"No, it's too late. This guy ran too fast and was out of sight."
"On the right! He went to the tomb on the right!"
"Hahahaha! I fucking know there must be something hidden in this place!"
……
Just as he got closer, Old Bones heard a burst of shouts and wild laughter.
When you get closer, you can clearly see a group of guys dressed as adventurers, who are being chased by a large group of undead creatures and easily tear open a hole, as if they are chasing someone.
Although the undead creatures have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, the adventurers are obviously stronger.
Especially the heavily armored warriors responsible for the assault all held weapons with high enchantment levels in their hands, and they were also suspected to be smeared with holy water, holy oil and the like, which could cause extra damage to undead creatures.
Among them, the cleave and powerful cleave under level suppression can often clear out several or even a dozen low-level undead around them with lightning speed.
Priests, mages and warlocks took advantage of their ability to attack in large areas and harvested the corpses that had been awakened and controlled without hesitation.
There is no doubt that this is not a plot in which adventurers are besieged by monsters, but a crushing situation in which adventurers are harvesting undead creatures unscrupulously.
And these adventurers are none other than one of the players who entered E-Rantel.
As the monsters and beasts in the surrounding forests were almost extinct, some of them returned to the city stronghold to see if they could find anything else to do.
In this process, the cemetery that occupies almost a quarter of the area in E-Rantel City was inevitably targeted.
Since the fortress city is located on the border of the Kingdom, Empire and Theocracy, large-scale wars often break out around it, and the bodies of fallen soldiers naturally need a place to bury them.
Of course, this is not because the nobles of the kingdom are so kind and do not want their own or enemy soldiers to die in the wilderness.
But in a world filled with magical energy, abandoned corpses can easily be transformed into undead under the influence of negative energy, or they can be awakened and utilized by necromancers.
Therefore, it has become a task that must be completed to gather together for burial, care, and arrange for personnel to regularly dispel negative energy.
Otherwise, it is very easy for low-level undead creatures to break out near the battlefield, or even be organized by thoughtful people to launch sieges on villages and towns.
In this regard, it is the same whether it is Innistrad, Faerûn, or other worlds with relatively abundant magical power.
If you dare not bury the corpses properly today, then these corpses will get up and bury your whole family.
Under this very real threat, any normal person would know how to deal with it.
However, for curious players, such a complex maze-like underground tomb area will inevitably become a paradise for adventure.
First of all, a large number of funerary objects can be stolen and sold to black market merchants, and converted into precious metal currency in this world;
Secondly, if you encounter any monsters during exploration, you can naturally kill them and turn them into experience points that can improve your level;
Last but not least, several of these players have chosen mages who specialize in the necromancy system, and even during the upgrade process, they have chosen advanced professions like the Pale Lord that greatly enhance necromancy magic. p>
So they want to occupy this cemetery and turn the massive corpses and skeletons into undead under their control, and then build a secret base.
What a coincidence that a native of this world also had a similar plan.
His name is Kajit Dell Badantir, and he is one of the twelve disciples of the famous evil magic organization "Zhilanon".
For many years, this guy has been secretly collecting negative energy, planning to set off an undead natural disaster to destroy the entire E-Rantel.
As expected, the "Mars hitting the Earth" event occurred.
At the very beginning, this Khajiit wanted to go on a killing spree and kill all the players who discovered this secret.
But during the fight, I discovered that the opponent's combat power and spellcasting level were many times higher than my own, and he often started with spells that were comparable to the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels.
After finally awakening the resurrected undead creature, it was killed completely in less than a minute.
Even if he summoned a bone dragon as a trump card, he couldn't hold on for long before he was torn into pieces.
Terrified, he quickly used his familiarity with the catacombs to escape.
After all, the enemy is so powerful, why not just stay and wait to die?
Especially the ferocious, bloodthirsty, and excited looks on the players' faces, as if they were looking at a piece of delicious fat meat. There is no fear that normal people should have when encountering undead creatures.
What's even more frightening is that Khajiit's control over the undead creatures was snatched away by the opponent in an instant.
This is a situation he has never encountered in his life.
The explosion of negative energy just perceived by the outside world was the effect caused by Khajiit's use of the high-level item [Orb of Death].
Obviously, with the participation and interference of players, everything in this world has gradually begun to deviate from its original trajectory.
