Rody’s face turned into a pale white. He looked at the skeleton that just spoke in a human’s voice, and he was about to scream!
“You… you... you… you…” Rody could feel his mouth trembling. It was understandable. Most people would be scared to death if a skeleton suddenly appeared in front of them and started talking in the middle of the night.
“Who are… you?” Gathering a bit of courage, Rody completed his sentence.
“Who?” The jaw of the skeleton moved, “Do you think I am a person?”
Rody moved away a little, a bit to its side. Only God knows if this thing has any malice. “In that case, what are you?” Although his mouth was doing the asking, Rody’s eyes was looking at the sword on the floor. It would be great if he could get the sword.
“Do you want the sword?” The skeleton’s voice made Rody jump. Without thinking, he reflexively asked, “How did you know?”
The skeleton stretched out its hand, picked up the sword and gently tossed it over.
Rody grabbed the sword without difficulty and immediately took a defensive posture.
“Are you planning to fight me?” The skeleton looked at Rody and slowly asked.
Honestly, Rody felt his legs going limp but he still gritted his teeth and asked, “What are you?”
“I am Andy, just a human skeleton!” The skeleton’s voice was flat as he continued, “You are too weak, it is better if you don’t attempt to fight me.”
“Andy? A skeleton can also have a name?” Rody could hardly believe his ears.
“Why not?” The skeleton’s voice was somewhat dissatisfied, “Why can’t skeletons have names? My name is given to me by my master. Therefore, there is nothing wrong about it! Everything my master does is correct!”
“Master?” Rody asked, “In that case, who is your master? Is your master Miss Nicole?”
“Who is Nicole? My master’s name is not Nicole…” The skeleton’s voice was not loud but the next few words almost made Rody jump in surprise.
“My master’s name is Dandong!” The skeleton said.
Dandong?
As in 'Sage Dandong'?
Is this some kind of big joke?
That Sage Dandong left behind a talking skeleton, a skeleton with a name?
Rody had heard that a powerful sorcerer or magician would be able to manipulate objects. There were also rumors of a sorcerer in the northern part of the Roland continent who could manipulate skeleton soldiers.
However, if it was a talking, thinking skeleton, chances are that nobody in this world has seen it before.
If it was really one of the ‘things’ left behind by the Great Sage Dandong, (Rody was unable to treat it as a ‘person’) then the skeleton would be at least 200 years old, right?
Even if a spell could make this thing move, even if the Great Sage could make the skeleton walk and talk, it would be strange if the spell had not worn out after 200 years!
Thinking like this, Rody turned pale with a scary thought! This thought truly frightened him.
Perhaps the skeleton was not manipulated with magic. (The spell would have dissipated 200 years ago)
Then the only remaining possibility is that, the skeleton is already alive! It is a living creature!
My God!
A living creature! Dandong created a living skeleton!
Rody’s face was already white as he stared at the skeleton known as Andy.
“You… you were created by Dandong?” Rody took a deep breath and asked. He emphasised the word ‘created.’
“Yes.”
