Chapter 2367
Xia De thought in his heart, and walked down the stairs with Miss Eleise. The cold fog in the "front hall" of the underground tomb became thicker and thicker. Afterwards, after pushing open the tightly closed stone door locked from the inside, in the strange "creak~" sound, the skeleton holding a rusty big knife in the opened door slashed towards Xia De head-on.
Xia De and Miss Eleise's expressions were very calm, so the phantom skeleton passed through Xia De's body and disappeared directly.
Looking further inside, the cold white fog lingering in the dim tomb passage had seriously affected vision. Glowing white ghosts wandered in it, and occasionally strange sounds made by skeletons and corpses moving could be heard.
"Illusion plus some necromancy, although the technique is clever, it is still not very strong."
Miss Eleise judged:
"Do you need me to break the ritual? I just need to roar in my dragon descendant form."
"No, no, I'm worried that forcibly breaking the ritual will destroy what we are looking for. And, I also really want to see who is trapped here."
Saying that, Xia De raised his right hand. After a faint spiritual light appeared in his palm, the spiritual light condensed into a glowing white transparent crystal above his palm.
Under the traction of the spell, the white transparent crystal floated beside Xia De and Miss Eleise. And as Xia De tapped lightly with his hand, moonlight attached to the crystal, making its light brighter—this is the basic application of "Light Spell".
The crystal rotated clockwise in the air, so the cold fog within a two-meter range in front of them disappeared, the wandering spirits disappeared, and the strange sounds disappeared. In fact, except for dust, there was nothing in the passage in front of the two.
"Let's go."
Xia De waved at Miss Eleise:
"Don't rush to find things, let's go see who is here first."
In order to prevent tomb robbing, this underground tomb area of the Wright family with a history of nearly a thousand years was built like a maze, but "Enhanced Space Perception" is most effective for this kind of terrain.
Miss Eleise shielded the sounds of the two talking and their footsteps, and the two walked and stopped, going deep into the depths of the tomb area. The rotating crystal provided moonlight for illumination. During this period, except for the illusions broken by the crystal, there were indeed ancient corpses and ancient resentful spirits that revived because the ritual was activated and walked out from the tomb chambers of different sizes on the side of the tomb area passage, but they were all dispersed by Miss Eleise with a wave of her hand.
The person trapped here was in a very deep part of the tomb passage. The two hadn't seen anyone yet, but first heard a series of violent collision sounds.
After walking closer, they saw a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing glasses, leaning against the side wall of the passage with a look of horror. The glowing badge-type relic hanging on his chest created a shell-shaped transparent shield to protect him, while two resentful spirits, two corpses, and a skeleton wearing armor and holding a long sword took turns hitting that layer of shield, trying to weaken the power of the shield with their own strength.
The resentful spirits and corpses were not very strong, but that skeleton wearing armor could be classified as a "special undead". It was probably the strongest "tomb guardian" left by the ancient ring warlock of the Wright family. Although the undead only kept hitting the shield with its sword, judging from the quality of its soul, in a venue like a tomb suitable for its survival, this thing could be considered a sixth-ring or seventh-ring warlock.
As for the middle-aged man with a pale face who looked like he was exhausted, he should be a fifth-ring.
The blue-eyed girl looked at Xia De, Xia De gave a gesture to Miss Eleise, letting her not come out, and then he walked out from the corner of the tomb area passage himself.
He did not deliberately hide himself, so the man wearing glasses saw Xia De immediately.
Of course, the undead also noticed the appearance of another living person. But on the premise that there was already an attack target, they did not choose to attack Xia De, who had the "blessing of thousands of souls".
"Sir, no matter who you are, for the sake of being living people, can you save me?"
Although he didn't hold out hope, the man leaning against the wall still sent a request for help to Xia De.
"Okay."
Xia De nodded immediately, first pressed the badge on his chest, and then pointed his finger forward:
"Sunlight Ray."
The hot golden positive energy light flow cut the two corpses and two resentful spirits into two sections neatly with the shaking of his fingers. The resentful spirits shattered in ear-piercing screams, and the bodies of the corpses ignited with raging fire.
The only skeleton that looked fine was blocked by the armor from the sunlight energy. After Xia De launched the attack, it turned around and slashed at him.
Xia De casually threw out a scarlet moonlight. The big knife of the skeleton collided with it, and the moonlight broke the big knife like a bamboo and broke its armor, almost cutting it in half.
