Chapter 505: Skeleton King
Chapter 505 Skeleton King
Londock couldn't fathom what Mrs. Cashel was thinking, but deep down in his heart, Mrs. Cashel had been labeled as 'shrewd', 'cunning', 'ruthless', and even Zirabeka A wise man like the Colonel was so stubbornly taken care of, let alone play any tricks on his own.
Londock has a very objective evaluation of himself. He doesn't think he is a person who is good at intrigues. Now that Mrs. Cassel sent him, the best way is to complete the task step by step. That often backfires.
Three days later, according to the map Mrs. Cashel gave him, Londoc found the **** valley in the north of the undead kingdom.
Because there are a lot of iron ore on the surface, the bottom of this valley, which is hundreds of kilometers long, is almost blood-like dark red. From a distance, especially under the setting sun, it looks like a blood-red hell.
This is the area ruled by the Skeleton King. It is rumored that there are millions of skeletons in this valley, all kinds of evil skeletons, including humans, animals, and monsters.
Londoc came here, and he could sense a surging and rich death energy from a distance. In the center of the bottom of the valley stands a white circular tower, and the breath of death spirit is the most intense in it. It is the tower of bones where the Skeleton King lives.
Because of the strong energy of death, it is getting colder here. Although there is no snow, the cold wind is piercing to the bone. Even if Londoc is already a semi-transformed person, he can still feel the cold of more than minus forty degrees. It is almost difficult for ordinary people. survive in this climate.
Rondock looked at the tall Tower of Bones in the distance, which was actually Skeleton King's Mage Tower. According to Mrs. Cassel's information, Skeleton King was originally a magician. Magical attainment, with the help of Princess Mulesina, she was almost one step away from being promoted to the natural disaster level.
Londoc did not choose to infiltrate secretly, apparently infiltrating the mage tower of a legendary pinnacle sorcerer was not a wise choice.
From a distance, I saw a group of patrolling skeleton soldiers approaching. Those skeleton soldiers were not of high grade. The leader was only the official rank, and the ones behind were all apprentice rank. A faint green soul fire flickered in the dark eye sockets, and Londok thought to himself. It didn't take a minute for him to wipe out all this team of skeleton soldiers, but that was meaningless and could only annoy the Skeleton King, so Londok thought about it and walked out.
The patrolling skeleton soldiers suddenly became vigilant, and rushed up to surround Londoc.
"Hey! Listen, I'm here to visit Your Excellency Skeleton King, you go and report." Rondoc took a step back and immediately expressed his intention.
The skeleton soldier at the head stared at Londoc, and after a while, he suddenly stood still, as if it had suddenly broken. After about ten seconds, he moved again, but it was completely different from the personal feeling just now, a low and hoarse voice. It came: "Young man, who asked you to come to me?"
Londoc's heart moved, knowing that the consciousness of the Skeleton King was projected through the skeleton soldier, and he immediately replied: "Lord Skeleton King, I greet you on behalf of Lord Zero."
"Is No. Zero? Is he still alive?" Skeleton King really knew No. 0, and it sounded like an old acquaintance, which made Londok's heart move and thought to himself: "He directly asked No. 0 is still alive? This is What do you mean? Could it be that in this Skeleton King's impression, No. 0 is already dying? But... Mrs. Cassel is obviously very young and in good health! Or in the Skeleton King's impression, No. 0 is not a card at all. Mrs Searle?"
For a moment, many thoughts appeared in Londoc's mind, but he said calmly: "Master Zero is very good, this time I was sent here mainly to visit Your Excellency Skeleton King, and asked me to bring you a letter letter."
"Oh? The letter from No. 0 to me?" Skeleton King sneered meaningfully before saying, "In that case, come here."
After finishing speaking, the soul fire in the eyes of the skeleton soldier dimmed and returned to its previous appearance. He looked at Londoc without speaking, and then motioned for Londoc to follow him.
The speed of the skeleton patrol team was not fast. It took more than an hour for Londok to follow them to the bottom of the Tower of Bones. Fortunately, these skeleton soldiers led the way, and no battle broke out along the way, so Londok breathed a sigh of relief and walked away. When he came over, he found at least five or six legendary-level psionic fluctuations.
Rondo was secretly surprised. No wonder Mrs. Cassel wanted to cooperate with the Skeleton King. Obviously, the Skeleton King's strength is still higher than that of the Spider Queen. There are five or six legendary undead creatures under one hand. The Spider Queen is no more than three legendary ranks, including herself.
