Torento stared at the side, fully understanding what Li Ziyu and the Black Warrior meant. Even though he had experienced it personally, and even went to the Temple of the Dead where he took the Black Warrior, he still didn't understand.
After asking about the Black Warrior, Li Ziyu looked at Torento and asked him, "Do you know about the Undead?"
Torento shook his head and said, "I don't know if the undead race is the holy corpse you are talking about?"
What the hell is a holy corpse?
Li Ziyu frowned and then asked, "Then do you know who built the temple?"
Toronto knew this question very well. It was a simple common sense question. He answered without hesitation, "It was the Holy Corpse that built the temple. The temple cares for every citizen of the Holy Corpse and gives us
Shelter gives us safety so that evil spirits cannot get close to us, and their people can recuperate and have children.”
It's said with a fluency, as if it has been recited countless times, and it comes right out of the mouth, like a believer reciting a doctrine.
Li Ziyu understood that the holy corpses Torento mentioned were probably the undead tribe that built the Temple of the Dead.
The ancestors of Torento are descendants of the undead tribe. They must have a deep relationship with each other and respect the undead very much, so they call the undead the holy corpse. It is hard to say whether Toronto really respects the undead, but there are indeed some things that have been spread since that time.
It can be seen from the way he spoke a long paragraph so fluently.
The Black Warrior said that he did not feel the breath of the undead in the city, but Li Ziyu still planned to ask again, "Have you seen the holy corpse?"
Torento shook his head again and said with a wry smile, "Don't mention me, even my father has never seen the true appearance of the holy corpse. It is said that there is a holy corpse in the temple, but it has never appeared in front of us.
, at least no one here has seen the holy corpse."
Well, it seems that someone in the city knows that the "Guardian Guards" and "Heroic Spirit Skeletons" are sleeping in the Temple of the Dead.
Li Ziyu moved his body to a slightly more comfortable position, and then asked, "Do you want to see the holy corpse?"
Torento was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
He is not an admirer of the holy corpse, and he has no pursuit of the holy corpse. But if he can see the legendary supreme being, why not see it?
The reason why nobles are nobles is not simply because they are born with noble status, but also because they know more than others.
Compared with the common people who work hard to fill their stomachs every day, the nobles are more enthusiastic about seeing the world and trying to understand all the secrets.
Many secrets are hidden in history, and history has experienced gaps for unknown reasons.
Just like Toronto and the others, nobles all know that there is a temple in the city that has existed for countless years, and that the temple is closely related to the holy corpse, but no one knows what the holy corpse is.
Li Ziyu looked at the Black Warrior and indicated that he could take off his helmet.
Torento subconsciously followed Li Ziyu's line of sight and looked at the Black Warrior, and saw the burly heavy-armored warrior grabbing his helmet and slowly taking it off with a click.
When he saw the face under the helmet, Torento's pupils shrank sharply, his body trembled with fear, his legs became weak, he subconsciously took two steps back, fell to the ground, and stretched out his fingers tremblingly,
Pointing at the Black Warrior, his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't speak.
It was a ferocious skull with jagged fangs, and the exposed bones were covered with scars. It seemed like a veteran who had survived countless wars. Through the empty eye sockets, you could see the depths of the skull.
Burning blue flames.
Torento, who fell to the ground, didn't know how to describe the "thing" in front of him, and he couldn't even determine whether this guy was alive.
Why a skeleton?
What about the burning flame?
He is obviously a skeleton, why can he still move?
Countless doubts and fears arose in Torento's heart, making his mind seem to be in a mess.
"You, you, you...I...he..." Torento's pupils trembled violently, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence. His eyes kept wandering around the Black Warrior and Li Ziyu.
Darth Vader itself can bring pressure and fear, and coupled with the sudden sight, Torento can barely make a sound, which is already very good.
Li Ziyu clicked her lips, indicating that the Black Warrior could put on his helmet.
With a click, the Black Warrior pressed the helmet back again, but it was obvious that Torento had been greatly impacted. Even though the skull in front of him had disappeared, he still looked frightened.
"As you can see, this is the holy corpse in your mouth."
Just when Torento was losing consciousness due to fear, Li Ziyu's voice came and he regained his consciousness a little.
Holy corpse...
Holy corpse!
I see.
