Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 572 The Black Pyramid

What will be born of the elf gods and orc gods?Half-elven god?Orc god?Or a half-elf, half-orc god?

The answers are all wrong, in fact, it is an ancient evil called the Devourer of Elves.

During a certain battle between Corellon and Gruumsh, Idiak Oredil, the Devourer of Elves, was born from the divine blood shed from them.

It devours not only the bodies of elves, but also their souls, so all elves and gods hate it.

Many evil forces have used it to achieve various purposes, including but not limited to destroying and killing the kingdom of elves.

On average, every century, it will always appear in the main world once, causing a large number of deaths to the elves.

Legendary level monsters are also strong and weak. The Devourer of Elves basically belongs to the strongest batch. It is immune to a series of effects such as acid, cold, instant death, charm and fear.

It has been chased and suppressed by many elf gods, but it can escape every time, and undergoes a certain degree of mutation and evolution, making it harder to be killed next time.

Up to now, it is difficult for ordinary demigods to cause any effective damage to it, and they must rely on more powerful gods to take action.

More importantly, its powerful power and evil nature soon received strong love from the bottomless abyss, making it also have some kind of demonic characteristics.

Unless it is killed in the bottomless abyss, even if the gods take action, it is impossible to permanently destroy it, it can only be sealed or weakened.

But before, few gods had personally summoned the Devourer of Elves, because it was almost equivalent to officially declaring war on Corellon and the entire elf pantheon.

Of course Rose didn't care about that.

After receiving this information, no matter whether it was Li Wei or the Shadow King, they had no intention of having a party at all. They could only agree to meet again in the future, and then returned to their territories in a little hurry. Even Teclis or the female Demigods are no exception.

If the three legendary monsters released just now are appetizers, and the Devourer of Elves is a feast, but no one can guarantee whether Rose will have other back-ups to serve as desserts.

Li Wei immediately put all his territories on the highest level of preparations to guard against Rose's other plots.

Especially the city of Ostark, which is located in the dark region and is the closest to other drow cities, is the most important thing.

For this reason, Li Wei also specially sent a lot of reinforcements there through the teleportation circle.

Not long after that, Li Wei received news that the expeditionary force sent by the high elves to the Underdark region had been attacked by surprise, and now almost the entire army was wiped out.

The city of Ostark received a few survivors, and learned from the other party that, in addition to a large number of drow elves, spider drow, and some slave races enslaved by them, there are also many undead and vampire drow , and Beastmen of many types and numbers.

The opponents not only have many types and numbers, but also cooperate well. In addition, the sudden incident led to such a miserable end for the expeditionary army of the high elves.

Although there is no more news for the time being, if you think about it, you know that the noble drows under Eilistraee, and even the dwarves and shield dwarves allied with them, will definitely suffer similar attacks.

Li Wei didn't feel any strangeness about the appearance of drow vampires, because Dracula was originally a monster that Rose was inspired by the Devourer of Elves and transformed himself.

Dracula has been a god all the way, and has relied on Rose many times. Now that he can settle in the bottomless abyss, it almost expresses the relationship between him and Rose.

Li Wei is just a bit strange about the appearance of the Beastmen.

Except for a few existences such as the Cave Harpy and the Mole Man, most Beastmen are still accustomed to living in the surface world, and especially like some forests and magic forests, or even caves.

It stands to reason that the drow elves are unlikely to be able to capture so many beastmen as slaves, especially this time there are some tauren who are larger and not suitable for fighting in the Underdark.

Unless, Rose and the Lord of Beasts - Malar joined forces!
Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but make his subordinates more vigilant. These two evil gods were offended by him very much, so there is no big mistake in being careful.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Wei also checked the spoils obtained after defeating the enemy.

The first is the title, Destroyer of the Swarm. From now on, insect enemies below level 6 will not actively attack Li Wei. When he actively attacks insects, the damage will increase by 5, which is not bad.

Penthesilea, who killed the hundred-armed giant, won the title of Hand of Hundred Soldiers, which will allow her to gain a little flying speed when using swords, spears, axes, knives, or other things as throwing weapons. Improvement can be regarded as icing on the cake.

