The problem of Maldraxxus has not yet been resolved, and Sharlayan has no skills at all. In order to ensure that he can obtain the five major runes to open the throne of the war master, he does not dare to divide his troops rashly.
Marquis Gamar of the Academy of Creation is a man with no pretensions (high emotional intelligence). If he catches the Sarlayan team secretly stirring up the situation, he would not mind eradicating them personally.
With this in mind, Onyxia, the team's strongest fighter, must act with Sharlayan.
The problem of promoting the fortress mainly arises from the internal affairs level, and the root problem is more complicated.
Although Valeera and Stellagosa also have some experience in handling government affairs, most of them were compiled by the grassroots officials below and given to them for signature.
As for how strong their governing ability is... Salayan never dared to think so.
Moreover, Sarlayan had heard Yueberry say before that when it came to official matters, Gristia was a stubborn donkey who couldn't turn around. It was almost impossible to convince her with words alone.
Valeela's diplomatic skills are mainly reflected in her words, and a stubborn donkey like Gristia is the perfect match for her.
In order to solve the many hidden problems in the Ascension Bastion, Sarlayan was afraid that he would have to take action personally, and he would also need to bring Onyxia with him as a battle insurance to prevent the angry Holy Gristia from going out to "test" he.
So the question is, can Sharlayan and Onyxia be split in half and used?
The answer is obvious, no.
The Winter Queen is too busy wiping out her Ardenweald to take care of herself.
Denathrius happily sat in Naslia Castle watching the show, and the soldier's master had long since disappeared.
What? Arbitrator?
Do you expect an intelligent AI that can only handle official business mechanically to help handle complex government affairs crises? Just talk nonsense.
Among the five major kingdoms of the Shadow Realm, no one can provide help to Gristia at this juncture. Sharlayan can only pray that the turmoil in Ascension Bastion will not be too exaggerated, at least until he can straighten out Maldraxxus. Let’s talk about the mess.
[Is Xiao Sa really a tool for solving all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases? 】
[There is no way, there are too many pig teammates, so I can only rely on Shaman to carry and lead them. 】
[In fact, the main problem is still the lack of combat power. If Sharlayan, Valeera, and Stellagosa can all break through and become demigods, they can completely divide their forces into two groups, leaving Valeera and Little Star behind. Maldra, Sharlayan, and Onyxia rush to Bastion of Ascension. 】
[Indeed, the situation in Maldraxxus has been basically straightened out, and it is nothing more than getting the five major runes. 】
[As long as Denathius doesn't do anything crazy, all you need to do is follow the plan. 】
[The premise is that you have enough mobile combat power to deal with emergencies, such as Gamar's sudden face interception... Onini, who works overtime intensively, feels tired. 】
After seeing the comment on the barrage, Sarlayan glanced at Onyxia subconsciously.
The Black Dragon Princess, who is used to being lazy, is indeed a little impatient, but with Sarlayan by her side, she won't give up directly.
The lichs, representing the two barons respectively, fought passionately in the cave chamber for several minutes. It was not until the curse words were repeated many times that the two finally calmed down.
"Huh~ I'm too lazy to argue with you, a single-cell donkey. In short, unless Denathrius takes actual action, Baron Delama will not change his original position."
"I've finished what I said, you can take care of yourself... Now, turn around and leave Baron Delama's secret laboratory immediately."
The radical lich spat angrily: "Bah! You cowards who can't see the situation clearly! Just wait, you will regret it sooner or later!"
Valeera, who was hiding in the dark, squinted her eyes to cover up the cold light, and used the squirrel familiar not far away as a relay to use the soul link to ask Sarlayan outside the cave about the next move.
"Do you want to kill him?"
Sarlayan: "There is no need to alert the enemy. Leave this guy to us. You can continue to perform the scheduled mission and wait for subsequent orders."
"learn."
Valeela walked around the secret laboratory along the mountain wall, but did not find the second entrance or exit.
