The stone steps leading to the lower level of Durrag's Tower are located at the edge of the tower, spiraling down around the central floor of the tower, like a coiled python. There are windows on the walls of the stone steps above the ground, so that you can see the scene outside the tower.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the outside of Durag's Tower was already gray, and it was difficult to see the scenery clearly. Because this area used to see no sunlight all day long, let alone wild animals such as birds and beasts, even vegetation could not survive, so it was a veritable restricted area for life.
Because the Tower of Durag is close to the Yunwu Mountains, looking from the window, you can vaguely see the black shadows of the rugged rocks in the distance, setting off the silent and quiet environment here, which makes people feel desolate and anxious.
Ordinarily, the most reasonable solution now is to leave here as soon as possible. After all, the restricted area of life is not very big, as long as they leave the Yunwu Mountain Range for a certain distance, they will be out of the area controlled by the undead.
However, the eight-member team, including Paconoda, was led by Joey. Driven by the murderer's strong curiosity, the team had no choice but to move forward on the most dangerous path.
It's not that a shrewd person like Mileras hasn't questioned it in his heart. It's just that in view of Qin Lun's good performance before and saved the team many times, it's hard for the Japanese elf prince to say anything. What's more, he thinks that if he can get here on the ancient road, he can count himself as earning one more day of living. Before going to die, it seems that it is not bad to see the so-called forbidden zone of life.
Elistine, on the other hand, trusted Joey completely, and basically never considered that the other party would bring him to death. It is estimated that now that Joey is referring to a deer as a horse, she will show her original appearance. As for Lorraine, El, and Lace, they have no right to speak and can only follow everyone else's footsteps.
Idriya, the only female knight in the team who can be autonomous, is a believer in abusing the goddess. In her opinion, perhaps going deep into the forbidden land of the dead can be regarded as a way of self-abuse practice!
Everyone quickly came to the ground floor from the second floor of the tower where they were located. The ground floor of Durag's Tower is a circular hall, and the venue is empty. Due to the fact that Durag's Tower is shrouded in the cloud of death all year round, the water in the ground is transpiring, and the environment is cold and humid. If the high-level undead did not often carry out some reinforcement work on the tower, I am afraid that Durag's Tower would have become a ruin.
Even so, the corrosion of this huge tower is very serious, and a sour smell rushes straight into the nostrils. The walls of the hall looked like they were covered with a layer of dust powder, and the powder would fall down with the slightest movement. Compared with the Iron Star Fort that Qin Lun and others had seen before, it felt dilapidated.
Joey led everyone around the stone platform at the back of the hall. This stone platform was probably the reception desk of Durag's Tower, or the registration desk, and some fences that had turned into fossils could be seen around it.
Behind the stone platform is a straight downward staircase with a slope of forty-five degrees, which is a bit steep. However, it is quite spacious, and it should be the only way to go to the underground library at the beginning.
"Huh!" Joey took out the eight-sided edged sword of Thornthal from the storage space, and pulled it out of the scabbard. As soon as the eight-sided edged sword was pulled out from the scabbard, the blade emitted a soft light, illuminating the dark passage.
"Hehe, the forging process of the Seintal elves is really good, Feral, it seems that you have found a good sword!" Milleras glanced at Joey enviously.
"Wow!" came Lorraine and El's admiration from behind Joey, especially Lorraine, who was a dwarf, was even more salivating looking at this elf sword.
Dwarves and elves have good forging techniques, but dwarves are pragmatists. The weapons they forge 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 process of the elves is a bit idealistic. Most of the weapons and armor made by the elves are exquisite, and they will also engrave magic runes on these equipment to make them have various wonderful uses. Although these weapons and equipment are of high quality, they are expensive and are not suitable for mass deployment. Only the elves with low reproductive capacity and high emphasis on survivability will be so extravagant.
The eight-sided edged sword that Qin Lun obtained in Iron Star Castle has two sets of magic runes on it. After being identified by Mileras, one of them is called "Breaking Evil", which has a restraining effect on creatures of the Dark and Chaos systems. The other group is called "night light", which can play an early warning and lighting role at night.
With his right hand holding the edge sword high and his left hand holding the evil dagger tightly, Joey led the way into the dark stairway. "Da da da!" Everyone's footsteps sounded very clear on the stone steps, and the echo spread far to the end of the corridor.
Looking at the bright gray stone steps, and the sound of my own footsteps echoing in my ears, everyone has a sense of transcending the vicissitudes of history, as if returning to the Tower of Durage thousands of years ago.
"Perhaps thousands of years ago, those Uverren elf scholars went down the stone steps like us, sat in front of the large square desk, lit a candle, wrapped in a blanket, and quietly read those heavy and precious classics ..." Mileras was a little dazed, staring at the stone steps under his feet in a daze.
"Hey, idiot, let's go!" Just when Mileras was feeling sad, a cold voice came from behind him. Seeing that he didn't respond, he simply pushed the sun elf prince.
Mileras suddenly woke up from an inexplicable sadness, and immediately glanced at Idriya behind him with some annoyance, and followed Joey in front without saying a word.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Idriya asked Lais beside her inexplicably.
"I don't know!" Lais shrugged and spread her hands, pouted and made a grimace.