Then, because he witnessed Imrik's ascension of the gods from beginning to end, and repelled the legendary enemies under the gaze of the gods, Li Wei also gained 10 points of fame.

Then there is a bit of earth-attribute divinity provided by the hundred-armed giant. Li Wei wants Lilith to help purify it, but he has not yet considered who to give it to.

At present, there is no powerful existence that uses earth attribute magic on our side. The witch Tiwa of Bitao Village knows some earth attribute magic, but because the environment is too comfortable and comfortable, she is now obsessed with cultivating various jackals, and her level is still in the single digits. Well, I can't afford to be a leader at all, and it's a waste for her.

Therefore, it would be a better choice to hand over to warrior units to improve their survivability.

But even Zhou Miyin, and Elegy and others are far behind in terms of strength and merit, and they are not yet qualified to possess divinity, so we can only observe it later.

There is nothing commendable about the equipment. The weapons and armor used by the hundred-armed giant are all made of the bones of unknown giant beasts, but because the size is very different from that used by humans, they can only be remade.

However, some materials such as the blood of hatred and the crystallization of resentment may have some effect on Li Wei as a mage. After all, they are high-level materials dropped by legendary gods.

Li Wei didn't do anything after that, just quietly waiting for Lilith's news.

As for why Rose threw the Devourer of Elves to the Antarctic instead of Ulthuan, he can roughly guess some of it.

Ulthuan is the sanctuary of the gods, even Rose is not so easy to succeed.

In Antarctica, the high elves have several fortresses and an army of thousands of people. The purpose of their existence is to regularly eliminate the beastmen there, and guard multiple abyss fissures to prevent demons from invading the main world.

Rose chose to target there, on the one hand, to slaughter some elves, and on the other hand, maybe it was to create opportunities for other demons.

Even according to the worst direction, Rose may have had some contact with many demon lords, and even the four gods of chaos.

Power and hatred are the most likely to drive people or gods to extremes, not to mention that Rose is not a normal god in the first place.

After waiting for a while, Lilith contacted Li Wei as expected.

"The Devourer of Elves has been expelled by the gods. In theory, it will not be able to do evil within 10 years, but we still need to be careful."

Li Wei also shared the information he had just obtained with Lilith. Although he knew that Lilith probably already knew it, it also represented his own attitude.

Sure enough, Lilith did already know.

"The Devourer of Elves has the mark of Malar on his body, so we can basically be sure that Rose and Malar have officially joined forces."

"All the elven defenders in Antarctica died heroically. Although the abyss rift there was sealed by the gods, I could feel the aura of many demon lords. Rose is probably forming a huge evil alliance."

While speaking, Lilith also felt a little irritated. Although she got the memory of the parallel world, in her memory, there were not so many powerful gods and monsters there.

Each of their actions may have a certain impact. Under the chain reaction, up to now, those memories cannot be said to be completely useless, but the limitations have become bigger and bigger.

For her, the more useful ones may be about the recovery of the four gods of chaos, some major events in the main world, and the personalities of special characters.

For example, Manfred is born rebellious, he can sell any existence for profit, even if he can trade for a while, but he must not be completely trusted;

For another example, Nagash has always wanted to become the God of Death, and he has really achieved something. If Li Wei can find the secret hidden by Nagash, and with his own help, it is absolutely possible to become the God of Death;
And the Beastmen's attack on Athel Loren was not simple. In addition to their hatred of the wood elves, they still wanted to take the opportunity to corrupt the magic forest, as well as many trees and the wood elf queen Ariel.

Fortunately, I have already made some arrangements in advance, and Teclis has been busy with this matter recently, and the conspiracy of the beastmen is destined not to come true.

But despite this, with the continuous intervention of powerful beings such as gods and demon lords, she felt that a lot of information had completely lost its value.

What she needs most now is power. If the power is strong enough, all the schemes will be useless!

That's why she worked so hard to cultivate some truly reliable and trustworthy allies to fight more evil together.

