Chapter 5 of the Finale: Existence
"Lord Lich King, everything is ready to act. ”
"Well, you guys go out first, wait for me. ”
"My lord, it will soon be dawn, and if you don't act, it will be too late. ”
"I'm telling you out!"
“...... Yes!"
Necromancer Tegetoni Nadel had never seen his immediate boss, and the always mild-mannered Lich King would suddenly lose his temper. Tegar and Tony were so frightened that they couldn't persuade them any longer, so they obediently exited the room.
The room was quiet enough. The Lich King Callovan gently stroked a kitchen knife in front of him.
The owner of this kitchen knife no longer exists in this world, so the curse that has been attached to the kitchen knife for more than 100 years has also dissipated. The kitchen knife that has killed countless people no longer has any terrifying magic, and has reverted back to an ordinary kitchen knife, with a rusty, pitted blunt blade that can't even cut through a piece of paper, let alone kill people.
Carlovin picked up the kitchen knife, held it carefully, and then closed her eyes, imagining how it would feel when Emilia picked it up.
This was the first time Callowen had picked up this kitchen knife, and it was also the umpteenth time he had taken it, because Emilia had become one with him, and all her memories and emotions had been integrated into Carloving's spiritual world. Emilia no longer exists, but she actually remains, because as long as Karlovan exists in this world, Emilia will never disappear, but will no longer exist as a separate personality.
Whether it was Howard's eighteen years as the Pope's successor, or the more than two thousand years as the Lich King Carloving, he never married, nor had any other women, so it was impossible for him to have children, but Carlovin did have a daughter of his own, at least Carlovin had already regarded her as his own daughter in his own mind.
No matter how high-sounding the justification, Karlovin believed that he had killed his daughter with his own hands, and although it was the only option when there was no other choice, it could not erase the grief and guilt in Karlovin's heart.
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. Necromancers study the magic of manipulating death, and many of them have become walking dead, but it cannot be denied that they were once human. Since they are humans, they all have seven emotions and six desires, and the same is true of necromancers, and even more so of the Lich King, who is the leader of the necromancers.
Since Tygar and Tony saw the Lich King's anger and impatience, the Lich King must have had a sad or happy side, but they didn't expect the Lich King's emotions to be so intense.
"Whimper, whimper, sob......" Karlovin was already crying like a child, tears streaming down his eyes - this was the main reason he threw Tegar and Tony out.
After more than 2,000 years of restraint, it was now the only moment he could free himself, and Karlovin certainly didn't want to waste a second.
The kitchen knife fell to the ground with a "long clatter", and the sluggish Karlovin didn't bother to pick it up. In the end, it was just a token, and at this time, Karlovan seemed to see Emilia's last look, and her satisfied smile was full of unconcealable unwillingness. Yes, although it is a relief for Emilia to be able to truly die, who has been tortured by the curse for more than a hundred years, who would be willing to disappear into this world so easily?
Karlovin didn't want to think any further, and in order to divert his thoughts, he turned his attention to Faleia, who was sealed in the ice of ten thousand years. For more than 2,000 years, he had been trying to resurrect the woman he loved the most, but Karlovin knew very well in his heart that he would not be able to do it even if he stayed here for another 2,000 years, but even so, Karlovin continued to defend with illusions, and this contradictory thought resonated with Amelia's ambivalence that she wanted to use death to free herself, but was afraid of death. Who would believe that they are not father and daughter?
"Hmph!ha......" Callowan smiled helplessly, he didn't want to dwell on Emilia's affairs anymore, so he deliberately diverted his attention, but he didn't expect to go back again.
......
A moment later.
It is used for sad personal time, and it does not hinder the progress of business. The Lich King Callowen finally sat down at the round table again. Sitting around the round table were more than forty officials with authoritative positions among the necromancers on the Isle of the Dead, including the Lich King's Guard.
"I think everyone knows very well what the situation is now. I won't go into all of them. The Lich King was concise and straight to the point, "Now that the Tower of Babel has been built, everyone will obey my orders--"
After looking around, and seeing that all the necromancers in the meeting were waiting for the order with solemn expressions, the Lich King Callowan ordered:
"Let's go to the Tower of Babel!"
On the island of the dead, the necromancers are doing something big, and the outside world has no idea at all.
Looking at the whole world of Olopa now, it is not peaceful, and in all the dark corners, there are terrifying unknowns hidden.
There is an abandoned church on the outskirts of the southwest of Hansha City, the capital of the Bole Kingdom. It used to be a semi-public stronghold attached to the Inquisition of the Central Church, but after it was cleared by the Kingdom's secret intelligence forces half a year ago, because of its remote location and no special strategic location, the clergy trained by the Kingdom were not stationed, and the nearby residents did not dare to visit, so the church was abandoned.
Overgrown with weeds, crumbling tiles, and cobwebs, this is the current state of this abandoned church. But in fact, more than half a month ago, this abandoned church was occupied by a group of people who can be called "antagonists of the bright side".
The eerie "first hug" ceremony lasted for more than half a month, and it was not finally completed until today. A sturdy middle-aged man, or rather a male corpse, lying in the magic array, suddenly opened his eyes, and he stood up from the ground, his eyes emitting a red light, and looked around with a puzzled look.
"Don't doubt it, this is the world you used to live in. Next to the magic circle, a beautiful woman who seemed to be the presiding officer of the ceremony said in a cold tone to the resurrected man, "You have been dead for too long, and we have wasted a long time summoning your soul back. ”
"I ...... Dead?" the man repeated in confusion. But when he lowered his head and saw his chest and abdomen, he finally realized that there seemed to be something really going on.
On his chest and abdomen, there were two rows of stitched seams, old and new. The earlier, slightly rougher row of seams was the work of the physicians of the court, who simply stuffed back the entrails of His Majesty and then stitched up the exploding chest and abdomen so that His Majesty could be buried with dignity, but then some time later the old sutures were dismantled, and the entrails of the corpse were repaired one by one, and then stitched together with perfect technique, so that the dead king could be resurrected completely.
Half a month earlier, on January 2, 1688, the day after King Duris was buried, the soldiers in charge of guarding the tomb were unwittingly attacked by their own shadows and all fell, but when they woke up, nothing strange happened, and the soldiers did not remember that they had been attacked. Of course, these soldiers guarding the tomb did not know that the king's mausoleum, which they were guarding with all their might, had actually been tampered with, and the body of King Duris in the coffin had disappeared that day......
"I recognize you......" After the resurrection, Duris stared at the woman for a while, and finally found the relevant impression from his memory, "You are Melissa, the ...... 'Bat Queen' next to the Vampire Prince." ”
"That's an outdated perception. I am now the leader of the Bloodline, the Vampire Queen. Melissa smiled and said, "Also, you made your 'first hug' with my blood, and now I am your master." ”
"I am the king of the kingdom of Pole, and I am not subject to anyone. ”
"No, Duris Heath, the king of Poole, has long ceased to exist in this world. You will have a new identity. ”
"A new identity?"
"Yes. Welcome to the Bloodline family. ”
