Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 66 Adventure and Awakening of the Ruins

It has been a few days since Baron and the others left. Ilya is very happy recently, because she can practice sword every day, which is something her father never allowed before. Her sword skills have surpassed those in the castle in just a few days. Ordinary soldiers who don't use swords very much.

She just wanted to practice with the sword, but Sean always let her use the sword and shield together.Sean sees the sword as a warrior's companion and the shield as his life.

Ilya regretted choosing Sean as her swordsmanship teacher.

"Be careful, I'm going to attack" Sean yelled at Ilya.

"Come on." Elijah replied.

Sean took a blunt iron sword and slashed at Ilya from the right. Ilya bent down to avoid the sword and was knocked to the ground by the shield in Sean's hand.

Sean stretched out his hand and pulled her up from the ground, and said angrily, "How many times have I told you not to think about dodging the enemy's attack, you might just fall into his trap this time if you dodged it. You have to make good use of it." The shield in your hand is the only one you can trust, your sword may hurt you, but it won't..."

Ilya had heard Sean say this countless times, but she wanted to dodge for some reason. She said impatiently, "If the troll attacks you, will you use your shield to block it?"

Sean was silent for a while, then replied, "That depends on how big a troll it is."

"What about the ten-meter-tall giants in the Extreme North Province? They smashed at you with trees." Ilya asked again.

Sean was silent for a long time, then said, "Let's continue."

In the following training, Sean no longer blamed her for not using the shield, and later she threw the shield aside.

Ilya, who only held a sword, felt that she was much more flexible, as light as a dancer.

After dodging Sean's continuous attacks, she took the opportunity to stab the blunt sword at Sean. Sean slapped the shield in his left hand forcefully and sent her blunt sword flying. She felt as if her wrist was also sprained.

Ilya picked up the blunt sword on the ground, and felt that she couldn't use the strength to use it.

Sean noticed it, and said, "Let me take you to Mr. Yamor to have a look."

Elijah hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

Under the leadership of Sean, Ilya walked into Yamor's room, and in the room she saw a familiar man lying on the hospital bed.

He was skinny, his eyes were closed, and short black hair had just grown out on his head. He was covered with burn scars all over his body, and his body was terribly hot. From such a distance, Ilya could feel his body exuding an astonishing aura. heat.

Amor was a bald old man. When he saw Sean and Ilya coming in, he put down the book in his hand, looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"

After Sean and Yamor made it clear, Yamor gave Ilia a bottle of ointment and told her to apply it on her wrists sooner or later, and asked her not to train again for a few days.

Before Yiliya left the room, she looked back at the man on the hospital bed. She really felt as if she had seen him before, but after thinking about it, she might as well ask him after he woke up...

……

According to the clues provided by the Marquis of Foss, Baron, Hamer, and Weber spent a few days in a carriage to arrive at Wild Stone City in Winterfell Province.

"According to the information your adoptive father asked someone to find for us, if you want to break the curse on us, you need to find a cave in the barren hills outside the deserted stone city. The temple we are looking for is in that cave." Weber looked at the Marquis of Foss A piece of animal skin given said.

He doesn't know many characters, but he can barely recognize all the characters on this animal skin.

"Then let's go find it now." Hamer stretched after getting off the carriage.

"Baron?" Weber looked at Baron who was standing there in a daze and called out.

When Baron heard Weber's voice, he trembled like a sleeping person woken up by fright.

"Sorry, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly. I was thinking about something before." Baron said shyly, touching his bald head.

"I mean, we're going to look for that cave outside the city now. Don't worry about Rhodes. Doctor Yamor said he's out of danger, and it's only a matter of time before he wakes up," Weber comforted.

"That's right, I have known Dr. Yamor since I was a child. He is the best doctor I have seen in so many years." Hammer echoed.

"Then let's go." Baron said absently.

After leaving Huangshi City, the three walked south along the road outside the city.

"How can we find that cave with so many mountains around?" Hamer said, looking at the mountains beside the road.

There is a continuous mountain range in the southwest of Winterfell Province, which is a natural barrier for the Nord Kingdom to defend against the attack of the Roman Empire.Winterfell Fortress was built on the back of the mountain. In everyone's opinion, it is far more difficult for the army to climb the mountain and attack the Nord Kingdom than to attack Winterfell Fortress directly.

Not only did the food supplies fail to keep up, the Roman Empire also could not provide enough thick clothes for ordinary soldiers so that they could not withstand the severe cold on the mountains.

All the nobles of the Roman Empire who climbed the mountains to attack the Nord Kingdom ended in disastrous defeat.

"The pattern on my body can sense it, and it seems to be guiding me. It shouldn't be wrong to follow the feeling." Weber said.

After three or four hours, three people appeared in front of a huge cave, and two huge stone pillars were made of stones outside the cave.

"Is this here?" Hamer looked at the cave and said to himself.

"You'll know if you go in and have a look." Baron replied absent-mindedly.

"Go in tomorrow. It's getting late today. We'll spend the night in front of this cave tonight. We'll go in tomorrow morning after recovering our energy." Weber looked up at the sky, the sun had almost completely disappeared in the sky, the dark night will come.

