Chapter 1056: Nephitali's Moon Esoteric Painting Style is Quite Wrong

Calculating the time, there are still more than thirty days before the start of the Pharaoh's birthday feast.

For such a large-scale diplomatic event, such a little time to prepare is actually very urgent, don't look at the big treasurer Murphy, who is still leisurely writing various copywriting for the new plot, but Miriam, who is really doing things, is already busy choosing birthday gifts for the pharaoh and preparing for his entourage.

After all, this is the first time since the end of the ten-year war that Translasia has participated in foreign affairs of this specification as a separate political entity, and it must be taken seriously!

Even Professor Malcolm has been urgently recalled to the Crimson Keep, and his explanation of the taboos and customs of the Songhai people as a historian will undoubtedly help the Archon.

In addition to preparing gifts, this trip to the Land of Origin also requires bringing back the little mummy Nifitari, who has been stranded in Transncia for several months, but the little mummy also has a lot to prepare.

Especially regarding the state of the undead in Sico City, after confirming that she really can't handle it alone, Nephitali has decided to shake someone from her "mother's house", that is, the Church of the Dead Moon, to help.

However, it was a super-large organization that had existed for more than a thousand years, and it would take a long time just to report and go through the process after going back, so the Moon Esoteric Sect formed by the little mummy locally was also forced to be busy these days.

They have to assist Nephi Tali in collecting various samples and taking pictures of the field, as well as summing up the various antecedents and details of the city of Sico becoming what it is now, so when Murphy came to this land of the dead under the light of the sun, all he saw was that the undead in the city were mobilized, as if they were doing a "super clean".

The little mummy, Nifitali, sat on the head of her three-headed dog, waving a spirit flag with vigor.

Wherever she pointed, a large mass of brainless undead was driven there, and began to search and dig above the cleared ruins.

Farther in the center of the city, the Necrocers and Hades Knights of the Lunar Esoteric Cult each led their minions to collect psionic samples in different areas, as well as to classify and record the types of undead in the current city.

It's rare to see a group of dead guys busy in the sun without touching the ground, at least Murphy has never seen the dead carry out such a large-scale activity in such a "fresh" manner.

"Are you going to turn the ruins of this city upside down?"

Murphy flapped his wings and landed beside Nephitali under the cover of the Cloak of Shadows, quipping:

"Why do I feel like you're so anxious like those bad students who don't usually do their homework well and wait until the teacher checks on them?"

"You can shut up, you might as well come and help if you have time to tease."

Nephitali brought herself a golden mask to cover her mummified face, and she said with great remorse and grief:

"It's not because I've been spending my precious time helping you create damn dragoons!

As a result, my "Xike City Undead Investigation Report" was not even half completed, if such a report was handed in, I would have to be punished by my mentor to go to the abyss of resentful spirits to see the gate for hundreds of years, the moon of death is above, I have to at least sort out the information before leaving, and then rush to the manuscript on the way.

It is estimated that it is too late to check the text and norms, but I hope that the predecessors of the Dead Moon Church will not be too entangled in grammatical issues.

Yes?

Why are you still watching here?

Go and help!

The dark knight on the other side of the vault was still in a strange state of confusion, and the guy didn't listen to my orders, and he didn't want to leave.

Hurriedly!

Master Murphy, use your invincible power to take it out!

Little Sharon had begged me to ship the death gold out of the city as soon as possible to relieve the pressure on the local finances. ”

"Okay, okay, it's all our fault, okay."

Murphy pouted and said:

"But when I first returned to the Scarlet Keep a few days ago, I heard a few guards chatting and saying that you had been wandering around the market of the Crimson Keep all day long, and that the merchants there knew you, and that there were several sets of clothes you had ordered in the tailor's shop of the Water Lady who had not been picked up.

It doesn't look like I'm usually busy with work

Don't stare at me, I'm just telling the truth.

Speaking of which, are you sure that after you leave, the undead in the city will not suddenly go berserk?

I, a swordsman who doesn't know much about psionic energy, can feel that the death psionic energy here is at least three times richer than before, and the lowest-level skeleton soldiers here are all extremely well raised, and they have begun to advance to skeleton warriors. ”

"It's hard to say."

The little mummy suddenly became listless, and she grumbled on the spirit flag:

"Actually, the best plan is for me to stay here, and you can hand over the report for me, and let the Dead Moon Church send the Death Priest to help. But the Pharaoh's birthday feast is a real event for my clan, and I can't help but go back, or else I will be disrespecting the traditions of the Empire.

I'll leave my three-headed dog here.

It can at least ensure that the activities of the undead will not break through the safety threshold, and all the members of my Moon Esoteric Sect have also been assigned duties, as long as they are not lazy, the enchantment in the city can operate normally, and there is a high probability that there will be no problems with Count Sicmel and his wife.

But to be on the safe side, I would suggest that you mobilize at least thirty dragoons to guard the outskirts of the city, just as we have arranged for the Sun Ships, the Hades Army, and the Quicksand Guards around the Wraith of Wraith.

