The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Another usage of the Book of the Dead

“You can’t trust him!” The little girl floated upside down in front of Lothar’s head, “That stinky guy is talking nonsense! It’s a piece of shit! Bug! Toad’s dirty son!”

Lothar pushed the little girl away and walked through a swamp: “At least it’s true that Yorick said that Shadow Island used to be Blessed Isle.”

Section 251

“This is indeed true.” The little girl said displeasedly, “Although I think the name Shadow Island sounds better, I’m already used to calling it Fuguang Island.”

“You remember the name of the island, but not your own name”

“Forgetting my name means I’ve been dead long enough!” The little girl puffed up her chest proudly, “Karthus has only been dead for more than ten years, and he hasn’t forgotten his name yet. He envies me, he It is a qualified deceased to say that he has forgotten everything in his life.”

“That lunatic Karthus…it is indeed possible to say such a thing.”

“Ah! You scold him! I want to sue him!”

“whatever.”

Lothar chatted with the little girl without saying a word, and Lothar probably understood the origin of the little girl. If what Yorick said about the history of the Shadow Isles is correct, the little girl should be from the same era as Yorick. In the era when the Shadow Isle was still called the Blessed Isle, he died in the accident that Yorick called “The Curse of Ruin”.

So strictly speaking, the little girl is much older than both Lothar and Karthus, and Lothar also accepted the little girl’s title of “little brother”.

“You met me when I was a child, right?” Lothar tried to extract information about his own life experience from the little girl.

“yes.”

“That’s right, how about me?”

“Small, with a wrinkled face and eyes that can’t be opened.”

“Who is the one who brought me?”

“Karthus.”

“Karthus” Lothar was secretly surprised, “He brought me to Shadow Island?”

The little girl seemed to realize something, and she grinned: “Smelly brother! You’re telling me something!”

Seeing that the little girl had figured it out, Lothar could only give up the routine and let the little girl gnaw and bite her head.

Lothar floated up and flew over the dry thorn forest in front of him.

“It seems that I am getting more and more familiar with the feeling of the spirit body.” Lothar fell back to the ground. Although he could fly in the soul state, it was only within the range of the black mist, and there was no way to break out of the black mist, and Lothar was even worse. I like the down-to-earth feeling.

Walking through the thorn forest, Lothar saw a huge crab appearing in the swamp ahead.

“Oh! It’s the swift crab essence!” The little girl exclaimed happily, “Long time no see! It still has so many legs! Let’s pull out one or two!”

Lothar looked at the big crab in the distance. Its gray-green carapace had a metallic luster, and there was a ghostly green will-o’-the-wisp burning on it.

That’s not the carapace that a crab should have at all, it’s clearly the countless armors piled up on it.

“What’s that?” Lothar estimated the size of the crab. He felt that it was on par with Planck’s big ship Dread.

“Swift Crab Essence, it’s big.” The little girl said proudly.

Lothar has seen many ridiculously large sea beasts in Bilgewater, but this is indeed the first time he has seen such a large crab.

The Book of the Dead in Lothar’s hand suddenly trembled.

“What’s going on?” Lothar looked at the Book of the Dead in surprise. It had never moved by itself before.

“Oh, it’s recording.” The little girl seemed to know what the Book of the Dead was doing.

“Record what?”

“Oh, Karthus didn’t tell you.” The little girl sat on Lothar’s shoulder, took the book of the dead that had been shaking from his hand, and opened it, “The book of the dead has three volumes, They are [Dictionary], [Mantra Manual] and [Illustrated Book].”

Dictionaries and spellbooks Lothar knows that the first third of the Book of the Dead is an Auchen dictionary, the middle third contains many necromantic spells, and the last third It is blank. Lothar originally thought that one-third of the blank paper was the unfinished part, but it seems that it has another effect.

“Wow, the illustrated book is all white. It seems that Karthus has emptied it.” The little girl opened a page in the Book of the Dead, facing the Swift Crab.

