Witch, don't be so lazy

That was Surtur in soul form.

There are also countless chains binding it, but they are not physical, but pure magic.

"Let you see and prove that what I said is true."

Kunda looked at Momo and said, "I won't be able to get away for a while. You have to deal with the affairs of the Calamity Cult on your own. If possible, it would be best to investigate the specific plan of the Well of Silence."

"Hey, that sounds so troublesome..."

Momo pouted, "Okay...poor Momo, try your best."

……

the other side.

After listening to Bro's introduction of their plan, Anke pursed his lips.

Chapter 115 Plan

"After hundreds of years of preparation... are you sure your method is reliable?"

An Ke expressed doubts, "With such a long timeline, accidents are inevitable. Isn't Sutul a ready-made example?"

Due to his injuries and conditions, Sutur had to heal himself by fusing the flesh and blood of the evil dragon. This was not a problem, but the subsequent cleansing ceremony was really hard to describe.

Even without the intervention of the Well of Silence, even if the Asda family could continue to expand and produce a sufficient number of formal wizards, it would take at least one or two hundred years to share the pollution of Sutur.

As time goes on, all kinds of accidents are likely to occur, whether internal or external.

"Hehe, Madam Black Crow, Sutur has it all his own fault. Who made him act so weakly?"

Bro sneered. "If it were me, I would never allow the descendants of mages to move freely! I would raise them like livestock, feeding them aphrodisiacs to reproduce, restricting their freedom and keeping them under heavy surveillance. Then, as soon as their descendants complete their advancement, I would have the Silent Guards confine them, chop off their limbs, disable their ability to resist, and seal them in jars as living loads. And there would be no need to worry about their safety—"

The skull flew up and down, looking very excited.

"Sutur is truly unreasonable! Since he's chosen to use his descendants as a tool to share the burden of pollution, he shouldn't show any mercy and just unleash the pollution without a care in the world. He even stopped when the pollution level on his descendants reached a point where they were deformed and their lives were shortened? This is ridiculous! They should be left to endure the pollution until they die!"

"How foolish! Does Sutur really think his descendants will be grateful for his mercy? I can't understand! Anyway, his descendants will hate him anyway, so he might as well do it to the extreme!"

"As long as we follow my process, the Asda family members won't be able to resist at all. They won't even be able to investigate the truth, let alone secretly contact any outsiders! Furthermore, the entire cleansing ceremony will be greatly accelerated. Forget about taking one or two hundred years? I'm afraid it will be completed in just a few decades!"

Bro became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had been holding these words in his stomach for a long time and couldn't help but say them out loud.

Yin Ya next to him also nodded rapidly.

After a long time, they finally calmed down.

"Ms. Black Crow, what do you think?"

Bro looked at Anke, waiting for her reaction.

"..."

An Ke spoke calmly after a brief silence.

"If Sutur had this... ruthlessness and courage, he wouldn't have become a hero pioneering the South. He would most likely have become a glorious dark wizard, or even thrown into the embrace of the abyss."

She paused, "And Black Rock City and the Northern Tower probably wouldn't allow Surtur to do this. They're still too... pedantic. They can't compare to you at all, Bro. You're indeed a qualified dark wizard, exactly the kind of talent our royal court needs."

As a third-level apostle, Bro often heard his subordinates and colleagues comment on his ruthless methods.

It was obviously a compliment that was enough to make one's ears callused, but now that it was said by a distinguished guest from the abyss, and given such praise, he couldn't help but feel a little elated.

"Well, you're flattering me. I will continue to work hard and try my best to transform Surtur into a dracolich, and then bring him to our Well of Silence. Even if I'm unlucky, I will definitely help that bone dragon reach the fourth level and bring him back to headquarters."

Lich, a famous undead creature, a fourth-order extraordinary life form.

Adding a dragon before the name mainly refers to the fact that it can master some of the dragon roars and liches, and its body strength is far greater than that of ordinary liches.

Thanks to the flesh and blood of the Chaos Dragon and the soul of the Rock Dragon, Surtur is indeed qualified to transform into a powerful dragon lich.

Bro looked at Anke and made a serious assurance.

"If the worst-case scenario occurs, we will let him completely lose control and run amok. Then, we can guide him and turn this so-called hero of the Northern Frontier into a monster of the new era, who will in turn destroy the towns in the North."

The plan for the Well of Silence was not complicated.

Sutur is now in the third-level soul form. If he does not advance further, he will soon decay and collapse. If he wants to advance further, there will be two major problems before him.

