Chapter 418 What an upright lord!
"Have we arrived in a whole new world, or are we just somewhere else?"
“It’s definitely a whole new world.”
"Then why are the times synchronized? When it gets dark here, it gets dark in the Land Kingdom, too."
"Because this is a game. If you ask me, who should I ask?"
"Damn, what you said makes sense."
Lind looked at the undead people. He really wanted to tell them that according to the setting of the myth, the magic ring covered the magic world. No matter how many worlds there were, everyone saw the same moon and the same sun. Otherwise, why would the whole world suffer when the magic ring was broken?
William was sharpening his sword seriously. He had many swords, but he would not replace one sword with another one unless it was worn out. His thrifty and frugal appearance won Linde's approval.
He cooked something in the campfire pot. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that he was getting hungrier faster.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is quite large, but it is not a problem for the undead people who are already extraordinary. Some of them go offline, while others patrol around with torches.
Late at night, the moonlight disappears, the starlight dims, the devil land is called the "borderland", but the influence of the moon, sun and other forces on this place seems to be particularly weak.
It was pitch black all around, with only torches and bonfires flickering a breathing red light in the darkness.
Lind turned his head and saw a figure shrouded in the veil of darkness walking towards him.
"Why don't you take a rest?" Linde asked.
The person who came was Tionne.
Lind needed to guard the underground tunnel worms. The undead came to play games, not to rest, so the only ones in the entire camp who really needed a room to rest were Tione and William.
Tione said nothing, and the fragments of the magic ring behind her head dimmed.
Then, Linde felt Tione take his hand. He turned to look at her and could vaguely feel her fear of the darkness from her face.
It wouldn't hurt to catch her, and she was his fiancée. If he wasn't afraid of being killed, he would...
Linde's consciousness was placed on the forum. He was different from the undead. The undead could go offline to eat a bucket of instant noodles or squat in the toilet, but he could only wait cautiously.
I hope nothing unexpected will happen this dark night. It’s always better to be cautious when you first arrive in a foreign place.
Lind looked at the underground tunnel worm.
It’s almost time, let’s get the return ticket first.
And at the same time.
On a certain continent, a confident legendary wizard arrived at the agreed location on time, but after waiting for a long time, the land did not spit out bubbles.
Gone?
"Impossible." The wizard looked up at the sky. He had made an appointment.
A long time of waiting is wasted again.
……
The darkness cannot stop the undead from exploring the surroundings, and the vast desert is boundless.
"Is it an air wall, or is it really because the map is too big that we can't get out?"
Even the undead can't tell the difference.
Because there is nothing around except sand.
"Go back, or you'll get lost!"
This was the first time for everyone to travel far away, and they had come here through the "internal beta within the public beta" and by following the "favorite son route". If this world was full of monsters like the Soul Pecker, the undead who were limited to level 30 would have difficulty moving forward.
Everything was normal by dawn.
During the day, the undead were allowed to disperse and investigate the surrounding situation, with hiding being the main focus. Lind had also specifically told them not to wear the Abyss suits.
It is unknown whether the tentacles of the abyss rift have extended to the devil's land, but as long as normal creatures see the humanoid monster with a strong aura of the abyss, they will definitely fight. Moreover, the abyss suit worn by the undead is more like an abyss disaster than an abyss disaster.
Lind has already established a preliminary connection with the underground tunnel worms, and he feels he can appeal to their emotions and reason.
It’s so tiring to take the bus. It has to stop at all small stations.
But it’s different when you have your own private car, you can only drive long distances.
The underground tunnel worms do not have a clear consciousness. They have consciousness, but not much. They wander between the continents more like they follow some rules.
If Lind was caught locking the bus privately, there would definitely be trouble, but we will deal with it after he is caught.
At noon, the sun was high overhead.
The hot weather made the men in thick armor sweat profusely.
A man with gray skin and two tear trough totems from the corners of his eyes to his cheeks was riding on a multi-legged insect mount with a thick shell.
He untied the water bag and took a sip of water.
The hot wind burned his cheeks like flames, but he did not stop because this commission was not so easy. In order to hone his title, he chose the most severe method.
"what is that?"
Ravi looked at the figures in the distance struggling forward in the desert.
"Humanity?"
A rare race, they should not appear in the western region. This is not a place for humans with delicate skin and flesh to stay. The high temperature can burn their skin and flesh, and the smell of their meat will attract many races that do not like to eat their own kind to come over.
Maybe including one's own race.
"Holy crap, what is this guy riding? A hornworm?"
“Looks like a dung beetle.”
"Don't mention it, it's kind of handsome!"
"It can't be a special mount that only appears in desert maps!"
