this point with experimental results-and the result was He was expelled to this icy place by those powerful Arcanists.
"No matter how you put it, he is a genius of the sky, but he was suppressed and made it like this... It's like Copernicus." Roddy shook his head, thinking that if the world didn't rely on strength to speak, then Solomon's fate would definitely be the same as that one's. Heliocentric astronomer.
"Who is Copernicus?"
"Um, a mage who got killed for telling the truth."
Having said that, the two heard a scream coming from the gate of the palace. Rody turned his head to look, and saw Akasha running over like flying, and then threw herself into his arms...
"Roddy!"
Feeling the faint scent in his nose, Rody tightened his arms, and comforted the little pastor who had shed a lot of tears in a low voice. The two hugged each other tightly and was seen by Melinsella next to him. ——She narrowed her gaze for a moment, then moved away as if nothing had happened.
Soderol's team arrived afterward. Speaking of which, a group of people are no strangers to Melinsera, but seeing each other again... the atmosphere is a bit weird. After all, the "Dragon Clan" is too powerful in the eyes of mortals, and those bumpkins in Davidian are basically like observing gods. And when he saw Rody's indifferent tone introducing everyone to greet Merlinsera, even Suo Deluoer secretly sweated...
When did these two get so close?
As a woman, Akasha was naturally aware of this, but she greeted Melinsera with a respectful salute, stepped back and stood behind Rody, and although she didn't say anything else, she held her hands tightly. With Roddy...
Melinsera lowered her eyes, turned around and walked straight to the door: "Roddy, I'll take you outside the city."
This was something that was agreed in advance, Rody didn't refuse, nodded and followed - Soderol and others followed the escort on both sides knowingly, but this journey that seemed to be coming to an end was interrupted by a slight sound completely broken...
