Alchemy Era

Chapter 33 Magic Array

"Where are you going to take us?" Li Ou asked. He just took a bottle of medicine and relieved his injury slightly, but his whole body still stung, and every step was a great test for him. Lu Yuewu had to separate a hand to help him, and only used one hand to guard him. Like Rosie, she didn't say a word and glanced left and right, but more fell on Alan Hurt, who led the way in front of her.

At first, he didn't want to follow. Who made the corpses had much to do with him, which was the responsibility of the guard and the Knights. But a word mentioned by the "clown" made him unable to refuse. He said, "Black magic."

"Can you let me sell it for a while?" Alan Hurt turned his head to squeeze out a terrible smile at them, "Well, although it won't be long, it's a little fun, isn't it?"

What is he hiding? I don't think you can believe it."

"Oh, I'm just an ordinary businessman. How can I threaten you?" He said exaggeratedly.

"There is no threat." Leo pointed out rudely, "There is still a way to kill us. You have done this once." He recalled the trip to the underground temple more than a month ago, and he suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be a completely different person, no longer the fat man he used to be, but more like a clown. He spit and chattered endlessly. It seems that he has been locked up alone in a dark prison for a long time.

"...in the top." The clown whispered a prayer to a god, but Li Ou didn't hear his vague words clearly. Then the clown continued, "If you don't do that, those mercenaries will definitely eat me."

"I can kill you now!" Rosie threatened fiercely.

The clown shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and the black robe shook accordingly. If you kill me..." His eyes seemed to have a strange green fire. You can't know the answer."

They were silent for a while. There are a lot of people looking for you. Leo said.

"I know." Alan Hurt replied, "I can guess who they are."

"Does your brother know that you are still alive?"

"Why do you have to let him know?" He looked at Leo sideways and asked angrily, "I have nothing to do with him!"

"That is to say, only we know your whereabouts now?"

"What do you think?" The shadow cast by the houses on the street covered his face, and Leo couldn't see his expression. But it can be imagined that there was indeed an implicit threat in his words at this time. Anyway, I have been forgotten, haven't I?" He reminded.

When they reached the end of the street and saw the long ramp in front of them, Li Ou knew their destination - the cemetery behind the low wall. Looking at the hut that turned into ruins in the fire, he suddenly realized the problem just now and forgot a person, a crucial person.

"The jantor said that he got something from you."

"That's right." The clown gritted his teeth and said, "Golden bottle, he took it! I'm going to take it back!"

"So you found Sister Shadow?"

"Sister Shadow?" He was puzzled and didn't seem to pretend, "Why am I looking for those old maids?"

"Who are you?"

"The jantor's throat was cut, and the body was in the palace of the dead."

"I also know that he must be resurrected." The clown sneered disdainfully, "I knew he couldn't kill, why deal with those crazy women? Am I full?"

"Do you know he is immortal?" They were extremely surprised.

"Of course." But then he closed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word, unwilling to explain anything.

They looked at each other. What exactly is in the golden bottle? Leo thought uneasily. Who wants Sister Youying to kill the doorman and let him close his mouth tightly in order to seal the secret?

"So he is still alive? Is it right here?"

The clown snorted coldly, "Magic and steel sword can't kill him. What's more, a woman's dagger? What's more, the fire you made?"

The closer to the cemetery, the more gloomy and corrupt it is, which is more unbearable than Li Ou has been here several times before. I smelled the undead. Rosie said. Of course, undead creatures are rampant behind the low wall of the iron gate, just like the immortal body of the gatekeeper. No wonder he chose to stay here and not go anywhere. He must be like a fish in water here.

The gate of the cemetery was closed, and they passed by the ruins of the collapsed charred hut. Thirty feet away from the gate, they all stopped - except for the "clown" Alan Hurt - and they heard the whispers of the immortal spirit. They were ready to move in the darkness behind the gate, roaring at them and issuing a warning against entry. They heard the malicious and mouth-watering roar, and heard the creepy sneer of the wandering soul.

However, the "clown" seems to have heard nothing. He took a few steps forward to find that they had all stopped. What are you doing in a franx? He urged dissatisfiedly, "Time waits for no one!"

They hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward and pushed the door together. With the harsh sound of the door opening, a strong breath of the dead involved them like a tornado, wrapped in layers, and wandering souls couldn't help hovering around them, waving their claws at them and making a harsh scream.

"What the hell!" Rosie shouted, "I knew there would be nothing good for you to follow!" She crushed a gem, and flames gushed out of her fingers, wrapping her all over, making her look like the goddess of flames. She waved her hand, and the flame listened to her command and hit the howling souls like lightning, turning them into wisps of smoke and dust one by one.

"Is this the welcome ceremony you arranged?" Leo and Lu Yuewu surrounded the "clown" around. The cold sword blade spit out the snake letter.

"This...how do I know what's going on!" He argued loudly, "How do I know they are... partying to welcome us! It must be Jerry Ti's bastard! Yes, it must be him!"

