Chapter 5 Roland (5)

"High Priest?!" Say and Watson looked at each other, both of whom were surprised by the title of the leader of the caravan.

"High Priest..." Roland answered calmly without looking up; "You have recognized the wrong person, I am not a high priest."

"How could it be? Even if I didn't see your black appearance, I can still recognize you." Wubi turned around Roland with a smile, and ordered the men who followed him. "What are you doing here? Go and pack up the best tent and give the high priest a rest!!"

Seeing the caravan leader Dasheng, Sai, Watson and Linna were all confused. The person they rescued from the desert was the high priest?

Especially Lin Na, her doubts were even better than the other two.

"Maybe I am very similar to someone, but I am not the high priest you are talking about."

"This..." After hearing Roland's repeated denials, Ubi looked carefully again.

Indeed, although they look very similar, their temperament is completely different.

The Dark Night High Priest was like a flame. Even though he was the Dark Clan, he could still feel the enthusiasm hidden in his confidence. But the person in front of him was completely opposite. He was cold, as if he was silent as if he had no waves. Time seemed to have stopped on her, and there was an indescribable weirdness.

"Sorry, my confirmation was wrong." Whoopi had to retreat awkwardly.

Say couldn't help but be curious about the behavior of the caravan leader; "Who is that high priest? Does it look very similar to Roland?"

"As a businessman, you don't even know the High Priest of the Night. It's so strange." Ubi turned around and looked at Say, even more surprised that he had asked such a childish question.

"This... Actually, I have a little bit of money in my family. It was my first time going out for business. As for Mingsu, I encountered a civil war. As for the High Priest of the Dark Night, although I had heard of it, I had never seen him." Prince Sai made up a reason to fool Ubi, but he didn't expect that he really believed it.

"That's right, even Merry's merchants have seen the high priest, not many. Come, young man, sit down and let's have a good chat." Ubi saw that this young man had a good temperament, and must be of noble origin. Perhaps, it was the young master of a certain noble family that liked to make friends with powerful people was the nature of a merchant. He naturally would not miss this opportunity. At that moment, he grabbed Sai and started chatting.

"It turns out that you are from Lou Germany. No wonder you have to walk the Andanes Corridor... Lou De is closest to the East Continent, faster than taking a boat. But... this road is very dangerous."

"We have..." Say originally wanted to say that there were private soldiers escorting him, but the caravan leader obviously misunderstood what he meant.

"I know that one alone has surpassed the first-class mercenary in my caravan. Her skills are definitely not easy. You are very capable. Such a powerful warrior can be taken as a subordinate." Wubi's admiring eyes kept hanging on Roland, who was closed and resting. Although he was a businessman, he was also an adventurer who was young. He would not be unable to see the strong aura emitted by Roland. It was a sense of restraint that only a real strong man had; "Oh... I didn't expect that a little girl like this would also be a mercenary. The world is really chaotic. Not to mention the civil strife in Mingsu, I heard that the leader of Death has been very active recently and might make a comeback. Although I was still young when the undead invaded the Northern Continent forty years ago, I had experienced it. It was so terrible. If this was true, Lou De would suffer. It would be the first country to come into contact with the army of undead."

"No, the Church of Light will not sit idly by. They will help our country defeat the army of the undead." Say was a little angry. Although he knew that Ubi was telling the truth, he was unwilling to believe it. Lou De finally got rid of the shadow of forty years ago. If the undead really headed north again, how should the people in the country bear this terrible fact.

"It would be much easier if Manning was still there. After all, its strength is second only to the mercenary country Ningal, which is a pity..."

"Manning? Is it a country?" Lin Na heard of this term for the first time. In her memory, there was no such country in the Northern mainland.

"Hey... many young people nowadays don't know about this country. It was once the most powerful magic kingdom in the Northern Continent and the most beautiful country. It has the reputation of the northern "Huadu". Nowadays, legends about it can only be found in the mouths of history books and minstrels."

"Young Master... Why have I never heard of this Manning?" Linna looked at the always-learning prince Sai, but he frowned and refused to speak.

"Huadu...Via..." Unexpectedly, Roland, who was resting beside him, opened his eyes again when he heard the name.

