With a goal in mind, Xiao Zhi moved forward on this gray sea of undead, looking for other fragments of poetry.
The sea of undead itself does not flow, but the stone slabs float on it spontaneously as if consciously, the fluttering is irregular, and the stone slabs are not big in size, so it is not easy to find under the cover of gray fog.
Xiao Zhi searched for several of them one after another, and found another piece of content belonging to "Death is Eternal Love", but the content on some slabs was difficult to read fluently. I don't know if it was a more esoteric article or a specially released confusing option.
He continued to float on the sea surface, and the sea surface not far in front suddenly churned with foam, as if the water had been boiled and kept tumbling.
This is a bit strange, Xiao Zhi cautiously took a few steps closer to that side.
"Boss, I smell the soul fire crystal..."
Da Zhuangzhuang appeared suddenly, with sleepy eyes, a messy mane, and a crooked old man's vest. It was a guy with a bad sleeping posture at a glance.
Xiao Zhi looked at it: "What is that?"
"Well..." Da Zhuangzhuang stretched his waist and looked at his master.
Looking at it, its drowsiness was completely gone, and tears welled up in its big eyes: "Boss... you... how did you die... wow... I just fell asleep, and I didn't expect to lose my job again …”
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Da Zhuang Zhuang has been sleeping inside the hammer for a month, and he naturally doesn't know about the undead soul crystal. Seeing his boss suddenly become an undead, everyone will feel panic.
Xiao Zhi briefly explained the current situation, and then concluded: "Anyway, for now, you won't be unemployed."
Da Zhuangzhuang's tears finally stopped, it flew up and down around Xiao Zhi, and poked it with its little paw: "Really?"
Xiao Zhi nodded: "Really, what is the soul fire crystal you mentioned just now?"
Da Zhuang Zhuang crossed his legs in the air, and an old man came to sit. He scratched his feet and said, "This is one of the upgrade materials that the master designed for the soul chaser first. It will only be produced in Hesse, and the outside world wants to get it." It's very difficult."
"Because Hesse has always been xenophobic, the master was afraid of being beaten to death by them, so he crossed it off the list and prepared a few substitutes. But the substitutes can't perfectly replace the soul fire crystal, and the master has always been troubled by this The problem, I didn’t expect you, boss, to find it right away!”
Da Zhuangzhuang gave him a thumbs up with his foot-picking hand.
"I'm not dead yet." Xiao Zhi explained, then turned to the bubbling place, "How do I get the soul fire crystal?"
Da Zhuangzhuang said: "The soul fire crystal will burn the soul, and the burn of the soul is difficult to treat, and it may even drive people into madness. Boss, if you are an undead, you must be more careful. Don't touch it with your hands. Not at all."
Xiao Zhi: "It's okay if you don't have direct contact?"
Da Zhuang Zhuang nodded.
Xiao Zhi asked again: "Soul Fire Crystal, is it strong?"
Da Zhuang Zhuang didn't know why, but he still nodded: "It's very strong, but it's not easy to melt."
Xiao Zhi thought for a moment, then took out the Soul Chaser, and in Da Zhuang Zhuang's bewildered eyes, he took the Soul Chaser as a stick, and swung it hard against the bubbling water.
A gray crystal with a translucent white flame on it was swung out by the stick, and flew into the air.
Xiao Zhi jumped into the air with a light leap, approached the soul fire crystal, put it into the backpack directly from a distance, and then lightly returned to the original place. The whole process was extremely smooth, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.
"Papapa" Da Zhuangzhuang applauded for his boss' wonderful performance, "Boss, you are really amazing! Can you do it again?"
Xiao Zhi was unmoved: "Are you thinking of playing monkeys? Let's go."
After speaking, he turned and left the area, continuing to search for other stone tablets.
·
This gray ocean seemed to be boundless, Xiao Zhi had been wandering in one direction for a long time, but he still didn't see the boundary, but he harvested a few stone slabs along the way.
He arranged the stone slabs in the order of the poems, and at the moment of getting closer, the joints of the two stone slabs merged into a complete whole. array.
Probably when the magic circle is complete, it's time for him to pass the level.
Ahead, another new stone slab appeared.
