Chapter 202: First Arrival on the Shadow Island (2/5 - Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Rod fulfilled his promise and spared Huck's life, even giving him a very high standard of treatment - Huck's cell was not a prison, but his own castle.
The Forgotten Realm is geographically ...... It's in Ionia, what if you can use Hack in the future?
(But then again, this time Huck doesn't have a servant, and he takes care of the castle alone...... Let's hope Huck won't die of exhaustion because his house is too big. )
And when Rod returned to the Siren with the baton, Sarah had also completed the initial sweep of the crow and the old blower's nest.
Then things get simpler.
After Naga Capolos retreated, Cana began to expand her Storm Priesthood; Rhodes is hurrying to practice his use of the Safron Flame Rune - as for Sarah, she is taking her deputy Raven to deal with all kinds of disobedience.
Unlike Planck's "Lao Tzu is the strongest" rule, Sarah wants to establish a more rigorous pirate order, which means that she needs to work harder to subdue everyone.
But fortunately, no one in the whole of Bilgewater is Sarah's opponent, and it is only a matter of time before he masters the whole of Bilgewater.
If nothing else, it won't be long before Bilgewater will have a new pirate queen.
And now, this has little to do with Rhodes - while Sarah is still cleaning up the unconvinced pirates, Rhodes has boarded the ship to the Shadow Isle with two little loli and a bitter uncle with Cana.
……………………
Shadow Isle is located in the northernmost fog of Bilgewater, and few know exactly where it is - but finding it is easy.
It's good to move towards a place where the black fog is thick.
The vast defensive barrier that once sheltered Fukuko Island was transformed into the thick black mist it is now after the curse erupted—but its function has not changed.
The Black Mist still shelters the Isle of Shadows.
Because Rhodes himself can't steer ships, there are still quite a few ordinary sailors on Rhodes' ship - and after entering the fog, these people are in a bit of a bad state.
Although this black fog is not the pure negative energy of the Soul Eclipse Night, it will still be affected by ordinary people after being exposed to it.
In desperation, Rhodes had to stand on the deck as a humanoid torch all the time, and the blazing flames of Safron dispelled the black fog to a certain extent, allowing the sailors to breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, when the sailors were all exhausted, the ship arrived on the Isle of Shadows.
After pulling Zoe and Jinx off the boat, Rhodes watched the ship slowly drift away with the wind, and then turned back to take a closer look at the Shadow Isle.
Not...... Not to mention, it's really a little similar to Icecrown Fortress.
It was as if the negative energy of substance was constantly trying to invade Rhodes and his party, and visibility was extremely low throughout the island - and as far as could be seen, there were wandering unconscious spirits everywhere.
These undead are weak and belong to the kind of people who have little to no combat power - either skeletons with missing arms and legs, toddled zombies without bandages, or ghosts on the verge of dissipating and almost transparent.
All in all, a bunch of scum who have no combat effectiveness.
Not to mention Rhodes and his party, even if it is an ordinary person, as long as he can resist the erosion of negative energy, he can be unparalleled among these undead.
But that's not good news.
Rhodes would not be naïve enough to think that this was because the undead on Shadow Island were too weak, but if he thought about it a little, he knew that it was because the undead with combat power were all under control.
Fighting with a plate of loose sand is a completely different concept than fighting an army of the dead.
Rhodes still remembers the impact of those tireless, undaunted, and unresting spirits on the walls of Stratholme!
The undead do not collapse, and even if they die, they will not take a step back, which dooms them to be extremely difficult opponents.
After a brief recuperation, Rhodes and his party set out towards the depths of the Shadow Isle - and soon they were in the middle of a dense forest.
The black fog in the dense forest seemed to be extraordinarily dense, and although it was not so close that it could not be seen without losing sight of its fingers, it was almost impossible to see three meters away.
Just as Rod was carefully perceiving his surroundings, there was a soft sound of footsteps in the black mist.
"Go back, the living." A deep voice appeared not far from Rhodes, "This is not the place you should be - this is the underworld of the dead, not a paradise for the living - turn back, before you go deeper, the Shadow Isle is more terrifying than you can imagine." ”
"Who's where?" Rod narrowed his eyes slightly, "Let me guess - you're Yorick?" ”
“……”
The voice fell silent.
A moment later, the footsteps got closer and closer, and a rickety figure holding a shovel finally appeared in front of Rod.
"It's ...... It's rare that someone ...... I still remember my name. Unlike the reminder above, Yorick seems to have not spoken to anyone for too long, so his language is a little dry and incoherent, "I am...... Yorick. ”
"Famous mourners, gravediggers, and soul shepherds."
In the face of Yorick, Rhodes performed a mage salute - in any case, a man like Yorick who insisted on his duty always deserved respect.
"This is not the place you should be." Without a return salute, Yorick continued to repeat his admonition somewhat mechanically, "This is not the place you should be—"
