The Death List Novel - Chapter 655
Chapter 655 Lenny And Miriam
“Where does this teleportation array lead to?” Qin Lun looked at the large hexagram array in front of him and asked.
There are several teleportation formations in Candlekeep’s underground maze. The main purpose of Candlekeep’s establishment of these formations is to explore large-scale ruins.
Ferren Continent’s intelligent race had a long history. Even without counting the prehistoric Lizardman civilization, the entire time span from Elves’s immigration to Ferren Continent had reached nearly 30,000 years.
Throughout its 30,000-year history, Ferren Continent had given birth to countless brilliant and splendid racial civilizations. From the first boom, the Elves civilizations of Arivanda, Ilfarang, Ilisri, Keldomo, Myerita, Santa Osrell, and the first Elves Empire, Vajra, had been destroyed in the five Crown Wars.
From the Second Elves Empire after the war to the Dwarf Empire of Sauna Tachung ruling the underground world to the rise of Drol Elves. From the Third Elves Empire, Richard, to the Qi Giant Kalim Kingdom and the Flame Giant Manonna Kingdom.
The establishment of the human magical empire in the second prosperous period, the dwarf kingdoms of Amlinda, Lorraine, Darius, Oglan, the human kingdoms of Jondas, Kalinshan, Shaya, even the short-lived goblin kingdom of Kantas, and the orc empire that was intermittently created in the northern mountains …
Countless cities and kingdoms rose and fell in the long river of history, condensing resplendent pearls of civilization.
Today, these pearls of wisdom had become historical ruins of all sizes on the continent. However, after experiencing the plundering of many bandit and mercenary groups in modern times, these ruins were often left with only a few ruins that could be seen, or even nothing.
Since its establishment, Candlekeep has been committed to preserving and salvaging the antiquities and historical documents in these ruins. Every time a large ruin was discovered on the continent, scholars from Candlekeep would immediately rush over to protect the orbs of civilization from being looted by anyone.
Similar to archaeology on Earth, the work of saving cultural relics cannot be done by just a few people. There is still a need for adequate preparation during this period, and both manpower and material equipment are indispensable.
In order to maximize the protection of the ruins, as well as the safe transport of antiquities and historical documents, the costly long-distance teleportation array has become the greatest reliance and reliance of Candlekeep scholars.
These large magic arrays weren’t fixed in a single ruin. Instead, they were first set up in Candlekeep. When a ruin was discovered, the mages of Candlekeep would immediately arrive on flying mounts and set up small teleportation arrays around the ruins.
If there was no need to protect the ruins other than cultural relics, then these small teleportation formations would be destroyed afterwards. If the ruins themselves were worthy of protection, Candlekeep would retain these small formations and notify the nearest kingdoms and cities to reveal the location of the ruins to them.
“According to your request, the closest teleportation point to the Silvermoon Alliance is Nesmai, which is the edge of the Eternal Wilderness. There is an ancient remnant left behind during the Fifth Crown War.”
The young monk pointed at the hexagram formation that emitted a faint magical radiance and introduced, “It’s already very close to the capital of the Silvermoon Alliance. You can follow the Sabrin River downstream and reach Silvermoon City in about two days.”
“Alright, then let’s begin!” Qin Lun exhaled. After spending so many days, he finally came into contact with the first epic plot.
“Wait, wait!” Just as everyone was about to enter the teleportation array, an anxious voice came from a corridor far away from the hall.
Everyone turned around and saw a female mage holding the corner of her robe and running out of the tunnel in a hurry. Because she did not usually move much, her footsteps seemed to stagger.
“Ms. Lenny?!” Linda looked at the mage in surprise and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I want to go to the Silvermoon Alliance with you.” The Prophet and the Great Sage pushed the bottle-thick monocles and circled around with their mage robes. “You see, I cleaned them for the sake of going out. I definitely, definitely won’t embarrass you.”
“Oh … Wait, that’s not the point!” Linda covered her face and asked in distress, “Why are you coming with us to the Silvermoon Alliance? We’re not going to buy books!”
“I have long wanted to travel to the Northern Lands. I happen to be on the same path as you!” The female mage blinked her big eyes and said innocently.
“But … what we need to do is very dangerous!” Linda wrinkled her face and scratched her hair.
“Are you worried that I’m a burden?” Lenny curled her lips and pointed at Linda with a serious expression. “Linda Astilla, you’re questioning my magic power. I want to talk to you …”
“You win!” Before the female mage could say the word “duel”, Linda had already raised her hand and surrendered. She muttered discontentedly, “You will bully others. Who doesn’t know that you are a Legendary Great Mage?”
Everyone’s faces twitched slightly as they watched the two old men and the young man act cute. Before the mission could begin, they could already vaguely sense an ominous omen.
“This was definitely my teacher’s idea. No wonder she let me off so easily this time. She originally planned to punish me with Lenny!” “Reject her, reject her …” Linda pulled Qin Lun and kept shredding her thoughts.