What’s even more frightening is that this butterfly effect is still spreading in an extremely violent way to form a storm that destroys everything.
"Supreme Supreme! Those adventurers seem to be very similar to the guys we observed before."
Sebastian quickly gave his judgment.
After all, players are characterized by being bold and fearless, not taking death seriously at all, and often do things that are almost crazy in the eyes of normal people, so they are often very easy to identify.
If you were a local advanced adventurer, when you encounter an undead creature of this size, your first reaction would definitely not be to rush forward to confront it, but rather to collect intelligence to understand the enemy's situation and then decide what action to take.
Otherwise, once you encounter some high-level undead that you cannot handle, your entire army may be wiped out.
This is the biggest difference between having only one life and countless lives when facing potential dangers.
Old Bones twitched violently in his heart, and couldn't help holding his forehead and complaining: "Ah! I can see this without you having to tell me. But are all the adventurers in this world so brave and not afraid of death? Theirs
The mental state is simply that of a group of lunatics."
"Um... maybe the culture of this country is more martial?"
Sebastian's tone was filled with strong uncertainty.
As one of the few NPCs with normal views in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, he simply couldn't understand where the players' obviously overly excited spirits came from.
"This cannot be explained by martial arts. Moreover...the behavior of these adventurers is their style, and I always feel that it seems a bit familiar."
Old Bones touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Just when he was puzzled, a dazzling light suddenly fell from the sky, turning the entire sky above the cemetery into daylight.
The next second...
Boom!!!!!!!!!
An explosion that cannot be described in words, accompanied by a positive energy impact that makes all undead creatures feel despair, swept everything around.
All the awakened undead nearby exploded from the inside one after another, turning into balls of golden fire and bone powder.
Sebastian immediately stood in front of Old Bones, successfully blocking the weak damage that might be caused by the spreading positive energy.
After everything was over, Old Bones took a breath and felt cold all over, and his hands and feet were cold.
Because if he had leaned over and taken a look just now, he would probably have been wiped out like those low-level undead.
There is no doubt that this is [Sun Flame Explosion] which is the most effective against undead creatures among the eight-ring arcane magic.
A certain senior mage player felt that there were too many undead pouring out of the darkness and were as annoying as flies, so he decisively released this magic to clear the area.
The result was that most of the undead army that Khajiit had finally awakened was wiped out in this single blow.
Especially the other bone dragon, which was also blasted to pieces by the dazzling positive energy, without even having time to make an attack.
Obviously, such targeted spells that can kill a large number of undead creatures in an instant, and even high-level undead such as vampires and lichs cannot be spared, are naturally impossible to appear in online games.
Otherwise, players who choose the undead race will be directly pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly, without even the slightest chance to stand up.
Although players who are fully leveled in the Tree World game played by Old Bones usually have some ability to be immune to low-level physical or magical damage.
But in essence, it is similar to the damage reduction and spell immunity of some creatures in Faerûn. They cannot withstand the attack of [Sunfire Explosion] at all.
For example, the barbarian profession can gain one point of damage reduction at LV7, and this will increase to five points at LV19.
The reduction of some demons, demons, and celestial beings can reach fifteen, twenty or even higher.
This means that even without any physical or magical defense means, if the damage caused by ordinary people and low-level professionals does not exceed the reduction value, this attack will be completely ineffective.
Another word that is easier to understand is "no defense", which is blocked by tough skin, muscles or invisible protective force fields.
And magic invalidation is even simpler. You can directly start from level 0 to level 2 or level 3 to be completely immune, and spells will have no effect at all.
This is very clearly reflected in many demon lords and devil dukes.
As the prince of hell, the lord of the ninth level, a great devil with a unique form, and with the additional blessings of various divine powers, Zuo Si himself has up to forty points of physical damage reduction, and complete immunity from zero to five-ring spells. p>
Only weapons with refining silver and good characteristics can offset part of the physical damage reduction and cause higher damage, thereby achieving the effect of "breaking defense".
Therefore, Old Bones' physical defense and immunity are not as exaggerated as many people imagine, it is just that he has not been directly hit by a powerful enough enemy.
Although he didn't know what kind of spell [Yangyan Explosion] was, he initially judged that it should be at least the ninth or even tenth level, and immediately said in a very solemn tone: "It seems that there are many special techniques for undead creatures in this world.
