Be quiet!

When Wren finished reporting the matter, there was an eerie silence in the camp.

"You just said... Udi Cooper wants to swear allegiance to me?" Pedi looked ghostly, "Are you sure this is what Udi Cooper said?"

"Yes, I can be sure that I was there. Wren nodded, "He promised to tell you everything he knew about the Undead Legion, and of course the knowledge in his head." ”

"A necromancer's allegiance, really... Incredible. Drahir was also shocked by the news, and he looked at Pedi, "This is something that has never happened in the past history, and I need to report this matter to the First General." ”

"I'm more interested in what he has in his head. Cowlier's eyes lit up.

"The most important knowledge in his head was about necromancy and creating undead monsters. "And this knowledge depends on evil energy, so you'd better not touch it... If you don't want to be a corpse. ”

"Do you care about me?" said Collier, smiling gravely at Drahir.

"I'm warning you!" Drahir didn't have the heart to joke at the moment, he looked at Pedi and said, "Can't trust a necromancer, their loyalty is the least reliable, their souls are full of filth, and soul oaths have almost no constraints on them. ”

"I don't know if the necromancer's soul is tainted, but in terms of what Udy Cooper has done in the past, his oath has no credibility. "I don't want to be in a room with someone like that. ”

"If such a person is allowed to enter Fort Kawar in a grand manner, the whole continent will laugh at us. Baron Hannina also expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty!" Sir Fred bowed his head in revealing his humility, "the hundreds of thousands of innocents who have died under the leadership of Herion, and the hundreds of thousands of people who have survived, need to atone for their sinful lives with Udi Cooper's life. ”

"The undead legions are undoubtedly powerful, but their source of power requires a lot of lives. Morinda affirmed, "It is impossible for the living and the dead to coexist, and Udi Cooper must be held accountable for the damage he has done to the Herion Collar with his abusive power." ”

"Let's confirm his identity first. Pedi had planned to meet Udi Cooper's thoughts, but he was instantly killed by the clear statements of the ministers, he looked at Draxier, "If it's really Udi Cooper, find a way to get information first, and when you're sure he's useless, then..." ”

Drahir immediately nodded solemnly, "Although we love peace and nature, we also have a heart for killing and cruelty, and I will let Udi Kubo's soul get the punishment he deserves." ”

"This isn't the Narren Forest, you should need my help. Baron Hannina stood up, "As a veteran police officer with over thirty years of interrogation experience, I have a hundred ways to get Udi Cooper to tell all his secrets. ”

"I hope your methods work for necromancers. As he spoke, Draxier walked towards the tent door, and halfway through he turned to look at Wren: "Knight, I need you to lead the way. ”

...

Fifty miles west of the city of Herryn, there is a large ranch officially run by the local chamber of commerce.

More than half of the Highland horses imported by the Kingdom of Kruria from the Twak Heights were bred in this ranch before changing hands, either sold across the continent or distributed to the army.

In the dimly lit dungeons of the management area south of the ranch, the cold wind from the vents blew "whirring", and the flames in the iron basin on the damp walls were blown to the ground.

"It's right ahead. Wearing knight's armor, Wren stood at the entrance of the dungeon with a serious face, leaning sideways and pointing to the dark passage in the dungeon, "It was here that we found Udi Cooper, he didn't resist, we caught him easily, and now he is sealed in the deepest cell by the mage with sealing magic." ”

"I hate places like this. Drahir looked at the simple dungeon nonchalantly, his eyes filled with disgust.

"Udi Cooper doesn't want to leave here, and we don't dare risk going to war with him in this kind of place. Wren explained: "Luckily, when we found him, he was very weak. ”

Drahir stood in the doorway and didn't walk in immediately, because the oppressive dungeon made him very unaccustomed, "Why do you like to learn how to dwarves to burrow?"

"Because it's safest to hold prisoners in this kind of place!" Hannina scrambled into the passage and walked into the dungeon without looking back.

"It's pretty safe. Drahir looked at Hannina's rapidly disappearing back and nodded at Wren, raising his steps as he looked at the circle of earthy halos circulating on the wall, because Hannina was subconsciously thinking about how to escape if he was locked up here.

In the midst of Draxier's thoughts, they were guided by Wren through two narrow crosswalks to the outside of a separate, heavily guarded cell.

The imprisoned magic runes here were noticeably more complex than all the places they had just been, and the glow of the circulation made those who came here wonder if they had entered the secret base of a group of mages.

"He's in there. Wren was quiet.

"Open!" Hanina didn't hesitate.

"Bang!" at Wren's motion, the two guards each pulled out a key and opened the closed cell door with the help of a magician.

"Are you here?" said a voice that seemed to come out of the dark room.

Wren raised his torch and rushed into the cell first to light the fire inside.

As the light of the fire filled the room, a large white stone first caught the eyes of Draxier and Hanina, and then their eyes were drawn to a face in the middle of the stone that was whiter than the stone, and when their eyes looked at this face, the eyes that glittered with blue fire were also looking at them.

"Are you here to end my life? or are you here to ask about my secrets?" Udi Cooper first wandered back and forth between Draxier and Hanina, and finally settled on Hanina, "Your Majesty has sent you, presumably not intending to accept my allegiance. ”

"You don't seem surprised?" Drahir looked at the necromancer in front of him with interest, he had studied the undead legions for nearly a hundred years, and had never found out from any documents that necromancers would turn their backs on their ruler and choose allegiance to a living person.

