The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 673 Dust to Dust, Earth to Earth

Such a clear sense of dread.

That extremely strong, extremely cold shivering feeling traveled all over his body, as if icy liquid was poured into his blood vessels—it was the cold from the inside out.

Laziness paralyzes the muscles of the body, and despair blocks thought.

One can tell at a glance that it is the skeleton male deity.

He just stood there, and let the players try their best to barely turn around——

Longjing Cha's pupils shrank slightly.

What came into view was the skeleton of a giant that looked to be three meters high.

But it is completely different from the "thin and dry bones" that players saw when they first saw the skeleton.

He still wears a long white cashmere cloak, a pure white triple crown on his head, and a golden weeping mask on his face.He also still wears heavy white metal boots on his feet, and thick white leather gloves reminiscent of bear paws on his hands.

But at this moment, He opened his cloak to both sides.

The bone that was originally like a dead soul, thin enough to look like a shadow, and seemed to disappear at any time, was replaced by a thick and unshakable armor that was as towering as a rock.

The crown on His head seemed a bit old, and the mask on his face was the same, with a little more dark marks.And on His well-maintained pure white armor, there were also some scars.

It looks like a real paladin.

It's not the Lord of the Undead who is the Skeletal Lord.

But the paladin who died in the bloody battle with the undead—

so ironic.

"I recognize you..."

The old and deep voice of Skeleton Lord sounded from under the golden mask: "Annan's servant..."

Perhaps it was because the interior of the armor was empty, so there was a strange echo.

Seeing that Skeleton Lord didn't seem to have the desire to attack them, Longjing Tea was relieved.

For a moment before, he thought it was a stray child who destroyed the ritual field of Lord Skull, so he directly parachuted over to take revenge and guard the high ground...

"Don't worry. I saw that you didn't destroy the peace of the dead..."

As if he had read Longjing Cha's thoughts, Mr. Skull gave him a vacant glance, and let out a sigh-like sound.

Longjing tea didn't meet the eyes of Lord Skeleton.

Because the crying face mask didn't leave enough holes to expose the eyes - it's not so much a mask, it's better to say it's a metal plate that has been branded on the face like a clown with a fixed expression.

Seeing that Mr. Bones didn't attack them immediately, the players immediately cheered up.

...So, this is a yellow-named NPC?

As long as you don't take the initiative to attack, you shouldn't be an enemy, right?
That would be great...

Longjing Cha breathed a sigh of relief.

In his panic just now, he thought he was about to be beaten by Mr. Bones...

Maybe it's because it's actually Chocolate's body, or it's simply because Skeleton doesn't have a strong sense of oppression against animals.The first one to wake up from the shock was Dove in the form of a serval cat.

She walked up to Skeletal Lord, boldly wrapping around his legs.

With the growth of Chocolate, Dove is now a big cat with a height of more than half a meter-her size and the attribute increase from the body feedback are already enough to easily hunt and kill humans.

It can be said that three fighters of the same level may not be able to defeat this cat.

But in front of the skeleton man, who is twice as tall as the Yaselan people, Dove looks like an ordinary pet cat.

The skeleton man glanced at her, but didn't kick her away.Instead, he looked deeply at the homeless children.

"Elf..."

He whispered with nostalgia: "I haven't seen it for a long time. The ring of the elves."

"...Have you ever seen this thing?"

It was the street children themselves who spoke.He asked nervously: "This is... the inheritance I got from the remains of the elves."

"Naturally. In my time, the ring was the glory."

Skeletal Lord still spoke in the form of short sentences.

Not because he couldn't utter more coherent words.

It's just that he really doesn't talk much... when it comes to "modern" grammar, he has to figure out how to say it.

"The elves worship the ring. For the elves are the people of the snake."

Gong Gu replied calmly: "The will of the snake exists in all the circles."

He raised his hand and made a gesture casually.

There is no appearance of curse patterns, or even fluctuations of curses.The steps on the ground melted again automatically—as if going back in time, they returned to a wall without a door.

The only difference is that the dispersed dust did not gather again.

The skeleton man didn't continue to explain the elf's question, but turned around.

"follow me."

he said.

When the voice fell, he no longer hesitated.

He went deeper, darker and darker.Dove immediately followed the skeleton man—the cat body shone with shattered light, and followed the giant lightly, illuminating the path for others.

His heavy metal boots should not have the creaking sound of snow when they stomp on dust.In other words... Judging from the three-meter-high body of the bone bone, I am afraid that there should only be the sound of a huge iron block roaring to the ground.

He should bring a heavy and irreversible oppression like a steamroller.

but……

Longjing Cha took a deep look at Mr. Skull.

Does this extremely soft sound mean that he doesn't want to destroy the ground here?

Or because there is only a string of bones left inside the thick armor...

With a thought in his heart, he took two steps forward and asked boldly: "Mr. Bones...do you need us to clean up the dust here?"

"No need."

Without turning his head, Skeleton let out that low, echoing old voice: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..."

It was a sound like a sigh.

Players follow a huge paladin one story high.

The light shining from Serval's body refracted on the metal armor, emitting a dazzling radiance.But the lights are still too little and too dim—so much so that the shadows cast on the larger body area of ​​the skeleton appear darker than the darkness.

People walked in silence.

Through one after another also silent tombs.

Obviously there are no undead here, but Longjing Cha still feels chills down its spine.

That is the sense of vicissitudes that you can't feel when you visit the places of interest in the past.

——It is "popularity".

Longjing tea quickly captured that feeling.

The ancient cities he visited had a history far older than the Principality of Sangsong...but they were far less terrifying than these tombs.Because on the edge of the "ancient city", you can always see "not so ancient" surrounding buildings.

It was the fear of peeking into the cracks of history—like falling deeper into the cracks of the world.

Funeral song This is not so much an ancient city as an ancient tomb.

One by one, a group of small garage-like buildings lay quietly under the city.It might be by family tree, or by marriage or partnership...

Looking at the tombs one by one, Longjing Tea seemed to see the giants of the former Principality of Sangge in a trance. They were extremely calm—maybe even talking and laughing to decide where they should be buried after death and who should be next to them. .

Then they entered the covered tomb in an orderly manner, took the poison, and waited for others to seal their "lids".

……but.

Logically speaking...shouldn't these corpses be pulled into the body of Skeletal Lord?

"This is my hometown."

Suddenly, without warning.

The skeleton spoke openly.

"This is where I was born and died. It is where I died and was born again."

Like every old man who misses his hometown and old relationship, he tells the stories of the past to young people who are not familiar with him.
