When Downton left the dungeon, he left Jackson some magic stones and wine with healing effects. Coupled with the extremely high concentration of magic energy in Polusna, it recovered quickly.
Jackson, who was recovering from his injuries every day, was bored. In order to please his owner, he worked hard to find the whereabouts of the vault, but still in vain. However, one morning last week, he heard a subtle sound coming from the underground.
"Is this here?" Standing in the Duke's luxurious bedroom, Downton looked at the secret passage leading underground. He did not go in immediately, but looked at the surrounding environment.
"Yes!" Jackson was a little embarrassed. He was a ghoul who liked luxury and grandeur, so he chose the bedroom that originally belonged to the Duke to live in. Logically speaking, this room should be reserved for the owner.
Hu Tao stood at the entrance of the secret passage, stood on tiptoes and leaned out to look down, but unfortunately he could see nothing in the dark.
"What's down there?" Downton was worried that he wouldn't be able to disarm the trap unless he opened the secret passage through a switch, but he never found it, so he had to give up. "What monster are you talking about?"
"Below is a spiral staircase, about a hundred meters deep underground, and then there is a small square, guarded by only one monster." Jackson explained in detail, "That guy seems to be an undead, but there are mechanical parts in the whole body, which is quite difficult to deal with.
."
"Have you tried to lure that monster out?" Downton smashed a vase into the secret passage. The echo was clear, but no footsteps could be heard.
"The order it received should be to guard the treasury. I went down to investigate five times. Even if it sees it, it will stop when it reaches the secret passage."
Jackson lied. In fact, he had only gone down there twice. If he hadn't been worried about his owner asking about the environment below, he might annoy him if he couldn't answer. With his timid character, he would never go down there a second time.
"Quasimodo, lead the way. Celes and Hutao stay here. They are not allowed to come down without my order!" Now that the condition of the secret passage has been discovered, there is no need to send out ghouls to investigate. Now we need to
What he did was kill that monster.
"Here you go!" Throwing the Dawnbringer crossbow to Jackson, Downton held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other. Wearing heavy armor, he followed the five abominations down the spiral staircase.
This is an octagonal square about the size of half a basketball court, with stone pillars erected, and a 1.8-meter-tall monster standing quietly in the center of the square.
"Warning. Intruder found." A dull mechanical voice sounded, "Please leave within ten seconds, otherwise you will be expelled and expelled!"
"Don't worry, it won't attack as long as you don't go down the stairs." Jackson reminded everyone, telling Quasimodo not to be too anxious, "But as long as it attacks, it will fight back immediately. It will not stop until it chases out of the secret passage.
Down!"
"Homer, do you see what this is?"
With the help of the lighting spell projected from the grimoire, Downton observed the monster. It was wearing a tattered costume. As expected, it must have been in a battle.
"It's an undead butler who is half construct and half creature." Homer is worthy of being called a great encyclopedia. He directly reported the origin of the monster, "After the death of a powerful magician, his body was used
Use it as a template, add mechanical parts, activate it with necromancy, and transform it into an undead structure. This was a very popular 'guardian butler' in the deathrattle plane more than 2,000 years ago."
"Butler?" Downton felt slightly disgusted. With such a monster guarding the door, he would definitely have nightmares.
"Yes, one car costs about six to seven million gold marks, which is a symbol of wealth." Homer joked, "We are lucky. It must have experienced brutal battles before. Look at its body, the degree of damage is more than 100%.
Seventy, there is also this 'square', which is actually a magic circle, used to gather magic energy and provide power for the housekeeper, but it was also destroyed."
"No wonder it can't chase it out. It turns out it has limited power!" Jackson understood. "Let's just wait until it is scrapped and then take it into the vault. I have fought it before and it is very powerful."
"It's impossible. The magic energy naturally absorbed by its core is not enough to cope with high-intensity battles, but it is enough for daily consumption. This is why it has not been scrapped." Homer released the devil's eye to detect the butler's body, "
Call Celes and the others down and come together, it won’t be difficult.”
"Let's take this opportunity to train in team combat!" Looking at the little Lolita with strong fighting spirit, Downton knew that blindly suppressing her would not work, so he simply let her go and fight, "Quasimodo and I are responsible for the containment.
Resist the butler's attack, Hutao will attack!"
"no problem!"
Hutao carried the battle ax and made up his mind to perform well.
Quasimodo charged and then collided with the butler solidly. The latter took three steps back. Downton estimated its attack power and defense power based on the marks it hit on the demon servant and the degree of damage.
"Probably around the third level of war, but we don't rule out the possibility of instantly increasing the combat power." Downton rushed behind the butler in a few steps, picked up his shield, and slapped it on the back.
The housekeeper staggered, but as soon as he turned around, Downton had already moved around, got behind it, and slashed with his sword again, leaving a dent in its mechanical body.