Now Imrik has made a very good start, and she hopes that Levi can grow up faster.

However, she always felt that Rose's plan should not be so simple.

Killing some elves, besides exhaling, what good could it do Rose?

On the contrary, it made Corellon and other gods realize that Rose and Dracula, Malar, etc. have officially joined forces.

Therefore, the appearance of the Devourer of Spirits is also likely to cover up other purposes!
"So, does the goddess need me to do something?"

"Under the condition of ensuring your own safety, try your best to march towards Fengshen!"

Lilith's expectation, is it not Li Wei's wish?

So in the next period of time, after confirming that Rose didn't seem to have any interest in the Fear Rock, Li Wei was no longer eager to rush to the new battlefield, but frequently used teleportation spells, in Brass Fortress and Lustia Purify the plague in other places and publicize his reputation.

When encountering demons or beastmen occasionally, he usually gave up the opportunity to Elegy, Donna and Cindy.

Unless it is an enemy like Khorne bloodthirsty maniac, it would be meaningless for him to kill ordinary miscellaneous soldiers, but if Elegy and the others can be promoted to legend as soon as possible, it will undoubtedly be of great help to their own side. improvement.

During this period, the Jade Phoenix mages also provided information to Saifa twice, and signaled that she could go to watch the battle, and also take a look at the fighting methods of other Jade Phoenix mages, which may help Saifa better grasp The power of the previous life.

After discussing with Li Wei for a while, Saifa decisively took Li Wei and others to the appointment.

Then Li Wei discovered that these Master Yufeng really didn't make a move, and once they did, it was a big deal.

The first time they fought a Barlow flame demon who had broken the seal, and the second time they simply wanted to surround an unknown demon lord who was trying to invade the main world.

Li Wei and others, who were delighted to see Lie Xin, of course could not be purely spectators. They also joined the battle one after another, fighting side by side with the Yufeng mages.

While accumulating some experience against the enemy, they also learned that such a thing is actually very rare for Master Yufeng, and they may not have encountered it once in the past few decades.

But since the Devourer of Elves briefly appeared in Antarctica, it seemed as if some kind of channel had been opened up. All kinds of powerful alien evils began to invade the main world more easily.

Even the Yufeng mages, who take protecting the world as their own responsibility, feel a little powerless.

Although there is no more definite evidence, everyone knows that this must be part of Rose's sinister plan.

Perhaps, it was because she realized that with the power of her and the drows, it was no longer enough to avenge the entire elf god system, so she tried to pull the demon lords into battle collectively, even if the price might be the complete collapse of the entire main world ?
But even with such guesses, they can't influence the gods. The only thing they can do is to try to discover all threats in advance and drive them all back to their lairs.

Then Li Wei also discussed with Kalida, Mikaela and others, wanting to learn from Imrik on the Rock of Fear, and also build a splendid temple to prepare for the future conferred gods.

Khalida expressed strong support for this, and she expressed very generously that she was willing to do everything she could to help Li Wei complete this matter.

Li Weike had saved her more than once, and also helped her a lot in other areas. At this critical moment, she naturally had to go all out. Anyway, the wealth in the treasury really didn't mean much to her.

With her help, Fear Rock started construction soon, and Thorn Town and other places also started preparations, but what many people don't know is that similar things are happening in the Double Moon World.

The Eladrin there were originally followers of Corellon, but Corellon abandoned them later, but they didn't feel resentful because of this. Instead, they wanted a real god to accept and protect them.

So Li Wei only revealed a little bit of insignificant details, and those high-level Eladrin were ecstatic. They burst out with double enthusiasm and worked hard to complete these tasks.

At the same time, Corellon finally made up his mind to fight back against Rose's many evil deeds.

In addition to sending a new crusade to continue the assault on the evil drow in the Underdark, Corellon himself gave instructions.

He called a number of legends and high-ranking priests of the church to carry out an investigation against the patron saint of drow warriors, the weak divine power of the fighter known as Rose - Sylvetam, in the most important town in the main world - Ajhut. There was a raid.

