The Rise of the Cemetery

(June 28th is the birthday of book friend Mang Xing, please wish him a happy birthday together!)

The wind howled.

The "Master of Death" and his party had already left, and only the Skeleton King was left in silent meditation with his head bowed.

It wasn't until a light door opened and Li Xun, Uzel and others got out from inside that the Skeleton King raised his head.

"You shouldn't have agreed to its challenge! From all aspects, you can't defeat it!" Uzel said expressionlessly.

As the commander-in-chief of the cemetery, the other party's outstanding status simply cannot allow a dracolich to denounce him, so Uzel can only express his opinion tactfully.

Li Xun pushed off the hood on his head, revealing his young and immature face in the biting cold wind. Although he has blessed himself with "tolerating the environment", the filthy air in the undead world still makes him unbearable. But he doesn't care about it now, but silently waits for Skeleton King's answer.

Yes, the gap between the two sides is too obvious.

That Kern can hold Sarzastan under threat, and the Skeleton King probably won't last half an hour under Szastan's hands. This addition and subtraction is enough to measure the huge gap between the Skeleton King and that Kern.

To put it bluntly, what a disparity between heaven and earth!

However, Skeleton King is the commander of the cemetery personally selected by Li Xun, and also the hero of the cemetery who has followed Li Xun for the longest time. He has always won Li Xun's trust with his maturity and prudence. How could he be so reckless to agree to this kind of duel that is no different from death?

King's dignity?

Fart, a dead king still has the dignity of fart!

Li Xun admits that he is not a strong man, nor does he have the pride of a so-called strong man. In his view, the enemy is the enemy, and it is only reasonable to find all means to defeat it. How can there be any reason to take your own head to face the enemy's sword head-on?

Drenched in blood, riddled with wounds, he still persisted in getting up and charging the enemy... This desolate scene may be tragic and impassioned in the eyes of others, but in Li Xun's eyes, it is so stupid that he can't be any more stupid Behavior!

Regardless of whether it is a large-scale war or a small battle, the time when the battle begins is by no means the moment when the swords meet, but the moment when each other's positions are determined. Before going to war, before stepping on the battlefield, there are more things to do.

For example, sending troops to sneak attack on the enemy's transportation lines, such as raiding their lairs, such as robbing their relatives... As long as they can hit their mood on the battlefield, these are all tactics that can be tried.

How can a war be decided by a life-and-death confrontation between two strong men?

It is true that the world I am in now is a grotesque and high-magic world, and the strong have incomparable oppressive power over the weak. But that Kern is strong, and the big cemetery is not weak! Li Xun is really going to be annoyed, he can still take over a war provoked by an undead king, and there is no reason to let the skeleton king, the mainstay of the cemetery, fight for his life and die!

Confused, Li Xun also looked at the Skeleton King.

The Skeleton King's white and crystal-clear bones shimmered, and his upper and lower jaws, without a trace of flesh and blood, kept trembling, apparently grinning loudly.

He took a big step and walked to the place where the legendary Lich Sazastan had stood just now. There are still strong elemental fluctuations remaining on the dark soil there, obviously the aftermath of the destruction of the huge magic circle has not yet dissipated. Pushing aside the soil, the Skeleton King actually dug out a pale, simple and old gray-white bead from the footprint left by the legendary lich.

Li Xun and Uzel looked at each other inexplicably, and before they could ask, the Skeleton King shook his head and stopped them.

"Go back to the city first. We'll talk about everything in the city!"

Seeing the other party's mysterious posture, Li Xun could only open a portal casually, and the three of them returned to the Stratholme Magic Tower.

Standing still in the magic hall on the second floor of the magic tower, the Skeleton King grinned again, holding the dull gray-white bead between his fingers and exerting some force. With a slight crisp sound of "click", a layer of colloidal substance was broken inch by inch, peeling off from the beads continuously, revealing the mystery inside.

The moment the gray-white bead shattered, a strange wave that was completely different from ordinary matter overflowed from it, instantly causing Li Xun and everyone's complexions to change drastically.

At this moment, between the Skeleton King's greasy white bone fingers is a sphere shimmering with a strange glimmer, black and purple faint fireflies swirling slightly around it. The interior of the sphere seems to be embedded with an invisible black hole. From the moment it appeared, the surrounding light and element particles were pulled by it and continuously poured into it.

Although everyone has only seen this thing once, it is enough to never forget it. Seeing it again at this moment, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Death Moon Magic Orb!"

"Death Moon Magic Orb!"

"Death Moon Magic Orb!"

...

What the Skeleton King comfortably twirled between his fingers turned out to be a powerful legendary magic item—the Death Moon Orb!

For a moment, Li Xun's brain was a little hypoxic due to the strong and explosive information shock, and he sat tremblingly on the throne of bones while pressing the armrest.

Death Moon Orbs, Legendary Items, Legendary Liches, Undead Kings...

