Bigbowo, capital, royal palace.

The king stared at the lamp, thoughtful, and did not even know that it was cold at night.

The current international situation is abruptly tense. The Gloomy Singer, such an obscure necromantic hero, clashed with the Holy See and went to war in the capital of Astante, resulting in the destruction of human lives. The battle, which took place after the funeral mold disaster, once again aroused the fear of the people. As soon as the international situation is tense, prices skyrocket (especially in Astant), keeping the price of armaments high.

But this is not worth the king's thoughts. His vision is high, and these little chaos will be left behind by him in the blink of an eye. What really caught his attention was the latest letter from Seru Vega.

"Neighbor:"

"That's all for the foreshadowing, and you're responsible for the rest!"

"You're sincere, Gareth"

The king picked up a bell and shook it, summoning not the royal governor, but a strong man wrapped in a black cloth—his head of intelligence, one of the five men he trusted most.

"Seru Vega is out of the army?"

"Yes." The Minister of Intelligence did not say a word, so as not to affect the judgment of the monarch.

The king asked another question that did not match the previous sentence: "How long will it take for the cargo ships of the Dusk Empire to arrive?" ”

"It is expected to be no more than ten days."

"This mess in Astante came at the right time." The king said something inexplicable, waved his hand, and let his men go.

————————————————————————————————————

After going online, Qingyi immediately received a system prompt: The younger brother Underworld and his new subordinate Diesel have returned. Because Diesel was not suitable for adaptation and could not be a spy, Qingyi simply let the Underworld create an illusion, making the Dark Church mistakenly believe that Diesel was dead. After a great kill, the Underworld carried Diesel back to the Dusk Empire, and there was no danger along the way.

The underworld still looks like a dusty man, and his eyes are very clear, without a trace of tiredness. It's no wonder, because it's a necromantic creature that doesn't know how to get tired. As soon as he saw Qingyi, he grinned: "Don't disgrace the mission, don't disgrace the mission." ”

"What kind of cultural person do you learn!" Qingyi scolded with a smile.

On the other hand, Diesel's face was yellow, his eyes were deep, and his body was so weak that he was about to fall when the wind blew, and he was still as haggard as last time, which made Qingyi feel distressed. Qingyi asked him to rest, but he seemed to be used to high-intensity work for a long time, and said, "Your Majesty, please assign me work immediately." I'm a newcomer, and I can't have privileges and put on a show. ”

You really take care of other people's emotions, but necromantic creatures don't know how to be jealous. Qingyi thought to herself, and took Diesel to the Joint Research Center and introduced him to Brian.

Special Effects: Diesel delves deeply into the soul and spirit. When casting, the "Soul Gem" is equivalent to the Soul Fire and is also equivalent to the Soul. When Soul Magic is activated, Diesel is exempt from the effects and damage of that magic, and the enemy's Soul Magic is reduced by 10%.

【Soul Mastery】Diesel is a master of soul delving. Gain a 10% bonus to soul magic. There is a 10% bonus to the maximum soul value and recovery speed.

With these two items alone, Diesel was no worse than the necromantic creatures, so he took over the position of head of the soul research group with dignity. As a result, various product development plans based on the principles of soul science were immediately placed in front of him. He flipped through it a few times, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "[Double Soul]? [Soul parasitism]? These skills have never been seen before, and even soul mages have never explored these realms! ”

Just a few small inventions were praised, and Qingyi couldn't stop laughing. The Joint Scientific Research Center adopts the method of "thought storming", so that various reasonable or nonsensical ideas collide, and over time, there will naturally be flashpoints that surpass their predecessors; Thinking about the essence of the soul from the perspective of a necromantic creature creates a soul magic that is of course very different from the magic system of a soul mage.

"Let's start with the [Double Soul]."

Insert a "Soul Gem" into the skeleton soldier's body, wait until the skeleton soldier dissipates, and then ignite the "soul gem" with the soul wavelength when it dissipates, so that the skeleton soldier has a second life. However, the "soul gem" is pure and immaculate, without a single spiritual imprint, and after ignition, the skeleton soldiers have no fighting instinct, and will only stand stupidly in place. Scowl allocated the most money to this invention, but it was also the most inexpensive and the least likely to be used in real combat.

Diesel reached out and summoned a soul fire that functioned as a wall lamp, and pinched it into a gem. He pointed to the flaws in the gem and said, "Your Majesty, not every 'soul gem' is pure enough to meet the standard. My purification method is different from yours, and it is the original condensation of everything that comes with the soul fire. These little black dots are dead air, and the little red dots are resentment. Once the resentment is expelled and condensed alone, it will form a very light and strong substance. ”

"I know, 'Bloody Bones.'" Qingyi smiled. His elder brother Jiang Huahuo is the best at producing this, and there is no place to put it, so he uses it to build a bloodbone fleet.

Brian said, "Indeed, we also tried to preserve the memory of the Soul Fire, and then found that the skeleton soldiers who were reborn for the second time will be at a loss for a while, and they will be easily knocked down. This still cannot be put into battle. ”

Dazed? It makes sense. A person who dies, is resurrected, and finds that his body is different, of course, will be at a loss. But where is the time on the battlefield for him to think about life? Therefore, the "Soul Gem" used for [Double Soul] cannot have memories. But once the mental imprint is washed away, the skeleton soldier lacks the attacking instinct, so it still has to have a spiritual imprint. This is clearly a paradox.

