Chapter 382 Decay
The Tower of Decay, the center of the entire rotten wasteland, is where the King of Sorrow rules.
This is the first time for Helot to enter the Tower of Decay. It is not as heavily guarded as expected, and even the undead are rarely seen in the tower. But there is a guardian undead on each floor. If someone wants to assassinate the Sorrowful King, he must go up one level at a time. However, according to the strength of the Sorrowful King, no one would be tempted to assassinate him.
The Soul Eater is the dragon trainer trusted by the Sorrow King. Under his guidance, the guardian undead did not embarrass Helot.
We finally reached the top of the Rotting Tower. In the empty hall, we could see the decayed King of Sorrow, whose appearance was unclear, as if he had piled a pile of limestone on the throne.
"Soul Eater, you bring a human being."
The Sorrowful King spoke to the Soul Eater first, with the same tone as before, as if nothing had happened.
The Soul Eaters saluted the Sorrow King: "Your Majesty, this is my... son, Broken Bones!"
Helot saluted the Sorrow King: "The great Sorrow King, I apologize for this sudden visit, and I feel honored to see you in person."
"Is he your son?" King Sorrow looked at Herot seriously, and then laughed. He smiled and said, "We have met once before, in the sky above the Royal Court. And our two clones made with our respective souls are very good friends. Chike spoke very highly of the starry sky, which made him seem to have seen the past. Myself. It's a pity... I didn't follow Chike's advice. I knew I was not qualified to become a god, but I still wanted to challenge the origin of the world.
The result is also obvious, I failed, exhausted my strength, and will soon completely decay.
Don’t talk about things that are irreversible, tell me why you came to me. If I can help you, I will try to help you. ”
Helot didn’t expect that such a weak King of Sorrow could recognize himself from the soul particles at a glance, and even see that the starry sky was his soul clone.
Sorrow in its prime state What kind of strength does the king have?
Helot said: "When I came, I did have many questions to ask you. But after meeting you, I changed my mind. The answer you know may not be the real answer. ”
These words had a mocking meaning to the King of Sorrow.
But there is no refutation. If he knew the real answer, he would not be like this.
“You are right, what I saw may not be true. An unprecedented collision of planes, chaotic laws, and an unclear future. Even God cannot make any predictions, let alone It’s me.
I’m glad you came to see me at this last moment. I’ll give you each a gift.”
The Soul Eater immediately said: “Dragon Lich. My body is the best gift you have given me.”
Hearing that the soul eater refused the gift he gave, the Sorrowful King smiled and said: "It seems that you have guessed what I am going to give you. You are indeed not strong enough to have it now, but I believe there are some things that you can't refuse." You can stay away.
You will become the god of death guarding the land of death. This is a responsibility you cannot escape.”
The soul eater replied: “You won’t be able to escape.” When the time comes, I will come again. Now I just want to be as powerful an undead as you. There is still a long way to go before this end."
"It's up to you!" The Sorrowful King stopped talking about food. Regarding the Spirit Disciple's reward, he then said to Herot: "The gift for you is actually given by Chike to Xingkong. Chike once traveled all over the world to collect knowledge and concentrated it in the Immortal Tower. Now there is a super big one. When the planes are merged, the knowledge there must have its own characteristics.
Chike left the Immortal Tower to Xingkong, and he will become the first director of the Immortal Society and continue to complete Chike's work."
Chike gave the Tower of Immortality to Starry Sky?
This big surprise was completely unexpected by Helot. He knew how powerful Immortal was, and those Immortal mages who never left the door each had their own unique skills. They have no interest in fame and fortune, no material needs, and no great ideals of Master Zhanlan. Reading is their only spiritual food, and bringing all knowledge into decay is their self-chosen destination.
Just like the honest man Chike, he honestly has no ambition and is ignored by others.
But if you have seen the bloodline discussion group initiated by the immortal mages, you can understand what kind of sparks the immortal mages can produce if they conduct serious research.
Herot excitedly saluted the Sorrowful King: "Thank you for the gift! This is the best gift for me."
"Knowledge should be given to scholars who like to explore it, and knowledge is more valuable. It should be given to a wise man who knows how to think. The fact that you can create the starry sky means that you are worthy of my entrustment to the Immortal Tower.
It’s just a pity... This rotten tower will have to wait for a while before it can welcome its owner. "
Helot can also see that his father just rejected King of Sorrow's gift of the Rotting Tower.
The Rotten Tower is different from the Immortal Tower. This Tower of the Undead is the center of all battles. If my father accepts this tower, he will be putting himself at the center of this maelstrom.
For the "Human Liver" soul eaters, there is no time for leveling up because of intrigues all day long!
The Soul Eaters can hear the Sorrow King's regret and his last question to himself.
“Your Majesty, why don’t you give other lords a chance? Maybe your judgment of me is just because of your favor for me. In this unprecedented collision of planes, since you can’t even see it How can we be sure that there won’t be a more suitable choice than me in the future?”
The words of the Soul Eater untied the last knot in the Sorrowful King’s heart. He laughed loudly, and his body shook with laughter. Layers collapse into powder.
The invisible pressure hanging over the Rotten Royal Court disappeared, and all the undead could not help but bow their heads in silence at this moment. The Sorrow King has completed his final journey of decay, and his final influence over the Land of the Dead has disappeared.
The ruling position is vacant, and all undead who want to sit on it can compete for it.
The Soul Eaters and Herot stood in the hall, looking at the ruling throne and the powder on the throne, and they were both lost in thinking about death for a while.
At this moment, the "Old Code" suddenly rushed out of Helot's space bag.
Like a vicious dog that had been hungry for three days, it flew in a straight line in the air and rushed to the ruling throne. Opening the pages of the book, he sucked up the powder left by the decay of the Sorrowful King like a whirlwind.
After absorbing the powder left by the Sorrowful King, the "Old Code" is still not satisfied. It lies across the top of the ruling throne, with the pages aligned with the spire above. At this time, the black particles that filled the sky above the entire Rotten Royal Court began to flow backwards towards the Rotten Tower, converging into a black waterfall and pouring down the "Old Code".
When the soul eater saw this scene, he asked Herot in shock: "It, what is it doing?"
Helot spread his hands: "It's swallowing the soul fire particles of the undead. I just arrived at the King of Decay." When it was in the court, it drooled at the black particles in the sky, but it was only because it was afraid of the will of the Sorrow King that it held back its mouth.
Now that the Sorrow King has just decayed, this guy is not willing to wait for a moment! ”
