Chapter 167: The Key

You still can't use the Scroll Back to the City, but with the Deterrence Skill, Nie Yan can now go to the temple to take a look.

Nie Yan led the five headless horsemen who had just succeeded in the order, and walked towards the ancient and magnificent temple building in the distance, looking towards the entrance of the temple, hundreds of headless horsemen were bustling there, neatly arranged, guarding the entrance of the temple, and once any creature approached, they would not hesitate to wave their knight guns.

The doors of the temple were closed and solemn.

Nie Yan used his deterrent skill and cautiously approached these headless horsemen.

Entering Nie Yan's deterrent range, the horses under the headless horsemen trembled and moved out of the way to both sides.

The array of Headless Horsemen seemed to have been torn apart from the middle, making way for them, and they stood on either side like a group of soldiers waiting to be reviewed.

Seeing that deterrence was working against the Headless Horsemen, Nie Yan walked towards the temple gate, passing through the headless horsemen.

Next to it is a dense number of knight guns, giving people a chilly feeling.

Five Headless Horsemen followed him as they made their way through him.

When he arrived at the door of the main hall, the towering gate gave people a heavy sense of oppression, Nie Yan pushed the door with his hand, the door made a creaking sound, slowly opened a slit, and a beam of light projected into it, illuminating the oppressive darkness in front.

System: You discovered the Temple of Knight Dora.

It seems that in the history of Atlanta, there is no such god as Doro, and there is no way to know what kind of god he is, and it may have been established by some small race or small tribe.

With doubts, Nie Yan walked towards the front, this is an extremely open hall, paved with white stones covered with prints, extending to the front, the hall of about 500*500 yards, it seems extremely open, and can even accommodate the next hundred knights to practice here. The tall pillars in the middle, the three of them can hug each other, and they are not high, as if they have been extending to the endless void.

Nie Yan walked towards the center of the main hall, and the silence around him was so silent that only the footsteps of Nie Yan and the five headless horsemen behind him spread out in the open space. On the shrine opposite, a candle emits a dim glow, swaying in the wind, as if it will be extinguished at any moment.

Halfway through, Nie Yan found that there was a bookshelf placed next to the main hall, with a few heavy books, the cover of the book was wrapped in tin gold, but it was a little gray, it should have been a long time. Several of them were written in human script, with the words 'Evidence of Knight Dora', 'Legend of Knight Dora', etc., and two were written in some unknown script.

You have found books left over from the ancient days of co-rule that chronicle the life of the knight Dora. ’

Nie Yan took out the evidence of Knight Doro's guilt and slowly turned the page.

'Dora, do you confess your sins, I judge you in the name of God, may the light cleanse your sinful soul Dora: please send me to hell and become an immortal spirit'

Doro is a legendary knight in Greenland, who fought bravely and killed countless enemies in the war to expel the Black Elves, but eventually he got tired of killing and spared two Black Elf girls during a hunt. Later, Dora was found to have dragon blood and was hanged in the Temple of Light, and the bishop hung his head above the city gate, but Dora was resurrected and left the temple with his dead horse. Since then, Greenland has had a legend of the Headless Horseman, and many residents of Greenland have seen the Headless Horseman wandering.

Nie Yan glanced at the many books, reached for the other two books, and when he touched one of the books, a magical power entered his body, and a paragraph of text was reflected in his mind.

'Noble warrior Doro, may your soul rest in peace, Black Elf Maiden, Sha. ’

System: You learned the Black Elf.

Nie Yan took a look, this book is an ode, which can appease the undead, and after a general look at the words and phrases in it, he put the book back, these things have no practical meaning, but learning the black elf language is a big gain for him.

Nie Yan reached out for another book, and a bone-chilling chill rose up from his spine, this book contained a powerful death power, which seemed to devour all life.

System: You learned the Vambia Undead Language.

The Vambia Necromancers are a small branch of the undead, necromancers who live beneath the belongings of northern Greenland and spend their days in cold, lifeless cemeteries, dancing with the dead, spreading plague and preaching death.

I took a look at the booklet.

Doro's Book of the Dead (Sub-Legendary Item): Honor the dead!

Item Surname: When holding this item, the caste of all creatures within 50 yards of the vicinity is reduced by 50% (including the player), and the dead player is cursed by the undead, and the surname is -10% for 2 natural days. The player is cursed with -2 Strength, -2 Constitution, and +10 Intelligence for every 10 Natures.

This item binds when picked up.

System: Are you binding the item?

