"Chi-"
As if hot steel was thrown into the water, the sound of scorching flesh sounded immediately—Alpha's body trembled violently, his hands wanted to push Roddy, but he couldn't use his strength at all because of the severe pain, and his big mouth was even biting. I can't bite it down, and I can't scream!
The light instantly burned his mouth completely like a flame, his tongue was directly burned, and even his teeth fell off cracklingly. The pain that made Alpha go crazy instantly invaded his head, making him twitch crazily …
Undead shouldn't feel pain, but obviously he is fundamentally different from ordinary undead.
Regardless of nausea, Rody clenched his hands into fists and twisted fiercely in the opponent's mouth several times. Because he was wearing the gloves in the hunter suit, he was not afraid that Alpha would bite him at all...but then he discovered that The guy in front of me has completely lost consciousness after ten seconds, and the other person's whole body is weak and he fell back, his head looks like it has been blasted by gunpowder, his face has been completely deformed, and he can't see the original appearance at all. .
Rody, who was full of nervousness, pulled out his left hand, and the light on the ring immediately filled the entire bedroom again. Only then did he realize that some black smoke was slowly floating from Alpha's head, and his body, which was no different from a human, It was gradually developing in the direction of a "mummy"—he wasn't interested in taking a closer look at it, so Rody immediately swung his knife and slashed at him.
"puff!"
The scimitar slashed across Alpha's neck, and the scorched head was cut off in an instant, but then Roddy found that he didn't see any blood splashing from the butler's neck, until his head "gurgling" rolled to the ground. After standing aside, Rody was completely relieved and heaved a sigh of relief.
Stretching out his hand to touch the opponent's corpse, Rody found a few parchment-like things and held them in his hands. Knowing that he had no time to look at them at this time, he stuffed them into his pocket and held his breath, carefully listening to the movement around him.
The battle that just happened was not too loud, and it ended in less than three minutes from the beginning to the end, but Rody did not guarantee that no one in the entire Duke's mansion heard the voice just now.
The scimitar was inserted into the back, and he picked up the dagger on the ground casually. Rody turned his eyes to the old Duke Angmar, and found that the other's eyes seemed to be still looking at him dully. Became Lei Feng..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor. He knew that he had no time to clean up the scene, so he immediately turned off the light of the ring. After thinking for a while, he reached out and lifted the butler's head, turned around and ran towards the window , disappeared into this bedroom in almost three seconds.
The atmosphere of the fierce fighting a moment ago became quiet in an instant, as if nothing had happened before. The candlelight in the bedroom disappeared, and only the faint moonlight on the balcony could barely reflect the bookcase that was knocked down by Roddy's back. There was a slight smell of blood in the air, but it didn't have the strong smell that was unique to fresh blood. Instead, there was a faint smell that only rotted for a long time.
The headless body fell right beside the old prince's bed, and everything was quiet.
Footsteps outside the door approached, followed by regular knocks on the door—naturally, no one here would respond.
There was a knock on the door twice, and the maid outside the door seemed to have noticed something, and reached out to turn the handle of the door. With a "click", the heavy door was slowly pushed open in front of her, and she walked into the living room, and she came into view What is there is the fireplace and the armchairs quietly placed there after the fire is gradually extinguished.
"Alfa Butler?"
There was no response from inside.
Continuing to walk forward, she squinted her eyes, trying to see what was inside the opened bedroom door, but unexpectedly, there was a slightly unfamiliar voice in front of her——
"Julie, Steward Alpha and I still have something to say, you go out first."
The slightly aged voice was very flat, but there was some indescribable joy in it.
The maid whose name was called frowned, and after thinking for two seconds, she suddenly understood who the voice belonged to—she took a breath, and immediately covered her mouth with her hands, trying to say something, but heard The voice that I haven't heard for a long time continued to come from the bedroom in front: "What? Don't you believe me?"
"Old...Master!"
This maid is not young, and has served the Duke of Angmar in this mansion for more than 20 years, so she has deep feelings for the lord—she was so excited that she wanted to say something, and she stepped out But she stopped suddenly. Thinking of the words she heard just now, she realized that she did not have permission to enter, and immediately whispered: "I'm going out now..."
"Give me something to eat in an hour, Julie, you always know my appetite."
Hearing the once-familiar voice, the maid immediately lowered her head in response, turned around and hurried out of the room, waking up the group of sleeping chefs with excitement.
In the bedroom, the old man sitting in front of the window doesn't seem to be much different from just now. His posture has not changed, and his hands are still casually and naturally placed on the quilt in front of him. The only difference is that he is slightly squinting at this time. raised eyes.