What about the powerful magic. From now on, we must be extremely careful in our actions, and we must not let the other party discover the existence of the Great Tomb of Nazarick."
"Understood! I will contact other guardians immediately and remind them to be vigilant when inquiring about information."
Sebastian put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply.
After all, the cannon fodder of the entire guild's internal defense system is basically either these undead that can be produced infinitely or some bugs and alien creatures.
"Remember the appearance of those adventurers.
Tomorrow we will take out one or two magic items as bait and try to hire them to serve us.
In this way, you can get a lot of information.
As for now, let us go back first.
After all, appearing in a cemetery in the middle of the night is not what the characters we are playing at the moment should do."
After saying that, Old Bones immediately used teleportation magic and disappeared with his men.
He didn't notice at all that as soon as he stepped forward, a thief lurking nearby slowly walked out of the shadows, his eyes flashing with teasing and amusement.
Since players have the advantage of information sharing, from the moment Old Bones disguised himself and left the Great Tomb of Nazarick, his whereabouts were exposed to the sight of all players.
Not only the pair of him and Sebastian, but also the other groups such as Soliuxiang, Shalltear, Narberal, Yuri, etc., all have people responsible for keeping an eye on them.
As soon as the time comes, players will immediately launch a surprise attack to kill these high-level enemies that can provide massive experience points and valuable loot.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In order to prevent Old Bones from continuing his battle of wits and courage with the air, Zuo Sike took great pains to arrange an exciting and climax-filled script.
This time, what he will face is not just the local indigenous people with only a small amount of high-end combat power, but a group of players who are like wolves and tigers.
After chasing for most of the night, Khajiit finally managed to escape by relying on his familiarity with the terrain and the teleportation circle set up in advance, and did not die at the hands of the players.
However, at this moment, he had multiple injuries on his body, and even large areas had signs of being burned or corroded by strong acid.
You don’t need to ask to know that these are the results of being hit by instant spells or enchanted arrows.
If the body had not been transformed into a semi-undead by the erosion of negative energy, a normal person would have gone into shock due to severe pain and excessive blood loss, or died on the spot.
"Damn bastards! Where did these guys come from?"
Khajiit leaned against the wall and slurred loudly, with an unconcealable look of horror in his eyes.
Especially [Yangyan Explosion] left deep fear and despair in the soul.
Because he knows that with the power and terror of this spell, no matter how many undead creatures are summoned, it will be in vain.
Even if the corpses in all the tombs in E-Rantel are awakened, it only takes a few [Sunfire Explosions] to kill them all without leaving any one behind.
"Oh my, you are really in such a mess, my dear Kaji-chan."
Accompanied by the ups and downs of teasing, a woman in a black cloak slowly walked out of the darkness.
She has blond shawl hair and blood-red pupils. Under her cloak, she wears a slightly revealing armor made of countless adventurer metal nameplates. One of her hands is always pressed on the hilt of the rapier, as if at any time
They will turn into a bolt of lightning and rush forward to launch a surprise attack.
"Clementine!"
Khajiit called out the name of his partner who joined the same organization as him, and a look of caution appeared on his face.
Maybe others would regard her as a sexy and lovely woman, but he knew very well that this guy was a pervert, who loved to torture, kill and torture prisoners. He was an out-and-out devil.
He was originally the ninth seat of the Theocracy's "Dark Canon", but later chose to betray him due to some unknown reasons.
Although the two were in the same organization and were even partners, Khajiit knew very well that as long as she was negligent in the slightest, this crazy bitch would not hesitate to dig out her heart and brain.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Tell me, what happened to you? You actually escaped like a lost dog?"
Clementine approached slowly with light steps.
When Khajiit heard this, he immediately shivered involuntarily and replied with a voice full of fear: "Yes... they are a group of lunatics!
A group of unimaginably powerful lunatics!
They are simply scarier than my teacher!
When they saw the bone dragons and undead creatures I summoned, their first reaction was not to be afraid, but to rush forward with excitement.
Everything I worked so hard to prepare at E-Rantel Cemetery was ruined."
"What? A group of powerful lunatics? Are you sure you weren't blinded and hallucinating?"
Clementine narrowed her eyes with a puzzled expression.
