Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 396 The Dissipating Gloom: Commander - "Information"

Vines meandered along the gray exterior walls, their branches and leaves obscuring the doors and windows, while sunlight filtered through the gaps, creating dappled beams of light in the hall.

""clean""

Benjeri, the "Abyss," sat in the hall of the abandoned castle, gently raising his finger bone and pointing it at the void in front of him.

A deep blue magical energy spread.

The dust in the room was swept away in an instant, and even the cobwebs inside the broken lamp and the moss in the corners of the walls disappeared with the dust.

Magic is truly amazing.

Benjerry of the Abyss has always believed that the power of any "rank magic" is proof of the endless pursuit of knowledge by the magic caster.

Hey~
The finger bones tapped lightly on the table, producing a light, cheerful sound.

Benjer's two heads swayed slightly; he was in a good mood lately.

The gloom that had been hanging over their heads finally felt like it was about to "break through the clouds and see the light of day," even though the undead didn't like sunlight.

Swish!
Ripples rose in the air ahead.

Iver's figure appeared in the hall in an instant.

"Abyss" Benjeri's head stopped simultaneously, and his two pairs of scarlet eyes looked at the vampire lady opposite him with kindness and expectation.

Her petite body resembles that of a human child; if it were an undead race, it would be a meaningless outward appearance.

Even with his experience.

Even Benjer, the "Abyss," couldn't determine the exact age of the vampire woman opposite him.

He suddenly felt that he needed to develop a magic that could detect age, so that he could obtain some useful information from the side.

For the immortal, the longer they exist, the richer their knowledge and experience become, and if they can detect the age of another person.

This allows you to determine the other person's level of knowledge to a certain extent.

"Hello, vampire lady."

Benjer, the "Abyss," did not know the other party's name, and even though they had communicated several times, he still did not intend to tell him.

I did guess some of it.

The magical props used by the other party to conceal their undead identity suggest that they belong to one of the "two factions"—the undead who operate or expand their influence among the living.

Undead of this style are always cautious, after all, all undead are enemies of the living, and hiding themselves and their names is a perfectly normal behavior and habit.

"Lord Benjerri."

Iverai nodded slightly in response, pulled out a wooden chair, and sat down in the opposite seat.

The leader of the Abyss Body extended the invitation, and the deal between the two parties had already been completed.

The other party requested a meeting again, and even if Iverie couldn't deduce the exact purpose, she could guess it.

"Thank you for your generosity, sir."

"In terms of the content of the transaction, the value of the knowledge we provide is lower than that of this 'magical ascension ritual'."

Benjeri from "The Abyss" expressed his heartfelt gratitude, which was not a compliment but a fact.

The mysterious undead behind this vampire lady must be a scholar of the magical chanting type.

In this series of transactions, the other party did not exchange knowledge of powerful magical forces, but rather information on legends and humanities.

The recent research on "vampire immortals" is probably also related to the vampire lady in front of me.

generous!

This is another impression that "Abyss" Benjeri has of that mysterious undead.

If the timing weren't so bad, he would definitely try his best to pull the other party into the inner circle. Of course, this vampire lady also has the qualifications.

Iverie peered through the gap in the white mask at the figure opposite him, her tone calm: "Lord Benjeri, may I state my purpose directly?"

"Ah, that's right."

Benjeri found it difficult to say "Abyss," but for the sake of that "certainty," his voice carried a glimmer of hope:
"I wonder if it would be possible for me to meet that compatriot in person?"

“I’m sorry,” Iver replied curtly.

Expected.

"The Abyss," Benjer thought to himself.

Apart from a minor incident involving a miscommunication regarding the "Sanctuary," the transaction between the two parties proceeded smoothly overall, but that person never showed up.

Initially, the opponent's goal was to obtain a solution from them, the "Abyssal Bodies," because a mistake in high-level magic had caused the negative effect of complete invisibility.

And a series of successful transactions.

However, the other party never made contact with them, but instead sent this vampire lady to communicate with him.

The outcome is not hard to guess.

It's simply their current predicament as beings of the Abyss.

"Tell the truth."

Benjeri, the "Abyss," paused briefly, feeling he needed to be honest about some things; it was a price he had to pay.
“We have already begun to resist. That ‘bloodsucker’ that’s clinging to us met with the gentleman behind you in an attempt to gain further assistance.”

