Chapter 196: Lich Life Box Black Spirit Pond
“Master, Your Majesty summons you to the palace urgently!”
The housekeeper hurried into the study and said to Benik.
Benik narrowed his eyes and said slowly:
"Is there any news from the Blood Demon?"
The butler shook his head: "Not yet, but I guess we should have succeeded, otherwise His Majesty would not have summoned you urgently at this time."
Benik thought for a moment, stood up, and ordered:< br>
"Send someone to quietly go to the hunting garden to ensure the success of the plan."
"Yes!"
The housekeeper nodded.
Benik mounted his horse and headed to the royal court, surrounded by many guards.
While passing by the door of the Duke's Palace, he happened to see Duke Levis who had just gone out.
Duke Levis is 70 years old this year, but because his strength has reached the level of a high-level knight, he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, wearing blue clothes, elegant and handsome, with a middle-aged look. The charm of young men.
"Benik, you have also been summoned by His Majesty."
Levis rode on horseback and approached Benik with a faint smile. The many guards took a look and obediently made way for a passage. .
"Your Majesty the Duke~"
Benik nodded slightly politely and with a hint of respect. Although he is the finance minister and is in charge of the empire's finances, in the Shenyao Empire, ministers can be changed at will, but the title But it won't.
Currently there are only two dukes in the Shenyao Empire, one is Marshal Wellington and the other is Levis.
Therefore, within the empire, the status of Duke Levis was only lower than that of Peter the Great and Marshal Wellington.
“Since we meet by chance, let’s go together.”
Levis gently tapped the horse's belly with his foot, then controlled the reins and rushed towards the royal court.
“Okay.”
Benik had no doubts and followed closely behind Levis.
Not long after, Levis and Benik arrived at the royal court. After the guards took the horses away, the two went to the study under the leadership of the guards.
Generally, Peter the Great summoned his ministers here.
After entering the study, Benik's eyes changed slightly, because in addition to Peter the Great, Wellington, Muller, Su Mo and Hyde were also present.
Wellington and Muller were fine, but Benik was still wary of the strangers in the upper world.
"Sit down first!"
Peter the Great pointed to the seat next to him, with no emotion visible on his expression.
Benik sat down quietly. Soon after, several counts, marquises, and important ministers arrived one after another. These people were all the mainstays of the empire.
"Everyone is here!"
Peter the Great waved his hand and asked the guards to close the door. Then he glanced around and slowly said:
"Just now, Mr. Su Mo was waiting The spaceship on which the people were traveling was attacked by a large group of men in black. "
What!
Hearing the news, everyone in the room was shocked.
"Your Majesty, what's the result?"
A minister asked extremely nervously, with cold sweat clearly breaking out on his forehead.
Benik also looked at Peter the Great pretending to be nervous, but there was a sinister smile in his heart.
In his opinion, since Peter the Great called all the important ministers to the study, there must be something extremely important to announce. If the spacecraft was fine, he would definitely not have mobilized such a force.
The Blood Demon has succeeded.
"The result..."
Peter the Great turned to look at Benik, his eyes were deep, and he said lightly:
"Benik, what do you hope the result will be?"
Hearing this, Benik's face changed slightly.
The other important ministers also looked at Peter the Great in confusion, not understanding why he asked such a question.
"Your Majesty, of course I hope that the guest's spaceship is safe~"
Benik said cautiously, while secretly glancing at the expressions of Su Mo and Haide, and his heart sank.
No, they are too calm.
Through the observation at the dinner, Benike had a certain understanding of Su Mo and Haide.
Su Mo is mature and steady, and may be able to keep his joy hidden, but it is impossible for Hyde to be so calm after the spacecraft is destroyed.
The spaceship was not destroyed, the Blood Demon failed!
But what disturbed him most was why Peter the Great asked questions about him.
Could it be that you have been exposed?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Benik denies this idea. He has always been cautious and leaves all arrangements to the butler Sau. Even the Blood Demon does not know that the real controller of the Blood God Society is him, the Imperial Finance Minister. .
As long as nothing happens to the housekeeper Sau, he cannot be exposed.
Peter the Great glanced at him indifferently, and then looked at Su Mo:
"Mr. Su Mo, I will trouble you next."
"Yes!"
Su Mo nodded, controlled the optical brain, and projected a full system projection.
When the holographic projection appeared, the ministers present were shocked. They had never seen such a thing before.
After the surprise, it turned into curiosity.
The scene turned and a familiar face appeared on the screen.