However, Valeela noticed something. In the main laboratory where representatives of the two factions had exchanged blows before, there was a magical device that was suspected to be a solidification teleportation device.
If the transmission device cannot be banned first, the lichs in the laboratory can quickly retreat to the Ritual Chamber after being attacked and block the transmission interface from the other end.
On this side, Onyxia relied on a sneak attack to knock out the radical lich with one claw. Unfortunately, she could not find anything valuable from him, only an encrypted magic backpack.
For an encrypted space package like this, brute force cracking will inevitably destroy the subspace inside it, making it impossible to get what you want.
Sarlayan looked at the fainted Lich and touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Oni, are you sure you can use shadow magic to control his mind?"
"Um……"
Onyxia knelt down and checked the strength of the lich's soul: "It should be fine, but I need some time to prepare."
Onyxia pulled out the Blade of the Dark Empire from her waist: "Help me hold him down. Forcibly controlling his soul will inevitably trigger strong resistance from him. He must not be allowed to interrupt my spell."
The Blade of the Dark Empire is not a weapon to Onyxia, but a top-level magic tool used to increase spellcasting.
With Azadas's power of earth sealed, Xal'atath can't affect Onyxia's mind at all.
Occasionally, Onyxia would even infiltrate the seal and actively provoke it, which made Xal'atath go crazy, but he could only be helpless and furious.
"Ugh! Ahhhhh!"
In the soundproof barrier constructed by Stellagosa, the Lich, who had been stabbed into the eye socket by the Blade of the Dark Empire, suddenly woke up and let out a shrill wail that was heartbreaking.
At the same time, his skeleton body instinctively began to struggle desperately... However, it was of no use.
Sarlayan and Stella Gossa held down the Lich's upper and lower bodies respectively with two humanoid dragons. The power of the dragons made it impossible for him to move even half a step.
The blue soul fire in the Lich's eyes extends upward along the curved blade of the Dark Empire Blade. Onyxia, holding the hilt of the knife, inhales this soul fire into her body, transforms it with her will, and then sends it back. Enter the Lich's body.
With the amplification of the Blade of the Dark Empire, the strength of the Lich's struggle gradually weakened visibly to the naked eye.
After about a minute, his screams stopped and he collapsed on the ground without any movement.
Onyxia drew the Blade of the Dark Empire and gave him orders in the language of shadow magic.
"Get up and unlock the space package."
"yes……"
…
In the cave at the other end, Valeela thoroughly understood the situation of this secret laboratory.
There are a total of 23 people in the entire laboratory. The great lich Killian under Baron Delama is in charge of the main laboratory, and other necromancers and psychics are assigned their respective tasks.
Archlich Killian is Baron Drama's most trusted subordinate and her lifelong partner.
When Baron Delama is unable to escape, he can represent the Baron's will to a certain extent.
Creatures like lichs are essentially mages transformed into undead.
In addition to the death spells that are necessary to maintain their own existence, most lichs also learn other spells.
Liches do not have a lifespan limit like mortals. Theoretically, as long as their talent is high enough and they have the determination to persevere, they can slowly spend time until they are proficient in all types of spells.
Sarlayan had a very clear understanding of the daily life of mages a long time ago. They were either seeking death or on the road to death.
To put it in a nicer way, their joy in life is to explore the truth of the universe through endless research.
It's just that in the process of exploration, most mages (lich) will play themselves to death without restraint.
It is not surprising that Baron Delama established a secret laboratory outside the Ritual Chamber. The research here must be taboo experiments that are not convenient to carry out in densely populated areas.
In other words, it is another experimental project on the road to death.
Having known Stellagosa for many years, Valeela and Little Star, two plastic best friends, have had some influence on each other.
Stellagosa learned a lot of tricks and tricks, and Valeela also learned a lot of magic knowledge.
Although she was still not 100% sure, after briefly checking the entire experimental project, Valeera was shocked to come to an uncertain conclusion.
These ignorant lichs seem to be studying forbidden time spells.
