Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 43: Old fear

As expected, with the lights in the backyard, you can see that the empty ground is densely packed with skeletons and a small number of carrion corpses mixed in between.

Some of them diverged into the aisles and other places, and more gathered in the open space in an enveloping shape.

Lorton's figure had been submerged by the skeletons, and the sound of fighting from the encirclement indicated that he was fighting.

After the three of Thor signaled to each other, they began to advance in the direction where Luoton was.

Although the number of these skeletons is shocking, their body strength is not enough to see, and they also have a slower charging action when they swing their weapons. As long as they remain calm enough, it is not difficult to evade or parry.

After the initial panic, even Waller can now steadily wield his weapon to show a certain degree of combat power.

The three people used their hands and feet together, and soon tore a gap in the skull's wrapper.

Lorton stood among the broken bones on the ground, a piece of empty space around him, and he didn't know how many bones were lying down.

The slightly rapid breathing showed that he was not fighting easily. After all, his rampant wild power has become a meaningless physical exertion for these enemies that cannot be completely eliminated.

The four people stood back to back, facing in four directions in a cross shape.

The gap was quickly refilled, and the skeletons and carrion gathered around again like a sea tide.

Everyone deliberately did not want to face the carrion corpses, not because of fear, but mainly because they watched their rotten heads and brains far away from the beautiful and hideous appearance, and they can always evoke all kinds of negative emotions in people's hearts in an instant. mood.

Moreover, it is really disgusting to cut down a maggot that will inevitably be rotten flesh everywhere, and add a strange smell mixed with it.

Sol remembered that he had occupied a tomb during the famine, and wrapped the bones of someone in it and stuffed it somewhere else. He didn't know if that guy was standing in these skeletons now.

After taking care of their respective directions, the battle quickly became easier.

"Unexpectedly, the opportunity to fight side by side came so quickly." Lorton tilted his head and glanced at Saul.

Saul smiled and nodded, while Waller complained angrily:

"What the **** are these damned guys?"

"...The undead?" Shuggs's uncertain tone was both an answer and a question.

Suddenly hearing the term ‘undead’, Sol couldn’t help but jump around the corner of his eyes.

It is said that scholars have carried out long-term targeted research on the skeletons wandering in the cemetery, and even fierce disputes and discussions have erupted because of whether they should be defined as'undead', but everything is only spread in a small area. .

One of the more reliable claims is that the skeletons around the cemetery have no vital signs, no intelligence, no gang action, and no racial characteristics, so in the end they are just the title of a wanderer.

Shuggs may have heard a few words of rumors from somewhere, and at this moment will he rashly spit out the word undead.

Sweeping his gaze over the crowded enemies in front of him, Thor said:

"As far as I know, the real undead are zombies, owlheads, heart-eaters, vampires, and liches."

"Those forgotten horrors are the truly terrifying existences. They have wisdom no less than humans, and some are even better at thinking than humans."

"They wandered in the endless river of time, because they were separated from the boundaries of life and would not die naturally. Even in the face of battle, it is difficult to really kill them without special means."

"The skeletons and carrion in front of them don't seem to have self-awareness, they are more like being temporarily given the fighting instinct, so they can only be regarded as puppets, fighting tools, or some carriers of will."

After listening to Saul's words, the other three asked in unison at the same time, turning their heads.

"Some will? What do you mean?"

Obviously Saul's words reminded the three of them of things like evil gods for the first time.

"Necromancer."

"As far as I know, that is a relatively evil category among magicians, and it is also a public enemy of the entire continent."

"They can drive the bones of living creatures to fight for them, they can also summon evil dead spirits, and even kill living people to become their own fighting puppets. Every time a necromancer appears in history, it will set off a **** storm across the continent. "

"You mean what necromancer is hiding around now?"

Waller looked around in a startled tone, and even Lorton and Shuggs turned their heads subconsciously, as if someone was hiding in the dark, far away from the light and peering here, but they didn't see anything.

