Chapter 0803: The Great Conjecture of the Century
readx;?(This is today's third update, thank you again for being kind like water, quietly guarding you and a line of light three big red envelopes)
After some difficult haggling, the negotiations finally came to an end. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The result of the negotiations, of course, was completely tilted towards the Necropolis, which was actually expected by everyone.
After all, the whole transaction needs the cemetery to be implemented, and the key nodes also require the cemetery to put in extremely hard and arduous efforts, so simply drawing pies in the air will never be exchanged for the cemetery's sincere help.
To this end, the Legendary Lich will pay the Orb of the Dead Moon and the Sakohir's Seat to help the Necropolis deal with Kern, the Lord of Death. After the souls successfully return to the Fatebox, Sazastan also needs to semi-stealthily withdraw from the Lich Alliance and provide the Necropolis with real-time updates to the Council of the Dead.
All the Necropolis needs to do is find a way to destroy the puppet that Kern used to control the legendary lich.
In order to avoid the two sides from being suspicious of each other in the process of cooperation, Sazastan deliberately concluded the Styx Oath with Skeletron. Of course, Sazastan's original intention was to sign a contract with Li Xun, the ruler of the cemetery, but unfortunately due to the unanimous opposition of the cemetery's subordinates, he could only retreat and choose Skeletron.
Presumably, the cemetery is not willing to sacrifice a legendary combat power in its hands for the sake of mere benefits!
When the legendary lich finally got the result he wanted, he breathed a sigh of relief to extinguish this spiritual projection. And the Dead Moon Orb also really fell into Li Xun's hands.
After the Lich Projection completely disappeared, all the upper echelons of the Necropolis immediately began a heated discussion, discussing the possible traps that the Legendary Lich might preset, the possible means to deal with Kern, and all the high-end combat forces that the Necropolis could mobilize......
In particular, in response to some of the outward manifestations of Kern, the Lord of Death, described by the legendary lich, many dragon lich have offered advice, and one after another vicious and insidious schemes and calculations have been released, and the insidious calculations and vicious tricks contained in them are eye-catching.
All of these suggestions, suggestions, and doubts have been collected by the intelligent iron man Issa, and they are listed one by one in a coherent order. Presumably, if all of this is put into practice, Skeletron's probability of successfully defeating Kern will be a little higher by a point or two.
Unfortunately, even with these assurances, Skeletron's odds of winning against Kern are still pitiful.
And Li Xun, as the owner of the cemetery, didn't say a word, and let his subordinates express themselves to their heart's content, but he himself was a little wandering and didn't know what he was thinking.
When everyone thoroughly deduced everything that could be scrutinized and calculated, and said that there was nothing to say, the entire soul system finally quieted down. Everyone threw their spiritual power into the Lord of the Cemetery, waiting for his final decision.
The sudden silence in his soul also woke up the contemplative Li Xun. His body on the second floor of the Stratholme Magic Tower squirmed, and he changed into a comfortable position on the Throne of Bones, finally speaking out the doubts in his heart.
In the description of the legendary lich just now, there is a detail mentioned before. The dozen or so Saint-level undead who followed Kern, the Lord of Death, turned out to be Kern's followers, and were able to obtain a certain amount of high-level undead spells from Kern through prayer.
This is explained by Sazastan as a sign that Kern has the intention of becoming a god.
Although the undead world is already broken and can't support the high gods, it is still very possible to make a false god of the undead. After all, there are thousands of undead creatures in the undead realm, and it is relatively easy to gather some of the power of faith.
It's just that the world is broken, the rules are missing, and there is not much possibility at all if you want to smoothly condense the priesthood, comprehend the divinity, and ignite the divine fire. Not to mention the need to use a large amount of faith to transform one's own power into death divine power, which is almost an insurmountable threshold.
Think about it before, before the undead realm was ruined, there were also gods in the sky, and there were some powerful gods among them. However, when the origin of the plane is lost, the plane consciousness is weakened and dies, and the plane can no longer support the existence of the gods. So the kingdom of God fell, the Godhead was shattered, and Ragnarok ......
One by one, the gods who were once high above the heavens and regarded mortals as ants have lost their place of existence, but they are rejected by the plane, so they can only fall into a deep sleep helplessly. The perfect body of the ancient god relied on the partially broken fragments of the kingdom of the gods, and gradually slid into the depths of the infinite sea of stars, becoming a drifting "ruin". Without the support of the faith of a large number of believers, they will never wake up, eternally asleep in the depths of the sea of stars, and drift forever. Until you encounter a wanderer or a star beast in the sea of stars, you become the prey of these "thieves" and "gravediggers".
Therefore, in the realm of the undead, even the gods that already exist cannot protect themselves, so how can those who come after them succeed in becoming gods?
So Sazastan blames all this on Kern as a madman who delusionally pursues eternal existence in a dilapidated plane. And many of the staff of the cemetery did not really pay attention to this. After all, it was difficult for the Necropolis to take advantage of this to attack Kern, so it ignored it.
