A crow landed on the wall of the castle, looking around with its dark eyes, and saw several fishing poles and flower pots propped up on the arrow stacks.
A lich swordsman wearing soul armor sat there concentrating on fishing, pulling the rod from time to time.
Kong, who was so angry that he was cursing, must be the Mayor Locke that the townspeople were talking about.
This is a quiet and peaceful remote town. Listen to the conversations of the townspeople. This place has been under the rule of Mayor Locke a long time ago. The townspeople live and work in peace and contentment, with stable security and economic prosperity.
Some time ago, Mayor Locke also found someone to build a central teleportation array to strengthen the connection with Beifeng City. This move was unanimously considered to be a waste of money.
Why does a remote town need a central teleportation array? Look, it is deserted there now, and its usage rate is not high. Instead of spending several magic crystals to activate the teleportation array, the townspeople might as well walk to Beifeng City.
However, it is good to spend money. A prodigal lich is a real lich. Only those races with a limited life span and need to eat, drink and have sex will live their lives carefully.
The Lich, if it loses, it loses. It's not going to die of hunger anyway, so building something that is useless is more in line with Mayor Locke's character.
The crow noticed something moving with his peripheral vision. When he turned his head, he saw a cute and pink little girl touching towards it from the wall with her hands and feet, looking like she was about to pounce on her.
Seeing the crow turn its head, the little girl knew that she had been discovered, and immediately roared: "Ouch!" with her teeth and claws spread out, obviously to scare the crow.
The crow sighed helplessly, and flew up in a cooperating manner, showing a frightened posture. The crow must also conform to the "bird" design. If a crow cannot be scared away, is it still a bird?
An undead creature wearing a coir raincoat-like soul armor came out and shouted to the little girl: "Ouch!"
The little girl yelled and ran back.
Another undead creature wearing soul armor dragged an undead war horse out. While dragging it, he said: "You dead horse, let me ride it, let me ride it."
Another undead creature wearing soul armor formed a shovel in one hand and turned over the soil in the flower bed in the corner.
An alchemist wearing a magician's high collar, hat, cape, gloves, and mask came back with a bunch of alchemical prosthetics. After spotting the crow in the sky, he suddenly stopped and looked at the crow thoughtfully.
Crow only felt a thought sweep over his body.
Was it discovered? The crow was not in a hurry. It slowly flew up, then turned around and flew in another direction. The alchemist kept watching it during the whole process.
It's normal to be discovered, but it's strange not to be discovered. That means the undead creatures in this town are too weak.
Although it has a hostile relationship with the Warlock Alliance, the Undead Empire has no objection to warlocks, because undead creatures can also learn various warlock spells, and because of their longevity, their foundations are often stronger than humans.
However, warlocks are more about creativity and have never been the mainstream among undead creatures. Now this warlock is already quite powerful.
From the mayor to the residents, even the warlocks are undead, there is absolutely no way this town is a hiding place for the lackeys of the light.
After coming to this conclusion, a large group of crows flew up from all over the town and flew quietly to the next village.
Seeing the crows leaving, a small yellow book flew up from Ange's body and opened its pages.
On the page of the book, a giant brass dragon's claws patted the head of a corpse dragon that was a few circles smaller: "Did you see it? Did you see it? The Dream Banshee was also deceived by us. Did you see it?"
The body of Negris is more than 50 meters, while the body of Dracolich is only 18 meters. The gap is as big as a monitor lizard and a chameleon. Dracolich was slapped by it and shrank into a ball: "I know, I know, you are really awesome.
, who are you?"
Nigris curled his lips: "You might not believe it even if I tell you, but we are the people of the immortal god."
"Believe it, believe it, you are the people of the Immortal God, and you are also the Pope of the Church of Light. You are so awesome. Light and darkness are one, just like a knight novel. You are really good at it." Dragon Lich said with a sarcastic look.
It can only be said that this dracolich is not very tactful in character. Under such circumstances, he dared to act strangely and was stepped on by Nigris. In the Book of Brass, Nigris is the master.
After it was 'convinced', Nigris asked: "What is the identity of this nightmare banshee? Why was it sent here? Does it have any special abilities?"
"It can make people have nightmares and then steal information from dreams. It was just observing you just now, but in fact, the collection of information has long been completed in ordinary people's dreams. It may have just left because it found nothing.
"Dragon Lich said.
Anthony frowned: "Ai Guli! No, if the Banshee is so powerful, why do some villages with all light believers exist? Let the Banshee go around and dig out all those villages."
Dracolich curled his lips: "What you said is just like 'you can buy a manor after five hundred years of hard work'. It's all bullshit. Do you know how many villages there are in the entire plane? Even if you check one per month, you can check them all.
It will take thousands of years to finish, do you want to exhaust the banshee to death?"
Anthony frowned: "Why do you have to check one item a month, one item a day, and it takes more than thirty years to complete the investigation?"
"...You humans are so terrible. It's cruel to work for just one or two days a month. You actually want them to work every day for more than thirty years?" Dracolich couldn't help scolding him.
