Episode 1 Golden Skull Chapter 6 Resurrection (Part 2)

.

Svengol didn't know what he was in now. He died, was resurrected, and became an evil undead creature. The reason was his fault. When these golden skeletons first appeared, they were indeed out of the way and did not interfere with the battle between his side and Arroyo. If he killed Arroyo and turned around and left without saying anything to destroy these skeletons, the situation might not have become like this. In this way, it was his own fault.

Although the skeleton in front of him had a human appearance, he was the skeleton that had been standing behind during the battle and killed him with the last flying knife. It was obviously the leader of these golden skeletons. What shocked Svengol the most was that this skeleton actually had wisdom that was no less than humans. Is this still a skeleton?

What should I do now? This one is a terrifying wisdom skeleton in front of me, and there are ten golden skeletons under my command. If it is placed in the human world, it will definitely cause a disaster. Logically speaking, I should kill him at all costs. But not to mention that people like me do not have the ability to kill him, now I have become an undead creature and he has resurrected. If he dies, then the four of them will disappear with them.

Undead creatures are evil, but are they all evil? They have become undead creatures. Are they all evil? At least the skeleton in front of him looks easy to talk to. If he doesn't want to become a lich, he will also take back the fire of his soul and let him die completely. Although these words sound more like a threat, Svengol knows that it is not, because for undead creatures, death is actually a relief. This means that he has no intention of controlling people like him.

A skeleton that is easy to talk about? It's ridiculous. Svengol's thoughts are all confused. What should I do? Kill this skeleton at all costs and everyone dies together? If this doesn't work, the four of them will definitely not be able to kill it. As a great magician, Svengol also has a certain understanding of dark magic. He just happened to know that the magic of immortal sacrifice was the sacrificed and resurrected lichs, their souls were in the hands of the caster. As long as the caster thought, it would be enough to make them so that they could be destroyed.

Go back and notify the Mercenary Guild? It doesn’t work. I am an immortal creature, and humans will not let them go.

Give up the identity of a lich and use complete death as a relief? Svengol shook his head. He is only fifty-six years old this year. He doesn't want to die so soon. Life is always precious, and he is reluctant to die so soon. And becoming a lich is not a bad thing. At least it seems that there is no difference between it and ordinary people on the surface. As long as you are not touched by someone's pulse, it is difficult to find that it is his immortal creature. Moreover, undead creatures can still live forever, be extremely powerful, invulnerable, and are much stronger than ordinary humans.

Svengol was confused, and suddenly his thoughts were interrupted. I saw Eileen Lunya holding his shoulders and crying helplessly: "What should I do? Teacher Goer."

Svengol sighed and stroked Erin's long hair pity. He was a terrible old man in his fifties and sixties, but he was reluctant to give up his life. How could Erin be so young and beautiful girl? There are also Xingyue brothers and sisters. Although they are over 200 years old, for the elves with a lifespan of two thousand years, two hundred years are just children.

"There are two ways, everyone decides for themselves. They are to give up their lives, go to the land of the dead, or live without caring about anything." The matter was too serious, and Svengol could not decide for themselves, so they could only let everyone choose. After saying this, Svengol sighed in his heart. No matter which path they choose, the fate of these people is inseparable from this skeleton.

Svengol and the other two had no choice but to accept their identity as a lich. After all, life is precious and no one wants to die. As a result, they have to accept it unless they are willing to die.

There are several small caves on the mountain walls of the small valley. Black dragons are undead creatures and are used to dark places. Svengol and others have just become lichs and still maintain many habits of life races. They like places with a top to cover their heads, so everyone sorted out several caves and lived in temporarily.

Suddenly, when a big change happened, Svengol and the other two were still confused and didn't know what to do, so they decided to rest here for a while before making plans.

A pile of campfires lit in front of the cave entrance, and Svengol and the other four sat around the campfire, with a blank expression on their faces. Although they had accepted this fact, they still couldn't feel relieved for a moment.

Svengol looked at Arroyo's staff in his hand, and felt extremely bitter in his heart. He received the task of sniping Arroyo in the Xiabai Empire. The sign of completion was to obtain Arroyo's staff. It was because of this staff that he and his people fell into this field. Now that the staff has been obtained, the task has been completed. However, Svengol was not happy at all.

Undead creatures, he never thought that one day he would become an undead creature. In the concept of the world, undead creatures are synonymous with evil. If others know their identity as undead creatures, they will be disgraced immediately and become the public enemy of all life races. Maybe they will also be chased by the Church of Light. The Church of Light never leaves any effort to hunt the Dark Mages and Undead creatures. Moreover, they also have special methods to sense the breath of undead creatures. If they encounter priests or paladins of the Church of Light, their identity will be easily exposed.

