Chapter 314 Language! (Part 2)

On the back of the hill at the end of Forest Mountain Park, in a very hidden narrow cave, Schiller bent down and went into the narrow cave entrance, and the inside was suddenly bright.

It was a naturally formed cave at the foot of the mountain, but the natural landscape inside had been transformed. There were tool tables and shelves on the left, and some messy instruments on the right. A light bulb was hung on the top of the small cave, and there were spotlights for lighting next to it.

Peter, who was walking in front, took off his hood and introduced to the others: "I don't know when I started to have this idea. I think it would be a good idea to find a cave as my base. This is indeed a good place. It's not far from my home, which is convenient for me to change clothes at any time, and it's very hidden."

"Indeed." Steve nodded. He looked up and looked around the cave and said, "But I think you need to strengthen the structure here. The mountains in New York are not that strong."

"That's the next plan." Peter said while helping Steve subdue the black sleeping bag he was dragging. The sleeping bag was still struggling, and black smoke came out from time to time.

Strange stood behind the men with his hands on his hips, staring at the sleeping bag and said, "This thing is a little too weak."

"It doesn't seem to be born for fighting." Steve threw the sleeping bag to the ground, then frowned and said, "Just now, Peter and I didn't use even 30% of our strength, and its arm was broken."

Steve unzipped the sleeping bag, and inside was a skeleton with black air all over his body. Steve held the skeleton's neck with one hand and grabbed one of his ribs with the other hand and pulled it. The rib made a crisp sound when he broke it, and Peter shuddered.

After Strange and Schiller rushed to the scene where Peter found the skeleton, Steve went down to help Peter. The two of them subdued the skeleton together, and Strange opened a portal and returned to Kamar-Taj, bringing back a book about undead magic.

Schiller also walked over and studied the contents of the book with Strange. Facing an unfamiliar field, the four of them had no research. Schiller and Strange chose to start with theory, while Steve and Peter planned to conduct experiments directly.

Schiller found that the book in Strange's hand recorded many cases of necromancers. The mages of Kamar-Taj stopped many of these evil necromancers from invading villages and towns, and summarized a set of methods to fight against them.

Schiller read the book for a while, joined the experimental group again, looked at the skeleton and said, "Let me see... Adult female, about 50 years old, with a history of childbirth, the cause of death should be abdominal injury, initially suspected to be a car accident, the dominant hand is the right hand, and should have been engaged in light physical labor before, possibly a cleaner, or a kitchen assistant..."

Steve opened his mouth. He really wanted to ask Schiller how he judged it, but at this time, the atmosphere in the quiet cave was already weird enough, and there was no need for a few more horror stories to set off the atmosphere.

"We must collect more information about the dead as samples to determine what the necromancer's goal is. Since Peter encountered skeletons twice in the Forest Hill Cemetery, the mysterious necromancer's next target may still be here. You may need to wait here..." Schiller concluded. …

"No problem, the supplies in this base are sufficient. Even if they are not enough, I can buy them. The only thing that worries me is that my uncle and aunt live nearby. My aunt was scared by the ghost fire last time..." Peter said hesitantly.

The last thing he wanted to see was his family getting hurt. Steve squatted on the ground, turned his head and looked at Peter who was also squatting and said, "So, you just need to guard the source of danger. There won't be another cemetery nearby for him to do these supernatural events."

So, Steve and Peter stayed in the base to continue to squat on the necromancer who might attack again, while Schiller and Strange returned to Arkham Sanatorium. The two came out of the portal, and Schiller turned to ask Strange, "What do you think?"

"This matter may be more troublesome than imagined." Strange's face was a little serious. He said, "First of all, I can be sure that this power itself has the attributes of the dead, that is, the source of the power must be related to the dead. "It's related to death."

"Once you get involved in this concept, it will become particularly tricky. More importantly, I just tried to use the power of white magic to dispel this death force, but maybe I have been learning magic for too short a time..."

Strange looked at his hand, and a ray of white light suddenly appeared in his hand. He said: "This is the 'Wrath of White Magic' most commonly used by novice wizards. It comes from the ancient spirits of the stars on the edge of the eternal ruins. This power requires very little cost, which can be almost ignored, but at the same time, it is relatively weak, but the advantage is that it is easier to control..."

"When I used this power to dispel that dark power, I found that it didn't work at all, so I changed to another power..."

A brighter white light appeared in Strange's hand, surrounded by some flying leaves. He said, "This is the light power of the world tree closer to us. Although I don't know why this power is weaker than usual, it represents the light power of the world tree that represents vitality and rebirth. It should be able to dispel the power of darkness and death..."

