adventurer killer

The underground of Leoric Castle extends in all directions, and the underground river is not as turbid and smelly as the Acropolis River. Gao Jin walked to the middle of one of the arched bridges and overlooked the gurgling 50-meter-wide river.

Some wild mackerel occasionally swim there. If the undead still remember the taste and perception when they were humans, there must be many tourists sitting on the bridge and fishing.

Like this kind of dark river that gathers running water, there are about ten under the entire big castle, and they are connected to the former site of the Horadric Monastery outside the castle.

Because the statue of the main god designed by the Kanduras era is still preserved, the holy water has never dried up, so the holy light has been guarding the monastery, and the golden pool in the courtyard is still as green as jade.

From the beginning of the design of Leoric Castle as the emperor's palace, how to save the castle if it is besieged by the enemy was taken into consideration.Even if the Leoric castle is closed behind closed doors, the people inside can rely on the dark river water to irrigate plants and get food for life, but the enemies who besiege the castle should think about how to get supplies?

However, this design point has not had time to play its due role. Prince Aidan broke through the Kanduras King City and killed his father who was affected by the dark essence.Emperor Leoric returned to this palace as a dead body. He didn't have time to enjoy such an exquisite building during his lifetime. After his death, he had a lot of time.

Gao Jin raised his head and looked into the distance. At the same level as the arched bridge he was on, there were at least six arched bridges as far as he could see. The buildings connecting the two ends of the bridge were granaries, baggage warehouses, etc., which had to be moved as soon as possible. facilities.When Gao Jin came down from the castle just now, it was difficult for him to find traces of human existence in these empty and dark empty houses.

Because, the Great Castle of Leoric, which took half a century to build successfully, did not have time to function as a military fortress.

Not a grain of millet was spared here, nor a spear was spared. In response to Prince Aidan, the only castle guard guarding the dark river snatched all the warships from here, sailed out of the castle, and joined in the siege of Kanduras King City. —In the Just War in Old Tristram.By the way, Tristram is the name given to the gathering place by the Life Freemasons in commemoration of that battle.

The real old Tristram is still a loathsome haunt of the undead, and not all the corpses have been successfully transported to the great castle of Leoric for burial.The remaining people of Kanduras have been corrupted by the dark essence, and it is impossible to leave their proud ancient country forever. "My only wish is to relieve the suffering of the people," Leoric said.

Before Gao Jin entered the hinterland of the castle, the central area of ​​the dark river, the emperor confessed his years of hard work to his newly appointed lord.He hired a well-qualified progenitor vampire to set up a laboratory and observation center nearby to resurrect the dead, hoping to apply this technology to his people in the future.

To put it simply, it is to borrow a dead body to resurrect the soul.After killing the enemies of the Kanduras kingdom, loot their corpses, and then use the vampire's blood curse technique to gather the suffering Kanduras souls into the body. "But this experiment was not successful, and we have many more mutants." Leoric was referring to the dull howling that sometimes sounded nearby.

In addition to howling, there was the sound of hammering iron plates.It was obvious that something wanted to run out, and was stopped by the iron plate.

His majesty's earnest words of teaching made Gao Jin understand him better. He is indeed a madman, and it is not too much to call him a mad king.

It's just that Leoric's madness is the gap between the torment of the dark essence, and the brilliance of humanity that he occasionally radiates.He has never changed his way of saving the people, and his method has only shifted from giving them equal rights such as exemption from agricultural taxes to focusing on their lives and health.Of course, most righteous people will never understand.

Irene Spector has been standing quietly behind the dismantler, her black iron moonblade returned to her elbows, and after Ms. Farina untied her hands, a spiked collar was added around her neck, which made her It looks weird, but Ms. Farina obviously thinks this is much better than the Dark Mother's tentacles.So far, she has been very cooperative with Gao Jin.

As soon as she came to the central area of ​​the dark river, she was as active as a wild horse.The dark river central area is no different from a real water city except for the dim light.It's a pity that there are no boats in the river now, so Gao Jin can only see the traces of the rope being strangled by the wooden piles at the head of the arched bridge.

"My God, it's so big here, it's hard to imagine, who designed this castle, there are so many big rivers and so many bridges under it, it's bigger than the main cities of some human countries..." Farin Ms. Na stood up from the stake, waved her hands, and trotted towards Gaojin from the other end of the arched bridge, looking excited.

Just before Gao Jin satirized her and was still elated after being caught, Vala gradually became clear from a blurry shadow. She searched the area and said, "Master Dismantler, I found the place where the vampire was experimenting." Gao Jin found that she was gnashing her teeth when she said this, and her expression was very hateful, as if she had some blood feud with vampires.