The swift crab spirit sensed something. It turned its huge body and looked towards Lothar.

A magic circle appeared on the page of the Book of the Dead, and a magic spell in Ochen language emerged on it.

“Read it according to it.” The little girl said, “Otherwise the big crab will run away in a while.”

Lothar looked at the incantation and sang out: “Uncommon deaths should become dusty memories, and write down their last words.”

A huge magic circle also appeared on the swift crab essence. The magic circle completely wrapped the swift crab essence, and then disappeared in a dim magic halo, leaving only the swift crab essence standing in place.

The swift crab turned around and continued to do its own thing, as if nothing happened just now.

“What did you do?” Lothar asked.

“Look for yourself.” The little girl threw the Book of the Dead back to Lothar.

Lothar looked at the pages of the book, and was surprised to find several new sentences in Ou Chen’s language appeared on the pages that were originally blank: “What is this?”

“Summoning spell.” The little girl stretched her waist, “by saying this spell, you can summon the big crab anytime, anywhere, you can order it whatever you want, and it won’t resist you, but it can only be seen in the black mist.” Just summon it.”

“This isThe power of [Illustrated Book]” Lothar was very surprised, “Can anything be summoned with a summoning spell? ”

“Of course not.” The little girl poured cold water on Lothar, “Of course the Book of the Dead can only summon the dead, and the Book of the Dead has a very high vision. [Illustrated Book] can only record the extraordinary undead, it is weak I don’t like it, I won’t waste the pages of the book, so I can’t find a cute undead puppy as a pet, it’s a pity.”

“The powerful undead… that Karsa…”

“Don’t think about it.” The little girl directly dispelled Lothar’s idea of ​​using a summoning spell on someone, “Although the Book of the Dead only accepts powerful undead, the stronger and smarter the undead, the more they will resist. The crab is so easy just because it’s stupid. Karthus knows almost all necromantic magic, summoning spells he can counter at will, didn’t you react to Karthus when you didn’t see the book of the dead in your hands? Because it Know it can’t hold him.”

“This way…” Although he felt a little pity, Lothar still felt like a treasure. He thought that the Book of the Dead was just a dictionary and magic book that recorded the Ou Chen language, but he didn’t expect to have this ability.

“No wonder the greedy market calls it a secret treasure. Sure enough… such an ability, it’s not an exaggeration to call it a divine weapon…” Lothar recalled the auction, “The other two secret treasures…”

The secret treasure of [The Ruined King] is in the hands of Planck, and Lothar does not know what it is, but the secret treasure of [Ascension Queen] is held by Syndra. If the secret treasure of [Iron Armor Wraith] Book] has such a powerful ability, then the other two secret treasures auctioned together with it should not be bad.

“But that thing…” Lothar really couldn’t think of the secret treasure of [Ascended Queen], what function the dildo could play, “If the function of the book is to record, then that thing should also be able to play its original role… …”

Lothar shivered. He didn’t want to think about how to use that thing. Even if Syndra figured out how to use it, Lothar felt that he should stop her.

Lothar passed by the swift crab spirit and walked in to see that the crab was bigger than he expected, and he had to look up to see the whole picture, but just like the little girl said, the swift crab spirit did not attack them, even after they When passing by, he took the initiative to step forward with the crab legs to make way for them.

“Since the Book of the Dead can sign a summoning spell with the dead…” Lothar suddenly had an idea, and he asked the little girl, “Are you strong?”

The little girl saw through Lothar’s thoughts at once. She kicked Lothar’s face and attacked wildly with her bare feet: “Don’t even think about it! Sister, I’m super weak! The Book of the Dead doesn’t like it! You bad Brother! Smelly brother! How dare you covet sister!”

The two quarreled and headed for their destination.

The noise of the two of them is an extremely rare sound of joy in the entire Shadow Isle, adding a bit of color to this world where there is only silence and wailing.