"We are all compatriots... Um, I'm not trying to play the emotional card. What I mean is... the original purpose of the [Abyss Body] was not to stir up trouble or expand the organization, etc."

"We immortals possess eternal life, and what we pursue is nothing more than knowledge..."

Iver suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute."

"Abyss" Benjer was taken aback, his two heads turning as he looked at the other side with a puzzled expression.

"Are you going to start resisting now?" Iver's voice rose a few decibels.

Part of the reason for this meeting was to push for a complete breakdown in the relationship between the [Abyssal Body] and the mysterious True Dragon King, as planned.

Not only does the Dragon King want to quickly identify the mysterious True Dragon King, but Iver'ai does the same, according to what the Dragon King said.

The one that destroyed the Kingdom of Inberia and turned everyone into immortals was a powerful primordial magic.

If we can meet that mysterious true dragon king, we can determine whether it was he who destroyed the kingdom!

in this regard.

Iverie wanted to know more than anyone else.

"Arrogance is folly, vampire lady."

"Abyss" Benjerry thought that Iveria believed it was too hasty for them to prepare to rebel so soon after obtaining the "Magic Ascension Ritual," so he became serious and said earnestly:
“We started preparing a long time ago. This was not a hasty decision. Our original plan was to find a new ‘restraint’ to counter that guy.”

"Now that we have mastered the power of the 'Magic Ascension Ritual,' we have the power to use the 'Divine Domain.'"

"This force is sufficient to act as a deterrent!"

"The Abyss," Benjerry's tone became excited. The long-standing oppression had finally reached its moment to be shattered.

Finding a "counterforce" that can counter that guy is not a simple matter. It also involves questions such as whether a "new counterforce" will become like the other guy and turn into a new bloodsucker.

And now!
The problem is solved; the 10th-rank magical power is enough for the inner circle members to fight that guy.

If we could also get the assistance of the lady vampire, who also possesses 8th-rank magical power, we might be able to kill that guy completely!
"Is that so?" Iveria suppressed the emotions rising within her.

did not expect.

These undead beings of the Abyss, having just gained the power of the ritual, are already preparing to rebel, demonstrating that the mysterious True Dragon King's exploitation of these people has long reached an unbearable level!

But—it's absolutely fantastic!

“The master has already given instructions that we do not intend to get involved in this matter,” Iverai said, feigning concern.

Deep down, they were actually hoping that the two sides would go to war immediately!
"no no!"

"Abyss" Benjerry quickly replied, "This time we're willing to pay any price!"

Speaking of the word "any".

His tone became noticeably stronger, and even the negative energy in the hall seemed to surge.

This is an awareness we absolutely must have!
If they succeed, there's nothing more to say; but if they fail, the consequences are predictable: their entire [Abyss Body] will be utterly destroyed.

In the words of the living, no matter how many gold coins one possesses, they become meaningless once one dies.

"Abyss" Benjerry looked at Iveria with great solemnity, his two pairs of scarlet eyes gleaming with anticipation.

So much important information has been revealed!
This has reached a point of extreme trust.

The reason for this was not only that the other party was also an undead brethren, but also that the gentleman had entrusted the ritual to them, demonstrating a friendly attitude.

The Dragon King has foreseen this!
Iveria was startled, remembering that when she first started using the ritual for the transaction, she felt the value was unequal.

The Dragon King once said that what he valued was not the knowledge of trading, but all the knowledge of the entire [Abyss Body].

"I greatly admire your decision."

"In that case—I need to report to the magistrate and get his opinion."

Iveria raised her head slightly, looking at the undead opposite her who was even stronger than her with a pitiful gaze.

This seems to be an inevitable outcome!

Although they were all undead, Iveria didn't like them. She was originally human, not one of their kind.

In my heart!
Iverai exists as a sense of self-identity as a "living" or "human being".

the other side.

When Tang Zheng received the message from Iver Ai, he was quite surprised and taken aback.

What was supposed to be the most troublesome thing went surprisingly smoothly. He hadn't expected that the [Abyss Body] would be so eager to rebel against that mysterious dragon king.

Faced with this situation!

Tang Zheng wouldn't refuse. He had been stuck at level 60 for a while, and now it wasn't a matter of experience, but rather a matter of his class.

