Chapter 502: The Ship of Bones, Road Encounter, New Servant
Chapter 502 The Boat of Bones, Lu Encounter, New Servant
"Your Excellency, are we going to cross the river?"
A group of devils stood on the banks of the magnificent "Yellow Spring Water" for a quarter of an hour before Moriarty stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
Generally speaking, to cross the river of the dead, it is necessary to use special boats, otherwise just ordinary wooden boats will not be able to float on the water of the Yellow Spring, and even before they are launched, they will be completely swallowed up by the surging river.
"No, we're going to go upstream."
Senya Oren shook her head, then waved her hand directly. Immediately, a ray of light shone from under the queen of lies' robes, and then fell straight onto the rolling waves.
"This is!?"
When the light dissipated, a long ship with a length of 20 meters and a body made of white bones appeared in front of the devil's extremists.
As soon as he entered the river, a misty gray cloud appeared on the white bone boat, enveloping the whole ship like a cloud, and it could not be dispersed. After a while, the mist gathered more and more, deposited and touched the river. Immediately, the water under the boat rolled up like boiling soup, and a large group of water bubbles "cooed" up, enveloping the entire side of the ship.
Under the gaze of the devils, more and more bubbles rose from the water, and they began to slowly lift the entire bone ship. Eventually, even the bottom of the boat was lifted out of the water by strands of blisters, and the whole ship looked like a special airship half-suspended in the waters of the Yellow Springs.

"Heh, the ship of bones, it really lives up to its name."
Looking at the bone boat floating on the river, Moriarty smiled silently.
In fact, it is recorded in many classics that if you want to cross the water of the Yellow Spring, in addition to flying directly into the air, the only thing that can be used as a means of transportation is the "Ship of Bones" made of the secret art of the undead.
Legend has it that this special boat built from the bones of the corpses not only has the strength to resist the "non-floating rule" of the Yellow Spring, but can also use the power of the necromancy in the river to provide an inexhaustible power for the boat.
"So. Let me see what this ship of bones really looks like. ”
As an alchemist, Moriarty was not satisfied with the superficial glimpse, and when the light of magic faintly lit up in his eyes, a completely different picture appeared in his field of vision.
Through the analysis and filtering of magical power, the surface color and light of the present world are completely stripped away: it turns out that it is not a simple string of blisters that lies under the bone boat and completely holds it up. And a group of unkempt, fleshy and fleshy, wailing in pain, but had to use their shoulders and arms to carry the heavy boat.
That's how it is...
The brilliance of the magic is visible and hidden, but it is enough for Moriarty to see the essence and truth of the matter. Sure enough, it is the style of a necromancer, all of whom use the power of death to respond to the various needs of this world. However, there are not too many of these genuine ships of bones, and I don't know where Senya Oren got them.
"Get on board."
Without any explanation, the Queen of Lies was the first to board the Bone Boat, and the other devils immediately followed.
Without the jolting and shaking of the usual boats, when Moriati's feet stepped onto the bone-lined deck, he felt as smooth as the ground, without even a hint of trembling.
Then. As if receiving a silent command, the Bone Boat slowly moved from slow to fast, and began to drive towards the northwest in the direction of the water of the Yellow Spring.
Unlike on land, when the boat is on the river of the dead, the surrounding water vapor and death energy are even more congested, and even the devil's extreme path will feel uncomfortable, so they will release their power slightly to isolate the soaking of the necromantic breath. Only Senya Oren and Moriarty looked the same. There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. Of course, the queen of lies is because of her extraordinary strength. Moriarty, on the other hand, has a negative energy realm that allows him to thrive even in the current environment.
"It takes about a week or so to sail." Sitting down at the bow of the ship, Senia Oren only said lightly, and there was no more explanation.
Seeing this, the other five powerhouses couldn't ask more, so they had to find a place to stay. We're here anyway. As soon as you behave, you can only obey the queen of lies.
Leaning against the stern of the boat, however, Moriarty looked at the heavy dark clouds and bleak light of the distant sky, but his face sank like water.
As the natives of the Antagriqi Continent, the other devils may not know what is in the distant upper reaches, but Moriarty is vaguely aware. It is the mysterious source of the Yellow Spring's water, a forbidden place filled with the energy of the raging undead and the rules of terrifying death. It is rumored that even pure necromancers or necromancers would not dare to set foot in it, otherwise they might be annihilated directly.
Could it be that the Mystery Garden could really be in such a terrifying and extreme environment? Or, this time, it was a trick by the Queen of Lies, who was actually planning some other covert conspiracy?
Thinking about it, Moriarty's mind rolled, but he couldn't find a reliable answer.
