Headshot Wizard - Chapter 537

Chapter 537 Skeleton Cave (sixth!)

In the black hat cabin, he told some information he knew.

In his narrative, he was just a poor apprentice under the evil wizard Verne—and every year, Verne would plunder some higher apprentices from the slave market or some wizard gathering places on the mainland as his own experiment. Before him, Verne’s longest-lived apprentice had only lived for five months.

From this perspective, the black hat that was caught in the Sea Duotou Valley as an experimental assistant three months ago is indeed lucky enough.

Because at that time, the life of the evil wizard Verne had almost come to an end.

No one knows how old he is, but according to Black Hat’s speculation, Verne’s age is definitely more than three hundred years old-he has been controlling his sea castle drifting on the sea, and at the same time prolonging himself through various evil witchcraft. Life. But no matter how magical witchcraft is, once it has not stepped into the legend, it is difficult for a wizard’s lifespan to break through the limits of human beings-unless the blood of some long-lived races is merged, it is also full of danger.

All kinds of rejection reactions will come before their lifespan is naturally exhausted, so except for wizards who have reached their limit, few people take the risk of using extreme methods to extend their lifespan.

But in the eyes of the black hat, Verne clearly does not belong to the majority of people.

He has a crazy enthusiasm for immortality, so he studies blood spells, necromancy and the secrets of longevity of alien creatures. Not only did he experiment with his subordinates, he himself was his biggest experiment.

But these experiments did not save his life span, but had a counterproductive effect. In the last experiment, he ran into big trouble and his body began to age rapidly.

When Verne realized this, he began to make a mortal fight. He was going to sacrifice all the apprentices on the island in exchange for his own survival through a dangerous ritual-and he failed, so he died.

Before that, the clever black hat saw something was wrong, so he concealed the past with the fake death potion that he secretly obtained. Finally escaped through the ditch connecting the strait in the laboratory, and then crossed the ocean holding a wooden barrel, with the help of a little bit of witchcraft, finally escaped.

…

“Wait!” Bejieka interrupted suddenly: “Since you escaped from suspended animation, how do you know that Verne is dead?”

“If he didn’t die, I would be dead.” Black Hat said with a wry smile: “He has imprinted an indelible mark on us people. I just dared to run away because I knew he would not escape the final disaster. It has been several months now, and the mark on my body has completely disappeared, and I dare to conclude that he has not survived it.”

“So, are you thinking about it now?” Bejieka was suspicious.

Although she believed that the power of greed was enough to make the somewhat poor boy in front of her courageous, all this changed too quickly.

“Why not?” The black hat was still a little nervous, but his eyes seemed calm: “Verne is dead. The dead can’t harm people, can they?”

Lance looked at him and said lightly: “Not necessarily.”

“Mr. Lance, what do you mean?” The black hat panicked.

Lance shook his head and said nothing.

There was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

He instinctively felt that something was wrong with the young man in front of him. He might not be completely lying, but he must have missed something—or concealed something.

So just now, he secretly used death gaze on the black hat, trying to read some information from his soul fog.

But the result was very clean, the soul fog of the black hat had no problems, and it was completely in line with the level that an advanced apprentice should have.

Not high or low.

This is a little strange.

The other two motioned to the black hat to continue the narrative.

The latter nodded and continued: “Three adults, I know that with my own ability, it is impossible to break the various spell restrictions left by Verne, so I need some powerful helpers. You obviously have such power, and I can also provide something that you lack. In those days in Broken Head, I have figured out everything there, and I know the terrain, buildings, and traps. We can definitely get Verne’s legacy through cooperation. The treasures that were dropped. Of course, this includes the Aiken whale oil that you badly need.”

“You can guarantee this?” Bejeka glared at him viciously.

The latter suddenly shrank his head, then gathered up the courage and nodded.

“I believe him.” Jamiri said first: “He didn’t dare to lie to our three second-level wizards. He knows what to do.”

“Maybe we can try.” Bejeka said in a deep thought, “You are right, the Leonard League will be unreliable, we have to find a way out by ourselves.”

Lance glanced at the black hat. He didn’t know what happened. He always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

But in the end he was moved by the possible Aiken Whale Oil and nodded gently.

“Well, without further ado, we will set off right away!”

