The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0187 meet

After a while, Li Xun called Elena.

The information obtained from the female thief was more accurate and detailed, and Li Xun knew that what was in Siris was a curse, the most vicious curse-the blood curse.

Since Siris was protected in the tower of the Mage Association, those vicious undead had nowhere to attack, so they had no choice but to attack His Highness Prince Hansen Bramila of Elliat City. The liches managed to obtain the blood from His Royal Highness, and then used the method of blood curse to pollute the entire bloodline of Bramilla.

It is said that Siris and her brother who was far away in Eliot City passed out at the same time. The blood in their bodies is continuously mutating, and it is not fatal at the moment, but there is no guarantee in the future, after all, even her legendary teacher expressed helplessness after seeing it.

At the end of Elena's information, it is very likely that this is a curse personally cast by a certain lich in the Undead Council. The purpose is still to force out the spiritual master behind Siris, otherwise Siris should have died long ago. . This kind of curse transmitted by blood induction is the most vicious and difficult to break.

Li Xun quickly focused on the Lich Lagong, after all, he was the best at cursing among the five liches, but the actual situation still needs to see Siris before he can make a final judgment.

Not daring to waste time, Li Xun left the stone pagoda with You Nu on the same day, and rushed to Pierpont as quickly as possible.

In the afternoon 2 days later, when Li Xun stepped into Pierpont, he found that the entire capital was plunged into deep depression. For the first time, the shadow of the Lich really shrouded this bustling and beautiful city. Once upon a time, the aristocrats were drunk, chasing beauty and luxury, living a peaceful life of ease and pleasure, thinking that with the most difficult thunder fortress on the mainland blocking the only way for liches, the rear would be safe.

But just after the last time the psion made trouble, the lich's black hand reached into Pierpont again. This let the nobles know that facing the strong, their city defense, their knights, and their soldiers are just a ridiculous display. If the army of the undead strikes, they will also be reduced to a dead place like the former Moror Hede Kingdom.

A kind of panic is spreading silently and rapidly in this city.

In the tavern, in the banquet hall of the nobles, in the extravagant private club, there are whispers about the cruelty of the undead everywhere. Last time, a psion who was not yet a legend was able to transmit his voice into the hearts of everyone in the capital. This time, the Lich also focused his attention here. As if overnight, Pierpont has become a social occasion where strong people come and go freely, and they fight each other in the air.

In order to comfort people's hearts, the magic barrier covering the whole city that can only be released during wartime has been opened, and the night sky of Pierpont City is brilliantly rendered by a gorgeous sea blue light.

Li Xun successfully entered the city with his Mage Badge. The interrogation at the gate of the city was countless times stricter than usual, and he even saw the figure of a fully armed Iron Fist Knight.

Li Xun hesitated for a moment, then rushed to the Grand Duke's Mansion with the "female knight" You Nu wearing black knight armor. The defense outside the Grand Duke's Mansion has now been fully taken over by the Iron Fist Knights. The fine armor shone with a chill, the scarlet thick felt cloak, and the clenched iron glove on the chest badge symbolized strength and persistence.

The arrival of the mage caught the attention of the Iron Fist Knight. When Li Xun said what he wanted, the Iron Fist Knight who was in charge of reception immediately frowned. It is a bit beyond his scope of authority to ask to see Princess Emile at this moment of panic.

"Dear Iron Fist Knight, you don't need to be in such a difficult situation. You just need to inform Her Royal Highness of my name, and it's up to her to choose whether to see or not."

"Okay! I've heard of your name too, and my companions have spoken highly of you. I'll report to you right now."

Li Xun didn't wait long when a voice came from inside. The little princess dressed in hunting clothes stepped out quickly, and behind her were still two personal maids who were desperately chasing and whispering something.

"Why did you come here! Sister Siris is suffering, do you know? You..." Emile waved her little hand angrily, with a look of indignation.

"I rushed here as soon as I received the message. Can you help me meet Siris?" Li Xun interrupted the little princess's complaints, and directly made his own request.

"Okay, Sister Siris has been quarantined, and I don't think it's easy to see her. I can only help you as much as I can." Emile hesitated for a moment, then turned and said to the two maids behind him: "You two go back Well, remember to speak strictly, don't be known by your father."

An older maid behind the princess was about to persuade her again, but Emile drove her back involuntarily.

Sitting in the royal carriage, Emile noticed the female knight next to the mage, looked him up and down, and couldn't help but give the mage a sideways glance. This time, Younu changed her somite armor to the standard female knight's close-fitting soft armor, which perfectly fit her figure, making it look uneven, and it also accentuated her pair of long legs.

