Chapter 353 The Secret of the Slate

The melodious bells came from afar, causing ripples in the ground.

The rats have gathered.

Tritus didn't dare to get into the group of rats, but just hid in the dark and watched their movements.

Maybe it has a chance to find its way home from the underground. It has never missed the clan hall of the grinning clan as much as it does now.

Of course, it must not be discovered by the slave rats, or even communicate with the senior ratmen of the Corrupt Clan, and it will no longer be a warlord after leaving the army.

The most important thing is that the low-level ratmen of the Corrupt Clan don't look too smart and don't look like creatures that can communicate.

So, why are they gathering? Are the corrupt clans going to start a war?

Vlad had already expected that Nagash would question his inaction. The Great Necromancer had always been like this. Perhaps letting him personally command every walking corpse would satisfy him.

Why not attack the gathering place of human officers, why not lead the legion to break into Talabek Territory, why.

How could there be so many reasons? Did Vlad want to allow a powerful enemy to cause trouble in the hinterland of Sylvania?

No, this seems to be a feasible plan. If it were not for the overall situation, Vlad would have already led the lizard man to Nagash so that his plan could be ruined.

Unless the Great Necromancer can silence him.

Maybe you can use another way of thinking to resist him.

The west of Sylvania is swamp and forest, but the northeast is wilderness.

The Hungry Jungle and the Ghoul Forest were further west of Lynch. With his eyesight, he could easily see the deep dark forest at the edge of the wasteland.

This place should have been connected in a longer time, and they all belonged to the same forest.

However, the rain of dimensional stones falling from the sky destroyed its eastern part. This may be a consequence of a failed moon-shaking plan of the Demon Toad Priest of the Moon City.

Although Xie Yue would often throw part of its surface to the ground, it could not cut off a large piece of material from its body, it could only be forced to do so.

Unfortunately, the Slann failed to succeed and only made Sylvania more dangerous.

There are traces of dimension stones everywhere in the wasteland, and Lynch can smell the stench of Isil crystals with just a slight sniff.

Vampires and Skaven took them, but they still radiate their influence on the world.

The deserted villages and the wild graves occupied by weeds were left behind by Lynch. Occasionally, he discovered three or two villages that were still inhabited by people. However, he had no interest in talking to humans. He just wanted to dig up a card. Count Stein's tomb was rummaged through and the ancient holy tablets were found.

There is no need to communicate with human beings who have fallen for themselves.

Sylvanians are not even as good as the common people of Bretonnia. They fear the nobles even more than the latter, and are extremely xenophobic.

Intimidation and violent coercion are the most effective methods to communicate with them. Fortunately, Lynch is good at communication, otherwise he would not be able to find even a clue to the stone slab.

If you use normal means to ask the locals, you will only get false information that is overt and covert. They speak two languages.

Lynch had just watched a scam that dwarf travelers encountered not long ago, and the butcher's experience inspired the lizard man.

There are always strong winds under the dark clouds. Strong winds often arise in this place where the sun never shines, not just in a practical sense.

The Caledor mage's approach stone was desecrated. Perhaps the original Sylvanian nobles built their castle on the approach stone unintentionally, but the location of the subsequent vampire fortress was not a random coincidence.

As a witness, Lynch had an obligation to bulldoze the illegal construction on the approach stone, and he had to do it.

The guiding stone is built on the spiritual vein nodes. It is not a wise move to allow vampires to use the power overflowing from the spiritual veins.

Who knows what tricks the undead are preparing secretly?

If they have enough magic power, they can even split the World's Edge Mountains in one fell swoop.

The abnormal magic vortex caused the endless wind of Shasu to rise in this land, and the power of death lingered here. This is the holy land of the Necromancer.

What's worse is that the local residents seem to be very accustomed to this kind of life among the dead and are happy to accept the rule brought by fear. Necromancers are legal here.

Lynch also discovered something - there are no young people in human villages.

It is impossible for vampires to cut off the reproduction of Sylvanians at once, so they can only join the army. Obviously, Sylvania is fighting against the empire, and it is impossible for Sylvanians to join the empire's legions.

Lynch had no intention of pursuing who was right or wrong. There was no right or wrong in war, but they deviated from the path.

The undead that remain in the world as deformities were not part of the plan.

The figure that flew across the earth at high speed suddenly turned a corner and crashed into an old castle that was not on the route. By the time he was exposed to the night again, the old castle had become history.

A super-large bat with only half its body left screamed and flapped its wings and flew into the distance. The lizard man didn't even bother to pay attention to it anymore. He just maintained the guiding stone.

This made his journey much slower, but he was in no rush.

While purifying the Waystone, he could also get inside information about Sylvania. He was very interested in the origin of the sudden large-scale vampire invasion of the empire.

He has outstanding communication skills, and no vampire can resist his charm, but even so, he failed to pry open the deepest secrets hidden by vampires.

Something blocked their will, as Lynch discovered more than once.

The timid blood descendants are not determined to die, they just cannot pass on the secret.

But Lynch couldn't be sure whether this was Vlad using his bloodline to pass on his influence, or whether it was a trick played by other beings.

The road is still long, there are many hospitable hosts waiting for him to visit, and there are still many opportunities.

He had to cross this wasteland, cross the pale hills that separated north and south of Sylvania, and go to find the Carstein family cemetery near Duncanhof Castle.

I just don't know if that slate has actual value.

It may simply record a certain period of history, or it may record knowledge from ancient sages.

But the knowledge of the Ancient Sage is as vast as the sea of ​​stars. Perhaps it only records the forging process of cold weapons, or it may be the process of some kind of cosmic engine, or even the method of time and space travel with the help of Isil.

Lynch just hoped that he would be lucky enough to find a valuable stone tablet, preferably one related to the lizard people - which was also just one type of the ancient sage's knowledge of creation.

He is afraid that he has bad luck, but he is also afraid that he has too much luck.

If he really had his wish come true, it would be hard for him not to wonder whether the "Great Deceiver" had lowered his sights.

That will be the most terrifying future. He seems to accomplish nothing, but he always gets what he wants.

All Lynch could do was fight.

But fate has already included his figure, and there is little hope for a drop of water to resist the sea.
