Chapter 71 Ghost
The stone steps leading to the lower level of the Durag Tower are located at the edge of the tower and hover down around the central level of the tower, like a giant python. The stone steps on the above ground have windows to see the scene outside the tower.
At this time, the sun sets, and the outside of the Durag Tower is already gray and you can't see the scenery clearly. Since this area has not seen the sun all day long, let alone the living creatures in the wild, not to mention birds and beasts, even vegetation cannot survive. It is a true forbidden area for life.
Because the Tower of Durag is close to the Yunwu Mountains, looking from the window, you can see the rugged and rugged rock shadows in the distance, setting off the lonely and silent quiet environment here, making people feel sad and suddenly feel panic.
In theory, the most reasonable way to deal with it now should be to leave here as soon as possible. After all, the forbidden zone for life is not very large. As long as they leave the Yunwu Mountains for a distance, they will leave the area controlled by the undead.
However, the eight-man team, including Park Noda, is led by Joey. Driven by the strong curiosity of the murderer, the team has to move towards the most dangerous path.
A person as smart as Milleras has not questioned it in his heart. However, given that Qin Lun had performed well before and saved the team many times, it was hard to say anything about the Japanese Elf Prince. Moreover, he believed that being able to reach the ancient road, living one more day would be considered a profit. Before he died, it seemed that it was not bad to see the so-called life-forbidden zone.
Eristine trusted Joey completely and had basically never considered that the other party would lead her to death. It is estimated that Joey would now point to a deer as a horse, and she would look like she was like this. As for Lorraine, El and Less had no say, and could only follow everyone.
The only female knight in the team who can be independent is Idriya. She is a believer in abuse of the goddess. In her opinion, perhaps going deep into the forbidden area of the undead can be considered a way of self-abuse!
Everyone soon came from the second floor of the tower where they were located to the bottom floor. The bottom floor of the Tower of Durague was a rotunda, and the site was empty. Because the Tower of Durague was covered by clouds of death all year round, the ground water was evaporated, and the environment was cold and humid. If it weren't for the high-level undead, I was afraid that the Tower of Durague would have become a ruin long ago.
Even so, the corrosion phenomenon of this huge tower is very serious, with a sour smell hitting the nose. The walls of the hall look like a layer of gray powder, and if there is any movement, the powder will drizzle. Compared with the Iron Star Castle that Qin Lun and others had seen before, it feels dilapidated.
Joey led everyone around the stone platform behind the hall. This stone platform was probably the reception desk of the Tower of Durag or the registration desk. Some fences that have been turned into fossils can be seen around.
Behind the stone platform is a straight downward staircase with a slope of 45 degrees and a bit steep. However, it is quite spacious, which should have been the only way to go to the underground library.
"Buzz!" Joey took out the Eight-sided Sword from the storage space and pulled it out of the scabbard. As soon as the Eight-sided Sword was pulled out from the scabbard, the sword body emitted a soft and misty light, illuminating the dark passage.
"Haha, the forging technique of the Thorthal elves is really good. Firal, it seems you have found a good sword!" Milleras glanced at Joey enviously.
"Wow!" Lorraine and El were exclaimed from behind Joey, especially Lorraine, who was a dwarf, was even more drooling when she looked at the elf sword.
The forging craftsmanship of dwarves and elves is very good, but dwarves are pragmatists. The weapons they forged are generous and simple in appearance and are very practical. They can be said to be battlefield weapons and are suitable for a large number of military equipment.
The forging elves is a bit idealistic. Most of the weapons and armor made by elves are exquisite, and magic runes are engraved on these equipment, making them have various wonderful uses. Although these weapons and equipment are of high quality, they are expensive and not suitable for large-scale installations. Only elves who have low reproductive power and attach great importance to survival will be so luxurious.
The eight-sided sword that Qin Lun obtained in Iron Star Castle has two sets of magic runes on it. After Millaras' identification, one of them is called "Breaking Evil", which has a negative effect on dark and chaos creatures. The other group is called "Lighting", which can serve as early warning and lighting at night.
Joey held up the sword with his right hand and held the evil dagger tightly in his left hand, leading the way into the dark stairway corridor. "Da da da!" The footsteps of everyone seemed extremely clear on the stone steps, and the echo spread far to the end of the corridor.
Looking at the bright gray stone steps, the sound of their own footsteps echoed in their ears. Everyone has a sense of vicissitudes of transcending history, as if they have returned to the Tower of Durag, thousands of years ago.
