Chapter 14: The Necromancer Prepares Materials

General Raeder of Kentan has the help of a dwarven alchemist, while Iros has the support of a necromancer, a Kotés Neo, and several dark elves. Behind the mouth of the mangdun is the whole army can magic, and the city of Bilti has a specialization in art, and each right-hand man has his own specialty.

The country of Destinipe is not as prosperous as the original city of Gride, the eastern frontier land, although it once had a glorious yesterday, but after all, it has now become a dead city that is unpopular and sparsely populated, and the city of Bilti is certainly not as developed as the city of Solo as the atmosphere of the god capital Siza, but it is still a place where the population of a country gathers.

The necromancer's biggest challenge here was to find a way to get some corpses that could be used for his own research. The vampires he raised did not bring with him, because General Iros was trying to quell the rebellion within the empire this time, and if he used such indiscriminate methods, it would not only have a bad impact on the general himself, but also embarrass Emperor Deliot. It's a paradox that it's not easy to get hold of dead bodies in populated places, but it's also a reality. Unless you dare to go on a killing spree in full view, you can only go with the flow. It's not up to him to be able to confess a crime as casually as he did in Gred City, and then take the opportunity to execute him. The Countess de Stini and Tarun Crawford, the de facto commander of the Duchy of Borot, were constantly hampering the actions of the Iros, and although they themselves had to obey the orders of the general, their people and soldiers were only at their own disposal.

The black elf, who had been released from prison, wasted no time in suggesting to the necromancer: "There is a Taiping Mountain outside the city of Birti, and there is an old mansion halfway up the mountain. The corpse inside may still be usable. ”

This is indeed good news, and the mage who was concentrating on tossing the undead immediately showed a fluttering expression and said, "If that's the case, it can really help me a lot! Without further ado, go now!"

After obtaining the command of General Iros, they hurriedly rode out of the city on fast horses and galloped southwest.

Taiping Mountain was not far from the city, and with the strength of the horses under it, the necromancer soon arrived at the foot of the mountain with a few black elves. He looked at the deserted mansion halfway up the hill and asked, "You did this?"

The leader of the black elves did not hide it, and directly told the truth: "The master doesn't know, we are a group abandoned by our compatriots in the Danse Forest, and we live underground all year round. The dangers and hardships we face are unimaginable, the stubborn dwarves will work against us, and the strange magical creatures will interfere with our normal lives. We suspect that the earthquake in Birti City was caused by the evil creature with the power to destroy the world. ”

The necromancer looked at the dark-faced, diminutive elves, who were not personally interested in the history of the group, but who was clearly fascinated by the monster that could cause earthquakes, and who, like all those who practiced magic, had a subconscious eagerness to seek and worship the mighty power. He had a similar experience to the Cortése Neo, who had almost devoted himself to the cause of polymath for a while, but then gave up on joining due to various coincidental or practical considerations.

Seeing that he was interested in that powerful monster, the Black Elf continued, "Master, there must be many hidden secrets under that Bojiao church in the city of Birti. But when we first broke in, we couldn't find any flaws. The monster that can cause earthquakes is definitely a nightmare for the entire Bodi continent, our race lives underground, and is the first to suffer, but its ambition obviously does not stop in the dark, it will one day come to broad daylight and destroy all living beings. ”

"How did this house on the mountainside end up with you?"

"The master doesn't know. The pointed ears of the eyes kept turning, which made it difficult not to hesitate when he said what he said, even if it was from the heart, "The elves are already an independent race, and with our dark complexion, how easy is it to step into a human city with dignity? The people in this old mansion are said to be relatives of the old Count of Estini, who died in the earthquake, and we originally wanted to use their help to help enter the city." Unexpectedly, the earth suddenly shook, and these people didn't know what to do, and they thought we did it. They rushed up to us desperately regardless of life or death, so we had to obey their wishes. It's a pure coincidence, and we didn't mean to do it. ”

