Volume 15 of the War of Kings! Chapter 21 begins

In the hall, Luo Lan, Boris, and a man wrapped in burqas stood in front of a desk where a map of the Western Continent was placed, some of the key locations had already been annotated, and a red line snaked and crawled on it, leading to the rear of the Western Continent.

"This is it. The scepter in Luo Lan's hand focused on the end of the map, "That's where we're going, and the route is pretty much the same." ”

Boris didn't have any problem with how to walk, but he said with some concern: "My lord, will our operation be leaked this time?"

Luo Lan snorted and said, "The leakage of news is certain." All of a sudden, so many monks have changed, and in any case, the Council of the Dead will be aware of it. ”

"Oh?" said Boris, astonished, "then does not the suddenness be lost, and the danger and difficulty are greatly increased." ”

Luo Lan waved his hand and said, "The Council of the Dead attacked the Hero Temple, didn't we also get the news in advance and make arrangements in advance?"

His scepter slammed on the map, and said: "As long as the strength is strong enough, the plan is well arranged enough, and the action is fast enough, even if they know it, there is nothing, and most importantly, the initiative is always in our hands, when to fight, when to move, it is completely up to us, they can only defend passively, so I bet they will try to make it as easy as possible for us to follow their pre-prepared route to go deep." ”

Luo Lan turned his head, looked at the man wrapped in a robe, and said, "Knight Qin, what do you say?"

Under the hood of the burqa, there was Qin's pretty and cold face, and in the face of Luo Lan's questioning, she stood there without saying a word.

"Do you know why I grabbed you and didn't ask?" Luo Lan didn't care, he said to himself, "In fact, the moment you are caught by me, you can't go back." Because as long as it takes a long time, even if I let you go back, they won't trust you anymore, and they will wonder, did you betray them? If you didn't, why did you let you come back?"

Jean's body trembled slightly.

"Of course, there must be people who will think that I did it on purpose, but I dare say that they will still choose to dispose of you, because trusting a person is much riskier than guarding against a person, and only if you are disposed of, will more people feel at ease.

"What do you need me to do?" said Jean's cold voice through her burqa.

She finally spoke.

With a smile that seemed to have been expected for a long time, Luo Lan said: "We are going to raid the hinterland of the Council of the Dead and retake the Abyss Horn, but even if we have a specific route, none of us are familiar with that area, so we have to ask you to be our guide." ”

Qin said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will show you the way?"

"It's okay, I'm sure you can't fool me. Luo Lan smiled and said, "I have this confidence." ”

With a wave of his hand, Alfred walked up and took the piano out.

After reconferencing with Boris, he paced to the side hall, where one of them had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Mr. Shaloman, long waiting. ”

"Bishop Landiston, it's been a long time. Shaloman, who had not been seen for a long time, stood up from his seat, and said in a joking tone: "I heard it very clearly just now, do you really need me to accompany you on this operation? After all, I really can't go back, and there are not a few people in the Council of the Dead who want me to die, so I should make you feel more at ease than Jean, right?"

Luo Lan smiled lowly and said: "Mr. Shaloman, your value is not just to lead the way, with you, everything in the Council of the Dead is transparent to us, and you can also distinguish the possible movements of the Council of the Dead from the clues, which is not comparable to the sum of ten pianos for us, I need you to live well, and try to live as long as possible." ”

"That's flattering. "But one thing you're right, I know everything about the Council of the Dead, not only them, but even the Celestial Cult, you know, I've been at war with them for many years, so we're quite familiar with each other. ”

"Oh, that's an unexpected surprise. Luo Lan showed a look of interest and said, "Do you know the specific location of the Heavenly God Sect Temple?"

Shaloman shook his head and said, "Regarding the location of the headquarters of the Celestial God Sect, even if I exterminated many of their followers, I haven't penetrated there, but ......" The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said: "I know that there is a path that can go deep there, and that was discovered by a thief by accident, but before I could carry out the raid plan, the Celestial Cultists made peace with us, of course, claiming that they were defeated." But I never talked about it, and at that time I just thought that in case the Cult broke its oath, I wouldn't be too passive. ”

A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "When I exterminated the Celestial God Sect back then, the council didn't give me much support, even if I sent Qin to assist, it was mostly surveillance, otherwise, that path would be the fatal point of the Celestial God Sect."

Luo Lan raised his eyebrows and said, "There is one thing I have always wondered, why were the elders of the Council of the Dead so jealous of you? When you were at war with me, you had no reinforcements, and you didn't have the support of the Dark Realm, not only that, but the Council of the Dead also sent people to monitor you, and after you surrendered, they even commissioned the thieves to ask if you were really dead and where your body was buried? It seems that even if there is no me, they will do something to you sooner or later." ”

"Well, I don't know much about it. Shaloman smiled bitterly and said, "I've never taken this seriously anyway, although the elders of the Council of the Dead have always cared about it," after a pause, he asked, "Do you know about the undead knights?"