No wonder!
Torento suddenly understood.
"The real name of the holy corpse you are talking about is the undead." Li Ziyu leaned against the wall and whispered softly. He really didn't dare to speak loudly because his ribs hurt.
Torento looked at Li Ziyu intently, and he finally came to his senses.
No one else knows the true appearance of the Holy Corpse, but the person in front of him not only knows it, but also regards the Holy Corpse as a subordinate. So who is this person and what is his status?
He asked with a trembling voice, "Who are you?"
Li Ziyu smiled and said, "I am their king and your lord."
Li Ziyu was very calm and confident when she said this.
He has taken in several dependent races, and has signed soul contracts several times, so he is very familiar with the terms within them.
For humans, there is generally no way to actively sign a soul contract. At best, it is a blood contract, which is far less binding than a soul contract. After all, blood will be diluted.
But the soul contract is different, this can't even be called a contract, it can be regarded as a curse!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is a curse that acts on the soul, and its binding force is extremely powerful.
Most of the relatives of the undead are die-hard loyalties. Unless the relatives are willing to be loyal, there is really nothing they can do.
The blood contract can be broken because the blood is diluted, but the soul contract is powerful. This thing will split. Those who have signed the soul contract will automatically have the mark of the contract in their children's souls and become dependents of the undead.
There are endless descendants.
Unless the undead take the initiative to break the contract, or practice to become a lich or a ghost who is very proficient in soul energy, there is no chance to break the soul contract.
When they were outside, the Black Warrior had already activated Torento's soul contract. As the master of the Black Warrior and the controller of the undead bones, Li Ziyu could naturally activate the soul contract easily.
Torento looked at Li Ziyu dumbly, this sentence is so accurate, I don’t even know how to answer it, why did he become my master?!
He smiled awkwardly and asked in confusion, "Sir, I, I really don't understand what you mean."
Li Ziyu sighed and said, "It seems you really don't know your identity."
Torento shook his head like a rattle, "I don't know."
This guy doesn't look very smart. Things have come to this point and he still doesn't understand anything. Li Ziyu rolled his eyes and said, "Your identity is a descendant of the undead. Do you understand now?"
"don't know!"
Torento shook his head even more happily.
Li Ziyu was too lazy to explain to him anymore, and directly waved his hand, activating the ancient soul contract in Torento.
At the moment the contract was activated, Li Ziyu no longer looked injured and weak in Torento's eyes, but was full of majesty, and even a single glance felt like a blasphemous existence.
Torento couldn't help but kneel to the ground and put his head on the ground, not daring to take another look.
"Do you understand now?"
"I understand, you are my master!"
At this moment, a message came from Torento's soul, allowing him to truly understand Li Ziyu's words "I am their king, your lord". The other party was really not just talking casually and taking advantage of words.
The real "lord" is the one who has the power of life and death, and can live and die at a single thought.
My life is already in other people's hands.
Toronto didn't dare to mean any disrespect.
Li Ziyu then released the soul contract and returned Torento to normal.
Even without the constraints of the contract, Torento still knelt on the ground respectfully, not daring to raise his head.
"Tell me about this place. You said you are a Mu Shou. Mu Shou is an official. What is your rank in this city?" Li Ziyu asked softly.
Torento knelt on the ground and said in a muffled voice, "Reporting to the master, there is a city lord, four pastors, and a priest of the holy corpse in the city. We are also called the six giants, but the holy corpse has not appeared for a long time, and the holy corpse has not appeared for a long time.
The corpse priest has lost its former glory and exists in name only. There is no longer a holy corpse priest in the city."
Ha, so the status of this guy in front of me is quite high, I thought he was just a minor official.
Li Ziyu nodded secretly and activated the soul contract. Torento was one of his own. He could not betray or harm himself. He was completely trustworthy.
Li Ziyu didn't know anything about this world. Since Torento's status was not low, it was just right to ask him, "I just came here and I'm not familiar with it yet. Tell me about this city."
"Yes, Master, this city is called Sundburg City. It is under the jurisdiction of Lord Zelos Hartman of the Kingdom of Leon. There are about 100,000 people in the city, including 1,000 defenders and 3 trained serf soldiers.
There are more than a thousand people, and there are three knight nobles below..."
