Chapter 709 – The Judge of Death
Chapter 709 – Inquisitor of Death
“Lord Noah, we’re surrounded by people from the Blackwater Clan and the One-Armed Clan.”
Scorpion burrowed into the cramped tent and yelled before he could get to Noah’s side.
Such a panicked move made the warriors near the tent tense up.
Noah put down the map of the nearby area he had spent a month drawing and gripped the charcoal pencil in his hand somewhat nervously.
“How many people are there on the other side?”
Scorpion froze and stumbled over his answer, “I… I don’t know, there must be more warriors than us.”
Noah tried to look calm, but he couldn’t help but take small breaths.
There was no way around it, he was just a teenager.
Once Sol had left him with a large amount of wealth and resources and informed him that he wouldn’t be coming for a long time, Noah had decided to travel with Scorpion to the clan he was with.
He wanted to spread Saul’s name as the “Judge of Death” all over this barren world, so that all the people here would become followers of his mentor.
This would make it easy for his mentor to find out what kind of materials he needed and what information he needed to know.
Otherwise, relying on him alone, the progress of research will be very slow.
At first Noah thought well.
Anyway, the people here could only rely on their mutated bodies to fight, and they didn’t have the slightest bit of magic power at all, so he could easily conquer these primitive people with the help of the powerful sorcery props given to him by Saul.
But when Noah followed Scorpion to his tribe, he realized that although the people here don’t know sorcery and the knowledge they hold is backward, it doesn’t mean that they are a bunch of fools who are good at cheating.
The barren resources and difficult living environment made the people here naturally alert and cautious.
Because a single negligence could bring the danger of extinction to the entire tribe.
Scorpion’s tribe is called the Giant Stone.
Many of the clansmen here have rough and hard body skins like stone, and therefore have strong fighting abilities.
The fact that they dared to settle near the Black Desert was indicative of their strength.
After all, although the Black Desert was dangerous, it was also the area with the richest food resources.
Noah had been forced to use a large number of sorcery props and consume a lot of magic crystals just to make these people submit.
Before he could settle down and gain a firm foothold, two clans suddenly came to join forces to attack the Monolithic Clan.
And the reason they started the war was simple – there wasn’t enough food for the winter.
If they won, they could steal some of the food from the more powerful Monolith Clan.
If they lost, there would be far fewer people to eat food this winter, and the rest would survive as long as they weren’t cleaned out by their enemies.
It’s just that for some reason, the Blackwater and One-Armed tribes, who originally didn’t have a particularly good relationship, suddenly allied together to attack the Monolithic Tribe.
This made the advantage of the Monolithic Tribe disappear all of a sudden.
However, Noah was quite happy in his heart when he first learned about this.
If he could use sorcery to help the people of the Monolithic Tribe through their difficulties, then the people here would definitely become more devout.
But he had underestimated the enemy’s determination and ferocity. After a few encounters, not only did he fail to clear out the enemy, he was also surrounded.
Noah walked out of the tent and saw many people from the Monolithic Tribe looking at him.
Noah endured his uneasiness and walked to the side of the mountain to look down the hill, and he saw the blackened tops of the skulls.
“It adds up to nearly a hundred.”
For the clans here, a fighting group of nearly a hundred could practically walk across the periphery.
Scorpion, as the person closest to Noah, followed Noah closely.
At this moment, he even whispered to remind Noah, “My lord, you should quickly invite the Death Judge here. Otherwise, we’re going to become each other’s slaves and food.”
The people around them also looked at Noah, with hopes and some other complicated emotions in their eyes. Noah once again estimated the number of enemies, and his heart was slightly stabilized.
He still had two sorcery props in his hand that had great killing power. There was certainty that he could solve these enemies.
It was just that he was a little hesitant.
These two lethal sorcery props were given to him by Saul to save his life.
Now that they were used on the battlefield was it better to leave one behind just in case, or to use them all to clear out all the enemies and build up prestige?
But no matter what he chose, he couldn’t let these people leave behind the knowledge that he could easily invite the Inquisitor of Death.
He was trying to push Thor towards being a god, how could a god be summoned?
So he deliberately didn’t lower his voice and glared at Scorpion.
“Now is the time for us to be tested. If we think of asking the Inquisitor for help when we encounter the slightest difficulty or setback, then what qualifications do we have to follow him?”
Scorpion opened his mouth; Noah’s use of words was so complex that he couldn’t understand what they meant for several terms.
But it was barely clear to him that Noah was saying that the powerful Inquisitor would not care about them.
Scorpion looked back at the patriarch of his tribe and shook his head.
The patriarch couldn’t help but see disappointment in his eyes as well.
The reason why they had provided for Noah, a skinny teenager, and listened to his command was because of those powerful weapons in his hands, and the even more powerful Inquisitor he spoke of.
But if the other party couldn’t save them when the tribe was in crisis, then why would they bother to follow a strange fellow?
The patriarch, who was already over forty years old, secretly gave a wink to the strong man in his early twenties at the side.
The other party itself wasn’t that strong, they could totally snatch those powerful weapons from the other party.
They had never touched sorcery and had always thought that the sorcery props in Noah’s hands could be used by anyone as long as they found the right switch.
As extremely insecure tribesmen, the only way to feel at ease with good things was to keep them in their own hands.
Otherwise, if the other party escaped after the battle started, they wouldn’t have the chance to leave the good things on the other party.
Scorpion didn’t know what his clan leader was thinking, after all, he had been nothing more than a weak character on the fringes of the clan until he returned this time.
Just when Noah was determined to make a stand with the most powerful combat effect, and the most powerful warrior in the Monolithic Clan was planning to touch over and snatch Noah’s most powerful weapon ……
“Wow ……”
An immense shadow was cast on the ground.
This shadow had many slits, with light and darkness constantly interlacing, and was moving very fast.
It made everyone who was enveloped by the shadow bright and dark, as if they were constantly switching between life and death.
The warriors who were already approaching Noah in the shadows raised their heads in bewilderment, and saw a white monster large enough to cover the sky flying in mid-air.
“What is that?” Noah just felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
And he was still in good shape.
There was silence in all directions, and even the people from the two clans who were preparing to attack from afar all tilted their heads high in the air in a dumbfounded manner, staring at the huge white skeleton in mid-air.
There was a faint fishy odor coming from the air, that was someone who had already been scared into incontinence by the monster overhead.
“Is there such a scary monster in this world?” Noah’s cognition was limited after all.
He only felt that this bone monster above his head was feared to be even more powerful than his mentor, Saul.
Since this world was so dangerous, his conquest plan had to be suspended.
If he could survive this time.
Just then, Noah, who was already wondering if he would turn into an evil spirit after his death, suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a person standing at the spine of the giant bone monster.
A wide black cloak, pale skin with short black hair.
He couldn’t help but rub his eyes, then rubbed them twice more.
That person, why did he look so much like his mentor?
