Chapter 41 The seemingly simple task of the nightmare
"Does all magicians have to go through this kind of closed study until they become a high-level magician before they can be free?" Yue Chuo asked doubtfully and cautiously.
"Of course not." Christine sneered, "Only those like us who are considered to have special talents and are so-called valued by the palace can have such an honor."
She took a swig of beer from the flask and took a deep breath to calm down her turbulent mood. Christine shook her head, shook off the oppressive haze, and continued to talk about her past.
"Not long after I became a first-level black magician, I was approached by a seemingly simple but important task." She frowned slightly and fell into memories, "Several archaeological scholars discovered a large-scale existence in an underground palace.
The possibility of ancient magic relics. I received an order to lead a team to eliminate potential dangers in the tomb and assist the scholars in completing the archaeological work. If the scholars make any major discoveries about ancient magic this time, even if it is only hidden, I will be promoted to a superior
All the conditions for a magician can be considered fulfilled."
Yue Chuo was deeply attracted by the story she described. It was hard to imagine that this beautiful chef had ever had such an experience. In his mind, he couldn't help but imagine Christine wearing a gorgeous magic robe tailored to fit her body and holding a long staff.
The scene of calmly commanding the team to set off towards the underground palace.
"There were no obstacles along the way and we reached the area where the mausoleum is located. The soldiers camped outside the mausoleum told me that a small number of corpses were found near the entrance of the tomb passage. They have..."
"Hey! Hey! Ghoul?" Yue Chuo interrupted in surprise, "You don't mean a corpse that can move, do you? Just like a zombie."
"Zombie? What is that?"
"It's like..., it's like the corpse comes back to life after death." Yue Chuo tried to describe the zombies he had seen in the movie in as simple and understandable terms as possible, "But it's not really resurrected. The corpse can move.
But they have no soul, and their movements are stiff. They will still rot, but they will also be hungry. They will eat all living things, including humans. And creatures bitten and scratched by zombies will also turn into zombies."
"It's not like that at all." Christine shook her head and said, "Ghouls were originally guards buried in the tomb, and were cast with undead magic. When they died in the tomb, their souls were still bound to their bodies. They
They have no will, and their only purpose of existence is to eliminate all intruders who try to enter the tomb. Moreover, they will not become stiff and will maintain their fighting ability in life. They will not bite people. Although they have become ghouls, they are still alive as ghosts.
The dignity of a warrior does not allow them to behave like this. Even if they are scratched by them, it is just an ordinary injury."
"That's right." Yue Chuo showed an awkward smile, "It's like a zombie. The world would have ended long ago, haha."
"In short, after we entered the mausoleum, we did only encounter ghoul guards along the way. Although there were a lot of them, because there were several black magicians and two light warlocks in the team, it was not difficult to solve them."
At this point, Christine stopped. The sun was completely submerged under the horizon, leaving only a residual red color that projected weakly. The two moons almost completely overlapped and loomed in the sky, struggling to compete with the sun.
With the faint light, Yue Chuo saw the deeper pain on Christine's face. He wanted to say something to stop her, or to comfort her, but she couldn't utter a word. She could only wait silently, waiting for Christine.
Steen released the nightmare hidden in her heart. Because only in this way could she release herself.
"After walking for about five miles in the tomb passage, we came to a spacious hall." After a long time, Christine finally said again, "At the end of the hall, there are two huge stone doors.
It was engraved with strange symbols and magic circles. It took three months for scholars to decipher the meaning of the symbols on the door, activate the magic circle, and open the stone door. But the moment the stone door opened, it was also the nightmare of my life.
When it comes, extremely evil creatures are sealed behind the stone gate. Hundreds of evil creatures are pouring towards the stone gate like a tide..."
