I have a hero simulator

"sorry."

Tsuare pursed her lips and regretted it. She had no way to refute it.

"It was free before, but now it's charged. The price is your soul, how about that?"

Before the war began, due to the shortage of logistical personnel in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Shen Yuan had planned to recruit Qia Lei as a maid in the royal suite on the ninth floor, but the specific choice still depended on her.

As for the lord, Shen Yuan would naturally give him the blessing he wanted.

However, his servants were not so lucky.

Chapter 119: Flying Squirrel: I am the strongest magician!

"Thank you so much for your blessing, High Priest Karsus!"

Afterwards, the lord and his entourage stared at the carriage that Shen Yuan was riding in as it drove away.

"Good luck."

After Tsuare boarded the carriage, they headed towards the Great Tomb of Nazarick under the guidance of Narberal.

Shen Yuan sat in the carriage, looking at Qi Yalei who looked a little nervous, and smiled strangely.

"Um, Lord Karsus, did you really give that lord...a blessing..."

Tsuare asked curiously.

"Yes."

Shen Yuan did give the lord a "blessing of the undead" that prevented him from being identified as an enemy and attacked by the undead.

but.

The weird thing is that only the lord was blessed.

As for the servants around him, they were affected by the evil power that was involuntarily emitted by the "Blessing of the Undead". When the undead disaster broke out, these servants would die in an instant and become undead. At that time, the only ones left in the entire mansion were the human lord and a bunch of zombies.

He also couldn't escape from the mansion because it was covered by Shen Yuan's barrier. The only way to break the barrier was to eliminate the "Blessing of the Undead".

This means that if the lord wants to escape from the mansion, he must destroy the blessing on himself, but the price is that he will be instantly attacked by the undead servants.

If you don't destroy the blessing, you will have to live with zombies for the rest of your life until you die of starvation or self-harm.

After death, the soul will be recovered by the Scourge and become nutrients for the Lich King.

Shocked! What kind of evil curse is this?

However, this was the lord's own request. Shen Yuan simply did not tell him the price of the "Blessing of the Undead". He only said, "Everything has a price. If you can accept it, I will give you the blessing."

Then the lord expressed his willingness without even asking.

That's gone.

Just like Tsuare, I saved her for free the first time, but she refused, so I charged her the second time and she was forced to sell herself to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The price is one hundred years of service to Nazarick during the lifespan of a living human.

After death, the soul will be transformed into a ghost according to the death contract and continue to serve the Lich King for a hundred years.

After the death contract is released, Tsuare can choose to reincarnate into a wealthy family in another world or stay there according to her own wishes.

It's not just her, most of the other souls enslaved by the Lich King are similar.

In order to make them fight harder, Shen Yuan promised that after their service, the goddess from another world would take them away and reincarnate them as new humans in another world.

The identity of the reincarnated commoner or noble is determined based on the level of military performance.

If you have more negative records, you may be reincarnated as monsters like goblins. Therefore, many souls in the Scourge are also very conflicted. They died tragically on the battlefield in their previous life, and they cannot rest in peace after death. They continue to fight for their next life.

Everyone wants to be reborn into a good family in the next life and enjoy a lifetime of happiness.

At this point, although he represents the evil Lich King, he is unexpectedly sought after and praised by countless undead, each of whom is loyal and fights without fear of death.

This is why the Scourge is more powerful than the large group of low-level undead summoned by Flying Squirrel. Ordinary skeletons and zombies have limited consciousness and extremely low intelligence, while the Scourge's undead army all possessed unique skills when they were alive, and after death they let themselves go, with their own wisdom and fighting methods.

Because of the power of the world-class item "Frostmourne", these undead can be resurrected using magic even if they are completely destroyed. The specific consumption depends on their strength, including the Frost Dragon. Even if it is destroyed, Shen Yuan can resurrect it after paying a certain price.

...

Two days later.

The day of the decisive battle arrived as promised.

Before dawn, a frost wave covered the land south of the Katz Plains.

The armies of the Sorcerous Kingdom and the Baharus Empire are advancing towards the Kingdom at their fastest speed and are stationed near the Katz Plains, awaiting the arrival of dawn.

And in the huge magnificent tent at the center of the soldiers.

“Sorcerer King…”

The Imperial Emperor, 'Blood Emperor' Gilkenif, stared at the figure in front of him.

Sitting on the throne, holding a strange staff, he is the terrifying embodiment of death.

A monster with a skull exposed.

It was as if darkness was concentrated at one point, forming a knot of doubt.

——That is Ainz Ooal Gown.

He wore a magnificent crown on his head, a luxurious black robe, and several rings shone brightly on his fingers.

Even from such a distance, Gilkenifer could still feel the powerful power contained in his luxurious and exquisite magical decorations.

"What are you worried about?"

A blood-red flame lit up in the empty eye sockets of Ainz Ooal Gown's skull.

Gilkenifer could feel the blood-red light staring at him as if it was seeing through his inner fear.

But he was not surprised that the other party was not human.

Rather, it is precisely because the other party is not human that such an unusually terrifying aura can be understood.

"Yes. I'm worried about the Lich King..."

"Don't worry, the Lich King is no match for me."

Ainz Ooal Gown—the Momonga who had become the Sorcerer King—said calmly, his tone filled with dominance, "Soon, you will know the most powerful magical force in the world."

Of course, Feishu can only talk about beating the Lich King now.

"Lord Ainz, in the name of the Emperor of the Baharus Empire, I grant you authority over the Imperial Army. Please unleash your great wisdom, no, strength, to easily secure victory in this war!"

Gilkenifer finally understood from the bottom of his heart.

The existence before my eyes was probably what was called "God".

Even though I have equipped myself with a large number of magic items, I still feel extraordinary pressure in front of him.

