lost a horseshoe nail, lost a horseshoe; lost a horseshoe and broke a warhorse; Broke a war horse and lost a king; Lost a king, lost a war; Lost a war, lost an empire.

This is the "horseshoe effect" often used in economics, which means that "a big event often starts with a small detail".

Bigbow, a frontier town, a secret stronghold.

"The new Necromantic King?"

After receiving the information from China, Oskol smiled bitterly: "I think I can apply for a vacation after completing this single task!" I'm afraid that the next step will be endless overtime. Being able to nurture a new Necromantic King is certainly due to Mr. Schroeder's skill, but it also shows that the new King has good qualifications and luck enough to be jealous of the heavens. What will Your Majesty do about it? If he makes a wrong move at this juncture, he will lose even more ugly than the bald eagle. ”

Then Oskol smiled chic again: "Hehe, why should the contemptible person worry about His Majesty? Your Majesty has Your Majesty's work, and contemptible people also have contemptible work, so let's talk less and do more things in the future. ”

"Dad, you're back, I miss you so much."

Looking at that necromantic creature, Qingyi's heart hurt so much that it was about to rot. He opened his mouth, but he still said, "Dad misses you too." "He didn't know what he was going to do next. Is it to go up and hug Suo'er? But she didn't seem to need a hug at all...... Continue to say some words of relief? Do others still say less about those words?

After a while, Su'er asked:

"Rudy isn't coming back, is he?"

"Yes. He was given an eternal rest. ”

Even if it is a necromantic creature, there will be a day when it will be completely annihilated. It is true that dissipated necromantic creatures can reappear as lost spirits, but only as a murky, selfless thing. Qingyi believes that what Suo'er wants is not that kind of Rudy, but Rudy who will be ugly when she sees her.

What made Qingyi even more heartbroken was that Suo'er did not show a disappointed look after hearing this answer. He wanted to divert his daughter's attention and said, "He did his best, he protected the Twilight Empire. I'm grateful to him. ”

Su'er was unmoved.

At that moment, the Soul Fire Demon appeared in the room with a whizz, and the excitement was whirling. Several soul fires floated up, forming a light screen, on which the gate of the underworld appeared. Out of the door came a row of confused soul shadows, and a silver-haired boy surrounded by them. The camera was too far away to see the young man's appearance clearly, only to see a lock of hair on his forehead.

Suo'er was completely stunned, and so was Qingyi.

In the next moment, Qingyi picked up Suo'er and quickly left the palace. There were already skyweb spiders waiting outside the palace, and without a second of delay, the father and daughter rushed to the Wandering Spirit Square. But halfway through, Qingyi's face was not good-looking. Through the [Soul Force Field], he found that although the young man had the same aura as Rudy, he was by no means the same person. The wavelengths of the souls of necromantic creatures have their own characteristics, just like the fingerprints of humans, and the wavelengths of those who come do not match Rudy's.

Under the World Tree, the silver-haired boy walking in front of the confused soul shadow suddenly stopped and looked at the skyweb spider running towards him with a smile. Waiting for Qingyi to jump to the ground, the young man saluted: "Dear Your Majesty June Sunshine, I am an envoy from the underworld, named Rudy. ”

"Rudy, you, are you still alive? No, you're resurrected? Su'er pursed her lips, radiant from the inside out. She couldn't help herself repeating herself, "Great, great, great......"

The young man in front of him was the same height and appearance as before, except that his clothes were changed into a black aristocratic dress, with a silk scarf on his chest, gold buttons on his cuffs, and white gloves on his hands. He looked at Suo'er with a smile in his eyes, gentle and elegant: "This must be Princess Suo'er, and it is really as beautiful as the rumors describe." ”

Su'er's smile became stiff, and the light that had been on just now faded.

With three points of apology, Rudy said to Qingyi again: "Your Majesty June Sunshine, this attack on the Holy See happened too quickly, and we really didn't expect it. My father asked me to bring ten Confused Soul Shadows of quasi-heroic strength to improve the defense of the 'City of Waiting'. Sadly, however, due to some well-known accidents, our marriage with your country has been put on hold for a while, after all, my brothers seem to have no intention of marrying them. Of course, this does not hinder our friendship. ”

Qingyi nodded numbly.

Rudy:??? level, the king of the dead. He is the youngest son of Hades. His father retrieved the soul fragments and shaped him. Not long after his birth, he was sent to the world as an ambassador. Compared to the previous owner of the name, it is more sensible and polite. Good skills are【???? 】、【？？？？ 】、【？？？？ 】、【？？？？ 】。 It will not be actively attacked by undead creatures below the elite level; Within 300 meters centered on you, the attack power of the creatures of the underworld is increased by 10%.

