Chapter 1716: The Lord of the Dead
"Hahaha!"
In an alchemy laboratory on the outskirts of the City of Miracles, a white-haired alchemist wearing thick glasses laughed with a devilish laugh.
"I knew that the evil god's touch could withstand them!"
"Look, my miracle medicine was successfully refined!"
The white-haired alchemist laughed loudly, holding a glass bottle full of purple potion and bubbles in the shape of a human face in both hands, and his body trembled with excitement.
Behind him, the twelve alchemist apprentices stared at the potion tremblingly, their eyes unpredictable.
"Now is the time to witness the miracle!"
The white-haired alchemist was very satisfied with his work. He raised the potion bottle high and opened his mouth as if he was ready to be the first to try the medicine.
The two alchemist apprentices behind him saw this scene, their eyelids jumped, and instinctively rushed over to stop the teacher's behavior.
"Teacher, no!"
"Teacher, let the white ape try the medicine first."
"Yes, teacher, don't rush this moment!"
"Bah!"
The white-haired alchemist wanted to struggle, but he was only a first-level extraordinary. His strength was not higher than that of the apprentices who were also only first-level extraordinary. He could not get away for a while and could only watch the medicine bottle being taken away.
"You prodigals, do you know how expensive the evil god organ is?"
"I saved the funds from above for three months to exchange for this evil god organ!"
Speaking of this, the white-haired alchemist felt more and more distressed and had difficulty breathing.
His apprentice firmly held the medicine bottle and walked towards a magic circle. After whispering a few spells, a white light flashed and a cage appeared in front of everyone.
In the cage, a white ape was imprisoned.
This white ape came from the Wild Beast Continent. Because it has a physique that absorbs and transforms the efficacy of the medicine, it is favored by many alchemists.
So they directly asked the Great Emperor of Wild Beasts to be the intermediary, contacted the local white ape tribe leader, and legally ordered batches of white apes from them as test subjects.
Such behavior would definitely be considered illegal and immoral on the Blue Water Star.
In Lilliput, it is already a rare reasonable and legal behavior.
Let alone the White Ape Tribe, even many human tribes and even kingdoms buy and sell their own people who have been reduced to slaves. What's wrong with that?
Lilliput does have this concept of human rights.
However, only those with noble blood, those born extraordinary, or those who have opportunities and potential can have human rights.
Others... don't count.
Although the apprentices of the white-haired alchemist wear apprentice hats, in fact, each of them has followed the teacher for at least ten years.
If they are released outside, they can at least take on an ordinary alchemy laboratory on their own.
The reason why they are still here is that they want to learn more knowledge from the teacher, and on the other hand, they are divided into a group by the official and enjoy high resource compensation.
They don't think they can get the same treatment if they leave here and go to other places.
Therefore, they are reluctant to let the teacher who leads the team have problems.
Especially when this teacher, although knowledgeable, sometimes has a brain problem.
A bottle of precious purple potion was injected into the white ape.
A few seconds later.
The white ape's eyes suddenly widened, and a touch of gold flashed in his blood-red eyes.
Then, the aura of this white ape suddenly soared from the first-level extraordinary entry stage to the peak of the first-level extraordinary!
A few seconds passed.
Bang!
A strong wind rolled up in the prison, and a wave of air gushed out invisibly. The white ape climbed up, and the aura coming out of his body suddenly reached the level of a second-level knight!
"Oh my God, the threshold of the first and second levels was just crossed like this?"
An apprentice who was testing the medicine was slightly startled and exclaimed.
The white-haired alchemist was dancing with joy:
"I knew I was right! Hahaha, my miracle medicine... succeeded!"
"My laboratory will become the first laboratory in the City of Miracles!"
"I will spread the word, I will make all the old guys jealous of me!"
The white-haired alchemist shouted.
The oldest apprentice frowned slightly and warned:
"Wait a minute, I don't think it's that simple!"
"We are not the first team to use the evil god's organs for alchemy. If the miracle medicine is so easy to make... the great knights can form an independent army, right?"
Although in a sense, the second-level extraordinary in the City of Miracles can already form an independent army.
But let's put aside the incredible place of the City of Miracles.
Looking at the history of the entire Lilliputian country.
The second-level extraordinary is already the backbone of a place.
One person is enough to support a family for hundreds of years without ruin.
