Make the dragon great again

Chapter 163 The Undead of 5000 Years

The topic about Aidankui and a certain plan came to an end temporarily, and the banquet returned to the original theme. The liches and necromancers in the hall exchanged their respective magical issues with each other. As the outside rumors say, it seems to be a communication place for reclusive wise men.

However, the magic knowledge discussed by these advanced undead creatures, except for a few related to frost magic, the rest are mostly blasphemous techniques that are not tolerated by the bright world.

For example:
"How to transform a corpse that has completely lost its soul into a low-level undead creature that operates efficiently and autonomously";
"On the energy and material consumption required to summon low-level undead creatures, and the efficiency paradox between the excessive consumption of summoned undead creatures";
"Sewing up animal soul fragments or ingesting complete fresh souls of intelligent creatures, which one is the best way to make a plug-in controllable demon spirit";
"108 Methods of Bone and Joint Maintenance and Polishing, and 36 Comfortable Matches between Crypt and Sarcophagus";
"How to rely on the flame reaction of special magic ore to adjust the appearance of soul fire", "Which hemolytic agent or lubricant is more suitable for prolonging the activity time of the zombie's body"...

Most of these magical knowledge are evil methods that desecrate the soul and life, but there are also some seemingly unserious "Life Tips" that are related to the daily life of undead creatures.

Even the only discussed frost-type magic in the orthodox magic system, the focus of discussion is "the balance between extending the shelf life of the shell in a low temperature environment and the decline in the activity of the shell in a low temperature environment". Weird direction...

Of course, from another perspective, the core of these discussions, or the only thing in common, is——

How to extend the maximum time that an undead creature can survive in the material world.

All other issues are branch researches carried out with this as the core.

This is a group of people who want to "live"...

The city lord of [Cold Wind City] watched the people discussing in the hall quietly, and occasionally answered the questioner's question, but most of the time he seemed very flat or even silent.

The chief assistant Dunmer, who also did not participate in the discussion, knew in his heart that this was because the city lord had seen the same discussion scene so many times that he became numb to it.

[Cold Wind City] In the second era, when the Gaia species began to war with the longevity species and competed for the dominance of the continent, they stood on the [Extreme Northern Wasteland], and the "Master of the City" was even older before that. The Gaia species of Gaia had already existed in the era of great development. At that time, the Sirias continent had not even been blocked by the Dragon Clan's [Continental Barrier]!

Over the long years, the "Master City Lord" has withstood the test of [death] time and time again. The fire of wisdom and reason has never been wiped out by this world that does not allow the dead to stay. There are constantly powerful extraordinary people who pursue eternal life after death. Gathering around him, these people, after becoming undead, completely lost their minds in the passage of time and disappeared from the side of the "Sir City Lord"...

'This cycle has lasted for more than 5000 years, and the "Sir City Lord" has seen too much, so he appears so indifferent. '

Dunmer thought silently in his heart.

'I don't know why the city lord can maintain his sanity for more than 1 years, while others can only last for less than 2000 years at most... Is it because it is easier to resist the judgment of the world rules after reaching the legend? '

The undead in ancient times seemed to be easier to maintain their sanity, but in modern times, the undead in the new era have become more and more difficult to resist the evaporation of rationality. I don't know why...

Dunmer thought of the "ally" who was trapped in the Kingdom of Behemoth that "Sir Santo" said.

'Could it be that... that is also a powerful undead that has survived from ancient times to today? '

……

In the subspace where the White Dragon's Tomb is located.

"You mean, one of those voices that kept ringing in your ears before made you feel really special?"

Facing Adrian's question, Isabella, who had just learned a little communication language through Adrian's consciousness transmission, gestured with her hands to express her affirmation.

Adrian scratched his chin thoughtfully, and said:

"You originally thought it was my voice, but I don't have that kind of memory, and this voice has been with you for more than 20 years, but I was still blocked until three or four years ago... Cough cough, anyway, that voice The voice is not mine, could it be the voice of the Behemoth family? After all, they are considered to be the dragonborn family that is related to you by blood."

