My players are so fierce.

Chapter 599 598. I can’t defuse the bomb, but I can change its explosion countdown

Murphy learned a lot of interesting facts about the Songhai people from the mummy, and also tricked the other party into becoming the shaman mentor of the Transian warriors. This wave is actually a win-win situation.

The kind where Murphy wins twice.

After all, he had no intention of covering up the fact about the Swamp Exhibition Hall, and even planned to invite the remaining three vampire archdukes to the swamp restricted area at some point in the future to complete the binding of civilization candidates, so as to piece together the Eden The specific situation when the district was destroyed.

Judging from the embarrassing resonance phenomenon of "ancient memories" that happened with Shani before, even if the other archduke does not intend to tell the truth, that special resonance of memories can still bring many valuable insights to Murphy. clue.

Under this premise, it is not a big problem to invite a mummy priest from the Songhai Empire to visit it, not to mention that the other party is a serious expert in the field of "Creator's Heritage".

From some of the details revealed by Nefertari, we can tell that she has definitely had close contact with many ruins of the Creator in the place of origin. Let this guy go around the exhibition hall, and maybe he can bring some "surprises" to Murphy. Woolen cloth.

But now was not a good time to discuss this matter. After the mummy priest used elemental fire to burn open the ice coffin covering the ruins of the castle, the three people quickly moved towards it.

As Murphy pushed open the closed cold door, the miserable scene inside the castle came into view.

This place must have been bombarded with heavy artillery by the pioneering army. The top floor and high places of this castle are in a semi-collapsed state. Unlike the ruins of Xiko City, which were cleaned up by the undead, this castle still maintains its original flavor. "Battle damage wind".

As Murphy flapped his wings and headed towards the middle study, he could even see a cannonball embedded in the wall but not exploding in a cave-in on the second floor of the castle.

According to Xiao Sharon, when the city was destroyed, there were some women and children in the castle who were summoned by his parents to protect him, but Murphy did not see more corpses. Considering that the undead in the entire city had been activated, those corpses were large. The probability is that he grew legs and ran out on his own.

It seems that they also expressed awe to their lords in this way even after their death.

In the eyes of Tris, who was following behind, this empty ruins of the castle looked more like a tomb, used to bury the dead Lord Xiko who could not rest in peace.

"They're right in front!"

Nefertari came up the stairs and warned loudly:

"In the study in front of you, don't go in yet. These are two very powerful undead! I feel the abnormal gathering of the will of Hades. They are not the dead who were shaped by wild means.

Damn!

The orthodox knowledge of the Moon of Death should not be used to create such a crisis. This is simply blasphemy!

You guys wait for me there, I'm going to add a few states to you to prevent you from being attacked or affected by the will of Hades. "

She rushed over quickly, took out a bottle from her waist and sprinkled the gray-white powder out, letting the powder surround Murphy and Tris to isolate dangerous things from invading their wills, and then Then he took out a scepter wrapped with two snakes and a small caster's shield from the belt bag that was quite Songhai style.

This thing is also full of undead style, because the shield is embedded with a dried black heart.

It looks weird.

After everything was prepared, the mummy turned back and pursed her lips at Murphy. The abstract expression reflected on the mummy's wrapping made Murphy shrug his shoulders and push forward to open the closed door of the study with Necessary Evil in hand.

结果

"boom"

The door fell forward, hitting the ground with a loud bang and dust flying everywhere.

The vampire lord stood there awkwardly, complaining that the construction quality of this castle was really worrying. Wasn't it just that it had been bombed by heavy artillery? As for being vulnerable to this extent?

But this little embarrassment was nothing in the current situation, because they had met the real owner.

Just as little Sharon described, her old father was sitting on the "black throne" in the center of the study, which was made up of the remains of many armors and weapons and the twisted corpses of invaders. This heavily armed leader of the mountain people was leaning on a huge, The armor-breaking hammer filled with cold air was like a black sculpture.

The old earl probably hadn't changed his posture since Sharon left last time, and the armor on his body was even covered with a layer of fine dust.

Plus, it's cold in this room!

