Chapter 382 The Living Dead Joey
Joey is a thief in Bingling City in the Northern Kingdom, or to be more correct, he is the best thief in Bingling City and even the entire Northern Kingdom.
The reason why I say this is not because of how brilliant his stealing skills are. In fact, his stealing ability can only be regarded as middle-class among the Northern Kingdom Thieves Alliance, and is no different from other ordinary thieves. The reason why he can be recognized as a thieves
The best thief in the Northern Kingdom is because he was able to enter the royal city ruled by the gods and bring back the items from the royal city alive.
This incident caused quite a stir in the Thieves Alliance. He also changed from an ordinary thief stationed on the street all year round to a high-level executive in the Thieves Alliance. The only thing he had to do was to enter the Royal City every month to get
An item with obvious characteristics of the royal city.
Joey, who enjoys power and wealth, is naturally unwilling to give up everything he has gained. Even if he knows how dangerous the royal city is and that he may not be able to come back the next time he enters, he is still willing to take the risk. At the same time, his subconscious also feels that he
My home should be in the royal city, not in this war-torn world.
Regarding the situation of the royal city, the king and ministers in the northern kingdom, as well as the common people, are not very clear. They only know from ancient books that it was once a city controlled by the gods, and there was a powerful kingdom there. This kingdom is a country of all countries. Whatever
Sending a team of knights can wipe out the entire world.
I don’t know when the gods gave up on the royal city. Without the blessing of the gods, the royal city also entered decline. After a civil war, the royal city completely disappeared from the world. I don’t know where it went. Some people say that the royal city was given away by the gods.
After taking it away, some people said that the royal city had been destroyed by the civil war. In short, the land where the royal city was previously turned into a huge bottomless pit.
For all the countries on the continent, the disappearance of the royal city is not a bad thing, but a very good thing, because in this way, the sharp sword that is weighing on the heads of all countries is removed, and all countries can do their best.
There is no need to worry about Wang Cheng's opinion. They can do whatever they want.
The first thing all countries did was similar, which was to provoke neighboring countries, start wars, and expand their territories. In an instant, the war swept the entire continent, and no country was spared.
A large number of wars are naturally accompanied by a large number of deaths, and these extremely shocking casualty figures have long been expected by the high-ranking kings and ministers, so the deaths did not slow down the pace of the war.
However, what death cannot do, the living dead can do.
It is unknown where the first living dead appeared. It was probably on the battlefield, because so many people died on the battlefield, and only then could the living dead be produced.
Although the time and place when the living dead first appeared is unknown, the impact of the living dead was very great. During the period when they first appeared, all wars on land stopped, as if the war pause button had been pressed.
Burning the living dead was the only method used by various countries to treat the living dead at that time. Even though each of the living dead retained their wisdom in life and could speak like normal people, they also needed to eat and drink.
However, high-level officials from various countries soon discovered that burning the living dead could not fundamentally solve the problem, because the living dead who were burned to death would soon be resurrected somewhere near where they were killed, as if they had not been harmed in any way.
Most people were troubled when they saw this situation, but a few countries whose population had been drastically reduced due to war saw another way to save themselves from the kingdom, so they secretly collected and captured the living dead in various countries on the mainland.
, and then incorporated these living dead into the army and trained them into a living dead army, which was used in the most dangerous and difficult battles.
Because of the immortality of the living dead and the fact that the nerves in their bodies have failed and they cannot feel pain, these living dead fight extremely fiercely. They almost all use crazy fighting methods of exchanging lives for lives, destroying the main force of the enemy.
, the astonishing result of capturing the enemy's capital also heralded the entry of the living dead army into the history of war on the mainland.
Almost at the same time, the living dead that everyone was shouting for beating a moment ago became the favorites in the eyes of the top leaders of various countries. They were summoned from all over the place and formed into armies. They replaced ordinary soldiers and became the main force for a long time.
The main force in the continental war for a period of time.
However, the good times did not last long. After several years of war, almost all armies of the living dead had been exterminated at least once, and the living dead with the most deaths had even died dozens of times. Suddenly one day, an army member died.
The largest number of living dead died in the war again, and suddenly lost their minds and attacked all visible living creatures crazily.
The power of this crazy living dead has also become extremely huge, so huge that even an entire garrison of fifty people cannot withstand it. The more important point is that this crazy living dead has been tortured by countless people.
After being killed, he will be resurrected and continue to kill all visible life. The only way that can be thought of is to tie up this living dead.
Just like what happened after the first living dead appeared on the continent, after the first crazy living dead appeared, some crazy living dead also appeared in the living dead armies of various countries on the continent.
It was only then that the top leaders of various countries realized that the living dead was not a good medicine given by the gods to continue the war, but a cup of poison that was enough to destroy all countries and all life.
For this reason, all countries had to stop the ongoing war and sit together to discuss how to solve this almost unsolvable problem. However, the never-ending war on the continent once again subsided. This time, the reason for the subsidence of the war is still
The living dead.
After a series of discussions, think tanks from various countries soon came up with a temporary solution, which was to build a giant prison next to the bottomless abyss where the royal city was originally located, and imprison all the living dead there.
When the dead go crazy, they throw the living dead into the bottomless abyss, and then nothing happens.
This solution was quickly adopted by the top leaders of various countries and implemented. However, the army of the living dead, which was previously regarded as the most precious treasure of the country, once again became a state where everyone shouted for beatings. All the living dead were imprisoned until they were named.
In the huge prison of the Undead Yard. Of course, not all the living dead are willing to be imprisoned. Some people choose to hide and escape, and some choose to resist directly, but in the end these methods are ineffective. The escaped living dead are specially
The hunting party that captures the living dead pursues them, but the living dead who resist directly cut off their hands and feet, make them into adult pupae, and send them to the Institute of the Undead, where life is worse than death.