"Yes. Luo Lan nodded, how could he forget the person who had his arm cut off by him in Beiselen City?

"The Immortal Knight is the longest-lived of the Ten Kings, he used to be a soul hunter, and after reaching a certain level, the soul hunter can fuse his soul with a certain 'medium', and as long as those mediums do not die, the soul hunter will not really die. ”

Speaking of this, Shaloman snorted and said, "But the undead knight is ingenious, he does not leave the soul medium on some kind of object, but in the bloodline of his son, so that his soul can be passed on from generation to generation as he reproduces from his own offspring." It's not clear how many years ago this happened, in short, after his descendants have multiplied from generation to generation, no one can say how many people there are in this family. As long as these descendants do not die, he will not really die. But doing so will cause his strength to continue to weaken, so almost every generation he will find a suitable body, gather the souls of those dead offspring, and then slowly regain his strength. ”

"Is that so?" Luo Lan had to admire the king's whimsy, no wonder the other party's title was "immortal", I'm afraid it was.

"But what does this have to do with you......?

"Yes," said Shaloman, nodding his head, "he is my ancestor, and to be exact, I am one of his unknown descendants." ”

He sighed and said: "Originally, this is nothing, but I am one of the elders of the Council of the Dead, the elders are very afraid that the undead knights will steal my body and then control the Council of the Dead, no matter what the king and the strong say they don't care about the little things of mortals, but after all, they exist in this world, they have not really escaped from the category of 'people', as long as they are people, they are ** It's just that the things they care about are not quite the same as ours, but if they can easily get something that is also valuable, I believe that few people will refuse...... As long as there is such a possibility, I will always be one of the most dangerous people in the eyes of the patriarchs. ”

......

"You've been there already, so soon?" said Biduka II, looking at Luo Lan, in a rather strange tone, "Did the Lord of the Thunder Cliff agree like that?"

Luo Lan smiled slightly, his gaze stopped on Pildoca II for a moment, and then he said slowly: "Of course, if you are not at ease, you can ask a trusted adult to confirm it again. ”

Pituka II was stunned, he looked carefully at Luo Lan, who had a calm face, and couldn't help frowning.

Has Landiston really been to Raging Thunder Bluffs?

Maybe not at all

But he suddenly found that no matter whether Luo Lan did this thing or not, since the other party said so, then he could only choose to believe it, because he really had no way to confirm the authenticity of this matter, and the adult on the Angry Thunder Cliff would definitely ignore him, and it was very unwise to send someone to show that he did not trust the other party.

"I hope nothing goes wrong......" Pildoca II sighed, at this point, he had no way to refuse the other party, originally he just wanted to make Landiston retreat, but he didn't expect the other party to directly fight back against him in such a simple way and leave him speechless.

Luo Lan smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problems." ”

Perhaps it was the confidence in the other party's tone that made Piluca II settle down a little, he hesitated, slowly picked up the scepter, and then pulled the back end of the scepter, which was a metal bar, covered with serrations of different sizes, he reached out and handed it to Luo Lan, and said solemnly: "This is the key." ”

Luo Lan stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Pildoca II did not let go immediately, he stared at Luo Lan and said slowly: "Bishop Landiston, I look forward to you coming to surprise me again this time. ”

After exiting the hall, two close officers of Pyrhuca II led him to a cemetery in the northwest corner of the center.

This cemetery is buried with low-ranking clergy who have died in many holy wars, and many of them are often wrapped in sackcloth and randomly stuffed into the tombs in the underground tunnels with only their names hung on their bodies, but after so many years, some of those signs have long since decayed, and it is completely impossible to distinguish the identity of the original owner.

Two priests with fire candles in their hands struggled to push open the stone door blocking the entrance of the tomb, and then walked in the tomb full of gloomy atmosphere, they first cast a few purification and cleaning techniques, and then carefully poured oil into the lamp trough, and then lit it with a torch, and the slightly swaying fire light extended all the way down the light trough, immediately illuminating the passage ahead.

They did not stop, nor did they waste time on the overlapping corpses on either side of the walls, but went straight to the end of the tomb, where a large square stone chamber appeared.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing in it, only the bare cold stone walls.

The two priests cleared the dust from the very center of the ground, revealing a large white stone slab with a metal ring on it, on which a silver doji was drawn, and in the very center of the pattern, there was a small keyhole.

