Act 156 Tablets of War: Dragon Skin II
Where Brando's finger pointed, a pale golden beam of light braided from the center of the valley rose into the sky. Because the color of this light beam was so light that it almost blended into the sky a few miles away, they had not noticed it at all before. Now they could clearly see the existence of this light beam with the help of the green background of the valley. . Brando and Bai Jia looked at each other and instantly understood what it was: "Fragments of rules——"
"I didn't expect that the rule fragments near Fatan City would also fall here," Bai Jia said with some excitement: "Because ordinary players regard the knowledge slate as much more important than the rule fragments. Only big forces will care about this kind of thing, so Very few people know the exact location of the first batch of rule fragments." Her implication was that she was lucky and made a lot of money this time.
In the game, rule fragments have little effect on individual players, but they are extremely important to a force. Its most basic function is to raise an artificial sun in the eternal night. Holding it means that you can build a completely independent country, because in the next era, many refugees who are forced to live will come to you. This It's the stuff of careerists' dreams.
As the count of Tonigel, Brando's importance to him is of course self-evident. He originally planned to go to the Mehotofen area to find the rule fragments, because he knew the detailed location of a rule fragment there. I didn't expect that luck would be so good, and it would take no effort at all.
The location where the war slate fell is at the bottom of the valley. Clusters of white ruins stand between the dense oak forests. These marble buildings must have been majestic palaces in the past, but now only broken walls remain. It also exists among the dense jungle and offers a glimpse into the past. Brando pushed away the thick aerial roots, and all kinds of unnamed insects scattered densely from the disturbed tree trunk. It makes one's scalp tingle just looking at it. However, neither Brando nor Senior Bai Jia cared about it. The latter casually slapped a spider off his shoulder and looked at the two huge rocks that appeared after the dense aerial roots were separated. The surfaces of the two blue-gray giant rocks were covered with mottled Moss overlaps not far ahead, like an arch. There is a deep place under the arch. An oak tree that has grown for unknown ages is coiled on the top of the rock. Its intricate root system hangs down from the rock, firmly fixing the two rocks together.
There was silence in the forest. The five people left the jungle one after another and came under the two huge rocks. Bai Jia took out the rosin torch from his backpack and lit it, then raised it high. The dancing flames immediately drew different shades on the uneven surface of the rocks. Two of the shadows formed an interlaced 'x' shape. That was because someone left two deep carvings there.
She glanced there. He took back the torch and replied, "This is it."
As he said that, he took the lead and walked into the depths. Brando looked around, and then followed closely, followed by Hipamila holding a shepherd's staff. As a devout believer of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, of course she could not The tokens of the gods are always exposed, which are usually wrapped in cloth and carried on her back. Morpheus seems to like this dark environment very much,
He narrowed his eyes slightly in comfort. Andrique, who was at the back, wrinkled her nose and looked reluctant. I lifted my skirt for fear of catching something dirty.
The firelight followed the footsteps, and the darkness faded away. Not long after everyone walked, a wall was reflected in front of them, or rather it was not a wall, but a thick stone arch. There are several symbols on the stone door, all of which are ancient Cruz characters. From top to bottom, they represent sunlight, air and life respectively. These are the three powers of the sun god Perkin. Sir Lawson is a devout Perkin believer. He was even considered a saint, so his bones could be placed in the tomb of the Perkin Temple.
Bai Jia stopped in front of the door, fixed the torch on the torch stand beside the door, turned around and said to the other people: "This is a magic door. It requires three Perkin disciples to inject magic power to open it. We There are no followers of the Sun God here, but Perkin is Martha's god, so other priests from the god can also be substituted. Miss Hipamilla, you can be counted as one. Mr. Count, Andrigue and Morde and I The two of Fes are treated as one, but fortunately, everyone here can use magic."
"What should I do, Lady Nymesis?" Hipamila asked.
"Just put your hand on the door, and then chant the spell to cast the 'Magic Mark' spell." Brando replied, this is what the so-called injecting magic in the game means. Magic Mark is the most basic of all schools of magic. Magic, it does not enter the ring, but every magic school has this basic spell in the magic. This spell can be used to identify magic items (just to identify whether there is a magic reaction). Although the magic marks of each school operate in similar ways, But the effects are almost the same.
"Come in groups," Bai Jia reminded again: "Xipamilla, you come first."
The priestess nodded, stepped forward, put her hand on the door, and recited a mantra. After a while, the rune representing the sun on the top of the door lit up, flashing in the dim light. Pale golden light. Brando and Bai Jia looked at each other and put their hands on the stone door together. When they injected magic power, the blue air runes also lit up.
