The Death List Novel - Chapter 675
Chapter 675 Team Wei Si
At this time, in a two-storey building in the slum area east of Silvermoon City, a youth dressed in hunting clothes looked out the window at a ray of dawn and sighed faintly. Even though he had already anticipated it, the plan he had painstakingly planned for the two missions had failed just like that, and it still left him filled with bitterness.
“Guild Leader, Milotte’s life chest has moved!” Just as the youth was reflecting, one of his female companions pushed open the door and walked in, excitedly saying, “Are we going according to plan?”
“Plan? Our plan has long failed!” The young man twitched the corner of his mouth and helplessly said, “It’s only a matter of repairing the situation after losing the sheep. It’s just to make up for some of the losses.”
The young man pondered for a moment and said, “Please wait a moment. Although we failed, we need to know the whole process from Milotte’s mouth. We need to find out which Apostle team is involved in this competitive task.”
“Guild Leader, Milotte is a legendary expert. If he escapes …” The young man’s companion asked hesitantly with some misgivings.
‘”Hmph, even if Milotte were to be resurrected through the Life Box, he would no longer be that unreachable legendary mage. His equipment, including his body, had been thrown into Supreme palace. His newly born Lich body had not even recovered its magic power, and a series of isolation formations had been set up around the room …”
The youth curled his lips and said nonchalantly, “If we can’t even deal with a Half-Lich like this, then we can kill him with a piece of tofu.”
The two of them immediately went out and arrived at the second floor of the small building.
There were only two rooms on this floor, and there were two figures guarding the door in front of one of the larger rooms. The outer wall of the room was engraved with a complicated magic array. In fact, there were magic array patterns on the invisible floor and ceiling, covering the entire room like a package.
The two people outside the room were tall and had a huge tower shield. Their muscles were tangled like iron towers. The other figure was relatively thin, wearing a black robe, his face pale and bloodless.
At this time, if Supreme palace’s silver guards were here, they would probably recognize the black-robed mage as the prisoner they had imprisoned in the underground cell more than a month ago.
“Guild Leader” The shield guard and the black-robed mage greeted the young man when they saw him arrive.
“En, Romon, it’s been a long time!” The young man turned his gaze and patted the black-robed mage on the shoulder.
“Nothing!” The black-robed mage’s dull eyes slightly moved and he shook his head. “I just didn’t expect that Santalin’s meticulous plan would actually fail. Unfortunately, I’ve been staying in the cell all this time and don’t know what happened in the palace. I still don’t know who my opponent is.”
“It doesn’t matter. Is failure the mother of success?” The young man chuckled indifferently. He had recovered from his previous loss and pushed open the door. “Let’s see how much compensation Lord Milotte can offer us.”
Hearing the young man’s words, the other three looked into the room at the same time. The furniture in this room had long since been emptied by them. At this moment, the empty room was filled with snot-like black sticky bodies.
These dirty things are like spider webs that stick to walls and ceilings, forming an irregular three-dimensional web, at the heart of which is a square black metal box.
The metal box was engraved with countless mysterious magic runes. The six sides of the cube were identical, as if they were unable to open it.
There was a small hexagram formation on the floor of the room. The six translucent magic crystals on the corners were currently emitting a fascinating halo. Waves of magic energy rippled out like ripples.
As the magic power of the formation fluctuated, the magic runes on the surface of the metal box that was stuck in the air by the black viscous body began to shine. The black viscous substance that was stuck in the surroundings surged towards the metal box like a vessel, quickly wrapping it into a ball of meat.
The ball of meat was beating regularly like the heart, and the frequency was getting faster and faster, gradually beginning to expand.
“Milotte’s reincarnation has begun!” Seeing this, a cold light flashed in the young man’s eyes. He turned around and asked, “Has the crystal stones of the Reincarnation Array been changed?”
“Yes, all of them have changed to a smaller size. They can only support ‘Lord’ to form an extremely weak Lich body.” The Shield Guard’s rough face revealed a trace of mockery. “Originally, the monkey was planning to tamper with the formation, but I was afraid that the reincarnation would fail, so I didn’t do that!”