Came to the bottom of the Tower of Bones, the patrol team put down Londoc and left on their own.
In the next moment, with a bang, the door of the Tower of White Bones opened automatically.
Londoc is not afraid, and he is also very confident in his current strength. Although the Skeleton King's strength is very strong, he should not be an opponent, but if he just wants to escape, the opponent should not be able to stop him.
With this confidence, Londoc walked into the Tower of Bones.
After passing through a dark road, the front suddenly lit up, revealing an office.
Londok felt a faint spatial fluctuation just now. He knew that there was a space teleportation magic circle in that dark corridor, which could be teleported directly to various places in this mage tower. Directly teleport to extremely dangerous floors.
This office looks very human, and there are hardly any features of undead creatures, except for a skeleton in an elegant suit sitting behind the desk.
The skeleton's eye sockets were beating with green soul fires, looking at Londoc with an unexplained meaning, and that feeling was very uncomfortable.
"You are the one sent by No. 0 to deliver the letter?" Skeleton King slowly made a slightly hoarse voice.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Skeleton King, it's a pleasure to meet you." Rondok said calmly, but he was more careful in secret. He always felt that the Skeleton King had some bad intentions towards him.
"Where's the letter from No. 0?" Skeleton King said unhurriedly.
In fact, the Skeleton King doesn't like any outsiders. To some people, it seems like exile for him to be left unattended by Princess Mulesina, but he himself does not have such self-consciousness. He feels that he lives in his own The mage tower is very good. He quietly studies some interesting issues, concentrates on cultivation, and prepares to advance to the natural disaster level.
The last time he failed to hit the natural disaster grade, the Skeleton King did not think that it was because of his lack of quality, but Princess Mulesina was too hasty. The reason is that their characters and understanding of magic are fundamentally different.
Londock took out a letter from Mrs. Cassel to him before handing it over: "This is a handwritten letter from Lord Zero."
"Oh!" Skeleton King meaningfully looked at the letterhead sealed with magic, and reached out his hand to take it.
The moment the seal circle on the letterhead touched Skeletron's phalanx, it receded like melting ice and snow on the surface of the letterhead. If it wasn't for Skeleton King, if someone tried to forcibly open it, the letterhead would be automatically burned.
Skeleton King opened the envelope with a letter opener, took out the letter inside and read it quickly, but just halfway through, he looked at Londoc oddly, and then continued to read most of the rest in less than three minutes. , After reading the letter, the flame ignited directly, burning the letter without a trace of ashes, then looked at Londoc and said, "I understand, come with me!" up.
"Understood? Understand what?" Londoc was a little puzzled, and looked at the Skeleton King who came out from behind the desk alertly: "What's going on, can you explain clearly?"
"Oh? No. Zero didn't tell you?" Skeleton King said indifferently: "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you, as for No. 0... It seems to value you quite a bit, and even let me use undead magic to help you suppress the side effects of half-transformed people. ."
Londoc frowned. He didn't believe Skeletron's nonsense at all, and he didn't believe Mrs. Cashel would be so kind to him.
Be diligent for nothing, be a traitor or steal!
It can be seen from Mrs. Cassel's way of dealing with Colonel Zirabeka that this is a woman who will do anything to achieve her goals, and everything she pays is purposeful.
"How are you going to help me suppress the side effects?" Rondok asked tentatively. Even though he knew that neither Mrs. Cassel nor the Skeleton King were good stubborn people, the side effects of suppressing and transforming people were a temptation that Rondok couldn't refuse. Left alone, with the current situation, it will take at most five years for him to be completely distorted and dehumanized by the side effects of human transformation, and become a monster that has completely lost his humanity. What's the point of living like that.
The Skeleton King stood in front of Londoc, he was two heads taller than Londoc, his eyes were condescending, and his eyes were full of fire, with a faint mockery: "Young man, you don't have to believe me, or leave here now, I won't block, and I won't force it, make a choice! Trust me...or leave!"
"But..." Rondock raised his head, tangled in his heart: "How can I be sure that you are not malicious?"
Skeleton King spread his hands and said: "There is no guarantee, no promise, don't forget young man, you are the one who begged me, and No. 0 used up a favor I owed him back then, otherwise why would you think No. 0 would let me go? Do I help him?" He walked out of the office regardless of whether Rondock agreed or not.