"I think it's okay." Hammer nodded, "I don't want to go such a long way again. I would have bought three horses if I knew it."

"It's useless to buy it, I don't know how to ride a horse." Weber replied while taking out the pot and food from the bag.

"I can teach you." Hamer found a place and started to help light the fire.

"Then I'll teach you how to cook?" Weber asked with a smile.

"Uh...forget it." Hammer successfully created a fire. "Give me the kettle, and I'll find a nearby stream to fill some water."

"Hurry up, I'm still waiting for you to bring the water back so I can cook." Weber handed Hammer three large kettles.

After seeing Hammer going away with the kettle, Weber picked up some branches and piled them not far from the fire. He glanced at Baron who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and sighed.

It didn't take long for Hamer to return here with a full kettle.

"The water in the nearby creek is so sweet." Hamer handed the water bottle to Weber.

"By the way, what's for dinner?" Hammer asked again.

"Corn beef soup and bread," Weber replied while cutting the corned beef into small pieces with the sharp dagger.

This dagger was obtained from that priest. Apart from its sharpness, he felt that this dagger seemed to have a soul?

"Eat this again?" Hammer sounded a little unhappy.

"Why don't you come and do it yourself?" Weber turned around and asked with a smile.

"Forget it, let's eat this." Hammer sighed, since he knew Weber, he ate this almost every day, no matter how delicious it was, he was a bit tired of eating it.

"I think this dagger seems a bit strange. I want to find a master appraiser to appraise it." Weber said while waiting for the corned beef soup to be cooked.

"There's no need to spend this money. You can appraise it yourself, and it's just a broken dagger. You don't need it at all. And you said that you will go home to retire after the curse on your body is lifted. You should keep the money. If You don't dare to give it to me after retirement, I'm not afraid at all." Hammer said with his eyes closed, leaning on a tree.

"Okay, but before I retire, I want to go to Winterfell Stronghold to see it. After we finish the curse, we will go back to Ebony City and bring Rhodes with us, and then we will go to Winterfell Stronghold together. I can still find him on the way." He asked for cooking skills, and I plan to open a tavern after I go back, and I should be able to live well with my cooking skills." While talking about Weber, he looked forward to his future retirement life.

"Why do you suddenly want to retire?" Baron came back to his senses and asked.

"It's not because I'm old, and the adventurous life is too dangerous. For example, we killed the necromancer, but we were cursed by his leftovers. I want to live a few more years, maybe I can find a woman who can take care of the family to marry and have children." Weber said with a smile on his face.

"Why marry and have children? Isn't it okay to have a daughter?" Baron asked again. His focus is generally different from that of normal people.
"It's all right." Weber smiled, and he sniffed it with his nose. "The soup is ready to eat."

Hammer stood up and scooped a large bowl from the pot with a bowl, picked up a piece of bread and sat back in his original position.

He took a sip of the soup first, and couldn't help admiring, "Although I feel unappetizing every time I hear corned beef making soup, it still tastes so delicious every time. After you retire, I can only be as white as before." I'm eating bread. But don't think too much, I just praised your craftsmanship, nothing else, you can retire with peace of mind."

Weber smiled and ate without saying a word...

……

The night passed quickly.

As usual, Baron woke up early in the morning, not because he didn't want to sleep, but because he had too many things on his mind and couldn't sleep.

He took his greataxe and a whetstone, and began to sharpen his weapon.

This ax has been with him for many years, and he has no intention of changing the weapon if there is no accident.

While sharpening the axe, he began to lose control of his thoughts.

When Rhodes was born, the chief maester predicted that he would not survive the 16-year-old winter. Seeing that winter was almost over, I thought his prediction had failed. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen at the end of winter. Teleport him somewhere else in front of me.

If I ever meet that woman again, I'll break her neck.

Baron sighed. He didn't know if Rhodes could really survive as the doctor said. If the chief bachelor was as he said, his prediction would not be wrong. Dragons will return from the north of the world, from beyond the world barrier.

Although the king has taken a lot of countermeasures, he wants to make the Roman Empire lose its vitality to deal with the Nords before the return of the dragon, so that the Nords can put most of their strength in the north. It is said that the king even wants to go out in person next year .Even if their strategy is successful, the return of the dragon will be a devastating disaster for the Nord Kingdom and even everyone on the continent.

If the Maester's prophecy does come true, does the one about me also come true?Originally, I didn't believe his prophecy at all, but ever since Rhodes discovered the animal skin scroll that recorded an extremely powerful combat skill from that tomb...

That combat skill is simply in line with the prophecy about me, could it really be my destiny?
Baron looked at the rising sun and sighed.

"Woke up so early?" The sunlight on Weber's face woke him up too.

"I think we'd better set off earlier. No one knows how long we'll stay in that cave, or whether there's enough food." Baron stopped thinking after hearing Weber's voice.

"The food should be enough. I also think we should leave early." Weber nodded. "I'll go and warm up yesterday's soup. Let's go in after breakfast..."

……

After eating and drinking, the three of Baron walked into the mysterious cave.

