Chapter 176: The Army of the Undead (Final Chapter)
The reason why Kilron wore such a grand dress tonight was not to show his respect for Rogge, but because he wanted to remind Rog in this way that even if you were the only legendary mage in this world, what would you do?
But Rogge never cared about it, and it was the same today. He put down his work, turned his head and glanced at Kilrohn lightly, then bowed and saluted: "Good evening, my majesty." ”
"How's it going?" said Kilron, nodding his head, repeating the question he had just asked.
"As you can see. Rog leaned slightly to allow Kilron to see clearly what was in front of him, it was a stone slab as black as ink, but the entire surface of the slate emitted a faint purple magical light, and in this candle-lit room, it looked a little more eerie and terrifying.
If one could look closely at the slate, he would see that not the entire surface of the slab was glowing. The light was all emitted by the hair-thin magic patterns engraved on the stone slabs, but because these magic lines were too thin and dense. So, if you look at it from a distance, these tiny magic lines seem to form a glowing plane, so much so that it gives the impression that the entire slate is glowing.
"How many are these?" asked Kilron, looking at the slate. In fact, he knew how difficult it was to sketch such a complex set of magic patterns. However, Rogge relied on his own strength to complete a series of operations from design to engraving to charging enchantment.
"Six hundred and forty-three. Rogge said with a smile.
"So...... Twenty-three pieces missing?" Kilron's eyes flashed with excitement and cruelty.
"Yes. Rogge nodded: "According to the current progress, when all the modules are completed, this circle will be able to operate successfully." By that time......"
"When the time comes......" Kilron said through gritted teeth, "at that time, it will be the day of the fall of the Hawke Empire! Ralvin, Alexander, Alfred, and all the ministers and subjects of the Hawke Empire, I will let them all die! I will make the northerners disappear from this world completely!"
"Rogge will assist you. Because your wish is my wish. Rogge bowed gracefully, only to add in his heart, "Just a part of my wish......"
"The new shipment should have arrived, I'll go out with you to have a look!" Kilron said suddenly, in fact, he chose to come to Rogge in the middle of the night tonight, just to check the content of Rogge's work with his own eyes. There were so many risks involved in this plan that even Kilron himself was not sure if Rogge was lying to him.
Because that guy is a legendary mage, and the circle he uses is to prepare for a pinnacle spell. As we know, every mage who steps into the realm of legends creates their own pinnacle spell.
As the strongest spellcasters who have insight into the nature of the world's magic, the pinnacle spells they create may differ from ordinary spells in terms of their structure and operation. Because the pinnacle spell has jumped out of the magic operation principle recognized by other mages, and has adopted a new way of operation that the legendary mage himself has explored. And this kind of thing, in the eyes of other mages, is almost incomprehensible.
Therefore, even though Kilron is a high-level mage with the name "Under the Legend", however, the high-level is not a legend after all. With his current attainments in magic, he still couldn't fully understand what the magic arrays created by Rogge would do.
Moreover, Kilron did not fully trust Rogge. There are too many doubts about this legendary mage who suddenly appeared, if it weren't for the fact that the empire was on the verge of storming at this time and had to rely on his power, Kilron didn't actually want to bet everything on Rogge.
For these reasons, the old king, Kilron, had to rely on Rog while being on guard against Rog. And tonight, he wants to make sure again if Rogge has any other small moves.
"Of course, please come with me. Rogge readily agreed, placing the slate on the table and pushing open the door to the alchemy lab.
Rog's alchemy lab was underground, and when he and Kilron went upstairs together, they were in the wooded hut mentioned earlier. Rogge pushed open the door, and the two carriages outside the door had been parked at this time, and the coachman who was driving the carriage was standing there quietly, they knew that it would not be long before Rogge would come out, but they didn't expect that the Imperial King Kilron was also here.
"Meet Your Majesty. The two coachmen hurriedly saluted Kilroan.
"No courtesy. Kilron said lightly, and then he asked Rogge, "How long will these goods be enough for you?"
"You should know that this thing is ......," Rogge paused and continued, "Actually, it also looks good." ”
"Then open it and take a look. ”
"Your Majesty......" Rogge seemed to want to do something to persuade.
"Don't worry about me, I'm also a high-level mage after all, and there are some things that I've been used to seeing for a long time. Kilron shook his head and said quietly.
