Chapter 395 Viper Queen - Nitotris(1/3)
So a minute later, when he just pushed open an old door, Levi discovered that there was a magnificent underground hall in front of him.
At the end of the line of sight, there is a blood-red altar filled with an ominous atmosphere.
A woman wearing a gold mask was being tied in front of the altar and being bled.
Although he couldn't see the other party's face, Levi immediately confirmed the other party's identity from his unique mask, his exquisite figure that could not be covered by bandages, and the special snake staff standing next to him.
Although the Tomb Kings were resurrected by the Egyptian gods, they were either mummies or skeletons, or they became half mummies and half skeletons due to weathering.
Their bodies are extremely thin, and their weight is often less than one-fifth of what they were before they were alive.
Only Khalida, the warrior queen of Lahmia City, is so unique because she was transformed into a vampire during her lifetime.
She looks no different from humans except that her skin is slightly pale and she doesn't need to breathe or eat.
But now she seems to be in some special state. Even though she is being bled alive by the enemy, she still has no reaction.
As a legendary hero, this is simply incredible.
Then under the altar were hundreds of lizardmen who had also been bled, but had all turned into corpses.
Judging from their equipment and the weapons scattered around, in addition to ordinary lizardmen warriors, there are also several small groups of lizardmen's top infantry - temple guards.
The various strange patterns on their bodies indicate that they may have received some kind of special blessing.
The gods that the Lizardmen believe in are called "Old Saints". Although they don't care about faith at all, and there are almost no churches or even idols, they do prove their existence in other ways.
Such blessed lizardmen are often called "divine-blessed lizardmen".
There is often a big gap in strength between them and ordinary units of the same level and the same name. Almost all of them are elite units.
But despite this, they all turned into corpses, piled together randomly, and became sacrifices in a vast magic circle.
Levi finally understood now that the Bone Temple was not without defenders, but that all the defenders had been killed.
But the person who took action was not the existence that Levi had guessed before, but a very beautiful and typical vampire with bat wings on his back.
At this time, she was located several meters away from Khalida, guarded by a bloody energy shield.
Visible streams of energy flowed out from the corpses on the ground and the unconscious Khalida. It seemed that she was presiding over this grand ceremony.
And the thousands of undead in the hall are naturally her helpers.
There are no low-level zombies, skeletons or ghouls. Instead, there are a large number of zombies, demon corpses, mummies, ghosts, necromancers and vampires.
There is no doubt that this is a very typical church that belongs to the Lich God-Veshalon!
When Vesalun's Kingdom of God was destroyed, and it itself was forced to fall into the main world, and is still being surrounded and suppressed by major forces, Levi found a church of this size, and it was indeed a good thing.
Big fish.
This big fish is probably a ferocious shark.
Although it is almost certain that the opponent used some conspiracy and tricks, the power of being able to control the legendary Khalida cannot be underestimated.
Looking at Levi pushing open the door, the female vampire had a joking face at first, because she had long sensed his arrival and had her subordinates ready to prepare.
But when she saw those heavenly creatures, her expression immediately changed.
Not fear or fear, but joy: "Are you the high elf who was rewarded by my lord, Levi from Black Castle?"
Although he had already heard about Vesalun's stinginess, when he heard this, Levi almost couldn't help laughing.
After all, he is a god. After being punished, he does not go to trouble other gods. Instead, he offers a bounty to himself. This is picking the persimmon first, and your choice is too much.
However, is this not an opportunity?
So he secretly and quickly made a gesture to Cindy, Elegy and others, instructing them to retreat temporarily, while Li Wei took the initiative to take a few steps forward.
"If the master you are talking about is the guy named Veshalon, then it is indeed me."
The female vampire, who was originally smiling, changed her color immediately after hearing this: "How dare you, how dare you call my Lord by his name?"
Sefa Sonia next to her also changed her color, and even the frosty Martis did not hide his surprise.
No matter how infamous Velsharon is and how declining he is, he is still a true god after all.
Not to mention calling her by name so rudely, many people don't even dare to curse a few more words in their hearts.
Because the gods have a special instinct, any mortal being who calls their name directly will be directly sensed by them.
If it is a silent prayer from a pastor or believer, it will also be delivered directly to them.
Therefore, the gods are actually very busy, and they often create clones to assist them in related work.
Or he is as arrogant as Cyric, the Prince of Lies, who directly blocks most sounds that he is not interested in.
The reason why Levi said Lilith was really strong more than once before is also related to this.