She couldn't believe that the ambitious Khajiit, who had never been afraid of anything, would actually show such an expression that he had seen a ghost.
"Hallucination? Look at these injuries on my body! And the negative energy that has been consumed in this Death Orb! Is this also something that hallucination can do?"
Khajiit asked sternly like crazy.
The man who had narrowly escaped death was obviously frightened, and his whole body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
"How strong are those lunatics?"
Realizing that the other party was not joking, Clementine finally became a little more serious.
Khajiit replied without thinking: "Very powerful!
They can even perform magic comparable to that of the ninth level!
In addition, although those warriors did not show any martial arts skills, they were able to easily confront the bone dragon head-on without losing.
If it were you, you might be able to take advantage of the speed to gain some advantage in the beginning.
But when the martial arts effect disappears, you will soon be crushed by the opponent, and you will have no power to fight back.
I think E-Rantel's death spiral plan must be temporarily stopped and the situation of those madmen should be reported to the superiors immediately.
This is no longer something we can participate in."
"You mean to retreat without even doing reconnaissance and intelligence collection?
This makes it difficult for me to handle.
After all, organizations always hate losers.
I don’t want to end up being added to the list that needs to be dealt with because of your involvement.”
When she said these words, Clementine's tone was obviously warning and threatening.
Khajiit's face changed drastically after hearing this.
Just when he wanted to defend himself, a low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.
"If you feel embarrassed, then why don't you try to change your position and camp?
As it happens, I just need the help of some people who are familiar with this world.
If you are willing to take the initiative to seek refuge, I can consider satisfying some of your desires and wishes.
There is no need to worry about possible retaliation and pursuit by the Zhilanong organization.
Because...
If they dare to come, I guarantee that as many as they come will die."
As the last word blurted out, an indescribable coldness instantly enveloped the surrounding air.
Whether it's Khajiit or Clementine, they all feel like they can't move their bodies.
No!
Wrong!
Not the body!
But the soul!
Their souls seemed to be captured by some powerful force in an instant, and then slowly dragged out, leaving their original bodies little by little.
The feeling of being unable to resist or escape at all, and could only watch death coming, made both of them struggle like crazy.
But no matter how hard you try, it’s in vain.
Finally, when the soul completely left the body, they finally saw a middle-aged and elderly man wearing a gorgeous magic robe walking out of the darkness.
Although his appearance is no different from that of a living person, Khajit, who has dealt with the undead and negative energy for a long time, is still keenly aware that the opponent's body contains shocking negative energy, which is much stronger than the Orb of Death he used.
times.
Immortal?
He carefully guessed in his heart.
The moment the mysterious man took off his hood, the majestic and iconic face of Shane VII was finally revealed.
Ever since he learned that a large number of undead and people using necromancy magic had been found in the cemetery area of E-Rantel, the demilich immediately became interested and rushed over immediately to see the necromancy in this world.
What's so great about magic?
As a result, I happened to find a conversation between the two masterminds behind the scenes.
Out of curiosity about the Zhilanong organization, he showed up and wanted to recruit the two leading parties under his command.
"You...what kind of monster are you? What have you done to us?"
Clementine asked with a trembling voice.
As a warrior, she experienced for the first time the helplessness of her soul being separated from her body, and now she was in a state of bewilderment.
Because without a body, she could hardly do anything, let alone resist.
Xia En VII stared with interest at the prisoner whose mental state was obviously distorted, and replied with a smile: "I didn't actually do anything, I just used my natural magic ability to capture your souls.
In the past, I would have eaten your souls directly as snacks.
But now that people are about to be hired, I urgently need to recruit some subordinates who are familiar enough with this world to launch the second phase of the operation.
So you are lucky to have the opportunity to choose."
"You...you can capture and devour souls?!"
Khajiit opened his mouth in shock.
Unlike Clementine, who is a warrior, he knows very well what it means to capture souls and devour souls.
Any spell that involves the soul must at least start at the sixth level, while capturing and devouring souls usually requires spells at the eighth or even tenth level.
This also means that the mysterious man in front of him has a higher spellcasting level and powerful magical power than his teacher, the leader of the Zhilanon Organization.
"Is this difficult? For me, using this ability is as easy as eating and drinking."
As he spoke, Xia En VII's eyes began to flash with a strange light, and he raised his hand and made a gentle grasping motion.
