Chapter 79 Naomi's Confusion
The Alchemy City was filled with a sense of impending storm, and Naomi Woz didn't understand why her people wanted to stay in this place.
She was wrong before. She believed the so-called prophecy and went to the sewer of Alchemy City alone to take risks, causing her tribesmen to almost die in the sewer.
Naomi also didn't understand why the prophecy had such a great appeal that made her rush in regardless of the danger.
Although she was wrong, she saved them at the risk of her own life.
Even if it meant punishment, Naomi would accept it, but why did they all seem to have changed so suddenly?
The former druid community made Naomi feel very warm. Although she had no parents, the druid who adopted her had always been very caring towards her.
But now... Naomi looked around. In this huge hotel lobby, only the druids were there, and the tribesmen around Naomi seemed to be staring at him intentionally or unintentionally.
As soon as Naomi stood up from her chair, everyone's eyes fell on her, and someone loudly asked her what she was going to do. Naomi could only casually say that she was going to get a glass of water, but she was already a little flustered.
This feeling of close surveillance made her feel uneasy and she wanted to escape from this place immediately.
Naomi felt that something must have gone wrong with these tribesmen. It was very likely that they had been affected by the witch's illusion, which had not yet been completely eliminated.
But what can I do?
She didn't know anyone in this alchemy city, and she didn't know who to ask for help.
For some reason, Naomi's mind flashed with the image of Amberthau. Although the lich was scary, he seemed quite reliable. He could have killed all the druids and taken the idol from her, but in the end he kept his promise and sent all the druids out of the sewer, and did not take the precious idol away.
Naomi couldn't help thinking, if she gave him another commission now, maybe she could figure out the reason for the strange behavior of the tribesmen? When she thought of this, Naomi was a little tempted.
She is not a law-abiding person, otherwise she would not have risked going to the sewer alone.
Now that he had the intention to run away, he began to look around, looking for an opportunity to escape.
"That's a window over there. If I turn into a cat, I can get out through the gap. There's an alley outside. I can run out and turn a corner to hide!"
The success rate of this plan seemed to be quite high, so Naomi took the opportunity to pour water and slowly approached.
But just as she was about to reach the window, she heard a loud shout from behind: “Naomi, what are you doing?!”
Naomi was startled and the cup in her hand fell to the ground.
The oak cup fell to the floor with a dull sound, like a heavy hammer hitting Naomi's head.
Naomi turned around and looked at Van Jones, who had a serious face. This respected druid elder was usually very gentle, so why did he suddenly become so fierce? That look was as if he wanted to kill her.
Naomi said tremblingly: "Uncle Jones, what's wrong with you? I didn't do anything!"
Van Jones walked over to Naomi, grabbed her wrist, and said in a cold tone: "I have sensed the changes in the magic power in your body. You want to transform and escape. Do you think I don't know?"
Naomi felt a sharp pain in her wrist. They were actually monitoring her and not missing even the slightest detail.
Naomi struggled to break free from Van Jones's hand and said excitedly, "That's what I want to ask you. Why are you watching me like a prisoner? If you think I was wrong last time, you can just tell me. I am willing to accept any punishment. What are you doing?"
Naomi's words made many druids look strange. Faced with the pure eyes of the girl, some even turned their heads away and dared not look directly at her.
But Van Jones had no shame at all, and had no intention of explaining. He just warned Naomi, "Don't try to escape. Wait here obediently, and then you will know everything."
Although Naomi was very dissatisfied, Van Jones was also an elder who had watched her grow up. Seeing how serious he was, Naomi had no choice but to put away her grievances and sat back in her seat angrily, muttering softly, "I don't want to run away. When I get back, I will complain to the Great Elder! If you don't sincerely apologize to me, I will never forgive you!"
After hearing what the little girl said, someone finally couldn't help but walked up to Van Jones and whispered in his ear, "Is it really okay for us to do this? We watched Naomi grow up, and she's also a druid."
Van Jones said firmly: "She is not. She was just a transaction from the beginning. Don't you all know it very clearly? Have you forgotten it after all these years?"
The druid's face was gloomy, but he still retorted: "But Naomi is innocent, she knows nothing!"
Van Jones angrily punched his companion, knocking him to the ground, and then shouted: "Balance is an illusion. Where mortals trample, nature will suffer. Unity is just a lie. Mortals only want to tame beasts and burn the wilderness. We are thunder and storm. We will destroy the ignorant and reckless mortals and make a pure world for new life! Do you want to break this oath?!"
