Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Chapter 718: Chapter 410: They actually have wisdom? _2
 

Negris looked at the ground and said, “Yellow Desert, loose structure, lack of water, sparse vegetation. This desert can’t support many lives.”

He then looked up at the sky and saw a gigantic artificial object hanging in the ether, “Is that the Endless Star Power Star Burst Array? Made by magicians? Let’s go. We should find Albert and ask him what kind of magician.”

“By the way, you hold me in your hand, don’t say anything later. I will do the talking, you just cooperate with opening and closing your mouth.” Negris instructed.

“Okay.” Ange quickly agreed. Great, he doesn’t have to think for himself.

They headed towards the cave. Just as they reached the entrance, Albert snuck out, clutching something tightly to his chest, creating a bulge.

Bumping into Ange, Albert’s face turned ghostly pale in an instant, his legs gave way, and he knelt: “I… I… I brought some gifts to honor you.”

“Oh? Even corrupt and bribes? Didn’t you say he only cares about greed?” Negris asked softly.Ange tilted his head in confusion.

Upon reaching Albert, he had already lifted the items from his bosom above his head. All were gold ornaments without magic wave, their only use could be to sell for money.

Negris released a majestic voice: “What are you doing with these things?”

Albert shook and wailed: “No… no bread left, I’m hungry, I… I wanted to exchange some for bread.”

Negris roared, and he confessed everything, not daring to spin any tale of paying tribute.

Perhaps to enhance the persuasiveness, his stomach grumbled.

Even though he had previously asked Ange, the dire straits that the Church of Light was in exceeded Negris’s imagination.

The Tomb Guardian of the Stone Chamber Sacred Tomb is so poor that he has to steal sacrificial ornaments for sale for mere bread?

But these gold ornaments weigh at least hundreds of grams, right? How much bread can it buy?

Thinking of this, Negris said: “Take me to buy bread. If you truly did this just for bread, then I, on behalf of the Lord, forgive you.”

Albert’s eyes brightened, he scrambled up. He thought he was doomed. Captured twice, yet the Lord Holy Spirit spared him?

The entrance of the cave faced the east, but the direction Albert lead was to the west. It was still the desolate desert, but with more low shrubs.

Along the way, Negris took the opportunity to ask, “Albert, that thing in the sky, you said it was built by magicians, what kind of magician?”

“Sir, it’s a general term for Alchemists, Elemental Sorcerers, Magic Potion Sorcerers, Void Sorcerers, and so on.” Albert replied.

And so on? The system seems to be quite extensive.

“What about the church? Why has it become like this? They can’t even give you the money to buy bread?” Negris asked.

Mentioning this, Albert looked sad, sighing, “Yes, the church has been declining year after year. Fewer people believe, fewer people give offerings; everyone has gone to believe in the Undead God. As for the specifics, I don’t know. I was chosen as a Tomb Guardian since childhood, guarding this secret stone chamber tomb and have never left the Yellow Desert.”@@novelbin@@

Walking and chatting along the way, Negris obtained much information from Albert.

The strongest force in this plane is the Undead Empire, established over a thousand years ago. There was no Undead Empire more than a thousand years ago, the strongest back then were the Sorcerer Alliance and the Church of Light.

The Church of Light is a force established by devout believers who believe in Light, and the Sorcerer Alliance is established by atheists. Both sides confronted each other, neither giving in.

Until one day, the magicians invented the Starburst Array, and all the gods of the Church of Light fell overnight, a brutal war broke out between the Sorcerer Alliance and the Church of Light.

In the war lasting for decades, one day suddenly, dead bodies rose and attacked the Church of Light.

The bodies increased the more they fought, wherever they went, all the dead bodies were resurrected, rushing in all directions like a tidal wave.

The Sorcerer Alliance was stunned. They had never seen organized corpses that could move. This was against their worldview.

But the reaction of the Church of Light was very swift. It was as if they knew what these things were and made a quick response. All skeletons must have their heads chopped off, and all zombies’ hearts must be smashed. Divine Light Magic also had additional damage to the undead.

With the help of city walls and passes, humans held back the onslaught of the undead. Since then, the wilderness became the world of the undead, while cities were overcrowded with humans.

Initially, it seemed that a large number of humans would starve to death that way. The crowded cities could not support too many people. But unexpectedly, a few days later, people approached from outside the city. They were people who failed to escape into the city in time.

They were carefully pulled up the city wall. From their mouths, everyone received shocking news: the Undead did not attack ordinary people.

Some daring people went out to test this and found it to be true. The Undead did not attack ordinary people. Jn the day, they dug holes and hibernated in dry places and roamed at night. If one did not run around outside the city at night, they would not even encounter them.

Occasionally when people were digging holes, they would accidentally disturb them; the skeletons would just stare at you with two hollow eyes, then impatiently scrape the earth around, and bury themselves again.