A series of strange words lingered in his mind, like magic sounds filling his brain, making him dizzy.

After experiencing hundreds of crazy battles, large and small, strangling demon lords, slaughtering drow cities, and sweeping mind flayer lairs... Even though the large cemetery is violently violent and expanding wildly, but now, legends and other tiers Magic items and equipment can be counted with a slap.

This also shows the tight supply and rarity of legendary items.

But today, the Skeleton King went out for a walk, picked up a random bead on the ground, and it was a legendary item, and it was also a powerful stuff that was not well-known among the legendary items. This... This huge contrast made Li Xun a little confused.

You know, this Death Moon Magic Orb is the personal treasure of the legendary Lich Sazastan, and it is also a powerful treasure that has earned its fame. How could such a thing be thrown away at will? And looking at the Skeleton King's posture, it is obvious that he has an "adulterate relationship" with that legendary lich, and he must have "flirtatiously" secretly, otherwise it would be impossible to be so accurate.

You know, before the Skeleton King broke through the disguise outside the Death Moon Magic Orb, even Li Xun and many dragon liches didn't find any flaws in it. This is enough to show that this is carefully camouflaged and cleverly designed.

And the opponent's purpose...

Just when Li Xun turned from surprise to joy, and then to deep thought, Uzel, who had been staring at the Death Moon Magic Orb, suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Master, that's wrong. There are mental fluctuations in it!"

Li Xun's body trembled, his waist straightened immediately, and his powerful mental power pierced into the control center of the magic tower like lightning, and was closely integrated with Yisa's soul clone. In less than three fingers, the magic tower activated all its defenses again, blocking all internal and external traffic.

A series of impenetrable force field walls instantly cut off the magic hall into transparent cubicles. Powerful magic energy flows and gathers in the translucent tower walls, which can turn into a stormy wave of spells and sweep across Li at any time. Xun designated enemies.

Even Uzel, Skeleton King, Jacob, Vinnosis and other senior officials of the cemetery looked at everything around them in horror, and their bodies were still motionless at this moment. Because they perceive it very clearly, the powerful magical energy condensed around them is unprecedentedly terrifying. Once someone triggers the warning mechanism, that unlucky guy will be wiped out before the master of the cemetery stops him.

"Master, it seems to be just a spiritual message, not like a lich's conspiracy!" Twisting the orb in his hand, the Skeleton King gave Uzel a fierce look, and then explained to Li Xun gently.

Li Xun frowned and looked at the Skeleton King. Seeing the other party's calm demeanor, he gave a self-conscious smile and waved away the full security of the magic tower.

Only then did everyone in the hall let out a long breath.

It seems that the scene of being assassinated last time caused a lot of psychological shadow on the master. It was a little turbulent, but the intensity of the master's reaction was not ordinary.

In order to resolve the embarrassment, the Skeleton King put the Death Moon Orb in front of him, opened his mouth wide, and blew on it with a mouthful of extremely pure death air.

Perhaps a certain preset mechanism was triggered, and the orb immediately spun quickly. The dense purple-black halo wrapped together, turning the orb into a dazzling destructive light ball.

Immediately, a dense human-shaped light and shadow emerged from the light ball and stood in midair.

"Sarzastan!" Li Xun sighed, and read out his name.

The human form of light and shadow is exactly what the legendary Lich Sazastan looks like.

I saw "Sazastan" looking around in the void, and finally fixed his eyes on the young mage sitting in the main seat.

"Dear cemetery controller, I hope to reach a deal with you!"

"trade?"

"Yes. It is a transaction that is extremely beneficial to you!"

"Oh?" Li Xun couldn't help sitting upright: "Then I really want to hear it. Your Excellency might as well talk about it."

"I hope to use this legendary orb to ask Your Excellency to do one thing for me, something that Your Excellency can't wait to do. And I can also provide a lot of private information about this Lord of Death to help Your Excellency strangle this lunatic. I You can also withdraw from the world of the undead and completely hand over this paradise of the undead to your Excellency. How about it? Your Excellency should be satisfied with so much good news, right?"

Perhaps the stimulation just now was too great, which made Li Xun's spirit still in a kind of paralysis. Hearing that the Legendary Lich had promised so many good things, Li Xun remained calm and thoughtful, as if he didn't care about all of this.

"Sazastan" complexion instantly became gloomy. Although he is very reluctant, he is in a delicate situation now, and the only person who can help him now seems to be this bastard young mage in front of him who should be cut into pieces, skinned and boned, and his soul drawn out to make a lamp of pain.

Seeing that the promise just now could not impress the other party, "Sazastan" had no choice but to grit his teeth and add an additional "weight".

"I can also help you deal with Shane!"

Li Xun finally raised his head in horror, and asked in surprise, "What exactly do you want from me?"

"Kill me! I beg you to kill me!"
