Chapter 419: List of Bones
I saw that in the wooden box in front of Rod, there was a book that was not very thick lying quietly at the moment, its cover was completely black, and the edges were made of white bones, the whole cover looked like a chilling feeling, and even felt a chill emanating from it, Rod just opened the box, and felt as if his hands were holding a piece of ice. The penetrating cold almost froze his blood——— of course, Rhodes also knew very well that it was not his body that froze, but his soul.
Is this a list of ——— bones?
Looking at the book in front of him, Rod couldn't help but gasp, he really didn't expect that he would actually see this thing, and in fact, when he saw this thing for the first time, Rode's heart immediately beat violently involuntarily, and it is no wonder that no matter which player sees this thing, they will have the same reaction.
The White Bone List is not an ordinary thing, in a sense, it is a trump card of the Night Dragon Kingdom, but this trump card is very disgraceful.
On a continent, with so many countries, it is not new for each to dig into each other's corners, and there will be people in each place who betray their country for various reasons and provide intelligence to the enemy country. However, how to ensure the loyalty of these spies, so that they do not eat inside and outside, or become two-sided agents and multi-faceted agents, this is a big problem for many intelligence agencies, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, no one can guarantee that a person will always be loyal, and no one can guarantee that others will not betray or betray secretly.
However, the emergence of the White Bone List has curbed the development of this situation to the greatest extent. It was a long time ago. Magical items created by the lich of the Night Dragon Kingdom can be written on the Bone List by passing a unique contract ceremony, and anyone whose name is on the Bone List will be able to break their promise. Then it will be immediately obliterated. Moreover, this list of bones will subtly transform their consciousness, as if hypnosis, so that these people will gradually become completely loyal to the holder of the list of bones, and become his most loyal confidants.
But the other way around. If they are able to keep their promises, then they will also be paid quite handsomely ——— eternal life.
Of course, this kind of eternity is not truly eternal, and there is no such thing as a truly eternal thing in this world, just as the creation of the five dragons in the face of time finally had to reincarnate the dragon soul to maintain their existence, even the lich and the vampire species have the end of extinction. Not to mention that this eternity is really just a way to sell your soul.
But falsehood is falsehood, and people still flock to it. After all, false eternity is at least eternal, and they have no hope of living for thousands of years. But who wouldn't want to be able to live for hundreds of years or even longer, not just a few decades of life? As for those who accuse them of selling their souls, ha. In their opinion, it's just that they want to be a bitch and set up a torii. If you can really give them a chance to live a long life without having to sell their souls, wouldn't these guys just follow them obediently?
It is precisely because of this characteristic of the White Bone List that it has also become the trump card of the Night Dragon Kingdom in various countries when they rebel, and this magic item was originally from the ancient era. Built by the great lichs uniting and condensing their essence, they are used to control the products of their own subordinates. Its creation is very complex and mysterious, and it is even rumored that the White Bone List does not use curses to achieve its goals, but rather has a deeper contact with the contract essence of the origin of the world. Because of this, the person who signed the contract with the White Bone List couldn't see any problems at all from the outside. You can't use holy magic to detect traces of necromancy from them. It is also impossible to see anything unusual about them with the naked eye. And those people don't need to secretly engage in underground rallies or kill people and bleed from time to time like cultists to maintain their existence. They just need to be the same as they are on a regular day. Just go on with your life and work, and only after a long, long time will these people be noticed that there may be some problems, but by then, their task will probably have already been completed.
If this kind of white bone list could be made in large quantities, then the Night Dragon Kingdom would probably have succeeded in dominating the continent a long time ago. But alas, since this list of bones only appeared during the Ancient Genesis battle, the lich was completely suppressed by the Five Dragons of Creation for the next two thousand years, because the biggest problem with this list is that they can only be used in the hands of lichs and necromancers. However, the Five Dragons of Creation, including the Dark Dragon, are not necromancers, and although this thing seems to be very small, if at any time even your subordinates become puppets loyal to the Lich, then you should not be in the position of the ruling class.
