510 Skeleton King
Rondock could not figure out what Mrs. Kathel was thinking, but deep down he had long labeled Mrs. Kathel as "straightforward", "crawling and cunning", and even a wise person as wise as Colonel Zirabeca was so tightly grasped that he would not have any tricks to play.
Rondock has an objective evaluation of himself. He does not think he is a person who is good at conspiracy and tricks. Now that Mrs. Cassel sent him out, the best way is to complete the task step by step, not be self-righteous and make small moves, as it often goes against your wishes.
Three days later, Rondock found the bloody valley in the north of the Undead Kingdom based on the map given to him by Mrs. Kathel.
Because the surface contains a large amount of iron ore, the bottom of this valley that lasts hundreds of kilometers almost shows a dark red like blood. From a distance, it looks like a blood-red hell, especially under the sunset.
This is the area ruled by the Skeleton King. It is rumored that there are millions of evil skeletons in this valley, including humans, animals, and monsters.
When Rondok came here, he could sense a surging and rich death psychic energy from afar. In the center of the valley, there was a white circular tower, and the aura of death psychic energy was the strongest, which was the White Bone Tower where the Skeleton King lived.
Because of the richness of death psychic energy, it makes it even colder. Although it does not snow, the cold wind is bone-bone. Even if Rondock is already a semi-transformed person, he can still feel the coldness exceeding minus forty degrees. If it is an ordinary person, it will be almost difficult for him to survive in this climate.
Rondok looked at the tall tower of bones in the distance. It was actually the skeleton king's mage tower. According to Mrs. Kathel's information, the skeleton king was originally a magician. Even if he became a skeleton after his death, he still had a very high magical attainment. With the help of Princess Mulesina, he was almost one step away from being promoted to the natural disaster level.
Rondock did not choose to sneak in secret, and it was obviously not a wise choice to sneak into the mage tower of a legendary peak magician.
I saw a team of patrolling skeleton soldiers coming from afar. The skeleton soldiers were of low grade. The leader was only the formal level, and the ones behind were apprentice level. There was a faint green soul fire flashing in the black eye sockets. Rondock thought to himself that he could destroy all of the skeleton soldiers without a minute, but that was meaningless and could only annoy the skeleton king. So Rondock thought about it and walked out in a big way.
The patrolling skeleton soldiers immediately became alert and rushed up to surround Rondock without fear of death.
"Hey! Listen, I'm here to visit Lord Skeleton King, you guys go and report it." Rondock took a step back and immediately expressed his intention.
The skeleton soldier in the lead stared at Rondok and then suddenly stopped moving, as if he was suddenly broken. After about ten seconds, he moved again, but it was completely different from the personal feeling just now. A low and hoarse voice came: "Young man, who asked you to come to me?"
Rondock's heart moved, knowing that it was the Skeleton King's consciousness projected through the Skeleton soldier, and immediately replied: "On behalf of Lord Zero, I would like to greet you."
"Is Zero? Is he still alive?" The Skeleton King knew Zero, and he was still acquaintance when he heard the tone. This made Rondock's heart move and he thought to himself: "He asked Zero directly if Zero is still alive? What does this mean? Is Zero in the impression of this Skeleton King, Zero is almost dead? But... Mrs. Kathel is obviously very young and very healthy! Or is the Zero in the Skeleton King's impression of Zero not Mrs. Kathel at all?"
In an instant, many thoughts emerged in Rondock's mind, but he said calmly: "Mr. Zero is very good. This time I sent me here mainly to visit the Skeleton King and ask me to bring you a letter."
"Oh? Is there a letter from No. 0 to me?" The Skeleton King sneered meaningfully, then he was silent for a moment before saying, "Since that's the case, come here."
After saying that, the soul fire in the skeleton soldier's eyes suddenly dimmed and returned to his previous appearance. He looked at Rondock, but did not say anything, and then signaled Rondock to follow him.
The skeleton soldiers patrol team was not fast, and it took Rondok more than an hour to follow them to the bottom of the Tower of Bones. Fortunately, these skeleton soldiers led the way and no battle broke out along the way, which made Rondok breathe a sigh of relief. When he walked over, he discovered at least five or six legendary-level psionic fluctuations.
Rondo was secretly surprised. No wonder Mrs. Kathel wanted to cooperate with this Skeleton King. Obviously, this Skeleton King's strength is still above the Spider Queen. There are five or six legendary undead creatures under her own hands. In contrast, Spider Queen who broke into the heart of the human kingdom is only three legendary levels, including herself.
