The Death List Novel - Chapter 619
Chapter 619 Soul-shocking In A Dream
“Your identity is too sensitive … Elf King?” Lago teased with a flirtatious smile.
“What kind of identity is Elf King? Why did he come out alone to take risks? I really admire you!” Rick covered his face in frustration, but didn’t interrupt the conversation. He continued, “Have you heard of the rumors in the middle of the continent that Elves is building a big Fairy Court?”
“Yes, there are rumors about this at the Bird’s Gate recently.” Largo nodded. As a thief, it was his duty to inquire about the news.
‘”A few days ago, it was rumored that the Ri Elves diplomatic mission had successfully returned to Yongju Island and signed agreements with various human cities along the coast of Sword Bay. Komansori Elves has been following the route taken by the diplomatic mission over the past few months and is beginning to migrate to Yongju Island.” Rick said thoughtfully.
“Does this have anything to do with the formation of the Grand Elves in Fairy Court?” Lago asked curiously.
“Of course it does. Yue Elves loves peace and has never liked the competitive Elves of Japan since ancient times. The Sun Palace in Yongju Island has always been run by Elves of Japan, so they naturally don’t want to go to Yongju Island.” Rick shrugged and spread out his hands. “Now that Moon Elves has his own Fairy Court, they don’t want to leave the mainland for Yongju Island anymore.”
“But this will conflict with the Sun Palace in Yongju Island, right?” Lago wasn’t an idiot, Rick reminded him, “Ri Elves has always treated him as a high Elves, I’m afraid he won’t be willing to share the glory with the unified Moon Fairy Court in the future.”
“That’s right, that’s the point. That’s why Moon Elves naturally has to join forces with many other parties to try to persuade Elves to join the future Fairy Court and compete with the Sun Palace in Yongju Island.” Rick smiled and said, “There are many large forests near the Bird’s Gate. I think Ferrar is one of the Elves envoys sent by these forests to connect with each other.”
“In that case, Seaver’s previous cooperation with him is correct. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Tyser, it’s normal for him to have some business dealings with Elves in the forest near Sword Bay.” ‘”Fairy Court, who can be sent to be an envoy by Elves, is indeed very sensitive. He might even be a prince of Elves!” Lago was relieved and began to joke.
“That’s also possible! However, my words cannot be taken seriously. Most of them are guesses.” Rick smiled and snatched the wine pouch back. “Alright, go to sleep. Come and take over in the middle of the night.”
The chat between Rick and Largo was partly close to the truth. Kieran, who was resting in the tent with his eyes closed, naturally didn’t know that Rick was smarter than he had imagined. He had actually guessed the main conflict between Elves and Elves in the future.
After a night of silence, when the sun rose again, everyone had already packed up and was once again heading towards the Land of Death.
For the next two days, the entire journey was calm. The followers behind them seemed to have given up on their pursuit, and the beautiful figure of the demonic mouth was no longer seen in the sky. This dispelled many of the doubts in the hearts of the crowd.
Even Qin Lun thought that the villains who were planning to do something bad had retreated despite the difficulties. After all, as a well-known Blood Stabbing Mercenary Group of the Border Gate, their combat strength could still be recognized by many mercenaries.
However, the lifting of the potential alarm did not ease Qin Lun’s worries. At the very least, it was the first time he felt irritated before receiving accurate information from Elistine.
Perhaps under his influence, the group of people traveled very quickly. They even arrived at the periphery of the Land of Death half a day ahead of schedule. It was four days and three nights before Qin Lun and the others entered Toril.
When they arrived at the periphery of the Land of Death, it happened to be night. They took advantage of this opportunity to recuperate and intend to wait until dawn to officially enter the Land of Death.
In the pitch-black tent, Qin Lun suddenly sat up, his chest constantly heaving, beads of sweat dripping down his chin. Yue Elves’s naturally bright silver eyes shone in the darkness.
Qin Lun covered his face and inserted his palm into his silver hair. He had a nightmare. Unlike before, the scene that appeared in the dream this time was not a mirror image of her younger sister Qin Mei when she was a child. It was the first time that other familiar faces had appeared.
Didi, Frank, Schiff, and other followers; Hill, Grant, and other fellow murderers; Kelly, Robin, and other familiar apostles; and Elder Elves, Malfoy Molia, and Elder Beelzebub, who they had met in the Broken Star System.
Of course, this included many women who had been tied to him, including Catherine, Fei Jie, Monica, Elistine, and even the nurse Xiao Lian who had not seen him for a long time, as well as the iceberg beauty Huffy who had been pushed into a pile of zombies by herself.
However, these weren’t the things that shocked him the most. What shocked him was that those people who hadn’t appeared in their dreams since they entered the Broken Star System had finally appeared after such a long time.
In his dreams, he saw the people he had killed, including the Atlantis survivor he had slaughtered during the city war, the little girl Mina. His determined and hateful expression finally woke him up from his sleep.
