Chapter 265: The Art of Manipulation, It's Kind of Interesting
Click, click!
A third of the skeleton's bones were strangled, and the remaining two-thirds were clattered with oppression.
Leon stretched out his palm and pressed it against the skeleton's forehead, searching for his information—he wanted to see if he could get the creature's memories by reading the soul.
"Huh?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows in surprise, the skeleton's memory was simple, nothing new, except for various curses and curse rituals, only a description of his identity.
"Your name is Gouland, and you are a necromancer, who once held the position of high priest of the Wizards' Guild in the city of Paris......
Oh, by the way, you still have an identity, Ghost Councillor. ”
Li Ang was amazed, what kind of profession is the ghost councilor? He had never heard of it before.
No wonder this thing can manipulate the undead, it turned out to be a ghost.
However, ghosts are also undead, which is a bit embarrassing.
"Ahem, ghosts are undead." Li Ang laughed dryly, "Shouldn't I thank you for helping me solve a problem?" ”
As he spoke, he slowly tightened his fingers, and the demon-breaking chain made a harsh grinding sound.
The skeleton Gouland's expression grew more painful, and a ho-ho-ho sound came out of his throat, as if begging Leon to let it go.
"Don't be in a hurry to beg for mercy."
Li Ang glanced at him lightly, "I'm a short-tempered person, and I don't play cards according to the routine, if you really want to beg for mercy, tell me your name first, or rather, how did you find me?"
I like to be honest and trustworthy, and if I can satisfy you, I will consider letting you live. ”
"Goo-goo!" The skeleton struggled to spit out a string of obscure words.
Leon was stunned, this thing seemed to be talking in some kind of dialect, and the content of the speech was not in English, maybe it had something to do with what he had just dug out of that skeleton's brain?
No matter what, since it knows its identity, it must know itself.
"Where did you find me?"
Leon asked again, "You don't know my name, do you?" ”
"Goo-goo!" The skeleton shook its head and motioned for Leon not to ask any more questions.
"Heh~"
Leon snorted coldly and squeezed the skeleton's head with more force, making it unable to move.
The skeleton struggled desperately, but the more it struggled, the tighter the demon-breaking chains became, and there was a sharp pain in the bones, like ten thousand ants devouring its heart, making it howl in misery.
"To say or not to say?" Leon frowned, "One last chance for you!" Don't think about playing tricks, I'm a very impatient person, if you dare to fool around......"
"Goo-goo-goo."
The skeleton opened its mouth wide and struggled to breathe.
Leon tilted his face slightly, waiting for it to continue.
After a few moments, the skeleton's mouth gradually recovered, and it said with difficulty, "Gollum, Gollum!" ”
"What do you mean?" Leon's eyes widened.
The skeleton blinked, and opened its mouth again with difficulty, but it was still "grunting" twice, indistinct.
It doesn't seem to speak Mandarin.
That's a bit of a problem.
"You don't know Mandarin?" Leon asked.
The skeleton shook its head.
Leon rubbed his temples and carefully recalled the information he had gathered, and suddenly remembered one thing—when he was in a certain world, he had heard this bird language, which seemed to be called Japanese.
"You say you're a Japanese national?" Li Ang looked at the skeleton suspiciously, "Didn't you say that the Japanese are ugly, how can they be so handsome?"
Isn't your skin actually pretty good? It's much better than those so-called stars and idols. ”
The skeleton shook its head and spat out a few characters again, still not speaking Mandarin.
Leon touched his chin and wondered, could this guy be a Japanese ghost?
"Gollum~~"
The skeleton made two more indistinct sounds, as if it was calling for help from Leon.
"Hmmm......"
Leon pondered for a moment, "You said your name was 'Guland', right?" ”
The skeleton nodded.
"You're in a near-death state right now, and you could burp at any moment, right?"
The skeleton nodded again.
Leon grinned, lifted his toes, and crushed its chest.
Poof!
Blood burst out and spilled onto Leon's body, seeping into his muscles along his clothes, staining his tattered cloak red.
"Hmmm......"
Li Ang groaned comfortably, and every inch of pores on his body seemed to be greedily sucking blood.
The life essence of Skeleton Goulander is really good!
However, Leon did not devour it immediately, because he felt that he might have a chance to learn a foreign language.
Although Japanese and Korean have diametrically opposed flavors, and there are some nondescript places, Li Ang's parents are Japanese majors after all, and Li Ang is barely able to do a little bit.
Of course, if you want to master the skills of using Japanese on a daily basis, it is not enough to study alone.
He needs to be in contact with people from other countries, communicate with each other, and even communicate directly with each other in order to master Japanese faster.
But the risk of doing so is extremely high, and if you are not careful, you will be targeted by other forces and set yourself on fire.
"No, still no,"
Leon muttered, "I'm still insecure." ”
The owner of this skeleton, Guland, has definitely no low status in Japan, has a lot of wealth, and has countless bodyguards, and it is difficult to take the property from him and take it for himself.
In addition to this, there are many secrets in Guland.
First of all, Leon can be sure that this guy is not a member of the Dark Order, nor is he a follower of a heretical organization, and its main area of activity is limited to the Southern Mountains and a few surrounding cities.
Secondly, its fear of the black prison is very deep, which may be due to the fact that it has spent time in the black prison since it was a child and has been subjected to extremely serious psychological shadows, so it is so afraid of the black prison.
In addition, Gurland also provided some information to prove that the ghost monsters that Leon was talking about were actually a group of low-intelligence, cruel and murderous monsters, and their appearance was quite unique, completely different from ordinary ghosts.
In other words, there is a necessary basic condition for the birth of these ghost monsters.
Leon guessed that these ghost monsters were most likely a group of artificial ghosts.
According to Guland, hundreds of years ago, a catastrophic plague broke out in the Nordic countries, and people were tormented by famine and disease, and there was no time to worry about war, ending the long years of war.
During the plague, someone established the Holy Roman Empire, established the imperial royal family, and under the leadership of the emperor, re-ruled the world, establishing the dynasty of the present society.
However, the dynasty was short-lived, lasting only a few years, and after the collapse of the empire, it began to face extinction, and various city-states rose up to try to overthrow the royal power.
The members of the royal family who have left a strong mark on the stage of history seem extremely small in the eyes of the people.
