"Then I watched as the body of the Golden King, Gil Salad, disintegrated and destroyed in front of our eyes, turning into countless specks of inauspicious golden brilliance." The elder sighed.

"Isn't the golden glow inauspicious? This is definitely an entrenchment, right? However, in a sense, thinking about it is really in line with the style of the king of kings, and he didn't even forget to brush up on a force or something when he died. ”

Well, it's just a rhetorical device caused by stubborn prejudice. In fact, if you recall it carefully, the shining appearance is still very gorgeous and handsome, and it is indeed a special way to die in line with King Gilsarad. Old Elder Nick smiled bitterly embarrassedly and said, "It's just that those gorgeous rays of light have brought to our group of people, after all, it is an extremely long period of pain. Now that I think about it, I don't think it's auspicious. ”

“…… Could it be that it is because of the curse of the Golden King that you have become what you are now? Unable to reincarnate for a long time, with such an attitude of immortality, has survived to this day? Lu Xi felt that his inference should still be very reasonable. After all, we all know that the Golden King was already a legitimate mortal supreme monarch at that time, and he was basically a heavenly constitution. When he cursed the gods and the entire world with his soul origin, he naturally ushered in the king of the void, the old demon of the world, the number one in the sky. From this point of view, he should have the ability to activate the spirit of the law of cause and effect, and turn all the elves of the Evergreen Hermitage into the living dead.

However, is this so decisive that there are many hatreds that need to be played? Sure enough, all the heroes in this world who can become legendary heroes are paranoid, and paranoia can easily become secondary two?

"He's really a very determined person, kid Lu Xi. After all, before the death of the goddess of Phyin, including my king. The kings of the world are sincere in their devotion to Him as our Sovereign Lord. Nick Furs sighed, "When he is still sensible and benevolent, he naturally ********wants to bring prosperity, abundance, and glory to the world, and to be called a perfect king." And when he becomes a crazy avenger, he will also be the most terrible enemy in the world. A person's ideas may be extinct, like a drowsy person who wakes up. Maybe it will change everything before you fell asleep. However, if people have a strong will, their determination and ability to act will not change. What we are facing is the Golden King who has completely awakened the other side, and it is also the most terrifying side. ”

Is the so-called one thought becoming a Buddha and one thought becoming a demon? That's probably what he was trying to say.

"We watched as the Golden King's body and obsession turned into light and dispersed, but then, we saw that the comrades-in-arms who had already died under his sword came back to life one by one...... Or rather, they all turned into gray-skinned living dead. Then, wielding his blade, he struck us. Like all the undead, they seem to have completely lost their reason and emotions as the living, leaving only the undead who cannot fall into reincarnation, and they are extremely hated and jealous of life. ”

However, even the living dead, who seem to have completely lost their sanity and vitality, are unable to use the druid magic of the god of nature, Sephastia, and the goddess of life, Elune, but can still use their combat skills and combat experience in their entirety, and even perform more refined and accurate. There is no superfluity in sight. And, perhaps, the reason why you are not afraid of injury or death. They were even able to show the fighting power that these fighters had never shown in their lifetimes.

Faced with the sudden attack of their comrades-in-arms, who were even more powerful than their predecessors, the Elven Forbidden Army soldiers of the Hermitage were caught off guard, and many of them died on the spot in the first round.

"What makes people feel even more terrifying and desperate is that those comrades who have just died in the sneak attack of their comrades have completed the transformation between life and death in just a moment, and quickly joined the army of the living dead. We were completely in despair. can only barely parry. At that moment, I was already wondering if I should ignite the source of magic in my body and shatter my body to pieces, maybe in this way, I could avoid the fate of becoming this plague of living dead zombies, right? ”

If you do, it won't work.

