The mage arrives

Zantaba Tehurst walked along a dank and dark corridor in the black spider fortress.His anxiety made him feel that the road was extremely long, as if it would never end.He felt that everything was really not going well today, the originally detailed and well-planned plan kept having various problems, and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Just now, after the violent vibration of the entire Crystal Tower, it fell into complete silence not long after.The magic circle, which was continuously replenishing energy to the Sin Orb, completely stopped working.After getting the news, the Pale Lord immediately ordered his mages to find out the reason and fix it quickly.But all the efforts were in vain.

Although due to years of disrepair, the Crystal Tower has been experiencing various minor problems since Zantaba's opening, but this almost irreparable problem occurred when the entire Sin Orb Magic Circle was about to start, which made him feel a kind of The urge to destroy the world.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the artifact buried at the bottom of the tower?

Zantaba thought about it, and only thought of this possibility.Although he thought that even he couldn't open the six-track nine-ring magic seal on the gate of the Hall of Artifacts, and no one else could open it, but in the face of the facts, he didn't know what happened in the Crystal Tower for a while.

Originally, there was a problem with the Crystal Tower and there was no hope of repairing it, so he immediately decided to go to the second floor of the dungeon to take a look.But I didn't expect that at this critical moment, those damned arcane ooze monsters would come out to make trouble again!

In the past, whether it was the black spider fortress that served as a stronghold, or the scout troops who went out on patrol, they had all been attacked by the hordes of arcane ooze monsters.But it was always a small-scale sneak attack, and it only appeared with blood-red mist.But this time, the situation is very different.

More than five hundred arcane ooze monsters.It drilled out of every rock crevice, cave, stone wall, and mushroom bushes, surrounded the black spider fortress, and launched a fierce attack.

The scene where the black surface was covered by countless arcane ooze monsters almost in the blink of an eye made everyone in the black spider fortress gasp.

Although I don't know what happened to these arcane ooze monsters, they suddenly launched a group attack on the black spider fortress, but Zantaba, as the person in charge of this plan, can only direct his limited manpower to resist.

Because most of the power of the Three Holy Baptist Church in Freyton is concentrated in the hands of the bastard in the second seat of the Twelve Stone Seat, leaving Zantaba himself.Only a very limited amount of power.

"Scrupulous intelligence protection and covert operations are the most powerful defensive force. I want to assist those orcs to invade the south. I regret that I can't provide you with more help."

That nasty black knight was heading north into the barren tundra.That's what Zantaba said.Although the reason sounds high-sounding, Zantaba is clear.This is just a ploy to fight for power within the organization.

"Damn it! When I successfully complete the plan this time, I will definitely make you pay the price after I get the appreciation of several maharajas!"

Fortunately, although there are a large number of arcane ooze monsters, and they are not afraid of magic attacks, they are extremely difficult to deal with, but these monsters do not have too much wisdom.Not to mention any military literacy.Relying on the solid fortifications of the Black Spider Fortress, the Sansheng Baptist Church finally withstood the opponent's siege, and continued to reduce its number.

But this is far from enough.

Zantaba needs to get rid of all the arcane ooze monsters as soon as possible, and then concentrate all resources and strength.Find a way to activate the Sin Orb Array.

Because not long ago, he received information that Ugru Iron Claw's tundra orc army had crossed the river and was about to arrive at the foot of the Anduin Great Wall.

The Pale Lord is going to find Brother Rosengard.The two of them are high-level wanderers with the title of "Invisible Blade", and they are the most powerful fighters in the entire Black Spider Fortress.If they are there, it is most suitable to deal with those arcane ooze monsters that are soft and fragile although they have magic resistance.

But the brothers were busy torturing spies in the dungeon, rejected Zantaba's request for reinforcements twice in a row, and even wounded the people he sent.

Helpless, Zantaba had no choice but to go out in person.

Constantly thinking about all kinds of troublesome things in his mind, Zantaba finally walked through the long corridor.He went down the cramped stairs, and when he was still some distance away from the dungeon, he heard screams that made his soul tremble.

"Those two lunatics are still playing those bloody torture games at this time."

In an evil organization like the Three Holy Baptist Church that worships the demonic lord, it is not uncommon for such a person to be rated as "crazy" by a pale lord who dares to half-dead his body.

