Lin Yun was a bit surprised that the 5th Ancestor survived. The other side paid such a huge price to trick Agalon and the others into a trap. It would be difficult to come out after entering the Nightmare Kingdom.
How should he save Agalon and the others? Lin Yun felt a headache just thinking about it.
Entering the Nightmare Kingdom was quite easy. Lin Yun knew a dozen ways to enter the Nightmare Kingdom, but if he wanted to escape after entering, he would have to be completely prepared.
After entering the Nightmare Kingdom, the Natural Demiplane should be blocked and couldn't be opened in the Nightmare Kingdom. In that illusory world, everything might be fake. But at the same time, if he really died inside, he would truly die.
After thinking for a bit, Lin Yun seemed to remember something he saw in the Undead Auction. Lin Yun didn't know what was inside the box, but he remembered that there was a box with a special symbol carved on it.
And that symbol's meaning was to seal the power of the nightmare, it had a similar effect to a mental defense. He had only glanced at it last time and didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he recalled the Nightmare Kingdom, Lin Yun suddenly remembered that he had seen that symbol before. If there was nothing unexpected, that box should contain something left behind by the Nightmare Lord. It was most likely a part of the Nightmare Lord's body.
The combination of the Lord of Nightmares' bones and soul fragments was the key to open the door of the Nightmare Kingdom. With this key, one could enter the Nightmare Kingdom and come out again. However, this was only a possibility …
But more importantly, something else was needed.
The soulless cursed advanced in the darkness of the nightmare. The curse of eternal life, never a moment of rest.
This was a sentence he had once read. Lin Yun felt a headache. If he wanted to come back, he would have to borrow the power of others. The soulless cursed were the ancestors of the Vampires.
Only the Thirteen Ancestors of the Vampires had no souls, but they still lived well. Legend had it that their souls had disappeared because of the power of the curse. They could live forever like the Liches, but they could never get a moment of peace.
Legend had it that in the God and Demon Kingdom of the Lord of Nightmares, the 13 vampires were the servants who took care of the kingdom. This was because they would not be affected by the power of the Nightmare Kingdom. In order to prevent the Nightmare Kingdom from becoming a wasteland, the Lord of Nightmares had to have someone do the menial work that the Lord of Nightmares was unwilling to do.
So he used his power to create the Thirteen Ancestor Vampires.
This was only a legend. No one knew the truth because the power of the Lord of Nightmares was full of mystery. However, it was confirmed that the Vampire Ancestor would not be affected by the power of the Nightmare Kingdom.
With the correct method and the key to the Nightmare Kingdom, the Vampire Ancestor would have the highest chance of walking out of the Nightmare Kingdom. As long as he didn't die inside, he would definitely be able to escape.
In the future, after the Undead Plane was conquered, the Thirteen Ancestor Vampires were all captured. Like hunting dogs, they were put on a leash and made to assist in exploring the Nightmare Kingdom.
Those crazy mages also researched a way to enter and leave the Nightmare Kingdom freely. Many mages even went to the Nightmare Kingdom for inspiration …
In the records left behind by these people, there were many things specifically related to the Nightmare Kingdom. Lin Yun knew how to enter and leave, but the most important thing now was how to capture a living Vampire Ancestor …
This living Vampire Ancestor was like a guide dog, or a marker. If he wanted to leave the Nightmare Kingdom, the best way was to use a living Vampire Ancestor as a coordinate …
Killing a slightly weaker Vampire Progenitor wasn't a particularly difficult problem. Seven or eight of the top-ranked Vampire Progenitors had already fallen. It wouldn't be a problem to find information about the ones behind and kill one, but to capture one alive …
This was a big problem. Lin Yun kept scratching his head, sparks constantly popping out of his skull.
"Forget it, let's go take a look at the things in the Undead Auction House and see if I can gather a complete key …"
When he arrived at the auction house carved from a huge obsidian, Lin Yun once again transformed into his human appearance. He activated the power of the Chapter of Beginning and wrapped his body in a layer of black fog.
When he entered the auction house again, there were still many Undead auctions. The things being auctioned this time were obviously not as good as the last. After Lin Yun entered, the skeleton with the worn-out felt hat took the initiative to welcome him. Without saying a word, he led Lin Yun to the upper floor.
When he saw Lilith again, she was lying on the table and writing something quickly. The Forgotten Book was floating in front of her. In addition to the Forgotten Book, there were also a dozen or so animal skin books floating in front of her. These books were constantly flipping, as if Lilith had encountered some problem.
When Lin Yun walked in, Lilith immediately separated a few thick octopus tentacles and carefully rolled up the books, placing them all in their original positions.
"Oh, my dear Human Excellency, you really are still alive. Recently, the Undead Plane has not been very peaceful. I thought you had fallen. That was the most unfortunate news.
