Section 21 The Land of Eternal Life
The canonization ceremony of the first-tier underworld consul was much simpler than Lance had imagined.
After Lance agreed, Alfred gave him a basic item, patted Lance on the shoulder, and left the place without saying a word to the rest of the place.
Until the huge bone dragon and the serious pale knight disappeared behind the portal, everyone was slow to react.
The ninth-level Underworld Archon of the Dead World Realm put too much pressure on them.
There is a shocking temperament about him, which makes people feel terrified from the heart. Although he didn't mean to target a wizard, this natural momentum could not be concealed. It's also a shame that among these people, the worst is also a high-level apprentice - no matter how weak the spiritual power of wizards is, they are much stronger than ordinary mortals. If a mortal stood here, he might be frightened by the breath of death.
Lance roughly glanced at the basic items, which included a gray stone, the runes on the stone showed that this thing could be used to summon a flying skeleton warhorse, which was one of the standard equipment of a first-level archon, a Necromantic Language Mastery Scroll, which could be activated to master the Necromantic Language to the realm of mastery in a short time, and a badge, named [MGM's Appreciation], with a power on it that was personally attached by His Royal Highness MGM, the King of the Dead World.
Lance pinned MGM's praise to his chest, and automatically became the first-level underworld archon of the world of the dead. This badge is not only the symbol of the Grim Reaper's Spokesman, but it also has two powerful functions. The first function is a once-a-day mental enhancement effect. Although there is not much strengthening, but over time, it is conceivable that in the near future, Lance's spiritual power will surpass that of wizards of the same level, and another function is to store the mark of death, once Lance kills a necromancer, [MGM's Praise] will automatically plunder the mark of death on his body.
After the mark of death in the badge was stored to a certain extent, it was natural that other Underworld Archons would come to hand him over.
What he needs to do is actually very simple, just when he encounters a necromancer, he can easily destroy it. Of course, if the enemy is strong. Lance wouldn't be stupid enough to die.
All in all. It is also a surprise to be able to become an archon of the underworld, after all, it can be regarded as entering the administrative establishment of the world of the dead, although it is not on the thighs of the monarchs, but Alfred's strength should not be underestimated. At least that's what Lance has seen so far. The first legendary-level character.
A doppelganger of the Daredevil. It's just a level of three levels. Similar to Caterina, not comparable to Alfred who came to the deity.
......
By this time, the wizards of the Flower Scorpion Society had already crumpled into a ball. There is no longer a tendency to be encircled.
Although their numbers are large, they are extremely weak in momentum at present. Lance noticed that several of the senior apprentices were already in a state of limbo, and they were eager to run away immediately.
After all, Lance had killed FerrΓ© and Valerie in front of them, and he had a connection with such a powerful figure, and they couldn't afford not to be afraid.
"Mr. Reims......"
Kewen's deep voice rang out, his eyes flickering, and he seemed to be struggling: "You killed your traitor, and you killed that guy Ferrey, and that should be enough to calm your anger." There is no need for us to fight each other, we are different from cavemen, we are both human wizards, and we can work together. β
"What's more, although your strength is strong, it won't do you any good, right?"
He saw that Lance was silent, thinking that he had been convinced, and immediately continued: "Although we have had some misunderstandings before, there is no absolute enemy in this world, and we can become partners in cooperation...... Even friends. You've come here for the riches of the castle, but we're here after the legends of the Land of Eternal Life, and there's no absolute conflict between us, are we?"
"The Land of Eternal Life?" Lance asked thoughtfully.
Kewen's eyelids jumped, and when he saw the inquiring look in Lance's eyes, he remembered that he had just been in a big way, and gritted his teeth and said:
"It is indeed the Land of Eternal Life, and we came here following the notes of a senior wizard of the Black Lands. If you know anything about our Scorpion Society, you should know that our life's goal is to pursue immortality!"
"Previously, we had problems with two studies on immortality. This is the last clue we have about immortality. β
He took out a thick notebook from his bosom, shook it, and said, "If you are willing to cooperate with us instead of continuing hostility, I can show you this notebook." This is a precious relic left behind by the old wizard, which records all kinds of magical things in the land of eternal life. β
"And, if I'm not mistaken, the so-called land of eternal life is on this small island!"
With that, Ke Wen pointed with his right hand and pointed in the direction of the mysterious lake.
