As the palace door was pushed open, magic lamps lit up one after another on the pillars in the palace. Perhaps due to the passage of time, the energy of the magic lamps had weakened to the extreme, and the weak light could only barely illuminate the size of a palm.
A place that seems to be going out at any moment.
Lin Li and the two undead servants stood in front of the door with full vigilance for a moment, but they saw the figure sitting on the throne deep in the palace. Although it was constantly exuding a powerful aura, it seemed like a statue in the darkness.
He didn't move at all. Seeing this, Lin Li felt a little relieved. After all, if the other party was "alive", he might have alerted the other party when he and others pushed open the palace door.
Looking inside from outside the door, with the faint light of the magic lamp, I can vaguely see the entire palace. In fact, there is nothing interesting to see. Except for the dark figure sitting on the throne in the deepest part, the palace is empty.
There is nothing else superfluous.
Do you want to go in and take a look? Of course, we have come this far! Lin Li thought that he was also a legendary mage after all. Even if the thing inside was "alive", with his own strength and the trump card in his hand, at least he would not be defeated by the opponent.
Take it. Thinking of this, Lin Li took Uyfalusi and Nofeile, stepped on the extremely luxurious red carpet on the ground, and walked towards the palace.
In the faint light of the magic lamp, as Lin Li and others approached step by step, they could see clearly that the high platform supporting the throne was actually made of countless human bones. And the huge throne on the high platform
, is surprisingly made from the skeleton of a giant dragon. Although it has lost the appearance of a giant dragon, the dragon skull coiled in front of the throne clearly tells the visitor the origin of the throne.
Compared with the huge dragon skeleton throne, the figure of the man sitting on the throne seemed a little thin. However, in the eyes of Lin Li and others, they did not feel that there was any incompatibility between the two.
The man simply sat there, with his upper body straight and leaning forward slightly, holding a long sword in his right hand, and stepping on the giant dragon skull in front of him with one foot. Although he was motionless, he still had boundless power.
Spread out in all directions.
Especially Uyfalusi and Nofeile, although they blocked their bodies in front of Lin Li out of the responsibility of protecting their masters, their bodies still trembled slightly instinctively when they felt the powerful power. Undead
Among them, the effect brought about by the level gap is the most obvious. Even with so-called courage, the pressure of high-ranking people cannot be ignored no matter what.
Lin Li and others moved closer, and the face of the figure sitting on the throne gradually became clearer in their eyes. He had long silver-white hair, eyebrows like sharp swords, drooped eyelids, a straight nose and a wide mouth.
He was a man with an ashen complexion, who could be called a handsome man. He was wearing a dark golden full-body armor, with exquisite magic patterns painted on the armor, and the joints were decorated with ferocious one-horned demon skulls. Behind him was a scarlet red color.
The color of his cloak is like the color of coagulated blood. Against the backdrop of the pale white skeleton throne, it makes people even more frightened.
Feeling the aura exuded by that person, Lin Li remembered the experience of the Death Mark and the group of death knights he had taken under his command. Although the auras between the two were extremely different, he could still be sure that the person sitting on the throne was
The person above is a death knight. No, that powerful aura is definitely something that only legendary strong men can have. This one should be the legendary Knight of Scourge.
Greg never mentioned that there was actually a Knight of Scourge here. Lin Li did not doubt that Greg would harm him. Even though the fat old man screamed like a little bastard all day long, the concern inside him was still there.
There is no way it can be false. With Gregorian's concern for him, if there is even the slightest mention in that diary, he will tell him without any omission. Therefore, Gregorian did not say it, he can only explain that there is something in that diary.
It’s not recorded, it’s just that simple.
In fact, seeing a Scourge Knight here was both unexpected and reasonable. Along the way, there were undead creatures everywhere outside. It would be strange if there were no undead in this main hall. However, it is a Scourge after all.
The knight didn't know where his death knights were. If another group of death knights appeared, Lin Li would really have no choice but to escape.
