The Rise of the Cemetery

Arriving here, Master Kel'Thuzad finally stopped in his tracks, staring at the huge modified bone dragon with fascination. After a full quarter of an hour, he recovered from his "daze" and turned to ask Jacob.

"How far has the Frost Dragon's elemental fusion progressed? What's unusual about this day?"

Jacob smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "The fusion of the Bone Dragon and the ice fragments is not ideal, and elemental riots occurred many times during the period. If it weren't for our forced external intervention, this experiment could have been declared a failure!"

"What is your conclusion?"

"According to the unanimous judgment of the 7 elders of the Lich, the main reason for the failure of the elemental fusion is that the effect of the elemental stabilizer does not meet the predetermined requirements. If we want to continue further experiments, we must find a more efficient stabilizer..."

Speaking of this, Jacob's tone seemed a little hesitant.

"Tell me what you have, you must have a better goal!"

"Yes, honorable Master Kel'Thuzad, I...we feel...feel..."

"What the hell are you looking at? Tell me quickly, don't hesitate!"

"Dragon Blood Essence! My lord, we all agree that Dragon Blood Essence is the most suitable elemental stabilizer."

"..."

Although he had been mentally prepared that what the other party said would be an extremely rare treasure, Kel'Thuzad was still very surprised when he heard the dragon's blood essence all of a sudden. But after being surprised, he also fell into deep thinking.

Regardless of other things, these Lich researchers can think of dragon blood essence, which shows that they have really thought about it, and I am afraid that they have done a certain degree of testing before. Thinking about it carefully, it is really quite operable.

Dragon's blood essence, the dragon's blood bottle can bred a drop of high-purity dragon's blood every seven days, which is in the form of crystals. If it is absorbed by an orthodox dragon clan, it can help it transition to the next form smoothly, so it is a rare treasure of the dragon clan. .

The dragon's blood bottle was snatched by the cemetery master from the underground world. It was placed in the ancient tomb of the dragon in the dark city on the first day after it was snatched, and it became the most important treasure of the undead dragon lineage in the cemetery. This also makes the ancient tomb of the dragon in the Undercity a well-deserved sacred place for the dragon clan among many cemetery cities. Many bone dragons, ghost dragons, and dracolich from the lineage of undead dragons like to go there regularly to practice.

However, because there are too many monks and too little porridge, the undead dragon's internal demand for dragon blood essence has reached the level of hunger and thirst, so it is even more difficult for the outside world to get a drop. In the end, the lord of the cemetery issued a mandatory order, and the elder dracolich who guarded the tomb of the dragon reluctantly squeezed out a dragon blood essence and put it on the market. There is still such a treasure.

The corpse witches of the Institute of the Undead can think of the dragon's blood essence. Obviously, they have already preliminarily identified its basic attributes in the market. Only treasures like Dragon Blood Essence can not only strengthen the development potential of the bone dragon, but also appease the restless elemental particles, allowing the two to blend together peacefully.

Kel'Thuzad couldn't help but speculate along this line of thought, and finally agreed with the judgments of the Liches. Under the current circumstances, if you want to continue the "Frost Dragon Transformation Project", the Dragon Blood Essence is indeed the best choice.

But wanting to obtain the dragon's blood essence... thinking about this matter makes the old corpse a big headache.

As far as he knows, there is only one dragon's blood essence flowing out so far. As for the other dragon blood spirits, it is said that they were all taken over by a dracolich elder conceived in the ancient tomb of the dragon in the dark city. The old man never set foot outside the Dragon Tomb, and ruled there as the guardian of the Dragon Tomb.

Although the auxiliary advanced function of Dragon Blood Essence can only work once for any dragon family, if it is taken for a long time, it can still subtly improve the individual's development potential. Therefore, the old lich elder almost occupied all the output of dragon blood essence on the grounds that the stronger he was, the better he could guard the ancient tomb of the dragon.

According to legend, the individual strength of the elder dracolich has reached the holy rank. It is only because he never goes out that he is not famous in the large cemetery. Once it is about to walk out of the ancient tomb of the dragon, it will be a big boss next to the three legends in an instant.

Even inside the Undead Dragon in the cemetery, there was a lot of quarrels about this. Under strong external pressure, the dracolich elder finally made a concession. In the future, for the production of dragon blood essence, two out of every three must be sold for the promotion of the most outstanding descendants among the undead dragons.

I heard that the rising star among the undead dragons, the ghost dragon Moros, also used great benefits to exchange for a dragon blood essence from the elder dracolich, and is currently arranging various matters for his own evolution. As for the big brother in the undead dragon, the legendary undead flying dragon can naturally enjoy the offering of dragon blood essence with peace of mind.

Calculated in this way, one of every three dragon blood essences must be provided to the necromancer flying dragon, one dragon lich elder will keep it for his own use, and the remaining one will be crazily fought over by the dragons of the Great Cemetery. object.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how difficult it would be for any outsider to obtain a Dragon Blood Essence.

