I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 855

It took a whole day for Danif to read the ancient book carefully. The stories recorded in it were much crueler than the fairy tale itself.

The birth of the Immortal City was not people's remembrance and expectation of a better life, but simply the greed of high-ranking people for power and interests.

Like the kings of many countries, after they became powerful, they began to desire immortality, but they would not be so generous to fight for the right to immortality for everyone.

Unlike the gods in fairy tales who are particularly easy to talk to, the real gods are quite greedy. It is impossible to ask them to help without paying some price.

And what this god who controls death desires can be said to be quite old-fashioned, and a large number of sacrifices are needed to satisfy his purpose.

So the future king of the Immortal City made an extremely beastly choice and offered most of the people in his country as sacrifices to the gods in exchange for the right to immortality.

However, the god Sherlock was more cunning than expected. He did not fully fulfill his promise. After receiving a large number of sacrifices and gaining a lot of energy, he directly stepped into a higher realm and turned the king who offered him as a sacrifice into a special kind of undead.

In a sense, he did fulfill his promise and gave the other party the ability to be immortal, but he just became an undead, with a little price.

And those ordinary people who became sacrifices also became immortal under the power of the gods and were bound to the Undead City forever.

The breath of death could not spread, and the breath of the living in the city became less and less. The breath of death spread throughout the city, and soon it became a city of the undead.

The so-called Undead City is actually just a stronghold of the undead. After all, these monsters resurrected from death are not really dead at all.

Except for purifying and transcending them with holy light, they will wander in this city forever.

As the paradise of the undead, the ever-spreading death breath of the Undead City troubled the surrounding countries. After everyone gathered together for a brief discussion, they sent heroes to attack the Undead City and completely destroy the city.

But the city lord of the Undead City, a special undead transformed by the power of the gods, was more powerful than imagined. He was deeply bound to the Undead City and became an existence that was neither alive nor dead in a sense.

Ordinary means had no way to defeat him. Even the power of holy light could hardly purify him. After all, the city could provide him with endless death breath.

In the end, the surrounding countries had no choice but to gather the court magicians of various countries together and seal the Undead City under the earth with a powerful seal, so that the monsters in the city could not come out to harm others.

"...And the location of the seal is nearby?"

Danifu covered her forehead with a headache. According to the records in the book, the location where the Undead City used to be located seemed to be on this land.

According to the location of the Demon King's army, the Undead City is probably under their camp. As for where the entrance is, it is hard to say. No one knows whether the ancient sealing technique is still effective.

But the only thing we know is that the reason why the Demon King's army can summon the Undead continuously is probably because they borrowed the power of the Undead City.

And they are so persistent in stationing there, probably because there is something in the Undead City that they desire.

Thinking of this, Danif asked someone to find Elaina. It is obvious how to crush the ambition of the Demon King's army. If they can find the Undead City and take out the things in the city before them, the Demon King's army will definitely feel uncomfortable like eating excrement.

If possible, see if you can destroy the Undead City and cut off the source of the endless breath of death. The Demon King's army will not be able to continue to summon new Undead soldiers. At that time, you can blow the horn of victory.

"Is this reliable?"

Elena, who had rushed over after hearing the news, looked at the ancient book in Danif's hand with a frown on her face, looking unacceptable.

This Undying City is a thing in legend, and it is far away from reality. After being washed by the river of time, can this Undying City really be immortal as the legend says?

There are too many uncertainties. Besides, we don't even know the entrance. Just blindly searching like a headless fly.

"Then what else can you do? The only solution is here, or do you want to face the endless stream of undead head-on?"

Danif shrugged and said helplessly, if you don't understandIf the Undying City is eliminated, the Demon King's army will be equivalent to having an unlimited army. Even if they are all small fry, it would be enough to chop people's hands to exhaustion.

Sometimes you need to take risks. Danif is the one who dares to take risks. The reason why she can reach this position today is inseparable from her several risky decisions.

"Okay, how do you want to go?"

Elena also thought it made sense after hearing this. He could not think of any better way and could only follow Danif's advice.

Undying City, right? Elena was actually quite curious about this legendary city. He wanted to see if the undead in it were really as invincible as the rumors said, and whether they could really withstand the power of holy light and remain immortal.

"The number of people cannot be too large. At most, we can form a small team to explore. The location is too close to the Demon King's camp. If we bring too many people, the target will appear too big. It will be difficult for us to escape if we are discovered."

This operation is destined to be a small-scale operation. We will form a moderate assault team and slowly explore in places where the Demon King's army cannot see us. We will try our luck to find the entrance to the Undead City and explore before the Demon King's army.

"I understand what you mean. I should send all my people. See who else you want to take with you."

Irena nodded. The number of people on his side is moderate. No matter who is left behind, it is not appropriate. Naturally, everyone will set off at that time.

It depends on who Danif wants to take over, but Irena thinks that most of the young officers will not be chosen. Although they have some strength, to be honest, they are not very reliable at critical moments.

"As for me... forget it, I'll go myself. I'll take Fili with me and we'll just go."

Danifu opened her mouth and hesitated for a while, but finally decided to go herself. After all, she had been tricked by those young people before, so she had to go herself no matter what. Only in this way could she feel at ease.
