Although the two wyrms had directly gotten rid of the silver-armored knights, the mages were already exhausted after the Alchemical Undead and the continuous bombardment of the Magical Crystal Cannons. Everyone knew that the deeper they went into the mausoleum, the greater the danger that the team would encounter. Hence, they decided to take this opportunity to rest and recuperate in the square. To everyone's surprise, there were actually days and nights in this underground world. At this moment, it happened to be nighttime.
However, the dispute between Lin Li and Rosen made the atmosphere in the team seem a little more subtle than before. The conflict between the two of them had already been laid out openly. Naturally, at this moment, it was impossible for them to rest and recuperate as if nothing had happened.
On Lin Li's side, Andoine, Aldwin, Macklin, and the mages vaguely formed a faction. On the other hand, Rosen was not alone. There were more than 50 mages in the team who were secretly siding with Rosen, regardless of the gazes of the others.
Seeing such a situation, Aldwin's face became even more sullen, and Macklin even started cursing non-stop. The team of mages was the pillar of the Alanna Guild of Magic, and they usually only obeyed the orders of President Aldwin. However, Aldwin did not expect that more than 50 mages had already been roped in by Rosen.
Of course, in theory, the Guild of Magic belonged to the Supreme Council. Hence, the power of the Guild of Magic was also controlled by the Supreme Council. Based on that alone, Aldwin really couldn't say anything about Rosen. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to refute even if he were to be accused of opposing the Supreme Council. He could only think about how to reorganize the Guild of Magic after leaving this place, lest it ended up being a mere figurehead for some unknown reason.
Andoine also saw the changes in the team, and when he saw Aldwin looking at him, he waved his hand, and said, "Don't look at me, this is his personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with the Supreme Council." However, even the arbitrators couldn't say anything about this matter, let alone Andoine. To a certain extent, Rosen was indeed standing on the side of reason.
Looking at this situation, Lin Li shook his head slightly, and suddenly thought of a saying: loyalty was only because the price of betrayal was too low. Humans had desires. Some wanted more money, some wanted more power, and some would stab their brothers for the sake of a woman. As long as one put in the effort, there was nothing that could not be poached.
Of course, the current situation did not have much to do with Lin Li, and he wouldn't worry about whether the mages of the Tower of Dusk would be poached or not. Lin Li was rather open-minded about the situation. He would let them leave if they wanted, but anyone who harmed the interests of the Tower of Dusk would have to pay the price.
Taking advantage of the night to rest, Lin Lin Li found a slightly empty place next to the camp, and released the Death Knight of Of Of. Although he had vaguely guessed the origin of this Death Knight, the combination of the Death Knight and Divine Power still made him extremely curious. To be honest, Lin Li still found it hard to imagine the Immortal King's idea of creating a miniature world. Besides, even the Immortal King had not succeeded, so it seemed unlikely that Osric could do it.
To be honest, Lin Li found it hard to imagine the idea of creating a miniature world proposed by the Immortal King. Besides, even the Immortal King didn't succeed, so Osric didn't seem to be able to do it. The silver armor that covered its entire body was decorated with elegant patterns. Under the contrast of the Holy Aura, it looked even more noble and beautiful. The light blue soul fire could only be seen through the gap of the armor, which was beating gently like a human heart.
However, Lin Li could tell that the material of the silver armor and the defensive mageweaths on it had nothing to do with the strangeness of the silver-armored knight. Besides, if the silver armor simply had Holy Power, the Undead creature that was enveloped by the silver armor would be no different from being placed in a furnace, and would turn into ashes in an instant.
The Nightmare that the knight was riding on was also emitting a pure Holy aura that was not inferior to the legendary unicorn. In particular, the horn on its head was a silver spiral horn similar to that of a unicorn. It seemed to be condensed from an incomparably pure and holy power. The silver-white flames on its hooves seemed to be Holy Flames that could purify everything.
It was simply the nemesis of the Undead creatures! Lin Li turned around twice, and let out a long sigh. If he hadn't known what kind of body was wrapped under the silver armor, he probably wouldn't have associated the silver-armored knights with the Undead creatures that were hated by the world.
Standing opposite the silver-armored knight, Lin Li closed his eyes slightly, and carefully used his mental strength to probe the soul fire that was hidden behind the armor. Soul fire was the foundation of most Undead creatures. Although the Death of Demons was a different type of Undead creatures, they were still Undead creatures in essence, and still had to rely on the power of soul fire to move.
According to the rules of Anril, the soul fire of Undead creatures was definitely purified by Holy Power. However, Lin Li remembered that Osric had used the Eternal Furnace to create that powerful Ghost. Hence, he wondered if he had made any changes to the soul fire of the silver-armored knight.
However, after carefully sensing it, Lin Li opened his eyes, and felt that the soul fire behind the silver-armored knight's armor seemed to be no different from that of the Death of Demons. The only difference was that it was more powerful. After all, a level-22 silver-armored knight could already be called a Retribution Knight.
Since there was no difference between the soul fire, could the problem be with the skeleton? Lin Li lifted the chest armor of the silver-armored knight, and cut off a piece of bone from the end of the rib. He then placed some experimental equipment on the empty space beside the silver-armored knight, and began to analyze the composition of the bone.
After trying various methods, Lin Li discovered a strange phenomenon. The golden bone was not afraid of being burned by flames at all, and the purification of the Power of Light was not only ineffective, but would also be absorbed by the bone. Clearly, this piece of bone was no longer an ordinary bone, and Osric had added something into it.
Lin Li touched his chin, and put away the experimental equipment on the ground before opening his Magical Domain again. However, this time, he did not use any other power, and only used the Power of Light to create a Light Domain that shrouded the silver-armored knight.
