The Death List Novel - Chapter 428
Chapter 428 Bone Flag Totem
Seeing Joey’s expression, Milleras shrugged his shoulders and didn’t ask about the fate of the necromancer.
“Let’s go, let’s get out of here!” Joey walked to the left along the corridor outside the stone room. He got the route to and from the Durrag Tower from Hashid, and even the underground part. This forbidden area of life was no longer a secret to him.
Milleras and Elistine exchanged glances and followed closely behind the youth. Lorraine, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and shrunk his head as he approached the stone room, reaching out to push open the stone door.
“Lorraine, what are you doing?” Soon, a soft whisper sounded in the dwarf’s ears.
“Santa’s up! El, when did you stand behind me? Did you want to scare me to death?” The dwarf was shocked and stroked the soft beard on his chin angrily. He wasn’t as old as Elder Loyle, who had a long beard that stretched to his knees, but his habit of stroking his beard had been fully learned by the old dwarf’s side.
“Oh, I’m sorry!” Al approached the dwarf and asked softly, “Do you want to see the corpse of the necromancer?”
‘”Don’t you want to see how that guy died? He harmed Elder Lowell and your teacher …” The dwarf said with some grief, “I heard from the elders that there are many ways to revive the undead. If it doesn’t die, I can give it another axe … Eh, why do you smell so fragrant?”
“Ah! Nothing, then look, Ferrari and the others are already far away, we need to seize the time!” Al was shocked and suddenly realized that he and the dwarf were almost face-to-face. He immediately retracted his head like an electric shock and buried it in front of his chest shyly. His cheeks slowly flushed red.
“En!” Lorraine did not notice El’s unusual state. He was completely focused on the Lich corpse in the stone room.
“Squeak!” The stone door was a little heavy, but the young dwarf did not lack strength. He easily pushed open a crack and looked inside.
At this moment, there was only one last ray of light left in the setting sun, and because there were still thin clouds of death above the Tower of Durrag, the light inside the stone room was exceptionally dim. Lorraine’s eyes widened. From the crack in the stone door, he discovered a faint figure standing in the middle of the stone room.
“Sure enough, he’s not dead!” Lorraine felt a wave of hot blood coming straight to his forehead. His face instantly turned as red as blood. He pushed the stone door with his left hand and rushed into the room with his double-edged axe in his right hand …
“Lorraine!” Elton, who was blaming himself, was shocked. He did not think too much and hurriedly chased after the stone room, wanting to grab the dwarf.
However, the dwarf who had rushed into the stone room before him suddenly fell silent. He raised his axe high in his right hand and stood there motionlessly like a stone statue carved by the dwarves.
“What’s wrong with you, Lorraine?” Al gently patted Lorraine’s shoulder. His attention was on the dwarf, and for a moment, he neglected to observe the scene inside the stone room.
Lorraine’s shoulders were still warm from the tentacles, making the apprentice feel much more at ease. However, from the side, the dwarf’s face was covered in cold sweat. His bull’s eyes were so wide that they almost fell out of his sockets, as if he had seen a scene that shocked him incomparably.
Al couldn’t help but follow the dwarf’s line of sight and look forward. When he saw the’thing ‘in front of them, his face instantly turned pale without blood.
In the middle of the dim stone room, a blurry figure stood there. It should be the corpse of the Lich. However, the current “it” was a bit like a totem and a flag.
The slender leg bones were artificially twisted together, and the soles of their feet stood upright and stabbed into the ground. His arms were cut off from his elbows, and he raised his shoulders to form the shape of a cross with his body. After a pair of forearms were removed, they were placed behind the leg bones like struts, supporting the skeleton so that it could not fall down.
The Lich’s chest and abdomen were completely sliced open. Its ribs were blooming like flowers, and it looked like a big mouth covered with fangs and sharp teeth. This time, the skull had truly turned into a skull. The hair and skin had been completely stripped off, and the skull had been emptied. It was cleanly placed on the top of the neck bone.
However, its lower jaw and skull had disappeared, leaving only half of its skull incomplete, with an extremely strange shape. In the middle of its chest, there was a square box that looked like iron, not iron, not bone.
This box seemed to be the Lich’s fate box. However, it was now filled with cracks, and its color was ashen. It was as if it would turn into ashes if it touched it. The missing skull and lower jaw held it up and down, completely embedded in the chest.
The original magic robe of the Lich was torn apart and tied to the shoulder, which lacked the forearm, that is, to the crossbar of the cross. The magic robe was stretched open by the ribs, like an ancient war flag, slightly trembling in the breeze blowing out of the window.
‘”Ah ~ ~ ~” The apprentice let out a shrill cry of alarm. The loud voice made him feel very strange. He was actually able to emit such a high decibel.
