Chapter 83 Lich's Nest(1/2)

Although on the surface, the Santalin Society's occupation forces were more like the biggest threat to the Shadow Valley, in addition to this, there are still many sinister enemies hidden in the darkness of the valley.

Under the Twisted Tower, the Drow elves who allied with the Santalin Conqueror were planning to eliminate all the elves of Comanso's elves.

On the wilderness of Shadow Valley, for the glory of the Lost Lady, the ancient wizard Arokar and the high-ranking priestess Aesville are secretly weakening the destruction of the magic net itself.

At this moment, with the Shadow Valley subdued, the Black Hope Legion led by Sailuer was repelled by the Elf Expeditionary Force and the Valley armed forces. The forces here of the Santalin Association have basically been cleared.

Those mice hidden in the dark will soon be caught by all the scouts of the Harpist Alliance.

Brian knew that in this case, if Shadow Valley wants to usher in permanent peace and repair the scars of the Magic Net, the only things that need to be dealt with are the forces of the Drow Elves and the Shar Church.

Therefore, in order to prevent the expansion of the demon net scars as soon as possible and prevent the possibility of the ghost princes from making a comeback, they must divide their troops into two groups and completely eliminate the remaining forces at the fastest speed.

So, while Azara, Seville and others rushed to the Twisted Tower and went deep into the underground world to deal with the Drow Elves, Brian and the ghost prince Brenas also set out towards the Lich's nest.

Brian is still a little clearer about the information about the wizard Arokal.

As a fish that survived the Neseriel period, before the magic net collapsed, she was launched by her daughters and seized control of the floating city.

Arokar, who survived by chance, used dark rituals to preserve his existence and transformed it into a lich when the cold claws of the god of death approached.

After achieving immortality, Arokar soon lost his perception of time. Like many lichs, she began to indulge in the knowledge and power of magic, which, in her opinion, was for one day's restoration.

Who would have thought that Arokar had not yet found a chance to revenge, and the Naseril Empire was destroyed, and even the floating city he was eager to take back crashed.

In this way, she began to become indifferent to living creatures, longing for the anecdotes and knowledge that had been lost in the long river of time.

Time flies, and the world changes.

Ten years ago, the followers of Lost Lady found the Lich and provided her with knowledge about Shadow Magic Network, thus forming ally with her.

Priestess Aisville Grayburg even introduced her to the great prince of the Ghost City, Rivalan Tanshul, to provide Arokar with the knowledge and secrets kept by the Ghost City.

In exchange, Arokal agreed to Aesville to build a temple of the Lost Lady in her ancient lair and promise any assistance in the revenge of the magic goddess Mistera and her elect.

At the same time, Arokar, a friend of the Drow Elves Marymoda family for many years, also opened a long-sealed road to the depths of the underground for Shar's believers.

This allows Shahr's believers to move in and out of the sight of the residents of Shadow Valley.

It was she who covered the preparations for the Ilminster attack and provided magical support for the rituals of the Reverend Shael to destroy the magic net. Therefore, Arokar played a very important role in the fall of Shadow Valley.

After the occupation began, Arokar continued to guard the magic net unwoven ceremony.

The lich were deeply fascinated by the ghosts and their magic, especially the fact that they shared the secrets of the Lost Lady.

Although Arokar once spent a lot of time with the Shadow Magic Network mentors of the City of Ghost City secretly communicated and shared their books and knowledge in private.

But in her personal position, the ghost prince Revalan was eager to provide any possible assistance to Aisville and Arokar to quickly complete the unwoven ceremony.

Arokar hopes to confirm whether such a ritual can be copied in a wider place and erased the magic net on a larger scale, so that the ruling power of the ghost on the earth can be established and the authority among the Shar believers.

It is also worth mentioning that as descendants of Neseril, the relationship between the ghost princes and Arokar is not as harmonious as imagined. They both look down on each other and even think that the other party is just a minion who achieves their goals.

The wizard Arokar's nest is located in a vegetation crack, roughly in the center of the ruins of Old Skull Mountain and the Severe City.

