Chapter 424: Necromancer
Necronomicon believes in the god of death and the god of the underworld, and it is a sect of religious mystery. The ancient sect of the Ten Thousand Corpses Tomb Ruins is somewhat similar to the Church of the Necromancy, and the only difference may be the question of whether there is faith or not.
No matter what.
This kind of monk who deals with ghosts and corpses, most people stay away. When Greenland was still in its prime, the Lich brought a large group of necromancers to Greenland, and they drove thousands of Yin Corpses, which were simply excellent hard labor that would never tire of getting tired, and made great contributions to the half-elves digging mountains to build the city.
Because of this, the Half-Elf allowed the Necronomicon to build a temple in order to develop believers and increase its power, who knew that over the years, the Necronomicon has become stronger and stronger, and even has a faint tendency to threaten the Half-Elf, especially the outbreak of this plague, which is clearly the masterpiece of the Necromancy.
Clark led the half-elves to besiege the Necronomicon Temple.
The Necronomicon is a gray castle with pointed round arches, and a large number of gargoyles crouch up and down like sculptures on top of the castle, which look like decorations, but are actually dangerous monsters of death.
At this moment, the entire circle around the castle is filled with green keepers.
Thousands of half-elf elites gathered around the entrance of the Necronomicon Temple, confronting the necromancers, and the two sides were tense and would fight at any time.
Clarke's face was full of anger: "Samuel, do you have to be the enemy of Greenland?"
"Hey, hey, hey. The first of the necromantic priests sneered: "Clark, Greenland City is no longer half-elf, you should know this very well, even if you are an enemy of Greenland City, what does it matter to you? Let that shrunken turtle-like city lord come out, I really want to see what kind of person it is, and let you half-elves shamelessly send them to the city and bow down." ”
This man is extremely mean-spirited.
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows, revealing an unhappy look, and Delores whispered in his ear with some solemnity: "Samuel, an important priest of the Necronomicon Temple, his strength is quite good, probably the True Spirit Triple, it is estimated that he can also rank in the top five among the Necromantic Priests here." ”
"Then why isn't he a lich?"
Samuel is not a lich, he is a living person, but he is covered in bandages and wears a huge cloak, so that people can't see his face clearly, so he can't tell the race.
"Do you think every necromancer is a lich?" Delores rolled her eyes angrily, "Lich transformation is one of the top rituals of the Necronomicon Church, only truly excellent and powerful people are qualified, and people with such qualifications may not be suitable for transforming into lichs, in the entire Greenland Necromantic Church, there is only one lich, the founder, it is said that it is an old monster that has lived for two thousand years, older than those old elves in the Eternal Forest!"
"An inferior existence like a lich deserves such respect?" Chu Tian pouted disdainfully: "Your thinking is very difficult to understand. ”
"Hey, what are you talking about? Who doesn't envy the lich!" Delores retorted: "The lich is immortal, immortality is the dream of many people, how many kings and emperors on the mainland hope that they can become eternal and immortal lich, I don't believe that you don't pursue immortality." ”
The lich in people's hearts has always been a very mysterious existence, this undead monster is directly transformed by living beings through some kind of ritual, and the lich is theoretically eternal.
"You are completely wrong. Chu Tian said lightly: "Don't think how good a lich is, no breathing, no heartbeat, no senses, no need to eat, no need to reproduce, at the cost of depriving all the pleasures of survival, in exchange for an ageless body, what's the point?"
If you can't taste food, you can't appreciate beautiful women, you can't enjoy the joy of men and women, and you can't appreciate the beauty of the world with your eyes, you might as well just die.
"You can't deny the benefits of being a lich either. ”
"It is true that the Lich is near-immortal, but only near, not truly immortal. ”
"What? Is the lich still dead?"
"Lichs are theoretically infinitely lifespand, and some powerful lichs can even strip their souls and make them into a life box, so that even if their bodies are destroyed, they can still be reborn through life boxes hidden elsewhere. However, the existence of the Lich is not eternal, the Lich is free from physical aging and destruction, and they still cannot escape the aging and exhaustion of the soul. ”
There are many living or non-living things in this world who claim to have immortal and immortal life, such as the flower essence clan that Chu Tian encountered, these life theories do not have an upper limit of lifespan, the actual flower essence is more fragile than most lifeforms, they are extremely dependent on the environment, if the living environment is destroyed, it is difficult for the flower essence to survive for a long time.
The body, spirit, and soul of living beings have always been interdependent. Matter determines the will, the will determines the soul, without material support, the will will gradually declines to flattening, and finally gradually loses its humanity, and even loses its self-consciousness, and the soul will also die in the process.
Once the living beings become lichs, they must use secret methods to simulate and maintain emotions such as joy, anger and sorrow, but this method cannot be maintained forever, most lichs have lived for one or two thousand years, their mood swings have been very numb, their will is getting colder and colder, and finally they completely lose their humanity and self-awareness, and the instincts of living beings will fade, and finally become an undead spirit.
Chu Tian knew how to transform the lich, but he was not interested in this kind of monster at all.