"Well, this is my follower, You Nu. She is a great fighter." Li Xun had no choice but to give a brief introduction, and try to be as vague as possible.

"Hmph, as long as you are worthy of Siris's sister." Emile snorted dissatisfiedly, and didn't dwell on this matter too much, as the safety of Siris affected all her thoughts.

The Principality's Mage Association was not far away. When Emile led Li Xun and Younu to enter, the knight commander Thaddeus who had dealt with them last time came up from behind on horseback.

"Your Highness, at this very moment, you should not go out casually." The knight commander with a serious expression warned Emile seriously, but stared at the young mage fiercely.

"Uncle Thaddeus, we really have something important to do. Sister Siris is still unconscious inside and urgently needs medical treatment. He can help!"

"he?"

Only then did Knight Commander Thaddeus look at the mage squarely, with a "Don't lie to me!" expression on his face. In his impression, mages with some skills are old people, and most of the mages who come out at a young age are old. It's a mage apprentice.

To put it bluntly, Knight Commander Thaddeus accepted the little princess's compliment with suspicion, but expressed that he would personally protect Her Royal Highness, so the group of three expanded into a group of four.

Several people hurried to the lobby reception to contact Archmage Andaures Di Lasso, and only then were they able to enter the core area of ​​the Mage Association. The Archmage still met them in his residence.

As soon as she sat down in that peculiar living room, Emile eagerly asked to see Siris, but was flatly rejected by the archmage.

"Your Highness Princess Emile, Siris has received a terrible blood curse. We are currently actively looking for a way to help her remove this curse, but unfortunately the effect is not good. It is useless for you to see her at this time. She has learned from it. The moment he cursed, he lost his mind and was already unconscious."

The archmage was obviously in a bad mood, and he was also a little irritable after many days of toil and futility, and he didn't want to be interrupted by outside interference.

Li Xun could only speak by himself: "Your Majesty, I have some expertise in the soul, and maybe I have a way to deal with this curse, so I want to meet Xi Lisi with my own eyes to see how the situation is! I hope you can accommodate me." !"

"This..." Andauris looked at the young Li Xun and hesitated for a while. He was very impressed by this little guy, maybe he could really help!

"Okay, you guys come with me!" The archmage finally made up his mind, raised his hand lightly, and everyone's minds became dizzy for a while, and the scene in front of them was already different.

Under the control of the archmage, they changed three times in a row and passed the cumbersome identity verification. Only then did everyone enter the secret room where Siris is currently located through space switching. When the detection light wave scanned everyone present, the archmage looked at the young female knight in surprise. A shadow creature, who also has a soul contract with a young mage, this kid's methods are amazing! This is a rare top-quality contracted creature.

Li Xun could only smile awkwardly at the archmage, with an attitude of "you understand!", without explaining anything. The archmage grunted, and couldn't help but envy this lucky boy, and then continued to manipulate the magic circle to complete the space jump.

Siris's secret room is now completely isolated from the outside world. This kind of isolation is not a simple prohibition of people from coming and going, but an isolation realized in space. Entry and exit can only be transmitted through fixed-point space. Various protective circles have covered this place tightly to avoid any malicious detection from the outside world.

Here, Li Xun saw Xi Lisi who was sleeping.

On a simple wooden bed, Siris lay motionless on it. She was still wearing the most commonly worn black gold-rimmed mage robe. She had a peaceful face as if she was just taking a nap, but the exposed blood red skin showed her abnormality.

"How's the situation?" Li Xun clenched his fists, and slowly pressed his anger and heartache into the bottom of his heart, and only after he calmed down did he ask about His Excellency the Archmage.

"The situation is very bad. Her bloodline is being manipulated, and the curse is transmitted along the mysterious bloodline induction. The general isolation method does not work. At present, we can only find ways to improve her resistance, but we cannot cut her off. That mysterious connection with the outside world."

"Her red skin?"

"The power of the curse. This kind of curse power is very stubborn, and it changes at any time, frequently switching between various extreme attributes. Siris's royal blood is tormenting her, and the blood will become hot and cold for a while. , and restless for a while, we can only try our best to weaken the influence of this curse power, but we still can't recall Siris's intelligence, it seems that this curse power also has the effect of soul-stirring."

"Her teacher?"

"I've seen it all, and used a lot of methods. I have basically stabilized Siris's body from being affected by too much curse power. But this is after all under the premise that the other party no longer casts spells. Once The other party uses special means to drive the power of the curse, and the situation will only worsen."
