Chapter 11: The Lich King's Dispatch
Previous Chapter: Chapter 10 Brushes
In the center of the Lich King's hall is a long oval conference table, around which the Lich King and his necromancers usually sit around as equals. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to hua.], the latest chapter visit wรจn:.
When the Lich King Callovin arrived outside the temple, there were already people sitting at the conference table waiting for a long time. They are two familiar faces: the former subordinates of the Hellward Warden Buyos, two of the "Ten Heavenly Kings" - the "Grave Keeper" Taikulai and the "Ghost Assassin" Blair. Seeing the Lich King appear, the two stood up respectfully and saluted the Lich King.
Karlovin sat down on his main seat, his gaze swept over the two men standing below, and finally landed on the ghost assassin: "Your name is Blair." โ
"Lord Lich King, please command. "Blair didn't dare to slack off.
"You go out for a while, I didn't tell you not to come in. โ
"Yes. โ
After seeing Blair leave the hall, Carlovin changed his strict atmosphere, he couldn't help but get up a little, left the main seat with a smile, came to Tecurai's side, stretched out his fist and beat the latter's shoulder, and laughed: "Haha, you can pretend to be 'quite 'good'." โ
"The subordinates don't dare. "Taikulai is still very strict.
But his attitude made the Lich King unhappy: "What's the matter, after coming back for so long, are you still guarding the same thing as in Buyos?"
"That's not the case, my lord, but I ...... actually"
"Forget it. Karlovin waved his hand to end the incongruous chatter.
Techoulai used to be Karloving's most trusted person, and the relationship between the two was also very good, hooking shoulders and hip-hop was commonplace, which is why the Lich King 'handed overcover mission' to him, and it turned out that Teckulai completed this task very well. However, the Lich King also knew very well that in order for Teckulai to gain the trust of Buyos, he must first make himself exactly the same as Buyos in terms of beliefs, and for this reason, Techulai did not accept Buyos's negative opinion of the Lich King, and in such a long incubation period, the habitual thinking, words and deeds that had been formed were not to be reversed immediately after the mission was over, and it was impossible to fight and make trouble as before. Carlovin didn't force him, because he had also performed this kind of similar undercover mission, and he understood the bitterness in it.
"Tell me what you think about the incident the other day. "Karlovin changed back to Yan's mouth 'kiss'.
"My lord, are you talking about the Holy City? I don't think the point is the vampires themselves, but the truth will finally be revealed. โ
"Hmm. The lich nodded in agreement.
As one of the very few necromancers on the Island of Death who knew that the truth would exist, Taigulai immediately hit the nail on the head. (hua.โ)
"I think that since you asked your subordinates about this, you must be preparing to take action against the Truth Society. After a pause, seeing that the Lich King did not reply, Tecurai continued, "But I think it's too early to act on the truth. โ
"How so. With his back to Tecurai, he paced a few steps in the direction of the main seat.
"First, the Truth Society has been able to control the Central Church for so long, although I don't know how deep they have controlled it, but it is conservatively estimated that at least more than 30% of the strength of the Central Church can be absolutely controlled; second, the conditions signed by our necromancers and all the races on the mainland are still valid, and once we get involved in the affairs of the mainland, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of all the races on the mainland and become the target of the public; third, our island of death has just experienced the 'chaos' of Buyos, and its vitality has not yet fully recovered; fourth, I have received information that the Pope conveyed the order of the Truth Purges to the members of the Holy Light Cult before he died, and that the Central Church must have been in chaos at this time, and that we should sit back and watch the tiger fight, and let the Truth Society and the Central Church fight until they are exhausted is the best time to intervene, and it is not wise to wade into this 'muddy' water now. โ
"The analysis is very reasonable, but have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if the truth will swallow up the central church if we have been watching from the sidelines? And you should also know that the ultimate goal of the truth society is not to control the central church, there are even more amazing plans behind them. Now it's not that I'm going to take action at this time, but it's what I'm 'forcing', and we have to act. โ
"Of course the subordinates understand, but ......"
"I know that with the current strength of the Isle of the Dead, it will be too reluctant to challenge the truth. It will take at least hundreds of years for the vampires to recover after this devastation, so I went to find another possible reinforcement: the city-state of Nailo. โ
"The city-state of Naello?" Tygurai frowned when he heard the name, "I heard that the 'sexual' personality of that Death Knight is very strange. โ
"Yes, as I expected, the Death Knight is reluctant to come to our aid. Hmph, this guy thinks I'm using him as a gun, am I so black-bellied?"
"Others don't know about you, don't I know either?" Having followed Callowen for so long, Teckulai knew all the tricks the Lich King had used, and when he heard the Lich King say this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and whisper in his heart.
"Huh, what were you muttering?" the Lich King looked at Tecurai with a smirk.
"No, nothing. Taigulai shuddered.
