Chapter 12: The Dead Who Passed Away
"Roar...............!"
As life passed, the dead opened their eyes and let out a beastly roar. Their eyes began to dim like dusty glass beads, and the power of death swept through their bodies with lightning speed, giving them a new life.
"Very good, it seems that a qiēshun lì."
Looking at the orcs who had crawled up and had become the walking dead, Jenn nodded. This trip was really not in vain, not only did he clean up a brain eater, but he even got a few subordinates. It's useless, but it's always better than nothing.
As for the half-dark elf............
Jenn glanced at Werna, who was still unconscious, but said nothing, quickly turning and walking towards the crystal jungle in front of him. For him, the most important thing is the remuneration here. That dark elf mouse has a chance to study in the future, so don't bother with her for the time being.
Before walking to the Crystal Jungle, Jenn realized that this place was not a natural formation. Beneath the enclosed crystal jungle, an altar-like structure can be seen. And the brain eater was guarding the altar before, attacking Jenn and the others.
"That's right............"
Seeing this altar, Jenn nodded. The Brain Eater is a subspecies of monster that lives in the Abyss most of the time, and unless summoned out, Jenn can't figure out what Brain Eater would want to stay in the Dark Regions, a place where birds don't, and is forced to fall into a deep sleep due to lack of food. If it weren't for the death of those gray dwarves, I'm afraid this guy would have slept until the end of the world.
Now it looks like the brain-eater was clearly summoned to guard something.
The altar wasn't too high, and it didn't take long for Jenn and Enoa to make it up the stairs to the top. And when the two stepped on the top, a strange scene came into the eyes of the two.
I saw a white bone in a tattered robe sitting on a stone chair in the center of the altar. It held the arm of the chair with its left hand and clutched a book with a pitch-black cover in its right hand. Stone tables and various magical artifacts that have been damaged and broken by time can be seen all around. Judging from their broken Cheng Dù, in addition to what is already here, the others are probably the trophies of the Brain Eater.
"Looks like it was supposed to be a mage when it was alive........."
Walking in front of the white bones, Jenn narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the unlucky guy in front of him, but his eyes flashed with a little surprise. It's no wonder, after all, this skeleton is just too weird.
In general, the bones are white. However, the color of the skeleton's bones is very strange, the left half of its body is no different from ordinary white bone, but the right half of its body is completely crystal. At first glance, it looks like a lifelike human skeleton model made of crystal.
If you change those ignorant adventurers, I am afraid that you will be more or less vigilant at this time. But Jenn and Enoa didn't take it seriously at all. Whether it is Jenn, who has a wealth of knowledge, or Enoa, who is an undead creature, they can tell in a word that this unlucky person is dead and can no longer die, and the skeleton in front of him is just a waste.
So without the slightest hesitation, Jenn strode up to the skeleton, picked up the book in his hand and flipped through it. And on the first page that Jenn let go, a series of beautiful and somewhat unfamiliar fonts immediately met his eyes.
"The Year of Autumn Frost, December 1st ..............."
It's a lingua franca.
Seeing this, Jenn glanced at the skeleton. He had learned a lot in the library of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, and at a glance he recognized that the font recorded in the book in front of him was the standard lingua franca used by the humans of this world. In other words, if you don't leave ten, then this skeleton should be a human.
And the following records also prove Jenn's judgment.
Judging from this diary, the predecessor of this skeleton should be a person named "Langdon. Draco's nobility. There's not much to say about his story itself, it's similar to the background of the protagonists of the hard-pressed web novels that Jenn watched before he was reborn. At the beginning, there was a young and beautiful childhood sweetheart fiancée and a happy family, but later the family was turbulent, the fiancée was taken away by the bullhead, the family property was robbed, and the noble title was robbed, and it was not easy to escape under the escort of the retainers. Then it is the process of the protagonist of the online novel changing his life against the sky...............
What is it to learn magic in order to enhance strength.,During this period, I met my second spring.,Adventure everywhere to accumulate experience and upgrade to win allies together to take revenge......... And so on, according to the online text routine, in the end, the protagonist has revenge on everyone's happy life.
However, reality and ideals are often different.
The cousin who took the title of Langdon is not stupid, while Langdon went out to upgrade and planned to change his life, he also relied on his own strength to drill the camp and grasped the monstrous power. When Langdon came to settle the score with his allies, his cousin was already a man in the whole country.
So, of course, Langdon's revenge failed. His allies were also exterminated by the king. And Langdon himself was beaten to half-crippled by the legendary mage invited by his cousin, and almost returned to the west, if it weren't for the second spring desperately rescued, I'm afraid this unlucky protagonist would really be finished.
Eventually, Langdon fell into a necromancer, determined to turn himself into a lich and wipe out the country once and for all. However, the legendary mage had been hunting him down, forcing Langdon to find a quiet place to recuperate.
