Chapter 463 Divine Art and Undead

Chapter 463: Magic and Undead

Bishop Luwell is the highest person in charge of the "Snake Word" cares about the Bergen Territory.

Since the end of the battle last year, the center of gravity of the "Viper's Cross" has gradually shifted to his subordinates—because of the royal family's secret support and his efforts, the number of sect believers finally did not experience a large-scale surge after the crisis. Minus, as the biggest hero, Luwell once gained more right to speak, and faintly became the leader of a new force.

However, the strength within the sect is only useful within the sect. In the final analysis, the "Viper Cross" has not yet reached the point where it can directly compete with the "Rose Cross". The cooperation with the royal family made Luwell very clear about what role he was playing now, so when Earl Mirno entered the living room, he immediately got up after waiting for a long time, and saluted respectfully: "Earl Mirno, I heard your summoning, I didn't dare to waste half a minute of effort and came here."

This is completely naked flattery, but Mirno is very fond of it, he waved his hands with a reserved expression: "Come on, come on, I really didn't entertain you well for keeping you waiting for so long. More than seventy sets of infantry armor, you see, I am not a person who likes to fight, so I will put together these things and take out a hundred sets as an apology, Lord Governor, please don’t blame me.”

Mirno completed another gift of resources while talking and laughing. Although it was a good thing for Bishop Luwell, it also meant that he was completely in a "weak" position in this conversation-but he only trembled his eyebrows, and did not No matter what to say, he continued to sit on the side with a respectful posture, completely "waiting and falling".

When it is time to show weakness, never show strength. Veteran politicians naturally understand this truth.

"This time, His Majesty has something to deal with..." Earl Mirno raised his hand, and the steward next to him immediately brought some parchments, and he took them and handed them to the other party, and continued: "The northwest of the kingdom is currently in chaos. Hmm... The main reason is that these two people are always jumping up and down, His Majesty means to find an opportunity - to teach them a lesson."

When the word "lesson" was said, Milnor's fingertips slid across his throat, the meaning was self-evident.

Luwell knew that coming here would not be an easy task, so he took a closer look at the parchment, and found that the target on it turned out to be an "acquaintance"—all the portraits and information of Rody and Soderol were written on it.

This made the bishop who knew some details about Roddy dumbfounded.

"I think it shouldn't be a problem for Viper Cross to take care of these two guys, right?"

Earl Mirno's question was completely random. After all, combined with the letter report he just saw, Roddy and Soderol should be the most inconspicuous new nobles. No sound of slag.

But Luwell's reaction surprised him a little.

The superintendent frowned and gave a reply after thinking for a long time: "I think that to deal with that Baron Roddy, at least two squadrons of the Holy War Army need to be summoned, and some additional professional soldiers must be hired..."

"I think you must be joking, my lord."

Mirno interrupted him with a face full of surprise: "Your Majesty means to dispose of it silently, rather than start a war."

Luwell immediately realized that his attitude was inappropriate - he immediately changed his smile and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Earl, I may have been a little sensitive because of the last war, huh... I was thinking a little bit wrong just now, just to solve the problem. According to them, according to the information you gave, a special operations team can completely handle it.”

That being said, he was thinking in his heart how many elites should be added to ensure that nothing goes wrong...

Mirno nodded in satisfaction, and then asked seemingly casually: "These two people are quite close to that Duke Sally from Efta,

I remember that you guys seemed to suffer from Efta? "

This is of course nonsense. Milnor came to them because he knew that Viper Cross had a grudge against Sally—and Luwell naturally understood everything, and immediately replied: "The Pope is very interested in that Duke. So if there's a chance to meet her...we at Viper's Cross would love to."

The two who seemed to hit it off immediately had a heated discussion about specific countermeasures, but only they knew the thoughts behind them...

*****

February 23rd.

The city of Elson is now in full swing.

The central market already has a fixed market, and there have been a lot more people in it recently, and there is also an endless stream of caravans coming from afar, and there is a faint tendency to become a large-scale trade distribution center.

It stands to reason that an empty city should be a 'ruin' in people's impression, but thanks to the protection of the city by the "time barrier", the drainage and water supply system of Elson City still maintains the same state as it was seven or eight hundred years ago. The perfect state - when the snow gradually melted, there was actually a hidden river running through the city. Reasonable planning and various "semi-automatic" facilities driven by magic crystals made the residents' lives far more convenient than any city in the Kingdom.

