The Spirit World

Chapter 361: Conjecture [Shadow Passing]

"Actually, you don't need to blame yourself at all, Skarner." Pylos put a book on the table, then took out a book from the bookshelf next to it, flipped through it casually, and put it back on the table.

"Wutongsi doesn't dare to investigate you... The most important thing is that you have a clear conscience." Pylos searched for books one by one on the bookshelf.

According to the names, they are "Classification of Underground Caves", "Monster Encyclopedia", "Who Dominates the War", and "Chronicles of Arlan".

"Hmph!" Scana sat opposite Pylos. This was a more private room. The books inside were all printed on fine paper and were obviously the latest books.

"Don't have that attitude. You can do it in front of me, but you'll suffer a great loss in front of others. Besides, I'm just conveying the king's order, right? The king came in person to let me inform you, so of course you have no choice but to accept it." Pylos opened the book "Classification of Underground Caves" and pointed at the catalog with his finger, and found [Subjects of Different Dimensions] [Shadow Cave]

"Here, take a look for yourself. I remember it clearly. The cave you are going to the day after tomorrow is a variant of this cave. The things inside should be inseparable from these." Pylos spread the book in front of Skarner.

"Actually, I'm not worried. We've traveled all over the country for so many years. What haven't we seen? I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of those little kids. Although they are all excellent children, you can't chat with them. If something happens in the cave, you will be very depressed. Those little boys and girls will be very worried."

Pylos drank a cup of coffee and watched Skarner read that chapter seriously.

[Shadow Cave: It belongs to the category of extra-dimensional caves. The monsters in it are usually undead. The Shadow Cave that has been detected so far is more like an entrance to the dead world. There are all kinds of resentful undead wandering in it. The usual types are...]

"It says here that the Cave of the Dead is the entrance to the world of the dead? Is that true or not?" Skarner watched Pylos leisurely looking at other books.

"I don't know either... I can't say I don't know, I can only say I'm not sure. It's impossible for humans without spiritual power to go there." Pylos continued to look for something, flipping through the catalog of books one by one: "However, I know the author of this book, so he should be credible. The entrance to the dead world should be at the deepest part of the cave..."

"Philip Dumbledore..." Skarner looked at the cover of the book, on which the author was engraved. He looked at Pylos in surprise: "The principal has been to the underworld?"

"No... Although only people with spiritual power can reach the Shadow Cave, only the dead can reach the dead world. I dare not say the principal, but what he wrote is still credible." Pylos found something again, opened the book upside down, pressed it on the table and said to Skarner: "Have you finished reading it?"

"without……"

[Usually, they are divided into low-level skeleton soldiers, high-level dead knights, and banshees, spirit insects, dead souls, and more complex elemental crystals...]

"Are you sure... that the team I'm going to lead is to collect the Light of the Netherworld, not to die?" Skarner looked at the familiar nouns one by one.

From skeleton soldiers to dead knights, he had encountered them all in different places, but how could this weird cave have so many monsters gathered together?

"Ah... there's nothing we can do... Actually, this time we mainly want to train the boys. The Light of the Wraith is secondary. We can try our luck with that kind of thing outside the Shadow Cave. The most important thing now is to let them understand that war is very cruel. As a member of the Principality, it is extremely normal for them to go to the battlefield at any time and be ready to sacrifice at any time. The consensus reached by the demon tribe and the demon leaders has already put us in a passive position. We must let them grow up in a short period of time." Pylos took another sip of coffee, stared at the puzzled Skarner and nodded, saying: "White knife in, red knife out, a person may be gone. This seemingly simple rhetoric is actually the cruelest. We have been here for so many years, what kind of death have we not seen? To put it bluntly, when ordinary people die, everything is gone. They are the future of the Principality, they cannot be ordinary people. If they come back from the Shadow Cave this time without the awareness of sacrificing for the people of the Principality, then it will really be like that..."

"I think that a small trial can never make a person grow up so quickly. Even a group of such young people."

"So, being young... you have seen blood, flesh, and death. As long as you think more than before, it is considered growth. No one can really urge another person to grow. Most of the time, people just have to endure it." Pylos opened another book upside down and placed it on the table.

