Lord Chronicle

Chapter 112 Meeting the Necromancer Again
Encouraged by the treasure, Sol's waist and legs no longer ached, and he was able to go up to the fifth floor in one breath... This journey was full of energy, and he walked briskly.With Chip lighting the torch to open the way, the group quickly came to the foot of the mountain.

This mountain looks very steep from a distance, but if you go up from the position of the "beast body" at the back, there is a slope for pedestrians, and the group of people climbed to their destination from here.

Needless to say Chip, Jeter and Lesta are both accustomed to mountain roads, and they climbed up very easily, but it was hard for our Sol.You must know that this mountain is not like a tourist attraction in this world. There are ready-made roads, so you really have to climb it with your legs, and he will soon be exhausted.

In order to find the treasure he dreamed of earlier, Sol simply called out Xiaomei, and shamelessly lay on her back, which made it much easier.For high-level monsters, it's easy to memorize someone.

Everyone continued to move forward. Just as Sol was hanging on Xiaomei's back like a koala, dreaming of getting rich, Chip, who was exploring the way ahead, stopped suddenly and made a gesture.

Without any hesitation, Lesta and Jet immediately extinguished the torches in their hands, and the surroundings immediately fell into darkness.Saul woke up with a start and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Shhh..." Chip signaled him not to speak, and under his motion, several people hid in the bushes beside him.

Soon the surroundings returned to silence, except for the chirping of insects mixed in the mountain wind, there was no sound at all.With the help of the faint starlight, Sol tried his best to look out, but found nothing.He opened his mouth to ask, but seeing Chip's face as if facing a formidable enemy, he swallowed the words back.

It didn't take long, and suddenly, there was a strange light sound from a hillside slightly below where the listeners were, and at the same time, the mountain wind that was blowing on the body just now was quite comfortable, and at this time there was a bit of chill.

Everyone present was very familiar with this feeling. After exchanging glances with each other, they all read a name from each other's eyes - Necromancer.

Sure enough, with a slight sound of footsteps, two mysterious people covered in shabby mage robes appeared in the sight of several people like ghosts.

They lowered their heads, their faces were covered by wide hoods, and their whole bodies were enveloped in a gloomy and chilly aura, appearing in this night-shrouded mountain range, which seemed extraordinarily strange.

There was hardly any difficulty, and the few people confirmed the identity of the other party, and there was no doubt that it was a necromancer.

What people don't understand is, how could the necromancer appear in such a remote mountain?And what a coincidence, just under the mountain of Kajirido's treasure that Sol was looking for?

Sol suddenly felt ridiculous, could it be... this is also caused by Lao Tzu's character?
At this time, the other party had stopped, and one of the necromancers looked around and said in a deep voice, "It's strange, the fire is gone."

It turned out that they came here following the torch, but fortunately they found it when Qipu was on the road, otherwise the two sides would collide head-on.Since the mountain wind was blowing all the time, the hiding place of Sol and the others was located in the downwind, so they were not afraid of being smelled by the other party.

Another necromancer pointed to the campfire on the opposite hillside and said, "There seem to be people over there. Could it be that they also came for the things on this mountain?"

After squinting for a moment, the first necromancer snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter, for safety's sake, there can't be a third person here. We found this place with great difficulty, and we must not make any mistakes."

Another necromancer said: "Cliff seems to be thinking about those things too, we must get them as soon as possible. After killing Kajirido, people didn't find that thing, and now it must be hidden here. "

Hearing this, Sol's heart moved slightly. It seemed that they were not for the treasure, but something inside.In connection with what Brevila said, are these necromancers also looking for that "key"?
Before Cagirido died, he handed over the key to Breville for safekeeping. Not many people knew about it. It seems that the two necromancers still think it is hidden in Cajirido's treasure.

