Constructing-Style Wizard

"What do you want to sell? Or what do you want to buy? We have good antiseptic oil and wax here, which can preserve the undead materials for a long time."

The low-level acolyte smiled, revealing a pair of stained fangs.

The gray jacket and overalls he wore exuded a vague antiseptic smell.

This basement can be described as crude.

Whether it was the defense system or the interior decoration, Li Nuo smelled cheap.

Through deconstruction, Li Nuo learned that the underground gathering places of the Necronomicon were often discovered by MI2 and the "Pillar of Earth Lines".

If someone from MI2 discovers it, the situation will be relatively better. As long as the low-level acolytes are willing to abandon their subordinates, they can still escape calmly.

But if the wizard of the "Earthline Pillar" detects his whereabouts, it will be troublesome. The low-level acolyte will have to use "Emergency Teleportation" to escape.

After being interrupted by outsiders several times in a row, the Necronomicon sect simply gave up setting up defenses in the underground gathering place.

Although the low-level acolyte in front of him was smiling calmly, he was actually extremely nervous, fearing that the Li Nuo who appeared in front of him was a spy of the Earthline Wizard.

Li Nuo glanced at the magic orb held in the palm of his hand and sneered disdainfully:

"What are you holding in your hand? A magic orb enchanted with "Emergency Teleportation"? I thought the Necromancer Sect was a local snake here, but I didn’t expect it to be just a rat crossing the street. I doubt I'll find the right buyer here. "

Several cold glances were shot at Li Nuo, coming from the undead converter guarding the low-level acolyte.

This group of ordinary humans who have not yet completed the transformation of their magic organs cannot even distinguish the magic power fluctuations on Li Nuo's body. They only think that the other party is an arrogant black businessman.

The low-level acolytes were a little impatient at first.

But after seeing Li Nuo take out a shadow orb from his magic pocket, his expression changed.

From a trace of suppressed sullenness, to astonishment and surprise, and finally to respect and flattery.

"Welcome ~ the powerful shadow gray wizard." The low-level acolyte bowed and saluted, revealing his bald head to Li Nuo.

The undead converter looked at the magic orb in Li Nuo's hand in confusion, focusing on the translucent figure inside the orb, seeming a little greedy and ignorant.

Although he knew little about magic, it was easy to tell from the attitude of the low-level acolytes that the shadow magic orb in the seller's hands was extraordinary.

That's inevitable.

The shadow soul sealed in this orb is a genuine eight-ring combat shadow wizard.

Li Nuo himself could hide his own magic power fluctuations, but he could not hide the shadow magic orb.

The unique gloom and controlled madness of shadow magic would never be mistaken by low-level acolytes.

This is enough to prove Li Nuo's strength.

"I have a letter of introduction to the Death Society. Take me to see the monk behind the scenes." Li Nuo flipped his hand, put the Shadow Orb back into his magic pocket, took out the invitation letter and shook it.

The envelopes and stationery were enchanted with unique magic lines.

Without opening it for inspection, the low-level acolyte used a detection spell to identify the letter's authenticity.

The low-level acolyte respectfully invited Li Nuo to move deep into the basement, and use the secret passage there to go to the underground river dozens of meters below.

Li Nuo had seen this road in the other party's memory fragments and was not afraid of any ambush.

He followed the low-level acolyte with a nonchalant expression, walked through the narrow and dim corridor, and walked down step by step.

The sound of gurgling water gradually got closer, and there was a moist smell in the air.

After a while, an underground river with green water appeared in front of us.

Li Nuo had seen this underground river before.

At that time, it was not so green, and there were not so many black particles suspended on it.

After throwing out the deconstruction technique, Li Nuo's heart moved slightly.

This underground river already has a considerable extraordinary effect, and can be regarded as a simplified version of the island-circling ocean currents in the Suman Islands.

As long as specific magic materials are dropped and a spell is spoken, anyone can use the underground river to quickly transfer directly to the territory of the Necronomicon sect.