The Creation Five Dragons are not fools, so under their joint suppression, all the Great Lich who created the White Bone List in the first place was destroyed, and most of the White Bone List was also destroyed, and after a long thousands of years, there was not much left in the White Dragon List. Although the necromancers and lichs have been trying to repeat the glory of their predecessors, they have never succeeded. Even the use of this powerful magic item is becoming more and more ugly, and the former powerful lichs and necromancers can sign contracts with simple rituals. But now, in addition to the complicated rituals, they also need to determine the specific time, which day the dark power is the strongest, so that they can use it to sign the contract, which also leads to the use of the bone list is declining more and more. It's just that for players, these things are still very good. In the past, Rhodes once remembered that there was a top class necromancer player, who inadvertently obtained a list of white bones, and then he used this list to sign contracts with many NPCs, and finally called for wind and rain in the Night Dragon Country for a while, and even once some players in the Night Dragon Country thought it as a banner against Rod, after all, at that time, the starlight led by Rhodes was already very strong, and the Night Dragon Kingdom was defeated in front of it. And those players are naturally defeated. Now that they have finally found an ally who is not far from Rhodes, the expectations of these players are naturally high. And that necromancer also lived up to expectations, climbing up the player list, with a lot of meaning to come from behind and challenge Rod.
It's just that this guy's luck is really not good. I don't know if it's because of the expansion of the power or what, in the end, this player actually paid attention to the sister of the dark dragon——— and the next result is easy to guess, his plan failed, and then the dark dragon who noticed the player's action specifically looked for him to fight once, and then destroyed the list of bones. Although the player can be resurrected, unfortunately, the rare items are gone forever. Since then, this player has also collapsed, becoming the laughing stock of many people, and finally he himself can't stand the ridicule and ridicule of others, and he deleted the number and left the game in a fit of anger.
While players of other classes get the bone list later. There is no way to use it, but as long as they hand over the list of bones in their hands, they can exchange them for quite powerful weapons and equipment from the hands of NPCs, and may even get their own titles and titles. And because of that, for the players. The white bone list can be said to be the most wonderful existence for his promotion and fortune. Because of this, the moment he saw the list of bones, even Rhodes was in a heartbeat——— he knew very well that he was going to give this thing to the Duchy of Moon, and what kind of reward he could get.
These lists of bones are very valuable, so it makes sense that the vultures would personally bring someone to retrieve them. And in terms of their importance, Rhodes had no doubt that the list of bones in his hand was likely to record the names of the moles within the entire Duchy of Moon. But this way. The question arises, how did Natasha get her hands on such a valuable thing? She is a complete lady, she doesn't even have the slightest combat power, and those who can have the white bone list must be strong people like lichs. How could it be taken away by Natasha? Could it be that this eldest lady still has any hidden secrets and identities that cause Rod to look away?
With such doubts. Rod also asked Natasha, but the answer he got made Rod cry and laugh a little.
In fact, it is a simple coincidence that Natasha was able to get this white bone name, when she followed everyone to inspect that day, when she rested at night, she accidentally witnessed such a contract ceremony, logically speaking, this time should not have been a contract ceremony, but because the white bone list is quite strict on the time requirements, it will take half a year to wait after this village, so at the risk of it, the necromancer still made a contract. And the object of his contract is none other than an army general in the area that Natasha inspects.
Natasha, on the other hand, happened to witness the ceremony, and then, of course, she was caught by the other party. And the envoy who brought them was naturally killed, and then the people led by Natasha were also imprisoned, originally at this time, if the necromancer was more diligent and killed Natasha directly, then there would be nothing.
But when he learned that Natasha was the daughter of the city lord of Eagle City, this necromancer suddenly had a mind to turn Natasha into his eyeliner, after all, with Natasha's identity, after she returned to Eagle City, she would definitely be able to get a lot of confidential information.
But in this way, the problem arises——— the list of bones can only be signed by one person at a time, that is, between that army general and Natasha, the necromancer can only choose one person. And in the end, the necromancer gave up the general and chose Natasha instead, perhaps in his opinion, that general has no way to provide him with further information due to identity restrictions, but Natasha is different, she is the daughter of the city lord of Eagle City, if he can sign her into the bone list, then as long as she washes away this memory, and then relies on the influence of the bone list, she will become her most powerful eyeliner!
The necromancer had already given up the feelings of ordinary people, and because of this, after he made this decision, he quickly abandoned the general, and even due to time constraints, he didn't give any explanation to the other party at all, and drove him away directly! And this move also made the general quite dissatisfied, Lao Tzu is desperately serving you, for what? Isn't it the eternal life you promised Lao Tzu? Otherwise, why would Lao Tzu risk being discovered here to provide you with information, do you really think that Archduke Lytia's punishment for traitors is not severe enough?
