Chapter 250 The Dead Born and the Dead Prince

Ruins before the level.

This may have been a small town before.

But now it is in a completely deserted state.

In order to facilitate and ensure the transportation of Stonewell City, Greg sent some soldiers to be stationed here. He not only set up a military camp here, but also turned it into a material transfer station.

At this moment, there are at least seven or eight black carriages being loaded parked in the ruins.

Fifteen Faded Ones came and lay dormant nearby. They were the camp-robbery team led by Mengbai and Roger. They observed the location of the carriage equipped by the Greg soldiers and saw that the carriage was shaped like a huge coffin and was very large in size.

Ordinary horses definitely could not pull such a carriage, and Greg did not use ordinary oxen and horses. One of the "carriages" was already loaded, and it was pulled by two huge, oppressive monsters.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Goblin Slave!]

This monster is huge in size, with hair as messy as dead grass, and its flesh is shriveled and hideous. The most special thing about it is that its entire chest and abdomen seem to be hollowed out, as if something has been deeply gouged out of its body.

A huge iron chain pierced through the body.

Connect them to a giant black coffin-like carriage.

As the two goblins took heavy steps and turned the chains to pull the carriage forward slowly, they left the camp accompanied by a guard team of more than 20 Grek soldiers.

Meng Bai couldn't help but feel curious: "How could these mountain goblins be used by Greg?"

She just asked casually.

I didn't expect to get an answer.

Roger offered an explanation: "Mountain goblins are the smallest and weakest of the ancient giants. It's said they chose to side with the giants during the war between the gold and the gold. The discarded parts of their chests and abdomens once represented the giants' ancient beliefs."

The mountain monster looks to be over two meters tall, and its strength is at least at the second level. Its appearance is so oppressive, but it is actually just the weakest among the giants?
The adventurers were all very surprised.

I just feel that the giants in this world are not simple!

Mengbai sensed a considerable amount of information from Roger's words.

Are there any other survivors of the Giant?
Since the mountain demon has surrendered to the Golden Law, why has he become a forced laborer?

What do the cut-out bellies of these monsters represent, and what are the beliefs of the giants?
Mengbai only felt that the way the story of the borderland was told was very special. The role played by each adventurer was not a destined child of destiny. This world had no named protagonists, nor a straightforward plot.

Various plots and information are hidden in various scenes, objects and inconspicuous dialogues.

If adventurers want to truly understand and feel the history of this land, all they have to do is collect various fragmented information, and then restore the history and truth by unraveling it.

and this.

It is significantly different from other secret realms.

"There are too many Greg soldiers now, and there are a few goblins in the camp. It's not the right time to take action!" After comparing the strength of the enemy and us on the scene, Mengbai decisively chose to temporarily avoid the attack and take a quick rest in Ci Fu for two hours.

When I came to the ruins in front of the pass again.

Currently, the mountain goblins and some soldiers are escorting the goods.

At this moment, there are still four black carriages and two or three hundred soldiers in the camp. Because it is quite late, most of the soldiers are in a state of rest. It is a good opportunity to take action!
"Do it!"

Mengbai gave the order decisively.

A dozen Faders launched the attack as planned.

Although the first wave of attacks caught the Grek soldiers off guard, a Grek soldier holding a trombone soon blew the alarm, and the other soldiers immediately became alert and organized a counterattack against the Faded Ones.

Mengbai had just summoned three wild wolves and had no time to launch an attack when a Faded One in front of him was pierced through the body by a spear. He was killed by a Grek knight wearing armor, holding a spear and a shield.

"Despicable Faders! How dare you attack the Golden King's troops!"

This Knight Greg should be the strongest knight captain in the military camp. It is estimated that he has at least the strength of the second level and three stars. Ordinary faded ones cannot last more than three rounds against him.

at the same time.

A dozen or twenty Grek soldiers surrounded them from all directions.

Mengbai's expression was solemn. Just one elite knight was difficult to deal with. If there were more than ten or twenty Grek soldiers, there would be no chance of winning even with the help of the wild wolves summoned by the summoning bell.

Knight Greg approached quickly and stabbed Mengbai with a gun, but at this moment a powerful magical wave appeared above his head, and a magic energy ball with a brilliant blue light appeared in front of him.

"This is...Kalia's magic!"

Knight Greg recognized this classic magic of the Kalia royal family from the "Lake Lienia" region. He saw the magic floating in the air and after a short period of accumulation, it suddenly approached him quickly and released a stream of light attack that fell like a rainstorm.

Blocked the attack with a shield.

Although Knight Greg withstood most of the attacks.

