Section 129 The Schemes of the Undead (10)
"The ancient Empire of the Undead once occupied a territory the size of a country, turning the souls of millions of people into the source power of the Resentful Tower, and many more creatures had to abandon their homes. A voice rang out from outside the door, and it was the flame mage Yetir who had arrived.
He bowed slightly to Olwyn and said cautiously: "This is the undead empire that I know in the past, I don't know what is the difference between it and the undead kingdom that the undead want now?"
Olwyn said slowly: "The ancient empire of the undead is far more simple than you think, for example, why was the empire of the undead successfully established at that time? ”
Everyone was shocked, including Solomon, and even Strauss had not mentioned this statement to him.
From the mouth of Olwyn begins to tell a dusty history.
This begins with the Terrans and Orcs rebelling against the High Elves, and in history, as we all know, the Terrans and Orcs rebelled against the High Elves as if they had their own armies, and then fought hard separately to expel the High Elves.
In this war of resistance, the Terrans openly admitted that they had received help from the gods of the heavenly realm, and they were able to analyze the principles of divine magic and get a lot of magical inspiration, creating a system of magic models that was different from the ancient magic represented by the High Elves.
But in fact, it is far from that simple, there are other forces that have played a role in it, even including the demons of Purgatory.
Necromancers, on the other hand, were considered to be the type of Terrans who had gone astrays in their own magical system, just as the Rhines were originally a group of Terran magicians who transformed themselves into a living species in order to have more time to study magic.
Necromancers are also for a variety of purposes, or need to survive for a longer period of time. Or want to harness the power of the undead. Or revenge.
They carefully studied the various reasons for the formation of the undead. They then exhibited more necromancy and collaborated with the high-level undead to control the low-level undead, whose greatest achievement was the creation of magic and magical rituals that transformed creatures into undead after death.
Before them, the conditions for the undead to appear were often very coincidental, so the number could not be huge, and after they appeared, it meant that the undead could multiply themselves. Although this proliferation is based on other organisms.
The battle between the Terrans and the Orcs against the High Elves was still quite difficult, although they received help from the Celestial Realm and even Purgatory, so they adopted a tolerant attitude towards this group of magicians who had gone astray.
Because of them, the combat power of the human race can be doubled, and they can fight once before they die, and they can be transformed into undead by necromancers to fight again after death.
Coupled with the help of the naturally generated high-level undead, the Terrans were able to not only expel the High Elves, but also suffer less losses than the Orcs in this war of resistance. Defeat the orcs in the ensuing war of beasts.
But the price is that the undead have taken over a country in the south and conducted their research.
But the necromancers in order to maintain their wraiths. Killing too many Terrans and other creatures in a frenzy, and finally getting into a big debate about whether to kill all the non-undead creatures and become undead at once, or to raise other creatures under their jurisdiction like sheep and pigs, so that they can breed and have more sources.
With the second help of the Heavenly Realm and the help of the Church of Light, the Terrans took advantage of the state of division and controversy of the undead to attack the undead empire, driving the necromancers to the current overseas archipelago, destroying the Tallinn-like Wraith.
"So, Lord Orwyn, what is the difference between the realm of the undead that you are talking about and the empire of the undead that has appeared and almost become the enemy of other creatures?" asked Etir, which was what everyone wanted to know, but only Solomon had vaguely guessed a little.
Alwyn said lightly, "From what I just described, should you understand what the biggest flaw of the undead is?"
"It's a matter of reproduction, there are too many conditions for the appearance of the undead in ancient times, even if the later necromancers created various methods that can transform into the undead, but its foundation is still based on other creatures, in other words, can I say that the undead are thieves in some way?" Solomon replied suddenly.
Alwyn stared at him, "That's right, they're thieves. The complete cycle composed of the laws of any plane is the complete annihilation of the life imprint of the creature, and its life energy will return to the plane, and new life will be born under the action of the law, becoming a part of the new life. Although the undead are born after the death of living beings, death does not mean annihilation. ”
Everyone showed a deep contemplative look, death does not mean annihilation, as long as everyone has reached the high level, they can vaguely understand this meaning.