"But I don't recommend interacting with him. As His Majesty said, his laboratory is full of mutants." She then added that Irene Scarlet was not familiar with her. Before that, she was only in Beiyuan. When I saw Vala, the only communication I had was to say hello when I met him on patrol, and it took Vala a few days to learn to speak.

"Aberrant?" Just as Irene Spector was keenly observing Vala's eye-catching and gorgeous French dress, Ms. Farina quickly cut into the conversation. She stared at the phosphorescent river below the bridge with undiminished interest. , walked in front of Gao Jin, and said like a high-ranking person giving orders: "I like places with deformed bodies, Gao Jin, let's talk about cooperation with vampires."

The horned skeleton soldier nodded, and walked towards the other end of the arched bridge, where Vala found out his location: "Vala, you are a kind person, I believe this. I guess, you must be from those who were tortured. I saw my past in the dead body, but you have to understand that this is the only way to solve the problem that the Great Castle has no soldiers at present."

"I know." Vala raised her eyelids unhappily, and then lowered them heavily.

The vampire count is not far from them. His experimental facility occupies two granaries on the other side of the dark river. The lintel of the warehouse is engraved with patterns of harvest and harvesting, which is very commensurate with its current functions.There was a passage five meters away from the granary, and a line of cold-blooded guards stopped after carrying several broken and bloody human corpses. They saluted the dismantlers, and then entered the granary without delay. "We followed suit."

This was a very bad decision. Gao Jin smelled the stench when he stepped in, not only the smell of blood but also the rotten smell of rotten meat, mixed with the sound of howling monsters, he will overcome his fear People with MAX skill points can't bear it. Congestion, stuffiness, and narrowness are the internal construction of the granary, which directly affects him and Vala.

"It's a haunted place, evil." Irene Spirk lifted her dark face as if to see bat eyes in the oppressive low earthen ceiling, but there were none here.

The cold-blooded guards moved forward calmly. The floor was covered with a thick layer of blood plasma. They came from multiple corpses in multiple periods. Judging from the traces of dragging, sometimes there were even existences that could not be moved neatly. The guards dragged them forward, and Gao Jin could tell that this was the last shelter of the three adventurers.

After a certain distance, entangled cables and rusted iron cages began to appear on both sides of the passage. There were constant slapping and muffled shouting sounds in the iron cage. The cable was connected to the only air hole on the iron cage. What.Anyway, the answer will soon be revealed by the man in the top hat in the gray double-breasted coat, who is instructing the cold-blooded guards to work.

Like a responsible surgeon, the man in the high hat prepared the operating table early in the morning, that is, a large six-pointed star magic circle drawn with blood, and the corpse was placed in the center of the magic circle by the cold-blooded guards.The bodies were those of two dwarves, wearing Viking-style helmets and showing brutish, muscular arms, one with a smashed head and a hole in the other's chest.

"Is this the Firehammer Dwarf?" Irene Spike stood behind Gao Jin, showing a look of indecision. Dark elves are not a warlike race, so once they see a corpse in peacetime, their wanton spread Compassion then breeds, causing her to say things that don't sound like villains. "War is really cruel, it is so difficult for us to survive."

Gao Jin didn't say anything, because he was concentrating on watching the performance in the magic circle. The man in the tall hat poked the corpse with an ebony cane, and suddenly violently swung the cane and smashed it at the cold-blooded guard at the head. Any reaction was smashed in the head by him, and the whole skeleton immediately fell into a state of mania, running around like losing its target.

"This guy..." Smashed the cold-blooded guard's head in front of the dismantler?Is the head of the man in the top hat broken?Vala was about to yell at him, but was stopped by Ms. Farina who was smiling.The black witch was obviously well-informed. She raised her chin in the direction of the magic circle, and waved her fingers, signaling to her dear apprentice not to disrupt the vampire count's spellcasting.

Vala held back for the time being, and she did exactly as Ms. Farina expected, watching everything that happened with dumbfounded eyes.

After the cane of the man in the high hat smashed the head of the cold-blooded guard, it was covered with a layer of burning blue flames. He retracted the cane and looked at everything obsessively.

Looking at Lan Yan, Gao Jin saw his sharp face clearly.Why use sharp to describe?Because every part of his facial features is sharp, the corners of the eyes, the bridge of the nose, the lips, and the chin as a whole look like the incarnation of bats. If he unbuttons his coat, there may be a large group of bats flying out, letting the coat flutter down on the ground.

