Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Klecker was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "What does this have to do with opening the coffin?"

Yulia, Bones, and Duron were momentarily stunned when they saw Li Wei's seemingly familiar starting stance, but then they chuckled to themselves.

The scam has begun!

“Everything has a true name. The Death Flower in my hand is its scientific name. Its true name is ‘Ailun,’ which is a dialect from the northeastern part of the Golden Kingdom.”

"The book 【Records of Baron Della's Territory】 states that the Baron was born in the northeastern part of the Golden Kingdom, which is the only mountainous region that does not border the sea. His name means 'impulsive'."

Klecker didn't understand, and he repeated suspiciously, "What does this have to do with deconstructing the coffin?"

“Of course!” Li Wei then introduced another necromancer called “Bilon,” which means “lewd.”

He did not deceive Clayker by using the method of causing the Death Flower to wither and then revive.

From the moment he stepped underground, Klek maintained his "watchful eye," and nothing at such close range could escape his notice.

Li Wei frankly stated, "Mystical language and true names are closely related."

"Deconstructing the language of magic is essentially the process of finding the true name of the Necromancer Flower. By finding the true name corresponding to the magic characters in each context, environment, and arrangement of the language of magic, the deconstruction can be completed."

Li Wei naturally handed the two Death Flowers to Klecker.

Clayk, caught off guard, accepted the Necromancer Flower that Levi had planted with the "Skeleton Undead" transformation ritual, staring at the two Necromancer Flowers in confusion:

"I still don't understand what these two broken flowers have to do with deconstructing the coffin?"

Li Wei made a "shh" gesture and pointed to the coffin, saying:

"Look there."

Rumbling--

The lid of the pitch-black coffin was slowly lifted.

The mirror at the top reflects what's inside.

A smaller version of the same coffin, a pile of gold and silver coins scattered in the gaps between the coffin and the outer coffin, a magic stone map animal skin scroll, and five pieces of equipment that are not enough to form a complete set.

There is also a decorative rapier used in aristocratic ceremonies, with two emeralds the size of a baby's fist inlaid on both sides of the hilt.

……

……

Chapter 30: Expressing My Feelings Frankly [4300-word long chapter]

The moment the coffin was opened.

The mirror-like paint on the walls began to peel off.

Li Wei had already made preparations.

The moment the coffin was opened, ten sorcerer hands descended inside.

He retrieved a brightly lit magical stone map, twenty-six scattered gold coins, five pieces of equipment—leg guards, wrist guards, breastplate, arm guards, and neck armor—as well as a noble ceremonial rapier inlaid with green gemstones.

The remaining dozens of silver coins were scattered throughout the coffin, and there was simply no time to retrieve them.

Klecker reacted just as quickly.

He also conjured ten mage hands that flew into the coffin.

But instead of fighting with Li Wei for something, they worked together with a clear objective to grab the lid of the smaller coffin and forcefully open it.

The thick necromantic elements inside the coffin coalesced into droplets, like a light drizzle, the rain curtain obscuring the prying eyes.

The reflection in the coffin was hazy and indistinct, but a human figure could be vaguely discerned.

Klecker had a trick up his sleeve.

The book "My Life" by Bill, a level 3 high priest priced at 25 gold coins, does not describe how he achieved his priestly talent leap through the coffin in the secret chamber.

However, the book "My Life: Tell the Truth," also written by Bill, which costs 50 gold coins, clearly records that he opened the coffin lid inside the coffin, thus achieving a leap in his priestly talent.

In his book, "My Life: Let Me Tell You the Truth," Bill Gates explicitly warns those who come after him not to be greedy, to simply open the coffin lid and not to explore further.

Bill is a Level 3 Grand Priest, a rank that countless pastors strive to reach their level in their entire lives but can only dream of.

But for Klecker...

That's not enough.

His goal is not a level 3 Grand Priest.

Bill's life achievements could not satisfy his ambition.

Klecker envisions himself above the level 3 Grand Priest, and above the legendary "Legend".

His ten mage hands, like scooping up shellfish from the bottom of a murky river, reached in and groped around.

Klecker attempted to use his "peeping eye" to find out what was at the bottom of the misty coffin.

But the dense necromantic element is enough to block any form of spying.

……

The area includes a castle district, residential housing district, and farmland district.

From the moment Klecker lifted the coffin lid.

It shook incessantly, as if it had been struck by an earthquake of magnitude 8 or 9.

The ground cracked open, revealing deep, eerie rift valleys that echoed with howls.

Numerous undead creatures of various sizes crawled out of the valley and from the piles of ashes underground...

Baron Della's castle was crumbling, and no one knew what had happened.

Of the remaining six powerful warriors from the castle district, one of them awoke with a start:

"It must have been that bastard Klecker who caused this commotion! I saw him break into the castle with four strange adventurers yesterday, and he hasn't come out since!"

