Chapter 7: The Contradictions of the Council of the Dead
It's a passage coordinate, one end on the surface and the other on the underworld - as for the exact location of the underground, Mr. Lich knows it very well, but he doesn't choose to tell the humans. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
They may know about the "coordinates of the passage", or maybe they never know about it - but what effect does that have on Mr. Lich's plans? As long as a few of them reported this message to the Church of the Holy Radiance, at that time, someone in the Council of the Dead would have a lot of fun.
The lich sneered in his heart, and a cold wind of gloom and compassion emerged from the soul fire.
……
In "Strife", since the period when the Al Fa established the unified dynasty of the continent, the undead in the underground were far less closely connected than they are today, they went their own way, attacked each other, and after hundreds of thousands of years of countless wars, they gradually formed a dozen relatively powerful undead forces on the desolate underground world map. At the time, the leaders of these powerful undead forces were popularly known as the Undead Monarchs - until later, when the dynasty of the Epal fell, and the undead spent about two hundred years in this chaos, suddenly a man who was far superior to the others -
With absolute strength, he suppresses all the undead, including lichs, resurrected Death Lords, vampires, and aberrant resentful spirits...... These undead monarchs of different origins and races finally bowed their heads one by one after the battle, and then, at the initiative of this latecomer, all the undead monarchs reluctantly sat down and began to discuss their interests, powers, territorial divisions, and many other matters.
The discussion of these contents was like a quarrel for a while at first, with some sneering, some fighting on the spot, and some eager to return to the territory immediately to fight a bitter war - after the deliberate mediation and strong mediation of the initiators, in the end, everyone sensibly chose to settle the dispute peacefully: although it was a headache to go back and forth, it was better than openly deflated at the hands of that guy.
This was the first meeting between the undead monarchs of the underworld, and it was not pleasant, it could even be said to be a full-fledged confrontation between the tongue and the sword. However, in Diere's history, this meeting was later regarded as the prototype of the Council of the Dead, and its initiator, Eddie Gregory, now known as His Majesty the Lord of the Scourge, President of the Council of the Dead, gradually made such meetings a regular rule. In the centuries that followed, some of the original undead monarchs fell and some were killed in battle, but Dill had no shortage of outstanding descendants, and in 478 Arandiary (continental calendar), the Bone Circle Election Act was passed, drawing a line of hard merit, and the number of seats in the Council of the Dead was adjusted to twenty seats - in addition to His Majesty Gregory, there were nineteen full councillors, and dozens of alternates.
But at the moment, there are only eighteen official members of the Council of the Dead who are still in Dire. Three years ago, Congressman Spike Calvin was expelled. However, it is very puzzling that in his seat, Speaker Eddie has not yet agreed to let other alternates take the seat, nor has he shown the slightest intention of banning this seat, and every regular meeting, just let a wide seat sit empty.
Spike Calvin -
After a long day of experimental research, Eddie Gregory wandered around his palace bedroom, chanting the name over and over again. He was now in a very large room, with a high dome ceiling, and the star magic lamp at the top cast a bright light on his head, and in the center of the room, although there was a large carved bed made of pure gold, the owner of the room did not let it work at all—as a lich, the necromantic body did not need to rest, and although the deceased kept this piece of furniture in their dwellings, it was mostly due to their habits -
His Majesty Gregory, now known to the MPs as "Mr. Speaker", Lord Eddie, had walked back and forth in the room hundreds of times, and finally sat down at the head of the bed—his hip bones rubbing against the golden bed through the robe, and the hardness felt very unusual, but he didn't care.
He leaned back slightly, the non-functional piece of furniture stacked with all sorts of books, and he reached out and pushed the stack of bundles out of it, then rested his head on top of it, a curled up position that pressed his shoulders, but it made his hunched back feel a little stretched—long ago, when he was a tall lich with a jade tree in the wind, he was known for his graceful manners and conversation throughout Diel's world of the dead. But since that accident, he has been seriously injured incurably, his javelin-like back has become the lowest curved bow in the hands of a crappy craftsman, and although no one dares to laugh and talk about it, the pain in his heart is difficult to discharge, and with it, the strict self-requirements in his heart have begun to slowly relax.
It was in the years since the injury that the contradictions within the Council of the Dead have resurfaced - Dill with a common will is the real Diel! If the contradictory plans are left unchecked, this unified and powerful country will probably soon return to its original state!
He remembers the expulsion of Spike Calvin in the golden flames of his soul. There were no errors in the procedure or detail of the Code, citing the Code, but he remembered Spike angrily leaving the table when the council's verdict was passed - he knew Spike as one of the most senior deceased of the dead.
That year, Spike Calvin was a very good young man. Although he is introverted and taciturn compared to other lichs, his strength has a tendency to keep pace with the genius Angus Rosenthal - the other members of the council are old fellows whose strength has stagnated for years, and these two young deceased who became members of the Undead Council after the Bone Ring Act are Diel's hope!
Eddie Gregory pondered that the personalities, the way of speaking, and the personal relationship with Spike Calvin had been rejected one by one, but after the list of the eighteen official councillors had been turned over in his head, he could not find such a suitable person for the task.
The "Resurrection Experiment" can't afford to be missed, and after thinking about it, a skeleton jumps off the bedside, and he decides: use the soul possession to go to Norgo to convince Spike! Open up an extra passage for him to return to Dill safely!
