Chapter 304: Suddenly I had an epiphany
At the end of the tunnel, a raised platform.
Standing on the edge of the platform, looking down, they could see the sparkling fires dancing involuntarily above the river.
There was a gentle and peaceful wind on the river, bringing the distant singing sound to it, and only a few words could be heard at the edge of this platform, but it was enough to move everyone.
A figure passed peacefully in front of them in a paper boat or wooden boat.
"This is the river of the dead."
Sanger explained in a low voice:
"The path I chose was a shortcut to Icesaw Valley, and once we crossed the River of the Dead, we would only be about two days away from Icesaw Valley. Even if Biroth wanted to make a move in the second half, she wouldn't have a chance. β
River of the Dead.
Xu Nan nodded silently.
As a part of the multiverse, the world of the dead has always been a relatively independent piece, and the monarchs of the dead rarely appear outside of the world of the dead, and they are only responsible for maintaining order and balance in the world of the dead.
Although there are undead creatures such as lichs and undead who are active in the world, and there are also various necromantic magics that prevail in the world, people still know very little about the world of the dead.
Most people only know that the monarch of the world of the dead has supreme authority and is an existence that can be equal to the main god of the heavenly realm.
Generally speaking, even the madmen of the abyss would not easily provoke the world of the dead.
The devil and the demons, not so much.
Therefore, the status of the world of the dead is quite transcendent, and near the river of the dead, which represents the world of the dead to attract the souls of the multiverse, there are also powerful [Mercer Knights] patrolling, no one dares to stir up trouble in this vicinity, otherwise it is equivalent to provoking the majesty of the monarch of the world of the dead!
Sanger chose to take this path, probably to minimize the chances of Biroth possibly making a move!
After all, no matter how bold Biroth was, she would not dare to provoke the monarch of the world of the dead when she almost provoked the three gods of the Heavenly Realm and the primeval world.
If she had any thoughts about the Mark of Misdirection, then the road after crossing the River of the Dead was her only chance.
And it is not difficult to see from Sanger's tone that he must have made arrangements for the follow-up journey.
Thinking of this, Xu Nan was also a lot more relieved.
"But how do we get there?"
"The river of the dead doesn't seem to be something that the living can cross, right? Do we need undead bodies? β
Xu Nan put forward his own ideas.
He himself has the ability to incarnate as an undead early on, and the rest of the people can also be solved with spells.
It is believed that with the magic skills of the lich Sanger, it is not a big problem to temporarily turn the state of several people into undead.
"You want to try to deceive the holder of the Pact of Life?"
Sanger shrugged: "It's almost impossible, don't say I'm just a god lich, even if I'm a supreme lich, I'm afraid I can't do that." β
"The Life Contract is the biggest secret of the world of the dead, and it's okay for you to use spells to pretend to be a ghost elsewhere, but it won't work here, see that black knight? He is only an eye of the king, and it is impossible for you to hide his ...... from what you do."
The lich said, pointing to a dark shadow on the other side.
Everyone looked over in unison and looked at the shadow for a long time, and the shadow did not make any rash moves, as if they had not seen the legendary team at all.
He lingered for a while, then rode away.
This should be the [Knight of Mercer] who patrols the River of the Dead.
They possess incredible power within the realm of the world of the dead.
"And how do we get there?"
Lilac couldn't help but be curious: "Swim over?" Or fly over? β
"But I can't fly yet......"
Sanger laughed and said:
"Swim over? It's a really good idea. β
"Maybe you're swimming and you're turning into a real skeleton...... Well, I'm not kidding. β
Under Xu Nan's urging gaze, Sanger shrugged:
"We didn't have to do anything, we just had to wait for a ferryman."
"This river is not just the River of the Dead, it is the site of a very famous ancient event that I am too complicated to explain to you...... What you need to remember is that there is a partial overlap between the River of the Dead and the freshwater lake of the underworld, the Lake of Eaters, and there is a ferryman on the Lake of Hearts that I am familiar with, and he will take us there. β
"Do you see the piers up and down the river?"
"The only thing we need to do is to divide our hands and spread them out on these docks......"
β¦β¦
In Sanger's introduction, everyone learned a little about the history of the River of the Dead and the Lake of Hearts.