“Pa!” The stiff dwarf finally woke up. He quickly covered his mouth and said in a low voice, “Let’s get out of here!”
“Wuwu!” Al ignored the dwarf’s palm and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice. However, his legs trembled a little. He tried a few times but failed to take any steps. He could only let Lorraine drag him out half-dragged.
“Bang!” The dwarf closed the stone door again. After the door was closed, the legs of the two youths of different races couldn’t help but soften and they fell to the ground.
“Lorraine, don’t tell anyone about what happened just now. Perhaps Lord Filar doesn’t want anyone to see this.” After regaining his composure, Al’s face turned pale as he reminded his fellow dwarves.
“En!” Lorin agreed sullenly and pulled him up from the ground. The two of them chased after the three of them as if they had escaped and left the stone room far away.
…
“Ferrari, those two little fellows seem to be scared. What did you do to that lich?” Looking at the panting Lorraine and El behind him, Milleras smiled and stabbed Joey with his fingers.
“Nothing much, just a flag totem!” Joey grinned and muttered, “Two kids who don’t appreciate art!”
Behind him, Paikonoda twitched the corner of her mouth. Compared to the bone flag totem in the stone room, the brigade beauty suddenly felt that Watkin, whose body was filled with explosives, and the chivalrous man who had been dissected and assembled, were not so miserable. At the very least, the two of them had not been made into strange specimens.
“Alright, let’s go. Let’s search the library and leave!” Joey’s good mood had been ruined by the slander, and his mood was much lower.
Just as he was circling the corner of the corridor, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him. A starlight lit up in his retina and a waterfall-like cold light slashed towards his left shoulder.
“Be careful!” Behind Joey, Milleras and Elistine’s faces changed at the same time.
In the face of the sudden attack, Joey’s face was stunned for a moment, and then a ferocious expression appeared on his face. His left hand grabbed the cold light without hesitation, his right hand pulled out like a whip, and the Evil Dagger pierced towards the figure in front of him like a streak of black lightning.
“I’ll give you my left hand, but leave my life behind!”
The silhouette seemed to hear Milleras and Elistine screaming in alarm. It seemed as if it had hesitated for a moment. The cold light that slashed towards Joey nimbly turned and blocked the Evil Dagger like a shield.
“Ding!” The collision of the Evil Dagger and the cold light produced a crisp metallic sound.
“Ferrari, stop! It’s one of us!” Joey was about to pounce on him again when he felt his arm tighten and Elistine grabbed him tightly behind him.
“One of our own?” Only then did Joey realize that the shield that blocked the Evil Dagger was actually an exaggerated double-edged axe.
“Could it be” Joey raised his eyebrows and stared at the figure in front of him.
The figure in front of him wore a tight suit of armor, silver wristbands and leather gloves, his long, fiery red hair, and his handsome face with melon seeds. He looked valiant and valiant. He was actually Louvetta’s follower, Idrea.
“Ha, you guys are also saved!” A voice that sounded like a lark came from behind Idrya. A female elf with a large bow on her back put down her longbow and shouted in surprise.
This woman seems to be called … Les? Joey’s eyes lit up and he quickly remembered the identity of the female elf in front of him. This was a young female apostle who was always stuck by Kelly’s side. The longbow in her hand was the Beast King Hunting Bow that Kelly had bought from Qin Lun.
“How did you all get saved? What about Commander Robin and the others?” Milleras asked happily.
‘”We’re not too sure. It’s just me and Idrea. I remember attacking the teleportation array, and then a white light lit up on my body … When I regained my senses, I was already here, and Idrea was the only one by my side!” Les said with a worried expression.
It turned out that it was because of the peer card that the two of them stood closer to us, so they were also affected. And because he wasn’t by my side, when he landed on the ground, he was a little far away from us.
Joey quickly understood the relationship and let out a sigh of relief. Then, he was a little annoyed.
Although Qin Lun had been hiding his identity as an apostle from Robin and the others, even if he exposed it, it was nothing. It was an internal conflict among the people. However, there was always a guilty conscience that affected Joey. Of course, he wouldn’t be too happy.
“Let’s go together when we’re here!” Joey said indifferently, leading the way. However, he had learned a lesson this time and opened Gannett’s left eye and the eye of the clock.
Before this, Joey didn’t like Qin Lun’s cautious fighting style. He was very sensitive to danger and had developed confidence. However, he was not stubborn in a fighting style. As long as it was conducive to defeating the enemy, Joey could accept any good influence.
Under his leadership, the group quickly arrived at the stone steps downwards and headed towards the underground library of the Durrag Tower.
