The Death List Novel - Chapter 613

Chapter 613 Land Of Death

“Hey, wake up!”

Seaver, who was sleeping, suddenly heard a familiar voice. Then, a bone-chilling chill permeated his entire body, as if he was standing naked in a snowstorm.

Schiff couldn’t help but shiver as he opened his eyes blankly.

Qin Lun threw down the basin and looked expressionlessly at the president of the Hulan Chamber of Commerce, who was playing around on the bed. He was in a bad mood for no reason, and he knew that Hill and Rand were watching a joke not far behind him. After all, he rarely saw such impatient and impetuous looks.

“You … who are you?” Seaver’s eyes gradually became focused. Although he had been drunk before, the moment he woke up, he immediately realized that he had caused trouble.

He wasn’t a shrewd person. He was usually supported by Old butler, so he didn’t have much experience in life. However, after all, he had traveled to Tyser and Bird’s Gate several times and had seen some of the world.

“You guys, that … I’ll pay the boss back for the drinks. It’s just that I haven’t had much money these past few days.” Schiff rubbed his arms and muttered in a low voice. His entire body was drenched in cold water, and the temperature at night became somewhat unbearable.

“Wipe it clean first!” Qin Lun glanced at him and threw a towel over. At the same time, he wiped his face and removed the disguise of the Illusory Spirit Leather. He said softly, “Take a closer look. Do you recognize me?”

“You, you are … Ferrari Moonlight!” Seaver had just wiped his face halfway when his hand froze. His eyes slowly widened and he jumped up like an electric shock. “You’re still alive, you, you know I … no, Elistine … and Idrya …”

Halfway through Schiff’s words, his throat seemed to be stuffed. Her mouth trembled, but she was speechless. Her face was bloodshot, and her eyes were slowly moist, as if she would cry in the next moment.

Qin Lun looked at him and his expression softened. He patted his back and said softly, “Don’t worry, speak slowly!”

‘”Wow ~ ~” Seaver suddenly hugged Qin Lun forcefully and grinned, tears streaming down his face. “Housekeeper Mason is dead, old Mason is dead …”

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up, and an old gentleman who was always neat and polite, Mason Hulan, Old butler of the Hulan family, appeared in his mind. The last time they entered Toril, they had dealt with this old man. He was a shrewd and experienced noble butler, and was considered the greatest wealth of the Hulan Clan.

“Where’s Elistine? What exactly happened to you?” Qin Lun frowned slightly. He didn’t care about Old butler’s life or death. He just wanted to know the current situation of the elven druid as soon as possible.

“Qin Lun, let him eat first!” Hill brought a bowl of hot soup and handed it to Seaver.

As the noble drank the hot soup, the chill on his body gradually dissipated, and his mood calmed down a lot. He slowly began to tell the story of what happened to them a month ago.

In fact, a month ago, it was the second time that the Hulan Chamber of Commerce had travelled between Tyser and the Gate of Bod. The first time was when the Japanese Fairy Envoy met them. At that time, the mercenaries of the Chamber of Commerce were forcibly recruited by the Ames Guards to solve the problem of the Undead Valley.

In the Undead Valley, the Lost-Fortress alliance led by Kelly and Robin was surrounded by the death knights and the undead. Qin Lun, or Joey, brought Elistine and a few others to the Durrag Tower. Not many of the remaining apostles and characters survived, and the Lost-Fortress joint team was also destroyed.

The Hulan Chamber of Commerce took this opportunity to climb up to the Ames Guards and escort them out of the border to arrive at Bird’s Gate safely. Of course, the Apostles’ distress in the Undead Valley had nothing to do with the Hulan Chamber of Commerce. After all, it was their own decision. Seaver Hulan and the others had only borrowed the opportunity of the East Wind.

That smooth business trip brought the Hulan Clan, whose resources were almost exhausted, back to life. Because he was already familiar with the journey, after returning to Tyser, Old butler persuaded Seaver Holland to set off again and try to make as many trips to the Bird Gate as possible while the Ames still had some favors to offer.

Seaver was not shrewd, but he listened to Old butler, so they went on another trade trip in two months. A month before Qin Lun entered Toril, the Hulan Chamber of Commerce had arrived at Bird’s Gate for the second time.

The business of the Chamber of Commerce was still going smoothly this time, and all the specialty products brought from Tyser had been sold out. Just as they were about to leave Bird’s Gate, the City Council sent bad news to their foreign caravans.

There seemed to be some troll tribes migrating in the troll hills northeast of the Gate of Bird. Although they were unlikely to enter the human settlements of the Gate of Bird, they could pass through the Land of Death, threatening a section of the river south of the Land of Death that was on the verge of rushing the Sa River.

The city council relayed the news to the Hulan Chamber of Commerce in the hope that they would change their route or stay at the Border Gate for a period of time.

However, the news aroused Schiffer’s great curiosity. Perhaps it was the incident in the Undead Valley during the last trade trip that made Seaver extremely yearn for the adventure story that Qin Lun and the others experienced. He actually had the idea of heading to the Land of Death.

