Chapter 85: The Pope's Throne
The lich knew that I had entered the lab with him, and he didn't speak, probably acquiescing to me watching him modify Anridenol's body, and he hadn't forbade me until now. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Why do you want to modify this body?" I asked the Lich if this kind of thing didn't do the Lich any good, it just improved Anridenor's combat ability in the future, and indirectly helped me.
"There are not so many whys, sometimes you don't necessarily need a reason to do things, as long as you have the interest and conditions, you can do what you want to do, this kind of casual life without any purpose is the dream of some human beings!" The lich sighed.
"Is it like those ordinary human beings who don't know why they live, but they really live mediocre lives?" I say.
"It's pretty much the same, but they're exactly different, and as for what the difference is, you might be able to see for yourself in the near future."
With that, the lich began to lay down his head. Feel it for yourself? In that case, I might be able to leave Shadowfang Island soon? It's no wonder that the lich has been teaching me undead summoning these days, it turns out to increase my self-preservation strength.
The lich saw that I was deliberately slowing down the speed of his operation, in fact, he could completely let go of his speed, I could record the whole scene with the help of the soul sea, and then study it slowly. Besides, I don't know anything about body modification, so I don't know what he's going to do now.
But after a general look, I still understand the main purpose of some actions: the infusion of magic elements of each system is to increase the body's resistance to various types of magic, the absorption of dark magic elements is the most and light magic is completely absent, and the injection of light magic not only does not increase resistance, but also may have a reaction to affect the resistance of other systems.
It's impossible for me to use this kind of magic right now, but just watching such a fine manipulation of the elements of magic has made me benefit a lot from the manipulation of magic.
The next steps are to remove some of the muscles, strengthen some of the muscles and bones, and implant a large area of metal armor with magical properties into the flesh. The armor fits perfectly with the human muscles, and even when the lich folds Anridenor's body, the armor can be folded at a small angle, which is not at all as stiff as it seems.
"This is something you prepared for?" I asked the lich.
"Well, when I was in charge of the Holy See of Light, I ordered a lot, all kinds of models, and when I judged the Holy See of Light, I took it all out, but after bringing it out, I have been running around running for my life and cultivating magic, and I slowly abandoned this aspect, and when I saw this corpse, I suddenly remembered that I still have these things, so the interest came out." It's rare for a lich to say these words in a babbling tone.
"Oh, well, what kind of metal are these ductile metals?" I then asked.
"Andritech alloy, an alloy synthesized by the craftsman of the Holy See of Light and Andritek's own formula, can not rust in the human body, does not affect human actions, perfect fit and ductility, does not harm human muscles, after this alloy was developed, once no one cared about it, and it was known that it was later used by a certain Inquisition to put it into the body of some warriors to increase their protection and resistance to blows." Said the lich.
"So, shouldn't the Holy See of Light have a special army for this kind of transformation? How have I never seen it. I thought about it and asked him.
"Not only have you not seen it, but I haven't seen it either, maybe my grandfather did. After a force becomes stronger, the internal will inevitably deteriorate over time, and the Bright Holy See is such an organization, and the Bright Holy See at that time was not as strong as it is now, so the policy of the Bright Holy See at that time was much softer than now.
At that time, the interior of the Bright Sect was not as aggressive and aggressive as it is now, and most of the elders in the Bright Sect at that time were still able to understand the teachings with positive significance, so not long after this kind of reformed soldiers were developed, these elders jointly made the decision to destroy these research materials, and as for these soldiers who had been transformed, they were allowed to die a natural death.
Only a part of the research materials have been handed down, and after I found out, I studied it, and under the incomplete research materials, my transformation was only able to reach the level of now, but according to the research materials, at that time, the transformation was made of metal all over the body, only the heart and brain were still human beings, and the ability of that kind of thing was almost to the level of fighting me. "After saying this, the lich had already begun to stitch together the cut skin, and the transformation was almost complete, and it didn't take very long.
By the time the lich was doing the final touch-ups, I had left the lab, and I wasn't interested in this kind of transformation, so I might as well read human books. In fact, although I understand human language, I can't understand what is really being said when I read certain books.
