Chapter 232: Big Brother
Chapter 231 – Big Brother
Although it was a “long story short”, Gray was getting into the mood as he talked.
“…… You don’t know, ever since I became a necromancer, I’ve been hiding in the area of Thin Bay, I didn’t have a single friend I could talk to, and I ended up having to speak to corpses, and I’ve been living like this for more than ten years, during which time I didn’t meet a single peer… …”
…
“…… A month ago, I finally met a guy from the Northlands who rode a bone bird, beautiful to look at, with fine fascia covering his bone wings ……
“We talked a lot, he told me a lot about the underworld, and left me this mirror, he said he was going to go on a treacherous mission, and if he failed, I would take over the use of this mirror.
“Yet a day later, he was burned to death in Oak Square, along with the bone bird …… Ugh, I clearly warned him.”
…
“…… Later, the Elder Guards were inactive and I received my Lord’s order without incident, but the way out of here was blocked by rifts and strange beasts again …… How could my luck be so bad? ”
Gray was also here for the first time.
As he opened up his words, the tension and the rushing gradually disappeared.
Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
At the name “Twilight Bay”, Heine froze.
Surrounded on all sides by rifts, there was no way to carry out the order to go to the mountains of Makara to investigate.
Because of his unconditional trust in his “ally” and because he had been living alone for a long time, Gray did not realize that he had given up everything.
…
–That is to say, the dark ground of the Underworld was formed by the condensation of countless pollutants ……
He thought.
He had taken off his protection then to scratch his head at the black sludge, and the latter had pounced on him in the same way.
But instead of Hathar, there was someone else.
It’s not like this guy got there first, is it?
As for having him investigate George, this is in line with what is known.
Heine hurriedly released a portion of her spirit ashes and wrapped Gray in it, and the black gelatinous substance shrunk back.
Then he looked at the stunned Gray, looking at the bark-like protection on his body surface, and had a moment of clarity.
Hattar’s mirror reported the failure of the “Drive Zhan Tun Mai Program” to the public.
He did not realize that the black protection on his body was getting thinner and thinner with the passage of time.
When the first ray of silver light emanated from the soul mass, the dark ground suddenly squirmed!
Heine couldn’t help but remember the first time he entered the Magic Web.
It means that there is also a “weight reduction after failing a mission” or something like that.
A black gelatinous mass lunged at Gray like a shark that had smelled blood!
“Watch out!”
Gray’s protection didn’t belong to him, and those loose spirit embers were dissipating every now and then, hence the “limited time”.
Sabelia said he’d left his research notes in some fishing village in this part of the world, and he hadn’t even had a chance to find someone to dig up the treasure before disaster struck.
He says he was in Twilight Bay when he received a mission from Thanatos to investigate Lord George in the mountains of Makara.
He had learned his “Spirit Embers Bark Technique” from Quirkus.
It is the latter’s full level skill practiced over hundreds of years of fighting pollution ……
In addition, as a fourth-level psychic, he had the ability to control the spirit ashes, so he could completely ignore the danger of the underworld.
–At least for the time being.
Thoughts raced through his mind, his face clouded over.
This seemed to Gray to be the way a strong man should look!
Thus, Heine’s deliberate “arrogant persona” became a truly strong posture.
In addition to the fact that there was no way to spread his senses here, Gray was unable to know the other party’s specific level, and could only estimate it at a higher level.
Big Brother.
An absolute bigot!
“Go on, I don’t like to wait.” Heine said faintly.
“Yes, yes, my lord.” Gray respectfully said, “I …… can only go north, reach the Northlands through the waterways, and then follow the snowy plains at the northern end of the Whispering Forest around to the city of Godello, and from there enter the mountains of Makara.”
He took a deep breath – if souls could breathe.
It calmed him a little, then continued:
“But that friend from a month ago told me that the Shadow Temple carpet searched for necromancers not long ago, and that it was east or die, and that the Northlands were now inches away, or he wouldn’t have fled south.
“I have asked for help from my Lord, who has taken the time out of his busy schedule to guide you to me, and I hope that you will be able to lend me a helping hand.”
He used you without realizing it.
After a pause, he added the question:
“I am not well informed here, so it would be great if you could tell me what is happening in the Northlands.”
Ha …… news is closed ……
How would Heine know what has been happening in the Northlands for the past few months ……
But after knowing the answer from Gray, he was able to push back.
Since the player hadn’t mentioned this, it meant that the plot had been altered by himself.
