Chapter 10 Name

The style of this map, Zhou Mu, is all too familiar.

Although only a small portion of the southern Mourning mountain range is depicted, this map looks exactly like Zhou Mu when he opens the map interface in-game.

impossible is such a coincidence.

That is to say, behind this map is likely to hide clues of their old acquaintance, but it is not clear whether the other party is an enemy or a friend.

Of course, from the point of view of the opponent handing over the map to an Evoker, the enemy’s probability seems to be greater.

But in any case, he couldn’t miss this clue.

Zhou Mu stared at the man, trying to make his voice as intimidating as possible.

“Where did you get this map?”

Silence.

“Do you want to say it or can’t say it?”

Still silent.

“That means you can’t talk?”

Looking at David who said nothing, Zhou Mu continued to ask.

David answered through gritted teeth.

“I can tell you everything except the origin of this map.”

“I’m not interested in other things, this is all I want to know.”

“Then kill me.”

The other party’s answer surprised him somewhat. Since he surrendered so decisively earlier, he is definitely not the kind of person who takes death as his own.

If the other party can choose to die so calmly, then the reason behind it is probably not greed or loyalty.

It should be fear.

After all, in this world, death is not the worst destination.

“I know there are some ways to punish your soul for telling certain secrets. But as it happens, I also have some ways to make your soul suffer the same…”

“You simply don’t know…”

David directly interrupted Zhou Mu’s threat.

“You simply don’t know what it means to be tortured by the soul, and you don’t know what real terror is. You can threaten me with enough power to banish the Staggering Demon alone, but don’t think I will. Fear. I tell you, this little power of yours is nothing compared to that lord.”

“Very good, I’ve finally got some eyebrows. Tell me who the lord you are talking about, I I promise to give you a happy death.”

The other party immediately closed his mouth.

“Do you think that as long as you don’t speak up, I can’t do anything about you? If you have this idea, I advise you to throw it away.”

Zhou Mu After waiting for a few more seconds, seeing that the other party still looked like death, he had no choice but to sighed.

“Okay, it’s your choice. To be honest, even if you really damn, I don’t really want to do it.”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked towards his back. .

“Liliana.”

“Ah…here.”

Liliana replied to him like a waking dream.

Zhou Mu couldn’t help frowned when he saw the girl’s dejected look.

“It’s not your fault.”

Liliana’s eyes turned red, she choked.

“But how should I tell their family this bad news, how to explain why I am the only one alive, how should I face them, I don’t know…”

Zhou Mu picked up the discarded lead-colored staff from the ground, and handed the staff to the trembling girl.

“Tell them the culprit is dead.”

Liliana looked up towards him in surprise.

“This is also the only thing you can do to bring some comfort to the relatives of those who have passed away. The rest can only be left to time.”

After that, a jet-black energy beam shot out from Withering Chill, hitting David, who was tied to the side, head-on.

He fell down with his head up.

Zhou Mu walked over and half-kneeled in front of the body that had just lost Life Aura. Released Withering Chill in his hand, the staff did not fall to the ground, but floated beside him as if alive.

His right hand was covered with a hazy black illusory shadow, and he put his hand directly into David’s body – his hand penetrated like an illusory ghost. From the corpse, an equally illusory humanoid silhouette was drawn from it.

That’s the soul of David Orbis.

He looked a little confused at the moment, and didn’t seem to understand what was going on until he saw his body lying on the ground.

+Where did that map come from? +

Zhou Mu did not speak, but used his own will to utter the voice of the soul.

To rule the will of others by the law of one’s own will.

Master Level Undead spell 【Law of the Dead 】.

The look on David’s face changed from initial confusion to sluggishness, then to endless agony.

+What is the name of the grown-up in your mouth and where is it? +

Seeing that the other party still didn’t answer, Zhou Mu estimated how much the other party’s soul could bear, and used [Law of the Dead] again.

The soul of the other party began to shake violently under Zhou Mu’s order, and it seemed that it was almost unable to maintain its human form. After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words with difficulty and slowness.

“The group…Father of Crows, Thorn City…”

He couldn’t finish his words, because when he uttered the first word, his soul went up Suddenly, three scratches appeared, and each time he said a word, the scratches became deeper.

After he uttered the name Thorn City, the scratches ripped his soul to shreds.

Zhou Mu fell into silence as he watched the tiny dots of light scattered across the sky as his soul dissipated.

