The Death List Novel - Chapter 677
Chapter 677 Gilliam Barbaric Hammer
“Forget it, the plan is in people, the success is in heaven! You think too much, actually we have already obtained quite a lot of things.” Rand smiled as he took out a bloody Magic Cube from his bosom and threw it in his hand.
The Magic Cube belonged to one of Necromancer’s followers. The seven Santalin members who invaded Supreme palace last night, Necromancer, and the black-robed mages in the dungeons were not killed.
The camouflager “Crow” was poisoned by Storm Queen Ella Silan. Apostle did not participate in the battle and naturally did not produce the Magic Cube. One of the two assassins in the banquet hall was severely injured and captured alive, while the other was killed by King Dwarves’s messenger. There was no Magic Cube.
Only in the garden did Rand and Hill participate, and Qin Lun finally caught up with the aftermath. The two followers of Necromancer finally dropped a bloody Magic Cube.
However, the main force of this battle was Easten and the other storyline characters. Qin Lun and Apostle didn’t contribute much, so they couldn’t count on this Bloody Magic Cube to produce anything good. Rand divided the other two into two pieces of broken crystals and took away the ownership of the Magic Cube.
The next morning, Qin Lun and the others followed King Dwarves’s envoy and quietly left Supreme palace. However, after they left the west gate, there was already a team waiting by the side of the main road.
There were Mastasia, Linda the Dragon Vein and Great Sage Lenny, as well as Emily Silver Hands, whose eyes were still swollen, and a silver guard led by Anacelia.
“I knew you were unreliable. Are you going to leave me?” Masta Xia glared at Qin Lun with a face full of resentment.
“Are you still following me?” Qin Lun glanced at Easten at the back of the line and sighed helplessly.
The druid pretended to turn her face innocently. The Highland Elves would intercept him halfway outside the city, naturally because she accidentally spilled the beans.
In fact, when Qin Lun left this time, his companions had only informed Easten and Idrea that they did not intend to bring Mastasia with them. The Highland Fairies were harpists and often exchanged information with the Harpsichord Alliance. And now, they had become thorns in the side of the Santalin Society, not wanting to reveal their whereabouts.
“Caution is necessary, but at least say goodbye to all of us!” Linda teased as she covered her chest with an injured look on her face.
“Do you want to follow me?” Qin Lun was slightly stunned as he looked at Great Sage Lenny. This pair of Candlekeep’s beauties were led by her.
“No, Ferrari, Linda and I are going back to Candlekeep!” Great Sage Lenny pushed her glasses and said with a weary expression, “Perhaps it was because Linda and I were hiding that we were unable to gain your trust. We can understand that.”
However, please believe that we do not have any malicious intentions. Silvermoon City has regained its calm. We should return now. This time, we are here to bid farewell. There are also two gifts for you and your companions. ”
As Lenny spoke, she took out a golden skeleton the size of a palm and handed it to Qin Lun. “This is the undead puppet that was left behind by Necromancer of the Santalin Society on the night of the celebration. The other one is irreparable. Knowing that you are leaving, Elaszo erased the soul mark from it and asked me to hand it over to you.”
“This thing … can I also use it?” Qin Lun took the golden skeleton in surprise. He had seen the power of this thing that night. Apart from lacking intelligence, its physical attacks and defenses were excellent, comparable to high-level summoning creatures.
“Its original master-slave seal was combined with the soul flame, and it has dissipated. However, I used a Demon Statue Core instead. There are certain times to use it. After consuming the Core Crystal Stones, I have to refill it.”
Lenny leaned closer and whispered, “Remember to activate the spell …”
Qin Lun carefully memorized the activation spell and casually threw it into the guild warehouse. When he first obtained this item, he received a starry sky prompt. This golden skeleton belonged to a world monster, but it could not be brought into the shattered starry sky. It could only be used in Toril World.
Thinking about it, the Golden Skull was of such a high level that it would probably cost a lot to bring it into the shattered starry sky. And now that they had received all the mission benefits they needed, Starry Sky naturally would no longer acquiesce to the fact that this item belonged to Apostle.
Lenny saw Qin Lun put away the golden skeleton and took out a small black jade seal from the sleeve of the mage’s robe. She smiled and pulled Qin Lun’s left hand to cover the back of his hand.
A magical halo flashed across the black jade seal, causing Qin Lun to feel a slight stinging pain on the back of his hand. He lowered his head and saw a castle pattern shining with candlelight on the top of the tower slightly shining on the back of his hand and quickly disappearing beneath his skin.
“Certificate of Candlekeep?!” Mastasia raised her eyebrows slightly.
“Not bad!” Lenny nodded to Mastasia and said to Qin Lun, “In the future, when you travel on the continent, if you encounter any problems with your knowledge, this Candlekeep Certificate may be of some help to you. Most of the libraries in Feilun City will not refuse requests from Candlekeep Certificate Scholars.”
“Thank you!” Qin Lun smiled and thanked him. He understood that Lenny had given him this Candlekeep certificate not only to apologize for his previous actions, but also to his status as the Elf Prince.
There were quite a few books in Fairy Court’s collection. Lenny wanted to get in touch with him, so she probably had the potential to collect Candlekeep literature for Elves in the future.
“Elistine, Idrea, and Ferrari, take care!” A layer of mist appeared in Emily’s red and swollen eyes. The little girl had just lost her mentor, and now her good friends were leaving, which made her even more sad.
“Don’t be sad, we will come back to see you!” Idrea rubbed the little girl’s head and hugged her with pity.
