Chapter 313: Language! (Part 2)

On the back of the hill at the end of Forest Hill Park, in a very hidden narrow cave, Schiller bent down and got in through the somewhat narrow entrance of the cave, and suddenly the inside became clear.

It was a naturally formed cave located at the foot of the mountain, but the natural appearance inside had been somewhat modified at this time. There were tool tables and shelves on the left hand side, and some messy instruments on the right hand side. A light bulb was hung on this small On the top of the cave, there are spotlights for lighting.

Peter, who was walking in front, took off his hood and introduced to a few people: "I don't know when it started, but I had this idea. I thought it would be good to find a cave as my base. This is indeed a good place, close to me. It’s not far from home, so I can change clothes at any time, and it’s very hidden.”

"Indeed." Steve nodded. He looked up and looked around the cave and said, "But I think you need to strengthen the structure here. The mountains in New York are not that strong."

"That's the next plan." Peter said as he helped Steve subdue the black sleeping bag he was dragging. The sleeping bag was still struggling, and black smoke was coming out from time to time.

Strange stood behind a few people with his hands on his hips, staring at the sleeping bag and said, "This thing is a bit too weak."

"It doesn't seem to be born for fighting." Steve threw the sleeping bag to the ground, then frowned and said, "Just now, Peter and I didn't even use 30% of our strength, and its arm was broken."

Steve unzipped the sleeping bag, and inside was a skeleton covered in black gas. Steve pressed the skeleton's neck with one hand, grabbed one of his ribs with the other, and pulled it. There was a crisp sound when it was broken, and Peter shuddered.

After Strange and Schiller rushed to the place where Peter found the skeleton, Steve went down to help Peter. The two subdued the skeleton together, while Strange opened a portal and returned. I went to Karma Taj and brought out a book related to necromancy.

Schiller also walked over and studied the contents of the book with Strange. Facing an unfamiliar field, none of the four people had done much research. Schiller and Strange chose to start with theory, while Steve and Peter's plan was to proceed directly to the experiment.

Schiller discovered that the book in Strange's hand recorded many cases of necromancers. The magicians of Karma Taj stopped many such evil necromancers who wanted to harm the village and the country. actions in the towns and devised a method of combating them.

Schiller read for a while and then joined the experimental group. He looked at the skeleton and said: "Let me see... an adult female, about 50 years old, with a history of childbirth. The cause of death should be abdominal trauma. It is initially suspected to be a car accident." , the dominant hand is the right hand, and he should have been engaged in light manual labor before, maybe a cleaner, or a kitchen assistant..."

Steve opened his mouth. He really wanted to ask Schiller how he made the decision, but at this time, the atmosphere in the lonely cave was already weird enough, and there was no need for a few more horror stories to set off the atmosphere.

"We must collect more information about the dead as samples to determine what the Necromancer's goal is. Since Peter encountered skeletons twice in Forest Hill Cemetery, what is the next target of this mysterious Necromancer? It may still be here, you may need to stay here..." Schiller concluded.

"No problem, the supplies in this base are quite sufficient. Even if they are not enough, I can still buy them. The only thing that worries me is that my uncle and aunt live nearby. My aunt was scared by the will-o'-the-wisp last time... ..." Peter said hesitantly.

The last thing he wanted to see was that his family members were injured. Steve squatted on the ground, turned to look at Peter who was also squatting and said: "So, you only need to guard the source of the danger, and there will be no one nearby. The second cemetery asked him to engage in these supernatural events.”

So, Steve and Peter stayed in the base and continued to guard the Necromancer who might attack again, while Schiller and Strange returned to Arkham Sanitarium. The two came out of the portal, and Schiller turned his head. Ask Strange: "What do you think?"

"I'm afraid this matter is more troublesome than imagined." Strange's face was a little serious. He said: "First of all, I can confirm that this power itself has necromantic properties. In other words, the source of the power must be related to Death related."

"Once you get involved with this concept, it will become particularly difficult. More importantly, I just tried to use the power of white magic to dispel this power of death, but maybe my time to learn magic is too short... "

Strange looked at his hand, and a ray of white light suddenly appeared in his hand. He said: "This is the 'wrath of white magic' most commonly used by novice mages. It comes from the ancient star spirits on the edge of the eternal ruins. This kind of The price you need to pay for power is very small, almost negligible, but it is also relatively weak, but the advantage is that it is easier to control..."

"When I used this power to dispel the dark power, I found that it didn't work at all, so I changed to another power..."

A brighter white light appeared in Strange's hand, surrounded by some flying leaves. He said: "This is the light power of the World Tree that is closer to us, although I don't know why this power is stronger than usual. Weaker, the light power of the World Tree, which represents vitality and rebirth, should be able to dispel the power of darkness and death..."

