Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 27

Shen Ye quickly finished reading, put away his sword, and then looked at the letter.

Actually, that hand probably pointed to this letter.

The badge was just an incidental gain.

“Hey, I can’t read these words, read them to me,” Shen Ye said.

“I haven’t learned your human words either,” Big Skeleton said.

Shen Ye rolled over, found the corpse of a human soldier, and spread the letter before his eyes:

“Excuse me, what does this letter say?”

Asked like that, the corpse had no choice but to open its eyes and read the letter:

“Notice regarding the imperative to ascertain the truth of the undead anomaly.”

“Brothers and sisters:”

“The Empire and the Elf Kingdom have jointly issued a major mission. As long as any information about undead anomalies can be found, generous rewards can be obtained.”

“Please everyone go to the battlefield. The survival of our race requires our full strength to fight for it.”

“May the shadows protect you and me.”

“—Shadow Hand.”

Shen Ye understood when he heard this.

So it was an assassin who had taken a mission!

Roman must have also been an assassin. Seeing his face mask, he decided to help him, which is why he left that single-soldier combat pack.

He told himself that the camp with three short swords erected was where the Brotherhood was.

That’s basically how things were.

But—

How would this help him?

Could he really uncover the truth behind the undead anomaly?

…Wait a minute.

“Brother, tell me a bit about the undead situation. I’ll go get the reward.”

Shen Ye spoke towards the ring.

“What kind of information do you want? Earth-shattering? Or common?” Big Skeleton asked calmly.

Shen Ye was a little surprised.

This guy didn’t object at all?

It was a real undead.

But on second thought, it had been forced by three similar beings to assassinate the elf leader, so he could understand it a bit.

—If it were me, I’d also betray them.

Shen Ye said, “I can’t take too sensational information, because I’m just an ordinary person. If I take out earth-shattering information, others will have to verify it, and I will definitely bear great risks.”

“Then, I have a piece of information here, just enough for you to get something,” Big Skeleton said.

“What information?”

“The undead adopted new cannon parts, which can increase the power of the undead soul fire cannons by 20% and the firing frequency by 10%.”

Along with Big Skeleton’s voice, a crystal emanating a greyish-white mist appeared before Shen Ye.

“Is the value of this information too high?”

Shen Ye hesitated.

Big Skeleton said, “Not high. In fact, as the war progresses, I believe the higher-ups of humanity already have some suspicions, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet.”

“So my information won’t be too conspicuous?” Shen Ye’s eyes lit up.

“Absolutely correct,” Big Skeleton said.

That’s good.

He could get benefits without attracting too much attention.

Shen Ye then confidently put away the crystal.

Everything was ready.

He rolled to the side of the undead giant, took a deep breath, and laboriously propped up the stone hammer.

“Hey, are you serious?” Big Skeleton couldn’t help but say.

“You just need to tell me if the human battlefield’s medical standards can heal my wounds,” Shen Ye said.

The stone hammer was so heavy that just propping it up made his hands tremble uncontrollably.

“Of course, if you have money, you can even regenerate lost limbs,” Big Skeleton said.

“What about you undead?” Shen Ye asked.

“We usually throw dying soldiers outside. If they survive, they survive.”

“Don’t you treat them at all?” Shen Ye asked curiously.

“That’s not it—using special incantations to manifest a sacrificial altar, confining a group of undead or living beings, and drawing strength from them can also instantly restore us—only very high-ranking undead can do this, and they also need to understand the various secrets involved.”

Big Skeleton explained in detail.

“So, the humans are still more cost-effective,” Shen Ye commented.

“Of course, as long as you’re willing to pay a high price, the human sacred arts are the most effective. Even elves can’t compare to humans,” Big Skeleton stated definitively.

“Need money?”

“Yes.”

“Do we have money?” Shen Ye asked.

“I do,” Big Skeleton said.

“So we have money, that’s great,” Shen Ye said.

Big Skeleton couldn’t refute.

—After all, it was also relying on him.

Shen Ye let go.

Thud.

The stone hammer fell, hitting him in the chest, making him spit out a mouthful of blood.

“Won’t you get a limb regeneration, buddy? I have money,” Big Skeleton said bitterly.

“Why spend so much money on a supporting role?” Shen Ye said.

“Authenticity,” Big Skeleton said.

Shen Ye let out a loud, painful groan:

“Who… who will save me…”

He grabbed the tower shield and struck the undead giant’s stone hammer, making a “clang” sound.

In the distance.

Several human soldiers suddenly turned around.

One of them rushed over, took a closer look.

