Chapter 0078 Lies and Truth

At night, in a luxurious room at the Wenli Hotel.

Li Xun sat quietly at the table, flipping through the information he had just arrived, and the undead invasion that swept the Morohod Kingdom two years ago gradually unfolded in front of him.

I have to say that the intelligence system of these thieves is really professional. Much of the information they obtain is not through direct means, but from the periphery, just as the detailed number of troops can be obtained from the military commander, and the most clear should be the cooks accompanying the army. For a mage organization like the Council of the Dead, which has existed for a long time, has a tight system, and has a unified faith, it is almost impossible to find out something from it, but from the traces of their various actions, they can still get the information they want.

The fall of Moroorhead was an elaborate plan by the Council of the Dead. The strategy of the United Council of the Dead is also very simple, playing the game of boiling frogs in warm water.

The first is to create an undead invasion in some border villages in the eastern part of the Mojord Kingdom, which is small in scale but has a lot of fire, and for a time the local garrison is exhausted. In this way, they fished out the two major knights of the kingdom, and after introducing them to the Jedi, they carried out a fierce battle, and the two major knights of the kingdom were completely wiped out, and the local garrison suffered heavy losses. The Council of the Dead was also ruthless enough, and only sent some low-level and mid-level necromancers in this battle, and created the illusion that the necromancers were also badly damaged, so the Royal Mage Order of Moroorhead and the elite knights stationed in the national capital were also lured out.

In the eyes of the royal family of Moroorhead, the country is nothing more than a group of ownerless necromancers who are wandering around, who would have thought that a man-eating giant crocodile is crawling nearby and preparing to pounce on a full meal. The only legendary mage of the Mojoll royal family, who can make the Council of the Dead have any scruples, has also been successfully separated this time, and one of the remaining national capitals has led the royal mage group to attack.

The ignorance of the enemy led to an inevitable rout. The elite of the Mojoll Kingdom was wiped out, and the level 21 legendary mage who led the team was trapped and killed by the level 25 Shane VII and the level 21 lich Valakis, and few of the royal mages of the kingdom could escape. Before the royal family of the kingdom who received the "true news" of the enemy could ask for help from the outside world, the three legendary lichs who had already infiltrated the national capital carried out a well-prepared blood sacrifice that night, and joined forces to inspire the undead natural disaster covering a radius of 200 miles, forcibly transforming 700,000 people near the national capital into undead creatures, and only those with magical protection escaped this desecration ritual. Legendary mage Trow failed to break through the defensive barrier set up by the three legendary lichs before the ritual was completed, sabotaging the blood sacrifice ritual, and was later severely injured by the two lichs who arrived and barely escaped from the place of death.

It was night, and there were only a handful of people who could escape from the capital. Prince Hansen Bremila and Princess Hylis Bremila of the kingdom were not in the capital at the time, and they survived.

According to the Thieves' Guild intelligence, before the Skeleton launched the Undead Plague, there was already a lot of rumors in the national capital, and there were many news of missing people, but it did not attract enough attention from the king. The affairs at the border had already made him anxious, so he just handed over the investigation to the city guard to deal with. Judging from the analysis of the past and the future, this city guard is full of suspicions, and it is likely that it has been controlled by the legendary lich. The emptiness of the garrison of the national capital brought great convenience to the three legendary lichs, who were able to calmly prepare a large-scale blood sacrifice.

The Thieves' Guild's intelligence also points out the three fulcrums that are most likely to support the operation of the Undead Scourge, and picks out some of the incomprehensions. The last piece of information sent by the Thieves' Guild's branch in the national capital just 3 hours before the Scourge of the Dead shocked that the royal palace might be the final blood sacrifice location.

Why is the palace the final place of the blood sacrifice?

The palace has always been the most heavily guarded place, where the difficulty of blood sacrifice will be ten times more than a hundred times more than that of other places, why did the bone framers choose such a place? Is it self-esteem or is the location quirky?

Li Xun sneered a few times, and a look of sarcasm appeared on his delicate face. originally thought that he was spreading rumors and smearing the other party, but judging from the intelligence, the Council of the Undead really did something behind the scenes! The Council of the Undead wouldn't really have secretly opened the passage to the world of the undead as it had slandered, right?

Could it be that the rumors I made casually should be one with the truth!

Throwing away the parchment, Li Xun stood up and paced slowly around the room, thinking about how to hook up with Tello, the legendary mage behind Cilis.

In the following month, Li Xun was always in a hurry. He did not rush to the town hall to demarcate his territory, but first visited his old friend Sir Hanwick near Naya City, and negotiated an agreement to change the territory through a secret conversation. Li Xun took the initiative to hand over the power to choose the territory to Sir Hanwick, and Sir Li Xun would exchange the same size of land near Big Rock Village, the closest to the Whispering Forest, to Master Li Xun.

