Chapter 376: The Gathering of the Evil Undead
On the Twelve Correct Ways to Pursue Women, by Montes......
In the evening council hall, hundreds of court soldiers armed to the teeth crowded this originally spacious hall, and the breath of the evil undead still spread in the air, making the surrounding temperature continue to drop, but at this moment, everyone's attention was on the few books that fell to the ground.
"On the Twelve Correct Ways to Pursue Women...... In the strange confusion, I don't know who took the lead in pronouncing the name of the book, and then the audience was silent, in fact, except for Lin Taiping, everyone including Prime Minister Hilton and Duke Turan had a feeling of dizziness.
Wait, is this really a book? There is actually a book that teaches people how to pick up girls? Okay, teach people to pick up girls, but who can tell me, why are a few undead people reading this book seriously? Please, you are undead, what do you want to learn to pick up girls, have you lived too long, so you plan to find something to do to fall in love or something?
Crazy! This is simply crazy! Queen Gianna clutched the corners of her clothes, and the back of her trembling hand exposed the green tendons, and even her beautiful face was completely distorted.
As a person with a strong desire to control, the thing she hates the most is that things are out of her control, but on this ordinary afternoon, when that hateful Oriental came to the court, things got out of control again and again, and now there are a few skeleton archmages who like to read, damn it, which bastard wrote this inexplicable book?
"It's my ......" As if knowing the angry question in Queen Gianna's heart, an emotionless voice suddenly sounded, and in an instant, a cold cold wind appeared out of thin air at this moment, whistling and sweeping through, enveloping the entire council room, so that the throne was covered with a thick layer of frost.
At this moment, it was in the horrified eyes of everyone. An evil, gloomy and darkened figure slowly stepped out of the portal, his footsteps soft, as if weak as if they were powerless, but as if with terrible power, they slammed into everyone's heart.
"Are you...... You are ......" Time and space seemed to stand still at this moment, and everyone involuntarily retreated, barely under the pressure of that terrible spiritual power, trembling and looking up at this visitor, a few seconds later. When he saw the visitor's face, even the most powerful Duke of Turan was shocked and discolored, and even felt that his soul had sunk into darkness.
It's a lich! No, not just ordinary lichs, but the most evil lich king in legend!
"Take it easy, it's time for academic research, and I'm not interested in harvesting a few fragile souls. The Lich King smiled hoarsely, but slowly turned his old and decaying countenance, his eyes shining with the fire of an evil soul. Looking at Empress Gianna not far away, "By the way, I wrote that book, so." Ambitious beauty snake, do you have any opinion on this?"
Unable to answer at all, Queen Gianna was on the verge of breaking down when met with the Lich King's cold, emotionless eyes. She could only tremble and retreat again, and the armed soldiers around her immediately rushed forward, desperate but strong in front of her. However, everyone knew that if the Lich King was going to make a move, there was no one here who could stop him.
Fortunately, the Lich King didn't intend to do this, but turned his head to look at Lin Taiping again, and showed that kind of evil smile that looked stiff, "Lin, my dear friend, you really keep your promise, so next, we have to start by dealing with these people and turn a radius of five hundred miles into a city of the dead?"
No, hearing this, everyone around collectively changed color, there is no doubt that before the reinforcements from all forces arrive, this terrible Lich King definitely has the strength to do this, but it seems that Lin Taiping does not intend to approve of this construction, but said with a smile on his face: "Lord Mendes, you misunderstood, I didn't plan to conquer this city, I just duel with people, so I plan to invite you to ......"
"Duel, where is the duel?" Before Lin Taiping could finish speaking, and before the Lich King Mendes could answer, the Skeleton Archmages, who were still arguing about academic issues just now, suddenly turned their heads with excitement, "Great, how many years have we not seen a duel?" So what are you waiting for, hurry up and let this duel begin, by the way, by the way, who is our dueling target?"
Very well, at this moment, everyone present suddenly turned their heads in unison and looked at Duke Turan with that sympathetic expression, although the latter stood stubbornly in place, but the hand holding the long sword was trembling slightly, fully exposing the fear and nervousness in his heart.
There is no doubt that a fool would think that he has the strength to defeat a Lich King, even if both sides are Golden Intermediate powerhouses, but the evil Lich King, who has thousands of years of magical knowledge, is enough to crush opponents of the same level with magic, not to mention that in addition to the Lich King, there are several skeleton archmages around who are eyeing him......