"Damn it! Such a huge reaction, did he blow up the necromantic contamination pool behind the castle?!"

"That bastard!"

……

Eight chains connecting the coffins were all threaded into the smaller coffin, seemingly imprisoning what was inside.

Li Wei immediately sensed something was wrong and exclaimed, "Something's not right! Run!"

The chains jingled and vibrated.

Klecker's expression suddenly sharpened: "Found it!"

Two mages, each holding a gray stone bead the size of a thumb, rushed out of the coffin.

Just as she was about to reach Klek's side, Julia reacted swiftly, shooting an arrow that shattered one of the mage hands. Livi's mage hand, which was about to escape, instantly reappeared, picked up a stone bead, and returned to his position.

Klecker was taken aback, then said angrily:

"You're asking for it!"

Julia endured Klek's taunts the whole way.

I've finally found my chance for revenge!

Bones and Duron quickly stepped in front of Li Wei.

Li Wei stuffed the magic stone map, the stone beads he had stolen from Klek, and the gold coins into the leather pouch at his waist, and shoved the five pieces of equipment that he couldn't quite put together into a complete set, along with the noble rapier, into the leather bag on Duron's back.

The coffin, which had been murky and unclear, suddenly became clearly visible after Klecker took out two stone beads.

The scene inside was reflected in the mirrored chamber.

Kleck, who was confronting Levi, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and was struck dumbfounded.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei and Yulia froze in their tracks, unable to believe it.

When Bones and Duron first saw Li Wei's expression, even the most oblivious of them realized something was wrong.

thump—

dong dong——

A faint heartbeat emanated from the coffin and then spread throughout the entire estate of Baron Della's castle.

The restless undead creatures suddenly stopped, like a speeding carriage that had been brought to a halt by a rude orc's punch.

The long-awaited peace and tranquility did not bring anyone the slightest sense of security.

Instead, it felt like having thorns in my back, and I always felt that something bad was about to happen.

Li Wei is an adventurer who shares a secret chamber with a coffin.

He was certain.

There couldn't be a worse situation than this!

Inside the coffin lay a "person" with their eyes closed.

He wore a full suit of jet-black armor made of necromantic elements, with only his grayish-blue face visible through the helmet.

The wrinkles around her eyes twitched, as if she were about to open them.

Eight chains ran through his shoulder blades, his ribs, his thighs, and his knees.

The man lying there made no move, and the taut chains rattled and trembled.

goo-dong-

Yulia swallowed stiffly, muttering incredulously, "Is...is...it?!"

Li Wei blinked slowly, replacing the nodding gesture.

They were afraid that any movement would disturb the creature inside the coffin that was about to open its eyes.

Every adventurer who joins the Adventurers' Guild will receive a compendium of monsters, creatures, and undead creatures in the current location of the Adventurers' Guild.

The Rolling Stone Town Adventurers' Guild is located right next to Monster Hills.

Everyone has an encyclopedia of monsters and magical beasts.

Because of Baron Indra's castle, the Rolling Stone Town Adventurers' Guild also provides an encyclopedia of undead creatures, which is rarely available in other adventurers' guilds.

The labels indicate common undead creatures such as ghosts and skeletons.

There are also rare undead creatures such as mutated ghosts, skeleton knights, and ghost princesses.

The Rolling Stone Town Adventurers' Guild thoughtfully provided a list of precautions.

Unfortunately, few adventurers have the patience to read through it and memorize it; the Necronomicon either becomes toilet paper or ignition material for starting a campfire.

Most adventurers choose to memorize monster information by rote, and few even read the monster encyclopedia.

The Necromancer's Compendium also marks the appearance and physique of necromancers with extremely high danger levels.

For example, the "Level 2-12 Necromancer General" in the coffin.

The Adventurers' Guild's detailed information about the "Undead General" is not as specific as that for other undead creatures, including details on combat methods and precautions to avoid, such as the "Ghostly Howl" mental shock from the "Mutant Ghost."

It contained only two brief yet chilling and utterly desperate warnings:

"Whether you are a level 1, 2, or 3 adventurer, when you see the Necromancer General, run for your life as fast as you can!"

"Don't be foolish enough to try to fight him, you're not worthy!"

Li Wei was well-versed in the necromancy encyclopedia and was very clear about the strength of the "Necromancer General".

He suppressed his voice and roared at Julia, Bones, and Duron:

"It's the Necromancer General!"

"run!!!"

Bone pressed the button for the mirrored secret room door.

The four of them rushed out the door.

Klecker was dumbfounded.

He never expected that the coffin contained the "sleeping" undead general!

She didn't have time to argue with Li Wei about the stone beads and ran out without looking back.