At this moment, I couldn't care less about what secrets were hidden in that thing, which would attract powerful forces such as the Adventurer's Guild and the Necromancer Guild to scramble to snatch it.At this moment, Sol just wanted to strangle that stinking dragon of Bravella, didn't he mean that no one else knew the whereabouts of these treasures?

At this time, the first necromancer nodded and said: "The swordsman named Gru he sent is very strong. Fortunately, his perception is very poor, so he was easily fooled by our illusion. It seems that he can't find it here again. gone."

Sol was even more surprised. Judging from what the two said, it seemed that even Cliff knew about the existence of these treasures, and even sent Gru to look for them.However, judging from the Gosmed Snow Mountain incident, he didn't seem to know the existence of the key, but purely for the wealth in the treasure.

Fortunately, Gru was tricked by these two necromancers, and in a sense, he helped Sol. Otherwise, with that terrifying guy around, not to mention finding the treasure, even escaping would be a problem.

"No matter who the opponent is, everyone who is around here must be killed." While speaking, the two necromancers walked towards the bonfire on the opposite side of the mountain.

Only Lance stayed behind at the campsite. Of course, Sol couldn't let the two necromancers succeed.

Under his signal, Lesta raised the ax quietly, then jumped out with a loud shout.In any case, it was unexpected that there were other people hiding beside them, and the two necromancers were taken aback.

Just as the two turned their heads, Lesta, holding a battle ax in his hand, had already fallen from the sky.At this time, it was too late to dodge, and the necromancer who bore the brunt could only desperately lean his body away, and at the same time, he heard a light cracking sound, and his left hand was chopped off shoulder-to-shoulder.

The practice of necromancy can minimize the various sensory functions of the body, so even though the hand was cut off, the necromancer just groaned.His wound didn't even bleed, but a clear mucus oozes.

"Damn it..." The other necromancer reacted extremely quickly. Just as the severed hand that was slashed by Leesta fell to the ground, he had already gathered a cloud of black mist on his fingertips to fight back.

Of course the others would not allow him to succeed. Chip stood up from his hiding place and shot at the opponent with two throwing knives.Almost at the same time, Jeter also jumped out of the bushes and slashed at him with his sword.

Unexpectedly, he was hiding from other people, and the necromancer was taken aback.Before he could attack Lesta, he swiped the black mist from his fingertips across his chest, and the flying dagger had been bounced away by some kind of strange force.

Taking advantage of this moment of stupefaction, the necromancer whose hand was severed turned around and jumped down the hillside behind him.How could Lesta allow him to escape?Without even thinking about it, he followed suit.

At this time, Jeter, who was flying down, slashed at the remaining necromancer with his sword, but the moment the sword edge hit the opponent, the man's body shrouded in shadow shook slightly, and he disappeared.

"Huh?" With a sword slashing through the air, Jeter looked around in surprise.

"Go and help Lesta, leave this man to me." At this moment, Chip, who was chasing down the hillside, flashed past Jeter, and at the same time he left these words, he turned and chased to the left.

Jie Te nodded, held the sword and jumped down where Lesta was chasing.I have to say that these two necromancers are very powerful. Under the deliberate sneak attack of Sol and others, only one of them was seriously injured, and the other escaped.

The scene became quiet again. Chip and the others had chased to nowhere, and could only faintly hear a low cry from a distance.Only then did Sol emerge from his hiding place, his eyes flicking left and right.

After thinking about it, he decided to go out and have a look.Just about to get up, Suo Er suddenly felt a twitch in his heart, and said to Xiao Mei beside him: "You hide here, don't come out without my order."

Xiaomei obediently agreed, and shrank back.Thor took a deep breath, and then left the bushes and walked out.Where the battle took place just now, apart from a series of messy footprints, only the severed arm of the necromancer lay quietly on the ground.