But ordinary soldiers were not so lucky, and several of them were seriously injured on the spot.

"It's Roger!" The adventurers saw a figure walking up. This person held a magician's staff in his left hand and a slender rapier in his right hand. He was the special faded person who joined the team.

As he walked up, the staff continued to emit a light full of mystery, and another spell was completed in just a few seconds. Its magic power was transformed into dozens of energy swords floating around him.

Kalia Magic——Shining Sword Circle!
Roger summoned dozens of energy swords in one breath, which were distributed in a circle around his body and automatically followed him when they got within a certain range of the Greg soldiers.

Whoosh whoosh!

A volley of magic swords!

The Grek Knights still used their shields to block most of the attacks, and several injured Grek soldiers were pierced by the shining swords and fell to the ground and died on the spot.

"Damn faders!"

Knight Greg became furious when he saw his men suffering continuous casualties. He immediately gave up Mengbai and attacked Roger, but at this moment Roger completed a new spell.

Kalia Magic——Kalia Great Sword!

A blue magical light emerged from the staff in Roger's left hand. The light filled the entire staff and burst out, turning into a three-meter-long giant energy sword shining with light.

next moment.

With waving arms.

An energy sword more than three meters long chopped down on his head.

The sword was so powerful that even the mighty Captain Greg couldn't withstand it. He was chopped off and sent flying more than ten meters away, suffering considerable damage.

of course.

Although the magic is powerful.

But it cannot chop continuously.

Roger simply swung his sword, and the giant sword shrouded on the staff instantly dissipated into the air.

"This move is so cool!"

When the adventurers in Miracle City saw the "Kalia Greatsword", their eyes lit up, because they had never heard that magic could be cast and performed in this way before.

At this moment.

Near the Mengbai Secret Crystal.

There are several top figures.

For example, Vesaros and Nancylia, who had just finished a round of adventure, as well as many undead and elves.

Elsa the elf asked in surprise: "What kind of magic is this?"

Nancy Liya: "Great skill! I must learn it. It can greatly increase the mage's melee ability, allowing the warlock to deliver powerful slashes like a warrior!"

Vesaros was also quite surprised: "I didn't expect the spells to be so powerful. The magic of the borderland is really eye-opening, and it has given me a lot of inspiration!"

"..."

The adventurers didn't know the origin and name of the spell yet, but the way this skill was performed, using magic power to transform into a giant sword and launch a ferocious slash, was enough to give them a lot of insights and creativity.

Roger repelled the Knight Greg and walked to Mengbai. He stabbed with his right sword like lightning, repelling a soldier in two or three strokes. The last sword was as tricky and strange as a poisonous snake, and instantly pierced the soldier's throat.

Kill another one.

Mengbai is also fighting against many enemies at this moment, but as long as there is no Knight Greg, ordinary soldiers cannot pose much threat to her. When she sees Roger's strength, she is overjoyed.

"Good skill!"

I was right!
This is a rare fader!
His cultivation level is at least at level two, five stars. He is proficient in many powerful and practical magics, and has excellent skills and swordsmanship. I'm afraid he can handle it even if he meets a level three master!

With the help of this master.

This battle is most likely to be won!
Roger: "There are too many Grek soldiers. Don't get entangled with them. End the battle as soon as possible."

Mengbai nodded: "I understand!"

The dozen or so Grek soldiers were not as stupid as those in the computer game. After seeing the strength of the two faded ones, they surrounded them without attacking, waiting for the Knight to adjust his condition and return to the battle.

We must deal with the miscellaneous soldiers first!
Seeing this, Mengbai raised the sword in his hand, and purple energy emerged from the blade. Then he inserted the weapon into the ground, and the purple energy immediately formed a wave that spread in all directions.

"Combat Technique—Gravity!"

The Grek soldiers were enveloped by the gravity wave. They all felt their bodies were heavy and their internal organs were impacted. Not only that, they were pulled to Mengbai and Roger by a force of attraction.

"Is this... similar to Star-Breaking General Latarn's gravity magic?"

Roger showed a hint of surprise at the skills displayed by Mengbai, but at the same time he was certain in his heart that he had not misjudged the person.

This is a fader with potential!
Roger raised his left hand staff again and condensed the spell - Kalia Greatsword!

The magic giant sword composed of brilliant blue light released this time was even bigger than the last time. It swept through the Grek soldiers who were pulled in with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Its terrifying power
The terrifying power released by the magic giant sword.

It instantly tore through the armor and flesh of the soldiers.

