Chapter 58 A sense of ceremony
Outside the castle shrouded in darkness, two agile figures were climbing up the wall holding onto ropes.
Although the brothers Dahei and Erha like to lie, they are quite capable. They easily chose the path with the least magic traps. Not only did they successfully break through the outer security, they also climbed over the wall and sent the grappling hook to the top of the tower.
Simply climb up this wall to enter the castle tower, and then explore the castle from top to bottom.
The two brothers just wanted to take a quick walk around the castle, then draw a random map and run away.
They didn't want to come on an adventure in the first place, but those holy warriors took the two of them directly to the vicinity of Amber's territory and forced them forward with bows and arrows.
Not only that, these holy warriors also performed some tricks on the two of them. If they wanted to escape, they would probably be caught up by them soon. There were also many light magic spells with tracking effects.
Therefore, there is no way to fool around with the infiltration, and we can only think of ways to shorten the adventure time.
Although they were confident in their skills, both Dahei and Erha were still frightened by the name of Ultraman Tiga. He was a legendary lich who had tortured the two brothers to death, leaving them with a deep trauma.
If I had known that this was the target, I would have offered at least ten times the price. Now I am losing a lot of money and my life is in danger.
The two could only pray that the lich was hiding in the vault counting gold coins and would not discover their infiltration. The two brothers swore to every god that they would not take even a stone with them and would leave after leaving a few footprints.
It’s a pity that the gods did not favor them.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Erha's raven suddenly screamed, scaring the two brothers who were climbing the wall.
Erha knew very well that his wild animal companion would not bark randomly, and he must have discovered some danger, so he looked towards his bird, and then saw his own bird flying in a strange trajectory.
"Down there? What's down there?"
Erha understood the raven's warning and looked down.
After just one look, Erha felt his hands and feet go weak.
"What's wrong?" Dahei muttered, and also looked down. He was so scared that his hands shook and he almost loosened the rope on his hands.
It was a terrifying monster.
A giant several meters tall, wearing heavy black armor, with an empty space where his head should be, save for a constantly changing dark purple light.
"This is... the Headless Horseman?!" Erha said in shock.
Dahei said quickly: "Have you ever seen such a big headless knight? Is this a fucking hill giant?"
Erha echoed his brother's words: "That means chopping off the head of the hill giant and making it into a headless knight!"
Dahei wanted to say something, but he saw the headless knight below pulling out a long sword, and quickly reminded: "Fuck, this thing has discovered us, hurry... crawl..."
The last word was so quiet that it was almost inaudible.
Because the dark blade had already passed through Dahei's neck and chopped off his head.
Dahei had never thought that the knife had hit his neck when they were at least 15 meters apart? And it was so fast and so silent that even the sound of the knife swinging could not be heard? Before he died, Dahei had only one thought.
Damn, that bottle of so-called life-saving potion was a fake. I was cheated by those paladins.
But Erha saw something different.
When the blade came, three kinds of magic light flashed on Dahei's body. Armor of Agathys, Stoneskin and Mage Shield, the three defensive spells were indeed activated, but none of them could block the dark and inconspicuous blade, and they couldn't even stop the long sword for half a second.
As Dahei's head fell, Erha also fell downwards along with his headless body.
The knife just now not only cut off Dahei's neck, but also cut the ropes of both of them.
The knife was so precise, fierce and extremely terrifying that Erha didn't even have time to grieve for his brother's death before his body was tightly bound by chains.
It turned out that the long knife was tied to a chain and swung out. After cutting off the big black head, it circled twice as if it had life and tied up Erha's body.
The triple magic defense of Armor of Agathys, Stoneskin and Mage Shield was automatically activated, but it also failed to save Erha's life.
The thick chain was stretched straight in the air, and blood splattered everywhere.
Erha was cut in half and his eyes were already closed when he fell to the ground.
At this time, Amber Xiu hurriedly arrived and appeared beside the Headless Brother.
"Brother Tiga, you came at the right time. We just discovered two intruders." Headless Brother said proudly.
Headless Brother now really treats Amberxiu as a brother and as soon as he discovers the invasion, he decisively kills the two men.
Under the power of a legendary warrior, no protective magic is of any use.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amber looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground, couldn't help but sigh and said, "Gareth, next time you meet such a small character, try to leave the body intact."
"What's wrong? Are you still missing this little bone?"
Headless Brother thought that Amber was going to use the bodies of these two people to create undead.
But Amber shook his head and said, "For the spell of talking with the dead, the body must be relatively intact. Beheading or cutting it in half won't work."
Talking with corpses is the most classic necromancy spell, which can temporarily seal the soul of the deceased in the corpse and order the other party to answer questions. Generally, five questions can be asked, and there is no way to lie.
Amberxiu wanted to know how these two people suddenly came into his castle, and whether the group of holy warriors had any plan.
But now the body is badly mutilated, and it is impossible to perform the Talk with the Dead technique.
The headless man said a little embarrassedly: "Ah, I forgot. I'm not very good at magic, and I completely forgot about the spell of talking with the dead."
Amber Xiu naturally would not blame the diligent Headless Brother, and consoled him, "It's okay, I can just turn them both into undead, it's just a little more troublesome."
Amber summoned a pile of wizard hands, picked up the bodies of Dahei and Erha, and sent them to his laboratory.
Looking at the corpse that was put together again, Amber suddenly had a strange feeling. It seemed that this was the first time he created a dead body using such a traditional method.
Since he was promoted to Legend and gained the ability to create souls, all his skeleton troops have used created souls to replace the souls of living people. Not only that, even the corpses were collected from the battlefield of the last Warcraft War.
"This is outrageous. If the other members of the Mourning Poetry Society knew about this, they would probably laugh at me for hundreds of years."
With a strange feeling, Amberxiu began to sew up the two corpses, and then began the first traditional undead creation in his life.
Since it’s the first time, we need to have some sense of ritual and just make them all high-level undead.
Sorry for the late update today, the keyboard has been completely shipped and I have to replace it tomorrow.
Please give me some votes to comfort you, please!
