Chapter 404
byChapter 404: The Residence of the Church of the Lord of Eternity
"To be honest, I don’t really want anyone to help this time; this is our branch’s matter. However, since you are willing to come, it is a rare support. Even more rare is that you are a pure human and not practicing necromancy at all." Zoltan looked Karoso up and down.
If it weren’t for the power of the Lord of Eternity that Karoso possessed, Zoltan would have thrown this kid into the gloomy hall long ago and turned him into a skeleton.
Followers of the Lord of Eternity either become obsessed with necromancy and become powerful beings of the undead, or they themselves have already turned into the undead.
Pure humans like Karoso are truly very rare.
But this person is definitely the purest follower of eternal life because he belongs to a higher level of the laws of death.
"Following the path of eternity doesn’t necessarily depend on necromancy," Karoso said with a smile.
"What you said is quite interesting; a guy named Arthas said the same thing." Zoltan stroked his chin.
"Arthas… the Lich King?" Karoso’s expression was a bit strange.
"Lich King? Ha, what a joke." Zoltan looked very disdainful.
Karoso’s heart began to race.
Unexpectedly, the famous Lich King, who swept across the continent with the Undead Scourge, turned out to be a follower of the Lord of Eternity?
At this moment, he should not yet reach the level of the Lich King; he is also one who became a god later on…
"Let’s go, I will show you our base," Zoltan stood up.
Soon, the two began to explore the territory.
The place where the army was stationed was barren, with no signs of life anywhere.
Mindless skeletons and zombies lingered in the cemetery, with skeletons piling up like mountains.
Ghosts floated over the gravestones, greedily feeding on their surroundings.
"These skeletons…" Karoso hesitated, "Can they still be used?"
"Of course, this is just to save space. When the time comes to need them, they will assemble themselves like a tide. Where do you come from that you do not even know this common knowledge?" Zoltan looked at Karoso with a face full of doubt.
"I am a new experiment made by my master; there is no need to tell you this." Karoso glanced at Zoltan. "As for these common knowledge questions, you can communicate with my master through Sacrifice. I believe my master will give you an answer."
Karoso had already become used to throwing the pot onto the god’s head.
Seeing Karoso so arrogant, Zoltan did not say much, but rather believed him even more.
Don’t look at him as a ninth-level; in front of the gods, he is an existence that can be crushed easily.
The Church of the Lord of Eternity has a strict hierarchy. Even if someone is weak, those closer to the gods still have the confidence to be arrogant.
"Well, this area has now been sealed off. It seems that my master is playing an interesting game with a few worthless ones. We must have a winner to be able to hear the master’s voice again," Zoltan said with a devout expression.
Karoso was somewhat speechless.
My master and a few worthless ones? Those few are at least gods, right?
No wonder the Church of the Lord of Eternity is the least liked and is always listed as the top cult.
Showing disrespect to other gods is a serious crime.
When outside, even if those people do not believe in the God of Wisdom, they will still have genuine respect and fear for Neymar, unlike the Church of the Lord of Eternity, where everyone seems unafraid of death.
No, the Church of the Lord of Eternity is mostly made up of the dead.
Later, the two passed by the vampire palace, which was lively, as if the vampires were having a banquet.
As they looked at the tomb, the desolate hall, this was a place where high-ranking soldiers lived.
The strongest were the dragon tombs, where bone dragons could reside.
Karoso then realized that this was not just three wild armies attacking a city; the base of the Church of the Lord of Eternity itself was like a city.
As Karoso walked, the events in the City of Freedom suddenly came to his mind.
"What level do you think these skeletons and zombies can reach?" Karoso asked curiously.
In the City of Freedom, he had seen sixth-tier skeletons.
"It’s not surprising what level they can reach. These vampires, when they first change, are fourth-tier. When they become counts, they are fifth-tier, and when they reach the prince level, they are sixth-tier. Theoretically, this is the limit, but some exceptional ones can go beyond this limit, even some can become eighth-tier heroes. One of my subordinates is a vampire hero," Zoltan casually mentioned.
Karoso’s pupils shrank.
No wonder it’s an eighth-tier dungeon! No wonder it’s from the ancient era!
Truly, seventh-tier is not worth much, while eighth-tiers are everywhere.
The previous report only mentioned three eighth-tier heroes, but it didn’t say if any of these soldiers were between seventh-tier and eighth-tier.
Theoretically, the bone dragon starts at seventh-tier; it only takes a slight breakthrough to reach eighth-tier.
There are also powerful undead that start at sixth-tier; with a bit of evolution, they become seventh-tier. The ultimate corpse demon is eighth-tier, and this evolution doesn’t stop.
Speaking of it, why was the ancient magic so strong, while in the current time, it is very difficult to break through the ninth level…
"Alright, we have finished our stroll, now I have a task for you." Zoltan’s gaze was fixed on Karoso.
"What task?"
"I need you to infiltrate Babington…" Zoltan said with a burning gaze, "Bring me back some information about Babington’s defenses."
"What if I can’t come back?" Karoso raised an eyebrow.
"You are my master’s Dependent. You possess not only my master’s favor, but also an undeniable responsibility." Zoltan placed his hand on Karoso’s shoulder.
"Now that there is going to be a war, how can they let me in?" Karoso looked surprised.
"To defend the city, they are also seeking outside heroes." Zoltan smiled, "As long as you don’t reveal the ‘death’ power, you will be a great warrior, and I believe they won’t suspect you."
"What if they do suspect me?"
Zoltan continued to smile.
Karoso understood that if he was discovered, it would be his own problem.
"Don’t worry, when this matter is finished, I will report to my lord," Zoltan said in a deep voice. "Our Church of the Lord of Eternity is different from other churches; the dead and demons are real. There are no tricks; merits are merits, and failures are failures."
"The more power you want, the greater accomplishments you must achieve."
"Okay." Karoso had no choice but to agree.
Moreover, he didn’t think staying here would help him succeed.
"As for the reward, I don’t need to report to my lord; I want a Certificate of Immortality." Karoso stated his terms.
Zoltan paused for a moment, staring intently at Karoso, "Are you sure?"
"I am sure. I believe my achievements match this reward," Karoso replied.
"Okay." Zoltan showed a small smile, "Come back alive, and even if you die, remember to drift back. I will make you a powerful undead."
