Chapter 149 The Victim Arrives

"What happened? My knight lost contact?!"

In front of the obelisk, Sebastian, who was waiting for the stone slab to be unsealed, lost his voice in horror. Not only the knights he had carefully trained, but even the summoned skeleton soldiers had lost their senses.

Suffered a devastating blow and the entire army was wiped out?
impossible!
One can imagine how strong the magic fluctuation was when three skeleton knights were destroyed at once. It is impossible that there would be no movement at all.

Sebastian quickly switched perspective and looked through the white skull.

The skeleton soldiers don’t matter, there are endless leeks to harvest. The skeleton knight is his painstaking work, he can’t just sacrifice it in such a muddle.

High in the sky, white skulls slowly lowered their heads, and the scene of the skeleton parade came into Sebastian's eyes.

Leading the way were three skeleton knights. The skeleton soldiers marched in unison in a neat square formation, slowly and unhurriedly walking towards the obelisk.

The knight in the center was riding an undead warhorse, wearing black armor, and his tattered gray cloak moved without wind. He seemed to sense his gaze and slowly raised his head to look over.

"Death knight!"

Sebastian was even more surprised.

If it was the Death Knight, he would indeed have the ability to deprive the Skeleton Legion of control. He was surprised why the Death Knight would be in Silent Hill, why in the ruins, and why he would go to the trouble of ordering him to find the stone slab?

This is unreasonable!
"Did something unexpected happen?"

Sebastian was very confused and hurried towards the queue.

……

"Great Death Knight, Sebastian greets you."

Sebastian came to the front of the queue, put one hand on his chest to show respect, and did not feel resentful about the loss of the Skeleton Legion.

"Sebastian, has the seal on the slab been broken?"

Wayne spoke softly and looked towards the direction of the obelisk. The rich elemental fluctuations made him salivate. If he had not lost his salivary glands after the transformation, his saliva would have already flowed down.

"Your Excellency the Knight, I have just finished the arrangements. Please wait a little longer."

"Well, you did a good job. It saved me a lot of time." Wayne sighed meaningfully.

"Sebastian, I dare not take credit for it. Everything was thanks to your leadership. It was you who pointed out the location of the stone slab and provided the elemental ring. I was just carrying out the mission."

"Well said. I have seen your loyalty to the goddess. After the matter is accomplished, I will personally recommend you to the goddess. You will definitely have a place in the kingdom of God." Wayne made the promise readily.

“Thank you for your generosity, this is what I should do.”

Sebastian was deeply moved and excited to the point of tears. He raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears and took the opportunity to glance at the Death Knight.

The conversation felt very strange, it seemed that the knights today were a little different from before.

There is no difference in appearance, the Undead Warhorse and the Artifact Shadow Nightmare are all fine, but the tone and voice of speech...

Death Knight changed his voice again?
Sebastian had seen the Death Knight twice in the Catacombs of Paris. The first time, the Death Knight appeared in full armor and his majestic appearance left a deep impression on him. Inspiration burst out, and he copied the other party's appearance.

The second time, the Death Knight summoned Sebastian and ordered him to find the stone slab. He did not see the true face of the Death Knight, and when he gave the task, there was a thick barrier between them.

The sound was different both times!

The first time was sonorous and powerful, with an irresistible strength and might; the second time was dull and hoarse, so cold and gloomy that it made people feel scared.

The third time, it changed again. Although he was still superior, he was obviously much more friendly.

It has a lightness and a more human touch.

Sebastian likes the current Death Knight. He was out of his reach the previous two times, and he was trembling with fear like a minion, flattering him for fear of hitting the horse's hoof.

He led the way to welcome the Death Knight, and a group of busy miners also came forward to pay their respects.

"Sebastian, don't waste time, quickly unlock the seal of the obelisk." Wayne ignored the group of bootlickers and looked intently at the obelisk. The energy slots on the four sides flashed different lights, continuously injecting the four elements.