Finally, there were Andrigue and Morpheus. After the 'siblings' finished reciting the incantation, the red runes of life lit up, and the stone door vibrated with a creaking sound, and then slowly sank to the ground. Go, the dust on it falls straight down, and a dark space is quickly revealed behind it. Before everyone could see clearly, a withered hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness and grabbed the sinking stone door with a snap. After that, two scarlet fire lights lit up, and a burning eye appeared in the eye socket. A skull with two balls of red soul fire.
The undead use soul fire to distinguish the strength of their souls. In Madara, most of the lowest-level undead - including newly resurrected skeletons and zombies - have pale and almost transparent soul fire. As they gradually become stronger, The color of the soul fire will change from light to dark, and finally turn into colors such as orange, red, blue or even purple. The soul fire beating in the eyes of the skeleton in front of him has turned deep red, indicating that it is at least a monster of the Skeleton Knight level.
The Skeleton Knight and the Great Corpse Witch were placed when Brando escaped from Butchi. Meeting one would probably be enough to frighten him, but now, it was far from enough for him to see - it was just a skeleton of peak silver. Before Brando had time to take action, Morpheus suddenly reached out and pointed: "The Realm of Eternal Death!" The skeleton and the dozens of skeletons behind it that were about to rush out suddenly seemed to be under a restraining spell, with red light in their eyes. It flashed slightly, and then stayed there motionless.
"Turn around." Morpheus said in a commanding tone: "Open the way!"
Several skeletons turned around without hesitation and walked toward the darkness. At this time, the stone door had completely sunk into the ground. Only then did Brando see clearly that each of these skeletons were covered in rusty armor— —It is indeed the Skeleton Knight. He glanced at Morpheus. Morpheus's method of controlling these undead did not come from the Dead Moon Knights, but his natural ability as a high-level undead creature. Of course, this ability was only effective for undead that were weaker than him. , although the Vampire Lady is much weaker after the deck reconstruction. But he still had the strength of a low-ranking gold player, and it was more than enough to control a few skeletons at the peak of silver.
"These undead have not been transformed for a long time," Bai Jia watched the skeletons leave and suddenly said: "It should be caused by the tide of magic. Most of the corpses parked in this tomb were Perkin's knights and saints during their lifetime. It has a certain strength, so it can transform such a powerful undead."
Brando nodded, although these skeleton knights could not pose a threat to them. But this is the entrance to the tomb. There are such powerful undead souls. Who knows what will be inside. This is like a dungeon. The soldiers at the entrance of the dungeon are all level 30 or 50. What level are the elites in the dungeon, and what level is the boss? Said: "Medphis, you control these ribs and move forward." Andrigg, protect Hipamira, senior sister...Miss Nimesis, come to me. "
Among the five people, Morpheus and Andrigo are undead themselves, and have a natural protective layer in places where the undead are crowded. As a priest, Hipamira has the same problem of insufficient combat effectiveness as most priests. Although the priests of the Earth Goddess are relatively combat-oriented among the priests, this is only because of the horizontal comparison among the many priests who have no power to bind chickens. They are still far behind the full-time knights, especially the Knights of the Dead Moon. An offense-oriented profession. In terms of strength alone, Nimesis is probably the worst person among them. Although the female knight is close to the manifestation of elements, she is good at swordsmanship, while the senior sister is good at spells. There is a big difference here. Yes, it's impossible to get used to it all at once.
As expected by Bai Jia, the storm set off by the great demon tide on the sea of magic has profoundly changed this place. As the magic surrounding the elemental barrier began to become violent, the power of the demon moon also increased a thousand times. The first impact on the continent was that the magic that permeated the entire world became richer and stronger. As a result, a large number of animals and plants were invaded by magic and transformed into monsters. The same was true for corpses. The chance of wild undead appearing increased exponentially.
In a place like a tomb surrounded by dark magic, the influence is even more obvious——
After entering the stone door, there was first a long stone staircase that went deep into the ground. Then the five people entered a dark and vast cellar. The carvings on the walls, columns, caves and ceilings of the cellar could be vaguely seen on the ground. The shadow of the ruins seems to be a building from the same period, but there is a layer of white mist in the cellar, and the air is filled with the smell of decay. Bai Jia held a torch and walked through a cellar where a large number of coffins were displayed. Wherever the light of the torch could shine, there were thick spider webs. Occasionally, fist-sized spiders could be seen in the shadows of the stone slabs and wooden shelves. Flashed by.