“Oh, right, where’s the monkey man?” The young man asked in surprise.
“A monkey is a monkey. How can he be idle? He seems to have gone to the vicinity of Supreme palace to get some information.” The shield guard shrugged helplessly.
Just as the few of them were speaking, the meat ball in the room finally began to undergo a qualitative change.
Countless granulation sprouts emerged from the expanding ball of meat, waving it in the air like antennae. The granulation continued to tangle. The darker part slowly revealed a porcelain-like texture, growing from top to bottom, forming a human skeleton. Soft granulation continued to grow around the skeleton, gradually covering the entire skeleton.
Soon, an object that was originally just a meatball formed into a human body. Although its surface has not yet formed facial features and skin, but it seems only a matter of time.
However, the skeleton of the Lich’s body was empty. Apart from a wriggling mass of unknown objects, there were no internal organs of humans. With the formation of the Lich’s body, the black viscous substance that was originally connected to the meat ball seemed to have been completely absorbed. Its color turned gray and white, constantly turning into ashes scattered on the ground.
“What a magical spell!” ‘”Guild Leader, why did you insist on Milotte’s reincarnation? It’s actually not bad just to leave this life chest behind!” The black-robed mage that the young man called Romon’s eyes shone brightly as he exclaimed in admiration, “Guild Leader, why did you insist on Milotte’s reincarnation?”
“Haha, Romon, don’t be greedy! Milotte’s transformation into a Lich isn’t complete. Even if this fate box can be brought into the starry sky, it’s probably just a consumable item.” The youth explained with a smile, “But killing a legendary mage has a high chance of forming a bloody Magic Cube. Besides, Milotte’s status in the Santalin Society is not low. We can also obtain a World Exploration Rate to make up for the loss of the mission.”
“That’s true! Guild Leader, if you can find a mage skill above B class, then it will belong to me!” The black-robed mage licked his lips, his pale face revealing a trace of fawning.
“Can you use the advanced skills of Necromancer and the Lich?” Without waiting for the youth to speak, the shield guard could not help but mock, “Black Magicians aren’t human anymore. I really want to change my profession to skeletal frame!”
“Tsk, as long as you have power, the appearance of the Lich is nothing!” The black-robed mage rolled his deathly gray eyes and muttered.
“Alright, stop arguing. Milotte’s consciousness is about to awaken!” Another female companion whispered to them.
Before the woman could finish her words, the four people outside the door could feel a huge soul fluctuation erupting from the Lich’s body in front of them.
Due to the weakening of the magic formation of the magic crystals, the Lich’s body was not fully grown. The skull, which lacked skin and some muscles, slowly lifted up. Two miserable green soul flames appeared in the two empty sockets of its eyes.
“This is” The skull’s toothless gums leaked a little, as if it hadn’t fully awakened yet, and it said vague words intermittently.
“Milotte, you’re finally awake!” The youth’s eyes lit up as he smiled and stepped into the room. He supported the Half-Lich, who had only formed 70-80% of its body.
“You are … Wei Si!” The Lich lowered its head to glance at its own body and said intermittently, “The Lich’s body … So I have already completed my reincarnation, and my soul sense has returned without any mistakes …”
“Yes, Milotte. Apart from Romon, you are the only ones who have returned from their journey to Supreme palace.” The young man took advantage of the fact that the Lich’s consciousness was not fully awake and hurriedly asked, “My lord, what happened last night? How did our plan fail?”
“Plan? Yes, Silvermoon City Lord Elaszo, assassination” The Lich turned around and the soul flames suddenly trembled. “Damn Elaszo, damn the Great Sage of Candlestick, damn the crow, damn the Elf Prince …”
The Lich roared and released a random curse, including some of its own people. It had just reincarnated, and its memories were still somewhat confused. It kept cursing, and the story it told seemed to be extremely confused.
“Milotte, so that Yue Elf Prince, who suddenly appeared at the banquet, played a big role in the failed assassination?” Even though the Lich’s curses and roars were incoherent, the young man was still gradually returning to what had happened in Supreme palace last night.
