The Death List Novel - Chapter 427
Chapter 427 Cause Of Natural Disasters
“Milleras, I think Ferral is a little different from before!” After coming out of the stone room, Elistine frowned and asked the Prince of the Sun Fairy with a doubtful expression.
“Is that so?” Milleras pursed his lips and looked at the stone room behind him. He lowered his voice and said, “I have the same feeling. However, in my opinion, it may have something to do with the ancient inheritance. You know that many of the elves born from the fruit of the World Tree are reincarnated elves. As the inheritance awakens, memories from their previous lives will also fuse into their bodies …”
‘”Yes, I know. Elder Edeline told me about it once before. However, she said that this inheritance is just a short memory fragment. It’s just like a magic photo. It won’t have much effect on my consciousness!” Elistine muttered to himself dejectedly, “Ferrari shouldn’t have turned into another person, right?”
“It shouldn’t be. After all, Ferrari only awakened his inheritance after he became an adult. Perhaps it was just a short-term effect!” Milleras was a little uncertain, but he could only pretend to be calm at this moment and calm down the elven druids first.
…
“Eh? Why are you all gathered outside? Have you found a way out?”
Half an hour later, Joey brought Pycnoda out of the stone room. Seeing that Elistine and the others were still at the door, he felt a little strange.
‘”The terrain here is very simple. There’s no need to worry about it. This stone room is right in the middle of the tower. There’s a circular corridor outside. There’s a spiral stone staircase leading to the upper and lower floors on the right. However, we were worried about the defenses inside the tower, so we didn’t continue to investigate!” Milleras said cautiously, “Ferrari, did you get any information from the Lich?”
“Well, with our previous judgment is somewhat different, the tower of Durrag’s remaining undead is not much. Most of them have spread to the outside world. A large portion of them have now entered the Sharp Teeth Forest south of the Bird’s Gate and the green plains northeast of Ames. Only a small number remain near the Tower of Durrag and are scattered in the wilderness outside the Tower. ”
“As for the traps we were worried about, the undead didn’t set them up much. This is a forbidden zone of life itself, and few people have stepped foot in it for thousands of years. The undead aren’t worried about being invaded by any foreign enemies at all,” Joey said casually after reviewing Hashid’s interrogation.
“Filar, are you alright? Who is she?” Elistine pulled Joey’s sleeve and looked at Pycnoda behind him, his eyes full of vigilance.
“She’s my alchemy doll. She has some special abilities.” Joey grinned and said nonchalantly.
“Oh!” Elistine heaved a sigh of relief and smiled again. “Since there are no undead guarding the Tower of Durrag, let’s hurry up and retreat. I remember that the Tower of Durrag has already entered the realm of the Gate of Bird if it goes further north!”
“You guys go first. Just leave behind some signs along the way. I still have something to do here. I’ll catch up to you before dark.” Joey’s eyes lit up, revealing a wicked smile as he slowly shook his head.
“Filar, this isn’t a good idea!” Milleras frowned slightly. He just looked at Joey’s expression and sighed. “If you want to leave, then let’s go together. To be able to walk here alive, my mission as envoy has been overfulfilled. I don’t want to leave my companion behind no matter what.”
“Sir Ferrari, is there any other treasure hidden in this Durrag Tower that tempts you?” Al raised his head and looked at Joey craftily with his big, agile eyes.
“That’s right, there are indeed things that make my heart race, but there are also great risks.” Joey then told him everything Pikonoda had learned from Hashid.
The Gates of Am and Bod were close to Sword Bay. As the natural boundary between the two countries, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was east-west, but it was still affected by the ocean monsoon and the climate.
As a result of these decades, the western continents along the coast of Sword Bay have developed rapidly, and their populations have increased dramatically. Regardless of whether it is the demand for land or resources are expanding, and then affecting the geographical environment. The extensive use of magic crystal machinery, urban infrastructure and commercial road projects have largely destroyed the vegetation of the continent, which in turn has affected the climate and temperature.
For Am, Tyser, and Bode Gate, humans didn’t notice this change, only occasionally wondering about the increasing frequency and humidity of the monsoon that hits the coast each year.
However, for the undead of the Twin Towers and the Tower of Durrag, the cold and warm monsoon several times a year was a catastrophe. In the past, monsoon winds that could not penetrate the mountains due to the difference in vegetation and temperature could now travel more than a hundred miles until they reached the middle of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Whether it was the southeasterly winds of spring and summer or the northwestern winds of autumn and winter, the clouds of death above the undead would be blown away. After decades, although outsiders were unable to detect the changes in the two forbidden zones, the high-grade undead here understood that the forbidden zone was coming to an end.
Thus, under some external guidance, the undead of the two forbidden zones finally gave up wandering aimlessly for thousands of years and began to spread to the outside world. They wanted to establish a nation of undead with the Cloud Mist Mountain Range as the center.
Of course, it wasn’t hard to do that. Unlike other intelligent races, the undead can grow to a stunning level in a short period of time without changing their populations for thousands of years.