"Just think about it. If I did, my soul would still not be able to transcend it, and my body would turn to ashes, but my soul would definitely turn into a fierce spirit. Maybe the harm to the world will be even greater. The old ghost smiled helplessly: "I fought with my deputy who turned into the living dead for a few rounds, and it took a long time to cut off his body. However, the first half of his life still clung to my robe, like a madman. I'm not afraid of your jokes, kid, I was completely stunned. But at that time, I noticed their eyes, not the hollow eyes of the undead who were nothing but murder and cruelty...... Rather, it was full of emotion, despair, pain, struggle, sorrow, anger, and even pleading, begging me to end their lives. ”

He looked at Lu Xi, who was already getting goosebumps, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I suddenly understood at that time. They have not lost their minds and memories, let alone the pride and honor of being warriors, but their souls are still firmly bound in their lifeless bodies, unable to escape or perish. It was not themselves who turned their bodies into killing machines, but the terrifying inhibition created by King Gilsalad's resentment. ”

Speaking of this, the old ghost let out a long breath, his eyes flickered, his face was heavy, and he seemed to still be apprehensive about the scene at that time, but Lu Xi on the side had already heard it solemnly.

Twist a group of noble warriors with honor, loyalty, and a sense of mission into powerful undead who know nothing but killing and destruction, but still retain their souls and memories. Let them feel the "depravity" brought about by their "body" at a close distance, and let them feel alive the grief and despair brought about by this deep and inescapable sense of guilt, until the day when the world will be destroyed.

It turns out that this is the revenge and curse of the Golden King Gil Salad!

To be sure, if you put yourself in that position, the only thing you can think about is to end your body as soon as possible. Even if it is wiped out, it will not hesitate.

“…… Without the intervention of the Holy See of Sephastia and the Holy See of Elune, I am afraid that we would indeed be transformed into a group of old spirits. Destroy and kill everywhere and become a scourge of the undead even more dangerous than Kazan. If we're lucky, maybe in a few hundred years, some hero will successfully defeat us and let us be freed. ”

This is indeed to lament the impermanence and coincidence of fate.

When the warriors of the Hermitage entered the Temple of Destiny, they naturally had no direct access to the true body of the World Tree like the gods. Large-scale prophecy magic can only be cast in the temple to deduce the trail of the fate line. Old Man Nick Fols (who was still a young elven paladin at the time) was not good at using prophecy magic, and while the leader of the regiment, Hidzcliff, and several of the Grand Druid's knights teamed up to perform prophecy magic, he was tasked with searching every corner of the Temple of Destiny, hoping to find clues from other sources. In the temple built between the dimensional and the space, it may take an average of 10,000 years for an outsider to visit, and naturally there is nothing left inside, however, he was lucky enough to get a leaf of the World Tree from the corner of the temple.

We all know that. Anything dropped from the World Tree carries divinity, its fruit gives Pallas, the goddess of wisdom, the ability to see through the truth of the past, its branches become the World Tree scepter in Lu Xi's hands, and its leaves contain the original power of life and order represented by the World Tree itself.

Soak the leaves of the World Tree in clear water for a day, and that water can be turned into an elixir for the flesh and bones of the living dead. Nick Furs originally wanted to leave the leaf for everyone to make tea and drink...... However, it played a decisive role when the two main gods of the elves, Sephastia, the god of nature, and Elune, the god of life, came to the world.

"The Golden King cursed as the supreme king of the mortal world, and even the two Holy Thrones couldn't get rid of it......"

Well. According to the saying of our hometown, it is a crazy curse at the cost of the dragon qi of the son of heaven and the luck of the world. In this way, it seems that it is really not something that can be solved by a few random gods and Buddhas. Lu Xi thought, and considering that after that, the No. 1 old devil of Tianzi Lafarfil would descend, it was estimated that even if the sun god and his old man came in person, he would not be able to solve this problem.

"However, then the power of the leaves of the World Tree. The Holy See of Sefastia finally transformed him into an artifact, naming him the Verdant Star......"

What a corny name. Lu Xi thought.