The number of banshees of misfortune is too small, only a few. Stealing information in dreams is not very easy. If you want to conduct a large-scale investigation, it will be impossible to investigate the villages in the entire plane without tens or even hundreds of years. This is what I want to do.
I want the banshee’s life.
If the investigation takes too long, such as three to five hundred years, the population will not be updated for how many generations, which is completely meaningless.
In addition to villages, what about cities? How to investigate a city with a population of tens of thousands?
When the time comes when the believers of light are forced to sneak into the city, it would be better to let them live in their own settlements, as long as they don't cause big troubles.
Anthony nodded in agreement: "That's right. The reason for the desert is that there are few villages and towns. It only takes a few days to scan it. Mr. Naige, please give it a beating."
Dragon Lich was shocked: "What? Of course you want to beat him too?"
Anthony nodded: "It's a matter of attitude, beat me up."
After being beaten severely, Anthony said: "You can find someone to protect you, so that you don't have to be beaten at any time."
Anthony has almost finished asking all the questions he wants to know, and he can be killed or establish a soul connection.
Ange has no interest in adding new soul connections, so the Dracolich can only choose to dedicate his soul to the little zombie.
"Alas - alas - alas -" After stuffing the soul that had established a soul connection back into the body, the Dracolich Gadrigo lay there and sighed.
It was too shameful for a dignified Dracolich to dedicate his soul to an unknown person. Its last owner was at least the speaker of the Parliament of the Undead and one of the top figures in the Undead Empire.
But it miscalculated, and something even worse happened. The little zombie dragged a large wooden frame over and put it on Gadrigo's body.
"What do you want to do?" Gadrigo suddenly had an ominous premonition.
The little zombie set up the wooden frame, then pointed at the plow next to it: "Ouch!"
What a waste if the Lich Dragon, which is almost twenty meters long, is not used to pull plows for plowing.
Ange has fully activated its body, and there are no traces of the former dracolich on its appearance. Even if someone sees it now, they will not associate it with the corpse that Ange robbed.
So around Shenyun Town and the dam irrigation area, you can see a twenty-meter-long dragon from time to time, dragging a row of plow birches and crawling past with a sigh.
Because of its size, it can drag twelve plows at a time, working twenty-four hours a day, thirty days a month, all year round, and successfully leads a "cruel" life.
Now it doesn't say that humans are cruel, the little zombies are even more cruel than humans.
The only advantage is that the little zombie will share its soul energy with it through soul connection, so that it can devote itself to work full of energy. After a period of time, its soul has solidified a lot.
…
A month has passed, and the last crow has left Beifeng City, and the Banshee has found nothing.
After investigating the town of Shen Yun, the Emen Banshee investigated all the places in the entire desert. Even Abbott in the Stone Chamber Cemetery had seen crows.
However, the lonely Abbott failed to attract the attention of the crow and did not stop there. It was looking for the stronghold of the Church of Light, not a homeless man in the desert.
Finally, all the crows gathered in Beifeng City. In the next period of time, the people in Beifeng City were more likely to have nightmares.
Unfortunately, the Emen Banshee could not find any information about the stronghold of the Church of Light, nor did she find any suspicious traces. In the end, she could only infer that the two six-winged archangels and the Pope were just passing by.
After the last crow left, Feiwo and Yinbi's tense hearts relaxed.
…
Underground in Shenyun Town, Ange, who had taken the opportunity to reclaim all the land in Shenyun Town and the dam irrigation area, was about to extend into the desert when he was called back for a meeting and listened to Yin Coin and Feiwo's work report in boredom.
"The warlock ladder in Beifeng City has now risen to an altitude of 10,000 meters and is hovering there. The Dracolich harasses them from time to time, but there is nothing that can be done about it. The current situation is that the two sides have fallen into a strategic stalemate, fighting for
The focus turns to the people."
"The warlock ladder comes down during the day to distribute food and exchange supplies, and goes up at night to guard against sneak attacks."
"The Council of the Undead also sent a large number of undead creatures to suppress bandits at various traffic arteries and disaster areas to maintain order and robbed the former Warlock Alliance of their jobs." Silver Coin reported.
The arrival of the Warlock Alliance has objectively saved the order of the surface world. In the era of small-scale peasant economy, as long as order is maintained, large-scale disasters will not occur.
To maintain order, we need to have food, no disease, and no fighting.
There is still food, but because of the breakdown of order and local food shortages, places with food panic hoard and hesitate to sell it, which has led to many tragedies.
The arrival of the Warlock Alliance has stabilized food prices and maintained order.
Their arrival also accelerated the operation of the slow and cumbersome Undead Empire.
If there was no threat from the Warlock Alliance, those high-level undead creatures who felt cruel even if they only had to work for one day a month would probably have to wait until all the living creatures died before they could react.
"In a sense, the two parties have reached a balanced cooperative relationship, working together to maintain the order of the surface world while competing for the support of the nobles and landowners."