Thor didn't have any interest in studying the body structure of necromancers, so he walked to the edge of the hillside and looked down.But the surrounding mountains were pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

He wasn't too worried about Chip's safety. No matter how powerful a magician was approached by soldiers, it would be difficult for him to show his strength.Besides, Chip is a master of stealth, and the current environment is suitable for him to play to his strengths.As for Lesta and Jeter, couldn't they deal with a mage with a severed hand?
At this moment, Sol was full of doubts. Where did the two necromancers know the location of the treasure of Kajirido?What were they looking for that key for?Besides them, does anyone else know about this place... Now he just hoped that Chip or Lesta could be caught alive and ask them clearly.

Just when he was lost in thought, a cold breath suddenly came from behind him.Surprised, Thor turned his head quickly, and a necromancer quietly approached behind him at some point.

******************************************************************************
Unexpectedly, the other party was able to get rid of Chip's pursuit. Sol was left alone at this moment, and he couldn't help taking a few steps back.

"Ahaha, it's such a beautiful night, you also come out for a walk?" Sol was thinking of countermeasures while talking nonsense to delay time.

The other party was silent, and only took two steps slowly.Suddenly, he was full of surprise and said, "It's you!?"

"Huh?" Saul was surprised, why do we know each other?
Taking off the hood, the necromancer revealed his face.At this time, on a terrifying face that was no different from a skeleton, his eyes shot out deep hatred: "As expected, you are behind the scenes."

To be honest, in Saul's eyes, these guys all look alike, so he can't tell who is who.But the other party's resentment quickly reminded him of someone: "Are you that guy from the capital?"

Standing in front of Thor at the moment was the necromancer Gonzalo he had met in Cliff's mansion in the capital.I have to say that the two of them are indeed very destined. They met for the third time since the Mario Mountains and the capital of the kingdom, Dusk.

Seeing Saul, new hatred and old hatred rushed into Gonzalo's heart.He said viciously: "When I was attacked just now, I should have guessed that it was you, a despicable guy, who was behind the scenes. Last time, I was disqualified from being a lich by the president because of you. Today you finally fell into my hands." in hand."

Secretly, this is a terrible situation. I have dealt with this guy several times, and it is not so easy to fool him today.Saul laughed and said, "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time, ahhaha, how are you doing recently..." He glanced around.

Gonzalo sneered: "Are you looking for your subordinate? He is so powerful that he can even track my 'shadow technique'. I had to cut off a finger to make a puppet to lure him away. But he I'm afraid it's more than ten kilometers away now, and I can't save you anymore."

Sure enough, his drooping right hand was missing a tail finger.

With a thump in his heart, a burst of cold sweat immediately broke out on Sol's back. Chip was lured away?This time it's over, there is only Xiaomei beside me, but judging from the reaction of this guy when he was attacked just now, even if he sneaks up on Xiaomei, it is very difficult to succeed, if he misses one hit, he will be in bad luck.

Facing the critical moment of life and death, Sol's brain began to work rapidly.As he backed away slowly, approaching Xiaomei's hiding place, he said with a dry smile: "No, I just want to see where it is cleaner, so we can sit down and have a good chat..."

Having dealt with this scoundrel several times, how could Gonzalo know that he was stalling for time?He snorted, shook his right hand slightly, and produced two bone guns in front of him.

"Chat? After you're dead and I turn you into a zombie, we'll have plenty of time to spend together." He grinned coldly.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say!" Saul suddenly shouted just as Gonzalo was about to throw the bone gun.

Captured by his sudden yell, Gonzalo actually stopped: "What do you want?"

"Actually... I have a big secret to tell you." Sol said mysteriously.

Still want to repeat the old trick?Gonzalo smiled sarcastically, and was about to throw the bone gun.Seeing that he didn't listen, Sol hurriedly said, "Don't you want to know where the key is?"

Sure enough, Gonzalo was shocked and stopped immediately: "What did you just say?"

After finally regaining the initiative, Sol shook his fingers: "You must be looking for the 'key' that Kajirido collected, right? Unfortunately, it's not here."

