The Death List Novel - Chapter 201

Chapter 201 Three Major Forces

“Respected Grand Mage Holk, can you give us a detailed introduction of the three forces you mentioned just now?” Cora respectfully asked, “You know, we don’t know anything about the inner world. If we could have your guidance …”

“Ha, let me introduce you? It’s really troublesome. I knew it would become very troublesome in the end!” Holkernu nodded his mouth, his gaze hesitating as he muttered, “You can’t say too much about attracting people …”

Hearing the old man mutter, Qin Lun blinked at Michelle beside him. The centaur girl smiled and nodded.

“Sir Great Mage, please, can you introduce us?” Michelle walked to the sofa with her big watery eyes. She shook the old mage’s little arm and asked delicately, “Just give me a hint!”

“Ha, it’s a pity that such a good girl like you has been ruined by these people … Alright, alright! There’s nothing I can do about you!” Holk’s beard trembled and he leaned back on the sofa, stirring his fingers helplessly, “Where should we start? Mm-hmm, let’s start with the big guys from the Royal Knights of Victor …”

The Royal Knights of Victor were very different from the so-called Knights Order that everyone remembered. In fact, this Knights Order only had three or four real knights, and the rest were guards and retainers of the knights.

Most of the Knights were highly skilled warriors. Of course, there were also Magicians, Warlocks, Assassins, Archers, and other professions among the Knights’ retainers. In Holk’s description, even the high-ranking guards and retainers of the knights were close to him.

As for the real knights, even Holk had never seen them before. The actual number of knights could not be counted. He only knew that there were either three or four knights. Those knights were the true experts that had survived the Battle of the Gods until now. In the inner world, they were at the highest levels of the pyramids.

Two to three thousand years ago, the Royal Knights of Victor were the Royal Knights of Victor, the largest human kingdom in the world. They were also one of the main fighting forces of the intelligent races in the Battle of the Gods. Not only did they have a base in the southern hills, they also had a sphere of influence elsewhere on the continent of Greenland.

‘”Ha, if you want to become an outstanding warrior or knight, they are the best choice. However, I don’t like them. Those hypocrites are heavily guarded and are comparable to the bitter cultivators and Puritans of the Northern Plains. Even if nothing happens, they will always lash out at each other. It’s also a beautiful name: Training the Knights’ Will!” Holk twirled his beard and sank into his memories, “Thinking back …”

“Great Mage Holk, what about the shelter camp and the tower?” Several people in the hall spoke at the same time, interrupting Holk’s memoirs.

As the two of them communicated, they gradually came to understand this moody old mage. They knew that apart from some evil tastes, he wouldn’t kill people at will, so they instantly became much more courageous.

Moreover, if Holk started with “Thinking Back”, then there would be a long history of his own struggles and mindless thoughts. Moreover, they couldn’t stop, making everyone extremely regretful that they hadn’t interrupted him at the beginning.

‘”Ha, shelter camp and tower” Holk didn’t care about the interruptions. He was probably used to being interrupted at such a time.

The Tower was a small magician association that basically included all sorts of mages, priests, warlocks, summoners, astrology, spell formations, and other magical professions. Geographically, it was confined to the southern hills of the Greenland continent. However, it was closely linked to the mage associations of other regions and continents. The head of the organization was two legendary professional mages.

Although most of the tower’s members were law profession members, there was also a huge benefit for visitors from the World of Expressions to join the tower. The tower had a library with a large collection of books, and there were many other types of combat profession spells and martial skills. Moreover, most of the mages in the tower were obsessed with research and magic experiments, and they issued the most trivial missions.

The last refuge camp was the most complex of the three. There was no nominal leader in the camp, only a god named Anna Aldemis. In some myths and legends of the Nars world, she was the lowest ranked forest goddess and moon goddess.

According to legend, the plane that gave birth to Anna Aldemis was one of the smallest planes. It could not even be considered an upper plane and could only be called a half plane. The laws of the world in the plane were shattered, causing Anna Artemis’ godhead to not be completely formed. Compared to a true god, she could only be considered a demigod.

Anna Aldemis had an indifferent temperament. In ancient times, she did not have her own religion. She was generally regarded as a subordinate god by the intelligent races and classified as one of the major religions. It was precisely because of her unknown reputation and strength that she escaped the calamity of the Battle of the Gods.