The ridge is a short limestone hill with very severe weathering, with countless caves, cellars and deep trenches distributed on it, the largest of which leads to Arokar's residence.

After climbing a short distance between the dense vegetation of the hills along the forest path, Brian and Prince Ghost climbed a not-so-long distance, they finally found a deep trench in the place covered by the messy bushes and damp soil.

Deep in the trench, they saw a thick double-sided stone door with a rusty iron door knocker on it, and a huge rusty door lock hung on it.

Brian could see that although the huge door lock was tortured by wind and frost and dew, it still did not lose its original magical effect.

On the door, you can also identify a special symbol under the cover of rust: three spiral lines are rotating and spreading, and to their right, another cave full of soil and gravel winds into the depths of the mountain belly.

"I've been here once, but for other reasons, I haven't gone too deep." The ghost prince Brenas looked at the rusty magic lock in the lich's nest and said, "This is the only entrance I know to the depths of the underground tomb."

He thought for a moment, then reached out and pointed his hand at the lock.

The soft magic halo wrapped the door lock, accompanied by a slight sound similar to the release of the snap, the lock automatically fell off and slowly fell to the ground without making a sound.

Immediately afterwards, the barrier covering the door disappeared, and through the gaps in the door, you could vaguely see the dark orange fire leaping inside.

"Be careful," Brenas reminded: "If I expected it would be right, the one who guarded the door should be a demon. Once it was discovered, it would be very likely to sound the alarm system of the entire nest."

Brian nodded slightly, locked the position in the crack of the door, added advanced invisibility to himself, and then appeared inside the gate through teleportation spell.

He has entered many lich's underground palaces and nests. Just like the wizard towers of spellcasters, the lich's nests are also full of dangers. When facing the enemies they are about to encounter, the owner of the nest will usually deliberately put the enemies into the nest, and then use the traps inside to hide in the dark to deal with them.

After seeing the ghost prince following him like that, Brian looked at the surrounding environment carefully.

The lich's nest, as Brenas said, is an underground mausoleum, two dim torches that provide faint lighting for the large room, and in the niches on the surrounding walls are some roughly crafted sarcophagus.

Two pillars support the ceiling up to 15 meters high. On the wall to the south, there was a sarcophagus in a niche that was removed. A deep and dark passage, about half a person high, was blocked by the sarcophagus that crossed.

On the east side of the room is a big stone door with two silences. In the northeast corner, there seems to be a shadow lurking next to the pillar.

"Arokal has always maintained a good guard at the front door of her nest, attracting all kinds of monsters through food and treasure to do this."

Brenas obviously noticed the lurking shadow, and used his soul to transmit his voice to Brian, "Obviously, she has not replaced the new guard."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and the monster hiding in the shadow suddenly realized the danger and was about to turn around and escape, but unfortunately it was too late, and he was fixed in place by Brenas' monster fixation technique.

Brian saw a monster who looked like a ghoul but was stronger and smarter than a ghoul, appearing motionless in his sight.

This is not a ghoul, but an advanced form of a ghoul: a demon.

Demons are stronger and more cruel than zombies. If the ghouls have defects in IQ, then their advanced form will at least possess the cunning of adult humans.

The demons with high IQ sometimes devote themselves to evil gods or follow the demon lord Ozons to gain the priest's casting ability.

And the demon in front of him is obviously the lost lady Shar.

Brian did not waste time. During the short period of time when Brenas fixed the demon, he immediately took the opportunity to release the dissociation technique and let it disappear without a trace.

After getting rid of the demon guards, the two of them passed through an arch-shaped passage about 50 meters long behind the stone gate and came to a double leaf gate.

On both sides of the passage are long oil paintings depicting creatures such as griffins and chimera, but the murals look very old and fall off in many places.

Seeing Brenas beside him, he was seriously looking at the murals and using the magic of prophecy from time to time, causing the ancient murals to flash a faint milky white inspiration. Brian did not urge him, but waited patiently.