"Yes, Huadu Via, the most beautiful city in the Northern Continent. Unfortunately, it had already destroyed its country three hundred years ago..." Before Ubi finished speaking, the mercenary in charge of keeping the watch started yelling loudly.

"Master Wubi, it's not good. We have met the undead - it's a very large number of undeads!!" Hearing the report, the mercenary captain leaned in Wubi's ear and told him about this very bad news.

"The Undead..." Ubi stood up, and with the light of fire he saw the white skeleton moving towards the large rock where the caravan was resting like a tide.

"Don't panic, unload the goods quickly!!" Ubi began to mobilize everyone to unload the goods, and then gathered the camels together. A circle was formed with a bonfire as the center, and the mercenaries were guarding the camels. As long as they could last until dawn, they would be safe.

"Your Highness, let's go to the crowd, it's safer there." Watson pointed to the place where merchants gathered. So far, there was no good way to stop the undead's attack, at least in places with a large population, which could minimize the mortality rate.

Everyone was nervously watching the skeleton army getting closer and closer. Three guys in black cloaks mixed among the skeletons. They were the commanders of the undead.

"It's impossible to be wrong, it's the magic fluctuation of the key to the earth." Lich Paganil used magical perception to detect that the key to the earth they were pursuing was in the group of caravans in front.

"Be careful, how could ordinary merchants go to the Gate of the Underworld in the center of the sand sea? According to the Lich King Samad, the Key of the Earth was stolen from the Temple of Othops by several thieves. They should have died when the Gate of the Underworld is opened. It is absolutely impossible to run so far with the Gate of the Earth. Maybe... it is the Church of Light, aren't they also looking for its whereabouts?" The necromancer Kamu was more cautious than Pag, and he was worried about meeting the Church of Light. This time, Samad repeatedly emphasized that the main purpose was to find the Key of the Earth. The Church of Light should not be allowed to seize the opportunity, and the Gate of the Underworld should not be closed again.

Among all the teams looking for, they are the only one who is lucky and meets it. If they can successfully retrieve the key to the earth, their status in the territory of death will be improved accordingly.

"If it is really the Church of Light, then it will be troublesome." Lich Gona also expressed caution.

"Beware of the life priests. Their purified light is extremely lethal to the undead even at night. There are also the sacrificial knights. Their 'sacrificial' skills are also very troublesome... Let's do this, Kamu, you are responsible for commanding the undead attack, Gona and I are responsible for casting the 'District' and trying to cover the entire caravan before they release the purified light. The Lich King has instructed that the army is about to set off and humans cannot discover our traces. Even if there are no illuminators among the merchants, they cannot let them go." Pag raised the skeleton staff in his hand, and began to chant the magic of the realm of the death environment with a hoarse voice.

Although the skeleton is the lowest level of the undead, it is more agile than a zombie, and has three resurrection skills. The attack power in the death environment will be increased. Even if the Church of Light does not have enough numbers in the realm of death and at night, it is impossible to defeat so many undeads.

After his companions began to prepare magic, the undead mage Kamu commanded the army of skeletons to approach the caravan curled up on the rocks.

"Come here..."

People stared nervously at the necromancer standing among the skeletons. Obviously, he still retained the appearance of most humans in order to become a lich, but even so, the shrinking muscles still scared the merchants.

When he sensed that the aura of the Earth Key was suddenly interrupted, Kamu was obviously surprised. He could actually hide the death aura of the Earth Key. It was possible for ordinary people to have such skills.

The realm of death in Pug has not yet been completed, so I will first look at what the person who holds the key to the earth is sacred.

With the idea of ​​spying on the enemy's strength, Kamu did not immediately launch an attack as planned, but instead used the audio-visual expansion technique to ask who was holding the head of the ancient priest who was enough to cause a fight.

"No matter who among you picks up the key to the earth, as long as you hand it over, we will let you go, otherwise... you will all join the army of the undead under my command."

"The Key to the Earth? We... we don't have this thing!" Wubi cried with a sad face. He was just a slave smuggling merchant and didn't know what the "Key to the Earth" was.

"Lie! I just felt the residual death energy of the key to the earth. Among you, there must be someone who takes that human head skeleton and handed it over!"

