167. Team battles
Badr was defeated, and the first day of the contest ended with the Eberlocks winning.
This result was not a surprise, as the further the two teams went on, the difference in the number of participants between the two families became, and the Eberlocks would have to work hard in the first two days if they wanted to win.
The second day was a duel between ten men and twenty men, which was no longer a duel, it was a small encounter, and on the third day fifty men against a hundred, it was basically the same as war.
"Looks like it's time to build you an armor. In Zhang Li's laboratory, Rubes was sulking in the corner, and Zhang Li was grooming it.
Thinking back to the daytime battle, he felt that if he could get a suit of armor for Rubos, as long as it could defend the vital parts, then it could easily defeat Badr, although Bader had no armor, but even if he wore a piece of equipment, Rubos's shadow power could penetrate the ordinary plate armor and hurt his body.
And in order to prevent someone from causing irreversible injuries to Rubos in the future, Zhang Li definitely made it a priority to build armor for him.
"Whoa!" Suddenly, Lubos snorted aggrievedly, Zhang Li understood its words, it was very dissatisfied with today's duel, it wanted to fight Badr again, it wanted to beat him down with his own hands.
"Okay, good, there will be a chance, I didn't kill him but just ruined one of his eyes, you will see you again in the future. Zhang Li continued to reassure Rubos, when there was a sudden knock on the door of the laboratory.
"Come in, the door is unlocked. ”
A slightly sloppy old man walked in, and Zhang Li recognized the person at a glance, Martin, the chief mage of Stormwind City, this senior mage who usually pays attention to his appearance is now like he has just come out of the laboratory, he has not been trimmed for a few days, his hair and beard are messy, but his eyes are bright.
"Click......" He was followed by a skeleton undead, which was very obediently following Martin, and its appearance made the other skeleton undead in the corner of Zhang Li's laboratory in a daze turn his head in interest.
"Has your undead finally succeeded in refining?" Refining, these two words are enough to explain everything, it is said that since Zhang Li discovered the possibility of refining the undead, he has publicized this result.
Not to mention whether the world can accept the profession of necromancer, these mages full of research spirit should be very easy to accept, as far as Zhang Li knows, Dalaran has a research project called taboo, they vainly try to subvert the field of life, using the living and the dead to do experiments, it is rumored that they have also used the body tissues of various different creatures to piece together a hybrid life body, so desecrating life, after the matter is revealed, it naturally attracts criticism from all directions, so this has become a taboo project.
But Zhang Li knew that the word taboo was only made for people within the rules, and those who made the rules, they would not be bound by these things at all.
All in all, the mages were very interested in the fact that he had controlled the undead, but some people questioned and even doubted whether Zhang Li was connected to the Scourge Legion, and his real identity was a psychic or something.
Zhang Li didn't care about these detractors at all, he had seen too many such people during this time, and it was normal for them to hate him, the "lucky one" who had risen from a mere commoner to the position of councilor, but they also didn't want to think about what they were doing when Varian Anduin was controlled.
The greatest credit in the world is the work of saving from the dragon, but this is also the most risky, failure is a catastrophe, the risk is proportional to the return, you are not willing to take the risk, then do it now envy.
"It worked! It's incredible! I can feel the connection to it very clearly! oh my! I can't believe you did it!" Martin's beard trembled with excitement.
The biggest problem facing the alliance now is Lordaeron's Scourge Legion, the countless seas of skeletons are enough to make anyone despair, and the method of controlling the undead discovered by Zhang Li at this time is likely to change the situation.
But what Martin thinks is different from Zhang Li, Zhang Li thinks about the profession of necromancer, one person carries dozens or hundreds of undead, and dozens of people are a legion, but Martin thinks of that kind of connection.
According to Zhang Li's method, refining a cannon fodder undead costs the blood of two cows, and a more advanced undead needs more blood, how much blood does it take to form a legion? Where can I find so much blood?
Martin felt that controlling the undead against the Scourge in this way was completely self-sacrificing, but that connection to the undead was the most valuable, and he felt that if he could find out the truth of this connection, he might be able to disrupt the Lich King's control over the undead.
As we all know, not counting those tough classes, individual undead are not strong, they can shake when they walk, and they don't have intelligence, how strong can they be? The reason why they are strong is because the Lich King controls their movements, allowing them to form a sea of undead and exert force towards a point.
Therefore, if it can interfere with its control, the strength of the Scourge Legion will undoubtedly be greatly weakened.
Zhang Li wouldn't tell him that the connection between the bloodlines and the spiritual connection had a different nature, he would do it if he was willing to work in the wrong direction, anyway, he just wanted to put the necromancer on the bright side, and strive to become a profession that could see the light one day.
..................
The next day, it was the eve of the duel again, and the Stormwind Kingdom was very lively these days, this duel touched everyone's eyes, and people could be heard discussing this event almost everywhere.
After all, this is a competition between the two great lords of the Stormwind Kingdom who are second only to the king, and coupled with the propaganda of Zhang Li and other councilors, Stormwind City is more lively than a festival these days.
In just one day, the lottery money, gambling money, and ticket money added up to more than 2 gold, and Marcus and the others tasted the sweetness, and they were considering whether to build a special arena near Stormwind City to provide a steady stream of gold coins to the treasury.
But that's another story.
"Do you really want to play?" A certain room in the cathedral, which was used as a preparation room for the two players, Zhang Li must be one of the ten players, because this competition pinned all the hopes of the Eberlock family, the contestants must be the strongest ones in Night Town, and what Zhang Li didn't expect was that Altea, the eldest lady, would also play.
"yes, I'm also very strong. Compared with her small fist, and then looking at her slender body, it is really difficult to associate strong characters with her.
"Don't make a fuss, you know how important today's game is, and if you can't win tomorrow's game, it's even more hopeless. Zhang Li persuaded bitterly.
"Huh, you underestimate me?" pouted unhappily, and Althea made a coquettish and angry expression.
"I don't underestimate you, I don't know how much of your ability you have? What else do you have to do besides that bit of equipment? Obedient, you will only distract me in the arena, if you really want to win, why don't you give the equipment to your female officer, she is much better than you." ”
