Endless Game: Get the Necromancer Career at the Start

"Can."

Ashes girl also had no reason to reject this pilgrim who volunteered to be a follower.

"...Oh, thank you very much for granting my request."

Yuel said firmly in a hoarse voice: "You have given me the last duty of the lucky one...I, Yuel of Londor, am determined to be your follower."

After finishing speaking, Ashes took out a returned bone fragment from his bosom and handed it to Yuel, asking him to use this item to go to the fire-passing sacrificial field.

When Yuel crushed the bone fragments and disappeared.

Lin Chu told Ashes: "If that guy wants to draw out some real power for you, I suggest you think carefully about it. It's a path that deviates from the right path, and free power also has its hidden price."

Uel of Londor will attempt to lead the Ashes to usurp the First Fire, taking it back from the hands of the gods to humans.

It doesn't matter whether we usurp fire or not.

The problem is that Yuel will ask Ashes to be turned into a living corpse and become the king of wandering souls, which Lin Chu does not want to see.

He was indifferent to being turned into a corpse.

Besides, he is more inclined to extinguish the fire than the end of the fire transmission and the fire, so that the mission of the fire transmission can completely cut off the restraint and curse on the world.

Ashes nodded: "I will refer to your suggestion."

All Lin Chu could do was to offer advice, Ashes didn't trust him enough to trust him completely.

The two returned to the gate of Undead Street along the broken bridge.

The city gate was closed again at some unknown time.

Inside the city gate is the settlement of the undead.

Listening to the name, some people may think that the undead settlement is a place where undead people gather...

But in fact, this village is specially responsible for dealing with the undead.

The real residents of the settlement are not the undead, but the staff responsible for dealing with the undead.

There is a popular superstition in the world of fire.

There is a sacred tree in the undead settlement that can lift the curse of the immortality of the living corpses, so many living corpses flock here, eager to lift the curse on themselves, and truly die to gain peace.

But in fact, the sacred tree couldn't lift any curse at all, it was just a false rumor, but because a large number of undead gathered, it polluted the sacred tree, causing it to become a cursed monster.

The original residents of the undead settlement believed in this sacred tree, and thus hated the undead who brought the curse.

Therefore, these residents have gradually changed from dealing with living corpses to cruelly killing living corpses. Even if they themselves have become living corpses, they are still killing other living corpses to vent their anger.

Opening the door just now and letting dogs kill living corpses is a kind of cruel killing called dog punishment.

Enter the city gate.

In this dilapidated small village, cruel instruments of torture and corpses can be seen everywhere.

Wheels, iron cages, dismembered, hanged corpses...

Wheel punishment is a medieval punishment, very cruel, and an evolved version of crucifixion.

It is said that in the Roman period, the method of torturing death row prisoners was the cross. People were nailed to the cross. Due to the effect of gravity, people would fall down, which would speed up the death process. Generally, the victims would die within a day or two.

Wheel punishment is even more cruel.

Nail people on wheels, hang them high, and let the prisoners die slowly in pain, thirst, and hunger. The death process will last for a week, or even longer...

Iron cage punishment was also a punishment in the medieval period.

Put the victim in a cage and hang it in the air. The iron cage is generally long and people cannot lie down. The victim will slowly starve to death in pain.

Hanging upside down is similar, usually blindfolded, people are tortured in pain and fear, and it will be fatal after a long time.

"It's really a small village with simple folk customs."

Lin Chu looked up at the hanging corpses hanging above his head, the corners of his mouth twitched.

I'm not undead or a living corpse, so these workers shouldn't attack me, right?

However, it does not rule out the possibility that they will attack everyone if they are red-eyed.

After all, the residents of the undead settlement have all been turned into living corpses. Who knows if they still retain their sanity?

"Only by spreading fire can we save all this."

Ashes looked around at this absurd scene, and sighed to herself.

Speaking of this, I have to mention part of the world view of the world of fire.

The human beings in this world are not pure natural creatures like in the real world, but the human nature from the abyss, which was transformed and disguised after being affected by the first fire. (Human nature comes from the abyss, very real)

The appearance of human beings is just the shell evolved by human nature in response to the first fire.

This shell has two effects:

1. Human beings have reason and will, and will not be in a mess like the creatures of the abyss.

2. Human beings began to yearn for the light, or in other words, human beings began to pretend that they yearned for the light (some even pretended to believe it).

Once the first fire recedes or the surrounding abyss is powerful.

Human nature will expand, break through the shell, and human beings will degenerate into monsters of the abyss.

At the same time, Chuhuo endowed all things with the concept of life and death, so human beings also had death.

As the saying goes, there is life and there is death, and life and death are inherently one.

The god Gwen, who created the age of fire in this world, worried that human beings would one day degenerate into creatures of the abyss, causing the abyss to flood, so he added something called the ring of darkness to humans.

The ability of the ring of darkness is to open a hole in the shell of human beings, and the expanded humanity will flow through this hole, so as to prevent human beings from degenerating into monsters of the abyss, but at the cost of continuous loss of humanity and sanity.

When the fire receded, the boundary between life and death disappeared, and human beings also lost their death and became undead.

As the inflated human nature completely flowed out after repeated deaths, human beings were left with only a shell, and the undead eventually turned into irrational living corpses.

Therefore.

People in this world are so obsessed with spreading fire.

Ashes also sees spreading fire as the only way to save the world.

"But have you ever thought that sooner or later the firewood will burn out, and the fire will eventually go out?"

Lin Chu accepted the words with a shrug.

He began to try to guide Ashes to the fire ending.

"I thought about it."

Ashes pondered: "But even if the fire will eventually go out, before that, I will do my best to make it burn... This is my mission, and the only thing I can do."

Lin Chudao: "What's the point of this? The fire will go out sooner or later."

"People are going to die sooner or later, aren't you still trying to live?"

Hui Hui's rhetorical question choked Lin Chu.

"You outsiders don't understand what a mission is, let alone how unshakable the mission is to us undead."

Chuhuo endows all things with the concept of life and death. It can also be said that Chuhuo is life and death itself.

Burning fire means life, and extinguishing fire means death.

Even the undead have a heart that lives toward death.

"But have you ever thought that after the fire goes out, it doesn't mean everything is over, but it will be another new life in this world?"

Lin Chu said so.

Does extinguishing the first fire necessarily mean the extinction of the world of fire?

No one can know.

People are just afraid of the unknown and just unwilling to change.

After hearing Lin Chu's words, Ashes fell silent and did not reply.

Perhaps this conversation also quietly planted a seed in her heart...

Think about whether it is worth spreading the fire, and think about the new era after the fire is extinguished.