Diesel nodded: "I see." He put a lot of pressure on his hands, and a lot of red and black dust fell from his fingers. When he opened his hand again, a much smaller diamond appeared, reflecting eight hearts and arrows. This is the purest "soul gem", the hardness can be comparable to that of a real diamond, the degree of escape of its spirit is very small, a treasure diamond can be passed down for 200 years, much longer than the life of a pearl.

Then, Diesel muttered to himself, and tiny wisps of red light flowed from his fingertips and burrowed into the diamond, arranging them in a graceful, delicate pattern, as if enchanting it. No, this is definitely enchanting, very similar to the effect of [Necromantic Enchantment]! After the pattern was formed, the diamond could no longer be hearted and arrowed, and it refracted into the light and shadow of the wall, with an ingenious array of runes. Writing nearly a thousand runes on a diamond the size of a chestnut is a craft that even a master of miniature carving can hardly boast of!

【Soul Essay】Diesel can enter a fabricated memory into the soul, or tamper with the memory, and can even generate a virtual personality for the blank soul. Consume a "Soul Gem" to summon a Ghost with 1-2 low-level Soul Magic.

There is no need to summon ghosts, this ability to create false memories alone solves the [Double Soul] that has plagued the Soul Research Group for a long time!

"Is that okay?" Diesel was not very confident and asked Brian.

Brian turned his face: "Your Majesty, you have another treasure." ”

Qingyi was also happy, and hurriedly urged after the fun: "Quickly test it and see the results!" ”

It turned out that the second soul of the skeleton soldier has not only a personality, but also knows how to [imitate the show], even if he lacks the ability to think, as long as he imitates others to chop, it is enough. The next step is to lower the standard of craftsmanship appropriately, after all, it is only Diesel who carves dense runes on the diamond, and he can't be asked to install a diamond for every soldier, it will really tire him out.

When one problem is solved, another problem is replaced.

The Soul Research Group has swapped ghosts, skeletons, and zombies to create a large machine, the "Battlefield Conversion Device". It can allow a large number of ghosts to enter the corpse, [soul parasitism]; It can also make skeletons and zombies that are on the verge of dissipation take off their bodies and immediately retreat to the base camp in the form of ghosts, so that they can recuperate. This invention can reduce the death rate of soldiers, and there is a certain application prospect. However, the high maintenance cost and the long installation and dismantling procedures make it impossible to promote it in the army.

"Here's how this thing works......" Diesel asked, looking at the strange-looking machine in front of him, which was more than five meters tall. It is like a radar, with a large curved plate, an antenna in the center of the board, and a hinge at the base, where the wounded soldiers can escape back. Although it has something to do with the soul, the soul mage doesn't know much about machines, so he naturally asks this question.

"It's to ghostize the soul fire, or turn the ghost into the soul fire." Brian replied.

The answer was concise and to the point, but Diesel was clear: "Like my soul talent, it's just that I need to turn soul fire and ghosts into 'soul gems'." It's amazing, this ability is the only one I have in the Dark Church, I didn't expect it to be made in batches. What are the conditions to launch it? ”

"A large amount of soul energy, the high-grade fuel is the 'Spirit Child Energy Rod', and the second-level fuel is the 'Soul Gem'."

"If you are powered by soul energy, you are essentially no different from a necromantic creature."

Brian is also a smart person, and when he heard this, he smiled heartily: "Directly transform the necromantic creatures so that they have the ability of 'battlefield conversion devices'?" If this method works, it does not need to be maintained, loaded and unloaded, and it also has its own mobility, which greatly reduces costs! ”

"But this necromantic creature must also be mentally imprinted by me, and if it doesn't obey orders, we will be the ones who suffer." When Diesel talked about the topic he was good at, he talked eloquently, somewhat mental: "Also, how about setting the transformation ability to the soul force field ability of the necromantic creature?" It can advance with the army and support the soldiers anytime and anywhere. ”

"The larger the soul field, the more soldiers will benefit. That said, the soul fire of the necromantic creature must be strong enough! We're going to focus on cultivating high-level necromantic creatures, and then we'll make them—" said happily as Brian suddenly froze, and the soul fire dimmed.

Qingyi asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Brian shook his head: "High-level necromantic creatures all have their own personalities, and if they were erased, they would disappear completely. ”

"Although this is the case, isn't it worth it to exchange it for a powerful tactical weapon?" Qingyi smiled.

"Maybe. By the way, I have a job to finish, so you two can continue to talk. ”

Waiting for Brian to leave, Diesel whispered to Qingyi: "Your Majesty, what you just said hurt Lord Brian's heart. He is a high-level necromantic creature himself, in other words, he can be sacrificed by you. ”

"Inexplicably, how could I sacrifice him!" Qingyi couldn't cry or laugh.

Diesel also couldn't cry or laugh: "I just think it's inexplicable, the necromantic creatures actually know how to sympathize with the disease." ”

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared beside Qingyi and grabbed his shoulder. Rao is Qingyi has good concentration, and he was also frightened, [Black Blade Gyration]. As soon as the black streamers were stretched out, they broke one after another, and the one who came only waved his hand. Qingyi saw that it was the gossip sect leader, so he smiled and said, "It's you?" No wonder my [Soul Force Field] didn't react. Why didn't I see you speaking on the post? You're the gossip guy. ”

The gossip sect leader rolled his eyes: "I want to too, I'm too busy to take a break!" Do you know that there is another war! ”

"War? Which side against which? Qingyi immediately wanted to see the excitement.

"Nonsense, you use your brain, I'm so busy jumping up and down that I made a special trip to tell you, which side do you say is right on which side?!"

Qingyi thought about it carefully, and his face changed.