Ravi was a little surprised that these humans were not afraid of him. Instead, they came closer and circled around his ferocious scorpion flea, commenting on it.
"Who are you?" Ravi asked.
"Ahem!" The man in the front suddenly stood up straight, patted his clothes and said, "I am from the First Expeditionary Force of the Kingdom of Rand, a golden trainee knight loyal to the great Queen Rania! Sydney's younger brother."
"Knight?" Ravi knew that it was indeed a profession only held by nobles, but for some reason the other party's name sounded a little off.
Others also introduced themselves. Although they all looked like the same people, they gave people a feeling that something was not right. Are they all knights?
He wanted to say that the other party was a powerful kingdom, but the group of people in front of him did not look that strong.
"I'm Ravi," he introduced himself, "a warrior, and I'm trying to become a swordmaster."
"Juggernaut?"
"Yes, I'm tracking the Soulpeckers, those giant strange birds that are hovering in the sky around here."
"You mean the soul-pecking bird?" the undead asked hurriedly.
As expected, I knew that the bird should be let go. See, there is a plot!
"Soul-pecking birds? They can indeed be called that." Ravi looked at these people with a strange expression, because he didn't think that this group of people could survive the attack of the soul-pecking villains. Even a 4th-ring strongman could not defeat the soul-pecking villains who could fly in the sky and release streams of fire.
The reason why Ravi took on this task, besides the fact that he needed the title and needed to hone himself, was because too many people were being harassed. The soul-pecking villains were wantonly wreaking destruction, and it seemed that this monster would never be satisfied and would attack non-stop.
And only by killing those monsters from the sky can peace be restored.
"Would you like to visit our territory? Our general is here too."
"General?" Ravi nodded. "Okay."
He followed the undead to the camp they mentioned, but he didn't care about what they said. Just five days ago, in order to track down the soul-pecking villain, Ravi had already walked this road. There was no way there was a camp in just five days. It was probably...
Oh!
Ravi looked at the small building in the distance and opened his mouth slightly.
There actually is a camp building with all kinds of functions.
Not only that, when Ravi approached, a group of humans immediately surrounded him, including some sub-humans with blue skin, which they had never seen before.
He always remembered what an elder once said: as long as you live long enough, nothing will be surprising.
However, the strength of these people is very average, and there is no sense of oppression from them.
Ravi doubted their story about expelling a soul-pecking villain yesterday. But he would not say it out loud. Meeting a group of "refugees" during the journey was good news. He could have a good rest. His scorpion flea also needed rest.
Amid a crowd of curious onlookers... Ravi really wanted to ask these humans what they were looking at. He said that he was a gray tiger, a very normal race, and it was you humans who were the scarce species here.
It is not only scarce in reality, but also scarce at the dinner table.
"My lord, my lord, there's a guy with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth outside..."
Lind was stunned when he suddenly heard the report from the undead.
Subconsciously, I wanted to ask: "Where did Tang Seng and his disciples go?"
Fortunately, he reacted in time and did not become an Easter egg.
"what happened?"
"Sir, a traveler has come. He said he is a hunter who has been tasked with hunting down the soul-pecking bird he encountered yesterday. He passed by us and wanted to ask for some vegetarian food."
It's enough!
Lind didn't want to pay any more attention to the dramatic undead, so he strode out and saw the undead who had surrounded the tall and thin sub-human with stripes on his face.
"This is a specialty of the Rand Kingdom, super delicious dried rat."
"Friend, do you want a mana recovery potion?"
"Look at my outfit."
Lind walked towards the demi-human, and the undead suddenly became quiet. Please keep quiet when there is a plot. Everyone has been doing a good job, except for one thing: what they wear is too outrageous.
"Are you the general of this team?" Ravi was relieved when he saw that everyone finally quieted down after Lind's arrival.
"I'm Linde Alman." Linde nodded, but was reluctant to say too much. Fortunately, the undead didn't know much and could only reveal some news about the Kingdom of Rand.
"this way please."
Lind also wanted to know some key information. Moreover, since the undead did not fight with the other party, it meant that the other party belonged to the friendly and lawful camp. As long as he did not kill the other party's entire family and steal the other party's goods, it was highly likely that they would not become enemies.
It is unknown how long this friendship can last, as Lind always remains distrustful of his own undead.
Fortunately, the person in front of me didn’t look very rich, and an immortal person wouldn’t steal.
Entering the room, Ravi glanced at the people crowded outside the door and windows, and his mouth dropped open.
If you say these people have no discipline, they just behaved and said nothing when "Lind Armann" appeared in front of them.
But you say they are very disciplined, what is the situation now!
This is the first time I've seen someone daring enough to lie at the door and peek and eavesdrop so blatantly.
