The Death List Novel - Chapter 645
Chapter 645 The Plot of the Santalin Society
“Apostle 70053, your Black Iron Party has intercepted a secret letter from the Santalin Society and triggered the plot mission-the plot of the Santalin Society.”
“Apostle 70053, since you have already met the main leader of the Silvermoon Alliance, Emily Silverhand, a direct descendant of Elaszo, during your last foreign mission, you are eligible to participate in the Silvermoon Alliance’s statehood mission, which will be incorporated into the larger epic plot, the Silvermoon Federation.”
Silvermoon Alliance: In 1033, the northern cities of Fort Adebar, Fort Feilba, Deathsnow, Ewarrend, Quilva, Silvermoon City, and Sandabar concluded a treaty of alliance, forming a city-state alliance with Silvermoon City as its political center, known as the Silvermoon Alliance.
The Silvermoon Alliance was a relatively loose city-state alliance at its inception. However, after nearly 500 years of development, the entire alliance has now become a huge thing in the north.
The region once had an ancient Elves empire, Yerlan, centered on the Utmost Forest, which was also ruled by Sanata Dwarves and the human Naive Empire.
The territory of the Silvermoon Alliance was larger than theirs. It stretched to the Endless Sea to the west, to the ridge of the world to the north, and had good relations with Shield Dwarf of Ice Wind Valley. It is bounded to the south by the Utmost Forest and to the east by the Enoch Desert.
If you pass through the black road in the middle of the Enoch desert, you’ll connect to the Moon Sea, Ferren Continent’s most important trade and political hub.
On the south bank of the Lunar Sea was the Sun Elves of Comanso, and on the north bank was Fort Santilli, the headquarters of the Santalin Society.
The Silvermoon Alliance connected colonies and city-states that existed in different eras, and it implemented a policy of racial inclusion in which humans, Dwarves, Elves, Half Elves, Halves, Dwarves, and even the Orc Tribe could join.
In fact, it had a certain rivalry with the Santalin Society and the Komansol Elves, and when Komansol Elves moved to Eternal Assembly Island, it only had one enemy left: the Santalin Society, a dark organization located in the northern part of the Lunar Sea.
Today, the Silvermoon Alliance’s various city-states were becoming more and more united. Not only did they form a lord council led by Silvermoon City Lord Elaszo, they also intended to further transform the city-state alliance into a unified country-the Silvermoon Federation.
If the Silvermoon Alliance was already a thorn in the side of the Santalin Society, then after it became a federal state, Santalin, who had been a disaster to the continent for hundreds of years, would face the formidable military pressure of this natural enemy.
[Santalin conspiracy (mission difficulty is uncountable): Santalin used their usual tricks to eliminate potential threats in infancy. They will use the Death Soul Flower Poison to assassinate the members of the Lord Council led by Elaszo at the Silvermoon Alliance’s celebration in half a month’s time, destroying the trust and pact between the various Silvermoon Alliance City-States and destroying the Alliance’s efforts to establish a unified country.
Mission Objective: The apostle has two interactive options when performing this mission. The first was to join the plot of the Santalin Society to assist in its assassination plan. The second was to join the Silvermoon Alliance and sabotage the assassination plan of the Santalin Society.
Mission reward: Depending on the apostle’s contribution to the mission, the duration of stay will be increased to one natural month. Once Apostle 70053’s Black Iron Party left the troll claw territory, the countdown would begin immediately.
Important Notice 1: Apostle 70053 cannot join the plot of the Santalin Society because of his storyline identity. He can only perform the second mission objective.
Important Tip 2: This mission may have a competing apostle guild. Both guilds will fight in slaughter mode, and there is a certain chance of dropping the Bloody Magic Cube. ”
Qin Lun quickly skimmed past the mission description and turned to ask Mastasia, “Is there a plant called the Dead Soul Flower in the Land of Death?”
“Dead Soul Flower?!” Highland Elves seemed to be shocked. “The Dead Soul Flower is not a plant. Did you read the Dead Soul Flower in a secret letter from the Santalin Society? Did you crack this secret letter?”
“I’ve seen the Solo Continent Chronology before. According to the rules of your deciphering, I’ve translated a few more words.” Qin Lun lied without changing his expression.
He didn’t know what the Solo Continent Chronology was, but he couldn’t explain to Mustacha what the Apostle Mission was. In any case, it was impossible for Highland Elves to make him recite the Solo Continent Chronicle. This lie was almost flawless.
“Let me see it again!” Mastasia smashed her hand to grab the secret letter and scanned it carefully. She found the code to decipher the Dead Soul Flower from her memories. “That’s right, there is indeed a mention of the Dead Soul Flower!”
‘”The Dead Soul Flower is not a plant. It is a crystallization of the souls of the dead. It looks a little like a flower, so it is called the Dead Soul Flower. It can only be seen in cemeteries or ancient battlefields,” said Highland Elves with a somewhat gloomy expression.
“What’s the use of this thing?” Rand guided Mustacha’s train of thought knowingly.