In a certain way, if you are not completely annihilated after death, you will be in a state of death and death, and you will be in a state of death and death, which is not a product of nature and not the normal permission of the laws of the plane.
If it is reasonable to say that the existence of zài is reasonable, then it can also be regarded as the evolution of the plane in its self-development, and the evolution of its laws has gone wrong to produce a new state, a new organism.
But the problem is that if the undead are really regarded as a new creature, this new creature does not have the ability to reproduce itself at the beginning, and it is necessary to rely on the continuous emergence of loopholes similar to the laws of the plane, and after the death of other creatures, their own energy is not returned to the plane, and self-precipitation and accumulation become a new species of mental change and partial memory loss, the undead.
Later, even if the necromancers joined the camp of the undead, in order to create their own zào artificially created zào undead, as Orwyn said, this is based on the transformation of other organisms, and it is always not their self-proliferation, including the feast of flesh and blood that Solomon saw, whether it is the Holy Grail of Blood, they all use the flesh and blood energy of other creatures to transform the same kind.
So to the plane as a whole, necromancers are like thieves, they steal from the energy cycles allowed by the laws of the plane, and to other creatures, they are robbers because they forcibly kill other creatures and then convert their lives into undead or source power for the Wraith's Tower.
"But this time it's different. Olwyn's expression became stern, "They want to truly establish a kingdom of the undead. ”
He pointed to the eastern sky, where it was like knocking over an inkwell, and a large amount of miserable green and a little blood was constantly seeping into the sky, slowly expanding.
"Their current goal has passed the original Undead Empire, and what they are trying to do is to fundamentally transform the laws of this plane into soil that can automatically become the undead after death. ”
Olwyn's words made everyone's faces change drastically, including Solomon, who was already very close to this truth.
Although he didn't have the same wealth of knowledge and understanding of the laws of the plane as Orwyn, he was a traverser, and his thoughts were more scattered than everyone here, and he still guessed most of the whimsical methods.
The real purpose of the undead is just like the change that is being born in the eastern sky, they ultimately want to change the plane and the laws of the plane together, so that the energy circulation of this plane after death will directly have only one pattern, that is, the conditions for the appearance of the undead.
In this way, there will be only one new species born in this plane in the future, and that is the undead.
If we regard a plane as a large factory, and the energy circulation process in it as a manufacturing process, then the original plane law is to create what the plane allows and can produce, and the purpose of the undead is to change the purpose of production, so that the entire plane will from now on produce only one kind of being, the undead.
Any other life that wants to fight in such a plane will not only face the home of the undead, but the energy of the creatures he destroys, including his own death, will be fed into this plane and used to give birth to new undead.
This is indeed a bold and somewhat whimsical, but extremely clever approach.
If this method is successful, the undead will no longer be a self-reproducing derivative, or in other words, they will rise to become a thief who was just a small thief relative to the entire plane.
And I'm afraid it is not only to solve the problem of self-reproduction or large-scale reproduction, because after this changes the laws of the plane, the undead become the only species in this plane, and they also occupy the opportunity to evolve, even if their evolution is a problem, but without any competitors, they will occupy the only opportunity to evolve in the plane.
However, in order to achieve what the undead said they wanted, they would have to change the laws of the plane successfully, and they had already done so, but it was clear that it was not enough.
Then, whether it is to prevent the original creatures of this plane from stopping them, or to need more life transformation to further change the laws of the plane and make this plane become a kingdom of the undead faster, the undead will not let go of any creatures other than them, so they have carried out such a plan, temporarily blocking the possibility of plane teleportation in the selected plane, turning it into an "island", and then proceeding.
Fadell was unfortunately chosen by the undead, and the plane blockade carried out by the undead was definitely impossible for a long time, but the appearance of the Feast of Flesh and Blood, the Golden Cup of Blood, and the appearance of the three Undead Kings can tell how much money the Isle of the Dead has invested in this plan.
Solomon had an even more terrible conjecture, for he was a more strategic man than anyone else.
If the undead really succeed in possessing such a plane, it is equivalent to having a nearly unsinkable base, will they go on to turn more planes into the realm of the undead?
Solomon thought for a moment, if he was the undead, he would. (To be continued......)
