080 What Is ‘Trust’
Liang Lidong was very familiar with this smell. When the dark elements gathered together, it would form a smell that was somewhat like rancidity.
"Have you ever checked what's going on inside this tomb?"
Gavin nodded, with an angry look on his face: "I've seen it, my grandfather's body is missing."
Liang Lidong looked at the dark cave, which was about one meter wide. Even a fat man could crawl out of this cave, let alone a skeleton that had been dead for decades and had no flesh. For the Necromancer, it is not difficult to control a corpse, but the strange thing is here. The Necromancer usually drives away a large number of corpses. It is not cost-effective for them to control a corpse alone, unless this one What special meaning does the corpse have to it?
And there was something even stranger. Liang Lidong frowned and said, "Your Mugunghua family used illusion and defensive composite magic circles to build such a family cemetery. It stands to reason that without the magic nameplate in your hand, outsiders cannot enter." . But a necromancer not only came in, but also stole the remains of an elder of your family. This is weird and unreasonable no matter how you look at it."
Gavin's fat, round face twisted for a moment: "At first, I thought there was a mole in the clan, but after an investigation, no one had touched my magic nameplate. Even if they colluded with the Necromancer, they wouldn't be able to do anything else. Enter here with information about destroying the magic circle."
Liang Lidong waved and said, "Show me your magic nameplate."
Gavin hesitated for a while. This magic nameplate is the only certificate to enter here, and the other party is a spell caster. If he sees through the mystery on it, the Althea family will suffer a big loss. But after thinking for a while, he handed the magic nameplate to Liang Lidong's hand.
Liang Lidong took it and looked at it for a while, then returned it and said with a smile: "Your family's magic nameplate has not been changed for more than three hundred years."
Gavin was very surprised: "How do you know?"
Liang Lidong smiled, he is a master of magic theory and a master of magic array. In the game, he helped the Althea family design this magic circle to protect some of the Althea family's confidential places, and the design was also given to Dinah. Unexpectedly, three hundred years have passed, and the Althea family has not made even the slightest change to the design of the magic circle. Even the core design of the magic nameplate remains the same.
Liang Lidong's smile seemed a bit resentful, but in Gavin's eyes, it seemed profound and unfathomable. Nobles like to speculate on people's hearts, and Gavin is no exception. He had several guesses about Liang Lidong's sudden smile in an instant, but he rejected them one by one. Then, considering Liang Lidong's character, he simply Asked: "Your Excellency Beta, have you thought of anything?"
"Now I am sure that someone has cracked your magic nameplate." Liang Lidong turned around and walked out: "It's best to pay attention to the people around you to see who has the opportunity to touch your magic nameplate from time to time."
Gavin's face suddenly became gloomy. Liang Lidong's words touched the scar in his heart: "The only people who can come in and out of my room at will are my wife and daughter. My wife has been dead for several years, and my daughter is simply an ordinary person. , it is impossible for her to know magic, and it is impossible for her to come into contact with the Necromancer. Sir Beta, have you made a mistake? Our family's magic nameplate has been used for more than three hundred years, and no one has ever cracked it. It is the ancestor. The special magic circle skills left behind, not to mention ordinary spell casters, even the Royal Magic Master in the Imperial City cannot understand our family's magic circle diagram."
Liang Lidong said coldly: "Can you really guarantee that a magic nameplate that has not been replaced for more than three hundred years is foolproof? Even the goddess of magic dare not say such a thing, but your Mugunghua family is so sure. It's really true. Be confident.”
Liang Lidong's words were filled with merciless irony. If he were facing ordinary people, Liang Lidong would not speak like this, but they were from the Mugunghua family, and Liang Lidong couldn't help but become so 'mean'.
Gavin was choked and felt a little depressed, and he said: "If Mr. Beta thinks that the Necromancer is in our family, you can come and investigate. How about I ask everyone in the family to stand in front of you and let you ask questions? "
Liang Lidong waved his hand: "No, since the necromancer has already had some relationship with your Althea family, it would not be good for me to rely on your power again. It would be easy to scare the snake, I will use my own method to investigate, you don't have to worry. "
Then the two broke up unhappy. After leaving the Mugunghua family cemetery, Joan of Arc was still flying in the air on guard. He said to his magic pet through the spiritual channel: "You are now monitoring the actions of the Temple of Life throughout the day. If you find anything abnormal, tell me."
Joan of Arc replied: "Aren't we looking for the Necromancer now? Why did you suddenly start monitoring the Temple of Life again?"
