Chapter 41: The Forbidden Land
The original name of the Isle of Death was Bad Skammari, which means "country of birds" in the ancient Olopa lingua franca, because of the extreme abundance of bird species on the island, which had been inhabited for hundreds of years before the necromancers came to the island
The islanders had to make a living from fishing, hunting, and some primitive farming, and the islanders were dotted with villages, and even formed four very small towns that served as hubs for commodity trading
Although primitive, the inhabitants of the island live without restraint, and their life pressure is not as great as that of ordinary civilians on the mainland
This is unimaginable for the inhabitants of the mainland, who always think that the island under the rule of the undead wizard must be devoid of grass, and in such an environment, even survival is a problem, how can there be an archipelago people living so freely, of course, people who have not been to the island of death will never know or think to know the truth
Despite the fact that the island is ruled by necromancers, the Lich King strictly forbids all necromancers to kill the island's inhabitants for the simple reason that killing chickens and eggs is the most stupid thing to do
On the island of death, the Lich King is exempted from a tax on the islanders, and the only dedication that the islanders need to make for their rulers is to donate their bodies to the necromancers after death...... Anyway, when a person dies, the corpse is nothing more than a stinky skin that has lost its soul, as long as it survives well, who will lead the useless corpses - the people of the island think so, which is diametrically opposed to the view that the mainland residents attach great importance to the corpse
And no matter what the similarities and differences in views are, as long as there are human beings, there is currency, even the island of death, which is isolated from the world and has its own country, is the same, because there is also a need to trade commodities between islanders and between villages, which gives rise to the deposit of money, so the islanders are no stranger to the concept of money, but the money circulating on the island is not the common gold coins, silver coins, etc. Copper coins, but some rare and beautiful bird feathers, it would be a breeze for Owen to get some feathers from a few birds, so soon he had made enough money to hire the ox cart
Now Owen was lying comfortably in the car, closing his eyes and recuperating, he was not worried that the uncle who was driving the car would leave him on the road, and because he had not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, the inhabitants of the island still maintained a fairly simple mind, and they did not have as many fancy intestines as the inhabitants of the mainland
I don't know how long it took for Owen to finally feel the ox cart stop
Arrived, Owen asked
Yes, you can go in this forbidden place by yourself, we can't get in, said the uncle who pulled the cart
Owen opened his eyes lazily, he jumped out of the car and gave all the remaining feathers on his body to his uncle, Owen watched the uncle who pulled the cart holding the feathers and drove the ox cart back, and then Owen stepped into the forbidden land in front of him without looking back
That's right, this white place in front of you is the place where the necromancers live and practice, and it is also the area where the Lich King forbids ordinary residents of the island to enter casually: the forbidden land on the island
Walking in the thick white mist, I only felt a piercing cold coming from all over my body, this cold not only had an impact on the upper body, but even could directly hit the spirit of people, if it was an ordinary person, it would definitely turn around and flee in this cold white mist;
Stand still, a gloomy voice in the white mist stopped, Owen went back, one more step forward, and you died
Owen deaf to the voice's warning, and he continued on his way
The attitude of looking for death Owen angered the owner of the voice, since he wants to be our real product so much, then it will fulfill you
Suddenly, in the thick fog, a rusty iron sword slashed at Owen, Owen staggered, and then flew in the direction of the iron sword, and the skeleton soldier who sneaked up on him was kicked into pieces by his kick, and after knocking down the skeleton soldier, Owen didn't wait for his body to stand still, using his left foot as a support point, and his body spun to the left......
