Chapter 2: Target, Rodland!
"Hah!" One of them flipped and hid in a cell in the alley, and now my body was full of bows and arrows from the living corpse at the end of the alley, and if I hadn't rolled in time, I am afraid that this time I would have died at the hands of such a small living corpse...... I have to thank the big demon from before, at least you gave me a much faster reaction than before. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, no matter how nimble it is, it is impossible to rush through such a narrow alley with a bow and arrow...... Well? The paw print logo shining on the ground suddenly caught my attention, and the beating light seduced my eye at all times, emphasizing its presence all the time - "Here! "Well, I didn't expect this message to pop into my mind the moment I touched the imprint, although it wasn't very helpful...... Because the wooden shield next to the corpse on the ground had been seen the moment I entered, and in any case, the person who left this message must have had good intentions. Then, a flash of approval flashed through my consciousness, and the prompt of the admonition became brighter, and the ability to make it was imprinted in my mind. This is really a convenient ability, if you encounter trouble in the future or find some information, I must be able to help other people, although not together, but this advice has linked us together one by one, struggling to survive, forming invisible hands to support each other...... "Come on!" "This is my advice before I left.
"Woo!" Killing the living corpse with a stick I picked up at the end of the alley, I walked into the white fog door that separated the second floorβa strange door that obstructed my view, but disappeared as soon as I passed, and although I didn't know the purpose of its existence, it didn't seem harmful now. It's better to leave it alone, it's important to find the key to leave.
"Boom!" At this moment, my mood is like eating Xiang, I tear the demon with my bare hands and fold in the hands of you despicable living corpse! Eat me a stick!
"Such as sighs of evil~~" The head was dented by my hard work, with instinctive unwillingness, this living corpse villain who pushed down the iron ball when I went upstairs ended its ugly life...... May your soul be purified and hope that you will not be seen again next time.
"Woo~~" I didn't expect it, upstairs is a blocked iron door, downstairs is the front door back to the courtyard, it looks like I came back in a circle...... Wait, when I passed by, I remember that there was a knight in a sealed cage who looked like the one who helped me. Judging by the location, isn't it just behind the wall that the iron ball has smashed? He must know something!
"Ah, you...... You're not a living corpse, that's great. "Completely different from the beginning, the knight now looked unusually weak, his whole body collapsed on the ground, and it was painful to see him gasping for breath.
"I'm not going to be able to do it anymore, I'm going to die, and once I'm dead, I won't be able to keep my sanity anymore, so I want to ask you for something. We are both immortals, please accept the request and listen to me......"
"Please, if I can help." Removing the identity of the undead, whether it is for the sake of him helping me, or for the sake of his imminent death, this favor must be helped!
"I'm ashamed to say that what I want to tell you is about my mission, and I want to entrust my mission to you, who have never known your life. There is a saying in my family that the undead represent a mission, and with this kind of immortality, you have to go from the Immortal House in the north to the land of the ancient kings, and ring the bell of awakening to know the mission of the undead...... Thank you, now I can finally die with hope. Ah, there's one more thing, I'll leave this thing to you for safekeeping, this is the treasure of the undead, the elemental bottle...... And, of course, this. He weakly handed over a gleaming glass bottle, along with two keys, "Go away, I don't want to attack you after I die...... Also, thank you. β
"Uh" I froze as I looked at the gleaming elemental vial in my hand, thinking that I couldn't understand the knight's actions more now than I suddenly learned about the mysterious and serious mission of the undead.
"What's the matter, let's get out of here, I'm dying."
"You, why don't you drink the elemental of this element? If you drink it, you should be able to recover immediately, right? β
"Oh, you're questioning this...... I'm not the chosen undead, and I understood after I fell into this cell. My mission is over, but I don't want it to end with me, but fortunately, I waited for you, and you, who are also immortals, must have been the hope that appeared to inherit the mission, thank you very much. β
"But the road has been opened, and now we can get out of here as long as we walk through the damned courtyard together, why not do it yourself to fulfill your family's hopes?"
The knight paused for a moment, "As you can see, I am now barely breathing, and even if I heal the wounds on my body, I will not be able to recover the humanity that has been lost in my body. So ......"
"Isn't there still hope?" I interrupted him: "We immortals, as long as our hearts do not die, we will never die." Now that the opportunity to accomplish your mission is in front of you, do you want to choose to escape and be a living corpse for the rest of your life? I don't know if I was chosen, I just know that when I faced that demon, I had to give up dozens of times and become a living corpse. But the belief of leaving made me come all the way to find you here, I can't remember what happened before, but I know that even if I become an immortal, I will pursue the meaning of life, because I hate living corpses that are not even as good as beasts! β
"You ......," the knight's voice trembled and surprised, "you defeated that demon?" β
"That's right, immortality can sometimes be our sharp blade, and we are not even afraid of death, and we are worried about such an ethereal thing as the chosen undead? Now, I, the nameless immortal from the East, have made a formal request to you, can I leave this Immortal House with me and go to the land of kings to explore the mission and secrets of the undead? β
"If you're willing to take me with you, I, Oscar, the knight of Astra, will be with you!"
"Great," Oscar stretched out his right hand and picked him up, "I still have a chance to marry a knight, which is something I can't even think of after becoming an immortal." β
"No, I should be proud, it is the honor of my life to have met someone as open-minded and ambitious as you, and to generously help me who is dying." The two of them supported each other in this way, and although it was difficult, they moved forward step by step, opening the gate of the pilgrims, and marching forward towards the towering cliffs, towards the land of the ancient kings, and towards the fate of the undead.