"This is just my guess. Driving the skeletons is not the exclusive method of the Necromancer, and it is said that they have been completely extinct at the beginning of the Lunar Calendar, and there is almost no record after entering the Dark Calendar."

After knocking out a pasted skeleton with a hammer, Thor continued:

"At the end of the ancient kingdom, the lord of the undead, Zacreen Nogador, came to the land and led the undead under his command to attack, and even the gods were bleak.

"Although the sun and moon were still shining in the sky at that time, people referred to that era as the'tragic era'."

"In that exquisite disaster where even the dead were not spared, the undead camps were all in place, and there were many guys who only existed in legends also appeared one after another, as if all the ancient evils are coming back at the same time."

"They summoned eagle souls and dragon corpses to cover the sky, and drove the bones of creatures all over the ground to follow suit."

"The continent of Salvinia has thus been dragged into a situation where all the people are at war. Humans and foreign races have to abandon their prejudices and fight side by side, achieving an unprecedented close unity."

"Later generations will call that huge force the'Holy Alliance'."

"It's a pity that in the face of endless enemies, even the boiling blood will drain."

"War has never lacked heroes, but more of them are dead people."

"When the fallen relatives and comrades in arms stood up again, joined the undead camp and turned to each other mercilessly. Even though people fought endlessly with tears and blood, the battle still slid into a disastrous defeat."

"Finally, the Lord of Light and the Lord of Undead died together, and the remaining gods worked together to seal the evil in a secret realm."

"In order to commemorate the fall of the Lord Guangming, the mainland has since entered the Guangming calendar from the Kingdom Calendar."

"Various races licked their wounds and thrived, and finally ushered in a new prosperous era. People called the early Guangli period the ‘excellent era’."

"At the end of the light calendar, after the fall of the lord **** of light, Gafriel, the dark **** Balek launched the war of the gods because of his coveting the lord god, and finally crowned the lord **** with a strong force."

"The mainland has thus entered the dark calendar, which is what we now call the'difficult times'."

What Sol is telling is the past history of the continent of Salvinia, which comes from an ancient book buried in the underground library of religious relics that has been buried for many years.

It's just that he didn't know that if he dared to mention this piece of history in a big city in the south, he would definitely be labeled a pagan.

Since the Dark Council ruled the southern border, the believers in the Temple of Light have been subjected to a series of **** and cold cleansing.

In order to ensure the stability of theocratic power, this dusty history has also become a taboo deliberately avoided by the Dark Council, a large number of documents in the relevant period have been destroyed, and all doubtful speeches have been stifled.

Even if scholars scrutinize this period of history, they dare not make some of their guesses or conclusions public, otherwise the crime of just one heretic will be enough to kill them.

Saul actually had deep doubts about that period of history.

Because in almost all beliefs about gods, gods are immortal and omnipotent, but in that holy war, it is said that in addition to the main **** of light, several gods have fallen one after another.

On the other hand, since the Lord of the Undead has the ability to resist the gods, does that mean that his power is above the gods, then what is the existence above the gods?

Some unfounded guesses had troubled Saul for a period of time, and in the end he could barely find an answer from other aspects.

History writers may beautify or vilify things because of the preferences or desires of each person, or they may hide some details according to the political atmosphere between the kingdoms at that time, or even distort history.

Of course, there must be writers who are honest and unbiased, but their truthful records are mixed in the history of the true and false versions, and who knows which version is true.

This is not what an orphan should care about. In the end, Sol had to put aside these **** questions and acquiesced to a conclusion.

History will never have the truth, because it was written by people.

Listening to Saul's narration, including Saul himself, a sense of dislocation of time and space suddenly emerged in the hearts of the four.

Facing the densely packed skeletons still surrounding them, as if they were standing in the center of the ancient battlefield many years ago, surrounded by the undead army.

That was the closest human being to extinction.

Although the four were not participants in that ancient nightmare, it did not prevent them from using their imagination to penetrate the heavy years and to think about the despair of corpses all over the wild.
