Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 394 Return to the Underground Palace, the Secret of the Blood Legion! (6000)

Cao Xing glanced at the temperature above his head.

[Current temperature: -67℃]

"This passage is actually colder than the last time I came here."

at the same time.

Suddenly, blue figures emerged from the walls on both sides of the passage.

Their figures were erratic, emitting a strange aura.

Looking closely, they were the Ascalon Undead.

Their pale faces still retained the expressions they had before death, giving people a gloomy feeling.

As more and more Ascalon Undead appeared, the passage was almost blocked.

A strong breath of undead, with an astonishing chill!
Robin, who was following behind Cao Xing, was so frightened that he almost turned pale.

“Great great... … Big man… … ”

"Why are there so many undead here?" he asked tremblingly.

Cao Xing spread his hands and said, "You should ask your ancestor, the King of Ascalon."

Robin looked confused, he didn't know the story of the fall of the Kingdom of Ascalon.

However, these undead in the passage not only did not attack Cao Xing, but instead stood in place and cleared a path for him.

All the undead clenched their weapons, looking solemn, as if they were welcoming Cao Xing's arrival.

This is a real welcome.

After all, Cao Xing can be said to be their savior.

Robin also felt the respect these undead showed to Cao Xing, and was amazed.

"It's amazing... those undead are so polite to Master Cao Xing!"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Let's go."

Following the passage, they soon went underground.

In front of me is a familiar place - the entrance to Everwatch Hall.

Cao Xing remembered that there was a tunnel here.

I just crawled into the tunnel next to me and completed a series of tasks.

at the same time.

A strong undead wearing heavy undead armor and a horned helmet on his head floated over quickly!
"Lord Cao Xing!"

The harsh sound that only belongs to the undead sounded.

Cao Xing raised his head and saw the familiar figure at a glance.

It was the undead lieutenant Karlhan whom I met last time!

"Lieutenant Karlhan, how are you?"

The undead Karlhan was also excited: "Lord Cao Xing, how are you?"

"I heard from the soldiers that several humans entered the underground palace. I wondered who it was, but it turned out to be you!"

"How come you have time to come here today?"

It can be seen that the undead lieutenant was very happy about Cao Xing's arrival.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Come and take care of something."

"By the way, where is the Duke of Palatine?"

Karlhan replied: "The Duke is now in Everwatch Hall."

"However, he is receiving a new batch of undead, so it is not convenient for him to come to greet you. Please forgive me."

Cao Xing waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll go find him myself."

Karlhan nodded, “Okay, please follow me.”

After saying this, Karlhan led him forward.

Cao Xing followed him and went straight into the hall.

But this time, he didn't need to dig a tunnel, but entered through the main gate openly.

Soon, he arrived at the familiar Everwatch Hall.

A large number of undead are gathering there.

There are so many of them, there are at least thousands!

Compared to the number of undead when we last separated, the scale has more than doubled.

However, Cao Xing also noticed that some of the undead were not wearing armor, but some old animal skins.

Some of the dead bodies are even incomplete, and they look like wandering ghosts!
Obviously, these undead were not part of the Ascalon undead; they came from outside.

In the middle area, there is a tall undead figure holding a big sword.

It was the Duke of Palatine.

At this moment, he held up the sword in his hand and muttered something.

"The fallen heroes...the homeless warriors..."

"The glory of the Kingdom of Ascalon will shine on every warrior who has fought bravely."

"In the name of the Duke..."

As Paladin finished chanting the spell.

A strong blue aura of undead burst out from his sword!

These auras directly enveloped the group of wandering ghosts nearby.

In the blink of an eye, this group of undead put on the same armor as other Ascalon undead.

This move made Cao Xing's eyes light up instantly.

"Is this... transforming the undead outside into Ascalon undead?"

"Then can we transform other undead souls into Ascalon Undead Souls?"

Yes, Cao Xing immediately thought of that ancient battlefield.

According to the intelligence obtained by Blot.

That ancient battlefield had a massive army of undead, including some sixth- and seventh-level undead.

If possible, could he help Duke Palatine to subdue the undead in the underground palace?

Then he signed the terms with the Duke of Palatine!
In this way, it is equivalent to controlling an army of undead in disguise!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank.