To put it simply, before the River of the Dead officially flowed through this place, there was a huge lake called the Hearteater Lake in the underground world of the main material realm. Something happened in this lake, so after the River of the Dead flowed through here, the lake itself did not disappear, but overlapped with the River of the Dead to a certain extent.
Sanger himself doesn't know the cause of this overlap, but it's certain that it creates a bug that can be used.
The conscientious ferrymen on the Heart-Eater Lake are free to enter and exit both ends of the River of the Dead.
He and his ship, along with the other passengers on board, could pass through the River of the Deadβor rather, they were only passing through the overlapping parts of the Lake of the Hearteater and the River of the Dead.
Both the Mercer Knight and the Dead Monarch have acquiesced in the existence of such bugs.
When Sanger was younger, he used to be the ferryman's boat β a big part of why this shortcut existed.
It's just that the ferryman of the Heart-Eater Lake is also a very strange existence in itself.
Because of the big event at the beginning, he obtained a state of near immortality, and he would provide ferry services for passengers on both sides of the Heart-Eating Lake, and all the passengers needed to pay was to answer him a question.
Of course, this question cannot be lied.
Otherwise, you may be thrown directly into the Heart-Eater Lake or the River of the Dead by the ferryman, the former will be lucky enough to escape alive, and the latter will basically be gone......
In addition to this, the dock where the ferryman's boat docks is also random.
According to Sanger's observations, there are five piers on the east shore of Heart-Eater Lake, and these piers have their own names when they were discovered, namely [Old Man's Wharf 1] to [Old Man's Wharf 5].
Someone has to be waiting at every pier, and as soon as the ferryman shows up, the first signal must be given to summon the others.
Because the time for the ferryman to wait at the pier is usually not very long.
Five docks, theoretically only five people are needed.
But in order to prevent accidents, Sanger still carried out the following scheduling allocation:
Four legends, each of whom is responsible for an old man's pier alone - Sanger himself sits in the old man's pier 1, Ben. Frank is Pier 2, Akun is 3, Evelyn is 4; The last pier was waited by Luo Song, Lilac and Liuyi.
There's a reason for this distribution.
"Although I don't know if it's more due to the Heart Devouring Lake or the River of the Dead, people who stay on the old man's dock for a long time are prone to hallucinations of different degrees, often stunned and in a daze at first, and gradually lose their souls if the subsequent development is more serious."
"In order to prevent this, the best thing to do is to keep talking, so the three of you, be sure to keep chatting......"
Sanger solemnly told Luo Song to trio.
Luo Song opened his mouth, and stopped talking.
Lilac frowned and remained silent.
Or June 1 aggrieved and authentic:
"We don't talk very well!"
Xu Nan thought for a moment and asked, "You just need to keep them in a high-intensity state of talking, right?" β
Sanger glanced at Xu Nan and nodded:
"Theoretically, there are other ways, but it's just to maintain their mental state."
Xu Nan took out a magic wand and said happily:
"If you don't know how to talk."
"Just let him talk to you."
β¦β¦
On the old man's pier 5, how Luo Song, Lilac and Xiao Liuyi chatted happily with the noisy wand was no longer the focus of Xu Nan's concern.
As the only supernumerary, he has his own job - in layman's terms, it is the professional escort of four legends!
To be more specific, it is to patrol piers 1 to 4 on a regular basis, check the mental state of the four legends, and occasionally say a few words to them to make sure that they do not hallucinate due to long periods of solitude before the ferryman comes.
Sanger repeatedly emphasized the difference of the old man's wharf, which made Xu Nan dare not be careless.
He had to make sure that every legend on the dock had a chat with him at least once in two hours......
Well, that should be enough.
After the grouping was ready, Xu Nan first visited Ben on Pier 2. Frank.
Because Sanger has the highest rank, Xu Nan arranged the chat with him at the end, and he was ready to patrol according to 23451.
Although Dock 5 has a noisy wand, in theory, Xu Nan doesn't need to interfere in the past, but he is also afraid that the noisy wand is too strong and directly scolds the other three for being autistic, which will lead to a small probability event that the hallucinations will appear faster.
As for Sanger, who made him rank high?
