Chapter 593 The Scourge Knight
As the palace door was pushed open, the magic lights on the pillars in the palace lit up one after another. Perhaps due to the passage of time, the energy of the magic lamp has weakened to the extreme. The weak light can only barely illuminate an area as big as a palm, as if it will go out at any time.
Lin Li and the two undead servants stood in front of the door with full vigilance for a moment, but they saw the figure sitting on the throne deep in the palace. Although it was constantly exuding a powerful aura, it seemed like a statue in the darkness. Not moving at all. Seeing this scene, Lin Li felt a little relieved. After all, if the other party was "alive", he might have alerted the other party when he and others pushed open the palace door.
Looking inside from outside the door, with the faint light of the magic lamp, the whole inside of the palace can be vaguely seen. In fact, there is nothing interesting to see. Except for the dark figure sitting on the throne in the deepest part, the palace is empty and there is nothing else superfluous.
Do you want to go in and take a look? Of course, we’ve come this far! Lin Li thought that he was also a legendary mage after all. Even if the thing inside was "alive", with his own strength and the trump card in his hand, at least he would not be taken down by the opponent. Thinking of this, Lin Li took Uyfalusi and Nofeile, stepped on the extremely luxurious red carpet on the ground, and walked into the palace.
In the faint light of the magic lamp, as Lin Li and others approached step by step, they could clearly see that the high platform supporting the throne was actually made of countless human bones. The huge throne on the high platform was made of the skeleton of a giant dragon. Although it had lost its appearance, the dragon skull coiled in front of the throne clearly told the visitor the origin of the throne. .
Compared with the huge dragon skeleton throne, the figure of the person sitting on the throne seemed a little thin. However, in the eyes of Lin Li and others, they did not feel that there was any incompatibility between the two. The man sat there in a simple manner, with his upper body straight and slightly leaning forward. He held a long sword in his right hand and stepped on the skull of the giant dragon in front of him with one foot. Although he was motionless, there was boundless power that was constantly spreading out. .
Especially Uyfalusi and Ruofeile, although they blocked their bodies in front of Lin Li out of the responsibility of protecting their master, they were still unable to feel the power of the Holy King of the Martial Universe to create the Holy King, Ye Kill God, and the Divine Seal Throne request. The most powerful and abandoned young master in the ninth level of the world, the Great Zhou royal family, asks for the throne of the divine seal and the most powerful one in the ninth level of the world. The God-creating General of the Zhou Royal Family, the Night Killing God, the Divine Seal Throne, Seeking Demons, the Most Powerful Abandoned Young Master of the Nine Heavens, the Great Zhou Royal Family, saw that powerful power, and the body still instinctively trembled slightly. Among the undead, the effect of the level gap is the most obvious. Even with so-called courage, the pressure of high-ranking people cannot be ignored no matter what.
Lin Li and others walked closer to Qian, and the face of the figure sitting on the throne gradually became clearer in their eyes. He has long, silver-white hair, eyebrows like sharp swords, drooped eyelids, a straight nose and a wide mouth. Even with his pale face, he can be called a handsome man. The man was wearing dark golden full-body armor, with exquisite magic patterns painted on the armor, and the joints were decorated with a ferocious one-horned demon skull. The scarlet cloak behind him is like the color of coagulated blood. Against the backdrop of the pale white skeletal throne, it makes people even more frightened.
Feeling the aura exuded by that man, Lin Li remembered the experience of the Death Mark and the group of death knights he had taken under his command. Although the auras between the two were extremely different, he could still be sure that this person was sitting there. The person on the throne is a death knight. No, that powerful aura can only be possessed by legendary strong men. This one should be the legendary Knight of Scourge.
Greg never mentioned that there was actually a Scourge Knight in this place. Lin Lidao (Zhuang Dabai) did not doubt that Ge Ruian would harm him. Although the fat old man screamed like a little bastard all day long, the concern inside him could not be faked at all. With Gregorian's concern for him, if there was even a trace of mention in that diary, he would tell him without missing a beat. Therefore, Greg did not say anything, which can only mean that it was not recorded in the diary. It was as simple as that.