So Rogge didn't try to persuade him any more, he nodded, and then two red rays lit up from his pupils.
Countless small and trivial sounds began to sound from all sides of the woods, although the lights and environment in the woods did not change much. But both the two trained Intelligence Agency agents and Kilron clearly felt that the woods had a bit more of an eerie aura because of Rog's power.
Kilron silently blessed himself with a calming spell, which made him feel better. He turned his head to look at Rogge, and found that the middle-aged man with an elegant face and a neat sideburns beard at this time also became gloomy and hideous because of the two red spots on his pupils. This made the old king secretly surprised in his heart.
Gradually, the small, trivial sounds around the woods began to grow louder. Kilron looked around, and then he saw a myriad of dark red lights lit up like elusive ghosts.
Cha...... Cha......
Countless people came out of the woods, and if the students of the Stoke Imperial Academy of Magic saw this scene, they would be surprised. Because the woods were so quiet on weekdays, it was impossible for them to accommodate so many people! Even if they didn't make a sound, they wouldn't have been able to find so much food in the woods!
However, if they could really observe it closely, they would no longer be surprised, but would become frightened. Because these moving things, with dark red eyes, are not people at all, but ...... Undead!
Fifty undead creatures emerged from the bottom of the woods, and they staggered forward, toward ...... The only four living people present walked over slowly. The undead walked without any regularity, everyone staggered and did not make a sound. Only the chaotic footsteps, which sounded throughout the woods, made people feel even more terrifying.
Two of the Intelligence Agency agents who had once terrified and trembled the guards who had been baptized in blood and fire began to tremble. This fear is the most primitive instinct and nature of human beings, and it is almost impossible to eliminate it with training. Even if they've seen it several times.
The horses began to neigh, but Rog was clearly prepared for it. He gently raised his hand and cast a spell, and the horses settled down again.
"Gollum ......" Kilron couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, as a high-level mage, he naturally had a lot of contact with necromantic spells, but I have to say that as long as it is not the kind of person with a shadow of psychology, normal people will be a little afraid when they come into contact with these lifeless creatures.
But on the other hand, Rogge, except for the terrible red glow of his eyes. This middle-aged man, who looked as elegant and polite as a nobleman, had a flat face, and even when he saw these undead, his eyes actually showed a little joy......
The undead eventually entered the courtyard of the cabin, but they restrained their hatred and hatred for the living creatures, and simply divided into two teams and began their work.
An undead with a completely rotten palm muscle stretched out the sharpened bones of his hand and sliced through the tarpaulin on the carriage. And when the tarpaulins burst into a small opening, an indescribably rotting stench spread through the woods.
Kilron frowned, but didn't speak. The undead continued to cut the tarpaulin with the bones of their hands, as the tarpaulin was uncovered by the undead. The monstrous stench that comes to your nose almost kills you.
The two wagons contained nothing but corpses, all sorts of decomposing or non-decomposing human corpses.
The undead unfastened the sides of the carriage, and the side walls of the carriage that had been used for shelter were flattened, and the corpses scattered to the ground with a loud bang. One of the heads appeared to have been knocked off by the collision during transportation, and it rolled around with a gurgling circle before landing at Kilroon's feet.
"These are the soldiers of the Empire. Rogge said lightly.
"Then let them continue to fight for the Empire after they die!" replied Kilron, kicking the head away by the way.
The undead slowly made their way to the basement with the corpse in their arms. In addition to a spacious alchemy laboratory, Rogge's basement also has a door.
When the door was pushed open, a rich, intense purple glow lit up inside. Kilrohn squinted his eyes and walked in, and then he saw a huge room as large as the main hall of his palace.
The walls of this room were inlaid with stone slabs in various places, similar to those that Kilron had seen in Rogue Alchemy Laboratory before. They are embedded in the walls of the room, and are linked to each other by some elusive and strange magical patterns.
"It's different from the regular plane circle. Rog walked in with the stone slab he had just finished, and the undead behind him began to lay the corpses in the hall. Rogge, on the other hand, looked at the space and explained, "I have to use a three-dimensional circle to complete this complex spell. And this spell, if once completed, then ......"
Rogge paused, then smiled and continued: "Then we can create an army of undead and loyal people who have been tens of thousands of immortals for you. ”