Thrust, thump, thump - Owen threw three punches in a row, and the three skeletons in his back were easily knocked out of the way
You...... Knocking down four skeleton soldiers in a row with his bare hands, Owen showed his strength, which surprised the owner of the voice, and he gritted his teeth and said, You are not a resident of this island, what the hell are you doing here
I'm here to meet the Lich King, and as for my identity, you'll naturally understand when you see the Lich King, Owen replied very blandly
Outlander, you're not a little daring, Lord Lich King, you can see it casually, I don't care who you are, either get out of here, or turn into a skeleton soldier here, and the hostile voice came from all directions
I've heard that the Lich King has laid four lines of defense on the periphery of his forbidden land, and I'd like to see how powerful these four lines of defense can be, and Owen smiled slightly
Bite off more than one can chew
As soon as the words fell, he heard a clattering and clattering sound from the white mist, and he didn't need to look at it to know that Owen was already surrounded by a large group of skeleton soldiers in the thick fog
At this time, Owen closed his eyes tightly, his vision was already useless in the fog, and he could only rely on his keen sense of hearing and smell to judge the position of the skeleton soldier and then make a counterattack
Surrounded in the middle, Owen dodged the attack of a skeleton soldier and allowed Owen to feel Owen punch and kick and knock one of the skeletons away, but as time went on, there were more and more skeletons surrounded by him, and there was less and less room for Owen to move around
At this time, on a tall stone rock less than 50 meters away from the battlefield, sat a scrawny man, he was wearing a dark green magic robe, wearing a large felt hat, he was stroking a skull on his knees with his hand, only to see that the skull's eye sockets were emitting a chilling green light, this man was the necromancer who created this fog and manipulated the skeleton soldiers to attack Owen, at this time, he was watching with interest the battle between Owen and the skeleton soldiers below, although this white fog obscured the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the caster who created this mist, it was as transparent as clear water
Hahaha...... Well, you stinky boy, no matter how much you struggle, you will definitely run out of body in this sea of skeleton soldiers, and you are not qualified to fight with me, the man said, his eerie voice sounded everywhere, and it was impossible to tell where the speaker was hiding
Owen, who was fighting below, heard his words, but he didn't panic at all, he fought back and smiled as he said: So you are the one who controls these skeletons, then I just need to knock you down
Interesting, but can you find out where I am, the necromancer named Rajdon laughed
You're wrong, and although you've used echo spells to hide your location, you've not hidden the sound of your heartbeat
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, and Rajerton was startled, and he quickly turned his head to find Owen standing behind him
You...... Rajdon turned his head to look into the center of the battlefield and saw that Owen was still fighting with the army of skeletons, why are there two of you?
Before Rajerton could recover from his surprise, Owen, who was standing behind him, suddenly touched the skull in his hand with his hand, only to see that the green light in the skull's eye socket suddenly extinguished, and in an instant, the large group of skeleton soldiers who were still fighting suddenly scattered into a skeleton, and then the cold white mist slowly disappeared
What the hell have you done, Rajdon said angrily
I just blocked your magic energy, and Owen behind him said in an inconsequential tone, and then I saw Owen's figure suddenly become transparent, and quickly floated towards Owen who was standing in a large pile of broken skeletons below, and the two Owen fused together
It was the soul separation technique just now, why did Rajdon think it was very incredible, even if Owen knew how to use the long-lost soul separation technique, but how could he make his body still move and fight without losing his soul, but if Rajdon knew that Owen was using telekinesis to make himself move, then he wouldn't feel strange
However, Owen ignored the surprised necromancer, only to see him step over the pile of bones and continue walking, completely oblivious to Rajdon standing on the boulder
Where are you going, we haven't won or lost yet, and we are not willing to be ignored by the other party, Rajedon shouted
You've lost the value of fighting, I just want to see the Lich King, and I'm not interested in taking your life, and Owen doesn't look back, leaving the frightened and angry necromancer in a daze
Owen continued to walk, he had already walked through the woods to an open flat land, only to see that there was no grass on this flat land, only black, dry soil, and a fat man in gray necromancer clothes, holding a dry bone magic pole, standing opposite Owen at a distance of 100 meters
Aren't you going to hide your whereabouts Owen said to the fat necromancer
There's no need to be fat, the necromancer shook his head, I'm not a cowering coward like Rajdon
Owen didn't continue to speak, he closed his eyes and silently prepared for the next battle
Don't play that little trick with me, I've seen the fight you fought Rajdon just now, fat necromancer, now it's up to me to manipulate this 'mire of death' Festolin to send you to hell
Death Mire
Yes, the ground beneath your feet
As soon as Festolin finished speaking, Owen only felt the ground under his feet keep shaking, and the black, dry, stiff soil turned into damp, soft mud in an instant, and Owen was caught off guard and sunk into his feet
Oops, Owen secretly screamed bad.
