Chapter 3: The Mission of the Undead
It was an arduous journey, and we thought that we would be able to escape immediately after opening the gate of the Immortal Courtyard, but we did not expect that outside the courtyard was a cliff. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and on the edge of the cliff, there is only a nest of bird eggs...... But we never expected that the blackbird, which was two people the size of two people, flew in front of us so quickly, and we thought it would be another hard battle, but we were finally brought to this place by it - Rodland.
"Rodland...... It is rumored that in the prison of the undead, a very small number of the undead will be chosen, and they will be able to make a pilgrimage to the land of kings. That's right, here, it's Rodland! We arrived in Rodland! Oscar couldn't help himself at the moment, and even the words he said were a little broken because of excitement.
"That's right, we're here. We're standing here, and it's a choice we made together! "If I hadn't met Oscar, I might have fallen into a daze because I had defeated the demon and couldn't leave, and ended up as a living corpse wandering in the House of the Undead. And if Oscar hadn't met me, he would have been locked up in that dark prison forever, and it was he who saved me, and I saved him.
"Once again, I offer you my highest respect" Oscar took off his helmet, put his right hand under his heart, and solemnly made a knightly salute to me (I don't know how the Dark Soul Knight Ritual is calculated, so I took one of the most common) "You must be the one who has shouldered the true mission of the undead, but you have led me with your broad heart so that I can be reborn, please allow me to repay your kindness and let me accompany you to witness the mission of the undead." Oscar's words are actually very dangerous, he has completely abandoned his own destiny, or he has given up his original mission because I am the "chosen immortal". What keeps him sane now is nothing more than his dedication to the mission of the undead, so that even if we complete the so-called mission together, he will eventually become a living corpse because of the loss of faith.
"Brother Oscar, I don't think it's too early for you to make a decision at this moment, in fact, you can come here as the result of our joint efforts, you said that you have a mission on your shoulders, and I am just the most ordinary immortal. Although I took you out of the Immortal House together, how can you be sure that it is not your destiny for me to enlighten you? Maybe I'm just part of your mission. "As an immortal, you must have firm beliefs and hope, which is not only an enlightenment for Oscar, but also an encouragement to yourself. It can be said that I have now fulfilled my obsession with escaping from prison, and what will happen after that, is the mission of the undead really what I must complete? I don't know, but I do know that I don't want to regret my hard-earned second life because I ...... Hates living corpses.
"But...... "I can see Oscar's confusion, because I'm also confused at the moment, what should I do next, do I really take him to the awakening bell like this?" Just watching him walk into the abyss? I really don't know anything.
"I can't stand the two newcomers over there. Anyway, aren't you here for that? We're all the same, the mission of the undead or something. A slouchy remark interrupted my conversation with Oscar.
"You're saying you know the mission of the undead, too? Be sure to tell me what you know. This sentence is like a light in the fog, or maybe a lifeline when drowning, I just know that at this time we need some guidance so that we can continue to hold on to the humanity in our hearts and continue to walk.
"Haha, in fact, the moment we suffer the curse, we are all finished. Staying in the House of the Dead may be the best option...... That's it, I'm idle anyway, so I'll talk to you. In fact, there are two awakening bells mentioned in the mission of the undead, one above this place, the bell tower of the church of the undead. The other is deep below this place, in the ancient ruins at the bottom of the sick village, and it is said that certain things happen when you ring two bells, but ...... I don't know if it's true or not. Forget it, I've never heard what happens after that, anyway, it's not bad. Go, instead of arguing here, isn't this why you have come to this cursed land of the undead? "The knight sitting by the wall thought we were telling us about the mission of the undead, but his languid tone and intractable remarks always gave me the feeling that he was urging us to give up.
"Oscar, I think he's right, the mission of the undead belongs to all the undead who come to Rodland, then our goal is actually the same, it should be said that we are all chosen undead now. So why don't we move forward with that goal? Maybe it's all part of our destiny. "It's impossible to give up, I've come here, no matter how difficult it is, I have to break through, not to mention that this is a good opportunity to enlighten Oscar.
"You're right" Oscar was no longer confused, he straightened up and looked up at the town in the distance, "I decided to go to the parish of the undead, no matter what, I want to give it a try." Putting on the knight's helmet again, Oscar buried his stoic countenance behind steel.
"Please take this" Before leaving, Oscar handed me a ring "This is the proof of our family knight, it can slightly increase the wearer's stamina, although the effect is not very powerful. But I hope this ring can help you, and I hope to see you again on the road to completing your mission in the future, cherish! Oscar walked with determination to the town above, and I silently wore the ring he had given me, a token of my promise to meet again.
"Hmm~~" crushed the humanity I had just found on a corpse, and felt the little black essence transmitted to every part of my body, I sat by the bonfire again, an instinct drove me, so that I activated the humanity in the body in the flames, as if every part of the body was constantly being bitten by insects, and in my muffled pain I felt that the flesh was gradually recovering...... I've changed back to my human state!
"Ha, ha!" I flailed my fists and kicks, but I still didn't feel anything, after all, I was still an immortal, and it was a luxury to completely change back to what I once were. But being able to have a physical body is enough to satisfy me, and perhaps in this treacherous continent, it will make me less afraid and better to continue my adventure.
Oscar has already followed the mountain wall to the church of the Immortal House above, in that case, I'll try to go to the ancient ruins of the sick village below, maybe I can hear Oscar's bell on the way forward, haha.
For some reason, as I walked down the stairs next to the sacrificial ground, I caught a glimpse of a mysterious smile on the mouth of the repelling knight...... I guess I'm wrong...... Anyway, Awakening Bell, I'm coming.