After hearing this cruel oath, the druid who was knocked to the ground finally lowered his head and dared not speak again.
Only Naomi looked at the scene in confusion.
"Uncle Jones, are you crazy?! What are you doing?"
The little girl walked over to the knocked down druid, helped him up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? I will heal you."
However, the druid not only did not appreciate it, but also pushed her to the ground.
The druid said to Naomi viciously: "Don't worry about it! Stay away from me!"
The little girl looked at her people in shock. The druid beside her just watched coldly, and no one said a word to comfort her.
Naomi's eyes suddenly turned red. She really didn't understand what happened. Why did she suddenly become hated by everyone? Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Naomi said in a choked voice: "I... I know I ran around before and put you in danger. I know I was wrong. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I really didn't mean it."
But no matter how she apologized, these former relatives remained indifferent. They just stared at her with cold eyes, fearing that she would run away.
Naomi sat on the ground helplessly, she didn't know what was happening or what to do.
Is this really the effect of the witch's magic, or have they never accepted me? What am I waiting for, trapped here? Just as Naomi was in despair, the door of the hotel was suddenly opened, and a man and a woman walked in side by side.
Naomi recognized the young man at a glance and said excitedly, "It's you! Mr. Lich!"
Amber smiled at the little girl and said, "We meet again, why are you crying? Did you guess that you will have to give me money again?"
"Ah? What did you say?" Naomi was so upset that she held back her tears after hearing what Amberxiu said.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amber Xiu did not continue to explain. He turned to look at the druids with strange expressions and said, "I saved you last time, so you should have left. You insisted on staying here and cooperating with those lunatics. You are asking for your own death and you can't blame others."
Without a word, Van Jones roared and his body swelled up, turning into a grizzly bear.
The same goes for other druids, some transform and some cast spells.
In the blink of an eye, several magic vines lashed towards Amberxiu, followed by two ravens and three wild wolves.
But such a fierce attack could not cause any harm to Amber, because the Undead Queen standing next to him had already taken action in advance.
Dark green energy lit up between her fingers, rippling like water waves, and wherever it went, life withered.
This is the most basic necromancy spell, Chilling Touch, which causes dark energy damage to living targets.
In the hands of other necromancers it is at most a trick, but when Withered Rose casts this most basic necromancy spell it is like a high-level necromancy spell, not only turning a single-target spell into group damage, but also multiplying its power by who knows how many times.
The magic vines immediately shattered into ashes when they came into contact with the dark energy. The druids who had transformed into wild beasts howled under the illumination of the dark green light. Their transformation effects were broken almost in the blink of an eye, and they turned back into human form, and then quickly turned into mummies.
Van Jones never expected that his people were so vulnerable. He quickly wanted to take out the statue of Silvanus and use the power of the gods to fight against this terrible necromancy.
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt his body become stiff.
The grizzly bear's body collapsed with a loud bang, and the magic power in his body went completely out of control, causing him to return to human form.
However, this is just the beginning.
Van Jones found that his skin was turning gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. He felt no pain, only numbness. It was as if the cells in his body were dying, and he was completely powerless to stop it.
A faint stench of decay emanated from his body and entered his own nostrils.
Only then did Van Jones realize that he was actually transforming into a undead.
I have never heard of a spell that can turn a living person into a dead spirit. How could this lich be so terrifying? Van Jones looked at Amber Xiu in horror and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he could not say a word. Because most of his body had been turned into a dead spirit, his lifeless lungs could not exhale, and his stiff neck could not vibrate his vocal cords. In the end, he could only open his mouth, and then his whole body turned gray.
Naomi looked at the scene in shock. All the tribesmen died tragically in an instant, and she didn't even react. The fear and confusion made her unable to even stand up.
Amber Xiu walked to Naomi and said to her: "The truth is cruel, you should get some sleep first."
Amber shot out a beam of magic light, which landed on Naomi, causing the poor druid girl to fall into a deep sleep.
After doing all this, Amber said to Withered Rose: "Okay, now the initiative is in our hands. It's time to talk to those alchemists."
To celebrate today's strong push, there will be a 10,000-word update today, with 3,000 words in the first chapter, and another 7,000 words to be updated in the evening!
