Chapter Ninety-Five: A New Journey (5) Happy Codewords, Kneel and beg for subscription~
To be honest, Qiu was not strong among the enchantresses at the beginning, and he could only say that his strength was average, and he could simply say that he was a little behind. This can be well demonstrated by the fact that after Dangqiu's disappearance, Yuri Ellie did not look for her, but directly led the remaining enchantress to retreat. The sadder thing for Cho is that the other Enchantresses were all abandoned by Yuri Ellie because they died in battle, and she never saw Cho's body, and she didn't even hear from the other Enchantresses that Cho had been killed or not. Perhaps, this is what has always been uncomfortable for her.
Although, since becoming an apostle, Cho has become accustomed to seeing the efforts of being plundered by the apostles and even the final fate of those seriously injured apostolic soldiers. But what she didn't expect was that one day she would become a pawn to be discarded at will. When McGregory let her out, Autumn, who had been living in it like a year, was naΓ―ve at first thinking that it was her leader, Yuri Ellie, and even killed the old thing who locked her up and rescued her. But in the end, she found that she was already in a completely located place. The environment here is as harsh as the apostolic world, and it is pitch black all around, and you can see stinking mires everywhere, as well as corpses everywhere, obviously human, and many of them are not known to be animals. And right next to her, the corpse of a giant beast several times the size of the crusher was lying aside, seemingly dead for a short time, and its body was full of cuts. It's still bleeding.
The old man was standing nearby with five other men, one of whom was holding a monster that seemed to be made of bones and looking at him with a strange expression.
In addition to the old man, there were two other people she also knew, one of whom was the very difficult Qi Tianci, when he first attacked the indomitable city of Saint Sophie, the mourner had specifically mentioned him to the enchantress, saying that he had unpredictable strength. And the other one is the female elf, as one of the two beings that caused the most damage to the apostle, Qiu is still more or less afraid of this elf. But at this time, I actually saw one less magician, which was more or less unexpected by Qiu. Because she had overheard Eury Allie and Ureva talking about the mage being the only one who could change the tide of battle.
At first, after recovering his strength for a short time, Qiu wanted to escape from here quickly so that he could return to the army of the Dao Apostles. But because he didn't replenish his energy for a long time, his physical consumption was too great, and he could only sit weakly in the mud. However, what happened later made Qiu feel very surprised, because after seeing that he had completely lost his ability to resist, those people discussed for a while, and actually let the old man slowly approach him, and tried to persuade himself to join them.
"Rest assured, this is the northern part of the continent, thousands of kilometers away from the Kingdom of Magellan. So, you don't have to worry about whether you are still under the surveillance of the mourner, even if she is monitoring you now, we have enough ability to protect you and prevent the mourner from taking you away again. β
It's simply amazing. She never thought that someone would take the initiative to help her. And the person who helped him happened to be the old man who locked himself in that alien space a long time ago. To be honest, everything was quite good in that alien space, and it was completely an interior that only a high-ranking apostle could enjoy. If it weren't for the old man's haste and lack of food in this old man's dwelling, which was more of an old man's dwelling than a different space. Autumn really wants to enjoy the tranquility in it all the time. Moreover, there were many books in that bookcase, and although Qiu couldn't understand many of the things in the books, as time passed, Qiu slowly read all the contents of McGregor's collection.
Autumn was indeed tired, she had carefully checked the environment here, and made sure that even if this was not thousands of kilometers away from the unyielding city of St. Sophie of the Magellan Kingdom as the old magician said, at least it was not near St. Sophie. If it was true that much time had passed, he would have been out of the apostle clan by now, and in that case, it would be useless to go back. And now she can turn around and avenge her own race that was destroyed by the apostles. So, this is the reason why Qiu has been sitting quietly in place when the few of them deliberately avoided her to discuss things.
When Autumn took the initiative to say his name, McGregory was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Hello Qiu, my name is McGregory and I am a magician. I don't think you'll be lonely with us, look at that girl, her name is Leixi, I'm sure you must be very good friends. β
McGregory pointed to Lei Xi, who was bowing his head nearby, and continued to Qiu, "The one next to Lei Xi is called Hill. She's an elf. β
At this time, Hill interjected coldly: "The only elf in this continent. β
A trace of embarrassment flashed across McGregor's face, and he continued to point to Qi Tianci, who was looking at him with ill will, and continued: "I think you should know him very well, his name is Qi Tianci, and he is a... β
"It's the head of the Xiangyun Society, uncle!"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the head of Xiangyun Club. And the orc standing next to him was the war sword master of the orc tribe. You see, I didn't lie to you. Except for the north of the continent, where else will these orcs appear. β
At this time, the face of the War Sword Saint suddenly looked a little unpleasant, but after all, it still did not happen.
"Also, the one who led a bone horse, his name was Azza, and he was an undead. β
"Undead?" Cho looked at McGray suspiciously, and asked, "Can you tell me what race the undead are? β
McGregory shook his head with a smile and replied, "If you want to really understand the history of the undead, I naturally don't know. However, you can ask this being who has personally experienced the history of the undead. β
Suddenly, Qiu felt a piece of something rushing towards him, and subconsciously took it, but found that it was a piece of meat that was still warm, and Qiu put this piece of meat near his nose and sniffed it, and immediately ate it greedily.