“Filar Moonlight, I seem to have heard of this name!” The black-robed mage beside him frowned slightly.
“I see. It was a few months ago, the month Elves and the Japanese envoy retraced their path to the Ancient Era, Elf Prince!” The shield guard suddenly cried out in surprise.
“It’s him?” The young man and his companions looked at each other quietly, and their hearts slowly began to comprehend.
In fact, the last time they entered Toril World, they were in the same batch as Qin Lun and the others. Compared to Qin Lun’s fortress guild and the Lost Newcomers Guild, they had received the corresponding competitive quest to destroy the ancient path of the Japanese envoy to Elves.
However, none of the apostle guilds in Santalin were willing to carry out this mission. The reason could not be clearer. Toril World was a big world, and there were countless storyline missions related to it. The mission to kill the Elves envoy on the Day of Assassination was the most thankless.
On the one hand, there were countless high-level experts in Toril World, and the apostle guild wasn’t that strong. Almost all of them had to rely on storyline forces to perform important storyline missions.
On the other hand, the Ancient Road mission was to go far away from the headquarters of the Tallinn Society. The Japanese Elves envoy would pass through various Elves courts, large and small. They were fighting on the enemy’s territory. For the apostle team, they were unwilling to be cannon fodder for Santalin.
On the other hand, they did not have a specific route for the Japanese Elves diplomatic corps, nor were they indigenous to Toril World. They were not familiar with the geographical environment, so they might not be able to intercept the diplomatic corps. Such a thankless task with unclear benefits was naturally not something he was willing to do.
The fact proved that the Santalin faction’s apostles, including the Weiss team, were correct. Apart from intercepting the Japanese Elves diplomatic corps in the Sea of the Moon region and within the Jondas Kingdom, the Santalin faction’s assassins were unable to find any traces of the diplomatic corps in the latter stages of the Santalin faction.
The last time the Elves envoy appeared, they had already arrived at the Gate of Bode. Moreover, the last part of the journey was escorted by Yongju Island’s Elves Guards. Santalin would never have any chance again.
Although the previous two interceptions had worked, they had only reduced the guards of the envoys and had not been able to kill the most important Prince Sun Fairy, Milleras!
Of course, even though the Apostle team of the Santalin faction did not carry out this troublesome mission, they were still able to understand the entire epic plot from the Santalin faction’s information. They were no strangers to the name Filar Moonlight.
“That’s right, we disappeared at the Gate of Bird for a few months before reappearing … Looks like our opponent this time is the Prince of Moon Elves of Theopia!” ‘”Look at him. He became Prince Elves of Moon in a single storyline mission, but we haven’t been considered one of Santalin’s people yet!” The youth said self-deprecatingly on the guild channel.
“I guess it was also a coincidence that they discovered our plan!” The shield guard muttered softly to himself, but the lack of confidence in his words was obvious.
“Tsk, failure is failure. What excuse is there to find?” The black-robed mage said happily, “Fortunately, the Guild Leader discovered it beforehand. Otherwise, if we had also entered the Supreme Palace last night, it would have probably turned into a few bloody Magic Cubes.”
“Sigh, the plan this time is too big and complicated. It is inevitable that there will be flaws.” The young man said somewhat disappointedly, “Since that guild has already completed a mission like the Ancient Road, it is estimated that their strength is stronger than ours. It is not too ugly to be defeated by them!”
Actually, the Weiss team did not know that what the Shield Guard said was correct. It was really just a coincidence that Qin Lun and the others would discover the plot of the Santalin Society.
As for being misunderstood as being very powerful, that was because there were two Silver guilds, the Fortress and the Lost Newcomer Guild, in the Japanese Elves Diplomatic Corps during the Ancient Road. The combined strength of the two ambassadors and disciples, plus Elizabeth and the others, was naturally much stronger than the five of them.
“Weiss … why are the elemental fluctuations here so sluggish!” After venting, the Lich’s consciousness became clearer and clearer, and it began to feel that something was amiss.
