Chapter 5: The Dilemma of the Undead Fortress
The Undead Fortress, as the name suggests, is probably a place where those who are undead gather together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since it can be called a fortress, this terrain name that describes the ultimate unit everywhere naturally cannot be a general place. If I have to use an analogy, the Pentagon of a certain country should be more appropriate, in short, it is the office building of the leaders.
Judging by the confession of the Dark Wizard Armor, about a dozen centuries ago, it was still thriving.
Well.. This word doesn't seem to suit the undead, so it's better to use the ghostly spirit instead.
And then it's like those fixed routines in the history books, although it's vulgar, but life just likes to develop like this. I was living a good life, but I don't know who picked the head, so I started a fight for some reason.
Anyway, I don't know what it would be like to lead a group of zombie skeletons.
But since I want to seize power, my boss's predecessor, the king of the undead, has disappeared for thousands of years, so the reason is easy to make up, anyway, the village can't be without an owner for a day, and the country can't be without a king for a day.
Let's not talk about how they came without a master for so many centuries before, the most annoying thing is that the strength of those undead fortress bosses is not equal. After fighting for hundreds of years, in the end, no one was killed, and many of them were beaten to the point of being half-paralyzed.
And then there is the court bitter drama where you punch me and kick me back, it's really hard for them.
So far, the situation has strangely balanced again, and let me sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the plan to steal war money has been shattered.
The fortress, which once represented the glory of the undead, has now been abandoned by the times and has become a dilapidated historical relic. Basically, this is the broken castle project that I took over.
But even so, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is a relic of the heyday of the undead, which is naturally extraordinary.
Although the bigwigs who once ruled this place know that the good things are all gone. All that can be left behind are rusty swords that skeletons don't want, or worthless trash like that, commonly known as non-recyclable garbage.
But adventurers don't know!
Adventure in this kind of ruins with leaky walls and rain, and its own crow sounds, in addition to being safer and safer than fighting monsters in the territory of other Death Lords. What's more, explore, pick up leaks, and show the advantages of your courage not to be afraid of ghosts in front of your favorite object!
you, you're not afraid of ghosts, and I'm not afraid of ghosts, except for taking the miscellaneous six (plus Alice) to overcome all difficulties and become the demon king. There is also the additional additional task of expelling adventurers.
"Gentlemen, the situation is very serious!"
The soul fire in my eyes burned brightly, and I looked angrily at the map handed over by the Dark Wizard Armor.
It is said that this adventurer's professional map is a must-have home artifact for adventurers printed by the very influential adventurer's guild in the human forces, and it is the latest version. Of course, none of this matters.
The important thing is that they marked the area of the fortress of the undead, with the words LV5-LV15!
What is going on? It turns out that the former fortress of the King of the Undead is just a leveling place near the novice village?!!
"Hmm... Alice, if you were to be divided by the hierarchy of human power, what level would you count?"
I turned my head to look at Alice, who was sitting on the floor, and asked the question that was my biggest concern, and the most important.
The current situation is that it is estimated that my melee combat effectiveness is on par with that of skeleton soldiers A and B. As for the ranged attack power, it's relatively optimistic, about the same as ten dark wizards combined.
But sadly, these combat power were eaten by Alice.
After Alice showed her perverted speed as a genius of the werewolf clan for a thousand years, I also recognized the first terrible reality since I became a candidate for the Demon King.
That is, even a few hundred of them are not enough for Alice to kill......
"It's about level eighty, how is it, Uncle Essine, it's very powerful!"
I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that Alice's eyes are flashing with proud little stars.
This is probably the kind of special effect exclusive to the legendary beautiful girl. Alice wagged her little tail proudly from side to side, always feeling that this unscientific and strange phenomenon happened to her.
"So you... Forget it, when I didn't say it".
Turning my attention to the miscellaneous five, I decided to avoid patchwork so as not to cause unnecessary exaggeration of combat effectiveness.
Nodding secretly, I'm still quite satisfied. If the settings on this map are true, I can count about level 20. And even the place called the "City of the Dead" marked with a limit level of only ninety-nine.
It feels pretty good, but I didn't expect a little Lori like Alice to be considered a top combat power.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, I thought my future would be paved with thorns, but I didn't expect the unexpected ease, it seems that it's just that Ah Shuqi is worried, and becoming a demon king is not as difficult as I imagined.
Probably seeing the contempt in my soul fire, and the look of confidence, the dark wizard armor hurriedly said respectfully:
"Forgive my ignorance, Lord Eshuin, for not perceiving your power, indeed, this novice adventurer map is an insult to your vision for the heir of the sovereign......"
"Now that I think about it, my subordinates have misunderstood your love for Lord Alice, and even doubted your incomparable strength. I'm really ashamed, subordinate here.. There is also a Collector's Edition map that is only available to experienced adventurers."
Looking at the humble appearance of the Dark Wizard Armor, I feel good.
Is this what it's like to be admired? Now I know why the bigwigs of the former Undead Fortress are fighting.
“…… You, well.. This level is only taken for granted, hum, of course.. After all, it's the Demon King. ”
Coldly taking the map handed over by the Dark Wizard Armor, I was stunned.
Realizing that his expectant gaze didn't seem like he was joking, I couldn't help but gasp.
I pretended not to care and said lightly, but in fact, I was already in a cold sweat. Those danger zones marked "high-risk and cautious"... Those places with bright red characters engraved with at least two hundred or more levels can only be challenged, and they abound?
But the data marked on the Demon King City made me can't help it, and I accidentally shouted out: "What the hell are these, three hundred... To the question mark question mark ?!!"
It turns out that the full level is not a hundred.....
