Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

To be honest, judging from Ilufa's figure, she is not that heavy, even with her plump breasts and buttocks. But Linde is only twelve and a half years old after all. No matter how light Ilufa is, she still has the weight of an adult.

Illufa helped Lind to his feet, and then the two had a chance to check their location.

First of all, there was light here. Although it was not very strong, it was enough for the two to see the environment clearly. The light came from the wall, and there was something like a lamp on the wall.

Then, here is also a cave, a cave much larger than the previous one. The walls of the cave are also made of Sylph stone.

"Where is this place?" Ilfa was shocked, his eyes were wide open and his eyeballs seemed to pop out.

"I don't know, but it is certain that this is a huge underground building." Linde said confidently.

As the words fell, more lights came on, illuminating the entire cave. The two saw a huge door.

And a lot of skeletons.

"Scary!" The moment she saw the skeleton, Ilfa jumped up in fright, and Linde subconsciously raised his hand and hugged Princess Ilfa in his arms.

Linde looked at Ilufa expressionlessly. "You are already 29 years old, auntie. Please don't act so childishly."

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Ilfa blushed and got down from Linde's arms.

"Don't be afraid, Auntie. These are just skeletons." Lind comforted her. "There's nothing to be afraid of about skeletons."

"Aren't skeletons scary?" Ilfa stared at Lind in a daze.

"What's so scary about skeletons? They're dead." Lind shrugged. "The living ones are the scariest."

"...That's right." Ilfa didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was an adult, but he still needed a child to comfort him.

After calming down, the two began to explore, starting with the way back.

Following the stairs that rolled down, the two saw a magic circle that was exactly the same as the one outside. If nothing unexpected happened, this was actually a door.

Since it's a door, it's easy. Just find a way to open it.

Then I got stuck here.

"It's still not right." Irufa poured magic power into several different magic runes, but each one only activated partially and then stopped. "How do I activate this magic circle?"

"Don't be anxious, ma'am. Be patient and think slowly. Don't exhaust your magic power." Seeing this, Linde comforted the ma'am and asked her not to be anxious.

Since I was outside, I accidentally activated the magic circle and couldn't figure out where the trigger point was, so I could only try them one by one.

He tried almost a quarter of the time in one go, but all the results were wrong. Ilfa had consumed too much of his magic power, so he needed to stop for a while.

There was no other choice, Linde could only let Ilufa rest for a while, and then he went to check the skeletons here himself.

The gate in the distance was tightly closed. There was a black glass glossy part in the middle of the gate, but it was opaque and one could not see what was inside.

After observing for a while, Lind focused his attention on the skeleton on the ground.

All the skeletons have turned completely into bones, and some have been broken. It is unknown how many years these skeletons have been dead.

The time of death could not be determined. Lind observed it again and his eyes became sharp.

"Is this... a bat's wing?" Lind looked at the bones sharply. "And this skull, is it... a lizard?"

Chapter 119 Lizard Race

Originally they just came here to get some high-quality iron ore and smelt some iron to alleviate the urgent iron shortage in the camp, but they ended up discovering a huge artificial cave in the mountain.

Not only did they discover an artificial cave, there was also a huge magic circle inside the cave. After a series of coincidences, Lind and Ilufa were trapped in another secret room by the activated magic circle and could not get out.

Then, there were corpses scattered all over the floor in the secret room.

Ilufa was still studying the huge magic circle. According to Ilufa, the design concept of this magic circle was completely different from the mainstream magic circle. It was not a complex high-level magic rune, but a pile of low-level magic runes stacked together, and there was no clue at all.

Generally speaking, the idea of ​​magic rune design is to use as few runes as possible to achieve more and stronger magic. Like this one, the magic circle composed of a bunch of low-level magic is completely inconsistent with mainstream thinking.

In Ilfa's words, this was simply a garbage pile of magic runes haphazardly put together by a novice magic apprentice.

This description reminded Lind of a mountain of shit.

However, the magic circle in front of him was obviously not a pile of shit, because it could work and there were no bugs. Ilufa speculated that there was a rune in the magic circle that was the trigger point. Only when that rune was triggered could the entire magic circle work. If the trigger point could not be found, then magic power would be wasted.

Since he couldn't understand the composition principle of the magic circle, Ilfa could only try them one by one, using the exhaustive method, but this took time.

