Chapter Seventy-Five: The First Appearance of the Undead
Hearing Leo's words, everyone's eyes were focused on Child's body.
Childe smiled and said worriedly, "Could it be that something is wrong......
Before he finished speaking, Leo interrupted him and said with a smile: "You have done a very good job, even the moat that I didn't expect is being built, I am very satisfied." ”
As he spoke, Leo took out the dragon's blood fruit from the spatial ring and called Qing Yu to Child's confused gaze.
Qing Yu took the dragon blood fruit and observed it for a while, and said in an affirmative tone: "It is indeed the dragon blood fruit, with it, I am ten percent sure that Childe will grow a palm." ”
"Let me grow a palm?" Child froze for a moment, and after reacting, his body trembled slightly, looking at Leo's smiling face, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.
"Aren't you usually quite smart, but now you can't speak? Don't thank you, young master. Xue Tian patted Child's shoulder and scolded with a smile, he was also happy for Childe.
During this time, Child's strength has steadily improved, and he is currently at level 25, but due to the loss of a palm, he can only exert about sixty percent of his combat power.
Every time he saw Xue Tian training and fighting with the soldiers of the Wushuang Army, Child's face would become gloomy, and he looked at the severed palm and lost his mind slightly.
However, Childe has no resentment towards Leo in his heart, he knows that he will be destroyed by the Keinus Tiger Ring because he has a mind that he shouldn't have, and now he is a housekeeper under Leo, watching Leo and his power become stronger step by step, he is also very satisfied, knowing that he is not with the wrong person.
"Young Master......" Child's heart was hot, and he suddenly knelt on the ground, drew his long sword, and said in a deep voice with the standard knight's oath: "I swear by my soul, from today on, I, Childe Julius, will be loyal to Leo Kinus all my life, and this sword will be owned by Leo Kinus and fight for his glory." ”
With that, a pure light rose from Child's body, indicating that the oath he had made with his soul had taken effect.
Leo looked serious, glanced at Child, understood what he meant, nodded silently, and touched Child's shoulders with a thorn sword, acknowledging the other party's oath.
"Thank you, my lord. Childe whispered, and a holy and bright fighting aura suddenly erupted from his body, and he was constantly increasing in strength.
A hint of surprise appeared in Risery's eyes, and she said secretly: "Actually relying on an oath to become a holy knight, and with such a pure holy light fighting spirit, this young man named Child has not received the attention of the God of Light?"
Childe himself obviously didn't expect the current situation, he looked at his hands in a daze, his whole body was shrouded in milky white fighting energy, and he felt very warm.
Qing Yu looked at it for a while, her snow-white eyebrows raised, and she suddenly stretched out her hand to mobilize some element in the air, and a dazzling magic circle appeared in front of her, blooming with a soft green light.
"Stay away from me and Child. Qing Yu manipulated the circle to face Child from all directions, and whispered at the same time.
Leo realized what Qing Yu was going to do, so he and everyone stood ten meters away, observing the situation here.
After everyone moved away, a snow-white flame appeared on Qing Yu's other hand holding the dragon blood fruit, exuding an icy aura that made people shiver.
The dragon's blood fruit quickly turned into a pool of orange liquid floating in the air under the ice flame, and dispersed into various magic circles with Qing Yu's movements.
Qing Yu's expression became solemn, and he whispered to Child: "It may hurt a little later, you bear with it, this spell will not fail." ”
Childe nodded calmly, ready for anything.
Qing Yu slowly closed his eyes, and opened them again, the flame marks on his forehead flickered continuously, and the magic circles around Childe also activated, enveloping the two of them in a burst of brilliant magic light.
Next, the people not far away could only hear Child's muffled roar, and could not "see" the scene in the light, even Richery.
However, there is a growing breath of life that can be felt by all, which proves that the spell was carried out very successfully, although the pain that Childe endured was also very heart-wrenching.
The spell lasted for an hour before it ended, and for the last time Child's voice became hoarse.
When the spell was over, Leo walked in almost instantly, and saw Child, who was supported by Qing Yu, who looked a little weak, but was in very good physical condition.
Seeing Leo coming, the corners of Child's mouth opened and he did not speak, but raised his right arm.
At the place of the originally bare severed palm, a palm as white and tender as the skin of a newborn baby appeared, making Leo smile.
"Come with him and get some rest. Leo patted Childe on the shoulder and whispered to Qing Yu.
Qing Yu nodded, casting this kind of large-scale spell was not a small cost for him, and he also felt a little tired at this time, so he helped Childe down to rest.
At this time, everyone also came over, and they all showed happy expressions for Child, and Richer showed an envious smile to Leo, and suddenly said: "That young man named Childe is a rare talent, you should cherish it." ”
Leo was slightly stunned by Riseri's words, he didn't quite understand what he meant, seeing his expression, Richery smiled mysteriously, and didn't intend to explain it to him.
Could it be because of the milky white fighting spirit just now? By the way, Child's previous fighting spirit seemed to be golden.
Lisery didn't say anything, so Leo thought about it himself, thinking that it might be related to Child's oath just now, and planned to take the time to check it out later.
In the following time, everyone told Leo about the big and small things that had happened in the territory in the past month, and Leo wrote them down one by one.
At this moment, an unfamiliar aura suddenly appeared in Leo's perception, causing him to raise his eyebrows, and called everyone to the garden, where they saw a badly injured fish-man.