"I admit defeat!" In the strange silence, Duke Turan was silent for a long time, and finally spit out a few words with difficulty, dropped the long sword casually, but glanced at Lin Taiping deeply, and turned around and left without hesitation.
"How so? how could this be?" Baron West looked at his father dumbfounded, and after a few seconds, when he realized that the Lich King's gaze was turning to him, he suddenly screamed with a pale face, and crawled out, "Damn, damn yellow-skinned monkey, I won't let you go like this, when I return to the family, I must ......"
There was a crisp sound outside the council chamber, and Baron West's strange screams suddenly stopped, and this vicious slap seemed to be slammed into Empress Gianna's face, making her pale face distorted, and her eyes burned with unconcealable anger.
Well, never reason with a woman in a rage!
"Then, Honorable Emperor and Empress, if there is nothing to do, we will also go first. Lin Taiping immediately said goodbye and left very interestingly, grabbing the Hilton Prime Minister who was still in a daze, and the Lich King and the Skeleton Archmage were of course close behind, and by the way, they also discussed the academic question of what is the relationship between humans and monkeys.
Behind them, the old Emperor Tyrant III was still drowsy, and Empress Gianna was standing there dumbfounded, and in the eerie silence, the woman who was so angry that she almost went crazy suddenly screamed, and the sharp voice even shattered the glass: "No, this is not the end, this is not the end...... You fools, go and ask the priests, come and ask the priests, it's time for them to serve me!"
Well, leaving aside Queen Gianna's mad rage, in the carriage at this moment, Prime Minister Hilton finally recovered from his shock, but he still raised his head vigilantly, looking at the Lich King and the Skeleton Archmage who were sitting opposite and discussing academic issues.
Not knowing what terrible things she thought of, she couldn't help but shudder, and turned her head to look at Lin Taiping beside her: "Lin, my friend, are you sure these people...... Uh, aren't these gentlemen messing around in Cold Rock City?"
"Well, that's how it should be for now. Lin Taiping touched his chin with some uncertainty, and seeing that Prime Minister Hilton was nervous again, he hurriedly comforted him kindly, "Relax, relax, I'll write a copy of "Darwin's Theory of Evolution" for them later, and you can provide a few more monkeys or something, so that they will be too busy to conquer the world in the next three months." ”
"Okay, I hope that's it......" Looking at the evil undead who were still discussing academic issues, Hilton couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, in fact, after the initial shock, she suddenly had some expectations, there was no doubt that if these powerful undead could join her camp, then the plan to seize the empire seemed to have a little more guarantee of success.
"Well, I personally think that you should not expect too much," as if knowing what she was thinking, Lin Taiping leaned into her ear and said in a low voice, "Seriously, instead of spending energy on them, I think you should find a way to win over those nobles, especially to repair the rift between you and the Duke of Turan." ”
"I understand, I'm going to visit the Duke of Turan in person tonight. Prime Minister Hilton nodded with a stern face, but couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Lin, you really caused me a big trouble this time, it's not good to have a conflict with someone, but you offended the notorious Baron West?"
In fact, just as Prime Minister Hilton said, there will inevitably be squires and losers among the aristocracy, such as the Duke of Turan's only son, Baron West, who is the most notorious gentleman in the imperial capital, this guy and more than a dozen aristocratic friends do not learn all day long to eat, drink and have fun, and are known as one of the biggest scourges of the imperial capital.
"You can't blame me, when I met him, I didn't know that his spelling skills were full. Lin Taiping touched his chin helplessly, thought about it and said with some doubts, "But it's strange, I see that Duke Turan has a very strict family education, could it be that it is just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, he is supporting Baron West behind his back?"
"Not really, the Duke of Turan is indeed a strict father. Prime Minister Hilton shook his head, but couldn't help but sigh, "But the problem is, he is such a son, even if he is strict, what can he do? Not to mention that he is busy with affairs, and he doesn't have much time to stare at Baron West, and that gentleman will mess around as soon as he finds an opportunity, and it is said that even the tutor has been angry with more than a dozen." ”
"Isn't it, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Lin Taiping touched his chin with emotion, and said in his heart that this kind of thing would happen in any era, but he sighed with emotion, but he seemed to think of something, and suddenly raised his head thoughtfully, and looked at the Lich King and the Skeleton Archmage who were discussing why humans could walk upright.
"Ahem, then again, I suddenly thought of ......" (to be continued......)