The originally cloudy and ashen color in the pupils disappeared, and now the old man's eyes only looked abnormally deep in the darkness. He fluttered his nostrils lightly, smelling the rancid smell in the air, but he laughed out loud. .
“…drink more water, exercise…”
"Heh, interesting kid."
The old man who had lived as a "living dead" for five years slowly showed a smile that others could not understand.
*****
Rody, who rushed out of the Duke's mansion, was not feeling well at this time.
Three ins and three outs, and this time there was an accident. Even though Rody had all kinds of preparations, he never expected to meet a very high-level undead—it's because this guy only had a high basic level and didn't get an advanced job. Otherwise, I'm afraid I really can't even survive the two moves.
When he ran out of the window, he was almost discovered by the patrol, because the wound on his shoulder made him unable to use his strength. He should have easily grabbed the eaves of the third floor and almost killed him a few times. Gritting his teeth and shaking out of the Duke's mansion, he tore off the cloth strips and bandaged the wound briefly, and then returned to the second floor of the "Pig's Head Bar" as quickly as possible.
Sitting on the wooden bed, Rody felt the pain from the wound on his shoulder getting stronger, and the kick that Alpha kicked in his chest was quite uncomfortable. Although it was not life-threatening, it would definitely have a lot of impact on his combat effectiveness.
He looked at his blood gauge with only 218 points of life left, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't click the "upgrade" button.
"It can last for a while..."
After treating the wound covered in cold sweat, he then took out the letter found from Alpha by the light of the candle, and read it while wiping off his sweat.
There are four sheets of paper in total, the first three sheets are the statistics of Efta territory’s income, expenditure, and output, and the last sheet is a half-written secret letter. The language on it is Bullinga, but the content is bullshit. It doesn't make sense, it must have used some kind of encryption method - in the previous "cracking soil", similar encrypted letters can be deciphered by players who have learned the "deciphering" profession, just like locked boxes need to have the "unlock" skill Just like the thieves come to open it, just spend some money and find someone to decipher it.
But now Rody doesn't have his own intelligence network at all, let alone know any "deciphering" professional guy, so he can only stare at the letter.
Thinking that he had been stabbed and still got nothing, Rody felt depressed, and couldn't help looking at the head that was brought back.
Speaking of running around with this head in the middle of the night, he really wouldn't have dared to do such a thing before, and he probably wouldn't have run away if he had a nightmare when he was offline. But now, when everything is linked to "life and death", that kind of fear seems to be minimal.
Why can the undead pretend to be humans? Why did the other party spend five years poisoning the Duke of Angmar
This kind of question will not be answered for a while, but what Rody wants to know is why the ring in his hand, which can only be used as a flashlight, can directly kill a guy whose level is 7 levels higher than his.
Such things as level differences cannot be ignored. A level 5 ring can burn a high-level undead to the ground with just light. It is unscientific to think about it. Rody had a lot of questions to answer, so he couldn't wait to reach out and untie the clothes covering the human head, but immediately frowned...
The head wrapped in this clothes seemed to be completely burned, leaving only a large pile of skull fragments, while the skin and muscles were all turned into gray-black ashes, and it was simply a pile of indistinguishable slag. .
"What the hell is this called..."
Raising his hand to look at the ring in his hand, Roddy recited the activation spell again in disbelief, and the light appeared in front of him instantly, and when the already broken skull encountered the soft light, it started to "grow" Smoke rose, and then even the hard skull shattered into pieces, and then turned into ashes.
The corners of Rody's mouth twitched a little. He knew that low-level skeleton soldiers were afraid of light, but high-level undead were not afraid of the sun at all. If we talk about restraint, only the high-level magic spells released by priests can produce such effects—other than this, what else? possible
What kind of artifact or epic ring is this
When he thought about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that the ring he picked up in the Endel Mine was written in wood elf script, and it seemed to have something to do with the "Guardian of Light"—it seemed to be a ring that was cut in the eta (test) version. The lost class, when the server was launched, the player couldn't change the class at all, but judging from the name, it seems that it really has something to do with "Holy Light".
When I think about some professions that players discussed being cut off when the server was launched, the most obvious feature is that they are so integrated that they have to be cut off and divided into two or several new professions for players to choose from.
"Guardian of Light" was cut off because the combination of offense and defense was too much. IMA (imbanc, the abbreviation of "imbalance" in the game) was divided into two advanced professions, "Holy Priest" and "Bright Warrior", which met a similar fate. There are also "demon warlocks", "demon hunters", "death knights", "mystics" and so on.
Thinking of this, Rody couldn't help raising his eyebrows... Hey, could this ring be related to advanced professions
