Chapter 524: Ghouls, Gargoyles, and... A series of stuff
The Lich Nene is a bit of a special Lich.
A magician in his lifetime, the Lich was still well-known in the human world, but after his death, he accidentally transformed into a lich, giving him endless time to continue his research.
Transforming into a lich gives the lich an immortal body, while also making him forget a lot of things in the past. There's no way, the brains are almost dry, everything that should be forgotten is forgotten, and what shouldn't be forgotten is forgotten.
Hundreds of years later, he now remembers only being called the Lich Nene and very little about the rest of his time as a human.
The Lich is a well-kept lich.
It was true that he could use necromancy, but he had never intended to dominate the world. While the other lichs and black knights were fighting and killing each other, devouring each other's soul fires, the lich Nene found himself this remote wasteland, built a crypt, and conducted his magical research alone.
Studying all kinds of necromancy and doing all kinds of strange experiments is the only pursuit of the lich Nene's life. Death.
He's been experimenting with ghouls lately, and he's at a critical stage, and he wouldn't have come out of the crypt if he hadn't been drawn to the fight between two golden skeletons in his realm.
It's good now, but as soon as I came out, I met a bad star.
Gowey forced the Lich Nene to take himself to his lair, a crypt.
The Crypt is the most common type of building in the Dead Lands, and the entire building is dug beneath the surface, and is usually used for the Lich's laboratory. If you do something evil in the crypt, no one will care about you outside.
For hundreds of years, the crypt was filled with the exception of the Lich Nene and his two pet zombie dogs. Ge Wei was the first to step in upright.
In the crypt inside the lich, Ge Wei was an eye-opener.
"It's all ...... What the hell?"
Ge Wei was stunned and looked at the experimental table in front of him. A limb that is either shriveled or mutilated. Among them was Ge Wei's recognition. There were zombies, skeletal stumps, and several species of undead that even he couldn't name, and all sorts of messy things that I couldn't understand at all.
"What is this?"
Ge Wei asked the lich Nene, pointing to a strange corpse that was small and short. This corpse is somewhat similar to a zombie, but very different. At least according to Ge Wei's observation, ordinary zombies are all upright, to put it bluntly, they are human or animal walking corpses, and they can generally be seen as they are. And this strange corpse. Ge Wei is sure that it is by no means human.
"It's like a ghost. The lich Nene replied.
"Yes...... What?"
"The slightest ghost. ”
Ge Wei was stunned for a long time: "Ghoul?"
"Like a drop. ”
Is this a ghoul? Ge Wei's gaze couldn't help but fall back to the corpse, and he faintly felt the big tongue inside the lich in his heart, which was too awkward. After looking at it for a moment, Ge Wei asked, "I don't seem to have seen ghouls nearby, where did you get them?"
In this cellar, there is more than one ghoul corpse. Ge Wei roughly counted more than a dozen of these similar corpses on several experimental benches.
The lich Nene replied, "The vinegar is not far away, and it is tender until yesterday." (You can catch it not far away)"
Ge Wei nodded, estimating that he had not gone far enough, and he had been careful not to step into the territory of the high-level undead. That's why I didn't see an undead creature like a ghoul.
Knowing the ghoul, Ge Wei pointed to an undead creature with a pair of bat wings and a body that looked like a bat on a laboratory table in the corner. And he asked, "What is this?" and it was a species of undead he had never seen before.
It's like a herbarium of undead creatures. This is Ge Wei's thoughts at this time.
"It's a ghost. The lich Nene replied.
“......”
"Thought ghosts. ”
"Stone ...... Like a ghost?"
"Like a drop. ”
Sanqing is on top......
Ge Wei felt that he was so smart, he guessed it. Ge Wei has a black line. You have to guess to communicate with this big-tongued lich! You can't communicate with yourself with soul fire like a normal lich?
Actually, that's what makes the Lich so special. The Lich is a human being. It is transformed into a lich, not a native zombie lich. The lich's habit of speaking with their mouths like humans has also been preserved.
As for drooping out. The tongue is firmly glued to the chin...... Hey, don't worry about the details.
So, what is a gargoyle?
When it comes to gargoyles, we have to talk about the black stones that are ubiquitous in the Land of the Dead.
From the mouth of the lich, Ge Wei learned that this black stone has a name, called obsidian. In the land of the dead, in addition to the bones everywhere, there is probably the most obsidian, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is within reach.
Obsidian is stained with the immortality of the Land of the Dead for many years, and over time, a strange undead creature will be born, the obsidian gargoyle. Abbreviated as gargoyle.
Gargoyles are not really undead creatures, and in Ge Wei's opinion, gargoyles should be classified as golems.
In the crypt inside the lich, Ge Wei saw at least eight or nine gargoyle corpses, many of which had been dismembered, some with wings removed, and some dismantled into puddles of black rubble. What they have in common is that they are all dead.