“Because the Dead Soul Flower is condensed from the souls of the dead, it is considered an ominous object by most magical professions. Other than Necromancer and the Lich, almost no one else uses it.” This time, the person who spoke was not Masta Xia, but Dragon Vein Mage Linda.
‘”The Dead Soul Flower is a kind of alchemy material that can be used to make many kinds of spirit and soul potions, but if it’s a dark organization like Santalin, they can only make one thing-the Dead Soul Flower Poison!” She said worriedly.
“If it is the Death Soul Flower Poison, then they are used to assassinate some great figure!” “Half a month later is the Silvermoon Alliance’s celebration day. Could it be that they want to assassinate Silvermoon City Lord Elastor Silverhand?”
Qin Lun and Rand quietly exchanged glances. All they needed to do was guide them here. As the harpsichord of Balancing Ferren Continent, Mastasia would naturally intervene in this epic plot. They just had to follow the trend.
“No, I want to send the news to the harpsichord companions in the Northern Region as soon as possible!” Mastasia was a little excited, her hands trembling slightly as she held the secret letter in her hands.
“There’s no need to be so nervous. Didn’t Santalin’s mission to search for the Death Soul Flower in the Land of Death fail?” Elistine, who had been listening for a long time, interrupted.
“No, will Santalin put the eggs in a basket? With their manpower, they will definitely search for the Dead Soul Flower elsewhere. The ancient battlefield on the continent is not just the Land of Death.” Mastasia bit her lips and shook her head seriously.
“Is the Dead Soul Flower Poison very powerful? Is there an antidote?” Qin Lun asked Linda softly.
“There is no antidote to the Dead Soul Flower Poison, because it is not a poison in essence, but a soul reagent that has the effect of polluting the souls of living beings.” Linda smiled bitterly and said, “A living person might not die from this poison, but he doesn’t have any intelligence. He’s just like a living dead person. Moreover, it’s colorless and odorless. It’s hard to guard against. It’s said that even gods can be attacked, and its viciousness is at least ranked in the top three of all alchemy poisons.”
“Oh” Qin Lun and Rand were speechless. If this kind of vicious alchemy reagent was really that powerful, even the few Apostle would have to be extremely careful. This was not something that a recovery item could save.
“Ferrari, this matter has nothing to do with you. Once the troll claw is out, you and Elistine can return to Anke Elves Court!” Masta Xia’s expression was somewhat complicated. After this incident, her original plan had to be put down.
“Haha, the matters related to the Santalin Society are naturally related to me.” A cold light flashed in Qin Lun’s eyes as he sneered, “I still have a debt to settle with them!”
The people on the other raft quickly learned about this matter. Seaver and Butler Mason didn’t care. They didn’t care about the Silvermoon Alliance in the Northern Lands, and this matter wasn’t something that ordinary people could participate in.
Meanwhile, the Blood Stabbing Trio was slightly flickering. Secondly, the Silvermoon Alliance was far away in the Northern Lands. No matter how it changed, it had nothing to do with their lives. The only thing that couldn’t shame them was that they were companions who had experienced life and death together with Qin Lun and the others, so they couldn’t refuse in person.
On the following journey, everyone was silent as they thought about their own thoughts. On the other hand, Hill and Rand were a little excited. Rescuing Elistine was because of Kieran. Their purpose in entering Toril World was only for the epic plot.
However, there was another problem that lay ahead of the three Apostle. If they were able to escape from the troll claw smoothly, they would be close to the northern border of the Border Gate region. However, the Silvermoon Alliance in the north was still thousands of kilometers away, and the journey was filled with dangers. Half a month might not be enough time for the Silvermoon Celebration Day.
“Qin Lun, how long did it take you to reach Bird’s Gate from Jondal Forest? This time, it’s less than a third of the journey. Do you think we can make it?” Hill asked cautiously on the guild channel.
“If we don’t get out of the moth on the way, the time is pretty good. However, after we arrive, we still need a certain amount of time to scout for the Santalin Society that is hiding in the dark. If that’s the case, it will definitely be too late!” Qin Lun thought for a moment and then said, “We have to borrow external forces. It would be even better if we could have a long-range teleportation array or a flying mount.”
“Mastasia’s Harpsichord Alliance is a large organization. Can you think of something from her?” Rand asked cautiously.
“The Harpsichord Alliance is different from what you think. They are more like a group of solo Robin Hood. In terms of resource integration, they are not on the same level as Santalin.” Qin Lun shook his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. “However, I think the other person might have a way.”
“You mean that little girl-Dragon Vein Mage Linda!” Hill immediately understood.
“Yes, all the mages in Toril are very wealthy, and most of them have one or two long-range communication devices or teleportation formations in their hands.” Qin Lun smiled and said, “It’s just that we can’t bring this up. Otherwise, it’ll arouse her suspicions. I think Mastasia will bring it up on her own. It depends on whether the little girl has a good impression of the Harpsichord Alliance.”
