Destiny Thief

Chapter 82 The Cause and Effect of the Explosion
Dill, Cemetery City.

A skeleton was walking alone on the wide street, and there were few people in the street. He looked up at the sky, it was dark and gloomy, with only some very faint light - he was not an ordinary skeleton, he came from the corpse of a soldier After being "resurrected" by accident, he had self-awareness, and the memories of his previous life lingered in his mind, like a whirlpool of debris, which made him fall into a daze from time to time.

The sky in the horizon seemed to be like this all the time. The gray-black fog was like a sign that it was about to rain.He didn't know how many days he had spent in this dead city.Whether it is day or night, the scene of the sky almost never changes.

He once heard liches and some high-level undead say that this is the normal appearance of the underground world-the sky above his head is not the real sky, there is no sun, no birdsong and fragrance of flowers, and the black mist that looks like dark clouds is basically The upper part is composed of floating dust and the dead breath of the undead.

As a "resurrectionist", he hated this place-it made him feel lonely, and at this fixed time of day, he always used to run out of the apartments provided for the new nationals, Wander the streets aimlessly.Only in this way can he dispel the loneliness in his heart.

He walked very slowly. On both sides of the street, the floating sphere among the rows of magic lighthouses projected a silver frost like moonlight. He turned around and saw faint shadows emerging from under his feet in all directions. Suddenly there is a sense of deranged hallucination and unreality.

But at this moment, the white soul fire suddenly lit up in his eye sockets—across the street from where he was, between rows of tall stone houses of different styles, there was a tall tower. It is the office and residence of a certain important person in the parliament, and a bright purple light emerges from the top.

With the Undead Council and the administrative agency of Dill as the core circle of the Cemetery City, this area can be said to be in the second ring area of ​​the second level.

"Angus, good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

A bone frame of medium stature stood in the only room at the top of the tower. The size of the room was not too large. There were two bookcases, a desk, and a few scattered historic lacquered wooden chairs.With a diameter of three to four meters, it is a standard circle. As a skeleton that has been with the Lich for a long time, it is undoubtedly easy to calculate the area of ​​this house.

The skull's eyes were burning with purple flames without temperature, and asked the lich sitting behind the desk.Although she was just an attendant of the Lich, this skeleton did not show the slightest respect to its master. She was wearing a long white silk dress in the style of the Elante court in the last century, and her voice was full of ridicule and sarcasm.

However, the Lich himself didn't seem to care about her attitude. He took the sphere prop in the front right corner of the desk to his face, and began to observe and examine it carefully. After several minutes——

"You're always so boring!"

The jaw joints on the skull of the skull suddenly moved violently, and a scream came out.Purple soul flames danced in the eye sockets, as if angry - the Lich immediately stood up from the chair, stretched out a bony arm from the black cloth cloak, and hugged his skeleton attendant behind his back.

"I'm sorry, Nina, my baby. The recent research has entered a very critical time."

"But this is not the reason for you to neglect me for a long time. Do you remember your promise, Angus."

The skeleton is still a little dissatisfied, but from her tone, she can faintly hear some looseness.

The Lich hugged his skeleton attendant and turned around in his arms. He stared at the purple soul fire, as if seeing the most touching eyes in the world. The Lich's tone was gentle and slow:
"Nina, I want to hear your good news first."

"The experiment you got from the surface world was a success."

"So, next, what's the bad news?"

"It was destroyed by humans."

……

The explosion immediately sounded from behind, and the scorching air wave brought an extremely powerful impact.

Completely subconsciously, Glo fell on the muddy ground, and the businessman Bain was brought down by his arm. There was a raised stone on the ground, and the back of the businessman's head hit it heavily, violently The pain suddenly made the businessman faint.

But Glo was lucid.He saw Makuro, as well as the knights and mercenaries behind him, all opened their mouths, as if they were screaming, but because of the roaring of the eardrums, he could no longer hear the screams—— There was an unbearable pain, he even had the feeling at the moment before crossing, he felt the wound on his arm, the blood was evaporated dry at this moment, followed by a burst of lack of water in the body thirsty.

In the system, the life value poured down like a reservoir unloading.

Damn it!Is it going to die?The bandit leader was lying on the ground, with small pebbles hitting his back like raindrops. He was certain that the leather armor, which was an ordinary piece of equipment, was completely damaged. The edges of the pebbles brought sharp stinging pain, but He knew that only by maintaining his current posture could he avoid harm to the greatest extent.

The continuous pain made him gradually numb, and soon, the bandit leader with a bloody back seemed to have stepped into the businessman's footsteps.He tilted his head and lay on the ground, motionless.

If such a situation happened in an open area in the wild, perhaps there would not be such serious consequences.But in this nearly airtight mine, it is definitely nothing less than a disaster——

Compared with the bandit leader, although he was far away from the explosion, Makuro's expression still became extremely serious. The big sword was unsheathed from his back, and with a majestic momentum from his shoulders, he held the sword in both hands and stepped forward. Taking a step forward, he stood in front of all the knights and mercenaries—the power of the storm gathered and compressed in front of him, forming a huge umbrella, and he set up a protective barrier——

When the turbulent airflow and flying gravel reached the giant umbrella, it was as if they had touched a solid thick wall, and the space behind the wall was calm and calm.

Although the knights and mercenaries were silent, such a scene made their hearts fall into admiration and worship.

As expected of the "Sword Skill Chosen One", the No.1 of Afron's younger generation, and the future Lord of the City.This kind of strength displayed was almost never seen before, and the mercenaries suddenly realized that they seemed to have an extra piece of material to boast about when chatting with others in the future.

But the ones who were even more shocked were the three young knights from the capital of Elva.

Cody and Lars stopped communicating with the people around them about sword skills—they stared at Markuro's shot, that inconspicuous sword contained exciting power, which was the reason for all of them. The yearning of the young nobles, the full explosion of the power of the [Awakening Realm] made them vaguely see a path to pursue strength.

As for the knight lady, Alisa, she fell into a complete stupor.She finally understood how ridiculous her challenges were in the City Lord's Mansion.This kind of astonishing talent and strength, at such an age, is rarely seen even in the capital where there are so many heroes.

At least, Lars, Cody, several of her older brothers, and some young nobles who pursued openly and secretly, absolutely do not have this level of strength.

very impressive!

Alisa turned her face slightly, looking at Markuro's back, and she felt a little hot in her heart.