"Don't worry about him and let him die." Rosie manipulated the flames and cleared up a way around the wandering soul. We are not only the wandering maids, but also the ugly guards.

It seemed that they smelled the living smell and the hot fragrance of blood, and the dead came out from the tombs and from under the soil. They dragged their lame legs, straightened their tattered bodies, and waved their hands with only skeletons to attack them.

"They are the same as those bodies on the street just now." Lu Yue danced out.

Liou also found this. These corpses are no different from the corpses in the alley. They all came back from the death of magic, obeyed others and were ordered by the maker. Now they are blocking their progress.

"Did you expect this?" When Lu Yuewu cut down a resurrer, Li Ou questioned the "clown".

"How could I know?" He shrank behind them, and a voice of surprise came. I'm a merchant, not a mage!"

"You know the immortals and know that they are resurrised by human beings." Leo remembers what he said in the rotten alley, all of which shows that he is familiar with everything. In this case, what else don't you know?"

"Of course there is." The clown showed a sastic look, "For example..."

"For example, what?"

"I didn't expect that there were too many people coming here."

When Li Ou looked up, he found that the corpses in front of him were dense, mixed with angry ghouls and ghosts, and ghosts shuttled between them. The wandering souls flew around above the heads of the corpses, as if they were dancing strange dance.

"What should I do? There are so many of them that we can't kill them all. Rosie created a sea of fire. The fire tongue devoured the corpses in front of them and held them tightly. The blazing flames made them howling in the fire, but they refused to fall. I can't hold on like this for long."

The corpses pushed towards them with fear and stepped on the bones of their companions across the sea of fire; ghosts and wandering souls bypassed the flames and attacked them from both sides and mid-air. Rosie has to summon more flames while maintaining her spell. She kept crushing jewels the size of a nail cap, but it helped little. She had to take out the bigger flawless gems painfully. Lu Yuewu was responsible for cleaning up the fish that leaked the net and ended them one by one with a magic sword. However, if it continues like this, they have no choice but to retreat.

Li Ou groped for the package on his body, and then he took out a cold and piercing glass hourglass. The two parts are equipped with ice-blue fog and pale sticky**. Even if the hourglass is engraved with runes to cover the breath, Rosie can still feel the terrible chill. What is this?" She turned her head back and took a look.

This is an alchemy bomb made according to the records of the Alchemy Volume of Auridu. Only this one." He said, "Rosie, prepare for defensive spells." His whole body was still tingling, so he motioned to Lu Yuewu. The girl turned the hourglass, and the two parts were mixed together. In an instant, the two substances quickly aggregated and expanded violently, and it was possible to break through the suppression of the rune at any time. Throw it out!" He ordered, "Throw as far as possible!"

The bottle fell in a parabola in the air, and Rosie quickly created a translucent boundary and wrapped them tightly. The bottle is in the head of a ghoul. The ice-blue fog splashed everywhere and surged around like waves. Everything that is blocked is frozen. The ice blue waves hit the defense shield, making the shield crumbling and creaking. They couldn't help but be afraid that it would break up and turn into those corpse-like ice.

The cemetery that roared loudly a second ago is now silent. At this time, their eyes have completely become the world of ice sculptures. Rosie withdrew the shield, and they only felt the chill deep into the bone marrow and couldn't help trembling. They were all stunned for a while, and even Leo himself didn't expect its effect to be so... terrible.

"This... incredible..." "The clown stared at the scenery in front of him and muttered to himself. I'm really right. Asking for your help is the most accurate choice I have ever made in my life.

Li Ou ignored his appreciation. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "Let's go... Let's keep going... There should be no one to disturb us again."

They were all surprised and haven't recovered for a long time, so they were silent all the way. When they walked down a dirt bag, Lu Yuewu suddenly whispered in his ear, "This is the first place we have been here."

Leo also thought about it. The resentment, Joseph Holland, was here when he first appeared. Is the doorman hiding here?" He glanced around, nothing but the raised earthen bag.

"He will come out." The clown said confidently.

He continued to walk forward first. After bypassing a dirt bag, a deep pit appeared in front of them, and there was a sarcophagus at the bottom of the deep pit. The sarcophagus is covered with thick slabs, but the slabs are clean and dust-free.

" smash it away." The clown pointed to the sarcophagus and said, "We can see the long-lost gatekeeper."

"We don't have to do this for you." Rosie said, "Everyone can see that there are deadly magic traps on it."

"You have helped me a lot. How can I bother you?" He narrowed his eyes and snapped his fingers. The resentment that Li Ou and Lu Yuewu were very familiar with suddenly appeared beside the clown.

Li Ou's heart pounded. He took a step back quickly and shouted, "Who the hell are you?"

Alan Hurt turned his head and smiled at him, "That's what you call 'clown'." Will the clown summon a powerful resentment? He waved his hand, and the resentment Joseph Holland floated to the sarcophagus. Leo suddenly noticed that his flesh and blood were no different from ordinary people, and he was still wearing blood-red shadow armor.