He smiled and said: "It is indeed rare to see an elf with such a deep skin like you, but I think it is an exaggeration to say that you will not let you enter the city? Behind your ass is a huge troll, which is the main reason why you can't enter the city, but it's a pity that you haven't made enough effort to outwit or outwit your opponents, so you can't achieve anything nowhere. ”

The black elf scratched his pointed ears and grinned bitterly, "The matter is already extremely critical, and to deal with that demon who has the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea, you can only rely on the efforts of all intelligent beings." Your human religion is the oldest and most well-organized mage organization in the entire Bodi continent, and the glorious work of the prophet Cyril has left many commendable stories among all races. Our people have painstakingly consulted countless historical documents, and they unanimously agreed that there should be relics left by Cyril to his eight disciples under the church of Birti. Each of these eight treasures has the ability to destroy the world, and as long as one of them is in hand, it can take the initiative in the fight against that powerful demon. ”

"Oh?" the necromancer was also interested, "You mean that there are relics of the Prophet of Enlightenment under the Church of Bilti? You must know that in the northern holy city of Roma, the first Pope of the Tamborance Empire, Clement, successfully resisted the invasion of the Desets with one of these treasures, creating a peaceful time for hundreds of years. If it is true as you say, then these things should not be suppressed by a small church, but should be brought out for the benefit of the people of the entire empire. ”

"That's right, I hope the master can talk about it in front of General Iros, after all, this matter is not trivial in every way. Even if you don't think there's any threat from the Great Demon, it's not a good thing for anyone else that Bojiao has such a powerful treasure!"

The Necromancer knew very well that this statement was clearly an allusion to the side of Emperor Diviot, whom General Iros served. He himself didn't have any special feelings for the Tamborance Empire, and the reason why General Iros was able to recruit him was entirely due to an inconvenient past incident with outsiders. He had committed a robbery of the people's daughters in the imperial capital of Cisa, and at that time, General Iros was about to lead the Praetorian Guard to the city of Gred to guard the mausoleum of the Guvion Empire. The bearded and high-spirited general lacked a right-hand man at his disposal, and the necromancer was escorted to prison by Iros, who was destined to cooperate with them. The black-clad wild mage has a particularly impressive temperament, he shows no signs of frustration about being imprisoned, and his forehead is engraved with a gold seal, which makes people know at a glance that he is a strange man with magical talents. Iros immediately decided to enlist him in the army as his advisor, and there was no allowance other than food to offset the great or small sin. The necromancer had no choice, so he was happy to follow the general to break through the border.

When the black elves saw him thoughtful, they waited quietly to the side, looking very obedient. These guys were originally going to take this opportunity to escape from the Ascension, but then they changed their minds, and the responsibility they bear is very heavy, if they go back so easily without a trace of results, they will inevitably be scolded by the clansmen and even have to worry about their lives. Underground life has long turned these pointy ears that should wander between the forests and seas on the surface into monsters with dark minds, and their flowers of violence are blooming more and more vigorously, and almost all of them have become bloodthirsty and cruel demons. Unlike the dwarves who naturally like to live underground, the Black Elves were forced to move underground by the Civil War. The hatred in their hearts grew deeper and deeper, and their ability to fight alone gradually surpassed that of their fellow citizens in the Dans Forest who had defeated them.

But the heavens seem to be playing a cruel joke on them, not only to seek revenge on their fellow elves in the forest, but also to be prepared for the mighty yet unknown creatures that could destroy their lair at any moment. Their minds are actually fragile, because the dwarves who are also facing such a threat do not seem to have the slightest sense of apocalypse. The sons of the cave are still in order, the underground look down on the ground, and the family history looks down on the unknown. The Black Elves refer to these stubborn dwarves as Stone Nerds, ironically saying that they only know how to live with the underground caverns and do not care about the changes in the world at all.

Regardless, the purpose of the necromancer's trip was achieved. There were four or five corpses lying in the old mansion, large and small, and although they all showed signs of rancidity, they could still meet the requirements of spellcasting and research.

In this way, the few capable generals under Iros are basically ready to stop, wanting to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