It's really great to see you again. Our transaction can continue. Do you still have Klingon spells? The Forgotten Book has recently recorded a lot of things that may be of interest to you. Do you want to take a look? "
When Lilith saw Lin Yun, she immediately expressed her enthusiasm with an aria. She even used one of her tentacles to bring over a huge chair that was more than three meters high for Lin Yun.
Lin Yun's expression was a little strange. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, but Lilith seemed to have taken the wrong medicine …
"Ah, did I say something wrong? Don't human powerhouses call you Your Excellency? Recently, I've specially studied about human beings. I have to say that many things about human beings are much more powerful than the undead. I'm shocked by their terrifying creativity. They're really a race that's favored by fate, although most human beings are too fragile … "
Lilith still spoke in an aria like a bard. Lin Yun sighed.
"Alright, Lilith. Could it be that we can continue with our previous deal? Have you found all the remaining fragments? "
Lilith adjusted her monocle and extended a tentacle to take down a pitch-black stone box from the stone shelf on the side. The surface of the box was engraved with a large number of strange patterns that were full of the special mageweaths of the Undead Plane.
Lilith opened the stone box, and an unbelievably pure aura of light blossomed from it. The gentle power of light turned into a faint halo that enveloped the stone box. As time passed, the halo slowly expanded, as if it was completely unaffected by the obsidian building's suppression.
Lin Yun glanced at the fragments in the stone box and slowly nodded. The fragments were neatly arranged in the box, but one of them was missing. From its shape, it was the one he had obtained last time.
Although it was broken, it didn't matter as long as it wasn't missing anything. After all, this thing was one of the Augments of the Book of Death. As long as there was a specific method and all the fragments were present, it could be easily restored.
Moreover, that pure aura of light simply couldn't be faked. At the very least, no one in the Undead Plane had that kind of ability, and the fact that it wasn't suppressed by the obsidian building proved that it was genuine.
Lin Yun threw a spatial ring to Lilith.
"The Planar Path has been arranged inside. I made the Planar Path into a special Magic Tool. No matter where the other party arranges the Planar Path, they only need to assemble it according to the method recorded inside. After the Planar Path is arranged, it will thoroughly stabilize and can no longer be moved.
"According to our transaction, the buyer can decide the location themselves. I won't know, is that okay?"
Lilith adjusted her glasses and looked at the spatial ring for a few seconds before decisively nodding.
"No problem, Sir Human. You are a lot more trustworthy than the humans in the records. It looks like our transaction was very pleasant, we can continue."
Lin Yun put away the box and nodded.
"Alright, Lilith, we can continue the transaction. I want something related to the Lord of Nightmare, preferably the bones and soul fragments of the Lord of Nightmare. As for the price of the transaction, we can negotiate."
Lilith had a smile on her face as she kept flipping through the pages of the Forgotten Book. Soon, she found what she was looking for, but she looked at Lin Yun with some surprise.
"Sir, do you want to go to the Nightmare Nation? Entering the Kingdom of Nightmares was bound to lead to eternal depravity. Even the King of the Undead was unwilling to enter that kind of place. According to the records in the Forgotten Book, except for a certain special creature, no one could walk out of the Kingdom of Nightmares after entering it.
"If you want to save those humans that have fallen into the Nightmare Nation, I advise you to give up. Humans can't enter the Nightmare Nation to save people …"
Lin Yun wasn't surprised that Lilith knew about this. The special effect of the Forgotten Book was to make many people forget things they didn't want to know, and this kind of information could be used for transactions.
"Eh, Sir, aren't you surprised that I know? Oh, that's boring. So you already knew about it. But as a fair transaction, I have to remind you that your idea is completely impossible. Even if you get what you want and enter the Nightmare Nation, you won't be able to escape again. It's an eternal depravity … "
Lin Yun nodded.
"I know these things. One Klingon spell in exchange for the bones and soul fragments of the Nightmare Lord. Is that okay?"
Lilith covered her forehead, seemingly distressed.
"What a stubborn guy. Humans are indeed very stubborn. Well, I do have a piece of the bones and soul fragments of the Nightmare Lord here, but you know that the body of the Nightmare Lord is rather special.
The body of the Lord of Nightmares is rather special. He doesn't have many bones. When the Lord of Nightmares fell in the Undead Plane, his bones basically disappeared. What's left is a part of his skull. It's the only piece we have.
This is the most precious thing, Sir. Do you think one Klingon spell is enough? Our deal has to be fair enough … "
Lin Yun shook his head gently.
The Nightmare Lord was indeed special. This guy was the only one among the gods and demons that didn't have a fixed body. He was like a half-ghost, but he still had bones. If not for this state, the Nightmare Lord wouldn't have escaped to the Undead Plane when he was on the verge of death.
