"This is it. ”

Rod picked up the worn-out notebook and handed it to Pavel.

The king took the book with a frown, he didn't want to touch anything about vampires and the undead, but since the old man and the queen thought it was very important, he could only reluctantly flip through it.

The research notes were written in a mixture of two languages, some in lingua franca, others in words that Pavel had never seen, not even Rhodes and Dennis to be exact. However, through the lingua franca section, it can still be known that this is a notebook of Caterina studying necromancy.

"There's a devil in here!"

Pavel suddenly screamed in horror halfway through the pages, and the powerful necromancy on the note was still working, causing the weak-willed king to hallucinate. In front of him were ice skeletons with open mouths and giant blood bats......

"It's not the devil, it's just an illusion. ”

Rod explained, and Dennis hurriedly comforted her husband.

"This is Katerina's research manuscript, and it is certain that this secret room is her laboratory. ”

Rod took the note and said calmly.

"So what are you waiting for? burn it!"

Frightened by the research notes, Pavel shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"But, Your Majesty, this book may be useful in the future, I mean, it is dangerous, but it is also valuable. It depends on who owns it. ”

Rod picked up the note, put it on the table, and expressed his views and opinions with the king in front of him with a serious face.

"What's the value? Do you want to let the necromancer appear again? The dead are always the enemies of the living!"

Pavel returned dissatisfied.

"Yes, my king, but the enemy of the enemy may be an ally, even temporarily. ”

Rhodes paused, then said earnestly—

"Your Majesty, there is one thing that you and I must be clear, Chaos has risen, although we don't know when they will invade the Old World, but it will be sooner or later. Kislev is located on the northern front, we don't have a large firearms corps, and we don't have a million-strong army, and once chaos invades, we can't hold it on the walls of Kislev alone. The Empire may support, but perhaps the entire Old World human kingdom is united, and there is no capital to fight against the Chaos invasion. What I want to say is that the end times are coming, and we must use all the power at our disposal to avoid this catastrophe. ”

"You mean, let the undead fight Chaos?"

Pavel finally reacted, but this idea really subverted his three views......

"Are you crazy? the undead are undead, and it will never be able to help us fight against Chaos...... What's more, it is still unknown when Chaos will invade, the last Chaos invasion has been less than two hundred years since now, how can it be possible to invade again in just a hundred years? Magnus is still there. It's been a long time since Chaos has been in Kislev. ”

Pavel retorted. His face was contorted with worry, and his eyebrows were almost locked together.

"Magnus is dead, dead for a long time! That time is far away now, the empire is no longer the empire it used to be, the rise of chaos is a fact, Your Majesty, have you noticed? In recent years, the number of beastmen around the world has increased, and in the north alone, the number of beastmen is one or two times more than before, and the increase in beastmen is an ominous omen, and at the same time, the troll country north of Kislev has also shown traces of Kurgan activities. I don't know exactly when the Chaos Army will go south, but it's a sure thing. ”

Of course, Rod explains, he is alone in knowing these facts......

"The territory of Kislev is sparsely populated, and once the Chaos army invades, we will not be able to defend the country. There are countless dead, and the dead are unconscious, becoming enemies, or shields, only in the hands of the manipulator. ”v5

"Are you going to make walls out of dead people?"

Pavel began to compromise a little, after all, he knew that Dennis would not harm him. As for Rod, if he wants to harm him, he doesn't have to wait until now. However, use the dead as a barrier...... What's the difference between this and Katarina?

"You can do it when you have to. ”

Rod replied calmly.

"It's crazy......"

Pavel broke his thoughts, and Dennis walked over and comforted the king......

"Believe me, Your Majesty, my husband, when I first saw this notebook, I was as skeptical and fearful as you, but when I think about my father's words, it is not without reason. There are countless souls buried in the ground of this country, thousands of years of accumulation, the dead are far more than the living, we just didn't face it in the past, however, it is objective, real. It is unrealistic to dig these bodies out of the ground and burn them one by one. So, we need a better solution. ”

"In fact, the empire may not be as bright as you think...... Wizards study everything, and they will not let go of all the ways in which they can gain power. ”

Dennis and Rhodes persuaded me word by word, and Pavel gradually compromised. His gaze shifted from fear to anger, then to depression, and finally to compromise.

"But...... But...... But it's dangerous, what are you going to do with it? I don't want my wife to be a monster like Katarina. ”

Pavel said.

"No, I'm not going to study it, I assure you, my husband, His Majesty. ”

Dennis looked at Pavel and replied earnestly.

"We're going to mothball it. Before you have the ability to use it. ”

Rod interjected, and Pavel's face recovered a little.

"I'm in favor of that. ”

He said.

"But no one else should know about it!"

Pavel admonished.

"Of course, that's why I just asked you to keep the guard apart, not to doubt his loyalty, but to keep it as secret as possible. ”

Rod replied.

"So, where is it sealed? I don't want the book of the dead hidden beneath the palace where I sleep. ”

Pavel said bluntly.

"Of course not, I'm going to seal it in the black tower of the Academy of Magic. Dennis chimed in, "Let the most loyal and elite guards watch it day and night, and I will freeze it with a spell, and set up a magic door, and the key will be divided into three strings, you, me, and my father, and the three of us will keep it together." To turn it on, all three of us must be present at the same time. ”

After Dennis finished speaking, Pavel nodded with satisfaction, this is a respect for the king, as a king of a country, he should be involved in the most confidential matters. It seems that Rod and Dennis did not treat themselves as outsiders. Pavel immediately regretted his little belly chicken intestines just now. Rhodes is the shield of Kislev, if he wants to oppose him, there is no need to wait until now, it is he who has misunderstood him again and again......
