"What, is there a problem?"
Ron asked back.
Nicole was absent-minded for a while, and then said, "I know what you're thinking... You must be thinking in your heart that you have obtained my father's inheritance, and then you have the Scepter of Calamity, and if you appear as the successor, you can command hundreds of millions of people. Undead!"
"Is not it?"
Ron blushed, as if he had seen through her mind. In fact, that was what he thought in his heart.
"Actually, you are right to think so. The Scourge Scepter is the symbol of the Scourge. If you own it, you will own the entire Scourge, commanding hundreds of millions of undead... But..." Nicole sighed, looking at Ron with some regret, "If It is still possible that you appeared not long after my father fell, but now a hundred thousand years have passed... It's too late, maybe... Those undead souls have already forgotten my father... "
"yes?"
Ron's eyes dimmed, and the glimmer of hope that had just risen in his heart was also shattered. A hundred thousand years had passed, and the undead probably had almost forgotten about Hermes. Suddenly, someone took out a It is strange to say that the weapon requires everyone to obey his orders.
Even Lord Noah, whom Ron respects, if someone holds Noah's sword and asks Ron to obey his orders a hundred thousand years later, Ron will have no other choice but to treat him as a fool.
Nicole glanced at Ron, and said hesitantly, "Actually, at present, having the Scepter of Scourge in your hands is not necessarily a good thing. Do you remember the last time I was hunted down in the Shenandoah Continent? ?"
"It's the undead named Jibin, I remember!" Ron said after a moment of pondering. He remembered that Nicole was hunted down by a group of undead in the Shenandoah Continent, and their purpose was the Scepter of Disaster.
"Yes!" Nicole nodded, "They are from the Plague Legion!"
"Plague Legion?"
Ron froze for a moment, "What is that?"
"It is also a main battle legion of the undead... To be precise... His legion leader is Gibin's father, the dread demon king Saruman, who was my father's subordinate a hundred thousand years ago, and the Plague Legion is also the Scourge Legion After my father disappeared, the Plague Legion broke away from the Scourge Legion and became a part of it!"
Nicole narrated some grievances and grievances about the undead in the main plane.
"This guy named Saruman is very powerful, at least not inferior to my father. After my father disappeared, he came up with the idea of the Scourge Scepter. He planned to use the Scourge Scepter as a token to order hundreds of millions of undead souls to annex the entire world. Scourge Legion!"
"I see!"
Ron listened carefully, he finally understood, and sighed, "It seems...it's not safe for me to hold this scepter of disaster, I'm afraid that once I get to the main plane, if he knows that I have this thing, I'm afraid He just killed me and snatched the Scepter of Calamity!"
Ron thought to himself, how big is the gap in strength between himself and the dreaded demon king Saruman? No matter how weak the opponent is, what about a Plague Legion, and you are alone on the main plane, this comparison of strength...
For a while, Ron was in a state of confusion, thinking that this mission would not be so easy to complete, otherwise it would be fine for the Lich King to just give his power to anyone who inherits it.
"That's right, it's just that one side wants to snatch the Scepter of Calamity. In fact, for you, the other side is more dangerous..."
Nicole said.
"What? And?"
Ron was shocked. He felt that he had more than one enemy in the main plane of the undead. It's really strange that he was wandering around the main plane of the undead with the scepter of natural disasters, and he was slaughtered every minute.
"The other side is the Calamity God Emperor Fismer. After my father disappeared, this guy named Fismer took over most of the power of the Scourge Legion and called himself the Calamity God Emperor. However, he has not been able to take out the Scourge Scepter. , So, his inheritance is a bit... problem, many undead don't like him, of course, the strength of this Scourge Legion is far inferior to the original Scourge Legion... "
"This is what Klein said about the Scourge!"
Ron pondered for a while and said, he heard from Klein that there is still a Scourge Legion on the main plane of the undead, but this Scourge Legion is not worthy of his allegiance. As for the reason, Klein did not say.
"Of course, these two forces are not the only ones who want to snatch the Scepter of Calamity. Other forces also want to get the Scepter of Calamity, support the spokesperson, and then control the entire undead clan. angels...they all want this thing!"
Nicole took a deep breath and said, for the past 100,000 years, she has worked so hard to protect the scepter of natural disasters, not to mention hiding, but also to find the whereabouts of her father, the Lich King. If the Lich King hadn't left her hundreds of thousands of With the savings of ten thousand black crystal coins, I bought a lot of life-saving gadgets, and now I am afraid that she will not be able to live, her strength is too low.