The black hat rubbed his hands with excitement: “The Drifting Valley on the sea will continue to drift. If you go late, it will be troublesome if you can’t find it.”

…

“Lance was not found in the entire Sun Island!”

On the Madam Windsor, Russell listened to Greg’s report with a sharp expression.

“Also, Bejeka, who had been walking very close to him, also disappeared.” Greg asked cautiously, “Did something happen?”

“Very important!”

Russell patted the table board: “Even if the Sun Island is turned upside down, we have to get Lance out!”

Greg looked sad: “But ours hasn’t found any clues yet. Could you please trouble the Lord Prophet?”

“If you find someone, you have to take the prophet? Where is the prestige of our Leonard League?” Russell scolded, “Send out everyone who can be sent out, and look for Lance at all costs!”

“I see!”

Greg’s face shrank, he had never seen his president so anxious, which made him realize the importance of the situation.

At this moment, a magic carpet flew over the dock: “My lord, we have found a clue to Lance!”

“What?” Greg smiled and immediately shouted, “Report now!”

“Yes!”

It was a wizard inside the League. He dropped the magic carpet respectfully and said: “Our people found a clue on the small dock in the east of Westport Wharf. Someone saw Lance and Bejeka and the white goblin together. Boarding a small boat, they headed west.”

“It turns out that I left Sun Island, no wonder I can’t find it!”

Greg and Russell looked at each other. The former didn’t need the latter to order, and they immediately ordered: “Everyone is going to sea, you must find Lance for me!”

“Those who find Lance will receive a reward of 20,000 magic stones!”

…

As the sun sets, the sea at dusk is completely dark.

The cold wind blew the waves, and the boat swayed, but steadily sailed towards the dark shadow in the distance.

“Here we are!”

The black hat stood on the bow, looking at the hideous shadow in the distance with some excitement.

The other three were silent, while Mia looked at the gorge on the sea with curious eyes.

This fortress on the sea is actually an outstanding demonized item. Of course, this is not Verne’s handwriting, but a high-end item he found in the tomb of a legendary wizard.

Blowing by the icy evening wind, the boat gradually approached the guillotine valley on the sea.

At this time, Lance could clearly see the bacon-like human corpse hanging on the front of the canyon. Most of the corpses were already rotten and smelly, but the strange thing was that even so, the birds that wandered around did not dare to approach this evil land.

“It’s a ghost place.” Bejieka muttered, “Shall we go in from the front?”

“No. The front is too dangerous, there are traps everywhere.” The black hat pointed to the other side and said, “We crossed there. It was a path opened by Verne. He usually uses this path to transport new apprentices and other necessities. . This road is relatively safer.”

Under the command of the black hat, the boat gradually bypassed the sea fortress and came to the side.

Because it was getting late, they had to get close to find the entrance to the path on the icy cliff.

“It’s here!” The black hat yelled.

“Let’s go in.” Bejeka said, suddenly raising a question: “Why don’t we use a magic carpet, we have to use the primitive method of rowing?”

“Because this is the safest.” Black Hat explained: “Reduce the use of magic as much as possible. Because many of Verne’s traps are designed for magic induction. Once magic appears in a certain area, the sea will be broken. The defense measures will be activated automatically, and then it will be troublesome. Before reaching the destination, we still try to use mortal methods.”

In the explanation of the black hat, the boat sailed leisurely into the narrow hole.

The space inside the cave was even more pitch black, and Lance could not help taking out two lanterns made of white crystal and hung them on the bow.

In the next second, a bright white light suddenly illuminated the entire cave.

I saw skeletons hanging up and down beside the narrow waterway!

This scene was very similar to the scene he saw in the swing path, except that the skeletons did not merge into the mountain wall.

“Damn it!” Lance cursed in a low voice, “What the hell is this?”

“Skull Cavern.” The black hat’s voice was a little erratic: “Verne loves this place very much. He is here to test his necromantic witchcraft.”

“If you see it, there is his laboratory, but we won’t pass through that place-the three are not necromancers? The things in the laboratory are of no use to us.”

“Along this waterway, you will reach your destination soon. Don’t worry, everyone.”

As soon as his voice fell, there was a sudden click among the piles of skulls on the bank.