Sir Hanwick was also excited about being able to exchange a remote village for a re-selection of land, and repeatedly offered to compensate the mage for his losses, but the mage refused. The mage completed the exchange on the grounds that he liked the tranquility and took a fancy to the monster resources in the Whispering Forest.

After running back and forth between Pierbon City and Naya City, the deal was finally completed after a month and a half, and Li Xun naturally became the lord within a radius of 50 miles centered on Dayan Village. Taking control of Big Rock Village also sealed the closest human settlement to Eternal Night City, reducing the danger of Eternal Night City leaking.

……

In the early morning, before the sun leaked out of the horizon and smiling faces, the village chief of Dayan Village had already led some prestigious villagers to wait at the entrance of the village.

Yesterday the heralds of the old lord Sir Hanwick brought incredible news that they had a new lord.

A Mage Lord!

The transformation of the lord is a distant thing for these farmers who deal with the land all day long, but now it is a mage lord who is coming! I heard that it was the magical mage who helped the old lord to exterminate the thieves last time.

With a nervous mood, the middle-aged village chief Moke kept looking at the dirt road outside the village.

Ham, the only blacksmith in the village, raised his voice, "What are you afraid of, Mock?" Isn't it just a new lord! The previous lord, Sir Hanwick, has ruled here for twenty years, but how many times has he been here? If it weren't for those damn bandits, he probably wouldn't have entered our Big Rock Village for the rest of his life. The mage master has just gotten the land, and he will definitely come to take a look, and then he will hide in the city and enjoy the happiness with the noble lords. Life is not the same as before, what are you worried about! ”

This statement was unanimously agreed by others, who nodded yes, and then began to secretly talk about the magic of the mage.

Mork stared back at the crowd and shouted, "Shut up. If you want to talk and go home, the lord will come in a while, give me some rules! Seeing that the voice faded away, and everyone stood up again, he turned back with satisfaction.

"Coming, coming......"

The crowd let out a few short screams, and the village chief of Mok was shaken and stood on his tiptoes to look into the distance. Breaking through the early morning mist, escorted by several cavalrymen, a carriage was slowly approaching.

The carriage came to a halt in front of the crowd, and a young mage emerged from the carriage. The mage's robe, which was as dark as the night sky, was decorated with gold and silver magic patterns, and there was a faint flash of spiritual light from time to time as he walked; The young and immature face and facial features are also upright, and the most impressive thing is the pair of black pupils, and anyone who is stared at by it has a slight burning sensation and cannot look directly.

Village Chief Moke stepped forward and bowed down and said, "I've seen the master, the small one is the village chief of this big rock village, please rest in the village." ”

The short stay of Li Xun's gaze made the village chief break out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, he quickly moved away.

"There's no need to do any welcome ceremony, let the villagers disperse! Tell us about it. ”

In the humble hall of the village, Li Xun, who was sitting in the main seat, began to listen to the village chief's briefing. Although a similar situation is already known to Sir Hanwick, it is always much more detailed and accurate to walk around the field and listen to the person involved.

According to the people in the village, Li Xun's left ear goes in and out of the right ear, and his energy is mainly focused on the surrounding environment. There were sixty or seventy people in the village, mostly farmers, but also a blacksmith and a few hunters, who were caught by the thieves because of the ravages of the bandits a few years ago, and the way into the mountains was sealed, and those hunters were also caught by the thieves. Later, the bandits were exterminated, but there was another problem in the forest. Villagers who go into the mountains to cut down trees and hunt will always fall into an inexplicable fog, and those who are unlucky will lose their lives directly, and those who are lucky enough to come out will be so frightened that they will never dare to enter the forest again.

After half a year of exploration, the villagers found that as long as they entered the forest for no more than 10 miles, there would be no accidents, but once they strayed deeper into the forest, they would not be able to save their lives. Therefore, the villagers only dared to cut down some trees at the edge of the woodland and go home to make a fire, and no one dared to go to the depths. The situation was reported to Sir Hanwick, and the lord had hired several mercenaries to check on him, but he never returned, and no one ever bothered again.

Li Xun listened quietly, nodding his head from time to time to continue, until the village chief finished speaking, and then said: "There is no need to worry about these things, I plan to build a tower nearby as my residence in the near future, and I will find a chance to see if there are any fierce beasts in the forest." ”

"Mage Tower? Sir, are you planning to stay here for a long time? ”

Li Xun didn't intend to explain the difference between the Mage Tower and the Mage Tower with an old farmer in the countryside, but calmly ordered: "I will stay here for a short time, and after I demarcate the range, you tell the villagers not to disturb me." ”

Mock was shocked and hesitated.

"You can take me around the neighborhood now, I need a relatively wide and flat plateau, with a radius of two or three hundred meters."

Village Chief Mok hurriedly went out to make arrangements. After a cup of tea, accompanied by several cavalrymen, Li Xun and Mo Ke headed to a high ground somewhere outside the village.
