Section XI Arrangement

Ashrufat had created some simple portals in the Rat-Man's Underworld, so he knew that these things might seem fantastic on the surface, but they weren't too much trouble to make. However, perhaps due to the strict hierarchy of the Nezumi Realm (you must know that they even directly experimented with slaves or lower-class soldiers in vivo), the Nezumi quickly accepted the use of portals and did not express any doubts about it.

"I had a great idea for a technique. We will use the way the energy is transferred...... Control these portals from a distance...... In this way, everything is under control. Carrie said. "Think about it, master, in a few decades or so, we will build a strong defense in West Vania. When the time comes, we will be able to escape from the worst of threats...... When we're full-fledged, we don't have to worry about anything! If they dare to repeat the example of the coalition attack, we can let them have no return!" Carrie confidently declared. "But for now, you'd better play your part. ”

"Play my part?"

"Hee-hee. Of course, he is a cruel and just, powerful and unambitious, lustful and powerful 'inhuman' ruler. Carrie said. "But master, you must be conscious. The so-called 'rule of goodness' is not about doing whatever you want. It's not just that you can't do bad things, it also means that sometimes you can't even do good things. ”

"Master, someone is coming. Ashruphat hadn't reacted yet, but in his mind, Carrie suddenly reminded.

Ashrufat turned his head and saw Scarlet. Due to biochemical modification, Scarlet needs a lot less normal sleep time than ordinary people, so she has woken up.

Scarlet wasn't wearing her armor at the moment, she was only wearing a scarf, and her body was mostly naked. But it's actually nothing, this floor is small, but it belongs to the private living room of Ashrufat, so you can't enter it.

"Why are you up?" said Ashruphat to his feet. Scarlet took two steps forward and suddenly threw herself into his arms. Ashrufat could only feel her body tremble violently now.

This is the scarlet. She is not good at showing her true side, as long as a third party is present, even if it is Leia, she can't easily let go of her defenses. His two wives are actually opposite in character. Perhaps because of her ability to foresee, Leia seems to have accepted everything from the beginning, including the identity of Eshuruphat and the sharing of a bed with Scarlet. On the contrary, for this point, Scarlet is much more restrained. Carrie once told him that his two wives had actually acquiesced to each other's status, and Scarlet admitted that she belonged to a subordinate position. But that doesn't mean she's going to be able to accept it all without any psychological barriers. As long as Leia is present, Scarlet is reluctant to show the feminine side.

"I'm back, don't worry. Ashrufat gently stroked his long, fire-colored hair. "There's a lot going on...... Lots of surprises...... But I eventually came back. ”

"I'm really worried...... At that time, you said that you would be back in a year. Crimson leaned against his body and whispered.

Ashrufat didn't answer, just continued to caress the other person.

"Don't worry, I have no other reason to go out this time. I will be here and always by your side. After a short while, Ashrufat said. "Also, you're doing a great job of keeping everything under control here in my absence. He looked down and kissed Scarlet lightly on the cheek. "Thank you. ”

"This ...... Actually, I didn't do anything. Crimson burst into laughter. "It's Léa and Carrie who did it well. Truth be told, she's very talented at it. No more than me, I can only scare people with a sword. ”

"It's nice to be able to scare people. Ashrufat replied. "At least you did what you could. Léa is not fit for this kind of thing. It would be too difficult for her to pretend to be scary. ”

"Master, why do you want to establish such a female guard?" Scarlet asked suddenly. "Carrie says it's your decision. ”

"It's inconvenient not to have reliable guards, and I'm not comfortable if I get a team of men to command you," Ashrufat said with a laugh. "You see, I'm selfish, am I?" his hand quietly wrapped around Scarlet's waist, wrapping her slender waist tightly. Scarlet was like a kitten in his arms, quiet, without struggling at all. Only her breathing became a little rapid.

Ashrufat straightened the kitten in his arms. There was only one chair in the study, but that didn't make a difference. Scarlet is very obedient. At this time, the east is showing the white of the fish's belly, and there is still a long time before the official dawn.

......

The Black Mage's Academy is located on the edge of the jungles of southern West Vania. According to Dr. Oliveira's archaeological research, this jungle is a truly wild area, unexplored since ancient times. Because of the climate and soil, on the one hand, the vegetation of this place is wild, and on the other hand, the land is barren, which is not suitable for cultivation. Of course, there are no minerals in this place. Even Carrie doesn't have any development plans for this place. This jungle became the natural frontier of southern Sylvania.

It is clear from the map (the marvelous map provided by Carrie) that the jungle is vast, spreading to the end of the continent and touching the coastline.

