Chapter 481: The Undead's Goal
A few days ago, there were constantly undead lords coming from thousands of miles away, and these bigwigs would often ask to meet with Rorschach and have a few words.
There are a lot of talks, a lot of talk, and some things naturally can't be hidden....... Or rather, the undead didn't want to hide it at all.
Many lords were very straightforward about their thoughts, and their straightforward purpose really made Rorschach not know how to answer.
"They want me dead......... Think of me becoming a high-level undead and a member of an empire of the undead. Even at the expense of investing while I was alive. ”
Inexplicably, Rorschach remembered some pre-mortem agreements, those who wait for certain organ transplants, come to you and give you a lot of payment, and expect you to donate organs before you die....... If you do sign it, it will probably be their turn to look forward to your death date, and come to see you every two days, "Why aren't you dead yet?"
The people who came were all the royal faction that Vinnathia said, to be precise, the lords of the powerful faction.
Every big guy chatted and chatted, and they talked about what centralization, what plane conquest, and what abolished the imperial consul system, and every time they talked about Rorschach's bewildered face, with a look of "what's the point of you talking to me about this".
These days, Rorschach has been repeatedly asked about his political views and views on the regime of the living and the dead, and he, a rookie who knows nothing, has made up a lot of lessons.
It turns out that the Empire of the Undead is very powerful, but it is also very scattered.
There are more than 30 surviving consuls, each of whom is equivalent to a great warlord or a great lord, and they all have their own territory and way of governing.
Everyone is within the scope of the Empire of the Undead, and only because everyone is dead, and there is always a gap between the living and the living, such an empire really only exists in the literal sense.
If you want to concentrate on big things, such as crusading and developing a certain half-plane, then only a certain warlord boss (archon) will take the lead, and if you can call a few companions, you can call a few.
But people of insight, or careerists, feel that this situation is not right, and they feel that the deceased should have a more suitable territory for development and a more effective state system...... To put it bluntly, they want a centralized empire of the undead.
But this is basically impossible in theory.
The reason is that the Emperor of the Dead is too strong.
Yes, that's the reason for this seemingly nonsense, nearly half of the imperial consuls are the Great Emperor of the Undead, and any Great Emperor of the Dead is extremely powerful, powerful enough to be comparable to the highest level of true gods, so powerful that one person destroys the country.
This is not a good thing for the powerful faction who expect to centralize power and concentrate the power of the entire country, because it means that no one can gain absolute superiority, and anyone can disobey anyone if they don't fight....... It is estimated that the country is gone, and it may be decades or centuries at a time.
In this case, they can only unite the forces that want to be united, that is, to contact the consuls who want to unite and centralize power, and form the so-called power faction.
But there is still a mess inside, these undead lords and undead emperors are all bigwigs and warlords, even if they feel that they should unite, they don't have the habit of obeying other people's orders.
Therefore, the powerful faction remembered one thing, nominally, the Ciro Empire really used to be an empire, and a super boss once swept through the mortal powers with the undead kings.
Although the emperor is gone, the royal blood is still there, and it is possible to imitate the mortal realm, and let the emperor's descendants be puppets, at least nominally uniting a group of consuls.
And if it is the descendant of that person, many of the undead bosses under his command should still give some face.
Well, at this point, Rorschach already understands it all.
The undead lords didn't hide anything, they just hoped that Rorschach would soon hang up, and resurrect into a high-level necromancer, and then become a puppet royal family, the nominal imperial royal family.
“...... If a person dies and is not summoned by a necromancer, he will not become an undead. ”
"Rest assured, our soothsayer has determined that if you die, more than eighty percent will directly become a natural undead. ”
"I'm a little kid, even if I have a name, it doesn't mean anything. ”
"Meaningful, the existence of the undead in the world is an obsession, many imperial subjects are destined to be eternally loyal to this banner, maybe joining the consuls in the late Dawn War doesn't care about this, but someone cares enough, as long as you integrate a group and a banner first, it will naturally attract more like-minded people. ”
"Yes, it's a pity that Her Royal Highness the princess died back then, and she didn't transform into an undead. ”
No matter how Rorschach refuses or denies it, the other side is really single-minded.
At this point, Rorschach can understand why Isabella would say to be careful of the undead, or most undead monarchs can afford to wait for their own death, but it doesn't mean that every undead monarch thinks so.
The undead monarch who doesn't want to be unified has a reason to assassinate himself, and the undead monarch who wants to be unified has the same reason to kill himself, and theoretically, they don't have any malicious intent.
At last...... Rorschach could only hehe.
You said you want the central cluster, and you want me to be a puppet leader, and I have no ambitions, hehe.
You said you had enough patience to wait until I died of old age, hehe.
You said that you didn't send the assassins who were hanging around the door recently, and you didn't want to kill me, hehe.
The talent for honesty constantly warns itself that none of these undead monarchs can be trusted.
was noddified by these undead monarchs, and they wanted to drive people out and signed a sales contract, and they couldn't leave if the transaction was not finished, and they wanted to spray people........ Rorschach felt that it was better not to give the other side a reason to kill him, and he would not give his head directly like this.
And fortunately, virtue came, at least within two weeks of their arrival, these undead did not come to the door, and even those who came to the door found a reason to leave, not at all like the previous nursing home can live as long as they want.
But Rorschach himself knows that this is just the beginning, the undead are stubborn to a limit, it is impossible for them to give up, and they will have to rely on themselves in the future.
"At least think about the good things, at least I'll be able to transform into an undead if I hang up......... What a ghost, isn't this giving them a reason to kill me, what the hell is that soothsayer is so immoral that he even takes out this kind of thing for divination!"