"Maybe thousands of years ago, those Uvellen elves scholars went downstairs like us, sat down to a wide square desk, lit a candle, wrapped a blanket, and quietly read those heavy precious classics..." Milleras was a little dazed in front of him, looking at the stone steps under his feet in a daze.
"Hey, idiot, go quickly!" Just as Millas was feeling sad and kind, a cold voice came from behind. Seeing that he had no reaction, he simply pushed the Sun Elf Prince directly.
Milleras suddenly woke up from a mysterious sadness, and immediately looked at Idriya behind him with some annoyance, and followed Joey in front of him without saying a word.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Idriya asked Les beside her for some reason.
"I don't know!" Les shrugged and spread his hands, pouted and grimaced.
"He probably remembered the scene of this tower before. It was also made by elves. He might have felt something!" Lorraine behind Idriya and Less suddenly said in a muffled voice.
Idriya looked back at the young dwarf in surprise. Of course, she didn't know that this was Lorraine's feeling. When he was in Iron Star Castle, he was also deeply moved by the great achievements of his ancestors.
"Philal, thank you!" Milleras leaned against Joey and said sincerely.
"What do you thank me?" Joey was a little confused.
"If it weren't for your persistence, we might not have come down to see it!" Milleras said with emotion. "If I missed the underground library of Durag Tower because of fear of danger, I'm afraid I would regret it for the rest of my life."
Oh, this elf face actually has the artist's insights! A glimmer flashed in Joey's eyes, and a gentle smile appeared rarely.
From the two floors above the ground of the Tower of Durague, everyone had no contact with the undead, and they felt much more at ease. It seemed that the undead lich that Joey caught was not lying, and most of the undead in the tower had already scattered to the outside world.
However, at this moment, unexpectedly, two transparent figures suddenly emerged from the wall of the corridor, just in the middle of the team.
When the two transparent figures saw the stranger, they were a little stunned, but they still reacted faster than everyone else. They just sniffed and showed a ferocious expression, opened their mouths and roared silently, and rushed towards everyone with their teeth and claws.
"Ghost!" Everyone was in a hurry. They had thought of meeting the undead here, but the way these two ghosts appeared was a bit unexpected.
The ghost appeared just in the middle of the team. In front were Idriya and Less, behind were two teenagers Lorraine and El. In front were Milleras and Pike Noda, while Joey and Ilisten, who had the strongest force, were both at the front of the team, but were blocked by their own people.
"Go to die!" Compared to El, who was full of horror, the dwarf was even more brave. He picked up the battle axe in his hand and slashed at the ghost with an axe.
Unfortunately, his opponent was a ghost without entity. The dwarf battle axe directly slid through the ghost's body. Not only did it break into the air, but it also staggered Lorraine himself because of excessive force, and collided with Idriya who had just turned around.
The ghost rushed past Lorraine. The axe did not cause any damage to it, but it was not easy for the dwarf to pass by it. His face turned pale in an instant, and he lost all blood. His eyebrows were quickly covered with a layer of white frost, and his whole body began to tremble.
This is the characteristic of ghosts. This kind of undead creature is much stronger than ordinary undeads. No matter the level, it has the ability to transform virtually and reality. Moreover, due to the environment, most ghosts will be accompanied by attribute damage such as frost, curse, corrosion and plague. High-level ghosts also have various spiritual magic.
The ghost that Lorraine encountered obviously had the frost attribute, and it directly caused the dwarf to lose its self-control ability after a pounce. I am afraid that it will not be able to fight again in a short period of time.
One by one, the ghost who killed Lorraine turned and pounced on Idriya, while the other continued to pounce on El who was so scared that he could not move.
Idriya's eyes flashed, and she pushed away Lorraine in front of her. A silver light lit up on the huge double-edged battle axe. She stared at the rushing ghost, skillfully turned the battle axe, and used the long axe handle to pick the ghost.
The ghost's body rippled, and it obviously automatically transformed into a virtual body. However, this time it failed to resolve the female knight's attack. As soon as the axe handle was touched with the ghost, the silver light on it made the ghost burst out with a pungent white smoke, and it also lifted it up high and threw it towards Joey who was rushing towards him in a hurry.
Compared with the reckless Lorraine, the female knights still have a way to deal with ghosts. Lauvita's Templar Knights not only have melee skills, they also abuse the magical arts given by the goddess. Although Lauvita is a goddess belonging to the Chaos camp, she is a god recognized by Torrell's main world, and the magical arts given to believers are born to restrain the undead who are not recognized by the main world.
