Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 287 Playing around, fooling around

At the same time that Klein spotted the elf, the elf also spotted him.

As soon as he approached, the female elf raised her longbow without hesitation, the arrowhead flashing with silvery-white lightning.

Along with the sound of the ground shaking, a booming voice came from inside the cave:

"Who are you?

"Why did you come to Grosser's camp?"

Klein raised his hands and said frankly:

"I have come to find my companions, Ash and Edwina."

As they spoke, the figure that had shaken the ground emerged from the cave, and Klein was able to see his full appearance.

That was a giant who was at least four meters tall!

The giant had a greyish-blue complexion, with thick animal hides covering his chest, abdomen, and hips, while the rest of his body was bare, even his feet were unprotected. He leaned on a greatsword wider than a human door panel and looked down at Klein with his signature vertical single eye.

Beside Grosser, the "Iceberg General" Edwina, dressed in an elaborate shirt and dark trousers, spoke up:

"Grossell, this is my companion."

Grosser grinned widely and asked with delight:

"Are you here to deal with Julian as well?"

Yulisian? Klein was momentarily at a loss for words.

At that moment, he saw Edwina, standing in the giant's shadow, give him a wink, signaling him to give an affirmative answer.

"Is Julian the King of the North?" Klein replied thoughtfully in a low voice.

"Yes."

"Haha, then we're friends!"

Grosser laughed heartily:

"Let's head to camp! We're about to wage war against the evil dragon, Yurian!"

So warm and friendly... But whether in church scriptures or in the myths of Silver City, giants are portrayed as extremely destructive and savage creatures... Well, anything is possible in books, it just depends on whether the author can make it coherent... Klein nodded slightly and followed Grosser into the wide cave.

Upon entering the cave, Klein immediately saw four figures.

One of them was Ember, and the other three were also dressed in very distinctive ways.

A middle-aged man, dressed in an extremely simple white robe, stood with his back to the flames and facing the stone wall, his eyes closed, praying intently. He had wrinkles but was not old. He had short brown hair, and his shoulders, arms, calves, and feet were exposed and covered with all kinds of old scars.

Beside him was a young man sleeping with his head resting on a stone. He was dressed in heavy, sturdy black full-body armor, with a black straight sword gleaming coldly in his hand. His facial features were quite distinct, showing clear Rune characteristics.

Sitting opposite these two was a strangely dressed man in his thirties who made people feel uncomfortable. He wore a pointed, stiff black hat, and the buttons on his jacket were uneven and messy, neither asymmetrical nor harmonious.

In addition, the pointed toes of his leather boots were upturned, making him look like a circus clown.

This man had a fairly good-looking face, with flaxen hair, dark brown eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. Even when sitting, he gave off an air of arrogance.

Upon seeing the three men, Klein immediately matched their appearances with the characters in the book.

Meanwhile, Edwina introduced from the side—

The ascetic Snowman, the Rune soldier Longzel, the Solomon Empire nobleman Mobert Zoroaster, the elf Shatas, and the giant Grosser—that's the whole team.

"Let's continue our previous topic."

Grosser looked at the embers and said solemnly:

"You just said you wanted me to take you to the Giants' Court?"

"right."

Yu Jin nodded slightly and said frankly:

"For certain purposes, I need to go to the Giants' Court to find something."

"..."

Grosser remained silent for a long time, though he was trapped in the world of the book.

However, through the accounts of Snowman, Mobert, Ronzel, and others who later entered this world, he gained a general understanding of what had happened over the past few thousand years.

The giant king Ormir was killed by the ancient sun god, and the giant race was nearly wiped out. He may be the only surviving giant...

"It's not impossible."

Grosser raised his hand and rubbed his cheek, muttering:

"But I don't know where the Giants' Royal Court is located..."

After a pause, Grosser added:

"I mean, if I leave from here, I probably won't go straight back to the Giants' Court, right?"

Before entering the world of the book, he had always lived in the Giants' Court. Within the Giants' Court, he would have been an excellent guide. However, finding the Giants' Court elsewhere in the world was no easy task for him.