It's called "Academy", but it's really just a large open space dotted with scattered houses. The only thing that looks a bit like an academy is a tower of stars for celestial observations. In addition to this, there is a building that serves as an indoor laboratory and storage room.

There are no walls around here, and on the surface anyone can come and go as they please. But in reality, the average West Vanian resident is afraid of this place and does not come to wander around at all. But those who are really hostile understand that there are a lot of dark magic hounds in this place, that is, dire wolves. These undead maintain their sense of smell, making it easy for them to find anyone suspicious who sneaks up on them.

Of course, so far, there have been no intruders here. Ordinary people naturally didn't dare to come, and even the church didn't plan to do anything about it. What's the use of being here? Everyone knows that the true source of dark magic is the vampires who stay in the dark castle. As long as the vampires are alive, there is no point in killing a few dark magicians.

But unfortunately, in Sivania, the vampires have established their rule. Throughout the region of Sivania, black mages are protected not by blows. When the news spread throughout the Anthropocene, the dark mages who had been hiding in the dark corners for a long time came to Sivania. The number of members of this magical academy has increased dramatically over the past few years.

"Is this what the academy looks like?" said Ashruphat to himself, looking at the academy. While the site was being selected and ready to be built, he was leaving Sivania on a long journey. So it was the first time he saw the Academy.

"Architecture isn't the point," Carrie said. "The main thing is safety and freedom. Dark magicians are not picky about learning places, and black magic has no requirements for experimental sites. ”

Ashrufat took stock of the houses here. It can be seen that the requirements of the dark mages are very low, they are essentially scholars, and the pursuit of knowledge is the first element.

At this moment, in the open space in the middle of the academy, many dark magicians gathered. It looks like they're preparing for a massive magical experiment. Ashrufat remembered when he led the undead legion into battle. At that time, the number of dark mages under him was only a few dozen, and now there are at least a hundred. This may be due to the defection of dark mages from other regions, or it may be due to the fact that some aspiring dark arts aspirants have joined the team.

It's easy to understand. No matter how much the Church propagates the evil of black magic, there is one fact that cannot be hidden. Black magic can bring about incredible changes in the human body, slow down aging, prolong life, and even fight many incurable diseases. Therefore, there is no shortage of seekers on the road of black magic.

Carrie didn't inform the Dark Mages beforehand. So when Ashrufat appeared, there was a little turmoil in the Academy of Dark Magic. Several dark mages who recognized him ran up to greet him, including Hein. When Ashrufat decided to establish the Academy of Dark Magic, he appointed the Dark Mage as its headmaster. This is because Hein has a relatively high reputation and spiritual attainments in the circle of black magicians.

"Lord Duke, are you here?" Hain looked a little flattered. It was the first time since the establishment of the Academy of Dark Arts that Ashrufat had been here, at least the first time he had seen it.

"What are you doing?" Ashruphat gestured to indicate that they didn't have to mind too much.

"An experiment. A dark mage whom Ashrufat had never seen before explained. "We're looking at the possibility of creating large undead creatures. ”

Ashrufat looked towards the center of the field, where the dark mages had gathered had dispersed, leaving a huge skeleton in their place. But at a glance, it was clear that it was not the bones of a giant beast, but a combination of various bones from non-living beings.

Ashrufat got closer, and with his superhuman vision, he noticed that many parts of the beast were embedded with particles of dimensional stones. On top of that, the patchwork behemoth also has wings attached to it.

"If I'm not mistaken, they're using the zombie dragon you left them as a template to create the Flying Behemoth. Carrie said in her head. "It looks like they've deciphered the mysteries of the magic of resurrecting the zombie dragon. It's smarter than I expected......"

"You go on. Ashruphat stood farther away, gesturing to the dark mage. "I'll just take a look. ”

Around the skeletal behemoth, corresponding black magic symbols have been carved into them. Ashruphat recognized that the magic circle was used to condense the energy of the dark arts so that it could not be dispersed. Then he saw several black magicians begin to cast spells, activating the magic array on the ground with black magic energy, and many black magic symbols emitted a faint light together. The exhausted mage immediately stepped back and was replaced by a companion.

In just a short period of time, this combined giant beast has condensed an extremely powerful black magic energy. Ashrufat was interested to see that under the influence of the high concentration of dark magic energy, the entire body of the giant beast was glowing.

"Their attempts are not destined to succeed. The problem is with the core head of the undead. In her mind, Carrie said. "Its skull is also patchwork, so it doesn't have the natural ability to fly. It's like putting a fish's brain into a horse's head, and even if the fish has the limbs of a horse, it doesn't know how to run. ”

"Really?" Ashrufat gestured into the distance. "So, what's that?" he asked in his mind.
