598 Undead

I could not start to fathom the sheer dimension of data that was hidden in plain sight. Proper behind that inconspicuous wanting shelve was a complete different world with an unbelievable quantity of data that I by no means knew about.

The library behind me was huge and grand, nevertheless it wasn’t akin to a drop within the bucket when you pit it in opposition to this sea of data.

From the proper have been books and manuals about cultivation strategies, some that have been surprisingly acquainted and much like ones I’ve seen within the Huge Expanse, and a few that have been extremely mysterious and mystical. noVe)lb/1n

Then alchemy books, explaining and particulars units and belongings of the Past, herbs and vegetation and heavenly treasures that I’ve by no means seen earlier than and even knew existed. New poisons, new antidots, new formulation and new alchemy strategies.

Then on the far finish have been manuals about legislation and inscription, and manuals in regards to the territory of the past, its beasts and monsters, the people that lived in it. The mortal life, the cultivation life, and even the lifetime of the mundane and the mythic from the smallest of worms, to the mightiest of phoenixes and dragons.

There was a lot information packed right here that I felt at an entire loss at first unable to even begin.

I shook my head and laughed and determined that I did not have to be grasping. I started searching for the part that had the maps of the past, and I discovered it moderately simply. The entire of the past was mapped in right here as there have been a whole lot upon a whole lot of scrolls and books that detailed maps of the complete past.

And amongst all of the areas, the portion which had the Demon Sea was categorized underneath, “Forbidden Area.”

At first I did not perceive what forbidden area meant, however from seeing that there have been different areas underneath the identical class and after a fast skim by way of the content material, I spotted what it means.

A forbidden area is a area that’s fraught with hazard and hadn’t been absolutely explored.

Although it shocked me that one thing as outdated because the Past hasn’t been absolutely explored particularly once they have individuals just like the eight Suns who’re the height lifeform of the past, in the event that they themselves did not dare and discover this area then there should be a sound cause for it.

And I got here to understand it moderately quick.

In one of many maps, the one which detailed extra in regards to the Sea of Demons particularly was one of many the reason why this space is not absolutely explored.

In spite of everything, we’re in a metropolis on the peripheries of the Sea of Demons, this metropolis we’re in is only one of many which can be sprinkled across the fringe of the Sea of Demons as not even a tenth of it had been explored. And the reason being the next.

Whoever recorded this, made detailed data of the interior area of the Sea of Demons. Which is frankly unusual, as if they’d executed so, should not the exploration fee of the forbidden Area be far increased than it’s?

“Why?” I requested.

“Due to the Walkers, we have had many incidents the place walkers have been discovered roaming the town. And thus, to cut back the chance of an infection and dying we ordered martial legislation in the course of the evening. Solely the troopers of the generals are allowed to survey and patrol in the course of the evening. Anybody who’s discovered wandering out can be instantly arrested,” Dwei mentioned.

I shrugged they have been overly cautious nevertheless it’s clear that in the event that they discovered walkers with partitions this thick and excessive, it is apparent that they’ve gotten smuggled in. One of many generals was in all probability in on it, however I wasn’t about to accuse one of many generals of treason, in spite of everything it is simply an assumption.

Quickly we arrived to the western wall, and it was there that I noticed the overall standing up excessive on high of the wall.

Dwei then flew up and gestured to us to comply with.

All of us stood atop the bone wall and solely then was I capable of witness what the overall was speaking about.

Throughout everything of this dimly lit, grey wanting and dreary sand desert have been sprinkles of individuals.

Or as near individuals as one would possibly suppose, no. That they had pores and skin as plae as ash, and their pores and skin was tightly sticking to their bones. Their ribs the elements that weren’t uncovered from being eroded and corroded have been seen underneath their pores and skin. Their faces had no eyes they usually had no lips or hair. Their tooth weren’t that of people however extra like these of a shark. Nothing however razor sharp wanting fangs adorned their mouths.

A few of them have been large in dimension, virtually ten toes tall, and a few weren’t even the scale of a person’s arm.

They wandered the desert, with none goal or aim in sight. They only moved about, bumping in one another and transferring about moderately erratically.

Each on occasion, you could possibly hear one in every of them groan and that may alert the closest batch of walkers to it. However not one of the walkers acted up on it or tried to discover the supply of this sound after listening to it the primary time.

“What do you suppose?” requested the overall.

“Basic Zombie case,” I mentioned.

“What’s that?” he requested, curious of the phrase I used.

“A corpse… made with reviving the physique of a useless man. It has no thoughts of its personal however that of the one controlling and commanding, it follows orders and is loyal as well. It is aware of no worry for dying starvation or exhaustion. That is an Undead.” I mentioned.