Joey is also a living dead. Of course, such people are now called embers. After he was discovered to be an undead, he was caught and imprisoned in the undead hospital.
Different from the cruel rules of the earliest Undead Asylum, the current Undead Asylum is divided into several areas. As long as the imprisoned living dead do not escape and cause trouble, they will be placed in ordinary living areas.
The living area of the Immortal Yard is not much different from the outside. Things that can be bought outside can also be bought here. As for the money required for purchase, you have to complete some not-heavy tasks assigned by the caretaker, such as weaving hemp rope, etc.
Wait, as long as you complete the tasks on time, you can get some monetary compensation, and then use the money to buy needed items, and this also makes this place like a small closed city.
As for those unruly living dead, their hands and feet will be cut off, their heads will be put on shackles, their bodies will be tied up, and they will be made into adult pupae and sent to the most terrifying human pupa prison in the Immortal Yard for storage until they are imprisoned.
When you are completely crazy and thrown into a bottomless pit, it makes no difference to the prison administrator whether it is the undead themselves who are crazy or whether they are driven crazy by them.
When Joey knew that he was a living dead, he had already fallen into despair. He had no idea of escaping, and only wanted to carry him in prison until he was thrown into a pit because of his madness.
However, one day when Joey was completing a cell cleaning task assigned by the manager of the living area, while cleaning the room of a living dead scholar who was thrown into a pit because of his madness, he accidentally discovered a very beautiful...
Ring. At that time, he didn't care much about the ring. He just thought it was a windfall and carried it on his hand.
Not long after, he got involved in a fight. Using some techniques he learned on the streets, he defeated three or four opponents in a row. And he found that every time he defeated an opponent, a cool air would come from the ring on his hand.
.
At this time, he felt something unusual about the ring, so he was full of curiosity and wanted to see what the ring was, so he participated in almost every fight in the prison and solved it every time.
He had several opponents, and for a while he also gained quite a reputation in the Immortal Academy.
After killing more than 20 living dead, the shape of the ring changed from an exquisite ring to a weird silver ring. The reason why the shape was weird was because the ring was a ring with a ring.
There is a tail snake, and this snake is different from other snakes. It is a strange snake with blood-red eyes, long ears, and big fangs.
While the shape of the ring changed, he also obtained a piece of information from the ring, which was how to use the ring, but this piece of information did not include the effects of using the ring.
And when he plucked up the courage to try to use the ring according to the instructions, he was surprised to find that he was no longer in the Immortal Academy, but on the streets of a majestic city.
The majesty of this city and the beauty of its architecture cannot be described in words. It is no exaggeration to say that even the capital of the Northern Kingdom looks like a city just built by a dozen homeless people.
Temporary shelter.
This was only the outermost part of this huge city. He looked up and found that the city had many layers. The buildings on each layer were more exquisite than the previous one. The city at the top had already reached the clouds.
, although he couldn't see it clearly, he could imagine that the city was probably so exquisite that it was unparalleled.
At this time, Joey also quickly realized that this was the legendary royal city built, ruled, and finally abandoned by the gods, and he also discovered that at this moment, his body had become like those of the living dead who were going crazy, all of their bodies were as thin as
Firewood, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
After that, Joey quickly discovered the benefits of the changes in his body, because this beautiful city was filled with all kinds of living dead, and they were all crazy living dead, but his body now became peaceful
There is no difference between other living dead, so when he walked in this city, he was not attacked and was not in danger.
Joey did not stay in the royal city for too long. After he found some exquisite items with obvious royal city marks, he used the ring to leave the royal city and took away the found items.
However, after leaving the Royal City, he did not return to the prison of the Immortal Academy, but appeared on the outskirts of a secluded town in the Northern Kingdom. This situation made him panic immediately, because based on the current situation,
He will definitely be defined as having escaped from prison, and the only outcome for a living dead who escapes from prison is to be made into a pupa and sent to that terrible place.
Joey did not panic when he discovered the problem. He quickly thought of a solution, which was to return to the Thieves Alliance and use the royal city items on hand to exchange for the protection of the Thieves Alliance.
The development of the matter was just as Joey thought. The profit-seeking Thieves Alliance was naturally unable to resist the huge wealth brought by the royal city's items. Even though he knew that his actions might bring a lot of trouble to the Thieves Alliance, he did not care.
, they have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the endless wealth created by Joey.
For this reason, the hunters they paid to capture the living dead made another living dead into a human chrysalis and sent it to the prison to replace Joey's identity, name and position.
In addition, Joey also became a high-ranking member of the Thieves Alliance because of his relationship with the Royal City. Even though he, as a high-level executive, did not have a lot of power and was restricted in his scope of activities, he had to go to the Royal City every month to get the Royal City Mark.
However, he felt that his current life was much better than in prison, and he naturally hoped that this kind of life could last forever.
However, as the number of people he entered the Royal City increased, his mentality gradually changed. He felt that he was very comfortable in the Royal City, much more comfortable than he was in Bingling City, even though he could not enjoy the power and power here.
The pleasure brought by money, but here it can slightly relax his always tense nerves.
In this regard, he has already made a decision in his mind. After this mission is over, he will try to get some necessary items for life to the Royal City, intending to live in the Royal City for a long time, while Bingling City is used by him as a place to replenish supplies.
, no longer intends to continue living there under the surveillance of the Thieves Alliance.
Many past experiences in searching the royal city have given Joey a clear idea of which rooms in the surrounding buildings contain valuable and useful items, and which buildings are just empty shells. Just like the villa he is going to now, which is located next to the forest, it is a villa that should have valuable items.
