Murphy learned a lot of interesting Songhai trivia from the mummy mother, and also fooled the other party to become the shamanic mentor of the Translancian warriors, which is actually a win-win situation.

The kind where Murphy won twice.

After all, he didn't plan to hide the fact of the Swamp Exhibit, and even planned to invite the remaining three vampire archdukes to the Swamp Forbidden Zone at some point in the future to complete the binding of civilization candidates, so as to piece together the specific situation when the Eden District was destroyed.

Judging from the embarrassing resonance of "Ancient Memories" that happened with Xia Ni before, even if the other Grand Dukes didn't intend to tell the truth, that special resonance of memories could still bring Murphy a lot of valuable clues.

Under this premise, it is not a big problem to invite a mummy priest from the Songhai Empire to visit it, not to mention that the other party is a serious expert in the field of "Creator's Heritage".

From some of the details revealed by Nefitari, it can be seen that she has definitely had close contact with many Creator ruins in the Land of Origin, and letting this guy go around the exhibition hall may bring some "surprises" to Murphy.

However, it was not a good time to discuss the matter, and after the mummy priest used elemental fire to burn the icy coffin that enveloped the ruins of the castle, the three of them quickly moved towards it.

As Murphy pushed open the closed cold door, the bleak scene inside the castle came into view.

It must have been bombarded with heavy artillery by the Pioneer Legion, and the top and high floors of the castle were in a state of semi-collapse, and unlike the ruins of Sike City, which had been cleaned up by the undead, the castle still maintained its original "war damage wind".

As Murphy flapped his wings and made his way to the mid-level study, he could even see a cannonball embedded in the wall but not exploding in a cavity on the second floor of the castle.

According to Sharon Jr., when the city was broken, there were some women and children in the castle who were summoned by his parents for protection, but Murphy did not see more corpses, considering that the undead in the entire city had been activated, and those corpses probably ran out on their own with long legs.

It seems that after their deaths, they also used this way to express their awe to their lords.

The ruins of the empty castle looked more like a tomb to Trissy, who followed behind, to bury the dead but unable to rest in peace.

"They're just ahead!"

Nephitali, who had come up the stairs, warned loudly:

"In the study in front of you, don't go in yet, these are two very powerful undead! I sensed an abnormal convergence of the wills of Hades, they were not the dead who had been shaped by wild means.

Damn it!

It would be blasphemy that the orthodox knowledge of the Dead Moon should not be used to create such a crisis!

You wait for me there, and I'm going to add a few states to you, so that you won't be attacked or influenced by the will of Hades. ”

She hurried over, took out a bottle from her waist and sprinkled the off-white powder from it, surrounding Murphy and Tracey to keep them out of their will, and then pulled out a scepter wrapped around the twin snakes and a small spellcaster's shield from the Songhai-style fanny pack.

It's also full of undead style, as the shield is inlaid with an air-dried black heart.

It looks weird.

When everything was ready, the mummy mother turned back to Murphy and pouted, the abstract expression reflected on the mummy's shroud made Murphy shrug his shoulders and push forward the closed door of the study with the necessary evil.

outcome

"Bang"

The door fell all the way forward, slamming into the ground with a loud bang and a splash of dust.

The vampire lord stood in place in embarrassment, complaining that the quality of the construction of this castle was really worrying, hadn't it been bombed by heavy artillery? As for being fragile to this extent?

But such an embarrassment is nothing in the current situation, because they have met the main master.

As Sharon Jr. described, her old father sat in the center of the study on the "black throne" of the wreckage of armor and weapons and the twisted corpses of the intruders, the heavily armed mountain leader carrying a huge, chilling armor-piercing hammer like a black sculpture.

The old earl probably hadn't changed his position since Sharon had left last time, and his armor was even covered with a layer of fine dust.

Also, it's cold in this room!

It wasn't a simple drop in temperature, it was more like some kind of invisible cold force entrenched here, forming a de facto undead enchantment, and the power weighed heavily on Murphy's shoulders, making him move his shoulders very uncomfortably.