And for a few days, the ship of bones moved smoothly on the water of the Yellow Spring. There was nothing out of the ordinary, and there were no other undead creatures to disturb it, it was like an outing voyage.
It wasn't until the fourth day that several dark shadows suddenly appeared in the distance in the sky. At first, it was just a few small points, and it seemed that I was going to cross the river from north to south. However, when they soon approached, they spotted the boats on the river, and after circling for a week, the shadows landed on the bone boats as swiftly as eagles.
It was a group of vampires dressed in uniform red and black, and at the head of it was a powerful Blood Count!
"I am Earl Shelley of House Dirrant. Now I declare that you, and this bone boat, are all requisitioned immediately! ”
With the usual elegance of the blood clan and the domineering momentum of the superiors, the Blood Earl stared slightly at the six people in front of him. Behind him, the other blood clan viscounts and barons stepped forward in a half-surrounded manner, surrounding the group of ferrymen with a faint breath and a concealed appearance.
And looking at this group of uninvited guests, the five Extreme Daoists, including Moriarty, were motionless, just waiting for the reaction of the Queen of Lies at the bow of the ship.
"You're from the Dylrant family? So, the Marquis of Sevia...", without angrily reprimanding or directly attacking, Senya Oren raised her head slightly and asked lightly.
"The Marquis of Seville is my 'parent'." Glancing at the strange guy in black robe in front of him with some strange surprises, Count Blood smiled slightly: "Since you know Lord Marquis, you should know the name of my Dyron family's 'gentleness'. As long as you follow orders honestly, I think you still have a good chance of living well. Of course, if you still wish to try to resist, then becoming a Blood Slave will be your final destination. ”
And when the words of the high-ranking blood clan fell, a vampire viscount on the side stepped forward and shouted at the six people: "Now, take off your hoods, and go to the stern to line up!" ”
It's a pity that until the viscount's roar was blown away by the river wind, the six people did not move at all.
Immediately, the vampires were a little angry.
"Hehe, it seems that the communication just now did not achieve the effect I expected. Sacrifice your flesh and soul to become an eternal slave of the noble blood. ”
Finally, Shelley, the Earl of Blood, sneered and waved his hand lightly, and the surrounding vampires pounced on the six targets like wolves.
For a while, the blood and qi on the bone boat surged, and the wind shadow was vertical and horizontal.
But alas, the next moment, a faint starlight flashed, and then a shower of stars fell from the void, covering the entire ship of bones. And in the little light, all the bloods, including Shelley, seemed to be immobilized, motionless. Even the vampires, who were still doing fluttering or attacking movements, suddenly seemed to be wax sculptures, or stood stiff in place, or fell to the ground due to a loss of balance.
"You... You... You..."
Even the dignified Blood Count and the high-level vampire couldn't even speak normally in the flying of the dark stars, but only made intermittent trills in fear and mechanically, while a pair of eyes looked distractedly at the hood in front of them, but it was a thin figure from the source of all starlight.
"The Bloods are interesting creatures, somewhere between life and necromancy, yet arrogantly calling themselves 'immortals' or 'nobles of the night'. In fact, despite appearances, they are nothing more than a group of parasites based on blood. Ignoring Earl Shelley's horrified gaze, Senya Oren chuckled and turned her head sideways to the five behind her.
"Your Excellency, what to do with them?"
Now that the Queen of Lies has taken action herself, the devils have no scruples. An extreme path directly pinched a certain blood baron in front of him in his hand, and at the same time, a huge amount of dark power poured out in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, this "poor" vampire was corroded and ground clean, leaving not even a trace of dregs. In addition to Moriarty, several other devils also grabbed the nearby blood clan and directly crushed them violently.
Obviously, the days of boring journeys and ascetic silence had diminished the patience of the devil's powerhouses, and now they were eager to kill when they seized the opportunity.
As for the demons' limited violent outlets, the Queen of Lies did not stop it, and only raised her hand when the vampires were left with only five. Immediately, the devil powerhouses stopped their movements and returned to static.
"You are lucky, Earl Shelley, I need just a few servants on my boat, so your life will be preserved for the time being. However, in order to serve me better, a little 'memory correction' is still quite necessary. ”
As Senya Oren's words fell, five stars flew out from front of her at the same time, plunging into the five remaining Bloodlines in the blink of an eye. Immediately, a real aura lit up, and Shelley and the other four vampires suddenly became extremely hollow, and at the same time, a series of changing expressions appeared on the faces of the five people in succession.
Then, when a minute passed, the dreamy light and shadow faded, and the eyes of the blood clan also returned to clarity.
"My lord, Shelley. Durant is here to hear from you. ”
With the Blood Earl taking the lead, the five vampires knelt down on one knee at the same time, bowing their once proud heads deeply to the Queen of Lies. (To be continued......) I1292
