"Big brother?"
Vivian narrowed her eyes and carefully observed the area in front of her. She then signaled Søren to carry her and said in a crisp voice, "Big brother, carry me. I think I saw a small path over there! It's to the left of the garden, near the pile of rocks. I think there's a small path over there, but I don't know where it leads to. "
There's a small path?!
Hearing this, Soran immediately picked up the little girl next to him, and then directly put Vivian on his shoulder. A pair of small feet stepped on Soran's left shoulder, and then a small white hand wrapped around his head. After carefully observing that side for a while, she whispered, "We can go around from the left. There doesn't seem to be any fog there, but we don't know where it leads to!"
The fog in front of them should be part of the [Defense Lock].
Just like how there was fog in the Eight Trigrams Formation, many [Defense Locks] would have corresponding illusions. These illusions could only be seen through by the Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes. Otherwise, it could only be dispelled by spells, special abilities, and Divine Power. It seemed like the power here had weakened a lot. Otherwise, a real [Defense Lock] would create illusions instead of just fog. Even a [Defense Lock] set up by a Lich could create a [Dark Sky Canopy], let alone one set up by an Arcanist!
"Let's go."
Søren didn't hesitate for too long. He immediately said, "Let's go around and take a look."
He didn't dare to enter the [Defense Lock] directly because he was careful, cautious, and worried about Vivian's safety. However, if he didn't even dare to explore the side entrance, then he didn't have the courage to take the risk. Taking a risk was always risky. Søren knew that the risk wouldn't exceed the limit of his strength, not that he didn't dare to take any risks at all. It seemed like the path on the side had been destroyed by time. Even if there was any danger, it wouldn't be more dangerous than going through it directly.
This way, he could also estimate the difficulty of going through it directly.
"Be careful!"
Søren put little Vivian down and began to pay attention to the surroundings. He even tapped the ground with the tip of his foot from time to time. He was detecting if there were any traps nearby. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any, but he still felt that it was necessary to be more careful. The path passed through the corner of the garden. There was a pile of broken stones on the side. There were no strange plants nearby, but there were traces of cracks on the ground.
Sauron looked around and whispered, "Vivian, you're right. Don't you think this road is a bit like the road to the backyard? "
This was Søren's intuition.
Judging from the layout of the surroundings, this was the front yard of the Wizard Tower. Since the path was from the side, it looked like it led to the backyard, or to the kitchen or something like that. Arcanists had a large number of servants, unlike wizards who only needed golems to serve them. During the time of the Arcane Empire, wizards were the ruling class. Other than having a large number of servants, they also had a certain number of followers.
"A little." Vivian nodded gently.
There seemed to be two different worlds in front of him.
On the right was a strange garden surrounded by fog, and on the left was a ruin with many broken stones without fog.
Søren took Vivian through the place carefully. When they walked about 300 meters, a well-preserved house appeared in front of them. This house had a very obvious feature, that was, it had a chimney. Generally speaking, houses with chimneys served the same purpose. Søren felt that he had guessed correctly at the beginning.
"Brother."
Vivian raised her hand and pulled Søren's sleeve, whispering, "It really looks like a kitchen!"
"Yes." Søren nodded gently and said, "Be careful. Let's go in and have a look. "
Creak!
Søren pulled out his curved sword, Icingdeath, and then gave Vivian behind him a look. Then he directly pushed open the door that had not yet decayed, and immediately there was a burst of dust. When Søren walked into the house with the little girl, he immediately found that it was covered with dust, nearly half a centimeter thick. No one knew how long it had been since a living person appeared.
"Brother, look!"
After Vivian entered the house, she glanced around, then pointed to a chair in front of her and whispered, "There seems to be something over there!"
Something!?
Søren moved his feet alertly, then picked up a stone and threw it at the position of the chair. The force deflected it a little, and then they saw a rather short skeleton on the chair. The height of this skeleton was only about 1.25 meters, but the bones were quite thick compared to the height of the body, especially the position of the leg bones and the foot bones were larger. With such a bone shape, if an experienced person were to identify it, they would be able to tell at a glance what kind of creature it used to be.
Søren glanced at it and whispered, "It's the skeleton of a halfling, maybe an arcanist's chef."
Whoosh!
