Ryan's Sword

Chapter 253 No.70 The Adventurous Squad of the Second Act Attack (Ⅴ)
The sound of water gurgling.

A ray of pure water slowly flows into the bottom of the city wall of Buson Town through a wide artificial water channel. The waterfall fell into the bottomless underground well.

Different from the clean water flow, the entire water body under the deep well with tumbling water was dyed a turbid pale white.Dozens of flush holes divert the accumulated water continuously, but no matter how much water falls from above, it can't dilute the strange turbidity that makes people feel uncomfortable at a glance.

The reason for this situation lies in the large platform above the deep well, which is comparable to the size of a basketball court. Below the platform hang eight humanoid corpses tightly wrapped in gray-white shrouds, each with its chest extended A soft tube came out, and drops of turbid white liquid were continuously dripping from it. Once it touched the water surface, it spread out like ink, and instantly merged with the turbidity in it.

If Ian was present at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize that this method of polluting the water body is exactly the same as what he has seen, and the hoses hanging along the walls must also be connected with such humanoid corpses.

Different from the water source node guarded by the snake people, there are no buildings above this platform, and there are no redundant objects. There is only a giant magic circle that occupies most of the platform, and a piece of alchemy-like magic circle at the corner. A wooden workbench full of bottles and jars used by the magician.

The magic circle covering almost the entire platform is drawn with lead-gray magic runes, but about one-fifth of the core area is still blank, obviously still in an unfinished state.A skinny old man in a black robe was lying on the ground, holding a black quill the length of his forearm, and concentrated on drawing mysterious runes into the magic circle.

A strange monster like a skinned hyena curled up, holding a round tray filled with lead-gray magic ink on its shoulders and on top of its head, and followed the old man step by step, for him to dip in at any time.

This obedient pet-like monster has a huge mouth full of fangs, and the mouth alone occupies a quarter of the entire head.Such obvious morphological characteristics show that this is not a pet that ordinary people can keep, but a mature ghoul without a doubt.

It is estimated that only the Necromancer who controls it will do this kind of thing to let a ferocious ghoul accompany him.

At this time, the sound of water rumbled in the entire underground space. Due to the water quality and environmental problems, even the soldiers of the Iron Rank would feel inexplicably irritable after staying for a long time, and it was difficult to maintain a stable state of mind.But the black-robed old man lying on the ground did not show any impatience from the beginning to the end. Instead, he turned the quill extremely intently, completing the magic circle on the ground stroke by stroke, as if this was the greatest meaning of his life.

Two swift black shadows rushed out of the channel of the Unicom platform, and stepped on the edge of the platform in an instant.Those who came here were none other than the two snake warriors sent by Aria.

Seeing that the necromancer who was engrossed in drawing the magic circle did not respond to the arrival of the two of them, Adolek, the leader, frowned, and immediately shouted in a hoarse voice: "Master Hodleni, our lord asks you, manipulating When will the magic circle of the undead be completed?"

Although his voice was hoarse, his strong fighting spirit still overwhelmed the sound of rumbling water.However, the old man in black robe lying on the ground didn't react at all as if he didn't hear anything.

"you!"

As Aria's subordinates, these two snake-man warriors are usually guys with eyes above the top, and they both belong to the personality that all the world except true god believers are pariahs.Seeing that the necromancer ignored him, Adolek looked sullenly at the other snakeman Zhan Morakot behind him, and the two grinned sneeringly, and immediately held onto the hilt of the sword at their waists, fighting together. Walk towards the center of the platform.

Snake people who have been in contact with conjurers all the year round have no fear of necromancers of the same level. In their eyes, the actions of the other party seem to be provocations. Enough lesson!
"Huh? Wait..." As soon as the two of them approached the periphery of the magic circle, Adolek, who was in the lead, keenly noticed that he seemed to penetrate an invisible membrane, and the sound of the surrounding water suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by It was an eerie silence that made the hair stand on end.

Morakot, who followed closely behind, also stepped into this weird area, and the two subconsciously stopped, startled in their hearts, and flew out to both sides almost simultaneously, one left and one right.

"Be careful!!"

A cold and dazzling knife light slashed at the position where the two were before. Before touching the ground, they braked suddenly regardless of inertia, so that the magic circle on the ground was not damaged in the slightest.

It wasn't until this moment that the Snakeman warriors who rushed towards both sides were shocked to see that a tall figure in black armor appeared out of thin air where the knife light was, and it was obvious that the extremely precise knife just now was its masterpiece.

Right now, this black-armored warrior is a powerful black warrior. Under the ferocious bull-headed mask, there are two breathtaking scarlet lights. Just looking at each other makes the two snake-man warriors who are in doubt There was an unspeakable fear in my heart.

"Both, what's the matter?" The withered-faced necromancer did not raise his hand to dip the ink lifted by the ghoul until he finished the last stroke of the magic rune he was drawing. The old god asked on the ground. : "I forgot to explain, my pet has a bad temper, and it is easy to lose control and attack when a foreign object breaks in. I'm really sorry."

He obviously didn't mean to apologize in his slow words, but under the oppressive eyes of the black warrior, the two snake warriors couldn't think of rebutting at all.

The knife just now almost killed two corpses. The terrible thing is that this necromancer has the ability to be invisible. The two snake warriors are proud, but they will not be so stupid as to turn against the necromancer at this time——

God knows, there are several such undead monsters hidden on this platform! ?
As for the obvious humiliating meaning of the so-called "foreign object intrusion" in the other party's mouth, they were automatically filtered and ignored.

"Our lord asked us to come here and ask Your Excellency, how long will it take for the magic circle here to be completed?"

Suppressing the anger and aggrievedness in his heart, Adolek lowered his posture obediently, and asked meekly with lowered eyebrows.

"Oh?" The necromancer paused for a while when he dipped in the magic ink, and a sneer could not help but appear from the corner of his mouth, "The completion progress of the magic circle doesn't seem to be something your adults should care about?"

Just when Adolek and Morakot looked at each other, not knowing how to speak, the old-looking necromancer suddenly straightened up and let out a little surprise.

"The source liquid of the dead spirit is cut off?"

The necromancer froze for a moment, then closed his eyes to sense it.

For a moment, the smile on the corner of his mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, and he said to the two people who were at a loss: "The living corpse I arranged was destroyed by someone. What's he doing—if he's not dead yet."