"You...how did you know we were looking for it..." Gonzalo said in surprise.

Knowing that his life is safe for the time being, Sol secretly let go, but on the surface he didn't dare to be careless: "I just heard what you said...ah no, guess what?"

Gonzalo was not in the mood to play games with him, so he slowly sent the bone gun forward: "Say it!"

Thor quickly said: "Okay, I said, it's actually because the Adventurer's Guild is also looking for it. The reason why I was able to find it this time is because of the information they provided."

"You mean the Adventurer's Guild?" Gonzalo became more and more suspicious.

Saul's words were half-truth, he knew that he had successfully stabilized Gonzalo: "Isn't it, they entrusted me to come here to dig the treasure of Kajirido. According to our agreement, after the treasure is dug out, They want the key, and the rest of the treasure is mine."

As he said that, he sighed pretendingly: "I didn't know that I only found out recently that the thing is not here at all. This time it's really a waste of time."

Gonzalo is not an idiot, he snorted and sneered: "Are you trying to lie to me again? If the Adventurer's Guild really wanted to find this thing, why would it entrust an outsider, and you, the lord?"

Sol was stunned, it was hard to explain, but fortunately, his brain turned quickly, and he immediately described the shape and size of the thing, and finally said: "It's not because they can't break the barrier that Kajirido set up outside the treasure location." The curse of dragon language, and I happen to be familiar with a dragon, that is, the blue dragon, you have seen it. Only dragons can break the curse of dragons, so they entrusted me to come."

Gonzalo was destroyed by Elebena when he tried to transform into a lich using the Pluto crystal in the Mario Mountains, so he was very impressed with the blue dragon, and she was indeed walking with Sol at the time.

In addition, Sol's description of the thing was not bad, and he finally believed it: "So it is."

"Right, now you should know that I'm not lying, right?" Sol secretly wiped his cold sweat.

Damn, I admire myself a little, for such a mess can be broken together.

Unexpectedly, Gonzalo raised his bone gun: "Since you know the secret, you should be damned!"

Damn, why is this guy so stubborn?Sol was scared out of his wits, he hurriedly said: "Wait, it doesn't matter if I die, don't you want to know where that thing is?"

After all, if you care about it, you will be confused. Gonzalo hesitated and stopped again: "What kind of trick are you trying to play? Knowing that I will definitely kill you, you will tell me kindly?"

Sol put on a bitter face: "I also know that I am destined to die, but if I tell you the truth, I hope you can grant me a small request."

"What is it?"

"That is, after killing me, don't turn me into a zombie, that would be too humiliating."

After killing Saul and turning him into a zombie, this is just Gonzalo saying casually in anger. How can he have time to do this?
Seeing that Sol actually took it seriously, he said smoothly: "Well, I promise you, after I kill you, I will let your soul rest in peace. Tell me, where is that thing hidden?"

"That thing is there..." Sol faltered.

Fearing that Chip would come back at this time, Gonzalo looked around anxiously: "Say it quickly, or I will kill you immediately!"

At this time, Saul had quickly made up a set of arguments in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "Before he died, Cajirido gave that thing to Brevila in Gosmed Snow Mountain."

"White Dragon Bravila? You said that thing is there?" Gonzalo frowned.

Unexpectedly, Saul shook his finger, "Of course not."

Gonzalo was furious: "Is it or is it not? Don't play around with me!"

Sol said: "Don't worry, listen to me, this matter is a long story... How about we drink tea, have some supper and listen to me slowly?"

Seeing Gonzalo's face getting more and more gloomy at a glance, he quickly said: "That's right, Cliff sent his men down to snatch Bravella's treasure, and that thing fell into Cliff's hands along with the treasure." What Sol hates the most now is that old boy Clive, who never forgets to splash his dirty water.

Gonzalo also heard about Cliff's robbing of the White Dragon's treasure. He nodded, "So that's the case. No wonder... Hey, that's not right!"

