Thanks very much to Qidian Dad [Book Friends 20181005215234324] for the 126 reward!
......
Cairns XVI, who was far away in the royal capital, had just learned that the Sigh Wall had fallen.
But the news of Du Duo's defeat and death has spread across the land of Eivor.
The captives returned home fearful of Raven.
Fear will amplify a person's emotions, and losers tend to exaggerate the strength of winners.
As a result, Lei Wen, which was spread among people, gradually took on a completely different image.
He is 3 meters tall, with 3 heads and 8 arms. Each head has sharp teeth like monsters and sharp horns like demons.
His skin is as black as coal, with magma flowing in his veins. He rides a terrifying horse from hell. Every step he takes will leave burning footprints on the earth, accompanied by lingering traces. Doesn't get rid of the sulfur smell.
The most frightening thing is that Raven loves to eat raw human flesh and drink raw human blood.
He is also very picky about food.
My favorite is the little boy who hasn’t grown up yet. He sighs that all the tens of thousands of boys within the high wall were eaten up by him!
As for an adult, he only eats the softest offal.
The leftover heads will be piled together to become an evil array that pollutes the earth. This is a blessing to his demonic army, so they will be invincible on the battlefield!
"Oh my God, won't the Lord of Light punish these demons?"
Someone asked.
Someone immediately replied with a serious tone: "Grand Duke Eivor VIII is addicted to pleasure, the nobles have long abandoned their glory, and the people have forgotten what faith is."
"The appearance of Raven, Just one The punishment of my Lord!”
“Let this man-eating devil punish the fallen principality! Only when blood flows all over the earth and faith returns to this land, will our Lord restrain him. The anger!”
These words are simply nonsense, and the "my Lord" in everyone's mouth does not point to the same goal.
But Raven defeated Eivor's army twice in succession, which is unimaginable to many people.
So compared to rational analysis, this kind of mythical speculation is more marketable.
As a result, the reputation of the "Man-Eating Demon King" soon swept the entire Principality of Eivor, centered on the Boland Region, especially the Eivor Region, the capital of the principality that is closely connected to it.
So much so that if the child cannot be coaxed well, the adults at home will threaten him with "Here comes Raven!". It is said that the effect is very significant.
Sometimes the effect is too good to coax it back, and that's another story.
These rumors were sent to Eivor VIII's desk along with the news of Tudor's defeat, allowing him to convene a royal meeting again.
Compared to lamenting the fall of the high wall, the Grand Duke acted much calmer, at least this time he did not roar.
I even have time to outline my nails with a thin eyebrow pencil.
“One day, another day.”
"30,000 vs. 10,000, it was declared destroyed in one day. A third-level magician died along with it, and even Du Duo himself died!"
"I heard that there was also a person who was supposed to be there on the battlefield. Sighing for the enchanted bed crossbow on the high wall. "
"I don't know, Du Duo failed this time and gave it to Raven again. What good things have been sent?”
“Are we, the nobles of the Principality of Eivor, all Raven’s logistics troops?”
“I said, Your Excellency, you are not. Do you think Du Duo is very capable? Do you want to explain this ending?"
Faced with Eivor VIII’s strange annoyance, Gatuggen remained calm and leaned forward and said:
“Your Highness, Count Tudor did fail, but this cannot be used to disparage him.”
>"On the one hand, this is because We pushed too hard, forcing him to choose a decisive battle with Raven. "On the other hand, it was also because of Raven's own strength."
A disdainful sneer came. It was from Generalissimo Quentin.
Gatugen glanced at him lightly, and the generalissimo immediately sat upright and turned his head angrily.
Gatugen knew that Quentin’s performance was also an extension of His Highness the Grand Duke’s will, so he emphasized:
“I have to remind everyone here that Raven has defeated and killed Killed the two earls of the empire!”
“If you sigh at the high wall and Raven suddenly The reason for the trouble is that Count Tudor, who has already figured out the details of Raven, still failed, which is enough to explain the problem!"
Seeing Gatugen being so serious, Eivor VIII had to straighten up his attitude! , put away the eyebrow pencil: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, it's not that I don't value Raven..."
"You not only don't value Raven." Gatugen interrupted Eivor VIII: "You also lack enough respect for Earl Tudor."
"According to reports from the front, Earl Tudor , he chose to commit suicide when he could survive. He did his best. All the obligations of a nobleman."
"He is loyal to the Principality of Eivor, and he is also loyal to your Eivor family!"
