Who Do You Think Has My Back?

The trio whispered to 009 for a long time, and no one knew what they were saying, but in the end, the woman came to 009.

"Mister... can you understand me?"

009 looked surprised upon hearing this. He heard a language he had never heard before, but he could clearly understand what the other person was saying.

"What language are you speaking? How did I understand you?"

The woman pointed to her ears and mouth. She was a half-elf, with black hair but emerald green eyes.

"Elves are friends of all things, and their language is a primordial language that can be understood by any creature or race."

"And the ears of elves are blessed by the whispers of the wind, and the natural things in the wind will convey to me all the emotions you wish to express, more precisely than pure words."

This is exactly what I need!

009 stood up abruptly and grabbed Jena's hand. "Teach me this language. I'll pay any price. It has to be done quickly. I'm in a real hurry!"

"Hey, why are you holding hands?"

The man carrying the lute quickly pulled Jena back, whispering in her ear, "What did he say? And why are you holding hands?"

Jena was also puzzled. "He said he wanted to learn the language of the elves, but... that's impossible."

"I'm sorry, this is a language we are born with; it can't be learned through study."

009 twisted his neck. "Then I'll have to trouble you. I'll have to ask you to translate for me."

009 was about to snatch the person away when the woman said, "I'm afraid that won't work. There's a recent overgrowth of ghouls in the North. We need to get there and see if we can do anything about it."

Corpse Demon?

Could they be talking about 016?

Thinking of this, 009 suddenly smiled, "That's such a coincidence, I was just planning to go over there too, is it on your way?"

Jena was about to speak, 009 continued:

"It's alright, it's definitely on my way. No matter which way you go, it's on my way."

Forehead...

Jena relayed this information to the two people behind her.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately disagreed; one said he could take him along, while the other said he couldn't.

"How do you know if this guy is a good person or a bad person? What if he's not a good person?"

"You can't judge a good person or a bad person with just a few words."

"Mister Paladin, please be rational. This guy has a full head of white hair and is saying inexplicable things. He doesn't seem like a normal person at all. When faced with someone with such a strange background, can you really say that he is a good person?"

"But you can't be sure he's a bad guy, that's my rule..."

"Please, stop talking about the code of conduct. You're a Forsworn, why do you care about the creed?"

"There's something wrong with what you're saying. The reason I broke my oath was that I had to save two people and save my mother, and I chose to save my mother."

"But that doesn't mean I've abandoned my principles and beliefs."

The man carrying the lute asked in bewilderment, "Even your gods have abandoned you, so why cling to your beliefs?"

"There's no point in saying more. I'll keep an eye on this person."

"Okay, okay, then keep an eye on him. I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong."

"Let's go, let's set off."

Here, 009, now back, sets off with the trio.

Meanwhile, the Frost King in the wasteland also received one of the so-called ancient magical artifacts as part of his reward, as promised.

It was a bracelet inlaid with blue and green gemstones, with a certain light and shadow flowing within them.

The Frost King also sensed the extraordinary nature of this thing.

But he didn't understand magic or the knowledge of this world, so he asked a White Walker to explain it to him.

What are ancient magical artifacts?

"Ancient magical creation, a magical product of excess energy created in the era of wild magic."

"Modern magical artifacts are very sophisticated, but their effects are usually not as strong as those of ancient magical artifacts."

"And the most crucial point is that the creation was made by combining a lost rune with magic."

"It can't be made anymore. There are only about seventy known ancient magical relics on the mainland."

"Of course, there are definitely many more that have not yet been discovered, but judging from the known number, you should be able to sense how rare it is."

Frost King twirled the bracelet in his hand. "Leaving aside its effects and rarity, this thing is at best a collector's item."

"What's the use of just being rare? I want to see results."

The White Walker's lips twitched. He figured that on the entire continent, only the Frost King would dare to say that this thing was useless.

Ancient magical artifacts are already priceless in themselves.

However, the Ancient Relic that the Frost King obtained was indeed not very famous.

That makes sense. They would definitely choose the bad ones to give away, and wouldn't they rather keep the good magical creations for themselves?

"I have seen this bracelet in a book; it should be called Lustrous Jade Bracelet."

"The magic on it can protect the holder from disease."

What's the use of that?

It's no use.

The Frost King immediately lost interest. "That guy named Arias, does he possess any ancient magical artifacts?"

The White Walker thought for a moment, "People say there are four, but it seems there are only three."

"One of Achilles' signature weapons, the Holy Sword Zhan Gang, is said to be made from metal from the heavens."

"It was forged into a sword by a dwarf using a volcanic forge. After it was forged, the sword was sharpened with Dragon Crystal, making it capable of cutting through even Mithril!"

"Later, the sword came into the possession of the first elf, who imbued it with magic and blessings, granting courage and power to whoever wielded it."

"Then, when it passed to its next owner, that person went to challenge the dragon of Dongshan and died at the hands of the dragon."

"The Holy Sword was also taken into the dragon's lair, and it was not until Achilles killed the East Mountain Giant Dragon that he retrieved this lost legendary weapon."

"However, it is said that Achilles also has a small sword, but no one has ever seen it."

"They say that everyone who saw the sword is dead, but that's just hearsay and it might not be true. You don't need to worry."

"The remaining two items are a breastplate and a necklace."

"These two items originally belonged to the church and are both top-tier ancient magical artifacts."

Upon hearing this, the Frost King finally realized what was going on. "So, the person who asked me to cooperate just randomly picked the worst Ancient Relic for me, right?"

"Uh, this..."

"Take it back and have him exchange it for something else."

As he spoke, Frost King threw the bracelet back.

This terrified the White Walker, for he now knew who this person was who wanted to cooperate with the Frost King.

The Styx Elder of the Dark Assembly.

He possessed the most ancient magical artifacts, and this bracelet was one of his many collections.

After learning who the other party was, the White Walkers were afraid of offending them.

After all, he was someone on par with Achilles!

"Your Majesty, the person you are cooperating with is of extraordinary background. Perhaps you should just accept it, lest you offend that person..."

So what if we offend them?

Just last night, the Frost King received a message from another realm!

That's news from my Lord Aus!

Upon receiving this news, the Frost King was extremely excited!

Because Lord Aus did not abandon him, but instead said that he could just stay there and that he had already sent people to support the Frost King!

Of course, backup wasn't the main thing; it was Chen Ye's words that gave Frost King a lot of confidence!

He only said one sentence!

Do you know who's behind me?