Of course, professional escorts can only put him at the end.
Xu Nan and Ben. Frank's chat was somewhat unremarkable.
As early as after Ron's tomb, Xu Nan could feel that there seemed to be an inexplicable rift between the two, and after the Valhalla came out, this feeling was even more obvious.
Perhaps it's the part about Ron's legacy and entropy's authority, so that Ben. Frank became suspicious of Xu Nan's motives.
Xu Nan confessed his identity as a Ron Warlock, which somewhat alleviated Ben's doubts.
It's a pity that he knows very little about the authority of Entropy, and he can't reveal too much of the secret of Paradise Lost to this temple marauder, so he can only talk about what he knows about Ron the edge of secrecy as much as possible.
This makes Ben. Frank's attitude towards Xu Nan has improved.
It's a pity that there is too much time for Xu Nan to say more, so he can only say goodbye to Ben in a hurry and go to the next dock.
β¦β¦
Pier 2.
Ah Kun sat on the ground, his bright bald head looking extra eye-catching under the soft dock torch.
Before Xu Nan got closer, he felt that the "qi" around him was rushing towards his body.
Even if the immortal body has natural dominance over these qi, Xu Nan can't snatch Ah Kun at all!
This is the true legendary warrior monk.
"Senior Ah Kun looks really beautiful when he meditates."
"It's a pity ......"
He glanced down at the weeping ring in his hand, and couldn't help but blame himself.
"Senior Brother Xu Nan, you're here."
Ah Kun opened his eyes, and lotus-like qi erupted from around him like dry ice.
Xu Nan knew that this was an anomaly caused by the overabundance of lotus true qi in his body.
Xu Nan nodded, hurriedly walked over, and sat next to Ah Kun.
"Senior......
"Actually, along the way, I always had something to say to you."
"I feel a little sorry......"
His words were lightly interrupted by Ah Kun:
"Nothing to be sorry about."
"I can probably guess what you think, but there's really nothing to be sorry for."
Xu Nan was slightly stunned, and then smiled with relief:
"It's great that you think so, senior."
Xu Nan's guilt stems from the weeping blood ring and the fairy body.
The line of the fairy banshee was originally qualified to be opened by Ah Kun Xin who worked hard to get through the Demon God Monastery.
If Xu Nan was still immersed in ecstasy when he got the fairy body at the beginning, then he came back to it later-
Demon Monastery - Lake of Roses - Crystal Palace - Faerie ......
This series is clearly the opportunity and exercise arranged by the cloud climbing monk boss for Senior Ah Kun!
Only the Lotus Warrior Monk knows so much about the story of the former fairy banshee.
And the banshee's blessing is the fairy body, and I'm afraid it didn't exceed the big guy's expectations.
If there was no unexpected appearance of Xu Nan and Evelyn, then the person who walked into Valhalla with the Weeping Blood Ring should be Ah Kun.
In the same way, the person who obtains the immortal body should also be Ah Kun.
The legendary warrior monk + fairy body is the real perfect match.
Xu Nan took the fairy body, but in fact, it was overkill in a sense.
But he couldn't do anything about it, the situation was urgent at that time, and the banshees were too casual when they gave blessings, so that Xu Nan himself thought it was just a small blessing similar to the [essential oil technique] that Lulu often gave.
Who knew it was such an awesome thing as a fairy body?
"Senior, you're still so admirable."
"Is even the perfect match of a warrior monk like the immortal spirit body so light-hearted?"
Xu Nan has actually always been very convinced of Ah Kun, whether it is on the earth or in another world, Ah Kun is always so calm and calm, in him, it is difficult for you to see too much joy, anger and sorrow, but sometimes, he stands behind you like a very ordinary brother, which makes people have an indescribable sense of security.
"It's nothing."
Ah Kun waved his hand and said with a slight smile:
"I used to feel sorry for it, but I don't think so now."
Xu Nan said unexpectedly:
"Is it because you want to open it?"
I didn't expect Ah Kun to feel a pity.
"No, it's not."
Ah Kun explains:
"It's because I was just sitting on the dock meditating."
"Suddenly I had an epiphany."
"Then I had an epiphany about the [Immortal Body] ......"
"Oh, look......"