If he wasn't careful, he, who was called the "Blood Emperor", would have to kneel down.

"I sincerely thank you for your trust, Lord Gilkenifer."

Because of his skull face, it is impossible to tell Momonga's current expression, but his attitude is very clear and confident, indicating that neither the Lich King nor the Kingdom Army can be a problem at all.

Wait for tomorrow.

The answer will be revealed when the war begins.

......

"Then the meeting begins now."

At a palace meeting in the Kingdom of Re-Estize, the Kingdom's Warrior Captain Gazef stood beside the king on the throne, his eyes wide open.

He looked at the figures of the six nobles and found a figure with a unique temperament among the many nobles. The man wore the crown of the god of death, a robe like the Dark Pope, and held a luxurious scepter in his hand, exuding majesty and momentum that kept the living away.

Those with sharp ears already knew what the next meeting would be about, and those who didn't also noticed the change in atmosphere and became serious.

"First of all, I would like to thank High Priest Karsus, the Deathsinger, for coming to our aid. Now the Lich King is no longer a threat, and we can focus on fighting the combined forces of the Baharus Empire and the Sorcerous Nation."

The king expressed his sincere gratitude and bowed to Shen Yuan.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing the king bow, the three princes and princesses present also bowed their heads.

The most eye-catching among them is the third daughter, "Golden Princess" Lana, followed by the second prince, who is the most famous after the king.

Finally, there is the eldest son, the first prince.

Other middle-aged men such as marquises and earls, and nobles with decent looks also came forward. They owned gold mines and mithril mines in their respective territories and represented the kingdom's greatest financial strength. If the kingdom fell, they would naturally fall as well.

Therefore, fighting a war is also to consolidate one's own position, and financial support is naturally indispensable.

"No need for that, Your Majesty. Purifying the undead is my duty."

Shen Yuan saluted slightly. He saw the "Golden Princess" Lana winking at him crazily. The girl seemed very naughty, as if she was mocking his lies.

Upon noticing this, Warrior Captain Gazef said nothing. He simply suspected that the Golden Princess might be having a sexual relationship with the Death Chanter, but considering the fate of the nation that lay ahead, it was insignificant.

"It's like this. The Empire has sent an envoy... You are to read out the declaration of war brought by the Empire."

The servant on standby obeyed the order and read the article written on parchment.

The content is as follows:

"The Baharus Empire has recognized the Nazarick organization, led by the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, the Great Magic Chanter, as a nation, and an alliance has been formed between the two nations."

"The Emperor of the Empire declares that the lands surrounding E-Rantel were originally occupied by the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, and that the Kingdom of Re-Estize is now unlawfully occupying them. Therefore, the Kingdom must return the lands to their original owners. If the Kingdom refuses to heed these advice, the Empire will assist the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown in launching an invasion against the Kingdom and reclaiming his territory."

"This is a just act, intended to free the land from misrule."

What was read out was simply perverse logic, and forcing the kingdom to obey was simply crazy.

"To verify the facts, we have researched the kingdom's history and found no evidence of a figure named Ainz Ooal Gown ever ruling the territories surrounding E-Rantel. Therefore, this is simply an excuse for invasion."

"The same goes for the Lich King. Historically, the Lich King only appeared fifty years ago in a small southern nation, where he summoned a giant undead dragon and destroyed it. He has no connection to the territories surrounding E-Rantel. However, as an undead race, it's only natural for the Lich King to invade humans. After all, the undead are the natural enemy of all races. But who is Ainz Ooal Gown? Why would he ask us to withdraw from E-Rantel? Of course, this request is completely unjustified!"

The marquises and earls began to discuss the situation, saying coldly, "This madman who calls himself the Sorcerer King simply wants to invade our territory and seize our property and metal mines."

"That's right!"

"Warrior-Captain Gazef, what do you think of this Ainz Ooal Gown?"

At this moment, someone asked Gazef.

"I am not sure."

Gazef couldn't answer. This was the first time he had heard of this name.

But his intuition told him that this war must not be misjudged, otherwise it would be extremely dangerous.

"...Your Majesty...could you cede the outskirts of E-Rantel to the Empire? No, to that Ainz Ooal Gown?"

"You coward!"

"The war hasn't even started yet, and you're already scared?"

After a moment of silence, insults flooded in.

"But if we fight, won't our losses be even greater? And there's also the Lich King who may appear at any time. Once the war starts, we'll be under tremendous pressure! The people of the Empire can die, but this is our territory. Even if the Lich King wants to rule the world, we'll definitely be the first to be destroyed!"

What the marquis said actually made some sense, leaving everyone speechless for a moment.

"All right."

It was His Majesty the King who raised his hand to stop the crowd.

"I place my utmost trust in you, my right-hand warrior-captain. You have seen the Lich King. How do you think this battle will proceed? Also, High Priest Karsus, I have heard that you existed long before I was born. My daughter, the Golden Princess Lana, has also spoken highly of you. May I know your opinion?"

After hearing the king's words, Warrior Captain Gazef looked at Shen Yuan. Although Shen Yuan had not taken action during the battle in Carne Village, he must have been a powerful magic caster due to his relationship with the adamantite-level adventurer Feifei.

"Ainz Ooal Gown is nothing to be feared. I believe the Lich King is the primary enemy."

Shen Yuan, like Feishu, both belittled the other and then started bragging about themselves.

It seems to be a war between empires and kingdoms.

In fact, it is a duel between two PVP players.

One is a Great Magic Chanter who is primarily based on the forces of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, using the Empire as a pawn. The other is a Death Chanter who secretly manipulates the Lich King's identity, can control the Scourge at will, and uses the Kingdom as a pawn.

"I also think so!"