In this way, even if the undead riot, with the strong combat power of the dragoons, it can also give you time to transfer troops and not let the undead tide get out of control.

Oh, and speaking of dragoons!

You come with me, there happens to be a batch of freshly completed dragoons here that need to be handed over to the Translancian military, I heard that you have recruited a group of powerful mechanics to come over, so in the future, this kind of work will be left to them, and my Moon Esoteric Sect will only be responsible for providing the wetware core that has been assembled. ”

In the little mummy's babbling description, she takes Murphy on a three-headed dog to a completely razed neighborhood on the outskirts of Sico.

It was built out of steel as a large makeshift production workshop, surrounded by crafted knights of Hades and ghoul minions patrolling back and forth.

The first thing Murphy saw when he stepped inside was a row of disassembled walker parts, which had been brought back from the battlefields of the Genoa Peninsula and stored in different areas according to their modular functions.

Not even the damaged outer armor was wasted, and a team of Knights of Hades was there to wield the steam-furnace-powered cutting saws to dismantle the broken steel.

Not far away is a simple smelting shop, where the steel that cannot be reused is sent to be cast and then reshaped into weapons and improvised armor that can be used by the undead.

There's nothing wrong with this kind of scrap reuse, and given the fact that Translancia is in ruins, all departments have a similar tradition of frugality, but what really surprised Murphy was that it was all the undead who were working on the site!

I don't know how Nefitari operates, but she just let the supposedly brainless skeleton warriors wield sledgehammers, while the ghouls carry pieces of steel to the forge, and then the silent corpse witch directs the lowliest skeleton warriors to manipulate the molds, and next to them is a skeleton-drawn flatbed.

Once a batch of weapons and armor had been forged, it would be placed on a cart by the big-shouldered knight of Hades, and when it was full, the skeleton horse would carry it east and west towards the barracks at the other end of the city.

The whole process is smooth, and the undead will not whisper to fish, which makes this scene look quite absurd like "undead automation".

Murphy retracted his gaze and looked forward, deeper in the field, a large number of undead were crawling around the iron shelves built around the dragoon structure, using human hands to put various components into the mechanical structure and fix it, and then there was the sound of iron chains, and the heavy outer armor hoisted by the pulley structure was lifted into the air by the pull of many knights of Hades, and then covered the mechanical structure under the command of a corpse witch in the high place waving the flag.

In the final step, a skeletal warrior holding a steam-powered percussion drill stepped forward and drove the fixing bolts into the riveting holes with a stiff motion.

A dragoon was assembled in this way.

Of course, this thing will have to go through a series of tests to confirm that it is correct before it is sent to the military to settle the bill.

In the warehouse next to this workshop, there are already six assembled dragoons waiting to be repainted.

"How did you do that?"

Murphy exclaimed:

"The thinking and consciousness of the undead are already weak, I have seen how other necrophils manipulate low-level undead, they will never be able to do such a precise operation and command, but in your hands, these undead have become the most qualified workers

It is arguably one of the most efficient factories in Transnesia.

It's hard to imagine, is this the power of the Church of the Dead Moon? ”

"Hey, the Dead Moon Church doesn't need this backward mode of production."

The little mummy was immediately happy when she saw Murphy looking like she had never seen the world, and she folded her arms and complained:

"Don't look at us as a faith organization, but we don't resist the help of mechanical forces, there are many mechanical workshops in the Dead Moon Holy City, which are dedicated to providing armaments for the Hades army, and occasionally take on some civilian orders.

We also have some automated machines that we can find in the Creator's legacy that can be used.

It's just a small fight, but how to say it?

The corpse witches of the Moon Esoteric Cult are very quick learners, I just taught them the method, and they trained such an undead production team for Sike City in their training day after day.

It is true that the undead are not good at thinking and planning, but as long as they are trained in a certain way, they will be very well adapted to this kind of assembly line of work, and the provision of survival supplies from the dead to the living is one of the most important teachings of our Dead Moon Church.

In my vision, the city of Sico will become the industrial city of Transancia!

The old Earl of Sicomel was also very interested in this plan, and he fully cooperated with me in the renovation of the city, but unfortunately the old Count was not able to move freely at present.

As for these weapons"

The little mummy hesitated, and she whispered:

"I can't hide it from you, the fact is that the old earl is preparing for war!

He had said more than once that the feud between Sico City and the Pioneer Legion needed to be settled by his own hands, and he obviously did not intend to let the living take on the unfinished mission of the dead, and he would not become a member of the kings of Hades until he completed this matter.

The selection of the inhabitants of the undead city has been completed, and in addition to the resurrected Sico Hussars, an elite necromantic army with a 100% armor rate is also taking shape, and its lowest members are powerful undead such as skeleton warriors.

Such a quality can already be called a real Hades army.