He took a step forward, and the action immediately triggered some kind of reaction.

The old earl, who had his head bowed in front of him, slowly raised his head like a rusty gear beginning to move, and under the black heavy helmet, two red bone fires lit up.

Unlike other undead bonefires, which are either blue or green, the scarlet color represents extreme danger.

Murphy was immediately ready for battle, and even planned to call for Mannes to help, but Nephitali, who was beside him, stepped forward and shouted in the Dead Moon's Priestess' best Dead Man's Spiritual Language:

"The Moon of Death will protect your mind, the dead, listen to me, and your anger will be cleared!"

She swung her scepter, sending a cold glimmer of light around the old count's body in a circle, and the stance that had been used for attack quickly ceased, and the angry spirit beneath her helmet was forcibly calmed to calm and neutral.

For the first time, the old earl seemed to wake up from the emotions brought about by death.

He craned his neck and looked suspiciously at the strangely dressed Nefitali, and Mrs. Sico's spirit was suspended from her husband's body at this moment, and the delicate wraith had already understood.

She called for help from Nephitali in the air:

"Help us! Your Excellency, Walker of the Moon of Death, my husband and I are controlled by them! It's the same with this city, where the power of death torments us, roaring at every moment for revenge and destruction.

It's like being put into a hell of the mind, and we don't have peace!

Help us!

You have the power to help us. ”

"That's what I'm here for."

At this moment, Nephitali lost her madness, but instead had a touch of calmness and majesty necessary to be a priest of the dead, and she said in a deep voice:

"A just death never demands revenge from any of the dead, and what you hear is not the echo of Hades' ruling, for someone shamelessly tampered with everything that has left you after your death, so that you cannot rest in peace or embark on the path of the dead.

Those guys can sense the will of Hades and manipulate it to a limited extent, just like I do.

They have set up a permanent ritual of wrath in the castle and in the outlying cities, so that your anger can be preserved even after death, and that ugly emotions can be used to transform and distort you.

They are trying to create a true army of Hades in Translasia, and you two are their chosen lords of Hades, or Tomb Kings.

What blasphemy!

But this transformation is not yet complete, so you can still be saved!

Calm down, Madame and Your Excellency the Earl, I need you to return to the indifferent state of mind of the deceased for a while, so that I can better detect your state at this time.

Trust me!

I am the Walker of the Month of Death!

I am your compatriot and soul channeler, and I have come from the Moon Holy City with the Oracle of Hades in my hand to cleanse this land of the sins of the afterlife, and I will appease the loss and pain of this city. ”

The mummy's claim is both grand and majestic.

Murphy also noticed that as Nephi Tali lifted out of the name of the Moon Holy City, the heavy power that shrouded the den also seemed to change and seemed to be lighter. No, a little more ethereal.

This made him realize that there was no need to fight anymore in this meeting, so he stepped back and handed over the home game to Nefertali to preside.

He and Triss stood by to protect the mummy.

The old count, who sat on the throne of the dead, remained silent, and it was said that he was not a dull man who liked to talk a lot during his lifetime, but a typical mountain man, but the Countess of Sico had been talking to Nephitali all the time.

The halfling-blooded lady also seems to have inherited the distinctive personality traits of the halfling, and while it seems inappropriate to complain in this situation, Murphy still feels that she is absolutely driven crazy by the boredom of death.

Seeing that there was someone who calmed her down, he began to describe what happened to her during this time, and the chirp was like a lark.

"I'll tell you why Sharon is so small, not at all like a mountain dweller."

Murphy whispered in Tracey's ear:

"It turned out to be a perfect inheritance of her mother's exquisite height, look at the countess next to the old earl is the same as a standard Lori girl, tsk, I didn't expect the old earl, a rough man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to like this?

It's really unseemly. ”

"Ugh"

Tracey rolled her eyes a little helplessly, and only explained after Murphy finished complaining:

"The leader of the mountain people is the same as the common man, but the halfling is an immortal, and as far as I know, the countess is much older than the old earl, so what you see is only what you think. The fact is not that the old earl likes little Lori.,The fact is that a Lori Niang is playing Zhengtai Cultivation.

