Chapter 121 Magic Garden
There was no wind, no vibration, no raindrops, no stars in the gray sky, all the frozen silence in the world was frozen, but the blood-red liquid shrouded by the Grand Cross Stand, which fluctuated and shook as if it had vitality, and the dark red color contrasted sharply and strangely with the black, white, and gray background of the entire world.
Lucian took a closer look at the brilliant Grand Cross Stand, and the "Book of Astrology and Elements" in the Soul Library turned to the corresponding position to compare: "This is not like the use of the magic tower to protect the magic tower, etc., but it seems to concentrate most of the power to seal something."
Thinking of this possibility, Lucian looked at the shaking blood-red liquid seriously again for a few seconds, and then corrected his previous calculation of the location of the magic garden according to the position indicated by the reflection of the nine stars.
Lucian was very curious about what was sealed, but he understood even more that using his strength to approach the legendary level of the lock seal with the strength of a person who was not officially a transcendent person was simply looking for death.
A faint gray-white afterimage flashed, and Lucian, who had recovered a lot under the strong self-healing ability of the moonlight bloodline, quickly left the lakeside path and entered the "veritable" Black Forest.
It was extremely quiet, and there was not a single living creature in sight, not even the leaves showed any signs of shaking.
In this oppressive woods, Lucian silently calculated the distance, and after more than ten minutes, he saw a huge building shrouded in dark shadows, and from time to time bright light was drawn out from time to time and fell in the direction of Lake Elsinore.
Although most of the power of the "Grand Cross Rack" lock comes from the earth, the sun and the nine stars, but the magic garden that forms self-circulation is also a useful supplement, it is impossible not to guard against magic traps or magic circles that others break into.
The black "bat pituitary gland" appeared on Lucian's left hand, and the silent spell was recited, and the invisible fluctuations spread around Lucian's center, and then reflected back when they encountered obstacles.
Tall black firs took shape in Lucian's mind, and the scene within a few hundred meters nearby gradually became clear, but the ultrasonic detection could only return to the approximate shape, and many strange things that stood still made it impossible to judge what they were, as for the aura of living creatures at all.
While checking the magic trap, Lucian moved forward cautiously, and when he got close to a strange object he had just discovered, he realized that it was a strangely shaped black stone, not something dangerous.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lucian continued to walk forward.
"There is another strange thing ahead, which may also be a stone ......."
Bypassing the dense part of the trees, Lucian, who had dark vision, immediately saw the strange thing.
It was a tombstone carved out of stone, dark black and covered with a faint haze in the locked world, and behind it was a small tomb.
The tombstone is engraved with a line of bleak words: "The noble and brave Mr. David Shetrion, who became mayor of the town of Bonn because he executed many heretical poor, but died because he fell in love with someone. Well, although he fell in love with a man, a man with great strength."
Faced with this black humorous epitaph, the corners of Lucian's mouth twitched slightly, if I remember correctly, he had seen this tombstone when he sneaked into the town of Bonn, but it was located in the town's cemetery rather than in the Black Forest: "Could it be that in the world of the lost lock, the cemetery has moved here?"
The cemetery behind the tomb is filled with many black cross tombstones without burial chambers, which look particularly gloomy and cold against the black, white and gray background.
Lucian glanced at the cemetery, considering that the monotonous world of black, white and gray was very suitable for the undead, so he turned to the side, preparing to bypass the cemetery.
Although this will delay for several minutes, it is much safer.
As soon as he turned around, Lucian, who was holding "vigilance" tightly, once again felt that his hair was standing upright and cold, so he did not hesitate to swing his long sword behind him.
The touch as if hitting rotten wood and a huge force came through vigilance at the same time, Lucian's arms went numb, and he rolled forward with the momentum, his body quickly moonlighting.
After hitting a tombstone on the edge of the cemetery, Lucian bounced to the side and took the opportunity to turn around, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the pale text on the tombstone of the black cross:
"I used to be fat, but I'm finally going to lose weight."
A rotten palm suddenly stretched out from the slightly raised black cold soil behind the laughable epitaph, and then a humanoid undead creature covered in rotten flesh, exposed bones, and stench sat up with the soil flying around.
And after Lucian turned around, he saw the same undead, the door to Mr. David Shetrion's tomb had been opened!
Lucian turned into an afterimage, wary of the long sword slashing forward, but the undead who were chasing Lucian were very fast, and instinctively flashed the long sword to the side and rushed towards Lucian.
The long sword had spare strength, and it happened to be in front of him after an arc.
After the silent collision, the vigilant long sword shook rapidly, the power of the undead creature actually exceeded Lucian by a little, and at the same time, after smelling the stench and rotten smell, Lucian had a feeling of swelling and pain in his head, heat in his forehead, and a slight paralysis in his body!
