Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 246 This Dream Is Too Real
"So, I'm dreaming?"

Emlyn looked down at his hands. He who had just climbed out of the coffin was no longer wearing a dress in reality, but was wearing a suit of armor.The inner layer is a chain mail made of iron rings, and the outer layer is a full-body plate armor of dark silver color.There seemed to be a cloak still tied around the neck, but the cloak was already in tatters, with only a little fabric left at the root.

A forsythia long sword hangs on the left waist, and an iron iron-shaped shield is carried on the back. The front of the shield is engraved with a 'sword'-shaped emblem formed by complex and exquisite patterns, and there are still cut marks left by the sword on it. mark.

Overall, it looks like an ancient knight's attire.

This kind of dress was still popular even decades ago, which was the last glorious era of knights.

Those knights wearing breastplates charged wildly towards the array of muskets and artillery, destroying opponents and leveling the front line. Unfortunately, they soon ushered in the invention and installation of high-pressure steam rifles and six-barreled machine guns. , the traditional knights completely lost their usefulness.

High-pressure steam rifles can easily pierce their breastplates, and six-barreled machine guns can directly smash hordes of knights into plugs!In front of the army equipped with steam rifles and six-barreled machine guns, the charging knight can only be reduced to a living target.

"This dream is too real." Emlyn whispered with emotion.

With emotion, Emlyn suddenly frowned, and reached out to touch his right waist. He felt that it was bulging and uncomfortable.After fumbling for a while, he took out a dark green glass bottle from his waist, which contained a golden yellow liquid.

【Element Bottle】

[Dark green glass bottle,
It is the treasure of the undead.

Accumulate elements through the campfire, and drink them to restore blood volume.

Since ancient times, the undead have always shuttled between the campfires,

And the element bottle has been traveling along with it. 】

"Element bottle? Restore blood volume?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Emlyn's eyes, not knowing why.Until now, he is still confused about what happened.He didn't know what he was going to do, he just looked around instinctively, observing the surrounding environment vigilantly.

A second ago he was lying on a bed made of grass in front of the tomb of Duke Olmer, dreaming.It will appear here in the next second, +
Appeared in a desolate cemetery, lying in a coffin.

All around him are only nameless tombstones and sarcophagi, either broken or complete, buried underground or exposed, but no matter what their state is, these sarcophagi and tombstones are piled up one after the other, row upon row.

Some of these sarcophagi have been opened, and there is nothing inside. It seems that the corpses buried in them have left by themselves, just like Emlyn who just crawled out of the tomb.

But compared to the huge number of sarcophagi in the cemetery, the opened part is not worth mentioning at all.Looking around, the entire cemetery was crowded with nameless tombstones and sarcophagi, leaving almost no gaps.Even with a rough estimate, the number of sarcophagi here is at least tens of thousands!
There is only one road in front of him, and the other three sides are blocked by towering tombstones and cliffs.

"So, we just need to explore forward?" Emlyn whispered to himself, and quickly determined his goal.

Although I don't understand why I had this dream, it must have an inseparable connection with the Duke of Omer.And since the adult let him have such a dream, he must hope that he can do something in the dream.

And whatever Duke Olmer wanted them to do in their dreams, exploration was the first step.

Along the way, he soon met a 'person'.

A 'person' whose whole body is wrapped in black clothing, revealing scrawny limbs and a haggard face.Even from a relatively long distance, Emlyn could hear the beast-like growl from the opponent's mouth.

Compared with a person in the traditional sense, it is more like some kind of living corpse, and this also makes Emlyn wonder if the other party can communicate...

Emlyn was still hesitating, but the living corpse had already discovered his existence.The whole person seemed to become 'spirited' all of a sudden, roaring and raised the straight sword with more than half of the broken blade in his hand and rushed towards him.

Although he still didn't understand what was going on, Emlyn still reacted immediately.

He held the shield in his left hand, but he didn't pull out the long sword at his waist.

As a vampire, of course he has undergone a certain degree of melee training, and he is also quite proficient in using long swords.

But rather than using a long sword, he is better at using the blood clan's traditional fighting methods——

The five nails on his right hand suddenly grew an extra section, with sharp tips, covered with black patterns and symbols.

