Chapter 97 The Dead and the Dead

As one of the Nine Gods, the Deathrattle Girl's titles include "Mother of Gravekeepers", "God of Sufferers", "Lord of All Non-Evil Undead", "Pale Dancer of Love and Beauty", etc.His priests have worked to eliminate society's stigma against the undead and necromancy.

Therefore, the priests of the Deathrattle Girl and the Necromancers of Thousand Layers City often cooperate with each other to summon a large number of skeletons and order them to undertake various tasks.

Since the Deathrattle girl claims to be the eternal ally of the Eternal Light, Shabron has a natural affinity for this priest of the god.

Since seeing the banknotes, landlord Daniel's frequency of honorifics has increased significantly, and the rent negotiation process has been quite smooth.

After that, they came to No. 6 Mercury Street and visited indoors.

The priest of the deathrattle girl, who said he wanted to routinely check the skeleton servant he had summoned, also followed him.

Judging from the skeleton, the contributor of the skeleton was a dwarf during his lifetime.The label above shows that he is at the end of his life.He signed an agreement to sell his remains during his lifetime.

In the bedroom, the pale-faced girl priest inspected the wear and tear on the skeleton and said:

"I thought most outsiders would be taboo about skeleton servants."

Seeing that his adoptive father and the landlord were in the living room outside the room, Chabron couldn't hear him, so he shrugged his shoulders and said:
"I don't mind necromancy. A friend of mine who has passed away was a necromancer with a pure heart. He was a child who was so kind that it made people feel heartbroken."

The young priestess took out the white ointment and repaired the damaged parts of the skeleton. When she heard Xia Bron's words, she couldn't help but say:

"Oh? It seems that since Ai's idea became widespread, there are many such people."

"Ai?" Chabron suddenly realized that a familiar name lingered on his lips.

"He is a necromancer from centuries ago. Are you willing to listen to his story?" The pale-faced girl priest repaired the skeleton servant and raised her head, "Two days ago, on the 666th floor of Rainbow Castle, a ghost The bartender just finished telling me his story.”

"It's what I asked for." Xia Bron leaned his back against the wall and nodded happily, with a smile on his lips as if he was just waking up from a sweet dream.

So, in a villa on Mercury Street near the Temple of Eternal Light on the 800th floor of the Rainbow Castle, the "Layer of Books and Infinity", the priest of the Deathrattle Girl began to tell the story about "Dark Apprentice Ai".

Outside the south-facing window, the warm sun quietly paced.

······
"In the end, in the process of studying the scrolls left by Ai, a crazy necromancer known as the [Wise Doctor] was born - she reached the pinnacle of necromancy, but did not inherit Ai's gentleness. She was a A madman who dares to experiment on his own daughter.

"You may not have heard of the virtuous doctor's name, but her daughter and disciples are both famous in the Thousand Layers City of Rainbow Castle. Her daughter is the knowledge priest of the Eternal Light Temple of Rainbow Castle, Mera; a disciple of the virtuous doctor, It was the Necromancer Heath, who was at the forefront of the Arcane Council of the [Arcane Federation] and who had disappeared not long ago.

"Yes, Lord Hiss, Lord of the Undead, is in a sense an indirect disciple of Ai..."

At the end of the story, Chabron returned to reality and thanked the young priestess for giving him such a good story.

He and Daniel signed a lease contract and paid rent for a short period of time in the future.

Perhaps tacitly, during the whole process, Matruh did not ask Chabron about the source of the money, and Chabron did not mention it.

The adoptive father Matru moved the luggage into the room and checked in on the spot.Chabron then set out to return to the temple.

Landlord Daniel smiled happily for today's business and said goodbye to Chabron happily.

Then, at the door of their new residence, Chabron and his adoptive father parted in the smoky wind at noon in April.

When parting, the image of his adoptive father was still in Chabron's emerald green eyes——

This old cleric has a strong profile, silver hair and silver temples, and a tall and straight body, like a standing mountain, but the top of the mountain is covered with frost and snow.

On the top of the snow-covered mountains, there are still the words [Level 1 Civilian].

Like An Luo and Arya, he did not improve his level because he solved the crisis in Wind's Breath Town [3-075].
-
After bidding farewell to his adoptive father, Xia Bron returned to the Temple of Eternal Light.

On the second floor of the temple, he saw Mera again - a girl wearing a floor-length black velvet robe, with eyes that were precocious and wise that did not match her age.

After seeing Chabron coming back, Murrah handed him a dossier.

What is recorded above is the ritual magic that "liberates the souls imprisoned in magic items" that Chabron asked her to find before.

With the appropriate ritual, the soul imprisoned in the "Betrayer's Fang" can be successfully released.

Without asking how Chabron obtained the dark dagger that could imprison the soul, Mera just said in a cold and waveless tone:

"The ritual does not require high levels of spellcasting. I suggest that you, Chabron, complete the entire process yourself."

The whole process is by me...
Before Chabron could ask any questions, Murrah continued:
"If you are lucky enough, the quality of the released soul is higher. The good deeds of freeing the soul will hopefully be blessed by the soul itself, and even favored by the eternal light."

Xia Bron immediately understood his boss's kindness and nodded slightly.

He took the file and began to study the information on the [Soul Release Ceremony].

"Materials required: 3 flat bottles of fresh holy water that have been produced for no more than a day, 4 feathers of celestial beings, 5 grams of arcane ink..."

Although these materials may not be easy for others to obtain, Chabron thought about it carefully and realized that these materials were not difficult for him to obtain.
-
In a small room in the Temple of Eternal Light.

3 bottles of fresh holy water are placed on the table - they were created by Chabron using the [Creating Holy Water] ritual just now using silver powder.

On the table, Shabron's familiar, the celestial falcon "Silver Wings", flapped its wings dissatisfied.

——Any celestial creature will not be too happy after its owner forcibly plucks out four feathers.

Then, I just bought several large bottles of mysterious ink - this mysterious ink is added with refined dragon blood, giant octopus ink and other materials.

Before starting the sacred ritual, Chabron immersed his mind into the "Betrayer's Fang".

He wanted to see the soul inside.

As his mind connected with the pitch-black dagger in his hand, the young priest seemed to be in another space——

When he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by eternal night.

The sky was pitch black, and there was no earth beneath our feet, only bottomless blackness.

Each imprisoned translucent soul floats in the air, waiting for the owner to ask questions.

Chabron waved gently and called the first soul.

He is a half-elf.

"Where did you come from? How did you die?" Chabron floated in the sky of endless night, asking his soul.

The phantom figures in the sky tell the truth:
"I am a senior researcher of the [Mechanicus Schismeter]..."

 [He is a half elf - this does not mean that he is 1.5 elf.Rather, he is a half-elf. 】

  I don’t dare to joke about this in the text, so let’s talk about it here.

  (Using Chabron's own [blasphemer] to suppress the divinely crafted dagger will only act like "the dimensional bag enters the dead magic zone", isolating the connection between the soul prison space in the dagger and the outside world, and unable to release the soul. Therefore, ritual release is required)