It seems that this is why he designed that camouflage mausoleum.
In fact, theoretically, with Langdon's magical prowess, it is not difficult to become a lich. It's just that our protagonist really has a lot of ideas, he doesn't want to become a normal lich, but wants to find a unique way to use crystals to neutralize his body and become a demigod lich. In this way, almost no one will be able to stand in the way of his revenge.
But as we all know, judging whether you are the protagonist or not is not based on whether you have adventures, but on whether you are lucky enough to be able to bet right every time............... It's a pity that the bet was lost.
So the next qiē is very simple, there are many choices in life, sometimes one wrong step is the end of the qiē, looking at the skeleton in front of you is the best proof.
"If you want to, you can't reach it."
After reading the diary in front of him, Jenn sighed. This Langdon too, with his magical strength, can succeed sooner or later if he calms down and takes his time. But his biggest problem is that he can't afford to wait, because his enemies are humans, and humans can live for a hundred years at most. Of course, Langdon himself could slowly resume his cultivation and then take revenge when his divine achievements were accomplished -- at that time, I am afraid that the great-great-grandchildren of his enemies would have been born.
So in order to rush for time, Langdon had to choose to gamble.
In a certain way, this can be regarded as the sorrow of mankind.
A novel that abuses the mainstream and is unfinished.
That's the only thing Jenn has to say about Langdon's diary, but at the end of the diary, Langdon's account intrigues Jenn.
“……… My gamble failed, death was coming to me, and that was my fate. I know my time is numbered, but if anyone can see what I have recorded, I hope you will help me fulfill my wishes......... In return, I will give you all the qiē I have..............."
"Whew............!!"
Just as Jenn finished reading this sentence, suddenly, a terrible scream suddenly burst out of the book, and then an arm formed by the condensation of black mist suddenly burst out from between the pages of the book and grabbed at Jenn!
"Humph!"
Seeing this arm, Jenn's face remained unchanged, only to see him snort coldly, and the next moment, his free left hand suddenly moved forward, and he grabbed the pitch-black arm with all his might. Then Jenn pulled upwards, and then a pitch-black figure was pulled out of the book!
It was a baby, or what it looked like. On the surface, it was similar to the refugee babies Jenn had seen on TV before, with thin arms and thin legs, a large head and a small body, and a malnourished appearance, and its whole body was wrapped in a black fog. Only those eyes were wide open, and they looked terrifying.
And at this moment, the baby's eyes widened and he looked at Jenn in disbelief.
"You, how could you ...............!?"
"Good idea, but it's a pity......... It's just a good idea..............."
Looking at the surprised expression of the baby in front of him, Jenn shook his head helplessly. Of course he knew what the guy was going to do, and in fact before that arm stretched out, Jenn knew there must be a ghost in the book. Just imagine, it's been hundreds of years, and even the robes worn by this skeleton have become tattered. Only this broken diary, which is not even a magic book, is still the same as new, and it is not tattered at all -- who would believe that there are no ghosts in it?
And the moment the other party stretched out his arm, Jenn knew what was going on, this Langdon transformation lich was indeed a failure, but he didn't really die, but hid his soul in this diary. Whoever finishes the diary, then his soul will appear, connecting with the soul of the other person in a contractual way.
And after being connected by the contract, the two souls can no longer be separated, and when the time comes, whether to manipulate that person as a puppet or directly swallow each other's souls, it depends on Langdon's thoughts.
I have to admit that this Langdon had a good idea, just like he planned to use crystal to make a demigod lich.
But unfortunately, as Jenn said, only ideas are good.
If you change someone else, I'm afraid you will let Langdon succeed. But the problem is that Jenn is a demon! This big 6 is a great contract, either with the help of divine power or magic power. Langdon is a necromancer, and it is definitely impossible to ask God to worship Buddha when he makes a contract, so the power of his contract naturally comes from the demons. And Jenn is the royal family of the demon clan, you use the power of the demon clan to imprison the demon king, isn't it tired?
"Please, let me go......... Leave me alone............"
At this moment, the baby was already trembling, his face was terrified, he was not stupid, the other party broke the power of his contract with a gesture, and directly imprisoned his soul. This is not something that anyone can do!
"My lord, I beg you, if you can spare my life, I will be loyal to you, and my treasures will ................"
However, before Langdon could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Jenn.
"Good idea."
"Huh?"
Faced with the doubts of the soul in front of him, Jenn smiled slightly, reached out and pushed down his glasses.
"I said you have a good idea, and you haven't forgotten to do ghosts at this time, but unfortunately, I don't need you to tell me anything............"
With that, Jenn looked up and looked ahead.
"Enoa, I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, master."
I don't know when, I saw that Enoa had quietly come behind Langdon, and after hearing Jenn's order, the girl just smiled lightly.
The next moment, her slender ten fingers pierced into the other party's head mercilessly.