How could the Earthline Pillar allow the Necronomicon Cult to build such a magical river underground?

Li Nuo couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

Is it because the Pillars of the Earth are only good at rock and soil magic and not proficient in water magic, so they can only let the Necronomicon Cult do this?

While Li Nuo was trying to figure it out, he saw the low-level acolyte taking out a series of magic materials made of bones from the magic pocket.

He threw all these things into the water, and before the other party was washed away by the river, he quickly took out the bone wand and chanted the spell.

After a unspeakable necromantic language, the magic materials floating on the river were put together, using the river water as glue to build a skeleton boat with a green lantern.

"Please, Your Excellency. This ship can take us to the sect's territory to the west."

The low-level acolyte bent down and invited Li Nuo to board the ship:

"The conditions are simple, please bear with me. May death bless you."

Li Nuo hummed, activated "Death Flight" and landed on the skeleton boat.

After the low-level acolyte boarded the boat, he transformed into a boatman, took out a slender bone pole from his magic pocket, and poked it into the water.

A bright dark green light bloomed on the water, and then the hull automatically moved without wind, moving quickly with the flow of the river, smoothly and quickly.

A low-ranking acolyte sprinkles a handful of powder into the lantern.

The green light was dazzling, weaving a curtain around the hull, hiding the boat and its passengers.

"Your Excellency, in about half an hour, we will reach the first level controlled by the sect. There, you can take the faster bone boat."

The low-level acolyte said humbly.

The banks on both sides are covered with mist, water vapor and strange-shaped rocks. There is no scenery to speak of along the way.

Li Nuo thought for a while and decided to use the words of a low-level acolyte.

Deconstruction can only obtain memory fragments from the past month, and cannot do anything about a month ago.

Many things can only be obtained by asking.

"How did you build this magical river under the eyes of the Pillars of Earth? Didn't those mud men stop you?"

Li Nuo asked bluntly.

The low-level acolyte chuckled slightly and said:

"Your Excellency, the Mudmen tried to destroy our River of the Dead, but it only made them face a worse situation..."

The low-level acolyte Balabala began to tell what happened half a year ago.

It is said that after the Leyline Pillar noticed the existence of this river, the Leyline Wizard began to try to destroy it.

Blocking, diverting, covering up, blowing up, and purifying, the Earthline Wizard used various methods.

The results are very unsatisfactory.

In many cases, although the river water polluted by the Necronomicon Cult was blocked, it also severely changed the underground structure, causing collapses and even small-scale earthquakes.

After many attempts, Leyline Pillar chose to give up temporarily.

They are spending time to transform the underground structure of the Resurrection Land to ensure that cutting off the River of the Dead will not trigger a geological disaster.

The Cult of the Necromancer will send out undead armies to interfere with the Leyline Pillars.

Mao estimates that such a huge and arduous project may take three years.

During this period, the undead acolytes on the river of the undead have to decide how to go.

"What will happen after three years?" Li Nuo asked again:

"Three years later, when the river is cut off, won't your Necronomicon sect fall into a passive position?"

The low-level acolyte clasped his hands in front of him, praised the teachings of the dead, and then said with a hint of fanaticism:

"No, Your Excellency. At the big rally three months ago, the faction chief priests said that it would only take half a year at most for us to receive assistance."

"Assistance?" Li Nuo raised his eyebrows hidden under the mask.

"Yes, great assistance." The low-level acolyte smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

Li Nuo connected the time clues in his mind.

Six months ago, defectors appeared in the empire, and undead soldiers appeared in the tombs on the front line.

Three months ago, the leaders of the various factions of the Necromantic Cult, also known as the faction chiefs, publicly announced that they would receive assistance in six months.

Calculating the time, the so-called "aid" should appear within the past two months.

Thinking of the Necromancer Sect's massive purchases of magical energy from the outside world, Li Nuo basically deduced that the assistance invited by the Necromancer Sect should be the "Netherworld Capital" in the outer space.

Yes, yes, I gained a lot from this trip. At least I found out the approximate time when the pollution field appeared, so I didn’t have to wait patiently.