Even the many dragon lichs just now focused more on Kern's strength attributes, combat methods, portable treasures and magical equipment, and what powerful skills they had mastered. After all, knowing this, he can strengthen Skeletron's body and equipment in a targeted manner, giving him a few more chances of winning.
But Li Xun's way of thinking is more alternative and focuses more on his own intuition.
He felt that this piece of information was far more important and deadly than any other piece of information!
Moreover, although he only peeked at the Death Lord Kern from a distance today, he always had an inexplicable feeling of familiarity in his heart.
It seems like......
It was as if he had been exposed to this power.
Li Xun hugged his head in distress and thought, shouldn't he ignore such important information? How could an undead king come into contact with him a long time ago?
Unless when it comes into contact with Li Xun, it doesn't use the form of the Undead King!
Vultures, Li Xun's tall figure stood up from the throne of white bones.
He remembered.
This force was indeed familiar to him, as he had detected and sensed it at close range. At that time, the form of display of the opponent's power was also so different, it was completely a means similar to the gods' harvest of faith, faith.
"Let's go, come with me. I'll take you somewhere! ”
…………
Uzel, Skeletron, Vinnosis and other cemetery subordinates curiously followed Li Xun and rushed to the first cemetery city established by the Necropolis in the world of the undead - the Sleeping Place. Then he rode the bat demon for an hour, and finally rediscovered the decaying temple of death in a remote mountain pass.
At the gate of the temple, Li Xun saw the ice demons, corpse witches and dark knights who stayed here to guard back then, as well as many skeleton zombies. Who would have thought that with an order casually arranged at that time, these loyal cemetery subordinates would be stationed at the temple for more than two years.
And these two years have been two years of rapid growth in the cemetery. These guys, who have an average rank of only 9 and 10, were also the main leaders of the cemetery back then, but now they can't even touch the tail of the team.
Li Xun blamed himself apologetically, and secretly sent an order to the butcher in the sleeping place to arrange some good ways out for this group of hard-working guard troops.
After handling the chores, Li Xun took a group of subordinates into this former temple of death.
Once again, a hundred skeletons were drawn and thrown into the altar. When the channel space that had shocked him reappeared, the temple exploded in an instant.
There are no rookies present today, and all of them have unprecedentedly sharp and powerful spiritual perceptions. Under their careful observation, when the channel space opened, the aura of treacherous power faintly emanating from the other side of the passage was completely in line with the Death Master Kern.
Needless to say, everyone instantly thought of something more.
The original assumption can be said to have been completely overturned. The Kern who came to the door didn't want to be a god, but he was already a god. Or rather, it has long possessed some of the powers of the gods.
If you continue to work down this line, then you need to find out how that Kern did it. The more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, and the brighter the eyes of the guys who studied the gods better.
Some strange ideas that have never been imagined in the past and cannot be imagined come and go. The many dragon lich couldn't hold back their anxiety like a hot pan cooking, and put aside Li Xun, the lord of the cemetery, ignoring the Skeletron's dazed and ignorant eyes for explanation, and shouted together and began to guess and deduce the truth behind this strange thing repeatedly.
Absurd and bizarre conjectures are constantly put forward and refuted one by one. Every dragon lich and corpse witch has fallen into a kind of "please guess the truth" frenzy, constantly contributing their own whimsical ideas. And this circle is getting bigger and bigger, not only the many spellcasters present are involved, but even many spell masters who are not on the scene have joined in. Based on the various materials they have gathered so far, they have put forward their own "expert-level" explanations and assertions.
This included a cadre of corpse witches led by Master Kel'thugad from the Undead Research Institute, as well as many high-level blood warlocks in Salma's Holy City, and finally even the dragon lich elder in the Dark City's Dragon Tomb couldn't hold back his performance and began to join the debate.
As everyone peels back the cocoon and eliminates false information and inferences, the clearer the conclusions are presented in front of everyone. There are even a large number of graveyard spellcasters who have begun to use high-level "prayers" to test their conjectures at the risk of magic backlash.
Such a lively and noisy scene directly made Li Xun, Skeleton King, Corpse King and other "illiterate" dumbfounded. How can the soul system still be used like this? It has become a huge platform for gathering knowledge, exchanging experiences and exchanging ideas!
Each Graveyard caster is spreading their own knowledge and opinions in the language of spirits, while at the same time receiving countless feedback and rebuttals from unknown soul nodes. It's like countless loudspeakers exploding in the soul system at the same time, and countless sound waves are stirring, transmitting, colliding, and feeding back to each other, and the whole scene can be called terrifying.
If it weren't for Li Xun, who saw the opportunity and directly pulled Issa into the soul system as a super transit station, otherwise he wouldn't be sure if his head would explode in an instant and be killed by his own men!
But fortunately, there have been many similar experiences before, and with the close cooperation of Li Xun and Issa, they finally resisted this "conjecture of the century" calmly.
Finally, after gathering all the data and information, the casters came up with a conjecture that could be closest to the truth.