"War mobilization is very important. If the empire still cares so much about face and doesn't seek help, we will still go to support it. Our enemies have always been demons. They have bewitched other races. Doesn't the book we found say that? The demon leaders are probably just followers. The real "leader" is probably still controlling everything behind the scenes. When the principality needs them, they can take on this important task, and there won't be so many sacrifices." Pylos exhaled a heavy breath: "Huh, do you know how many casualties there are in the report I received?"

"..." Skarner obviously didn't want to mention it and looked at the book.

[There are many materials that can be collected in the Shadow Cave. In addition to the common herbs and materials that can be collected from the monsters above, there are also some rare things, such as "Light of the Wraith"

The reason why the Light of the Ghost is called the Light of the Ghost is not because it is a real light source. It is essentially a relatively small stone. Because it can be ground into powder through precise processing, it can drive relatively small corpses.

This kind of corpse includes any corpse that has already died. Any possible corpse has a certain probability of "coming back to life" and even retaining its original consciousness. It is something that the author is extremely afraid of.

Because it is still unclear whether this thing has any side effects, we can only say that this thing, which should be banned, should not exist in the world. This thing is completely beyond the ordinary and cannot be controlled by us. 】

"What the principal said was very obscure. This kind of thing should have serious side effects, but ordinary people can't enter the Shadow Cave that has been discovered, so... let him say whatever he wants." Pylos looked at the paragraph that Skarner was staring at and added: "In fact, when the principal came to discuss reprinting this book with me, he had already realized that the things in it should not be published. But I insisted that he write it down, because I am an archaeologist... What I need is the truth... Not any deceptive documents. Whether it is subjective or objective, it needs people to distinguish and write. Only what you see with your own eyes is the most real."

"…Okay…if we need to go find this thing, what is our use? Who is it for?"

Skarner closed the book. It was enough to just read the most important things. If he really wanted to read the rest one by one, it would be too low-level if he had to remember the generation of skeleton soldiers and how to deal with them in his head.

If this is the case, don't go to the cave.

A single skeleton soldier could cause your death, and this is no joke.

A tiger in troubled waters will be bullied by a dog. It is much more important to remember these things than to prevent yourself from falling into trouble.

"We'll talk about this later."

"Look at this again!" Pylos turned over the book that had been opened long ago.

Monsterpedia

"It records the main categories of Undead Knights and the classification of elemental crystals. It is a little more detailed than what the principal wrote. You'd better take a look at it." Pylos clicked on the location of the Undead Knight entry so that Skarner could see it at a glance.

"Undead Knights..." Skarner also became serious. He spoke slowly and clearly: "Undead Knights usually come from the name of a principality. They ride different types of mounts and fight as undead. Their combat power is amazing. Among them, the headless undead knight is the most powerful."

[The legend of the headless undead knight originated in ancient times. When the races began to fall apart, wars raged and many powerful humans died on the battlefield and became dead souls sleeping in the ground forever. One of the headless undead knights once appeared in the East Ipilan Plain of the Principality, leaving behind a horrifying legend.]

"It seems that our biggest enemy is not what we already know, but what we don't know." Pylos finished his coffee, touched his stomach, and took out the paper on the table.

"The Third and I visited the East Ipiran Plains. The people there were simple and honest, and they treated us very well. However, we did encounter a Dullahan, who was just a thief who used the name of the Dullahan to kill people. But there may be undead knights in the Shadow Cave."

Pylos smoothed the papers over the table and used a small stand to hold them.

"Well...if I go, I will definitely go deeper into the cave. I wonder if those little kids would like to see the Undead Knight..."

Pylos finished speaking and Skarner just glanced at him.

not talking.

The girl who called her grandpa has also grown up. She either follows her grandpa Tang Zilong or her grandpa Pylos. The most outrageous thing is that she is also super clingy to this grandpa Skarner, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

The enthusiasm made Skarner at a loss. When she started crying, he couldn't stand it and could only let her follow him obediently. This was not right, and that was not right.