Back then, the scattered undead that the Ames had encountered in the Undead Valley was part of the entire incident. If Qin Lun and the others hadn’t destroyed them, the undead would have gathered a large army in the valley and attacked the Ames Guards together with the undead that had invaded the Viper Forest.
Once the Anm Guards were destroyed, the undead from the two forbidden zones would pour into the two rivers of Anm. As a densely populated area, once it was engulfed by the undead, it would immediately be a catastrophe.
After obtaining enough corpses and people, the Cloud Mist Undead, who had originally only been suffering from scabies, could instantly swell into the heart of the entire continent. The elves who created the resplendent civilization were unable to resist the fertile humans, but the undead who regarded the living as a source of population could in turn use the huge population base of humans to bury human civilization.
For thousands of years, it was not like the high-level undead of the two forbidden zones hadn’t thought about these things. However, first, they still had a small amount of memories and did not want the dead to replace the living to rule the world. Second, after becoming undead, they had already lost their goal and desire to survive. Conquering the world or something like that was a bit boring for undying undead.
Until now, the two forbidden zones of life were about to be destroyed. The undead didn’t have a place to stay, and with the guidance of outsiders, they finally took this step.
“So, humans are in big trouble!” Milleras laughed like a fox, gloating over his misfortune.
To the Sun Elves, most of them were going to Evergathering Island. They didn’t care what the continent of Ferren would look like. Although most of the human kingdoms and elves on the continent did not fight on the surface, humans were filled with all sorts of desires and utilitarianism, so there was no good evaluation in the elves’ hearts.
“Prince Ferrari, let’s not talk about the human troubles for now. Is there any treasure hidden in this Durrag Tower?” Lorraine’s eyes widened as he asked curiously. The young dwarves had listened to many legends in the mouths of their fathers and were very interested in treasures.
“The Lich named Hashid is not very clear about this. He only knows that the underground part of the Tower of Durrag used to be the library of the Uviron Fairies. Before the destruction of Uviron’s Fourth Richard Kingdom, this place was abandoned by the Fairies without being cleaned up.”
Hearing Joey’s explanation, Pycnoda rolled her eyes because the murderer was not telling the truth. As a high-grade undead, Hashid had made it clear before his death that the Tower of Durrag had half a Nessie Scroll hidden within it. It was very likely that it would be stored by Demigod Lich Rendy in the underground library of the Tower of Durrag.
The treasure Joey was talking about was this half-scroll of Nether Scrolls, and the danger was naturally that he didn’t know if there were any Demigod Liches who had left the Tower of Durrag. Logically speaking, with the Demigod Lich’s perception, if they were in the tower, then everyone would be in danger.
However, Hashid’s memories showed that something had happened to the Demigod Lich in an experiment a few years ago. The Lich’s body was almost motionless, no different from a vegetable. It could only rely on alchemy statues and undead beasts to move.
Of course, there was still a misunderstanding between Parknolda and Joey. How could Joey care about the Nether Scroll? The treasure he was talking about was actually the Demigod Lich. It was because of something more fun that Joey gave Hashid a good time and hurried out to look for the “treasure.”
“Uviron Fairy’s library, let’s go down and take a look!” Lorraine circled around excitedly and said impatiently.
“Ferrari, what is that thing in your hand?” The attentive Elistine suddenly pointed at a staff in Joey’s hand and asked.
“Oh, it’s that lich’s staff. It seems to be a sacred artifact of the undead. It can increase the consciousness of the lich and spread it to control low-level undead.” Joey raised the staff in his right hand and casually threw it at Elistine.
Elistine caught the staff and looked at it curiously. This necromancer artifact was a short staff. At the lower end of the staff were two slender shins of creatures, twisted and twisted like two white snakes. At the top was a huge purple gem. It was polished into the shape of a diamond, but its size was no less than the size of a palm. If it was placed in the Federation of Earth, it would definitely be the world’s number one purple diamond.
Through the identification of the starry sky, the quality of this staff was very high. It was distinguished by the grade of the apostle’s equipment. It should belong to the order of high-grade legendary items. After all, it was not an easy task for a Lich that could only control hundreds of cannon fodder to control thousands of undead.
Unfortunately, this staff, like the World Tree longbow in Qin Lun’s hand and the Throne Sword from Iron Star Fort, could not be recognized by the Shattered Star System. Although they could be brought into the starry sky, they would lose their equipment spirituality and could only become top grade equipment materials.
If it was an ordinary item, Qin Lun could still use broken crystal stones to fuse with the Laws. However, the spirit contained in this item made from treasure-grade materials was not something that ordinary broken crystal stones could control. After they were brought into the starry sky, their spirituality would be completely lost and they would become blacksmithing materials.
“Oh, right, Ferrari, where’s the necromancer you caught?” Milleras suddenly remembered something. “Let him show us the way. There should be a lot of trouble left!”
“It? I’m afraid it won’t be able to lead us anymore!” Joey licked his lips and revealed a sinister smile.