Instantly!
Affected, Clementine let out a heartbreaking wail.
The kind of pain that directly affects the soul is simply not comparable to any physical punishment.
Fortunately!
Shane VII was just for show of power, so it didn't last too long.
When it was over, this woman who took pleasure in killing was like a helpless girl who had just been fucked by a dozen big men. She curled up into a ball and shivered, with deep fear and horror in her eyes.
But Xia En VII didn't care.
After all, Clementine is just a low-level warrior and does not have much value.
His real target is Khajiit, and the leader of the Zhiranon organization behind him.
"I...I am willing to surrender to you!"
Khajiit is undoubtedly a smart man who understands current affairs and made his choice with almost no hesitation.
The reason is also very simple.
His original purpose of joining the Zhilanon organization and frantically researching necromancy was to resurrect his mother who died of illness.
So in this man's heart, as long as he can achieve this goal, it doesn't matter who he relies on or who he serves.
Xia En VII nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! I like smart people!"
After that, he recycled the other person's soul and stuffed it into his body again.
Just a second later, Khajiit struggled to stand up from the ground, knelt on the ground and swore allegiance to his new master.
When he kissed the ring on the back of the other person's hand, he found to his disbelief that the enchantment level of these magic rings was so high that it far exceeded the limit of his knowledge.
Especially one of the magic storage rings that stores nine rings of magic. Just the aura that it exudes unintentionally makes this spellcaster who is equivalent to "Dual Cultivation of Sinnoh" and whose total level is equivalent to LV11 in Faerun Continent, emerge.
Infinite admiration and adoration.
At this moment, Khajiit firmly believed that as long as he served the powerful new master in front of him, resurrecting his mother would be a piece of cake.
In contrast, Clementine seemed to have been stimulated by something that caused psychological and mental problems.
When her soul returned to her body, she hugged her knees and seemed to be sobbing in a low voice. She was not at all like the sick and crazy person she usually showed, and she refused to take the initiative to speak.
Upon seeing this, Khajit immediately raised his head and explained in a low voice: "Clementine was once captured when she was performing a mission in the Black Scripture, and suffered repeated violations and cruel torture for a long time. Since then,
Her spirit was severely traumatized, and she became twisted, sick, cruel, and murderous."
"Have personality defects? It's really troublesome! Forget it, it's easier to control it by transforming into an undead creature."
Saying that, Xia En VII raised his hand and cast a transformation of necromantic magic.
He raised his hand and pointed lightly, and Clementine's body was instantly wrapped in a large ball of black negative energy, and her whole body let out a miserable cry.
After witnessing all this, Khajiit felt his scalp numb and did not dare to look at his partner's miserable state at this moment.
About a few minutes later, Clementine, who looked completely normal except for her pale skin and attractive red lips, walked straight out of the negative energy group and bowed elegantly to Shane VII.
Bow.
"Great Master, thank you for giving me a new life."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
As the last word blurted out, she grinned and showed her trademark "funny" smile.
Two of the sharp protruding teeth prove its current status as a vampire from the side.
Not only that!
The powerful physical improvement of undead transformation has given Clementine a much stronger combat power than before.
"From now on, you will follow Khajit and be responsible for assisting him in some work."
Xia En VII issued the order without hesitation.
Although Clementine obviously resisted this, she was obviously unable to resist the former's control. She could only nod her head unwillingly: "I understand. I will follow your instructions in everything."
In this way, under the leadership of Xia En VII, the duo quickly returned to the cemetery area in the city.
After communicating with the players who occupied this place, Clementine and Khajiit finally gained a foothold again.
Especially when the two saw the respectful attitude of those powerful and fearless players towards Xia En VII, they immediately realized that the new master they had taken refuge in might be implementing some unknown and shocking plans.
.
The player whose origin is unknown is his vital chess piece.
After figuring this out, Khajiit immediately started the dog-licking mode, doing his best to please Shane VII, telling everything he knew, and selling out the Zhilanong Organization. p>
But the good thing is that he got a magic storage ring that can store seven levels of magic, and a lot of magic knowledge from Faerun as a reward, and the whole person was instantly immersed in endless ecstasy.
You must know that when you work for the Zhilanon Organization, such top-notch magical knowledge and power are not easily passed on to others.