Xiao Zhi was about to step forward to take a look, when an icy chain came towards him suddenly, Xiao Zhi, who was in the state of a dead soul, could clearly feel the chill coming from the chain, as if he wanted to freeze his soul.
He suddenly changed his direction and floated to the side, avoiding the blow.
At the same time, he also looked in the direction of the attack.
In the gray fog, a figure in a gray cloak stepped out of the fog. His body was hunched, and his outstretched arms were dry and black. He should be a mummy.
Their feet clearly look like water, but they allow participants to walk on it steadily, even if they are not light undead.
As soon as the mummy appeared, there was no intention of talking nonsense to Xiao Zhi, and the chain in his hand attacked him again.
Xiao Zhi was not intimidated either, as a senior hacker, whenever he was afraid of a surprise attack, he would directly return with a fireball.
The chain fell through, but Xiao Zhi's fireball was also dodged flexibly by the opponent, and sank in the sea.
This guy's speed is actually faster than Xiao Zhi originally expected. It's best to limit his movements, but here is the sea, and he can't cast flames and thorns, and the magic world also has to follow basic rules.
Xiao Zhi first attacked the opponent with three fireballs in succession, the fireballs formed a small enveloping net, if the opponent wanted to dodge, they had to go towards the gap specially reserved for him by Xiao Zhi.
The mummy moved quickly, rushing to the gap surrounded immediately, but the moment he got there, a stun fireball also arrived at the same time as him.
In an instant, the mummy was stunned.
Xiao Zhi was not polite to him, and was going to take the opportunity to make a big move to send him away.
Just when Xiao Zhi was about to cast the spell, the mummy that should have been stunned suddenly moved. He raised his hand, and it turned out that a brilliant holy light technique came towards Xiao Zhi.
The holy light technique has a strong restraint effect on the undead, and the damage is very high. It is one of the few spells that can directly kill the undead.
Xiao Zhi, who was currently an undead, had no choice but to interrupt his spellcasting and dodge the blow first.
As we all know, on the Dazemenya continent, only the Blaise Empire has mastered the inheritance of the Holy Light Art. Although Blaise is still an empire in name, it is actually almost the same as the Papal State. The basic affairs are dominated by the church, and the king is just their puppet.
What is more well-known to everyone is that Blaise and Hessen are in the same situation. They have fought countless battles for hundreds of years, and there is absolutely no private friendly contact.
Now, a guy who participated in the selection of Hesse's clerk actually used the holy light technique. What does this mean
Da Zhuangzhuang gave the correct answer: "Undercover!"
Although he hadn't passed the examination yet, Xiao Zhi, who had coveted the position of secretary for a long time, was suddenly unhappy. He hasn't figured out what A Sen has been through these years, but Blaise actually jumped out to make trouble, and even wanted to take his chance away? !
Can this be tolerated
You have a vest, don't I? !
Xiao Zhi immediately canceled the effect of the undead soul crystal, and raised his hand to throw out an upgraded version of the fireball technique - bursting fireball. The fiery bursting fireball was hotter than ordinary fireballs, and rushed over with sparks and lightning all the way with a crackling and dangerous sound.
Although the explosive fireball is more powerful, it is also very dynamic. It is the brightest star in the crowd in a battle, and Xiao Zhi generally doesn't like to use it. But now that there is no one around, and he is a nasty 25-year-old boy, he doesn't mind.
Faced with this situation, the mummy also paused, probably because it never expected that the other side was also a 25-year-old boy in a vest.
To make matters worse, this guy is obviously not easy to mess with.
The exploding fireballs in Xiao Zhi's hands continued one after another, and at the same time, it also triggered the special effect of "Soul Chaser" - the power of the skill increased by 100%, and the range increased by 20%, lasting for 30 seconds.
This time, Xiao Zhi threw the fireball more smoothly.
In the dense line of fire, the mummy struggled to dodge and tried to prop up the light shield to defend, but the fireballs of the guy opposite were like a big opening treat, attacking him frantically with increased volume and no price increase.
Finally, after struggling hard, the mummy fell down unwillingly. His body did not sink to the bottom of the water, but floated on the surface.
Xiao Zhi stepped forward to check, but found something strange in it.