It also means that the Count Vampire cannot possess humanity. He is an expert in spreading blood curses, an unfortunate contagion, a maker of ghouls, a confidant of righteous people all over the world, and a man with a long lifespan and strong regenerative ability. Fighting maniac.Gao Jin was convinced that he had seen a real vampire in the game world, and couldn't help but be amazed.

The man in the high hat seemed to realize that in the skull of the cold-blooded guard, there was a force substance that had evolved from a skeleton soldier to a high level, which was this kind of blue oil that looked like it was on fire.

He stood in the center of the magic circle, and the space behind him twisted and wrinkled, and a blood-smeared, double-sided door opened like a crow's wings appeared.

The bloody vortex rattled in the middle of the door, attracting the scepter of the man in the high hat to shake slightly.

If combined with his muttering, the whole scene is like a godlike man pretending to be a ghost.

It would be foolish to question the abilities of an original vampire, and the man in the top hat showed his professionalism.

The cane waved like a divine help, and the blue flame lit up on it was like a candle that guided the soul to where it belonged.

When the torch pointed at the door of the blood mist door, no less than a hundred bloody arms suddenly stretched out from inside, piercing towards the magic circle, setting up a guardrail for it.

The birdcage, the magic circle looks more like a birdcage at this time. The corpse is a bird that has been imprisoned. The bird trainer stands outside the cage and keeps waving his stick, and the corpse rises up.

They started to rotate, being scanned by a ray from the door, and then the translucent soul body ran out along the ray, trying to get into the corpse.

This is the unique soul body recovery ability of the blood race.

Legend has it that vampires are a group of high nobles fighting against the sky. After receiving the eternal curse, they became the object of disgust of the supreme sky and were chased and killed by the archangel Tyrael.

Since they are not controlled by the Supreme Heaven, these evil spirits who live on blood will have more time to cultivate and grow, and master the mystical knowledge that exists secretly in all parts of the world.

Then merge those useful parts to form a unique blood curse, not only in the resurrection of the dead, but also in medicine and pathology.

It is lucky for the Kingdom of Kanduras to be able to hire such an outstanding person, because the souls of civilians wandering in that ruined land are very likely to be calmed by this method.

Looking at the spectacle of the soul body passing through the body with ecstasy, even Irene Spike and Valla seemed to be suspended in time, and only Ms. Farina twisted the collar anxiously.

She grabbed the collar around her neck with her hands, and couldn't restrain an unreasonable excitement and ran around, making her cheeks flush with excitement: "It's the soul body, the precious soul body, I want it."

Gao Jin glanced at her strange appearance, and said, "Ms. Farina, it seems that these soul bodies have brought you some inspiration, so I knew there was nothing wrong with letting you come."

"Help me untie the collar, I think, as long as I integrate into my dark ritual again, this magic circle of resurrected corpses will work!" Ms. Farina stared at Gao Jin longingly.

But no matter how much she acted coquettishly, it was useless. Gao Jin was not in a hurry for success. He couldn't take the risk of letting the black witch intervene before it was determined that the vampire had failed.

What's more, this forbidden magic collar woven by the Mother of Darkness is to avoid some unpleasant revenge after she is free, and Gao Jin will not untie it for her easily.

Gao Jin turned his head unmoved: "It can be seen from those iron cages that he has failed many times, and he may not succeed this time. Let's just watch the excitement."

Ms. Farina said sullenly: "Why, why is this? You clearly know that I long for the darkness, long to summon the creatures hidden in the darkness. Without the comfort of darkness, I will dry up and die."

I always thought that the black witches in Naxxramas were leading scholars of dark research, and a large part of the function of the Cult of the Damned was to make people believe in the Lich King and yearn for eternal life.

But eternal life is just a joke. If you want to get eternal life, you can only choose to be an undead, and there are very few people who can keep their face like Ms. Farina.

If there is really a way to resurrect the dead casually in the world, the world will really be in chaos.But fortunately, the descent spells of blood curses also have serious flaws.

For example, Ms. Farina's Dark Resurrection uses the living body as a petri dish, injecting spider eggs into the living body, and waiting for the eggs to mature to develop into an adult Soulbinder Tall Spider.

This cannot be said to be an absolute resurrection, but it cannot deny its significance in the advent technique, because the soulbinder will grow slightly according to the host.

Ms. Farina has always believed that Dark Resurrection cannot keep the biological body in its original state because of the lack of soul.

Once the soulbinder spider invades, the organism loses its soul.

She really wanted to find a way to control the out-of-body body until the real blood curse appeared in front of her.

The man with the tall hat was able to pull the soul out of a door with a cane, and then circled around the corpse, as if he was matching someone.

The sworn enemy of the Supreme God, the vampire used the blood curse to intercept the souls that were supposed to go to heaven or hell, and put them in stock behind the door of blood mist.

