Fast pass mission

When the sun went down the next day, Gao Shannan came out again. This time it was different from the previous two days. There was a very strange smell in the air, a bit like rancid but strange and not unpleasant.

Gao Shannan was overjoyed, it seemed that he was about to reach his destination.

He followed the smell for a while, and finally saw two undead soldiers at the entrance of a huge tree hole. One of them was the first to spot him, and raised his spear and said, "Who are you?"

Gao Shannan showed his face, and the undead soldier glanced at him and said, "Are you born recently?"

Gao Shannan nodded.

The two undead soldiers looked at each other, one of them took a step back, while the other quickly pierced his spear into his body.The iron spear had no temperature, and the angle was tricky. Even though there was no flesh, the internal organs that had only grown for a few days were pierced through.

"........."

Gao Shannan fell down, and when he woke up again, the guard said in a calm tone: "You can go in."

"Why..." Gao Shannan made a sound.

He was holding his throat and opening his mouth a bit ridiculously, and the hand outstretched in front of him no longer looked like a skeleton, but was covered with a layer of red muscles.

He looked at other parts of his body. Except for the muscles growing in his hands, feet and face, the rest were still bones.

"Your recovery ability is quite fast." The guard took off the helmet on his face, brown hair and green eyes, half of his cheeks were rotten. "It's really boring to carry this, can you watch for me for a while?"

"Hey!" Another guard stopped him. "If Master Sheila finds out, she will kill you!"

"What does that matter?" The guard put the helmet on Gao Shannan's head indifferently, and then took off his own armor and put it on for him. "It's hard to find someone who is similar in size to me and who is not lazy. You’re just a fool! Let’s not talk about it, my face is so itchy, you will scratch it for me later, and tear off the skin to see if there are any bugs.”

Gao Shannan: "..."

"I……"

"Ah, by the way, your job is to guard here. If someone wants to go in, you can just stab the spear into his stomach. If he can survive, then he is our partner. Let him in. If not Ha ha." Pointing to the bushes not far away, the guard said, "Throw the corpse in, and someone will clean it up."

"But……"

"Don't worry, you have to believe in yourself. At the beginning, I became a guard in such a daze. Now that I think about it, it has been 100 years. I will come to change shifts with you in the middle of the night. Then you can go to the carnival. .”

"........."

Gao Shannan held the three-meter-long spear in his hand and felt a little overwhelmed. At this time, another guard came over and said, "Don't listen to Charlie's nonsense. He will never come over to change with you. Maybe he has escaped to The other side of the forest."

"What do you mean?" There was still some time before the opening of the Tongsheng Day, and he was not in a hurry.

"Oh, Charlie didn't want to stay here a long time ago. He is different from me. He was killed by Lord Sheila and became an undead tribe. He was dissatisfied with Lord Sheila long ago, so he escaped on the same birthday. .”

"Then why me?"

The guard didn't answer his question, but changed the subject. "Are you here for the birthday party?"

"Yes."

"Then you died recently?"

"Yes."

"You're so lucky." The guard tutted twice and took off his helmet. Unlike the one just now, this guard had half of his head cut off above his ears, "My name is Nuo Qi, what's your name? "

"Marcus." Gao Shannan said.

"Okay, Marcus, were you thrown into the magic circle when you died?"

"not at all."

"Huh? No? Then how did you die? People who died in just a few days will not become what you look like, and they will definitely not become undead."

Gao Shannan didn't expect him to ask such a question, so he hesitated, "Someone in my... family belongs to the undead tribe, so after I died, I became an undead tribe directly."

Nuo Qi's eyes became brighter, he held Gao Shannan's shoulders tightly and shook very hard, "Is this true? Marcus, as long as one person in the family has the blood of the undead, the others will die directly Become an undead?"

"Uh...probably."

If the Celestial Clan girl in the original book is not wrong.

It is possible to intermarry between different races, but the two parties in the intermarriage are not blessed by their respective races, and most of the children born are deformed and do not live long.

But if they survive to adulthood, the deformed child will gain the abilities of both parents, and thus be blessed by the gods, and be summoned to the temple to be a subordinate of the gods.