He suddenly came to his senses: "Cliff's treasure has been snatched by another group of people, you really are lying to me."

Unexpectedly, he even knew about this, Saul laughed and backed away: "I don't know about that, you go ask Cliff who robbed his treasure, it is probably in whose hands it is .”

How can Gonzalo listen to his nonsense: "Sure enough, he is a smooth-talking guy. I almost fell for your tricks again. But I won't listen to your nonsense anymore, go to hell..."

Before the words fell, Sol pointed behind him and said, "Ah, Chip, you are finally back."

"Hmph, do you think I would fall for such a childish trick?" Gonzalo sneered.

"Won't it?" Suddenly, a cold snort came from Gonzalo's ear.

For a moment, Gonzalo felt his whole body stiffen. Before he could think about it, he rushed forward, but it was still a step too late.In an instant, there was a flash of silver light, and the Gonzalo had already been thrown away.

Kneeling up after landing, his whole face contorted: "Bastard..."

There was a big cut in his mage robe, and Chip could vaguely see that the entire shriveled abdomen had been cut open, and streams of transparent mucus kept oozing from the wound.

With a successful blow, Chip didn't allow him a chance to breathe, the dagger flicked between his wrists, and he rushed over again.

Firmly pressing on his abdomen, Gonzalo waved his right hand in front of him, and in an instant a bone wall emerged from the ground, separating him from Chip.Taking advantage of this opportunity, he turned around and rushed to the edge of the hillside, about to jump down.

The moment Gonzalo's feet left the ground, Saul yelled: "Xiaomei, do it!"

Before he finished speaking, a thick bone arrow arrived in an instant, piercing the back of Gonzalo's neck accurately.The necromancer's body shook violently in mid-air, and then fell straight to the ground.

Fearing that this guy was dead but not stiff, Chip rushed to his side in a few steps, putting on a defensive posture.However, Gonzalo's entire neck was pierced by Xiaomei's bone arrow, leaving only a layer of skin attached to his head.

He was lying on his back on the ground, breathing with difficulty. After all, necromancers were not really dead, and fatal injuries would kill them as well.

After confirming safety, Saul walked over calmly.Looking at this despicable villain who killed himself, Gonzalo shot a look of hatred in his eyes, but he no longer had the energy to express his anger.

"I told you that Chip is behind, why don't you believe it?" Saul said triumphantly.

Gonzalo was so angry that his whole body was shaking, he gasped for breath, and said with the last of his strength: "You liar, dignified lord, no...not based on honesty..."

If you can't catch your breath, you will die.

"Alas..." Sol couldn't help sighing when he thought that this guy had a chance to become a lich and entangled with him for so long, but he didn't expect to die in this wilderness for no apparent reason.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed something falling out from under Gonzalo's torn mage robe.It was a palm-sized sign. It was dark and made of unknown material. The face of the sign was engraved with the head of the god of the underworld, surrounded by a circle of strange runes, which was very delicate.

Since Gonzalo is qualified to use the Necromancer Crystal to transform into a Lich, his status in the Necromancer Guild is definitely not low. Although I don't know what the use of this brand is, it is definitely not an ordinary thing.

After a moment of hesitation, Sol picked up the sign.In the future, it is necessary to deal with the Necromancer Guild, this thing might be useful.

At this moment, there was a clattering sound from the bushes behind him, Chip pulled Sol behind him, and stared at that side with a full face.Unexpectedly, as the bushes parted, it was Lesta and Jeter who came out.

Seeing the two of them, Sol was really relieved. It seemed that the other necromancer was also finished.

Throwing a shriveled head on the ground, Lesta looked at Gonzalo's body on the ground and said, "This guy almost ran away, are you done?"

Saul noticed that Jeter's hand was dripping blood, and quickly said, "How are you?"

Jeter waved it indifferently: "It's okay, it was just rubbed by the bone gun."

