Chapter 58: Cakes and Cockroaches
The Lich is an archmage who willingly casts forbidden spells to turn himself into an undead in pursuit of eternal life.
When a skilled knight becomes an undead, they become a death knight.
If this is the case, then what about the king of the country that was cursed to become undead?
"Is that the Immortal King?" asked Ed.
"Yes. The Immortal King, Arummod. ”
A long time ago, before the rise of the Altan Empire, several countries on the continent vied for supremacy.
It's like the Warring States period in China, the Tired Stone period in Japan, or the Three Kingdoms period in Korea.
During this time, there existed a small and weak state called Graham (Graham), ruled by Arummud (Arum).
The kingdom of Graham has been invaded numerous times by its neighbors.
As the kingdom continues to suffer the devastation of these constant invasions, Arummod makes a radical choice.
He decided to use the memento of Cardin's curse, who killed the most people in history and later became known as the most notorious mage.
As a result, the capital fell under the curse of death.
Arummod, the royal family, the nobility and even the commoners could not avoid death.
Soldiers and commanders of the surrounding countries outside the palace were also annihilated.
After that, countless undead spirits poured out of Graham's underground.
Now, the kingdom of Graham has become a hunting ground for players known as Graham's Ruins.
The owner of Graham's ruins is none other than Arummud himself.
"Definitely stronger than the body I have now. ”
Edel pointed his finger at himself.
He also had some dark spots on his skull due to Caraco's lightning.
"That body is pretty worn, isn't it?" asked Conou.
Eder replied: "It's going to collapse." For the time being, this is still the best I've had. ”
In the dungeon of his previous residence, the "Hidden Laboratory", he has been piling up a large number of bones.
Of those countless bones, this one is at its best.
"It's time to change it. ”
"That's right. ”
"Okay. Then let's change it to the body of Arummod. At the same time as we clean it up. ”
"Cleanup?"
What kind of cleaning?
"The Immortal King Arumud (Arummod) is devouring all these truly despicable fellows. ”
Cono gave him an unpleasant expression, as if he was looking at trash or bugs.
"What kind of people are they?"
It was the first time Ed had seen him wear such a disgusting expression. Therefore, he became curious.
Kang Ou said simply: "Robber!"
"U-shaped," said Sibiro at the meeting point.
Just yesterday, they separated.
Therefore, he did not think that Conou would call him again.
However, Kang Ou called him just a day later, and Shi Jiulang had no choice but to do so.
"What are we going to do today?" asked Sibiro.
"Please help me hunt the Immortal King Arummod," Conou said.
"Immortal King Arummod?"
Sibiro tilted his head. He had heard the name in that place before.
"This is a level 150 undead boss monster. It is reborn once a day in the ruins of Graham," Conou explained briefly.
"Graham Ruins...... Isn't this the domain of looters?"
"I've heard that there are despicable people there. ”
"If we enter the ruins of Graham, then they will make a fuss and say that we have entered their territory. Not only that, but if we want to kill the boss monsters, then we have to fight first. ”
"I'm sure it's true. Conou said, as if he were talking about a stranger.
"Then why are we going there?"
"I want to change this person's body. ”
Conou pointed to Eder.
Ed laughed, as if to say, "Please take care of me." Of course, he didn't look like he was really smiling.
"Ah, if you had a stronger body, you would be able to wield more power. ”
Sibiro immediately recalled what Edel had said to him.
"That's true. Ed replied.
"Do you really need the corpse of the Immortal King Arummod?" asked Sibiro.
"We don't absolutely need it, but there's no reason to choose any other. ”
"Isn't it good enough to fight with grave robbers?"
In response, Con just laughed.
"Mr. Sibiro. ”
"Yes?"
"We had a cake in front of us, but on the way there, we saw a cockroach. Can you dodge that cockroach and run away?"
"So, grave robbers are nothing more than cockroaches to you?"
Sibiro knew that robbers were definitely not cockroaches. They are at least at the level of scorpions.
Of course, he agrees that the looters are garbage.
However, Conou disagrees with Sepro's ideas.
"They're not even cockroaches," Conou said firmly. ”
The walls of the castle collapsed in various places. They couldn't even see the top of the city walls.
The royal palace, the stone statues, and what looks like a fountain are all dilapidated. It's all ruined
This is the Graham site.
It was a place where endless undead monsters were scattered from the ground.
However, as soon as the undead suddenly pop up, an AFF company will stab it.
The grave robber then drags the undead away and kills them instantly.
"Ghouls eat death," said a tomb robber wearing a purple mask and turban.
"Collect items. Then we move on to the next point," said another robber in civilian clothes, dressed in the same costume.
"Understood. ”
This is not hunting. Every massacre within Graham's ruins was one-sided.
At the same time, the one who turned this place into a slaughterhouse was in the throne chamber, where Arumud was reborn.
He is the leader of the robbers and the guild leader of Malcolm, the death potion union.
"No problem?" Malcolm asked the vice-captain.
The co-pilot said: "We are collecting everything that is normal. ”
"Make sure to watch out for anyone who is idle or trying to steal anything. ”
"Understood. ”
The Dead Medicine Guild is a workshop.
The workshop is actually a factory where you can make money through games.
It operates like a slave and operates like a sweatshop. The leader runs away regardless of the conditions or benefits of the workers, and the pay is poor!
