Chapter 622: This Is the Real World (Part I)

"More than happy to serve you, my master."

The two cold lights in Kangus's eyes instantly skyrocketed, and at the same time, the eight soul gems also emitted a brilliant light. It opened its mouth and laughed wildly and shouted, "Hahahahaha! Go ahead! Kill them all! Not a single one to stay! Tear apart everything that is alive with your blades, and let death envelop the land once and for all. ā€

As soon as he finished speaking, all the undead stood up and quickly left the cave, heading towards the Eye Demon lair in front of them. One of the Death Knights slapped his armor and began to sing an old ballad:

"We come from the darkness! It's a cold corpse. ā€

"We are spurned by the sun and can only live in the tombs."

"There is no joy, no warmth, no loved ones, we are a group of tormented souls."

"Pain! Sadness! Wrath! We will never compromise with fate! ā€

"Come on! Death. We want to spread you to every corner of the world. ā€

"We are the dead, fearless and unstoppable."

……

Hearing this sad ballad, Henry closed his eyes and savored it for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "It's a good song, but why have I never heard anyone mention it before?" ā€

"It's a cursed song, and if the living dare to sing it, they will begin to transform into the undead within a week, and no amount of magic or magic can stop the whole process, so almost no one in the world of the living knows about it." Congus obviously knew the Song of the Dead very well, and made a detailed introduction without even thinking about it.

Henry felt the strange magic contained in the tune, nodded lightly and asked, "Cursed Song?" I guess the creator isn't mortal. ā€

"It's not clear. Some say that Jecob, the ancient god of death, created it. Some people say it's the Demon Maharaja. The Immortal Emperor - Orcas. In short, the creator must have mastered the mystery of death. Otherwise, it would be impossible to incorporate the rules of death into the song. I've tried to crack the secrets, but in the end nothing has come to an end, and perhaps only the true Grim Reaper can understand what it means. ā€

Congus's voice was filled with intense reluctance and anger. Obviously, he is haunted by not being able to complete the crack, and he still can't let go.

"Don't worry, no matter what kind of secret it is, there will be a day when it will be revealed. When this trip is over, I invite you to participate in a real yĆ n. The object of the real yĆ n is God. As he said the last word, Henry kept his voice so low that no one could hear him except the half-lich beside him.

He's already made up his mind to take out Joan. Immediately after that, Irenikas began to dissect the corpse of the Sage of Amanata to see how the gods differed from mortals.

As his strength grows stronger, he can feel that the day of confrontation with the gods is getting closer and closer, and if he doesn't hurry up and accumulate some more hole cards, he will be in a hurry. Especially the lost lady Sha'er, who has been hiding in the shadows and spying on her, simply gives people a feeling of thorn in the back.

"God!" When Congus heard the word, the golden skull couldn't help but tremble. The cold light in his eyes skyrocketed instantly. Although he couldn't make any expressions, the intense love was revealed in small details.

As a half-lich standing at the apex of the undead. Congus had explored so many secrets and endless planes that ordinary research was of no interest to him. But the gods are different, as one of the ultimate beings in the multiverse, these guys have too many mysteries in them, and no spellcaster can resist such temptation.

"Allow me, host, to express my sincerest thanks to you. Rest assured, whether it's the Eye Demon, the Mind Flayer, or the Dark Elf, I will destroy any enemy who dares to stand in your way. After saying that, Congus directly led all the members of the inner ring to leave the cave and head straight in the direction of the Eye Demon Lair. He couldn't wait to kill all the enemies at the moment, and then quickly began to study the subject of gods.

Glancing at the empty cave, Henry stood directly behind Colby and said, "I'll give you a mission." Go to the lair to find the Elder's Eye, kill it, and bring the corpse back intact. ā€

"Do as you command." The Balorfire fell to his knees and saluted, then spread his huge wings to chase the army of the undead in front of him. Like all demons, he also craves killing and destruction, and while devouring flesh and soul does not increase strength, it can produce intense pleasure.

Soon, with the release of Bertlym's legendary magic "Terrifying Cold", the warm temperature of the dark region was broken. A strong cold wind mixed with a large amount of hail and snowflakes swept through all the nearby areas in an instant, dropping below zero in just a few minutes, and a thin layer of frost formed on the ground and stalagmites.

After another ten minutes, the snow at the entrance of the cave had accumulated to a thickness of half a meter, and many underground creatures could not adapt to this sudden change and began to die one after another.

