Chapter 397 The Past of Uzzah
They killed James Sheffield and buried him.
Milo's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this information.
"Yes, why are you fighting to the death for a cave? Wouldn't it be simpler and more convenient to just kill the person and bury him?"
Milo, who is a psychic, responded to this But it's all too familiar.
Peeping of the Undead - The first skill that a psychic will acquire after exiting the nightmare stage, reading the souls of the dead.
This is also the fundamental reason for the life-and-death survival style of conjugate hunting among psychics, which is similar to the law of the dark forest.
It is not difficult to imagine the final group of visionaries who started the war reading James Sheffield's undead perspective one by one at the grave.
However, Milo's words once caused Marshall to lose control of his emotions:
"Sheffield is the fundamental reason for the fall of Ursa! Why do you think those psychics have to bother so much? Why don't you just kill Sheffield? Because it was us who were protecting him! Sheffield once rescued our people, so we took over the war for him!" br>
"I want to know if there was no time difference between the two worlds, would you kill him immediately after I brought you back here?"
"Really!?"
......
The hair all over Marshall's body suddenly stood up, his voice became sharp and harsh, his pupils widened, and he asked Milo loudly.
This was the first time Milo was pointed at his nose and yelled at by a cat.
He didn't feel offended at all, just a little confused.
Because Marshall was right, if that were the case, his first choice might really be to kill Sheffield and bury him. And this choice may have allowed Marshall to put Milo into the same camp as the visionaries who started the war and slaughtered his people.
At a certain moment, Milo felt that Marshall's eyes were not entirely full of indignation and collapse. There was even a hint of hidden fear in the way it looked at him.
It is afraid of Milo.
In other words, it is afraid of its actions, because if it is still at war, then it is equivalent to attracting a spirit to its people that is comparable to the old rulers. A viewer-level opponent...
Of course, more fear comes from the indifference to ordinary life that Milo gradually showed.
As Marshall said before, his soul, his subconscious has begun to show a disdainful attitude towards weak life. This indifference is not subjective and deliberate, but It is a normal phenomenon caused by the huge gap in life classes.
He has never known what kind of person the scholar named James Sheffield is, and he doesn’t seem to want to know about it. He just plainly and intuitively believes that killing and burying him is the most direct way. Effective means, this is the attitude of the old rulers and even the old gods and outer gods towards low-level civilizations.
It’s just that Milo himself hasn’t realized this yet.
……
The fact is that Milo really didn't think that much.
He only felt that Marshall's behavior of getting angry at himself under a hypothetical premise was a bit outrageous, but it was not incomprehensible.
Milo attributed its collapse and indignation to the fact that it had just learned that 170 years had passed since the war.
Anyone facing such a fact would have a breakdown, right? Not to mention a cat.
He thought calmly that if he had known that Sheffield was a friend of the cats, he would not have made the choice to kill him so straightforwardly, right?
"Calm down, calm down."
Milo pressed his hand to signal Marshall to control his emotions.
“You are a cat that is over a hundred years old after all. How about you be calmer?”
Probably feeling that there is no need to break up with Milo, Marshall turned his head and returned. into autistic state.
Seeing that their quarrel was over, Pickman spoke again:
"That's it, Mr. Varrokan, the Enchanted Forest... no, to be precise, all the tombs in the entire western continent. After a long enough time, when the owner of the tomb is no longer remembered by anyone on the surface, Sometimes, for some reason, they will sink here, the final destination of the forgotten tombs, Xin’s Tombs.”
“In other words, James Sheffield’s tomb is here now?” Luo instantly saw hope, but at the same time, he also wondered why Pickman would go in such a big circle to talk about this matter.
And soon, Pickman answered Milo's inner question:
"This is indeed here, but the Tombs of Xin are too big. My people only occupy A small part of it."
