There are about five legendary creatures living in the Ash Forest and surrounding areas.
The Snow Elephant King in the northernmost part of the Desolate Mountains, the Extreme Cold Tyrant in Dragon Roar Town, the Skeleton Devourer in Tranquility Swamp, the Shadow Demon King, and the Death Knight Grat.
The first three have fixed territories, but the last two do not. The Shadow Demon also has a general area of activity, while the Death Knight simply doesn't have a clear area of activity, and just wanders around aimlessly in the Ash Forest.
More than one adventurer has had close contact with him. Although this death knight is an undead, he is not as violent and vicious as ordinary undead. He just holds his head and rides a skeleton horse with only the skeleton left. I mutter philosophical questions like "Who am I" all day long.
However, meeting him is definitely not a pleasant experience, because he will pester everyone he meets with such dizzying questions. who I am? Where do I come from? Where am I going? What is life? What is true success? What is the value of human beings? Etc., etc…
His question is not painful at all, but it is one that almost no one can answer. In particular, he is surrounded by a strong aura of death. Ordinary people will be frightened just by being touched by the aura. Even those brave adventurers will be frightened and trembled if they stay in the aura of death for a long time. In this case, Who else has enough energy to think about these questions
So the final result is probably that these unlucky people finally collapsed under the double blow of the spirit and the body, and each of them fainted on the ground with foam at the mouth. Many of them would even lose part of their memory, and some would even leave sequelae. , I go crazy when I hear someone asking similar questions.
Of course, there are some who are bold and not afraid of death. When asked, they get angry and draw swords. The result is self-evident - the death knight does not like to use force to solve problems, but it does not mean that he cannot use force to solve problems. And when it comes to force, there are definitely not many people in the world who can be stronger than him, at least in the entire main plane.
Sui Xiong recalled this information and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
This death knight is really an interesting person!
He flew back and forth over the Ash Forest, looking for the lonely figure wandering around. I don't know if it was due to bad luck, but I searched for almost half a month before I found the death knight.
It was a dark night, with no moon or stars, and heavy snowfall. Sui Xiong noticed that a snowdrift suddenly shook and fell apart. A skeleton horse came out of it, with a knight wearing worn armor riding on the horse.
The knight's neck was empty, but he was holding a round object in his left hand. He looked closely and saw that it was a helmet. If he looked carefully, he saw that there was a skull inside the helmet.
"Could this guy be a large skeleton soldier?"
Sui Xiong murmured curiously, slowly shrinking in size until he was about the same size as a person, and then landed towards the ground.
Of course the death knight also noticed him and looked up at the sky.
It's strange to say that he clearly has no head, but when he turns around and puffs out his chest, Sui Xiong can clearly feel that he is looking up at him, which is really weird.
"Hello, I am Void Mask who lives nearby." Sui Xiong flew in front of him and introduced himself with a smile, "I was busy some time ago and never had time to say hello to the neighbors. Now I am finally free. Of course. Pay a visit—Speaking of Death Knight, you live in a really remote place! I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”
The death knight was silent for a moment and asked: "Who am I?"
"I'm here to say hello to you, not to discuss philosophical issues?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm your neighbor."
"who I am?"
"Brother, you're not going to have a brain problem, are you? Why are you just saying these two sentences over and over again?"
“Why do people think?”
"... I just happened to pass by by chance. I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth yet. Why don't we wait for me to wash my face and brush my teeth and let's go have a drink and a barbecue together. How about we discuss these issues when we're full?" Sui Xiong accompanied him. He said with a smile, "Isn't it nice to have a full meal, lie next to a warm bonfire, and discuss some philosophical issues as a lullaby?"
"Why eat? Why discuss these issues when we are full of wine and food? Why sleep?"
Sui Xiong didn't dare to answer, he didn't want to be entangled with this crazy guy!
"...Well, it's getting late today, and I still have a business to discuss." He said, "Well, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to chat with you after I finish the business."
After saying that, he jumped up and flew into the sky. But he didn't expect that the death knight's right hand suddenly stretched out and shook his hand towards the void.
A black light spread out from the hands that were already skeletal, binding Sui Xiong tightly before he could escape, and tightly connecting them together.
"Why are you avoiding it? You're obviously not busy."
The lie was exposed in person, and even the Jellyfish God, who was so thick-skinned as to be able to withstand a giant siege crossbow, couldn't help but blush. He giggled twice and had no choice but to sit in the air and chat with the death knight.
