Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 1202 The City of Bones (5)

Ryan and Allendo carefully concealed their whereabouts, carefully observing the city of bones that was close at hand.This fortress of the Undead Legion lives up to its name. It is entirely made up of the bones of various creatures. I don’t know if the grievances of those creatures before they die have not spread, or the surface of the bones is engraved with countless runes. Ryan and the others can feel the powerful dark power emanating from the entire city of bones. Under the influence of such power, if the human army launches a strong attack, they will be able to maintain half of their combat power at most. The Legion of Undead waiting to work is definitely a hard fight.

After getting information from Hubert, the inner line of the blood clan, especially a detailed map of the city of bones, Ryan decided to dive into it boldly and searched for the magic circle throughout the city of bones at close range. This plan was determined by Farras. Against, but Ryan finally convinced his wife, but for safety, he brought a companion when he re-entered the dark sky, and that was Elendor, who had also entered the realm of legend.

The two legendary powerhouses who cooperated closely with each other were naturally not the former Andrew steel golem that was very easy to spot. The two of them concealed their tracks with all their strength from the beginning, until they sneaked into the edge of the city of bones and still no undead creatures found them entering.Ryan carefully checked along the way, and it turned out that there was no magic circle as Hubert said. There were just a large number of skeletons and zombies along the way, as well as a small number of ghost banshees and blood warriors who occasionally patrol. Ordinary legions dispatched to the imperial capital can also be defeated relatively easily. Naturally, they don't know that the two powerful enemies have passed the defense zone they are responsible for.

Although they were mentally prepared, Ryan and Allendo couldn't help but breathe in the air when they first saw the city of bones. All they could see were white bones, especially the walls of the city of bones. It is made of piles of skulls and crossbones, which is particularly gloomy and terrifying. Their empty eye sockets look out of the city. From time to time, there are voices of weeping and wailing echoing in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city of bones. It is obvious that these dead creatures The souls are all imprisoned in their bones by dark magic, so that they will not be able to return to the embrace of the gods and will never be at peace.

If this is the case, it can only be regarded as cruel, but Ryan soon discovered that all the bones here have various magic inscriptions, but they are completely different from the enchanting skills of humans and elves. Fortunately, Ryan once captured one alive before. The gray-robed lich also got a magic circle and several dark rune knights. After some research, he had a little bit of dark magic. After comparing it with the inscription on the wall of bones, Ryan had roughly Recognizing that these are all defensive inscriptions, I think they are used to strengthen defense.

Ryan and Allendo spent a full 2 ​​hours observing their whereabouts outside the city. They found that there were very few undead creatures guarding here, only some elite skeleton warriors, but there were patrols including giant bone golems. The team rushed back and forth from time to time. Ryan understood the truth after only a little thought. After all, with the peripheral defense system and the dark canopy shrouded in the sky, it is impossible for ordinary enemies to sneak into this place silently. The powerhouses, such as Ryan and Elendo, came here, even if they sent out a centurion team of Dark Rune Knights, they couldn't find any clues at all, so there is such a situation of tightness outside and inside.

Although he didn’t care much about these high-level undead creatures, Ryan chose a gap through which the patrol team passed and led Ellendor from the air into the interior of the city of bones. Those undead creatures still standing on the wall of bones did not have any. Any perception.After entering the destination of this trip, Ryan immediately put all his mind on searching for those magic circles, while Ellendor stood by his side loyally, watching everything happening around him vigilantly to protect Ryan Security.

The forces of the undead garrison in the city of bones have been weakened to the lowest point, otherwise Ryan and the others will not be able to carry out any actions in the city, even if they act randomly, they will be exposed. This is because this fortress is fully garrisoned. The city is full of undead creatures. If Ryan and the others are naturally unable to do even the most basic movements, how can they perform the mission smoothly?This is also caused by the special circumstances of undead creatures. After all, they are already dead creatures to some extent. They don’t need supplies and don’t need to care about fighting desire and morale. If there is really no place to dress, then dig a deep in the ground. It's okay to squeeze all the holes in.