My initial thought was to take the initiative and flatten this ancient battlefield.

But if you can transform these undead into your own troops, the benefits will be much greater than flattening them!
At that time, Duke Palatine will control a massive army of undead, and he can summon them himself.

The scene where Cao Xing waved his arm and endless undead helped him to drown the enemy must have been very shocking!
He couldn't even resist trying it right away.

Of course, this is just his idea. Whether it will succeed or not, he has to ask the Duke of Palatine.

And this time, Cao Xing’s main purpose is to open the kingdom’s treasury.

at the same time.

The Duke of Palatine has completed the transformation ceremony of the undead.

He also noticed Cao Xing who was waiting silently on the side.

After all, it would be hard not to attract attention if a few living people appeared in a palace full of undead.

A smile appeared on that ghost-like pale face.

"Mr. Cao Xing, you are here."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, and without further ado, he went straight to the point and said, "Your Excellency the Duke, I am here to fulfill my promise."

"I have brought here the man of Ascalon's royal blood."

Hearing this, all the thousands of undead on the field turned their eyes to Robin.

The young man was stared at by so many undead at once, and he suddenly felt cold all over and his breathing became rapid.

Paladin looked at Robin carefully, a trace of surprise and astonishment flashed across his face...

Then he nodded.

"I sensed it. He does have royal blood in him!"

"Lord Cao Xing always keeps his word. You really lived up to my trust and did something that ordinary people cannot do."

Cao Xing smiled.

At the same time, Duke Palatine looked at Robin.

"You are the king's bloodline. According to the old rules, we should actually pay respect to you."

"But we are now undead, so there is no need to mention the old rules, so there is no need to perform formalities."

It can be heard that Duke Palatine still has resentment towards the king for breaking the sword and cursing them.

And thousands of years have passed since Robin's time.

Before that, he just lived a simple life as an ordinary person.

If Marita had not found him suddenly this time, his fate would have been the same as those ordinary civilians, and he would have lived an ordinary life.

"No...you don't have to salute me..."

"In fact, I didn't even know that I was a member of the royal family..."

"I'm so... so sorry..."

Robin said apologetically.

Seeing this, Duke Palatine sighed and said no more.

Cao Xing asked: "Your Excellency the Duke, can the power of Robin's bloodline open the kingdom's treasure house?"

Paladin is a very direct person, and there is no need to beat around the bush when communicating with him.

The Undead Duke nodded, "Yes, Lord Cao Xing."

"Please follow me. I will take you to open the treasure of the kingdom."

After hearing this, Cao Xing showed joy on his face.

Including Sarah and Renis behind, a faint smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.

Because this means that the treasure house that has been sealed for thousands of years is finally going to be opened today!
Then, everyone followed Duke Palatine through the Hall of Everlook and arrived at the Kasha Cathedral.

This is where Cao Xing once fought against the soul-eating demon.

After such a long time, the number of coffins has increased by several thousand.

Cao Xing looked up and saw the statue of the goddess Kmir in the center of the church.

The last time this statue was desecrated by the soul-eating demon and its head was destroyed, it has now been restored by these undead and appears extremely sacred.

Duke Palatine also noticed Cao Xing's gaze.

Then he stopped in front of the statue and saluted.

He said with emotion: "As one of the six true gods, the goddess Kmir who is in charge of order and truth, she once gave us an oracle in Ascalon."

"We once thought that the kingdom would continue to prosper under the protection of the goddess."

"But I didn't expect that in the end, I couldn't escape the fate of destruction."

"Perhaps for a true god like her, the rise and fall of a kingdom is nothing more than a game of ants in her eyes..."

After hearing this, Cao Xing looked thoughtful.

He currently has a general understanding of the so-called Six True Gods.

They are a group of beings that transcend everything.
This level of life has already transcended concepts such as lifespan, life and death.

The measure of time seems to have lost its meaning to them.

Even a prosperous kingdom or even a vast empire may be just a drop in the ocean in their eyes and will be fleeting.

The only ones who can contend against the Six True Gods are the ancient dragons.

However, all the ancient dragons seem to be sealed.

In other words, the Six True Gods are almost the most powerful beings in this world.

