Chapter 4 Falling into a Trap
How could there be a undead clan underground in the city lord’s mansion? What is the identity of that skull? What is their relationship with Bannon?
Dai Lin was trembling slightly. If Dai Lin was just trying to be reckless with his passion at the beginning, he was starting to be a little scared now.
He found that he seemed to have accidentally crashed into a big game. The biggest problem now is that Dailin has not learned any aggressive skills so far.
This may be because the Tree of Wisdom does not teach it on purpose, or it may be because the Tree of Wisdom itself lacks attack skills.
When he was a child, Dai Lin climbed a tree to dig bird eggs and trampled on its branches and leaves a lot, but he never saw him punishing himself. In terms of fighting or fighting back, the Tree of Wisdom is expert.
In short, after finding this point, he could not deal with the following things alone.
He needs to find allies.
Who may be an ally in the huge Eagle Strike City?
Even the Lord of One City is a member of the undead, and he may even be the undead. What about the officials and generals under his command? I hope they will be innocent?
Dai Lin couldn't believe it.
After thinking about it, his allies could only be people who also studied the natural law system. Only the natural mages could never compromise with the undead.
Just as Dai Lin walked back while thinking about countermeasures, the picture from the rush was suddenly changed.
The skull in a luxurious outfit was getting closer and closer to the girl. Nearly half of the scenes coming from the rush was occupied by the two empty eyes and the ghost fire in the eyes.
Then the picture rotated and turned upside down. When the picture settled, the head hairpin was already in the skull's hand. Its long skinny fingers were drawing circles to the head hairpin. Wherever the fingers passed, there were a few gray halos in the air...
Dai Lin felt a warning in her heart, and she immediately cut off the connection of the rush. She turned around and saw a dead light rising from the city lord's mansion, which rose into the air and became annihilated into a cloud of gray fog.
Dai Lin was scared and sweated.

Every power has its gods and temples. Regardless of whether this god exists or not, those who study this magic will believe in it.
The state religion in the Kingdom of Ryanhard is the Church of Light, so the church of the Church of Light opens every city in the country, and its forces touch every town. For example, the Orphanage of the Holy Light was run by Pastor Fernandi.
Other churches are not as beautiful as that.
Especially the temple of nature.
This is not only because humans with natural bloodline talents are relatively rare, but also because of the mention of natural spells, it is also impossible to avoid the elves that ruled the supercontinent for tens of thousands of years in ancient times. The connection between elves and natural law systems is so deep that even the image of the God of Nature is a beautiful female elf - and humans have always been wary of elves.
As the capital of a province, Eagle Strike Fort has only one natural temple in its territory, and it is located remotely and has few visitors.
It was also the first time Dai Lin came to this place.
The architectural lines of the Natural Temple are simple and elegant, full of the style of classical architecture of the Elves.
Dai Lin walked into the temple and looked carefully at the decorations inside the temple. On both sides of the temple, there were two long rows of wooden cabinets, and I didn’t know what was inside.
The deepest part of the temple is a big tree, with a simple and beautiful face carved in the center of the tree. Surrounded by wooden niches, there are various sacrificial supplies.
Seeing the big tree, Dai Lin immediately thought of the ancient tree of the orphanage. So he tried to communicate with it by "listening to nature".
Dai Lin didn't expect this tree to be a wise creature. But the Nature Mage can listen to the emotions of all things, which is also one of the fun of being a Nature Mage.
But when Dai Lin performed "listening to nature", she was shocked to find...
Everything is silent!
It is not just this sacred tree. The entire temple built in the deep forest and its surrounding area within a hundred meters - it is all silent as if dead.
Dai Lin swallowed. When he entered the door, there were clearly dense forests around him. If they were normal living trees, Dai Lin should have heard their emotions!
So these trees... are not living trees!
Dai Lin turned around and left!
"This gentleman finally came, why did he leave so soon?"
Just as Dai Lin turned around and was about to leave, a kind voice suddenly came from behind!
Dai Lin turned around and saw a white-haired old man wearing a green "Natural God's Robe" walking out of the small door behind the temple and asked him with a friendly look on his face.
——I’m afraid this is not a living person!
Although Dai Lin’s “listening to nature” cannot communicate directly with humans, people’s emotional fluctuations can also be heard. This old man listened to the past and was calm, just like the electrocardiogram of the deceased.
But strangely, he did not have the aura of the necromancer on his body, but simply looked like a living but soulless walking corpse.
It seems that if the Necromancer wants to pretend, he can avoid being discovered by the Nature Mage!
Dai Lin was extremely alert and shouted, "This small dilapidated temple is fine if you don't look at it." He kept walking out of his feet.
But just as he was about to walk out of the temple gate, the door creaked and closed.
The entire temple fell into darkness.
