Demon Royal Family

Ivo held a cup of hot milk with a strange expression on his face, and the two returned to the upper level of the castle. The saint actually took out a bunch of food and drink. I don’t know where the saint collected it from.

"What kind of milk is this?" The hot milk in the porcelain cup is steaming, and the fragrance of milk penetrates into the nose, penetrates the heart and mind, and takes a sip. The hot milk flows down the throat, and the mouth is full of mellow and rich milk. It tastes like milk. Ivo's eyes lit up and he smacked his lips, "It tastes really good."

The saint chuckled, "This is kobold milk I collected from a small secondary space."

"puff--"

Ivo squirted out a mouthful of milk and scratched his throat frantically, unable to vomit. When he saw the saint holding the milk in his hands without taking a sip, he suppressed his nausea and said angrily: "Why don't you drink it yourself!"

The saint laughed and said, "I am a spirit body and cannot drink."

Then you can make two more cups! You are really teasing me!

"The place of return is very large. Life forms attached to many secondary spaces in the main world will come here after death..."

The saint pointed his finger, and the golden light formed a map in mid-air. "The land of return is mainly divided into several areas. The Sea of ​​Rest, the Judgment Stand and the Temple of the Death are in the center, and the Gost Wasteland, which is the gray wasteland, surrounds the center. This is the largest part. There is a huge mountain range to the west, the Aprish Mountains, to the north is the Spittel Abyss, and further out is the outer realm of the dead covered by endless thick fog, which is full of the most primitive pure elements. It’s what’s called chaos.”

Ivo touched his chin, "Although the land of return is huge, the map is quite simple."

The saint said: "The Sea of ​​Rest is the melting pot of souls and the ultimate destination of death. However, there are always some lucky people who still maintain consciousness after death and become undead. They settle down in the place of return and gradually form secret settlements. Gouster Wasteland, There are settlements of the undead in the Aprish Mountains and the Spittel Abyss, and these undead are the only residents of the place of return, other than the gods of the dead world.”

Ivo looked at the saint, "Are you in this category too?"

The saint nodded, "Yes, the undead that can awaken their consciousness and escape annihilation belong to this category. There are only about two hundred undead settlements in the entire place of return, and the number of people in each settlement ranges from ten to a thousand. , compared to the huge number of unconscious ghosts, these people are just a drop in the ocean, so the gods of the dead world acquiesce in their survival."

"I gained eternity in disguise." Ivo was surprised.

The saint shook his head, "Without consciousness, no need to eat or drink, and facing the monotonous gray land every day, such an eternity is nothing but torture. You should have met Reed, he is an example."

Ivo was startled.

"Haha, don't be so surprised. Hundreds of years ago, Reed was one of the ghosts attracted by my soul-gathering tablet. He accidentally awakened his consciousness and lost most of his memory, but he had the instinct to fight during his lifetime. I will fight for him Reshaping the undead body... This kind of thing is very simple in the place of return. As long as the ghost who awakens consciousness goes to the outer realm of the dead to contact Chaos, Chaos will automatically shape an undead body for it."

Ivo looked surprised, "There is such a magical thing."

“The wonders of nature are always beyond human imagination.”

"Then why don't you reshape your body?"

The saint shook his head and said: "A soul that is too powerful cannot trigger the reshaping effect of chaos."

The saint paused and continued: "I spent a lot of treasures to give Reed various special abilities, and sent him back to the main world to become the gatekeeper of the death world. He blocked the souls of the dead at the entrance to the place of return and reduced the number of main characters. He has done a good job in the loss of the world for hundreds of years, blocking at least half of the dead in the main world. The accumulated souls linger at the entrance to the place of return, turning the nearby sea into a ghost."

Ivo suddenly realized, no wonder Reed could open the door to the place of return.

"In addition to sharing my knowledge, wisdom, and intelligence with you, I can also give you a special help."

The golden light of the saint's spirit body flashed, and a dark stone appeared in his hand, with light blue lines carved on the surface. "This is the soul stone. My hundreds of soul gathering tablets have accumulated countless ghosts. I can create it." Soul Stone, strengthen your weapons and armor."

Ivo cheered up, this kind of help is substantial.

"The higher the quality of the item, the more soul stones will be consumed to upgrade it, and the failure rate will increase. If you want to strengthen the equipment, I need to go to the soul gathering tablets in different locations to collect souls. You have to wait for a while."

Ivo understood, "It just so happens that I have something to do." He took out the white wooden board and the red spear. The red spear pointed at the Spittel Abyss, and the white wooden board pointed at the Aprish Mountains. Abel Helix, who is pointed at by the red spear, has become a heroic spirit in Valhalla. The Spittel Abyss is another doorway to the place of return, which can lead to other secondary planes. Ivo Prepare to go to the Aprish Mountains first to look for the Capital of the Dead.

"There are no monsters in the place of return, and there is no danger. What you have to be careful about is the settlement of the undead. They are hostile to living life." The saint said: "In the Aprish Mountains, there lives a god of the dead, Hypnos. He is the God of Rest, the only god of the dead who lives outside the Sea of ​​Rest. He is the younger brother of Thanatos. The legendary battleship Capital of the Dead you are looking for is likely to be in the treasure room of Hypnos. "

Hypnos has a temple in the Aprish Mountains that contains a large collection of treasures.

Ivo is in trouble, how can he take away the treasure from a god?

"Hypnos has been sleeping all year round. The ones guarding the treasure are the Death Guards. As long as you can avoid the Death Guards, you can sneak into Hypnos' treasure room." The saint grabbed a small ball of light from his chest and floated it in the air. On Wo's shoulder, "This is my spiritual clone. I can guide you at any time."

"If the god of death discovers me, will I be doomed?" Ivo asked.

"If it's Hypnos, you shouldn't be in danger. He's different from the other gods of the dead... Of course, that's assuming he doesn't know that you're trying to hide his treasure."

Ivo nodded and immediately set off towards the Aprish Mountains.

If he can get the legendary battleship, his power will be greatly increased.

…

The Aprish Mountains are the same as the Goost Wasteland. There is no vegetation, only bare gray mountains, and the towering mountains.

The passage of time was unknown to the place of return. Ivo silently estimated that it took about a month on the road, mainly to make a large circle to avoid the Sea of ​​Rest in the center, otherwise it would not have been so long.

Entering the Aprish Mountains, Ivo followed the guidance of the small light group and headed to the highest peak of Aprish, where Hypnos’ temple is located. Ivo also asked Hypnos if he did not live in the Sea of ​​Rest. The reason is that the saint said that Hypnos opposed Thanatos's cooperation with the gods of heaven and was not on the same page as the other gods of the dead.

The terrain of the mountain range is complex. Ivo walked in a tunnel for most of the day, surrounded by darkness and strange wind sounds from time to time.

Suddenly, a green outline of a human face appeared in front of him, blocking the way. More than a dozen high-level undead with dark green bodies appeared, with entities and different appearances, including humans, dwarves, and jackals. The undead body reshaped by chaos restores its appearance in life.

Ivo stopped, his face tightened, and he warily looked at the undead settlement he encountered for the first time.

These special undead whispers, showing eyes of covetousness, hatred, and greed.

"What did I see? It was the living!"

"Fresh flesh and blood!"

"I really want to use his blood to nourish my dry body."

"I'm so thirsty!"
