Chapter 84

"E-Rantel" has three city walls, and the area within the outermost wall, occupying about 1/4 of the space, takes up most of the western region.

It is the public cemetery of the entire "E-Rantel."

As a frontline fortress, every year when the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire go to war, it causes a large number of casualties.

Even up to now, rumors about the birth of the undead are varied, but they have never been confirmed. Even less does anyone truly know how the undead are born.

But there is one point that is the consensus of most people, and that is that in the place where the dead pass away, there is a chance for the undead to be born.

Among them, those who died unnatural deaths or had no one to mourn them have a greater chance of being reborn as the undead.

Therefore, whether it is the Empire or the Kingdom.

Both will conclude agreements during the war to solemnly mourn the dead, and this huge cemetery was established for this purpose.

Under the dim night sky,

A black shadow, with light but fast footsteps, approached the direction of the cemetery.

The closer to the cemetery, the more one can feel the quietness of the air; here, even during the day, very few people come, let alone at night.

From afar.

Tang Zheng saw a circle of walls, about four meters in height, which was the boundary line isolating the graveyard from the outside world.

He raised his head slightly.

On the bridge of his nose on the left side, Tang Zheng had a monocle stuck; this was the magic item he purchased, possessing the ability of "Night Vision."

So even under the dim night sky at this moment, Tang Zheng could still see the things around him clearly.

This kind of wall that looks high and sturdy from afar is clearly not to protect the graveyard, but to prevent the undead born inside the graveyard from entering the outside world.

As he gradually approached.

In the darkness, two watchtowers emitting soft light also appeared, and in between them was a tightly closed, heavy gate.

Clearly.

The passage into the graveyard at this time point had already been closed, and there were patrolling guards on the two watchtowers.

Not just guards, but also an adventurer party stationed there.

This is an arrangement made by the Adventurer Guild in cooperation with the city mayor, which is rotated every once in a while, for the purpose of dealing with the undead born in the graveyard.

"It seems I have to change places to enter." Tang Zheng's footsteps paused, and he went along the wall away from the direction of the watchtowers.

Soon.

Tang Zheng stopped under a wall more than four meters high, sized up the smooth surface of the wall, his expression unchanged.

A wall of this height is no problem for stopping ordinary undead, but for Tang Zheng, it cannot be called an obstacle at all.

His legs bent, and he kicked the ground forcefully.

Tang Zheng easily jumped to a height of about three meters, his palm flipped, a mithril dagger appeared in his palm, and he stabbed it into the wall, fixing himself on it.

Immediately after.

His wrist exerted force, his figure rose again; when his soles were level with the dagger stuck in the wall, his toes flicked, the dagger flew up and fell back into his hand.

In the blink of an eye.

Tang Zheng's body landed lightly on the wall, and then he flipped into the graveyard.

The first thing that came into view was large swaths of tombstones, and withered trees were blown by the wind, emitting a rustling sound.

Within each area of tombstones, one could see wooden house-shaped buildings less than a meter high.

Under the night sky at this moment, the shadows were elongated, giving people a sense of invisible fear and oppression! Facing such a gloomy scene, Tang Zheng was expressionless.

The world of his past life did not have such things as ghosts, yet there were still people who were afraid; besides being a psychological effect, it was actually more of a fear of the unknown.

And this world! That's right, there really are ghosts, to be precise, they should be called spirits!

How to deal with spirits?

Tang Zheng's mouth curled slightly, and he took steps to walk toward the depths of the graveyard: "Just slaughter them."

Accompanied by gradually going deeper.

The number of tombstones and withered trees also gradually became more numerous.

Tang Zheng observed the surrounding environment while recalling the details in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, Khajiit should be hidden in an underground temple located in the depths of the graveyard; at the start of the plot, he had already been lurking in the "E-Rantel" graveyard for five years.

It was for the purpose of collecting negative energy.

According to the current time, Khajiit should have only just infiltrated for about a year. A place like a graveyard has a home-field advantage for a necromancy-type magic caster like Khajiit, especially in this kind of night environment.

But daytime is clearly not suitable for action.

Those guards and the stationed adventurer party would patrol during the day; once any movement occurred in the graveyard, they would inevitably rush over at the first moment.

And the night environment.

As long as there is no large-scale undead impact on the wall, even if any movement occurs inside the graveyard, neither the guards nor the adventurer party would rashly enter, but would wait until daytime to deal with it.

If Khajiit's advantage lies in the field advantage.

Then.

In Tang Zheng's view, his advantage is information.

Among Khajiit's many methods, the one Tang Zheng is most concerned about and needs to treat seriously is the Bone Dragon.

This monster, although only 16Lv, possesses the ability to be immune to magic below the Sixth Rank; for magic casters of this world, it is simply a disaster.

The attacks contained in the Flame Archangel's hand with flame and holy attributes would also be offset by this characteristic.

In addition, the advantage caused by the huge body size makes the Bone Dragon, although low in level, possess power far exceeding that of its level.

This is a quite troublesome undead.

Actually.

According to the fact that it took Khajiit five years to gather enough negative energy to summon two Bone Dragons, the current Khajiit should have no way to summon a Bone Dragon.

But the countermeasures that should be made still need to be made; things in the world are not absolute.

Among the ten Flame Archangels Tang Zheng prepared, two were for dealing with the Bone Dragon; he didn't ask to eliminate it, just dragging the other party down would be enough.

The depths of the graveyard had already become quiet.

From time to time, bright glimmers like ghost fire flashed across the surrounding withered forest.

At a position about a hundred meters away.

A temple about three meters high, with a spire-shaped top, supported by thick stone pillars all around, looking very dilapidated and severely damaged, appeared in his field of vision.

Looking at the degree of damage.

The existence of this temple is probably very long-standing.

Tang Zheng also stopped his footsteps at this time, tilted his head slightly, and his gaze swept around.

Under the illumination of the dim moonlight, in the shade of the withered trees, there were faint shadows approaching in this direction!

At the same time, in the silent environment, sounds like the low growls of beasts began to rise one after another.

A rotten, foul-smelling odor suddenly permeated the air.

Facing the undead zombies gradually approaching here.

Tang Zheng flipped his wrist, and a Second Rank magic scroll appeared in his palm, which he squeezed forcefully.

Whoosh! A holy light flashed in the dark night, and in an instant, it condensed into a Guardian Angel.

Also at this moment.

The undead that had been slowly approaching here suddenly accelerated their movements, dense footsteps sounded, and even the hissing sounds became much louder.

Bang! A male undead zombie smashed through a withered tree and appeared first in the front left; with the enhancement of Tang Zheng's monocle "Night Vision," he could even see the maggots wriggling inside the rotten body.

"Go, lure all the undead in this area away."

Tang Zheng gave the order to this Guardian Angel expressionlessly.

Whoosh! The Guardian Angel's bright yellow wings flapped, its figure soared into the air, and it flew toward the distance.

And following the Guardian Angel's movements, the large number of undead that had been approaching in this direction changed direction simultaneously.

If one were to say.

That the aura of the living is like fragrant fatty meat to the undead, then the holy aura of an angel is like a torch in the dark night to the undead! Tang Zheng saw that the temple a hundred meters away had no intention of approaching, and stood where he was, waiting quietly.

About seven or eight minutes or so.

The undead in this area had all been lured away by that Guardian Angel.

"Second step."

Tang Zheng smiled slightly, his hands flipped, and a "Second Rank · Angel Summoning" magic scroll appeared in each.
