Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: Horse Bones

Dolu Davis, west of the city, coffin shop.

The sound of magic roaring, the clashing of weapons, and the sound of shouting and scolding kept coming from outside the door, and it was clear that it was not peaceful outside. In contrast to the noisy and noisy external environment, the coffin shop is particularly quiet. Several people in the room were calm, as if they were not disturbed by the noise at all.

"It seems that His Majesty's plan has succeeded." Oscol was liberated from the human body, floating in the air, smiling very charmingly. He bowed gracefully and impeccably, to Perles: "Then the contemptible will go to Astant, and please greet your majesty on behalf of the contemptible man." ”

"Have a nice trip." Perls smiled and watched as he left.

"What do we do next?" Sam Montgomery, who was on the side, hurried up and asked. His eyes sparkled, and his smile was full of excitement and excitement that he had not intended to hide.

"I can feel the breath of Miko-sama, the most vile and filled with the most original sin. Let's go out first. Pelce Road. Six clergy members of the Cult of Twilight opened the door for him and followed. As soon as they opened the door, they saw several skeletons staggering up from the cemetery, which had no coffins and were hastily buried; The one with the coffin was trapped underground, unable to get out for a while. Therefore, the sound of cats' paws scratching the walls came from the cemetery, wave after wave, and it was clearly audible.

As Sam walked out of the coffin with the child (and the dog on the puppy) out of the coffin, he was taken aback by the battle. He immediately ducked behind Pers: "They won't hurt me, will they?" ”

"Of course not. You are a half-undead creature, your own person. By the nature of necromantic creatures, they don't commit any crimes. Pelce Road. When the necromantic creatures saw this group, they all knelt on the side of the road as a sign of respect.

Sam relaxed, smiled, and became more relaxed again, and his voice became much louder, as if he was only allowed to speak loudest: "Great, I like this nature!" Those who are inferior should obey those who are superior, and those who are superior like me areβ€”but, of course, I would love to see His Majesty and be loyal to him. Heard he's an adventurer? It is hard to believe that the average adventurer would never have the crazy idea of 'declaring war on a sovereign state'. Ah, it's good to be a necromantic creature, and you can say what you don't normally dare to say. ”

"He's an exceptional person, so he can do anything crazy. He was terrible, ruthless, unscrupulous, and yet he was the closest thing to a god in my eyes. Pers couldn't help but smile as he said this. He pointed into the distance: "You've already mastered the communication of soul wavelengths, right?" Feel the soul of Miko-sama with your soul, and you will be able to find him according to the wavelength. ”

"I'll try." Sam's smile stiffened. His face turned blue, making his smile ugly: "It's terrifying, the range of this soul force field ...... No wonder he can become the emperor of the immortals! Well, Perles, where are you going? Why don't you see Your Majesty with me?! ”

"I'm going to find someone. I'll have four escorts take you there. At the moment, it seems that His Majesty has not yet completely mastered the city, so don't"

Pers took two clergymen with him, and walked and walked casually. As far as he could see, people were in disarray. Some people are desperate, some are angry, some are sad, and some are crazy. In the shadow of death, it is difficult for humans to maintain their sanity; In the whole noisy street, only the three Pers are particularly different, because they have no joy or sorrow. Therefore, everyone involuntarily turned their eyes to Perls.

Looking at those eyes full of pain, Perce couldn't help but sigh. He stood in the middle of the street, holding the bronze canon in his right hand, raised his left hand, and shouted, "You lost ones! I am a messenger sent by the God of Souls, and I can deliver you! and those who believe in our Lord will be safe. ”

The dusk monk behind him whispered, "Your Excellency is so clever, use this opportunity to attract believers!" The Twilight Swordsman nodded his head in agreement.

A mother with a baby in her arms fell to her knees crying and reached for Pers's robe: "Sir! You can see that you are a very powerful person, please save my child! I am willing to believe in the God of Souls! Please! ”

The others gathered around Perles, making all sorts of requests (but for the most part, trying to live). They are both scared and hopeful. Perls compassionately pressed his hand to their chests and transformed their souls into flames, leaving their spirits and flesh no longer bound together. The people who got the new life hugged each other and cried, not caring that the other person was a stranger.