Walking into the cave, there was a passage of unknown distance, and the passage was pitch black. Weibo took out the torch he had prepared before, lit it, and walked in the front.

"As a stalker in the team, pathfinding is my job." Weber turned his head and smiled.

Neither Baron nor Hamer had any objections. The two of them were self-aware. If they walked in the front, they would definitely step on some mechanism buttons that shouldn't be stepped on. This situation was unlikely to happen to the experienced Weber.

"Be careful." Hammer reminded.

Weber smiled and didn't say much, and proceeded cautiously in the passage.

The three walked for about 10 minutes, and a wide hall appeared in front of them.

In the middle of the hall is a huge statue of a creature with bat wings on its back and horns on its head.

"What kind of creature is this?" Hammer asked curiously, his voice echoing in the hall.

"It should be some demon god." Weber said.

"This should be the Vampire Lord." Balon recognized the statue. Before he became an adventurer, a group of maesters helped him make up all the known strange creature shapes, names and weaknesses.

The vampire lords were the first few humans who were infected with the ancestor vampire fever. They were powerful, and the later vampires were far inferior to them.

"What shall we do next?" Hammer asked again, there was no other door in the hall except the passage they came in.

Baron took out the slate he was carrying with him from his arms. There were strange patterns on the slate, as well as his and Weber's names.

As time passed, the pattern on the slate also appeared on him and Weber, and he and Weber had to believe even more that the words on the slate might come true, and if they didn't lift the curse within three months, they would die suddenly.

Thinking of this, Baron smiled disdainfully again.If he died because of the curse of the slate, wouldn't the chief maester's prophecy fail?
Weber went to the walls around the hall and knocked around, wanting to see if there were hidden doors or the like.

"It's useless. Even if there is a hidden door, shouldn't they block it with a thick stone door according to their habits? You can't tell the difference." Baron said, he felt that Weber's actions were just in vain strength.

"Then what should we do?" Weber stopped listening.

Baron walked around the huge statue and found a break in the base. He put the stone slab on it and compared it, and found that it fit perfectly, so he directly stuffed the slate in without thinking.

After stuffing the stone slab in, the huge statue shattered from it, and he quickly took a few steps back.

He didn't want to be hit by falling gravel.

"It seems to be a seal. You put that stone slab on it and it should have broken the seal. The sealed monster will come out immediately." Weber said while holding his nose. After the statue shattered, there was flying smoke and dust all over the sky. .

"If he dares to run out, I'll chop him with an axe." Baron sneered while holding the giant ax tightly in both hands.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Baron saw that there was actually a downward passage at the base of the statue, and this passage was revealed after the statue shattered.

"Let's go down." Baron climbed up the pile of rubble and prepared to walk into the passage in the base.

"Wait, I'm still at the front, there may be many traps inside." Weber shouted loudly.

Baron felt that there was nothing wrong with Weber's proposal, so he let him continue to walk at the forefront.

Going down the stairs of the passage, Baron and the others entered a corridor with many murals carved on the walls.

"Who built this cave?" Wei Bo looked at the murals on the wall by the dim light of the torch. It seemed that there was a story about a man with wings fighting around.

"Whoever he is, we are here to lift the curse, not to study history." Baron said aloud.

Weber nodded, instead of continuing to study the murals, he continued walking along the corridor.

After walking to the end, a closed stone door appeared in front of them.

"Let me break it open with a hammer." Hamer held the hammer eagerly.

"No, let me pry open the door." Webb handed the torch to Hammer, and then he began to fumble in his package, and after a while he pulled out an iron bar and a wire.

Then insert the iron bar and wire into the keyhole on the stone door, and then put your ear on the stone door and listen carefully.

"Can you still pick the lock?" Baron asked curiously.

"Shh!" Weber made a silent gesture to Baron, "Stand back to the two sides, there will be a mechanism as soon as the door opens."

Baron followed Weber's instructions and stood against the wall of the corridor. After Weber opened the door, he quickly ran to stand by the wall, and a huge ax came out from inside.

The wind brought by the ax with great force made Baron's scalp tingle.

"You can go in." Weber said after the giant ax stopped.

The giant ax is connected to the ceiling, and when the door is pushed open, it will fly out like a small ball that verifies the conservation of energy in physics class, but the person behind the door happens to be standing at the position where the gravitational potential energy is the smallest and the kinetic energy is the largest.

There is only a small room behind the stone door, and there is an iron fence on the other side of the small room.

"Is there a mechanism for this?" Hammer asked.

Weber shook his head to show that he didn't know either. He stepped forward to tap and tap, then turned his head and said, "Baron, use your ax to chop down this iron fence."

Hearing Weber's words, Baron remembered Rhodes in the tomb last time, and asked him to use an ax to split the fence made of ebony rock. The only gap on his ax was left there.

Without thinking too much, Baron still used all his strength to smash the ax against the iron fence.

It may be that the iron fence has been made for too long, so it is much more fragile than Baron imagined. His ax splitting the iron fence is as easy as cutting human muscle.With two axes in succession, he split a height high enough for humans to pass through.

He rubbed the steel tomahawk in his hands as if touching a lover's skin.

