"Wait." Winnie quickly put down a rope and pulled him up.
Nesai climbed up along the cracked tower body, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.
After entering, as expected, the ground was covered with blood. Archmage Wilenz had broken bones all over his body, and there were two footprints on his back. His headless body was buried in a bucket of sizzling smoke maggots, and there was a strong stench in the house.
Winnie quickly wiped a knife. Wilentz's head was already hanging on her waist.
"Hey." She said like a host, "What are you doing here?"
Nesse silently walked around Wilenz, approached the door of the room and listened.
The door has a magic lock that cannot be opened from the outside. It was quiet outside, either because there were no servants nearby, or because Archmage Wilenz died silently.
Turning around and looking around, he saw a series of dirty wooden barrels placed along the wall in the room, and Wilenz was deep in one of them.
On the other side are wax-sealed bottles and jars two or three people high, stacked up to the ceiling. Inside are sealed some residual limbs, larvae, skeletons, or a combination of residual limbs, larvae and skeletons.
There is a very thick small door on the other side of the room inside, with a physical lock on the door - this should be the direct cause of Wilentz's death. Inside is a stone chamber covered with black spells.
"Becoming an Immortal in One Step"
There is a row of candlesticks embedded in the wall of the stone chamber, and the green flames move without any wind, illuminating a large gray and black stone coffin with its lid open in the depths. The sarcophagus was large enough for two people to lie flat on it, with a bloated corpse leaning on one side, motionless. The other side is empty. There are drag marks on the ground.
This is the secret room that the old manservant was talking about.
It seems that Wilenz is a mage who has extensive research on necromancy.
Nese took a quick look and then stepped back. The incantations were quite cruel and dirty, and the sight he saw gave him uncontrollable bad associations. Out of habit, he couldn't help but avoid it.
Winnie had already cleaned the knife and was adjusting the leather gauntlet.
"I really don't understand how you found me," he said.
"Don't get me wrong, this time it was just a coincidence."
The half-elf smiled. "This is my new job this time. People have to work when they are alive, including the villain Winnie."
Is it really such a coincidence?
The next job she took on was murder, and that was the murder of the owner of the tower in front of him. Nese thought.
Winnie's expression couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
"You can kill an archmage," he said. There are no weak mages in the Blood Swamp.
"The Archmage is just a bleating lamb." Wei Ni chuckled, and used two fingers to prick the two lips of Wilenz's head on her waist - Wilenz's mouth was full of blood, and his tongue was not even there. Fly with wings. "That way it won't bleat."
Winnie is indeed magical and terrifying.
Nese stopped talking and started searching the room. He needed to put on normal clothes and blend in with Semolan Academy.
Here are three pieces of clothing. It's just that they are different in Winnie, Wilenz, and the Inferi in the secret room.
Nese unlocked the magic seal on the outward door, opened a slit, and looked out.
"What are you going to do?"
Winnie was arranging tools behind his back.
The corridor was dimly lit and empty. Nesai felt the energy fluctuations and knew that this seemingly empty corridor actually contained many mechanisms. But this goes to show that no one will disturb you on this floor.
He spent some time casting spells to destroy the key points, and then put a simple death-proof protective shell on himself, and looked along the corridor.
The room diagonally opposite was hidden.
Pushing the door open, it's warm, smelly, and dark.
Forgetting that there was no dark vision from the devil, Nesse considered whether to get a candle for lighting.
A sudden light came from behind, instantly arousing a terrifying and chaotic howl, reflecting the scene inside the room - the four walls of the room were deeply sunken, embedded with cages enclosed by fine steel, and the monsters inside hit the bars with "bang bang".
"I almost forgot. There's good stuff."
Winnie came holding a lamp, and the light spread, illuminating a fish-necked monster with a mouth full of yellow saliva. The cannibal next to him is eating his own feet.
Nesai turned a blind eye and silently glanced around.
There are only monsters in the room. There are several wooden barrels similar to those in the room placed against the wall. There is still less than half of the crystal red maggot feed inside.
Clearly in the wrong place.
He turned around and walked away. Winnie followed and stood side by side. She yelled and put a small object in his hand.
The thing was quite heavy to hold. It was a small human-shaped iron sculpture with a rotatable neck and a head screwed to the back.
"The wall of life and death. Where did it come from?"
Nese frowned. This is a switch that controls dead objects, but... it's not that easy to use. It turned out to be the good product Winnie mentioned.
"Touched by the dead old man. Here you go."
"I do not want."
"No money. This is to honor you." Wei Ni smiled. "What? Don't you look down on me?"
Nesai stopped, feeling a little angry for no reason. "Why?"
"Didn't I say that you need a subordinate like me?"
"I mean, why do you want to be my subordinate?" He stared at the half-elf.
"Because I think you are a good boss. I am planning to change my boss." Winnie said lightly.
"why me?"
"Because you are strong. My old boss was too weak. He was not as good as me."
"You can go it alone."
Nese turned her head and strode forward.
"It's too troublesome. Being a deputy is the most leisurely. Whatever the boss says, I'll do it and get paid. I don't have to worry about anything else. I'm very busy." Wei Nishi followed up quickly.
With luck, they turned halfway up the stairs and saw a hall where humanoid victims were stored.
The hall was lined with waist-high wooden tables, stained with blood, and many of them had disemboweled corpses displayed on them.
"The boss will let you risk your life and take the big lead yourself." Nese found that his nose was basically out of order.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm in danger."
Winnie waved her hand to shoo away the nearby flies. “If it’s like you said, the boss will have to consider the danger to his own life.
This matter is not as complicated as you think, the key is: find a good boss. "
Nesse walked towards the torture rack in the corner, on which were placed several pieces of clothing stripped off the dead bodies.
He looked through the clothes and found the perfect target inside - there was a robe that was the uniform of Semolan Academy. He pulled it out and looked at it. Even though it was covered in blood, it was as good as new compared to what he had on him.
He just missed the magic spell, and Winnie immediately understood.
The half-elf grabbed the robe, took out a copper watering can, sprayed it up and down, and shook it gently, and the blood stains disappeared immediately.
"I am a capable subordinate. I deserve the best boss." She threw the robe to Nese.
Nese tore the rags on her body to pieces with one hand, and put on the "new clothes" with the other hand, not dodging or dodging. Winnie looked him up and down with burning eyes.
"I'm not a good boss for you, Winnie."
Nesse turned around and looked at the broken corpses. "None of the things you said were done by me."
"Oh. I know. I just said that what everyone said." The half-elf smiled and waved his hands, "Are you going to suddenly run away again?"