"Ah—" Lin Na exclaimed in surprise.

Human Head... Isn't there a human head on Roland? Is it the key to the earth these undead mages are looking for?

"Little girl, do you know where it is?" Kamu, who was sensitive to hearing Linna's scream, knew that this human woman must have the message he wanted.

"No, I don't know." Lin Na shook her head in horror. She didn't know how to choose. Roland warned that she should not mention her identity. But if she did not tell where the key to the earth was, the necromancer would take everyone's lives, which was really a dilemma.

Is it on that boy? He does not have the power of light from the light church, so he should not be a member of the church.

Although Lin Na did not dare to say Roland, her eyes subconsciously looked at Roland, which had exposed the holder of his search for the key to the earth for the necromancer.

Seeing that the Key of the Earth was actually held by such a thin human, Kamu relaxed his vigilance. He did not feel the fluctuations of magic in the other party, which means that this is a person who cannot use magic. This thin figure is even more unlikely to be a warrior. If a thief is a bit similar.

The skeleton staff pointed directly at Roland, who was still resting in such a dangerous environment. She was far away from the bonfire and was not in the circle surrounded by the camels.

After receiving the order, more than a dozen skeletons surrounded Roland. Kamuman thought that as long as he sent a few skeletons at will, the thin human being sitting on the stone would be afraid to present the key to the earth.

"Little devil, give me the key to the earth."

"Go away."

"You're tired of living!!" Kamu didn't expect that this human who was not afraid of death would dare to speak loudly. Seeing that the death field behind him had been completed, he decided to let this little devil try the feeling of suffocating in the breath of death.

Under the control of the lich, the realm of death began to advance towards the large rock where the merchants were, and soon enveloped Roland, located in the forefront.

"Haha... how it tastes so bad. Little kid, this is the end of you who are ungrateful. If you beg for mercy now, I might be kind and let you go a long way."

"Shut up..." Roland, shrouded in death, suddenly fell to the ground, covering her chest tightly, with a painful and depressed expression.

"I'm still stubborn at this point, I really don't know how to live or die!" Kamu's face changed drastically after Roland said this. Since he became a necromancer, no human has dared to speak to him like this. How could his arrogant nature allow him to be despised by a small human being.

"Kill him!!"

As soon as the skeletons raised the sharp blade in their hands, a afterimage flashed, and all the skeletons that were attacking Roland were scattered into broken bones on the ground.

"I don't know how to live or die, even if you, a ninth-level necromancer, dare to be presumptuous in front of me!!"

Amid everyone's amazing eyes, a monster with only a head emerged from Roland's cloak.

"You idiot." Roland, who was floating in the air, stared fiercely at the head of the man who had already stood up; "Didn't I repeatedly explain not to be with humans? Look at the good things you did, and now I have to trouble me to deal with you after you!!"

"I don't want this, but..."

"Shut up, I'll teach you a lesson later." The rude interrupted Roland's defense, and the head of the undead turned to the dull undead mage.

"Soul body separation!!"

"Ah~~~~~" Kamu's roar in pain made the merchant cover his ears, and it was unbelievable that there was a more terrifying wail in the world than this.

"These merchants, and there are two lichs there, cannot be spared. Without this death field, I would not have recovered from the impact of the life barrier in such a short time. Well... I would be a little more kind and use the impact of death. Its pain is much smaller than the separation of the soul body."

"No, Rafa, the innocent of these merchants. Don't kill them!!" Roland couldn't help but ask, and reached out to hug the head floating in the air.

Rafa, who was using the spell, did not expect that Roland would do such a move. The "death shock" that he originally targeted the merchant was deviated from the direction. But even so, a magic ripples that were hard to see in flesh were still shot out from his mouth, like ripples caused by dew drops falling on the water surface, spreading around.

"ah--"

When they came into contact with this invisible and tangible magic impact, whether it was the skeleton, Sha Luo or the already dull merchants, they all fell to the ground one by one. There was no scar on their bodies, but their souls were shattered under the impact of death ripples.

"The King of Necromancer..." Lich Gona said just one sentence, and fell on the soft sand like his skeleton. Even a Lich could not avoid this heavy blow against the soul.