"Although the Death Knight did not agree to join forces with us, my negotiations with him were not completely fruitless. Callovin continued the conversation earlier, "Being able to figure out the attitude of the Death Knight and keep the city-state of Nailo neutral is our biggest gain, at least we don't have to worry about someone stabbing in the back. Of course, the road we have to go is not only to find foreign help. With that, the Lich King took out a parchment chart and a pamphlet and placed them on the table, pushing them in front of Tecurai.
"It's ......," Tecurai said, bewildered, picking up the parchment charts and pamphlets.
"On the chart there is an island marked with coordinates, and there is a project on the island that has been going on for more than 1,000 years. Originally, it would take another two or three hundred years for this project to be completed, but now there is no time waiting for anyone, and the project must be completed within six months at most. The Lich King explained.
"What engineering is so important. โ
Teckulai opened the pamphlet, and it contained information about the "project" that the Lich King had spoken, but Teckulai could not see three or four pages, his face was "pale", his hands were shaking, his face was shaking, his face was full of surprise, and his mouth was still babbling: "Oh my God......! How is that possible? It's incredible......
Karlovin smiled, he seemed to have expected Tecura's reaction to do this, in fact, anyone would have a similar expression when they saw such a thing. Karlovin didn't explain much, but told his stunned subordinate the real purpose of summoning him: "Listen, you're the overseer until the work is finished, and I'll only give you six months. During this time, you have the right to choose any of the necromancers on the island who you trust as an assistant, but this must be kept in the strictest secrecy. If information leaks out, anyone in the know must be purged. โ
Cold sweat soaked the back of Tecurai's undead body, not only because the booklet was so appalling about the "project", but also because of the Lich King's words. Teccurai understood what the Lich King meant by "purge", for the necromancer, elimination does not only mean death on the **, but also the direct erasure of his soul, and what makes Techolai more concerned is that among the "anyone in the know" mentioned by the Lich King, of course, he Teckulai himself. This is undoubtedly forcing Techulai to sign a life and death certificate.
The Grave Keeper knew he had no room to refuse, and by the time he saw the pamphlet, he was already "in the know", and he knew what was hidden beneath the Lich King's charitable smile. It took two minutes for Teckulai to calm down. He put the parchment chart in the booklet, closed the page, and replied calmly to the Lich King, "Yes, my lord, I will take care of this matter." โ
"Good. That's what I'm waiting for. Go back and get ready, and call the 'ghost assassin' outside by the way. โ
......
Moments later, Blair the "Ghost Assassin" walked into the hall with a sense of trepidation.
Although they both defected from Buyos's camp, Blair and Tygurai are fundamentally different, Tygurai is a spy that the Lich King 'planted' by Buyos's side in advance, while Blair rebelled later. This doomed the new master to definitely not trust Blair very much - no one would like a guy who has a history of betrayal. Blair didn't know why the Lich King had summoned him, and it wasn't surprising that the new master wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate him and prevent future troubles.
But in fact, Blair thought too much, and the reason why the Lich King wanted to summon him was purely because there were not many people available at his side.
"Don't sit there, sit down. โ
"Yes. โ
Blair came to the conference table, pulled out a stool, and sat down very unnaturally.
"I heard that you were recruited from the mainland by Buyos, and that Buyos often sent you to the mainland to do errands. โ
"Well, that's true. โ
"Very well, I need someone who is familiar with the situation on the mainland, and I need to send you to the mainland for something. โ
"Huh?" Blair's eyes lit up.
The Lich King took out another parchment roll, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Blair. The ghost assassin picked up the parchment scroll and opened it to see that it was a portrait of a beautiful young woman.
"This young 'girl' is named Sophia Madan, and she is a descendant of the royal family of the former 'Bo' kingdom. Your mission is to 'invite' her back to the Island of the Dead. โ
The Olopa Sea is surrounded by the mainland on three sides, and as an important shipping route between the countries of the mainland, the shipping in the Olopa Sea is quite busy.
In the northwest of the Olopa Sea, there is a sea that slowly sails on the calm sea. This is a passenger ship from St. Pope's Island, and in 3 or 4 hours, it will reach its destination: Alexandria, the capital of the Rocard Empire.
At this time, at the bow of the boat, a young man stood in the wind, looking at the faintly discernible horizon, thoughtful.
"Ray, I can't find you anywhere, so you're here. Another silver-haired teenager came up behind him.
"Owen, we're about to dock. But I had a feeling of growing uneasiness in my heart. โ
"It's not surprising. Owen came to his side, and the two stood side by side, "I heard a few days ago that the situation in the Rokar Empire is not very stable, and I am afraid that there will be a crisis of civil war. โ
"It doesn't matter at all, I'm talking about a feeling that I can't put into words. But," Lei said categorically, "no matter what awaits me in front of me, I must go to that place: the Golden Dragon Sanctuary!"
