Chapter 22 The sphere of influence of monsters
"God of Death?" Zhao Qiankun raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He had heard of this person's fame for so long.
The ultimate undead creature that emerged decades ago was supposed to be a mythical great lich. With its incredible magical power, it created a huge undead legion that was a disaster in Sicarlo State.
Later, the Starry Goddess gathered the strongest combat power to launch a fierce attack on its headquarters, sacrificing many paladins but failed. In the end, thanks to Yongyao Island's help, he sent a team of legendary wizards and great magicians to kill him!
"Isn't the God of Death dead?" Zhao Qiankun blinked: "After all, I've called such a domineering name. I don't know if I'm living in that world..."
"It is indeed so publicized to the outside world..." Nicholas sighed: "But only those who participated in that battle knew that the God of Death was not annihilated!"
As he said that, Nikola's eyes drifted into the distance, as if he was recalling the battle back then.
"At that time, neither the Paladin nor the Holy Tribe mage, nor even the local masters of Sicarlo State had no experience in fighting against mythical monsters, and their estimates of the God of Death were seriously insufficient. In the last battle, the main force was basically the mage group of Yongyao Island! After several battles, this group of masters of the Magic Guild quickly confirmed a fact! This God of Death cannot be killed!"
"Can he really be the god of death?" Zhao Qiankun was a little dissatisfied: "There is still this life and death book? Once the name is hooked, you will live forever?"
"To be precise, our power was not enough to kill it at that time!" Nicholas shook his head and said, "This monster really grasped the true meaning of the magic of death! Death and life are inseparable! Even if we have magic at the forbidden spell level and powerful artifacts, even if we can defeat it, it is difficult to really kill it!"
"Then how did you kill it in the end?"
"In the end, the legendary master of Yongyao Island has provided a solution!" Nikola explained: "With the power of Dean Gerkin as the core, we work together to create a powerful magic scroll and hand it over to the most powerful star knight, approach the God of Death under the cover of the legendary mage, and use the magic of the scroll to exile him to a different space called the underworld!"
"In the end, I didn't fuck me to death, I just locked up a small dark room?" Zhao Qiankun curled his lips: "So now, the person has run out?"
"It's very likely!" Nikola nodded: "When the dean left, he received news from Yongyao Island. In the northwest of the winding sea, adjacent to the junction of the Northson Empire and the Ilion Empire, he detected the spatial fluctuations associated with the necrotic magic! According to the location, it should be related to the fluctuation a year ago, and this time it is clearer than before. Through comparison, it is very similar to the God of Death who was locked up decades ago!"
"So..." Zhao Qiankun stood up and walked to the mainland map hanging on the wall, raised his hand and pointed it at the waters northeast of Irion: "Gerkin, did you go here?"
"After the dean left, he sent me messages one after another!" Nicholas said: "According to his description, both the Silver Ridge Empire and the Ilion territory, the breath of undead creatures was discovered, but strangely, the Northen Empire sandwiched between them did not! And it was clear and completely unwarranted! It seemed like the division of the sphere of influence!"
"Most undead creatures are low-level idiots! They exuded dead energy wherever they go!" Zhao Qiankun curled his lips, "Even if only a few zombie skeletons pass by, the remaining aura will be noticed by legendary wizards in a few days! If there are some advanced existences in the Northon Empire who know how to hide aura, it may indeed keep the Dead Guild away!"
"But the question is, why is it just the boundary of the border?" Stanley frowned and said, "If it is a powerful existence that divides the sphere of influence, shouldn't it be an approximately circular area? The Northon Empire has a long and narrow territory. What monsters will divide a territory of this shape?"
"That means it's not a monster! It's a human!" Zhao Qiankun narrowed his eyes: "And, it's very likely that they were the top leaders of the Northon Empire! They reached a certain agreement with the Necrotic Guild in some way, so that the Death Qi would not contaminate their land!"
"Director Gerkin speculated the same way!" Nicholas said: "Similarly, there are similar phenomena on the dividing line between Silver Ridge and Lion Heart... and there are already problems with the Lion Heart Royal Family!"
"Director has indeed noticed it?" Zhao Qiankun nodded: "When was the last time Dean Geerkin contacted you?"
"Two weeks ago!" Nicholas said: "The dean had arrived at the reservation location at that time, and there was no news since then..."
"It seems very clear!" Zhao Qiankun smacked his lips: "Our dean should be drinking tea with Lord Death!"
"I'm not that pessimistic!" Nichola shook his head and said, "With the dean's ability, it should be no problem to use space magic to escape and protect himself... After he lost contact, I did not inform the Carent family, but quietly notified the mage guild. Yongyao Island replied that he would start investigating, but there is no news yet, and I am also very worried..."
"Don't worry, tell me, it's more reliable than telling the Magic Guild!" Zhao Qiankun looked at the map: "If I had known this location, I would have asked A Shuai to investigate it before!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the window!
"What's going on?" Stanley was startled, and Nicholas stood up: "The entire college area has a soundproof barrier, and this sound was made from the inside of the college!"
Zhao Qiankun opened the window and jumped out directly. Nicholas and Stanley followed closely behind and soon arrived at the place where the loud noise was made.
It was a tower, and the roof was smashed by something, and tiles and gravel were scattered all over the floor.
"It's quite powerful!" Stanley sighed: "The academy's buildings are all real materials! There are also enchantments!"
Zhao Qiankun raised his hand and pulled out a few branches, carried the three of them to the top of the tower, and finally found the culprit for the destruction from the rubble!
That was a corpse!
The body of a young woman!
She has a pretty face and luxurious clothes, and she obviously comes from a wealthy family. But looking at her expression, there seems to be a hint of joy under her bloody facial features?
"Is this... the third princess?" Nicholas recognized the woman's identity!
Zhao Qiankun was stunned when he heard this. After careful examination, he really looked familiar. This should be the third daughter of Emperor Reinhardt. At the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhao Qiankun had seen her. He should be a shy lady, how could he die here?