Even though Lin Li subdued a group of death knights in the Scar of Death, the death knights led by the Scourge Knights are very different from those death knights who fight on their own. Although the death knights will automatically stop their own attacks after attaching themselves to the Scourge Knights.
Ascension, all the soul power obtained will be provided to the Scourge Knight. However, as the strength of the Scourge Knight increases, the Death Knight will also receive an increasing strength bonus during battle.
"Oh, it's the Scourge Knight, which is rare in Anriel Continent! Wait, this guy looks familiar..."
Lin Li was still guessing about the origin of the Scourge Knight on the throne, but a voice suddenly appeared in his mind. It was Connor Reese, the greatest soul merchant in history who claims to know everything.
Hearing Conneris say such words, Lin Li's heart suddenly jumped up. Who is Conneris? The ancient demon god who has existed for who knows how many years. He said that a guy who looks familiar can
Are they some ordinary cats and dogs?
"Have you seen him? Where is he?" Lin Li asked Conneris while looking warily at the Scourge Knight on the throne.
"Don't worry, let me think about it, where is it... This feeling... I must have seen it before..." Conneris racked his brains to recall, but after all, it was a long time ago, and he existed in a soul state
The time was too long, and the soul was still more or less damaged. For a moment, I really couldn't remember who the Scourge Knight was in front of me.
"Hey, do you remember? Whether you leave or stay depends on your words. Come on, tell me where this guy comes from." Lin Li asked impatiently, although he didn't know whether he was sleeping or something.
But after all, he was facing a Scourge Knight. Even as a legendary mage, he still felt quite pressured.
"It seems... I only remember that I saw him in Qingfeng Plains. As for more things, I really can't remember it for the moment." Conneris said with some distress. The ancient demon god has been reduced to this kind of situation.
It's so sad when I think about it.
"Knight of Scourge... Breeze Plains..." Lin Li muttered a few words, and suddenly remembered the secret that Hutton told him. A death knight obtained the arm of the Immortal King, and after being successfully promoted to Knight of Scourge, he led Death
The Knights swept across the Qingfeng Plain, causing a devastating disaster that reduced the population of the Qingfeng Plain by one-third.
Could it be that this person in front of him is the Knight of Scourge who turned Qingfeng Plain into a hell on earth? But wasn't he purified by Velen, the prophet of the Temple of Light, so why did he come to this place again? Lin Li had questions one after another.
One of them appeared, and at the same time told Conneris the secret story Hutton had told, hoping that hearing these things would remind him of something.
"Hutton once told me about the Scourge Knight before, but I heard from him that the Scourge Knight was later purified by Velen, the prophet of the Temple of Light. It shouldn't be like this." When Lin Li thought about it, the purification was done.
, of course it was burned to ashes with holy light, holy fire or the like, how could it still be sitting here acting like a statue?
Sure enough, after Lin Li's reminder, Conneris's memories poured out as if the floodgates had been opened. For a poor guy like him, the feeling of retrieving memories is always wonderful, especially when this memory can express himself
He said: "You are talking about the Knight of Scourge, Rodhart. When you put it like that, I think this guy does look a bit like him."
"You said his name is Rod Hart?" Lin Li felt a little interested. When Hutton told the secret, he didn't mention the name of the Scourge Knight. "What else do you know about this Rod?"
Hart's business."
What Conneris likes to do most now is to show off his knowledge to Lin Li. Especially after seeing Lin Li's monster-like improvement speed, he only has the knowledge accumulated in his long life.
He can prove his worth. "Speaking of this Rodhart, you will definitely not know what he did before. He is the most powerful paladin since the establishment of the Temple of Light..."
"Paladin! Are you saying that this Scourge Knight used to be a Paladin?" Lin Li looked at the motionless Scourge Knight on the throne in surprise. This world is really crazy. The high elves who hate the undead the most are fighting with the undead behind their backs.
There are various connections, and the Holy Knight of the Temple of Light actually turned into the Knight of Scourge who slaughtered innocent people and almost turned Qingfeng Plain into a place of death.
