The Rise of the Cemetery

0695 The Book of the Dead 1

The territory of the United Council of the Undead, the territory of the former Kingdom of Morrohede.

An undead war between undead and undead is about to break out.

Such an ancient and strange war has never appeared in the history of the Klein plane, so it has attracted the attention of all high-level people in the plane.

Although everyone can see the recent decline of the Undead Council, there are still not many people who dare to challenge the authority of the Lich like this sudden force in the cemetery. The tens of millions of terrifying undead army on the territory of the undead council is one aspect, and the bigger aspect is the strength of the legendary lich itself.

Legendary Lich!

This is a terrifying magical creature that can make people shudder just by hearing its name.

Their predecessors, every legendary mage before becoming a lich, was already the most dazzling star in the history of magic development in the Klein plane. Their illustrious reputation has been extolled by countless spellcasters, and their great achievements have been engraved in every chapter and every page of the history of magic.

It can be said that many of the current schools of magic, and even many magic organizations active in the Mage Guild, were formed and founded by them. Seriously speaking, the great development of magic in the Klein plane cannot be separated from their promotion and participation.

It's a pity that all the brilliance of this turned from light to darkness after the Lich Reincarnation Ceremony.

Hundreds or even thousands of years of tempering and torment, and the successive deaths of relatives, lovers, friends, and partners have gradually plunged their hearts into darkness and weakened their feelings. The brilliance of humanity that once shone on them has now been replaced by a thick and gloomy coldness and evil.

They become them.

In their eyes, human beings are no longer the same kind walking side by side, but a backward species with weak body and redundant emotions. In the past, the laws and regulations that they personally participated in formulating have also become outdated customs that bind their hands and feet.

Contradictions are accumulating and gaps are widening. Finally one day, a serious conflict broke out between the lich group and the human spellcasters.

Numerous Lich believers-necromancers were besieged by angry mages, or died of their favorite spells, or died of gallows and burning stakes. Many continental countries have even begun to ban the study of undead, undead, and psychic spells, and hunted down and killed dark casters on a large scale.

As the largest mage organization in the plane of Klein, the mage guild also eliminated the remaining forces of the lich from within.

For a time, the existence of undead spellcasters in the entire continent dropped to freezing point.

Although on the bright side, the Necromancer is no longer visible in Klein Continent. But in the dark, there are still many orthodox mages who either covet the viciousness of necromancy, or cannot resist the temptation of eternal life, and are still studying related content.

And those old-fashioned liches hid in hidden tombs, crypts, deep mountains, old forests, wild swamps, and continued their isolated magic research. There are also some liches who simply stepped out of the plane of Klein and started an adventurous career of exploring the plane.

Under such circumstances, the once stunning and talented Lord of the Undead, Sean VII, was unwilling to be silent, and secretly contacted and conquered the few remaining legendary liches in the Klein plane. After nearly a thousand years of dormancy and development, he finally managed The eruption took over the kingdom of Morjorhad, which had a vast territory but weak protection.

When the United Council of the Undead raised its banner on the Klein Continent, the raging waves of public opinion on the continent finally couldn't resist the horror of the death of the legendary Lich, and the first undead war ended in a lamentable way.

Since then, the horror of the legendary lich has once again been etched into the souls of all.

If there is no Mage Guild to take the lead, if there is no church power to go all out, relying on the mortal armies of individual countries, it is impossible to even think about destroying the undead kingdom that has been huddled together.

But today, the general perception of people in this continent has been reversed.

A mysterious undead army that has never been heard before is challenging the authority of the legendary Lich in the hinterland of the Undead Council, and is marching towards the lair of the legendary Lich - the capital of the undead with a destructive attack posture.

For a while, words such as "undead civil war" and "lich internal strife" filled the taverns and restaurants in all cities on Klein's plane. All well-informed large-scale organizations and forces have turned their attention to the interior of the Undead Council, watching every step of development and every change there.

Rumors that the forces of the undead are declining are even more blatant!

However, in stark contrast to the heated discussions among the people, it was the calmness and indifference of those legendary classes. Except for a very few legendary powerhouses who are at stake with the legendary lich, most of the legends are watching this undead war that is about to break out as bystanders.

In a short period of time, even the undead mage rebellion that broke out in the Principality of Novus seems to have died down.

...