"Thank you, I'm really hungry. While eating, Cho looked gratefully at the undead who threw the piece of meat over, and then asked, "Your name, Azza, right?" By the way, I would like to know that there is no such thing as a dead soul in our world, no matter what kind of life it is, if it dies, it no longer exists. I thought the law of all worlds was the same, but why do you have undead here?"
Ai Ze smiled, walked over and sat beside Qiu, looking at the people around him: "This was originally a secret of our clan, and I'm sure many of you want to know what the undead are all about, right?" But because we have been suppressed to the southwest corner of the continent for a long time, there is no sign of the undead in this place called the human world. Until now, the alliance formed by the undead and the four kingdoms of Kaiyuan has allowed the undead to step into the human world again, and Lady Sigh and I have gone further into this continent. β
"Actually, I'm not the first generation of undead. Since my birth, the undead have been suppressed in the southwest of the continent for a long time. But unlike those who came before me, I was a pure undead in the second generation, and I wasn't transformed from something at the time. β
Qi Tianci was taken aback: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that the undead will also get married and have children?"
Ezer laughed and asked, "What do you think?" of course it's impossible, though we undead are free to form partners. And my partner usually lasts until the other half dies. But we are no longer doomed to be like you creatures. By orthodox undead I mean a ritual performed every 160 years in our homeland by the most eminent necromancer of the time. The content of this ritual is to allow these necromancers to create real undead spirits through the practice of one hundred and sixty years, not the undead transformed from the remains of living creatures. And Lady Sigh and I are the second batch of pure undead, and they are also one of the highest beings among the undead clan. β
In this regard, Qi Tianci sneered: "It seems that even if you can say that you have absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, it still hasn't made your brain smarter~"
Regarding Qi Tianci's sarcasm, Ai Ze just smiled and didn't care. Instead, he continued: "But before the first generation of pure undead was born, those who were transformed had been through an unknown number of years. The only reason why they gave birth to us was to not be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the three kingdoms of Kaiyuan, which were becoming more and more powerful. So we don't know much about the very beginning of many undead people. All that is known is that the first so-called undead were born hundreds of thousands of years ago. At that time, this world was another scene, but at the beginning, these undead were not called that, but were called zombies by other races. β
"Zombies?" Qi Tianci was taken aback, suddenly took a few steps back, and sat on the ground.
Qi Tianci's reaction made others feel inexplicable, Qi Tianci just smiled awkwardly and stood up: "Slippery, slippery, you continue." β
"The zombie clan at the beginning, that is, our ancestors, didn't actually have any intelligence. But even so, they relied on the advantage of being able to convert other races into new zombies, and eventually gained control of the continent. Later, in the long process of evolution, many of our ancestors were due to lack of food. Here I would like to say that, according to our research, the food of our ancestors at that time was the master of the continent at that time. The texts about the events are supposed to be in the Elemental Holy City at the moment. Because of the lack of food, most of our ancestors ended up starving to death. β
"But the surviving ancestors were a blessing in disguise, not only did they change their habits during the dark famine years, and instead of feeding them the flesh of living people, they became able to eat even the flesh of carrion and other animals. And gradually came to his senses. But at that time, a new overlord of the continent was born, and they were completely immune to the attack on our ancestors, so our ancestors experienced the danger of extinction again. Eventually, he lived in seclusion on the mainland. Until thousands of years ago. β
"It wasn't until thousands of years ago that they officially changed their name from zombie to undead. At that time, the continent was a whole new world. Our race has repopulated on the continent. Although the society of the time severely limited our numbers, we were able to invent a technique that summoned our own kind through the bones of animals. You all know what happened next. β
The others all nodded as if they didn't understand, and only Qi Tianci fell into a deep shock.
"How can there be zombies in this world?"
"And why is this world, like my original world, gradually surrounded by zombies, so that my world has fallen into a desperate situation step by step?"
"What happened to my world during the time I was away, and are the survivors still resisting?"
"Could it be that this world is actually the world I live in? β
The more Qi Tianci thought about it, the more panicked he felt, and finally fainted after suddenly screaming.
Qi Tianci's action made the people around him panic, and everyone helped Qi Tianci to sit down on a big rock, and then fed him water and smoothness. After more than ten minutes, Qi Tianci woke up faintly.
Seeing Qi Tianci wake up, Hill's heart that had been hanging back was put back again. But her face remained cold, as if she didn't care about it.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as Qi Tianci woke up, he ran to Hill's arms and cried. Hill was confused for a while, but he still showed his true nature, patting Qi Tianci's back and saying lovingly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry." Whatever happened, it's all in the past. β
"But I don't want it to pass!" Qi Tianci howled, "The effort I have been making all this time is to be able to go back there one day, and then not let that thing pass! Why did things end up like this? Is my efforts for so long in vain?"