Fortunately, now it is in the territory of the Rivi Alliance. The Rivi Alliance believes in the god of nature and does not have a way to sense undead creatures. The Church of Light is completely pagan in the eyes of the Temple of Nature. The church's priests and paladins will not set foot on the land of the Rivi Alliance unless the Rivi Alliance falls under the Iron Cavalry of the Xiabai Empire. In other words, it is safe for the time being that they are in the territory of the Alliance.

In this way, Arroyo's staff was useless. Alas... Svengol sighed in his heart.

The same sigh still sounded in the hearts of Alan Lunya and Xingyue brothers. Everyone knew the situation at this moment. Xingyue brothers and sisters were fine. After all, they were both elves in their 200s. Although they were still children for elves, their long life also gave them rich life experience. Although they were not feeling well, their faces were not revealed, but Erin was different, with a look of fear on her face.

"Teacher Goer, can we still go back?" Erin asked Svengol in a low voice.

Svengol forced a smile and comforted him: "Of course." Of course he knew that the best way now is to find a place where no one is to live in seclusion and never return to the human world. Although there are no clergy from the Church of Light in the Rive Alliance, the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. Who knows that there are masters in the human world who can see through the identity of the undead creatures of these people. However, he is an old man in his fifties, and it doesn't matter if he lives in seclusion in this life. However, Erin is young and young, and there are still many beautiful things that have not been experienced, which is too cruel for her.

"But..." Erin wanted to speak but stopped, her face full of worry.

Svengol naturally knew what she was worried about and said comfortably: "Don't worry, you see, we are not changing at all now. As long as we don't touch our heart veins, no one will know that we are immortal creatures." Although Svengol was not sure in his heart, he still said with certainty.

Erin trusted Svengol very much and felt relieved after hearing this. After a long time, she suddenly asked again: "Teacher Goer, can we still change back to what we used to be?"

Svengol looked at Erin's expectant eyes and suddenly remembered a legend in his heart. According to legend, undead creatures are a race cursed by the gods. They are immortal, but their souls will be imprisoned in their bodies forever, whether rotten or decayed, forever. But the gods are kind. While cursing the undead creatures, they also give last hope. As long as they can obtain the redemption soul, the undead creatures can get rid of the eternal curse and return to the embrace of the gods.

The legend doesn't know whether it is true or not, but in this case, Svengol would rather believe that it is true. Thinking of this, he nodded slightly at Erin and the other two and said: "It is possible that if the soul of redemption can be found, maybe we can become human again."

"Soul of Redemption?" Hearing Svengol's words, Erin and Xingyue brothers and sisters' eyes lit up at the same time.

Svengol said this legend in detail. Suddenly, seeing a glimmer of hope, Erin and Xingyue brothers and sisters were all excited. Erin asked quickly: "Teacher Gore, where is the soul of redemption?"

Svengol shook his head: "I don't know very well. I heard that the Church of Light seems to have such a thing. The specific clues of the Mercenary Guild should have it."

Hearing the name of the Church of Light, Erin and Xingyue brothers and sisters had a little unnatural face. Now the four of them have become immortals. If they really go to the sphere of influence of the Church of Light, they may have "redemption" for the Church of Light before they find the soul of redemption.

But no matter what, Svengol and the other four felt a lot more relaxed. After all, they saw a glimmer of hope. Although it was very slim, at least they would not be confused.

"Prepare, we will leave here tomorrow." Even though he decided where he went, Svengol no longer hesitated.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning penetrated into the valley. In the cave, Svengol found the black dragon and expressed his purpose.

"Are you leaving here?"

"Yes, I hope you can agree." Svengol responded calmly. Although the Black Dragon had expressed his intention to control them, Svengol knew very well that the lives of his people were still in the hands of the Black Dragon. If he did not agree, Svengol and others would definitely not be able to leave.

"Can you bring us?" Black Dragon asked excitedly. When he was in the Grand Canyon of Colorado, Black Dragon had the urge to explore the unknown world outside, but his fear of the unknown world and his skeleton identity often stopped him. Now he has learned the technique of revitalizing skin and wearing human skin, which can completely conceal his identity. At the same time, with people like Svengol who are familiar with human society, if they are guided, it will be foolproof.