But it had no chance to continue. After the armor was broken, the hot positive energy light flow swept over. So the skeleton's burning lower body maintained the action of running forward, ran a few more steps before falling heavily to the ground, and the upper body fell directly in place.
The skeleton disappeared in the hot fire of burning. Xia De held the 【Angel's Right Arm】 in his hand and continued to walk forward, and the man wearing glasses who was trapped finally withdrew the shield formed by the relic panting, and then sat down slowly leaning against the wall as if his legs couldn't support his body:
"Thank you... you saved me."
After trying hard to squeeze out words of thanks from his throat, he took off the pendant on his neck and wanted to throw it to Xia De, but Xia De stopped him:
"Keep your own relics well. I am not a robber. You just need to answer a few questions for me."
If he had said this at the beginning, the man might have hesitated. But Xia De had already helped him solve a big trouble, and he felt that he couldn't refuse:
"Please ask. If I can answer, I will definitely answer. If I can't answer, you can kill me."
"Actually, there is no need to fight and kill... What organization do you belong to? Don't tell me you are just an unlucky guy tomb robbing alone."
The man smiled bitterly:
"Sir, don't joke. Oh, my name is Claude Bins. I can only say that I am a local, and my organization is also a local organization. Is your next step to ask my purpose? I think your purpose and mine should be the same. I came to find the relic left by the ring warlock of the Wright family, that is, the ring warlock who designed this trap."
He paused and added hurriedly:
"Not a relic containing whispering elements, but his true relic. My organization is actually very shabby, and we don't have many people. I originally thought it would be enough for me to come alone, but I almost died here."
He didn't need Xia De to ask at all, and knew very clearly what Xia De wanted to ask:
"The relic I used is the document-level relic 【Tomb Robber's Despicable Medal】, which my friend bought in the local black market not long ago.
It increases a little luck in the cemetery environment, making spirits that could not be contacted directly become directly contactable. Of course, the biggest use is to form the transparent shield you saw, but once the attack exceeds the limit, it will absorb the user's mental power and blood until the soul is consumed. The negative characteristic is that it is very easy to make nearby undead revive, and it is very easy to attract the attacks of the undead. The reason why the undead were still on my side after you appeared just now is because of this reason."
Actually, it was the reason for the superposition of two aspects, but Xia De didn't need to explain this point.
"I thought I would be foolproof with this, but I didn't expect that my luck was too bad and I triggered the trap directly... I never thought that someone would set up an undead revival ritual in their own family cemetery."
"You said it all, what else can I say?"
Xia De looked him up and down:
"Moon Bay City, like the royal capitals of Willendale and Tobesk, has very strict control by the church because of the importance of the city, so there are not many who are qualified to call themselves 'local ring warlock organizations'.
I remember there are two mutual aid group-type ring warlock organizations at the pier, a black market that meets regularly in the forest north of the city, and a group of people in the lower city, but because they believe in asexual reproduction, they have been wanted by the church. There are a few others, but the scale is not large. Which one do you belong to?"
The man sitting against the wall just shook his head:
"I can't say, I won't betray the organization."
Xia De heard the low cough from Miss Eleise behind him, so he stabbed the sword into the ground, held the lady's pocket watch in his left hand, and pointed forward with his right hand:
"Adele's Time Stop."
Then he turned and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Only the fifth ring, asking questions doesn't need to be so troublesome."
The blue-eyed girl walked out from the darkness:
"I am a twelfth-ring, this little thing can still be done. Now it's not a battlefield where things change in an instant, I have plenty of time to prepare for casting."
She just prepared a little and nodded at Xia De, and the moment Xia De lifted the time stop, those sea-blue eyes were already glowing:
"What organization do you belong to?"
Because of the "Time Stop" and completely unable to resist, the middle-aged man immediately said with a dull expression:
"Light... Eternal Light."
"What method do you use to cover up destiny?"
Xia De asked again, but this time he didn't get an answer. It seems that the man in front of him didn't know about this.
So Xia De stopped the other party's time again. After Miss Eleise retreated into the darkness, he lifted the spell again. Although the spiritual consumption was a bit high, just as Miss Eleise said, this is not a battlefield, and Xia De can fully recover after a while:
"You are unwilling to say, and I won't force you."
He said to the man who didn't realize what had happened at all, just felt that something was wrong, but didn't know where it was wrong:
"Tell me the clues to the relic left by that ring warlock, and the way you got the clues, and then leave here. I think you shouldn't be still greedy for the relic of that ancient ring warlock until now."