These soldiers were killed in an instant, and even if they didn't die, they completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Mengbai then teamed up with Roger to attack Knight Grek at the same time. No matter how well-trained and powerful Knight Grek was, he could not withstand the rotation of attacks.

boom!
Defeat the shield!

Sparks flew everywhere.

Mengbai seized a flaw and slashed at Knight Greg several times in a row, instantly tearing his armor and causing blood to splatter. Knight Greg was severely injured and wanted to retreat, but was suppressed again by Roger's shining sword circle.

good chance!
Meng Bai stepped forward again and plunged her sword into the opponent's heart.

Half of the sword blade pierced out from behind him.

The powerful Knight Greg roared unwillingly, but as the sword was pulled out from his heart, his strength quickly dissipated. He finally fell to the ground powerlessly, releasing a large amount of runes from his body.

"Not bad!"

This battle had no fancy magic and no gorgeous scenes, but Mengbai was very satisfied. She had already accumulated a lot of runes, and with the runes she got in this battle, she could probably upgrade her strength again.

When the leader of the ruined camp was killed.

The morale of the other faded ones was also boosted, and they immediately launched a more fierce attack.

Although the Grek soldiers were numerous, they were also thrown into chaos and suffered many casualties.

Mengbai took the opportunity to rob several carriages with the Faded One. Mengbai obtained several pieces of equipment from the treasure chest of a carriage, and also got a war ash named "Storm Foot".

Judging from the skill description.

This is a relatively basic storm combat technique that was circulated in the past in Stonewell City. It can form a storm around by stomping on the ground with great force. Although the damage capacity is relatively weak, it may play a significant role if used flexibly in actual combat.

At this time, two more Greg knights came here with dozens of soldiers.

Mengbai did not want to fight any longer and chose to retreat immediately. Everyone quickly fled the ruined military camp and hid in the nearby woods. The gains from this battle were still very good.

Of the fifteen Faders, eight were killed.

However, they killed nearly forty Gregorian soldiers.

Every surviving Faded One has more or less snatched some supplies, including the standard equipment of the King's Army, such as the King's Army Greatsword, the King's Army Armor, etc., as well as some material items and Rune, etc.

The operation was very successful!

And this time we were able to successfully raid the camp.

Roger played a very important role.

His skills in magic and swordsmanship are impressive.

This is a rare and powerful fader who may be of help in the future.

"Rodel, if it weren't for your help this time, I probably wouldn't have made it back alive. By the way, your magic is very powerful and unique. I wonder where you learned it from?"

Roger replied, "I am from the Kingdom of Kalia, located in Lienia of the Lake. Most of the magic I am proficient in comes from the Kalia royal family. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"What? Really fake!"

Mengbai just asked casually.

Unexpectedly, it triggered an unexpected gain.

However, there is no free lunch in this world, and this person must have some ulterior motive for being so straightforward.

She then asked, "What are the conditions?"

Roger said, "Of course, you need to pay me a portion of the runes used to create the magic memory, and you also need to fulfill the agreement between us and enter Stonewell City."

Meng Bai couldn't help but speculate: "Why do you want to enter Stonewell City so much? What you are looking for... is it also the Great Rune in Greg's hand?"

Greg is one of the Shard Lords who wields the Ring Shard.

The fragments formed after the Elden Ring was broken are the Great Rune.

If an adventurer wants to become the King of Elden, he needs to collect a certain number of Great Runes. If Roger also wants Great Runes, the two will only become rivals and it will be difficult for them to cooperate sincerely.

But surprisingly, Roger didn't seem to be interested in the Great Rune in Greg's hand.

He said, "When Greg left the royal city of Rodel, he not only took away a fragment of the Ring, but also an important item. It is the latter that I am looking for."

Meng Bai was skeptical: "What on earth is that?"

Roger seemed to be hesitant, but after thinking for a few seconds, he decided to tell the truth.

He asked, "Do you know the Deadborn?"

Meng Bai was puzzled: "What is a dead birth?"

Roger said in a grave tone, "This is a strange disaster that originated from the 'Night of the Black Knife Conspiracy' and was caused by the 'Prince of Death' Godwin. The Deadborn are strange beings that were born from death but cannot return to death."

Mengbai fell into thought.

According to Roger's description, the Deadborn are a kind of strange creature born from death. Although they sound like undead, they are definitely not ordinary undead.

Because it is at the border of the rule of law.

There has never been a real concept of death.

All living things will die, but all living things will not die.

It is said that in the ancient melting pot era, all living beings in the world, regardless of race, were born from the original melting pot and returned to the melting pot.

After the Golden Tree Era officially begins, all living things will have a ceremony to return to the tree. In this magical land, life only changes in form and state, following a certain law of conservation, and there will be no true and complete death.