He escaped to the Undead Plane because he wanted to use the power of the Undead Plane to recover. It wasn't difficult for his body to transform into an Undead creature. Unfortunately, the injury he received was a broken Godfiend soul, which was useless in the Undead Plane …
The bones of the Nightmare Lord were rare, but it was a bit exaggerated to say that there was only one left. Lin Yun remembered clearly that the skull of the Nightmare Lord was made up of 17 bones. Eleven of them had turned into ashes and dissipated, leaving six remaining in the Undead Plane.
One of them turned into the Death Knight's mount, Shapeshifter, while the other five remained in their original forms. There was almost no one in the Undead Plane who could destroy the skull of the Lord of Nightmares. At least none of them knew how to destroy the skull of the Lord of Nightmares.
After all, it was the skull of a Godfiend, which was almost immortal. According to Ymir, this Undead Auction House seemed to be the property of the Lord of Greed in the Undead Plane. Lin Yun had some impression of this Lord of Greed. According to the records, he was the God of Wealth in the Undead Plane. His ability to plunder wealth was definitely the best in the Undead Plane.
However, there were only some vague records. No one had seen what kind of creature this Lord of Greed was, what he looked like, and how strong he was. This guy had never participated in a war and didn't seem to have a territory. However, the Undead Lords seemed to know that this Lord of Greed wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Lin Yun didn't believe that this Lord of Greed only had one skull of the Nightmare Lord.
The materials for the five keys that were created in the future were all from the Undead Plane, and it didn't take much effort to find these five skulls. For some reason, the Incubus Warhorse that was transformed from the last skull was not killed by those crazy Mages.
As for the soul fragments of the Incubus Lord, there were even more. After all, it was in a semi-spectral state, and its soul had been shattered. The remaining soul fragments were far more than the skulls.
"A Klingon spell for a piece of the skull of the Lord of Nightmares. If you're willing to trade with me, it's fine if you don't. After all, the number of soul fragments of the Lord of Nightmares is quite large. I only need to put in a little effort and I can easily find them. For example, if I remember correctly, there should be some in the Ghost Canyon and at the crossroads of the Styx …"
Lilith glared at Lin Yun.
"The soul fragments in Ghost Canyon are long gone. At the crossroads of the Styx … Scary guy, how do you know where to find the soul fragments of the Nightmare Lord …
No, at least two Klingon spells, no less! "
Lin Yun continued to shake his head.
"Lilith, greed is the greatest sin. I only have one Klingon spell left. It's a fair trade. I know where to get the skull of the Lord of Nightmares, but it's too troublesome. Making a deal with you is the most time-saving way.
In fact, if we didn't have a good trade, I would have traded with other demon clerks. I believe they would be more than happy to trade two things that are completely useless to them for a precious Klingon spell.
Besides, if I really can't do it, I can trade with the Lord of Greed, but I don't think it will be a good trade with that guy. So, do you understand?
You're not the only one who has what I want, but I'm the only one who has what you want. This is not fair. In terms of value, I have to pay more than you! "
Behind Lilith, dozens of tentacles were waving. Lilith widened her eyes and glared at Lin Yun. After more than ten seconds, she waved her hand disappointedly. A tentacle flew out and took a pitch-black obsidian box from the top of the stone shelf.
"Alright, greedy demon. Damn it, even the greediest demon I've ever seen and the one who is the best at making deals can't compare to you. You're really a scary guy. I think you can definitely trick a demon into giving you his territory.
A Klingon spell, the skull and soul fragments of the Nightmare Lord that you want are all here.
However, as a prerequisite for the trade, I still have to remind you that even if you get this and enter the Nightmare Kingdom, you won't be able to escape. Although I'm better at making deals than demons, I don't want you to die in the Nightmare Kingdom … "
Lin Yun smiled and did not say anything. He took a quill and quickly signed the trade contract that Lilith had prepared. After the contract was signed, Lin Yun wrote a Klingon spell in the Forgotten Book.
After taking a look at the Klingon Spell in the Forgotten Book, a smile appeared on Lilith's face. The importance of the Klingon Spell to her was equivalent to the understanding of the Laws of mages, and it was necessary for her to advance. Although a Klingon Spell could only be used once, it would be completely useless after being used.
But in this era, although there were not many Klingon spells that had not been used, there were still many that had been unearthed in the future …
After all, the rarer ones were, the more valuable they were. All Undead understood this principle.
After getting what he wanted, Lin Yun opened it and took a look. Inside was a palm-sized bone. It looked ordinary and had no special characteristics, but when he looked at it, he felt his mind go into a trance. The longer he looked at it, the stronger that feeling became, and even his soul started to be affected.
After confirming this, Lin Yun felt relieved. This thing was real, and there was no need to test the soul fragment. A fragment containing the soul power of a God was like a terrifying object that could explode at any time. If this thing exploded, just a fingernail-sized fragment would be comparable to a 10th Tier Spell.