"Then I'll keep going." Weber saw Baron split the iron fence and walked forward.

Balon and Hammer followed not far behind Weber, and there was a narrow corridor ahead.

"Be careful, there are many organs here." Weber reminded.

He stopped suddenly, pointing to a row of small holes on the ceiling in front of him, "See, when we walk over here, arrows will shoot out of the holes, even if you are wearing iron armor, you will be shot into a sieve at such a close distance .”

"So what should we do?" Hamer asked.

"Don't worry, let me think about it." Weber stared at the front with a thoughtful expression.

"You throw your hammer there, right under those holes." Weber said, pointing to the stone floor ahead.

Hammer took off the war hammer from his back and threw it over according to Weber's instructions.

"No response." Hammer said with a puzzled look.

"It's not heavy enough, Baron, you throw your ax on it." Weber said again, "Your hammer is only a few kilograms, less than the weight of a normal person, so the mechanism has not been triggered."

After Baron heard it, he threw his giant ax on it without hesitation.

The crisp sound of the ax hitting the warhammer was echoed in the corridor.

"Be gentle, don't smash my old buddy..." Before Hamer finished speaking, countless arrows shot out from the holes in the ceiling.

Hearing the sound of the arrow rubbing against the air, Baron felt his bald head feel a little chilly.

"You can go there now." After Weber finished speaking, he walked over and picked up an arrow on the ground. "It's just an ordinary poisoned arrow, not the enchanted armor-piercing arrow. Otherwise, you can make a fortune."

"It's good that we can go out safely." Hammer bent down and picked up his warhammer.

Baron also picked up his giant axe, and touched the scratches left by the hammer with a bit of distress.

"Now I know it hurts? I threw it so hard just now. You must know that my hammer is made of meteorite." Hammer sneered.

"This is the eighth time you have told me that your hammer is made of meteorite," Baron said.

"Let's move on." Weber stopped Hamer, who was about to continue to taunt.

After leaving this corridor, they came to a hall.

"Pay attention to the lighted oil lamps on the top of the hall. If we go under them, the oil lamps will definitely fall off, and then we will know what the roast suckling pig feels like." Weber pointed to the oil lamps hanging on the top of the hall.

Hammer was still a little nervous when he heard it, and followed Weber closely, afraid that he would accidentally walk under the oil lamp. There were quite a few oil lamps on the ceiling, and there was a huge chandelier in the middle.

And Baron didn't panic at all. He was never afraid of fire since he was a child. Once when he was very young, he climbed a chimney in a castle and accidentally fell down into the burning fireplace. Except for breaking his leg No other injuries were sustained.

Being nearly immune to flames or high temperatures is a natural talent in his family.

Except for that silly boy Rhodes, his mother's bloodline polluted the family's bloodline, and he will find an opportunity to light his room while he is sleeping to see if he can awaken this talent.

He remembered that in the history of the family, there was only one person who did not have the talent to inherit the family like Rhodes, but after he was burned by the flames, he still awakened this talent, but the temperature of the flame that burned him was a bit high, even if the talent was awakened, he could not Complete immunity.

Barron followed Webb and Hamer across the hall, and they came to a door.

"How do you open this door without a lock?" Hamer asked while standing in front of the door, looking at Weber.

"At a time like this, it's up to you to use the hammer in your hand." Baron smiled.

"Don't!" Weber said hastily, "We don't know what's behind the door, it's dangerous to just go there."

"Then what?" Hammer asked again.

Weber turned to observe the decoration and structure of the hall carefully.

"It seems to be related to the big oil lamp in the middle." Weber thought for a while and said, "We need to find someone to pull it to the ground, or let it hit the ground."

"It's too dangerous, there's so much oil in it, and it's still burning." Hamer said, looking at the oil lamp.

"Let me go." Baron took off his clothes, and handed the clothes and equipment to Hamer.

Although he is not afraid of fire, his clothing and weaponry do.

"You don't need to go, I can try to hit it with a throwing knife." Weber said.

"The top is connected by a steel cable, even if you hit it with a throwing knife, you won't be able to hit it." Baron glanced at Weber speechlessly.

I took off my pants and you tell me this?

"Let me go, I'm not afraid of fire." Baron turned around and walked under the huge oil lamp in the middle of the hall.

Just like what Weber said, when he walked under the oil lamp, the iron chain of the huge oil lamp suddenly broke, and the oil lamp fell downwards, and then other oil lamps also fell down, the whole hall was turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the door of the hall was also opened. Webb and Hammer quickly ducked behind the door.

Baron was drenched in lamp oil, and his body instantly became greasy. Before he had time to think about it, the flame in the oil lamp ignited the lamp oil on his body, and instantly he became a burning man.

Bathing in the flames, Baron only felt comfortable, just like taking a hot bath, try standing in the fire next time to take a bath?

"Come here if you can still move." Harmer shouted loudly. He also knew that Baron was not afraid of flames. He still remembered the desperate expression of a mage who was proficient in flames when he faced Baron.

After Baron heard it, he ran towards the direction of Hammer's shout.

Looking at Baron who was covered in flames, Hammer couldn't help asking, "Is it comfortable?"