This is the case.

Until the night of the Black Knife.

The former "Golden" Godwin was the most perfect child of the "Eternal Queen" Marika. On this night, he was assassinated by a group of black knife assassins using a black knife containing mysterious power.

After Godwin's death.

He did not enter the reincarnation system of the Golden Tree.

Therefore, he is the first dead person in the true sense, so he is called "Prince of Death" Godwin, and the breaking of the Golden Rule and the Circle of Law also started on the night of the Black Knife Conspiracy.

"What a strange rule."

"Godwin sounds like the eldest son of 'Eternal Queen' Marica and 'Primordial Elden King' Godfrey. He is also the most perfect and powerful of all their children, and was originally the most ideal heir to the Golden Tree Dynasty."

"It was his death that led to the collapse of the Golden Dynasty, which was once growing stronger."

"So who killed him?"

"This is definitely a big conspiracy!"

"Before this, the creatures of the borderland would never completely disappear. Why did Godwin not only become the most completely dead, but also trigger the phenomenon of the dead born?"

"..."

Mengbai and the adventurers in Miracle City all made a series of guesses based on the existing information.

However, since the information available at this stage is very limited, this information may not be accurate, so the guesses may not be correct, but they really like the feeling of unraveling the truth from fragmented information.

It is true that Roger is a faded one.

However, he has no interest in becoming the King of Elden.

His sole goal is to investigate the truth surrounding the Night of the Black Knife Conspiracy and the Deathborn Curse that arose from that Night of the Black Knife.

On the surface, the Deadborn are indeed the undead as understood by adventurers. Since the appearance of Prince Godwin of Death, strange creatures that have died and are unable to return to the legal system have begun to appear in the border areas.

Some people believe that the phenomenon of the dead is a punishment from the Supreme Will.

Some people also believe that this is a curse from the dead Prince Godwin.

They are like a plague that cannot be completely eradicated. Not only do they torment all living beings in the border areas, but they also have the tendency to spread rapidly and cover the entire world.

Once sentient beings are unable to die properly.

The world will lose its ability to metabolize.

Eventually it will become lifeless like a pool of stagnant water.

Roger's current goal is to find out the reason for the birth of the Deathborn. It is known that the appearance of the Deathborn must be related to the "Prince of Death" Godwin, so to investigate the Night of the Black Knife and the Deathborn, Godwin must be found.

"The dead Prince Godwin has been buried deep within the roots. I can't enter that place with my abilities..."

"But according to my investigation, when Greg fled the royal city of Rodel, he not only took away a fragment of the Ring, but also took away part of the dead prince's body..."

After listening to Roger's explanation.

Mengbai roughly understood the whole story.

Although many of the concepts and clues here are quite obscure, judging from Roger's behavior, this person does not seem to be lying.

He probably really has no interest in becoming the Elden Circle. He just wants to find the remains or clues of the dead prince, to find a way to solve the "Dead Born" phenomenon from the root, and to understand the truth of the "Night of the Black Knife Conspiracy"!

interesting!
Mengbai developed a very strong interest.

Although the Elden Ring did not clearly pop up the task prompt, she had already realized that both solving the problem of the Dead Born and investigating the Black Knife Conspiracy Night were two very important side tasks!
It allows people to better understand the operating principles of the laws of the border area and the Elden Law Ring world.

The latter is the beginning of all stories. Only by finding out the truth about the night of the Black Knife Conspiracy can we know the main story that happened at the border.

"I promise to enter Stonewell City and find the remains of the dead prince for you!"

Mengbai had a lot of thoughts in his mind at this moment. The adventurer's target was the Great Rune in Greg's hand, which could repair the magic ring. He was also interested in the Deadborn and Black Blade Night.

Maybe I can continue to use him.

For example, using full assistance in investigating the dead prince as a bargaining chip and exchange condition.

Let Roger work hard in the next adventure in Stonewell City and reduce the difficulty of capturing the Great Rune for himself.

The next thing to do is to capture the Storm level.

Only in this way can we open the passage into Stonewell.

This battle in Miracle City was not easy, because the Storm Pass was not only easy to defend due to its mountain construction, but also had one or two hundred Grek soldiers stationed there, including several powerful Grek knights.
Of course.

This is not a problem for adventurers.

With Roger's help, Mengbai only needs to gather a group of people to take it down quickly.

When Mengbai launched an attack on the Storm Level, other adventurers in Miracle City also made discoveries and gains one after another. For example, Higanbana accidentally broke into a place called Gaileyd.
