Chapter 597 A Chinese Ghost Story
The magic of Noggenfogger's Elixir lies in its ability to randomly grant the person who drinks it a strange and special effect...
The effects include, but are not limited to, shrinking the body continuously, or transforming into a standard skeletal Creeper—oh no, it's a temporary form of skeletal appearance with full consciousness...
Another amazing ability is that it can float and swim in the air... an anti-gravity form that can prevent people from falling to their deaths.
It sounds similar to many transforming props.
Lorraine once wore the apprentice's disguise hat, ate the delicious wind serpent, and used the Deception Orb.
In comparison, Noggenfogger's potion is more magical and precious.
A pouty Lilith swam through the air, easily gliding down several levels of cliff right before Lorraine and the others' eyes... Lorraine was surprised and couldn't help but worry.
There are many dangers that Lilith cannot see, including the mutated lava slime monster that was just lurking beneath the surface of the lava lake.
Lorraine watched helplessly as his companion drifted away, a pang of regret creeping into his heart for having forgotten about the girl. The fairy-like girl floated away; her incredible anti-gravity abilities were thanks to the effects of the Noggenfogger potion, which Lorraine had previously disdained...
Lorraine wasn't sure how long the effects of that potion would last, but her gut feeling was that leaving Lilith alone in the unknown territory ahead would be dangerous.
Within this small, forbidden canyon, elemental fluctuations are evident. Above the undercurrents, thunderclouds surge, and ahead lies not only a dense network of lightning but also the potential presence of biological activity... Beyond the forbidden area of this secret realm, encounters with living creatures and wild beasts are inevitable...
Otherwise, we wouldn't have seen those charred corpses.
"Charge! Go and get her!"
"Yes."
At the command, Lorraine's three loyal subordinates took the lead, pointing their weapons at the enemy. The remaining undead army, as if injected with adrenaline, roared and charged down the cliff steps like demonic soldiers.
Some shattered upon impact due to their immense height. Seeing this, the Death Knight swung his black sword, and his minions immediately began to coalesce, rising to their feet and continuing their charge...
Reviving the Flame Skeleton minion only consumes the Death Knight's Dark Soul mana...
Unlike his previous cautious exploration, Lorraine was now preoccupied. Judging by the direction Lilith had landed, without a second thought, he leaped around like a night demon, teleporting to any height he could reach...
From a distance, one can see a massive army of the dead rushing down from the giant stone pyramid, seemingly intent on killing all the living.
In truth, they were merely following their master's orders to protect the capricious spirit priestess Lilith...
Lilith could easily see all of this from the air. She understood that the effects of Noggenfogger's potion were unstable, especially the levitation effect, which lasted only about a minute. A one-minute levitation effect was different from a priest's levitation spell or a mage's slow fall spell.
This potion truly eliminates gravity, creating the amazing effect of making people float freely like in a spaceship.
Both levitation and slow fall are spells that require casting materials. Levitation allows one to float like a bubble, as if one's feet are on the wind. Slow fall is an arcane spell that replaces the caster's body with a light feather. Both can slow down the falling speed and prevent death or injury from falling.
However, the fact that the Noggenfogger potion, a miraculous drug that allows people to swim in the air, is so valuable speaks volumes about its excellent and magical effects.
The goblin engineer's masterpiece, transformed into an alchemist's masterpiece, is so intricate that even Marin and Noggenfogger themselves probably couldn't explain it. Goblins always seem to concoct some strange and unusual things...
A mixture of witchcraft and technology, alchemy and magic...
Lilith was fuming. She didn't turn around and let Lorraine chase her on the ground.
"Who told that guy to want to abandon me?"
......
Swimming while gliding through the air is so cool.
You can also briefly admire the entire view of the underground fissures and deep valleys... The terrain here is complex and can only be clearly seen from the air.
Although it's described as being in the air, it's actually underground. The deep valley is so wide and deep that water flows and washes over it, while molten lava sinks into the cliffs and protrusions. It seems as if the earth itself has been torn apart by a tremendous force of nature.
