After sending the skeleton away, Annan leaned on the pillow and looked back at the moon outside the window, squinting his eyes slightly.

Although the Skeleton Father did not refuse his call, he did answer his questions...... But the "secrets" he spoke of were very clever in avoiding the crucial issues—in particular, the parts that might touch on himself.

For example, what kind of organization was the Necromantic Alliance, how did he and the Pale Princess get to know each other, what they were going to do, and why were they scattered now......

These questions that may touch on the skeleton prince himself, including the precursor questions that may lead to these problems, he directly pretended to be stupid and did not mention a word.

But when he gave information about the Pale Princess and the Half-Dead Daughter, he was very detailed—especially about "how to identify the Half-Dead Daughter" and "the personal habits and preferences of the Pale Princess." It's like deliberately trying to get rid of the Necromantic Alliance and draw Annan's attention to the Pale Princess.

"That's it......"

Annan shook his head slightly, leaving the matter behind.

This crumbs has been crumbled to him a little bit of getting used to it.

If he had pulled himself in this time, Annan would have wondered if he was trying to do something.

However, the Skeleton Father also revealed some secrets about the Pale Princess to Annan......

The head that the pale princess was holding in her arms was not her lover, but her followers.

Yes, although the priests of the Pale Princess are all half-dead daughters, her followers have no such restrictions.

After all, He is so beautiful and singing that many believers are obsessed with following Him, both men and women......

What she was looking for was truly "an interesting soul". It has nothing to do with net worth, no appearance, no age, no gender...... It's not even about race.

The highest ritual that a follower of the Pale Princess could perform was to sacrifice his head to Him. If the pale princess thinks that this is a person whose thoughts are interesting enough, she will accept it, and carry the person's head with her all the time, whispering to his—or her soul—day and night, singing for her lover, and kissing her.

- until she meets another, more interesting soul, or gets tired of this person's soul.

But she will not abandon these souls, but will draw them out and take them with her.

Over time, wherever the Pale Princess walks, a phenomenon called the "Pale Tide" will occur. That is, at night, accompanied by strange songs, a white smoke will suddenly roll up in the sky, and slowly pass through the air like a violent wind.

There are some legends in folklore...... If you are unfortunate enough to see a wave of paleness, you will be seriously ill afterwards.

The statement of the Skeleton Male, which confirms this legend.

As long as you are exposed to the light of those ghosts, you will be slowly drained of life force. For ordinary people, the sudden drain of life force is enough to make a person sick, but because they will immediately hide at the sight of the pale tide, there is nothing wrong with them; But for the transcendent, this bit of vitality will not bring them much loss...... It can even be extracted some erosion as a result.

Those transcendents who are on the verge of madness will even take the initiative to look for traces of the pale princess and catch the tide.

And if you indulge in the pleasure of the soul being gradually purified, you may lose your strength and fall on the road...... Eventually, it turned into a corpse that fell beneath the pale tide, adding another fire to the continuation of this legend.

Besides.

Annan also got another very important piece of information -

Princess Pale has another alias.

- The Throat of Death.

The singer who brought death.

Yes.

The "Throat of Death's Influence" on Annan's body came from the Pale Princess.

“…… Okay, too. ”

didn't ask in vain, at least knocked out some bone marrow......

Annan politely sent the skeleton away.

Still, the Pale Princess......

Annan fell into deep thought.

I don't know what kind of nightmare he will get into.

“…… Forget it, go to sleep. ”

Annan finally simply closed his eyes and fell backwards.

As he soon fell asleep, Annan felt that his body seemed to become a little fluttery.

He seemed to float in the clouds, and there was a strange singing voice looming in his ears. But listening to the song, Annan felt that his limbs were getting colder and colder......

It's like being immersed in ice water, the feeling of being cold and clear is never able to wake up completely.

While he was haunted by this nightmare and woke up from sleep, Annan's consciousness suddenly woke up, and he saw a few lines of prompts appear in front of him:

["Primary-Effect: Remnants of the Dead Throat" has reverberate.]

【Entering the Dream Realm】

【Dream Key Not Detected】

[Searching for nightmares, keywords are "deceased"......]

[Nightmare found]

[Falling into a nightmare, quest generation......]

【Dungeon difficulty: Difficult】

[The total erosion of the squad is 2%, the difficulty of the dungeon is increased by 2%, and the probability of nightmare distortion is increased by 2%]

[Warning: Element of Interest Detected, Nightmare Distorted-]

[This dungeon has no save points, each death increases the erosion by 12%, and the dungeon is forced to quit after 1 death]

[This dungeon provides the introduction of the story, and there is a decryption reward]

[Dungeon Clearance Reward: Profession (Wizard) Raised by 3 Levels]

【Loading Completed】

When Annan woke up again, he noticed that his body was shaking.

It's not out of fear...... Rather, because of the dampness and cold.

Annan realized that he was huddled in a damp dungeon.

The left hand was shackled, the other end of the chain was fixed to the wall, and there were some obvious scars on the wrist of the left hand, which seemed to be just beginning to become inflamed...... It must have been left over from the time when he was struggling to break free from the chains not long ago.

His right hand was intact.

This position can only allow him to sit or kneel down at most, and he cannot lie down at all...... I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep because of this.

Annan also didn't know how long it had been since the body had fallen asleep. He could only feel a strong sense of exhaustion.

Strangely, there were no signs of torture on him other than that.

Even the health level is as high as 94%.

This means that he is basically woundless...... Even if I ate and drank, I never went hungry.

“…… Not? ”

When Annan examined the injury, he noticed that it was supposed to be a woman's body.

Judging by her skin, knuckles, and palms, she would not be in her thirties at most, and she should still be very young. And she has no calluses in her palms, the skin on the back of her right hand is smooth, and she is not a peasant woman.

Annan lowered his head and tried to check his clothes with his right hand in the extremely dim light.

Somewhat surprisingly, she was dressed quite neatly and not messily at all. It's not like a prisoner's prison uniform...... But the cloth is not the kind of high-end cloth that the nobles would use.

Do clerical work or entertainment? Or simply not working yet?

The people who tortured her here and didn't let her sleep peacefully didn't torture her. The man's purpose...... And what is it?

At this moment, Annan felt a familiar slight dizziness, and new words appeared in front of his eyes again:

[Evelyn Miller was supposed to be a natural dancer.] Born with a soft and powerful body, extraordinary beauty, and a heart that is extremely sensitive to art and music, she should be loved by Yaon. 】

[But when she was fourteen years old, she lost almost everything because of an unfortunate accident.] Her path was completely terminated as a result. 】

Since then, she has never danced in front of people. 】

[Until one day, she accidentally saw the dance of the "Moon Dancer"...... The soul-grabbing dance made her unforgettable. 】

[She tried to talk to her, but suddenly lost consciousness the moment she spoke]

[When she wakes up, she finds herself in a damp and cold dungeon]

[She realizes that she may have been kidnapped]

After these traces faded, new words resurfaced before Annan's eyes:

【Main Quest: Homecoming】

Immediately, a large area of small print quickly appeared under this line:

【Keep the body intact】

[Don't talk to anyone]

[Back to Reality]
