Chapter 376: A Well-Intentioned Friend? Contact with [Body of the Abyss]
Chapter 376: A Well-Intentioned Friend? Contact with [Body of the Abyss]
Deep inside the dilapidated and decaying palace.
There were all kinds of messy items placed everywhere, some of which were precious alchemical materials containing magic power, and some low-level undead bodies that were randomly divided.
At a glance.
It is a horror place that is completely consistent with what ordinary people understand as being related to the undead, and is filled with a sense of terror that would make children cry.
dong dong!
Roar!
The banging and roaring of the iron cage echoed in my ears!
Evileye stepped on the relatively smooth and clean stone slabs and stood in front of two huge cages, each of which contained a stronger undead individual.
Looking at the two undead, Evileye felt a tearing pain in her heart, and more importantly, an unspeakable sense of self-blame.
"Crystal Dagger!"
Evileye spoke hoarsely and raised her arm forward.
Swish!
A translucent crystal dagger condensed in mid-air and flew towards the iron cage in front, but at the moment it was about to touch the iron cage.
The crystal dagger suddenly stopped in mid-air!
Evileye's palms were facing forward, trembling slightly, and finally she clenched her fists.
"Click" sound!
The crystal dagger that stopped in front of the iron cage shattered in mid-air and dissipated into fine powder.
Evileye looked deeply at the two undead in the iron cage, then turned abruptly and headed back outside the palace.
When returning to the ground.
Looking at the large number of undead people slowly and unconsciously wandering around and the empty sky.
"Your Majesty," Evileye said loudly and respectfully, though she was a little emotional.
not far away.
On a solid outer wall among the remaining ruins.
Tang Zheng stood there quietly, looking at the other party with interest: "Oh, what's the matter."
Evileye pursed her lips and lowered her head. "I don't know anything about the Sanctuary."
Finish this sentence.
Evileye waited in silence for the wrath of the Crimson Dragon King. She thought that with her strength, even if she couldn't defeat the Crimson Dragon King, she could still escape.
And the more contact!
Evileye could feel the opponent's strength more and more, as well as the mysterious [Body of the Abyss] that appeared.
The other party has existed for more than 400 years and may have information about the "holy land" mentioned by the red dragon king, so she must take action before Cassius Habakkuk returns.
Simultaneously.
Evileye also realized that as an undead being, she would most likely need to come into contact with the [Body of the Abyss] on behalf of the Crimson Dragon King.
She still has value, so even if she angers the Red Dragon King, he will not attack her immediately.
"I know."
A faint voice came from mid-air.
Evileye was startled, and raised her head in astonishment, looking in the direction where the sound came from, although she could not see anything.
"I can see the essence of things, Evileye."
Tang Zheng said calmly: "Just like your identity, you are not an ordinary noble of this destroyed country."
The air becomes quiet.
"There's no point in cheating."
"The same goes for your identity and fake name. From the beginning to the end, I only care about your own value."
Tang Zheng's majestic voice made the air vibrate and turn into a buzzing sound:
"As someone who has entered the realm of the "Demon God", you are qualified to have an equal dialogue with me. I can forgive you for your hopeful deception in order to save your companions."
"This is my kindness, Evileye!"
A completely unexpected response.
Evileye didn't expect that instead of being met with the wrath of the Crimson Dragon King, she would receive this answer.
Recall your experiences during this time.
The Crimson Dragon King did not have any hostility towards her. Instead, she was always full of vigilance and careful thoughts.
Evileye felt ashamed. As a proud dragon, she obviously disdained such deception.
"Praise you, my heart is like a flame."
Evileye bowed to the empty space in front of her.
Tang Zheng smiled, feeling that his words were not wasted. He knew that Evileye was wary and cautious of him.
There is no way around it, after all, he is now disguising himself as the Dragon King.
"My real name is Keno Fasilis Inberon, and I am the princess of the destroyed "Imberia Kingdom"..."