Lind knew it was unnecessary. The undead treated the person in front of him as an important plot character. Maybe he even thought he was an NPC merchant.
He pours a glass of wine for Ravi.
Ravi licked the corner of his mouth and drank from the bucket-like wine glass.
One action revealed two possibilities, either Ravi was at the bottom of the world and couldn't afford to drink alcohol, or supplies were scarce here.
There is no food in the demon land?
The possibility is very low, because both the Crystal Mage and Miss Troll said that although they have never actually traveled in the Demonic Land, they know that the resources in the Demonic Land are extremely rich.
Even if the magic ring is broken and causes the plants in the world to mutate, making wine from the mutated plants will not be a problem.
So, it should be the uneven distribution of resources.
Let’s look at Ravi’s equipment and the totems on his body.
The area where he is located is likely still in the "tribal" civilization.
"We come from other continents." Lind said.
"Other continents?" Ravi suddenly realized and had an explanation for the behavior of Lind's soldiers.
"You can actually come to the Demonic Land from another continent. You must be serving a 5th-ring wizard, right?" Ravi said with reverence.
5 rings?
Why hadn't he heard the Crystal Mage say before that the magic land was graded according to "rings".
In Lind's opinion, "ring" as a unit of calculation is actually biased, as it calculates the strongest power that you can unleash alone.
Breaking through limits is difficult, much more difficult than improving overall strength.
However, a strong person with all-round improvement and comprehensive strength at the 4th ring may not be unable to defeat a 5th ring person who needs various buffs.
He possesses the power of 5 rings, but if he is killed by a single blow to the head, his deterrent effect will be greatly reduced.
Should I barely be considered a 5th ring?
And the Daughter of Night should be considered to have all the attributes of the fifth ring, higher than himself, but now he does not have enough undead under his command, so Lind will not release her.
Seeing Lind nod slightly, Ravi's admiration grew even stronger. He guessed that there was a powerful legendary wizard standing behind this army.
Linde didn't want to sigh with Ravi, so he asked, "Ravi, something went wrong when we came to the Demon Land."
Yes, there were some complications, as Lind tried to lock the bus and it ended up at the wrong stop.
"where is this place?"
"The place dominated by beasts." Ravi replied.
"dominate?"
Linde is very familiar with the names of "Master", such as "Master of Madness" and "Master of the Furnace". In other words, it is God.
"Linde, thank you for the wine, but please forgive me. A powerful person who holds the power of domination cannot have his name mentioned too much by believers." Ravi looked apologetic.
"No, of course not." Lind shook his head, then asked, "Have you ever heard of the Star School of Magic?"
"No, I have never left this area, and I rarely meet humans." Ravi said, "But if you want to get some information, maybe you can go to Stone Beast Castle. There are many travelers from other places there, and maybe you can get some information."
"Thank you very much." Lind poured Ravi another glass of wine.
He is not a heavy drinker, beer is just for quenching thirst.
Although the wine brewed with various low-level potions and mutated plants with slight curses can curse the body, it is indeed very refreshing.
Especially when Lind drinks it, the krait emblem can also eat the curse, doubling the happiness.
Ravi smiled and gulped down the wine. He felt he had made a fortune by meeting Lind by chance today and being able to drink.
So I answered all of Linde's questions without reservation.
Where can you find such a good thing as having food and drink by answering some common sense? If it weren't for the task of hunting down the soul-pecking villains, Ravi really wanted to stay.
"If I were still alive, I would definitely go to the Stone Beast Castle!" Ravi held a bag of wine given by Lind, and the smile on his face never stopped.
However, when he walked back to his mount, Scorpion Flea, he couldn't help shaking his head.
"Ok?"
It seems like something is missing.
Lind saw it more clearly. When Ravi came, there was a large suitcase half a person's height tied to the big flea shell, but now the suitcase was gone.
You don't have to think about it to know that it was stolen by the undead.
"How did my bag get..." Ravi was surprised. He didn't expect that his things were really stolen. Although there were only some dry food and rations, as well as some coins in it, it was not worth stealing.
The man in front of him fits his perception of the "noble" mentioned by the travelers. Could the people under him be unclean?
Ravi sniffed and looked at a human who was watching the fun.
"It's you?"
"I..." The other person wiped his mouth, "I didn't eat it."
Lind: ...
"Come here, kill him!" Linde waved his hand.
"Yes!" Two apprentice knights rushed over immediately, one of them pinned down the "thief", and raised his hand and stabbed a sword into his chest.
"Lord Linde!" Ravi was shocked. It was just a little money and food. There was no need to kill people directly.
Watching the two blue-skinned wizards chanting spells and burning the bodies to ashes with flames, Ravi was actually somewhat moved.
What an upright lord!