"I suspect that the Temple of Life has an indirect relationship with the Necromancer." Liang Lidong said.
"This is unlikely. Life and undead are two extremes. It would be nice if they didn't kill each other if they met. How could it be related?"
Liang Lidong snorted coldly: "It would be impossible if it was the goddess of life in the past, but now the goddess of life is Rose the Spider Queen... If this female cousin can't do anything, she and her followers will naturally be no better. And this The Necromancer is obviously coming for me. The only forces that have friction with me now are the City Lord's Mansion and the Temple of Life. Now that we have joined forces with the City Lord, it is unlikely that he will use this method to cause trouble for me. In this way , the Temple of Life is highly suspicious."
"Okay, I'll go over now and I won't let go of any clues."
Joan of Arc made a clear cry in the air, and then flew to the location of the Temple of Life. Liang Lidong returned to the castle. As soon as he stepped onto the bridge of the castle, a soldier rushed over and said to him respectfully: "Your Majesty the Red Priest, the city lord invites you."
In the study room on the second floor, Liang Lidong pushed the door open and found the city lord Uther and the city lord's wife sitting inside, their expressions a little solemn.
Seeing Liang Lidong, Uther stood up, with a look of exhaustion on his face: "Your Excellency Beta, Sophia has already told me about the Necromancer, and now we have received some bad news. , in the cemetery on the northern outskirts of the city, there were many empty tombs. There was a cave in front of each empty tomb, and the surrounding soil was very fresh. This is what happened in the past two days. This situation made me feel that things seemed to be going bad. With the development of the world, I wonder what method you have to deal with the Necromancer now."
"The Necromancers are very powerful, but they are not without their weaknesses." Liang Lidong sat down and said, "The most powerful thing about the Necromancers is the Skeleton Sea. We can't defeat the Skeleton Sea, but we can prevent the Skeleton Sea in advance. formation. If we cannot find the hiding place of the Necromancer, then we will cut off his source of combat power. City Lord, go buy pure salt and have people sprinkle the salt on all the graves. This can effectively suppress the darkness. The activity of the elements makes it very laborious for him to summon skeletons."
"Pure salt! How much is needed?" the city lord asked.
Liang Lidong replied: "Each tombstone is at least fifty grams. How many tombstones are there in Dongfeng City?"
The city lord's wife calculated it, and then took a breath of air. Her snow-capped mountains became taller and taller: "This requires about two tons, which is not a small amount."
In this world, due to limited refining technology, people generally eat coarse salt that contains a lot of impurities. However, the amount of snow-white pure salt is not much, and the price is more than six times that of coarse salt. It needs to be collected at once. About two tons of pure salt, this is not an easy thing even for the city lord's residence.
"Coarse salt also has an effect, but it is not as effective as pure salt." Liang Lidong said slowly.
Uther slapped the table hard: "Then coarse salt. We don't want to completely cut off the source of the Necromancer's combat power, but if we can suppress the number of his skeleton sea, we may not have no chance of winning."
After less than three seconds of confusion, Liang Lidong understood that the city lord's residence was almost out of funds. Thinking about it, a lot of things have happened recently, and almost all of them were financed by the city lord. Although the Longman family also had some background, they couldn't afford to spend such a large amount of money.
The city lord was impatient. After deciding the matter, he immediately left the study. Liang Lidong was about to leave when the city lord's wife stopped him.
"Your Excellency Beta, this matter is too troublesome. Our Langman family may not be able to handle it. Do you have any good ideas?"
Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment: "You can ask the local nobles to help. Facing the threat of the Necromancer, they can't stay away."
"It's strange that those fly-by-nighters are so reluctant to do anything." The city lord's wife said with full sarcasm on her charming face: "It's good that they pounce on them like dogs, so that they suffer some losses, and everyone goes hard. Back off.”
"Actually, it's not difficult." Liang Lidong smiled and said, "Gather them together, tell them about the Necromancer, and tell them that you have established a large magic circle on the mountain. If Dongfeng City is captured, When the castle is destroyed, you can take the nobles who contributed money to take refuge in the magic circle fortress on the mountain. Those who do not contribute will not be treated like this. You can arrange a few more people to mix in and help you heat up the atmosphere. For your own Xiao Ming, I don’t believe that no one is willing to pay for someone else!”
The eyes of the city lord's wife suddenly lit up: "Good idea, but what does 'trust' mean?"
