Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1096: Northern Territory Palace, Northern Territory Witch King

Something is wrong. Ten percent or even nine percent wrong.

The quiet Northern Palace is like a silent fire alarm - although it should remain silent in most cases, but when you see a blazing fire and it remains silent, then there is a big problem.

No matter how arrogant the spirits were, they could not pretend that nothing had happened after the Xia Jin army's Yingzi army appeared in the heart of Sanqiu with two senior witches.

At this moment, Lin Yu felt extremely fortunate for his decision to "sneak in". He could tell with a little thought that something strange must have happened inside the Northern Territory Palace.

"Stiller, you stay here... No, later you should find a way to retreat further away and find a safe place to hide." After a brief thought at the foot of the wall, Lin Yu gave instructions to Stiller, who was still carrying the "anchor". "Take Lao Zheng and wait for my signal here. Hannah and I will go in."

Lin Yu said this and Stiller nodded.

"Understood, boss."

Then, he took Lao Zheng from Lin Yu, left Hannah's invisible range, and began to move to the periphery silently with the help of the terrain.

With Stiller's ability and long-cultivated tactical skills, after just walking through in disguise, he was naturally able to find the blind spots in the still not-so-tight Eldar patrol route.

After watching Stiller go away, Lin Yu also approached the iron wall.

Then...

He temporarily put away Hannah and activated the [Gray Spirit Eye] on his body. He turned into a ghostly translucent state and entered the spirit mode.

Lin Yu's current form is closer to a combination of energy body and information body than a "material life". He is like a ghost or a goblin, with almost no entity.

Therefore, he easily entered the iron wall - although the wall was very thick, Lin Yu's mental power recovery speed and consumption were now fully capable of supporting him to cross the metal wall in "spiritual mode".

Any "physical" defensive fortifications are "useless" to Lin Yu.

However, when Lin Yu entered, he noticed that this metal wall was not just an ordinary wall, and it seemed to have some defenses against "invisible intrusions".

As soon as Lin Yu entered the city wall, he felt a cold, deadly force lingering around his body.

However, Lin Yu quickly realized that these were not meant to defend against "spirits" but were mainly meant to defend against "witchcraft", so although they caused some damage to his soul, they were not fatal.

It felt like walking naked in the snow. Although it was cold and life-threatening if I stayed there any longer, it only lasted for a few minutes and the worst consequence would be a bad cold.

What's more, Lin Yu's soul is quite "strong".

Therefore, Lin Yu even had the leisure to use his mental power to explore the surroundings and study how the "anti-witchcraft power" inside the city wall was achieved.

And then...

Lin Yu discovered the source of these forces - this metal, which seemed to be cast in one piece, contained a lot of "impurities".

The true identity of those impurities is... bones.

Complete, standing corpses stood within the city wall. Judging from the shape of the corpses...

Most of them are humans and elves!

Moreover, although the molten metal almost burned them to the point that only broken bones were left, Lin Yu could still make out some details.

Judging from the neat arrangement of the bones, the fixed spacing and the slightly different postures, they seemed to have been cast alive into the city wall while they were still alive - each skeleton showed a struggling posture, but because their hands and feet were tied and the space for movement was limited, the struggle could not be very intense.

"This is a 'living pile'..."

Lin Yu thought of the magnificent and long outer wall of the Northern Territory Palace - he was not sure how many corpses were hidden inside.

In short, it will definitely not be a small number.

This made Lin Yu sigh that it was worthy of being the Black Swamp Realm.

Life here is really... too cheap.

He walked out of the tall city wall and officially entered the Northern Territory Palace.

Then he took out Hannah again.

"Help me with my disguise, Hannah."

"Quack! As you command!"

Hannah's ink covered her body again. Lin Yu released the "spiritual mode" brought by the [Gray Spirit Eye]. At the same time, he took out an ice cream and ate a ball to replenish the mental power he had just consumed.

Although this consumption is still within the range that Lin Yu can bear, Lin Yu still feels that he should stay in the best condition.

After all, the interior of the Northern Territory Palace was just as Lin Yu had expected.

Even more "abnormal" than outside.

All the doors inside the palace that should normally be open were closed, and no one was seen patrolling the wide spaces of the city walls, the main body of the palace, and several side halls - but this did not mean that the garrison forces inside the palace had been completely withdrawn.

On the contrary, this is a reflection of the extreme contraction of defensive forces.

Lin Yu could feel that all the guards were gathered in the main hall.

This kind of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside... is even weirder than nothing happening at all.

"In the end what happened?"

Lin Yu thought about it and decided to move forward.

He slowly approached the palace, and then slowly spread out his mental power.

Although the technological development level of Black Swamp is considered to be backward among the Ten Realms, due to their strong individual qualities and powerful witchcraft, their buildings also have a huge and magnificent appearance.

The main hall of the Northern Territory Palace is much larger than the headquarters of the Truth Company and is one of the most magnificent buildings in the entire Sanqiu.

In the Northern Territory, its scale is second only to the Holy Land of the Qilin Clan.

Although the Ling tribe, like the Barbarian, Xue Luo, and Demon tribes, retained the tribal system, unlike the Zi tribe of Xia and Jin, which already had the rudiments of feudalism.

But apart from the Xiajin human race, the "system" of the spirit race is indeed the most advanced.

Because among the elves, the most powerful wizard is the leader - in other races, wizards are independent of chiefs, patriarchs or tribe leaders. Although they enjoy power and a superior status, they are not the only ones in power. In some races, wizards do not even directly participate in the management of tribes and races.

But among the Eldar, the most powerful wizard is the most powerful being, known as the "Witch King" - and there are no other leaders who can share power with them.

For this reason, the elves do not use "blood ties" as a bond to pass on status and power, but instead use "master-disciple" as a bond.

In the spirit race, shamans have a very strong status, and for shamans, the inheritance of knowledge is more important than the inheritance of blood.

The position of the Witch King is passed on to their most powerful disciple.

Of course... being the child of the most powerful wizard also has its advantages. After all, you can choose your own parents as teachers.

There are now six wizard kings in the Eldar, each of whom represents a powerful "school of wizards".

And this Northern Territory Palace...

As the name suggests, it is naturally the place where the King of the Northern Territory of the Eldar and his disciples live and study witchcraft!