"This is not..."
Everyone looked at Benike, because it was his face on the screen.
At this moment, Benik's face changed drastically and he looked at the screen in disbelief.
"Inform the Blood Demon to take people to the Hunting Garden tonight and destroy the rare object guarded by the Guards."
"Yes~"
"Humph, the upper realm!"
The scene stopped abruptly, but at this moment, all the important ministers suddenly stood up and looked at Benik with great anger.
"Benik, it turns out that you are the mastermind behind the Blood God Society!"
Duke Levis looked at Benik with cold eyes.
"Asshole, it turns out that my brother was killed by you."
An important minister roared and was about to rush towards Benik, but was stopped in time by someone around him.
Of course they are not trying to protect Benik, but they know that how to deal with Benik must be decided by His Majesty himself.
At this time, Benik looked at Su Mo with gloomy eyes and said in a low and hoarse voice:
“When did you doubt me?”
He knew very well that this miraculous method must be A stranger from the upper world.
At this point, he no longer needs to defend himself, but he really wants to know how the other party came to suspect him.
He didn't talk much at the banquet, so it was impossible for him to reveal any flaws.
"It's very simple~"
Su Mo smiled slightly: "Because I have a pair of eyes that can see through people's souls. I saw at the first glance that Finance Minister Benik was dead, and the person who controls his body now, A powerful lich, am I right, Mr. Lich? "
Lich?
The people in the room looked at each other. They had never heard of this species on this continent.
At this time, when Su Mo pointed out his true identity, Benik's face finally showed a touch of shock and panic.
He knows who I am.
Damn, damn the stranger from the upper world!
"In addition, I am certain that the mastermind behind the White Walker Rebellion is none other than Mr. Lich."
A faint voice sounded in the study room, like a heavy hammer, It struck everyone's heart.
Benik, is not only the leader of the Blood God Society, but also the mastermind behind the White Walker Rebellion?
God, what have we been doing during this time?
Everyone, including Peter the Great, looked shocked and angry.
The enemy is hiding under the nose and getting along with everyone day and night, but no one realizes that he is no longer the Benik he was before.
When he thought that he had personally handed over the most important financial power of the empire into the hands of his enemies, Peter the Great felt that his face was almost swollen.
"Mr. Su Mo, please help me arrest this person." Peter the Great said angrily.
Crash~
A golden chain suddenly appeared and wrapped Benik into a rice dumpling.
But at this moment, the panic on Benik's face disappeared, replaced by extreme indifference and coldness.
“Su Mo!”
Benik took a deep look at Su Mo and said sadly:
"We will meet again soon."
After saying that, Benik's eyes quickly lost their look and he collapsed to the ground.
Levis quickly stepped forward, checked Benik's body, and finally shook his head and said: "He is dead."
"What, he is dead now?"
Suddenly, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
This kind of silent death is really unheard of.
"Mr. Su Mo, what is going on?" Peter the Great couldn't help but ask.
Now, he has too much confusion in his heart.
What exactly is a lich?
How did Benik come under the control of the lich?
Was the Lich dead just now, or had he escaped?
Su Mo pondered for a moment and said slowly:
“First of all, let me explain what a lich is.”
“A lich is the necromancer’s A form in which they possess the evil dark force and can command dark creatures or directly use undead magic."
"Benik must have been possessed by the lich's undead magic before he was killed. It infects the soul and eventually controls the body, so the real Benik is already dead.”
"In addition, all lichs have a phylactery, which stores their life essence. As long as the phylactery is not broken, they will never die." Never die!
Hearing the last few words, everyone present was shocked, and a chill rose from the spine and went straight to the top of the head.
How terrifying is an enemy who is powerful and will never die~
"Mr. Su Mo, how can we find the Lich Life Box?"
Marshal Wellington asked urgently.
"Well, I'm sorry, I have never met a lich. I got the information about lich from others."
Su Mo shook his head and said : "The Lich will definitely hide the phylactery in the place he thinks is the safest, but the range is too wide and it is difficult to judge."
The sacred mark left on Benik before, because he The death dissipates directly and cannot be traced.
However, he has made up his mind that if he can see the true form of the Lich next time, he will deliberately let him go after leaving the sacred mark to see if he can follow the clues and find the life box.
Although the lich can rely on the phylactery to be resurrected many times, each time it is resurrected, its strength will decrease. Therefore, if there is a chance to escape, he will not directly annihilate his soul like he did just now.