Eivor VIII's mouth suddenly changed. With a twitch, he clenched the armrests of the throne, anger gradually rising in his heart.
If the strange mood at the beginning was just because of his inadvertent resistance to Gatugen’s discipline over the years, then now, he is really angry.
I'm the Grand Duke. I haven't settled your previous plan to lie about military information. Now you're educating me like this again?
But he couldn't refute it.
Gatugen has accumulated enough power in his heart over the years, and this time Gatugen’s words are very reasonable.
So Eivor VIII turned his attention to Quentin.
The generalissimo felt nervous and his scalp was numb, but he still had to stand up:
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you have gone too far!"
"His Majesty the King did not mean to disrespect Count Tudor, he is just too angry."
"Why is His Highness the Grand Duke so angry? Because some unscrupulous people are now spreading rumors, calling Raven the Demon King, and calling him a disaster sent by the gods. This is an attempt to shake the foundation of the Eivor family's rule!"
"At this time, as the Prime Minister, you don't want to stabilize the situation and solve the problems for the Grand Duke, but you still accuse him. This is a sign of being a Prime Minister. Is this what the minister should do?”
Quentin’s heart was beating loudly after he said it.
Not only is His Highness the Grand Duke afraid of Gatugen, but Quentin himself is also afraid!
It would be bad if Gatugan's firepower was transferred to himself.
What surprised him was that instead of being angry, Gatugen lowered his head and admitted his mistake:
"The generalissimo is right, I was too excited."
< br>Eivor VIII looked surprised. He did not expect that the always tough Prime Minister would admit his mistake.
But what happens next with Tugen is not so happy.
"Your Highness, Grand Marshal." Gatugen said seriously: "It's not that I don't value the reputation of the Grand Duke, but the reason why there are these rumors is all because of our successive defeats on the battlefield."< br>
“The only way to eradicate the rumors is to defeat Raven.”
“I said so much before, it’s I want to tell you that Raven should not be underestimated, and the decisions we made before must be adjusted accordingly."
"First of all, I hope that His Highness can posthumously create Earl Duduo and upgrade his title to Earl. Marquis, and the additional position of court earl is both a reward and a spur to other nobles.”
"Secondly, the surrounding armies should be mobilized, with the Grand Marshal as the unified command, and stationed in Bolan City, just in case."
These two proposals surprised both Eivor VIII and Quentin. .
Especially Eivor VIII, his heart is very complicated.
He knew that what Gatugen said made sense, especially regarding the posthumous title of Tu Duo.
But the problem is that he has already considered transferring the fiefdom to the Che Manli family and wants to hand over this fiefdom to Quentin to manage - after all, there is a Bolan gold mine there. The fact that the principality is rich does not mean that the grand duke is rich. Eivor VIII still wants to make some private money in it.
If Du Duo were to be granted the title at this time, it would be difficult to transfer it.
Clearing his throat, Eivor VIII said: "The issue of the title of Earl Tudor involves many aspects. We will discuss this later."
"As for the matter, Mobilizing troops to Boland County...is it really necessary? "
Quentin also said on the side: "Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, the plan is proceeding step by step, why should we go to war? Even if there is no fight, hundreds of thousands of people will be killed at one time. Where are the gold coins?”
"Or are you not confident in your arrangements?"
Gatugen said seriously: "There is no perfect strategy in the world, and Raven's performance deserves more serious response."
Seeing that Gatugen was so insistent and even didn’t rush to investigate Tu Duo’s death, Eivor VIII and Quentin looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Eivor VIII said: "In that case, I will issue an order now for Quentin to lead the guards to settle in Bolan City."
"Your guards do not need to move. "Gatu Gen said: "Just send the nobles from the surrounding areas to go over."
The previous sentence of Eivor VIII was originally a test. Now that he sees that Gatugen has no intention of transferring the Guards, he naturally feels more relaxed:
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
"Okay, just do as the Prime Minister said."
Now that the core members of the principality have reached an agreement, the order was quickly implemented.
After Gatugen left, Eivor VIII and Quentin got together.
Eivor VIII whispered in a low voice:
"What happened to Gatu Gen today? I thought he had some conspiracy to transfer you out on purpose, but since he has kept the guards, , Does he really have nothing else on his mind?"
Phase Compared with Eivor VIII, Quentin himself does not have such a deep prejudice against Gatugen:
"Probably not."
Eivor VIII is still worried: " He has a history of asking Wanda to lie about military information.”
