The Death List Novel - Chapter 425
Chapter 425 Tower Of Durrag
“Where am I?” Milleras touched his nearly quadrupled butt and stood up, looking around in a daze.
“It looks like a stone room!” Elistine shook his head and pulled Lorraine and El beside him. “What a gloomy place. Where’s Ferrar?”
After waking up a little, the few of them discovered that they were in a spacious stone room. The stone room was empty, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust. It was a bit like the Iron Star Fort they had been to. It seemed to be an ancient ruin that had not been traced for a long time.
“I’m here!” Joey’s voice came from behind them, but there was a strange tone in it.
“Eh? Are we still near Cloud Mist Mountain Range?” Elistine turned around and saw Joey standing at the window of the stone room, looking into the distance.
Although he did not know where this place was, he could see from the window that there was a layer of grey mist outside the stone room. Within the mist, there was a continuous mountain range that was overlapping with mountains. It should be the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
“I see. This place … shouldn’t be the Twin Towers, right?” Milleras walked to the window and his pupils shrank as he looked out of the window.
“Twin Towers?” Elistine covered his mouth in shock and took a few steps to the window. After looking out of the window, he smiled bitterly, “Filar, did you teleport randomly? Our luck is really good!”
Through the stone window, everyone quickly saw their surroundings. The stone room they were in was on the second floor of a stone fortress. The stone fortress was situated on a hillside. Below the fortress was an irregular circle of city walls and towers. There were also moats and suspension bridges. It really looked like the Twin Towers that used to be military fortresses.
The so-called moat had long since dried up, leaving behind only a deep ditch. The stone fortress at the center of the hillside had a total of three floors, each of which was almost 20 meters tall. Together, it was a tower-shaped fortress that was nearly 60 meters tall.
Although this height wasn’t low, because the fortress occupied an enormous area, the diameter of each floor was almost forty to fifty meters. As a result, looking down from above the fortress, the entire fortress looked like a short and thick tree stump. It really had the style of a dwarf. No wonder Milleras and Elistine thought it was the Twin Towers of the Sanata Dwarves after only a few glances.
“No, this isn’t the Twin Towers!” Joey’s expression was very strange. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times before he nodded towards the hazy mountain shadow in the distance. “The Twin Towers are at the southern foot of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Although the fog here is dense, the sunlight can still be transmitted in. Please observe the direction …”
“The teleportation doesn’t seem to take much time. I still remember the hour” Milleras looked up at the sky outside the window and slowly widened his eyes. He stared at Joey with some uncertainty, “Really? We’re in the north of the mountain range, aren’t we?”
“That’s right, our teleportation just now crossed the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. This is indeed a forbidden area for life. However, it is not the Twin Towers, but … the Dulag Tower!” Joey curled his lips, feeling speechless in his character.
Originally, he had teleported to the vicinity of the Mill Forest, so the Hunter World’s “peer card” could only go where he had already been. Now that they had left the fortress and the others who were lost, returning to the vicinity of Mill Forest was the best option.
Without Kelly, Robin, and the others, Milleras’ path to the Ancient Era had almost come to an end. After they were safe, regardless of what decision they made, the Sun Elf Prince would have to hire a new batch of people before he could set off.
As they passed through the inaccessible borders of Tyser and Ames, the Mill Fairy Court was already the best choice.
After arriving at Mill Forest, Joey guessed that the quest nodes that had been changed back then would be changed back. At that time, regardless of whether it was continuing the Ancient Road mission or choosing to return to the Shattered Star System, he had the initiative in his hands and would not waste the mission reward.
As for the two guilds, Joey believed that none of them would be annihilated. At least some of them would survive. He was now very sure that the low-level undead of the Undead Valley were all under the control of the Undead Mages. Since the necromancer had already teleported away with him, the apostles would consume some trump cards. Probably some lucky ones would survive, and Qin Lun’s original goal would not be completely frustrated.
However, they had actually been teleported into the Durrag Tower, which they had never been to before, completely exceeding their original judgement. Milleras, Elistine, and the others didn’t know the destination of the teleportation. They thought it was bad luck, but Joey knew that there were only two possibilities.
First, the principle of “peer card” does not conform to the laws of this world, and it has really become random teleportation. Second, when the “peer card” was activated, it had reached a certain synchronous frequency with the ancient teleportation array, and the two had a wonderful connection. As a result, the destination of the “peer card” was modified to teleport them here.
Joey believes the latter is more likely than the former. The Laws of Space and Time were incomparably mysterious, and it wasn’t impossible for such a thing to happen. Presumably, the teleportation array in the Undead Valley was very close to the Twin Towers. Although the dwarves had short legs, they wouldn’t be able to build a teleportation array in two places that close.