Ember spoke at a moderate pace:

"I know how to get there; you just need to lead the way at the Giants' Court."

Grosser chuckled:

"That's fine then. I was just thinking of going back to the Giants' Court to take a look."

When he first heard from his companions about the death of King Ormir and the near extinction of the giant race, he was indeed somewhat saddened. But thousands of years have passed, and he has long since accepted reality.

Even though the giant race has become extinct, the Giants' Royal Court was once their home.

Even if the place has been destroyed, he wants to witness the destruction of the Giants' Court with his own eyes, so that he can give up hope.

What if there are still surviving giants inside?

Regardless, he wanted to go back and take one last look.

As for what the embers were looking for, Grosser didn't care.

Since the giant race has already been wiped out, just give him whatever he wants.

Ember suddenly asked:

"Are you Sequence 5 now?"

Grosser paused for a moment, then hesitated before saying:

"According to your classification, it should be, right? I'm not entirely sure, since we didn't have this kind of concept in our time."

Ember shook his head and said:

"Sequence 5 is not enough, at least sequence 4 is needed."

The land abandoned by God is dangerous, and he doesn't want to find another guide.

Therefore, Grosser must have at least the ability to protect himself.

"Huh?" Grosser was a little confused.

Klein's eye twitched. Was Ember trying to figure out where to "borrow" a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Warrior" pathway Sequence 4?

The Silver City where Little Sun resides might have it, but Little Sun doesn't have enough say, and the Silver City certainly wouldn't give up a Sequence 4 extraordinary trait to a stranger.

And the remaining channels...

Edwina thought for a moment, then said in a calm tone:

"The Sunia Naval Fleet of the Fussac Empire is stationed on Sunia Island."

"The commander of the Sunia Fleet is Yegor Einhorn, an admiral of the Fussak Empire and the captain of the fleet's flagship, the Nipos."

Klein seemed to realize something:

"Is he a demigod of the 'Warrior' pathway?"

He knew a naval admiral from the Kingdom of Rune, Emilius Litt.

The other party is also the Supreme Commander of the Central Sudanese Navy, a true demigod.

Correspondingly, it is highly unlikely that the admiral of the Fussac Empire is not a demigod.

Edwina gently shook her head and explained:

"No, Yegor Einhorn is a member of the royal family of the Fusak Empire, and all members of this family are Hunters."

Then why did you bring him up?

Klein was somewhat puzzled.

Edwina explained calmly:

"Even for the vast Fusak Empire, Sunia Island is a large diocese. In order to spread the faith and to support the Sunia Navy Fleet, the Church of War will have a demigod-level archbishop stationed on Sunia Island."

Yu Jin seemed to be deep in thought.

The God of War is a true god of the giant pathway, and the believers of the Church of the God of War are naturally mostly extraordinary beings of the giant pathway, including its archbishop.

If Ember wants to "borrow" a Sequence 4 Extraordinary trait from the "Giants" pathway, the Church of War is the best option.

The reason Edwina mentioned Yegor Einhorn is quite simple.

The Grand Master Church of the Church of War supports the Sunia Fleet, and vice versa.

If the Archbishop of the Church of War is attacked, Yegor Einhorn will certainly provide immediate support.

In other words, if you want to take action against any one of them, you must be prepared to face two demigods at the same time.

A flash of realization crossed Klein's eyes:

"This means that if Ember wants to obtain the extraordinary trait of Sequence 4 of the 'Giant' pathway, he will be forced to acquire an additional extraordinary trait of the 'Hunter' pathway."

Klein clicked his tongue.

I don't mean anything by it, I just think the Fussac Empire is in a bad situation, losing two demigods for no reason.

But this has nothing to do with Klein, since he's not from Fossack. 7

Grosser also realized they wanted to help him find a Sequence 4 extraordinary trait, and hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Is this necessary? I feel like I can't afford the corresponding price..."

Ember didn't care and said calmly:

"Consider it payment for guiding us."

"what……"

Grosser scratched his head, but wasn't helping him defeat "King of the North" Julian and bringing him back to the Giants' Court already a reward?