They were first greeted by more than a dozen skeleton knights, but after one encounter, Andrieg controlled most of them. Then the vampire twins ordered their skeleton knights to turn their spears and chop their own kind into pieces. Then as they continued to go deeper, undead souls such as mummies and ghouls began to appear in the tomb. Brando even encountered a demon lord. This thing was an undead creature at the peak of gold, and its strength was not inferior to that of what he once did. Fir Castle killed the skeleton lord Kabasi. In front of these powerful undead creatures, Andrigg and Morpheus's younger brothers were quickly exhausted. However, the demon lord was killed by Bran in just one encounter. Use the sword of earth to pierce the soul fire and nail it to a pillar.
The Demon Lord seemed to be a mini-boss or something like that. After his death, he left a dark crystal on the ground. Brando picked it up and looked at it, and then his face lit up with joy.
"This is it." Bai Jia saw the crystal in Brando's hand. His eyes also lit up.
"This is a crystal infused with magic. It's a very precious thing." Morpheus also praised it: "I don't know what kind of magic is infused in it."
Brando raised the crystal under the firelight and nodded. This is the magic-infused crystal. It is actually a kind of magic scroll, but it is made of the soul crystal of the undead. As everyone knows. Most monsters leave behind magic crystals after death, and the undead are no exception. The crystals left behind by the undead are soul crystals. Gray soul crystals have no effect on most wizards and alchemists, but priests and necromancers can use them. Use them to store magic or refine high-level undead like ghosts.
The soul crystal that stores divine magic is the magic-infused crystal. Its appearance is different from the gray of ordinary soul crystals but black. Although the magic-infused crystal has the same effect as the scroll, it is a disposable item, but it is more powerful. It can greatly increase the strength and penetration of stored spells, increase the level of the caster, and is easier to activate, without being as cumbersome as using a scroll. This kind of thing is very precious even in Madara, because there are not many people who can make it, and the success rate is even lower. In addition, soul crystal is a precious material for making high-level undead, so few people have such luxury. Waste to make this disposable item.
For this reason. Generally, the magical level stored in the magic crystal will not be low.
Brando quickly figured out through his 'system' what the magic-infused crystal in his hand was: "Soul Spike Magic Crystal."
"Nine-ring magic!" Bai Jia's eyes were even more amazed: "Brando, you are lucky... No, this is not a magic." She suddenly realized. "This is black magic. Necromantic witchcraft." Brando said. The soul spike is a very vicious black magic. It can bypass most magic defenses and directly attack the human soul. The most powerful thing about this spell is that even if Your will is amazingly resistant to most magical effects, and it leaves a mark on your soul. As long as you are weak for a moment, it will wait for an opportunity to launch a second attack, making you unprepared. He subconsciously looked at the corpse of the demon lord - of course the undead here were not generated out of thin air, but were transformed from the original corpse in the tomb. Judging from the strength of this undead. The owner of this corpse should have been a Templar at least.
Senior Sister Bai Jia had already reacted first. She walked over to the completely dead soul and tore off a piece of cloth from its putrid body: "This is the Holy Body Shroud. This person was at least a human being during his lifetime. Saint, it’s strange, Perkin’s followers are the mortal enemies of the undead, how come they have soul crystals infused with black magic?”
"Since this man is a follower of Perkin and is also a saint, he must have fought against many undead before his death. Perhaps this is a trophy he left behind when he killed a certain necromancer during his lifetime?" Hipamilla thought. After thinking about it, he replied.
It seemed that this was the only reason that made sense. Brando nodded and reluctantly accepted the statement. However, he looked at the dark crystal in his hand and felt that it was a bit unreliable. Would a follower of Perkin carry this evil thing with him or her into his own tomb? He put aside this idea for the time being. The road in the tomb had come to an end here. There was a closed door behind the body of the demon lord. He motioned to Morpheus and Andrigg to open the door, and with a squeak, With a dull creaking sound, a small circular hall appeared in front of the five people.
A beam of sunlight shot down from the top of the small hall, which was particularly eye-catching in the pitch-black underground. Only then did everyone notice that there was a big hole above the arc-shaped vault of the small hall, as if something fell tilted from there and penetrated the ceiling. Brando immediately realized what caused this scene. He turned his vision and found what he was looking for in the middle of the messy hall.
It was a square metal plate that shone with a faint silver light, rising and falling in the sunlight, suspended in mid-air and rotating slightly, as if it was quietly waiting for its first owner to arrive.
War slate!