It seemed to be a destructive force of the earth, beyond human comprehension.
Similar to Ragefire Canyon, this place seems to connect to the Earth's core lava... The difference is, here there is greenery, water, uneven terrain, wind, and rain...
Lava waterfalls, like the blood of the mountains, dot the ancient, pyramid-shaped forbidden area surrounding the stepped altar...
Looking up, I saw that there were still low-lying, flat areas on the other side. The terrain on either side of the crevice seemed quite different. The exit was blocked, but judging by the direction, it appeared that a winding path could be followed along the rock face to reach the top of the crevice...
Overjoyed, Lilith also wanted to stretch her legs, turn around, and successfully crawl out of here to see if it was indeed a hidden crevice in the barren land.
In my memory, barren lands don't seem to have such forbidden areas.
......
The Lorraine team, which had just swarmed like monkeys to Lilith's base, looked up to find their little ancestor had turned around in mid-air and run to the other side of the mountainside steps. Going down the mountain was easy, but going up was difficult.
Lilith can roam freely in the air, changing course and direction at any time, which makes life miserable for her pursuers underground.
Between the two fissures lies a bottomless abyss and a complex and ever-changing magical realm of stone steps.
Judging from its appearance, it wasn't the size of a Titan. A deep abyss and underground river lay below, impossible for any giant to cross. The stairway to godhood, which only giants could climb, separated the sacred grounds of mortal races.
......
"Oh my god, Lilith, what are you doing...?"
Before Lorraine could catch her breath, Lilith glided through the air toward the thundercloud region that Lorraine feared.
There were obvious signs of strong lightning element fluctuations there, and dark clouds hung in the air, forming a barrier that blocked the view on the other side.
There might be some danger over there.
Lilith, however, seemed to have discovered some treasure, and struggled to kick her slender, bony legs in the air...
Cricket pupae...
She drifted away again...like a fairy...like a ghost.
"Lilith!"
Lorraine let out a ghostly cry in a voice that seemed to be nonexistent, and Lilith's name echoed between the cracks in the canyon. Thunderclouds, as if responding to Lorraine, began to gather towards the undead girl...
The person in question, however, remained haughty and didn't even glance at Lorraine...thus ignoring the strange dark cloud looming overhead.
Terrified, Lorraine could only shout Lilith's name again.
But Lilith, caught up in her princess syndrome, ignored her completely. She wanted to leave, to leave Lorraine. Back on the surface, Lilith was confident she could find her way back to the city; she wasn't going to play with that big idiot anymore.
No idea...
Ungrateful...
Disrespectful to people.
I'm going to find my brother, I'm going to find my guildmates from the Deathwhisperers, so we can hunt for treasure and do quests together.
Let this arrogant guy eat dirt on the ground!
snort!
......
"If only I had a flying mount..."
Having exhausted all other options, Lorraine suddenly thought of this...
None of the eleven Death Lords possessed a flying mount. The only one who seemed to have this ability, the headless knight, inexplicably rode a hellish warhorse towards the Blood Moon.
The last Death Knight has been lost.
The twelve main palaces of Lorraine were never fully realized...
He really didn't know if this was his godfather's intentional arrangement.
......
Mount!
Frostwolf!
Frost Dragon?
Frostwolf was Lorraine's regret. He went to Alterac Valley to find the Frostwolf Clan in order to find a ghost wolf, a soulmate that was said to be available only to official members of the Frostwolf Clan.
That thing is a special, spirit-like creature awarded to high-ranking officers or honorary warriors of the tribe...
After all that work, I'm wanted by Undercity...
Frost dragons are flying creatures; Lorraine had seen the giant dragon eagle beneath the feet of the Blood Elf's chief archmage, and he himself had nearly died from an attack by a frost dragon...
What exactly happened during the three days they disappeared?
The teacher saved him, but at what cost? Why did the Eye of Ice detach from the right rune eye and move to the left eye?
The ice dragon-shaped magic mark etched under the left eye...
Until the teacher wakes up, no one can say for sure...
"Oh, right, teacher..."