Adrian's words are more complicated, but Isabella's learning ability is extremely strong. After Adrian helped add a lot of common sense, she can now make a relatively clear logical analysis, so she can understand Adrian's words mean.

I saw Isabella said somewhat unnaturally:

"I can hear, Elizabeth's voice, but, no, Elizabeth."

"Do you remember who Elizabeth is?"

"Remember, my, first, friend."

When Isabella said this, her face was serious. Adrian remembered Elizabeth's expression of hatred and fear when she first described the "monster in the ancestral land" to him, and for a while he couldn't figure out what the two of them were. In which link did the cognitive bias appear...

Adrian secretly decided that Isabella and Elizabeth should not be allowed to get in touch until this issue was clarified.

After all, Isabella's current state of self-awareness is not sure whether it is stable enough. It is best to need more "anchor points" to maintain her side of [the dragon], and she seems to attach great importance to Elizabeth, but Elizabeth But she has hatred for her. If they meet at this time, it is hard to say whether such a "shock" will make Isabella lose her self-cognitive balance again and fall back to the state of "evil dragon" with chaotic will.

"How does that sound make you feel?"

Adrian changed the subject.

Isabella thought about it for a while, and then suddenly looked at the Skeleton Dragon who had been keeping silent not far away.

"He, and what he feels like, has a smell that makes me uncomfortable."

"he?"

Adrian turned his gaze to Yelans, the skeleton dragon.

To be honest, he originally thought that Yelans would choose to leave when the pollution was under control and there was no psychic impact affecting his strength - anyway, Fay and Smaug couldn't stop Yelans in a sane state - but Adrian didn't Thinking that Yelansi actually stayed and entered this dragon tomb generously.

You know, Adrian invited Yelans, who was stubbornly refusing to leave, to enter the dragon tomb with the intention of "releasing some of the 'black mud' immediately to subdue the skeleton dragon if something goes wrong." I really ate this invitation to the Hongmen Banquet, which was almost a conspiracy...

But at this time, Isabella said that since she was sensible, she could always hear the voice that "smells like Yelans"?How is this going?

Just as Adrian looked at Yelans suspiciously, Yelans spoke first, but said something unexpected to Adrian.

"I probably know what that sound is...it is likely to come from a powerful undead beyond the limit of the [rule barrier]."

[Rule Barrier] is what these "ancient people" called [Legendary Shackles], and [Tree of Life] Isanata also described [Legendary Shackles] in this way.

"A guy above legend? And an undead?"

Adrian was a little caught off guard by the news.

"Is it a fantasy undead like you?"

"No, although I don't know who he was before his death, I can tell that he is just a lich of human origin."

"A lich of human origin? A Gaian species beyond the [legendary shackles]?"

Adrian's eyes widened.

Since leaving the dungeon, although he didn't say anything, everything that Adrian has come into contact with in this world has actually been deepening his impression that "Gaias are inferior creatures" in his heart;

Especially the human race, Adrian's mother race in his previous life, a race that coexists with intelligence and stupidity, virtue and selfishness, in Adrian's eyes, although it is not useless, to a large extent, he has always believed that the human race is a race that is not suitable for the development of extraordinary A race of advanced civilizations, especially the innate limit of this race is only the fourth level, and even reaching the fifth level requires a change of life form or soul form...

But now Yerlans said that on this continent that was banned by [Legendary Shackles], there was actually a Lich who was born in the human race and whose strength was at least legendary?

"……How did you know?"

When Adrian asked this question, the blue soul fire in the bone dragon's eye sockets jumped up, and it seemed that this question caused Yelans to have violent mood swings.

"The reason why I found this place and knew that this place is Elder Chris's dragon tomb is because I learned about it from that lich...it is a legendary lich that existed before [Battle of the Misty Sea]."

……

Alvarez, who descended from the main body, quickly gained the upper hand in the battle with Aidankui's army of undead by virtue of the talent [Prison of Death] released around the phylactery. Assimilation, the balance of strength between the two sides is accelerating.