One of the priests walked up to Luo Lan, bent down, and said very humbly, "My lord, please give me the key." ”

Luo Lan handed the key to the other party's hand, the other party bowed to her very politely, and then took the key to the pattern, aimed at it and slowly inserted it, and then slowly turned, "Click" two sounds that seemed to affect something came out, and immediately dropped a thick iron chain holding a bracelet from the stone wall.

The priest looked happy and said, "It's done." ”

Another priest immediately stepped forward, and the two of them pulled down the chain together.

A booming sound came up from the ground, and it was the sound of the winch being activated.

The white stone sank downward, revealing a deep staircase that led to the ground.

The sweaty priest hurriedly raised a torch and shone it at the entrance of the cave, then recited a spell and threw a purification spell down, and the fresh air suddenly poured into the tomb.

"This is it. He spoke excitedly.

Luo Lan nodded, walked down first, and the three of them walked down the stairs together, which was also a tomb, but there was a cross coffin in it, which was very exquisitely made, and it was also engraved with various patterns of miracles of the god of light.

On the front of the coffin, there are two very small keyholes, but there is only one key, which Pidoca II did not explain in advance.

Slowly circling around the cross coffin, Luo Lan stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the key."

The priest didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly held the key in both hands and handed it to Luo Lan's palm.

Luo Lan inserted the key into the keyhole on the left, but when he entered the third of the way, he turned it slightly, then pulled it out and inserted it into the keyhole on the right side, and also turned it at the third of the time.

With a series of rattle sounds, the wedges on the coffin lid jumped out automatically, landing with a crisp sound.

Both priests looked surprised, how could Bishop Landiston know the correct way to open this coffin?

Luo Lan said lightly: "There are miracles shown by my lord on it, if you really look at it carefully, you can know that the way to open it is hinted at in that story one by one." ”

So it turned out that this was the case, and the two priests suddenly realized, they looked at the coffin, and then at Luo Lan, and thought to themselves, Bishop Lantiston was indeed a devout believer.

Luo Lan waved his hand and said, "Okay, you two go out first." ”

The priest didn't dare to question it, and after quickly bowing and saluting, he hurriedly retreated.

After making sure that the two people had indeed walked away, Luo Lan stood there, but his fingers moved to the side, the heavy and huge coffin lid seemed to be pushed by a huge force, he slowly moved to the side, and then fell to the ground, and the cross coffin full of metallic color was finally completely opened

Luo Lan stepped forward and looked down.

Inside the coffin, a man who looked to be under forty lay peacefully, his face strangely pale.

But Luo Lan knew that the actual age of this person was far more than what he seemed on the surface.

"Hello, Brother Nell. ”

The man lying in the coffin suddenly opened his eyes, he looked at Luo Lan calmly, then slowly sat up and said, "Hello." He looked at Luo Lan carefully, looked at the latter's robe, and said, "This bishop, what should I call you?"

"I am Bishop of Bethlehem, Vice-President of the Seminary, Rundit Landiston. ”

The man didn't pay attention to the identity of the vice president, but was quite interested in Luo Lan's previous identity, his eyes shot a strange light, and he sighed: "Bethlehem...... Is the glory of the Holy See finally swaying there......"

He slowly stood up, then stepped out of the cross coffin, and said very calmly: "Wake me up now, it must be the time when the Holy See needs me to come forward, what happened during the time I was cultivating?"

Luo Lan said: "The Council of the Dead took away the Abyssal Horn stored in the Temple of Heroes, and the Emperor Adriman was also killed in this battle. ”

"Oh, he's dead, did the king of the Council of the Dead make a move?" The death of a king powerhouse didn't seem to surprise him much, and he even seemed to be very unconcerned in his tone, and as for the corner of the abyss, he seemed to be even less concerned.

Luo Lan shook his head and said, "It's not them." ”

"Not them?" Nell thought for a moment and said, "Then it's probably that person, and if it's not, it must be someone related to him." He turned his head and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Luo Lan said in a deep voice: "The monks will decide to launch a retaliatory counterattack, and the people who move are all selected elites, but since the other party has the help of the king and the strong to fight, of course we can't help but make preparations in this regard." ”

Nell suddenly looked at Luo Lan, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and said, "Aren't you a king?"

Luo Lan smiled, he didn't fluctuate because the other party shouted out his identity as a king, met the other party's gaze, and said: "But I'm just a person, if it's fighting in the Holy See, of course I don't need to wake you up, but if you go to the territory of the Council of the Dead, don't forget, there are three strong kings there, I want to ask you, are you willing to go with me?"

Nair looked at him, and there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes, just an indescribable power that accumulated in it and rolled up.

After the two people's eyes met in the air for a moment, a bright smile appeared on Nell's face and said, "I am the one who lived for the light, and of course I should die for the light." ”