From the attributes, Rudy is really not the original Rudy. Soul fragments can be recovered, but the spirit imprint is lost forever and ever, never to be recovered. Qingyi understands this, but he is afraid that Suo'er still doesn't understand.

Su'er smiled again and stretched out her right hand: "I'm sorry, it was too rude just now." It's been a pleasure to know you. ”

"I'm also very honored." Rudy kissed the back of the princess's hand.

Suo Er Yingying withdrew her little hand and smiled at Qingyi: "Father, I'll go back first." She lifted the hem of her skirt, curtsied gracefully, and turned away.

After greeting Rudy for a while, Qingyi wanted to rush back to talk to Suo'er, but who knew that he was intercepted by a red-skinned little devil halfway. He had heard Brian mention the little devil, and for the sake of the overall situation, he put aside the matter of Su'er and talked to him patiently.

Simon:??? level, demon. I don't know what "respect" means at all, and his fighting style is extremely obscene and lowly, and talking about chivalry with him can only be fruitless. Don't be fooled by his appearance, he never had bad intentions. Maybe it's because I've lived in hell for too long, and I prefer to eat something that tastes light. Good skills are【???? 】、【？？？？ 】、【？？？？ 】、【？？？？ 】。 Fire damage and Darkness damage taken are halved, and Hallowed damage is doubled. Staying in one place for too long will cause the crime rate in that area to increase steadily, decreasing Hearts by 1 per day (Necronomicon realms are exempt from this modality).

"Haha, I didn't expect the White Bone Tyrant to look so sissy!" Simon was extremely happy to state his first impression. The shorts he wore were made for him by Chief Jont. He saw that Qingyi's face was wrong, and hurriedly laughed to cover it up: "Just kidding!" In human terms, you're a little white face! ”

"I know, demons don't have any 'aesthetics' to speak of, but 'little white face' is not a compliment." Qingyi didn't mind.

"My lord Satan is willing to form an alliance with your country and open the demon pact to your country. In the same way, I hope we will be allowed to be stationed here. ”

"No problem, I'll send someone to talk to you about the details."

Sending off the little demon, Qingyi continued to rush forward and returned to the gate of the palace. At this time, Jont, who had been waiting for a long time, handed over a report. Qing Yi glanced at the paper and had to slow down, because it was a special report related to the new Life and Death Spirit King, and it was something that only he could read.

Because Sam Montgomery was appointed as the corpse procurer, the country will be mixed with spies; Because the country is mixed with spies, the important production machinery of the abomination factory is destroyed; Because the vital machinery of production was destroyed, it was impossible to produce pure white abominations, only ordinary abominations; Because it can only produce ordinary hatred, there is a sudden onset of mental imprint conflict disorder with ordinary hatred; Because of the sudden onset of hatred, the factory of hatred and even the entire city were destroyed...... Eventually, the abomination, known as 4409, became the new Necromantic King. There are a lot of small probability events interspersed with it, if the blood elves took over the smuggled corpses, if Sam was not in a hurry and willing to examine the corpses, if Fermat offered to examine the corpses, if the important production props were not placed in the third workshop, if 4409 did not have [Devour] and [Soul Killing], if Jack of the Thousand Colored Flowers did not attack the scientific research center......

Qingyi must admit that he has heard so many YY novels from Qian Wuyi, and none of the protagonists can be luckier than this 4409. If the same probability is placed on the lotto, 4409 can already be won several times in a row. Ah yes, you can't call it 4409 anymore, because the other side has made a sign - Pythagoras, the festering dictator.

The small probability event exists objectively, so Qingyi was only a little surprised, and did not react too radically. However, in the attached leaflet, the investigative report submitted by Brian, it is pointed out that there are traces of human manipulation in this small probability event. Pythagoras could not have become the Necromantic King in a day by his own efforts.

What is the Necromantic King? It is the superior of countless necromantic creatures in King's Landing, and it is fundamentally different from ordinary necromantic creatures, and aside from other things, the fact that it can devour souls without being affected by the spirit imprint ensures that the king has no upper limit of strength. The Necromantic King continues to grow stronger, but the people can't follow suit.

There are two ways for ordinary necromantic creatures to become kings, one is to directly obtain the "will of the necromantic king", and the other is to accumulate strength and carefully study the law, and finally quantitative change causes qualitative change. To ascend to the throne by devouring others like Pythagoras, there must first be a large base, and according to Brian, at least all the people of the Twilight Empire must be consumed. And it is not enough to just swallow and not digest, because the power obtained by taking it is not strong after all, and it needs to be well synchronized with the soul, which takes a lot of time. If the base is not up to standard and the time is not right, Pythagoras can only make waves for a while, and it is impossible to become a king.

So, someone had to help Pythagoras. Combined with the incident of "Jack of a Thousand Colored Flowers attacking the scientific research center", the identity of the person behind the scenes has been revealed.
