Volume 1: The Second Coming (Remastered) Chapter 33: Disamar's Sorrow (3)

The guards in the mausoleum are mainly ghosts and skeleton warriors, the former will wander around the entire mausoleum, and occasionally they can be seen transporting some burial goods from one burial chamber to another, which should be the servants who served Disama at the beginning, many undead nobles will do this, compared to skeletons and zombies with low intelligence, the intelligence of ghosts and ordinary people is not much different from them, so they are good at handling various daily chores, and they have always been one of the favorite servants of high-level undead.

The skeleton warriors guarded the various areas of the mausoleum in groups of two, Yu Bin guessed that they should have been Disama's subordinates thousands of years ago, according to records, this death knight was not only famous for his strength, but also led by the knight of the Dead Blade, which was a very rare elite force among the undead, in that great battle, it was with this army armed with cold iron that Diszama successfully forced the elven expeditionary force to never move forward.

Cold iron is a special metal produced in the territory of the undead, after the perennial erosion of the power of death, a part of the high-quality iron ore is gradually affected into the cold iron ore containing the power of death, the use of cold iron ore to make equipment can not only significantly increase the strength of the undead, but also has a very good defense against light and natural spells, has been used as one of the equipment raw materials for the high-level troops of the undead.

However, up to now, the skeleton warriors killed by Yu Bin only have the simplest iron armor, and there is also a big gap between their strength and the legendary Immortal Blade Knight, many skeleton warriors are only fifth-order, or even fourth-order, Yu Bin guesses that this is likely due to the fact that they have been trapped in the mausoleum for a long time and have not been able to replenish their death power. The more powerful the undead, the higher the demand for death power, once they can't get enough death power replenishment, it will lead to a decrease in strength or even a drop in rank, and at worst, the soul fire will not be able to maintain consumption and fall into a deep sleep.

As for not finding any equipment made of cold iron, Yu Bin was not surprised. A weapon made of cold iron as the main material can even be sold for hundreds of thousands of gold coins among the undead, and it is obviously impossible for the Dia Empire to agree that Disama's subordinates will waste this kind of weapon here meaninglessly, for the undead, even if it is a corpse, they will use it to the extreme, let alone such an important war material.

For the current Yu Bin, the skeleton warriors in groups of two are not invincible enemies, and the thousand-year-long period has not only reduced the strength of these skeleton warriors a lot, but also made it difficult for them to improve their martial arts. In the world of Ntagre, in order to win the confrontation between the factions, new technologies are developed almost every day, and old technologies are eliminated, even the most time-sensitive undead, the speed of technological updates will not be much worse than that of other races. A thousand years is enough time for Yu Bin and these skeleton warriors to open up several levels of combat skills.

The most obvious is the choice of attack parts. The skeletal warriors guarding the mausoleum still maintain the habits of millennia, and most of the weapons in their hands are aimed at the heart or skull, which are both the vital points of the living race and the most common part of the undead to store soul fire. But hundreds of years ago, the undead had already learned the art of letting the soul fire wander around their bodies during war, which not only greatly reduced the mortality rate of the undead, but also strengthened their control over various parts of the body.

Conversely, the Life Race has also developed techniques to deal with this change, and the emergence of osmotic spells is one of them. Through special spell-casting techniques, mages are able to inflict direct a portion of their magical power into the bodies of the undead, causing direct damage to the Soul Fire.

As players often need to face enemies that are more powerful than themselves, the need for various targeted technologies is even more urgent, and the resulting variety of new combat skills is very rich, which can be said to greatly improve the technological progress of the world of Entagre. Yu Bin uses some of the techniques used to deal with skeleton-like enemies, such as attacking the joints between bones to achieve an effect similar to cripple, such as using weapons as fulcrums and applying instantaneous reverse force, resulting in the dislocation or even detachment of important parts. These techniques helped Yu Bin close the gap between him and these skeleton warriors, and ultimately helped him overcome his opponents.

It passes through the main hall, the front hall, the built-in transept and the reverse corridor to the main crypt in the deepest part of the mausoleum, which includes the main burial chamber, the burial area, the antechamber and the inner chamber where the coffin is kept.

The skeleton warriors who can guard the main tomb are more powerful than those of the upper mausoleum in terms of equipment and strength, not only have the weapons begun to appear demonic weapons with additional effects, but their form also belongs to the evolution of the skeleton warrior - the black knight. The rank is also generally maintained at the fifth order, which shows the strength of these guards at the beginning.

