Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

"Meet a new friend, Charon, a very special friend, who was originally the Orb of Death that I mentioned, who possesses wisdom and understands magic."

"Charon, this is the Wise King of the Forest, now called Little White, and he is my good friend."

After listening to Karlko's introduction, the two of them immediately exchanged greetings.

As a being born in a public cemetery, Charon naturally knows the name of the Wise King of the Forest. And although Xiaobai looks like a big hamster and is very cute, people here can see how powerful Xiaobai is at first glance due to his strength, momentum and other aspects.

Of course, Karl himself is no exception.

At this time, Spa and the dwarf craftsman, who heard the noise not far away, were rushing over here in a hurry, holding a carving knife in their hands, and it was obvious that they were still studying runes.

Looking at Spa and others running over, Kalco also smiled and stopped Charon and Xiaobai from talking.

Perhaps it was because their fate had brought the two of them together that they had a great conversation.

“Okay, Xiaobai, go back and continue practicing your fighting skills with Remedios and the others. By the way, don’t forget the magic and spiritual energy training I gave you!”

Karko gently pointed at Xiaobai and warned him not to be lazy.

She has not forgotten that her magic was degraded due to the weak magic power when she fought with Xiaobai.

The power of the third level has been degraded to the second level. I must train harder.

So during this period of time, she has let Remedios be in charge of Xiaobai's training, in addition to combat skills, the magic energy.

I want to try to see if I can restore Xiaobai's magic power to normal levels through training.

Logically speaking, a creature like Xiaobai who possesses magical talent should not have too low magic power, at least not to the point of degraded magic.

After hearing Karko's warning, Xiaobai immediately lowered his head and walked to the side. Remedios and Kulev couldn't help but smile.

Compared to some newbies who just like to play, they are fully committed to how to become stronger.

He immediately followed Xiaobai and urged her to practice with them.

As Remedios and Kulev followed Xiaobai away, Spa also came to Karko with the dwarf craftsman.

"Your Highness, is this the Orb of Death?"

"He's called Charon now."

Karl specifically mentioned this.

Spa quickly bowed and apologized.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, Mr. Charon. I'm Spa, the person in charge of making your body this time."

“Hahaha, it doesn’t matter. After all, I just got a name, but the body production is…”

Charon's words were now full of surprise and anticipation.

Karko smiled and said, "It's almost what you think. It's just a temporary body for transportation."

"The specific situation is roughly as follows..."

Karko told Charon in detail why he brought him back this time.

Spa and the dwarf craftsmen on the side provided additional information from time to time.

After a while, Charon roughly understood the situation and even knew the names of several people in front of him.

"So this is ah……"

“I never thought that one day, the very qualities that I was praised for would actually become an obstacle for me in life.”

Charon said with emotion.

One of the reasons why the Great Wizard of the Dead of Zhilanon wanted to pull him into Zhilanon was because of his ability to absorb negative energy and store it.

Although Charon didn't say it, he couldn't help feeling a little proud since he knew the appeal of this trait to these great wizards of the dead and the numerous undead in the public cemetery created by his trait.

This was also the reason why he dared to say in front of Karko that he wanted to spread death to the world and practice the glory of my God.

But now it seems that this confidence has become a constraint for him.

"That's why I brought you here. After all, no matter how much Spa and the others say, it's all speculation based on your characteristics. If we want to solve these problems, we still need your personal cooperation."

"Of course there are risks involved, so it's up to you whether you're willing to cooperate."

"If you think it's dangerous, then you can refuse. Then you can probably wait."

Karl said, half thinking and half looking forward: "After I figure out the secret of magic and solve the problem of your inability to cast spells, perhaps you can directly use the second plan."

"Thank you very much, Lord God's Messenger!"

Charon said to Karko with gratitude.

He could tell that Karl had no other intention in his words, and he would not make things difficult for himself if he refused.

But why would he refuse?

There is no such thing as something for nothing in the world.

"Lord God's Envoy, I agree to this matter. I will cooperate with Spa and the other craftsmen in their research."

"But... I am not sure why I cannot cast a spell, but I have an idea that you can listen to, Lord Divine Envoy."

Charon's words immediately aroused Karko's interest.

"Tell me."

"Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I don't have a soul, or that my soul is relatively weak?"

Charon said uncertainly.

Chapter 89: Just go and have a look out of curiosity (4,300, card, compensation today, return tomorrow)

"Soul...what made you think of this?"

Kalko turned to look at Charon, not expecting him to bring this up so suddenly.

"Because you said, Lord God's Messenger, that wisdom is the beginning of life. I am already a life now, not to mention that I now have my own name."

"But I also know that although you, Lord God's Messenger, say that I am a life, I am still some distance away from being a real life."

"For example, you said that my God does not like the undead, and that although they are considered a race in my eyes, the value they can create is too small compared to other races."

"These past few days, I have been thinking about the meaning of this sentence, and then..."

"I just figured it out!"

Charon's stone body suddenly lit up, like a person raising his arms confidently on a podium, enjoying everyone's gaze.

But compared to Charon's confidence, Karko's face looked a little conflicted at this moment.

What have you figured out?

Suppressing his doubts, Karko looked at Charon with a confident and expectant smile.

"Tell me."

At this time, not to mention Spa and the dwarf craftsmen on the side, even Kuirat, who was originally studying magic in the tent, came over again after hearing the noise.