Although this guy looked like a mummy on the outside, the charred part of his body gave off a strange smell, like some kind of wood. Xiao Zhi beat his body with the Soul Chaser, and what he heard was also a stiff texture, and he saw something resembling a gear in the damaged part.
"Puppet?" Xiao Zhi frowned.
Brest made a mummy puppet to participate in Hessen's recruitment of clerks, which was not a good intention no matter how you looked at it.
Even thinking about it again, generally those who are qualified to approach the Lord of Hesse are the knight commanders, but it is difficult to impersonate the strength of the knight commander level. But the clerk is different. People in this position don't need to be too strong, they can get in touch with Hesse's daily affairs, and even get close to the Hesse lord.
What does Blaise want to do to Arsen through this puppet
Da Zhuangzhuang also floated over: "Boss, I feel the breath of conspiracy."
Xiao Zhi didn't speak, but his heart was at ease. Fortunately, this puppet was dealt with before he got close to Asen.
Although he only had a half-knowledge of the entanglement between Blaise and Hessen, after knowing that the lord of Hessen was Asen, his position had already tilted towards Hessen, and he naturally didn't want Blaise's scheme to succeed.
At this time, Xiao Zhi suddenly felt the suction force from his feet, which could have allowed the participant to walk steadily on the surface of the water, but now it seems to be swallowing him, constantly sucking his feet, as if wanting to let him Forever sinking at the bottom of the sea.
Feeling that the situation was not right, Xiao Zhi immediately reactivated the dead soul crystal, the suction disappeared instantly, and the sea surface returned to its steady state.
It seems that living people are not welcome in this sea area.
He lit another fire and burned the puppet completely before he stepped forward to pick up the stone slab on the water. The slate happened to be the last piece of "Death is Eternal Nostalgia" he needed. After the slate is assembled, there will definitely be new changes.
In order to avoid being exposed, Xiao Zhi asked Da Zhuangzhuang to go back to Master Bruqiang's hammer to rest before splicing the stone slabs together.
After the brilliance flashed, the magic circle behind the stone slab lit up completely, and a bigger magic circle appeared at Xiao Zhi's feet, taking him away from the spot in an instant.
·
In an unknown corner of the sea of undead.
Einstein squatted on the sea, with a large pile of stone slabs in front of him.
He tried to put them together in the way of jigsaw puzzles, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't succeed. The stone slabs stubbornly went their own way as if they were against him.
Finally, Einstein threw all the stone slabs in his hand, then leaned back and lay down on the water.
"Why do I have to take a written test at the end!! It's still a full-text test!!!"
"Who the hell knows what the next sentence is!!!"
·
Hall of Bones.
Different from the gorgeous palace imagined by outsiders, the residence of the Lord of Hesse is empty, empty and dead.
There is almost no decoration here, and a large area of space is blank. Because of the large size of the room itself, you can even hear echoes when walking in it.
The owner here does not need expensive decorations to show his superiority, nor does he need souvenirs to prove his meritorious deeds. Standing here, he is synonymous with supremacy, which no one in Hesse doubts.
Frost sat on his icy throne, fingers holding the Tablet of Memories obtained in the Longmoon Desert.
At this moment, a ray of light was emitting from the memory tablet and connected to his forehead.
If you are a person who knows the memory tablet, you will feel incredible when you see this scene. Because the Tablets of Memories are Dana's means of attacking her enemies, she loves to unearth their deepest secrets and use them to torture their minds and crush them.
Since it is a means of fighting against the enemy, of course it will not make the person being attacked too comfortable. The mural in Dana's tomb also depicts the picture of her opponent kneeling down in pain after being attacked.
But now, Frost actually used the Memory Slate on himself.
He closed his eyes tightly and frowned slightly, obviously he was enduring something, but he still sat firmly, without losing his composure in the slightest because of the pain.
Frost saw himself standing under the big white tree that often appeared in his memory. This time, there was no one around, only him quietly staring at the sky in a daze, wearing a dusty robe.
Suddenly, an old man appeared in front of him.
The old man was wearing clothes he had never seen before. He had silver hair, his face was covered with grooves left by the years, and his blue eyes were a little cloudy, but his figure was tall and slender, with a straight back, and he was still a handsome old man. gentleman.