There is too little information available about advanced or specialized professions.

At his current level, it's clearly not enough for him to make contact with and investigate the top forces and individuals in the other world!

Iver began to have more frequent contact with her.

at the same time!

The inner members of the "Abyss Body" began transporting their research knowledge and data outwards like ants carrying food. In Tang Zheng's view, Benjeri and the others from the "Abyss" had clearly made the worst-case scenario plan.

—Aberlein Hills.

After nearly three months of effort, Anri and "Beast General" Hector Wies led the demi-human army to clear out the remaining undead in the hilly area.

Until this moment!
The crisis brought about by the legendary undead "Death Knights" has finally been completely eliminated. Perhaps there are still scattered small groups of undead deep in the hills, but they are no longer a threat.

On the desolate grassland.

"Beast General" Hector Wies bent down, looking at the green shoots emerging from the withered ground, a slight smile appearing on his stern face.

"The grass is only sprouting now, which is much late, but the drought in the hilly areas has been significantly alleviated."

"Beast General" Hector Wies exhaled, stood up and looked into the distance, his eyes flashing with sadness and relief.

suddenly.

I caught a glimpse of a slender figure out of the corner of my eye.

"Beast General" Hector Wies paused, and in his field of vision, there were elite squads composed of several demi-human races, including centaurs, sword-wielding insects, four-legged beasts, and half-human, half-beast.

Its main characteristic is its ability to run.

Only those with strong operational capabilities can completely eradicate the undead that have infested the entire hilly area within three months.

Among these demi-human races, there was only one human figure.

tread!
"Beast General" Hector Wies strode steadily toward the somewhat lonely figure sitting on the ground.

"Anli, you've worked hard these past few days."

"Beast General" Hector Wies walked to the other party's side, gazing into the distance as he spoke softly.

After three months of contact, the initial unfamiliarity and wariness between the two had long since disappeared. In some ways, the human girl in front of them was even worthy of respect.

"teacher."

Anli's chestnut hair swayed by her earlobes as she looked up and let out a hearty laugh.

Her petite figure had grown much taller, her skin had turned wheat-colored, and she exuded an aura that rivaled that of elite soldiers.

"Beast General" Hector Wies raised his eyelids slightly, but ultimately did not choose to correct him, perhaps because he had already gotten used to being called that by this human girl.

"The undead have all been dealt with. What's your next step?" Hector Whitworth, the "Beast General," suddenly asked.

"What do you want to do?"

An Li paused for a moment, her eyes briefly lost in thought before brightening slightly: "I kind of want to go home for a visit. It's been so long since I've seen Captain."

Speaking of it.

Anli raised her arm, clenched her fist and puffed out her arm, the rolled-up cuffs tightening again to reveal her firm muscles: "If we go back, everyone will be very surprised."

"Beast General" Hector Wies didn't say much, he just nodded, since the two were different races.

If it weren't for the disaster caused by the immortals, they would never have been able to live together!
"teacher……"

A familiar voice sounded.

"Beast General" Hector Wies instinctively wanted to respond, but then instantly realized what was happening and looked in surprise at Anri, who was smiling at him with her mouth closed.

"what have you done?"

"Beast General" Hector Wies felt somewhat incredulous. Even though Anri had kept her mouth shut and wasn't speaking, her voice rang out directly in his mind.

Magic?
However, during this period of contact, it was not discovered that Anri could use magic.

"Isn't that amazing, teacher?"

Anli stood up, dusted herself off, and said in a surprised and carefree manner, "I only suddenly discovered it today. It's kind of like magic."

"It allows for direct communication with close friends and family; if it could be applied to legion warfare, it would be very useful!"

She is no longer the naive girl she once was. The reason she calls "Beast General" Hector Wies her teacher is because she has learned a lot about military-related skills from him.

"Beast General" Hector Wies looked at Anri with an incomprehensible gaze. He felt that this human girl was very special.

"Captain, you should know something."

Anli made a circle with her thumb and forefinger, put it to her lips, and blew a sharp whistle.

call out--

A black figure came running quickly from a distance, and in a moment, it had arrived in front of Anli.

"Teacher, I'm leaving first."