This is the first spell he has seen after crossing the road that has never appeared in the game. He didn’t even know how to stop it.

“Father of Crows…a name I haven’t heard of at all…and Thorn City?”

Thorn City is a place that reminds Zhou Mu of some current more urgent things to do.

That is to restore Twilight Fortress, which is now in ruins.

No matter what, he couldn’t let the place that carried so many memories of him continue to be so abandoned.

But getting Twilight Fortress back to its original state was no easy task. The exquisite defense systems and functional designs in Twilight Fortress have condensed the hard work of the strongest craftsmen and enchanters in the continent. Zhou Mu even doubted whether he would be able to reproduce this place a thousand years later. All the functions of the fortress do not fall.

Even if it’s the next best thing, just fixing the frame is not a small project.

Ordinary building materials and labor problems are better to say, the big deal is to spend more time and energy summon elemental servants as coolies. But the trouble is that because of years of lack of maintenance, all the seal runes buried inside the building structure have been deactivated, and he has to build the entire fortress’ rune system from scratch.

This is a very important job, and it must be started together when rebuilding the main body of the fortress, which is equivalent to a house being routed before being renovated. Otherwise, even if it is repaired, Twilight Fortress is nothing more than a stone fortress with its appearance, and it is simply powerless to deal with the invasion of the Moon Realm monsters.

And re-laying the magic seal rune system requires a lot of Elemental Silver – a magic seal metal that has a strong affinity for various attribute spells.

Although his treasure hall does have some reserves of Elemental Silver, it is only kept as a sample and cannot meet the needs of rebuilding the Twilight Fortress at all.

And the largest source silver mine and refinery in the continent is in Thorn City, at least a thousand years ago in Thorn City.

This, coupled with the fact that I have to investigate the Father of Crows who can’t figure out his identity, it seems that I really need to go to Thorn City.

Zhou Mu held the Withering Chill floating aside again, turned and asked Liliana.

“I remember you said before, you’re studying at Offa University in Blackwater Marsh, right?”

Liliana didn’t study undead spells, so Zhou Mu just interrogated David The scene of the soul, from her point of view, was just that the other party walked over to the corpse and squatted down, then stood up holding something, and finally froze for a while.

She nodded, then corrected.

“It’s not Blackwater Marsh, it’s Blackwater Province. Blackwater Marsh is an ancient name a long time ago.”

The other party didn’t tell her much about this topic, but went on to asked.

“Is the headquarters of Offa University still in Thorn City?”

What is “still”? Hasn’t it been the same in Thorn City since more than a thousand years ago?

Suppressing her doubts about the other party’s strange question, Liliana replied .

“Yes, always in Thorn City.”

“So, don’t you want to go back to school when things are over here? I happen to be going to Thorn City for some things too. Okay, since it’s on the way, how about I hire you as a guide for this trip? If you’re paid, I’ll use the previous pendant to pay, what do you think about this deal?”

How about this deal?

If you’re just a guide, then this deal is a big hit!

Although Liliana is not an expert in enchanting identification, this level of enchanting items is definitely the highest level in the Academy’s collection, and it is estimated that it can sell tens of thousands of Riel at auction. price.

By comparison, hiring a guide to Thorn City can cost you a dozen Riels at most.

But the problem is that the other party is a heretic mage who has betrayed the laws of the stars. No matter which city he goes to, as long as he is discovered, he will be wanted by the church and the local lord.

Of course, she has no doubt that this man with bottomless strength can easily escape. But by then, as his guide, he will be extremely unlucky.

And, more importantly. She doesn’t know anything about this person except that he is an unfathomable mystery.

This is really not a deal that can put you at ease.

But…

The other party saved his life and avenged himself.

In any case, this kindness must be repaid.

…………

The girl named Liliana hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

“Yes, I promise, but before that, I need to know your name.”

“Your name…”

Yes, What am I supposed to call myself?

It wasn’t until this time that he began to think carefully about this issue.

Is Zhou Mu? This comes from the name of the steel jungle in the previous life.

But now that I’ve come to this world, do I need to call myself by this name again?

He was silent for a long time, until a panicked expression appeared on the girl’s face.

“William Kane.”

He opened the mouth and said, as if announcing something, and named the character he played in Second Life.

The name that once rang through the continent.

“My name is William Kane.”