"But it didn't work out, right?"

"Yes, this means that the status of this power is not low, and it is not something that a novice wizard can deal with. Although I inherited some of the white magic power from Vishanti from my teacher Ancient One, I did not use it easily."

Strange frowned, he sat on the sofa and said: "Once two forces with opposite properties but equally powerful collide, it may cause very large fluctuations. Peter and Steve have no magic resistance and may not be able to withstand the impact."

"Then what do you plan to do..."

"Well, after all, I am the heir of the Supreme Sorcerer. I can't watch an unknown force messing around in my territory and do nothing. I think we have to go to the cemetery again, find another experiment, and then find a place safe enough to do the experiment..."

Schiller thought about it, but still did not refute Strange's use of the word "we".

He turned his head to look at the umbrella next to his desk. This was the new umbrella he brought from the DC world.

In order to get a powerful umbrella that will not be damaged and does not need to be replaced, Schiller felt that he had to make the cursed fetus trapped in the umbrella stronger so that it could protect his umbrella.

Although he did not know the exact relationship between dark death and curse, it sounded like their attributes were very similar and might be able to merge.

So Schiller went to Forest Hill Cemetery again with Strange. Strange enchanted a compass, and they followed the direction of the compass to find a place with the most concentrated dark energy.

The environment of cemeteries in the United States is good, and so is Forest Hill Cemetery. It is part of Forest Hill Park. On weekends or holidays, many people even come to the cemetery for a walk or rest on the lawn, but the enchanted compass led the two to gradually leave the cemetery and walk deeper into the forest.

"This is not surprising. The necromancer also needs a hiding place. He can't build a house in the park, so he should be hiding in the forest." Strange speculated.

After saying that, he looked back at the umbrella in Schiller's hand and asked in confusion: "The snow has stopped, what are you doing with the umbrella?"

Schiller used the umbrella to push away the weeds around him, and the road was unobstructed, but Strange could only move his steps, letting the weeds scratch his expensive trouser legs and leather shoes. Schiller opened his hands to him, Strange curled his lips, turned around and continued to move forward.

"Although he may be hiding in the forest, don't you think we are walking a little too far?" After walking for about 20 minutes, Schiller stopped Strange and said.

"This should be far beyond the casting distance of your wizards, right? He can't hide in such a far forest and cast a spell on the cemetery."

"I think it's very close." Strange raised the enchanted compass in his hand, and Schiller saw that the compass needle was shaking constantly, as if affected by an invisible mysterious force.

Suddenly, the pointer stopped with a click. Schiller and Strange turned their heads to look in that direction. There was a dense forest there. The dense leaves blocked all the light in the dark night, making it difficult to see what was behind.

Strange's fingers glowed faintly. He wiped his eyes with a gleam of light, and his eyes became vertical like a beast. Obviously, he borrowed the power of night vision from some mysterious existence incarnated by beasts.

Schiller gave up vision, and the invisible gray fog factor drifted away. The whole world became an extremely clear three-dimensional model in his mind, which was much more accurate than what he saw with his eyes.

Strange and Schiller continued to walk into the woods, but after leaving the trail, it became a little difficult to move forward. The two walked for more than ten minutes for a short distance.

After they had completely entered the forest, Strange, who had walked in first, let out a cry of surprise. Schiller bent down to avoid the branches above his head. When he walked in, he saw a piece of scorched land in the middle of the forest surrounded by tall trees. There was a special mark left there, a bit like a miniature magic circle.

Strange stopped at the edge of the land and did not rush forward. Under Schiller's gaze, he slowly reached into his pocket and took out... his cell phone.

"Hello, Sanctum Sanctorum? Yes, it's me, Stephen. I have a diagram here. It seems to be left by a demon who controls the power of death and darkness. Broadcast it to the demon network in the general frequency band to see if anyone knows who left it?"

loubiqu.

The operator on the other end quickly replied: "The picture has been received, the cosmic signal has been sent, and there is no response at present. It is estimated that it may take about ten minutes to wait..."

After Strange hung up the phone, he turned around and showed Schiller proudly: "It can't be just us who help them, right?"

"Part of the power intercepted by the last Nar invasion was poured into the magic circle underground in the Sanctum Sanctorum by Ancient One. This magic circle can send magic broadcasts to the universe. The principle is similar to human broadcasts, but magic is more convenient. We don't need to use any signal towers or base stations..."

"So far, this function has only been used to convene demons for meetings or to resolve neighborhood disputes, but Nick told me that he intends to develop an entertainment radio program for the entire universe. He has found several directors and screenwriters with proven moral standards in prison, and it will be put on the agenda soon..."
