The Death List Novel - Chapter 440
Chapter 440 Reassembly
“Ka!” After Qin Lun gently pressed down a bump on the surface of the metal box, the exquisite quadrangle spread out like a detachable Magic Cube. Finally, it formed a flat metal plate, about one centimeter thick and the size of a washbasin.
A black bead the size of a thumb was quietly embedded in the center of the metal plate. Qin Lun carefully picked up the bead and put it into his storage space.
After putting away the bead, Qin Lun heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking back to Angelo’s arrangements, he couldn’t help but feel a trace of coldness. This pearl was not a treasure. It was a high concentration elemental alchemy product.
Originally, it was only the elemental residue of Angelo’s failed experiment. However, the red-robed mage quickly discovered that the structure of this material was extremely unstable and could easily explode. It had to be forcefully wrapped in high-strength metal and engraved with lazy symbols to stabilize it.
In other words, Angelo accidentally invented a high-explosive bomb that would explode if opened in the wrong way.
Of course, compared to ordinary bombs, the materials were too expensive. Although it was very powerful, because it was an elemental item, the explosion range was only two to three meters, so it was not very practical.
However, Angelo did not lie to Qin Lun. This metal box was indeed a treasure. However, the treasure was not a high explosive elemental bead, but the layer of metal that wrapped around it. This small, heavy metal was actually a very precious meteorite, possessing excellent magical conductivity and ductility.
Then how precious was the Meteorite Metal? For example, its status in forging materials was equivalent to that of a dragon’s biomaterials.
After separating the elemental beads, Qin Lun stored the meteorite iron into his storage space. Thinking back, he had already received several top-grade blacksmithing materials during his adventure. Thurntal’s magical sword, the World Tree longbow, the undead sacred artifact contributed by Lich Hashid, and so on.
However, compared to the value of these items, the so-called precious materials were not worth mentioning. If there was a choice, then of course the original was more valuable. Thurntal’s magical octagonal sword was probably only of dark gold quality, but the World Tree Bow and the Undead Saint Weapon were very likely two legendary weapons.
When they returned to the shattered starry sky, it would be a waste of heaven and earth to disassemble them into materials like this.
…
Three days later, at noon, when Qin Lun was in his room reading a copy of the Continental History that Milleras had copied from the Obelisk of Uviron, Lorraine hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.
“Faye, Ferrari, Miss Rice sent a message from the west of the city. He, they’re back, they’re back!” Lorraine was out of breath, but his face was filled with joy.
“Oh, you’re back?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he jumped out of bed. After resting for nearly a week in the Birunda Monastery, he finally waited for Kelly, Robin, and the others to arrive.
As a quest node, Bird’s Gate could actually return on his own. However, in this way, he wouldn’t be able to obtain the rewards for missions related to the guild, especially the original version of the Ancient Road shared by the Lost Guild.
This reward must be submitted by the leaders of the two guilds, Stark and Robin. Stark may be dead now, but Nicole is still alive.
“Let’s go and pick them up together!” Qin Lun tidied up his appearance and followed Lorraine out of the room.
When he arrived at the lobby of the monastery, he discovered that other than Paikonoda, everyone else had also come out. Elistine’s face was still a little pale, but his spirits were much better.
It was the first time that Milleras had walked out of his room. However, at first glance, anyone could see that he had lost a lot of weight. His handsome face was now sunken, and his eyes were filled with thick black circles. His mental state was pretty good.
“Have you finished copying?” Qin Lun laughed and teased.
“Most of the important inheritances have been recorded. However, there is still not enough time. Many books on magic have to be given up!” Milleras shook his head and said angrily, “I’ll give you guys a break!”
Qin Lun smiled. He didn’t say anything. He knew that Milleras was referring to the Theopian Moon Fairy who was now composed of Jondas and Anke.
After all, Milleras was actually very satisfied. He wasn’t a mage, so he couldn’t understand most of the magic books recorded on the obelisk. Especially the spells of the Uviron Fairies, which were different from the current Fairy languages.
The translation of the Sun Elf Prince was very difficult. To be able to record all the important inheritances in seven days was already a remarkable achievement.
…
“It’s them! They’re coming!” Looking at the black dots on the horizon, Lorraine jumped up happily. Emily, who was beside him, also stretched her swan neck and stood on tiptoe to look into the distance.
Although Rice, who had first met her comrades, sent a message two hours ago, the Lost Rookies had a large communication range. The others had been waiting for a long time in the western suburbs of Bird’s Gate before they saw the returning team.
Qin Lun secretly glanced at the young dwarf and shook his head.
