Chapter 157 The Karthus Agreement
The meeting went straight to the point, without any foreshadowing, like the way most undead speak and act - a group of old fellows with a wealth of life experience and wisdom never disdain the hypocritical and meaningless spectacle. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The supply of Potion No. 4 is about to be interrupted!
After the lichs were seated, Eddie Grigory, the speaker of the Council of the Dead, stood in the center of the room and said. His stiff back buried his face in a cloud of shadows, and it was hard to see his expression, but his deep, deep voice and soothing rhythm were as usual when he spoke of such an important matter, as if he were talking about the weather in Cemetery.
Because of its location in the underworld, the sky of Cemetery City is gloomy every day, and it never changes much. But the current shortage of raw materials for No. 4 Potion is by no means as common as this boring weather.
"We lack human eyeballs, the fresh kind."
After indicating what was being discussed, Eddie paused and looked at Robert in the front row, who spread his hands, his cervical spine rusty, and turned his head very slowly, looking around at the lichs present, and he said bluntly. In the perception of the lich, the eyeball is the channel through which the soul connects with everything in the world, and it is an indispensable material for this experiment.
The atmosphere of the meeting was suddenly silent.
"I'm afraid it's hard to get these things right now."
The silence lasted for about three to five minutes, and a lich in a gray cloak sat on a wooden chair in the conference room, and because he was staying indoors, he removed the hood from his cloak, revealing a bare glowing crystal skull head that seemed to be coated with a layer of oil. The light of the magic lamp shone on it, reflecting a dazzling brilliance.
"Because of the ...... of the Karthus Agreement"
The other lich beside him muttered. The agreement was originally an exchange of interests between the Council of the Dead and the human nobles of the Northlands - during the Sixth Eta War, Dill promised not to intervene in disputes between the earthly kingdoms, and at the same time provide Elantt with some scarce war materials. The local human aristocracy, on the other hand, tacitly allowed the necromancers to privately collect and use the corpses and wreckage of the fallen soldiers on both sides. All of this was agreed upon in a state of high secrecy. However, it now seems that this "agreement" has largely tied the hands and feet of the Council of the Dead.
Two years have passed since the end of the war, and almost all the dead human flesh and blood that can be collected has been collected - it is known from reports within the Council that in the last six months, the Council has gained less and less in this area, and they have excavated almost every concentrated human cemetery in the Northlands.
After Robert the Lich spoke about the current situation, he began to remain silent, and a pair of lead-gray souls looked at Angus - this accident was only a precept to the outbreak of the shortage of raw materials, and the deeper reason was also inseparable from the cronies of the Speaker Eddie.
His personal flesh growth experiment also depleted a lot of reserves. However, he may have some private goods there now.
Robert's gaze was inquiring, and soon, the other high-ranking undead also reacted, and they all stared at Angus, including Diel's leader, Eddie Gregory.
"In my dungeon, there are still a few greedy human adventurers in captivity."
Angus said.
"Just a few humans? What should I do when I run out? The problem of raw material shortages still exists. β
"But the trial can still be carried out at the moment."
"Angus, is that all your human trapping plan come to fruition?"
"Because, I seem to be in trouble."
"Hey, are you being targeted by the church's dogs?"
The undead in attendance were deliberating about Angus, and one of the lichs let out a hoarse chuckle that seemed somewhat harsh in the solemn atmosphere of the meeting. When the [Scepter of the Calamity] in the hands of Lord Eddie, the Speaker, slammed on the floor, he was dumbfounded.
"Silence! What we're talking about now is how to solve this problem. β
The members of the lich, vampire, and death lords finally remembered the topic, and they sat down one by one, but for a while, even if they had experienced a lot of battles, they couldn't think of a suitable way to deal with itβin the past, maybe as long as one of them was willing to go to the human realm, those fresh flesh would not be lacking, and even if it attracted the Church of Radiance to hunt down or launch a crusade, it would not be much trouble. In terms of overall strength, the Council of the Dead is not inferior to those godsticks.
The Kalthus Agreement, a document signed between Lord Eddy and the human lord of Nogo, was a worthless stack of paper in its own right. And the undead are never honest and trustworthy gentlemen, of course, paper is such a thing as to wipe the butt when needed, and it can be torn to pieces or burned when not needed...... But things are far from that simple. When Lord Eddie signed this document, they knew exactly what and for what purpose.
This is a tripartite game between the royal power and the lord, and the clergy and their Dir undead. In the past long years, although there have been many contradictions between the nobles of the human kingdom, these are only internal disputes over the interests of the corners. When faced with Diel's dead, they will always give up their previous suspicions, and the church will also take the opportunity to intervene, and in the face of this situation of the nobility and the church joining forces, the Council of the Dead will not be easy to deal with.
Until the establishment of the Karthas Agreement. Although according to the terms of the agreement, it was no longer possible to go to the surface world with great fanfare, but some substantial gains were not diminished much because of this, and during this time, the great experiment that Angus submitted to the council was just beginning, and the upper undead were happy to sink their minds and spend all their time and energy on it.
Now, the council needs a quiet time - if the experiment is finally successful, the dead in this room cannot help but tremble with excitement at the thought of the promise of this project.
"The Karthas Agreement...... Now those nobles are in good relations with us......"
"Crystal Skull" continued. Eddie Gregory, the head of the Parliament, quickly nodded and agreed, "We should settle this matter without violating the terms of the agreement." β
"We've really become well-behaved babies."
"Hehe, this is just the logic of acting in line with the current interests."
"Problem Solving ......"
The attendees were enthusiastic again, but Angus was silent, he sat silently in his seat, looking a little absent-minded - Eddie came up to him and asked suddenly.
"Do you have any good ideas? Angus. β