It's a pity that when facing Bin, they still didn't have much success. The previous skeleton warriors not only provided Yu Bin with experience and equipment, but the most important thing was to get Yu Bin used to the fighting style of these guys, the long knives in the hands of these black warriors are undoubtedly more suitable for use on horseback, and the long knives with a length of nearly two meters are difficult to exert the greatest effect in a place like the tomb, and the loss of the most important mount also makes the lethality of these black warriors greatly reduced, at least Yu Bin does not have to face the terrible situation of group charge.

Throwing the long knife in his hand to a black warrior not far away, the breastplate cut by the black wing blade made the long knife insert into his chest without hindrance, and the gap between the ribs allowed the long knife to come out of his chest, nailing the black warrior's entire body to the stone wall behind him, at the same time, Yu Bin, who chose to use the thick breastplate back to resist a slash, quickly pulled out the short sword from his belt, and stabbed it into the opponent's eye socket with his backhand, and at the same time, a bottle of freezing medicine was smashed by him on the right shoulder of the black warrior, The visible frost quickly covered his entire shoulder, making him unable to swing the long knife in his hand for a while.

Seizing this opportunity, he stabbed the Black Wing Blade three times in a row and successfully destroyed the soul fire in the skull, turning the Black Warrior into a pile of scattered bones, and at this time, the unlucky guy who was nailed to the stone wall had just pulled out the long knife in his chest and was ready to continue the attack towards Yu Bin.

Stretching out his foot, the long knife left by the dead black warrior was picked up by Yu Bin, and after holding the hilt, Yu Bin directly slashed at the whirlwind, and the nearly two-meter long knife slashed at the black warrior's waist and abdomen like a windmill with a whistling sound, and slashed it down the spine along the gap in the ribs, directly cutting it in half.

The black warrior whose body was separated still maintained a forward posture, but in the next second, the broken spine could no longer support the movements of the upper body, and the misplaced body caused the long knife in his hand to swing towards Yu Bin's arm, and after he turned around and flashed, the long knife in his hand changed to a horizontal rotation to an oblique split, and launched the long knife of the shun chopping and slashing with the residual momentum of rotation to behead the black warrior, and in the end, this black warrior did not take back the dominance of the battle, so he followed in the footsteps of his companions.

Putting aside the long knife that had been notched in his hand, Yu Bin quickly took off the breastplate, the crack on his back showed that the cuirass was already in a damaged state, as long as the strength of the black warrior was a little greater, maybe this attack could split the protection of the breastplate and directly hurt Yu Bin under the armor.

Replaced by the complete cuirass left by the black warriors, it was obvious that the equipment on Yu Bin's body had been completely changed, and it looked no different from these black warriors from a distance. If you change to another race, you are likely to be deceived by Yu Bin's disguise, but the way the undead identify the target is through soul fluctuations, no matter how similar Yu Bin's disguise is, the guards of this mausoleum can still spot him as an intruder at the first time.

After resting for a few minutes to recover his strength, and most importantly, after waiting for the skill cooldown time to end, Yu Bin walked to the door of the main tomb, as long as he pushed open this door, it meant that Yu Bin entered the core and most dangerous area of this mausoleum. No one knows what is behind this to protect the owner of this mausoleum, as a legendary-level powerhouse, if he doesn't have a few hero-level subordinates under him, Yu Bin will not believe it if he dies.

Pushing open the door, what appeared in front of Yu Bin was a huge semicircular space, the vault that was hollowed out upwards was supported by a marble column in the middle, and the top of the stone pillar was densely inserted with stone bars as thick as an arm, which were connected with the vault as a whole, looking like a big tree with lush leaves.

The walls around the tomb are also full of strange atmosphere, and it does not look like the tomb of the undead at all. Grasslands and forests carved in lapis lazuli form the main body of the mural, and although the colors are somewhat mottled over a long period of time, the elaborate depictions of flora and fauna can still be seen.

What amazed Yu Bin the most was that the whole mural was like a long picture scroll, in the center of the picture scroll was a knight wearing heavy armor and mighty, the undead war horse under the crotch proved the identity of the knight, and standing side by side with the undead knight was a female elf riding a pure white unicorn.

Beyond that, there is not a single foreign object in sight in the entire burial chamber, as if this is the elaborate home of Disama Caron and Serena Morrowind, a couple who have crossed racial barriers and enjoyed a quiet life.

Yu Bin let out a long sigh, walked up to the couple on the mural, knelt down on one knee, and offered his respect and apologies to the couple who dared to break the thick ice between races and give their lives for the peace of the mainland.