She could see at a glance that Karko's expression was not tense. Although she wanted to make up for Karko in case he explained it wrongly, she also wanted to watch the show.

After all, she was also quite curious about what Charon had come up with after Karko's nonsense.

"Since my God said that the immortals are also a race to him, and you, the Lord of God, said that wisdom is the beginning of life for the immortals, then since there is a beginning, it also means that life itself has different stages."

"This reminds me of one thing. Plants and animals obviously don't have intelligence, but why are they also living things?"

"I didn't understand it at first, but then I thought of the Skeleton Mage."

"When they are first born, they are actually no different from ordinary skeletons. Even in terms of intelligence, they are no different from plants. But as long as they are in an area with negative energy and fight, they will gradually become stronger and more intelligent."

"At this moment, I was wondering if the Skeleton Mage's situation meant that he had begun to slowly run forward from the beginning of his life."

"Then I thought about it again. It seems that all life has the desire to keep moving forward. Even the undead have the desire to work towards a certain direction and strive to survive."

"Animals forage for food in order to survive, plants take root in the soil in order to survive, and the undead...they should constantly attack the living in order to survive."

"Because if there were no dead from outside, then there would be no negative energy, and without negative energy, these undead would not continue to live and make themselves more intelligent."

"So in that case, what is it that distinguishes the living from the dead?"

"It's the soul!"

Charon said with great enthusiasm: "I have heard those who come to the cemetery say that the souls of the dead have returned to the arms of my god."

"Perhaps because of this, the undead beings born from the corpses of the dead have a level of intelligence that is almost the same as that of plants in the early days of their birth."

"Perhaps it's because their souls are just born, just like some elemental creatures, or even more like human babies, without much wisdom."

"But as long as the soul exists, he will continue to move forward in order to continue living."

"It's just that on this journey forward, some of them may still be standing still at the starting point of their lives, while others may be striding forward."

"It's just like the Skeleton Centipede and the Skeleton Mage. The former may need decades to pile up the bones of countless undead on itself, and only after it becomes very powerful may it develop some wisdom."

"And the latter may only need less than half the time of the Skeleton Centipede to become as intelligent as humans, and even be able to cast magic."

"Their wisdom is growing at a rate that is only possible for humans."

"So what's the difference between humans, skeleton mages, and skeleton centipedes?"

"Souls, I think they are still souls, and the wisdom they awaken is the standard to test their souls."

"The souls of those races that are born from the gestation of life are unexpectedly powerful. However, the souls of the undead and elemental creatures that are born in a magical environment are very weak at the beginning. Only under special circumstances can they reach the level of humans."

"And presumably, humans and other races, the undead, and special beings with strong souls among elemental creatures have naturally become compatible with the world because they have been living with various magical powers for a long time. They are natural magic chanters."

"And I..."

“Although I have awakened wisdom through the grace of my god and have accidentally glimpsed my god’s situation, I am ultimately just a stone.”

"I am not as good as the undead born from corpses, nor am I as good as the elemental creatures born in places with rich magic."

"Even among them, only a few can cast magic, so I suspect that the reason why I can't cast magic now may be because my soul is still weak."

"Of course, this is just my speculation. There could be other reasons, or even that I don't actually have a soul."

“In the public cemetery where I was before, although the group of soldiers often cleared the undead around, I actually knew it very well.”

"Even if they don't clean it up, it's actually very difficult to produce powerful undead."

"Because countless undead are buried under the land of that cemetery, but none of them said how powerful an undead they would become."

"Instead, the undead on the ground created a skeleton centipede during the battle with those human soldiers. As for the skeleton mage, I have only seen the great mage of the dead in Zhilanon."

The fluorescence on Charon's body continued to shine, and there was some boredom in his words.

Although he speculated like this, he was still a little unwilling in his heart. He possessed such wisdom, but in the end, his soul was not as good as that of a newly born skeleton wizard?

If the messenger of God had not told him that wisdom is the beginning of life and indeed recognized that he is a kind of life, he might have complained long ago.

Maybe I have reached a bottleneck?

Charon couldn't help but think.

He knew that all living things had different bottlenecks, and perhaps he had reached his own bottleneck. If his soul was strengthened, perhaps he could solve this problem?

After all, according to his logic, his soul is still relatively weak, so strengthening his soul is like the skeleton centipede. Although it is very weak and even has no brain at the beginning, won’t this problem be compensated after it gradually becomes stronger?

Besides, it seems that he has not done any training in the past hundred years. He has only relied on the wisdom bestowed by the gods to get to where he is now. It seems that the weak soul at the moment is not unacceptable.

As time went by, Charon finally conquered himself.

"So, Lord God's Messenger, maybe when I find a way to elevate my soul, I may be able to solve the problem of my inability to cast magic!"

Charon said excitedly, his words full of anticipation.

The others present were also thinking about something at this moment.

Especially Spa and many dwarf craftsmen.

You know what, you really have to say, if you really think about it according to this logic, it seems to sound fine!

Especially the explanation of the undead. If you put yourself in the context of this, and if they hate the living in order to spread negative energy, it seems to explain why they are also living beings, but they hate other lives.

Because this is not an ecosystem at all.

Several dwarf craftsmen even subconsciously raised a few questions and discussed them with Charon.

For a moment, Charon, who was in high spirits, even began to preach in front of the dwarf craftsmen, such as why the Dark God controls death but hates the undead?
