Chapter 482: Unexpected Progress
The arrival of the Age of Dawn means endless dimensional warfare, and at the same time, it also means that the door to the plane that binds Ash has been fully opened.
There are those who go out, and naturally there are those who return.
The undead empire has grown to this point, mainly because there are too many returnees.
Before the Dawn of Ash, it was not that there were no superbosses who became the Emperor of the Dead, but they often couldn't stay for a few years or decades, and they were exiled from the plane.
Such an evil and powerful existence is enough to turn the entire surface world into a country of the dead, so they are forced out of this plane one by one.
Of course, they are not reconciled.
Before the War of the Dawn, that is, the return and founding of some ancient undead emperors, those bigwigs of the ancient undead empire had a good fight with the natives of the Ash world.
As a result, nothing changed, and naturally, the returning Undead Emperors lost.
However, the Dawn War fell into a quagmire in the middle of the period, and when the main plane of Ash was at its most lacking in combat power, many undead emperors still chose to return, in the name of reinforcements and friendly forces.
This time, they were not rejected, and after that, they will not be rejected.
And this is not only the decision of the inhabitants of the main plane, but also the choice of the Ash world.
To put it bluntly, Ash is a small pond when the plane gate is closed, and the highly polluting creatures like the Undead Emperor will naturally be expelled, and after the door is opened, the vast ocean of circulation will naturally accommodate these wanderers.
It is impossible for the undead emperors to return alone, the dead have always lived with the dead, and the return of the undead bosses is equivalent to the return of a legion and a warlord.
And in order not to cause the warning of these super empires, and in order not to shatter the new era order that is not easy to maintain, after the first precedent was demonstrated, they naturally integrated into Ash's only undead kingdom - the Ciro Empire.
The original system of 12 consuls, just +1, +1, has now increased to 36+, and sooner or later it will be 50+.
In fact, there are many bigwigs who do not have the title of consul, but have the strength of consuls, after all, they themselves feel that this institution is a little too bloated.
From another point of view, it is the addition of these newcomers that has made the territory of the Xiluo Empire no longer limited to the Northland and the Ash World, and countless negative energy planes, other dimensions, and planes all have their territories.
Even, even the endless abyss of the source of chaos has their territory, and it is still a super large territory with dozens of layers.
The living have limits, but the dead are eternal, the cycle of life and death has not been broken, and these undead bosses are the "wealth" accumulated in this world for thousands of years.
If you really look at the overall strength, no superpower can compare to the Empire of the Undead, after all, it alone replaces all the dead, and all the other great powers combined are the living.
It's just that the undead bosses have a lot of ideas, and most of them are unusually negative, and escapism and seclusion are the mainstream lifestyles of these dead people.
They who have lost their lives are also very lacking in motivation and action.
It is a pity that there are hawks and doves in any country, there are normal mainstream and non-mainstream, there are those who do not want to move, and there are inevitably those who are too active.
The so-called royal faction is such a group of people, don't expect them to be loyal and believe in the so-called undead emperor and royal bloodline, they just need a slogan of unity and action.
And these activists are also very different within themselves, some want to encroach on the territory of the living, some want to lead their forces to conquer the starry sky and sea, and some just want to be active in the world of the living as the living.
The undead bosses these days are all so-called royalty.
Each of them will talk to Rorschach, which also opened Rorschach's eyes.
The original impression of the dead has disappeared without a trace, there is no essential difference between the living and the dead, and many people's ideas, goals, and ideals have made Rorschach refresh his three views.
And once when chatting with a bone dragon lord, Rorschach accidentally mentioned that he had also learned a little necromancy, and he did not discriminate against the boundary between life and death, and even had a little interest in necromancy and the afterlife...... The result was out of control.
After that, every undead lord who came would not tell Rorschach a little bit of his research results, a little secret method of the undead, and some would even give some "small gifts" full of death power and negative energy before leaving. ”
This is equivalent to having hundreds of undead bosses taking turns to give Rorschach classes, make-up classes, and cramming education, and Rorschach can't do it if he doesn't learn...... In fact, he is really interested, in his opinion, the cycle of life and death is one, and learning the knowledge of either side is helpful to the other.
In fact, it is true that Rorschach found that the mysteries of the dead can be used in the world of the living, and his natural magic has ushered in a rapid increase in all aspects, and another unexpected gain is that Rorschach has easily mastered the necromancy below the sixth order.
By the standards of the main plane, Rorschach is now a sixth-order natural mage and a sixth-order necromancer........ Probably outsiders can't understand why he would cultivate the ability of the two conflicts to such a high level.
Along with it, his laboratory has produced several new results, the results of the deceased.
“....... That's good, this arm of yours is really good. ”
"It's a pity, but there are still a lot of rules in the land of dreams, and they need to be further opened. ”
The undead were praised by a prosthetic limb, but unlike other mechanical, wooden prosthetics, it resembled an arm twisted together by countless vines, like a living thing.
Unlike other prosthetics that have been matured, this plant prosthesis does not have a complete blueprint, no functional design, but what makes the undead very popular is that it inherits some of the characteristics of the honest heart, he ....... It allows the user to obtain some pain and touch, and restores the characteristics of some of the living.
"I call it a parasitic prosthetic. ”
It's like a soul and a parasite on the **, which is alive in itself, and then shares the sense of pain and touch with the undead.
Rorschach tried to sell it to the local hospital, but the effect was quite poor, the prosthetic limb was difficult to operate and use, and did not listen to the command, and the touch transmitted was sometimes slight and not felt, and sometimes it was painful to make people want to die, which was completely inferior to the current mature technology and magic prosthetic.
But for the undead, this sense of touch and pain, which has been forgotten for an unknown number of years, is something that cannot be replaced.
Many undead even cut off their arms in front of Rorschach and put on prosthetic limbs, and then climbed up to the tall buildings to experience the pain of falling freely and falling apart......... This scene is really a bit scary, but it also attracts more and more customers.
A new order was placed, and Rorschach once again felt the generosity of the undead, who really didn't treat money as money, and grabbed a lot of antiques and ancient coins.
For the undead, time is not an issue, and if time is not a problem and does not need to be consumed, the deposit is naturally not a problem.
It's just that at this stage, in order to break the realm of life and death, Rorschach still needs to rely on the special rules of the Land of Dreams, which means that these products can only be sold restrictively, and it is impossible to export to earn foreign exchange or even sell to the undead empire that wants this the most.
On the other hand, it was these new things that made the undead monarchs really pay attention to Rorschach.
Yes, valuing Rorschach, not the descendants of Roland, this invention that broke the realm of life and death made the undead very interested, and the fame even spread to the Ciro Empire itself.
There are even undead spirits who offer to accept Rorschach's employment and become a long-term resident of the Land of Dreams, so that they can enjoy Rorschach's gizmos and protect Rorschach from dying in an accident....... But Rorschach thought about it for a long time and finally refused.
"At this stage, it's better not to lure the wolf into the house, who knows who caused this accident. ”
Although he rejected these ideas, Rorschach felt that after he had really advanced and completely mastered this dream land, so that he was not in danger in this area, he could indeed consider recruiting some high-level undead.
Faintly, a sacred place where life and death are interdependent and balanced with each other is gradually appearing in Rorschach's blueprint. 8)