Evileye straightened up and recounted everything that had happened in a sad and sorrowful tone. At the end, her voice became excited:
"Lord Dragon King, is there really any hope for us?"
She had already given up.
It was not until he met the Dragon King and returned to his homeland that the hopes hidden in his heart began to take root again.
but……
Evileye is no longer the poor and weak person she once was. After experiencing a long time and accumulating knowledge that is long for ordinary people, she has become very clear.
No matter how hard she tried, facing the reality that she had no clue, it was impossible for her to save everyone with her power.
And now... at least... at least, we finally know that the power that turned everyone into this is a power called [Origin Magic].
Evileye looked forward, and a certain will flickered in the red pupils behind the mask. It was not "expectation" but a kind of "determination".
This inquiry.
Tang Zheng had given the answer of "I don't know" last time. Now that he had come to the "Kingdom of Imperia" and seen these undead with his own eyes, Evileye obviously wanted to get a more definite answer from him.
"Keno... I'd rather call you Evileye. It'll make me more comfortable."
"Among the fifth-tier magic of the Faith System, there is a magic called "Resurrection of the Dead."
Tang Zheng spoke calmly and softly: "In fact, at a higher level, there is an equally powerful resurrection magic."
"Like the seventh-level "Resurrection" and the ninth-level "True Resurrection."
Tang Zheng didn't mind telling the other party this knowledge that people from another world could not access at all. This also indirectly shows how powerful he is.
Evileye had the impression that she knew a great deal of knowledge that ordinary people did not understand.
"There is actually... a higher-level resurrection magic!"
Evileye's voice trembled. She was incredulous at this level of information. Then she quickly thought of something and said excitedly:
"Lord Dragon King, do you mean to use higher-level magic to revive everyone?"
Ninth level!
When Ivel Aiguang heard these words, he felt a little dizzy.
"No!"
Tang Zheng rejected it with certainty: "Based on what I know, even the ninth-tier resurrection magic cannot do it."
He didn't give Evileye an accurate answer, but he also indirectly explained that it was almost impossible to do.
Evileye raised her head, not feeling any loss in her heart. Perhaps she had already accepted such an outcome.
"Thank you, Lord Dragon King."
Evileye's shoulders slumped, and her red eyes flickered slightly.
Everything she said and her emotions just now were not false, but there was also a hidden purpose, which was to judge the other party's "goodwill" through the red dragon king's answer. As a result, Evileye completely relaxed.
The Crimson Dragon King did not have any hostility, and even deliberately used the bargaining chip of resurrecting everyone to drive her.
Evileye wondered if her thoughts were a little too "dirty", but such a test was necessary as she had seen too many intrigues and deceptions.
"I understand the answer."
Tang Zheng looked at Evileye quietly: "So, the last royal family of the Kingdom of Imperia, what do you want to do?"
Evileye gave a wry smile, but quickly pulled himself together.
“I just wanted to save everybody.”
"And now, if everyone can no longer turn back into humans..."
Evileye's voice became firm. "As the last remaining royal family of this country, this is the only thing I can do. And what I must do."
"It is to find the true Dragon King who turned us all into immortals. For this, I am willing to obey any command from the Lord Dragon King."
"This is the only reward I can give!"
He did not say anything about seeking revenge on the Dragon King of Xiuguan.
Instead, he only found the Dragon King Kukukan who destroyed the country and became an immortal.
Tang Zheng heard Evileye's words, which showed that he intended to face it alone. He opened his mouth and chuckled:
"——Drive?"
"You used the wrong word. Only weak ants need to be driven, and weak ants mean nothing to me."
"However, as someone who has reached the Demon God realm and is qualified to talk directly with me, if you are a friend, I don't mind helping you."
"Come to think of it, I don't get along well with those True Dragon Kings either."
Evileye's shoulders stiffened, and she looked ahead in bewilderment. "Friend?"
The thick clouds in the sky became darker as the sun set.
evening.
There was only a hint of red in the west, obscured by thick fog.
Cassius Habakkuk, who had been away for a long time, returned to the ruined royal city along with the ripples in the air.