Just as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew through the almost sealed house. The cold wind caused people to shiver involuntarily. Then, a series of sinister and strange laughter sounded.
Undead?
Vengeful Spirit?
Earthbound Spirit?
Søren's mind changed several times in an instant, then he protected Vivian behind him and said in a deep voice, "It's a spirit type enemy! It looks like an earthbound spirit! "
"Be careful."
"It should be watching us from the spirit realm now! Let's wait for it to appear before attacking! "
Undead type enemies.
The more common ones were the skeletal Undead that they encountered in the outside world. This kind of Undead had a body, so it was easier to deal with. The other kind was the one in front of them, which was born from ghosts and evil spirits. It belonged to the category of monsters without a body or a semi-energy form. This kind of Undead was more difficult to deal with, and normal physical attacks did not have much effect on them.
"Kekeke!"
Sad and strange laughter came from all directions. Søren's expression did not change, but Vivian seemed to be a little unhappy. She snorted and said, "I hate you Undead the most! Get the hell out here! "
A faint light of magic appeared.
— — "Protection from Evil."
Vivian first cast a level 1 spell, Protection from Evil, and then continued to cast spells.
— — "Detect Undead!"
An invisible light of magic appeared and covered the whole house in an instant. Then, behind a wall, a shadow in the shape of dark red light appeared. Most of the Undead creatures were dark red under the detection of magic, which meant that they were very evil. If it was a Paladin, they would have to destroy them.
— — "Immobilize Undead!"
Another light of magic appeared. Vivian raised her hand and pointed at the Undead in the distance. Then a faint light appeared, followed by a shrill howl. All of a sudden, the undead behind the wall seemed to have gone berserk, and charged towards Vivian ferociously. The control spell had failed, and the enemy had passed the test of immunity, so Vivian was identified as the first target.
"Shang!"
The curved sword in Soran's hand was instantly unsheathed, and then he slashed at the half-illusory Earthbound Spirit.
— — "Shadowstrike!"
The legendary curved sword Icingdeath had ice damage, which had a special effect on the Undead. Although physical attacks were almost ineffective against it, the Rogue's Shadowstrike was useful. It was a type of shadow energy damage. Søren's curved sword instantly hit the Earthbound Spirit that rushed over. It felt like hitting cotton candy. The blade directly passed through the Earthbound Spirit's body. Only the ice energy and shadow energy hurt the Earthbound Spirit. The physical damage caused by the attack was estimated to be one or two points.
— — "Fear [Instant Cast]!"
As a high-level undead creature, the Earthbound Spirit had a very special ability. It could instantly cast a fear type spell. It could be Intimidation, Fear, or even a spell like the Robe of Fear. However, when the Earthbound Spirit in front of it threw out the Fear spell, it was a little dumbfounded because the two people in front of it seemed to completely ignore the Fear spell. There was no need for them to pass the Test of Fear at all.
Yes.
They directly ignored the Fear spell.
There was no need to mention Vivian. She was the Son of Fear, so how could she not be immune to a mere Fear spell? As for Søren, his resistance to the Fear spell was also quite high. Not to mention his accumulated strong Will, just absorbing the divinity of Fear was enough to make him immune to the Fear spell cast by non-legendary enemies.
— — "Dominate Humans!"
The Earthbound Spirit in front of them seemed to have a certain level of intelligence. After knowing that the Fear spell did not work, it immediately changed its tactics. It cast a talent spell [Dominate Humans], trying to control Søren, who looked like a Warrior, and then use him to kill the little girl who made it feel dangerous. However, it miscalculated again because the [Dominate Humans] it cast did not have any effect at all. It was directly immune to Søren's strong Will.
What a joke!
He had experienced so many storms along the way, how could he be easily controlled by others!
Didn't Søren walk barefoot for thousands of miles in order to be able to deal with the current situation at all times?
As long as his Will was strong enough, he would be immune to most Charm, Mind, and Control spells in the future. This was very important for a Rogue whose immunity was lower than a Warrior's!
A Will as Strong as Steel.
This was the most important factor for Søren's survival!
So when he successfully resisted the [Dominate Humans] cast by the Earthbound Spirit in front of him, a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he once again swung his sword at the enemy in front of him.
— — "Shadowstrike!"