Li Wei is not very clear about the specific battle process, but the result is very clear. The large town with a population of more than 10, the holy place of the Selvetam Church in the main world, has now been completely reduced to ruins.

For a weak divine power, this kind of blow is undoubtedly very fatal, and it may even shake other believers' belief in Selvetam.

It's just Corellon's behavior, but it can't completely restore the impression that the elves and gods have on him.

Everyone knows that Selvetam is the sharp sword in Rose's hand. If you don't trouble Rose, but just hit Selvetam, how effective will it be?And you said you didn't take care of your old relationship?
The elf god of thieves was just killed by Rose not long ago. After learning about this, I am afraid that he will really die with regret?
But Corellon's combat power is irreplaceable for the elf gods, no matter how many thoughts they have in their hearts, they can only choose to endure.

After a few more days, many existences began to be gradually confirmed. The space barrier of the main world seemed to become weaker, which made it easier for demons and other evils from other worlds to invade.

At the same time, many evil beings that were originally sealed in the main world also began to revive frequently, which made all races more and more mired in the quagmire of war, and even the high elves could not completely stay out of it, and almost all of their many overseas fortresses had wars .

On the contrary, various demon sects have gradually become active. In countries such as the Southern Kingdom, they even dare to appear in the sun openly and compete with many gods to rob believers.

Thinking of Rose's abnormal behavior before, the gods basically understood that it must have something to do with her.

In a sense, Rose has also become a huge threat. Her organized conspiracy may harm the interests of all gods.

If she is allowed to continue, God knows how many crazy things she can do for revenge.

But the gods didn't have the energy to deal with Rose for the time being, because Cyric became more and more crazy. Under his influence, his followers also started carnival. They seemed to really think that Cyric was the only one in the world. God.

The most brilliant lie is to lie to oneself, and Cyric, who now holds the priesthood of lies, is indeed capable of doing this.

Therefore, no matter lawful or neutral, no matter they are good or evil, at least dozens of churches, large and small, began to attack Cyric's church in their own ways.

Most of them are human gods, but there are also other gods, which makes the main world more chaotic.

However, this kind of chaos also represents an opportunity for some beings.

For example, Li Wei, he received an official notification from the Beetle Prince today, saying that they can officially go to the Black Pyramid of Nagash.

In exchange, Li Wei needs to return the Crypt Assassin-Arak to him.

Li Wei agreed, anyway, that thing would be of little use out of the desert, and he originally planned to use it for trading.

After communicating with Lilith and Illidan, just in case, he called Elegy and the others, and teleported directly to the meeting place, which was the ruins of a village about 15 miles away from the Black Pyramid.

Under the rule of the Tomb Kings, the number of living people is far less than that of the dead. Most of the mummies and skeleton soldiers only need one coffin, so there are very few small villages under the Tomb Kings. , most of the living people were concentrated near the towns.

Gradually, the abandoned village turned into ruins before my eyes.

"Bring something?"

Seeing Li Wei nodding, the Beetle Prince didn't talk nonsense anymore, but said a little urgently: "Okay, the Immortal Emperor is still attacking the city, and the gods are not here for the time being, so we just took the opportunity to go to the Black Pyramid!"

Li Wei couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly. While casting the spell, he asked seemingly casually: "Why, did the gods rest collectively today?"

The black pyramid has always stood there, but they have never been there before. On the one hand, it is because it is very close to the territory of the Immortal Emperor. If they go there rashly, there is a great chance that the beetle prince will be beaten.

On the other hand, it is because the Beetle Prince said that the Egyptian gods are always watching here.

Li Wei had also tried to get close several times before, but not to mention the large number of bright and dark whistles, he felt at least a dozen different fluctuations of divine power, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

But now the Beetle Prince suddenly said that things have changed. Does that mean that civil strife in the Egyptian pantheon may break out at any time?

The Beetle Prince snorted: "Even you elves should have heard about the conflict between the two brothers. Recently, they have started to quarrel frequently. The matter of the Immortal Emperor is just an introduction."

While speaking, the Beetle Prince had no respect for the two gods at all.