In fact, seeing a Scourge Knight here was both unexpected and reasonable. Along the way, there were undead creatures everywhere. It would be strange if there were no undead in this main hall. However, he was a Scourge Knight after all, and he didn't know where his Death Knights were. If another group of Death Knights appeared, Lin Li would really have no choice but to escape.
Although Lin Li subdued a group of death knights at the Death Trace, the death knights led by the Scourge Knights were vastly different from those death knights who fought independently. Although the death knight will automatically stop his improvement after attaching himself to the Scourge Knight, and provide all the soul power gained to the Scourge Knight. However, as the strength of the Scourge increases, the death knights in battle will also receive greater and greater strength bonuses.
"Oh, it turns out to be a Scourge Knight. This is rare in Anriel Continent! Wait, this guy really wants to look familiar..."
Lin Li was still guessing about the origin of the Scourge Knight on the throne, and a voice suddenly appeared in his mind. It was Conneris, the greatest soul merchant in the world who claims to know everything.
Hearing Conneris say such words, Lin Li's heart suddenly lifted. Who is Conneris? He is an ancient demon god who has existed for countless years. He said that the familiar guy could be an ordinary cat or dog!
"Have you seen him? Where is he?" Lin Li asked Conneris while looking warily at the Scourge Knight on the throne.
"Don't worry, let me think about it, where is it... This feeling... I must have seen it before..." Conlinas racked his brains to recall, but after all, it was a long time ago. And he had existed in the soul state for too long, and his soul had been damaged to some extent. For a moment, he really couldn't remember who the Scourge Knight was in front of him.
"Hey, don't you remember? It's what you said when I went to Japan. Please tell me the origin of this guy's theory." Lin Li asked impatiently. Although the other party didn't know whether he was sleeping or something, after all, he was facing a scourge knight, and even a legendary magician still felt quite stressed.
"It seems... I only remember that I saw him in Qingfeng Plains. As for more things, I really can't remember." Conneris said with some distress. It’s really sad to think about the ancient demon god Tangtang being reduced to this state.
"Knights of Scourge... Breeze Plains..." Lin Li muttered a few words, and suddenly remembered the secret that He Dun had told him. At the same time, the death knight obtained the arm of the Immortal King and was successfully promoted to the Scourge Knight. He led the Death Knights to sweep across the Qingfeng Plain, causing a devastating disaster that reduced the population of the Qingfeng Plain by one-third.
Could it be that the person in front of me is the Knight of Scourge who turned Qingfeng Plain into a hell on earth? However, wasn't he purified by Velen, the prophet of the Temple of Light, so why did he come to this place again? Questions popped up in Lin Li's mind one after another. At the same time, he told Conneris the secret story Hutton had told, hoping that he would remember something after hearing these things.
"Hutton once told me about the Scourge Knight before, but I heard from him that the Scourge Knight was later purified by Velen, the prophet of the Temple of Light. It shouldn't be like this." When Lin Li thought about it, what he did (Zhuang Da) The purification (white characters) was naturally burned to ashes with holy light and holy fire. How could he still sit here and act like a statue?
Sure enough, after Lin Li's reminder, Conneris's memories seemed to have opened a floodgate and poured out. For a poor guy like him, the feeling of retrieving memories is always wonderful, especially when this memory can show his knowledge. He said: "You are talking about the Knight of Scourge Rodhart, you are like this Said, I think this guy does look a bit like (Zhuang Da continued to write in white)."
"You said his name is Rod Hart?" Lin Li was somewhat interested. When Hutton told the secret, he didn't mention the name of the Scourge Knight. "What else do you know about this Rod Hart?" Hart thing.”
What Conneris likes most now is to show off his knowledge to Lin Li. Especially after seeing Lin Li's monster-like improvement, he only had the knowledge he had accumulated in his long life to prove his worth, "Speaking of this Rod Hart, you will definitely not think of it. What did he do before? He is the most powerful paladin since the establishment of the Temple of Light..."
"Paladin! Are you saying that this Scourge Knight used to be a Paladin?" Lin Li looked at the motionless Scourge Knight on the throne in surprise. This world is really crazy. The high elves who hate the undead the most have various connections with the undead behind the scenes. The Paladins of the Temple of Light actually became the ones who massacred innocent people and almost turned Qingfeng Plain into a dead place. Knight of Scourge.