But this is just the beginning, "Terrifying Deep Cold" is a legendary magic of natural disasters that lasts for dozens of hours, and when it ends, the ambient temperature will be unimaginably low, even barbarians living in cold regions cannot resist it, not to mention these underground creatures that are not tolerant of cold at all.

But Congus doesn't have that much patience to wait anymore. Forty minutes after the blizzard fell, he launched a general assault, first with the Bone Golem opening the way, followed by the Death Knights, then the Dead-Eyed Tyrants, and finally the dreaded Lichs. With such a powerful lineup, it instantly broke through the defense line laid by the Eye Demon with a devastating force, and then began a tragic tunnel battle.

In order to give his son a more intuitive understanding of these monsters, Henry directly took out a crystal ball and watched the battle inside. As he had predicted, upon entering the lair, the Beholder's resistance suddenly became fierce, countless magic rays flashed through the narrow passage, and the six powerful death knights were dissociated into green powder before they could charge.

"This ...... This is the power that you are hiding?!!! This...... This is the most authentic side of the world?!! Alan's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself.

He couldn't believe that he was called a Wise Lord by countless people. A father who has made countless people live happily. He even has a huge army of undead creatures. And there are several lichs working for it. The scene completely upends the boy's worldview, and the ongoing battle also makes him realize how dangerous the land really is.

One second the Eye Demon was still shooting deadly rays, and the next second it might be swept to the ground by the Death Knight and the Bone Golem that rushed up, and the corpse was dismembered. The seemingly invincible giant skeleton warrior may be blown to pieces by unknown magic in the blink of an eye. The distance between life and death is so close that only the truly strong can guarantee their safety.

Henry quietly draped a coat made of winter wolf skin over his son, and then asked with a smile, "How is it, do you understand something now?" ā€

Alan rubbed his frozen, blue face. In a very surprised tone, he replied, "Really...... Terrible...... Compared to them, the war on the surface is really not worth mentioning. It's hard to imagine what would happen if such a monster appeared on the surface, would humanity be wiped out because of it? ā€

"Haha! If you think about it, the world on the ground is much more powerful than the underground, at least in terms of high-end power. Think about the organizations I told you, which one of them is weak? Which one doesn't have a strong Legendary Career at its disposal? It's just that most of the time these guys hide their true strength, and the confrontations between each other are fought in the shadows, which is why those wars seem so ridiculous, in fact. The real war has long been over in private. "Henry has shown no mercy in revealing the secrets that countless organizations have tried to hide.

As I said just now, in the war-prone continent of Faerun. The strength of the high-end forces determines the final success or failure. Intrigues and miracles are usually triggered by the whims of big people, such as a god, a powerful spellcaster, or a boring dragon.

In short, they manipulate their followers, servants, or subordinates to interfere, like playing chess, indulging in the pleasure of playing with the fate of others.

"What do you mean...... Most people are just pawns, unwittingly manipulated by gods or some other powerful creature? Alan asked, fearful. He suddenly discovers that the world he lives in is so terrible that conspiracy, betrayal, and deception are so pervasive that they are impossible to prevent.

"Of course, son, if you don't want to be a chess piece, then you have to work hard to become stronger until you become a chess player to manipulate the fate of others." After saying that, Henry touched his son's head encouragingly.

Alan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then raised his head and asked very strictly, "Father, I want to know how you protected yourself before you became a chess player?" ā€

Hearing such a question, Henry laughed happily, pointed to Robert who was standing on the side, and said, "See?" That's what I rely on, a network as big as the Harpists League and the Santarin. As long as you can get accurate information at the first time, you can be prepared in advance, and this is the only secret. ā€

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, turned to his head of thieves and ordered, "From now on, I allow Alan to have Level 3 clearance, and he can share some information with him. ā€

"Understood, I'll pass it on when I get back." Robert's answer was concise and concise, and without any hesitation, he agreed directly. In his opinion, the third-level authority is not a big deal, as long as it is not the first-level and special clearance, it is not worth paying attention to personally at all.

"Father, what is the third-level authority?" Alan asked, somewhat curious.

Henry smiled slightly and explained, "Level 3 clearance means you can get limited help in the towns covered by the intelligence network. For example, finding out someone's background, spying on recent events in the area, finding the legend of an object or ruin, looking for rare animals and plants, etc. I believe that in the course of your future travels, you will definitely be able to use it. ā€