But Alvarez is not satisfied with this, he still has a bigger goal.

"This lich seems to have a big plan. Although I don't know what he is going to do, one thing is certain is that it will definitely cause a lot of deaths..."

Thinking of the death of a large number of lives, Alvarez's eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed his desire forcibly.

"Master Adrian will rule this continent in the future, and it is necessary to plunge this continent into a war... but how and who initiates this war must be decided by Lord Adrian. Ruling."

It's a pity for Alvarez, but he knows that the current greed for petty gain can only be a temporary pleasure, just like when he couldn't help spreading death in the southern part of the Mullin Forest, but was found by Edmund to crusade... …

But after enduring the momentary pleasure, clinging to the thighs of the ancient fantasy species, contributing to Lord Adrian's grand plan, getting promoted and raising salary, and reaching the peak of ghost life, there will be more in the future, that is Always cool!
"But no matter what, the situation arranged by this lich may not be useless. This place can be used as the fuse of a war, but this fuse must be held in our hands!"

Alvarez increased his output, and the situation gradually developed in favor of Alvarez.

"There is also that young lich, who seems to be very good at summoning low-level undead, using many new technologies that I have never heard of... Let's not say where these novel undead magic knowledge comes from, but this witch The demon itself is a rare labor force! It is best to capture him back to the dungeon..."

The lizardman warrior Tours and the wood elf woman, having nothing to do, climbed onto a huge boulder to avoid the breath of death from Alvarez.

"What's going on here? You're with a lich!"

The wood elf questioned Tours angrily.

As the darlings of nature, elves hate undead creatures by nature, not to mention that this wood elf and many of his compatriots were killed by the former lich Aidankui... and Tours actually worked with a lich. From the perspective of a wood elf lady, neither Tours nor the "lord" is a good thing.

"I hate this lich too, but don't worry, he is a harmless lich who has signed a soul contract and handed over his soul to our Lord."

Fortunately, Alvarez focused on sensing the traces of Aidankui's body, otherwise he would probably be very angry when he heard Tours' words...

I am the chief of the dungeon affairs appointed by Lord Adrian, you lizardman is just a member of the family, what kind of shit are you talking about here!
The wood elf was skeptical about Tours' words, but after all, because of the grace of saving his life, he didn't stick to this topic for the time being.

"The body of the lich escaped before, we must find him, otherwise what happened here will happen in another place soon!"

Tours agreed with this, and was about to say, "You communicate with the forest, and I will ask the flying dragon in the sky to find it together", when the battle on Alvarez's side suddenly fell into chaos.

In other words, Aidankui's undead army fell into chaos unilaterally.

The attack, which was originally considered orderly, ended up falling into disorder without warning. It seemed that there was some kind of command conflict between the headless horsemen and the big demon spirits in the middle.

Alvarez quickly saw why.

"His body phylactery has left the maximum control range!"

At this moment, several short roars came from the sky, which were the reminders from the three half-pure-blooded flying dragons.

Tours, who also has the blood of a giant dragon, was able to communicate with the flying dragons to a certain extent and understood what they meant.

"There is a battle in the north, and there are aura fluctuations of frost and undead!"

Tours also heard from the ramblings of the flying dragon that they seemed to have sensed the special breath of the suspected dragon's power from which direction, so it was no nonsense, and rushed to the canopy of a big tree in two or three steps. When gliding past, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a claw of the flying dragon, and took advantage of the flying dragon to chase in the direction of the battle.

The wood elf also came to his senses and realized that it was likely where Aidankui's body was, so he didn't have time to think about who was on the other side of the battle. After a flash of emerald green light, he used [Natural Transformation] to become a human being. A female deer with a light body and vigorous movements jumped and moved quickly in the forest and chased to the north.

However, Alvarez, who was eager to make meritorious service, was trapped here by the undead army that was in chaos but could not be solved for a while.

"Hey! Wait a minute, you wait for me!"

The three flying dragons ignored Alvarez and flew towards the north one after another...