Li Nuo was secretly happy and calmed down.

He was just about to make another spiel when he saw another bone boat appear at the three forks of the river.

The same simple boat, the same green lantern, also manned by a low-level undead acolyte, but the passenger on that boat was a humanoid creature wrapped tightly around his body.

"The Necromantic Lantern allows us to see the bone ships that are also under the magic curtain. This is to prevent accidental collisions."

The low-level acolyte explained to Li Nuo, then raised his bone wand and shot a harmless dark green beam of light towards the opposite ship.

The ship on the opposite side also shot out such a beam of light.

The two ships used lights to communicate and arranged the order of passing through the fork.

Li Nuo's bone boat goes behind, and the opponent's boat goes first.

The two boats, one behind the other, merged into the main trunk of the underground river.

"The passengers on that ship should also be here to sell magic gems." The low-level acolyte whispered.

Li Nuo nodded slightly and threw the deconstruction technique at the man.

【system information:】

[You are about to activate the deconstruction technique on the "pure light agent in disguise". 】

Well?

Wait a minute?

Pure light agent?

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment.

The level of this pure light agent is not high.

Judging from the demand for deconstruction, it should be around the strength of the Sixth Ring.

If there is a conflict with him, the threat is not great.

Li Nuo launched an all-round deconstruction.

After the weak sense of trance passed, a long string of system text was refreshed in Li Nuo's mind.

[You have obtained the target’s panel information:]

[You have obtained the target’s memory fragment:]

[Memory Fragment 1: "Lamont disguised as a businessman and arrived at Tatis on an ocean-going ship", completeness 100%]

[Memory Fragment 2: "Secret Instruction Book from Elder Luo Guang", completeness 100%]

【…】

Li Nuo temporarily brushed away other deconstruction results and directly clicked to view the "Secret Instruction Book".

After half a minute, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This Jingguang secret agent is not here for him.

It was a complete accident that he and the other party met here.

As early as two months ago, Lamont received the instruction letter from Elder Luo Guang. He set out from the Unas Ring and took a boat to the Tatis Empire to contact the Necronomicon Cult.

Counting today's boat trip, Lamont has been to the Necromantic Cult territory 6 times in total. It can be said that he is familiar with the road.

Every time he goes, he sells about 10 million points of soul energy.

And the identity he disguises is that of a traveling gray wizard who relies on the strength of the mysterious gray wizard.

Li Nuo closed the decomposition results in his mind and thought about it carefully, but he felt that something was not quite right.

When the "Noisy Tunnel" appeared, the Pure Light Tribunal was the first to arrive and was very well prepared, as if it had already known about such a polluted area.

Before the "Gray Wasteland" appeared, the Pure Light Tribunal also sent a team into the Gathering City.

Now, as the "Steel Forest of the Dead" appears, the Pure Light Tribunal has intervened again, and has sent spies to contact the Necronomicon Sect three months ago.

More importantly, three months ago, the faction leader of the Necromancer Sect announced the matter of "foreign aid" within the sect.

Is this a coincidence?

Why is it that before and after the emergence of these three pollution fields, there is always the figure of the Pure Light Court?

Li Nuo pondered endlessly.

The bone boat drifts with the current, rising and falling on the turbulent underground river.

The path encountered several forks, each with one or two bone boats joining the team and floating along the underground river to the west.

Since Li Nuo left the Junction of Misery a year ago, the above ground has changed a lot, but the underground is no different from before.

The sentry towers of the Necronomicon Cult still stand on both sides of the river, guarding the floating and filthy dark green underground river, spreading thick fog that obscures sight.

After passing nearly thirty watchtowers in a row, Li Nuo saw the Necronomicon sect checkpoint blocking the only way to pass.

It was a magical fortress made of piled bones, and just one look at it could make one's senses drop sharply.

It was like a huge thing with a huge mouth, lying on the underground river, swallowing sea water, and spreading a terrifying atmosphere to ordinary people. (End of chapter)