But now it's easy to get it.
Comparing the two, even a fool knows who to choose to be loyal to.
On the other side, Clementine, who became a vampire, began to capture bandits, bandits and people with eight fingers, either to drain them of their blood, or to transform them into spawns and descendants.
In short, a small vampire community was established unknowingly.
……
At the same time, the Golden Princess who was far away in the royal capital was not idle either.
She used her intelligence, beauty, and newly acquired magician abilities to constantly plant mines within the families of the great nobles, creating tension and hostility between them.
Due to the mediocrity and conciliatory character of the old king, no one realized that a huge hidden danger was forming within the country.
The battle between two princes for the right to inherit has almost reached a fever pitch.
They are no longer satisfied with political attacks on each other, but have begun private plots and armed conflicts.
Appreciating her masterpiece, Lana couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a chilling smile, and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "Look at these stupid humans!
They have no idea that they are in danger, and they are still fighting endlessly for a little immediate benefit.
As everyone knows, when a ship is about to capsize, no one on it will be spared.
The master is right.
Only when power is concentrated in the hands of a capable, talented, knowledgeable, and visionary dictator can a country maintain stability and development and get rid of these boring and ridiculous battles and internal conflicts.
Just watch, I will kill all these nobles as sacrifices for the kingdom's rebirth.
The storm is coming soon, my dear father, brothers and sisters.
It is a pity that there is no place for you on the ship leading to the new era."
As these words blurted out, black magic flames suddenly burst out from the princess's hands.
Different from the most basic magic flames, with the powerful power provided by Zuo Si, she can already control the properties of these magic flames, giving them some additional additional abilities.
For example, if the magic flame contains the power of hell, it can cause additional fire damage;
Another example is to turn the magic flame into an energy arc that can bounce repeatedly between different targets, just like a chain of lightning.
In addition, Lana also masters a lot of evil magic.
But her favorite one is [Charm].
With the already outstanding appearance, plus the status bonus of the golden princess, and the sexy and charming charm produced by the integration of the purgatory bloodline, and finally combined with the magic effect brought by the charm spell, it can basically kill any sexual orientation instantly
A normal man.
Not to mention men, not even women can bear it.
Complete the task assigned by Zuo Si and become a devil, this is the only thought in Lana's heart at the moment.
Especially after learning that there were countless devils like herself in hell, she even became less interested in her beloved "loyal dog" Clem than before.
However, the boy named Clem did not realize this and still guarded his princess loyally.
A few minutes later, he escorted Lana to a room.
The old King Rambusa III was already sitting in his own seat. After his little daughter sat down, he directly gave instructions to the dusty warrior captain standing not far away: "There are no outsiders here.
Tell me exactly what happened during your trip."
"As you command, Your Majesty."
Gazef put his hand on his chest and saluted, then disguised the Theocracy as an empire to attack Karn Village, met the players, and witnessed with his own eyes how the players drove away the Sunshine Codex troops and summoned the projection of the Phoenix God.
Shake it all out.
After he finished speaking, he turned his attention to Lana not far away.
Like many reformist and civilian forces in the kingdom, this warrior captain also pinned the country's hopes on the "Golden Princess".
At least in the eyes of the outside world, this princess, who can propose countless reform plans and good governance, is almost the only hope that can bring change to the decadent country.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Lana, what do you think?"
Busha III took a deep breath and asked softly.
There is no doubt that whether it is the conspiracy of the domestic aristocratic traditional church to kill the warrior captain, or the group of unknown but powerful adventurers who annihilated the Sunshine Scripture, or the Phoenix God who suddenly appeared out of thin air, they are far away.
It's far beyond what he can understand and handle.
At this time, his character flaw of being indecisive and lacking strong political skills was fully demonstrated.
Although he did not show any nervousness or panic, this was just the calmness cultivated by being the king for forty years.
The princess glanced at her father calmly, and quickly pretended to be embarrassed and analyzed: "Obviously, the Theocracy has been completely disappointed with the decadent aristocratic system in the kingdom, and has begun to support the empire to invade and even annex the kingdom. Trying to kill the warrior leader is the most direct manifestation of this intention.
Because he is the only powerful warrior in the kingdom who will obey the royal family's orders.
So as long as he dies, there will be no one else who can wear and use the royal family's secret treasures.
