Chapter 63: Rumors
The capital of the Main Kingdom, the city of Tempest is crowded with people, to be exact, it is a mountain of corpses and a sea of corpses. A large number of walking corpses are slowly coming from the eastern part of the kingdom, and judging from the number of walking corpses, there should be no living people in the eastern part of the Main Kingdom.
Above the city, King Heinrich of Main put his hand on his cheekbone and tilted his head to look at the city, looking not very satisfied. These selfless walking corpses are completely controlled by his will, and can die without fear - even though they are dead, they are too dull due to their lack of self-awareness, and their combat effectiveness is really rare. If it is besieged by a sea of corpses in the wilderness, these walking dead are enough, but when it comes to facing the walls of a fortified city, their role is not even comparable to cannon fodder.
"Darian, how many more soldiers do we have after that night?" asked Heinrich. For those unconscious walking dead, Heinrich could perceive their numbers with his powerful consciousness, while those undead soldiers with autonomous consciousness, he could not know their number by perception.
Darien replied: "There are less than 50,000 people who can go into battle immediately, and there are about 30,000 wounded soldiers, because of the ...... Since our current doctors are helpless on how to treat dead bodies, the chances of these wounded soldiers returning to the battlefield are not great. He was still like Heinrich's shadow, loyal guards, but unlike before, he had an extra sword on his back in addition to the Wind Slasherโa sword that exuded darkness even in its scabbard, and a mad aura peeked through it from time to time.
Heinrich said thoughtfully: "Fifty thousand? It seems that it is still a mistake, I didn't expect that your brother to be so destructive." The two of you fought, and 200,000 elites suffered from the disaster of pond fish, and there was not even half of them left. โ
"Your Majesty, it's my fault. โ
Heinrich waved his hand and said: "Sooner or later, the burner is a difficult problem to be solved, and this level of loss is still within the acceptable range." Fortunately, the main force of the Holy Light Knights has almost been wiped out in the eastern region, and these cannon fodder piles can also collapse the walls of Cologne!"
Heinrich, the lord of the dead, raised his eyes and looked far away, to the west was the direction of Cologne City, where the headquarters of the Holy Light Church was located, and if he wanted to enter the entire Seven Yao Continent, Cologne was a city he had to set foot on.
In recent days, rumors have spread in the city, and it is said that there has been a new development in the case of the death of the princess, and a new suspect has appeared. A creepy theory circulated that after seeking the consent of the deceased's family, Lord Lehman of the Bloodaxe family, who was in charge of the investigation, sent someone to open the coffin for a new autopsy. In this cold winter, the corpse that had just been buried for a short time should be kept in good condition, but after the coffin was opened, it was found that the body had already been destroyed, and only white bones remained. In the coffin, in addition to the white bones, there are dense unknown insects that fill the entire coffin, making people's scalp tingle.
All of this points to the most famous biologist in Huadu City, Baron Worm, who has a special penchant for bugs. Baron Worm came from an ancient family and was originally a famous family, but his uncomfortable hobby made the celebrities of the upper class stay away from him. In his mansion are all kinds of insects, poisonous tarantulas, wriggling caterpillars, and scavenging maggots...... As long as it is a boundary with insects, there is no one he will not raise. Stepping into such a house must have been an unpleasant experience, so it was no surprise that Baron Worm had no friends.
Now, this new rumor has pushed him to the forefront, and the baron, who doesn't go out much, is even more closed.
In this way, it made Li Xiang much easier, after all, someone shared the hatred for him. Occasionally, he would visit the Lone Tower Prison, but due to his squatting in the shift room, he could not eat human flesh for a long time, and the troll Lokan was a little malnourished. This thing didn't look like a human in the first place, but now it's really three points like a person, and seven points is like a ghost.
"I said, how long are you going to lock me up, and if you don't let me out, I'm afraid I'll starve to death here." Through the thick prison door, Lokan said weakly.