Put it on the Lost Continent, how can it be regarded as the end of the first echelon? Look at this continent when the City of Miracles did not appear.
There were only a handful of Level 3 experts, and there were less than 20 to 30 of them, including the pseudo Level 3 experts.
Level 2 extraordinary experts were already among the top 100!
Woo woo woo!
The white ape just opened its mouth and showed its fangs, glaring at the alchemist apprentices.
Suddenly, it cried out in pain, and then its mouth opened wider and wider, and a large number of flesh whiskers as thick as fingers crawled out of its throat, and then rushed out of its mouth desperately!
There were so many whiskers that they pushed the white ape's mouth to the limit, causing the lips to crack and bleed.
The blood seemed to stimulate the whiskers, causing them to shake wildly and speed up their creeping speed.
At the same time, the alchemist apprentices outside were stunned to see purple tumors bulging on the back of the white ape, and some of the tumors immediately broke open, revealing worm-like blood vessels.
Then, these blood vessels and the whiskers seemed to be in a hostile relationship. After breaking out of the body, they entangled with each other as soon as they met, biting each other continuously, and the scene was extremely bloody for a while.
"It has changed."
"It feels like it has been contaminated by the evil god, but there is no evil god's spiritual power."
"After all, it is a trading item that has been purified by the Three Goddesses, so this safety can still be guaranteed."
"In other words, it is the teacher's potion that activated the dormant or even dead evil god substances in the organs?"
"... This possibility cannot be ruled out."
The apprentices discussed in a low voice.
The white-haired alchemist looked at the miserable state of the white ape and was stunned for a moment, but he was not worried at all that he almost became such a ghost just now.
He touched his chin and muttered to himself:
"How could it be, my idea is perfect, is there a problem with the ratio?"
"No, no, I have to think about it carefully, damn, why is the evil god organ so expensive!"
The white-haired alchemist just finished shouting this.
Suddenly, there was a beeping sound from the laboratory.
Then, someone knocked on the door.
When the apprentices saw that it was the black guards, they hurriedly opened the door.
So, more than a dozen black guards filed in, and after looking at the white-haired alchemist, the leader took out a parchment scroll:
"Seventh-level alchemist Bonn?"
"I am Bonn, but I think I am not a seventh-level, but an eighth-level alchemist!"
The white-haired alchemist frowned and replied when he heard this.
The apprentices around him lowered their heads when they heard this, and did not dare to agree with their teacher in front of the black guards.
The black guard holding the parchment scroll hesitated for a moment, but still handed it to the Bonn alchemist.
Then he said:
"This is a decree personally issued by the great son of God."
"You only have ten minutes to prepare."
Hearing this, the white-haired alchemist was slightly startled and surprised:
"Is this a conscription?"
Seeing that the black guard remained silent, the white-haired alchemist grumbled in dissatisfaction, and after opening the parchment scroll, his expression changed instantly.
"Your Highness is willing to do this?"
"Hahaha, I support Your Highness 100% in doing this!"
"Need an alchemist to identify the items? Your Highness has found the right person. I was also... cough cough."
The white-haired alchemist suddenly realized something when he said this, and quickly coughed a few times, then named the two apprentices, asked them to accompany him, and then asked the black guard to take him away quickly.
After a while, several apprentices who watched the teacher leave the laboratory laughed bitterly:
"Without the teacher, we can't complete any alchemy tasks above level 4. What can we do?"
"There is no way. This is the will of His Highness the Son of God...but."
"But what?"
"Don't you think the potion that the teacher made is actually very interesting?"
"...Do you have money to buy the evil god organ?"
"That's not the case."
"But we still have a test product, right? Researching it may give us unimaginable knowledge?"
"Perhaps, we can use this to apply for a research project. If it is approved, we don't need to buy the evil god organ ourselves, right?"
"This...Okay, anyway, we are free."
The other apprentices were convinced and nodded in agreement.
The white-haired alchemist Bonn didn't know that his apprentices were already looking for new research topics.
He was very excited along the way, which made the two apprentices behind him very confused.
But soon, the two apprentices were no longer confused.
Because as they arrived at the magnificent palace hall and met many colleagues.
They participated in a banquet hosted by His Highness the Son of God.
At the opening ceremony of the banquet, relevant information was mentioned, which solved the doubts of the apprentices.