"Except for a little oil on my body, I'm fine. It's more comfortable than soaking in hot springs." "Fire Man" Baron said calmly.

"How long are you going to burn?" Weber asked.

"I don't know, wait until the oil on your body burns out, or you will feel greasy and uncomfortable." Baron replied.

"It's best to hurry up, we seem to have reached the end of the entire ruins, and there may be a battle later." Weber reminded.

"What battle?" Hammer asked.

Weber pointed to several large coffins not far away and said, "It should come out soon."

As soon as the words fell, the coffin lid was pushed open, and several ghouls with dry skin and helmets crawled out of the coffin.

"These ghouls seem to be more powerful than the ones we encountered last time." Baron said after removing the oil from his eyelids.

"Are you scared?" Hammer asked with a smile.

"Scared, exactly four in total, one for me and Webb, two for you." Baron replied.

After he finished speaking, he rushed towards the nearest ghoul, and now not only was he burning with flames, but even his ax was burning with flames.

Facing the rushing Baron, a strange roar came from the mouth of the ghoul.

"what!"

Baron blocked the giant ax in front of him, and he took a few steps back.

"Why are there still ghouls who are proficient in the way of battle cry?" Baron complained.

"Stop talking, the one in front of me can set you on fire just like you." Hamer was beaten back by a ghoul with a burning flame on his body.

And Weber was holding a dark green short sword in one hand, and the unusually sharp dagger in the other hand, fighting with the remaining two ghouls on equal footing.

"Why are you so powerful?" Hammer looked at Weber and asked in surprise.

"They seem to be very afraid of the dagger in my hand." Weber replied.

"Hammer, let's switch opponents. I'll deal with yours, and you will deal with mine." Baron shouted loudly.

"Okay!" Hammer agreed without thinking.

These ghouls were all about the same strength, and it was the same for Baron to deal with any of them, but he saw that Hamer had a bit of difficulty dealing with the ghoul with flames on his body.

Which ancestor is buried here?
Baron was thinking about this question while fighting the flame ghoul in front of him.

The flaming ghoul waved the two-handed giant sword at Baron indiscriminately. The strength of the ghouls was far inferior to when they were alive, whether it was physical fitness or fighting skills.

Baron first kept parrying the ghoul's attack at first, and then found an opportunity to strike the ghoul horizontally with an ax and split it in half, allowing it to sleep forever. The total amount was less than a minute.

This ancestor was too weak. Judging from his figure, he probably died just before reaching adulthood, Baron thought as he looked at the flaming ghoul lying on the ground.

Baron didn't think about it any further, and went to help Weber with the giant axe. He also clearly felt that the two ghouls seemed to be very afraid of the dagger in Weber's hand, and they didn't even want the weapon in their hands to touch the dagger.

"Help me first!" Hamer shouted loudly. The ghoul in front of him shouted like he didn't want money. The ghoul who was also holding a warhammer crushed and beat him.

Baron smiled after seeing Hammer's misery, and when the ghoul had just finished using the battle cry, he threw the dark golden ax at his waist over, and the ghoul knocked the throwing ax away with a hammer, and At this time, Baron rushed in front of the ghoul.

Swinging the huge axe to hit it on the head, the ghoul had no time to parry.

With a stabbing sound, half of the ghoul's head and most of its shoulders were chopped off by Baron's axe.

"It only has a battle cry, why can't you beat it with such a slow reaction?" Baron mocked Hamer.

"Try to be yelled at by it seven or eight times in a row. I feel like I'm floating now." Hamer said, supporting his body with a warhammer.

Baron smiled and did not continue to taunt. He joined the battle on Weber's side. Originally, Weber could suppress the two ghouls with that dagger. After he joined, the battle ended soon.

"Is this the end?" Hammer panted while supporting his body with the hammer.

"No, I feel that the imprint on my body hasn't disappeared yet," Weber said.

"Is there a secret door that you haven't discovered?" Baron asked.

"No, our final opponent must be the statue we saw at the entrance." Weber replied.

"Look slowly, I'm a little dizzy and sit down for a while." Hammer walked to a sculpture and sat on the base of the sculpture.

There are two of these sculptures in this room, both of which are strange-looking bats.

Baron looked at the sculpture next to Hammer and found it familiar. It seemed that a bachelor had helped him popularize this creature before leaving home. It seemed to be called a gargoyle?

While Baron was still remembering, the stone shell on the exterior of the sculpture cracked, scattering countless dust.

"Ah!" cried Hamer in horror.

Weber rushed into the smoke and saw that Hammer was fighting with two huge strange-looking bats with his warhammer. He rushed forward to help Hammer.

"This is a gargoyle. They are almost immune to general physical damage. It is best to use frost magic." Baron shouted.

Weapons such as daggers and long swords are very limited in dealing with gargoyles. The best effect is a warhammer like Hammer, and Baron's giant ax is actually not bad.

Baron suddenly felt that there was a fatal danger. He turned his head and saw the vampire lord, who looked exactly like the statue at the entrance, standing not far behind him with a red one-handed long sword, facing him Approach slowly.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the vampire lord rushed directly to Baron.