The city is divided into various areas, and the civilians can enjoy all-weather sunshine in the "residential area", while on the other side, the "arsenal" under the shadow of the city wall has been in full swing for more than half a month.

The wood brought back from the lumberyard outside the city was pushed into the furnace in large quantities, and the blacksmiths recruited from the residents were trying to adapt to this "assembly line" forging method that subverted the "blacksmith shop" industry. Khan was busy, and those with the highest level were discussing in low voices around a few blueprints, just like a scientific researcher.

Similarly, the dragon skins, keels and other materials brought back from Elsa Village were further processed under the leadership of Su Lun cobbler. In the "barracks", two veterans, Carter and Luge, had become instructors for training recruits. Day is practicing the 70 or 80 recruits who have just been recruited.

In contrast, the "Mage District" seemed deserted and abnormal.

After all, compared with the high elf civilization more than 700 years ago, there are very few "legal professionals" in the human world today-but although there are few living people here, the shadow of "dead people" is not uncommon.

When Soderol and others dealt with the undead Baron Belom's troops, Akasha used a scroll to summon an army of 1,500 undead. After the battle, they have been assigned to defend the city, but as the population grows, most of these unseen undead have moved into the dark, and most of them have been placed in the forest outside the city as secret sentries, and the rest... They are all hidden in the mage area for Akasha to study slowly.

Since returning from the glacier plain, Akasha's strength has made great progress, especially after learning the two skill books presented by Benjamin, she has mastered it and gained a lot of insights-if it were someone else, I am afraid that now she will be more refined in what she is best at "Healing" magic, but Akasha is not a "fanatic" after all. After reading a top-level book like "The Essence of Energy", her vision has undergone a huge change.

Akasha no longer focuses on the spells or divine spells of a certain faction, but has become more interested in the things behind these spells.

For example, now, she is studying the "undead soldier" in front of her.

Of course, Akasha didn't dare to do such a thing secretly. She specifically asked Rody if it was inappropriate, but she didn't expect that Rody's answer would be very straightforward: "It is always people who kill people, not knives. As long as you don't think about being Lich, I will never stop you from researching anything you like."

With such a promise, Akasha dared to study the undead he summoned openly, and indeed made many new discoveries——

The current batch of undead soldiers is very different from the products of ordinary "calling of the dead": the undead soldiers summoned from the grave or the battlefield are often half rotten or incomplete, and their combat effectiveness is compromised. But these soldiers are completely different: because their original bodies are all complete bodies after being captured by Turing in the "Time Barrier".

In other words, the bodies of these undead soldiers are almost indistinguishable from those of living people - the only difference is that they no longer have a heartbeat and breathing.

"Call of the Undead" pays the most attention to the integrity of the material, and from any point of view, these undead soldiers should be regarded as "perfect" works. Their muscle elasticity, body explosiveness, and limb flexibility are all superior to those rough-made zombie skeletons. Their own combat level is the basic level of 17. In terms of attributes, they are already stronger than the elite troops in the king's army.

However, their shortcomings are also obvious: Akasha cannot give complex orders, otherwise these soldiers without logical ability would not be able to complete them at all - even if they ordered "attack", their combat methods are mostly instinctive and have no skills at all .

And the "subject" of Akasha's research is: Can these soldiers be made smarter?

Necromancers never consider this issue, because they tend to use higher-level "summoning" and "summoning materials"-to make the skeletons smarter? Sorry, but a skeleton is a skeleton after all, and it doesn't make any difference whether it's a smart skeleton or a zombie.

Of course, Akasha does not expect to be able to solve this kind of spell bottleneck problem soon, but as the first "half-necromancer" with the profession of "holy priest", her thinking is that no necromancer can solve it. imagination…

Would it be useful to add magic BUFF to undead soldiers?

Of course, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. During this period of time, she has directly "purified" five undead soldiers with divine magic...

"Still not quite right."

After the divine light burned the undead in front of her again, Akasha frowned and stopped trying. She felt that she seemed to have walked into a dead end, so she simply stopped the experiment, and wanted to focus on other things, so that she could talk about it after a while.

Looking at the hundreds of silent undead soldiers standing outside the laboratory, Akasha felt that the atmosphere here was a little scary. She got up and prepared to bask in the sun, but she stopped walking not far away. down.

"This is…"