The most feared situation in such a dense garrison is forbidden curse attacks. If a full force is garrisoned in the city of bones, once it encounters a forbidden curse that covers a radius of tens of kilometers, the loss will be greater than normal combat, so the city of bones This was taken into account in the early days of its establishment. A large number of defensive magic circles were arranged in the entire fortress, and there was even a curse magic circle carefully arranged by a demi-god lich. Once the fortress suffered the most deadly blow, then The forbidden magic circle in the city will also be triggered at the same time.

This forbidden magic circle covering the entire fortress is divided into two layers. Once the first layer is activated, it will immediately release a dark magic forbidden curse. Since humans do not know how to use this type of energy magic, once this The dark forbidden curse and the foreign forbidden curse attack will touch each other, then it will definitely produce a violent shock wave at the first time, and then the destructive power that is enough to destroy everything will spread out in all directions. After such a huge energy collision, it will use bones Everything within 30 kilometers of the city centered on will be destroyed, unless the power is above the legendary powerhouse, it is almost impossible to survive.

But the most vicious point is not this, but the second magic circle below.When the magic circle placed on them is triggered, the second layer of magic circle will be activated immediately. Its effect is not as violent as the first layer. It can’t even be called an attacking magic circle because it’s the only one. The characteristic is to absorb the soul.After the collision of the forbidden curse that has just produced takes the lives of countless creatures, the magic circle will immediately gather their souls, and then according to the pre-arranged situation, they will begin to spread a plague that can spread hundreds of kilometers.

Since the first wave caused a large number of casualties, it is impossible for humans to truly abandon their injured companions. They will definitely work hard to rescue them. In this chaotic situation, there must be a living body infected with the plague that has not been found, as long as he enters In densely populated cities, the plague lurking in his body will break out, beginning to explode in the form of corpses, using human flesh and blood as a medium to spread wildly.

The plague emitted by this magic circle is very similar to the one spread by the dark rune knights in the imperial new year tragedy, except that they use more souls as sacrifices, so they lie in the human body for a longer time and burst out. The time was even more violent, enough to completely wipe out the living mouth of a small city in just three hours. As for a city like the imperial capital, it would be a heinous tragedy if it broke out among the residents, and its fate would be immeasurable.

In this way, although the city of bones was completely destroyed under the attack of the Forbidden Curse, with the arrangement of the demigod lich himself, the human beings as the attacker would also suffer heavy losses, thus achieving a kind of terror balance.After all, if you take the initiative to release such an attack on a human city, it will definitely be noticed by the humans in advance. Even if the first wave of Forbidden Spells is successful, it will also attract enough attention from the humans, and it is impossible to let the subsequent plague spread successfully, but When humans attack the city of bones, they don’t have to worry about these problems. It is impossible for the human army to go too far in order to attack the city. It must be within the counterattack range of the first wave of Forbidden Curse, and the subsequent troops will be in the second. Enough people were infected with the plague within the range of the wave, and because of the turmoil, people did not have much time and energy to pay attention to these details. When the plague broke out, it was too late.

Fortunately, because of the plan of the Lich Lord Nicholas, the elite forces of the Bone City were almost emptied, and it was Hubert's turn to patrol the surroundings, and this allowed the clone of Ryan, who was originally just to inquire about the news, to be lucky enough to get the information about the bones. The city’s defense map, when Ryan and Allendo used this to successfully sneak into the Bone City, they naturally found enough evidence to prove the hypothesis previously stated in front of Orlando and others.

Seeing Ryan’s face getting worse and worse, Allen passionately knew that his friend had discovered something important. He gently patted Ryan’s back for comfort, and then quickly wrote on his back with his fingers. I wrote a line to inquire about the specific situation.Ryan turned around and smiled bitterly at Ellendor, then stretched out his fingers and wrote a few lines on Ellendor’s palm. This action also changed Ellendor’s face greatly, because Ryan told him that the two of them were standing right now. In the middle of a Forbidden Curse magic circle, it was clear that Ryan's previous guess was confirmed.