The lich said that the authors of these books were relatively old, and that there was no connectivity to the world at that time, so what was written at that time was very characteristic of the author's place, and it was necessary to combine the author's place at that time, language, climate, and everything else to really understand what the author was trying to say.
With such trouble, why write something for others to see? Still, I persisted in reading the books on humans, some of whom I agreed with about their own race, and the Lich said that the easiest way to learn about a people was to learn about their history and culture.
The history of the undead and humans is relatively long, and even the lich said that he didn't know, at least I live in the human world now, and it would be better to understand the history and culture of humans, at least it would save a lot of power to kill them in the future.
As for the history of the undead, if I return to the world of the undead in the future, I will feel it if I am interested.
After I entered the study to read a book, An Ling had already woken up, as usual, and came to look at me before going to wash.
This life has been going on for a while, and I don't know how long it will last. After that, apart from the addition of the soul of a tenant to my soul sea, the main aspect of my cultivation also shifted from magic to the soul codex, and nothing else changed.
My ontological soul finally began to grow slowly with the cultivation of the Soul Codex, in addition to this kind of cultivation, the way for my soul to grow, as well as the way I was trapped in the soul sea at that time, absorbing the soul energy floating in the soul sea, but in this way, although the soul will grow relatively fast, but the actual control of this part of the soul is not as handy as my own cultivation, this is the conclusion I came to by cultivating in two ways at the same time.
――――――――――――――――
"Little skeleton, An Ling, you come out to pick up guests" The voice of the lich came in from outside the door, An Ling and I were both reading in the study, of course, An Ling didn't need me to be a special bookmaker for her for a long time, she was now basically able to control the Great Necromantic King Guardian on her body.
The nature of this curse is that over time, the person who is being protected will gradually learn to control this power, and this power will become stronger and stronger, and when the curse is guarded to the deadline, it is when the power of this curse guardian is at its strongest.
By the time An Ling and I went downstairs, the lich had already come in on its own.
"What about people?" I asked him.
"Who? Oh, it's nothing to do with you, I'm just going to let you move your muscles and bones once in a while, don't have osteoporosis. The lich snorted. He was about to enter the basement under the speechless gaze of An Ling and me, when he suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, look at my memory, you are members of the Shadowfang Island Guard, right, well, you have been appointed as an envoy to the Laishui Kingdom, and in two days you will leave Shadowfang Island to this country." ”
Sure enough, it's been a while since I'm leaving Shadowfang Island, so it's no wonder the lich has been so excited these days.
"Did you start like this these days because An Ling and I were finally leaving here?" I asked him.
"Don't be stupid, even if you leave, it's only a temporary departure, after the envoy delivers the news, you still have to come back, besides, what is there to be happy about me leaving." The lich gave me a look of disdain.
I didn't speak, and sure enough, the lich said it himself.
"These days are not excited, but happy, schadenfreude do you understand, the Holy See of Light issued a notice a few days ago, the current Pope Zoe Calvin Padmore Crisson is no longer suitable to serve as the Pope of the Holy See of Light due to physical reasons, announced his abdication, and the position of Pope will be selected by the Brilliant Presbyterian Council within a month.
It really makes me happy, Padmore, this old guy, in fact, has been in the position of the pope for a long time, although he has no power and deeds, but from the outside, he is the most powerful man in the world.
Because of physical reasons, the Presbyterian Council is also interesting enough that he did not directly say that he died of illness as he did with me, but presumably he is not in a very good situation now, either imprisoned or locked in the Inquisition. ”
Is the Pope of Light really replaced? So the Lich's prophecy was really accurate?
"Don't look at me like that, there must be someone to blame for such a thing as summoning the undead, although Padmore may not know about it at all, but as the Pope, he is absolutely responsible for this kind of thing, which is also what the greedy elders like to see, and it is estimated that they also contributed to it." The lich told me.
"Then how do you know that this kind of thing will definitely affect the position of the Pope?" An Ling asked.
"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak," the lich pretended to be deep.