After hearing that even the knowledgeable Mr. Su Mo could not find the Lich Life Box, everyone in the room couldn't help but look disappointed or even desperate.
"What's wrong with you?"
At this time, Hyde scratched his head and said with some confusion: "It's just a lich, is it necessary to be so scared?"
"Hyde~"
Mueller said bitterly: "Mr. Su Mo just said that as long as the life box is not destroyed, the lich will never die. In this vast world, where do you want us to find the life box?"
"This is my hand. "Give it to me."
Hide patted his chest and promised, "I'm lucky, I can usually find what I'm looking for."
Hearing this, everyone just shook their heads helplessly. shook his head.
Who knows whether the life box is buried in the land, the river or the sea.
If you rely solely on luck to find the life box, what year and month will you find it?
Hyde, a little too naive.
Do you rely on luck~
Su Mo raised his eyebrows. Relying on luck to find the life box sounds like a fantasy, but when it comes to Hyde, it is actually a very high probability event. .
Ou Huang, jumping off a cliff to pick up secret books, meeting a supporter on the verge of death, missing a wife in a desperate situation, any number of outrageous things may happen.
It doesn't matter if you find a broken box.
"Everyone, listen to me."
Su Mo said warmly: "Since I have accepted Hyde's money, I will definitely help the Shenyao Empire completely eliminate the lich."
"Although the phylactery is difficult to find, don't forget that we still have all kinds of high-tech tools in our hands."
That's right!
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Now, they have seen the horror of the spaceship and the magic of holographic projection.
For the word "high technology" in Su Mo's mouth, a kind of mysterious trust suddenly arises. It seems that all difficulties can be solved by high technology.
"Mr. Su Mo, I'll leave it to you from now on."
Peter the Great stood up and then bowed to Su Mo in public.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of the others opened slightly, but no one thought this bow was inappropriate.
Although His Majesty is the lord of the empire and has a noble status, he still carries the future of the empire and the lives of hundreds of millions of the empire's people on his shoulders.
For the sake of the empire and the people, this bow is not shameful.
"Your Majesty Peter, please get up quickly."
Su Mo helped Peter up and said, "Since I have accepted this task, I will definitely go all out."
>
"Besides, even if there is no mission, I will not tolerate a lich massacring my fellow humans in the universe."
This last sentence immediately resonated with everyone in the room.
From the beginning to the end, Mr. Su Mo did not have the arrogance or arrogance of the people in the upper world as they imagined, but treated everyone equally and respectfully, treating everyone as fellow human beings, and even helped The empire uncovers Benik, the long-hidden traitor.
For a time, everyone was filled with gratitude and respect for Su Mo, and they did not forget the hero Haide next to them.
Without Hyde’s dedication regardless of reward, Mr. Su Mo would not have been able to come to the Shenyao Empire.
After the matter is over, be sure to give them a heavy gift to thank them for everything they have done for the empire.
"Everyone, although Benik is dead, we must not slack off because of this."
Su Mo said seriously: "Strengthen the guards, the war will come soon."
< br>He remembered the gloomy words Benik said before he fell.
“Su Mo, we will meet again soon.”
The Lich's revenge is likely to come soon, and the empire must prepare in advance.
"I'll make arrangements."
Marshal Wellington did not hesitate. With Peter's permission, he took Muller out of the royal court and went to the military camp to take charge.
Su Mo’s prediction was correct, the Lich’s revenge came very quickly.
…………
"Su Mo~~"
A hoarse voice came from the chest, blue fire jumped in the Lich's eye sockets, and murderous intent boiled in his soul.
Although there is only a soul-split species in Benik's mind, losing it will have a considerable impact on himself.
What's more important is that after Benik's nail in the enemy's heart is removed, he will no longer be able to take the lead in future wars with the Shenyao Empire.
These are all given by Su Mo and those strangers from the upper world!
"Just wait, I will kill you today."
The lich stood up with murderous intent and walked towards the hinterland of the complicated and winding cave.
Through a series of observations and intelligence, he has learned about the combat capabilities of each of these six strangers.
Hyde, Peggy, and Frank, although their combat systems are rather weird, their strengths are at the level of knight commanders.
Mundo and Walnut, these two are undoubtedly very powerful beings among the great knight captains, and can easily kill the death knight.
However, the two's fighting style is simple and crude, so it is not difficult to restrain them.
Now, the only uncertain factor is Su Mo.
This person has never made a move from beginning to end, his ability and strength are unknown.
