Advent of the Archmage Chapter 294: Necropolis (1) (1/4)
The buzzing sound of the "Buzzing" magical array, the Trench Flyer passed through dense clouds more than 5,000 meters high, and flew towards Delonga at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour.
It took less than an hour before and after taking off from the Field Wilderness and entering the depths of Delonga, after which the airship slowed down and began searching for the exact location of the Necropolis.
The information brought back by Fankonos mentions the existence of a Necropolis, but the exact location is not clear. It is only known to be in the central region of the Kingdom of Delonga. As for the news of the 30,000 Necromancers he got, it was speculated from the answers of the Necromancer captives captured on the battlefield, but it is only a conservative estimate.
It's not clear what's going on.
It's hard to find a job like this for the Job.
"Enable the detection of the magic circle ... and start searching for dark waves." Commander Morin commanded solemnly, completely different from the smile before.
A buzzer sounds a clear light and shadow in the air in the middle of the airship. The light and shadow records the specific conditions of the ground below the airship, forests, roads, bridges, villages, and pedestrians on the road. Even the expressions on the faces of pedestrians can be seen clearly.
‘Drop ~ Drop ~ Drop ~’ Every 2 seconds, a blue ripple sweeps through the entire image, and all life in the image will show a specific halo.
The halo on ordinary people is very light. According to different physical attributes, it shows the brightness of various basic elements, blue, blue, white, etc. These are normal.
About two minutes later, a team of knights exuding thin black gas suddenly appeared in the image. These knights were about 13 people, wearing armor, and looked at them suddenly, the appearance looked no different from ordinary people, but If you look closely, you can see that their eyes are bleak, their skin is dim, and their armor is the standard armor of the Kingdom of Delonga, but the runes on the armor are all evil dark runes.
"It's a necromancer. They mask their breath in a special way and camouflage their appearance. Here is the war zone. They appear here ... Oh, they're captive ordinary people!" /
These knights ran directly to a village, and they dispersed after they arrived, blocking the exits of the village, and then a few knights entered the village, not knowing what to say. All the villagers were gathered and driven away by the mighty Necromancers.
These villagers are of all ages. They do not know their fate, but this does not prevent them from feeling scared. Some women cry and some young people try to escape.
But these are in vain. A young man who escaped was caught by the necromancer, cut off his hands and feet, and then did not kill him. He just threw it on the ground and screamed.
This trick frightened all the villagers and cried even more, but no one tried to escape.
"These ordinary people are either sacrificed or transformed into undead warriors. Do we want to save people?" Maureen asked.
Joseph Templar Joseph said without hesitation: "Of course you have to save, but you need to catch a few Necromancers to ask for directions."
Princess Mirda immediately stopped and said, "I don't think it's better to do anything. These Necromancers have a spiritual connection with Vivell. When they get into trouble, Vivell reacts immediately, so our sneak attack plan is exposed in advance. "
This time they were a surprise attack. The more suddenly, the faster, the higher the success rate.
Joseph opened his mouth and tried to refute, but he finally sighed and stopped talking.
To save people now, it is indeed a big loss, but just watching these villagers step into the abyss of darkness and despair is against the teachings of the temple.
Linke comforted: "Don't worry too much, we just have to defeat Veville before these Necromancers return to Necropolis, and these villagers will be saved."
The people in the temple nodded, but everyone looked heavy.
Linke said to Molin again: "We need to speed up, Veville's power is growing rapidly!"
Moline nodded and killed the pilot of the airship on the side: "Extend the detection range to 50 kilometers, use the magic of blur detection!"
The image suddenly began to expand, and no longer showed the specific appearance, only the general breath flow direction, these breaths are colorful, but also constantly flowing, it looks like a weather cloud on the ground.
Flying about 100 kilometers forward, Molin pointed at a large dark spot in the image: "Looking at this forest, their dark breath concentration is about 5% higher than the surrounding area, there must be something inside!"
After speaking, he gestured to the driver. The little man operated the magic array in front of his lower body. The image suddenly changed from blur to clear, showing a dense southern forest.
Just glancing at it, Joseph the Templar said, "This forest is abnormal, it's too dark, and there are very few birds and beasts!"
The images are constantly changing. After a while, Link suddenly says, "Stop, look at this area!"
The image stops immediately, and a thick mist appears in the picture. These mists float over the entire forest, covering at least tens of thousands of acres of woodland, and people cannot see what is inside.
Here is the poisonous mist forest in Delonga. The forest is full of radon and white fog is normal. In fact, a lot of mist has already appeared in the image just now, but the white mist in front of it is extremely dense, exceeding the limit of natural molding.
"Can you scan the breath of this area?" Link asked Moline.
"Of course." Maureen snapped his fingers, and the whole area suddenly became the previous breath flow diagram.
But it is strange that in this picture, this white fog area does not show any abnormal breath fluctuations, it seems to be perfectly integrated with the surrounding forest.
"Nothing abnormal," Romson whispered softly.