When the eyes of the entire plane were focused on Heimu Lake, 300 miles to the north of the capital of the undead, Li Xun, a participant in the battle, was still squatting in the body of the corpse grave demon Mars, studying hard every day like a normal person. The Book of the Dead.

You heard that right, now the corpse grave devil already has a name. Mars, an ordinary name! This is the name Li Xun gave it when it was promoted to the second level after devouring a large cemetery the day before yesterday. It is a hundred times more difficult for a half-life, half-constructed special activated life like the Corpse Grave Demon to advance once than ordinary creatures.

However, each advancement is usually accompanied by a double increase in strength.

In Li Xun's impression, the only activated life forms in the Great Cemetery that are similar to Mars are the Ironhead Isa and the ghostly battleship Terkanes.

The biggest and most conspicuous change of the Corpse Tomb Demon Mars is the area it occupies, which has reached a radius of nearly a kilometer. Of course, this refers to its extended and traveling state. If it needs to fight, it can also shrink its body back, forming a city of cemeteries with a radius of nearly 500 meters. All the city walls, battle castles, and ghost fire towers are composed of tall and strong evil tombstones, which are extraordinarily glaring with ghostly spirits, and have their own terrible blasphemy domains.

It's a pity that most of these things are useless in the undead civil war, so Li Xun just uses Mars as a comfortable mobile car.

As for the so-called Book of the Dead, all necromancers will personally make a special magic equipment to record all the necromancy spells they have mastered. It is a terrifying and evil item made with human skin as the cover, human corpse fluid as the ink, and human bones as the frame. When non-dead spellcasters read this kind of book, they will be attacked by the effects of "dead chatter", "life sucking" and "flesh withering" all the time.

Of course, the ones listed just now are only the Book of the Dead made by ordinary necromancers. But what Li Xun is holding in his hand at this moment is the half-plane treasury from Xia En VII, a book of death made by the legendary Lich Nonos himself.

Although this book is not yet at the level of a legendary item, it is not far away. It even densely records all the known undead spell knowledge and mantras in Klein's plane, even those famous 9th-level spells are quite a lot. But the most precious thing is the only super-level spell included in this book-the undead natural disaster.

As the top-level and most vicious attack method in the necromantic system, the Scourge of the Undead cannot be completed by a legendary Lich independently, but a magical blasphemy ritual that is so complicated that even the Lich would scratch his head. It can forcibly transform all creatures who die within the spell's envelope during the undead blasphemy ritual into undead creatures and enslave the ritual master.

This is also the fastest way for legendary liches to make undead legions.

This book of death existed as a treasure in the last undead natural disaster ceremony launched by Mozorhe Germany, and now it is in Li Xun's hands. If the United Council of the Undead wants to launch another natural disaster of the undead in the Principality of Novus, I am afraid it will have to think of other ways to find a treasure of the same level that can replace the Book of the Dead.

With the rich inventory of the legendary lich, although it is not impossible, it will not be so easy. It not only needs to meet the dark attributes of the undead natural disaster ceremony, but also needs to be able to carry the flow of massive dead energy and the impact of thousands of undead souls. Such undead treasures are one of the few in the history of the Klein plane.

It is because of the existence of these undead treasures that the legendary lich can be freed from the heavy magic ceremony and release their maximum combat power. Otherwise, how could the five legendary liches who were locked in the undead disaster ceremony be able to resist the joint attack of the two legendary guardian mages back then.

It can be said seriously that taking such a treasure from the undead council is equivalent to locking up the entire combat power of a legendary lich, and also allowing them to lose two points in safety when casting the undead natural disaster.

How does Li Xun, a "little" mage who can reach level 16, know this kind of thing? He only knows a little bit after listening to the undead master Kel'Thuzad Pi.

Therefore, he became more and more interested in this undead treasure.

As a legendary lich who has been "missing" for more than 1,100 years, Nonos was also a well-known figure in the plane of Klein, but it is a pity that he was finally lost in the boundless sea of ​​stars.

This kind of space exploration without personal protection has always been the case. Once the mana of the whole body is exhausted by the void storm, or is trapped in a space on a different plane and cannot turn back, then this character is dead to its native plane. At least many famous legendary figures in history were expelled from the Mage Guild because they couldn't turn back, and they were classified as the dead.

In fact, with Li Xun's current qualifications, it is still too difficult to read magic books of this level.

Because it is a living book!
