Chapter 217 - Ruins (1/2)

Walking into the ruins of the city, Heath turned his head to look at the scenery around him.

The architectural style of the entire city was more like Roman style. There were long corridors and high walls. The road was paved with small bricks and stones. Most of the places had been severely cracked, and clumps of weeds grew out from the cracks.

After walking for a while, a situation suddenly came from the front.

Ka! Ka!

The sound of bones grinding could be heard.

On the road ahead, a pale Skeleton was staggering towards them.

The Twilight Ruins used to be the largest city state in Essos. It was said that the largest population in the city had reached an astonishing number of millions. Most of these people died in the war ten thousand years ago, their remains were affected by the Wraiths and became the residents who would never die.

Other than that, it was said that there were also some original residents who wandered here. Because of the seal, their souls were also trapped here.

”Sir, there's a situation!”

”It's Skeletons!”

”Let these bald-headed guys taste the cross-shaped sword!”

A Knight quickly rushed up, drew the cross-shaped sword, and slashed at the Skeleton in front of him.

Although the dead souls here could wake up under the influence of the Wraiths, they were far from the level of the Wraiths. Their undead characteristics were usually between level 1 and level 2, so they were not very powerful.

After a few strikes, the Knight only heard a 'clang' sound, and the Skeleton was shattered into a pile of bones. The already weak soul flame inside was extinguished completely.

”Hahaha, look at this bald head. It really can't take a beating!”

”Kick it over, kick its head over.”

”Serve it, catch it properly!”

The Knights laughed loudly and started to have a show. They kicked the chopped skull around like it was a rubber ball.

”Pass it to me, pass it to me.”

”Caught it properly... eh?”

At this moment, the skull that was made into a rubber ball suddenly flew up. With a 'whoosh' sound, it flew into Heath's hand as if it had eyes.

Heath said, ”The remains of the dead are nothing to be amused about.”

A young Knight with golden hair said somewhat arrogantly, ”It's just a bone. What does it matter if you play with it?”

Heath said, ”Even if you die, you don't want others to kick your head around, right?”

The golden-haired Knight's expression changed, and he said unhappily, ”I'm a noble, a Knight of the Hualan family. How can you compare me to the head of a lowly slave!”

Essos was in the era of slavery, and Twilight City was a famous city of slaves. Most of the people living in it were slaves.

Heath looked at the blond Knight in surprise. Was he contradicting him?

This was really strange.

He said casually, ”I am a Wizard. There is no distinction between noble and lowly in the eyes of a Wizard.”

After saying that, he walked to the pile of bones and put the skull in his hand. Then, he grabbed with his right hand, and a ball of flame was caught in his hand, and then he put it on the Skeleton, the bones on the ground quickly burned into ashes with a sizzling sound.

The blond Knight's face stiffened.

”Alright, Joseph, have you forgotten what the Viscount told us before he left? The Wizard is our commander. We have to listen to his commands outside.”

At this moment, an older Knight came up to smooth things over. This was the leader of this team, Knight Stoke.

Stoke stopped Joseph's criticism. Then, he smiled at Heath and said, ”Sir Wizard, I'm sorry. Joseph is from the Hualan family. His father is a Rimet Wizard. He has been pampered since he was young. Please don't lower yourself to his level.”