"Ghoul!"
Lucian recognized the undead's species by its sharp teeth and combat features, which were much stronger than ordinary skeletons.
In this quirky world of mazes, it is comparable to a formal knight, not much worse in speed and agility than Lucian, and slightly better than in strength.
The ghoul has the characteristics of an undead creature, and its whole body is shrouded in a corpse plague aura and negative energy, as long as it is hit by it, the whole person will be paralyzed and unable to move, and will be infected with the plague.
And if killed by it, it will turn into a new ghoul after a day.
After recognizing the type of undead, Lucian began to swim and fight, not in direct contact with the first ghoul, and the second ghoul seemed to be weaker than the first, unable to keep up with its speed and agility, and could only angrily chase the afterimage dragged by Lucian next to it.
Dealing with the ghouls without sanity, Lucian gradually gained the upper hand, wary of the long sword slashing at its body from time to time, although each time it was like hitting a thick piece of wood and could not be completely cut, but it also caused the ghoul's rotten muscles to fall piece by piece.
Meanwhile, Lucian is preparing the "Brimstone Wall" magic, striving to quickly get rid of the ghouls.
The ghoul became more and more crazy, and suddenly opened his mouth and screamed silently.
This scream did not cause any harm to Lucian, but Lucian saw the rotten arms in the cemetery suddenly stretched out, forming a strange scenery with the black cross structure.
"So many undead?! Is there anything as powerful as this one in it?"
Lucian took advantage of its scream and laid a pale flame in front of him, with a pungent and strong smell of sulfur.
Then, Lucian fled to the place where he came without looking back, so many undead creatures were not something he could solve, if there was another similar ghoul, he might not even know how to die.
A sword slashed over the second ghoul that stood in his way, and Lucian was about to escape but smelled a strong rancid and disgusting smell.
Another powerful ghoul stood in front of him, and more than ten ghouls behind him were getting up from the cemetery.
Be wary of a long sword, Lucian's left hand shone brightly, and three pale white ice blades flew out with intense cold.
"Palmera's Ice Blade" hit the ghoul in front of it, leaving deep wounds on its arms, neck, and chest.
But as undead, such injuries are not fatal, and they are immune to cold damage!
At this time, the cold breath of the "Ice Flying Blade" quickly condensed into a thin layer of ice on the ghoul's body, temporarily freezing it in place.
After Lucian activated the "Ice Avenger", he immediately cast the "Ring of Runaway", and the gravitational force suddenly became a little heavier, causing the ghoul behind the "Brimstone Fire Wall" to suddenly lose its balance and tilt to the side.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lucian dragged a faint afterimage past the ghouls that were beginning to crack in the ice, and ran away in the direction he came.
In the cold and desperate silence, behind the moonlit Lucian was a large group of rotten ghouls that exuded a foul odor chasing frantically.
Lucian was very calm, and began to change direction and circle towards the magic garden.
The ghouls were strong and weak, and they were slowly thrown away by Lucian, and only two official knights were still chasing, and at this time Lucian had already seen the black gate of the magic garden.
The magic garden is shrouded in black and gray shadows, and only this gate can be clearly seen, while behind the gate is a low building that seems to be accessible only through it.
This low building seems to have been cut down from the lower few floors of the magic tower, with a pointed black tower top, with a strong eerie and eerie architectural style of the ancient magical empire.
Lucian was going to circle a few more times to get rid of the two ghouls, but as soon as he left the dense Black Forest and approached the magic garden, he suddenly found that the circular strange magic circle carved on the gate was very familiar.
It is the most basic magic circle of the "Grand Cross Rack" maze, but it is missing a small part, and it has a complete structure in the "Book of Astrology and Elements".
"Specially prepared for your own inheritors?" Expecting a partially confirmed sense of unreality to rise, Lucian didn't have time to hesitate, dragging the gray-white afterimage and rushing towards the gate, holding a tube of mercury in his hand, his mental power ready to go.
As soon as he approached the gate, mercury turned into droplets of white water and flew out, and under the control of his spiritual power, he began to replenish the magic circle.
If you don't know the complete structure, even the archmage may have to analyze it for a long time to come up with it, but Lucian, who knows that the basic magic circles of the "Grand Cross Rack" have been prepared, only took a little time to make the mercury turn into three-dimensional lines and structures and connect with the original magic circle.
The two ghouls rushed behind Lucian, one left and one right, and their unpleasant stench and the corpse plague they carried made Lucian slightly dizzy.
The lines of the magic circle all lit up at the same moment, the brilliant light bloomed, and the black gate fell into the void behind it, revealing a deep and mysterious hollow.
Lucian gritted his teeth and pounced on the two ghouls as their palms were about to grab their backs.