"Nearly half a million living people have died because of me!" Udi Kubo's demonic whisper echoed with a terrifying echo, "just thinking about this number, even I can't help but be afraid... If there is a living king who is willing to accept my allegiance, he must be insane. ”

Hanina took over and said, "But you still haven't given up hope of living... It doesn't seem appropriate to say 'live' to you. ”

"Why? I don't think I'm dead, you can treat me like a normal person!" Udi Cooper's blue eyes met Hanina's, "we're just different in life forms, and since we exist, it means that the gods have acquiesced in our lives." ”

"Nearly half a million people have died because of you, and you say you are an ordinary person?" Hannina's eyes overflowed uncontrollably.

"It may be a terrifying number for you, but—" Udi Cooper's blue eyes rolled as she looked at Drahir, who was in a state of thought, "you should ask your elven friends what war had fewer casualties than this number in the chaotic ages of ancient times, before the continent of Alan was divided?"

Drahir frowned when he heard this, and Udi Kubo continued: "While you are complacent about the splendor of the empire's civilization, you don't know that tens of thousands of years ago someone built a civilization even more glorious than you..."

"Maybe. Drahir interrupted Udi Cooper, "But all civilizations have been destroyed in the wars you have waged, and you are going to continue the mistakes of the past?"

"It wasn't our intention to start a war, we just wanted to..."

"I'm not at all interested in what you believe in or what you want to do. Drahir decisively interrupted Udi Cooper's demagogy, "Don't use words to confuse me, my faith is not something that a rookie necromancer like you can subvert." He slowly leaned forward to keep a stone's throw from Udi Cooper, leaned down to meet the strange blue eyes, and said:

"But what you just said is interesting to me... You just said you felt fear, can I think you have a complete and independent personality?"

"Are you wondering about this?" A smile appeared on Udi Cooper's pale face, perhaps trying to move his body to the point of activating the circle on the boulder, making it seem as if the entire boulder had been crushed and deformed by a large hand.

"Ahh

"Can you still feel the pain in your flesh?" said Drachir impatiently, "Don't pretend to be pitiful to me, I won't have mercy on the devil." ”

"You shouldn't talk nonsense with him. Baron Hannina stepped forward as well, her cold words and indifferent gaze seemed to lower the temperature of the dungeon, "I know you don't feel physical pain anymore, don't you like to play with your soul? Her gaze seemed to be more terrifying than that of Udi Cooper:

"If I add something else to your memory, would you agree?"

"I refuse!" Udi Cooper didn't look scared, "Whatever you want to ask, I'll answer you if I know it, but—" His gaze swept over Hannina and Draxier, "whose question do I answer first?"

"You haven't answered my question yet. Drahil stepped forward slightly to show his dominance.

Although Hanina felt that she should ask for information about the Undead Legion first, she remembered the identity of her current deputy, so she did not refute Draxiel's words, and she thought that as an elven general who had survived for hundreds of years, she would not ask irrelevant questions at such a time.

"I can't answer your doubts. Udi Cooper and Drahiel looked at each other, "Because I'm more confused than you are." ”

"Oh?"

"The oldest memory I have come from a necromancer 20,000 years ago. Udi Cooper seemed to be reminiscing, but the tone of his voice seemed to be telling someone else's story, "In twenty thousand years of memory, there has not been a banshee like Ferrora now... He couldn't find the words to describe it, and his pale face twisted for a while, and then he said:

"It's so emotional... Yes, she has a lot of feelings, and I can read from her projected soul memories that her complex thoughts are more complex than humans, but sometimes they are simple..."Udi Kubo's head shook violently outside the boulder, "I can't understand! I can't understand it!"

Delahir looked at Udi Cooper and asked, "Ferrora retains your ability to think for yourself?"

"Ability to think? Yes, I've always been able to think on my feet. Udi Cooper grew his mouth and said with an exaggerated expression, "Didn't you find out that I could call her by her first name? She didn't deprive us of our independent personality, she made us keep our complete memories of life, how long was my life? 20,000 years ago? or—" He suddenly fell into a cycle of thought.

Delahir's face grew more and more interested as he listened to Udi Kubo's words, and he didn't hesitate to smash it down with his fist with the power of nature as Udi Kubo fell into a cycle of thinking.

The confrontation between death and the forces of nature distorted Udi Kubo's pale face, and when the blue eyes fell on Drahir again, the elven general asked, "Your independent personality allows you to renounce your belief in the power of death?"

"Faith in death, why should I give up my faith in the power of death?" Udi Cooper's sloppy gaze became unusually firm for a moment, but then it began to fade again, and he muttered in a low hoarse voice: "When did I believe in the power of death? I am a nobleman of the Empire, and I believe in honor!"

"Your question has crushed his memory. Hanina spoke next to her: "The memory of a monster tens of thousands of years old, a memory of less than fifty years, he can maintain the status quo must have sealed some memories by himself... Don't ask such conflicting questions again, or he might go crazy. ”

"I've got the answers I need. Drahir looked at the glazed Udi Kubo and whispered, "I have one last question, and then he'll be yours." ”

As he spoke, Drahir's fist with the power of nature slammed into Udi Cooper's face again, and when the power of life and death converged, Udi Cooper was awakened by the pain that came from his soul.

"How many necromancers are there like you?" Drahir asked.