As a file scholar, no spellcaster is better at exploring ancient ruins or ancient tombs than him.

Because the knowledge mastered by file scholars can allow them to easily understand its long past and the causes of its formation based on the arrangement of the mausoleum and the traces left behind.

"This mausoleum once belonged to a valley lord." A moment later, Brenas retracted his gaze from the wall and said to Bryan, "Maybe we can find this former lord and get from him how to safely enter the depths of the mausoleum."

"So, the owner of the tomb has been transformed into an undead creature." Brian did not ask how the other party knew this information, but asked another question.

"Yes." Brenas looked up at the ceiling and looked around thoughtfully, "I can feel the breath of the owner of the tomb, and I am still active here."

"Then lead the way." Brian agreed with his suggestion.

Under the leadership of Brenas, they pushed open the Shuangyemen, avoided the two patrol ghouls and a team of spirit-binding spirits, and a team of flame-burning skulls. They came to a relatively spacious hall without any danger.

The walls of this hall were covered with gray-white plaster, and as time passed, they had decayed to nearly black colors.

The ceiling of the room is very high, and you can only see the dark shadows at first glance.

Brian, who was invisible, keenly noticed that above his head, there were two gargoyles composed of pure flesh and blood and unknown stone sculptures, lurking in the winding space above, monitoring the entire hall.

They are very well hidden in the dark. One of the gargoyles holds a crossbow with a cold light, and the energy of the fire element surges in the body of the other gargoyles. They should be mastering some fire-like spell-like abilities.

The two of them ignored these gargoyles, but with the help of magic, they silently walked towards a dark corridor southeast of the hall.

After arriving at the destination, Brenas stood there and pondered for a moment, resolutely chose the second room on his left and opened the door and entered.

Seeing this, Brian followed closely.

In the decaying room, all kinds of rusty ancient weapons were hung on the walls and displayed one by one. On both sides of the doors on the south and east, there were a complete set of human-shaped armor, placed on wooden bases.

"This should be the spoils seized by the former Lord of the Valley." Brenas expressed his guess, "I can feel that this is the place with the strongest breath of the Lord of the Valley, but why did he not find the undead creature he transformed into."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "It should have been transformed into a terrifying armor." Brian saw the clues and his eyes were fixed on a set of armor piled up into adults.

Although this set of armor has lost its luster, it is still full of deterrence. It stands upright like a guard, holding the cold long sword tightly in the armored gloves.

Brian's expression moved, waved his hand gently, and cast the Dead Detective Spell.

Accompanied by a magical light, a strange purple glow revealed from the gaps in the armor.

Before this transformed undead creature could escape, it was fixed in place by the magical arts released by Brenas who had reacted.

"Don't do it." Brenas stopped Brian from bombing him and said, "Let me try it."

Brenas immediately took out a prayer book that he used to record divine arts, whispered the obscure magic spell quickly, and pointed his hand at the fear armor that was about to escape from the immobilization technique.

A divine light flashed by, covering the armor of fear.

Immediately afterwards, the undead creature immediately launched a fierce confrontation, and the purple light suddenly surged out of its body, constantly suppressing the milky white light that spread throughout its body.

Looking at the white light that was about to be suppressed and the difficulty of Brenas beside him, Brian did not hesitate to use his spiritual power to suppress the resistance of the fear armor by shocking his soul.

This effect is obviously very good.

Gradually, with the suppression of the soul, the strange purple light inside the terrifying armor was gradually replaced by soft white light, until a translucent human soul slowly rose from the gap in the armor and disintegrated on the spot.

The ancient armor suddenly scattered on the ground, making a faint clanging sound.

"I didn't expect his will to be so strong. Fortunately, your spiritual power suppresses him, otherwise I really don't know how to end it." The ghost prince breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Brian with a smile:

"This is a soul purification technique that can free those creatures that have been forcibly transformed into undead, and I can take this opportunity to ask them for some relevant information."

After saying that, he told Brian in detail about the tomb.