Its speed was very fast, and it appeared in front of Baron in an instant. Baron inspired the power contained in his blood, covering his body and the giant ax in his hand with a layer of flame.

"I didn't expect to meet you nasty bugs just after I woke up." The vampire lord slashed the long sword at Baron with all his strength.

Baron used his door-like giant ax as a shield to easily block it.

"What's the matter? You've been locked up here for a long time and you're hungry?" Baron mocked. He felt that the force from the giant ax was much weaker than he had imagined before.

Then Baron turned from defense to offense, and slashed the flaming giant ax at the head of the vampire lord.

The vampire lord was obviously very afraid of Baron's attack, so he flapped his wings and retreated to distance himself from Baron.

Baron saw a light blue ball of light rising from its empty left hand.

not good!This old bat uses illusion.

Baron is not afraid if the vampire lord uses destruction magic, but he is still a little afraid of the weird illusion magic.

Baron felt that he was very angry now. He felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, and the whole world turned blood red.

Damn it!It is actually the most restrained anger technique for me. If it uses the fear technique, I can still save most of the negative effects.

He couldn't control his actions at all now, he saw that the vampire lord was standing all around him, and he frantically swung his giant ax to attack the phantom he saw.

This kind of attack is very violent, but it is disorderly, and it consumes a lot of physical strength.

The vampire lord floated in mid-air with the blood-colored long sword and quietly watched Baron wasting his energy facing the air below. A confusion spell that makes them mad at the visions they have created.

Then wait until their physical strength is insufficient, and then harvest their lives with their own speed.

Baron tried to calm himself down. At this time, he felt that defense was more beneficial than active attack, but he felt that his body was out of control, and there was a strange feeling that forced him to attack continuously.

That old bat must have been mixed in with these illusions and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack me. These illusions approaching me may be its real body. If I am careless, I may be seriously injured directly. Since I can't control myself to defend Clean up all these illusions.

With this in mind, Baron continued to swing the giant ax vigorously at the surrounding air.

On the other side, Weber and Hammer are entangled by two gargoyles. Gargoyles are very powerful alchemy creatures. Using rocks as a carrier can be immune to ordinary physical and magical attacks, and they are relatively agile with wings. It can flap its wings to avoid attacks with actions that normal people can't imagine.

Although Hamer, who was holding a warhammer, was able to hurt the two gargoyles, his attack speed was slow due to the heavy weight of the warhammer. After fighting for a long time, only a ring of cracks was left on one of the gargoyles.

The vampire lord used the illusion on Baron again, and decided to deal with Hammer and Weber first.

"I'm entangled with these two gargoyles by myself, you go to deal with that humanoid bat." Hammer roared loudly.

"Then you hold on." After finishing speaking, Weber took the dagger and dagger and took the initiative to meet the vampire lord.

The vampire lord sneered, he likes to deal with stalkers the most, he hates the plate warriors the most, and the barbarian berserker who fell under its illusion is the second he hates.

It flapped its wings and arrived in front of Weber at a speed that ordinary people could not detect with the naked eye, and stabbed at him with the bloody long sword. This is its innate ability. Although it can only be used occasionally, it is extremely powerful against a stalker who is good at speed like this in front of him. Most of them can be instantly killed.

Plate armor warriors and berserkers are both rough-skinned and thick-skinned, just like the savage just now, the muscles on his body are like rocks. Even if they don't react, they may not be seriously injured by this blow. Go berserk.

However, the result was a little different from what he had imagined. When the short stalker in front of him was about to touch his muscles, he quickly split its long sword with the dagger in his hand, and even Its long sword was broken.

This long sword has followed it for countless years and sucked the blood of countless strong men. Although the endless years have made it not as hard and sharp as before, it is still much better than the steel swords made by those masters.

Weber felt a little terrified of the vampire lord's attack just now. In fact, he didn't fully see its movements. It was only because of his accumulated experience in countless battles over the past few decades that he barely blocked that blow.

This kind of action belongs to his muscle memory, and it doesn't need the brain to react at all. The fighting experience left behind by those ghouls is also like this.

Taking advantage of the moment when the vampire lord was stunned, Weber quickly stabbed it with the dark green dagger in his right hand, and the dagger easily cut the skin on its chest.

After pulling away, the vampire lord looked at the wound on his chest.

hateful!After sealing me for so long, I almost forgot how to fight. I used to not be in a daze when fighting.

Weber heaved a sigh of relief when he saw a wound on the vampire lord's body cut by his dark green dagger.

I just need to delay it now, the poison smeared on the sword will make it weaker and weaker, and its movements will become slower and slower.

Weber held both weapons on guard and looked at the Vampire Lord not far away. He felt that there was no need to take the initiative to attack. Although fierce fighting would speed up the onset of the toxin, a slight mistake in a fight with such an opponent could result in his death.

The vampire lord didn't take the initiative to attack either, it was waiting for itself to be able to use its talent again.

It would be great if he could use his talents as soon as he came out of the seal, so he wouldn't have to sneak up on that Nord savage like he did just now.

It feels that the magic power in its body has recovered a little, and it can use a magic again.