Svengol looked at the Black Dragon in embarrassment, and after a while, nodded helplessly. He was extremely reluctant to bring these terrible undead creatures into human society, but he did not dare to disagree. After all, the lives of these people are still in the hands of this skeleton. And if he wants to go deeper, even if he doesn't take them there, these skeletons can go there by themselves and bring them by their side. If they do anything that is harmful to the world, they can also stop them by themselves.

Thinking of this, Svengol felt relieved.

The black dragon's dead-snow eyes lit up a light of excitement. Human society, a world that was completely unfamiliar to him, was full of curiosity about everything that was unfamiliar to him.

It took another ten days to cover all the skeletons such as Hei Da. After a series of disguises, black hair has grown on the skeletons such as Black Dragon. Apart from the hollow eyes and a bit of lint expression, it seems that there is no difference from ordinary humans.

At the same time, the Black Dragon also found the bones of more than a dozen horses and resurrected them into skeleton horses to be used as tools for transportation.

Riding on the immortal war horses, a group of fifteen people rushed towards the nearest city.

The south of the Rivi Alliance was not calm. It was mountains and ridges, lush jungles, complex terrain, and also a place rich in ore. The rich products caused the rampant thieves here. The caravans that robbed and traveled were becoming increasingly powerful and had become a major evil of local chaos. The alliance had sent troops to encircle and suppress them countless times, but all returned in vain due to the complex terrain. Therefore, a slightly larger caravan would have to hire a large number of mercenaries to protect the traffic. Over time, it also led to the prosperity of the mercenary industry here.

After turning onto the official road, groups of mercenaries can be seen galloping on the official road from time to time. This road is the main transportation route to the largest city in the south.

The black dragon and his group of fifteen people were running wildly on the road. The undead war horse would not be tired. As long as the soul fire was still burning, it could run wildly at the fastest speed, so their group was very fast. In half a day, they had already crossed a distance of four or five hundred kilometers.

A huge caravan suddenly appeared in front of him, with a huge black-bottomed flag waving in the middle of the team in the wind. On the flag, a flame fox was dancing with his teeth and claws.

Svengol's expression moved and he cried out in his mouth: "Flame Fox!" Then he made a gesture to slow down our speed.

The black dragon hit the horse and posted it to Svengol's side and asked curiously: "What is the flame fox?"

Svengol had long been accustomed to the endless problems of black dragons, and without looking at him, he said directly: "The Flame Fox is a famous mercenary group in the south, with more than 6,000 people in the whole group. The regiment commander Fire Fox is a famous big swordsman-level warrior. His flame fighting spirit is amazingly powerful and his strength is chasing the sword saint level. The entire mercenary group has more than 50 magicians and more than 300 intermediate swordsmen, which is one of the top mercenary groups in the south."

Black Dragon nodded with clarity. The intermediate swordsman was the three swordsman who were cut into pieces by Black Dragon and others. Each of them had the strength to compete with Black Dragon and others. This mercenary group actually had more than 300, which was indeed powerful. So why slow down the speed? Black Dragon was about to continue asking, but Svengol continued to say as if he had expected his wishes:

"We slow down to indicate that there is no malice, otherwise it will be easy to cause misunderstandings and conflicts when approaching them directly like this. Star, show our banner." The last sentence was said to Star.

Xing took out a flag from his arms, hooked it on the bowstring and laid it up. A big broom was painted on the flag on the white background, gathering a ball of black things into a ball, as if it was swept into a pile of garbage. This is the flag of Svengol, the anti-gang mercenary group.

"Showing the flag shows your identity is a necessary etiquette when encountering other mercenaries on the way," Svengol explained.

When they heard the sound of horse hooves from Black Dragon and others, the Fire Fox's mercenaries had already reacted quickly. The mercenaries with the broken rear formed a formation and showed their weapons to stare at us vigilantly. When they slowed down, the mercenaries with the broken rear looked a little relaxed. Finally, the star showed the flag, and a figure with obvious leader waved his hand, and the mercenaries' weapons were put away one after another.

Heilong and others rushed to them at mid-speed. Svengol clenched his right hand in a fist and knocked his chest, saying loudly: "Sweep the gang!"

The warrior who looked like a leader also replied with the same etiquette, and then all the mercenaries who had broken the back shouted in unison: "Fire Fox!" The voice was neat and deafening, showing good qualities.

Black Dragon and his party passed by them. This was a huge caravan with more than 300 trucks, and more than a thousand mercenaries were guarding alone. It took Black Dragon and others more than ten minutes to get from the end of the team to the head of the team. Another mercenary in front of the team, who looked like a leader, also knocked on his chest and saluted, and then let out another deafening cry.

Heilong and others surpassed the caravan and quickly accelerated to leave.