"Your Excellency Disama Caron and Mrs. Serena Caron, the humble Undead Ice Whisper Dry Bones hereby beg forgiveness in my personal name for offending the peaceful lives of the two of you! With the honor of a knight and the fire of my soul, I will not take anything except the inheritance of His Excellency Caron's profession, and I will forever keep everything I see and hear in this place in my heart! The great will to die is upon me, and the Oathbreaker will be thrown into the depths of Hell to be punished by the fire of eternal calamity! ”

It's not that Yu Bin is hypocritical, but he knows that he can't give up his bottom line at any time. He has seen a lot of unscrupulous beings in his previous life in order to achieve their goals, whether it is players or aborigines, they unscrupulously destroy the rules and bottom lines of this world, and eventually become slaves of desire.

People who can't even stick to their bottom line can't withstand the temptation of desire! Although Yu Bin is not a noble person who abides by the eight precepts of knights, he is also unwilling to be a puppet of desire with no bottom line. Take away what can be taken, respect those who deserve respect, protect the weak that should be protected, and give death that must be given, this is the bottom line that Yu Bin adheres to!

At the moment when Yu Bin was about to get up, as if in response to him, the mural began to split in the middle and slowly moved to both sides, revealing the inner room hidden behind the mural, where two delicate coffins lay quietly, the surface of the coffin carved with the images of Disama Caron and Serena Morrowind, as if welcoming Yu Bin as a guest.

This sudden change surprised Yu Bin, he subconsciously jumped back, the black wing blade was horizontal in front of his chest for the first time, and the soul touch (pseudo) was also activated at the same time, guarding against any hint of wind and grass.

After a while, a nearly transparent white mist slowly floated out of Disama CuarΓ³n's coffin, condensing in mid-air into a translucent human form, the appearance of the Death Knight who had been dead for thousands of years.

"After a long wait, I finally ushered in the turning point of fulfilling my last wish just when I was about to completely dissipate!" The translucent soul humanoid floated in the air, and the voice with an ethereal aura echoed in the tomb, "Don't be afraid, Ice Whisper Dry Bone, I'm just a remnant of the mind body, unable to move or hurt you!" ”

"Your Excellency Disama Karon, may I ask you what is the matter? If it's for my rude offense, I'm willing to apologize to you again! ”

"No, no, no, it's the opposite, I'm glad to see you at the last moment! The oath you just took has proven your character, and even in my time when I was alive, it was extremely rare to be able to do something like you! The soul humanoid smiled and waved his hand at Yu Bin, "I don't mean to blame you, or the opposite, I have a request that I want you to help me fulfill, that's my last wish!" ”

Yu Bin nodded: "Although my strength is insignificant, as long as you don't mind, I am very willing to serve you as an apology for my offense to your peaceful sleep with Lady Serena!" ”

"Thank you! Thank you! The soul humanoid seemed to be deeply touched, covered her eyes with her hands, and said in a choked voice, "You are the first person to consider Serena my wife, and no one has ever called her that since we fell in love!" ”

"The love between the two is a feat that has never been done on the continent of Ntagre! Momentary prejudice can't obscure the brilliance of gemstones forever! ”

Yes, we believe in that too! One day, there will be peace in this world, and even the undead and elves will be able to live in harmony! The soul figure nodded heavily, "Let's get back to business!" As you can see, after I chose to commit suicide, my loyal men continued to protect this place, including my mount, Sammy, for which I still feel guilty. Your arrival is the end of it all, and my heroic men died in battle, and for the undead, it's the best outcome! But there's one last one that you need to write down for him yourself. ”

The soul figure stretched out his finger and pointed at the undead horse on the mural: "My mount, Sammy, has been sending me his soul power since a thousand years ago, hoping that I will be resurrected and drive him to the battlefield again, but I can't meet Sammy's request!" After such a long time, Sammy's soul has been weakened to the extreme, and if he continues to persist like this, it will not be long before he will completely dissipate due to the exhaustion of his soul power, which is the shame of Sammy's life. ”

"So what do you want me to do?" Yu Bin somewhat understood what Disama Caron meant.

"I will use the last bit of power of this remnant soul to awaken Sammy, and I hope you will give him a death worthy of his identity! In return, you can take everything in this mausoleum with you. Unfortunately, in order to protect Serena's corpse from the forces of death, all my possessions have been used to furnish this mausoleum, and the only thing that can be given to you is my meager experience of the Death Knight profession and some perception of power, I hope you don't dislike it. ”

"It's an honor!" Yu Bin put away his short sword, punched his chest, and bowed to the remnant soul of Disama.
