Chapter 375: 393 Finally understand
Dragon Bone Wasteland, Purgatory City.
The Dawn Legion had already completely failed, and Otto had swallowed the dragon-hunting crossbow and the remaining two specialized arrows left behind by Catalan and Mentor during their escape.
As a result, the toxicity against dragons in Otto’s body had increased significantly.
Now, if a dragon faced Otto, even if it was merely scratched by his claws, it would die on the spot.
He was now lazily lying on the platform at the top of the Skeleton Tower, looking through the intelligence recently sent by Angelina.
It clearly stated that Catalan was dead and Mentor had gone missing.
Though it was an excellent achievement, Angelina still expressed her fear in the letter because of Mentor’s disappearance.
But for now, Otto wouldn’t worry about this; Mentor was just one of the few pathetic survivors of the Dawn Legion.
Apart from Mentor, Lady Bauhinia and her people were able to escape from the Dawn Legion.
Not long ago, news from the Black Rose had come that Lady Bauhinia and Mentor had met in Felton.
To be precise, Felton had occupied the territory that once belonged to Farrand.
These cowardly individuals seemed to have many teleportation scrolls in their hands, and they had built a small teleportation gate in the Dragon Bone Wasteland in advance.
Since the escape was very chaotic, Black Rose should not have had time to record the specifics of the teleportation gate.
In the letter, she only mentioned a rough location, and Otto had sent people to look for it, but the outcome was unclear.
As for these matters, Otto didn’t care much anymore.
After a while, Undead Steward Catherine walked slowly in front of Otto in Purgatory City.
“Great Majesty, I heard your summons…”
Catherine, wrapped in a black robe, knelt down respectfully in front of Otto.
At this moment, Otto was examining her. She claimed to be Catalan’s sister and held power in the past in Dawn Forest.
But now, she no longer looked like an elf. Anyone would see her only as a filthy, disgusting undead creature.
On this matter, Catherine had her own explanation.
Throughout the long years, because of various chaos and conflicts, her original body had been destroyed.
The body she used now had changed many times.
As a witch demon, even among the undead creatures, they held a special status. They kept their souls in something called a Life Box.
At the same time, they carefully guarded their Life Boxes. As long as the Life Box was unharmed, witch demons could be reborn using other bodies anytime, anywhere.
Under normal circumstances, witch demons would hide their Life Boxes in a very secret place.
Of course, the Death Lord was an exception. He felt that no place was safer than inside his own armor.
And then, he met the freak, Otto…
As for Catherine, she was like most witch demons, carefully hiding her Life Box.
Looking at Catherine’s respectful expression, Otto suddenly asked, “Do you know that Catalan is dead?”
Hearing this news, Otto could clearly see that Catherine was shocked. It seemed that she cared more about her brother than she had let on.
But Otto wasn’t worried that she would do anything against him. In some ways, the binding of the Undead Lord wasn’t worse than a blood covenant.
Perhaps Catherine still had feelings for Dawn Forest and the elves, but due to her current unique status, she had to remain on the absolute opposing side.
After a while, Otto still hadn’t spoken. He was thinking about something.
However, looking at Otto’s current state, Catherine obviously misunderstood something.
Catherine quickly pressed her forehead to the ground and said with a respectful and sincere voice, “Your Majesty, please believe me. Although Catalan is my brother, I have completely cut ties with the past.
The only reason I live in this world now is to offer all my loyalty to you!”
“Enough…”
Otto waved his hand, showing that he didn’t care.
Then he asked, “Who can manage this place instead of you in Purgatory City?”
Regarding this question, Catherine hesitated somewhat. Finally, she said hesitantly, “Skeletal Dragon Frostfire is a wise creature. He was a White Dragon in his previous life, and now he has good insight and ambition in managing the undead forces.”
“Very good!”
Otto nodded, seeming to know that Catherine had misunderstood something, but he didn’t intend to continue explaining.
Soon, he continued, “For now, let Frostfire take care of the matters in Purgatory City and manage the undead army. If he doesn’t do well, I will replace him.
As for you? Come with me to Yellow Sand City, I have some new tasks for you.”
“Yellow Sand City?”
Catherine didn’t yet know the relationship between Otto’s several personas; based on their current situation, Yellow Sand City seemed to be neutral.
However, she didn’t dare to ask too much. Whether she followed the Death Lord or Otto, she could maintain a high position in the undead army as long as she complied and was sensible.
Before Catherine’s eyes, Otto’s figure rapidly shrunk, eventually turning into a black dragon-man.
Then, he led Catherine into the small teleportation gate already set up behind him.
After a while, the scenery changed rapidly after Catherine and Otto entered the teleportation gate.
The dark yellow sandstone and the very ordinary, yet practical, interior wall design…
Catherine surveyed her surroundings quickly. She was in a building with the unique features of the Dragon Bone Wasteland, perhaps even a castle.
In the center of the room was a simple throne where a strange silver dragon-man sat, looking high and mighty.
A lizardman, a goblin, and a beautiful blonde elf stood nearby in reverence.
Before Catherine could react, the silver and black dragon-man walked slowly towards each other. In Catherine’s astonished gaze, they merged into one.
As for their appearance, it still retained the appearance of the silver dragon-man.
Witnessing all of this, Catherine nodded thoughtfully as if she had finally understood something.
It was said that the true master of Yellow Sand City was a powerful Silver Dragon who resided in Nolan Forest, known as the Silver Dragon Lord.