Therefore, if you want to obtain dragon blood essence in a long-term and stable way, you can only use the idea of ​​the elder dracolich's inventory.

Having made up his mind, he deliberated over the plan in his mind several times, and when it was confirmed that the problem was not serious, the old corpse witch, Master Kel'Thuzad, turned around and left the Undead Research Institute. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to bring some recent "special products" of the Undead Research Institute. Whether today's business trip can achieve its goal depends entirely on them.

It was rare for the old Lich to leave the Institute of the Undead, and his first destination was not the Dragon Tomb in the Undercity, but the holy city of Solma.

As soon as he stepped out of the Solmar portal, the old Lich was shocked by the scene in front of him.

After half a year of painstaking research, he knew nothing about the development of the major cemetery cities in the Great Cemetery. Seeing it suddenly at this moment, it is inevitable to be a little surprised and emotional.

Solma, located in the 438th demon plane of the abyss world, belongs to Silga's private personal plane. As the only garrison city here in the Great Cemetery, Solma has also become a holy place bestowed by the Lord of the Cemetery to the blood race.

Unlike other cemetery cities, this city is indeed a city that belongs to blood clans alone. Stepping out of the portal and looking around, there are well-dressed and well-mannered vampires surging in front of you. The gentle and elegant temperament, the arrogant and refined manner, the extravagant life similar to that of human nobles, made the old Lich think that he had come to a metropolis dominated by humans at first glance.

The streets and alleys are full of vampires in exquisite noble costumes. The men were all vampires in neat tuxedos, red bow ties, gentlemen's hats on their heads, civilization sticks in their hands, and delicate mustaches under their noses. Female vampires are all dressed in gorgeous one-piece dresses, sun hats of different colors, soft and thin silk gloves, and exquisite high-heeled shoes.

Whenever the bell of the ding-ding carriage rings, there will be a leisurely and comfortable noble carriage passing by. The opened curtain of the carriage reveals the smiles of beautiful noble girls, and their presumptuous and sweet smiles echo along the way.

On both sides of the road, there are all kinds of cloakrooms, high-end restaurants, concert halls, coffee houses, and open-air balconies. Even the guests in formal dresses are so polite and gentle.

And farther away, you don't see too many eerie cemetery buildings, but instead, there are stretches of retro-style castles and villas. All kinds of exquisite flowers and ornamental plants can be seen everywhere in the flower bed in the center of the street and the front and back of the house in the villa area.

The old Lich was speechless.

This is the demon plane, known as the most desolate place in the multiverse and the most unsuitable place for fragile plants to grow. The vampires want to grow these mostly ornamental "waste" here. In addition to cultivating the heat resistance of these plants, they also need to use the power of the bone sea to change the air and soil composition of the entire city.

The thought that needs to be expended here is that the old corpse witch will feel a headache when he thinks about it, but these blood races have done it generously. It seems that after the blood race devoted most of its strength to the human society on the Klein plane, the rewards they got were really rich.

While the old Lich was standing in a daze, several blood clans responsible for maintaining the order around the portal obviously recognized him, and hurried over to salute.

"Dear Master Kel'Thuzad, I don't know why you are here in Solmar? The vampire Sir Thomas is willing to serve you." The leading vampire in front of him is obviously a junior vampire who has just been knighted. The director of the Undead Research Institute arrived, showing great humility and respect. Grabbing the gentleman's hat on top of his head, he pressed it on his chest and made a standard 90-degree bow.

"I want to meet your blood ancestor, is he in Solmar now?"

"The Blood Ancestor is at Scarlet Castle, he will be very happy to see you. Please!"

Sir Thomas smiled obsequiously, turned around and snapped his fingers, a luxurious noble carriage stopped in front of him, and the tall horse "Yu Yu" pulling the carriage snorted, looking very majestic.

Sir Thomas opened the car door respectfully, bowed and said, "My lord, please get in the car!"

After the old Lich got on the carriage, the noble carriage began to travel westward, heading straight for the tallest building standing in the center of the city—the Scarlet Castle.

A quarter of an hour later, Kel'Thuzad finally met the Gorefiend, the target of the trip, in the living room on the second floor of Scarlet Castle.

To be honest, the old Lich, who hadn't seen Gorefiend for a long time, almost didn't recognize him.

The Gorefiend of the past was purely a cold-blooded assassin, always rushing to the front line of the bloody battlefield, feeding on blood, using blood as strength, and looking like a jackal covered in blood patterns all over his body. But now, the pale face that hasn't seen the sun for a long time, the loose silver hair, the blue eyes full of strange power, the tall and straight body, the elegant, gentle, and learned aristocratic temperament, which makes the blood golem completely It seems like a different person.

If it weren't for the familiar soul fluctuations, the old Lich couldn't believe that the human noble standing in front of him was the blood demon he had dealt with for a long time.