"Why don't you sit down and chat with me?" said the white-haired old man.
"I'll flirt with your sister!" Dai Lin ignored the old man's noise reduction and kicked the door. The door didn't move at all.
"Young man, it's not good to destroy public property." The old man with a white hair smiled.
The long cabinets on both sides creaked, as if something was struggling to come out of it.
Dai Lin pushed it twice but didn't open the door. He suddenly remembered that Dashu once said that life and death energy were neutralized with each other, so he hurriedly put his hands on the door. Regardless of whether it was applicable or not, he directly used his "natural touch" to the door.
There was a loud "boom" sound!
The explosion caused by the violent energy neutralization reaction broke Dai Lin's palm into blood, but the door that was closed just now also made a small crack.
Dai Lin endured the pain, held his palm and forced himself to open the temple door, and rushed out.
But the sunlight that I thought was not present.
The sky was as dark as if the whole place was filled with a brown glass bottle. The green grass under my feet also revealed its original appearance: dark, dry, and withered.
Dai Lin looked around and saw that the vibrant forest I just saw were all charred dead trees! Above the withered treetops, there were vague bodies wearing natural gods robes hanging on the surrounding trees, shaking slightly in the mountain breeze.
No matter how far away, there seemed to be someone shouting in pain, which made people feel shaken.
The old man walked out of the temple, and his face was no longer the kind old man he had just now, but a skull wrapped in with yellow human skin.
"Little guy, why are you anxious? Old man, I have been staying in this place for a long time. Will you die if you don't talk to me?" Skull said with a quack smile.
Behind him, rotten corpses dragged their broken bodies and came out of the temple one after another.
Dai Lin really regrets it so much now.
No matter who discovers the relationship between the city lord and the necromancer, the first person who comes to mind must be the natural temple here.
Of course, the necromancers can think of it too!
Isn't it just a trap?
It is definitely impossible to beat him. So Dai Lin turned around and ran away without saying a word.
The skull was a little surprised when he ran so resolutely. He stretched out a long and thin finger and shook it gently.
Countless bone hands suddenly stretched out from the entire ground and grabbed them around frantically. These bone hands were not strong, and Dai Lin could stomp the bones by stomping them.
But if Dai Lin stepped on the ground, if Dai Lin stepped on it all the way, he would be a big fuck!
Wait! Dai Lin had a sudden inspiration:
He remembered a skill he learned from Dashu two days ago...
While running, Dai Lin stepped on the hand that grabbed his bones. His pants were quickly scratched and his thighs were bleeding. The hand that was watered by blood quickly grabbed the hand of the bones even faster.

Samuel was very satisfied with Dailin's embarrassment.
As one of the veterans and advanced combat forces of the "(Dead) Secretariat", Samuel and "Pelvic Envoy" Bannon have always looked at each other inconspicuously.
The overall situation he presided over five years ago failed. After Bannon's turn to take power, the first thing he did was to send him here to guard the arrested fish.
Although he was not happy, he still came to this ghost place under the pressure of the association. He killed all the clergy in the temple and sarcastically hung them all on the tree. Then he used the "Lightless Cover" to turn this radius into an absolute death place where you can't go, and finally used illusion to turn everything here into its original appearance.
He was like a huge and cruel spider, quietly lying in the depths of the temple, devouring all the natural mages who accidentally came here to worship.
This guard lasted for more than three months. After killing more than a dozen natural mages who came to visit regularly, he had no prey to visit for a month.
Dai Lin is his first prey in the past month.
Samuel saw that the little mage in the natural system in front of him was very good, but his desire to survive was very strong. The efforts and despair of the prey before his death always made him feel very comfortable.
The undead cannot eat, drink, have no pain, and cannot enjoy human ethics - Samuel has no other hobbies except torture the enemy.
So he was not in a hurry to kill the other party, but instead used the "Bone Land" next to the natural mage again and again, making the bone hands around him more and more densely.
In Samuel's eyes, Dailin is a little fly that falls into a spider web, and the more you struggle, the more you fall, the more you die.
Finally, the little mage stopped running. He leaned on a dead tree panting, cleared the bone hands in front of him and around him with a skill that seemed to have to be touched by his hands to take effect, and then stood tremblingly and looked at him angrily.
It seems that he finally understood his fate and gave up resisting.
Now, it's time to taste the most beautiful fruit.
Samuel walked slowly towards Dailin step by step, and the ten "Apocalypse Corpse" he summoned also surrounded Dailin and got closer step by step.
"Give me a little surprise at the end, I'm a little bit." Samuel said jokingly.
Or at this moment, a cold light shot from outside the skeleton's encirclement and shot towards Samuel's eye sockets! The little green light on the arrow was clearly pure life energy!
There are others?!
Ambushed in me?
Samuel was surprised.
