Upon hearing Wolf's words, Han Shuo's emotions surged uncontrollably. The Church of Calamity must have some information about the Cemetery of Death. What Wolf had just said was probably true.
The centre of the first layer in the Cemetery of Death was indeed an ancient magic transportation array. It was through this ancient magical transportation array that Han Shuo could travel anywhere without restriction. When he heard Wolf say that the Transportation Array could also connect between planes, Han Shuo was indescribably astonished.
Ordinary magic transporters within the continent usually had a distance limit. For example, the transportation arrays between the major cities in the Lancelot Empire could only cover a few hundred kilometres. No one had ever heard of a transportation array that could cover a distance of several thousand kilometres.
The farther the limit of the transportation array, the higher the requirements. Apart from the understanding of the person setting up the array, a great deal of effort had to be put into obtaining materials and finding a favourable location. A Space Sacred Magus could only build a transportation array with a maximum distance of two thousand to two and a half thousand kilometres.
However, the large transportation array in the centre of the Cemetery of Death could, according to Wolf, transport across planes. For Han Shuo, this was extremely inconceivable. When Wolf mentioned that the Cemetery of Death was a structure from another plane, Han Shuo felt even more dizzy.
Seeing Han Shuo's shocked expression, Wolf continued, "Of course, the Sacred Land also has another saying. It is said that the Transportation Array can be moved and that it is similar to a Magic Tower and is self-sufficient in attack and defence. These were all legends passed down within the Church, but I think they are trustworthy.
"As for the skeletal staff in your hands, you can see it as the key to the Sacred Land. The tricoloured skulls on the skeletal staff each have a strange power. Firstly, it can multiply the power of a necromancer's spells. I think you are already aware of this power. As for the second strange power, you've already tried it on me. It is the miraculous ability to make a necromancer youthful again. It can be used not only on the necromancer in possession of the skeletal staff, but also on other people.
The final power of the skeletal staff, which I don't know if you've tried, is rumoured to be the ability to open the gates to the netherworld. The user would be able to enter and leave the netherworld with a single thought. This ability is the most unfathomable. It can allow necromancers to familiarise themselves with the netherworld and allow them to reach a higher level of understanding in necromancy.
Each of the tri-coloured skulls contained a different power. However, these three abilities are only theories that have been passed down in the Church of Calamity for a long time. As for whether the Skeletal Staff has more secrets, I can't say. What I have just told you is all I know."
Han Shuo had seen all three special abilities of the tri-coloured skeletal staff. Therefore, he believed Wolf without a doubt. Increasing the power of magic, restoring one's youth, and voluntarily entering the netherworld with one's soul. Han Shuo had experienced all three of these abilities, but apart from the first ability to increase the power of his spells, Han Shuo simply did not understand the other two mystical abilities.
In particular, Han Shuo knew nothing about the secrets of the last ability. The two times he had entered the underworld, he had inexplicably entered and exited. It was absolutely not like Wolf described, going back and forth with just a thought. It didn't seem to be caused by the skeletal staff, but rather by the fact that Han Shuo hadn't really grasped the key to using the skeletal staff.
According to Wolf, once Han Shuo truly controlled the power of the skeleton staff, he would truly be able to go back and forth with a single thought, meet the little skeleton and the various zombies in the netherworld, easily investigate the unknown secrets of the netherworld, and clarify whether the Cemetery of Death was indeed an unusual structure from the netherworld as Wolf had described.
"I have come here on the orders of my superiors to tell you some secrets about the Skeletal Staff and the Sacred Land. I believe that once you know these things, you should have a direction for exploration. Hehehe. The Church of Calamity will be your strong support. You who wield the skeletal staff are an important part of our Calamity Church. You can deny it, but our core members have already acknowledged it. Wolf smiled as he explained to Han Shuo, who was currently deep in thought.
Han Shuo's thoughts were interrupted by Wolf. Soon after, he glanced at Wolf and said, "What you are acknowledging should be the Skeleton Staff and the Cemetery of Death, right?"
"They are all the same. The role of the Skeletal Staff in our Calamity Church is extremely important. Once you've truly grasped all the uses of the Skeletal Staff, there will be superiors who will personally come to find you." Wolf replied without directly answering Han Shuo's question.
"The Skeletal Staff is of great use to the Church of Calamity? Is it mainly because of the last two abilities?" Han Shuo hesitated for a while before asking the question.