“His legs are on his body, and the teleportation array belongs to Candlekeep. How can we refuse?” Qin Lun rolled his eyes helplessly. He didn’t mind having more legendary thugs in the team.
“Stop messing around, let’s go!” Mastasia sighed and took the lead in walking towards the formation.
Just as she was about to step into the formation, an enormous pressure suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was as if two blankets had suddenly fallen from the sky and heavily pressed down on everyone. Highland Elves almost fell to the ground with a single step. The others also found it difficult to move, as if they were in a stressed underwater world.
“So what?” Qin Lun didn’t even have the mood to complain.
“Miriam, is that you?” Of all the people present, perhaps only Lenny, who had reached the Legendary Stage, did not feel any pressure at all. The female mage tilted her head and shouted towards the void in front of her.
“Hehe ~ ~” A playful laugh like a naughty child sounded in the void. The space in front of him rippled and an illusory dragon image slowly appeared.
This transparent dragon figure was petite and cute, floating in front of everyone like a big ball, emitting a faint dragon aura. Although its entire body was covered in bright silver spikes, because of its petite size, it did not make anyone feel ferocious or abrupt.
“Ho ho ho ho, it’s been a long time since a visitor came to the underground palace. How can I not come out to welcome him?” The silver dragon’s ghost rolled in the air and asked with a smile, “Are you here to chat with me?”
“Lord Miriam, we’re here to borrow the teleportation array. We’re leaving soon!” Linda said cautiously. Suddenly, she pointed at the young monk beside her and unfairly betrayed him. “If you’re looking for someone to chat with, Mulla is a good listener!”
The young monk’s face darkened as he stammered, “I, I still have a few books to copy.”
“No, Mullah is the most boring, like a wooden man.” The silver dragon used its small claws to support its chin as it waved its tail and refused.
“Miriam, these visitors have already paid their dues. You can’t force them to stay.” Everyone was secretly grateful for Lenny’s support. They suddenly felt that it would be beneficial to keep this Great Sage careless.
“Cut!” Miriam spat out a mouthful of saliva humanely, causing everyone to sweat profusely.
The silver dragon’s big eyes rolled, and a sharp fingernail suddenly popped out from its small claw. “No, I can smell the Abyss Devils and Spirit Absorbers on their bodies. I have to examine them carefully to prevent them from causing any damage to Candlekeep.”
“Everyone teleported away immediately. How could it damage Candlekeep? Isn’t it because you want to talk to someone?” Linda, Mastasia and the other characters were madly complaining in their hearts, but the faces of the three Apostle in the team changed slightly as they exchanged glances with each other.
Qin Lun did have the Abyss Devil bloodline, while Hill had the Spirit Vampire bloodline. However, in reality, these Apostle bloodlines were concealed by the Laws of the Universe. In the eyes of the storyline characters, they were Elves and human bodies.
However, there was a limit to how far the starry sky could conceal Apostle’s bloodline. If it was a god who directly controlled the Laws of the World, then there was a certain probability that he could detect the fluctuations of the Laws of the Universe. Apart from the memories hidden in Apostle’s soul imprint, equipment items and true bloodlines were difficult to conceal in front of the gods.
This was also the reason why Qin Lun didn’t dare to plunder the sacrificial items in the underground stronghold of the Church of Amberry. He was afraid that it would attract the attention of the Goddess of Amberry.
Miriam could sense the Apostle bloodline on Qin Lun and Hill. Their strength had clearly surpassed that of legends. It was possible that they had reached the realm of Saints or Demigod and had come into contact with a trace of the Laws of the World.
The silver dragon flew down from the sky and sniffed carefully in front of the outsider. Its huge nostrils twitched incessantly, causing Qin Lun and the others to feel uneasy in their hearts. If the Silver Dragon Ghost recognized Apostle’s bloodline, it would be very difficult for them to gain the trust of Mastasia and the others in the future.
Neither the scholar from Candlekeep nor the harpsichord would cooperate with Elves, who had the demonic bloodline, because this meant that Elves had completely fallen.
“Eh, I don’t seem to be able to smell it again.” A trace of surprise appeared on Miriam’s face, causing Qin Lun and Hill to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
“Hmph, is Lord Miriam really making trouble for no reason?” Linda crossed her waist and looked at the silver dragon angrily.
“Alright, alright!” The Silver Dragon Ghost was powerful, but its temperament was like a child’s. Seeing everyone looking at it angrily, it immediately raised its small claws and scratched its chin embarrassedly. “How about this, I’ll give these visitors a riddle. If anyone guessed it, I’ll give him a prize to compensate for the rudeness just now …”
“Promise it!” Great Sage Lenny poked Qin Lun in the back. She could tell that Qin Lun was the vague leader of this group. “Miriam had extorted things from many visitors. Its private possessions were famous for being rich in Candlekeep, but it was also very stingy. It was rare to have a chance to let it bleed.”
“Hmph, listen up!” Miriam shook his head proudly with everyone’s approval. “There is something in the world that is the longest and shortest, the widest and most divided, the greatest and smallest, the most precious and the most neglected. What is this?”