When Qin Lun was awake, he would often deliberately look back at his past experiences. This is a hypnotic therapy for the mentally ill. Set a memory point for yourself and deliberately review your memories to reconstruct your consciousness after a mental disorder.
However, dreaming about the person he had killed in his sleep once again only meant one thing …
“Joey, are you still there?” Qin Lun called out softly to his other existence in his consciousness. Joey didn’t answer him. Qin Lun suddenly realized that Joey hadn’t spoken to him for a long time since the World of Divine Comedy.
Realizing this, Qin Lun suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness. He muttered to himself blankly, saying some incomprehensible syllables.
After a long while, a sigh finally came from the darkness. “Is it almost that time again? I hope we can find Elistine in time!”
“Ferrari, what’s wrong with you?” Seaver, who was resting in the same tent, finally woke up from his shock. He opened his eyes in a daze and was immediately startled by the silver-haired Elves who was sitting cross-legged in front of him.
“Nothing?” Qin Lun forced a smile. His face was a little pale, and his silver bangs were wet with sweat. He was close to his forehead, looking rather embarrassed.
“Are you sick?” Seaver asked doubtfully.
“I said nothing, go to sleep!” Qin Lun’s attitude was a little rough, making Schiff feel embarrassed. He smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head.
“Sorry!” Seeing his appearance, Qin Lun calmed down and sighed.
“Don’t worry, we’ll find Mason, Old butler, and Elistine.” Seaver waved his hand and comforted him.
“Silence!” Just as Qin Lun was about to reply, his expression suddenly turned solemn. He pressed down on Seaver’s mouth and bent down to put his ear to the ground.
Seaver’s eyeballs rolled, and he obediently loosened his movements, and touched the outer garment in the corner of the tent. After many adventures, he was no longer the newbie. Qin Lun’s reaction was obviously to hear a suspicious voice.
“Relax, it’s still far from here. I’ll go take a look.” Qin Lun instructed softly. He opened the tent and walked out with his cloth bag.
“Qin Lun, what did you find?” Hill and Rand had already received Qin Lun’s reminder on the guild channel, and they had also come out of their tents.
“What happened?” At the same time that the three of them appeared, a figure flashed out from the darkness. It was the thief responsible for guarding the second half of the night, Lago.
“Someone is spying on us from afar!” Qin Lun looked vigilantly into the darkness of the night.
Lago frowned and did not refute. In fact, he instinctively sensed something was amiss. However, he was the only vigil keeper, so he didn’t dare to leave his post to scout, and even if he woke up his other companions now, it would be useless.
Apart from him, neither Rick nor Winnie could chase after the enemy at night. He had been hiding in the dark just now, hoping that the spy would be unable to help but sneak into the camp, so that he would have a chance to catch his opponent. He hadn’t expected Qin Lun to discover that something was wrong, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
“Right now, we have no choice but to deal with each other. The geographical environment around the Land of Death is very complicated. After dawn, I’ll think of a way to follow them.” Lago did not have a playful smile on his face this time and carefully suggested.
‘”No need. The other party should be an adventurer skilled in tracking. He might be a hunter. Let me handle it. Not letting the other party enter the Land of Death with us will cause unnecessary trouble for the search.”
Qin Lun’s face was as heavy as water. His mood was not very good, but now he was on the verge of exploding.
“Are you confident?” Lago’s eyes lit up and he did not immediately reject.
He wasn’t a steady Rick. Moreover, even the knights had said that Qin Lun wasn’t their employer. The only person they had to protect under the contract was Seaver. Since Qin Lun volunteered, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.
“I don’t know yet, but in the forest environment, rangers have an advantage over thieves!” Qin Lun smiled and walked to a large tree near the campsite. He placed his palm on the tree trunk and closed his eyes to carefully feel it.
Outside the Land of Death, there were sparse trees, thinner than ordinary forests, but more trees than the wilderness.
This land is rich in rain, otherwise it wouldn’t have formed a swamp. However, the years of war had made it impossible to construct a normal plant and animal ecosystem, and it had turned into a Death Swamp over time.
The plants here are mainly aquatic shrubs and marsh banyans. The wet, muddy and barren soil can only grow this kind of thing. Both aquatic shrubs and marsh banyans have enormous underground air roots that displace the air beneath the swamp to prevent decay and absorb the thin soil fertilizer in the swamp.
However, most of these aquatic plants would produce methane, making it difficult for ordinary life to reproduce and survive here, forming a unique swamp ecological environment.
Qin Lun did not exaggerate the truth. In this environment, hunters were indeed more advantageous than thieves. Their scouting ability was far greater than their stealth talent. Only he could find out the hidden dangers that threatened the team.
“I found him!”
After a long while, Qin Lun suddenly opened his eyes. A cold bolt of lightning flashed through his eyes. He stretched out his body and pounced into the dark jungle like a big bird with a cloth bag in his hand.