Although I did not have much in touch with the old Count of Sico, I knew that at a very young age the Countess had been invited to be his family grammar teacher when he had returned from the port of Chardo.

In the strange words of those guys on the forum, this wave, this wave is called a rebel. ”

"Ahh

Murphy was also a little unacceptable for a while when he heard this "too many elements" earl's secrets, it seems that Xiao Sharon, a clever ghost, also knows that his parents' love story is a little too terrifying, so he has been carefully concealing these.

Or maybe Sharon doesn't know about these old things at all? This is basically equivalent to the black history of parents, right?

"When the two of you gossip about our husband and wife, can you take care of the mood of the parties?"

Just as Murphy and Tracy were exchanging these strange things, the old earl, who had been silent, suddenly spoke in a hoarse tone:

"At the very least, you can keep your voice down symbolically, okay? My senses have been strengthened a lot since death, and if it weren't for the fact that I'm in a strange state now and can't get angry, maybe I should use my Watt's chilling hammer to teach you two what etiquette is! ”

"Well, you're not just your senses, Lord Sicomer."

Tracey is well-informed, very thick-skinned, as if nothing has happened, holding the serenade scepter in her hand and stepping forward to feel a wave, she said very seriously:

"Your body doesn't even decay after death, but is made stronger and more destructive by the sheer infusion of Hades. Twilight is shaping you the way you are a melee warrior, and the Countess is the opposite!

I don't even need to perceive it to tell that her use of death psionic power has also been greatly enhanced, and it is said that she was an excellent halfling spellcaster during her lifetime, and it seems that they did not choose the carrier of Sico's curse indiscriminately.

While this is an alien force, it is also enough to propel your wife closer to the Golden Realm after death.

She and you are in a state that is difficult to classify according to the general classification of the undead, you exist in a form that has not been seen on this continent for thousands of years, and of course, such evil stories have happened more than once in the Land of Origin. ”

"It's a standard and classic Lich and Tomb King's pairing."

Beside her, who was enduring the Countess's chatter and desire to share, Nephitali, who was testing the Countess's spirits, replied:

"During the time they died and were not yet resurrected, their bodies were tampered with, Madame Sicomel was made into a life box, and the old count's existence was permanently bound to the city.

This is part of the Cult of the Dead Moon's orthodox ascension ritual, and once the transformation is complete, the city will have a gold-tier lich and a gold-tier Crypt master.

That's a lot of money!

Even in the Land of Origin, not every pharaoh had the financial and material resources to support it, and I can almost certainly conclude that the covert transformation of Sike City did not begin after the end of the war, and the time spent on such a cumbersome arrangement was measured in years.

So, at the beginning of your ten-year war, the city of Sico may have been chosen as a target.

In other words, the war between the Pioneer Legion and Sicoling was arranged from the beginning, and I also learned about the ten-year war on the way here, and it is said that the king Louis was involved in the planning and advancement of this war.

So, dusk actually has eyeliner next to King Louis?

Otherwise, it's hard to explain how they could have been so ingenious in designing and covering up this whole set of events, and finally turning Siko into a replica of the Underworld Legion according to their ideas. ”

"Well, your guess is scary enough."

Murphy whispered:

"But judging by Dusk's style, we can't rule out this possibility, and unfortunately, at least Transcia lacks the power to search for the truth in the Plantagenet Kingdom, so it can only be a guess at the moment.

Nephitali, how did your inspection go?

Can the transformation of Sico be stopped, or the freedom of the city to be freed? ”

"Absolutely! It can even be done in ten days. ”

The mummy mother first gave an affirmative answer, which made the two vampires and the two undead present happy, but the unreliable fellow then changed his words, spread his hands, tilted his head, and said:

"But only if my mentor comes in person! With my poor rank, I can't solve the Hades army of this scale, they have taken too long to transform, and this Hades army is only one step away from being truly formed.

And once the Earl and Countess complete the ascension ceremony, the power of Hades will break the isolation of the material world and directly pour into Sike City, turning this place into a holy city of death power!

