Chapter 236: The Red Thread of Poison
Phalen was shocked by the answer. "Don't tell me you intentionally poisoned yourself for what?"
Fiona pointed her sword at the sky, pointing at the moon. "Of course. The closer you get to death,"
the more powerful you become."
Phalen turned and walked away immediately. "Then I'll go first. Good luck."
Fiona, slightly confused, ran toward the corpse lying on the ground.
It was the corpse of Hope, who had been split in two.
Fiona ran to retrieve Hope's belongings.
But to call it collecting things from Hope would be strange. It should be more appropriate to call it stealing things from the corpse.
Red blood was flowing out, along with the death that indicated shock from the attack.
Fiona ran and stole all the belongings and then started chasing Phalen.
Time passed, and Seraph ran into the forest, in the darkness.
Running in a hurry, the demon corpses scattered all over the ground.
Seraph ran at full speed, looking around, only seeing trees, with no sign of reaching his destination.
Seraph stopped immediately. "Wait, are you saying I'm lost?"
Seraph was extremely anxious, sweat pouring down his face in a frenzy. "No way! I have to wait. The Golden Fly has been stomped by that damn bird until there are no more corpses left."
As Seraph was frantically running, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind Seraph.
Seraph turned to look. [I hope it's not those two?]
Seraph saw the approaching people. It was Fiona and Phalen, walking together.
Seraph was greatly relieved. [I'm saved! I thought I'd gotten lost and ended up in a very dangerous place. No, it must be extremely dangerous.]
The two of them arrived in front of Seraph.
Fiona thought. "What? Junior, aren't you going back yet?"
Seraph nodded, turning to look at Phalen, who had brought himself along.
Phalen explained instead, "I brought this kid to help you because I thought it would be a big fight, so I brought him along."
Seraph nodded. [I'm so angry, dragging a kid like me into this kind of fight.]
Fiona smiled slightly. "Next time, just don't tear up other people's letters and read them.
I put so much effort into writing them, and it's all in vain."
Phalen walked forward, leaving the two of them in place.
Fiona ran after him, happily, with Seraph following behind.
Fiona looked up at the sky, lit by the full moon.
"Sigh... Is it time to go back already? We've come all this way."
"Will you be back in the morning?" Phalen asked curiously.
Fiona nodded. "Of course. We've defeated that guy, and the bracelet from the journey. If I can sell these items, I'll have money to travel around with peace of mind."
Phalen walked forward, and there was one thing he couldn't help but ask.
"What about your poison?"
Fiona tilted her head slightly. "It's been taken care of. The poison is a magical item called the Red Thread of Poison. It uses one person as the target's location,
and another to inflict poison. I chose to inflict poison on that person as the target.
If you're too far away, the poison will be more powerful and painful. Now, do you understand why I've hunted that guy down and brought him here?"
Phalen understood immediately. "Because of the Red Thread of Poison. Just kill the person with the location, and the poison will disappear. How bold of you." Taking risks like this...
Fiona looked embarrassed at being complimented. "Gee... That's too much praise. We're alive now, so let's make the most of it. The bigger the risk, the more fun it is. So, excitement is the sweetest thing."
The Seraph, listening to the conversation, was greatly shocked by Fiona's unusual behavior.
[Seriously? I thought you were cheerful, but you're quite different.]
Time passed, and the three arrived at their destination. Pokraras Village was beginning to undergo repairs. A number of villagers
and the Lanna Clan members were hurriedly repairing the village.
The three walked into the village, and as time passed, they walked along the streets, which were filled with people.
Lanzo, who had been walking, ran towards Phalen. Whoosh!
Lanzo was running hurriedly, looking at Phalen with displeasure.
"Hey, Phalen, everyone's working. What are you doing?"
Phalen yawned, laziness taking over Phalen.
A tired tone filled Phalen's voice. He let out an irritated groan.
"What about my little sister?"
"She's asleep already. It's a bit suspicious why she's wearing a blindfold to sleep, but forget about it for now. I have something very important to tell you."
Seraph heard this and secretly looked away, feeling like Phalen was secretly staring at him.
[Still in there? What a strange kid!]
Lanzo stared at Fiona. "It would be weird to say it here, so come join me."
