The knight in the abyss

Chapter 824 Red Tape
"Kranvor?" Soveris repeated the name in confusion, "The current Lord of the Dead?"

"That's right." Lancelow nodded, "Melko is already the former owner of that title."

"The lord of the dead has changed? When did it happen?"

"More than 100 years ago, there was an upheaval in the multiverse known as the saint catastrophe. The gods were driven out of their kingdom of God in the outer plane, and they were forced to walk in the form of saints. On the earth. The gods who fight against each other through the church and agents on weekdays fought directly in the mortal world, which caused a series of disasters, and the culprits of all this were Melkor and Bane. I will not go into details about the specific process Yes, the final result was that the three gods of death were all killed, and their priesthood was replaced by a mortal named Cyric, and the catastrophe of the saints ended. Ten years later, Cyric, Lord of the Dead The priesthood was replaced by Kelemvor, but the former did not die, and still retained the priesthood of lies, conspiracy and deceit. By the way, we also found some evidence in that ancient ruins, showing that those hags are likely to be related to Xi Rick has some sort of partnership."

"This is really...unbelievable." Soveris was a little overwhelmed by so much information, "What kind of god is this... Kelemvor, the current Lord of the Dead, you're talking about?"

"When he was still a mortal, he was a kind, sincere, and resolute warrior. However, after he became the Lord of the Dead, influenced by the ancient death god Jagal, his alignment turned to lawful neutrality." Lancelow shrugged. Shrugging, "This is an official statement. My personal feeling is that the part of him that used to be a mortal has not disappeared. It's just that the duty of the Lord of the Dead cannot allow any personal feelings to be mixed."

"You are overrated, sir."

A voice that everyone was quite familiar with suddenly sounded in the room.Lancelot turned his head and found a figure in a black robe and a silver mask in a corner that was originally empty. It was the Kelemvor himself they were talking about just now.

"Please allow me to introduce you, Lord of the Dead, Judge of the Scourge, Mentor of the Crystal Tower, Great Ferryer, God of Death, Your Honorable Kelemvor Lansban."

"Thank you for your introduction, the savior of Oasis Castle, Mogrondal and Pascole, the protector of the sworn demon, the dragon slayer, the one who melted the glaciers and extinguished the volcano, the repair knight in the abyss, Lan of Shuangqiao Town His Royal Highness Prince Silo Durek." The phantom of the god replied solemnly, "Did I miss out a title?"

"No." Lancelot pouted speechlessly, "You added too much."

"To each other." Kelemvor shrugged, "In order to save our precious time, I propose to call each other by first name, how about it?"

Soveris, who was standing beside him, was full of shock. After all, not everyone would be ready to meet a god.However, the elf knows that there is a real god standing before him, and a feeling he has never experienced before makes him very sure of this, similar to knowing someone's gender just by looking at it.

"You... hello, great Lord of the Dead." Soveris said with some difficulty, "My name is Soveris, welcome to Raven Town..."

"Hello, Soveris, just call me Kelemvor." The Lord of the Dead nodded to him, "I'm sorry that I can only talk to you in this way, because I can't leave that ancient temple right now. Lancelot told me that you and we have the same goal, which is to defeat the Lich King and lift the curse on this land, is that true?"

"Of course." Soveris nodded immediately, "That is also the long-cherished wish of my people, for which we are willing to pay any price..."

"Don't say that kind of thing lightly. Some of them are too expensive. I've seen too many similar things." Kelemvor shook his head lightly. Did you encounter something..."

The human knights spent about half an hour describing in detail to Kelemvor and Soveris what they saw in the Hagwood, including the small lake filled with the Styx River, the high mountain that can capture souls The tower, the barn full of maggots, and Medusa's statement about the hag, on the contrary, don't have much ink on the battle part, and most of them have been mentioned in one sentence.

"A magic tower that captures fallen souls?" Kelemvor's voice sounded more serious than before, "Show me some of the soul prisms you obtained there."

"no problem."

Hearing this, Lancelot immediately untied his waist pocket, reached out and took out a purple crystal cylinder the size of a duck egg. There seemed to be faint smoke floating inside, which meant that a poor soul was imprisoned inside.Kelemvor's phantom stepped forward, stared at the crystal in the human knight's hand for a few seconds, then shook his head and looked away.

"Have you found anything?"

"The soul locked inside is called Habib. He has experienced seven deaths, and the first six resurrections made him believe that he is the illegitimate son of Peyton Derek, and that he was born to rule this country. Kelenvor's voice became cold, like a high wall without emotion, "Before he died for the last time, he told a prostitute about his views, but he was ruthlessly ridiculed. Infuriated, he put the prostitute in the Beaten to death on the bed while the latter scratched his skin with his poisoned nails. Then he was sucked into this crystal, just two weeks ago. Next."

"Somaya Osborne, a hotel bellboy who liked to collect phallic specimens. She used to be a good girl with a kind heart, but this is a cursed place, and it is difficult for ordinary people not to be affected by the environment .Enough. No need to bring out a new one."

"Is there any conclusion?"

"As the Medusa captive said, all captured souls belong to the neutral evil camp, and as far as I know, both sides in the bloody battle like maggots with faces of that camp, because order means refusing to change, and will It takes too much power for them to transform into other forms, and chaos means extreme instability. After a high-level demon pays magic power, it is likely to get completely unexpected results, even the demon lord does not like it Encountered that kind of situation." Kelemvor folded his arms, and subconsciously stroked his chin with his right hand, but only touched the cold mask, so he put his hand down again. "The problem is that hags have ruled this demiplane for a long time. If they had made such an arrangement from a very early age, the number of human-faced maggots produced here over the years is definitely an astonishing number..."