While Ilufa was trying and failing, the bored Linde went to check the corpses.

Then upon inspection, the problem was discovered.

"Is this... a bat's wing?" Lind looked at the bones on the ground uncertainly. "Also, is this... a lizard?"

All the corpses here have turned to bones, and they have been dead for at least a dozen years. There are also no signs of decayed and liquefied tissue on the ground near the bones. In other words, these corpses have been dead for a very long time, so long that the time cannot be determined.

In addition to the bones, there were various weapons and protective gear scattered around the corpse, which must have indicated that a battle had taken place there.

Based on the location and type of the corpses, they can be roughly divided into two parts, attackers and defenders.

Whether it is the attacker or the defender, it can be seen from the bones that none of them are human.

The corpses of the attackers were of various kinds. Judging from the skulls, they seemed to be wild beasts and birds. Some were completely unrecognizable, and seemed to be humans but were obviously different.

As for the defenders, their bones are relatively uniform and they are of the same race. Judging from their skulls, they should be lizard-like creatures.

However, no matter which side it was, judging from the volume of the corpses, their body size was roughly the same as that of a human.

What kind of creatures are these?

"Hu~Hu~" At this moment, Ilfa, who had been trying and failing at the gate, also came over, breathing heavily and looking not very good.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Lin De hurried over and asked with concern.

"The magic power consumption is a bit too much..." Illufa's face turned pale. "Also, I just realized... the magic power here is so thin."

"Ah?" Linde was stunned.

"For some reason, the magic power here is very thin. It seems that something is suppressing the magic power." Illufa smiled bitterly. "I should have discovered it earlier."

"Then..." Linde's face changed, he had a bad feeling.

"My magic power is thin, so it will recover very slowly." Illufa said with a wry smile. "But don't worry, even though it's thin, it's not gone. Just take some time to recover."

Ilufa's words put Linde at ease. It would only take a little longer to recover, but it wasn't a big problem.

Helping Ilufa to sit down on the steps to rest, Linde tried to contact the Mother Goddess of Earth.

(Amora, are you there?)

(I...no...you...) Mother Earth responded quickly, but just like a radio being interfered with, the voice was intermittent and it was impossible to hear what she was saying.

"Hey! What's going on? Why is the signal so bad?" In desperation, Lind shouted out loud.

(Stop...) The Mother Earth seemed to be struggling, and then she returned to complete peace.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Ilfa looked over with a worried look on his face.

"For some unknown reason, my connection with Mother Earth has been blocked." Linde frowned, then unzipped his collar and placed his hand on the holy mark on his chest.

The stigmata were still there, but it was obvious that their power had been greatly weakened. Then Lin pulled open his pants and touched the place where the mark of the evil god was.

The feeling of the evil god's mark has become very faint, but it has not completely disappeared.

"Cough cough~" Ilfa coughed somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh, sorry." Lind realized that his behavior was a bit rude. Putting his hand into his pants in front of a lady.

Ilfa's magic power was consumed quite a lot. In addition, the magic power here was very thin for unknown reasons and needed more time to recover. The Mother Goddess of Earth was also cut off from contact for unknown reasons. For a moment, a fear of the unknown spread in his heart.

In order to control his emotions, Lind took the initiative to ask: "Madam, do you know any way to cut off the connection with God?"

I remember that Mother Earth and Lind said that there is only one way to completely isolate the influence of God, and that is the rejection of the same God. But in this place, although the influence of God has not been completely eliminated, it is indeed weaker than before.

"I don't know." Illufa looked confused. "I've never heard of any way to completely cut off contact with God."

"What about the God of Magic?" Linde asked.

"I haven't communicated with the God of Magic since I got married." Ilfa said with a wry smile.

Well, the reason why this place can block divine thoughts is unknown.

Then, Lind walked to the skeleton on the ground, pointed to one of the lizard-like skulls and asked, "Madam, do you know any humanoid creatures that look like lizards?"

"Lizard?" Illufa pretended to recall. "I seem to have heard that a lizard-like race was found in the new world in the southwest. The colonization team of the Holy Empire once reported it, but I don't know the details because those lizard-like races have no intention of communicating at all."

Lind nodded. In other words, it was unknown whether these were the skeletons of a lizard-like race.

However, after being reminded by Ilufa, Linde also remembered that he had heard similar statements in the overseas news he collected before leaving after being driven out by his aunt.