Although he was able to return to the main world because of Osiris' special care, his current appearance is not as good as an ordinary mummy, and Osiris didn't send him back for free!
"Is that so?"

"Well, so this time a new Son of God is about to be born, and the King of God wants to take this opportunity to ease the conflict. He held a banquet in the kingdom of the gods. After the official birth of the Son of God in the past few days, probably all the ancient tombs The kings will also celebrate this."

"The new Son of God? Whose?"

If it is a god and a mortal, it may be slightly better, but if it is a combination of a god and a god, it will often consume a lot of power.

At the critical moment when the four gods of chaos are revived and the entire main world is in turmoil, does the Egyptian gods still have the mind to have children?
It would be even more fun if a godly evil happened.

"It's the Lord of the Jackals and his sister."

Unless there are other gods to protect them, if all things call the names of the gods directly, they may be known by the other party immediately, so the beetle prince is also very cautious this time.

It's fine if he doesn't help, since he promised to help, he will try his best to do his best.

But of course Li Wei knew who the Beetle Prince was talking about, the siblings Seth and Nephthys.

Needless to say, the former is an ambitious, powerful and intelligent evil deity who has successfully stolen the faith of many snake people.

According to Li Wei's knowledge, there are already tens of thousands of snake people who have migrated through the Underdark Region.

The latter is a weak divine power with the four priesthoods of the rich, trade, protector of the dead, and protector of children. As Seth's wife, she is also known as the Lady of the Desert.

Because of the priesthood of the guardian of the dead, she occasionally assists her other brother, Osiris.

It is worth mentioning that, in the myths known to Li Wei, whether the child born by Nephthys is Seth's has always been an unsolved mystery.

Probably in order to maintain the purity of the blood and the cohesion of the gods, the Egyptian gods advocated intermarriage. If Nephthys could choose Seth, he might also choose Osiris.

But all doubts will be revealed immediately after the birth of the Son of God.

Li Wei thought to himself, perhaps, after today's affairs are over, he should also accept the invitation of the Assassin Celestial Clan and go to the Star King's Court.

Then take a trip to Elysium and Paradise Mountain to make full preparations for a future plan.

If Seth was really cuckolded by his brother, would he, who was already harboring evil intentions, continue to endure it?

After casting a series of magic such as flying and invisibility, Li Wei and the beetle prince went straight to the black pyramid.

Even though he has advanced a certain distance, Li Wei still doesn't quite understand the current state of Prince Beetle.

When under attack, each of his beetles calculates the defense and life value separately, and they are all separate individuals.

But when he was applying magic to the opponent just now, all of them were successful at one time. At this time, the beetle prince was regarded as a whole again.

But he can be sure that these beetles are living creatures with vitality, which is very complicated.

In the end, Li Wei can only say that Osiris definitely spent a lot of time on Prince Beetle.

At the same time, Li Wei also experienced the joy of having an undercover agent as a teammate. When Li Wei came by himself, he had to carefully check almost every step, for fear of arousing the vigilance of the other party.

But the beetle prince seemed to have already memorized the patrol map in his heart. He would take Li Wei to take the safest path every time, until he was less than a mile away from the Black Ze Pyramid, and the beetle prince didn't stop.

Just when Li Wei wondered if the other party was digging a hole for him, Prince Beetle slowed down a little, and finally stopped in the middle of the vast pyramid that was as dark as ink and over 500 meters high.

Then he took out a special token with a white Egyptian crown on it, and crossed flails and hooks on the bottom, which is the emblem of Osiris.

Turning his head to look at Li Wei, the Beetle Prince inserted the token into the air in front of him like a key, and spun it three times to the left and three times to the right.

After repeating it several times in a row, without a sound, the two black boulders in front opened like doors, revealing a straight passage.

The Beetle Prince stepped into it first. To be on the safe side, Li Wei sought help from the ascetic to let her fit with him, and then chased after the Beetle Prince. At the same time, he also made Elegy and others ready to fight.

Because the doubts in his heart are increasing.

There is no doubt that this token was written by Osiris. No matter what the relationship between him and the beetle prince is, once this matter is exposed, the beetle prince probably won't have a second chance to use it.

