The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 218: The greatest betrayal

The deep, echoing voice of the Skeleton Lord is long and profound.

In a trance, Longjing Tea seemed to have seen some kind of hallucination...

The shape of his ancient and rusty armor looks so consistent with the surrounding tombs, and the style is so unified. It was as if He should have been here—in the tomb of this ancient dynasty that had disappeared for nearly a thousand years.

His voice did not seem to come from in front of everyone.

It's like standing in the lost past and chanting softly to everyone in the future.

——At this moment, Annan was watching all this through the eyes of Longjing Tea.

Unsurprisingly, traces of being affected by sacred objects appeared on his body - but the players could not see it.

[You have received a new mark "Low-Level Influence: Ancient Whispers"]

[If it is not removed in time, you will fall into a random nightmare with the keyword "moth" in seven days (difficulty: difficult)]

...[Ancient Whispers].

Annan frowned slightly.

This is an influence that is not of high rank and is not commonly used in rituals, but is somewhat cherished - because it is not easy to obtain.

This influence is obtained by an old man who is "more than twice his maximum lifespan" and tells "a secret that happened before the listener was born and has not yet been understood".

In other words, it requires an ancient transcendent or ritualist who has used many life-renewal rituals and has completely exhausted twice his original lifespan to trigger it.

This is not the influence of the fields of "skeletons" and "betrayal" controlled by the Skeleton Lord.

But just because of His age...

Since Annan can also gain influence, it means that even Annan does not understand the secret that Lord Skeleton is about to reveal.

He concentrated his attention and listened to the secrets told underground nearly two thousand kilometers away——

I saw Mr. Skeleton walking alone in front, reaching out to touch a tomb on the roadside from time to time. Even if these tombs do not bear the names of the "residents" buried here, it does not prevent the skeletons from being recognized as their identities.

Longjing Cha and his two companions walked side by side with their hands lit up, so nervous that they looked at each other from time to time to confirm that the people around them were indeed still there. It seemed as if they would suddenly disappear in the next second.

The extremely weak light burned quietly in the completely dark underground... while the Skeleton Man's cloak in front cast an invisible shadow.

At a glance, all you can see are huge stone pillars and stone tombs the size of a garage.

Nothing else.

The players are all extraordinary, and even a certain player is a ghost himself - they are not afraid of ghosts.

But the ancient, dead history itself creates a huge sense of oppression.

So much so that the players didn’t even dare to say a word.

They didn't even chat privately on their friends' pages, and they didn't even think of starting the live broadcast... they just held their breath, tried to walk as lightly as possible, and followed the Skeleton Man quietly.

Suddenly, without any warning - the Skeleton Master stopped.

Because His stature is so tall that it completely blocks the road ahead. For a moment, Longjing Tea couldn't see what was in front of Mr. Bones.

But Dove saw it.

She reacted immediately, sent a screenshot of it to the forum, and immediately started the live broadcast.

Because she realized in an instant that the situation in front of her might be important enough to be recorded——

It was a tomb that looked no different from the surrounding "garages".

But what's special about it is... there is a stone statue standing in front of it.

This is the first and only thing "beyond the tomb" that Dove has seen——

The stone statue is not high, even with the half-meter-high base, it is less than two meters. Because the person carved in the stone statue itself is quite short.

That was an old woman with a kind face, a compassionate smile, a thin and short figure, a slight bow, and squinted eyes. Her appearance is quite ordinary, her face is full of wrinkles, like an old woman with a good temper who gives out sweets to her children.

But even the Skeleton King must bow his head to her.

——Then her identity is self-evident.

This old lady, whose appearance and figure are the closest to ordinary people and has nothing special at all, is the head of the Twelve Righteous Gods.

She is the **** believed in by the Principality of Funeral Song, the "Bone Picker", "The Invisible God of the Living", "The Silent God", "The Mother of Embers and Coal", the God of Death and the Earth ——She is also commonly known as the Bone Burial Granny.

The Bone Burial Granny is the protector of all those who have not been buried... She will gently bury all the corpses that died in the earth and rebury them. Only the dying can see her figure.

At the same time, the mother-in-law is also the **** who least likes to respond to high-level rituals... Except for the requiem ceremony and the bone burial ceremony, it is difficult to get a response from almost all the rituals related to the bone burial of the mother-in-law.

Her silent character is comparable to that of Lady Silence.

This is understood by ritualists as "the stability of the earth" and "the irreversibility of death." Because "the earth and the dead are silent."

However, although the mother-in-law is very silent, compared with the righteous gods such as the Red Knight, the old grandmother, and the Sui Father, the mother-in-law is actually one of the better tempered ones - probably on the same level as the Cup Girl and Miss Good Luck. , almost never seen angry.

In other words, in the history since the Third Age, the mother-in-law has never been angry. In her two-thousand-year history, she has not taken the initiative to attack any mortal or extraordinary person... Even the extremely rare "death-offenders" she usually ignores.

Especially after the Bell Ringer was born, she cared less about those "resurrected from the dead".

So much so that when ritual masters prepare rituals, they usually do not consider the bone-burying mother-in-law among the "ingredients to prevent offending a certain god".

——When people ask for power in areas such as fire and light, war and veto, they will pay great attention to whether their rituals are arranged correctly and whether there are any materials in the ritual that violate taboos.

For example, Sui Fu hates water - whether it is in a cup, a well, a swamp or on his body.

So after calling on the power of Father Sui, he will always dry the ritual performer... But if the ceremony is too humid (for example, if the ceremony is held in a swamp), then not only will it be impossible Borrowing Sui Fu's power may lead to Sui Fu's attack.

Mr. Yao will have requirements for the nature of the ritual performer. Because He is the God of Purification, if the ritualist is mentally disordered, entangled in distracting thoughts and evil thoughts, the remaining influence when He leaves will be naturally eliminated.

But on the other hand, if the ritualist is truly evil and unrepentant - then the power of light will directly burn him to death.

The ceremony of burying the bones of the mother-in-law is very simple.

Strictly speaking, the bone burial ceremony used by Delicious Wind Goose with the assistance of wandering children did not even place the sacrifices properly, and the ceremony site was dug out instantly using extraordinary abilities. It was not solemn or solemn at all. serious.

But they still borrowed the power, and they didn't discount it at all.

Longjing Tea thought ~IndoMTL.com~ If the bone-burying mother-in-law was not such a good-tempered person.

Then the Bone Lord's act of worshiping in front of her might cause a spirit to appear and start a fight with him on the spot...

——Yes, Skeleton Justice worships in front of the statue of the Bone Burying Granny.

And the process is quite formal.

I saw Mr. Bones kneeling on one knee in front of the Bone Burial Granny.

His left hand drooped straight down, meaning to pay tribute to the earth; and he lightly touched his forehead, eyes, ears, lips with his right hand, and then pressed it on his heart.

This understanding means to swear not to think, not to see, not to hear, not to speak, not to live - these are the five principles of the dead.

If the deceased violates any of the rules, he will be judged as abnormal.

As for Mr. Bones, he is undoubtedly an anomaly among anomalies.

Look, the corpse is talking...

"People will eventually face death."

Mr. Bones said calmly in front of the statue of Bone Burying Granny.

Although he didn't look back or name anyone.

But Longjing Tea still reacted immediately - He was talking to himself.

So he boldly asked: "Then you..."

"——Therefore."

The Bone Man made a low, hoarse and old voice.

"Resistance to death is the greatest betrayal a person can do."