Soon, Lin Li discovered that the power of the silver-armored knight had been greatly improved in the Light Domain, and was even showing signs of breaking through to level-23. That meant that the silver-armored knight did not reject the Power of Light from the outside world, or rather, the Power of Light of Anril. The Divine Power that the silver-armored knight possessed should be in line with the basic Laws of Anril.
It seemed that the main problem was indeed the body of the silver-armored knight, and not the Immortal King's idea of using the microscopic world to re-establish the Laws. Or rather, not entirely. The bodies of ordinary Death Knights were actually not very strong, and their power came from their soul fire, their awakened battle instincts, and the use of Death Power. However, the skeleton of the silver-armored Death Knight had already turned completely golden, and had extremely high physical and magical defense abilities. It could also absorb the Power of Light.
However, in order to truly create such a Death Knight that could use Divine Power, the method was not something that Lin Li could imagine, even if he did not use the microscopic world to re-establish the Laws. That was no longer an answer that could be obtained through research alone. It seemed that he still had to restore the Eternal Furnace in order to find the true production method.
Lin Li put away the silver-armored Death Knight, and returned to the place where the team rested. He briefly explained a few words to the curious Andoine, and then began to meditate while waiting for dawn.
The night passed quickly, and the team was ready to set off at dawn. However, just like the previous night, they had vaguely been divided into two groups. Aldwin could only sigh at all of this. For the sake of the success of the exploration, he had no choice but to bear with it no matter how much resentment he had.
After passing through the square that was in a mess after the battle, the team once again arrived in front of a gate, which was relatively close to the central area of the mausoleum. Standing on the steps in front of the gate, Rosen glanced at everyone. After the conflict yesterday, there was no longer any possibility of reconciliation between Rosen and Lin Li. Hence, when he looked at Lin Li, Rosen no longer concealed his hatred, and his eyes were filled with blatant hatred.
"Next, we are going to really enter the central area of the mausoleum, which is the burial place of Highlord Osric. However, I hope that no one will let their guard down. Don't think that there is no longer any danger here. On the contrary, the danger that may exist here is far beyond everyone's imagination. "Rosen looked at the mages below the steps, and his eyes immediately regained their usual calmness.
The expression on Andoine's face also became much more solemn at this moment. He said in a deep voice, "Back then, there were three most powerful warriors who followed Highlord Osric: Amatir, Angelano, and Eminos. I believe everyone is familiar with these three executioners. According to the information we have researched, the disappearance of these three executioners happened almost at the same time as Osric's death. It is said that they also entered the mausoleum in order to protect Osric, who was buried here. If the legend is true, their current strength is likely to be close to the Sanctuary-realm. "
Upon hearing Andoine's words, the mages below the steps couldn't help but exclaim softly in unison. The three names Amatir, Angelano, and Eminos had also left a deep impression in the history of the Dark Age. As Osric's most loyal warriors, the three High Elves' hands were also stained with the blood of their rulers. They had even massacred all the living beings in a city. Hence, they were nicknamed the Executioner, just like their master. Although the Dark Age had ended more than 1,300 years ago, the names of these three executioners had not faded from people's minds because of the long passage of time.
However, after the shock, the mages were a little excited. If they could kill the notorious executioners of the Dark Age, it would be a glory that they could never obtain in this era. In particular, they had seen with their own eyes the two wyrms that Rosen had summoned the day before. Those were true Sanctuary-level powers, and it should not be a big surprise for them to deal with three High Elves who were close to the Sanctuary-realm.
Lin Li shook his head slightly, and looked at the expressions on the faces of the mages. He naturally knew where their confidence came from, and could only sigh in admiration at the fearlessness of the ignorant. If the two wyrms had been summoned casually, there wouldn't have been a need for the mages to participate in this operation.
Of course, the mages did not really get carried away. After all, they were also elites who had been honed through countless battles. Under Aldwin's orders, the mages united into a tight defensive formation, and walked into the spacious door vigilantly.
What surprised everyone was that although this was already the center of the mausoleum, it was a boundless graveyard as far as the eye could see. There were no palaces, nor were there any treasures. There were only graves. However, the tombs in this cemetery were all in the style of the High Elves, and were extremely luxurious. Without a doubt, only the High Elves were buried in these tombs.
The team walked carefully for a while, but did not encounter any danger. The three legendary executioners were nowhere to be seen. Finally, Rosen looked at the luxurious tombs around him, and suggested to Andoine and Aldwin that they split up to explore.
Andoine knew that Rosen seemed to be discussing with him, but he had already made up his mind long ago. Besides, Rosen's main purpose was to ask Aldwin for help, and not to really listen to his opinion. Hence, he didn't bother to say anything more, and simply reminded Aldwin not to split them up too far, lest an accident happened and they couldn't provide support in time.
Watching Rosen slowly explore the other side with the 50-odd mages, Aldwin smiled bitterly and led the rest of the mages to continue exploring the tombs of the High Elves. Although the tombs of the High Elves were not as large as the hill tombs in the cemeteries outside, there were still plenty of good things in them. Among the funerary items, there were priceless treasures, exquisite works of art, and various magical items.
After searching for most of the day, the team obtained a large number of precious items, but did not encounter any danger. The joy of the harvest had made them completely forget where they were, and all they could see were the tombs that could be considered small treasures. The crowd, who had already been dazzled by the harvest, continued to disperse towards the surroundings of the cemetery, and even Aldwin began to lose his vigilance. Lin Li and Andoine were the only ones who seemed to be unmoved at all. They looked around vigilantly, and did not even reach out to grab anything.