The more I watch it, the more sci-fi it becomes. I always feel that once the energy is accumulated, it will blast the moonlight down with one shot.

"My subordinate understands."

Sebastian shouted loudly, asking his men to speed up, set up a few more magic circles, and use all four elements in the ruins.

Sebastian stood beside the undead warhorse, looked at the two skeletons among the skeleton soldiers, and frowned deeply.

"Sir Knight, Oscar and Mana are elites that have been trained by the church for many years. They are also favored by the Agent. I don't know why they offended you?"

"I told them I was a Death Knight, but they didn't believe me, so I proved it to them."

"..."

The corner of Sebastian's mouth twitched. Even a blind man could see that it was such a huge undead sword. What was there to prove?

He didn't dare to say that the Death Knight killed loyal people indiscriminately, and speculated that Oscar and Mana were seeking their own death, saying things that he shouldn't have said.

"Sir Knight, there are two little mice in the west, one of which is a natural cultist..."

"I am that cultist!"

"???"

"According to the oracle of the goddess, the holy war is about to begin, and the stone slab is also prepared for this. I came to Windsor to destroy the Church of Nature from within." Wayne talked nonsense, trying to get more information from Sebastian.

He was very curious about the current situation of the True Death Knight. According to the Thousand-Eyed Demon, he had been controlled by the Lord of Hell and was working for others while receiving the salary from the Goddess.

At Dragon Heart Island, Wayne failed to summon Shadow Nightmare, but the Death Knight interfered and demonstrated his ability to take Shadow Nightmare back at any time.

But the Death Knight did not do so. He was strict with himself and lenient with others, allowing Wayne to wield his sword and ride his horse.

Even the Minotaur Knight Wayne would believe in such a broad mind.

There is obviously something wrong!
Sebastian was surprised by the Death Knight's actions, and felt that they were a bit unnecessary. He suddenly realized, "No wonder you bypassed your subordinates to set up a new base in Lendan. But if that's the case, why didn't you summon me to Lendan, but instead sent me all the way to Paris..."

"Why do you have so many questions?"

Wayne interrupted directly, saying that the leader has the final right of interpretation, changing orders every day is called adaptability, and being moody is called using both kindness and severity. It is just a matter of subordinates obeying orders, so why are they so curious.

Sebastian stopped talking decisively. Seeing that he was so obedient, Wayne simply let go and asked directly: "Before the seal of the stone tablet is broken, let me test you. What did I say to you when I assigned the task?"

He looked down at Sebastian, and the two white lights in his eye sockets suddenly shrank: "You like knights so much, if you dare to miss a word, I will turn you into a skeleton knight."

Sebastian's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that something bad had happened, his leader had discovered that he had plagiarized his leader's style.

He said hurriedly: "I have been active in Windsor these years. According to the strategic deployment of the church, I have to stay away from London and not get close to it. It was not until Guy conveyed your order that I..."

The reputation of the Goddess of Death in the God's Chosen Continent is average. Except for a few countries, the Church of Death cannot operate openly. Windsor is no exception. There is a belief in death, but it operates in secret.

Sebastian is a golden wizard who also serves as a bishop. He is the highest person in charge of the Church of Death in Windsor. According to the orders of the church, he cannot leave Windsor without reason, nor can he enter the capital, London.

At the same time, another order was issued to collect intelligence from Lundan and grasp the movements of the phalanx as soon as possible.

The two orders are not contradictory. Just because Sebastian cannot enter Lundan does not mean he cannot plant spies in the system. Eclipse Town is very close to Lundan, and Mayor Wales is just a piece of the plan.

He expanded his circle of connections with higher-ups by bribing the mayor, and then used the bribery accounts as a threat to demand information about Lundan.

There are many chess pieces like Wales, which basically achieves the goal of even though the players are not in London, their ears and eyes are everywhere in London.

The Death Knight summoned Sebastian in Paris and made him disobey two orders in a row: not to leave Windsor and not to go near London.