It's not a simple drop in temperature, it's more like some kind of invisible cold force entrenched here to form a virtual undead barrier. That force weighed heavily on Murphy's shoulders, making him move his shoulders uncomfortably.

He took a step forward, and the movement immediately triggered a reaction.

The old earl who lowered his head in front of him slowly raised his head like a rusty gear starting to move. Under the heavy black helmet, two red bone fires lit up.

Different from the blue or green bone fire of other undead, the scarlet color represents extreme danger.

Murphy immediately prepared for the battle, and even planned to call Mannis to help, but Nefertari, who was beside him, took a step forward and yelled loudly in the words of the dead that the Priest of the Death Moon is best at:

"The Moon of Death will protect your mind. Dead, listen to my command and retreat in anger!"

She waved her scepter, sending a cold gleam of light around the old count in a circle. The posture originally used for offense also quickly stopped, and the angry spirit under his helmet was forcibly calmed down to calm neutrality.

The old count seemed to wake up from the emotions brought about by death for the first time.

He moved his neck and looked at Nefertari, who was dressed strangely, with confusion. At this moment, Mrs. Sicco's spirit body also levitated from her husband's body. This exquisitely built wraith had already understood.

She begged Nefertari for help in the air:

"Save us! Your Excellency, Walker of the Moon of Death, my husband and I are controlled by them! This city is the same, the power of death is tormenting us, and it roars at us every moment for revenge and destruction.

It's like being put into a mental hell, leaving us with no peace!

Help us!

You have the ability to help us. "

"That's what I'm here for."

At this moment, Nefertari lost her crazy posture, and was replaced by the calmness and majesty necessary for a priest of the dead. She said in a deep voice:

"A just death never requires revenge from any dead person. What you heard is not the echo of Hades' judgment. Someone has shamelessly tampered with everything after your death, so that you cannot rest in peace, and you are not allowed to embark on the path of the dead.

Those guys can sense the will of Hades just like me and can control that power to a limited extent.

They have set up permanent angry spirit rituals in this castle and even in the outlying cities, so that your anger can be retained after death and use this ugly emotion to transform you and distort you.

They are trying to create a real Hades army in Transia, and you two are their chosen Lords of Hades, or Lords of the Tomb.

What a blasphemy!

But this transformation has not yet been completed, so you are still saved!

Calm down, madam and lord, I need you to temporarily return to the indifferent state of mind of the deceased so that I can better detect your current state.

Please trust me!

I am the living walker of the Moon of Death!

I am your compatriot and soul guide. I came from the Holy City of the Moon holding the Oracle of Hades in order to cleanse this earth of the sins after death, and I will appease the loss and pain of this city. "

The mummy's claim was grand and majestic.

Murphy also noticed that as Nefertari carried out the name of the Holy City of the Moon, the heavy power shrouding the study seemed to have changed. It seemed lighter. No, more ethereal.

This made him realize that there was no need to fight anymore in this scene, so he took a step back and handed over the home court to Nefertari.

He and Tris stood aside to protect the mummy.

The old count sitting on the throne of the dead remained silent. It was said that he was not a boring person who liked to talk too much during his lifetime, and was a typical mountain man. However, Countess Xico kept talking to Nefertari.

This half-halfling woman seemed to have inherited the distinctive personality traits of halflings. Although it seemed inappropriate to complain in this situation, Murphy still felt that she was absolutely driven crazy by the boredom after death.

Seeing that there was someone who could calm her down, she began to describe her experiences during this period, chirping like a lark.

"I just asked why Sharon is so small. She doesn't look like a mountain man at all."

Murphy whispered in Tris's ear:

"It turns out that she has perfectly inherited her mother's exquisite height. Look, the countess looks like a standard loli girl next to the old earl. Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that the old earl, a rough mountain man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually like this kind of thing. of?

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. "

"Uh"

Tris rolled her eyes helplessly, and explained after Murphy finished complaining:

"The leaders of the mountain people are the same as ordinary people, but halflings are immortal species. As far as I know, the countess is much older than the old earl, so what you see is just what you think. The fact is not that the old earl likes little Luo Li, the fact is that a loli girl is playing with the young lady.