Anri skillfully flipped over and sat on the back of the evil hound, gripping the bone chain with one hand and waving the other at "Beast General" Hector Whisper, shouting loudly:
"And everyone, thank you for your guidance during this time."

Not long after!

Anli, riding the evil spirit dog, had already disappeared from the sight of the group of demi-humans.

Watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance.

"Humanity...the future situation in the hills, how should we demi-humans coexist with humans?"

The thought crossed the mind of "Beast General" Hector Wies: the hilly area had now been occupied by the adventurer known as "Free Will".

The person who should be most troubled by this matter is not him, but "Seven-Colored Scales" (or something similar).

—A peculiar ancient castle.

Night falls.

As core members of Tang Zheng's team located in the hilly area, the four—Green Leaf Witch, White Mist Witch, Lizardman Kuruxue, and Anli—are sitting at a spacious dining table.

The table was laden with steaming, delicious food, but the atmosphere wasn't very lively.

at this time!

"Hey everyone."

A smiling voice suddenly rang out from one side of the hall.

The four Green Leaf Witches at the dining table quickly looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared in the hall and stood up.

"Captain!"

"Leader."

"grown ups."

"grown ups."

Three different forms of address came from the mouths of the four people. Because Anri was there, the three witches, including the Green Leaf Witch, used simpler forms of address.

"The aroma was amazing as soon as I arrived, it really whets my appetite." Tang Zheng smiled as he looked at the four of them, his gaze lingering on An Li in particular.

Anli not only grew much taller, but her delicate nature also disappeared, replaced by composure and calmness.

"It's been a while since I've seen you. Amway."

Tang Zheng walked to the dining table, looked at An Li in front of him, and spoke gently. At the same time, he reached out his palm and gently placed it on An Li's hair, gesturing to his chest:
"Has grown tall."

“Captain.” An Li felt the familiar warmth above her head, her eyes reddened, and she smiled brightly: “I’m not a child anymore.”

"Yes."

Tang Zheng chuckled and turned to look at the three witches, Cui Ye and Cui Ye: "If you keep standing there, I'll eat it myself."

The atmosphere was initially somewhat subdued.

The atmosphere immediately became lively after Tang Zheng joined.

He has been staying within the Kingdom of Inberia for some time now, and most of the items belonging to the [Abyss Body] have already been moved.

After the transfer is completely completed.

That was the time when the [Abyss Body] confronted that mysterious true dragon king.

"It won't be long."

Tang Zheng picked up a piece of roasted wild animal meat and put it in his mouth, thinking to himself.

Most of the knowledge he received was presumably copied data from inner circle members such as Benjeri of the Abyss.

These members of the [Abyssal Body] obviously wouldn't really hand over everything to him all at once, but even so, the gains were enormous.

This time we returned to the hilly area.

He was tasked with crafting weapons and armor from the Dark Dwarves and Dwarven artisans; he hadn't forgotten his promise to provide the human tribes of Despair Valley with a batch of weapons.

I originally thought a month would be enough.

The reason it took so long to complete is that there are still many low-level undead remaining in the hilly areas, which has affected the dwarves' mining and crafting.

"Captain, I think I can use magic now." Anli turned her little head and spoke to Tang Zheng, who was enjoying his meal, with a hint of uncertainty.

In the Kingdom of Inberia, there is no food supply, and Iveria, being an undead, also does not need food.

Tang Zheng could only eat the food he had stored, but now that a pile of proper food was laid out in front of him, his appetite naturally increased.

"magic?"

Tang Zheng was a little surprised; he didn't recall An Li having any magic-related professions.

An Li told Tang Zheng in detail about the information she had about her abilities, her face full of anticipation, as if she were showing off and waiting for praise.

"This ability... it can't be!"

Tang Zheng was startled, not expecting such a sudden surprise. He said, "An Li, demonstrate it once."

"Yes, information!"

Anli nodded, closed her eyes, and silently activated her skill.

hum-

"Skill 'Information' discovered, requires the intermediary profession [Commander], current conditions not met..."

"The [Genius] class has been upgraded to [Corporal], meeting the learning requirements. Would you like to spend 3 skill points to learn?"

Tang Zheng could sense a faint spiritual force trying to connect with him, but he didn't know if it was An Li's problem or if some condition was missing.

This prevented the "information" from fully connecting with Tang Zheng.