"Elemental crystals... Elemental crystals are the embodiment of elements, generally called elemental bodies. This type of elemental crystal is most common in the Elf Kingdom and rarely found in other regions."

Pylos looked carefully but didn't find anything strange.

The Undead Knight is quite detailed, but it is too long and complicated, so I only picked out a few sentences to read.

[The Undead Knight is a creature of the Undead system, a branch of the Resentment Collection, and can naturally be effectively restrained by the light attribute.]

In fact, most of the time, everyone knows the basic principles, such as fire is afraid of water, water is afraid of thunder, and light and darkness counteract each other. However, in most cases, it still needs to be considered. Can low-level light magic be used against high-level dark magic?

The people who wrote this are not very rigorous.

Look at the title of the book.

Malena Elizabeth.

"Now, can you tell me? Why... no, why do I have to take a bunch of little kids to collect the Light of the Wraith?" Skarner closed the book in confusion and gave Pylos a puzzled look. "Hey... why are you always thinking about this... Here is another one, take a look... The Chronicle of Arlan, what happened in the Principality in 1753." Pylos handed another book to Skarner.

"During this year, a very famous person appeared..."

"Who?"

"With the dragon's..."

"With the dragon?"

Skarner saw the name.

以

Long

It.

Such a dragon.

It doesn't sound like the name of a principality, nor does it sound like the name of an empire.

It may not be the name of another race.

It's like a name taken out on its own.

"Yes, Yi Longzhi... The moves recorded by this person are very similar to the moves of the child we have been trying to find."

【Everyone present was stunned at the time. This huge explosion ended with black flames, and almost everyone was affected. On the crystallized ground of Gulanche, the person wrapped in the black flames was like a messenger of hell, taking away the lives of all the monsters. The girl who was traveling with him was already dead. His rage scared everyone, and no one dared to approach him.】

"This is the only evidence of the Gu Lanche explosion, and this name is engraved on the Gu Lanche's stone tablet." Pylos looked at Skarner, and Skarner looked at Pylos, somewhat confused.

"I know that there are many people who can do this, but his actions are very similar to that person. I heard that he is missing again..."

Pylos looked at his face seriously.

"Who?"

"Chang Yufeng...he is missing again..."

"What do you mean?" Skarner looked at Pylos seriously.

"Nothing... I just think it's very similar. If there is such a possibility, a woman who always has a tragic fate is the key to proving my idea. Now, everything is just speculation." Pylos shook his head and spread out a document in front of Skarner.

"Remember this sword?"

A green sword sample was carefully drawn on paper by Pylos, and the source was carefully marked - "The Code of the Demon Tribe"

"That kid's weapon...the time we went to Bailing Mountain."

"There is no mistake. This weapon that Young Master Bai Ling possesses is also recorded in Gu Lan Che. That stone tablet must have been written by someone who knows the inside story."

"No, no, no, Pylos, you need to wake up."

"I am awake." Pylos looked at Skarner.

Skarner had been with Pylos for so many years, so he naturally knew what he was thinking.

Everything that is related.

It's all too coincidental.

Perhaps he had been secretly observing someone since the Dragon Assembly that year.

He is the future savior described in that book.

Everything is speculation.

But, his name is Pylos.

His guess was not groundless.

"Unfortunately, the little brat reported that the whereabouts of the young master of the Ning family is unknown." Pylos said: "I have no way to prove my guess, but their moves are indeed similar."

"So, what do you want to say?"

"Skarner, do you know who is in the team you are going to lead? Grand Magister Erica Niemann. She has graduated from Fran, and she needs to follow you to the Shadowfall Cavern."

"..." Skarner was speechless.

It was not because of his usual dullness, but because Pylos' words did not seem to allow anyone to say anything.

feel.

"Okay, let me tell you, an important person has died. He knows a lot of secrets. We need to revive him and try to get the information out of him. This is very important."

"Who?"

"I can't tell you this. If I tell you, I'll die."

"Then let's not talk about it..."

So, I still didn’t tell myself.

No?
Pylos opened the last book.

The six words "Who is dominating the war" are right in front of Skarner.

He glanced.
