Chapter 90: The Mysterious Skeleton

No one knew how long and deep the Canyon of Sighs was, and not even the warriors who rushed into it with Keynes had ever reached the end of the canyon.

Some of the first mercenary and hunting parties to enter the canyon may have actually reached the end of the canyon, but it is a mystery whether any of those people from that group of people twelve years ago survived.

Arthur and the others continued to go deeper and deeper in this mysterious canyon, because there were always surprising harvests from time to time, and no one noticed that the sky was gradually getting brighter.

Because the high cliffs on both sides block direct sunlight, the canyon floor is also dark during the day.

A streak of emerald green on the palm of a boneless skeleton caught Moral's attention, a ring on the skull's index finger. After all this year, this ring is still emerald and must be worth a lot.

After turning over so many skeletons, Morar had long lost his fear of these things, and directly grabbed the skeleton's palm and pulled the ring down.

The skeleton's fingers bent, and the ring got stuck at the knuckles and didn't come off.

"You still don't give up your money, see me break off your palm. Moral muttered as he pulled his hand, trying to rip off the skeleton's entire arm bone.

Morar tugged hard, but the skeleton's arm was not pulled off, but its head was raised, and two hollow eyes looked at Moral.

"Ahh

"Moral, shut up!"

"Moral, can you please stop making a fuss?"

Arthur and Golly nearby scolded almost at the same time, and their eyes also turned around, but they were instantly stunned!

I saw Morar sitting on the ground, and a skeleton staggered up from the ground, and then raised a palm to grab Moral.

Moral was already so frightened that he completely forgot about dodging and attacking.

Arthur, who was closest to him, directly threw out the Starfall Sword in his hand. The Starfall Sword slammed into the skeleton with a loud bang, leaving only a pile of skeletons completely shattered.

Everyone gathered around with grim faces, and it seemed that the canyon was really not peaceful.

"Attacked by skeletons, could there be a dark mage around here?" said Gori.

"It's not like a dark mage. Dark mages can only control corpses that have just died and have intact brains, they have no way to control skeletons that don't have brains. "Arthur, because he was with Arnold, knew more about dark mages than anyone else.

Because of the control of the church, other people don't know anything about necromantic creatures like skeletons, so they naturally can't understand how skeletons can actively attack appear in the canyon.

Joan curiously picked up the pile of smashed skeletons, trying to find out why, but found nothing but the ring that Moral hadn't taken off.

This ring is also a magic ring, and the emerald green face is a second-grade green crystal.

Joan took the ring and shook it in front of Moral's eyes, "Do you still want this?"

"Yes, I bought this with my life. Morar snatched the ring back.

Arthur stopped the two who continued to make trouble, "Don't make trouble, let's keep going, everyone be careful, don't be too far away from each other, there may be this kind of skeleton that attacks people in the canyon." ”

As Arthur expected, the group walked more than a hundred meters before they came across a second moving skeleton. No one touched him, and as the crowd approached, it staggered to its feet from the ground.

Arthur stops Golly as she tries to shoot it to pieces, "Arya, 'Ball of Light'"

A fist-sized ball of light flew out of Arya's hand, hitting the skull and dissipating into countless points of light.

The first-level light-based magic "Light Sphere" was almost non-lethal, and the skeleton still staggered forward.

"Light magic doesn't work against it, this skeleton isn't a necromantic creature. Arthur asked Arya to make a move just to test his guess.

"Moral, let it hit you. Arthur continued.

"I don't!" Moral flatly refused.

Golly, who was standing next to Moral, suddenly flew up and kicked Morar hard in the ass.

Caught off guard, Moral staggered forward, only to crash into the oncoming skeleton. Moral's fat body fell forward, smashing the skeleton to pieces as it fell to the ground.

"Slow movement, fragile body, almost zero attack power. Arthur continued, "If they are intelligent creatures, they cannot survive in nature, and if they are artificially created, they have no use. ”

"It's not a necromantic creature, it's not artificially created, so how did these weak guys come out?"

"You see I've found this. Morar got up from the ground excitedly, carrying a delicate pendant in his hand, which seemed to be also a magic item.

"Where did you find that?"

"On the neck of this skeleton beneath me, these guys are the Fortune Boys!" Moral smiled, his previous fears long gone.

Arthur took the pendant in Moral's hand and looked at it, it was not of high level, but it was a real magic item.

"Show me that magic ring from before, too. ”

"Why?" Morar looked at Arthur with a wary look, "We agreed before, whoever picks up the loot will be theirs." ”

Arthur didn't talk nonsense with Moral, and grabbed it directly. It was a low-level magic ring, and Arthur didn't see anything unusual in it.

Arthur finished reading it and threw it back to Moral, who was looking at him.

The crowd who could not find the reason could only continue deeper into the canyon.

It didn't go far before a third skeleton reappeared. This time, Moral was the first to rush forward, even forgetting that he was a magician, and knocked the skeleton to the ground with a direct collision.

Morar stood up from the ground with a magic token in his hand and exclaimed excitedly, "What am I talking about? These skeletons are the Fortune Boy!"

Looking at the magic token in Moral's hand, a flash of light flashed in Arthur's mind, "I know what is going on with these skeletons!"

......

The military tent in the Frost Thunder Legion.

At this time, only the two of them were left in the tent, Archduke Palmer and Shino, and it was rare for the two to sit down and drink tea together.

Grand Duke Palmer took the teapot and filled his teacup first, and then Shino, "You've been working hard lately. ”

"The Grand Duke treats me as a family member, and I naturally repay the Palmer family sincerely. Shino said respectfully.

"There are no outsiders here, I'm not an archduke or a legion, you're just as much of a child as Gloria is in my eyes. ”

"Yes, father. Shino's title was immediately changed.

"There is one more thing you have to work hard for tomorrow, you will come forward for me to coordinate the transfer of the left army and the Knights of Light. The Grand Duke said casually.

Shino was stunned for a moment, but instantly pretended to be indifferent, "Do you need to be in such a hurry?" There are too many things that need to be handed over to the left army, and I don't think it's impossible to change the guard two days late." ”

"It doesn't matter where our legion arrives, but the Knights of Light are in a hurry, and Archbishop Sosis should have made a point to explain to Vance about the Canyon of Sighs. ”

Shino sighed softly, but his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking of any way to delay it for another two days and then change the guard.

The Grand Duke didn't notice Shino's abnormality, and continued: "The place in the Sigh Canyon is a thunder, it's better to hand it over as soon as possible, the Knights of Light take over the task of guarding, and we can also put all the forces of the Legion into the war against the orcs." ”

Sino was still stunned and didn't react.

This time, the Grand Duke finally discovered Shino's anomaly, "What?

Shino hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "No problem." ”