He raised his hand and pointed to the area in the mountains ahead that was blocked by roadblocks made of countless boulders and tombstones, and then said: "Go in this direction, it is the territory of demons. On the other side of the goblin territory is the country of the Gug giants, and James Sheffield's grave is sandwiched between these two places. It is an area that our ghoul group has not set foot in for decades. ”
“Ghosts are a species with a ferocious nature. According to legend, they are the product of genetic experiments done by snake people. They are also one of the aborigines of the underground world. Generally, individuals of this race are not very intelligent. , cannibalism often occurs, but at the end of a certain year in the past, a very powerful and intelligent special individual was born among them..."
"That powerful demon led the entire tribe, allowing These uncivilized beasts obeyed its orders. Since then, the territory of our ghoul tribe has been continuously eroded. Not only us, but also the cities of the Guge giants on the mountains have also been plundered a lot. This stream of light high in the sky at the end of the tombs gives us a foothold, because the demons are afraid of light, and strong light will make them sick or even die..."
"It is said...it is said that the powerful The leader of demons and ghosts seems to have touched the barrier of becoming a psychic visioner, and may even have become a psychic visioner."
When Pickman said the last sentence, his speed was obvious. Slowing down a bit, he was observing the changes in Milo's demeanor. He didn't seem to want Milo to think that he was taking advantage of Milo.
However, in fact, Milo is actually happy to accept such "use".
Strictly speaking, this should be considered a win-win situation, not an advantage.
After all, James Sheffield’s grave is on the other side of the goblin territory. Of course, that's assuming Pickman didn't lie.
Milo stared at Pickman's old ghoul face with a smile and asked him:
"Do you want me to help you get rid of that civilized monster, or You’re talking about ghosts and ghosts, right?”
"Correct!" Pickman nodded candidly.
"That was your plan from the beginning? You knew I was a psychic when we were in the study at the foot of the mountain?" Milo was a little confused about this.
Pickerman explained:
"Only those with visions have a chance of being deprived of the right to dream, Mr. Varrocan."
"Okay. "Milo shrugged.
Pickman stared with old and cloudy eyes, waiting for Milo to give a clear answer.
But Milo turned to look at Marshall who was in a daze:
"Wait for me here for a while. If I don't come back, you will eat Mr. Pickman. "
As soon as these words came out, the wrinkled skin on Pickman's face first showed a smile, and then he trembled obviously when he heard the second half of the sentence.
……
"I don't."
Marshall's answer was very concise and powerful:
"I want to go back to Uzzah, even if it's just for a look."
……< br>
The atmosphere at the scene fell into silence again.
Pickman did not dare to express his anger and just stood quietly with his cane. He felt that a hysterical scolding war might break out between the human and the cat in front of him at any time.
But what surprised both Pickman and Marshall was that Milo finally just sighed, then waved his hand and said:
"Okay, I'll drop you off on the way. That...what is it called? Enchanted Forest, right?"
Marshall blinked, obviously stunned for a few seconds, and then nodded wildly: "Ah, yes, Enchanted Forest."
"Okay, okay! I'll give you a map!"
Pickman was happy to see this scene. He hurriedly pulled out a simple map made of animal skin from under his robe, pointed at the curved lines on the map and said:
" This is the end of the Tombs of Xin, which is where we are. After crossing the territory of the demons, there is the city of the Guge giant."
As he spoke, he took out his pen and marked a place on the map. Approximate location:
“This is the location of Sheffield’s tomb. Its tombstone is made of red and white marble, and the inscription on it is in Usa language. Please remember this. And further up After passing through the city of Gug Giants, there is the Seal of Kass Tower, and then you can climb up the Sachmande Stairs to reach the enchanted forest on the ground.”
After folding the blueprint and handing it to Milo, Peake. Man looked around at the sidearms hanging on Milo's waist: "Look if there is anything missing, I will do my best to provide it."
"There's nothing missing. I'm in a hurry. Thank you for your nonsense."
Milo roughly judged the direction and waved for Marshall to follow.