Firstly, the pollution from the Chaos Evil Dragon was far from being completely eliminated, and secondly, the Well of Silence had added new erosion to it with "Wusu's Whispers".

If Sutur chooses to give up resistance and accept "Usu's whispers", Nabro and others will start the lich transformation ceremony to help Sutur transform into a dragon lich.

Since it has become a fourth-level extraordinary undead creature, there is no need to be afraid of the pollution of the Chaos Dragon. The worst that can happen is to massacre a few more towns and forcibly offset it with the help of resentment and negative energy.

This is the best possible outcome for the Well of Silence.

If Sutur is unwilling to accept "Usu's whispers" and would rather die than join the Well of Silence, Bro will perform a large-scale necromancy ceremony to allow that new body, that skeleton dragon, to give birth to a new soul.

Bro and the others wanted to help this new soul devour Sutur's soul, turn this ignorant newborn into a fourth-level bone dragon, and then take it away.

Because of the intense soul confrontation in the middle, its strength will be reduced to a certain extent, and the bone dragon is far less powerful than the dragon lich, especially since this bone dragon is still newborn, while the dragon lich was a senior fourth-level Fiery Sun School mage in his lifetime.

Therefore, this result can only be considered average.

As for the worst and least likely scenario.

Of course, that was because Sutur was unwilling to surrender, and at the same time he won the soul confrontation and returned to the fourth level.

If this is the case, although he did not turn into an undead creature, he is destined to go berserk - after all, the evil dragon pollution has not been eliminated, and Bro and others will adjust the rituals originally used for lich transformation/summoning, thereby strengthening the erosion of "Usu's Whispers" and ensuring that Sutur is out of control.

Although it can also cause great trouble to the North, it is undoubtedly the worst outcome compared to the previous two results.

The Well of Silence has been carefully preparing for this for many years, investing a lot of time and resources.

You know, transforming into a lich is not something that can be done casually.

As the most famous undead creature, the lich is famous for its immortality, which is one of the wisdoms of the necromancy school and a great leap in the pursuit of eternity.

Even if a fourth-level necromancer wants to transform himself into a lich, he must master a large amount of knowledge and multiple super-level spells, and spend a lot of resources to realize his dream.

As for mages from other schools, even with the help of powerful external forces, the difficulty of transforming into a lich is still ridiculously high.

Take Sutur as an example.

Even though Bro now claims that he is very confident in turning it into a lich, they have been preparing for hundreds of years, especially the "Wusu's Whisper", which is certainly an erosion, but also a gift.

This is a treasure that was only taken out with the approval of the High Priest "Ruined Shepherd".

Moreover, the knowledge about the Lich Transformation Ritual is not something that any force can master. After all, different forces excel at different schools of thought.

The North didn't have the skills to do that anyway, at least not in the early days.

According to Bro, before the "Bone Witch" was promoted to Legendary, the Northern Tower's attainments in the School of Necromancer were "a piece of shit." Even now, the City of Winter Bone has been developing for many years, but in the eyes of the Well of Silence, "they are all a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp, who have not been able to comprehend the essence of the School of Necromancer at all, including the evil witch. She only relied on her innate power to glimpse the mysteries of the dead souls."

It’s hard to say whether Bro’s judgment is right or wrong, as it always feels like it carries some personal emotions.

But she also admitted that, just as the world generally recognized that the Holy See had a huge advantage in the School of the Sun, the Well of Silence in the present world also had extraordinary attainments in the School of Necromancy, almost overwhelming other forces.

After a long period of preparation, and with Bro as a senior apostle, they do have the confidence to organize different high-level necromancy rituals.

"But are you sure you can destroy the city of Asda? Are you sure you can defeat Kunda?"

Anko asked.

Destroying the city of Asda is a crucial step.

Because whether it is the transformation of a lich or the summoning ceremony, the process requires a large amount of negative energy and sufficient corpses and souls.

Without these, it would only intensify the erosion, causing Sutur to run wild and out of control.

"Of course! We know that Kunda has the Requiem Record, which is targeted at necromancers. That thing is still very tricky, but it doesn't matter. The Wailing Angel is prepared for this."

Bro said in a smug tone, tilting his skull towards the silver fang next to him.

The latter immediately understood what he meant. When he finally got the chance to boast about his own achievements, he straightened his head and chest and spoke as if reporting.