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Quentin whispered: "This time the plan was not only presided over by Gatugen, but I also participated in every detail throughout the process, and absolutely nothing was missed."
"Half Within the month, Lei Wen will definitely die!”
……
In the south of Bolan County, Lei Wen’s army camp.
At this moment, in a secret room, Raven was staring at the damaged silent sarcophagus, seeming to be thinking about something.
Quili's relics have now fallen into Raven's hands.
Not only the silent sarcophagus, but also his space ring.
Although it is not as good as the one obtained from the Necromancer, the capacity of this ring is also not small.
Unfortunately, there are not many gold coins in it, only more than 3,000.
What is really valuable is the magic potion materials he left behind. The total value is close to 40,000 gold coins, and 9 of them overlap with the materials Raven needs.
Unfortunately, the most in-demand rock core flower is still missing.
In addition to the above, what helped Raven the most was the notes left by Kuili, which contained 16 volumes and a million words.
As expected of a major student from the Mage Academy, many of these theories were his first exposure to them, and he was quite fruitful.
At the same time, I also understood why Kuili was wanted by the Mages Guild.
Because he is studying a branch of necromancy magic - flesh magic.
By using living creatures as materials, functions that cannot be achieved by ordinary enchanting props can be achieved.
Just like enchantment, only high-level materials can withstand high-level magic.
Only flesh and blood creations made by high-level life forms can exert more powerful functions - and are very cost-effective.
The effects of humans are even more outstanding than those of Warcraft.
According to Quili's notes, the body of a first-level magician can amplify ordinary first-level magic to the scale of ritual magic, creating a temporary magic circle.
The Silent Sarcophagus is such a creation.
The core is made from the life essence of 1 level 3 monster, 2 level 2 knights, and 30 ordinary soldiers, supplemented by various magic materials, allowing it to use the level 3 magic "Silent Barrier" The range extends to a radius of 2 kilometers!
Now, the lid of the silent sarcophagus has been shattered, revealing a pool of scarlet liquid as thick as glue, which is blood mixed with various magic materials.
Under the surface, there is a huge heart-shaped piece of meat, from which dense blood vessels like roots spread out, connecting to various parts of the sarcophagus. The blood pumping in it is full of strong magic power.
"What do you think?" Raven asked.
William emerged from the shadows of the tent.
Although there is no sunshine here, it is still daytime after all, and the vampire seems a little tired: "Master... the way this thing works does have a bit of our vampire magic."
" But the principles and methods are completely different, and the ideas are also extremely ...It's annoying."
Leaven nodded slowly: "In other words, if I make changes to this creation, you can 'cure' it?"
William's eyelids slightly twitched. Shrinking, he reluctantly said: "Yes, Master..."
The reason for such resistance starts from the roots of flesh and blood magic.
The magic of flesh and blood itself is the creation and change of the vampire by the magician. The purpose is to pursue eternal life without turning into a vampire.
It can be said that the branch of flesh and blood magic is built on the bones of countless vampires.
In William's eyes, this sarcophagus is not only a magical creation, but more like a created freak, with a kind of heartfelt disgust.
What's more, now Raven wants him to "feed" this freak.
Raven would not change his plan just because of William's attitude.
Raven has personally experienced the effect of the Silent Sarcophagus and knows how powerful it is.
He himself will not continue to plow further on this path, or inherit Kuili's legacy, and also engage in such unjust things, but since there is already something ready-made, there is no reason not to use it stand up.
Taking out a talisman from the storage ring, Raven handed it to William.
"Is this what you studied in the carriage before?" William took the amulet with both hands, and a trace of blood could be found in it, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It turns out to be this kind of magic."
"This is much more complicated than the Silent Barrier, and how did you get it?"
Leaven smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, this It’s still about you.”
"But this is not the point. I want to ask, if I want to recreate this kind of magic on this sarcophagus, and you are responsible for maintaining it, how much blood energy will be needed?"
"If you don't die, how much blood energy will you need? At least 30, uh no, 25 people." William said.
"I will give you 50 people." Raven said decisively: "Choose from those prisoners who were used as laborers."
William was overjoyed: "Yes, master!"
Right here At that moment, the felt curtain at the door suddenly opened, and a ray of sunlight penetrated, burning William and causing him to immediately shrink aside.
Eric strode in, his big and small eyes screwed together:
"Sir, urgent military situation!"
"The 70,000-strong army of the Principality of Eivor is approaching and sighing at the high wall!"