Shen Ye was lying on the ground, holding a broken spear, his secondary tower shield was completely shattered, his armor was broken, and his helmet was covered in blood.

—He was completely crushed by the stone hammer.

How brave!

That human soldier blew his whistle forcefully.

The stretcher team quickly ran over.

…

Minutes later.

On a busy patch of grass.

The priest had finished treatment and patted Shen Ye on the shoulder, saying:

“Brave young man, you survived the undead giant’s stone hammer. That’s a remarkable thing.”

“Thank you for treating me,” Shen Ye said gratefully.

He touched his chest.

His broken ribs were perfectly intact, leaving no trace of injury.

At this moment, an officer led more than a dozen of his confidants into the camp.

Shen Ye noticed that the entire camp had become much quieter.

Looking at the officer again, although he wasn’t very old, only twenty-seven or twenty-eight, the confidants and attendants behind him were eye-catching.

There were white-haired old men in grey robes holding staffs, great knights in full armor, and mysterious figures in black robes holding black books and wearing face masks.

Several female warriors holding strong crossbows stood at the outermost edge of the team, cautiously guarding the surroundings.

—What kind of person is this, with such a grand entourage?

Shen Ye thought silently, his heart also tightened.

Unexpectedly, this group of people walked and looked, finally stopping in front of his stretcher.

The officer examined Shen Ye and asked:

“Whose subordinate are you?”

“Lord Rhine,” Shen Ye said.

Everyone around looked over.

The officer paused, then softened his tone and said, “I’m very sorry, your territory has been occupied by the undead… Do you have anything to prove your identity?”

Shen Ye handed over the Nightmare Crystal.

“This is our lord’s distress letter,” he said with a sad expression.

The attendant beside the officer took the crystal and handed it to the old man in a long robe behind the officer.

The old man chanted a spell.

A panicked voice immediately sounded from the crystal:

“Sirs of the Empire.”

“Whoever can bring troops to save our Rhine territory, I am willing to pay three hundred gold coins, as well as a considerable land deed!”

“I am Lord Lawrence of Rhine!”

“Please save us!”

The voice disappeared.

The old man nodded and said, “This is Lawrence’s voice, and the crystal is fine.”

The officer sighed and looked at everyone.

They all looked dejected.

There was nothing they could do.

The situation in Rhine territory was too tragic.

This messenger might be the only survivor.

“Messenger, you should rest first and don’t think so much for now.”

“Thank you, sir,” Shen Ye’s eyes were red, as if he was trying to suppress his grief.

“Rhine is already destroyed. Why don’t you return to the rear of the Empire and find a place to live?” the officer said.

“No, sir, I want to stay on the battlefield,” Shen Ye said.

“Why?”

“I want to avenge everyone, until death.”

Shen Ye spoke with conviction, and given his young age, these words were very touching.

—I still need to find the assassin’s camp and claim my reward. Are you trying to send me away?

“You don’t seem very old. Why were you chosen as a messenger?”

The officer asked further.

This was both an identity check and a show of concern, planning for his future.

Shen Ye was startled and quickly reacted. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

“I run fast—no one in the entire Rhine County of my age runs faster than me.”

Shen Ye jumped off the stretcher and devoured the second “own person” trait.

This increased his attribute points by 3.

Total attribute points went from 4 to 7.

All 7 attribute points were added to the existing 2.9 points, resulting in 9.9 agility.

This was an unprecedented number.

“Sir, watch me run,” Shen Ye said with a sincere expression and a pleading tone.

“Okay, I’ll watch,” the officer said.

Shen Ye ran at full speed, rushing like a gale to the camp entrance, startling the guards.

He then ran back to the officer.

Then ran back to the entrance.

Then ran back again.

“Stop!” the officer quickly shouted.

Shen Ye stopped in front of him, panting heavily, and asked:

“Can I stay on the front lines?”

His armor was shattered beyond repair (carefully chosen by Big Skeleton), his body was covered in blood (from rolling around too much earlier, stained by various corpses), and his youthful face (15 years old! Only 15 years old!) combined with his deeply longing eyes (if he didn’t act like it a bit, he would be exposed, and exposure meant death), immediately moved everyone around him.

“Sir, let him stay. Let him avenge with us.”

“Yes, give him a chance.”

“The flame of Rhine cannot be extinguished like this, sir.”

“Let him come to us. I will take good care of him.”

“Such a good young man should go to the rear for further study, sir!”

“I think he’ll either be an assassin or a great knight someday.”

Everyone spoke at once.
