Chapter 311: Joy Castle Prison!
Jiang Chen fell into deep thought, everything here was different from what the Nine Gods had said on the way.
Not only were the people here disrespectful to the gods, but even the Nine Gods themselves had said that the closer they got to this place, the more they could regain their power. However, upon arriving here, they were all silent.
At this moment, Ye Qiu was chatting with a dwarf blacksmith, but the other party’s tone revealed various impatience.
"Human, go stay in the human burrow."
It was only at this time that they noticed that the situation here was like attracting like, and people were grouping together.
There was almost no interaction between different races, they were divided into several areas, not interfering with each other.
"We already cover eight races among us, so I think we can split up and try to contact our own races to see if we can gather any information."
"That’s a good idea, I will handle things on the dwarf side."
"I am in charge of humans."
Ye Qiu looked at Jiang Chen and said, "You… find a place with no people to wait for a while."
Jiang Chen pointed at himself, then realized that his skeleton face might not be suitable for talking to people.
The Eight Great Races might not get along here, but they all share a common hostility towards the undead.
From the beginning, Jiang Chen felt that everyone here was looking at him with intense hostility.
"Well… okay."
Jiang Chen said, then found a deserted corner to stay in.
Brother Faceless twisted and transformed into a human form.
"I always feel sorry for Brother Night Song."
Ye Qiu looked at Brother Faceless, "Will you accompany him to squat together?"
Brother Faceless paused, "Uh… president, I…"
Ye Qiu’s gaze hardened, Brother Faceless quickly covered his mouth, "I won’t say anything."
Ye Qiu ignored him and proceeded towards the area where humans lived.
Along the way, many people’s eyes fell on him, but none approached to speak.
It was as if they were afraid of something.
Ye Qiu squinted, these people were definitely not afraid of him.
So…
Ye Qiu looked up at a middle-aged man sitting on a stone seat in the center of the human camp.
The man had long black hair, scruffy beard, not very strong-looking, and wearing a collar around his neck.
Despite several women serving him, the people here looked at him with fear in their eyes.
Although also a prisoner, his treatment was completely different, indicating that this man was the king of this place.
Ye Qiu ignored the people and approached the man, asking, "What should I call you?"
The man lay on his side, half-opened his eyes, and looked at Ye Qiu, saying, "I am Dragon Thunder Caesar. What about you?"
Ye Qiu calmly replied, "I am Ye Qiu. Are you skilled?"
Caesar looked at Ye Qiu and asked, "How did you figure that out?"
Ye Qiu chuckled, "To make others submit, you need exceptional strength, intelligence, or wealth. Which one are you?"
Caesar also laughed, "I am none of those. I am just an ordinary person who likes to eat oranges."
"Oh, by the way, a few days ago, my friend brought me an orange as big as my fist, I was planning to enjoy it slowly when no one was around."
"But that night, my orange was gone."
"Do you think that’s annoying?"
Ye Qiu squinted, "So, who do you think stole your orange?"
Caesar glanced towards the distant dragonborn camp, "Haha, I just wanted to say I like oranges, the newcomer, did you bring something on board, like oranges?"
"Maybe?" Ye Qiu stared into Caesar’s eyes and said.
Caesar laughed, "Then I’ll wait and see, friend."
。。。
Leaving the human camp, Ye Qiu slammed his fist into the rock wall, "This jerk, trying to put my life on the line!"
Brother Faceless looked confused and asked, "No, Mr. President, what were you talking about earlier with all that orange stuff? Where can we get oranges for him?"
Ye Qiu looked at Brother Faceless and said, "Can’t you hear it?"
"He’s using oranges as an excuse to get us to go after the dragonborn!"
"Either he wants to test us with the dragonborn, or he just wants to show us who’s boss."
Brother Faceless scratched his head and asked, "What if we don’t get him any oranges?"
Ye Qiu leaned against the wall and rubbed his forehead, "It’s pretty simple. If you don’t play along, don’t expect to get any answers from him."
"Can we ask someone else then?" Brother Faceless wondered.
Ye Qiu shook his head, "No chance. As long as that guy called Dragon Caesar stays tight-lipped, no one else dares to talk."
"Let’s go find some players who have transformed into dragonborn and see if they have any useful information."
"We have never engaged in any shady deals where someone else takes the blame."
。。。
Night fell.
Jiang Chen wandered alone in Joy Castle, covering his face with a mask and hiding the exposed bones with gloves and clothes.
He walked through the woods and spotted a small cabin away from the crowds.
Curious, Jiang Chen entered the cabin and found a woman in a black robe sitting by a campfire, her body slightly curled.
Her weary expression, dull yellow eyes, and purple blood vessels crawling on her face were quite unsettling.
However, for the emotionally detached Jiang Chen… he felt nothing.
Seeing Jiang Chen enter the room, the woman suddenly smiled, "They all fear approaching me because they fear death."
"Why do you dare to come near me?"
Jiang Chen looked at the woman, "Because I just arrived today."
The woman smirked, "That’s unfortunate, you probably won’t see the sun tomorrow."
Jiang Chen gazed at the woman, "Why?"
The woman pointed to her face, "Can’t you tell, you’re not from around here?"
"The frenzied flame can kill any life within a day, and it’s highly contagious. Just by staying near me for half a second, you’ll get infected."
"So, are you scared now?"
Jiang Chen slowly took off the mask from his face, "Scared, haha, can the Undead Clan also get sick?"
"You’re actually from the Undead Clan…" The woman’s pupils shrank, but quickly turned into a smile.
"So, you’re not the first Undead Clan with wisdom that I’ve met. I’ve met another wise Undead Clan member before."
"His name is Fane. He says he’s an ancient relic who crawled out of a grave and woke up with nothing."
"He claims to have served the God King and even the Nine Gods addressed him as equals. He also says he belongs to the Eternal Clan, the oldest life form in the world."
"Hmm, I don’t mean anything by it, I’m just saying, could the oldest life form in the world really be a bunch of skeletons?"
"It’s like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg. It’s pointless and just a waste of time… ahem!"
"Ahem, ahem!"
The woman suddenly started coughing violently, "Sorry, my illness is deep-seated, I may not have many days left."
"But I still hope that after I die, someone will remember my name. To be forgotten is the most dreadful death."
Jiang Chen looked at the woman and asked, "What is your name?"
The woman weakly smiled and said, "I’m honored that you asked, my name is Seruci, but my family calls me Lucy."
"I used to be a despised Undead Sorcerer, people called me the Priestess of Death, and still do today."
"My illness is a result of my own actions."
Undead Sorcerer?
Jiang Chen was surprised, "Undead Sorcerer, why does it have a human body? Shouldn’t it be like me?"
Seruci lifted her head, "No, you are not an Undead Sorcerer. Undead Sorcerers never mean abandoning the physical body."
"For an Undead Sorcerer of the Undead tribe, we have a different name, called lich."
Lich?
At that moment, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered Aosia’s words.
Each Undead Sorcerer is different, there are no completely identical powers in the world unless your power is inherited!
Jiang Chen was taught by Malthus, so he will naturally become more and more like Malthus in the end!
This is why Jiang Chen’s path as an Undead Sorcerer will transform himself into a true member of the Undead Clan!
