The place of worship of more than 1,000 square meters should have been a small valley with beautiful scenery and green grass. As can be seen from the historical records, it is warm and humid all year round due to the mountains, and it is a paradise for flowers and small animals. When the sacrificial procession arrives here, they bow to the ancestors in the fragrance of flowers, praying that the heroic spirits of the ancestors will still bless the tribe and bless this vast grassland in the coming year. When the orcs bow to their ancestors, the little animals that are not afraid of life will always gather around the people, and look at this group of big guys with curious eyes to make some movements that they cannot understand, and humans and beasts have reached a certain degree of harmony in this place where the soul lives.

But now, there are no flowers, no grass, no animals, no prostrations, and this place has now become a place of decay ruled by death.

In the very center of the valley, a mountain of bones stands in the valley, and the base occupies almost the entire valley. The mountain of bones is not high, about ten meters or so, and on the top of the mountain there is a throne made of white bones, and a bone knight with whiter bones than other skeletons sits firmly on the throne, looking down on the intruding crowd from a high place. This skeleton is very strange, it looks like the type is a bone knight, but it has no mount, and the strength rank cannot be judged. Seeing the five people who broke in, it didn't blindly attack the large group of undead outside, nor did it sneak attack or run away like the bone knight he saw at the beginning, he just sat calmly on the throne, the soul fire in his eyes beating slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Looks like that's one of the things we're looking for. Catherine looked up at the throne on the high place, and wondered at the composure of the other party: "Pennis, do you expect this undead to communicate normally? Like Anne." ”

"Hmm, do you think skeletons can speak?" said with a wry smile, "Anne can communicate because of the soul voice of the ghost family, as for skeletons, they don't have the ability to speak at all, no matter how intelligent they are, it is impossible to communicate." ”

With a "whew", the skeleton on the throne raised its arm, and its jaws closed to make a strange clicking sound, and the twenty skeleton knights surrounding the throne seemed to hear some order, and commanded the mount to stomp its feet neatly, and it broke out with a compelling momentum.

"Looks like it understood. Catherine was surprised, "But we don't understand what it says." ”

"Call Annie, don't let her out, just talk through the charm. Pannis thought for a moment and decided to make an attempt: "Let her try and see if she can translate the other party's words, after all, the communication between the undead is not by language, but by the interaction of spirits, maybe she can understand." By the way, don't let her come out directly. ”

"I understand that in the event of a war, our skills will be too easy to accidentally injure her. Catherine nodded, moved her fingers to her chest, tapped Anne's nest lightly, lowered her voice and said, "Anne, you hear me, can you understand what the man said?"

Half of a girl's face suddenly appeared on Catherine's chest, and Anne looked at the skeleton on the throne with one eye, and replied with half her mouth, "I have a better way to have you speak directly to him." ”

"Huh?" Catherine was surprised by the answer, and asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"It's something I'm born with. Anne was silent for a minute before she replied proudly: "Okay, now you can try, just talk to him normally, you should already be able to understand." ”

"Is that simple?" Catherine was a little incredulous, but tentatively raised her voice, and shouted to the skeleton in the height, "Mr. Skeleton, now that you have your sanity, can you talk about it first?"

"You ...... Step into my kingdom!" A low, but majestic voice came, not from the skeleton's mouth, but from the air around his entire body: "Are you ready to bear the wrath of this king?"

"Your kingdom?" Catherine retorted with a straight face, "This steppe has been a pasture for orcs since the Third Age, when did it become your kingdom?"

"Orcs, they've abandoned this place, haven't they? they've abandoned this ancestral shrine. The skeleton slammed to its feet from its throne, its voice filled with anger, "Since this land has become borderland, of course this king can occupy it. ”

"Sophistry. Although the skeleton's momentum is sufficient, Lina's body bursts out with a majesty that is enough to overwhelm him: "The orcs will give up here, isn't it because under your control, the energy of death spreads here, causing the undead to run rampant?"

"Nonsense. Skeletron's momentum suffocated, and his voice became a little quieter: "What does the expansion of death energy have to do with this king? This king is just ...... Bastard, you actually take the king's words. ”

"Eldest sister, it seems that it is indeed right. The four members of the adventure group glanced at each other, and Lina nodded, "Wise skeletons are just a by-product, and the real reason for the increasing death energy needs to be investigated more deeply." ”

"Are you fooling this king?" the Skeleton King was furious, and the twenty skeleton knights beside him stepped forward a few steps at the same time, and the swords in their hands pointed directly at the people under the bone mountain: "In forty-seven years, no one has dared to tease this king like this, and this king will make you pay." ”

"It's only forty-seven years since you had consciousness. Vivien held the notebook in her hand, looked down and quickly recorded on it, "Do you remember when you first became conscious, do you remember who you were?"