For example, the Celestial Clan Girl is a hybrid between the Celestial Clan and humans. She has the unique flying skills and powerful magical talents of the Celestial Clan, and at the same time has the unique cleverness and cunning of humans.

The disadvantage is that the wings on her back cannot be retracted freely like the Sky Clan.

Putting these aside for the time being, Gao Shannan looked at Nuo Qi's pensive look and was secretly vigilant, but before he could ask any more questions, he heard an old man's voice coming from the tree hole.

"Charlie, Notch, come down."

"Okay." Nuo Qi agreed, he put his helmet back on, and said to Gao Shannan: "If Master Sheila asks, you can tell me everything you know."

……What do I know?

Gao Shannan was depressed and puzzled. The two of them jumped down the tree hole together. Unlike what they imagined, they didn’t come down like a slide. From the moment they stepped into the tree hole, there was a burst of intense light from their feet. Gao Shannan was a little surprised by the pattern of the magic circle. According to Marcus's memory, he did not expect that the undead tribe would celebrate the same birthday in this way.

The magic circle transported them to a strange place, the sky was already dark, the moon was high, dead trees were everywhere, crows could not go around, and a more intense rotten smell appeared in the air.

They were walking on an extremely remote path, and Nuo Qi walked in front.

"Quickly smell it!" He stopped suddenly and looked intoxicated, "Wow - what a disgusting smell... One can't do this, and there are indeed many of our kind today ah."

Gao Shannan: "..."

He disagrees with the aesthetics of the undead.

"Let's hurry up, Marcus, maybe you can still see Lord Sheila."

"That Master Sheila..." Gao Shannan paused, and said, "I've heard rumors about her, may I ask if those are true?"

"Of course! Marcus, you doubt Sir Sheila! This is simply unforgivable. If it weren't for the fact that you were born a few days ago, I really wish I could throw you in the sun and let you experience the brutality of exposure!" Noch Excited, he wanted to turn around and beat Gao Shannan, but he was stopped by the thick metal armor, so he had to give up. His voice came from the helmet, a little muffled, "Master Sheila is the savior of our undead clan! Without her, we They are still the watchdogs of the vampires! Those vampires are the most abominable! Using mental oppression to make us work for them, isn’t it just bullying us and won’t die! If it weren’t for Lord Sheila...ah, Lord Sheila!”

Nuo Qi looked forward in surprise, "Master Xila, you, why do you..."

"Thank you, Nuoqi." Sheila smiled slightly. She was about 30 years old, with black hair and black eyes, fair skin, and pretty facial features, but the nasolabial folds on her cheeks were extremely obvious. She was wearing a black dress. Pulling up the hem of the skirt with both hands, bowed slightly, and walked south towards the mountain with a standard etiquette: "Hello, Lord Marcus."

"Uh... this, this..." Nuoqi looked at this, then at that, "what's going on? Sir Sheila? Why do you know this newcomer..."

"Newcomer?" Sheila repeated, staring straight at Gao Shannan, with the same smile on her face, and said, "He's not a newcomer, Nuoqi, he's the famous magus Marcus .”

"what?!"

The south side of the mountain is still calm, but my heart is churning. How does she know me?How did she find me?It was only two days since I died and decided to attack the undead first. During this period, I didn't communicate with anyone. Is someone watching me?No, it's impossible, if someone is watching me, I can't find it, is it... Gerald?

That's not right, if it's Gerald, Sheila can't call me a magister, but should be called a teacher, so... who is it?

"Ah, Mr. Magister, please don't look at me with such malicious eyes." Sheila turned sideways and gave them the black path, "Come on, Mr. Magister, don't you want to look at us?" Is it a once-in-a-hundred-year birthday for the undead clan?" After a pause, she said softly, "As you, who are also the undead clan."

Gao Shannan's heart shuddered, and he looked at this woman again.

Sheila kept her composure, and bent her body lower than before, but there was no humiliation or flattery on her face.In fact, Gao Shannan admired this type of women very much. If he hadn't taken Marcus' shell at this time, he would have said some soft words without temper.

Gao Shannan nodded. He took off the helmet on his head. He didn't care about Nuoqi's hostile eyes. He looked at her and said, "As you said, I'm an undead now."

