The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0078 Lies and Truth

At night, in a luxurious room of Wenli Hotel.

Li Xun sat quietly at the table, flipping through the materials he had just obtained, and the undead invasion that swept across the Kingdom of Morjor Hed two years ago gradually unfolded before his eyes.

I have to say that the intelligence systems of these thieves are really professional. Much of the information they obtained was not directly obtained, but outside observation, as if the detailed number of an army could be obtained from the military chief, but the cook who accompanied the army should be the most clear. For the undead council, which has existed for a long time, has a strict system, and a unified belief mage organization, it is almost impossible to find out something from it, but you can still get the information you want by sorting out the traces of their various actions.

The downfall of Morjor Hed was carefully planned by the Undead Council. The strategy of the Undead Council is also very simple, playing the trick of boiling frogs in warm water.

The first is to create an undead invasion event in some border villages in the eastern part of the Moror Hede Kingdom. The scale is small but there are many fires, which made the local garrison exhausted for a while. In this way, they fished out the two major knight orders of the kingdom, and after introducing them into the Jedi, they carried out a tragic fight. The two major knight orders of the kingdom were all wiped out, and the local garrison suffered heavy losses. The Undead Council is also ruthless enough. This battle only sent some low-level and middle-level undead mages, and created an illusion that the undead mages were also severely injured. was also lured out.

In the view of the Moorheid royal family, what is raging in the country is just a group of ownerless necromancers who have wandered in. It is impossible to imagine that a giant man-eating crocodile is crawling nearby and preparing to pounce on a feast. The only two legendary mages of the Morrahd royal family that could make the Undead Council feel scruples were also successfully separated this time, and one stayed behind in the capital and the other led the royal mage group to attack.

Ignorance of the enemy led to inevitable defeat. The elite of the Kingdom of Morhorheed was wiped out, and the level 21 legendary mages who led the team were trapped and killed by the 25th level Shane VII and the 21st level witch Valakis. Few of the royal mages of the kingdom could escape. Before the royal family of the kingdom got the "true news" from the enemy, before they could ask for help from the outside world, three legendary liches who had already infiltrated the capital carried out a blood sacrifice that night, and they jointly triggered a natural disaster of the undead covering a radius of 200 miles, and forcibly destroyed the surrounding area of ​​the capital. 700,000 people were transformed into undead creatures, and only those with magical protection escaped the sacrilegious ritual. The legendary mage Troo failed to break through the defensive barrier set up by the 3 legendary liches before the ceremony was completed, destroying the blood sacrifice ceremony. Later, he was seriously injured by the 2 liches who rushed over, and barely escaped from the blood sacrifice ceremony. place of death.

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

According to the intelligence of the Thieves Guild, before the undead disaster was launched by the skeleton, there was already a lot of turmoil in the capital, and there were many reports of missing people, but the king did not pay enough attention to it. The matter on the border has already made him burnt out, so he just handed over the investigation to the city guards. According to the analysis before and after the event, the defense of this city guard is full of doubts, and it is very likely that it has been controlled by the legendary lich. The defense of the capital was empty, which brought great convenience to the three legendary liches, who were able to calmly prepare a large-scale blood sacrifice.

The Thieves Guild's information also pointed out the three fulcrums that are most likely to support the operation of the undead natural disaster, and picked out some of the puzzles. The last piece of information sent out by the branch of the Thieves Guild in the capital 3 hours before the undead disaster surprisingly indicated that the royal palace might be the final location of the blood sacrifice.

Why is the palace the ultimate blood sacrifice site?

The royal palace has always been the most closely guarded place, and the blood sacrifice there is more than ten times or a hundred times more difficult than other places. Why did the skeletons choose such a place over the easy and the difficult? Is it self-confidence or is this place eccentric?

Li Xun sneered a few times, a look of sarcasm appeared on his delicate face. At first, I thought I was spreading rumors to smear the other party, but judging from the intelligence, the Undead Council actually did something behind the scenes! Wouldn't the undead council really secretly open the passage to the undead world as he slandered?

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

Throwing away the parchment, Li Xun stood up and paced slowly in the room, thinking about how to connect with the legendary mage Tero behind Siris.

For the next month, Li Xun was always on the run. He was not in a hurry to go to the city hall to delineate his territory, but first visited his old friend Sir Hanwick near the city of Naya, and negotiated an agreement on changing the territory through some secret talks. Li Xun took the initiative to hand over the power of selecting the territory this time to Sir Hanwick, and the Sir will exchange the land of the same size near Dayan Village, which is the closest to the Whispering Forest, to Master Li Xun.