Although I didn’t have much interaction with the old Count Siko, I knew that when he was very young, the countess who returned from Port Chardeau was invited to be his family grammar teacher. To use the weird words of those guys on the forum, this wave, this wave is called the master against the disciple. "

"Ah this!"

Murphy couldn't accept the "too many elements" of the earl's secret for a while. It seems that little Sharon, a clever girl, also knows that her parents' love story is a bit too scary, so she has been carefully concealing it.

Or maybe Xiao Sharon doesn't know these old events at all? This is basically equal to the dark history of my parents, right?

"When you two are gossiping about our husband and wife, can you take care of the mood of the person involved?"

While Murphy and Tris were exchanging these strange things, the old earl, who had been silent, suddenly spoke hoarsely:

"Can you at least lower your voice symbolically? After death, my senses have been strengthened a lot. If I weren't in a strange state now and can't get angry, maybe I should use my Warhammer of Warm's Chill to teach me a lesson. Teach you two what etiquette is!"

"Well, it's not just your senses that have been enhanced, Sir Sicomaire."

Tris was well-informed and thick-skinned. She acted as if nothing had happened. She held the Serenade Scepter and stepped forward to sense the wave. She said very seriously:

"Your body didn't even rot after death, but was made stronger and more destructive by the infusion of pure Hades power. Dusk is shaping you the same way a melee is shaped, and the opposite is the Countess!

I don't even need to sense it to judge that her use of death spiritual energy has also been greatly enhanced. It is said that she was an excellent halfling spell caster during her lifetime. It seems that they did not choose the carrier of Xiko's curse randomly.

Although this is an external force, it is enough to push your wife closer to the Golden Realm after death.

The current state of her and you is already difficult to classify using the common classification method of the undead. Your form of existence is unprecedented on this continent for thousands of years. Of course, in the place of origin, such evil The story happened more than once. "

"This is a standard and classic pairing of the Lich and the Tomb King."

Next to her, Nefertari, who was enduring the countess's chattering and overwhelming desire to share, and was detecting the spirit body for the countess, would answer:

"During the period before they were resurrected after their death, someone tampered with their remains. Mrs. Sicomaire was made into a phylactery, and the old count's existence was permanently bound to this city. Together.

This is part of the orthodox transformation ceremony of the Death Moon Sect. As long as the transformation is completed, the city will have a gold-level lich and a gold-level tomb master.

What a generous act!

Even in the place where this kind of luxurious configuration originated, not every pharaoh has enough financial and material resources to support it. And I can basically determine that the secret transformation of Xiko City did not start after the war. The time spent on tedious arrangements is measured in years.

Therefore, at the beginning of your ten-year war, Xiko City may have been selected as the target.

In other words, the war between the Pioneer Legion and the Xiko Territory was planned from the beginning. I also learned about the ten-year war on the way here. It is said that King Louis was even involved in the planning and advancement of this war.

So, Dusk actually has an spy beside King Louis?

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain how they could design and cover up this entire set of events so cleverly, and ultimately turn Xiko City into a replica of the Legion of Hades according to their ideas. "

"Well, your guess is really shocking."

Murphy whispered:

"But judging from Dusk's behavior, we cannot rule out this possibility. Unfortunately, at least Transia lacks the power to search for the truth in the Plantagenet Kingdom, so it can only be a guess at the moment.

Nefertari, what are the results of your test?

Can we stop the transformation of Xiko City or set them free? "

"Of course! It can even be done within ten days."

The mummy first gave an affirmative answer, which made the two vampires and two undead present happy. However, the unreliable guy then changed the subject, spread his hands, tilted his head and said:

"But the premise is that my mentor comes in person! With my pitiful rank, I can't solve the Hades army of this size. It has taken too long for them to transform. This Hades army is only one step away from being truly formed.

Once the Earl and Countess' transformation ceremony is completed, the power of Hades will break through the isolation of the material world and pour directly into the city of Xiko, turning this place into a holy city of death power!