If it was built by the elves of the Tower of Durrag, that would make sense. By relying on this teleportation array, the elves could easily travel between the two sides of the mountain range. Moreover, the necromancer had once said that this was a Uviron Elf teleportation array, and this was confirmed from the side.
“Ferrari, if this is the Tower of Durrag, then why are there no undead?” Elistine looked around in fear. He couldn’t help but get closer and grabbed Joey’s arm.
“It’s daytime now, and there’s still sunlight. I think those undead should be hiding!” The short and sturdy Lorraine climbed up the windowsill, grabbed the lintel and poked his head out of the window, looking around at the surroundings of the Tower of Durrag.
“I think I know something about this place!” A tender voice suddenly sounded from behind them, and Mage Angelo’s apprentice El whispered.
“You know?” Joey looked at the youth curiously.
“I … am not sure!” Seeing that everyone was looking back at him, Al lowered his head shyly and rubbed the corners of his clothes.
“Don’t be afraid, tell me!” Elistine rolled his eyes at the two men beside him and patted the youth on the shoulder to encourage him.
“This … I heard from my teacher once about the situation of the Durrag Tower.” Al calmed down and pointed at the thin fog outside the window. He mustered up his courage and said, “The situation here is a little different from what Teacher described. I heard that there was no sun here before, and the Cloud of Death almost completely obscured the light.”
Regardless of whether it was daytime or night, countless undead lingered here. “But now, it seems that the Cloud of Death is much thinner. Even the sunlight has penetrated into it. This cannot be called a forbidden area for life!”
“That makes sense!” Everyone nodded in deep thought.
“In that case, the spread of the undead from the two forbidden zones to the outside world may not only be guided by external factors. Apart from the conspiracy theory, it may also be related to the changes in the living environment!” Milleras’ eyes lit up as he murmured, “If that’s the case, then our Sun Fairy’s migration route will need to be slightly modified. I’m afraid we won’t be able to enter the green wilderness through the Poisonous Snake Forest anymore.”
“I say, guys! Can we discuss these things later? The sun is setting soon. Even though most of the undead here have dissipated, the rest are not something we can deal with, right?” Lorraine pouted and nervously gripped the double-edged axe in his hand.
“En, Ferrari, let’s get out of here!” Elistine nodded her head repeatedly like she was pecking at rice. She wasn’t afraid of any skeleton shelves, but she was a little afraid of the eerie environment of the Tower of Durrag.
‘”We can’t leave immediately. Although the Tower of Dulag has been abandoned for thousands of years, there were many high-grade undead here before. There might have been some traps laid here. Besides, even if we leave the tower, we still need to find a safe way out.”
Joey pondered for a moment before suddenly shaking his wrist. A black cord appeared on his arm and pulled out an object from the corner of the stone room.
“This is … that necromancer, he was also teleported over by you!” Milleras cried out in surprise.
“Hehe, isn’t this to help Robin and the others?” Joey smiled meaningfully. “Without this lich, the undead in that valley would lose their organization, and their chances of survival would be much greater.”
“I’ll chop him down, so it won’t cause any trouble!” Lorraine excitedly picked up the axe and walked towards the undead mage who was still struggling.
“There’s no need. It’s no threat to us now. I know some interrogation techniques. You guys go out and find a way. I’ll pry its mouth open.” Joey licked his lips and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
“Alright then, be careful. Undead Magicians have many methods. If they can’t, then purify them directly!” Elistine instructed worriedly.
“Mm-hmm, I know!” Joey coaxed them out of the stone room.
“Hehe, such an interesting toy can’t be broken instantly!” Joey looked back at the dying necromancer with an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes. “It’s a pity that every time something fun happens, there’s too little time. Should we get some information first and wait until we get out of the tower before we play?”
“Why don’t we just play around? Uncle Joey doesn’t have Qin Lun’s trick. I’m afraid he won’t be able to get any important information in such a short period of time!” Joey muttered to himself with a sad expression as he caressed the skull of the necromancer. “Leave it to that brat … no, no, no, we can’t let it happen this time. It’s been so hard to come across such a new thing!”
“Wait, I remember that kid getting something back in the Hunter’s World. It seems to be very helpful to the current situation!” Joey’s eyes suddenly lit up. A trace of surprise flashed in his blood eyes as he hurriedly retrieved the item from his storage space.
It was a palm-sized person with golden hair, wearing a woman’s suit and a short skirt with buttocks. The expression on his face was lifelike, and his charming face looked like a living person.