Nie Yan hurriedly put down Doro's Book of Death, this is obviously an item of a necromancer, only necromancers dare to use such a terrifying thing, once they hold this Book of Death, it means that the necromancer will embark on the path of extreme perversion, and in the end he will die a miserable death, or he will achieve something, it is difficult to say. Every tenth nature is said to be weakened in strength and physique, and this is no joke. However, the extreme development of intelligence may give birth to a deformed monster.

I learned the language of the Van Bia undead, and I can't use it for the time being, but maybe it will be in the future, and if I understand the undead language, it will be very useful when I come into contact with the undead of the enemy camp.

Putting down Doro's Book of Death, he searched the shelves and found nothing else, then walked in the direction of the shrine.

Under the dim candlelight of the shrine, a black box was quietly placed there, carved very exquisitely, and the beautiful words of the black elf were like ornaments, dotted on the outside of the box, and under the light of the candle flame, reflecting the charming brilliance of the Dao.

Strange box!

It was as if there was a mysterious power calling Nie Yan.

Nie Yan asked a headless horseman to step forward and test it, but he didn't find any danger, so he walked up slowly, and carefully opened the black box, fortunately, there was no trigger mechanism.

Inside the box is made of red cloth as the base, and a dark gold key is quietly placed, this key is only the size of a little finger, and it is extremely delicately made, and the strange and strange carving process is breathtaking.

Key! Seeing this key, Nie Yan immediately remembered the dark gold treasure chest outside!

This key was most likely used to open that dark gold chest!

Nie Yan put away the dark gold key and put it in his backpack, a dark gold treasure chest is quite valuable, no matter how bad the things are inside, at least they must be dark gold-level items!

At this moment, there was a loud bang at the door of the main hall, the door was opened, and a tall headless horseman with a heavy black armor appeared at the door of the temple, he was much taller than the ordinary headless horseman, and the giant knight's spear five yards long exuded a cold murderous aura.

Nie Yan threw a reconnaissance on the headless horseman.

Headless Horseman Doro: Level 30 lord with 28000/28000 HP.

Nie Yan gasped, it turned out to be a level 30 lord, in this small temple, when he met a level 30 lord, he was definitely dead! I took out the city return scroll and looked at it, and found that the city return scroll still couldn't be used.

The headless horseman Doro drove the horses under his feet, brandished the knight's spear and rushed towards Nie Yan, and a powerful aura of death emanated.

Deterrence has very limited effect on elite and lord-tier creatures.

When it was over, Nie Yan hurriedly asked the headless horseman beside him to drive the horses under his feet and rushed towards the headless horseman Doro, blocking the headless horseman Doro's impact.

Nie Yan knew that these headless horsemen would definitely not be able to stop the headless horseman Doro, and he turned around to run, when some skeletal hands suddenly stretched out on the ground, firmly grasping him, making it impossible for him to escape.

Nie Yan struggled for a moment, and the skeletal hands grasped him firmly, making him unable to move.

The next moment, Nie Yan discovered something that surprised him, the headless horseman Doro actually passed through the five headless horsemen and rushed towards him, it was too weird, could this headless horseman Doro just be a phantom?

The Headless Horseman Doro got closer and closer, raised the knight's spear, and saw that it was about to penetrate Nie Yan's body in the next moment.

System: Do you want to believe that Doro is innocent?

Option 1, yes, Doro is innocent; Option 2, I need more evidence before I can make a decision; Option 3, Doro is innocent of death.

Nie Yan thought for a moment, and his keen intuition made him quickly make a decision in a few seconds and choose the second option. Justice, faithfulness, freedom, courage, wisdom, and so on are the true meaning of faith.

Poof, the headless horseman Doro's knight spear pierced Nie Yan's heart, blood splattered.

Am I wrong? Nie Yan's eyes darkened and he fell.

I don't know how long it took, Nie Yan woke up in a daze, and found that he had fallen on the cold stone of the altar, and the surroundings were still empty and desolate, as if he had a dream, as if everything that had happened before was illusory, and after looking at the backpack, the chapter of courage and freedom were still there, and the title of intermediate demon hunter was also there. Although it is not known what exactly it is useful for, and it does not have any caste bonus, it should be beneficial and harmless.

It seems that the headless horseman Doro at the end is just a mission.

What made Nie Yan excited was that he finally came out of that mission map and held it in for six or seven days!

Nie Yan got up, moved his somewhat stiff body, and his eyes fell on the corner of the backpack, where a black key was shining!