These words attracted the attention of the people around them, and even the people of the Necronomicon looked at them.
"Acting City Lord!"
"The Acting City Lord is here!"
The half-elves chattered and cast strange glances at the young humans, most of them suspicious and distrustful. Letting a human sit here as a city lord is an unacceptable thing for a half-elf, and the plague in Greenland City has been so severe recently, and this so-called acting city lord has not shown up until now, which is really a bit unreasonable.
"Who am I to dare to speak of the great Lich. Samuel looked at Chu Tian, his eyes were full of mockery and anger: "Is the half-elf cornered? Such a useless waste human can also be the lord of the city? ”
Delores immediately asked, "That is, you admit that everything is a necromancer and a ghost?"
"Don't you understand? It's not important at all, it's not the point. Samuel's eyes were full of sarcasm, "Those tens of thousands and a half elves who are infected with the plague may not survive more than two days, and that's the point." ”
"You're deceiving people too much!"
The half-elf was enraged.
This thing is 100% the work of a necromancer.
Samuel must have a reason to dare to be so arrogant, that damn lich didn't show up, what's the use of killing these necromantic priests in front of him now? The half-elf still can't solve the situation in front of him, not to mention that tens of thousands of clansmen are now infected, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of hostages being captured by them, and the half-elves can't ignore the clansmen, so they are destined to be threatened by these despicable necromancers.
No matter what.
Let's get the people back first.
Clark couldn't help but ask loudly, "What conditions do you have!"
"The half-elves really want their people to live very easily, give up the position of the city lord, and let the great lich lord rule Greenland City, otherwise this little plague is just the beginning. ”
"Dreaming! The Lich deserves Greenland too?"
"A waste human can be your lord of the city, but the noble and learned Lich Lord can't?Clarke, please make it clear, I'm not kidding you, think about the tens of thousands of people who are struggling in pain, I swear that no one can do anything but us necromancers. Samuel pointed at Chu Tian: "Of course, you still have a choice, that is, to kill this human, send his head to the Eternal Forest, and then take refuge in Longling, and from then on be loyal to Longling, so that you half-elves are still the masters of this city." Far from being an enemy of your Greenland Church, the Church of the Necrons will become a strong ally of yours. ”
It is impossible to put the lich on the throne of the lord of the city.
It's not that the necromantic priest is unaware of this, and Samuel deliberately made such a request, in fact, just to set the stage for the second request.
Kill Chutian.
Break ties with the Eternal Forest.
This is what Longling wants to see.
Tens of thousands of half-elves have their lives in the hands of necromancers, and this shouldn't be a difficult choice. After all, half-elves don't like humans either, so why give up their lives for a mere human?
"You should know the old stubborn nature of the Eternal Forest. Samuel added fuel to the fire and said: "I see that the Elf King does not personally send someone to take over Greenland City, it is not that he does not attach importance to Greenland City, but he has no choice at all, the Elven Race does not like to get involved in disputes, your choice to take refuge in the Eternal Forest was wrong from the beginning, and now what is in front of you is an opportunity to correct your mistakes." ”
With a swipe, he pulled out the Nether Sword.
"I think you're talking a bit too much nonsense. Chu Tian walked out with a long sword: "Do you want Lao Tzu to die so much?" Then Uncle Chu Tian will give you a chance, now I will stand here, and if you have the ability, you will kill me." ”
Samuel sneered and said, "You want to match me too?"
Chu Tian laughed: "If it weren't for you being so annoying, I wouldn't have bothered to dirty my sword!"
A wave of anger welled up in Samuel's body, he stretched out a withered finger, and the words began to be muttered in his mouth, and a strong corpse stench suddenly spread around him, and a dark green fireball quickly expanded at his fingertips.
"Human beings who don't think about themselves, let you see how powerful the Yin Evil Corpse Fire is!"
This green fireball containing a strong corpse smell smashed directly at Chu Tian's feet, and the strong disgusting smell instantly poured out in all directions, making everyone else involuntarily retreat.
The green flames suddenly rose into the sky.
Chu Tian didn't make any moves, and was instantly overwhelmed by the flames.
Delores was shocked, wouldn't that guy have no power to resist?
The half-elves were also stunned, although they knew that this acting city lord was definitely not strong, but they didn't expect it to be so weak that they didn't even have room to resist?
Samuel sneered and said, "What a joke. ”
Who knew that at this moment, a figure walked out of the sea of fire, originally the raging fire completely engulfed the body, no one felt the power fluctuation on Chu Tian's body, but it was very strange that the flames passed through his body, but they did not cause any damage, not a single hair, not a single corner of the body.
"What's going on?"
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
Someone found a very strange phenomenon, Chu Tian's originally dark eyes turned white at this moment, and the breath of his entire body disappeared completely.
He was standing here on the surface.
But people don't feel it's there.
If a few high-level personnel of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce are here, they will definitely recognize that this set of exercises is the spatial body method "Void Escape" that Chu Tian once taught to Vivian, and now Chu Tian has been able to perform it by himself!