She wears many hats, and each priesthood has to cover different groups of priests and believers. However, she is also a well-known workaholic, appearing more times in a year than most gods in a lifetime.
She has to accept countless prayers and calls every day, and she has to give different responses according to different situations. Just think about it and you will know how hard she works.
If they use their divine power, the gods even have the ability to know whether a person is secretly scolding him or not.
Therefore, in most cases, even churches that are in a hostile state will almost never directly insult the other party's god.
However, there is an exception, that is, the mortal object that mentions the other person's name is protected by other gods.
For example, today's Levi.
Lilith is perhaps the strongest person in the world at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. She has rich experience.
In addition, her real strength is much stronger than Velsalun, and she also has the priesthood of Mist, so it is not easy to cover up this little thing.
But this time Levi did not hide it. He even communicated with Lilith in advance and wanted her to temporarily revoke this special care, and she agreed.
Because he and she have the same purpose.
Even though Velsalun has lost his kingdom of God, he is still a powerful lich. Even with the blessing of godhood and priesthood, it can be said that he is the strongest lich.
Before becoming a god, he was certainly not the strongest lich. He was just lucky enough to be chosen by Talos, the King of Storms, and wanted to cultivate him first, then kill him and turn him into food for him to become stronger.
But being cunning, he changed this situation by hugging the mother of magic.
Then he began to find and destroy the lichs in the main world one by one, so now he is indeed the strongest lich.
There is such a guy lurking behind the scenes, which inevitably makes people a little worried. It is better to take the initiative to lure him out and then kill him.
As Velsalun, who is proud, arrogant and narrow-minded at the same time, he would definitely not like to see a mortal whose strength is not valued by him at all, shouting and insulting him there.
The success rate of this plan is actually very high!
So when faced with the angry female vampire, he didn't care: "Oh, you mean the Kingdom of God has been destroyed, and Vesalun is now running around like a mouse?"
Not only the female vampire was stunned at this time, Sefa and others who were retreating back according to Cindy's words were also in a daze.
For a moment, they almost doubted their own ears. Was Levi deliberately provoking high-level believers of the Lich God, or even himself?
As for the other necromancers and the like present, they were trembling with fear at the moment and did not dare to speak at all.
Not afraid of Levi, but afraid of Velsharon.
Because based on their past experiences and some secretly circulated stories, if Velshalun really appeared now, then it would not only be the arrogant elf opposite who would die.
Those believers who failed to stop each other from uttering arrogant words in time will probably not end well either.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if it was because someone had fished like this recently, or if they were really inseparable for the time being, or for some other reason. In short, Vesalun did not show up immediately to punish Li Wei for daring to blaspheme the gods.
of all things.
He didn't send the message to the female vampire, it was as if he didn't hear it at all.
As a result, there was a rare moment of calm for a few seconds, with neither the enemy nor ourselves making any major moves.
Li Wei was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he laughed.
"Look, even if I insulted him like this, he didn't dare to show anything because he was already too busy taking care of himself."
Then his voice changed: "On the contrary, I'm really curious, why do you, a vampire, call yourself a follower of Velshalon?"
As we all know, although Velsharon's followers include special creatures such as lichs and users of necromancy such as necromancers, he is also the only god who can recruit followers among undead creatures.
But lichs are clearly transformed from the souls of powerful mage, but vampires, even the gods cannot be sure whether they have souls, so how can they have faith?
The female vampire hesitated when she heard this, and then she became a little angry and said: "That is my business, Levi, you insulted my lord and dared to be so presumptuous in front of the great Viper Queen, you have to pay the price for it!
"
The female vampire who called herself the Viper Queen raised her right hand high, ready to give orders to kill Levi and the troops behind him.
But at this moment, another female voice spoke: "Well, I seem to remember who she is, no wonder she looks familiar."
As soon as he turned around, Levi saw Maldis gently rubbing his head and said thoughtfully:
"The Viper Queen, Nitotris, was a follower of Velsalun during her lifetime. She once attempted to seize the divinity from the Tomb Queen, Khalida, and use it to become a god."
"But it was destroyed by the famous 'seeker of destruction' hired by Khalida - the dwarf butcher Gotrek, and his human partner - Felix."
"I didn't expect that you, who was thought to be dead, were actually transformed into a vampire?"
Gotrek, the legendary dwarf butcher, is the strongest but also the most failed butcher in history.
When all dwarves swear to become butchers, they will shave off their proud beards, take off their battle armor, shave their hair into a cockcomb shape, and dye it a striking bright yellow.