Guy is the highest person in charge of the Church of Death in Falak. Due to the existence of the huge underground tomb, all the strong men were blocked by the Death Knights. He lives a very comfortable life and his power develops rapidly.

Guy conveyed the summons of the Death Knight, and Sebastian entered Paris illegally and got the task of the ring and the stone tablet. "You told me that the stone tablet sealed in the obelisk is related to a buried history. There was a fallen god..."

"God of Storm and Thunder!"

"His name has been erased and does not exist in any known history..."

"The stone tablets contain his divine power, which is scattered in every corner of the God's Chosen Continent. On the day of reunion, the power of storm and thunder will surely be used by the goddess."

"The moment the stone tablet appeared, other stone tablet holders could see this place. You also gave them the Book of Seals..."

Sebastian repeated his words, not missing a single word or punctuation mark, and said respectfully at the end: "Unlocking the seal requires a massive forceful impact of the four elements. You gave me four rings, and I dare not take them for myself. I am going to return them together with the stone tablet."

Erased history...

God of Storm and Thunder!
It has a big name, it has both storm and thunder, and it sounds quite powerful at first glance. The Book of Greed can have another good meal.

And in the initial war of faith, I'm afraid more than one god fell.

Wayne was so absorbed in what he heard that he was greedy for a moment. He nodded and said, "Sebastian, it is so important that I am going there in person. There is no need to send it to Paris. I will take the stone tablet and the ring away with me."

"As it should be."

Sebastian lowered his head, feeling somewhat depressed. He gained nothing from all the hard work and even lost two generals.

What about the Skeleton Army? Will the Death Knight take them directly back to the underground tomb?

Sebastian could fully imagine how crazy his archenemy Guy would laugh when he learned about this.

A letter every day, nothing written, just hahaha!
Wayne asked a few more questions and asked Sebastian to answer them one by one in the name of assessment. In the latter's view, these questions were meaningless and the answers were self-evident.

Although the Death Knight was very strange today, Sebastian did not suspect that he was a fake. As the saying goes, faith makes people firm, while religion makes people foolish. Once you believe in it, you will be deeply trapped in it.

While the two were talking, the younger brothers set up a few more magic circles, running around just to satisfy their leader.

Under the combined charge of the ring and the four elements of the ruins, the energy tank rushed to the top of the obelisk, and a dazzling arc of electricity burst out at the pointed corner, sweeping across the sky and opening up a sky of thunder.

The pale light illuminated the entire Giant City ruins. The white skeleton cast by Sebastian was affected by the lightning and turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.

Sebastian had no time to be surprised and stared straight at the obelisk that had changed dramatically.

Lightning poured down along the energy tank, breaking off a large amount of brick and stone fragments along the way. The strong impact made the earth rumble, and the falling boulders caused heavy casualties among the miners.

When the white light faded, a crack appeared above the ruins. From time to time, a huge rock fell, and the dim moonlight shone into the ruins of the Giant City through the gap.

The obelisk peeled off its surface stone, reflecting the moonlight to reveal its true appearance.

The obelisk, about a hundred meters high, stands tall and straight. It is made entirely of gold and is carved with an image of a giant holding a thunder storm in his hand. It reflects the moonlight and shines brightly, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

On Wayne's skull, two balls of white light were jumping violently. With his good eyesight, he could see very clearly that the obelisk was shrinking in size as its outer shell was peeling off, from being unmeasurable at first to its current height of a hundred meters.

Still shrinking!

The process of shrinking was accompanied by the friction sound of the mechanism being reorganized, and the obelisk finally shrank to 50 meters before stopping. For a giant, this size is just right, and for an ordinary person, it is still tall and majestic.

The miners who survived by chance, including Sebastian, held their breath, their eyes filled with greed for gold.

In the Death Knight mode, Wayne had a clear mind and quickly recovered from the shock. He snorted coldly, "Sebastian, seal the obelisk immediately. I told you that once the stone slab is unsealed, it will be noticed by others."