"Immortals?" Lance frowned slightly and looked at Dora.
The latter shook his head slightly, apparently ignorant of the matter. There is no such thing in the Book of Revelation written by Dora's ancestors themselves.
"Wait...... Apocalypse?"
A flash of light flashed in Lance's heart.
He clenched his fists and thought of something crucial.
"Did the senior wizard you mentioned visit the Land of Immortality a hundred years ago?" asked Lance flatly.
"Hmm?......" Ke Wen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lance to even know this, so he just nodded: "That's true." β
Dora's body trembled slightly, and there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
Lance breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and said in an unquestionable tone:
"Bring the book, and then, you can go. I won't work with you, but you're right, there are no permanent enemies. In such a dangerous place, there is no need for us to continue to fight among ourselves, because there may be some enemy lurking in the shadows. β
Rao is Ke Wen was very unhappy with Lance's tone, but he was still intimidated by Lance's momentum, and thought that he still had a copy anyway, so he threw the thick notebook over.
"Let's go!"
Suddenly, the wizards of the Flower Scorpion Society were relieved, and they breathed a sigh of relief, which receded like a tide.
Soon, in the jungle at night, it seemed that only a few of them were left.
"You're all right," Lance asked, walking over.
Landry shook his head, but there was still a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Why did you let them go?" asked Dora, "You have the power to kill them!?"
Lance smiled bitterly, he raised his hand, and saw that the magic sword that was glowing purple just now suddenly began to retreat, and gradually became Lance's left hand.
It's just that at this time, his left hand is obviously a little swollen, probably due to excessive consumption.
"This hole card of mine has a time limit. Even if Ke Wen doesn't regress just now, I'm ready to find a reason to leave. He shook his head and said, "Under normal circumstances, we are no match for them. β
The three of them were all startled, looked at each other, and a trace of fear flashed in their hearts. If it weren't for Lance's momentum that shocked Kewen and the two sides continued to fight, it would be difficult for them to even get out!
"So we'll have to leave right now, and we'll talk about the rest later. β
Under Lance's instructions, the group of four packed up Valerie's relics and headed out into the depths of the rainforest.
After about twenty minutes, they found a hidden tree hole at the edge of the mysterious lake and settled it.
"Now, we can discuss the purpose of the people of the Flower Scorpion Society. β
Lance shook the notebook in his hand and said.
"A hundred years ago, it was exactly the same time as when my grandfather entered Sivaret with a golden sword. Dora mused, "This shouldn't be a coincidence. β
"That's true. Lance opened the notebook, looked at it, and said, "But this notebook should not have been written by your grandfather." β
"For what?" said Dora's face with a palpable look of disappointment.
Lance shrugged, pointed to the signature in the notebook, and said, "[Adolf. J. Mason], unless your grandfather wrote the book under a pseudonym. β
"That's definitely not the case. Dora shook her head. She had never heard of that name.
"The prose of the nature of a travelogue is very uncoherent, and most of it is in chronological order, but I am not familiar with the calendar of Kurosawa, so I can only read it page by page, and I have not seen anything useful so far. I wonder if Ke Wen just took a notebook and perfunctory us. β
Lance continued to watch, trying to find a record of the Land of Immortality in the book. But when he turned the first half of the book, he found nothing.
"It doesn't really matter if we get enough information out of this book. He muttered, "The key is your book of revelation." That is a very important clue left to you by your ancestors. β
But in the second book of Revelation, there is only one prophetic poem...... Ahh
Saying this, Dora couldn't help but scream.
Landry was surprised, "What's wrong?"
Sacra, who had been silent for a long time, said slowly, "I understand. Everything in that poem has been fulfilled. β
As he spoke, Lance had already written the poem on a blank piece of paper.
[Between the white stones and the bad water, there is a gorgeous palace in the past]
[Demons lurk in the shade of trees, and death dances in the night]
[One sixth of the king's spirits are whispering:]
γSycamore's Coffin, Weeping Forest......γ
"Sacra is right, we've already encountered most of the things on it. β
Lance touched his nose and said incredulously, "That's just the difference between these two things." β
The crowd leaned over and saw Lance draw two red circles on the paper.
"One-sixth of the king's spirits are whispering: the coffin of the sycamore,"
His voice was deep: "There are only these two sentences, and they have not yet been fulfilled." β
However, at this time, the sound of rushing water suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. (To be continued......)