Grosser hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"How about I tell you about my past experiences?"

Seeing that Ember did not object, Grosser spoke up:

"Before entering this book, I lived in the 'Giant's Court' and was one of the guardians of the 'Decaying Forest,' a place only our king could enter. It is said that His father and mother, the origin of our giant race, are buried there..."

Klein seemed to understand and was about to ask for more details. But before he could speak, Edwina preemptively asked:

"Grossell, what did this book look like when you first received it?"

Grosser recalled for a moment and said:

"It has nothing in it, like a blank book waiting to be filled in."

I had previously guessed that Grosser might be a character from the book... Klein hesitated for a few seconds, while Grosser continued to explain more details about the Court of Giants.

Ormir, the Giant King, was married to Omibella, the goddess of harvest, and his children were Badhre, the god of dawn, and Bradel, the god of honor…

For example, the Royal Hunters are the most elite troops of the Giants' Royal Court.

The leader of the "Royal Court Hunters" is "The Light Slayer" Milgongen, who received a blessing from the Giant King, making him stronger than the other giant demigods, second only to a few subordinate gods...

"The Giants' Royal Court was indeed very powerful!"

Klein couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He had heard Little Sun recount some information about the Giants' Court. He was familiar with the information from the gods, but Little Sun had no way of knowing more details about the Giants' Court.

After all, Little Sun only knew a little about the Giants' Court from the records in Silver City, and his knowledge was certainly not as extensive as that of Groseldo, who had once lived in the Giants' Court.

For example, the existence of the "Royal Court Hunters" was never mentioned by Little Sun.

According to Grosser's description, there are more than thirty demigods who belong to the Royal Court's Hunters alone!

This number is far greater than the current Church of the Seven.

For example, at least half of the thirteen archbishops and nine senior deacons at the top of the Church of the Night are below Sequence 4. For instance, former archbishop Ince Zangwill defected because he failed to advance to Sequence 4.

Other churches should be in much the same boat.

In other words, the Church of the Seven Gods has only about ten demigods, while the number of demigods in the Giants' Court is equivalent to the combined number of the three Churches of the Seven Gods!

If we apply this to the angelic level, it's also three times the amount.

Because, on the surface, the Church of the Seven Gods has only one angel, which is the Triple Crowned One of the major churches.

It can only be said that they truly deserve to be one of the strongest extraordinary races in the past.

Grosser stopped, looking a little embarrassed.

"That's all I know..."

He didn't think this intelligence was enough to pay for a Sequence 4 extraordinary trait—

He never even doubted whether Ember was setting him up, such as whether Ember actually had the ability to kill a demigod, especially when attacked by two demigods.

During their conversation, Shatas, Mobert, and the others did not disturb them.

Seeing that their conversation had come to an end, Klein turned to Mobert Zoroaster and said:

Do you know Amon, the "blasphemer"?

"The 'blasphemers' refers to the entire Amon family. They are our mortal enemies in Zoroaster. It is said that they have an extremely powerful and terrifying ancestor, whom even Ouroles and Medici greatly value and are somewhat afraid of, but no one knows His specific name," Mobert explained in detail.

Ulorus, Medici? Hmm, back then, both the "True Creator" and the "Redemption Rose" were supporting the Solomon Empire... This coincides with my guess... Ulorus and Medici supported the True Creator, firmly believing that the True Creator was the reincarnation of the ancient sun god, while Adam and Amon, as the offspring of the ancient sun god, were unwilling to acknowledge the True Creator's identity, probably because they felt that the "fallen" True Creator was too shameful, so they wanted to resurrect the once glorious and righteous ancient sun god?

"What two filial sons!"

Klein made a sarcastic remark.

He has a father but refuses to acknowledge him, insisting that his father is dead and that he wants to dig him up from the grave and resurrect him.

These two brothers probably have some serious illness...

However, to be fair, judging from their condition, they are indeed quite ill.

Compared to the mad brothers Adam and Amon, Medici and the true Creator seem kind and approachable!