The Beetle Prince seemed a little too enthusiastic this time. How could he be worth so much for just being a Crypt Assassin?He must have other plans!
After passing through a zigzag passageway of at least a thousand meters in a row, the eyes suddenly opened up.

In the space of about [-] to [-] square meters, although there are traces of battles everywhere, from a few details, it can still be seen how luxurious it used to be.

A beam of sunlight shines directly on a bone frame that is kneeling on one knee, and there is an extremely weak magic circle underneath. It may not be able to do anything except protect the skeleton from being destroyed by sunlight or mosquitoes.

In the direction of the skull head, there are murals of several Egyptian gods headed by Osiris.

Other than that, there is nothing else here.

After carefully staring at the skeleton for a few seconds, the Beetle Prince gave a disdainful "cut": "Li Wei, I have brought you in as agreed. Give me the Crypt Assassin, and we will settle the matter."

Li Wei is not a mother-in-law, so he directly handed over the things to the other party. Although Prince Beetle is notorious and does many things very cruelly, so far, it is still very comfortable to cooperate with this guy.

Then he said with some uncertainty: "Is this skeleton Nagash?"

"To be more precise, it is a body that Nagash once used. You should know that for an existence like him, it is not difficult to change the body."

"It's just that I'm still a little disappointed. This guy who caused heavy losses to the Egyptian gods, after turning into a skeleton, seems to be no different from other mortals."

He also wanted to find Nagash, but the scarab prince's starting point was completely different from that of the Egyptian gods, but he was really disappointed this time.

The dirge next to him couldn't help grinning, Osiris is really stingy enough, he couldn't find where Nagash's soul was hidden, so he used a skeleton to accept punishment for the other party here?

Li Wei pondered for a moment: "You seem to be dissatisfied with the current situation?"

Saying this, Li Wei looked at a pile of murals on the wall again, and threw several small magic tricks over.

Magic's feedback told him that it was indeed just a very ordinary mural, but he felt that there seemed to be a guy peeping at him inside, which was not a good omen.

Similarly, Elegy, Cindy, and Penthesilea, all with their weapons in their hands, ready for emergencies, felt that the murals seemed too realistic.

The Beetle Prince didn't care about this, he just snorted angrily: "If you changed from a living person to what I am now, would you be satisfied?"

Food, costumes, singing and dancing, and of course beauties.

Those things he loved before he was alive, but now he can't even see them with his eyes, because his body is only left with a bare skull, how can he be reconciled to this?
Li Wei nodded and said no more. If this is the case, then maybe the two parties will have opportunities to cooperate in the future
Then he took out a space ring with his backhand: "Your token should still take us out, right? Why don't you wait for me here for a few minutes?"

Compared with keeping secrets, Li Wei wanted safety more. If there was no beetle prince here, once the Egyptian gods noticed him, he might be caught and beaten violently.

Because as soon as he came in, he noticed that there was an extremely powerful barrier inside the black pyramid, which directly cut off the possibility of him leaving through teleportation magic.

As for the possibility of revealing the secrets of the nine volumes of Nagash, that is also a helpless thing, not to mention that recently Akhan has begun to publicize this matter all over the world.

Of course Akhan was not really sure that Li Wei had collected all the nine volumes, but he was really right.
The Beetle Prince glanced at the contents inside, and his tone was a little calmer: "Although you beat Akhan away, I feel very dissatisfied, but you can indeed perfectly replace him."

Of course he would be very satisfied, in addition to the construct, there are two bone dragons inside, which are the flying arms he lacks the most.

After defeating the Rotten Dragon God, Li Wei got a lot of materials, which just happened to be used as waste.

"Li Wei, then I'll wait for you for another 60 breaths. My token only has this time left."

If the time required to cross the passage is subtracted, it means that there are only a few minutes in total?
Thinking of this, Li Wei directly began to follow the instructions of the system to summon the hidden secrets of Nagash with the power of the nine volumes of Nagash.

I don't know how much surprise Nagash will bring him, or, fright?