"This artifact does not stop us from transforming into the undead, but it can effectively suppress the formation of negative energy, or at least allow us to regain our sanity as a living person. However, the power of the Golden King's curse was so powerful. Even the power of the leaves of the World Tree can only play a temporary role. So, it took us a while and finally found a small island in the middle of Tatsukai. This is the place where the life magic in the Chenhai leylines and ocean currents gathers and transforms, with the life force from all over the world, build a large altar here, and then use the emerald star as the core to operate, you can create a permanent large life circle, and maintain its life magic power enough to suppress the curse and negative energy on us within a certain range. The Ghost Elder smiled, "So, this is the current situation of this Evergreen Hermitage. There is no way to prevent ourselves from dying, nor can we prevent ourselves from becoming immortal undead, but at least, we can maintain the character and memory of the living as a living person, and we will not be transformed into monsters that only know how to kill the living by negative energy. I won't be able to leave the island, but at least I'll be able to survive until now. ”

…… So, it wasn't the navy of Auckland who first discovered Neosphia and founded the city, but the undead of this mythical age? No wonder this old man has been able to live from the age of mythology to the present, well, although it is in the form of a ghost, at least he has not become the kind of ghost that exudes a rancid smell all over his body and everyone shouts and beats him, which is probably a lucky thing, right?

However, when this circle and shelter were first established, it is estimated that even the elder sister Elune, the goddess of life, and the fallen god of nature, could not have imagined that a small island in the middle of the ocean would become the world's largest commercial city today, 10,000 years later. The undead, even if they are sane and harmless, are really easy to frighten the children and can't see the light at all, so they can only be driven into the dungeon by a large group of latecomers to hide, which sounds really poignant enough.

Of course, considering the problem of the big hidden in the city, maybe people are looking forward to this more.

"So...... I've met a lot of other undead on it, zombies and ghosts, well, and a non-mainstream troll. But all of them still look quite 'young'. They wouldn't all be members of your monastery, would they? Lu Xi looked at the Lich and Necromantic Knights, who had been silent on the side before: "And Mr. Bonnel and Lady Selmina, you should have moved here recently, right?" ”

"It is because of our obsession in life that we have been able to maintain our barely sanity during the hundred years of the undead lords. However, with the fall of the Plague King, the object of our binding, the object of our hatred, is no longer there. If, according to common sense, it is only a matter of time before they eventually lose their memories and become 'normal' high-level undead. The lich, dressed like a farmer, spread out his hand and smiled very calmly: "However, the power of the emerald star and the life circle can not only suppress the cursed power of old Mr. Nick and the hermit seniors, but also suppress the negative energy in us. As long as you stay within the scope of its domain, you don't have to worry about one day, you will forget who you are. For the embarrassing existence that we have become undead, but we feel that we have not lived, and there are many things that have not been done, this is the best refuge. ”

"So, what do you think is the unfinished business?" Lu Xi asked with interest.

"Of course, I haven't had enough of the two-person world with my wife!" Mr. Lich naturally hugged the waist of the necromantic knight's sister, and gave Lu Xi a thumbs up, revealing a calm smile that was completely inconsistent with the style of the undead painting: "Like Lu Xi's little friend...... Ah no, the suave second man will definitely understand me, right? ”

yes, that's so understanding. However, the lord of the Crystal Palace like this protagonist will be shown affection by a pair of undead, and I always feel that something is wrong.

"In addition, when I was alive, I was always busy with my career and making money, but in fact, I still neglected my family to some extent, and I didn't regret it until I died. The gods and fate have really been kind to me, and I have a chance to make amends when I die. That's enough, it's really enough. He smiled very contentedly: "In addition, our children, well, it should be that our great-grandchildren have also grown up." It is actually a very interesting thing to watch his descendants run the little industry left behind in those years to this point, and to watch them multiply into a very prestigious family. ”

"Your posterity......"

"The Sequoia Chamber of Commerce is the property run by the great-grandson of Mr. Bonnier and Mrs. Selmina." Killitt lowered his voice.

Oh, it turned out to be the business that ran Neosfia's largest chain of alchemical products, adventure paraphernalia, and weapons! Well, that's a great opportunity...... But this is a later story, such a realistic plot of pulling relationships and doing business is not quite in line with the overall atmosphere of the current "Lost Legend", so let's study it slowly later.

"So, Mr. Nick." Lu hoped for the old ghost, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "The evergreen hermit will live in seclusion here, silently paying attention to the changes in the world, it should not only be seclusion, by the way, teach a little apprentice, and leave a little bit of the inheritance of the ancient mortal elf empire, is it so simple?" I always feel that a secret organization like yours with a long history would be particularly incomprehensible if it didn't have a little bit of an ancient mission or something. (To be continued.) )