Although the communication range of the fortress guild was smaller than that of the Lost guild, Qin Lun had basically gotten the information about the guild from Loner. However, Nicole didn’t seem to be in a high mood and hadn’t spoken on the guild channel.
Amongst the characters who died with Kelly and the others, only the red-robed mage Angelo survived. The rest, whether it was the Bonny Knights of the Ames Guards or the Dwarf Elder Lowell, were all killed in the Undead Valley.
After Qin Lun captured Lich Hashid, the army of the undead had lost all command as the youth had expected. Although the three Death Knights had their own consciousness, they didn’t have the Undead Sacred Artifact in Hashid’s hands, so they couldn’t command so many low-grade Undead.
In the end, Kelly relied on the martial artist’s extreme strength and agility to escape from the Undead Valley and rescue Robin. The other lost member who escaped was Boss the Thief.
Although Perth was only a First Grade, the Thief profession itself had a very strong concealment ability. After Hashid was taken away by Qin Lun, there was no longer a stealth Eye Demon in the valley. He and Longer of the fortress were able to escape easily in the end.
As for the fortress guild, other than Long’er, the others weren’t that lucky. Stark knew that he lacked mobility and would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the death knight, so he stayed behind with Philip to cover for the others.
In the previous world, the fortress guild had suffered a heavy blow, losing their Guild Leader. This time, he actually made the same mistake again, sacrificing the Guild Leader again, and this time, he suffered even greater losses. In the end, he only managed to escape Nicole and Loner. The Silver Team title that he had been trying his best to maintain was completely meaningless.
Under the sunset, five or six silhouettes dragged their long shadows towards the crowd.
“Why are there only these few people?” Lorraine cried out in alarm. His gaze swept past the face that was walking towards him. When he saw that there was no familiar figure in the team, his face instantly turned pale and he sat down on the ground.
“Teacher!” Emily burst into tears of joy as she opened her hands and sprinted towards the red-robed mage, burying her head in Angelo’s embrace.
“You survived, very good, very good!” Angelo stroked Emily’s hair with satisfaction, raised his head and smiled at Qin Lun to express his gratitude.
“Guild Leader Robin, Sister Kelly, nice to see you again!” Milleras let go of the prince’s reserved demeanor and smiled heartily when he reunited with his friends who were separated by life and death.
“Let’s go back to the other halls first. We’ve already prepared food and hot water for everyone!” Elistine smiled like a flower. However, seeing his comrades coming back, at least, the kind elven druid’s eyes still carried a trace of undetectable sorrow.
The comrades who returned were a little silent. Apart from Les, who was holding Robin, who was laughing heartlessly, the rest of them had unconcealable exhaustion on their faces. They were different from Qin Lun and the others. Even though they had escaped from the Undead Valley, the journey north to Bird’s Gate was still arduous and dangerous. They had suffered a lot along the way.
When they first escaped from the Undead Valley, they didn’t have time to reunite. The undead that surged out of the valley like a tidal wave followed their footsteps and entered the Wen Lake region. Fortunately, due to the previous battle of this group, the Undead Tide did not spread to too many places. In the end, they were exterminated by the arriving Ames Guards one by one.
Their struggle, though not rewarding to the apostles, was of great significance to the people living in the Amur and Amur rivers valleys. For this reason, the Amur Guards specially sent people over, intending to escort the Hulan merchant group to Ascatra.
However, apart from the overjoyed Hulan Merchant Guild, Robin and the others rejected the escort of the Ames Guards. Without the burden of Milleras, the apostles could go on their way alone. After reducing the target, he had indeed avoided the possible sniper attacks of the Santalin Forest, allowing him to safely pass through the Viper Forest and the Sharp Teeth Forest and enter the territory of the Bird Gate.
…
“What should I call you now? Prince Ferrar, or Qin Lun?” Carrie leaned lazily on the sofa with a glass of milk in her hand. Her freshly washed hair was no longer tied into a ponytail, and it fell over her shoulders like this. The previously shrewd and powerful female martial artist’s nerves relaxed, revealing a rare charm.
“Lord Kelly, call me Qin Lun!” Qin Lun rubbed his nose with an embarrassed smile. “I’m sorry for hiding it from you for so long!”
“Nothing much. We belong to two teams. It’s only natural for us to be on guard.” Kelly looked at Qin Lun with a faint smile and said, “Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for taking care of Les. Without you, she probably wouldn’t have survived!”
“Yes, yes!” Qin Lun felt the corner of his mouth twitch from his laughter as he thought about why Kelly wanted to talk to him alone.
“By the way, I forgot to tell you that Nicole has decided to leave the Apostle Filling Tombstone. The two remaining members of the fortress team will join the Lost!” Kelly shook the milk in her hand and said casually, “So, what do you plan to do next?”