"Though the Calamity Cult isn't as strong as our Well of Silence, you know, Lady Black Crow, that they have connections with the remnants of the Old Empire and possess unique skills. For example, the Angel of Sorrow, developed during the conflict between the Old Empire and the Church, was designed by the Great Sound Demon Andusias as a weapon specifically targeting the Choir."

Andusias, one of the legendary demons who once followed Solomon, was particularly skilled in music magic and a master among masters, but he has fallen.

"It was thanks to my unremitting efforts that Wither, uh, you might not know him. He's a self-righteous idiot in the Scourge Cult. It was only because he was born in the Broken Sea and is a fanatical follower of Dachis that he was finally able to master the Abyssal Serpent Staff and take charge of the infiltration of the Northern Territory."

Silver Fang said, "Because of my instigation, and the fact that the Disaster Cult suffered losses in Asda City and had a feud with Kunda, Wither chose Asda City as their target. Naturally, in order to target Kunda, they applied to Dachis for the resources and skills to create the Angel of Sorrow."

"This thing is the nemesis of most musical magic. If it appears, Kunda will definitely not be able to resist it. Moreover, the Wailing Angel can affect the mind. If Sutur refuses to join us, we can also use the Wailing Angel to increase the probability of the bone dragon devouring him."

Silver Fang grinned, revealing his silver teeth. "Don't worry. Wither is wary of me, but it's not enough. I participated in the creation of the Wailing Angel and made some secret moves."

"For example, we could turn the Wailing Angel's third cry into an indiscriminate attack. By the time Wither triumphantly activates that thing, his death will have arrived."

"Then we can easily get the Wailing Angel, and maybe even take the Abyss Serpent Staff away."

"With these two items and Lord Bro here, even if one more, no, even two, third-level mages come from Asda City, it won't be of any use. We are destined to complete our plan!"

After Yin Ya finished speaking, he tactfully handed the situation over to Bro.

The skull coughed twice.

"Ms. Black Crow, now that you have understood the situation, I wonder what you think. Will this affect your mission?"

Bro asked cautiously.

“…The impact is not significant.”

An Ke replied calmly, "Very good. You have very active ideas and thorough preparations. If everything goes well, I will definitely not hesitate to praise you when we return to the royal court."

The company then asked her what she thought.

She was completely stunned. She never expected that such a big thing could happen in a small city like Asda.

If she had just stayed in seclusion to practice, she would probably have died in an unclear manner in the end.

And you guys are really calculating, especially this guy called Silver Fang, a very successful undercover agent. He's so good at making fun of the members of the Disaster Cult.

Thinking back to what he had promised Esther, it was a mixture of truth and falsehood.

They did intend to summon evil spirits in the city, but they were evil spirits of bone dragons; they did have the ability to create liches, but they transformed Surtur; Silver Fang was indeed from the Cult of Disaster, but he was also from the Well of Silence.

Outrageous.

……

Compared to Ms. Black Crow's complicated thoughts, Barba Ling Abandoned Pipit Bro and Silver Fang just felt great.

There is no conflict in the missions of both parties, and there is no need to offend the distinguished guests from the abyss. Moreover, it is very likely that this opportunity will leave a good impression on the important figures in the royal court. This is simply a great thing.

"So... what are your plans next? Are you going back to Arthda City?

Bro warned, "You killed the Black Panther, the steward of the Mammon Society. This might attract some attention."

"Don't worry about it, I have my own way to deal with it."

An Ke shook her sleeves and said, "You should have a base nearby. I plan to go over and take a look."

Although she had learned about the Well of Silence's plan, she was not in a hurry to go back and report because she still needed to confirm some things.

For example, their base, find out the size of their personnel, and the progress of the current plan.

"No problem, it's our honor!"

Bro expressed his warm welcome.

"We have two strongholds around Arthda City. One is small, located at the foot of a hill ten miles away; the other is a large stronghold deep in the graystone forest to the northwest. Which one do you plan to go to first, Lady Black Crow?"

"If you're planning on going to a large base, I can greet you personally. If it's a smaller one, then Silver Fang will have to lead the way. I'm sorry, but I'm busy preparing for the ceremony right now and I really can't spare the time to go over there."

"...It's okay. I'll go to the small base first and see what happens. I'll see you later."

Anke waved his hand.

nonsense.

She would definitely go to the closer one first, and how could she be willing to meet a third-level necromancer alone? She must bring someone with her.

Go to a small base to gather some detailed intelligence, and then...

Anko glanced at the deep sky.

It's a dark and windy night, a good time to do something.