Quasimodo's heavy punch and Walnut's battle ax also hit it.
"Have you hacked to death!" Walnut quickly swung his axe, and the butler's arm collided with a fierce steel clash.
"Don't just focus on attacking and moving. Always stay to the side and behind the housekeeper. If it wants to attack you, it will be very awkward and it will take more time to move. This is a fighter opportunity for us.
." Downton taught.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Walnut bumped into Quasimodo's thigh and almost fell down. Seeing the butler's arm smashed down, Downton took the lead and waved his shield to block it.
"Be careful!" Celes was very worried, but unfortunately she didn't have a locked gaze and couldn't provide magical assistance, otherwise she would hit one of her own.
"Can you tell Quasimodo to move away? It's too much in the way." Walnut complained. It was too big and took up a lot of space for dodges.
"Don't think of it as a burden, but as a human shield. You have to make reasonable use of its super defensive power." Downton demonstrated. When faced with some attacks, he would not block them, but start from them.
Quasimodo flashed past behind him, and then drew his sword.
"Its defense has reached the dragon-slaying level, so there is no need to waste it too much." Homer added, "A person's energy is limited. If you defend, then the attack will be lost at the same time, and energy and magic energy will also be consumed. If
If you move properly, you can dodge while maintaining attack suppression. You have to understand that under such fire suppression, the enemy's attack power cannot be fully exerted, and while they attack, they must not be able to defend with all their strength.
, more likely to be injured."
"Yeah!" Hu Tao humbly accepted the suggestion and began to observe Downton. She found that her eldest brother had a sharp eye for catching fighter planes. So far, he had killed the monster sixteen times.
The butler sensed that Downton was the greatest threat and had already attacked him fiercely, hoping to eliminate this enemy first.
"Don't worry about me. When I attract the monster's attention, it means you are safe. Its attention and interference to you are reduced to a minimum. If you don't go all out at this time, what are you waiting for?" Downton turned.
Defense is used to attack, a shield protects the vital points and does not give the housekeeper any chance.
Hu Tao turned behind the butler and looked at the unsuspecting back. He was not polite, he just fired a giant windmill.
Circles of blue light erupted from the tearing dragon tooth belt, which struck the butler on the back, leaving wounds half an inch deep, and some green liquid spilled out.
The housekeeper was hit by the huge force and couldn't stand still, so he staggered forward.
The little loli landed and connected with the giant to kill.
The housekeeper turned around and punched Hu Tao.
Quasimodo stretched out his hand and stood in front of Hu Tao like a shield, blocking the butler's punch, but the little Loli's beheading also failed.
"Don't just focus on attacking, pay attention to your positioning. In this situation where you have the upper hand, you would rather fight for a while longer than get hurt." Downton reminded the little Lolita, "Especially when you are releasing a giant windmill with such high power.
After intense martial arts, your body and magic energy will be exhausted due to the instantaneous consumption, resulting in slow movements. At this time, it is best to give in and ensure a short rest."
"Forget about rubbish like housekeepers. Experienced magicians will choose to fight back at this time, so if you don't pay attention, you will suffer big losses." Homer found that he had no place to use himself. Downton is indeed a battle.
Genius, after the battle with Lone Wolf, his understanding of martial arts became deeper.
"That's it!" Hu Tao was ignorant before and relied on her excellent instincts to fight. She knew when to dodge and attack, but she didn't know why she did it. Now after hearing Downton's explanation, it suddenly dawned on her.
The words of Downton and Homer were like opening a door for Hu Tao, allowing this violent little loli to see a whole new world.
Of course, it is easier said than done. Not to mention various unexpected situations, just being able to maintain a calm attitude in a fight where death can occur at any time requires constant practice.
Downton is born with a big heart and is very resistant to pressure, but when faced with an unbeatable enemy like the Skeleton Dragon, or when his friends are in danger, he will also become nervous, which will affect his judgment.
Not to mention Hu Tao. The younger a child is, the more immature the mind is and the easier it is to be affected by the environment. Although she is higher in rank than Downton, in a real fight, Downton has more than a dozen ways to kill her.
Downton had picked up a big bargain. If the Undead Butler was in its prime, it would never have been possible to win it without a fierce battle, but now it has become a practice battle.
The housekeeper was like a target. He was completely tortured by three people. Then, he was completely torn apart by Hu Tao's chop, without even a single wave rising.
"Hmm, it turns out I can be so powerful!" Hutao, who had snatched the head, put his hands on his waist, raised his chin proudly, and looked down at the enemy's corpse.
"The little princess is invincible!"
Jackson patted the horse and ran quickly to the door of the treasury, "This is the treasure trove of the Duke's Palace. The things stored in it must be priceless." (To be continued...)
