Chapter 437: Keystone clues

Chapter 437 Clues to the Keystone

After just a few short conversations, Yi Chen could tell that the original deceased had an almost obsessive pursuit of death. In other words, the reason why he has never left here is because it can provide the best Explore the environment.

 It’s no wonder that I heard such a conversation in the elevator before.

The original deceased does not seem to have much control over the knights, the original tomb, or even the entire realm of the dead, and instead lets the groups of the dead manage themselves.

 “Senior, you...”

Yichen originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask some in-depth questions about the plague, death, and the original dead themselves, but he was suddenly surrounded by a black mist and whispered in his ears.

"Okay, our conversation ends here. I will continue to explore death and stop your meaningless questions. Come see me again after you fulfill the agreement in the contract."

The black mist enveloped him, and in the blink of an eye, Yi Chen was sent away from the secret room and the mausoleum, all the way back to the top of the ramp.

 The elevator doors also opened simultaneously.

Wei Wei, whose front body was completely covered with black hair, was standing at the door. She grabbed Yi Chen's throat, pulled him out from the black mist, and threw him to the ground so hard that you could even hear the sound of his spine being broken.

This was no big deal to Yi Chen, who was wearing dead makeup, and was even a little happy. Then he responded with a twisted posture with a broken spine: "Thank you."

These words made Weiwei slightly stunned. She turned her head and stared at the young man lying on the ground between her black hair. At the same time, she also noticed that the black mist surrounding the young man actually formed a skull pendant on his chest.

An extremely cold voice came from under the black hair again, "At first, the dead seemed to think highly of you. They granted you the status of a 'superior dead citizen' after just one meeting. It seems that we will become colleagues in the future."

 “Higher dead people?”

Yi Chen finally realized what he was doing. He lowered his head and looked at the skull pendant on his chest. Black mist was constantly spraying out from the skull's eye sockets and mouth.

“By the way, what can this identity be used for?”

 “Ask Bernard, I don’t have time to answer you.”

The elevator reaches the fourth floor of the original tomb, which is also the highest-level residential area for the dead. Only the Plague Knights, outstanding trainee knights or superior dead people are qualified to live here.

However,

Yi Chen stepped out of the elevator but did not see any buildings, only a group of neatly arranged tombstones.

However, each tombstone is far apart and the tombstones are made of different materials. You can even see solid gold tombstones made of old world gold.

The tombstone is engraved with the deceased’s surname, which seems to represent the corresponding residence.

Just as Yi Chen stood at the entrance of the elevator and looked around the area of ​​dead people, a warg ran towards him from a distance. The latter also jumped up with a sudden leap and stepped directly on the back of the warg.

Soon, under the leadership of the warg, they came to a tombstone with hair and a wolf head carved on the top. The name engraved on it was "Bernard".

 The warg stretched out its flesh pad and lightly touched the surface of the tombstone, corresponding to the opening of a secret staircase leading downward.

 That’s right,

The deceased's room is built underground, so that it can be closer to the lowest level and absorb as much as possible the ancient death plague emitted by the original deceased.

Thirteen was sitting on the stone bench in the living room. When she saw the teacher arriving, the candlelight above her head quickly doubled in size. Her excitement could be seen even without any change in her expression.

Bernard, who had taken off his wolf helmet, also walked out of the next room. Under the mask was a resolute and handsome human face.

There was just a cut mark on the face that spanned the right eyebrow, the bridge of the nose and the cheek. The cut mark exposed the white bones, which was horrifying.

 Bernard also noticed the pendant on Yi Chen's chest for the first time, "Huh? The superior dead people... are you going to let the boss take the knight assessment?"

"No, because I have other things to do in the old world. I won't be able to stay in the original tomb for long, so naturally I won't think about the issue of the Knights."

"What?! You won't stay long, but the boss still gives you the status of a superior dead citizen... It seems that it must be related to the weird death in you."

 Are you really not going to stay? With your strength, you will definitely pass the knight assessment easily. When you complete the path, you will become an official knight and enjoy the highest treatment in the original tomb. "

“I still have contract matters that I have to deal with, so I can’t stay long now, I’m really sorry.”

Bernard sighed, "Forget it, since the boss didn't keep you, it's useless for me to say anything... When are you leaving?"

Yi Chen turned to pull off the "Dead Spine Lake" pretending to be a tail and held it in his hand, "I want to buy a "Dead Man's Keystone" and then find the blacksmith of the original tomb to transform and upgrade this spine. "

As soon as he said this, Bernard's expression immediately became serious, and his eyes even turned red, "Where did you get the information about the "Keystone of the Dead"? "

 “Duke.”

“I see, it seems that the Duke just told you about this thing, and did not introduce the origin of this thing in detail.

 This is a treasure that even members of our Knights cherish very much. Even in the original tomb, it is priceless and has no market. It is impossible to buy it. After all, I don’t even have it in my hands. "

 “How to get it?”

“Killing [Abyss Death Image] has a chance to drop it.

However, this is not an existence that you can contact. Even our knights need to form a team to fight against it. After all, it is a dangerous dead thing that was born in the gap of death while the boss was exploring death. "

Hearing these words, Yi Chen's eyes widened and he asked quickly,

“Will you conduct a crusade in the near future? Can you take me with you? During the crusade, you don’t have to spend any time on me. Even if I die, it has nothing to do with you.

  If I fail to contribute during the expedition, there is no need to give me any spoils. "

 In fact, when Bernard learned that Yi Chen was unwilling to stay in the original tomb, he lost a lot of interest and was naturally unwilling to accept such a proposal.

But along the way, this kid left a very good impression on him, and at first the deceased directly gave him the status of a superior dead citizen. Although he will not join the Knights, he still maintains contact with the original tomb, which is really difficult. reject.

“It’s very troublesome~ Let’s do this, if you can let Weiwei come with us, I will apply to conquer the “Death Statue”. "

"Weiwei...what is her relationship with you?"

 “We used to be teammates, but unfortunately we got separated due to some things.”

When Bernard was talking about this matter, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the giant tombstone sword leaning in the corner.

"If I can persuade Ms. Weiwei, can you take me to fight against the dead statue? Okay... give me some time, Thirteen, let's go!"

 “Yes, teacher.”

Bernard didn't say much and let Yi Chen leave. In his opinion, this request was impossible to achieve. After all, he had been working hard for many years, but the gap still existed.

Thirteen asked with some worry: "Teacher, shall we go find the lady in charge of the elevator now? That person looks so scary and can't speak well at all."

"No, first I will use the identity given to me by the deceased to find a place to live, temporarily cut off contact with Bernard, and investigate this Ms. Weiwei from all aspects, and then I will find a perfect opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation. "

Yi Chen chose to take an ordinary elevator to the residential area of ​​the dead (ordinary) located on the second floor of the original tomb. Using his identity as a pendant and paying ancient coins, he stayed in an underground hotel called the "Black Funeral House" and prepared to carry out the operation. His personal plans.