Ge Wei looked around the crypt again, in addition to ghouls and gargoyles, as well as zombies and skeletons, there were several undead creatures that he had never seen before, all of which he could not name. Ge Wei couldn't help asking, "I said, what are you doing with so many corpses?"
"It's a test. The Lich Nene said.
"Oh, what kind of experiment?" Ge Wei was interested. He knew that the Lich was good at studying necromancy, and the big-tongued Lich seemed to be good at it, too?
At the mention of his experiments, the lich Nene became intrigued, and did not shy away from leading Gowei to see his experiments.
During the introduction and explanation of the Lich Nene, Ge Wei learned that the Lich Nene was recently conducting an experiment on ghouls. By chance, the Lich discovered a potion that temporarily and dramatically increased the Ghoul's movement speed. It is said to be a potion, but it is actually a corpse poison. It is extracted from several undead creatures such as ghouls and zombies within the Lich.
Ghouls injected with this corpse poison can fall into a state of frenzy. The claws became exceptionally sharp. Will attack the enemy like crazy and tirelessly. One ghoul can exert the combat power of two ghouls.
"Ghoul mania?"
Ge Wei's eyes lit up. A potion that can double the power of a ghoul, that's a good thing!
Could it be said. Allow yourself to meet a Lich Scientist this time?
As a plane merchant, Ge Wei immediately understood the value of this elixir. What is the most impressive thing about the undead plane? It's not the weird and gloomy nature of the undead creatures, but the terrifyingly large number of undead creatures!
The undead plane, like the mechanical plane, relies on numbers. Just like the mechanical frenzy, the undead plane also has the Skeleton Sea and the Zombie Sea tactics.
Ghouls are also a common class on the undead plane. And a potion that puts all the ghouls into a state of frenzy and doubles the combat power of all of them, isn't it an artifact?
Ge Wei felt that the strategic significance of this potion to the Legion of the Undead was no less than that of his Viagra Loach to the Legion of Warcraft.
Talent!
Ge Wei looked at the Lich Nene again. The eyes are no longer the same.
Seeing the lich Nene gave Ge Wei an idea. Now that you have come to the undead plane, why don't you take the opportunity to develop and build an army of the undead?
Before, all he wanted was to improve his strength as soon as possible, find a chance to resurrect, and then leave here and go back. But now, Ge Wei has changed his mind. He intends to raise an army of the undead here!
The strategic value of the Undead Legion is no less than that of the Mechanical Legion. At the beginning, he envied the number of mecha of Qingdao Chufu, and he had an endless army of undead. Who else does he need to envy? It's time for someone else to envy him.
For the first time, Ge Wei felt that he had fallen to the undead plane, and he was still facing such a big opportunity!
All kinds of thoughts only turned in Ge Wei's mind for a moment. He decided that this was the place to be, the crypt inside the Lich. From today onwards it is his home base for viagra.
He will start from here, with his magic. Use the undead technology within to gradually sweep through the land of the dead. Take control of the undead plane and become the overlord of the Land of the Dead!
Thinking of this, Ge Wei said to Nene, "Lich, submit to me. From now on, your research will be supported by me. Lich, hand over your lifeguard. ”
First of all, he has to control the big tongue lich. With such a talent, Ge Wei will never miss it.
"Then the swelling is picked. You're purple like a golden skeleton......" The lich shook his head in refusal.
The lifeguard is the foundation of the Lich, and with the Lifeguard, the Lich can be reborn. Handing over the life guard is tantamount to giving up your life. Besides, he is a lich, how can he surrender to an undead who is lower than him.
Ge Wei immediately passed over with an extremely cold thought: "Either hand over the life guard box and surrender to me, or ...... Die!"
A raging fire instantly rose from Ge Wei's dark golden bones. This is not a soul fire, but a real magic flame! The scorching temperature instantly swept through the entire crypt, and a laboratory table next to it was touched by the magic flame on Ge Wei's body, and it melted instantly. The soul fire within the lich was swept away by this manic magical energy.
"Surrender to me, or I'll kill you and destroy this place completely. I believe your life guard is hidden around here. I'm going to destroy this wasteland!" Gowey didn't hide the threat.
"Stop, surrender!" the lich screamed.
Ge Wei was stunned, he softened so quickly?
He was ready for the lich to die rather than give in, and the jade was burned. When the time comes, he might as well take a step back and choose to cooperate or something. But I didn't expect that the lich would change to oral softness so easily. What is the festival?
You know, if the lich is in the hands of someone else, it is equivalent to saying goodbye to freedom and becoming a slave.
But when he thought about it, Ge Wei was relieved. Undead creatures, especially lichs, are immortal as long as they are not destroyed and their souls are devoured. Between the endless time that exists as long as you live, and the unyielding discipline of preferring to die, it is not surprising that the undead creatures choose to abandon the discipline.
