Chapter 127: Death Knell
Battle Settlement: Kill 1 Wraith and 3 Corpse Demons together. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info. Gain 1163 XP.
Mission Update: Failed to return to the dead.
With a slight sigh, Ryan threw the experience points directly onto the mage class, and the experience points also became 12731, but there was still a long way to go before the next level.
Although the mission failed, the harvest was not without it. Looking at the necklace in his hand, Ryan smiled, and the haze caused by the system prompt was swept away.
If the soul of Vares is unlocked, as long as the effect is not particularly unsatisfactory, it can definitely be called a high-level strange thing, and it is a piece of equipment that is more valuable than that of a flame operator! And this kind of jewelry magic equipment can be encountered but not sought!
However, it is a pity that the bonus of +1 for Constitution is only changed to 15, and the bonus is not adjusted, so that the health value has not changed.
As for the horror wail, it is definitely the best choice for killing people and goods, after all, he has his own experience, and Ryan knows very well that it is really difficult to pass the test of this skill!
"Uhh A weak cry of pain summoned Ryan's attention, who quickly gathered his mood and walked towards Lanier, who was slowly opening his eyes.
With Hoffman being wiped out and the life box being taken away, Blackwood Town seemed to be relieved, countless undead were exceeded, and the vast soul power continued to be transmitted to the spirit world, so that the plane gate was pulled open. A low whistling echoed throughout the town, like the sound of the wind, and like a murmur of resentment.
Outside the gates of the castle, dozens of heavily armed humans looked up at the sky where the dark clouds were gradually parting. The silver-white armor worn by the man in front of the crowd had no ornate ornamentation, it was simple and unpretentious, and the flail on his hand was full of dense and sharp protrusions, and the appearance was very terrifying.
"High Priest, it seems we're late." A temple warrior beside him with a cross-handed sword bowed to him and said.
As soon as the words fell, the priest who took the lead ignored the words of the samurai, and looked inside the broken gate: "Since you are here, you don't need to hide anymore, come out." ”
The air around him was quiet for a moment, and a figure slowly stepped out of the shadows, it was Ryan.
The sword roared softly, and the group outside the door was immediately on alert, and the cold light made Ryan frown, and silently tightened the gum in his hand. The lead priest reached out to stop the others, and at the same time attracted Ryan's attention, looking at the micro-chapter on his waist, the wrinkles between Ryan's brows gradually relaxed.
I saw that the pattern on it was a golden scale supported by a white arm bone, which was the holy emblem of Kranvo, the god of death!
Ryan instantly understood the intention of the comer, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
It is rumored that many gods died in the battle during the turbulent year, including the three gods of death, Bane, Baal, and Mirkor, who was put on the hunt list by Ryan in the first place. Later, after a series of intrigues and coincidences, Kranvo, a mortal warrior, was finally promoted by AO to obtain the priesthood of death and become the new god of death.
In contrast to Mirkor's evil, Cranvo's teachings require his priests to be servants of all kinds of afterlife, and they are always dedicated to caring for the mortal masses, unraveling the mystery of death for mortals, and comforting those who have lost loved ones. Despite being a neutral deity, the followers of Cranvo go deep into the mortal world and are happy to bring light and safety to countless people.
At the same time, his priests or paladins believed that the dead should "rest in eternal peace", and they hated the evil undead and the evil ones who created them, many called them necromancers, and they were no less enthusiastic about the crusade against the undead than the followers of Loshanda.
Looking at the posture of these people in front of him, it must be precisely to launch a holy war against Hoffman.
"Who are you?" Although he knew the other party's intentions, his previous encounters in the underground made Ryan understand that sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.
"Young man, we are believers in Cranvo, can you tell me why you are here?" The middle-aged priest who noticed Ryan for the first time nodded to the people next to him, and the latter immediately withdrew the half-drawn greatsword and asked Ryan.
"I've been entrusted here to help her find her missing companion." Ryan replied perfunctorily, and then beckoned behind him, only to see Laura slowly walk out of the shadows with Lanier, "Since you still have something to do, then we won't bother." ”
"Stop!" Seeing that Ryan wanted to leave after speaking, the paladin immediately sighed, but soon realized that he seemed to be a little too harsh, and bowed slightly to the half-elf and apologized, "Please stay, I want to ask, have you ever encountered an undead creature, such as a lich?" ”
And so it was.
With their eyes staring, Ryan and Laura glanced at each other, and then shook their heads slightly: "Several of us have encountered ghosts like this, if we encounter a lich, where is there a way to live?" ”
"Adventurer, you don't have to be wary of us." The middle-aged priest who took the lead stepped forward at this time, and as he spoke, an aura of non-anger and self-authority came to his face, "We've been paying attention to the situation in Blackwood Town for a long time, but that lich is very well hidden, and hasn't been seen since it fought us three years ago. ”
"The illusion here somehow collapsed, I guess you must know something, right?"
Glancing at Lanier, who was breathing heavily, the middle-aged priest smiled lightly and picked up the silver badge around his waist: "Why don't we make a deal?" ”
Seeing the priest shaking the emblem in his hand, Ryan didn't know what he wanted to do, and was silent for a while, as if he didn't see the anxiety on Laura's face, and nodded to the priest: "Okay, you convinced me." Laura, bring Lanier. ”
"But..."
"Rest assured, the followers of Cranvo revere the Sleeper, and they will not affect Chloe's rest." Ryan knew her concerns and patted her on the shoulder and comforted.
The mage's physique is not much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the healing magic is not very effective for severe physical wounds, not to mention the horrific scars such as the penetrating shoulder blade and the broken eyeball on Lanier's body.
"Let's talk about it, then." Watching a group of priests gently lay Lanier flat on the ground and begin to heal, the middle-aged priest came to Ryan's side.
"I don't know, but the lich you're talking about has been destroyed."
"What did you do?"
"No, it's another person, another lich to be exact." Recalling the mysterious man who couldn't see his face clearly, Ryan couldn't help frowning, "There is a good chance that he has the strength of a master or even a legend." ”
"And he took the lich's lifebox, the chest engraved with the death knell flower...
"You mean, death knell? How can it be?! Before Ryan could finish speaking, the middle-aged pastor's eyes widened and he was interrupted by an exclamation.
"What is the death knell?"
The confusion on Ryan's face looked very real, and the priest didn't think too much about it, organized the language, and explained to him: "A scattered evil organization, mysterious and powerful, and its leaders are mostly undead. However, it stands to reason that this organization should not have appeared north of the Falling Star Sea. ”
"You mean, their range is south?" Seeing the priest nod, Ryan felt a hint of joy in his heart.
As before, these dead hidden in the darkness have not left their lair, and are still entrenched in the south. Glancing at his newfound assignment, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Laura wants Ryan to keep what happened here a secret, Ryan has a new idea after determining the other party's intentions. After making such a big detour, he just wanted to know if the person with the death knell was the same as before, and if so, then he would have a much better chance of unlocking the necklace.
Because, this organization, he knows very well!