Wolf stared blankly and thought for a while before nodding as he replied, "You could say that. I don't know the exact circumstances, but I do know that the Church of Calamity has some very powerful beings. However, due to their age, their bodies have become extremely weak. Some of them are even reaching the end of their lives. If the Skeletal Staff can restore their youth, these incomparable existences would make the Church of Light tremble.
"And you are a person who can give them renewed physical strength and allow them to live longer. Therefore, your importance to the Church of Calamity is self-evident. More importantly, only you can open the Sacred Land. In the future, the secrets of the Sacred Land will also have to be revealed by you.
These words were probably not what his superiors had instructed him to say and were simply Wolf taking the initiative to show goodwill. So he paused before adding another sentence, "Bryan, these are my own words. I hope they give you a good impression of me. I'll be inwardly grateful."
Han Shuo was still reeling from the shock of Wolf's words. He nodded when he heard what Wolf said, but made no promises.
"Well then, it's getting quite late. I will leave now." After Wolf had finished speaking, he respectfully handed Han Shuo a card and said, "This contains the way to contact me. If you need my or our strength, you can always seek me out. We will spare no effort to help you."
Han Shuo received the card in passing as he nodded apathetically again. His mind was filled with the details of the Cemetery of Death and the skeleton staff. Han Shuo had been extremely shocked when he heard about these things from Wolf, so he wanted to understand the main points quickly.
Han Shuo had always known that the Cemetery of Death contained many secrets. However, he hadn't been able to decipher its true secrets even though he had been in the Cemetery of Death for quite some time. However, Wolf's sharing had given Han Shuo a direction to explore, allowing Han Shuo to realise the aspects of the Cemetery of Death that were most attractive.
"Perhaps I should enter a deeper level in the Cemetery of Death to explore. Maybe the next level will have the answers I need!" Han Shuo silently assessed the situation and made a decision.
While Han Shuo was quietly pondering, the Grand Magus Necromancer Wolf had already silently left. Han Shuo raised his head to look outside and noticed that the full moon in the sky was beginning to fade. Without his knowledge, the night had almost passed.
Han Shuo thought for a while. His curiosity about the secrets of the Cemetery of Death and the skeleton staff was growing. With the magical transport array leading directly to the Cemetery of Death, travelling back and forth was extremely convenient. Since there didn't seem to be anything important tomorrow, Han Shuo immediately went to the secret chamber and activated the transportation matrix.
As soon as Han Shuo arrived at the Cemetery of Death, even before Han Shuo could uncover the secrets within the Cemetery of Death, the connection between the Dark Dragon Gilbert and himself was immediately established.
The distance between Ossen City of the Lancelot Empire and the Valley of Sunshine was too great. Even though Han Shuo and Gilbert had the power of the contract between them, it only allowed Han Shuo to tell if Gilbert was dead and couldn't sense his location or thoughts.
However, the Dark Forest was very close to the Valley of Sunshine. Since both Han Shuo's and Gilbert's strength had increased significantly, the connection between them had become clearer. As soon as Han Shuo connected with Gilbert, he immediately sensed that Gilbert was eager to meet him.
Han Shuo, who had originally planned to explore the secrets of the Cemetery of Death, recognised Gilbert's urgency. He had no choice but to temporarily shelve his plan to immediately investigate the Cemetery of Death. He hurriedly left the Death Cemetery and rushed towards the Valley of Sunshine.
On the way, Han Shuo unleashed the Demonic Ninth Heaven Art. Without wasting too much time, he arrived at the cliff in the Valley of Sunshine where the Soul Destroyer mercenary group was hiding. Gilbert had already felt Han Shuo's aura and had been waiting at the bottom of the cliff for a long time.
Next to Gilbert was a flirtatious and attractive woman. The woman had a well-developed body and a beautiful appearance. Her sepia-coloured hair was woven into nine small braids that cascaded down her shoulders, making her look beautiful and mature, with a unique flavour.
When Han Shuo landed, the woman was obviously a little scared and unconsciously moved closer to Gilbert. Gilbert casually hugged the charming woman and explained to Han Shuo, "This is Lania. She was subdued by me in the Dark Forest. You've seen her before!"
Hydra! Han Shuo stared blankly but soon understood. He couldn't help but look again. Lania bowed politely to Han Shuo and said softly, "Master!"
Han Shuo didn't question the Hydra, Lania, any further and just nodded towards her. Then he frowned and asked Gilbert, "What happened that made you so anxious for me to come?"
"Trunks is missing. There's no sign of him anywhere in the Valley of Sunshine!" Gilbert said worriedly.