"My lord, there are so many people, I'm afraid you can't be busy transforming one by one." The monk at dusk on the side was puzzled: "Lord Shenzi will slaughter the city after he occupies it, and your transformation speed cannot keep up with his killing speed." Or, forget it? ”

When they heard this, those who had not yet been converted panicked, and cried out and reached for Pers as if they were crazy. The two clergymen are elites in a hundred, but with their abilities, they can hardly stop these life professionals, and a few blood marks have been cut out on their faces. Perls shouted, shocking the reckless crowd: "Stop! Follow me, O converted, lead and protect those who need rescue. I promise that whoever believes in My Lord will live! Go now, preach the doctrine, go and sow the light! ”

Strange to say, the people believed him in their entirety, and gradually lined up and followed him quietly; Perhaps human beings have the urge to grasp at the last straw, even if they know that it is an unrealistic fantasy. In this way, Perls was finally able to break free from the entanglement of the believers and move on. Everywhere he went, a large number of people joined the procession and followed him.

Then he stopped. People who don't know why also stop.

Perls saw a male corpse on the side of the street. The man had a square face, and although he was wearing shabby clothes, he could also tell that it was Viscount Carl. His death was horrific, with bulging eyes, dark blue lips, and traces of dry foam on his lips, apparently from poisoning. Perls approached Karl without saying a word.

"Do you want to resurrect him?" The dusk monk asked.

Perls shook his head, "No. Burn him. With that, he walked on with heavy steps.

Looking down from the wall, sludge and puddles begin to accumulate on the ground, plants grow unchecked, and all scenery slowly transforms into a wetland of corpses. It is conceivable that this large territory will once again be home to a large number of wandering ghouls. Looking at the fields full of twisted greenery, Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to occupy a country, but it's just the beginning, and there's a lot more, so much more to do, and Qingyi is so busy that he doesn't even have much time left to pretend to be pressing. The top priority is, of course, to slaughter all the original creatures of Orquilla. Necromantic creatures and living creatures basically had nothing to say, and Qingyi didn't intend to take hostages or anything, so slaughtering the city was the only option. This work is carried out by low-level necromantic beings, supervised by Frankie.

Qingyi believes in Frankie's ability to do things very much, so when Frankie ran up the wall, Qingyi was a little surprised: "What? ”

"Master, I met a group of people in prison who wanted to see you by name." Frankie bowed his head.

"Do you understand them?" Qingyi remembered the system announcement when he conquered the country: "Yes, the system only prohibits voice communication between living adventurers and necromantic adventurers, but you are not among them. What did they say? ”

"They say, they are nobles, how can they die in vain? They were willing to redeem their freedom with all their money and servants. ”

Qingyi smiled, and a smile made all humans shiver. His voice was like a sudden northwest wind, so cold that people's bone marrow shrunk into a ball: "Have their brains burned out?" I don't care if they're nobles or commoners, and I don't care if they're good or bad. Those identities and positions are completely useless to me. All of them are going to die. ”

He laughed and turned to look at his subordinates who were walking up the wall: "Pers, did you see that?!" There is at least one thing in this world where everyone is equal, and that is death! When the king and the beggar die, they are buried in the dirt and decayed, and no one is exempt!! ”

Perls smiled faintly and walked up to Qingyi: "You are right, Your Majesty." ”

"I haven't seen you in a long time, and my appearance hasn't changed much. I've heard that you want to convert all humans into followers of the Twilight Cult? Qingyi stopped laughing and asked.

