At the bottom of Edward''s crypt, unlike the previous layers of clean air, the corridor behind the gate exudes an instinctive sense of wanting to leave, the smell of death. "It smells worse than rotten meat. What did you put on the bottom? A cesspit? " Jack, who has the sharpest sense of smell, nearly fainted because of the smell. He covered his mouth and nose, stepped back a few steps and complained to the old Ghoul around him. The old man didn''t care about the wolf man''s speech. Under the stench, his indifferent expression finally changed. Even though the soul keeper could see many things, the fact that the holy land of the family was desecrated still made him feel angry.
"It''s a dead fog, and it''s going to do serious damage to all living people. If we go in like this, it won''t be long before we start to rot from our lungs. " Cheese frowned, and he quickly recognized the source of the smell. However, this does not mean that the grey robed mage can solve the difficulties in front of him. Generally speaking, the way to deal with the dead fog is to destroy it with sunlight. But how can the sun come from the depths of the cave? The easiest way cheese can get here first is to connect it to the ground and use a mirror to guide the sun into it. But this project can not be completed overnight.
"I''ll do it." Just when the mage was in trouble, the old man with a lantern came over. "Do you have a solution?" Cheese was quite surprised. He had never heard of the watchman''s access to such a large amount of dead fog. "I think so." The old Ghoul nodded, put the lantern in his hand on the ground, and motioned the members of the team to step back a little, and then walked quietly into the dead fog in the eyes of all.
Several people look at each other, they do not know what the old man said the solution is, this thick smell of death so that ordinary senses can not work. Only cheese''s eyes twinkled with a terrible light, and through the magic vision, he was the only one who could see through the dead fog. Because of this, the mage''s eyes opened wider and wider, and his expression was distorted to the naked eye, because he saw that the ghoul walking into the dead fog was swallowing the dead air in the air!
The stench in the air was getting lighter and weaker, and soon it almost disappeared. The old man in sackcloth came back slowly. His steps were more floating than before, and he seemed to fall down at any time. Cheese wants to help each other, but is stopped by the ghoul. "Don''t worry about me. I''m a good old man. I just ate a little too much, and I may not be able to keep my figure. I hope you will not be surprised. " With that, the skinny old man began to change. His inelastic skin was pulled, which made people worry that it would break at any time. Soon one of the thinnest ghouls that cheese had ever seen appeared before the crowd. Unlike those who looked daunting, the old Ghoul''s teeth and claws had lost their power because of time, and looked like a mummy with a disproportionate figure.
Cheese slightly saluted each other. The ghouls are also a kind of creatures. Neither eating corpses nor believing in death can protect them from the influence of the fog of death. Therefore, the old man''s behavior of swallowing the fog is tantamount to sacrificing himself to exchange for the team''s way forward. This makes the mage''s heart not so good, he came here to solve the Lich to prevent more people from dying, not to create new sacrifice. The ghoul seemed to see the pain of cheese. He slowly sat down against the wall and said to the mage, "I need a rest. I''m sorry I can''t follow you along the way. I hope you can achieve what you want and make it all meaningful. " When the voice falls, the pair of old and muddy eyes closed quietly.
"He stopped breathing." Wolf Walker put his head close to the guide''s chest and said after listening for a while. Everyone knew what it meant, and they were silent, but their arms were clenched more tightly. "Let''s go." Cheese took the lead in saying that he tossed his gray robe, picked up the lantern on the ground, and took the lead to the deepest steps. The rest of the team, without any objection, followed the gray figure ahead.
The sound of "click" boots breaking dead bones echoed in the corridor, and the further down, the more skeletons appeared on the steps. These skeletons came from humans, livestock, even rat people and ghouls. Obviously, they were not part of Edward''s crypt before, because according to the doctrine of soul watchers, after the body of the dead is divided, their bones must be put into the coffin. On the one hand, this is to prevent people from suspecting that they can not see the body after opening the coffin. On the other hand, this is also the insistence of the soul watchers, who firmly believe that their actions only accelerate the decomposition of the corpse The process is not an evil act.
In this case, the origin of these bones is clear. The cheese leaned over and picked up a small piece of broken bone with his fingers, twisted it more finely and put it under his nose to smell it. "The bones are fresh. Their owner has just died." "Are you sure? I''m afraid they''re almost as dry as my great grandfather Wolf Walker frowned and did the same thing as the mage, but in his opinion, the degree of air drying of the dead bones showed that they had been lying here for a long time.
"Something has taken something out of these bones Matter, it turns them into this. We''re speeding up. If I guess right, that damned Lich is restoring its power However, he can''t recognize the type of sorcery under his feet because of the sorcery, but he can''t be sure what kind of sorcery is caused by the sorcery. However, no matter what the effect of the magic, it must be used by the Lich hiding here.After hearing this, several people who followed pulled out their weapons and were ready to enter the battle at any time. They didn''t wait long.
The end of the crypt soon appeared in front of the team. It is worth mentioning that, unlike other classes, there are numerous candlesticks made of skulls in this open space. The dark blue flame dances from the top of the skull which has been knocked open, making the whole cave like the afterlife. On the ground, there are no bones up to the legs of adults. No one can identify their owners again. In front of this huge number, individuals seem meaningless.
"Here you are, the master of the grey tower, the Savior led by the count of salon, the tamer of the red dragon, the warrior who defeats the ghostly king, cheese." The heartless voice came from the deepest part of the hall. In the darkness that could not be illuminated by the dim light, two dark blue spots were staring at the invaders on the steps. "If I still have hands, I''ll applaud what you''ve done in this city. You''re so good that you can have werewolf and human knights with you, even witches and ghouls in your league. But it''s a pity that I don''t have your luck. The failed teleportation magic makes me lose too many limbs The Lich said, and the bones on the floor of the room began to glow with blue flames like those in the skull lampstand. These flames lit up the whole room, revealing the body sitting on the broken stone prayer table, with only the head and upper body ribs.
"Looks like this guy is still your fan?" Wolf Walker talks and laughs, showing his sharp teeth, and his green pupils are full of strong fighting spirit. A mutilated Lich? That kind of disappointed Jack. In his opinion, such a weak opponent can be solved quickly by himself without the strength of the whole team.
But cheese stopped the companion''s intention to rush up. The magic light in the mage''s eyes was rapidly turning into white. "Don''t go there. It''s lying. All the bones in this cave are its body. "