"Well, it seems that I suddenly regained consciousness at that time, although I still remember who I was, and even remember how I died, but I can't remember what happened after death at all, by the way, it's like waking up suddenly when I was sleepwalking, and I can only remember what happened before I fell asleep. Vivien's question made Skeletron scratch his head, and it took him a long time to answer. As soon as he replied a few words, Skeletron suddenly reacted, angrily waving the leg bone used as a scepter in his hand, and roared angrily: "Pay for your rudeness, bastard, go up to the guards, crush them." ”

Although it is a conscious undead that can influence and control other undead of the same kind by will, and does not need to be commanded verbally at all, Skeletron in a rage seems to have forgotten, waving his hands to give orders to the guards around him. The twenty golden-rank skeleton knights acting as guards acted at the same time, and the seated goat raised its front hooves to make the final preparations before charging.

"Wait a minute. Catherine suddenly raised her hand to stop her: "There's still something to be done." ”

"What's the matter? Do you have any last words?" Catherine's abrupt reaction made Skeletron subconsciously stop the charge of the guards, but the knights who had already run, especially the knights who were rushing down from a height, were so easy to stop, the momentum of the charge and the opposite order made the knights mess up, and two of them couldn't even control the tendency to rush forward, falling directly from the back of the bone goat, rolling down the bone mountain.

The chaos in front of him instantly diluted the solemn atmosphere that Skeletron could create before, and the two skeleton knights who rolled down from the bone mountain made several people under the mountain cover their faces together, and they couldn't bear to look at it.

"Bastard, asshole, laugh what a laugh. Skeletron's majestic voice suddenly became sharp, but immediately returned to its original form: "If you dare to laugh again, I will chop you to pieces." ”

"But we weren't laughing. Skeletron's strange and funny reaction slowly relaxed the tense spirits of the five people, and Pannis leaned into Catherine's ear and whispered a few words, Catherine showed a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said loudly: "Look, there is still plenty of time, and we still have some questions to ask, let's chat first and then fight, shall we?"

"I ...... This king doesn't want to talk to you at all. Skeletron waved his leg bones and said, "This king only wants to destroy you trespassers." ”

"But if you wipe us out so quickly, you won't be able to talk. Catherine didn't seem to care at all about the threat of the twenty Golden Bone Knights, nor did she care about the pressure of this strange undead of unknown strength in front of her, and said in a calm and soft tone: "Don't you feel sorry for that?"

The Skeleton King was silent like a mystery, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly woke up, and said angrily: "Nonsense, this king has no regrets at all, this king doesn't want to chat with you living people, give it to me, and squash on them." ”

"Bang. The silver-white crystal bottle flew out in a spun and flew out, smashing accurately on a bone knight, and the silver liquid spilled out of the broken crystal bottle, splashing the bone knight all over his body. Even if Vivien didn't cast a spell or manipulate it, the liquid containing a high concentration of light attribute energy was an extremely strong poison for the body of the undead. The Bone Knight who was splashed with liquid was like an ordinary human who had been soaked in strong acid, and his bones were melted by light energy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a mass of bone meal.

The sudden change caused the other nineteen skeleton knights to stop, and they obviously did not have the ability to think but took a few steps backwards at the same time, showing the fear of the manipulator behind them at this time. The scene made the five of them look at each other and laugh, and Vivien, with a mischievous smile in her eyes, pulled out another crystal bottle and threw it forward. The Bone Knights were so frightened by the whole movement that they retreated again, and the five of them did not stay where they were, but began to approach the Bone Mountain step by step, and soon approached Skeletron, who controlled the knights around him.

"You see, we are also very powerful, if it is not for a large group of skeletons, we are not afraid at all......" Penis bared his teeth and made a fierce look, and said to Skeletron: "Your guards can't step on us, now that the situation is reversed, is it our turn to beat you together?"

"You, you, you. Skeletron pointed at Pannis, who seemed to be trying to eat people, his voice suddenly became sharp and crisp again, and he hugged his head and cried: "Wow, wow, wow, someone is bullying me, Mom, I miss you so much, come and save me." (To be continued.) )