After the formation of the inner world, Anna Aldemis lived in the silent forest of the southern hills and did not reveal her true body in front of others. There were many legends about her. Some said that she was a beautiful and young forest demoness with a flower crown on her head, some said that she was a pure and sacred unicorn, and others said that she was an ancient tree of wisdom in the deepest depths of the forest of silence.

If all the powerful beings in the Neri world were to be divided into factions, then Anna Eldemis should belong to the absolute neutral faction, neither supporting any side nor participating in any war.

The shelter camp was deep in the silence, and the composition of its members was extremely complex. There were fugitives, defeated warriors, secluded people with strange beliefs, and visitors from the outside world.

Whether their beliefs were evil or righteous, Anna Aldemis allowed them to find shelter in the silent forest and get what they needed everyday.

This Shen only did not personally participate in the management of the asylum camp. The manager of the camp was a spontaneous asylum committee formed from the very beginning.

Anna Artemis only left behind three iron laws for the camp. One was that killing forest creatures must be based on the need for life; Second, the battle between the camp members could only be a duel of equal numbers, and the winner had to personally bury the opponent’s corpse; The last rule was that once Silent Forest encountered an enemy, the members of the camp had to unite with the outside world.

After hearing Holk’s introduction, everyone fell into deep thought.

“Ha, I knew this bunch of guys would not pay attention to the old man’s nagging once they finished inquiring!” Holk muttered discontentedly. He stood up on the sofa and yawned.

“It won’t. Isn’t Michelle still talking to Grandpa Holk?” The centaur girl’s mind was the simplest. The important things that the old mage said were basically just bedtime stories. Seeing the old mage get up, he hurriedly rushed over and pinched the old mage’s shoulder with a smile.

“Mm-hmm, Michelle is the best!” The surprise in Holk’s eyes flashed, but he quickly revealed a wretched expression. He leaned back and rubbed his nightcap head against the Centaur girl’s plump chest.

The old mage quickly left with a few servant elves. After he left, the hall was filled with lively discussions, even Michelle happily joining in. Only Frank was still standing behind Qin Lun like a muffled gourd. His pupils behind the mask often revealed a trace of confusion, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Let’s join the tower. The trivial missions issued by the mages are just right for our small team. Furthermore, there’s also that library. There should be warriors and archers’ martial skills inside!” Cora said excitedly, her sea-blue skin flushed red.

“… The Royal Knights of Victor are also quite good!” Sass muttered softly.

There were many feudal empires in the history of Planet Esmira. As a man, he had a strong knight complex and admired those ancient knights with firm beliefs.

However, Sass was a strict wife, and under Cora’s perverted might, he didn’t dare to express a different opinion. He could only look pitifully at Qin Lun, Hill, and the others like a puppy, hoping that they could reverse his wife’s thoughts.

“The sanctuary is not bad, at least the rules are very free! Great Mage Holk does not belong to any of the three forces, so why don’t we ask him for his opinion?” Michelle rolled her eyes and shyly offered her opinion. As a centaur, she naturally yearned for the forest forces.

‘”Holk won’t give us any tendentious advice. Although this old mage is a bit moody, he understands better than anyone else. If he was willing to give us such advice, he would have said it earlier!” Qin Lun smiled at Michelle. “However, I feel that you can stay. The old man seems to admire you very much. If you ask him to learn magic, I estimate that he will most likely accept you as an apprentice!”

“I’ll go with everyone!” Michelle lowered her head, peeked at Qin Lun and whispered.

“Qin Lun, Hansen, what’s your opinion?” Hill blocked the Sars on the guild channel and asked the other two for their opinions.

“Hill, do you still need to ask? My choice will only be that!” Hansen glanced at Qin Lun beside him and said indifferently, “Qin Lun, what about you? Come with us, you want to part ways? This is your last chance!”

“Haha, why are you testing me again? I want to leave the two of you alone, so I won’t form a team with you and enter the Nars World!” Qin Lun shook his head and smiled. He stood up, “However, the final decision is to wait for the people from the three forces to arrive. Let’s observe them again!”

“Of course!” Hill and Hansen looked at each other with a smile on their faces. Qin Lun had indeed made the same choice as them. If he retreated, then he would not be a “Decomposer”.

“If nothing unexpected happens, the three of us and Frank will choose the shelter camp. Are you still willing to act together?” Hill turned around and smiled at the Susses and Michelle.
