The Rise of the Cemetery

The Arcane Tower was shaking slightly.

The water cloud shield that had been covering Sardo Island and its surrounding waters for a long time has also disappeared, and the towering body of the Arcane Tower once again appeared in front of the world.

If Zena's plan hadn't led most of the enemies to another sea area, the young mage really wouldn't have dared to let the Arcane Tower reveal itself so openly.

With the full operation of the anti-gravity device and the energy system running through the entire Arcane Tower, the Arcane Tower named "Pioneer" by the young mage has left the ground with a buzzing sound. The moxa dust stuck to the base of the tower was scattered, as if sending a farewell to the departure of the Arcane Tower, and a ring-shaped dust mist spread around.

It looks very slow, but it is actually several times faster than Li Xun's all-out flying technique. The Arcane Tower just paused at a height of 100 meters, and it turned into a stream of light and swept away towards the distance.

Li Xun took You Nu's hand, and the two of them sat side by side in the central control room of the Pioneer Arcane Tower. Through the monitoring network spread all over the tower, they could sense the progress of the Arcane Tower's ascent and speed. The whole process. Although it doesn't have the feeling of flying against the wind with the wind blowing against the face and the clothes fluttering, but it is more able to experience a kind of leisurely travel in the world.

The Arcane Tower hardly felt too much vibration during the flight, and the high-altitude wind shaping was firmly blocked by the transparent force field shield outside the tower, and it could not erode the interior of the Arcane Tower at all.

"We should have called Sister Xilisi!" You Nu couldn't help regretting.

Since Siris needs to replace the young mage to sit in the Isidil Arcane Tower, she can't personally experience the fun of riding the Arcane Tower to travel through the clouds, but she also indirectly experienced the sense of accomplishment of manipulating such a behemoth by sharing the senses of the young mage.

It was the first time that I walked through the white and soft clouds so unobstructed. Through the gaps between the white clouds, I could see the blue sea passing by quickly under my feet. Occasionally, I could see one or two small islands in the fleeting light. The cheerful seabirds soared freely on the sea, but before the three young mages could see their appearance clearly, they were left behind by the Arcane Tower in an instant.

In order to avoid being spied on by the Arcane Tower, after ascending into the clouds, under Issa's suggestion, the Pioneer Arcane Tower slowly opened the refraction device and the invisibility barrier. This arcane tower once again disappeared into the vast sea of ​​clouds.

"Master, where are we going?" After flying freely in the vast blue sea and blue sky for a while, letting the passengers who were flying in the arcane tower for the first time have a good time, Issa issued a message to the young mage. asked questions.

"Go to the stage arranged by Zena, don't let them make any trouble!" The young mage thought for a while: "The coordinate point is XXXXXXXXXX"

The shock of the Arcane Tower could hardly be felt, and the 100-meter-high tower drew a rounded arc in midair, flying towards an unknown space beacon.

...

Half Moon Island is a large island shaped like a crescent moon.

On the vast sea, seven or eight merchant ships with messy styles slowly approached the inner side of the crescent tip extending to one side of Half Moon Island.

On the largest merchant ship in the fleet, a tall figure in a full burqa stood proudly at the bow, silently looking at the approaching Half Moon Island. With the gentle sea breeze, the corner of the burqa was raised, revealing the exquisite and gorgeous silk robe inside, with silver borders and gold lines painted on it, showing a noble and luxurious state.

However, if a church member is here, he will be surprised to find that those curved lines are not extravagant gold ornaments of nobles and rich people, but hymns drawn in a special way. magical robes.

A middle-aged strong man with a beard and a resolute face hurriedly walked behind the tall figure, and whispered: "Dear Mr. Hayman, Half Moon Island has arrived. According to reliable information, the island entrenched It is most likely the lair of the cultists that we are looking for in the temple. Do you see?"

"Landing to set up a camp, we need to survey the terrain here in advance and understand the specific situation of the enemy! Let everyone land!" The tall and tall answer was concise and crisp, but also with a determination that could not be violated.

"yes!"

The middle-aged strong man answered in a low voice, and after bowing to salute, he hurried back to the captain's cabin and went down to convey the orders of the adults.

After a series of merchant ships found a suitable docking place, while the people left behind were busy clearing up the wasteland and setting up camp, the first expedition team had already landed fully armed and entered the dense forest.