Sir Hanwick was also very excited about being able to exchange a remote village for a re-selection of land. He repeatedly expressed his desire to compensate the mage for the loss, but was rejected by the mage. The mage completed this exchange on the grounds that he likes quietness and has taken a fancy to the Warcraft resources in the Whispering Forest.

After traveling between Pierpont City and Naya City, the transaction was finally completed after one and a half months. Li Xun naturally became the lord within a radius of 50 miles from Dayan Village. Taking control of Dayan Village sealed off the nearest human settlement to Eternal Night City, reducing the risk of Eternal Night City leaking.

...

In the early morning, before the sun could see a smiling face from the horizon, the head of Dayan Village had already led some prestigious villagers to wait at the entrance of the village.

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

A mage lord!

The change of lord is far away for these farmers who deal with the land all day long, but now a mage lord is coming! I heard that it was the magical mage who assisted the old lord to destroy the bandit group last time.

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

Ham, the only blacksmith in the village, said loudly, "What are you afraid of, Mork? You are a new lord! The previous lord, Sir Hanwick, has ruled here for twenty years, but he has only been here a few times. ? Not for those damned bandits, he will probably never enter our Dayan Village in his life. The land that Master Mage has just acquired, he will definitely take a look at it, and then he will hide in the city to enjoy the happiness with the nobles. It's not the same as before, why are you worried!"

This statement was unanimously approved by others, who all nodded in agreement, and then began to secretly discuss the magic of the mage.

Mo Ke turned his head and stared at the gradually disturbed crowd, and shouted loudly: "Shut up. If you want to talk, go home and talk. The lord will come later, please behave yourself!" Watching the voice fade away, everyone resumed Standing with his head bowed, he turned around in satisfaction.

"I'm coming……"

There were a few short screams from the crowd, and Village Chief Moke was shocked, standing on tiptoe and looking into the distance. Breaking through the early morning mist, a carriage was slowly approaching under the escort of several cavalrymen.

The carriage stopped before the crowd, and a young mage got out of the carriage. The mage's robe, which is as dark as the night sky, is covered with gold and silver magic patterns, and there are faint flashes of light from time to time when he walks around; the young and immature face is also correct, and the most impressive thing is the pair of black pupils, Anyone caught in its gaze suffers from a slight burning sensation, making it impossible to look directly.

The head of Moke bite the bullet and stepped forward and bowed: "I have seen the master, the younger one is the village head of Dayan Village, please rest in the village."

The brief lingering of Li Xun's gaze made the village head break out in a cold sweat, but luckily he moved away quickly.

"There is no need for any welcome ceremony, let the villagers disperse! You can introduce the situation."

In the simple hall of the village, Li Xun, who was sitting in the main seat, began to listen to the introduction of the village chief. Although Sir Hanwick already knew something about similar situations, but it would be much more detailed and accurate to listen to the person involved after walking around the field.

According to the people in the village, Li Xun's left ear goes in and out of his right ear, and his energy is mainly concentrated on the surrounding environment. There are a total of sixty or seventy people in the village, most of them are farmers, there is also a blacksmith, and several hunters. Due to the rampage of bandits a few years ago, the road to the mountain was blocked, and those hunters were also arrested by bandits. Later, the bandits were exterminated, but something happened in the forest. Villagers who go into the mountains to cut trees and hunt will always fall into an inexplicable fog. Those who are unlucky will lose their lives directly, and those who are lucky will be frightened and dare not enter the forest again.

After half a year of exploration, the villagers found that as long as they entered the forest no more than 10 miles away, nothing would happen, but once they strayed deeper into the forest, they would lose their lives. Therefore, the villagers only dared to cut down some trees at the edge of the forest to go home to make a fire, and no one dared to go to the depths. This situation was reported to Sir Hanwick, and the lord hired a few mercenaries to check it out, but they never returned, and no one asked about it anymore.

Li Xun listened quietly, nodding from time to time to indicate to continue, until the village chief had finished speaking, he said: "There is no need to worry about these things. I plan to build a high tower nearby as my residence in the near future. What is there in the forest?" I will look for a chance to see the beast."

"Mage Tower? Master, do you plan to live here for a long time?"

Li Xun didn't intend to explain the difference between the mage's tower and the mage's tower to an old farmer in the country, but he calmly ordered: "I will stay here for a short time, and after I delineate the range, you tell the good villagers not to disturb I."

Mo Ke answered again and again in surprise.

"You take me around now. I need a relatively wide and flat highland, with a radius of two to three hundred meters."

Village head Moke hurried out to make arrangements. After a cup of tea, accompanied by several cavalrymen, Li Xun and Mo Ke headed to a certain highland outside the village.
