It was no surprise to Goron that the leader of the Survey Corps, General Rena Catherine, was able to see through his greatest secret at a glance.

As the common enemy of all living beings on the Dota Continent, it has a history of hostility for nearly 10,000 years, and a lot of information about the Scourge Legion is no longer a secret, even civilians are familiar with it.

In the Scourge Legion composed of a variety of undead, in addition to the skeleton soldiers and zombie soldiers who are completely cannon fodder and do not even have basic intelligence, there are also ghouls, ghosts, aggregate corpses and other undead monsters with low-level intelligence and high combat effectiveness, as well as high-level undead species with the highest level of intelligence, among which the most familiar is the famous "blood clan", a race that feeds on blood and is active in many stories, which is commonly known as vampires by humans. and specialized in death magic, and eventually transformed himself into a "corpse witch", an abominable and fearful necromancer. Of course, there are also the bone dragons, ghost dragons, and blood dragons that stand at the apex of all undead creatures in legends, but the most feared undead species in the Scourges are not the undead dragons who can compete with sixth-order or even seventh-order creatures in these legends, but are willing to "fall", sign a soul contract with "Allah" Dellmond, and transform into special necromantic creatures through humans, that is, "necromantic knights".

Necro Knights are not the most powerful undead, not only are their strength far inferior to the undead dragons, but their wisdom and knowledge are not comparable to those of the archmages who are archmages before and after death, and they are not even necessarily stronger than the blood clan that is known as the nobles of the undead, but the Necro Knight has an ability that no undead person possesses. That is "Concealment", and the Necro Knight is the only undead creature that can perfectly hide in the human world without being discovered its true identity.

The empire allowed the existence of necromancers. It is precisely because the necromancer is the only human mage who may be able to detect the existence of the necromantic knight, after all, compared to the necromancer who will leave human society once the transformation is completed, the threat posed by the necromancer is obviously greater.

Even so, it is difficult to find the Necro Knights hidden in the human world, with many limitations.

For many years, the Empire has invested enormous resources to find an ideal way to identify the Necro Knight. But they all undoubtedly failed, and the Supreme Commander of the Survey Corps, General Rena Catherine, who now stood before Goron's eyes, was the best example. That's right, this outstanding female general from a civilian background is a necromantic knight, and at first Goron could not fully determine her identity. However, on the Dota Continent, it is possible to use the unique skill of memory exchange. Nothing but the famous Necro Knight.

"Memory Exchange" is a magical magic that can forcibly input one's deepest memories into others, and at the same time, the caster can also read the most important memories of the other party, which can be said to be the most valuable ability for the Necromantic Knight, who often serves the Scourges as "spies", especially when used for torture and when there is no need to leave a "living mouth".

"Your memories are really interesting. The mother is a giant demon, and she also has a blood relative of a xenomorph two-headed ogre, and even a wandering circus with several fifth-order war king-level powerhouses, and even a casual clown, and miscellaneous servants are all third-order and fourth-order elite masters, I really didn't expect it. I'm a little thrilled that this remote rural harbor town can surprise me, and it seems that I need to report it to that adult."

"What are you going to do with me?" asked Goron quietly, although he knew that in all the stories he had heard, only the person he was sure to kill would be given the ability to "exchange memories" by the Necroknight, after all, whether it was a "natural disaster" or a "death knight", the consequences of revealing his identity were absolutely unimaginable. From these perspectives, Goron was mentally and physically prepared for the worst that would happen next, and although the opponent was too strong, he was not prepared to sit idly by.

"It's really hard for me," Rena crossed her arms and looked at Goron with a slight frown, "Actually, from the beginning when I suspected that you were aware of something, I was going to solve you permanently, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you to this important place and showed you my precious memories, but after knowing your identity, your experience, and your intentions, I began to feel that if I killed you here, it might be a loss." ”

Goron's heart moved, and his mind recalled the uncomfortable fragments of Sister Rena's memories, and said, "Your purpose is to take revenge on the Marquis of Brahadley and all those who have hurt your sister, right?" If that's what you're for, maybe there's no reason for hostility between us, you've seen my memories, and I just want to rescue my mother and Hakulili now, and besides, I also want to find out the secret behind my noble father, and see, it doesn't conflict with you at all, and my real body is an ogre, although not as sensitive as your identity, but it's also a secret that can never be exposed, so it's impossible for me to take the initiative to reveal your identity. ”

"However, sometimes even if you unconsciously betray me, you may accidentally reveal my secret, isn't there a saying on the Dota continent, once a secret is known to others, it is no longer a secret"

Looking at Rena, whose killing intent was gradually thickening in her eyes, Goron's heart was crossed, and he shouted loudly: "What if I can help you realize your wish and complete your revenge?"