Different from other ordinary adventurer teams and mercenary groups on the mainland, this 8-person exploration team is surprisingly composed of warriors. Most members of the team have been configured for basic adventure exploration tasks, including 1 ranger, 2 thieves, and 2 mercenaries. The three core members who commanded in the center of the team took off their outer burqas, revealing the standard all-metal mail armor.

The well-maintained metal finish shines silver and is beautifully painted with metallic sprigging. If coupled with the same exquisite iron gauntlets, iron foot guards, and knight shields on the back, these equipments are enough to show the status of these people as knights.

The coat of arms on the chest of the tall knight who is the commander of the exploration team is impressively a balance scale carved on a warhammer with a blue shield as the background. Anyone who is familiar with Klein Continent can understand that this person is the Guardian Knight of the Temple of Justice.

In Klein Continent, knights and mages are the two most difficult and costly professions to advance to. Unlike other professions, ordinary adventurers only need a simple leather armor and a handy weapon to be successful. The knight class needs a full set of knight equipment and sophisticated weapons and armor, so it is not the noble class, and it is impossible to support a fully armed knight.

However, in the group of knights, they can be divided into two categories in detail. One is the class of knights who serve ordinary nobles, great nobles, and even kingdoms. Although they are well-equipped and skilled in combat, they are still regarded as secular knights, and they are the lowest class in the noble group. And those knights who serve the church organization can obtain divine magic blessings on the basis of ordinary combat skills, so people call them guardian knights or church knights.

But at this moment, the person who appeared on a remote island and acted as the commander of an exploration team mainly composed of adventurers was a real guardian knight. And judging from his agility and efficiency in wearing heavy mail armor, he should be at least a mid-level knight.

The team walked silently through the dense forest, and Cohen, who was walking in the front, smelled the strong sea breeze and forest smell in the wind, and felt his spirits were lifted. As a bushranger, or ranger as he was often called, the woods were his home, and Cohen knew exactly what kind of forest would bring what kind of game.

Where they are there, there is no need to worry about the attack of wild animals, and you don't have to worry about finding water sources and camping places, so some teams who go out for wild adventures like to bring one or two rangers.

But this adventure was anything but ordinary.

Although the guardian knights who hired him didn't explain in detail what they were looking for, but based on their solemn posture and the large troops staying behind, they knew that it was definitely not something that was easy to destroy. What made him feel uneasy was that he actually saw the figure of a great priest on the leading ship. This... This made him even more terrified!

These apostolic knights and priests have always taken it as their duty to eradicate evil and fight against evil spirits. If a priest who presides over a certain area can personally go out, the evil must have a great origin!

With this kind of cognition, when he looked at the familiar jungle again, his eyes were different. With the intuition of a veteran ranger who has been in the adventure business for more than ten years, Cohen can smell an inexplicable strange smell from the familiar jungle.

When Cohen stopped his figure and scanned the dense jungle in front of him with piercing eyes, the knight lord caught up with his agility not commensurate with his figure.

"What did you find?" Sir Knight quickly surveyed the silent jungle and asked in a low voice.

"No abnormalities have been found so far, but, sir, haven't you noticed that this place is too quiet? Why haven't you seen any small animals here, even seabirds..." Cohen replied respectfully in a low voice , Observing the facial expression of Lord Knight secretly with experienced eyes.

Knight Aitoun is an orthodox middle-level knight. As the guardian knight of Tyr, the god of justice, he has always upheld the eight knights of "humility, integrity, mercy, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul". guidelines. It's a pity that there was a strict order from the priest on this trip, and all information must not be leaked, so he could only order to move forward with a straight face.

After a few fingers, the team began to move on.

Half Moon Island is considered a big island among the many islands near the coast. Except for the two long and narrow crescents that protrude far away and are covered with sandy beaches and piles of gravel, the center of the entire 17-mile-thick island is covered with dense and difficult cliff jungles. Since there are replenishing freshwater streams on the outer edge of the island, few merchant ships ventured to explore the deeper center of the island, so no one can say what the situation there is.

However, the Aitoen knights who accompanied the exploration team knew that just 5 days ago, a small adventure team funded by the Justice Church and ordered to explore disappeared on Half Moon Island. However, before disappearing, they secretly sent back an inexplicable magic message, so this improvised church team came here under the leadership of the great priest, Lord Heyman.

As far as he knew, the purpose of their dispatched team was to eradicate a certain cultist's lair. But they don't know what kind of cultists they are or how large they are, so they can only rely on their small exploration team to clear the way for the large army.