The moment the living corpse swung the broken straight sword and slashed, Emlyn had already raised his shield to block the opponent's attack.At the same time, he pierced the opponent's neck with his right hand, which stretched out its sharp and corrosive claws, and tore it forcefully.

Snapped!
The corpses of the living corpses were separated, and they fell limply on the ground. The broken straight sword also lost its support, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

【+20】

But Emlyn did not feel the joy of defeating the enemy, but frowned slightly.

First of all, killing a living corpse in a dream is not commendable.

Secondly, Emlyn can clearly realize that this is a dream, but why can he use extraordinary abilities in the dream?

In addition, there is a third point -

There are a total of twelve blood races who 'dream' in front of Lord Olmer, but why hasn't he met anyone else so far?Is it because other people did not fall into the dream smoothly?Or have other people been killed by these living corpses?
In addition, what is this +20?
"Isn't it?"

Emlyn had a weird expression. The blood clan who fell into the dream was either a viscount or a baron, so they couldn't even deal with these living corpses, right?But if not, where did they go?Did you leave early?

But if they have already left, why are these living corpses still here?Hadn't they been attacked by living corpses?

After all, what is going on in this dream?
-
In front of an open space beside a cliff, a blond girl wearing a light blue dress that was easy to move stood in the center of the open space. In front of her was a pile of white bones with a long spiral sword inserted into the fire.

Audrey reached out and touched the bonfire lightly, and the next moment the fire pile ignited by itself as if sensing something.

"Is this the bonfire?"

Audrey's eyes shone slightly, and she whispered to herself.

Since the last experience with Adam, she and Kalula got along more and more harmoniously, and Kalula even invited her to 'dream' together.And Audrey was indeed very curious about the dreamland constructed by Karula. After all, this was something that even Adam in Sequence 1 had to pay attention to, so she readily accepted Karula's invitation.

As a result, one second she was still sleeping peacefully in her soft velvet bedding, and the next moment she appeared in this cemetery.

Fortunately, Audrey was prepared for all this, and quickly adapted to the changes around her.

Even as an 'internal beta player', she didn't have to have a random occupation at 'birth' like everyone else, but chose the 'useless person' start at the suggestion of Karula, so that everything in reality could be Bring it into the dream, including the dress on your body.

Although there were many living corpses blocking the road along the way, with the help of psychological invisibility, Audrey was able to get to the bonfire unimpeded without going through a fight.

The only thing that puzzled Audrey was that Carula said that many people should have entered the dream with her, but why didn't she see any of them?Could it be because of the particularity of the dream?
Although puzzled, Audrey decided to continue exploring.

Using psychological invisibility, she bypassed many or handle trails along the way.

Finally, a towering city wall blocked her way.

There are three arched entrances below the city wall, but two of the shorter ones seem to be just decorations, all of which are blocked by bricks and stones, and only the arched doorway on the far right is unobstructed.

Through the arched doorway, a wide but dilapidated 'square' appeared in front of Audrey.

The right side of the square is a cliff, and the left side is blocked by walls, stacked tombstones, and big trees with branches protruding from the ground.And there is another city wall in front, and there is a closed gate under the city wall.

In the center of the square, there was a tall figure squatting on the ground.Even if he was half squatting, his height was still far higher than Audrey, and even taller than most adult men.

He was wearing a set of bright silver gorgeous armor, engraved with a large number of intricate and exquisite patterns on the armor.And on his right side, there was a halberd inserted obliquely into the ground with a spiral pattern.

His left chest was pierced by a long spiral sword, and it seemed that it was this spiral sword that restricted his movement.On the back of its neck, there are still some liquid-like black tentacles 'growing', constantly wriggling outward.

Even though it was the first time seeing this kind of thing, Audrey still instinctively felt disgusted, and her brows were furrowed.

And in view of the fact that this tall knight is very strong at first glance, Audrey cautiously decided to bypass him——

Since she was promoted from Sequence 7 to Sequence 5 overnight, Audrey has no experience in fighting enemies so far.And since psychological stealth can avoid combat, there is no need for unnecessary combat.