When he arrived at the bottom of the Tower of Bones, the patrol put down Rondock and left on his own.
The next moment, with a clang, the door of the Tower of Bones automatically opened, and it was black inside and it was completely impossible to see clearly. Only a gust of cold wind could be felt.
Rondok was not afraid. He was also very confident in his current strength. Although the Skeleton King showed strong strength, he should not be an opponent, but if he just wanted to escape, the other party should not be able to stop him.
With this confidence, Rondock walked into this Tower of Bones.
After passing a dark road, the front suddenly became bright and an office appeared.
Rondok had just felt a faint fluctuation in space. He knew that the dark aisle contained a space teleportation magic array, which could be directly teleported to various places in this mage tower. If the enemy came in, he might be directly teleported to extremely dangerous floors.
This office looks very humane, and there is almost no characteristic of the undead creature, except for a skeleton in a well-dressed suit sitting behind the desk.
The skeleton's eyes were beating green soul fire, looking at Rondock in an unknown way, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Are you sent by Zero to deliver the letter?" The Skeleton King slowly made a slightly hoarse voice.
"Yes, my respected Skeleton King, I'm very happy to see you." Rondock said leisurely, but he was even more careful in the secret. He always felt that the Skeleton King had some bad intentions towards him.
"Where is the letter from Zero?" The Skeleton King said slowly.
In fact, the Skeleton King does not like any outsider. In some people's eyes, he was thrown here by Princess Mulesina and ignored him. It seemed like he was exiled, but he himself did not have such consciousness. He felt it was good to stay in his mage tower, quietly studied some issues of interest, focused on practicing, and prepared to advance to the natural disaster level.
The last time he failed to hit the natural disaster level, the Skeleton King did not think it was because of his lack of quality. It was just that Princess Mulesina was too hasty and wanted to help grow before the melons were ripe. This was also the reason why he and Princess Mulesina gradually drifted apart later. There were essential differences in their personalities and understanding of magic.
Rondock took out a letter from Mrs. Cassel before handing him: "This is a handwritten letter from Lord Zero."
"Oh!" The Skeleton King looked at the letter sealed with magic meaningfully, and reached out to take it.
The sealing array on the letter paper fell down on the surface of the letter paper like melting ice and snow when it touched the Skeleton King's finger bones. If it weren't for the Skeleton King, someone wanted to force it to open it, the letter paper would automatically burn.
The Skeleton King used a letter-opening knife to open the envelope, took out the letters inside and read it quickly, but he looked at Rondock in a strange way just halfway through reading it, and then continued to read the remaining most of the rest. In less than three minutes, after reading the letter, the flames ignited directly, burning the letters to burn them without even a trace of ashes. Then he looked at Rondock and said, "I understand, come with me!" He stood up from behind the desk.
"I understand? What do you understand?" Rondock looked at the Skeleton King who walked out from behind the desk in a slightest sense. "Can you explain clearly what happened?"
"Oh? Didn't Number Zero tell you?" The Skeleton King said lightly: "Don't worry, I have no malice towards you. As for Number Zero... I also think I value you very much. I actually asked me to use the magic of the undead to help you suppress the side effects of semi-transforming people."
Rondock frowned. He didn't believe in the skeleton king's nonsense, nor did he believe that Mrs. Kathel would be so nice to him.
If you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal!
From the methods of Mrs. Kassel's dealing with Colonel Zirabeca, it can be seen that this is a woman who uses any means to achieve her goal, and everything she gives is purposeful.
"How do you help me suppress the side effects?" Rondock asked tentatively. Even though he knew that Madame Cassel and the Skeleton King were not good at slaughtering, the side effects of suppressing and transforming people were temptations that Rondock could not refuse. If he let it go, in the current situation, it would take only five years at most, and he would be completely distorted and destroyed by the side effects of transforming people, becoming a monster that completely lost its humanity. What's the point of living like that?
The Skeleton King stood in front of Rondok. He was two heads taller than Rondok. He was beating in his eyes with a high point, and he was vaguely mocking: "Young man, you can't believe me, or leave here now. I won't stop it, let alone force it, make a choice! Believe me... or leave!"
"But..." Rondock raised his head, and was extremely confused: "How can I confirm that you have no malice?"
The Skeleton King spread his hands and said, "There is no guarantee or promise. Don't forget that the young man was you who begged me. And No. Zero used a favor I owe him back then, otherwise why would you think No. Zero asked me to help him do things?" As he said that, regardless of whether Rondock agreed or not, he stepped out of the office.