"It's really funny, I don't think that a little ogre who has only dissolved the first-order seal and even the tribe has been wiped out can help me?" Although he said so, the killing intent condensed in the necromantic knight Rena did dissipate a little, and Goron firmly seized this opportunity and continued: "Since you have read my memory, then you should also know my plan, my enemy is the fairy tale circus, and now you should also know that it will not be easier to deal with them than to deal with an imperial marquis." So I'm going to keep being strong until I can defeat them, and I'll admit I'm still very weak. But just a few days ago, I was a waste that even human youth might not be able to win, so let's see, my growth rate should be reasonable, and I can now say that I have some control over Lao Cai, and I also control the trading network of goblin merchants, which means that it won't be long before long. In all likelihood, I have a lot of wealth, and I'm even planning to build an army, I believe. If we cooperate, it will be beneficial to you and to me. ”

To survive from the Necro Knight. Goron has thrown out all his capital. At this time, any hesitation and reservation is an act of death, and only when Rena is fully aware of her true value will Goron have a chance to survive.

"Moreover, I seem to have a little aristocratic blood, my father, and it is likely that he is related to the Huwen family in the imperial capital, although I don't know anything about this at the moment, but in the future, this identity may be able to help you. Your apparent identity is, after all, just a civilian. In an empire where blood reigns, there are many things that commoners cannot do. You should know that, too."

At this point, Goron's hand has all been played, and now it is up to the necromantic lady to make the final decision.

It seemed like a long, long time, and it seemed like it was less than a few minutes, and just when Goron had already made plans for the worst and was planning whether to make the first move, Rena finally raised her head and asked Goron an inexplicable question.

"What do you think of these scars on my body?"

Goron was stunned for a moment, but he replied directly without thinking about it: "I think these scars are extremely ugly."

The Necromantic Knight's brows furrowed deeply, and the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to be close to freezing, no, this is not an illusion, the surrounding walls, there is indeed a layer of frost, in the sequence of the Scourge, the Lich holds the secret of "decay", the blood clan has the power of "blood", and the Necromantic Knight is the spokesperson of "Frost".

Goron's teeth began to fight, and every breath could bring out a white mist, and the shape was obviously developing in the bad direction, but Goron still gritted his teeth and continued: "Every scar on your body is the pain felt by your loved ones, but no matter how deep and long these scars are, no matter how hard you attack yourself, it is not worth mentioning compared to the pain suffered by your loved ones. Like you, the reason why my tribe will be destroyed, why my people will be slaughtered, why my closest relatives will be enslaved and imprisoned, it is because because of my stupidity, my arrogance, my naivety, when I see the scars on your body, I will think of the sins I have on my body, so these scars on your body seem to me to be like myself, ugly, I want to kill this bastard in the most painful way"

These words were held in his heart and not unhappy, since that night, this resentment, this hatred has been held in Golon's heart, but he has no way to vent it, for the necromantic knight in front of him who knows a lot of his secrets, Goron can't hide his disguise at all, and he can't flatter in order to please women.

But he seemed to be doing the right thing

As if it had never happened, even Goron's ogre physique could not resist the chill of the bones fading like a tide, General Rena's exposed skin gradually became pale, a bluish pale belonging to the deceased, her hair became dull and stiff, but her eyes were dark red, and her lips and eyelids were even more dark purple, but the ugly scars that crisscrossed before, maybe because of the special physique of the Necromantic Knight, completely disappeared Rena, who showed her true posture? Catherine, looking at Goron, smiled slightly: "It seems that the two of us are unexpectedly very similar in terms of hating and hating themselves, well, I believe you, because a person who even hates himself will not betray another person who hates himself, I am willing to pay this risk for you, but in the same way, I also hope that the promise you made before will come true"

While Goron was talking to the Necro Knights, outside the Survey Corps' barracks, several slightly younger, but more agile figures were moving rapidly (to be continued......
