Chapter 487: Emissary of the Royal Skeleton Family
The skeleton archmage turned around and saw a figure wearing a black robe just like him.
However, the difference was that this person’s black robe was embroidered with a golden skull.
Seeing this scene.
The flames in the skeleton archmage’s eyes jumped twice.
However, he did not continue to run away. Instead, he directly knelt down towards that person.
The skeleton archmage suppressed the panic in his heart and said, “Greetings, Royal Envoy!”
That’s right.
The person who came was the same as him. They were both from the skeleton clan.
Moreover, he was an envoy from the royal skeleton family.
The golden skull on the black robe was proof of that.
There were many branches of the royal skeleton family that were spread throughout the Underworld.
In order to prevent any of the branches from betraying the royal clan, they would naturally send envoys to all places to check.
And this person was the envoy of the royal family.
But why would the envoy of the royal family appear here?
Could his words have been heard by the envoy?
Thinking of this...
The skeleton archmage could not stop the fear in his heart.
The hierarchy of the skeleton family was very strict.
As a subordinate of the Death Spirit King, he actually said that he wanted to replace the Death Spirit King.
This was an extremely serious crime in the royal skeleton family!
Even if the Death Spirit King was already dead, his words were unforgivable!
If the emissary heard everything, he would be in danger!
But it was impossible for him to escape.
The emissaries of the royal skeleton family all had the power of a highgod at the very least.
With his power as a demigod, it was completely unrealistic for him to escape.
Right now, he could only hope that the envoys of the royal clan didn’t hear him.
The skeleton archmage nervously knelt on the ground.
Before the envoys spoke, he didn’t dare to make the slightest movement, much less stand up.
Soon, the envoys of the royal clan spoke.
“What are you thanking the God of the Dead for?”
The envoys of the royal clan asked.
Hearing his words...
The skeleton archmage heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the royal envoy had only heard his last sentence.
However, he still needed to answer the royal envoy’s question.
The death of their branch king was something that could not be concealed. The royal family would find out sooner or later, and he was thanking the God of the Dead for his favor.
If there was a mistake in his answer, there would still be a great risk.
However, this was not a problem for the skeleton archmage. He quickly thought of an explanation.
He said, “Messenger, the king of our branch is dead.”
The skeleton archmage put on an extremely sad expression.
When the royal messenger heard this, he did not show any anger.
Instead, he asked with great interest, “Oh? The king of your branch is dead?”
“And you thank the God of the Dead for his favor?”
“You don’t know how great a crime it is to betray the royal skeleton family, do you?”
Upon hearing the royal envoy’s words, the skeleton archmage was stunned.
The envoy’s reaction was completely contrary to what he had imagined.
He thought that the royal envoy would be very angry and clamor that he would be sentenced to death.
But now, it seemed that the royal envoy was not angry at all.
However, the skeleton archmage quickly realized that this was not a bad thing for him.
The skeleton archmage continued to tell the lie that he had prepared:
“Envoy, I did not betray the king.”
“I thank the God of the Dead for his favor, and it was not because of the fall of the king.”
“Although our branch has been destroyed, it’s a good thing that I survived with great difficulty.”
“This also allows me to inform the royal family of the news I know.”
“The news I know will definitely make the royal family stronger!”
The skeleton great mage finished speaking.
The royal family’s emissary asked, “What news?”
“Will make the royal family of the skeleton stronger?”
The skeleton archmage could not help but feel proud.
This coincidence of meeting the royal envoy should have been a crisis for him.
However, he was able to turn the crisis into luck.
He continued, “This time, it was an undead army that destroyed our branch.”
“Originally, we had already been fighting against the undead army for decades.”
“The undead army’s strength is far inferior to our skeleton clan. Other than the fact that they have two kings and one of the kings is an undead dragon, there is nothing special about them. Therefore, we did not pay too much attention to them.”
“But a while ago, a helper suddenly appeared in the undead army!”
“It’s an entire army of giant dragons!”
“There are dozens of giant dragons!”
“Four of them are terrifying demigod dragons whose power far surpasses that of ordinary demigod dragons!”
“And most importantly, these giant dragons aren’t undead dragons, nor are they dead dragons!”
“They are living dragons!”
The skeletal great mage had thought that the royal envoy would be very surprised after he finished speaking.
But it was different from what he had thought.
The royal envoy did not seem to be interested in this.
He just casually asked, “A dragon that suddenly appeared?”
“Very good. If your information is true, you will be rewarded.”
“Oh right, which branch are you from?”
Although the royal envoy did not seem to be excited, for the skeleton great mage, as long as he was not executed, it was enough.
The skeleton great mage said, “Reporting to the envoy, I am from the Death God Valley branch!”
The flames in the eyes of the royal envoy swirled, as if he was reminiscing.
“Death God Valley?”
“Is it a branch under Harold?”
The skeleton archmage replied, “Yes, Emissary.”
At this point, the Skeleton Archmage’s heart had completely relaxed.
He had completely overcome this small crisis.
After arriving at the imperial city, he only needed to wait until he had informed His Majesty Harold of the news of the deathgod artifact.
It would not be a problem for His Majesty Harold to reward him with the position of a branch king of the undead.
As for letting him keep the deathgod artifact all to himself?
That was impossible.
With his strength as a demigod, it was impossible for him to keep the death artifact all to himself!
It wasn’t just him.
In his opinion, even if the Death Spirit King wanted to keep the deathgod artifact all to himself, it would be a foolish decision.
In the Underworld.
Not all death artifacts were found by the strong.
There were also many who were found by those who were weaker.
But in this long period of time, the skeleton archmage had never heard of a single deathgod artifact being in the hands of a weakling.
It could be said that those who were able to control a deathgod artifact were at least peak highgod experts!
And they had to be peak highgod experts from top-tier major powers!
In most major powers, those who were able to control a deathgod artifact were all experts with the power of a sovereign!
If he was allowed to keep the deathgod artifact for himself, even if he could obtain it, he wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of being killed and robbed by others.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to contribute the news of the deathgod artifact.
Change the position of the king of the undead to another branch!
The skeleton archmage was thinking about this, his heart filled with anticipation for the future.
Right at this moment.
The royal envoy spoke once more.
“What is this deathgod artifact you are talking about?”