When Evileye saw the other party appear, he appeared in front of him in a flash and asked, "What was the result?"
"It took me a lot of effort to contact an inner circle member through several outer circle members of the organization."
Cassius Habakkuk raised his bony hands and patted his gray robe, looking relieved.
Fortunately, there were no accidents during the whole process. He didn't want to become a subordinate of the evil and terrifying Dragon King who controlled the organization.
"result?"
Seeing the other party's nagging, Evileye raised her tone a little and threw the other party's magic belt at him.
Snapped!
Cassius Habakkuk quickly reached out to take it, and quickly checked the magic belt, discovering that the two mysterious undead men had truly kept their promise and had not opened it.
"The members of the inner circle heard that there are strong people who master the eighth-level magic among you, and they are willing to meet you."
"But it will take three days. They seem to be entangled in some trivial matters now."
Cassius Habakkuk carefully put away the magic leather bag and then spoke. At the same time, he looked around but still found nothing.
"Three days later."
"Thank you for your help." Tang Zheng's steady voice suddenly sounded in the air.
“It’s a fair trade.”
Cassius Habakkuk quickly looked in the direction of the voice and said quickly: "So... So, the sixth-level magical knowledge?"
"In exchange, I will give it to you."
"But not now. We need to confirm whether we can really meet the inner circle members of the [Body of the Abyss] in three days."
Tang Zheng opened his mouth to respond.
Cassius Habakkuk's scarlet pupils flashed, as if the rising flame suddenly subsided, and he was quite disappointed: "Okay."
Although it is impossible to obtain the sixth-level magic knowledge immediately, you only need to wait for three days.
To the undead, time has no meaning.
Cassius Habakkuk touched his rotten cheek and thought with anticipation.
——The downturn month.
6 month 5 day.
[Experience slot: 3038w/188w]
The place where Evileye and Cassius Habakkuk had disappeared together using teleportation magic.
A trace of solemnity and depth flashed across Tang Zheng's eyes. If the plan went well, it would be much easier to obtain the next career.
There is no need to worry about the [Body of the Abyss] itself, the key is the true dragon king hidden behind it.
If he remembers correctly.
[Body of the Abyss] has already begun preparations to resist the rule of the True Dragon King. He only needs to give it a push and he will be able to see what he wants.
But before that, [Body of the Abyss] also has a lot of value.
"I hope everything goes well with Evileye." Tang Zheng whispered to himself.
Some time ago, through communication with Evileye, I had gained her trust, and both parties had the same goal.
Time passed little by little.
It's approaching noon.
Tang Zheng immediately sensed a wave of magical power appearing not far away. When he looked over, he saw the figure of Cassius Habakkuk.
I saw that only one person from the other side returned.
Tang Zheng was certain in his heart.
This means that Evileye has come into contact with the members of the inner circle of [Body of the Abyss].
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency."
"Now we can exchange knowledge about 6th-tier magic."
Cassius Habakkuk had just teleported back, holding a magic wand in one hand, turning his head to look around, and couldn't wait to speak.
"Of course."
A faint voice sounded from behind Cassius Habakkuk.
Before Cassius Habakkuk could turn around happily, an invisible force suddenly descended.
"Ninjutsu: Immobilization Technique"!
Cassius Habakkuk's body froze for a moment, and he stood there motionless, unable to move at all.
"What are you doing...you——"
Cassius Habakkuk was confused at first, then his scarlet pupils flickered like flames, and he looked at the ground in disbelief:
"You, you are a dragon!"
See!
The shadow of a gigantic dragon has completely enveloped it.
If you are attacked by an opponent while in stealth mode, or if you actively attack, the stealth effect will be automatically lifted.
"Mr. Cassius Habakkuk, next, I would like to trouble you to cooperate with me in doing a few experiments."
Tang Zheng grabbed Cassius Habakkuk from the ground, and a faint voice reached his ears.
next moment.
Tang Zheng grabbed the other person and flew into the air, disappearing.