A light blue ball of light appeared in its left hand, and it held up the half-cut bloody long sword with its right hand. It was about to use its talent at the moment it used the fear technique, and it appeared in front of the stalker and cut it off. His throat sucked his blood again.

"It was very interesting to play with me before!" The vampire lord heard the barbarian roar before him.

Then it heard the sound of weapons breaking through the air.

Out of the corner of its eye, it noticed that the barbarian actually threw his big ax over.

Baron threw the ax with the greatest force, which also made the giant ax fly very fast, and he still shouted after throwing it out.

The vampire lord felt as if he was locked and couldn't move at all. He subconsciously used his talent to avoid the whirling giant axe.

The magic just now was forcibly dismissed without using it, and it was backlashed by magic

Baron sneered, took off a dark golden throwing ax from his waist, and threw it at the vampire lord. This throwing ax was the most valuable piece of equipment in his body. It was extremely sharp and could carry his flames. Inject into the enemy's wound and explode.

In fact, Baron thought that what he was best at was not chopping people with an axe, but throwing an axe. No matter how big the ax was, he could hit the target accurately.

After the dark golden ax flew out, it hit the Vampire Monarch's head with a sonic boom.

After being hit, its head exploded violently like a watermelon falling on the ground, so it should be dead.

And those two gargoyles were still besieging Hamer.

Baron stepped forward to pick up his giant axe, jumped up with both legs, and smashed a gargoyle with the axe, and then jumped and smashed the remaining one.

"Why did you suddenly become so powerful?" Hamer looked at Baron in disbelief.

"Haven't I always been this good?" Baron smiled.

He himself knew very well that he had just been hit by the anger spell and suddenly realized an ability to transform anger into his own power and to be immune to many negative magics, but doing so seemed to make him weak for a while.

"Why hasn't the curse disappeared?" Weber looked at the marks on his body that still existed.

"Use your hammer, Hammer." Baron said, noticing a strange statue above the entrance of the hall, the vampire lord seemed to be drilled out of this statue, Baron thought it was this statue related to the curse.

Hammer hesitated for a while and handed his warhammer to Baron. Baron took it with both hands, and threw the warhammer at the statue with force from his waist.

"What are you doing!" Hamer yelled in horror.

After the flying warhammer touched the statue, it smashed the statue to pieces.

Suddenly, the entire hall became dark, and Baron heard countless people whispering.

However, the strange phenomenon disappeared quickly, and the marks on their bodies also disappeared.

"This vampire may want to rely on his faith to become a god, but he was sealed by a powerful creature, and the stone slab we touched should be his backhand in order to escape the seal. Fortunately, it has been sealed for countless years Afterwards, we lost most of our power, otherwise we would not be opponents." Weber quickly figured out the general cause and effect.

"The curse has been resolved, let's go back to Ebony City now." Baron said, he was not interested in the details of this matter, he was more concerned about whether Rhodes was dead or alive.

"Then let's go to Huangshi City and hire a carriage..."

……

Tom didn't know how many years he had lived. He touched the bronze mask on his face with his hand. The mask didn't reveal his eyes, but was inlaid with two scarlet gems that couldn't be measured by money.

When he was young, he felt that a person like him who was destined to become a legend should have a better and greater name. After he truly became a legend, he didn't care about it at all. No one knew his name, only knew that he was The god of death in the dark, the king of the shadow world.

Some time ago, he remembered that he saw the offspring of his biological brother in a small town, and he rescued him.

When Tom arrived in Ebony City, he sensed that the boy was dying in the castle of Ebony City, as if he had been burned like this.

Tom was immediately interested in the boy, and he finally found someone who belonged to the same family as himself but was afraid of flames.

He sneaked into the castle several times and carefully checked the kid's condition. Even if he woke up, he would still have countless scars on his body like himself.

Unless he is soaked in dragon blood, ordinary people will definitely be burned by dragon blood, but for their family, dragon blood is a panacea for healing injuries.

He just couldn't get enough dragon's blood in time, so he left countless scars on his body.

Ordinary sub-dragon blood is not acceptable, it must be a real giant dragon or an ancestor-level sub-dragon.

Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly sensed a pure-blood dragonman approaching the city.

After the dragon man came to this city, he directly turned half of the castle into a sea of ​​flames. The flames of this temperature could not hurt Tom at all, but he hated flames.

The life and death of the whole city has nothing to do with him, the only thing he cares about is the kid on the bed in front of him.

Immortal life made him lose most of his emotions. Anyway, even if these humans are all dead, humans in other places will create many humans. After hundreds of years, those humans will all die, and he is still alive. A group of other humans live in this world.

So Tom doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary people at all, just like ordinary people treat ants.

He casually knocked out the doctor who suddenly ran in, although the doctor couldn't see him.

Tom picked up the boy on the bed and left the room, and the dragonman seemed to have been severely injured by another offspring of his brother and fled out.

He was suddenly curious about whether the blood of the dragon man could erase the scars on the boy's body, so he chased after the dragon man.

Surprised to find that this dragon man looks familiar, it seems to be called Beth or something.

"Found you." Tom emerged from the shadows.