Then there was only one truth – it was Barry’s research manuscript that had played a role. The Shadow Temple’s “Soul Science” technology tree has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it has mastered more ways to deal with necromancers.
That’s how they were able to drive the necromancers to the eastern Ash Front, causing trouble for the Golden People.
And this matter could lead to another conclusion:
The necromancers hadn’t progressed much over the past few hundred years, and might even be driving backwards.
As for the reason, this could be too good to guess:
On the one hand, their own development was near stagnant.
Not to mention the necromancers in the wild, everyone was shouting at them, they were in a precarious situation, and there was no such thing as a legacy.
What about the Ash Front?
War can certainly make the level of technology soaring, but the gray front is a “battlefield”.
There is only a thousand holes in the position, as well as deep-seated hatred.
On the other hand, the external “research” environment is far from what it used to be.
Linumu had made it clear that the elves had never considered analyzing the blight from the soul’s point of view in all these years.
Because as soon as they got their hands on such content, they would be challenged as a taboo research for necromancers, and then the research would be shelved and they would start blaming each other.
In the elf’s long life, the few inspirations and enthusiasms he had had all faded into these trivialities, becoming banal and vain.
Barry and Sabelia had lamented more than once that the current academic climate was stifling.
The school of metamorphosis was not met with nearly as much resistance in its day as its contemporaries would have us believe.
Therefore, not long ago, in the private mediation, Xiara was using the modern people’s knife to cut the eternal dawn of that year, belonging to the inter-temporal law enforcement, out of the category of “discussing the matter”.
But paradoxically, this argument is reasonable and effective in the current public opinion environment in Veritas.
This shows how far ahead Veritas is.
While the four nations are still self-absorbed and conservative and stuck in their ways.
They’ve already lassoed behind multiple iterations and radicalized to catch up with the conservatives.
There really is nothing new under the sun.
Heine couldn’t help but lament in his mind.
Gray didn’t know that his few words had caused Heine to make such a string of associations.
Seeing that the other party didn’t answer for a long time, he thought that he was too abrupt and couldn’t help but feel a bit terrified.
That’s when Heine spoke up.
“The Yankees have made a great discovery in the Whispering Woods, and lately they have had more means to deal with our gladiators.”
He wasn’t talking nonsense.
Barry’s research included attacks against souls, and Arthur’s interpreter and Crack Toe Clan patriarch, Farkas, had mentioned something similar.
Gray fell back on his words, “Is the discovery of the Whispering Forest …… that farce between the Yankees and the Silver Elves?”
“I don’t care about that.”
Worried about talking too much about it and revealing himself, Heine changed the subject.
“I can arrange for someone to meet you in the Northlands, but only at the southernmost tip of the Snow Plains. The farthest you can go is near the city of Godello, how long will it take you and where will you meet up?”
Gray was overjoyed, “Thank you so much, I’ve just started building my boat, I expect to cross the river in a month, and arrive at the eastern outskirts of Godro City in a month and a half.”
Heine was a bit confused, and immediately sneered, “You’ve only just started building the boat? Ha, the King of the Underworld is above me, I’m going to pick up a group of brave Zanros, by the time you’ve finished building the boat, the children they’ve built should be promoted to gladiators.”
Although Gray mentally cursed this Zoroastrian for having such a poisonous mouth, he still had a pleasing smile on his face.
After becoming a necromancer, he was instead incomparably shy about his life.
“It’s like this, I met a group of elves from Mourning Wood City who also want to head to the Whispering Forest. With their help, one month is definitely enough!”
Elves from Mourning Wood City?
Heine’s spirit shook.
He said suspiciously, “You control them?”
“Please rest assured, the leader is a fourth level ranger, perhaps with some psionic means, but not well learned, the rest of the seven or eight are all half grown children and pose no threat.”
The “psychics” mentioned by the necromancers nowadays all came from that book by Carl Elam.
That is, the advanced version of the necromancer who can summon essence.
–Even Heinrich Heine had given Ashitsuki this information.
When he said that, Heine was 100% certain that it was the Gray Moon that had gone to Mourning Wood City to rob people.
So he showed an interested expression:
“A wood elf? Male or female?”
“No, the guy in the lead is a female night elf.”
“Oh?” Heine’s eyes became more interested, “How is the female night elf …… character?”
Gray froze, then answered seriously:
“Fourth level ranger, the quality is quite good. The body is slender, the bones are dense, and the skin and flesh are plump, producing a lot of grease and flesh and blood material …… Are you interested?”