Although she has psychological invisibility, Audrey still watched the half-kneeling tall knight vigilantly from the corner of her eye, worrying that the other party would suddenly stand up and give her a fatal blow.But none of this happened, and Audrey arrived at the closed bronze door very smoothly.

If it was still a low sequence, Audrey might be stumped by this closed door.

But after being promoted to Sequence 6 'Hypnotist', the physique of the Extraordinary in the 'spectator' path will be greatly enhanced.Regardless of strength or agility, they have surpassed the level of ordinary humans.

As for the 'dream walker' of Sequence 5, his physical fitness will also be greatly strengthened.

From the perspective of physical fitness alone, it is not inferior to the Extraordinary of the same sequence in other pathways.

"call!"

Audrey took a deep breath, put her hands on the two door panels of the door, and pushed tentatively.

Rumble!
Accompanied by a heavy rolling sound, the girl in the light blue dress pushed the door open, revealing a gap big enough for one person to pass through.

"Eh?"

Audrey blinked, it seemed to be simpler than imagined.

Looking back at the tall knight who was still half kneeling in the center of the square, Audrey turned her head and prepared to continue exploring.Her gaze came into contact with a tombstone in front of it, and in front of the tombstone was a huge rickety skeleton.And on the corpse, there is a white light cluster.

Audrey reached out to touch it curiously, and a prompt appeared in front of her eyes:
【Broken Straight Sword】

[A straight sword that breaks off half of the blade.

It's no longer a weapon.

Unless it is a mad wandering soul,

Otherwise, ordinary people should not use it.

Combat Skills: Prepare to Attack

Normal attack followed by ready attack

It can destroy the balance of the enemy holding the shield defense from below;
During a heavy attack, you can step forward and stab upwards.

Can be used on a case-by-case basis.

It's just that it's difficult to use a broken straight sword. 】

"Is this the weapon in the hands of those living corpses?"

Audrey thoughtfully put away the broken straight sword, and continued to move up the dilapidated stairs.

On both sides of the stairs is an open space full of weeds, and a large number of tombstones are scattered scattered on it.And under some of the tombstones, there are still some 'wandering spirits' holding weapons.On the farther left and right sides, there are bottomless cliffs.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, you can only see the bottomless white mist and the hazy snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Winding up the stairs, a towering building finally appeared in front of Audrey's eyes.

Through the arched doorway, the vision was dim for a moment.

But soon, under the lighting of candles all over the building, Audrey saw a scene that shocked Audrey——

She saw five thrones, five symmetrically arranged thrones!
These thrones are big and small, and there are quite a lot of candles around each throne.

It seems to be an elegy to the owner of the throne, and it seems to be a memorial to them.

Four of the thrones are all suspended at this time, except for a small figure sitting on the second throne on the left.

He is dressed in bright red, with a crown on his head, and his chin rests on his hands as if in thought.

Audrey looked down, only to realize that she was on the 'second floor' of this building.

The overall shape of the building is circular, and stairs are used to build the second floor at the edge.

There are five thrones on one side, the other side is the 'entrance' where Audrey enters the building, and there are two stairs on the right side, one leads to the 'first floor' and the other side leads to the 'third floor' of stairs.

On the stairs on the first floor sat a 'knight' with his head down and a long sword on his back.

He seemed to be different from the living corpses outside, and he could communicate with them.

"Welcome to the Campfire, my lord Ash Without Fire."

The girl walked down the first floor, and was about to talk to the knight with her head bowed, when a soft voice suddenly sounded beside her ear.

Audrey stopped in her tracks, and was taken aback for a moment. She thought the voice sounded familiar.

She turned her head and saw a lady in a black dress standing in front of the disk on the left. She was looking at Audrey with a gentle smile.

Audrey looked at the other person's face, and almost blurted out:

"Carlo..."

The lady interrupted her with a smile, and introduced herself:

"I'm the Fire Lady—the one who maintains the campfire and serves you."

"If you need help in finding the kings who abandoned their thrones, please call me."

"Eh?"

Audrey blinked, so Karula, do you also have a 'role' in this dream?