The old man walked towards him with leisurely steps: "Hi, it's the first time we meet. Let me introduce myself. My name is Noah Pei. I am your creator. You can also be understood as your father."
He said: "You... well..."
Noah Pei didn't expect to get an answer, and he was obviously surprised: "Frost, you have learned to speak?! No, I didn't teach you, you should not be able to speak now."
He looked at the old man with a puzzled look on his face: "Who is Frost?"
Noah Pei pointed at him: “This is the name I gave you.”
He shook his head: "No, my... name is... Asen."
Noah Pei stroked his chin: "You woke up earlier than I expected. Maybe someone saw you before me. Is it an Athanasi? You were randomly sent to Hesse's birth point, see Not so lucky."
However, this way of naming seems to be a bit similar to his own... Noah Pei suddenly became a little curious about this player he had never met.
The content of this sentence is a bit complicated. He looked at the old man and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
Noah Pei didn't get angry because he refused to name him, but walked up to him and sat down casually, and asked in a different way by the way: "Can you tell me who gave you the name?"
He thought for a while: "Friend... friend."
Then add: "Important."
Noah Pei looked gently at the silver-haired young man beside him: "Asen is really good, he made friends the first day he woke up."
Seeing that the other party admitted his name, Asen laughed: "Well, he... is fine."
The old man pretended to be aggrieved and looked at him: "I've thought about the name I gave you for a long time, can you accept it too? Many people have two names, it's not surprising at all."
A Sen asked: "Does he... have it too?"
Although he didn't specify it, Noah Pei understood that A Sen must be referring to that friend, he nodded, there must be players.
Seeing the affirmation, Asen also nodded: "Okay."
Noah Pei asked: "What kind of person is he? Can you tell me your story?"
Asen said: "He—"
The memory suddenly stopped here, everything in front of me suddenly shattered, all sounds and pictures disappeared, and became a pile of fragments that were difficult to condense.
Frost reached out and rubbed his forehead. The severe headache had not gone away, which made him a little uncomfortable.
After a while, he opened his eyes, and there was a slight warmth in the platinum eyes.
He remembered more things about the man.
Previously, the memory of that person in his mind was always intermittent and difficult to complete. Sometimes it was silent fragments, sometimes there was only sound, and sometimes it was just some scattered still pictures.
He still remembered that the man was an Athanasi, and he also remembered that the man had taught him a lot, and the warmth in his heart when they were together.
But most of the details of the relationship between the two have been blurred, and he can't even remember the name of that person. Did that person leave in the end, or did they meet again later, but he just forgot
And Noah Pei, the man who claimed to be his creator and father, that also seems to be a warm memory. Unfortunately, halfway through the memory, I still can't continue.
Once he started to recall the past, his head began to hurt again, as if some force was preventing him from recalling.
At this time, Lance knocked on the door: "Lord, the clerk has been elected, do you want to see him?"
Frost seemed a little uninterested because of his headache: "No."
Lance was silent for a moment, seemingly hesitating.
A moment later, footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Wait." An inexplicable feeling rose from his heart, and Frost suddenly stopped Lance, "Take him to the main hall of the Skeleton Palace, I want to have a look."
"yes."
·
Xiao Zhi came to the Palace of Skeletons led by the undead who led the way.
This is the core area of Hessen, where the lord's palace is located. This gray-white palace stands on an unknown huge skeleton, looking cold and chilling.
On both sides are undead knights lined up, all with serious faces. Xiao Zhi felt that if he showed his flaws here, they would definitely rush up and trample him into scum in the next second.
Going up the long stairs, Xiao Zhi finally came to the main hall.
In the main hall stood several undead men dressed as knight commanders, among them was Dean whom he had seen before.
On the high platform of the main hall, there was a gorgeous black seat, and a man in black armor with a helmet covering half of his face was sitting on it. His silver hair was scattered, exuding a cold luster.
Almost the moment he saw the figure, Xiao Zhi felt his heart beat a little faster.
Although the dress was completely different, the aura was completely different, and even the posture of sitting down had changed, but he saw the shadow of Asen from the subtle movements that he was familiar with.