Although it is definitely not as powerful as the Holy City of the Moon, as long as it is formed, you living people will have no way to destroy it!

Xiko City will become a death knife inserted into the center of the continent. By then, even if the Count and Count Xiko Maier can withstand the call of dusk and not kill wantonly, the aura of Hades that continues to extend from Xiko City will destroy the entire Teland. West Asia and the surrounding areas became a place of death.

Not a blade of grass grows and the fields are filled with bones. The living die and the dead wander!

If that happens, even if the entire Death Moon sect comes out in force, they won't be able to help you, but this is not a bad thing for us, because it means that Death Moon will have a second holy city.

If you need it at that time, because we are familiar with each other, I can introduce you to join the sect as a low-level priest or something.

Our welfare package is very good, but it is a serious organization affiliated to the royal family. Each member can receive free shrouds and antiseptics every month. Rice noodles and oil are distributed every year on Cold Moon Festival and Burning Sun Day. And gold.

Even though we can’t use it”

"Hey, your brain is twitching again, right?"

Murphy reached out and struck Nefertari on the head, causing the latter to scream but calm down. She pretended to cough twice and said:

"In short, this transformation ritual cannot be stopped, but I can at least destroy the Raging Spirit Ceremony to calm you down. Then, I will use a series of secret methods of the Death Moon Sect to extend the completion time of the transformation ritual as much as possible.

But it’s not a panacea! "

The mummy stretched out three fingers and said in a serious tone:

"I have just said that the key to the problem is not the undead in Xiko City, but that this land that has suffered too much pain and death has resonated with the will of Hades. Even if you kill all the undead in Xiko City , this ritual will also revive them again and again.

It can be said that the moment the ascension ceremony was started, the arrangement in Xiko City at dusk was completed.

They were already invincible.

This is why Dusk doesn't station manpower in this city. There's absolutely no need to do that.

I can now delay the completion of the Ascension Ceremony by three months, which means that at most nine months from now, the Deathly Holy Land will be fully formed!

In this process, you must find the ‘source’.

Kill her!

Destroy her faction!

Recovering the common phylactery of the Earl and Countess, that thing is the core of the city's transformation ceremony, and the core of the resonance of Hades' will with this land.

As long as I get it back, I can restrain the power of death from spreading to the outside world, and let it continue to accumulate and refine in a fixed area like the Holy City of the Moon, until it becomes the second Holy City of the Moon hundreds of years later.

Of course, I have to warn you both.

Once the Holy City is formed, the Death Moon Sect will take over this place. It's not that we are greedy for territory or power, but that most people really can't handle this. "

"Ah."

Murphy nodded, Tris was a little sad but did not object.

The matter was settled.

Nefertari looked back at the old count and his loli teacher wife, and she said:

"As for you two.

Although you are not registered orthodox kings of the underworld, since things have already turned out like this, I will submit an application to the Holy City of the Moon. The two of you must personally hand-write an explanatory material and application documents, which will be forwarded by the Death Moon Faction to' Tomb Kings' are there to be scrutinized.

If they agree to your joining, then you will become a member of the glorious 'Ancient Kings'. Well, you will enjoy the royal support of the Pharaoh.

The benefits are great!

Not only will you automatically have the status of a high-ranking priest of the Death Moon Sect, but you will also have a death chariot specially made by the Ptolemaic royal family and the Hades Guards as a guard of honor. You will even be assigned a three-headed dog from Hades to help you guard the door.

If you have a special hobby, you can also change it to Anubis Giant or Hades Giant Scorpion.

On the 7th of every month, at the end of the Road of the Dead in Hades, you can still attend the gathering of ancient kings.

That is a status symbol in the world of death!

I'm so hungry.

Alas, it's a pity that the tribe I come from is not very powerful and is not qualified to serve the ancient kings. Otherwise, I would be considered your colleague.

So stop grimacing, you two.

Death is not the end of life, especially for those who qualify, it is just the beginning of another journey.

Look forward to a wonderful new life after death. I think you two will become the brightest stars in the gathering of kings.

Especially you, Countess.

Your amazing eloquence really has the potential to be the prom queen. "