Gao Jin probably understood the reason why they could produce ghouls indefinitely.However, the soul body, once it leaves the physical body, it will not be exactly the same as before.

After the death of the biological body, the soul body will come out of the shell, and there will be completely different changes in thinking. Even if it is forcibly poured into the dead body, the resurrected one will not be the same as before.

The vampire count should not understand that his efforts are meaningless, but the vampire has his obsession, and creating a real immortal is this obsession.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to cooperate with the skeletons and undead, condescending near this empty, lifeless dark river, and devoted himself to working towards impossible ideas.

Gao Jin admired him very much, and was deeply impressed by the serious attitude of the man with the tall hat.Especially when the experiment failed, the sad expression he showed made his sharp eyes become fierce.

"Ah! No!" A burst of blue flames shot out from the two floating corpses, but this was not a fire of destruction, but a fire of resentment in which undead entangled each other, and the two corpses approached.

They were originally on both sides of the formal and anti-ritual totems of the magic circle, but now they have destroyed the track of the curse of blood, leaving the magic circle and tightening towards the central part.

The man in the high hat waved his cane more vigorously. He didn't understand that this set of blood curses does not allow any mistakes. It will continue to maintain the flow of energy in the magic circle and bring the dead back to life.

"How is it possible?! I can't do it anymore! Failed!" The man in the tall hat shook his shoulders and back, and he threw himself deep and shallow in front of the blood cage, trying to block the fusion of the dead bodies.

"Who will help me? Oh no! A monster is about to appear!" The door of the blood mist behind the man in the high hat quickly became shorter and deformed, turning into a pair of bat wings, leading him back quickly.

His sharp face was stained with sadness, watching the horned skeleton soldier and his three attendants from afar remained motionless, only then did he realize that there were guests visiting the laboratory.

"Run away! The monster is coming out!" the man in the high hat roared hysterically, his sharp facial features that were extremely excited further reduced the angle, and finally turned into the face of a bat.

Gao Jin looked at the large bat wearing a top hat, lying on the wall like a gecko, and couldn't help having a new understanding of the vampire count: "Professor Fernandez."

"You know me? Skeleton soldier? Run away! Look! Aberrations have appeared!" The top hat on the big bat's head was still upright, but his coat didn't fit well.

Gao Jin must not be as far-sighted as Professor Fernandez, nor does he have the magical foresight of the horns he evolved. This compass-like thing released a bolt of lightning.

It hits the target faster than the sonic boom thrown by Vala's wave.The fireworks illuminated Gao Jin's cheekbones, and the lightning and sonic boom formed a sharp outline of that terrifying figure.

It itself was going to take Gao Jin to the knife, but it didn't expect that neither Valla nor Irene Simpier were vegetarians.At this time, Irene Sima was squatting in front of Gao Jin, with her elbows stretched forward.

Her eyes were as sharp as a cheetah, and her dark face was ready for battle. Gao Jin noticed that her black iron moonblade flew out of the sonic boom with a whirling sound.

Steady and precise retraction between her elbows.

"Broken." She whispered a word, as if applauding herself.

At the same time, the deformed outline on the opposite side was severely injured by the moon blade, and a cross-shaped scar was opened on the abdomen.

The electric sparks and sonic dots entangled in the deformed silhouette found the object of pouring together, and gathered in the scars.

A dazzling blue cross scar appeared on the abdomen of the double-headed monster, which still maintained the basic characteristics of the fire hammer dwarves, being low.

But in addition, he assembled the volume of two corpses, distorting lumps of meat and bones, a mangled face and a head with protruding gray and white eyeballs growing together.

Before the monster had time to show how much he wanted to kill, he was severely injured in the abdomen by the black iron moon blade. At this time, the sonic boom and the electric shock bit each other to form countless climbing polka-dot snakes.

When they climbed on the monster's shoulders, it seemed to be wearing a fashionable polka-dot shirt.Then—nothing happened, the sound and electricity effect only caused a strong blow to the monster.

A cloud of black smoke came out from its two heads, and the heavy and low monster hit the ground heavily with its kneecaps, then shrank and withered into two shriveled corpses.

"Pretty, I called you two here, it is the right choice." Gao Jin clapped his hands very sincerely, and Vala and Irene Sappir were not very happy.

They unanimously cast reproachful eyes at the disassembler: "It was almost just now, and its sledgehammer is about to hit you on the head." Sledgehammer?

Yes, there is indeed a sledgehammer. After the monster seems to be deformed, it even turned a Viking-style helmet into a hammer. God knows how strong their arms are?