Think about it this way. The general immediately felt that his heart was extremely unbalanced, and in the end, he actually led his cronies to the door and demanded that the necromancer fulfill his promise. The two sides disagreed, and they fought. And in the midst of this chaos. Natasha took the opportunity to escape from it, and then she took the bone list with her, and then fled with Grundy in the direction of the Eagle City.
And the reason why Natasha took this list of bones was not because she knew what it was. Rather, it was because before the ritual began, the necromancer had threatened her ——— through this book, she would be completely her own. This frightened the girl, and she didn't know if those weird mages would turn themselves into something strange after they ran away, so she simply ran away with the book.........
Should I say that the necromancer was unlucky? Or is Natasha too lucky?
So Natasha doesn't know what this list of bones means, but the girl also knows it. There is no evidence, if this book is taken to the City of Eagles, it will at least be able to come up with some evidence for its own claims. But they didn't expect that after the two escaped, the general and the necromancer would soon come to an agreement. It's back together. If it weren't for the fact that this was on the land of the Duchy of Moon, under the protection of the dragon soul of light, I am afraid that these two little guys would have been recaptured by the necromancer before they met Rhodes.
But after hearing Natasha's story, Rod's mood did not get better, but got worse and worse.
And that's because of the necromancer.
He didn't want to make too much of a fuss before. Only then did he send the vulture and his men to arrest him, but now, the vulture and the others were killed by themselves. So what kind of moves will that necromancer do next? Is it in person? Or just wait and see, or just give up?
Rhodes didn't think that the necromancer would give up so easily, if this bone list really had a list of all the traitors of the Night Dragon Kingdom in the Duchy of Moon, then the necromancer would definitely fight to get this thing back even if it was exposed. Although Natasha is a powerless young lady, it is completely unclear how powerful the necromancer is. But listening to her tone, the vulture, the death knight, seemed to be quite respectful to the other party. In the world of the dead, where strength represents everything, this is already very telling.
Thinking of this, Rhodes felt more and more headaches, he didn't want to be chased by a necromancer who was also a master or even more powerful, he didn't have a trump card to deal with the other party, and Seven Love was standing beside him right now. But what's worse is that this eldest lady's level is linked to herself, and now she is only level twenty-eight, and the experience gained from killing vultures should be enough for him to upgrade one or two levels, but even so, there is still a gap between the seven loves and the necromancers above level forty, and it is impossible to kill the other party! Unless he lifts the seal and returns the Seven Lovers to their original state——— but this time the trouble comes, the Seven Lovers can only lift the seal one more time, if they are faced with this necromancer who came out of nowhere, then how can he deal with the ruins of the Custer Plateau?
"We have to move forward now."
Closing the wooden box in his hand, Rod's face became extremely serious, he glanced around, it is daytime, under the light of the dragon soul of light, the necromancer does not have the courage to come to the door, but it is difficult to say after dark, there are special sensing methods between undead creatures, I believe that the necromancer must have sensed the news that the vulture was killed by himself. Then next, he is likely to do it himself.
And what Rhodes did was to run to the Eagle City as fast as possible now, at least there, he didn't have to fight alone, as long as he could ask someone to go into the water, then in the Duchy of Moon, it would not be a problem to deal with a necromancer.
Thinking of this, Rhodes made a decision at once, he burned the carriage with fire, and even gave up the complicated rituals around him, anyway, it was just some clothes that needed to be replaced, and he did not need to take them out, and at the same time cremated the poor old coachman by the way. Then Rhodes also handed over the wooden box to Seven Love——— although the current Fire Elemental Lord did not have enough strength, but with her affinity for the elements, it would not be a problem to interfere with and cut off the other party's connection to the White Bone List. Of course, Rhodes is also well aware that this is nothing more than a stopgap measure. But for him, it is already very good to be able to have a stopgap solution at the moment.
After simply arranging all this, Rhodes and the others did not stop and continued to move forward. For Natasha and Grandi, Rhodes didn't tell them the truth of the matter, but only mentioned that the thing Natasha was holding was a very important magic item for the necromancer, and he would definitely catch up with him, just this statement was enough to make the girl's face pale with fright.
So, after a short rest, everyone quickly got up and set off for the next destination.
Hobbit Village.
