Han Dong, who was sitting on the heavy sword, was completely relaxed. He recalled the battle and Captain Alex's warning.
Then, he looked at the female Egyptian corpse that was also lying flat on the surface of the heavy sword, as well as his mummified left arm.
"I used the most basic sand wall spell just now.
But what I created was a black sand wall that I had never seen before. Not only did it increase my magic level and the power of death, but it also incorporated the attributes of ancient Egypt.
Could it be that the immersion in the Pool of Chaos and the invasion of real death made the original ability of [Imhotep] become stronger?
Looks like I have to make good use of this time … Maybe, even if I don't enter the destiny world of Mummy, I still have a chance to level up this arm. "
Of course, Han Dong was not in a hurry.
The test of [Will and Courage] was an important part of the great expedition's selection process. It took a lot of manpower and resources to set the test in Tal Prison.
It would take at least ten days to half a month, which was more than enough time for Han Dong to train in the zone of Chaos.
Thinking of this, Han Dong looked at the female knight wearing the black iron helmet. He wanted to ask about the things below.
However, a female voice came from under the black iron helmet first. She asked before Han Dong could.
"Why are you not affected by the Blasphemy Scripture?"
As she spoke, Lisa took out the parchment that was hidden in her bra and pointed at the exclusive equipment.
Han Dong was still staring at the parchment with a smile. He did not react at all.
"Well … I did a lot of homework on the [Brain]. I focused on the protection of the mind to make sure that the brain is not affected by the mind from the outside world."
It was the first time Lisa met an individual who was not affected by her Blasphemy Scripture. Even if it was someone more powerful than Lisa in the zone of Chaos, it was impossible for them to do so.
"You are very special. No wonder Captain Alex gave you special treatment and let you come down here as a living person."
"Living person? Could it be … you guys? "
Han Dong had suspected this from the very beginning. Whether it was the battle just now or the current contact … Han Dong didn't sense a single trace of a living person's aura.
"Yes, all the knights that are active in the chaos zone are [Dead People]. We can only live within the coverage of the black lotus. Once we leave, we will die immediately."
As she spoke, Lisa took the initiative to reveal her neck under her armor.
There was a circle of obvious rope marks on it, as well as the "black lotus" mark that Han Dong had seen in the lake.
Lisa continued, "We are the losers. In the battle against the Hybrid Demons, we were deeply contaminated ….. We should have died.
However, Commander Alex gave us a chance.
Using death as the price, in exchange for the purification of their consciousness, they can continue living in the Chaos Region as the [Dead]. "
"I don't think that all the contaminated knights could be transformed smoothly, right?" Han Dong asked.
"Yes ….. The fallen knights that were judged as [Unpurifiable] by the Holy See will not receive any form of purification. They will be directly escorted to the Tal Prison where they will never see the light of day for the rest of their lives.
Most of them will completely degenerate during the dark period of imprisonment. They will lose their human form and their last bit of humanity.
Because the knights themselves already have a mature strength system, once they degenerate, they will become Hybrid Demons.
This portion of the knights who become Hybrid Demons will become the "experimental subjects" of the Holy City.
The scientists under the command of the investors will conduct confidential research to deepen their understanding of the process of degeneration and the nature of the Hybrid Demons.
Only a few of us knights can maintain our sense of self under the situation of deep contamination. Even if we are brainwashed by the "whispers outside the city" all day long, we still maintain our humanity.
However, the degeneration of the physical body is inevitable, so during this process, the attributes outside the city flow into the talent tree.
At this time, Commander Alex found us, who had completely degenerated but were still struggling to hold on ….. He gave us the right to die.
I chose [Hang Yourself].
After the physical body is completely dead, Deputy Commander Stalvan will throw us into the 'Pool of Chaos' and form an eternal connection with the black lotus. We will wash away the contamination in our consciousness and be reborn in the Chaos Region as the [Dead]. "
"I see ….." The doubts that existed in Han Dong's heart were completely solved. Then, he thought of a question. "Hmm? What will happen if a living person is thrown in? "
"The black lotus is a product of the [Boundary of Death – Chaos]. A living person who comes into contact with it will die immediately ….. Could it be that you were not sent by Commander Alex? You sank in through the 'Pool of Chaos'? "
Hearing this, Han Dong was shocked and thought of the scene of his body being disassembled.
"Oh my god, if it wasn't for the undying attribute of my left arm, would I really have died? Did Commander Alex want to kill me in the beginning? Was it because he wasn't chosen in the Knight Assembly? "
Han Dong thought of this and felt a lingering fear. He looked at his left arm. "It seems that it was because of the opportunity of coming into contact with the black lotus that not only did I not die, but it also stimulated the potential of this arm ….. Commander Alex shouldn't be so stingy. He must have considered this in advance."
Han Dong had no choice but to comfort himself like this.
Next, they continued to explore deeper.
The content of the conversation gradually involved the background of [Blasphemer. Lisa].
Lisa graduated from the Knight Academy's Crusader major. She majored in heavy weapons and had unique experience in using various types of heavy weapons ….. Later on, she was selected into the Lionheart Knights with the result of No.23.
About thirteen years ago.
Lisa was following the knights on a small expedition when she encountered a strange heretic.
The preliminary investigation found that this group of heretics was just transformed from ordinary humans. Lisa and two other ordinary knights were sent to deal with them.
However, there was a Hybrid Demon hidden among the heretics — [Blasphemer. Wenoxis].
Because of the blockade trap, there was nowhere to escape and there was no way to contact the main force.
Even if they finally killed the Hybrid Demon, Lisa was affected by the incurable blasphemy.
When the main force found her, more than 50% of her body had been distorted. The surface of her skin was branded with profane words that could not be removed.
Just like this, they chatted.
Finally, they passed through the stone pillar area of the Chaos Prison and came to the place where the [Dead] gathered ….. The scene in front of them was completely unexpected.
"Where is the prison that we talked about?"
What appeared in Han Dong's vision was not a closely arranged prison.
Instead, it was a stone village.
The regular bungalow buildings were all piled up with large stones.
If one looked down from the sky, they would find that the stone village was arranged in the shape of a lotus.
There were hundreds of 'strange-looking' villagers living in the village. They were all dead like Lisa. They were fallen knights who adhered to the beliefs of humans until death.