In the past, Conneris would always be flirtatious when talking to Lin Li, just to satisfy his own vanity. But now, he didn't dare to hold back at all, for fear of making Lin Li unhappy and his wish to rebuild his body would be in vain.
So, without waiting for Lin Lizai to press him, he told everything he knew about Rodhart in detail.
Rodhart's deeds have not been widely spread in Anriel Continent, but to Lin Li's ears, they are worthy of the word legend. The reason why it is not well-known in Anriel Continent is not only because of its age, but also because it is too ironic for the Temple of Light.
Rodhart's life experience is simple to say. Before becoming famous, his experience was as ordinary as a glass of boiled water. He was adopted by the priests of the Temple of Light since he was a child, and together with his companions who were also orphans, he received the strictest education from the Temple of Light. In any organizational force, such people who have been cultivated since childhood are the most reliable. Among religious forces, they are called dead soldiers, and in religion, they are called fanatics. In the entire Temple of Light, the ones who are least likely to betray are these fanatics who have been cultivated since childhood. Their beliefs are firm and crazy. Therefore, most of the outstanding ones are selected by the Heretic Inquisition and become the handle of the Temple of Light to eliminate heretics. Sharp sword.
When Rodhart was fifteen years old, he passed the examination of the Inquisition and joined the Inquisition with several equally outstanding teenagers. During this period, the Inquisition was the most mysterious institution in the Temple of Light, and even fewer of his deeds could be spread. The most common ones are the records of participating in missions, which year and day they participated in the purification operation against a certain heresy, how many heretics were purified with their own hands, etc.
It was not until the age of thirty-two that Rodhart reached the legendary realm and took over the position of chief judge of the Inquisition of the Temple of Light that he gradually began to be recognized by people. The first purification mission he led as the chief referee was to purify a legendary lich with a skeleton dragon. In that mission, Rodhart used almost no other moves. With his own strength, Rodhart slashed the Lich and the Skeleton Dragon neatly with his sword, and he became famous ever since.
With the subsequent actions of the Inquisition to purify heretics, the strength and shocking strength shown by this young chief referee made him the strongest paladin since the establishment of the Temple of Light. It can be said that Rodhart has reached the pinnacle of his life, and his reputation in the outside world has even surpassed that of the Pope. Countless people in the entire Temple of Light regard him as an idol.
"Oh, then why did he become a death knight again? Those guys from the Temple of Light may even have religious beliefs in their bones, so how could they become undead?" Lin Li asked strangely. UU Reading www.uukanｓｕｕｅt The dignified chief judge of the Temple of Light is also a fanatic who has been trained since childhood. I am afraid that even the bones are filled with the teachings of light, how can he be transformed into an undead? Not to mention a chief judge, even an ordinary priest, as long as he has bright faith in his heart, will not be easily converted into an undead creature.
"I don't know, what's so strange about this? No one can refuse the temptation of eternal life. The high elves are such a proud race, and they eventually went to study undead magic. For the Paladin, reaching the legendary realm is considered to be the Having reached the peak of strength, there is basically no hope for the Holy Domain. If you want to make a breakthrough, you can only find other ways out." Conneris said with a tone full of disdain.
Rodhart once entered the tomb of the Immortal King. Because the Immortal King was not a magician, he wanted to find a way to enter the sanctuary from the Immortal King. No one knows what kind of experience he had in the Tomb of the Immortal King. They only know that after he returned to the Temple of Light, he insisted on resigning from the position of chief referee, and never stepped out of the Temple of Light again.
Some people say that Rodhart received a revelation, so he stayed in seclusion for hundreds of years to seek a way to enter the holy realm. Some people also said that he was recuperating in seclusion, and in the end he died of his injuries. In any case, news of the death of this strongest paladin in the Temple of Light, a strong man in the legendary realm, finally came out after a hundred years. In accordance with Rodhart's last wish, the Temple of Light buried him in Breeze Plains, where it was said that he had stayed before being adopted.