"He probably remembered the previous scene of this tower. It was also built by elves. He may have some feelings!" Lorraine behind Idriya and Lais said suddenly.
Idriya looked back at the young dwarf in surprise, of course she didn't know that it was Lorraine's sentiment. When he was in Iron Star Castle, he was filled with emotion at the great achievements of his ancestors.
"Filar, thank you!" Mileras leaned against Joey and said sincerely.
"Thank me for what?" Joey was a little confused.
"If it weren't for your insistence, I'm afraid we wouldn't come down to take a look!" Mileras said with emotion, "If I missed visiting the underground library of Durag's Tower because of fear of danger, I'm afraid I will regret it. lifelong."
Oh, this elf boy actually has the feeling of an artist! There was a flash of light in Joey's eyes, and he rarely showed an amiable smile.
From the ground two floors of Durag's Tower to the basement floor, no one encountered any undead, and immediately felt a lot of peace of mind. It seems that the undead lich that Joey caught was not lying, and most of the undead in the tower have been scattered to the outside world.
However, at this moment, unexpectedly, two transparent figures suddenly emerged from the wall of the corridor, right in the middle of the team.
The two transparent figures were a little dazed when they first saw a stranger, but they still reacted faster than everyone else. Just sniffing his nose, he showed a ferocious expression, opened his mouth and roared silently, and rushed towards everyone with his teeth and claws.
"Ghosts!" Everyone was in a hurry. They thought they would encounter undead here, but the way these two ghosts appeared was a bit unexpected.
The place where the ghost appeared was right in the middle of the line, with Idriya and Lace in the front, and Lorraine and El in the back. A little further ahead were Mileras and Paconoda, and Joey and Elistine, who were the most powerful, were at the forefront of the team, but were blocked by their own people.
"Go to hell!" Compared to the terrified Al, the dwarf was braver, raised the battle ax in his hand, and slashed at the ghost with one axe.
It's a pity that his opponent is a disembodied ghost, and the dwarven battle ax slides directly through the ghost's body. Not only did he cut through the air, but he also staggered Lorraine himself because of too much force, and bumped into Idriya who had just turned around.
The ghost swooped past Lorraine, and the ax did no harm to it, but the dwarf had a hard time being passed by the ghost. His face turned pale in an instant, completely losing all color, and a layer of hoarfrost was quickly covered between his eyes and eyebrows, and his whole body began to tremble.
This is the characteristic of ghosts. This kind of undead creature is much stronger than ordinary undead, regardless of its level, it has the ability to transform between virtual and real. Moreover, due to the environment, most ghosts will have 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 the dwarf lost his self-control ability in a single pounce, and he might not be able to fight anymore in a short time.
The two ghosts went one after the other, and the one that killed Lorraine turned and pounced on Idriya, while the other continued to pounce on El, who was too scared to move.
Idriya's eyes flashed, and she pushed Lorraine away in front of her. A silver light lit up on the huge double-edged battle axe. She stared at the phantom, and deftly turned the battle ax with the handle of the long axe. Challenge the ghost.
The figure of this ghost fluctuated for a while, and it obviously transformed into an incorporeal body automatically. However, this time it failed to dispel the female knight's attack. As soon as the ax handle touched the ghost, the silver light on it caused the ghost to emit a puff of pungent white smoke, and it picked it up high and threw it towards Joey who was rushing forward.
Compared with the reckless Lorraine, the female knight still has a way to deal with ghosts. The Templar Knights of Lovita not only have melee skills, they also have divine spells bestowed by the Goddess of Abuse. Although Ms. Lovita is a goddess belonging to the Chaos camp, she is a deity recognized by the main world of Toril after all, and the divine arts bestowed on believers are inherently restraining undead that are not recognized by the main world.
"Get out of the way!" Joey yelled angrily, a crystal clear pentagram array flashed under his feet, and finally rushed over from the front of the team, catching up with the ghost who had just been picked up by Idriya from the middle of the tunnel, exuding With a single sweep of the bright eight-sided edged sword, the ghost was cut into two pieces.
"Oh..." The ghost roared, and after landing, the two bodies automatically converged and slowly merged into one, but the transparent body was much darker than before. Obviously, the "evil breaking" rune of the elf's edge sword did great damage to it.
"Die!" Joey's figure rolled like the wind, and he stabbed the evil dagger into the ghost's body expressionlessly.
"Woo..." As soon as the evil dagger stabbed into the ghost's body, it couldn't help screaming, as if it had encountered some kind of natural enemy, its figure quickly dimmed, and was finally absorbed by the dagger like a straw.
After absorbing this ghost, the black awn on the sinful dagger became more and more shiny, as if the rain was coming after a long drought. Joey could even feel the cheers of Guilty Dagger, as if a child got his favorite ice cream.
"Oh..." The other ghost that was attached to El seemed to have heard the wailing of his companion, a trace of panic and hatred appeared on the transparent human face, it quickly drifted away from El, and hid directly into the wall of the corridor with a swoop. , Let everyone look at each other in blank dismay, feeling helpless for a while.
"El, El!" Lorraine shook the motionless body of the magic apprentice, and the mournful cry made everyone's hearts sink.