The book "Code of Immortality" clearly states that there are ten major races on the continent of Yaqia. They are God Race, Dragon Race, Elf Race, Sky Race, Night Race, Blood Race, Undead Race, Orc Race, Dwarf Race, and Human Race according to their strength.Among them, the blood race and the undead race are the most closely related ones, because the natural spiritual power of the blood race people is a more powerful nemesis than the sun for the immortal undead race.

After all, as long as the undead can live to be five hundred years old, the threat of the sun to them is already minimal.

And the vampire, even if it is a commoner, the natural mental oppression is enough to kill five hundred undead people who are five hundred years old on the spot, so for thousands of years before Sheila really took power, the undead were the lackeys of the vampire, meat shields ,slave.

Sheila did not lead the way for them. She and Nuoqi sandwiched Gao Shannan in front of each other. According to Nuoqi's guidance, the road under their feet became more and more difficult. The touch is very uncomfortable.

They soon arrived at the meeting place for the birthday party.

Gao Shannan was shocked and speechless for a moment.

From the steep mountain road, it suddenly became clear that the place they were standing on was a steep cliff, and a group of mountains surrounded the edge of the cliff. This huge cliff was as inconspicuous as a depression among the mountains, but on the opposite side of the cliff was a Countless undead races looked at this side.

Below the cliff, it was almost filled with corpses.

Gao Shannan only glanced down, the densely packed tens of millions of corpses piled up in a haphazard manner, the stench and rotting smell filled the nostrils, and a thick blue smoke filled the sky, Gao Shannan almost took a step back.

But he didn't move, couldn't move.

Sheila walked in the front, and she stepped on the pile of corpses to the middle.

"Everyone!" Sheila said, "Now, it's the once-in-a-hundred-year birthday of our undead clan!"

Deafening.

The cheers of the undead clan came from all around, almost breaking through the sky.

Sheila made another gesture, and the voice suddenly stopped, leaving only the echo.

At this time, a child came down from the opposite side. The child was about ten years old, with blue hair and a delicate appearance. He stepped on the corpse and walked in front of Sheila with a blank expression.

Sheila knelt down to him, and the two of them cut their wrists together and dripped them into a black bowl. When the blood was full, the black bowl suddenly lifted into the air, and a river of red water gushed out of the bowl.

The water droplets slowly glowed on the corpse, Gao Shannan looked at it, and was so shocked that he didn't know how to feel.

After all, I still underestimated the undead.

He also finally understood why Marcus wanted to be the first to destroy the undead.

Because the piles of corpses stood up unsteadily, death was like a lamp being extinguished, and it was against the law of heaven to bring the dead back to life. It turned out that the immortality of the undead clansmen was all transformed from human corpses.

Before that, Gao Shannan always thought that he was an exception, and the general undead clansmen were born from the combination of men and women just like other clans.

It wasn't until two hours later that the water in the bowl was exhausted, and the number of undead people around was more than half of what it was at the beginning.

"The rest are useless." Nuo Qi said with some regret.

"Where did you find these corpses?" Gao Shannan asked.

Nuoqi gave him a strange look, "We have had the ability to drive corpses since the day we woke up, and these corpses are of course summoned by us."

Gao Shannan's face froze, and he thought in his heart that if the undead army took the lead in the subsequent war, they would be almost invincible, but on second thought, it was useless to be smashed into slag directly by the sun.

In the book, every time the undead army appears on the scene, the situation changes, the sky is dark, and the sun is covered, but the only one that can cover the sun is the blood bat of the blood queen...

Thinking about it this way, Gao Shannan had an epiphany.

Sheila can't move yet, regardless of how she knows his identity, but as Sheila, who is called the ear of the wind in the book, intelligence collection should not be underestimated. She has ambitions and he has goals, so the two of them may have a good discussion one time.

original:

Gerald smiled and said, "Sophia, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Sophia turned her head to look at him, her expression was a little lonely, but it was fleeting. She picked up the night dagger in her hand and said to Gerald: "We haven't compared each other for a long time, do you want to try now?"

In the wild?

Gerald was immediately displeased, it was a disgrace in his life, he thought of Marcus's proud face, and suddenly felt sick, he snorted and said: "I'll go see if Marcus is dead !"

"You just came out of there..."