Although Miko's voice was not heavy, Perth's face changed, and he immediately replied, "That's true. I'll personally perform a transformation ritual for those people, turning them all into half-dead creatures. ”

"It doesn't matter, the half-undead and the necro are one family. Speaking of which, I'm still worried that the Dusk Sect won't have enough manpower, so it would be nice to have more. You can transform as much as you want, but if there are those who resist desperately, I will not be relentless. ”

"Thank you for your leniency, Miko-sama." Perls bowed his head, very respectfully. He remembered something, and said, "Your Majesty, have you seen Sam Montgomery?" ”

"Ah, yes. I just signed a soul pact with him, before you came. I have appointed him as the steward of the Corpse Wetland, and he will exercise restraint over the cities run by the various adventurers. By the way, I'm going to give the city in the wetlands to adventurersβ€”"

"How can you give him a heavy responsibility?! He's a vile, dirty, ambitious man, and he has no credibility at all! For the first time, Pers interrupted Qingyi. His face was angry, and the kind of rigidity between his eyebrows was about to come out: "I hate the betrayer, and he betrayed his country without hesitation!" ”

Qingyi shook his head: "Sam is indeed as disgusting as you say. From my own point of view, I hate him too, but from a national point of view, I need him. ”

"But he didn't make any contributions, he just saw that there was a advantage to take advantage of, so he chose to join us! In fact, it was Oskul's work to stir up the situation within Olquila this time. You're very merciful if you don't kill Sam, how can you let him take charge of the corpse wetland?! ”

"Listen to me first, Perles." Qingyi smiled and signaled the other party to calm down: "I'll tell you a story." In ancient times, there was a king who liked horses very much, and when he heard that there was a horse with a divine steed in a certain place, he spent a lot of money to buy it, and who expected to buy back a pile of horse bones. The king was very angry and cried out, 'I want to buy a living horse, not a dead horse,' and the man who bought the horse replied: 'Your Majesty, if you can spend a lot of money on a dead horse, then worry that no one will sell you a live horse?' When the king heard this, he came to his senses and rewarded the buyer. Since then, people have offered him thousands of horses everywhere. ”

Perls listened, thoughtful.

Qingyi continued: "My goal is not just to be an Orquila, I want to win more countries, and we will definitely encounter more resistance in the process, and Sam Montgomery is the lubricant for tensions. The higher the position, the better the treatment, and the more power I give Sam, the more people in various countries will follow Sam's example. As soon as someone betrays his homeland, then the country is not far from extinction. ”

"I can understand what you're doing, but ...... If Sam can betray Olquila, he will definitely betray the Twilight Empire in the future, right?! He doesn't have any loyalty to you! Perls sighed, worried.

Qingyi shrugged: "Is there an eternal relationship in the world?" Whether it is a loved one, a lover or a friend, there is always a possibility that they will betray you. If you don't talk about others, you may betray me. Once I lose my identity as a 'Son of God', you will definitely turn your face. ”

Perls' eyes widened, and before he could refute, Qingyi smiled again: "I thought this was a dead end before, so I was also disheartened: there is no one in the world who will never betray, so what sense of security can there be?" But that's not the case. Relationships are not maintained by the efforts of one person, but by both parties; When you are loyal to others and let others continue to profit, others will not betray you. Haha, this statement is very utilitarian, but it is very much in line with the essence of things. The so-called 'goodness' is the only way to maintain a good relationship, and this is what I urgently need to learn. ”

As he was talking, Qingyi suddenly turned his head to look into the distance.

It was a monster about four meters tall and six meters long, and its whole body was as white as death. It fell on all fours, like a wild beast; But its skin was bare in the air, and it was not covered with any body hair, nor did it have a tail, so it was not known what kind of animal it was; It walked quite slowly, but each step made the ground dimp a deep paw print and sent a little chill to the ground. Patches of gray spread out behind it, as if they were unknown colonies. Slowly and persistently, it made its way towards the city walls, its two glowing red eyes like two murderous stars.

With a wild roar, Frankie, who was crouching on the side, fired an arrow from the wall as if it were an arrow, cutting a bloody streak in the air! Qingyi only had time to shout: "Don't go!" That's a super-level demonic beast!! ”