"He got a new life." Leo only felt uneasiness and fear wrapped him, "He is now a resentful knight symbolizing death." But... how is this possible? It's only been two months. How did he evolve?" The clown obviously won't tell him the answer.

Joseph Holland stood next to the sarcophagus. He holds a black narrow blade in his hand. Then, he stabbed down hard. The magic trap was touched, and a violent explosion formed a strong wind sweeping the bottom of the pit. But Joseph Holland has fallen into the shadows and appeared beside the clown. But the soil fell, revealing the scene at the bottom of the pit. The sarcophagus was broken into pieces in the explosion, but the body in it was unharmed and safe.

"Mr. Doorman, don't pretend to sleep." The clown shouted, "Will the dead still fall asleep?"

Jereti climbed out of the sarcophagus. He is more like a skeleton at this time. The skin and flesh under the robe that was broken by the explosion almost peeled off the body, leaving only a permeating skeleton. Maybe he thought the wound was too ugly after it was sutured? Leo couldn't help thinking.

"You came faster than I thought." Jerry's eyes swept over them, "Sir, Miss, we meet again. Are you going to kill me again this time?"

"There is no doubt. Only the undead can drive the corpses.

"Real?" He smiled disdainfully, "I don't think so."

Li Ou also replied with a sneer, "Is there anyone else?"

The janant did not answer. He turned to the clown, "As for you, Mr. Hurt, I know why you came here. But can you take it away?

"I'm more confident than you."

"But I don't think so." The janjan is an alchemist. Although his robe was tamped, he pulled a bottle in his hand and threw it at them. Rosie reflexively erected a magic shield. But the magic shield can't resist the strong light. The reaction in the bottle had already happened in the air, and the sun-like light blinded them all. At the same time, the violent sound that accompanied them made them temporarily deaf. They can't see anything, hear nothing, and completely lose their sense of their surroundings.

When they regained their sight, they found that Geriti had disappeared completely.

"Where did he go?"

"Anyway, it won't last long." The clown said confidently, "He can't escape this cemetery."

Li Ou suddenly felt that since they met the "clown" tonight, they seemed to have only followed each other's pace. He threw one problem after another to attract them to this point. This is not like the "clown" style. He suddenly realized.

"Maybe we look for the best separately."

The clown looked at him, "It's okay." He did not refuse.

They went in different directions. Do you feel something wrong?" Lu Yuewu asked.

"Do you feel the same way?"

They all nodded and looked solemn.

"Li Ou, I think we should leave here immediately and don't get involved." Rosie suggested, "I have a very bad feeling."

But what about black magic? If you don't know the source, how to treat Aunt Selena?

"Then go on so aimlessly?" Rosie asked, "What if we are surrounded again?"

Surrounded? Corpse? Wait! Leo stopped and said, "Let's go and turn around. We followed the 'clown'.

At Li Ou's urging, they accelerated their pace and soon found the "clown" walking in a recess. The resentful knight followed him like a loyal guard, and the ghoul wandering in the depression turned a blind eye to them, as if they were all members of undead creatures. Just watch here." Leo said.

Rosie casts Hawkeye and listening so that they can see farther and hear more clearly.

"How did you find me?" Jeriti's voice came.

"It's very simple. Because this is my territory." The clown replied, and his voice suddenly looked strange, as if another person was talking through his body. Give me the gold bottle. It gives you immortal life, and it's time to return things to your original owner.

"Immortal life? This rotten bone shelf?" Jerry Ti laughed and said, "I know that the golden bottle is your soul box. But I have to use it to study a truly immortal, flesh-and-blood body! You don't want to find it."

"Don't bargain with me." "Your secret is at my fingertips," said the clown. The soul can't lie.

"Although this body is ugly, it is not afraid of magic and swords."

"If I were you, I wouldn't think so." The clown seems to have done something. Jerich's words stopped abruptly. My patience is exhausted. Since you are the janjan, isn't it the best destination to die in the cemetery?

"How can the dead be killed?" Lu Yuewu frowned and asked.

"There's something wrong, there's something wrong." Luo Xi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Didn't you notice?"

"What?"

"The surrounding terrain, where they stand. And..." And the blue and dark magic light emitted from the concave... Everything shows that there is a huge magic array under their eyes - a huge evil array with an undead breath seems to be completely activated by the soul of the immortal Jerich. The wind is blowing everywhere, and the ghosts are crying and howling.

"Run!" Luo Xi turned pale and said tremblingly, "Escape! If you don't run, you will be late!" She pushed Li Ou hard. For the first time, her strength was so great that he stumbled aside several steps before he barely stabilized his body.

Why did you escape? Wouldn't it be better to stay here?" The clown's loud laughter suddenly came from behind them.

"Fuck you!" Rosie roared back and toss the biggest gem in her arms into the magic array.
