Chapter 24 The Powerful Five
Early the next morning, the Igor family's temporary camp became bustling with people.
Now that you have decided to go to the ruins of the town to the west and try to find the magic rhythm of the Necromancer, for the lord, of course, this treasure hunting trip should not be delayed!
The food in the camp is almost low, and there is not much time left for Team Igor.
However, although this adventure trip to the ruins of the town was possible mainly because of the Lord's special physique that can drive away zombies, it is obviously unrealistic to just let him run there with a crowbar:
Although zombies should not pose a threat, who can say for sure what unexpected dangers may be hidden in a town that has been abandoned for more than 800 years?
Moreover, even if Xia Houyan himself had the courage to break into the city alone, Captain Alice Comstock, who cared deeply about the safety of the lord, would never allow such an act that was almost gambling with his life.
Therefore, choosing the right people before departure and forming an expedition team that can cope with emergencies has become the key to this trip.
The most unquestionable member of the expedition team is naturally Lord Eliot Igor - this does not mean that the Lord's magic and force level can play any role at critical moments, but the entire adventure team
They all count on him to act as a protective umbrella and maintain a two-meter-radius mobile safety zone at all times on the infection plain teeming with corpses!
The second confirmed member of the expedition team is our respected Junior Magister Victor Lowry - although this old rogue's magic research direction is despicable, he is a dignified fifth-level magician no matter what.
There is no reason to stay away from the peak of the team's combat power - not to mention, the purpose of this trip is the magic laboratory left by the Necromancer. Master Laurie's experience and knowledge as a senior mage can be put to great use.
The third member of the expedition team is naturally the resurrected Captain Alice Comstock: In addition to the superb swordsmanship of the female swordsman, which is worth relying on, the main reason why she joins the team is to know where the Lord is running.
Then the loyal captain of the guard will follow wherever he goes.
Tom Lawrence, a member of the Guards, was fortunate enough to become the fourth Arhat in the team: this was not because of his superb martial arts, but because he successfully got in with Xia Houyan after fishing for zombies with the lord.
He has a familiar face and has gained the lord's limited trust. He can be regarded as a complete connection - this also makes other guards who are eager to try and want to go out with the lord to get some fresh air greatly dissatisfied.
Finally, given that the lord wielding the crowbar, Alice with the sword, and Lawrence with the knife all belong to the melee party of heaven on the left and right, at the suggestion of Master Lowry, a man named Chris Mann
En's young guard was successfully shortlisted and selected as the last member of the expedition team - Chris, who was only in his early twenties, was the first fallen guard who was resurrected by the lord the night before yesterday, and he was also the only one in the team.
A talented archer who is proficient in archery.
Since the area of the safe zone that Xia Houyan can create is limited, he and Master Laurie discussed it and agreed that it was enough for the expedition to only include these five people - if there were more people, it would be easy to accidentally exceed the protection scope of the lord.
, creating obstacles to movement and potential combat.
In fact, Xia Houyan really wanted to use the "corpse control technique" to bring zombie Dave with him - although it looks ugly, the combat power of this zombie cannot be underestimated, and it can even be regarded as a reliable combatant.
Pets can also help the lord enjoy the Lexa addiction of locking the door and letting the dogs out.
However, other team members protested against this idea one after another, with Mr. Tom Lawrence being the most vehement, so Xia Houyan had no choice but to give up and lock Dave in the cage.
The other members of the guard team all stay in the camp to look after the house: since the camp is close to the forest, the risk of being attacked by the zombie tide is actually not great. The so-called "housekeeping" is mainly to guard against Dave's little brother in the cage.
In this way, a group of five people, riding their own horses, took advantage of the dim sky to leave the camp and headed west.
According to Master Lowry's arrangements, the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Igor family maintained a very strict formation along the way:
The lord who needs the most care and is the most critical is walking in the middle on his little white horse "Meteor", with Master Laurie and Alice providing protection on both sides of him; Lawrence, who is dying, walks in the front to explore the way.
The guard Chris, holding a short bow in his hand and carrying a quiver on his back, was the last to hold the line.
After the cross-shaped team left the camp, they only walked a few miles before entering an area controlled by a large number of zombies. The members of the expedition team once again witnessed the magical power of the Lord:
The two-meter radius with the lord as the center has completely become a forbidden area that zombies cannot enter. Their team is like an oil drop floating on the water, repelling the surrounding zombie waves. Infection that scares countless people in the empire
Traffic in the area is smooth.
Although he had already made up his mind not to delve into the Lord's special abilities, Master Laurie could not help but marvel. The other three warriors looked at the Lord with even more awe.
Only the lord himself knows what Mute Eats Tangyuan knows: the white prostitution resurrection technique that does not consume magic power, the calling soul that can resurrect the souls of the dead, and the ghost body that repels zombies. All these special functions of his should be the same as his own.
The identity of the earth traveler is related!
Otherwise, there is no reason to explain why the magic rules that had been valid for Elliot Igor before were as useless as breaking the contract when it came to him.
Furthermore, Xia Houyan has every reason to believe that the phantom of King Yama that appears when using the resurrection technique is definitely responsible for these strange situations!
——In any case, it is definitely not a normal phenomenon for an earthly deity to manifest his holiness in another world!
Xia Houyan secretly made up his mind. When he has time, he must put two major events on his agenda:
First, you need to test other types of forbidden magic to see if it is only the necromancy that has a bug;
Secondly, you must hang a painting scroll of Lord Yama on the wall, and respectfully burn a few sticks of incense for the elderly every day - you can still receive the care of Lord Yama in another world, so don't express your feelings to this underworld lord who has overstepped his power.
It really harms the traditional virtue of repaying kindness to travelers.
The lord was planning the future in his mind, and he was spinning the crowbar in his hand, feeling that he was becoming more and more proficient in using this weapon; however, before he could fully develop his artistic skills, Master Lowry had already approached on his horse from the left, and from
He stretched out his hand from the sleeve of his robe, pointed forward and said:
"Lord, look!"
Xia Houyan looked up and saw that the silhouette of a castle with towering towers and criss-crossing walls was gradually revealed in the morning mist in the distance.
"That's the place where the Igor family arose, the 'Raven Castle' built by Count Henry Igor eight hundred years ago!" Master Lowry sighed, "And that genius died