Although it is certainly not as powerful as the Moon Holy City, once it is formed, there is no way for you living to destroy it again!

Even if the Counts of Sicomel can resist the call of dusk and not kill indiscriminately, the breath of the underworld that continues to extend from Sico City will turn the entire Translancia and the surrounding area into a place of death.

Not a single inch of grass grows and the bones are full of wilderness, the living die and the dead wander!

In that case, even if the entire Dead Moon Sect poured out, there would be no way to help you, but this is not a bad thing for us, it means that the Dead Moon will have a second Holy City.

At that time, if you need it, for the sake of your familiarity, I can introduce you to the sect as a low-level priest or something.

Our welfare package is very good, but in the royal subordinate organization, every member of the royal family has a free shroud and antiseptic to receive every month, and rice flour oil and gold will be distributed every year on the cold moon festival and the scorching sun day.

Although we don't need it."

"Hey, you're pumping your brain again, aren't you?"

Murphy reached out and slammed Nifetali's head at once, causing the latter to scream but calm down, and she coughed twice in feigned moderation, saying:

"Anyway, this Ascension Ritual can't be stopped, but I can at least destroy the Rage Ritual to calm you down, and then I will use a series of Death Moon Sect secret methods to prolong the completion of the Ascension Ritual as long as possible.

But it's not a panacea! ”

The mummy mother stretched out three fingers and said in a serious tone:

"As I said earlier, the crux of the matter is not the undead in Sico, but the fact that this land, which has suffered so much pain and death, has resonated with the will of Hades, and even if you kill all the undead in Sico, this ritual will resurrect them again and again.

It can be said that at the moment when the ascension ceremony was launched, the arrangement of the dusk in Xike City had been completed.

They are already invincible.

That's why Dusk doesn't have to have people in the city, there's no need to do that.

I can now push back the completion of the Ascension Ritual by three months, which is a maximum of nine months from now, and the Death Sanctuary will be fully formed!

In the process, you have to find the Source.

Kill her!

Destroy her faction!

Recovering the common destiny of the Count and the Countess is the heart of the city's ritual of ascension, and the heart of Hades' resonance with the land.

As long as I get it back, I can restrain the power of death from spreading to the outside world, and let it accumulate and purify in a fixed area like the Moon Holy City did until it becomes the second Moon Holy City in hundreds of years.

Of course, I would like to warn both of you.

Once the Holy City is formed, then the Dead Moon Sect will take over here, not because we are greedy for territory or power, but because ordinary people can't handle this thing. ”

"Hmm."

Murphy nodded, and Tracey was a little sad but didn't object.

And so it was settled.

And Nephitali looked back at the old earl and his wife, and said:

"As for the two of you.

Although you are not registered as the Orthodox King of Hades, since this is the case, I will submit my application to the Moon Holy City, and you two will personally handwrite an explanatory document and application document, which will be forwarded by the Death Moon faction to the 'Tomb Kings' for review.

If they agree to your joining, then you will be part of the glorious 'Ancient Kings'. Well, enjoy the royal offerings of the Pharaohs.

The benefits are super good!

Not only does he automatically have the status of a high-ranking priest of the Death Moon Sect, but he also has the Ptolemaic royal family's special Death Regalia and the Janissaries of Hades as a guard of honor, and even a three-headed dog of Hades can be assigned to help you guard the door.

If you have a special fetish, you can also change to the Anubis Giant or the Hades Scorpion.

On the 7th of every month, at the end of the path of the dead in Hades, you can also participate in the gathering of ancient kings.

That's a status symbol in the world of the dead!

I'm hungry.

Alas, it's a pity that the tribe I came from was not very strong, and I was not qualified to support the ancient kings, otherwise I would be your colleague.

So don't be embarrassed, two.

Death is not the end of life, especially for those who qualify, death is just the beginning of another journey.

Hope for a good new life in death, and I think you two will be the brightest new stars at the gathering of kings.

Especially you, Countess.

Your amazing eloquence really has the potential to become a prom queen. ”