After hearing Nicole's talk about the situation on the main plane of the undead, even Ron felt troubled. It seemed that he could save his life during his trip to the main plane. No need to even think about it.
"Is there any good way?"
Ron frowned and asked, he was at a loss for the current situation, it was not something he could solve.
"I don't know... Father's order is to hand over the Scepter of Scourge to the true successor... And I have fulfilled my mission!"
Nicole shook her head, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes, she made it very clear that her mission had been completed, and the rest was for Ron, the heir.
"The main plane of the undead, I haven't been back for a long time, besides, with my strength... I'm afraid I can't help you much!" Nicole said in a low voice.
Ron stood up and paced up and down the hall of the dead irritably, his brows were tightly frowned and his face was solemn.
At this moment, Ron stopped in his tracks, "That... the Scourge Scepter... can I have a look?"
"Can!"
Nicole was not surprised. She raised her head, took out a delicate necklace from her neck, put her hands on the necklace, and whispered a spell.
After a while, with a bang, the space lock on the necklace was unlocked. Nicole solemnly took out something and handed it to Ron with both hands.
"Is this the Scepter of Calamity?"
In the hall of the dead, Ron quietly stroked a bone staff that was as clean as white jade in his hand, and asked with a sigh.
The Scourge Scepter in Ron's hand is a bone staff with a strange shape and a crystal clear white body. It is about 1.34 meters long. The body of the staff is very smooth. It is much heavier than a fine steel sword. On the top of the bone stick is a huge skull with hollow eye sockets and sharp teeth, which looks very hideous. Below the huge skull is a row of smaller skeletons. There are eight in total, facing eight directions: east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, and there are strings of beads hanging from the jaws of the skeletons in these eight directions. Small skulls, Ron counted them carefully, there were exactly thirteen beads in each string.
"Thirteen" is an unlucky number in people's current concept. It represents death, and this meaning is liked by the dead.
"Yes, this is the Scepter of Calamity!"
Nicole replied with a nod. She hesitated and whispered, "It's yours now!"
"Can I use it now?"
Ron loves the Scourge Scepter very much. This weapon gives him a different feeling. It is a feeling of blood connection. When Ron holds it in his hand, he can clearly feel the Scourge Scepter emanating from it. Joy, like a close comrade-in-arms whom I haven't seen for a long time.
"Of course, this is your right!"
Nicole shrugged her shoulders, and then reminded in a low voice, "But please pay attention, its power... can increase your strength by at least 30%, I'm afraid you will ruin this place!"
"I have my own score!"
Ron nodded, and he chanted a few incantations softly.
In an instant, the entire hall of the dead fell silent, and a trace of strange and terrifying aura overflowed and spread in all directions.
The sun in the sky seemed to have lost its light, falling like a morning star, and the earth fell into boundless darkness.
"What's wrong… "
"what happened?"
"Why is it getting dark..."
"It's terrible... suffocating power!"
The originally sunny weather suddenly turned dark, but it was not completely dark, but a deadly, desolate smell. People in the dark city became confused, and panic continued to spread.
"What's going on here?" Vivienne, who was discussing with Elder Homelin, stood up in a gaffe, and said in surprise, "What a powerful breath of death!"
"It came from Ron's room!" Homelin said solemnly, "Sacred Weapon, I can feel the breath of Divine Equipment!"
"Go... have a look!"
Homelin and Vivian exchanged glances, and ran towards the Hall of the Dead at the same time.
"cluck-"
In the Hall of the Dead, Ron held the huge skull at the top of the Scourge Scepter as if it was alive. The two empty eye sockets emitted a strange blue light, while the small skull turned in eight directions downward like a spinning top. , driving eight strings of thirteen beads to rotate together, making a crisp sound like bone knocking.
At this moment, Ron's body has risen into the air, like a demon god descending from the sky, with a "whoosh" sound, as the divine staff waved, a strange black hair flew out of his hand, crossed the gate of the hall of the dead, and passed through the large terrace , and directly blasted on a hill more than 30 miles outside the dark city.
"Boom—" There was a sound, the ground shook, and the hall of the dead far away in the dark city also felt a strong shock.
"So exaggerated?"
Ron was dumbfounded in astonishment. He obviously didn't use much power, but he caused such huge damage. Nicole said that the artifact has the effect of increasing power, so he was right.
"You still don't know how to control the power of the Scourge Scepter. If this artifact is in the hands of my father, its power will only be greater!"
Nicole said proudly.
