"Ahem." The butler with a mustache coughed lightly, leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Let me ask you, which lord are these soldiers outside guarding?"
"Um, it's an adult I rescued yesterday, his name is Li Ziyu." Elena answered honestly.
"Li Ziyu?" The butler with a mustache thought about it, but couldn't find the owner of this strange name in his memory, so he had to run back to Master Torento and report what he had just learned.
Torento frowned; he had never heard of this name either.
Torento knew all the nobles around him. After all, there were only so many noble families. Even if he didn't know all of them, he knew the main characters. But the name Li Ziyu was too unfamiliar and so strange.
Could it be that it came from somewhere else?
I haven't heard of any nobles passing by here.
Torento is the local shepherd, who is in charge of public security. He has great power and is the first to know about any disturbances around him. If any important person really passes by, he will naturally know about it, and normally the other party will come over to say hello.
There are vast wildernesses between cities, with numerous wild beasts, magical beasts, and blood-sucking monsters, making travel inconvenient. The nobles' habit of traveling is to meet the shepherd and the city lord when they arrive in the city, report to them, and make connections to expand their circle.
But Torento was sure that this person named Li Ziyu had never reported it.
Crack, crack, crunch—
The wooden door behind Elena was pushed open, and a black warrior came out with a long sword in hand. His tall figure cast a shadow on Elena, covering her.
As their souls trembled, Elena and the others heard a majestic, low voice asking, "Who is making a noise? What happened? Why are you disturbing our Lord's rest? Elena, our Lord asks you, when will we eat?"
It was not a normal sound, but a resonance of the soul. It was not language, but I could understand what he meant.
Elena's face turned pale. Although the Black Warrior saved her life last night, she still felt that these heavily armored warriors with scary patterns like skulls were frightening. She quickly whispered, "A noble master is coming. I haven't cooked yet, so I need to wait a moment."
Hearing the voice below, the Black Warrior lowered his head and saw Elena kneeling on the ground. "Who is delaying my master's meal? I will kill him!"
emmmm……
Is it so cruel?
Don't you ask a few more questions?
He wants to kill people as soon as he opens his mouth. How cruel.
The neighbors, soldiers, and noble Lord Torento present were all silent.
They did not doubt the words of the heavily armored warrior. Through the resonance of their souls, they could clearly feel that the other party was serious.
Looking at the cold sword in his hand, Torento swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at his private soldiers and the soldiers who followed him, and weighed the enemy's and his own combat strength. He felt that although his side had the advantage in numbers, they might not be able to stop the other side from killing him.
The two black heavily armored warriors who were guarding the broken window raised their heads, and there seemed to be fire flashing in their eyes, staring at him intently.
No, it's not like, there is a flash of fire!
The blue flame danced inside the helmet.
"ah……"
Torento was startled and took two steps back, bumping into a private soldier and almost falling.
His exclamation attracted the attention of the black warrior at the door. He turned his head and looked at Torento, the soul fire in his eyes flickering.
The Dark Knight turned around and walked towards Torento. Torento felt inexplicably palpitating, and fear emerged in his heart. He subconsciously grabbed a pendant on his chest and held it in front of him, pointing it at the Dark Knight.
The pendant was neither gold nor wood, and no one knew what material it was made of. It looked like a skull mask, hideous and ferocious, with a small blue gem embedded in the skull's forehead, as if it had a third eye.
Judging from the degree of wear and tear on the pendant, it was not recently made but has a long history.
When the pendant faced the approaching black warrior, a strange thing happened. When Torento raised the pendant, a burst of energy surged out from the gems inlaid in the pendant. A rune flashed on the skull mask, and then two small flames burst out from the originally empty eye sockets and burned out of thin air.
The black warrior stopped and looked at the pendant in surprise. He was very familiar with the energy on it. It was the breath of soul energy, and it was the soul energy of the undead.
The runes and energy conveyed a simple message that only the undead could understand - the holder was a follower.
This is actually a token of the Undead, used to prove the identity of the holder!
The Dark Warrior raised his hand, held the pendant in his palm, and asked Torento, "How did you get this pendant?"
Thinking that the Black Warrior would take action, Torento, who had his eyes closed and was trembling, heard the question and opened his eyes a little. He whispered, "This came from the Temple and has been passed down from generation to generation in our family."
temple?
Inherited from ancestors?
The black warrior stretched out his finger and touched Torento's forehead, releasing an extremely subtle trace of soul energy.
A blue light emerged from Torento's forehead, forming a rune that was very similar to the rune that flashed on the skull mask pendant just now.
An ancient Undead rune meaning "followers".
This man who is so useless that he picks his feet is actually a descendant of the Undead race.
The black warrior became more and more surprised.
He was created by the system. Although he knew a lot about the Undead, his knowledge of the Undead's history was vague and confusing. He instinctively felt that the Skeleton Undead were all under Li Ziyu's command.