“Prince Ferrar!” Seeing everyone say goodbye one by one, Anacelia, who had been waiting at the back, finally came forward and whispered, “Lord Elaszo gave me that letter. When I’m ready, I’m leaving for Ank Fairy Court. However, I don’t know anything about King Tyrannquilas. Can you give me any advice?”
“Are you the messenger of the Silvermoon Alliance?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up, and his heart was filled with joy. He understood the purpose of Silvermoon City Lord’s arrangement.
Anacelia was a confidant of the Silvermoon City Lord’s bodyguard, and her identity was quite special. It wasn’t just for sending messages that she sent Anke Fairy Court. It was already an official visit. Elaszo clearly had the intention to form an alliance.
As long as there were no problems with King Tynequilas, when Qin Lun and the others returned, the Star-Moon Alliance’s second phase goal would be achieved.
“Don’t worry, King Tynequilas is a friendly king. Anke Fairy Court will preserve the greatest goodwill towards the visitors and messengers who bring friendship. You will complete your mission successfully.”
Qin Lun smiled and said, “However, Anke Fairy Court is currently reorganizing the Fairy Court in the south-central part of the continent, and the other powers in the vicinity may not want to see all of this. Therefore, you must be cautious along the way. It’s best not to reveal your identity or the purpose of your mission.”
“I understand, thank you!” The female knight of Elves pondered for a moment and bowed to express her gratitude.
After a short farewell, Qin Lun and the others set off again. Masta Xia finally joined the team. Since the Highland Elves had followed him, Qin Lun could not refuse this harpsichord master who had helped a lot.
“Ferrari, Lord Jillim wants to talk to you!” Lorraine rode his pony to Qin Lun’s side.
“Alright, I’ll be right there!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he pulled his mount towards the front of the group.
Gilliam Barbarian Hammer, the emissary of the Dwarves, was also the legendary expert who helped Elaszo kill an assassin on the night of the celebration. This dwarf expert was in his prime, a confidant who had followed Dwarf King Bruno through the Ice Wind Valley for many years.
During the three hundred years of the Dwarf King’s mercenary career, this Dwarf expert had always been Bruno Warhammer’s most trusted companion and subordinate. Compared to the master-servant relationship, the two of them were more like brothers and apprentices.
Gilliam had a large brown beard, bulging muscles on his bare arms, scars, and a helmet with horns that looked like Dwarves’s, with a head full of gray braids under it.
When Qin Lun walked to his side, Dwarves was competing with the pony under his butt. Although he wasn’t tall, his weight was not light. With his heavy double-edged axe and steel shield, it was only natural that the pony wouldn’t take a step forward.
“Lord Jillim, let this poor animal go!” Qin Lun greeted with a smile.
“Ah? Haha, this little thing is really disobedient!” Seeing Qin Lun arrive, Jillim jumped off the horse awkwardly and slapped the pony’s head. The pony let out a wronged hiss and quickly ran away from the irritated Dwarves.
“Ferrari? I’ve heard Elaszo say that you’re grateful for everything you’ve done for us! Oh, I’m not referring to the assassination in Silvermoon City, but to the time you saved Lorraine!” Old Dwarf blew his beard and looked up at Qin Lun.
Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat as he jumped off his horse and walked with Dwarves.
“You’re welcome. When we met Lorraine, we only wanted to borrow the power of Snow Peak’s Dwarves. After all, the Japanese Elves Diplomatic Corps was short of manpower at that time.” Qin Lun said regretfully, “Actually, in the Undead Valley, it was the sacrifices of Elder Loyle and the others that saved us. Snow Peak Dwarves does not owe us anything.”
“Oh!” Jillim fell silent. Qin Lun’s frankness surprised him.
In fact, Elaszo had reminded not only Qin Lun but also Dwarves of everything about the silver-haired Elves. In his first impression, Gilliam did not like the black-bellied Prince Elves.
Although he had promised Lorraine before, he still didn’t want Qin Lun to go to Camp Dwarves.
“Then … what do you want to do with Lorraine this time?” Jillim asked calmly.
“We want King Dwarves’s friendship. At the same time, I’ve heard about the Secret Bank Hall from Lorraine. If possible, I hope to be of some help!” Qin Lun shrugged and said frankly.
“How about this!” Jillim frowned. Elf Prince’s candor made it impossible for him to say anything about his original refusal to travel with him. He could not directly reject a Moon Dwarves on behalf of King Elf Prince. This had nothing to do with his personal preferences.
“Alright, you can go to the camp with Lorraine. However, it’s more dangerous there. You must remember not to run around.” In the end, the Dwarves experts could only pinch their noses and agree, even if they were a little unwilling to let them follow them to the camp.
After finishing his conversation with Dwarves, Qin Lun’s guild channel immediately rang out with Hill and Rand’s questions.
“Qin Lun, is Old Dwarf on guard against us?”
“Haha, he doesn’t want us to join the storyline of the Secret Bank Hall, but I’ve already dealt with it!” Qin Lun didn’t care at all. The honest Dwarves was much easier to deal with than Silvermoon City Lord. When they arrived at Camp Dwarves and received the storyline mission, it didn’t matter whether Jillim agreed or not.
After walking for about half a day, Mastasia urged the horse closer to Qin Lun and reminded him solemnly, “Ferrar, we seem to have been targeted. Look over there …”
Following Masta Xia’s instructions, Qin Lun turned around and looked. At the edge of a small forest hundreds of meters to the left of the road, there were five hooded men riding horses, looking this way.
Seeing that Qin Lun and the others had noticed him, the leader of the five waved to Qin Lun and pulled his horse into the forest.