Ryan did discover the arrangement of the demigod lich, but unfortunately he was a human, not a god, and he was still a bit worse when facing opponents like the demigod lich. Therefore, Ryan only found the upper layer, but did not The way to completely destroy everything here is to find the magic circle hidden below. Of course, he even dreamed that someone could use a technique similar to Victor’s magic circle stacking technique to stack two forbidden magic circle on top of each other. , The systems between the two magic circles will absolutely not have any relationship with each other. Don’t worry about being traced by others following some clues to expose them, but they are so cleverly designed, as long as the upper layer is triggered, Then the lower layer will be launched as a result, forming a chain of attacks, making people hard to defend.

This is not to blame Ryan, nor does it matter to Hubert within the blood clan. After all, the entire city of bones is arranged by the plane projection of the demigod lich. Except for it, only a few people such as Nicholas know some inside stories. .The power of the demigod lich can defeat the Archbishop Ibel who is possessed by the gods even if it is only a projection of a plane. If it is not for being in another world, there is no way to come to this plane, I am afraid that the entire continent of Eslar would have been It was destroyed. It’s normal for an old guy who didn’t know that he had survived for tens of thousands of years. Ryan’s knowledge of the magic circle was not as good as it is. Ryan was able to infer that the demi-lich was on the bones through some incomplete information. Part of the layout of the city is already a rare and precious thing.

After roughly guessing the layout of the entire Forbidden Curse Magic Array in the City of Bone, Ryan began the transformation work.Because humans are better at elemental magic, and know almost nothing about dark magic, and this forbidden magic circle spreads over the entire fortress, occupying such a huge area, its internal operation can not only rely on cutting off a few connected magic The formation can be completely paralyzed, so Ryan finally chose a relatively safe method, which is to reduce its power after activation as much as possible.

The reason is the same as that of taking a boat. Ryan certainly doesn’t know anything about how to make a fast sailing ship, but he still understands that it has something to do with the wood used to make the ship, the sails on the ship and the steering of the sailor’s rowing captain. Ryan hopes that when the ship arrives at its destination later, he does not need and cannot completely destroy the entire ship, but as long as the rudder is damaged and the sail cable is cut off, it will naturally hinder the ship’s progress. Speed ​​up.

This is what Ryan is busy now. He is also considered to have a very high talent for the magic circle, although he only obtained a complete magic from the gray-robed lich before rescuing Blackrock City to cut off the magic between the two places. The magic circle he contacted, he learned a lot of the secrets of the undead legion, and found some key places in the city of bones. What Ryan needs to do is to increase the internal friction of the entire Forbidden Magic circle as much as possible, such as When internal energy flows, there are mutual collisions and offsets, etc. This inspiration comes from the human world. With the powerful military and magic power of the imperial capital, there is no next step in 200 years. It must be said that it is its own internal struggle for power and profit. There are too many infights such as enjoyment.

It takes at least three months to deploy a magic circle covering such a vast area. This can only be achieved by relying on countless years of accumulation by the Undead Legion, but it does not take so long to make some internal conflicts to increase consumption. Time, Ryan took half a day to complete the project smoothly. Of course, the time used to avoid the undead legion’s ears is also included. If Ryan can concentrate on the work, maybe it will be done in three or five hours. How could it be delayed so long?

After doing everything, Ryan took a long sigh and gestured towards Ellen who was alerting him. The two began to leave slowly. According to Ryan's plan, in the next action, he will personally release one. Forbidden spell magic to trigger the forbidden magic circle in the city of bones. However, due to the fact that Len has moved his hands and feet, this forbidden magic circle will not be able to exert its full power. According to Len’s estimation, it can only reach the previous level. It looks like 70%, although such a powerful force is still a forbidden spell attack, but it can no longer compete with the forbidden spell released by Ryan, so after a fierce energy collision, everything in the city of bones will eventually be destroyed In the raging fire that fell from the sky, the Alliance's Eastern Campaign will also win its first real victory.