"No, there is no abnormality is the biggest abnormality. As we have just seen, this white mist area and its surroundings are much denser. The atmosphere of these foggy areas is full of dense life toxins. This misty area The same is true. According to common sense, it has a thicker mist and a higher concentration of life toxins. It is exactly the same now! "
"Someone deliberately disguised!" Milda said.
"Can you see through the mist, Maureen?" Link asked again.
Moline shrugged his shoulders: "This can't be done, you know, we are 30 kilometers away from them, showing that the specific image is already the limit."
"Then we can only go down to see it for ourselves. The mist in the forest is full of natural toxins, and the intermediate antidote can fight it. Well, Molin, find a place to let us go, you do n’t come too close, wait for us outside That's it. "
"No problem."
The combat airship began to descend. When it reached a height of more than 300 meters, it hovered down, the hatch opened, and the people in the cabin began to jump down one by one. When the Templars jumped, Link gave each Everyone applied a levitation technique, and then Romson's turn.
This kid is really afraid of heights. He shivered as he climbed the airship door, but he didn't dare to go down.
"Your Highness Princess, Link, the two of you jump first, I'm brewing my emotions."
"Coward!" Milda was so dissatisfied that she walked behind him and kicked him brutally on his ass, and Romson fell screaming.
Linke released him a levitation technique in time. Otherwise, with his current state of mind, he might become the first magician to die in history.
After playing, Mirda smiled at Link: "He can brew for a lifetime, so someone must push him."
After speaking, she also jumped out of the airship, leaving Link in the end.
The two great priests are in charge of healing the injuries, so instead of participating in the battle, they stay in the airship as a backup.
At this time, a priest came over and handed a palm-sized white statue to Link: "Master Link, this is a statue of Saint Raphael, which has been dedicated to the Constance Cathedral in Hot Springs. With over 200 years of history, I have given it to you, Archbishop Trollto, which contains the Holy Power up to level 9. You take it just in case, but I hope not to use it. "
Linke took the Holy Eagle: "I see, thank you!"
This is the equivalent of a life-saving hole card.
Careful collection of the Holy Eagle, Link also jumped off the airship.
In order to maintain the concealment of the airship, everyone's landing point was outside the forest. After the Links landed, the airship immediately rose and quickly returned to the altitude of more than 5,000 meters and hid.
"Okay, keep monitoring the forest and be ready to support!" Morin ordered.
Ground.
Linke and others landed one after another, including Nana. There were 14 people in total, and they soon got together.
Looking at the surroundings, he only saw tall beech trees all around. The huge canopy blocked the sunlight, and the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves. The puddles and swamps were everywhere. The rotten scent was wafting, and the whole forest was filled with a dark, humid, rotten atmosphere.
"Oh, this **** mosquito!" Romulus suddenly slaps himself, and when he takes it away, everyone sees a huge mosquito mosquito corpse on his face, and then his Zhang Jun A large, red and swollen thumb appeared on the face at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Itchy and painful, reaching out to scratch, but dare not force, Romson almost cried.
Later, other people in the team were attacked by insects in the forest, and the team became a little messy at the beginning.
This situation is somewhat unexpected. To make matters worse, all the northerners here have no experience in fighting in the forests of the south, so they are very unprepared.
At this time, the most chic is Nana. No worm can bite her metal shell. She looks strange to everyone's wolverine. Turn her head and ask Link: "Master, please put the worm in the removal plan. Right? "
"..... no need." Link was speechless, Nana was a militant, not even a bug.
A few minutes later, Mirda was also bitten by a mosquito on her neck. She simply took out the elf flower drink and drank it. This holy medicine was used to treat mosquito bites. It was really a cannon hitting mosquitoes.
Walking for a while, Link suddenly shot, a whistle issued, ‘bang’ a black-striped snake was knocked out of the deciduous bush.
Linke walked up, very skilled in peeling cramps, and then plucked out the snake gall.
"What's the use of this?" Luo Musen asked.
"This snake usually stays to catch insects for food. It is the natural enemies of these mosquitoes. The smell of snake gall can effectively repel insects." Link said, Lin Ke pinches the snake gall and uses another wind magic. The snake gallbladder liquid was blown into a mist, and the mist gently passed over everyone.
This knowledge comes from a book by Lin Ke, which details the survival experience in the southern jungle, which comes in handy at this time.
Sure enough, after the smell of the black snake was shrouded, the frequency of insect bites was greatly reduced, and everyone was relieved. Otherwise, mosquitoes would buzz around all day, and they would be killed in battle.
Afterwards, Templar Joseph walked all the way, Link followed the way behind him, and walked for more than a kilometer. The mist in the front suddenly thickened, and a slightly spicy air appeared in the air. Smelly.
"We reached the radon zone and drank the intermediate antidote." Link took out a bottle of emerald green potion, which was taken from Glensea, and the effect was very good.
Everyone also started to drink. As the most powerful warrior, Joseph remained vigilant when he took the potion. He looked around and guarded everything around him.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed at a high speed in the corner of his eye, and he was shocked in his heart, a smoldering light potion, and pulled out the Holy Cross sword swiftly.
"Be careful, we are afraid that we will be caught by the dead!"
At the same time, information in Link's vision began to flash.