But since he can suppress Mundo and Hutao, it means that his strength is definitely higher than the two of them, but he has not reached the level of natural disaster level.
As long as there are no natural disasters, he, the lich Caspeo, has no fear at all.
Following the winding, rugged, and extremely complicated tunnel all the way down, the Lich finally came to a huge open space.
The stalactite forest hangs upside down above the head, like sharp swords. There is a black pool in the center. The dark mist escapes from the pool, exuding an evil, gloomy and fearful atmosphere.
With the water pool as the center, complex and mysterious patterns are drawn on the ground, forming a magic array. At every node of the array, there is a small box, several in number. Ten.
Hundreds of human corpses are scattered in the formation. Their skin is blue and black, and their bodies are slightly swollen. However, if a professional intelligence officer who is familiar with the major forces came here, he would be so frightened that he would break out in cold sweat.
Because, these people are all famous knight commander level experts in a certain place.
In the Shenyao Empire, there are very few powerful men at the level of Grand Knight Commander. Currently, there is only one Marshal Wellington. Therefore, Knight Commander is definitely the top combat power.
Anyone who can reach the level of Knight Commander is either a high-ranking official, holds an important position in the empire, or is a dominant figure in a certain area.
And here, the corpses of hundreds of knight commanders are actually gathered, which is really frightening.
There is no doubt that these are the masterpieces of the Blood God Society.
With the support of large sums of money, the Blood God Society recruits many desperadoes and assigns them tasks to kill imperial dignitaries and many knight captains.
The Knight Commander's assassination targets are not limited to the Shenyao Empire, but can also be from other countries, but the integrity of the corpse must be ensured as much as possible.
A few years later, the Blood God Society killed hundreds of knight commanders. In the end, all the corpses were secretly sent to the Black Spirit Pond to become reserve resources for refining death knights.
“It’s begun~”
The lich’s eye sockets were filled with soul fire. He took out a small exquisite pot from his wide robe and pulled out the mouth of the bottle. Suddenly, the soul energy poured out like a flood, crazy. Flowing into the Black Spirit Pond.
GuduGudu~~
The water in the pool began to boil, with small bubbles popping out.
The Lich raised his skeleton arm, and the dark power of the undead shot out from his palm and penetrated into the Black Spirit Pond.
Soon, under the control of the lich, several water columns flew out of the pool and landed on the eight corpses.
The dark pool water enveloped the corpse, like a black coffin. The magic lines on the ground glowed with light. The power of the soul and the pure dark power of the Black Spirit Pool were refined by the magic array. It flowed into the corpse smoothly and harmoniously, causing it to undergo some magical changes.
Half an hour later, the eight death knights opened their eyes at the same time. There were no pupils, but two burning blue soul fires.
Kakakka~~
The death knights stood up stiffly, and then half-knelt in front of the lich, with a sense of surrender exuding from their souls.
The Lich nodded slightly with satisfaction. The eight death knights, plus himself, were enough to crush the four great knight captains Su Mo, Mundo, Hutao, and Wellington.
Originally, he wanted to boil a frog in warm water, drain out the elite power of the Shenyao Empire little by little, and at the same time strengthen his own strength, preferably to accumulate the power of terror that swept the continent.
In this way, even if all human empires unite, they will not be his opponent.
However, there is no time to wait any longer.
We must break through Lingdong City, kill all the aliens in the upper world, and destroy the spaceship. We must not let them call for reinforcements again.
The soul energy in the small pot still poured into the Black Spirit Pond continuously. The water in the pond exploded, and the water dropped on the magic circle, quickly transforming into a strange ghost.
The White Walkers have no soul. They are formed by the dark force of the Black Spirit Pond, as well as the catalysis of soul energy and magic circles.
As long as there is enough soul energy, Black Spirit Pond can breed White Walkers endlessly.
The soul energy of an ordinary soldier can produce three ordinary White Walkers, not to mention junior knights and intermediate knights.
This is also the reason why the number of White Walkers is increasing no matter how they die.
After the White Walkers were born, they walked along the tunnel under the command of the Lich.
In the end, hundreds of thousands of White Walkers gathered in the underground passage with complex environment.
The Lich did not spawn more White Walkers because he knew that under the threat of that spaceship, no matter how many White Walkers there were, they would not have much effect.
The real winner still depends on himself and the eight death knights around him.
"Su Mo, a stranger from the upper world~"
The soul fire burned in the Lich's eye sockets, and the black mist lingering around him became more intense.
"You all must die!!!"