The dragon man who was healing was taken aback.

"Who are you?" The dragon man looked at the man in black with a bronze mask in front of him in horror, and it felt trembling all over.

"I'm sorry to say to you first, if you are killed by me, you will not be resurrected." Tom said to himself.

Then he suddenly appeared in front of the dragon man, his dagger pierced through the dragon man's jaw, he twisted the dagger and pulled it out.

He casually used a magic to plug the wound so that the blood would not drain dry.

"Now it's time to find a better place," said Tom to himself.

He carried the offspring of his biological brother in one hand, and the corpse of the Dragon Man in the other.

Tom's movement speed is very fast, as long as there is a shadow, he can directly shuttle through it.

Soon after, he found a cave with a strong atmosphere of magic.

"It's not bad here. It's just a good time to give him a fortune. When he wakes up, the magic power in his body will be more than that of others who have been meditating for decades." He said to himself again.

He threw a spell at random on the ground, and a depression in the shape of a pool appeared on the ground.

Tom hung the dragon man on the depression to dispel the previous magic, let its blood drip freely, and then threw the kid into the blood pool.

The kid was able to breathe freely while submerged in the pool of blood.

"It seems that it will take a while for him to wake up. I'll just leave an illusion here." Tom made a decision.

Although he has nothing to do, he doesn't like to stay in one place for too long, it will make him feel a bit boring...

Rhodes opened his eyes and found himself soaking in a pool, with a few torches hanging on the surrounding uneven walls. I am now in a cave, he judged.

He sniffed it with his nose, and felt that there was a strong smell of blood. He looked down and found himself soaked in a pool full of blood, which frightened him to stand up.

"You're finally awake." Rhode looked back and saw the man in black he had seen before. His voice was so young that he didn't feel 30 years old. He was wearing a bronze mask with two bright red eyes. gem.

"Who are you?" Rhodes asked.

"I am your ancestor." The man in black replied.

Rhodes: "???"

"Forget it, you will know who I am in the future." The man in black put his hand on his forehead and said helplessly, "It won't take long, I will know when I meet you next time."

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, all the torches around were extinguished, but they all started to burn again the next moment, but the man in black in front of him had disappeared.

Rhode turned around but didn't see him. He felt some liquid dripping onto his head. He looked up and found that it was the dragon man.It was hung from the top of the cave by chains, and there were only two wounds on its body, one that almost completely split its entire chest, and the other that ran through the entire head from the lower jaw, and the wound on the lower jaw was still dripping blood from time to time.

Rhodes looked at the pool of blood beside him and guessed where the blood came from. It seemed that the dragon man had been killed again.

Standing in a pool of blood, Rhodes didn't feel any discomfort, and even felt a little comfortable. He got up from the pool of blood, and the surface of his body was not stained with any blood.

He looked at his arm, it seemed that he was much thinner than before, and he didn't know how long I had been in a coma, where did Aya go?He stared blankly at his hands.

Rhodes looked around, but the man in black didn't leave any clothes for him. He thought about where his clothes went before, and it seemed that the newly made buckskin coat he wore before was covered by the one hanging on his head. The Dragon Man was burned out.

He remembered that there was a night suit in the system, and he took it out and put it on. Now that it was spring, even at night, he didn't feel cold when he only wore the night suit.

But his boots were burned to ashes, and now he has no shoes.

Where did Shengxie go?Where is my backpack?
Rhodes searched around but couldn't find it. He felt that he must have been hacked by the man in black. A powerful person like this might have a collection habit. He collected weapons and armor everywhere and piled them up at home, just like he used to play games. Even if you don't need a little more powerful equipment, you still have to throw it in the warehouse and take it out from time to time to appreciate it.

The sound of the dragon man's blood dripping into the blood pool pulled him back from his dazed state. He looked up and couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, he got rich!
The corpses of dragon people are all treasures, scales can be used to make armor, claws and horns can be used to make daggers, and dragon meat is also a great supplement.

Rhodes looked at the dragon man's body and was a little worried. Should he drag it back in its entirety or peel off its useful things? After hesitating for a while, he decided to take it away in its entirety.

Rhodes, who had just woken up from a coma, was not sleepy, but felt a little hungry. What made him feel strange was that he didn't have the desire to eat its corpse after the dragonman died this time. Could it be that the last time it was Hallucination?
Rhodes dragged the dragonman's body out of the cave. It was daytime outside the cave. He found that the cave was in an isolated mountain. The isolated mountain was barren, without any plants or animals, and he couldn't even hunt.

Rhodes left the lonely mountain and came to a main road. Walking along the main road, he must be able to find the gathering place.He found that his strength was much stronger than before, and he didn't feel tired even if he was dragging a nearly three-meter-high dragonman in a hungry state.

About half an hour later, Rhodes dragged the dragonman's body to a huge city. This city gave people a very dangerous feeling from a distance, and there were many soldiers guarding the gate.

Rhode approached the city and looked up to see clearly the four large characters engraved on the top of the city gate. He found that this place was far away from the place where he was unconscious. He came from the north of Winterfell Province to the southernmost Winterfell Fortress in Winterfell Province. ...