“Oh?! Lord Milotte, this is not strange. I was afraid that your reincarnation would cause too much trouble and attract the attention of the Silvermoon City officials. I took the initiative to carve a magic array around the room.” The young man came back to his senses from the discussion on the guild channel. An inexplicable look flashed in his eyes as he smiled and replied.
“Magic isolation array?” The Soul Flame in the Lich’s eyes flickered slightly and said unexpectedly calmly, “Well, you’re very thoughtful. Then let’s leave this place as soon as possible!”
“Eh, my lord, are we no longer carrying out the backup plan?” A smile appeared in the young man’s eyes as he pretended to be surprised.
After the night of the farm change, Wei Si had arranged a backup plan for the assassins of the Santalin Society to convince Milott to set up a vicious Abyss Summoning Formation in the civilian area of Silvermoon City. He intended to stir up chaos in Silvermoon City immediately after the assassination plan failed, and then use this opportunity to assassinate Elaszo.
At that time, Necromancer, who had not yet turned into a Lich, agreed and loaned a batch of magical materials and resources from the headquarters to Wei Si. The Apostle also used the opportunity to push off the assassination mission to enter the palace. Apart from the black-robed mage Romon, who had been hiding in the dungeon, none of the others had entered the Supreme Palace.
In fact, Necromancer would have agreed to this backup plan at that time. On the one hand, he hadn’t realized that the enemy would be so powerful. On the other hand, he felt that his original plan was flawless. No matter what, he could still severely injure Elaszo. The backup plan was just a mend.
Of course, Wei Si’s backup plan only wanted Santalin to continue his quest and deceive some magical items. Their own backup plan was simply to kill this Half-Lich in front of them and obtain its Bloody Magic Cube.
‘”There’s no point. Elaszo wasn’t injured last night, and there are several Legendary experts around him. Even the Storm Queen, the Great Sage of Candlestick, and the Shield Dwarf have intervened …” The Lich’s soul flames flickered, and its tone grew heavier. “Take me out of the city immediately. This Lich’s body hasn’t been completely completed yet. I need time to recover!”
“This won’t do, Lord Milotte!” Wei Si’s eyes lit up as he smiled and said, “If we don’t carry out the backup plan, where will we find compensation for our losses?”
The Lich’s Soul Flame lightly jumped and said, “Your losses? Haha, alright, I will personally compensate you when we return to Scatter Fort …”
“No need, Milotte, aren’t you our compensation?” The young man flipped his wrist and a cold dagger easily pierced into the Lich’s chest, but he did not hesitate to dodge the Lich’s side.
‘”Why did you do this” The Lich’s frail body fell to the ground, looked down at the dagger on her chest, and gritted her teeth. “What price did Elaszo give you? Will Santalin let you go? She won’t be able to protect you for the rest of her life, and it’s still too late to stop now!”
“Milotte, you misunderstood. If we betrayed you to the Silvermoon Alliance, why wait until now!” Wei Si chuckled and waved to his companions behind him.
“What is that for? Wealth, magical equipment, magical inheritance? I don’t have anything on me now. If you kill me, you won’t get anything!” The Lich howled in a hoarse voice.
“Guild Leader, why are you talking nonsense with it? It’s over earlier!” The shield guard revealed a ferocious smile and stretched out his hand to grab the Lich’s neck.
A moment later, the shield guard happily picked out a blood-red Magic Cube from the ashes of the Lich’s body and threw it to Wei Si. “As expected, the Magic Cube has appeared. This time, it’s not a big loss!”
“Guild Leader, what should we do next?” The female companion who hadn’t spoken much asked softly as she looked at the Bloody Magic Cube in Wei Si’s hand.
“Next … there’s no way for the Santalin Society to take on any more missions!” Wei Si said thoughtfully, “Let’s go. Let’s leave the city first. Also, let’s have the monkey keep an eye on the Moon Elf Prince. He has ruined our plan that we’ve been planning for so long, so he naturally has to give us an explanation!”