Chatting with a death knight is definitely not an interesting experience. This undead's way of thinking is quite dull and he can hardly think of anything valuable. And he is always preoccupied with some meaningless questions - anyway, from Sui Xiong's point of view, questions such as "Who am I", "Where do I come from", "Where do I go" are definitely a pain in the ass. Just need to think. What is the use of normal people pondering this
However, the Death Knight cares about these issues very much. He has always been entangled in these issues. Even if Sui Xiong deliberately changes the topic, he will return to these issues soon.
Sui Xiong also used methods such as "Come from where you are, go to where you are going". However, he is not a monk after all. He cannot explain in detail what "where you come from" and "where you go" are. And the philosophies he learned in college The knowledge has been returned to the teacher long ago, without even a trace left.
Well, maybe there were no traces in the first place. He seemed to have failed to pass the exam at all in the philosophy subject. Later, the teacher was so merciful that he saw that the average score of the class was close to 20. In desperation, as long as he was willing to come to class honestly. All of them were given a passing grade, so he was allowed to muddle through...
This conversation with the Death Knight really broke his mind. In particular, this tin can's personality is terrifyingly stubborn. If he doesn't get the answer, he will insist on it, even if Sui Xiong pretends to be dead, it will be useless.
Sui Xiong was pestered by him for three or four days. Finally, he couldn't hold it any longer. He swung his tentacles and pulled out a big tree next to him. He knocked him to the ground with a stick and crushed the big tree and a lot of ice and snow under him. On him, and then flew away in a hurry before he could struggle out.
Of course, these attacks are nothing to the death knight, but this legendary undead is not known for his strength. By the time he climbed out of the pile of things, Sui Xiong was already far away.
The huge jellyfish was speeding in the sky, muttering secretly as it flew: "It's true that mental patients have broad ideas, and mentally retarded children have so much fun. What on earth is this guy thinking! I will stay away from him in the future!"
He hurried back to the settlement, made a big wooden sign with Ping Ping Pong, and put it up at the door.
A line of big words on the wooden sign: Psychopaths, destructors, and death knights are prohibited from entering!
After doing all this, Sui Xiong took a long breath and returned to the amusement park.
He planned to resume work now and try to open the amusement park next spring, but he always felt that he had forgotten something important.
"What is it?" The giant jellyfish rubbed the part of its head that it didn't know if it should be counted as its head with its tentacles, and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he finally remembered what he had overlooked.
Among the neighbors in Ash Forest, there is one he has never visited!
Although the neighbor probably wouldn't welcome his visit, he had been to all the other houses, but this one was the only one he didn't go to. Wouldn't it mean that his brother Xiong was not polite and did not treat others favorably
Sui Xiong was a do-it-yourself person, so he immediately prepared a "giant gift", then created an incarnation, cast a spell to travel through the space barrier in the main plane, and arrived at the destination with the gift.
It was a hidden valley in the shadow realm. There was a mess of palace ruins in the valley. Inside the ruins, a red, black, white and green colored figure was squirming violently. It was struggling hard, trying to remove those things in its body that were related to "death" and "death". The power of "shadow" conflict is eliminated.
But judging by the mix of colors, its efforts had little effect.
"Hello! Brother Shadow Demon! How are you doing?" Sui Xiong flew over very familiarly, took out his gift, and carefully placed it near it, "Brother, I have been doing well recently and have a little savings. Seeing you in such a miserable state, I sympathize with you!"
"So, I brought you a gift, I believe you will like it!"
After saying that, he waved his tentacles, and the tightly wrapped gift suddenly opened, while he himself flashed and returned to the main plane as if running for his life.
The gift was originally a tightly sealed box. Now that the box was opened, there was a solid phonological stone inside. The moment the binding circle disappeared, the power of the phonological stone began to act, releasing the sounds that had been stored in it.
Just listen to a cheerful voice singing loudly: "... Sing and dance with grandpa and you will never grow old..."
The Shadow Demon roared angrily and kicked the sound stone far away. Unexpectedly, the mechanism inside was triggered. A portal quickly opened, and then a death knight riding a skeleton horse walked out slowly. Walked out of the portal.
"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?" He looked at the Shadow Demon and asked blankly.
The Shadow Demon was stunned for a moment, and immediately recognized the other party's identity from the familiar appearance and even more familiar lines.
Isn't this the same Chaoji gossip who forced him to move his family from the Green Mist Forest to the Shadow Realm
Then it finally let out a desperate scream.
"Why do I meet you here!"