The accidental meeting of two necromancers here tonight made Sol vaguely aware of a lot of things. It seems that many people are thinking about the idea of ​​Kirido's treasure, so we have to hurry up.

Thinking of this, he said to Jeter: "You take the corpses of these two necromancers back to the camp, and burn them with a fire. Don't leave any traces, just bandage the wounds casually. Chip, brother, let's continue up the mountain."

Jet nodded, leaned over and picked up Gonzalo's body and walked down the mountain.Anyway, these necromancers didn't have much flesh left in their bodies, they were as light as paper.

Sol and the others continued to go up the mountain. Along the way, Lesta couldn't help asking: "Brother-in-law, what is there on the mountain?"

Sol chuckled: "Of course it's a good thing, and I'll count on it for the rest of my life."

************************************************** ***********************************
After more than an hour, the three finally came to the "beast head" at the top of the mountain.This is a concave cliff, about ten square meters wide, like a natural stone room, but there is no gate.

At this moment, the walls of the cliff are covered with weeds, and at the end is a stone wall covered by tangled vines. From the gaps between the vines, one can vaguely see that the stone wall is polished and smooth, which seems to be unnatural.

Secretly thinking that Kajirido's treasure should be inside, Sol couldn't help but walk forward.Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiaomei who was following behind him let out a hiss and grabbed him.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Sol turned his head strangely.

Xiaomei looked at the stone wall with horror on her face, and she couldn't help but backed away while holding Sol, as if she didn't want to get closer.

The perception of monsters is much stronger than that of humans, and Xiaomei must have sensed some kind of danger to keep Sol away.At this time Chip also said: "My lord, I also feel that there is something strange in front, you should not get too close."

Knowing that it must be related to Kajirido's forbidden spell, Sol hesitated, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over.An astonishing thing happened. Before the stone touched the stone wall, a strange wave suddenly appeared in midair like a rippling water surface, and the stone didn't even stir up a bubble, so it just fell into it. , disappeared without a trace.

"My God, what is that? Where did the stone go?" Lesta clicked her tongue in shock.

Chip calmly said: "This should be some kind of space magic. That stone probably doesn't exist in this world anymore. Space magic is a forbidden technique that even the great magister can't master. Who the hell can plant such a stone here? A powerful enchantment?"

The secret dragon is a dragon after all, this kind of forbidden spell that can devour everything can't even get close to it, let alone break it, no wonder Brevila is so confident.

Of course Thor would not be so stupid as to try his own way, although for a moment, he thought: "Maybe through this enchantment, I can go back to another world..."

Even though those two necromancers were killed, the Necromancer Guild would still find this place sooner or later.What is even more worrying is that I don't know how long those two people's illusion can deceive Gru.

Gru is the son of Kajirido, maybe with the blood of the black dragon on his body, he might be able to break the curse.Although Sol didn't know this, he instinctively felt that if Gru were to find this place, things would become very troublesome.

That is to say, he must break the forbidden spell as soon as possible, and get the treasure inside before he can talk, otherwise he may lose everything.

"Just wait and see, this is mine, and none of you can take it away!" He swore secretly in his heart.

The motivating effect of treasures is huge. Facing such a powerful enemy, Saul, who has always been greedy for life and fear of death, not only did not back down, but instead aroused his fighting spirit.

Seeing Sol frowning for a while, and muttering to himself for a while, standing there not knowing what to say, Lesta tentatively asked: "Brother-in-law, are you alright?"

Sol raised his head sharply, which startled him.Ignoring Lista's words, he walked out of the cave: "No, we have to go back to Lovell immediately."

"Ah?" Lesta felt that Zhang Erjingang was puzzled, and her brother-in-law was talking about it tonight, what happened?
"Wait for me, brother-in-law, it's so late, let's go tomorrow." He chased after him.

After the two left, Chip took another deep look at the stone wall before turning around and leaving.