"Of course, Lord Esthein, you know. How can the wisdom of those insignificant human beings be able to appreciate the power of the demon race! The Demon King is an absolutely invincible existence!!".
The Dark Wizard looked at me expectantly, and he probably thought that my shock belonged to the kind of disdain that I was insulted... Or something like that, in short, he continued respectfully:
"Even a candidate for a demon king like you, Lord Eshuin, is not inferior to the weak gods of the human race. ”
Before the Dark Wizard Armor noticed the facts, I decided to ask the question:
"I take the liberty of asking, the current Demon King.. Who the hell is it?"
"What are you talking about?! Lord Ashin, since the birth of the Demon Realm, there has never been a real Demon King! Only absolute strength can reign at the apex of the Demon Realm and become a real Demon King!"
This question made the Dark Wizard Armor stunned, but after a while, he continued, "Lord Aeshuin, you don't seem to understand the situation in the Demon Realm. A candidate for a demon king like you, my lord, is actually a powerhouse standing at the top of the demon world!"
"It seems that what Ah Shu said is not all water talk......".
Looking at the look on the face of the Dark Sorcerer's Armored Demon Martyr, I tried to swallow my throat, but unfortunately I failed.
His eyes turned to Alice, who was kneeling on the floor and wagging her tail, thinking that it was really Lori's level....
From her expectant gaze with special effects, I could probably tell that she was still proudly waiting for my compliment.
Calmly ignoring Alice's gaze, I turned my attention to a new problem.
"Isn't there one who is so strong that he almost becomes a demon king?"
After hearing this question, the Dark Wizard looked at me as if he had seen a ghost, and said nostalgically: "According to records, the closest existence to the Demon King in history is probably the Lord of all the Revenants, the Lord Lord known as the "Polar Night Plague"......
"Okay, I see, please stop. ”
After sparing for a long time, it turned out that the strongest boss turned out to be my former boss.
Well, the situation is clear. But even if I don't have to play the final copy, my current situation can't just be summed up in the distant future, no matter how you think about it, it's hopeless......
The gods are high, let's skip for now.
Although I don't want to admit it, but with the current configuration of the Undead Fortress, in fact, even a well-coordinated adventurer team can't beat it, which is still the reason why Alice Plus, who is the ace mascot, is excessive......
Wait!Alice?!
Thinking of Alice, who was still obediently waiting for my compliment, I suddenly thought of a very serious problem. The importance of the problem forced me to refocus my attention on her.
"Alice, your grandfather, uh, that bloodthirsty person or something, seems to be a legendary figure. Is it strong, how many levels is it compared to you?"
I looked at the werewolf Lori curiously and asked reluctantly.
It's a question that really baffles me. On the one hand, I'm looking forward to the fact that the werewolf Lori is of course very strong, so that I feel the friendliness of the novice welfare, but on the other hand, the stronger the novice hero, the greater the loss after my own death......
"Hmm!... Grandpa Voliff is a warthirsty!!"
Alice puffed out her mouth and corrected my slip of the tongue. Then he used his fleshy paws to support his cheeks, and after thinking carefully, he said, "About three hundred?"
The emotional breakthrough is here!!
It's too strong, what kind of home does a strong person of this level still have, go directly to the election of the demon king candidate, can't you even pay five gold coins?!!
Well, it's bad. Of course, I am a traverser, and even if the novice benefits are almost none, I still have a unique advantage, that is, my rich experience and perseverance.
In other words, the core competitiveness of the entire Undead Fortress has to be the theoretical knowledge of the rich five cars.
Okay, far from that, looking at the big picture, it seems like I only have two paths to choose right now.
One is to eat and wait for death, and be a waste dog.
Then I still suffer these hundreds of years of sin... What are you doing?!I'm tired and tired (fan) to memorize the whole library book, is it just for fun?!I haven't even seen the shadow of the succubus?!I've not even seen the shadow of the succubus.,Skip this one directly.。
On the other hand, the only way to slowly strengthen oneself is to annex the small forces around it.
In fact, this is also an indispensable step on the road to hegemony, including extending the evil hands to those rookie adventurers who are well fed. The occasional disappearance may also strengthen the security environment of the Undead Fortress, killing two birds with one stone.
I think that although we are a little less numerous, the success rate of attacking the unlucky ones is very high!
Come on, pretentious, anyway, there is a lot of time, I have been hiding for centuries, and I am afraid that it will develop for another few centuries.
As for why you don't rely on hiding to cultivate yourself, and wait until the world is invincible before you get out, this involves the characteristics of the undead.
It's also the reason why I've been doing skeletons for hundreds of years and I'm still a level 20 product.
If you can become an archmage by sitting cross-legged and dozing off like ordinary humans, then wouldn't the undead be invincible? Anyway, there is a lot of time, and there is no need to eat and sleep, and it is not easy to find a hidden corner to cultivate for hundreds of years.
The undead, also known as soul creatures.
Don't ask me what the hell a soul creature is, I don't know how it could be classified, it is. And the division of the strength level of things in this subject depends on the quality of the soul.
Quality and quantity are indispensable, and quality can also be solved by dozing off (meditation), but the quantity can only be increased through the soul link, that is, the feeling of overcharging the younger brother. Because of this, powerful undead creatures often mean powerful legions.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Wow, wow, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha......".
In the face of my heartbroken laughter, the six-member group hugged each other.
In a sense, I seem to have somehow fulfilled my original idea of establishing majesty, albeit in a strange way......
And Alice, as a child, finally has the consciousness of being a little Lori, at this time, she is covering the piece with a pale face... I don't know what kind of biological fur is woven from old clothes.
But it doesn't matter, bastard adventurers who destroy relics at will!Get ready and accept the punishment of justice!!
