Chapter 22: Precious Images of Humans' Successfully Taming Zombies
The situation on the mainland is high in the north and low in the south.
The Hangu Mountains, which dominate the northernmost tip of the continent, hold up a corner of the sky in this other world. The melted water of thousands of years of black ice and snow flows out from the bottomless rift valley between the Hangu Mountains, first trickling.
The flow, then the rolling waves, finally rolled down with the critical momentum of the snow-capped mountains and plateaus, forming the Lion Heart River, the mother river of the empire that was several miles wide and spanned the continent.
If a traveler follows the source of the Lion Heart River down the river, he will first visit the mysterious dwarf country hidden deep in the Cold Bone Mountains, and then arrive at the northernmost tip of the empire, Beiwang County, where snow never melts all year round.
Then, along the way, we pass through the "Gap of Souls", a thousand-year-old danger in the empire that has never been conquered, the "Red Wall" soaked brick by brick with the blood and tears of our ancestors, and then the Mage Academy where the prestigious elite gathers, and the extremely luxurious city that has been managed for generations.
Covering the majestic imperial capital, and then riding horses on the plains of the southern part of the empire with an unobstructed view, you can see the wheat fields dotted in the major duchies, the iconic beech forests in the southern part of the empire, and the eternal guarding of the southern border of the empire.
One hundred and twenty arcane spires that have kept the demons out of the country for many years.
The undead infection area, which has been listed as a forbidden area for eight hundred years, is located on the west bank of the Lion Heart River - the north wind blowing from the Hangu Mountains flows southward along the flat and open river surface with almost no obstruction.
Therefore, when Junior Magister Victor Lowry raised his head slightly in a breeze from the north and sniffed the scent of the wind affectionately, what the octogenarian smelled was not only the smell of junipers and truffles in the nearby woods,
Perhaps there is also the refreshing atmosphere of the snowy mountains in the far north.
At that moment, Master Lowry thought of many things. Eighty years of wonderful life journey flashed before his dim eyes like a revolving lantern.
The young man's hard study, the painful first love he couldn't get, the boring years of locking himself in a tower to study magic, and the warm and generous hand extended by Duke Vincent Igor when he was completely desperate...
…
In an instant, Master Laurie had a fatalistic consciousness, and he realized that maybe the hardships and ups and downs in his life were just to make this fantastic scene appear in the world before him——
The sun sets and everything becomes golden.
Lord Eliot Igor took a wooden stick and threw it far away.
"Go!" the Lord Lord shouted.
Before he finished speaking, a dry, shriveled, and extremely ugly zombie jumped out from the edge of the field of vision, scurried over on all fours like a hound, and then picked up the wooden stick in its mouth.
"Good dog!" The Lord Lord took the wooden stick from the zombie's mouth, weighed it, and threw it out again with a wave of his hand.
So, the zombie once again embarked on a long journey to retrieve the stick.
That is its running under the sunset, that is its lost youth.
There were crowds of onlookers all around, but no one spoke, only the friends were left in shock.
This magical scene of "playing with zombies like dogs" has broken down everyone's psychological defenses.
At this moment, what attracts special attention is the Lord's right hand.
This slender and pale palm was covered with a thin layer of gray mist, exuding an unsettling ghostly aura around it;
However, the lord also wore a pure gold wrist wheel on his wrist. The red agate inlaid on the wrist wheel shone with a burning red light, thus reflecting the gray fog into an ambiguous pink.
"I think the effect of this bracelet is quite good." The Lord raised his palm and looked at it with satisfaction.
Time goes back five minutes.
Under the guidance of Master Laurie, Xia Houyan put the wrist wheel on his right wrist, then raised his arm and pointed the red agate on the wrist wheel at the zombie Dave in the cage. He felt as if he was using an anesthesia watch.
Detective Conan.
At first, nothing strange happened, and the lord's patience gradually began to wear thin.
But not long after, the red agate began to emit a faint light - this light became more and more dazzling, and finally reached the peak brightness at the third minute.
"This means that the 'Illusion Wristwheel' has successfully analyzed the magic rhythm of the ghostly magic in Dave's body!" Master Laurie transformed into a senior shopping guide and patiently explained the functions of his products, "Now, you can wear the 'Illusion Wristwheel'
All the magic released by the wrist's hand will also be adjusted to be in sync with Dave!"
"So, I can control Dave now?" Xia Houyan glanced at the ugly zombie in the cage that was drooling.
"Yes, please try your corpse control method again!" Master Laurie himself seemed very excited.
Xia Houyan recited the "Corpse Control Technique" spell again doubtfully - this time he was familiar with the process, and soon his right hand was wrapped again with the "grey glove" of netherworld magic.
However, under the blood-red halo of the "Illusion Wristwheel", this substantial mist of ghostly magic does look a little different.
And what happened next was nothing short of miraculous:
Under the stern instructions of the Lord, the zombie Dave in the cage suddenly stopped twisting and sat down cross-legged quietly in the center of the cage, as motionless as an old monk in trance.
Xia Houyan said to open his mouth, and Dave showed a mouth full of sharp yellow teeth;
When Xia Houyan said to jump, Dave jumped as high as he could in the cage;
Xia Houyan said to pee, and Dave raised one of his legs...
Xia Houyan quickly said forget it and don't move.
It seems that this guy really listens to me now? Xia Houyan rubbed the 'Illusion Wristwheel' and looked at the zombie in the cage with doubt.
Under the instructions of the Lord, the guards opened the cage door in fear and released Zombie Dave.
Of course, Captain Alice with her sword unsheathed and the Lord holding the crowbar were watching, fearing that this undead creature would not obey the order and make a surprise attack.
However, to everyone's great relief, there was no danger: after being released from the cage, Zombie Dave squatted in place motionless, looking pitifully at the lord with his rotten eyes.
Apart from not being very cute, this zombie is quite cute.
Later, the Lord's experiments became more and more bold: he moved his right hand wrapped in gray mist and gave zombie Dave one ridiculous command after another.
Under the instruction of the lord, Zombie Dave first performed a powerful JOJO stand, then sang "Grandma's Penghu Bay" with his hoarse and harsh voice, and even imitated MJ and did a few moonwalks.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the onlookers, Xia Houyan finally asked Dave to hold the hand of the bodyguard Tom Lawrence and dance a tango dance with a strong rhythm and full of dynamics!
Judging from Lawrence's expression of grief and anger, he probably wanted to kill the lord.
After some experiments, Xia Houyan has almost determined that he now has absolute control over Dave - as long as it is an action that he can conceive in his mind and is within the range of zombie Dave's body movement, Dave will do it.
Under the influence of the "Corpse Control Technique", it is executed 100% faithfully!
However, when everyone put Dave back into the cage, the Lord removed his corpse control skills, and after the gray mist on his hands dissipated, Dave in the cage immediately returned to his original state. He looked at the eyes of everyone outside the cage, and also
A voracious appetite returned.
"If you resurrect the zombies yourself, even if you remove the zombie control skills, they will obey you to a certain extent." Master Laurie shrugged helplessly, "The mechanism of the 'Illusion Wristwheel' is actually the magic power given to you.
Adding a layer of disguise doesn't really change the rhythm of the magic, so once you stop casting, the control will dissipate."
"That's enough!" Xia Houyan said excitedly, "As long as the wild zombies can be controlled within a period of time, it will be enough to escort the team out of the infected area!"
However, Master Lowry was not as happy and elated as before. Instead, after reading the experimental results, he seemed calmer.
He pondered for a long time and showed a bitter smile:
Chapter completed!
