Chapter 217: The Fifth Book of Nagash, Dusk

Although the throne in front of you is made of gold, the overall style is the same as that of the hall, and there are not too many fancy decorations, but this does not mean that it is ordinary, on the contrary, all kinds of vivid reliefs and exquisite patterns prove that this is a thing worthy of the word "throne".

Sitting on the golden throne was a mummy covered in bandages, who died for an unknown amount of time, but fortunately, the faintly purple bandages were filled with magical spells that could immortalize the corpse, so it did not turn into a pile of bones.

Outside the bandage was a suit of bronze and gold armor with turquoise stones and the skulls of unknown creatures. In addition, the mummy wears a bronze helmet and a mask made of gold.

The helmet features a statue of a sharp-billed blackbird, which can be seen on the surrounding frescoes and the pattern of the sarcophagus of the throne, which is supposed to be the symbol of the city-state to which the tomb king belonged during his lifetime.

As for the masks, each Tomb King would make a mask out of gold after his death, which was used to cover the entire head, and extended to the shoulders and most of the chest, and was carved to imitate the face of the deceased, but this mask was much smaller, covering only the lower part of the Tomb King's skeletal face, including half of the nose, chin, and throat, which was attached to the armor.

After seeing the mask, Shi was convinced, there was no mistake, it was this unique shape, it was the artifact "Golden Death Mask" that he had seen in the forum in his previous life, which was originally here.

In addition to armor, helmets, and masks, the throne was surrounded by a slew of glittering weapons, including the most typical sickle, halberd, and bronze swords, which were not stained with blood, but were still murderous.

In general, in addition to being more simple than imagined, the whole dress on the throne is the appearance of the tomb king in the stone impression, which does not look exaggerated at all, but reveals a kind of nobility that has been precipitated over countless years.

But there are two things on the Tomb King that shouldn't be there, which are extremely abrupt and weird.

The first is what I just said, a dagger stuck in the middle of his forehead.

The dagger looks ordinary and not at all remarkable, but on closer inspection, the details on it are unusual.

The spilled part of the dagger shimmered on the outside, the smooth ebony handle was carved with a hatching pattern that provided more comfortable friction, and the dull edge of the dagger was trimmed with silver, and the dark red rune engraved on it made it look like rusty iron, this rune stone looked a little familiar at first glance, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

In addition, with a little research on various cold weapons, he could see at a glance that this shape of dagger could only stab rather than slash or block, and it was undoubtedly an assassin's weapon.

An assassin dagger stuck in the forehead of the Tomb King? It took the life of this king? Then why didn't it be pulled out after being mummified?

Or is there another possibility that the Tomb King was placed on the throne and then inserted?

With a stomach full of doubts, the stone looked down, and there was a second thing there.

On the chest of the Tomb King, there floated an ancient book made of unknown material, not too thick, but it looked extremely vicissitudes, hanging in the air, and at the same time faintly emitting a light purple light.

When he looked closely, he realized that this light appeared not only on the mysterious books, but also on the dagger, on the "Coffin of Gathering Souls" behind it, and on the patterns that were ubiquitous from the ground to the walls.

I don't know which tendon is wrong in my head, the orc lord suddenly took two steps forward, directly took this ancient book from the tomb king, and held it in his arms.

The moment he touched the ancient book, the system that had been silent in his mind finally spoke.

………

When he learned the name of the ancient book in his hand, the stone did not have the surprise of getting an artifact, but instead of being frightened.

I'm going to go! Nagash Nine Volumes? How did I get this kind of thing, I want an artifact, but it's not this, it's definitely a big problem!

It's not that the stone is cowardly, the main thing is that the prestige of the old man is too great, but the "Nagash Nine Volumes" is a shocking work that he has devoted his life to writing, and it is an artifact when he takes it out alone, so you can imagine how powerful it is.

As the originator of necromancy, it is said that all the spells of necromancy are recorded in these nine books, and legend has it that every book of Nagash contains a secret of necromancy.

Some are spells for cataclysmic spells, some are methods for forging dark artifacts, and some have a detailed list of the full recipes for crafting the Elixir of Immortality.

Since the overthrow of the rule of the old man Nakhala in Nehekhara 4,000 years ago, the whereabouts of the "Nine Scrolls of Nagash" are unknown.

Countless necromancers and vampires have been secretly searching for them for thousands of years, and every time the slightest bit of news comes out, it attracts the attention of a large number of dark creatures.

It was first rumored that one of the "Book of Eternal Life" was obtained by Nephilada, the queen of the city-state of "Lamia" at the time, and made a low-grade version of the "Elixir of Eternal Life" from it, and suddenly became the first vampire in history.

Stone knew that this was all a smoke bomb released by the "Vampire Queen", which had been revealed in the game in his previous life, "The First Book of Nagashi, Eternal Life", and it was indeed in the queen's boudoir in the northern side of the mountain range at the edge of the world.

Knowing what, he didn't dare to provoke this queen, who was even more vicious than the snake and scorpion, and those who dared to trouble her, I don't know how many of them were drained of blood and thrown into the mountains and into the belly of the beast.

In addition to this "Book of Eternal Life", the stone also knows the whereabouts of another book, but his owner is even more afraid to mess with it, it can be said that everyone in the world knows that this person has this book of Nagash, but no one dares to make any foolish ideas, which shows how powerful it is.

So when the stone saw this newly triggered hidden quest, he didn't have the idea to do it at all.

In his opinion, this book is a chicken rib, what about the artifact, a dignified orc lord, what is the use of wanting this necromancer's thing, but then again, you can't just throw it away, it's better to take it first, no one knows anyway, to be honest, he is also very curious about what big secrets of necromancy are recorded in this book.

Just as the "Book of Dusk" was held by the stone, the faint purple light flowing throughout the hall suddenly flashed and disappeared without a trace.

After discovering this, the stone involuntarily glanced at the ancient book in his hand, if he guessed correctly, these patterns on the ground were indeed a magic circle, and its core was this book of Nagash.

Since this book is so powerful, is there something else wrong with the dagger inserted in the forehead of the Tomb King?

Just as the stone returned his gaze to the dagger, the system spoke again, this time finally related to the reward that he hadn't seen the shadow yet.