It turned out that the great His Highness the Son of God was finally interested in the tombs and ruins of the Undead Lords on various continents.
He wanted to dig graves not only in the sphere of influence.
He also wanted to dig graves outside the sphere of influence!
It is called: prevent danger in advance.
Because the tombs or ruins of the Undead Lords often hide some secret clues or arrangements of the Valley of the Dead.
For example, the ruins of the Undead Lord in the Lost Continent have a teleportation array waiting for the Lord to return again.
Of course, the Lord probably had an accident and has not been able to come back for a thousand years, so that the loyal lich had to wait until he had to petrify himself.
Alas, in general, the existence of these ruins and tombs is too dangerous for the creatures on those continents. They are time bombs!
As a force on the side of justice, the City of Miracles saw the danger of these things, so how could it not take action?
Not long after Xiao Yu held a mobilization meeting.
The Shadow World, one of the ten forbidden-level forces, soon learned about it.
The Mother of Shadows immediately sold the news.
As a result, the Valley of the Dead also learned about this news.
In the Valley of the Dead, in the Plain of Bones.
On the vast variety of bones, stands a castle made of obsidian.
The owner of the castle, the Lord of Bones, is using the wizard's hand to micro-carve spells for a giant skeleton.
Under the Lord of Bones' skillful hands, every bone of the 100-meter-tall humanoid skeleton giant is carved with at least 100 spells.
The bone giant has 3,500 bones.
That's 350,000 spells!
It is estimated that only the undead warriors in the Valley of the Dead have the time and leisure to do this.
The Lord of Bones had just finished carving the calf bone, and his body suddenly paused.
The next second, the eyes of the 20-meter-tall black iron puppet where the Lord was hiding flashed green ghost fire.
"The son of God in the City of Miracles... is he crazy?"
"The Queen of the Abyss is still thinking about him, and he is going to be our enemy?"
"This guy..."
The Lord of Bones whispered a few times, and when he waved his hand, mirrors appeared all around.
The appearances of various undead lords emerged in the mirrors.
Some were liches that had lived for thousands of years.
Some were ghost dragons transformed from the ancestors of the dragon clan.
You can even see undead angel zombies.
It can be said that some strong people among the living also exist in the world of the dead.
Even some extinct beings in the world of the living still exist in the world of the undead.
For example, the Lord of Bones himself is a lord who was transformed from the undead of a giant of a certain tribe that had been exterminated.
And his tribe was slaughtered by himself after he became undead, and then the whole tribe and his former relatives were refined into white bone giant toys.
And such behavior is actually very normal in the undead system.
The undead originally hate all living beings, especially... those of the same kind as themselves, and they hate them even more.
The reason why the Valley of the Dead can live in peace with other forces is that their fists are not strong enough, and the high-level undead have also become rational and learned to compromise.
The undead in the real world also hate living beings. If it weren't for Xiao Yu's mental restraint from the beginning.
I'm afraid that Shuilan Star would have been in chaos long ago!
"What do you think?"
The White Bone Lord waited for all the Lords in the mirror to appear and asked in a deep voice.
The Lords were silent about this.
After a long time, a ghost dragon spoke:
"The Son of God will lead the team in this operation."
"You know, although the Son of God is only a Morning Star Knight, it is rumored that he has dozens of world wonders to help him, and at least two Shining Moon Divine Weapons!"
"We also have Shining Moon Divine Weapons in the Valley of the Dead!"
"But this means that we cannot catch the Son of God unless we go out in full force!"
"If we cannot catch him, it means that we will face an endless war in the City of Miracles next!"
When the Lord of Bones heard this, he snorted: "The undead have never been afraid of war."
"Yes, we are not afraid of war."
A spider banshee screamed:
"But It can't be now!"
"The opponent can't be the City of Miracles... We don't know if the other party's supplies are really endless, but judging from the tip of the iceberg that has been revealed so far, I am a little worried that our Valley of the Dead will be dragged down first!"
"However, we don't have to sit and wait for death."
"Oh?"
"As far as I know... the more Abyss continents the Queen of the Abyss conquers, the more she is affected by the will of the Abyss and full of resentment towards the Son of God."
"We... can reveal this information to the other party."
"So what, the Queen of the Abyss cannot break the seal unless she unifies the Abyss."
"Hehehe, that's just that her real body can't come out!"