Lind walked to the side opposite the lizard man and pointed to a two-headed bird-like skeleton.

"Ma'am, do you know what this is?"

"This is...be careful behind you!"

Chapter 120: One vs. Four

When Lind pointed at a skull with two bird heads on the ground and asked Ilfa, Ilfa suddenly shouted.

At the critical moment, Lind quickly squatted down and avoided the sudden attack from behind.

After dodging the attack, Lind immediately took a step forward to distance himself from the enemy, while drawing the dagger from his waist, ready to fight.

Turning around, Lind looked at the person who attacked him, and then he was stunned.

All I saw was a skeleton with tattered armor on its body and a rusty sword in its hand. It stood behind Linde at some point.

"Undead!?" Lind exclaimed upon seeing this.

Since this is a Western fantasy world, the resident undead villains are naturally indispensable. Of course, there are undead in this world, but according to the human method of distinction, they can be roughly divided into two types.

One type is called the Undead, which is the undead in the traditional sense, ranging from skeletons to vampires. They are mainly distributed in the southeast of the Holy Empire and the sea to the west. The vampires in the southeast, in particular, are one of the biggest concerns of the Holy Empire.

The other type is distributed in the desert in the south of the Old World. The Holy Empire doesn't know much about this type of undead, but through second-hand information from the Sultanate of Araby, it can be confirmed that they are not the same as vampires.

As a knight's squire, Lind had fought against skeletons before. These lowest-level undead were not difficult to deal with. As long as one could overcome their inner fear, a slightly stronger peasant with a pitchfork could deal with them.

Therefore, although he was a little surprised that the skeletons here stood up, Lind did not panic and quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Why are there skeletons here?!" Ilfa was equally surprised. "Are there high-level undead here?!"

"Maybe." Lind turned the sword in his hand and walked over with a grin.

Seeing Lind coming over, the skeleton with horns like a cow began to burn with magic fire in the holes where the eyes should be.

"Roar oh oh oh oh oh oh~" The next moment, the skeleton opened its mouth and let out an indescribable shrill howl.

Even though its vocal cords had long since rotted away, the skeleton was still able to shout out such a loud voice. Lind was also frightened by the sound and then shouted back.

"Waaaaagh~" Lind roared and swung his dagger to chop forward.

The skeleton raised the sword in his hand to block, but the long years had greatly reduced the strength of the skeleton's bones. Lind simply chopped off the opponent's sword and collarbone with one sword, and the whole skeleton fell to the ground with a loud bang.

After the opponent fell to the ground, Lind did not give him a chance to breathe, he raised his foot and stepped on the skull. Low-level undead were driven by magic and had no self-awareness. The magic of the skeleton was generally stored in the skull, so smashing the skull was considered to be the real destruction of the opponent.

Lind crushed the skull easily with one foot, and then something like smoke rose from the skull, and then an accident happened. The smoke did not dissipate, but penetrated into another skeleton, which shook a few times and stood up from the ground.

The newly standing skeleton was much larger than the previous one, nearly two meters tall, and the same magical light as before was lit in the holes in its eyes.

Lind swallowed subconsciously. This was definitely not an ordinary skeleton.

"Madam! How could this skeleton be resurrected!" Linde shouted to Ilfa while being on guard.

"This is the first time I've seen this happen." Ilfa also had an expression of disbelief. "After the skull of the skull was broken, the magic power should have dissipated, but this..."

As he was speaking, the skeleton stood up and moved its limbs as if it was getting familiar with its new body.

In the hole where the eyes should be, the magic fire flickered like real eyes.

He is conscious! Lind reacted instantly.

"Roar oh oh oh oh~!" The same shrill roar as before came from a throat without vocal cords, and the huge skeleton rushed towards Lind, waving a war hammer.

"waaaaagh~!" Lind also roared, then turned around and ran away.

The skeleton was obviously stunned for a moment, then it roared and chased after Lind. However, Lind did not simply run away, but destroyed skulls along the way while running.

Although we don't know what the exact situation of this skeleton is, since he can be resurrected, it is definitely not enough to simply deal with him. We must destroy all the skulls that can potentially be resurrected.

In this way, Lind stepped on five or six skulls in a row. Then when he stepped on the seventh one, the skeleton under his feet suddenly shrank, avoiding Lind's war trampling, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Lind's ankle.