I don't know how you living people are going to deal with the border conflict with the Plantagenet Kingdom, but the dead obviously have their own ideas, and you know that the undead are generally stubborn, so if you plan to stop their revenge, it will likely lead to more serious consequences. ”

"Block? Why block? ”

Murphy looked back at the little mummy, and he said:

"Hatred and grudges are real, and when the first Plague Barrel is smashed into Sico, it is doomed! As lord of this land, it is my duty to vent anger on its behalf, not to suppress the desires and demands of my people.

Even without the participation of the Sike Hades Army, the living people will not forget the suffering of history.

The Plantagenet owes us a debt!

The longer the time drags on, the higher the interest rate, which is very simple.

But I have a preconceived premise for the revenge of the undead of Sico, and that is that they must not get out of hand.

Once they have gone from Hades to the scourge of the dead, from righteous vengeance to merciless slaughter, then I will have to entrust the Church of Light with the task of solving these problems. ”

"Mm-hmm, that's what I have to do when I return to the Dead Moon Holy City this time."

Nephitali picked up her Book of the Dead and said:

"The Guru must have a way to stabilize their minds and draw a bottom line for all their actions, just like the Songhai Empire's restraint on the kings of Hades, the dead have the range of activities of the dead, and cannot interfere with the society of the living.

The cycle of life and death must be balanced, otherwise there will be really big problems.

Also, Lord Murphy, I'm going to bring a dragoon with me this time as a model, the Church of the Dead Moon has also tried to fuse the undead with the machine in the past, but unfortunately it ultimately failed.

The Dragoons are not a successful work, but they do accomplish the ideas of the sages to some extent through the wonderful intermediary of the wet core, and I will take it back to my colleagues, and perhaps the theorists will come up with some clever ideas to help you improve the Dragoons' combat system. ”

"Well, of course I'm welcome."

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"It's not enough to bring only one back to disassemble and analyze, I suggest you bring a few more, five, so that the Dead Moon Church will have more opportunities to practice and dismantle.

Of course, if you bring five units, you have to bring back five units, and if I can help with the spirit enhancement by the way, I will also be very happy.

Nephitali, thou art truly our noble man of Translasia, and if I could, after the city of Sico became a holy place of death, could I invite you to come and sit here for a long time and preach the doctrine of the Moon of Death to my people? ”

"Hah! You're just trying to trick me into coming over and working for you for a long time, you're so bad for Murphy! ”

The little mummy with his brain in the water sees through Murphy's cunning plan at a glance, but the touting from the vampire governor makes the little mummy very useful.

She pretended to think for a moment, then nodded and said:

"If the Moon Esoteric Sect can become a subordinate organization of the Death Moon Church, as the founder, I will naturally sit in the 'Land of Dragon Prosperity' of our sect, and it should be an internship before taking up my post.

In fact, if I didn't choose this place, I would have to spend hundreds of years in some Pyramid of Death in the Land of Origin before I could take over the mantle of the Mentor.

Compared to the solemn and deserted pyramid of death, I still find the city of Sico and Transcia a little more interesting.

So, I said yes! ”

"Yay!"

Murphy laughed and prepared to present a badge of "Honorary Transansian" to the able little mummy, but it was here that some noise came from nearby, causing Murphy to turn his head and see a group of big-shouldered Vam barbarians coming out of a house with their handouts.

This scene caused the vampire lord to raise an eyebrow, and he said to Nephitali:

"Are these the learners sent by the Temple of Vam?"

"Well, they specifically named themselves 'Spirit Forgers.'"

The little mummy explains:

"Their activities in Sico City are absolutely secretive, and no one knows about them except us, these are the most learned berserker priests in the Temple of Vam, who have come to learn how to fuse their souls and steel as a way to create a berserk 'immortal war spirit' for the berserkers in the human world.

These guys are actually very poor in learning, and barbarians are inherently unfit for this kind of meticulous creation.

but

Their fanatical beliefs make up for their lack of learning.

They see it as an enshrinement to the Berserker, and with their zeal for learning, I expect that the land of Icebay will soon have a ruthless Tale of the War Spirit, but I really don't know why Lord Vam would do it."

"His kingdom is gone, and Vam doesn't seem to have any intention of rebuilding it."

Murphy explains:

"The Berserker needs a group of samurai who can confront the evil of the subspace, and he wants to learn from Sue and become a pack of wolves that wreak havoc on the subspace battlefield. It was a recruitment for the War of the Gods, and mortals couldn't set foot on such a battlefield, but ruthless and indifferent war spirits could.

I can only say that it is worthy of Vam.

If he didn't have the kingdom of God in the first place, then he wouldn't have to worry about the kingdom of God being besieged or occupied, so that even if the forces of chaos wanted to use the tactics of changing homes three hundred years ahead of the times, it would be impossible to accurately find Vam's fatal flaw.

No, that's not true.

I suspect that the Berserker may be planning to shape Bingwan into his kingdom of God, a kingdom of God on earth, as long as the material world does not fall, he will have a stable rear, alas, you sometimes have to admit that the saying that a fool must have a thousand worries is really golden. ”