Fiona nodded and followed Lanzo, keeping her distance from them to prevent the sound from being heard.
Phalen leaned closer to Lanzo's face. "What's the matter? Something important?"
Lanzo whispered. "It seems the skeleton mastermind was captured and beaten for information."
Phalen was very interested. "What did you find out?"
"I heard it was for the Great One. This is a trivial matter.
It says a ritual to honor the Great One."
Phalen looked Lanzo in the eyes. "And who is the Great One you're talking about?" "
Lanzo shook his head. "I don't know. That's all."
"I didn't get anything."
Lanzo nodded. "That's right. I saw that when the Perseus Clan kids were fighting that guy.
That guy was just a few moments away from escaping our capture."
"Was it the Perseus Clan that did it?"
"No. I heard that a lightning bolt with a level four attack hit that guy.
The attack knocked Bone unconscious."
In a certain place, in the basement,
a skeleton named Li Wen was sitting in the basement.
People in yellow robes from the Lanna Sect were standing guard in all directions.
And in front of Li Wen, an old man, he looked limp, almost emaciated.
"Now, Bone, what's your goal?"
Li Wen, who was tied up and unable to move.
The room was illuminated by yellow light, revealing a skeletal face.
"For the Great One."
Li Wen was still deeply resentful. [Tch, if it weren't for that lightning attack, whose power it was, suddenly struck down, I would have escaped and gone back to that Great One.]
The old man asked again, "What's your Great One's name?"
Li Wen didn't show the slightest bit of fear.
"Die, you'll find out. More importantly, who used the lightning attack? I have a debt to kill you?"
The old man turned to look at the people behind him. "That can be explained if you tell me the details."
Li Wen smiled. "Didn't I tell you? My Great One's name is Death.
The one who summons the demons and the dead, bringing them back to life. This is him."
The old man pretended to think. "So it is. There's nothing in my travel log." About this, "
The old man didn't know either, which puzzled Li Wen greatly. Why would he make a gesture to ensure he knew?
The four people remained silent, but they were equally curious.
Li Wen spoke up, "What about me? Tell me, who is he?"
The old man stuck out his tongue teasingly, "But... I'm sorry, there's no one, and I don't want to tell you."
The old man acted like a child, still full of playfulness.
But his face didn't allow him to do so.
Only the look of sadness on the face of a Lanna sect member, who had to endure the sight of an old man acting like a child.
Li Wen stared, as if he would kill the old man in front of him if he had the chance.
The old man raised his hand to stop him, telling him not to be so hasty. "Wait a minute, that lightning that stopped you...
It's just something that was created by some kind of energy transformation. So, something, something called something.
It works with something, something happens, something is created, something called something.
Until it becomes what you call something.
You have to find a way to do something. We only have information, something. So, I'm sorry. Something like that. Do you understand?
Li Wen was extremely angry. "Okay. You don't want to tell me, do you? That white light in the middle, what is it?"
The old man nodded. "That thing is called... Uh... Negative Energy, I guess. It negates the energy in the air.
Causing the energy that should have appeared to disappear.
So, this must be said to have disappeared forever.
It can't be recreated like this. Do you know what it is?"
Li Wen looked at the old man, who had a deep desire for knowledge.
"I don't know. Thanks to that guy, the bones all over the continent were hit by this damn light. It made them disappear.
Do you understand what happened?" You've done something unforgivable.
The old man nodded. "Eviren, the Bone Swarm King, is attacking this place to vent his anger. Is that what you're trying to say?"
Li Wen laughed. "Hahahahahahahaha, I see. It seems you know the Grand Master too. Interesting, interesting, interesting."
The old man smirked. "Heh heh heh heh heh."
The old man laughed with amusement, following Li Wen's lead.
Li Wen glared at the old man. "Why are you laughing?"
The old man stopped laughing. "You were laughing first. I was just following. You think you have the ability
to tell me information, you scum. With the honor of the Lanna Sect,
You'll die here. There's no escape or information. If we don't tell you the light came from us,
then that's the end of the story. Isn't it ridiculous? Hahahahahaha."
The old man stopped laughing. Eyes filled with long-held resentment. "Your death will be a painful one."