"Don't forget to meet on time. ”
"Understood. ”
"Remember, alumod is worth hundreds of times more than the garbage out there!" Malcolm said.
The vice-captain has now heard this.
"It's important because everything belongs to him in the end. ”
The vice-captain chewed him inward.
Malcolm is an alchemist.
He collected the poison from Arummod's body and created the so-called Arummod poison.
Arummod's poison is the most powerful poison the player can use right now.
As such, it is sold at a premium to players who conduct large-scale raids, guild wars, or plan assassinations.
Malcolm (Malcolm) took 100% of the profits.
The "garbage" that Malcolm refers to, or the meager profits made by the undead monsters outside, will go to his workers.
Despite this, the vice-captain and other members of the Dead Potion were unable to leave.
They all owe Malcolm and have a gang behind him.
That moment
"Hu?"
Malcolm frowned.
[The "Guild of Three" has declared war.] ]
[Fierce battles will begin.] ]
[The duration of the Guild War is one day.] ]
[Guild Wars are still ongoing, and the guild marker and name will be displayed above each member's name.] ]
Not only Malcolm (Malcolm) saw this message, but all members of the Death Potion (Death Potion) saw this message at the same time.
"What is this!?"
Malcolm looked shocked. Sudden Guild Wars?
"Chairman!" shouted the vice-captain's trembling voice.
"Calm down. First, find out how to talk about the "threesome" guild. ”
"Understood. ”
Just as the vice-captain was about to leave, Malcolm stopped him.
"Oh, tell all the workers to gather here first. ”
"Yes sir. ”
The vice-captain left.
They walked fast and fell into deep thought.
'The Guild War will last for a day. Our guild has 50 members and the guild level is C. If so, then they have to post a gold deposit of 2,000 to declare war.
Depending on the duration of the guild war, the rank of the guild and the members of the guild, the declarations deposited varied.
The deposit for the Death Potion is 2,000 gold!
That's worth 20 million yuan ($20,000)!
The winner can then claim compensation up to five times the value of their deposit.
So, if they win, they'll get 10,000 gold! That's 100 million yuan ($100,000) in real money!
In order to win the Guild War, a side would either need to surrender within the time limit, lose 80% of its members, or lose its guildmaster.
If these conditions are not met within the time limit, then the side declaring war loses.
However, the "threesome" guild will set the duration of the guild war to only one day.
The Death Potion Guild only lasts for one day.
"But the fact that they launched such an unfavorable battle means ......"
The vice-captain's face darkened. He doesn't have a good feeling about it. Something went wrong.
There are two types of people who don't like Conou. No, scratches, nasty.
First of all, a person who abuses power.
Even he did the same with the contracts of Ed (Eder), Darion (Darian) and Hiroko Nishijima (Sibiro).
''If I do, it's romantic. If someone else does, that's a thing.
Conou has this rubbish philosophy: "If I do it, it's okay, but if someone else does, it's not." ”
Secondly, those who rely on numbers.
"Especially the guild!"
Conou has no problem with friends, adventurers, or small guilds in artisan guilds.
What he hates is that the guilds all run high, and the powerful or evil guilds have a monopoly on the hunting grounds.
The Guild of Dead Medicine, known as the robbers, is one of these evil guilds.
"You have to get rid of all the guilds that have dungeon ownership and require an entrance fee, or those that claim to own the dungeon as territory!"
That's why Cono plans to eliminate the robbers.
Now, Conou, Ed, and Sepro overlook the ruins of Graham from the top of the hill.
"Are we really facing them head-on?" asked Sibiro.
"It's the only way they won't run away. Conou said he didn't shy away from staring into his gaze.
The most nasty tactic a grave robber can employ is to hide.
Because they just need to hold out for one day.
But what if the three of them enter the heart of their territory?
They will pounce on us like moths.
At that time, they just had to crush them.
Sibiro sighed at Conou's confident posture.
"I know how strong you are, Conou, but it's still 3-50. ”
"I won 1 to 100. ”
After all, I am the one who cleared the "fight against 100 men"!
Cibiro closed his mouth.
He's right. Conou won the 1-on-100 match, so why can't he win the 3-on-50 match?
But why does he find it difficult to deal with an incompetent boss?
"This guy is the worst. ”
If he could go back in time, he would kick his past self, saying in an interview that he would give anyone who had cleared 100 men anything they wanted.
Ed walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.
"It's going to be easier to accept it. ”
"Oops. ”
At that moment, Conou, who was still looking down at Graham's ruins, saw something.
A user rode towards the ruins.
Considering the direction he came from, he must have come from the nearest city.
"He has to know about our guild. ”
Conou's rendition was on the spot.
He looked at the vice-captain of the Death Potion Society.
The vice-captain has received information from the Guild Bureau about the "Threesome" guild and is on his way back.
Conou checked the time.
"There is still an hour left until Arummod is reborn. ”
Once they defeated the Death Potion Guild and Arummod, it was all over, and he handed the body to Eder.
It's easy.
"Shall we go then?"
Conou takes the lead.
"Okay. ”
Ed immediately followed him.
"It can't be avoided. This should also be enjoyed. Sibiro muttered to himself, as if reciting a spell, and began to move.
Conou, Eder and Sibiro travel to the ruins of Graham.
