No one knows how long and how deep the Sighing Canyon is. Even the warriors who rushed into the canyon with Cairns that year had never reached the end of the canyon.
Some of the first group of mercenaries and hunting teams who entered the canyon may have actually reached the end of the canyon, but whether any of the people who came twelve years ago survived has become a mystery.
Arthur and others continued to go deeper into this mysterious canyon. Because there were always surprising gains from time to time, no one noticed that the sky was gradually getting brighter.
Because the towering cliffs on both sides blocked the direct sunlight, the bottom of the canyon was also in dimness during the day.
A touch of emerald green on the palm of a withered skeleton attracted Moral's attention. It was a ring on the index finger of the skeleton. After so many years, it can still maintain its emerald color. This ring must be worth a lot of money.
After turning over so many skeletons, Moral had long-lost his fear of these things. He directly grabbed the skeleton's palm and pulled the ring down.
The skeleton's fingers bent, and the ring was stuck at the knuckle and could not be pulled off.
"If you still don't give up your money, I'll break your palm off." Moral muttered and pulled hard, trying to tear off the skeleton's entire arm bone.
Moral pulled hard, but the skeleton's arm didn't fall off, but its head was raised, and its two empty eyes looked at Moral.
"Ah!" Moral screamed again, this time louder and sharper than before.
"Molar, shut up!"
"Molar, can you stop making a fuss?"
Arthur and Gold, who were nearby, cursed almost at the same time, and their eyes turned to look over, but they were instantly shocked!
Moral was sitting on the ground, and a skeleton stood up from the ground, then raised a palm to grab Moral.
Moral was so scared that he completely forgot to dodge and attack.
Arthur, who was closest, threw the meteorite sword in his hand directly. The Falling Star Sword smashed against the skeleton, making a loud noise, and the skeleton, which was only a pile of skeletons, was completely shattered.
Everyone gathered around with a serious look on their faces. It seemed that the canyon was indeed not peaceful.
"It was attacked by skeletons. Maybe there is a dark magician nearby?" Gold said.
"It doesn't look like a dark magician. Dark magicians can only control corpses that have just died and whose brains are intact. They can't control skeletons without brains." Arthur knew more about dark magicians than others because he was with Arnold.
Because of the control of the church, other people had no idea about undead creatures such as skeletons, so naturally they couldn't figure out how skeletons that could actively attack appeared in the canyon.
Qing curiously picked up the pile of smashed skeletons, trying to find the reason from them, but found nothing except the ring that Moral didn't take off.
This ring is also a magic ring, and the emerald green ring face is a second-level green crystal.
Joan waved the ring in front of Moral, "Do you want this?"
"Yes, I paid for it with my life." Moral snatched the ring back.
Arthur stopped the two people who continued to make trouble, "Stop it, let's keep going forward, everyone be careful, don't be too far away from each other, there may be such skeletons that will attack people in the canyon."
As Arthur expected, they encountered the second active skeleton after walking more than a hundred meters forward. No one touched it, and when everyone approached, it stood up from the ground by itself.
Arthur stopped Gold who was about to shoot it, "Alia, 'Light Ball'"
A fist-sized light ball flew out of Alia's hand, hit the skull and turned into countless light spots and dissipated.
The first-level light magic "Light Ball" had almost no lethality, and the skeleton still staggered forward.
"Light magic has no effect on it. This skeleton is not a dead creature." Arthur asked Arya to take action just to verify his guess.
"Molar, let it hit you." Arthur continued to order.
"I won't!" Moral flatly refused.
Gold, who was standing next to Moral, suddenly kicked Moral's butt hard.
Moral, who was caught off guard, staggered forward and bumped into the oncoming skeleton. Moral's huge body fell forward, and smashed the skeleton to pieces as he fell to the ground.
"The movement is slow, the body is fragile, and the attack power is almost zero." Arthur continued to analyze, "If they are intelligent creatures, they can't survive in nature. If they are artificially created, they have no use value."
"They are not dead creatures, nor are they artificially created. Then how did these weak guys come out?" Everyone was confused now.
"Look, I found this." Moral got up from the ground excitedly, holding an exquisite pendant in his hand, which looked like a magic item.
"Where did you find it?"
"On the neck of the skeleton under me, these guys are the money-giving boys!" Moral's face was full of smiles, and the previous fear had long been swept away.
Arthur took the pendant from Moral's hand and looked at it. It was not of high level, but it was a real magic item.
"Show me the magic ring you had before."
"What?" Moral looked at Arthur with a wary look, "We agreed before that whoever picked up the spoils would own it."
Arthur didn't talk nonsense with Moral, and directly grabbed it. It was a low-level magic ring, and Arthur didn't see anything special in it.
After reading it, Arthur threw it back to Moral, who was looking at him eagerly.
The people who didn't find the reason could only continue to go deeper into the canyon.
Not far away, the third skeleton appeared again. This time, Moral was the first to rush up, even forgetting that he was a magician, and he directly knocked the skeleton to the ground with a collision.
When Moral stood up from the ground, he was holding a magic token in his hand, and he shouted excitedly: "What am I talking about? These skeletons are the boys who bring wealth!"
Looking at the magic token in Moral's hand, a flash of inspiration flashed in Arthur's mind, "I know what these skeletons are about!"
The central military tent of the Frost Thunder Legion.
At this time, only Grand Duke Palmer and Dino were left in the tent. It was rare for the two to sit down and drink tea together.
Grand Duke Palmer took the teapot and filled his own teacup first, and then filled Dino's cup, "You have worked hard recently."
"The Grand Duke treats Dino as a family member, so I will naturally repay the Palmer family sincerely." Dino said respectfully.
"There are no outsiders here. I am not the Grand Duke nor the Legion Commander. You and Gloria are my children in my eyes."
"Yes, father." Dino immediately changed the name.
"Tomorrow you will have to work hard on one thing. You will coordinate the handover between the Left Army and the Knights of Light for me." The Grand Duke said casually.
Dino was stunned, but immediately pretended to be indifferent, "Is it so urgent? There are too many things that need to be handed over on the Left Army side. I think it is not a bad idea to change the guard two days later."
"It doesn't matter to our legion, but the Knights of Light are anxious. Archbishop Solis should have specifically told Vans about the Sighing Valley."
Dino said lightly, but his mind was spinning rapidly. He wanted to delay the change of guard for another two days.
The Grand Duke did not notice Dino's abnormality and continued, "The Sighing Valley is a minefield. It is better to hand it over earlier. The Knights of Light will take over the task of guarding, and we can also put all the legion's forces into the war with the orcs."
Dino was still stunned and did not react.
This time, the Grand Duke finally noticed something was wrong with Dino. "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Dino hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "No problem."
