The knight in the abyss

Chapter 833 What is the purpose

Prompted by the butler's corpse, everyone found another hidden compartment behind the statue of the hydra, which contained a large number of delicate and valuable jewels and accessories.

"This... this... these are mine!" Upon seeing the items in the dark compartment, Fran immediately screamed angrily, "Damn thief, how dare she?!"

"Uh..." Lancelot encountered this situation for the first time, "It's all yours?"

"I can prove it." Soveris said on the side, "This ruby ​​bracelet is a 14th birthday present from His Royal Highness, the stone can be removed, and there is the emblem of the Derek family at the bottom; this string of pearl necklace was given to her directly by His Royal Highness's grandmother. Yes, the queen also said that she has always wanted to come when she was a child; and that scepter over there, it has a cover at the bottom, and when you open it, you will find the initials of His Royal Highness engraved on it, that is, she graduated from the Magic Academy Proof; as for this elf-inspired diamond ring..."

Soveris choked for a moment, and seemed a little embarrassed to speak, while the expression of the zombie princess beside him had already become very gentle.

"...you gave it to me." Fran said softly, "Sorry, I lied to you at the time, but I didn't actually throw it away."

"Although it's more than 100 years late, I'm still very happy to know that." The elf showed a somewhat complicated smile, and pulled his necklace from his neck, "Look, I still have mine..."

"..." The zombie princess lowered her head, hiding the expression on her face.

"Since it was originally yours, then you can take it away." Lancelot said in time, destroying the already delicate atmosphere, "The main purpose of this trip is still the bone, these are just extra gains... Let's hurry out and deliver the bones to the Lord of the Dead as quickly as possible."

"Well...Soveris, please put it away for me first, I don't have any place to put anything on me."

"Obey." An uncontrollable smile appeared on the elf's face, "My Royal Highness."

Following the passage they came from, the group of people returned to the ground, but the noise that wafted into their ears made them nervous all at once.The sound came from the street outside, which is very abnormal, because Chadgori has always been a small town shrouded in shadows and exceptionally quiet. Almost every resident has his own secrets, and he is more used to hiding behind closed doors. Plotting, trading, even killing behind a drawn veil rarely makes such a noteworthy noise.

Except for Fran, the other three were experienced adventurers, they immediately hid their figures, and the zombie princess followed suit.Lancelot gently opened a corner of the curtain, looked out with his head, and found that there was a large army of undead marching on the street, led by a black armored knight riding a skeleton warhorse, and in the team there were Thirty or so mortals, surrounded by undead soldiers, were advancing with the army of undead, apparently not voluntarily.

"Those who were caught are your people?" Lancelot asked in a low voice, and at the same time looked at other nearby buildings, "There are still many people in the surrounding buildings who are secretly watching..."

"No." Soveris replied with the same subtle voice, "But there are a few familiar faces, and they should be the townspeople of Chadgori, but why did the undead arrest them..."

Before Soveris finished speaking, the leading skeleton knight suddenly raised his arm—a piece of white bone covered with a metal gauntlet—at the same time making a strange sound of bone crashing.The voice seemed to be some kind of order, and its subordinates immediately stopped advancing, and some of them turned their heads and rushed towards a small four-story building diagonally opposite the hotel, right next to the hut that the arakkoa used as a hiding place before.

Panicked exclamations immediately came from the building invaded by the undead, followed by the sound of metal clashes of swords and swords.Considering the difference in the number of people, there was almost no suspense about the outcome. Soon there was the sound of glass being smashed, and then two figures fell heavily on the street.

Judging from the horrific wounds on their bodies, it was clear that the cause of death was not a fall.

"This is a small gang called 'Poison Spreaders'. People who died from their poison will become as intelligent as idiots after being resurrected, so the sales of the products are not bad." Soveris whispered for Lan Si Luo explained, "Those who were thrown down were their two little leaders, and they were the only ones who had any fighting power... Ah, look at that guy in green, that is their leader, and the title is 'Professor Poison' 'The alchemist..."

About eight people were brought out of the house unharmed and appeared to have put up no resistance.Lancelow knew very well that there were definitely more than ten living people in that building just now, and behind those living captives, undead soldiers came out carrying corpses one after another, even the two on the ground who had been killed just now The dropped corpses were also dragged away.

The captives were pushed into line, huddled with the rest of the living, and the undead army began to move on.Accompanied by a low rumbling sound, a strange truck that had not been seen before entered everyone's field of vision. The truck was pulled by the corpse of a large animal that had been activated. It was full of fresh corpses—including those that the undead had just created in front of everyone. The scene almost made Lancelot feel like he was back on the bloody battlefield again.

"Payton's army...has massacred the city?" Lancelot frowned tightly, "Didn't you say there was none before?"

"Strictly speaking, there is really no..." The brown-haired elf explained in a low voice, "They just keep catching the living, and it seems that there is no pattern, but if they don't resist, they won't kill people..."

"Catch the living?" Lancelot frowned even tighter, "I can understand killing people, the purpose is to create more undead creatures, but what is the purpose of catching the living? Little Isa, you do you know?"

The girl who was blessed by the Lord of the Dead shook her head innocently.

"Lancelot, you don't want to save people, do you..." Soveris said in a rather negative tone, "This is just a small team of the army that entered the city. There is no way to escape with them..."

"I know." Lancelow nodded lightly with a sullen face, "and I really don't have the ability to defeat so many enemies...at least I can't right now. However, I think it is still necessary to figure out the undead, or Peyton Derek is going to catch these living people, my instinct tells me that this must be nothing good, and it is likely to be part of some kind of evil plan of it..."
