Chapter 531 Skeleton Soldiers
"This place is so huge. I don't know where the teleportation array has teleported us to!"
Just as Adela said, although we don't know whether the moon in the sky is real or fake, the visibility here is really like in the dark night, and only with the bright moonlight can we see the surrounding scenery clearly.
After walking for more than half an hour in such an environment, all we saw was still a wilderness.
Lachi looked left and right, perhaps because he was suffocated by the silence, and sighed for no reason.
“Laki, I can tell you’re just ignorant. The largest necromancer’s magic tower is as big as an entire principality, and the smallest is the size of one or two small towns. We’ve only been walking for more than half an hour, so maybe we haven’t even entered the range of the magician’s tower yet!”
Here, apart from the occasional chirping of insects in the surrounding grass, the only sound was the sound of their movement, so Laci's words naturally fell into Deville's ears.
At this time, Deville's pursuit of Adela became even stronger.
Although everyone knew that Adela was of extraordinary status in the academy, no one knew how powerful Adela's background was.
But ever since the appearance of Waddington and the dozen or so griffins, Deville dared to conclude that Adela's family was so powerful that it was absolutely beyond his imagination.
And Lach is the biggest threat to him among his peers in the academy, so he must seize every opportunity to suppress Lach in front of Adela.
"Since you have read so many magic books, why don't you tell me how wide the scope of this necromancer's tower is and which necromancer it belongs to."
When Lachi was scolded in front of Deweir, his face turned dark instantly and he retorted in a bad mood.
"Stop arguing! Look ahead, there's a light!"
Just when Laci and Deville wanted to continue arguing, Zenia, who was walking in front, interrupted them and pointed to a high slope ahead.
Following her shout, everyone looked in that direction and indeed saw a faint light coming from the high slope.
"Could it be Messisa and Utre? Let's go over and take a look. These bastards actually dared to stop us just now. We must avenge them!"
Deweir started shouting immediately. They were all in a very bad state when they were being chased just now. Now was the time for them to show their abilities, so they couldn't wait to speak first.
"It doesn't look like fire. The light is too weak!"
Gervis shook his head. As a lord who had experienced many battles, he knew very well the characteristics of fire in the wild.
"Haha! Did you hear that, Deweir? That wasn't a fire! You said you were well-informed! You couldn't even recognize a fire!"
Lachi burst into laughter, in retaliation for Dewell's previous ridicule of him.
Although he didn't know whether it was fire or not, Gervis was a fire magician, so he naturally chose to believe Gervis.
"Whether it's a fire or not, we need to go check it out. Everyone be careful, the Necromancer's magic tower may have many traps!"
Adela turned a deaf ear to the arguments of Lachi and others, stared at the light over there for a long time, and finally expressed her own opinion.
Naturally, Laci and the others followed Adela's words and immediately passed the message to their guards as Adela reminded them, and then rushed together towards the direction where the light came from.
After walking for about ten minutes, everyone finally arrived near the high slope.
At this time, everyone could see clearly what was emitting the light.
Just as Gervis said, it was not a fire, but a big tree, and the light came from the fruits hanging on the tree.
"Level 2 potion! Moonlight Spirit Fruit? So many?"
"Haha, we're rich! Adela, you have to eat more later!"
When everyone saw the fruits hanging on the tree, they immediately recognized the origin of the fruits and couldn't help but feel happy.
This moonlight fruit is a second-level magic potion, and it is a fruit that is of great use to necromancers.
It takes ten years for the Moonlight Spirit Fruit to bloom, fifty years for it to bear fruit, and another fifty years for it to be truly mature.
The ripe moonlight spirit fruit will emit a reddish glow in the dark night. If no one picks the fruit within a month, it will fall off and lose its effectiveness.
A ripe Moonlight Spirit Fruit sold on the market would be worth at least a thousand gold coins, and there was still a shortage of people.
The reason why this moonlight fruit has such a high price, besides its too long growth cycle, is that it can increase the necromancer's affinity for dark creatures.
The Necromancer's main means of attack is to summon dark creatures to fight. Increasing affinity will not only allow him to better command these dark creatures, but will also most likely increase the number of summoned dark creatures.
"I've counted. There are 10 Moonlight Spirit Fruits on this tree. We'll each take one, and the rest will be given to Adela. What do you think?"
Lucky suggested graciously.
Of course, no one had any objection to this, and even if they did, they would not raise it.
"Thank you very much, everyone!"
Adela did not refuse. She was the only one present who knew necromancy, and the moonlight fruit would indeed be of great use to her.
She thought that if she found something valuable later, she would take a smaller share, or directly use gold coins to compensate her teammates after she got out.
After the few people confirmed the distribution, they immediately walked slowly and carefully towards the high slope under the protection of the guards.
Soon they reached the top of the high slope safely.
"There are stone tables and stone chairs here. It seems that this moonlight fruit tree was planted by the owner of the magician's tower. Everyone, be careful. There may be traps!"
This magician's tower is very old and it is obvious that it existed long before the catastrophe.
At that time, the Necromancer was still a symbol of evil, so not only would he have three burrows, he would also set traps within the tower to prevent intruders.
After hearing what Adela said, everyone naturally did not dare to be careless. They first ordered the guards to throw stones at the moonlight fruit tree. After throwing for a long time without seeing anything unusual, two guards were sent to approach the moonlight fruit tree.
"Master Lachi, there is nothing unusual!"
The two guards carefully came under the fruit tree. Nothing happened. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to shout to Laci and others.
"You guys go help too! Remember to pick the moonlight spirit fruit and put it in the jade box!"
When Deweir and his companions heard this, they immediately sent out several of their own guards.
At the same time, he reminded them to use the jade box to store the moonlight fruit. This jade box had been prepared before they came and was specially used to store magic potion plants, which could ensure that the efficacy of the magic potion would not be lost.
Most of it had been stored in Adela's storage space, but now it has been taken out and distributed to everyone.
If any potion is found next, it can be kept directly. Even Gervis got two.
"Yes, Master!"
The guards responded and then quickly headed towards the fruit tree.
When Laci's two subordinates saw this, they immediately started climbing the tree swiftly.
The moonlight fruit tree was not tall, only seven or eight meters. Soon, a guard used his hands and feet to climb to the moonlight fruit at the bottom.
After arriving in front of the Moonlight Spirit Fruit, the guard first opened the jade box, and then carefully reached out and picked up the fruit that was emitting a slightly red glow.
"good!"
Everyone was slightly excited to see that they harvested the Moonlight Spirit Fruit so smoothly. This was a good sign.
"Oh no, there is something on the ground, something is crawling out of the ground!"
But just when everyone looked up at the fruit tree and thought that everything was really safe, a guard on the periphery suddenly cried out loudly.
puff!
The guard's shouting stopped abruptly, and when everyone looked at him in astonishment, they saw that not only was there something slowly crawling out from the ground in front of him, but a complete dark creature had also crawled out from behind him.
It was a skeleton with green eyes. Although it had no flesh and blood, it was equipped with armor and a sword.
Although the armor and weapons were already rusted after years of corrosion, the skeleton soldier used this rusty long sword to pierce the guard's chest.
"It's the Skeleton Soldiers! Everyone, retreat first!"
Seeing that skeleton soldiers continued to emerge from the ground, in order to avoid being surrounded, the group immediately retreated to the rear.