"But it didn't work, right?"

"Yes, this means that the status of this power is not low, and it is not something that a novice wizard can deal with. Although I inherited some of the white magic power from Vishanti from my teacher Ancient One, I didn't use it easily."

Strange frowned. Frowning, he sat on the sofa and said, "Once two forces of opposite attributes but equally powerful collide, it may cause a very large fluctuation. Peter and Steve have no magic resistance and may not be able to withstand the impact."

"Then what are you going to do..."

"Well, after all, I am the heir of the Supreme Sorcerer. I can't watch an unknown force messing around in my territory and do nothing. I think we have to go to the cemetery again, find another experiment, and then find a place that is safe enough to do the experiment..."

Schiller thought about it, but still did not refute Strange's use of the word "we".

He turned his head to look at the umbrella next to his table. This was the new umbrella he brought from the DC world.

In order to get a powerful umbrella that will not be damaged and does not need to be replaced, Schiller felt that he had to make the cursed fetus trapped in the umbrella a little stronger and let it protect his umbrella. …

Although I don't know what the relationship between dark death and curse is, it sounds like their attributes are very similar and may be able to be fused.

So Schiller and Strange went to Forest Hill Cemetery again. Strange enchanted a compass, and they followed the direction of the compass to find a place with the most concentrated dark energy.

The environment of cemeteries in the United States is good, and so is Forest Hill Cemetery. It is part of Forest Hill Park. On weekends or holidays, many people even come to the cemetery to take a walk or rest on the lawn. However, the enchanted compass led the two to gradually leave the cemetery and walk deeper into the forest.

"This is not surprising. The necromancer also needs a hiding place. He can't build a house in the park, so he should be hiding in the forest." Strange speculated.

After saying that, he looked back at the umbrella in Schiller's hand and asked in confusion: "The snow has stopped, what are you doing with the umbrella?"

Schiller used the umbrella to push away the weeds around him, and the road was unobstructed, while Strange could only move his steps, letting the weeds scratch his expensive trouser legs and leather shoes. Schiller opened his hands to him, Strange curled his lips, turned around and continued to move forward.

"Although he may be hiding in the forest, don't you think we are walking a little too far?" After walking for about 20 minutes, Schiller stopped Strange and said.

"This should be far beyond the casting distance of your wizards, right? He can't hide in such a distant forest and cast a spell on the cemetery."

"I think it's very close." Strange raised the enchanted compass in his hand, and Schiller saw that the compass needle was shaking constantly, as if affected by an invisible mysterious force.

Suddenly, the pointer stopped, and Schiller and Strange turned their heads to look in that direction. There was a dense forest there. The dense leaves blocked all the light in the dark night, making it difficult to see what was behind it.

Strange's fingers glowed, and he wiped his eyes. With a flash of light, his pupils turned into vertical pupils like beasts. Obviously, he borrowed the power of night vision from some mysterious existence incarnated by beasts.

Schiller gave up vision, and the invisible gray fog factor drifted away. The whole world became an extremely clear three-dimensional model in his mind, which was much more accurate than what he saw with his eyes.

Strange and Schiller continued to walk into the woods, but after leaving the trail, it became a little difficult to move forward. The two walked for more than ten minutes for a short distance.

After they had completely entered the forest, Strange, who had walked in first, let out a cry of surprise. Schiller bent down to avoid the branches above his head. When he walked in, he saw a piece of scorched land in the middle of the forest surrounded by tall trees. There was a special mark left there, a bit like a miniature magic circle.

Strange stopped at the edge of the land and did not rush forward. Under Schiller's gaze, he slowly reached into his pocket and took out... his cell phone.

"Hello, Sanctuary? Yes, it's me, Stephen. I have a pattern here. It seems to be left by a demon who controls the power of death and darkness. You can broadcast it to the demon network in the universal frequency band to see if anyone knows who left it?"

The operator on the other end quickly replied: "The picture has been received, the cosmic signal has been sent, and there is no response at present. It is estimated that it may take about ten minutes..."

After Strange hung up the phone, he turned around and showed it to Schiller with some pride: "It can't be just us who help them, right?"

"Some of the power intercepted by the last Nar invasion was poured into the magic circle under the Sanctum Sanctorum by Ancient One. This magic circle can send magic broadcasts to the universe. The principle is similar to human broadcasts, but magic is more convenient. We don't need to use any signal towers or base stations..."

"So far, this function has only been used to summon demons to meetings or resolve some neighborhood disputes, but Nick told me that he intends to develop an entertainment radio program for the entire universe. He found several directors and screenwriters with proven moral standards in prison, and he will soon increase the schedule..."