The vast majority of races in the entire world believe in the Six True Gods.

Although these gods have not appeared for many years, most creatures still maintain their faith in them.

So far, Cao Xing only knows the names of four of them.

They are:
Kmir, the god of order, spirit and truth.

Lisa, the goddess of beauty, freedom and wind. Dwayna, the goddess of air, healing and life
Melandru, goddess of growth, water and nature.

As for the names of the other two true gods, Cao Xing didn't know.

So he asked the Duke of Palatine this question.

The Duke thought for a moment, then replied, "In fact, I only know the name of another true God."

"Her name is Grenth, and she controls darkness, frost, and death..."

"This one is very mysterious and low-key. She never needs any believers, so there are few records about her deeds."

Cao Xing nodded secretly and memorized the name "Glens" in his heart.

Duke Palatine continued: "Except for the goddess Grenth."

"While the names of the five true gods are relatively well known to the world, no one knows the name of the sixth true god."

Cao Xing looked puzzled and asked, "Does anyone know?"

"Yes, at least as far as I can remember, I have never heard anyone else mention the name of this sixth true god."

"I searched through the library of the kingdom, but could not find any record of this sixth true god."

"In other words, no one can give a definite answer as to whether there is such a god."

"Some people say that this is a spot that the five powerful True Gods left for other True Gods. They hope that more True Gods will appear and be able to rival them."

"Some people also say that this sixth true god is a kind of imagination and sustenance of the unknown by living beings, or perhaps it represents a hidden power."

"Of course, the affairs of gods are simply beyond the reach of us mortals to speculate on..."

A thoughtful look flashed across Cao Xing's eyes again.

Through a conversation with the Duke of Palatine, his understanding of the mystery of this world has been further deepened.

In this world full of unknowns and challenges, there are too many mysteries.

Even that kind of transcendent existence has unsolved mysteries.

Cao Xing also realized that his journey to becoming a lord had just begun.

As they were thinking, they had already passed through the church and came to a bright passage at the back.

Duke Palatine said: "Lord Cao Xing, please follow me into the audience with the king, and then we can go to the treasure house."

Cao Xing nodded, then stepped into the passage.

They followed this bright passage and went deeper and deeper.

On both sides of the passage are exquisite murals. Although the colors have faded, they are still full of solemnity and dignity.

After walking along this passage for about two or three hundred meters, we finally arrived at the end of the passage.

In front of us, a huge stone gate suddenly appeared!

The scale of this stone gate is amazing.

The height is roughly estimated to be at least ten meters, and the width is about five or six meters.

On both sides of the stone gate are two statues of knights holding swords and wearing armor.

It looks majestic, as if guarding the world behind the door.

"We're here, Lord Cao Xing."

"Open the gate. Behind it is the palace of the previous king. Inside is the treasure of the kingdom."

"Or rather, it is the treasure treasured by the king..."

After hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed expectation again.

He asked, “How do I open it?”

Duke Palatine floated his body, then looked at Robin beside him and said, "There is a groove in the center of each of the two doors."

"Let this young man with royal blood put his hands on it, and the groove will automatically detect your blood."

"Then the door can be opened."

Hearing this, Robin glanced at Cao Xing, as if asking for his opinion.

Cao Xing nodded, "Go ahead."

The young man took a deep breath and seemed to muster up his courage.

He walked cautiously to the front of the gate, stretched out his hands, and placed them on the two grooves that the Duke of Palatine had mentioned.

After a moment, Robin felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand.

He said in horror: "Something...something pricked my finger!"

"Lord Cao Xing!"

Duke Palatine said: "Don't worry, this is the gate testing your bloodline, it will be fine in a while."

After hearing this, young Robin suppressed his inner fear and continued to keep his hands on the door.

Sure enough, the stinging sensation disappeared after a while.

at the same time.

There was movement in the huge stone gate.

The door slowly opened to both sides, gradually revealing a gap.

A strong light burst out from the crack in the door!
"Boom!"

The door slowly opened.

However, as expected, the scene of treasures all over the ground did not appear.

A magnificent palace appeared in front of everyone!

The first thing that catches your eye is a magnificent hall with a towering dome that seems to touch the sky.