The person on the throne is Asen.
Xiao Zhi calmed himself down, and he saluted the people on the high platform with the etiquette of the undead: "My lord, I am Seventeen selected by the clerk."
Xiao Zhi couldn't see A Sen's eyes clearly, but he just felt that the other party's gaze was firmly locked on him after this sentence, like a heavy shackle, and like a chain that could not be cut, tightly wrapped him Among them, almost want to suffocate.
There was a dead silence in the hall.
Everyone present was silent, not a single sound came out, and even because everyone was undead, even the movement of breathing was omitted, making them appear quieter.
Dean turned his gaze slightly towards the new clerk, a necromancer with a gentle appearance and a bit of a bookish look, a calm demeanor, and not too ugly a dead face.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this man, why does the lord keep staring at him? Is he from Blaise
But in Hesse, the lord's opinion is above all else, and Dean looked back after just one glance, without raising any questions of his own.
The unbearable silence continued, Xiao Zhi almost thought he was exposed. He has obviously changed his face, his name, and even his race, so he won't be recognized... right
Should he change to a different name, like... Eighteen
The silence continued for a while.
The Hessian lord who was sitting on the seat suddenly stood up, and he walked down the high platform step by step with his long legs. Only the sound of his footsteps echoed in the hall, as if hitting Xiao Zhi's heart every now and then.
Xiao Zhi tried his best to tell himself to stay calm and not to panic, his heartbeat still couldn't help but increase little by little, but due to the disguise of the undead soul crystal, no movement could be discerned.
Just when Xiao Zhi thought he would just walk in front of him, he saw the black figure turn a corner and leave without saying a word.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
He was a little confused, what does this mean? He passed? Or was it brushed down? Or is it about to be dealt with by everyone
Everyone in Hesse expressed that they were not surprised by this. The knight commanders who had been with the lord for a long time knew that the lord has never been conscientious. There are many things that he suddenly quit doing, such as the pile in the government affairs hall, which is why Hesse needs a clerk.
They left one after another after going through the big wind and waves, what should they do.
Xiao Zhi was still in a daze, but saw that his eyes went dark, it was really dark, a knight commander who was as tall and strong as a hill walked in front of him, blocking the light. The knight commander was an undead, he looked very fierce, and he was probably a man who had experienced many battles before his death.
The knight commander with a fierce face spoke and motioned Xiao Zhi to follow: "Let's go, I'll take you to the government affairs hall."
After taking two steps, he stopped: "My name is Lance."
Xiao Zhi saluted him: "Hello."
After walking two more steps, he stopped again, stretched out his hand and scratched his forehead: "You...what's your name?"
Xiao Zhi: "... Seventeen."
Although this guy looks fierce, he doesn't seem to have a good brain.
Still a little unclear about the previous situation, Xiao Zhi asked Lance: "Excuse me, am I qualified?"
Lance nodded: "Well, the lord didn't say that you are qualified if you are thrown out. Afterwards, you will be responsible for helping the lord with the paperwork. According to the lord's wishes, you can decide on unimportant matters by yourself without asking for his opinion."
Xiao Zhi asked, "What counts as an unimportant matter?"
Lance thought for a while: "Probably...except for attacking Blaise?"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
How did Hessen hold on tenaciously until now
·
Finally, the government affairs hall arrived.
Lance stood at the door and signaled Xiao Zhi to open the door: "There are documents you need to deal with inside."
Xiao Zhi was still a little puzzled, why he stood at the door and said this, until he stretched out his hand and opened the door of the government affairs hall.
The documents inside have been squeezed for an unknown amount of time, and they have filled the entire room. Even the newest documents were forced in with brute force. The moment the door of the government affairs hall opened, a large pile of white papers spewed out of the door with a "poof".
Caught off guard, Xiao Zhi was submerged, and Lance was also affected, but he stubbornly exposed the top of his head by virtue of his height advantage.
Xiao Zhi's voice came from under the pile of papers: "... the documents... all?"
Lance: "Yes."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
How did Hessen hold on until now? ! ! !
The author has something to say: Xiao Zhi: Why don't you do your homework
Arsen: ...