The screams finally disappeared.Zantaba pushed open the heavy wooden door and walked into the dark dungeon where only a few torches provided light.

What came to the face was the musty smell of damp, the smell of fresh blood, and the stench of human vomit and excrement, all mixed together to form a smell.Zantaba covered his nose and frowned.

Compared with this overly fresh and strong smell, he is more used to the rancid smell from the mummified corpses in the ancient tomb.

"Hey, Master Pale Lord, I didn't expect you to appear here. How about it, do you want to join our little entertainment?"

said the older of the Rosengard brothers.His eyelids were drooping, and while he was talking, he was licking the uncooled blood on the sharp blade with relish, and he didn't put Zantaba in his eyes at all.

"Brother, Mr. Zantaba is doing his best for the big plan of our Sansheng Baptist Church, so naturally he doesn't want to play with our brothers." The younger brother said with a smile.The twin brothers looked almost identical, with thin faces and long, sinister eyes. The only difference was that the older brother wore a ponytail, while the younger brother let his long brown hair loose.

"I need you to deal with those arcane ooze monsters that are attacking the black spider fortress. Time is running out, we must solve this little trouble as soon as possible." Zantaba suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Although our brother's recurve blade is very sharp, it will not be used to deal with those garbage monsters that won't bleed. Only real, hot blood is worth our shot. Moreover, we have more important things to do," said the brother.

"Is there anything more important than ensuring the activation of the Sin Orb Circle..." As soon as Zantaba finished speaking, the younger brother of the Rosengard brothers put two blood-stained pure white priest robes and two holy The emblem was thrown at the Pale Lord's feet.

Although there were no patterns embroidered on the pastor's robe, the rising sun and moon engraved on the three holy emblems indicated the identity of its owner—the priest of Meridia, the goddess of dawn.

"How about that bitch priest in Meridia appearing near the black spider fortress, is it more important than those arcane ooze monsters?"

As one of the three major churches in Freyton, the country of platinum, the pastor of Meridia actually appeared, which is definitely a big event.And according to the habits of the Freidon people, the Platinum Temple would usually act together with the Temple of Dawn.

Thinking of what might happen, Zantaba couldn't help feeling chills even though he had experienced countless battles and conspiracies.

He couldn't care less about Brother Rosengard's disrespect towards him now, and asked quickly, "Where are the two pastors?"

"What about 'resting' in the corner, if you have prepared a spell like 'soul imprisonment', maybe you can ask something from their mouths."

"Soul imprisonment?"

The brothers stepped aside so that Zantaba could see the far corner of the dungeon.

There, the human bodies with their limbs cut off were stacked together, and the severed hands and feet were neatly placed beside them.There are also two heads with mixed expressions of pain and fear at the time of death, built on the top of this "pyramid".

The two wooden barrels next to it were filled with broken internal organs.

"Did you find anything useful from them?"

"No. You know, these priests of Meridia are determined, even if they are subjected to the most severe punishment, they will not submit to us. But we enjoy the screams and wailing of these people. Ah, that is the most wonderful thing in the world Music. Even blood tastes tastier after suffering..."

"You two damned idiots! You killed them without asking any useful information!" Zantaba finally got angry.

Brother Rosengard said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Master Pale Lord, compared to the follower of that bitch Meridia, the other three mages are much easier to deal with. I believe they witnessed the death of their companions. After the game, I will be much more honest.”

The two took Zantaba to another cell.On the wall, three young men were firmly shackled in big characters.

Zantaba frowned - not because the bloody scene he saw just now made him uncomfortable, but because this cell was specially designed for imprisoning spellcasters.Here, he, the Pale Lord, lost contact with the Weave.

From a powerful advanced necromancer to suddenly becoming an ordinary person who cannot use spells, this is very uncomfortable for Zantaba.

"Hmph, fragile mages...Although they usually show off their might, their strength is not as reliable as your own body." The Rosengard brothers caught the change in Zantaba's expression, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corners of their lips.

Zantaba didn't notice the strangeness of the two brothers, he looked at the captured mage.

They are all young, and the little girl with short blonde hair on the far left is the youngest and has the weakest mental capacity.There were traces of vomit on the neckline of her mage robe, and there were water marks between her legs, which reeked of blood.

"Well, it's really not appropriate for children to watch our entertainment activities. This little girl not only vomited, but also peed her pants in fright." (To be continued...)