In this way, the empire can confidently and boldly launch invasions and continue to encroach on our lands, villages and towns on the border.
Based on my understanding of the Blood Emperor, he will never let go of such an opportunity.
As for this group of adventurers with mysterious origins, my suggestion is to first see if you can invite them to the royal capital to meet them, and then decide whether to recruit them.
After all, if the warrior commander’s description is not exaggerated, then even if we don’t recruit, the Empire and Theocracy will definitely recruit.
For the truly strong, every country will not be stingy in offering generous conditions.
In this regard, our enemy the Blood Emperor is the most typical example.
In contrast, we don’t need to worry about the emergence of the Phoenix God. We just need to act like we neither prevent nor encourage it and let it spread freely.
Anyway, it’s the Theocracy that should be most worried about this.”
After hearing these words, Busha III couldn't help holding his forehead and sighed: "Oh - it's all caused by my incompetence. If I could manage those nobles well, they wouldn't become what they are today.
Look. I'm sorry, Gazef, it was me who hurt you."
The warrior captain hurriedly knelt down and responded: "No, Your Majesty, it is my honor to be loyal to a benevolent monarch like you."
I have to say that although the old king was a mess in governing the country, he still had a bit of personality charm.
But Lana warned: "With the Theocracy's style of conduct, once it starts, it will never end easily. Your Excellency, Warrior Commander, please be careful, similar assassinations may happen again in the future."
Gazef forced a smile: "Please don't worry, Your Highness. I am not killed that easily."
"Yeah, I hope so..."
A hint of contempt flashed in Lana's eyes.
Because now, with her level of warlock and the damage that the magic flame can cause, she can kill her father's most trusted warrior captain in an instant.
After a brief discussion and identifying the nobles who might be involved in the conspiracy, the exhausted Busha III quickly left. Gazef also stood up and resigned, leaving the Golden Princess alone in the huge room. Just a second later, Zuo Si appeared out of thin air and asked with a half-smile: "How about it, do you now understand the basis on which order, law, governance and other things necessary for the operation of society are based?" p>
"It's violence.
I have deeply realized this.
Just look at the helpless look on my father’s face towards the nobles.
The reason why he governs the country like this is because he does not have a strong enough army and force.
So if I want to reshape the kingdom, the first thing I need is an army that is completely loyal to me."
Nora expressed her feelings without any hesitation.
"That's right.
You need an army that is completely at your mercy.
But this is obviously not easy.
Because in a feudal country, most of the land has been entrusted to nobles at all levels.
The royal territory must be handed over to the king himself and his successors.
Therefore, without land, you cannot obtain stable income and human resources, let alone win a civil war to seize inheritance rights.
But it doesn’t matter, because I can provide some start-up capital and help.”
With that said, Zuo Si directly transformed a card into a box and then opened it in person.
The next second...
Lana saw countless kingdom gold coins neatly stacked on the other side of the box.
No!
It should be said that the craftsmanship is more exquisite and beautiful than the gold coins cast by the kingdom.
"This...this is?!"
The girl suddenly stood up from the chair and opened her mouth in surprise.
"Here are five million kingdom gold coins. I believe it should be enough for you to recruit a mercenary army that fights for money. Take it, it is all yours now."
Zuo Si put on a very generous look.
After all, this investment is nothing compared to what he wants to gain in this world.
Even if you fail to force the Dragon Emperor to appear in the end and cannot obtain the secret of the origin of magic, you can still make a profit just by finding a place that can continuously provide a large number of souls.
At least in the eyes of Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell, souls are much more valuable than gold.
In fact, this money was a sponsorship fee that his old man came to him after he discovered that a material plane was beginning to connect with hell.
The total value is about 10 billion gold coins, basically all of which are precious metals that have little use in hell.
Moreover, he also warned many people not to be afraid of spending money. Problems that can be solved with gold and silver are not problems.
Our Bator Hell is not short of money at all, what we are short of is a world that can stably provide mortal souls.
A time and space like this where there is neither God nor interference from other forces, allowing the devil to monopolize and conduct business, must be taken down no matter what.
Zuo Si gave full play to the devil's idea of siphoning off oil, and hacked away 9.995 billion of the 10 billion active funds, and packed up the rest and threw it to Lana.
Anyway, if it’s not enough, you can make up more...