…

Prior to ancient times, Ferren Continent was a primeval land covered almost entirely by dense forests. Elves was called Ferren, meaning the only continent.

At that time, along the coast of Sword Bay, there were vast forests that led straight inland. Among them, the Utmost Forest in the northern part of the continent and the Keldor Mogg Forest, which covered the entire south-central region, were the most famous.

The Utmost Forest was one of the first settlements in Elves to migrate from Fairlier, Elves, while the Keldor Mogg Forest was home to a large number of Moon Elves, Green Elves and other small populations of Elves.

Over a long period of time, Elves has passed through the most difficult initial stages of development.

At that time, however, the Ferren Continent of Elves did not dominate. The main characters ruling the continent were the descendants of giants with Titan bloodlines, as well as the gigantic intelligent lizard, the Ancient Era’s Giant Dragon.

More than 13,000 years ago, the first dragon war broke out between giants and dragons. The northern part of Keldor Mogg Forest was destroyed by dragon flames. Keldor Mogg Forest separated into another large forest, known as the Forest of Dragons.

In the end, the giant lost this world-destroying battle, and the dragon suffered heavy losses as well. At that time, King Keldomo and King Tyser of Moon Elves had killed two ancient red dragons in the Giant Dragon Mountain Range, saving a large number of their clansmen.

Later generations called part of Keldomo Forest, located in what is now Amm and Tessel, the Great Tessel Forest. Tessel was also revered as the King of Keldomo, the first recorded dragon slayer in history.

After the first dragon war, the Forest of Dragons, named after the giant dragon, included the current Border Gate area. Of course, its area was actually much larger than the area currently controlled by the Border Gate.

The ancient Dragon Forest stretched north to the south of the high forest, west to the coast of Sword Bay, east to the Sunset Mountain Range, where the dragons lived, and south to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range in Amm.

(The northern foothills of Cloud Mist Mountain District is the Tower of Durrag that Qin Lun teleported back then. Anyone who wants to read the map of Ferren can go to Gourmet’s Sina Weibo. There is a big map inside. The Weibo number is Taotie _ Jushi, and there is an underline in the middle.)

The vast Dragon Forest was once again divided into small forests in the next five Crown Wars to be waged by Elves. Today it includes the Giant Demon Roar Forest to the north of the Bird Gate, the Caped Forest and the Teeth Forest to the south, the small dragon forest to the east, and the riverbank forest connected by the Chongsa River.

The Land of Death mentioned by Siv Hulan was the heart of the former Dragon Forest, where there were countless civil wars in Elves, underground wars between Zhuo Er and the Dwarves, and border wars with trolls and wilderness races during the rise of humanity.

The Land of Death was located to the east of Bird’s Gate, and it was only a few days away. This was the hub of the Sword Bay coast. To the south were the three great human powers, Ames, Tyser, and Karinshan, and the Elves Court for several months. To the north was Deepwater City, Coldwinter City, the Silvermoon Alliance, and the World Ridge of the Shield Dwarves.

Before Elves moved to Komanso, this was the only way for the Utmost Forest to go south. It could be said to be a strategic location. Year after year, it had become a battlefield fought by countless countries. If it was a place like the Land of Death, it would have long since become a desolate place where everything was quiet.

However, the Land of Death was different. It was too close to the ocean, and there was a river north and south. (Serpentine River to the north, Chongsa River to the south)

Warm ocean monsoon winds and rain have turned the area into a swamp hundreds of miles in diameter and a forbidden zone for life. Even up until now, no one was able to tell what was inside this land covered with aquatic banyan trees and mudflats.

The time when the Dragon Forest Center had become the Land of Death was no longer verifiable. Everyone only knew that before the rise of Border Gate, Am, and Deepwater City, this place had already become a swamp.

Since ancient times, countless adventurers and expeditions have gone deep into this swamp, hoping to gain some harvest. In fact, a few of them had indeed gained something. The Land of Death produced all kinds of magic crystal ores, rare medicinal ingredients, and even rare swamp gemstones.

However, more adventurers paid the price of their lives in this forbidden area. Even powerful Legendary Professions did not dare to go too deep into the Land of Death. In the history of the Gate of Bird, only one person had ever crossed the land of death from east to west. That person was the founder of the Gate of Bird, the legendary pirate Border Ann.

However, before Bo De’an disappeared, he didn’t leave a single word about the Land of Death. Until now, very few people knew what was in the depths of this forbidden zone of life.

“You actually want to die in the Land of Death? Do you really think that the Three-legged Cat Kung Fu you learned in the Academy of Nobility is invincible in the world?” Qin Lun looked at Seaver with an idiotic gaze. “Then what about Elizabeth and Idrea? These two women don’t have any common sense anymore, and they won’t follow you into the forbidden zone of life, right?”

“I never thought of going deep into the Land of Death. I just wanted to wander around the border and brag to my friends.” Seaver said with a sad face.

“As for Elistine and the others …” Seaver’s face revealed a strange expression. “The reason why they went with me, you can’t blame me. This … they came to find you.”