As if pouring beans, Torento told Li Ziyu the actual situation of Sundburg City, not only the city defense, but also the military strength, even the escape routes, and who-knows-where Hartman heard it from.
The lord gossiped.
Li Ziyu nodded from time to time while listening. Torento explained in detail and he was very satisfied.
After Torento finished speaking, Li Ziyu asked a question that he was very concerned about, "What about the Byron vampire, um, the blood-sucking monster you talk about?"
Torento did not dare to hesitate and said quickly, "Master, vampire monsters have existed for a long time. They live in caves in the wild and are extremely numerous. Under the protection of the temple, they dare not attack the city wantonly.
If you dare to sneak into the city at night to arrest people, you usually arrest poor people."
Sonderborg is a city built around the Temple of the Dead. Nobles, wealthy businessmen, and powerful dignitaries must live in the city center, which is very close to the Temple of the Dead. Not only do they have a large number of private soldiers, they also have
Being more protected by the Temple of the Dead, Byron vampires naturally dare not approach casually.
The poor live in the outskirts of the city or in the suburbs. The protective power of the Temple of the Dead is already very weak when it extends here, it can even be said to be almost non-existent. Moreover, the poor have difficulty eating, let alone fighting power. Byron vampires will naturally
Choose to come here to arrest people.
According to Toronto, transportation in this world is inconvenient. Because of the existence of Byron vampires, the wilderness is particularly dangerous, especially at night, so the flow of information becomes very difficult. Many people may never leave the city in their entire lives.
If there is nothing particularly important, most people will stay in the city.
Outside the city are mostly slaves, poor people, farmers, or caravans and mercenaries.
Needless to say, slaves, poor people, and farmers were forced by the situation and it was almost impossible to live in the city. Slaves and farmers were responsible for farming and supplying food for the city.
The poor are the ones the city throws out to death to feed the Byron vampires, so that the Byron vampires cannot forcefully attack the city because they are hungry.
Caravans are the main way of communication between cities. Every time you go on a business trip, you have a narrow escape. Many caravans have disappeared into the wilderness. Although each caravan is equipped with a large number of guards, it still cannot resist the wild beasts and monsters.
Or beings like Byronic vampires.
Mercenaries are different from them. Mercenaries generally have good combat effectiveness. They obtain resources and money by going out to hunt in the city and completing tasks. This is done voluntarily. Of course, the casualties are also very serious.
After figuring out the Byron vampire, Li Ziyu asked again, "How many people like you are there in the city?"
"This..." Torento hesitated.
"Huh?" Li Ziyu snorted, causing Torento's body to tremble.
"Master, I really don't know. If it weren't for your manifestation, I wouldn't even know my identity." Torento explained very quickly.
This is telling the truth. He doesn’t know what his ancestral pendant means, nor does he know that there is still a soul contract on him. The undead has disappeared for a long time, and the holy corpse has become a legend. The holy corpse was once one of the six giants. The priests have become nothing in name only, how can he know what's going on?
Li Ziyu thought about it and was right. She was a little embarrassed, so she changed the direction and asked, "How many nobles have such pendants?"
Torento said without hesitation, "This pendant is an ornament passed down from the temple. Although the types of ornaments are different, most old nobles have them."
All the old nobles have them.
If there are no accidents, the old nobles should all be dependents.
Li Ziyu was excited. If he could capture all the nobles of Sonderburg, it would be of great help in finding the Castle of the Undead.
"Okay, Torento, you can go out now, I need to rest." Li Ziyu waved his hand. After talking for so long, he really couldn't bear it. The environment here is so bad that the fracture has begun to hurt.
As if he had received an amnesty, Torento moved out on his knees. When he reached the door, he stood up carefully. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped again and asked in a low voice, "Master, I can go find a magic potion for your healing, or Ask a magician to come over and help you heal."
Li Ziyu was immediately overjoyed and said to him, "I need magic potion. Don't let the magician come over for the time being. I need to recover as soon as possible."
Seeing that he could help Li Ziyu, Torento immediately became happy and said repeatedly, "Master, please wait here for a moment. I will buy the magic potion and bring it to you soon."
"Well, Torento, you are very good."
Li Ziyu nodded with satisfaction and watched him leave quickly.
After Torento left, fatigue came over him. Li Ziyu carefully lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