The ceiling, walls, and even the huge stone pillars of the entire palace are carved with various mysterious murals, exuding a sense of solemnity.

And in the center of the palace, there is a throne that is more gorgeous and more shocking than Cao Xing’s [Shining Throne]!

Cao Xing stared at the floor, pillars, and everything around him.

I was amazed!

"Fuck! These floors are all made of Hengjin. They are so fucking rich!"

"And those pillars have a lot of magic stones on them."

"Even the fabrics used for the curtains and screens seem to be unusual..."

"Fuck! I really want to tear down this palace!"

Especially the throne, the gems on it are bigger than the other, and each one is of gold quality.

For Cao Xing, everything in this entire palace, even the floor tiles, is priceless.

If only this entire palace could be demolished.

Even if there is no treasure of the kingdom, it is worth the trip!
Of course, the Duke Palatine is still here.

This is the palace of the Ascalonians.

Doing this in front of the Duke is obviously not a good idea.

At this moment, Duke Palatine looked at the scene in front of him, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

“Many years ago, His Majesty the King sat here and gave us various instructions.”

"And we faithfully carry out his orders and fight for the glory of the kingdom."

"Under his rule, the kingdom prospered,"

"Unfortunately, the king started the war on impulse and brought in the Blood Legion."

"In that war, we suffered a crushing defeat..."

A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Is it the Blood Legion again?
Through his understanding over this period of time, he has come to understand some things.

Two key moments occurred on this continent.

Each key node affects the fate of many countries and many races.

The first node was probably the Blood Legion War a thousand years ago.

In that war, many kingdoms were affected and destroyed.

The Kingdom of Ascalon is one of them.

In that battle, a large number of warriors died and were sealed into the summoning space.

Most of the troops recruited by today's survivor lords come from this period.

The second node is the invasion war ten thousand years ago.

The Blood Spider Queen Hilda died in that war.

However, this time was too far away and not many records were left.

When I had discussed this privately with Hilda before, she opened her mouth several times, but was blocked by some mysterious force.

So Cao Xing had no idea what happened during that period and who the enemy was.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Recently, the words 'blood army' have popped up in my ears from time to time."

"This is no accident. I believe in my hunch."

“When something that was rarely mentioned before suddenly appears frequently, it means it may really happen.”

"That is to say... the Blood Legion may really appear on this continent."

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed slightly.

It is obvious that the Blood Legion is definitely a very powerful and terrifying force.

This force once reached the Kingdom of Youlan and destroyed the Kingdom of Ascalon.

In other words, if it appears again, it is likely to affect the snowy plain where its territory is located.

Regarding this kind of enemy that may appear in the future, Cao Xing needs to know as much information as possible.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!
So Cao Xing asked, "Your Excellency the Duke, what kind of existence is the Blood Legion?"

After hearing this, Duke Palatine showed a trace of pain and anger on his face.

For him, this force was also the main factor that turned him into an undead.

He slowly said: "This is a group of crazy guys. No one knows where they came from."

"All we know is that when the Blood Legion appears, the continent will fall into unprecedented turmoil."

"They are very powerful. Almost all kingdoms are their targets. Wherever they pass, it spreads like blood, dyeing the entire map red!"

"This is also the origin of the name of the Blood Legion."

"Under their invasion, kingdoms were destroyed and entire countries were massacred!"

"Back then, if the Human Empire hadn't activated some special measures, the Blood Legion might have really overthrown all the kingdoms in the Western Continent."

A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes again.

Duke Palatine paused, then continued, "After the kingdom was defeated that year, we all became undead."

"Then I began to seriously study the information about the Blood Legion. I spent decades looking through the library of the entire kingdom, and finally I found a clue."

"I discovered that this force is ****, they are ****, and every **** years, they will appear again from the mainland."

"According to my speculation, their purpose may be to ****."

"Of course, this is just my speculation..."

Cao Xing widened his eyes.

Because there are several key words in it that he can't hear!

Yes, that’s what the Duke of Palatine said, and it seemed as if he was muted.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly came back to his senses.

Obviously, this should be the power of the lord system.

He was blocked from accessing this information.

The Lord System will not block this information for no reason.

There must be a deeper reason behind this!