Leo and Risere's faces sank, and they had a bad premonition in their hearts, Leo walked up to the fish-man, and without hesitation, used the last healing spell in the ring given to him by Father John, so that the fish-man woke up from his coma.
When the fish-man came to his senses, he saw Leo, his face flashed with joy, and then he said very quickly in the Sea Clan: "The monster has attacked the town, without the Sea Emperor, we can't resist it, the Pirate King has occupied all the towns, we can only escape to the priest's palace, and now we are being attacked." ”
When Leo translated the Fishman's words, Richeri's face turned very ugly and he looked at Leo.
Leo understood what Richeri meant, nodded directly, and ordered everyone to wait for him to return.
Lyseri transformed into a dragon and placed Leo and the Fish-Man on his back, and the dragon's wings flapped and flew in the direction of the Endless Ocean.
On the way, the fish-man told the two of them in detail what happened at the bottom of the sea.
In the past month, the resurrected pirate king Ekmund and his fleet have gained the ability to survive on the bottom of the sea, and the sea tribe that has lost the sea emperor Polyus cannot wake up the sleeping sea tribe elite warriors in the temple, and the sea tribe except the priests cannot drive the sea beasts.
The ordinary Sea Clan army, which only had Fishman Warriors and Seahorse Warriors, could not stop Ekmon's fleet, and he continued to occupy Sea Clan towns and capture many Sea Tribesmen.
The only remaining Sea Clan people could only run towards the palace of the Sea Clan priest Yumon, but they were soon discovered by the terrifying sea beasts controlled by Ekmund and launched an attack.
"The priest killed a few sea beasts, but they came back to life after a few seconds, and the priest said that she could not resist for long, so I asked me to come to you for help, but on the way I was spotted by a sea beast, and I was hunted down, and I was almost killed by him. ”
After the fish-man's words, Leo had already recognized the grim shape of the matter, and his brows were furrowed, and he sorted out his thoughts in his mind.
At this time, Richeri suddenly spoke: "Little one, is the sea beast you are talking about?"
The fishman and Leo swept their eyes down, and saw a large fish with sharp teeth churning on the surface of the sea not far from the shore, which was dozens of meters in size.
The fish-man's eyes were red, and the trident in his hand pointed at the big fish and shouted: "That's it, I was almost eaten by it, it's still here, it must have thought I would go back." ”
"Then let me see how they come back to life. Riseri let out a roar, and the dragon's body suddenly fell, swooping down as it approached the surface, spitting out a scorching dragon's breath at the big fish.
The big fish didn't expect an enemy to suddenly appear in the sky, and most of his body was burned by the dragon's breath, let out a strange scream, and fluttered into the bottom of the sea.
Riseri stopped quietly on the surface of the sea, and it wasn't long before the charred corpse of the big fish floated on the surface of the sea, and there was no sign of life.
However, after ten seconds, a black mist appeared from the big fish's body, and the flesh and blood on its body were separated layer by layer, and soon only the skeleton remained, and a black flame ignited in the eye socket, and it burrowed into the bottom of the sea again, and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the fish-man hurriedly spoke: "That's it, the sea beasts killed by the priest have also become like this. ”
Leo looked puzzled, not knowing what it was, but Richeri's heart fluctuated violently.
He opened his mouth, and a deep voice rang out, "It's the undead, I probably know why Ekmund came back to life." ”
Undead?
Leo was shocked, and Richeri suddenly plunged into the seawater, a faint shield protected Leo, not letting the sea water touch Leo, and continued: "Your guess is right, Ekmon's resurrection is related to the Demon God Cult. To be precise, it is related to a demon god, the Apostle of Death, Andesia. ”
"Andesia is the strongest demon god in the top ten among the seventy-two demon gods, he was once the most powerful subordinate of the god of death, and when the god of death was asleep, he planned to steal the scythe of the god of death, and after defeat, he destroyed the underworld and escaped, and became one of the seventy-two demon gods. ”
"He is also the only demon god among the demon gods who has the ability to manipulate the undead, do you know the buried place located in the southwest of the continent, where there has been no grass for thousands of years, full of death qi and undead creatures. ”
Leo looked shocked and guessed, "Could it be that the place where the bones are buried has something to do with Andesia?"
Risera replied to him in the affirmative, and said, "Yes, the land of bones is the territory that Andesia once ruled, but two thousand years ago, the awakened god of death found Andesia and sealed it underground, and due to the power of Andesia's own death, that area gradually became a place of bones. ”
Leo was shocked by Andesia's great strength and asked suspiciously, "Since Andesia has been sealed by death, why can Akmon and his men be resurrected now?"
"This is also a point that I am confused about, but among the demon gods, only Andesia has the power of death, there is no doubt about it, maybe the demon god cultists have found a way to get Andessia out of the burial place. Speaking of which, Riseri was also a little puzzled.
After some conversation, Leo and the others had gone deep into the bottom of the sea, but unlike the last time they arrived on the deep-diving shark, the bottom of the sea at this time seemed to be silent and terrible, and they didn't see a single fish all the way.
She hadn't been to the bottom of the sea for decades, and she had forgotten about the Sea Clan's place of residence, but Leo remembered the route she had taken the last time he got up, and guided her to Yumu's palace.