"It's a good situation now, and the Odyssey has basically worked. I think you'll still be alive when you get out of prison. Now that Luokan is expected to be released from prison, Li Xiang is also in the mood to say cool things. "Speaking of which, how did you solve your diet problem before you came to me? I don't think other slave owners would provide you with a human flesh feast, right?"
Lokan grinned, his long fangs particularly frightening, and said, "Aren't the slaves I am locked up with just meat?"
Li Xiang couldn't help but shudder, fortunately, the Prince of Orleans fished himself out of prison, otherwise he would have been locked up with Luokan until now, maybe he would have been gnawed to the ground by him.
Li Xiang's face was a little ugly, and he said nonsense: "You should also pay attention to the nutritional balance of your diet in the future, it is not good to eat meat alone, eat more vegetables, drink water frequently, and ventilate more is good for your body." โ
Lokan's eyes glowed red and he said, "Troll, eat meat!"
Li Xiang had no doubt that if there was no door, Luo Kan would have swallowed him alive at this time. He said, "I still have something to do, you can squat here first, see you later!" and hurriedly fled.
Gondolin moved the laboratory next door to Li Xiang's house, which was really convenient for Li Xiang, and turned left when he went out was the laboratory, and every day he arrived earlier and left later than Gondolin, and spent almost all his time in the laboratory. After all, it is not convenient for him to go out casually now, so he can only stay in the laboratory with peace of mind.
In this new laboratory, Gondolin asked the third-level magicians of the Magic Association to apply more than a dozen layers of defensive enchantments, and that strength is difficult for even a giant dragon to break through easily, so Li Xiang can also rest assured that he can experiment with crazy ideas here.
When Gondolin was there, he honestly cooperated with Gondolin to study Gondolin's subject - research and development of how to construct a fourth-level element with new attributes. Once Gondoline is gone, he will release Rosemary to consult with this mysterious woman who is almost enchanted encyclopedia. Strange to say, Mary can talk eloquently about advanced enchantment knowledge, and can give Li Xiang a lot of constructive suggestions, but when it comes to the foundation of enchantment, Mary doesn't know anything.
The clock had just struck five o'clock in the afternoon, and Gondolin had a strict schedule, and it was time for him to leave work. Li Xiang enthusiastically sent off the elven enchanter, and then couldn't wait to summon Rosemary.
"Mary, what you said about speed in the morning, I thought about it for a day, you see if that's right. As he spoke, Li Xiang skillfully manipulated the four elements to carry out complex permutations and combinations, carefully forming the backbone and branch chains, and finally formed a stable cluster of elements.
Mary watched Li Xiang's every move, but she didn't say a word, as if she remembered something.
"Mary, Mary?!" Li Xiang shook Mary in a daze, and now that Mary could almost appear in a physical state, Li Xiang could easily touch the warm fragrance of nephrite.
Mary came back to her senses and said thoughtlessly, "Yes, yes." That's what you do. โ
"What? You didn't wake up, did you? Really, you still sleep like this every day. Li Xiang didn't understand Mary's words at all. Li Xiang took a pair of Mithril combat boots and attached his newly synthesized elements to them. Then he put on the boots with great anticipation and made the start, ready to experience the feeling of flying.
A gust of wind swept across the laboratory, and then a bang was heard, and Li Xiang slammed into the wall, sticking to the wall like a gecko. Fortunately, Li Xiang's body had been strengthened by Catherine's dragon blood bath, otherwise the bones in his body would have been shattered.
"Sister?" At this time, the voice of the little prince Sasario came from the door of the laboratory. Li Xiang pulled his neck over with great effort, looked back at the little prince, didn't know how this kid escaped, and looked at the laboratory suspiciously, there was no shadow of Catherine, the black dragon princess. He asked, "Stinky boy, why don't you stay at home honestly, what are you doing here?" And who are you calling?"
The little prince pointed to Rosemary, who was floating in the air, and said, "Isn't this my sister?"
