Chapter 33: The Land of the Undead
A calm and peaceful village, this is a neutral race, a village of the undead, and there are few people here on weekdays. But a lot of people came today, and Thor led the Terran representatives here.
The Lich King who rules here, a Lich who has lived for nearly a thousand years, does not even the Demon King's army come near this place on weekdays, plus the undead here are all separated from An, and they hardly interact with the outside world on weekdays, so it is a perfect place for negotiations.
I don't know what price the Demon King Army and the Human Army paid to get the Lich King here to agree to negotiate here.
Strange undead can be seen everywhere, golden bone soldiers walking the streets, zombies in shops, vampires wearing cloaks, no matter how you look at it, it looks quite weird.
"I've heard of the land of the undead, but it's the first time I've seen it. ”
Thor was a little curious, so many undead would definitely be a terrifying force if they went to the outside world, but it was really amazing to stay here.
The representatives of the human army were the first to arrive, and they were greeted by a dark golden skeleton, the soul flame emitting a pale blue light, the soul light flickering, and the sound was transmitted.
"Welcome, Native of the Undead, representatives of the Human Army, please come with me. ”
"The superior is not dead. ”
Representatives of the human army exclaimed in a low voice.
Just an undead person who leads the way is a superior immortal, no one will underestimate the skeleton in front of him, just from the energy emitted by the skeleton, he knows that he is a strong man.
"Is the representative of the Demon King's Army here?" Thor asked curiously.
"I don't know, I'm only responsible for guiding you and other companions who lead the way for the Demon King Army, but rest assured, since you choose to negotiate here, we will protect your lives, and you are free to move around the village until the representatives of the Demon King Army come. ”
The skeleton's demeanor revealed an elegant temperament, attracting everyone to look at each other, which is incredible, you must know that in the outside world, the undead are almost synonymous with horror and murder, but here it is like an experienced nobleman.
"Do you have any beautiful women here? It's the kind of person who has a good body, a very beautiful one. ”
Thor asked a question that he was more concerned about, and everyone glared at him, this guy really didn't change.
The skeleton thought for a moment and said, "Unfortunately, I don't know your standard of human beauty and ugliness, sorry, I can't answer you."
Soon, the skeleton led the human representative through the village to an ancient castle at the back of the village.
A breath of death swept over the face, and from inside a male lich dressed as a butler opened the gates of the castle.
"Welcome, our king has been waiting for a long time. ”
The skeleton retreated, and the butler led everyone to the center of the castle, where it was secluded, and everyone felt that even their heartbeats were very clear, and they couldn't help but start to get nervous.
"Representatives of the Human Army are here. ”
"Worked hard to prepare some food and entertain the guests. ”
In the end, Thor and his party came to the castle, a place similar to a restaurant, only the design of luxury to the extreme, whether it is the corridor or the dining room, it is amazingly wide, even if it is a banquet, it is too extravagant and wasteful to leave it to the undead.
Brilliant crystal lamps hung from the ceiling, and I don't know what kind of magic trick was used.
And sitting in the center of the table was the Lich King, whom the Lich Butler called, with pale skin, black hair, and a black gown, and an elegant demeanor, which looked like a noble lady from anywhere.
"You may be seated, guests from afar, I am the Lich King who governs this village of the undead, and you may call me Thea. ”
The crowd looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and Thor sat down first.
"Rude, Lady Thea, I'm one of the representatives of the Human Army, Thor, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Please don't be formal, Sage Thor, it's also my honor to meet you, there is still some time before the Demon King Army comes, please don't be nervous, I'm just the manager in charge of presiding over this meeting, please don't worry about me, just treat this place as your home." ”
Everyone began to feel like they were dreaming, and before coming here, they had wondered what the Lich King was like, but even if they wanted to break their heads, they probably couldn't imagine that this would be the case.
At this time, a group of lichs brought up all kinds of food, delicious red wine, fragrant cheese, and tender and juicy steaks, all of which were placed in front of everyone.
"I've heard that the undead don't need to eat," someone whispered.
Seya smiled and said, "Please rest assured, it is true that the undead do not need to eat, but there are also undead who take eating as an interest like us lichs or vampires, so please rest assured that the food is safe." ”
In the end, Thor took the lead in making the cut, and now he can't show a little fear, otherwise he will be underestimated, leave a bad impression on the adjudicator, and it will easily affect the next negotiations, and he can't back down.
Thor tasted it, it was delicious, it was comparable to the level of the palace, and seeing that Thor was fine, everyone dared to eat.
After a lot of food and drink, as if to praise the group of humans, Thea said: "I am in a good mood today, after all, I haven't spoken to humans for hundreds of years, if you have any questions, I can answer them as much as you allow." ”
Thor's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "If the peace talks fail, will the undead participate in future battles?" ”
"No, the fight between you humans and demons has nothing to do with us. ”
"Why do the demons want peace talks, do you know the reason?"
"I don't know. ”
"Is this negotiation absolutely safe?"
"Yes, except for you and the representatives of the demons, any creature that dares to step into the village will be wiped out, but we will not attack humans or demons because of this. ”
Everyone took a breath of cold air, they did have this kind of plan before, the plan proposed by the main battle faction, if the peace talks failed, provoke a fight between the demons and the undead, in this way, it could also buy some time for the human race, but this plan was forcibly rejected by Thor.
Now it seems that this decision was undoubtedly the right one.
"Thank you for your answer, last question, were you a human before?"
“..... Yes, I was a noble magician in my lifetime, I was resurrected as a lich a thousand years ago, and that lord gave me a new life and preserved my memory, and as a former human being, I sincerely wish you all the best in this negotiation. ”
"Thank you very much, Miss Thea. ”
Thor made a ritual among the nobles, and then the people were brought into their rooms and took up residence in the castle, waiting for the negotiations.