Sebastian shuddered and rushed to the obelisk. He looked up at the complex text he had never seen before, waved his stick to open the black curtain, and two skeleton soldiers walked out carrying a black-covered book.

The black book is fifty centimeters long, thirty centimeters wide, and more than fifteen centimeters thick, and looks more like a file box.

The sealed book!

On the back of the black cover is the spine and two rows of ribs, and on the front cover is a pair of crossed skeletal arms, quite in the style of the Church of Death, but the skull embedded in the center of the cover is full of hell style.

A pale human face, a black keratin mask covering the bridge of the nose, and two rows of symmetrical red slanted eyes.

The skeleton soldier gently placed the Sealed Book on the ground with a heavy sound. Sebastian opened the Sealed Book and saw a dark tide surging inside. There was not a single page, proving once again that it was a document box.

The Book of Seals had already been set up with a trigger mode. When it was opened, black chains emerged from the tide, grew thicker and larger in mid-air, and wrapped around the obelisk slabs and tied them up tightly.

Then, a pair of pale arms stretched out from the Sealed Book. The white arms were slender, and the ten nails were long and black. They also became thicker and bigger, and they clamped the obelisk on both sides, lifting it up into the air.

With the combined effect of the chains and the ghost hand, the obelisk slowly shrank until it could just fit the Sealed Book.

The process went smoothly and Sebastian was obviously well prepared.

To be more precise, the evil god of hell who was controlling the Death Knight behind the scenes had prepared everything and was just waiting for the Death Knight to deliver the Sealed Book.

Sebastian took back the ring, closed the Book of Seals, and completed the task perfectly. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the ground rumbled and shook, and the earthquake continued like this.

The ruins lost their obelisk, or in other words, they lost the core pillar of their overall balance, and the space where they were located physically overlapped with the elemental mountain. After being reset, the ruins and the mountain collided violently.

perish together!

Seeing that the Elemental Mountain was about to collapse, Sebastian hurriedly came to Wayne holding the Sealed Book and the Ring: "Great Death Knight, please allow my subordinates to leave first. They still have to serve the goddess and should not be buried here."

"No problem, I'll just send them away."

Wayne took the ring and pulled out the Shadow Nightmare. Under Sebastian's surprised gaze, the surging aura of death spread, flesh and blood rotted, and the living were transformed into skeleton soldiers on the spot.

What kind of sending is this? Is it to kill someone to silence him?

"Sir Knight, what are you doing..."

Sebastian was stunned. He was filled with shock, confusion and fear. He didn't know what to say.

Swish!
There was a flash of white light.

No, it’s dangerous!

Sebastian stepped back and looked in horror at the Death Knight wielding the knife at him.

Fortunately, he dodged quickly, otherwise...

Why is it so cold?
In Sebastian's eyes, the Death Knight slowly separated from the waist, the upper body tilted and slid down, a streak of blood spread out, and slid down along with the head of the undead warhorse.

Shadow Nightmare could not possibly betray his master, so the only one who died was Sebastian. His head was cut in half at an angle, and his vision was split as he saw the above scene.

Wayne wielded Shadow Nightmare, the snow-white blade was not stained with blood. As the sword pointed to the ground, Sebastian turned into a skeleton soldier and stood up with a stick in his hand.

A golden wizard disappeared without a trace.

Wayne jumped off his undead warhorse and tucked the Book of Seals under his arm. With the background of collapsing and falling rocks, he was calm and elegant.

"Yulia, open the portal."

Just as Yulia opened the portal, something strange happened. The Book of Seals touched the body of the Death Knight, and a ray of thought rushed over.

This thought was so powerful that it directly knocked Wayne out of the Death Knight state.

Gray mist swirled, and a desolate figure appeared in the air.

The headless death knight in black armor and tattered cape roared, "Yulia, Shadow Nightmare, what are you doing?"

Wayne: "..."

Oh no, the victim is here!