In the past, Conneris would talk to Lin Li from time to time in order to satisfy his vanity. But now, he did not dare to hold back at all, for fear of making Lin Li unhappy and reshape his body.
The wish was about to come true. So, without waiting for Lin Li to ask any more questions, he told everything he knew about Rod Hart in detail.
Rodhart's deeds have not been widely spread in Anriel Continent, but to Lin Li's ears, they are worthy of the word legend. The reason why he is not well-known in Anriel Continent is not only because of his age, but also because he thinks it is
Due to the methods of the Temple of Light, Rodhart transformed from a Paladin to a Knight of Scourge, which was too ironic for the Temple of Light.
Rodhart's life experience is simple to say, and his experience before becoming famous was as plain as a glass of water. He was adopted by the priest of the Temple of Light since he was a child, and together with his companions who were also orphans, he received the strictest education from the Temple of Light.
In any organizational force, such people who have been cultivated since childhood are the most reliable. Among forces outside of religion, they are called dead soldiers, and within religion, they are called fanatics. In the entire Temple of Light, the most reliable people are
It is impossible to betray this group of fanatics who have been cultivated since childhood. Their beliefs are firm and crazy. Therefore, most of the outstanding ones are selected by the Heretic Inquisition and become the sharp sword of the Temple of Light to wipe out heresy.
When Rodhart was fifteen years old, he passed the examination of the Inquisition and joined the Inquisition with several equally outstanding teenagers. During this period, the Inquisition was the most mysterious institution in the Temple of Light, and his deeds could be spread.
The ones that come out are even pitiful. The most are the records of participating in missions, which year and day they participated in the purification operation against a certain heresy, how many heretics were purified with their own hands, etc.
It was not until the age of thirty-two that Rodhart reached the legendary realm and took over the position of chief judge of the Inquisition of the Temple of Light, and he gradually began to be recognized by people. The first purification mission he led as the chief judge was
Purifying a legendary lich who possessed a skeleton dragon. In that mission, with almost no other moves, Rodhart single-handedly killed the lich and the skeleton dragon neatly with his sword, and he became famous from then on.
Great vibration.
Following several subsequent actions by the Inquisition to purify heretics, the young Chief Inquisitor showed strength and shocking strength, and was even called the strongest Paladin since the establishment of the Temple of Light. Rodhart
It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of his life, and his reputation in the outside world even exceeds that of the Pope. Countless people in the entire Temple of Light regard him as an idol.
"Oh, then why did he become a death knight again? Those guys from the Temple of Light probably have religious beliefs in their bones, so how could they become undead?" Lin Li asked strangely. The dignified referee of the Temple of Light
He is a fanatic who has been raised since childhood. I am afraid that even the bones are filled with the doctrine of light. How can he be transformed into an undead? Not to mention the chief judge, he is just an ordinary priest. As long as he has the faith of light in his heart
, are not easily converted into undead creatures.
"I don't know, what's so strange about this? No one can refuse the temptation of eternal life. The high elves are such a proud race, and they eventually went to study undead magic. For the Paladin, reaching the legendary realm is considered to be the
Having reached the peak of strength, there is basically no hope for the Holy Domain. If you want to make a breakthrough, you can only find other ways out." Conneris said with a tone full of disdain.
Rodhart once entered the Immortal King's tomb. Because the Immortal King was not a magician, he wanted to find a way to enter the holy realm from the Immortal King. No one knew that in the Immortal King's tomb, he had
What kind of experience he had, we only know that after he returned to the Temple of Light, he insisted on resigning from the position of chief referee, and never stepped out of the Temple of Light again.
Some people say that Rodhart received a revelation, so he stayed in seclusion for hundreds of years to seek a way to enter the Holy Realm. Others said that he was in seclusion to recuperate, and in the end he died of his injuries. In any case, this is the strongest paladin in the Temple of Light.
, a strong man in the legendary realm, news of his death finally came out after a hundred years. According to Rodhart's last wish, the Temple of Light buried him on the Breeze Plains, which is said to be the place where he stayed before being adopted.
