From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead

An outside member of the guild?

The boy was a little confused after hearing Angel's words, and looked at his captain Barbara.

The female mage said softly: "Phillip, Lord Angel is the deputy city lord of the City of Order and the head of the Adventurer's Guild branch here.

"You work part-time as an employee under her. You are responsible for some work related to adventurers on weekdays. It has nothing to do with hunting monsters in my team."

Of course she hopes that Philip can establish a relationship with Angel, so that her team can be closer to this powerful warrior.

"Your name is Philip, right?"

The female warrior seemed to have an expressionless face all the time, and she said in a light tone: "The City of Order originally had a great mage who studied necromancy.

"It's just that he is currently in the lower area. It may take two days before he can come back before the ruins are opened. You can let him guide you then."

The Archmage of the Undead?

Although Phillip was a little curious about other necromancers and ruins, he didn't ask any more questions now.

He nodded and said: "Thank you, madam, I will do my best in the next inquiries."

"Then I'm going to get started."

After speaking, Phillip took out a black staff, held it with both hands and poked it on the ground in front of him.

He closed his eyes and began to recite a spell: "Great Lord of Hell, please free the lost souls and let him appear here..."

After a few breaths, a cold wind blew around him, and four vague and transparent figures gradually appeared in the void.

"Asa..."

Rande's eyes slowly widened, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, but he kept his mouth shut for fear of disturbing the spell.

When the dead souls in the void were completely stable, Philip began to ask: "What happened to you people?"

The dead soul cannot speak, and no one else can hear any answers. Only the necromancer who casts the interrogation technique can get the answer.

Soon, illusory images appeared in Philip's mind.

It was the undead sharing his memories of his life with him, and he could even hear intermittent voices:

An adventurer discovered a suspicious person hiding in the dark, took aim with his bow and arrow, and then a figure in black armor appeared, spoke, and lifted the helmet visor...

Several dead souls dissipated, and the questioning was over.

"What happened? What happened to them?" Barbara asked confused.

Because she just saw a sudden change in the boy's face, as if she had seen a shocking scene.

Rand also asked hurriedly: "What did you see? Did a man in black armor kill them? Do you recognize that man?"

Including several other adventurers, as well as Angel the White Bird, their eyes were fixed on Philip at this time, waiting for him to give an answer.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Phillip said:

"Yes, I saw a man wearing black armor, but those who were killed obviously did not recognize him, and he did not show his appearance."

"Where's the ability? Where's the weapon? Where's the voice?"

Rande frowned and continued to ask: "Doesn't it have any characteristics except armor? The murderer must have said something?"

"……No."

The young man shook his head slowly and said calmly:

"The sound was distorted by magic, and the picture obtained by Asking Spirit was incomplete. I didn't see the specific spells used by the other party.

"As for the words, I only heard the other person say, 'Go to hell' and that's all."

After saying this, Rande and his teammates looked at each other: Isn't this no valuable information at all?

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Angel said calmly: "I will ask the people below to issue the wanted order as usual, but you'd better not expect too much results."

"Thank you, Deputy City Lord."

Rand clenched his fists and said with a sullen face:

"However, even if the guild's wanted order has no effect, I will find a way on my own and will never let that person go! As long as he is still in the middle level, he can't escape!"

Philip on the side, seeing that no one else doubted his words, was relieved and worried at the same time...

…

The next day, an urgent wanted order was issued from the City of Order:

There is a reward of 20,000 gold coins for the murderer who killed someone on Fengjin Road on the 26th floor - codenamed "Black Samurai".

A portrait in black full-body armor was posted next to the city gate, lined up with other wanted criminals.

…

[Bounty increased, experience +600, free points +3]

[Successfully evade for one day, experience +20, strength +0.2]

Bounty increase?

Roja looked at the text that appeared on the panel.

Is it because the abnormal behavior of some monsters on floors 21-26 has attracted the guild's attention? Or is it because I killed someone yesterday?

‘City of Order, is there a new wanted order? ’

"Yesterday..." the man said, "Someone was killed on the 26th floor..."

Oh, I see.

At this time, Roja was staying in a cave on the 25th floor, sitting on a seat made of frost.

There were several controlled sand wolves lying at his feet - as long as the original monsters were still there, no new monsters would be born in this cave.

Standing in front of him was a male warrior who had reached level three and was wearing black leather armor.

The male warrior stood there blankly, his eyes blank, already in a state of being hypnotized by the young dragon.

'What's this? ’

After asking about the wanted order, Roja took out a black square metal plate with a silver bull head pattern engraved on it.

"This is... the transport spell to enter the 'Contradiction Spiral'," the male warrior said slowly.

At Roja's request,

He began to tell all the relevant information about the demon Lati and the ruins he left behind.

"...The demon god Lati is good at time and space magic and observation of destiny. The most famous thing is that he once made a prophecy of doomsday."

Doomsday prophecy?

Roja was very surprised when he suddenly heard this.

The man continued unconsciously: "He predicted... that the great apocalypse will come before all races naturally die out.

"——The sky will fall, the earth will overturn, the sea will dry up, and the souls and flesh of all life will be swallowed up by darkness and nothingness."

Is there such a thing?

Roja asked curiously: 'When will the end come? ’

The man replied: "In the spiral of contradictions, there is a huge clock tower made of stone. Every time the ruins are opened, the clock tower will make a new prediction of the arrival time of the doomsday...

"The time of the last prediction... I don't know. The guild prohibits adventurers from spreading or discussing this news..."

Roja asked: 'Did the Demon God only make a prophecy and not give a plan to avoid this doomsday? ’

The man said: "This is the ultimate puzzle left by the devil in the ruins, and someone once gave the correct answer.

"The answer is: In the era of imminent doomsday, the world needs to give birth to new heroes..."
