The Ghost Staff Mage is a special branch of the Necromancer.

On the path of the Necromancer, there are many people who lose their nature in pursuit of the truth and take the initiative to become undead creatures, that is, lichs after death; only a few strong-willed people can maintain themselves and never abuse their power. Most of them will

Become a Necromancer. Liches associate with despicable people, but the Necromancer can occupy a position at the top of the Magician Union and speak out on behalf of the Necromancer. This shows that the Necromancer is the orthodox one.[]

Some necromancers are completely different from the above two, preferring to sacrifice for power (you know, for mages, "truth" and "power" are sometimes easily confused), and are cruel to themselves. They are looking for

The remains of powerful undead creatures, because the remains that can be left behind after dissipating are the parts where the magic essence is gathered, such as "holy bones", which are priceless treasures; then, they will merge the remains with their bodies into one,

Simultaneously increasing magic power and muscle strength, in exchange for a combat mode that transcends the boundaries between mages and warriors, that is, "double cultivation of magic and martial arts". Ordinary magic wands are no longer suitable for their use, and only heavy ghost wands are their favorite.

Here I have to introduce the so-called "ghost wand". Its official name is "cursed wand". Its main material is a whole cold smoke elder tree branch, and the outside is plated with a layer of mithril, a layer of obsidian powder and a layer of purple.

Crystal sand. A powerful sealing magic circle is often engraved on it. The user will seal the souls of the wronged in it to enhance the power of the spell. Therefore, the stick body appears black and blue and often makes crying sounds. The identity of the inventor of the ghost stick has long been unknown.

But he is undoubtedly great, because this ghost staff has spread all over the world and has become a universal equipment for ghost staff wizards. It contains soul and is itself a low-level soul equipment, which can greatly increase the user's soul power (

Spiritual power), reduces the chance of magic backlash when casting spells, adds a powerful curse to physical attacks, and can create a small undead paradise just by inserting it into the ground, allowing ghost staff wizards to leapfrog challenges. But if you are a non-ghost staff wizard

If a person holds a ghost staff, all their vitality will be sucked out, and their soul will be entangled with the staff, unable to escape, and become its new victim.

Ghost staff mages are famous for their outstanding fighting prowess. They are imbued with the energy of death and have a cold and cruel personality. They are the law enforcers of the Dark Church. When executing criminals, they only need one staff, and one staff is enough to maim them. They can compete with the judgment of the Holy See.

The knights fought equally well. Although they were rarely used, their reputation spread far and wide.

"Ghost sticks, souls, darkness, undead... and some guys who are not worthy of mentioning. I have heard of this organization, the Dark Church. I had a teammate who was a visiting professor there before. Dark elemental life, in black magic,

It's a textbook in this field." After listening to Perls' introduction, Qingyi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it seems that this person named Rasputin is very suspicious."

Perls sat opposite Qingyi, with his head slightly lowered: "The other party has a large number of people, but our manpower is increasingly insufficient, so I have never pursued it."

Qingyi smiled tolerantly: "I don't blame you for the good things that Justice Dance has done. In addition, even strong dragons don't overwhelm local snakes. They know Astant as well as they did back home, and we really can't break up with them.

Otherwise, I might be caught by the Iron Shoe Knights the next day."

After hearing this, Perls' unnatural expression finally softened. He asked: "Why are you so open-minded? The underworld is a fragment of your soul, and it has quasi-heroic strength. Once sacrificed, it will be a

Big loss.”

"Of course I don't want anything to happen to Hades, but he is still a self-aware clone, and his death is due to his own lack of ability. In addition, I can't put you in danger for the sake of Hades. I'm not saying that 'Everyone's life'

And equal'? The underworld doesn't deserve any special treatment."

"You have interpreted the doctrine wrong. You clearly want to protect the people you know, not everyone. At least you will not protect your enemies." Perls pointed out this point directly.

Qingyi was not angry: "Yes, I still have selfish motives. Although I am currently trying to respect life, I can't help but have the murderous intention in my heart and want to kill all harm in its infancy."

"Are you trying to kill people from the Dark Church?"

"Not at all. There is another person I want to kill, a beast who killed his father and had evil intentions... Let's get back to the topic. How about, when spreading the teachings, did you find the answer?"

…………………………………………

"My name is Pers, and I am willing to be your subordinate, even if the cost is to become an undead creature." He looked up at Qingyi and said word for word: "Please tell me the path I should take."

"How would I know that kind of thing." Qingyi smiled and pressed the bone dragon scepter on Perls' shoulder. This scene was just like the knight's canonization ceremony: the king placed the sword symbolizing burden and glory on the knight's shoulder.

"Not yet. Even the saint who guided me before...the bishop also has his own narrow-mindedness. He believes that undead creatures are the only ones who cannot be saved. If intelligent life still retains selfishness, then this world will be

There can be no equality." Perls sighed, and the six attendants behind him also sighed expressionlessly.

"It doesn't matter, even God can't do this. The Soul God wants to reconcile the conflict between the living and the undead, so he wants to use the ambiguous concept of 'half-dead' to fill the gray area. Only those who believe in the Soul God can

Being able to maintain the form of a semi-dead spirit is also very narrow in itself - 'Those who believe in me will be saved', but those who don't believe in me will die?" Qingyi shrugged: "I think that a god like the God of Death who does not need faith,

Only in this way can all living beings be given equality. After everyone died, he also died, carrying the spirit of equality into his home."

"But aren't half-dead creatures the most perfect life? They not only have feelings, but also have an endless lifespan. Logically speaking, everyone is willing to believe in the soul god and get the body of this immortal. As long as all

People have a long life, social form, and national consciousness will definitely change accordingly, then there will no longer be a privileged class, there will no longer be a gap between rich and poor, and no one will have to be sacrificed." Perls insisted.

.

Qingyi pointed to the bronze scripture on the table: "I remember a sentence in it: 'Because people can think and speak, there is no equality. Your equality is not the equality of others; the equality of others is not your equality.'

.Maybe you think it’s a wonderful thing for everyone to become a half-dead creature, but have you ever thought about it, is it wonderful for them? Is it fair to forcefully change their race?”

Pers was silent for a while and whispered: "Yes, it's not fair."

"I can kill all enemies and turn them into undead creatures. They still retain the memories of their lives and know who killed them. The reason why they don't hold a grudge against me is because: I am the King of the Undead! I

Depriving them of their emotions and thinking ability, I knead them like dough and shape them into the kind of people I want. This is not fair, but I can brainwash them and make them feel fair. They will be grateful to me.

They will worship me, and they want to hang my portrait in their home. Is this fair? No! There will still be outsiders who observe everything calmly and laugh at my tyranny until the bystanders also become citizens.

Until now, the world has been unequal."

Qingyi pointed to himself: "Both I and the Soul God are a privileged class that can create rules. Only by being above us can we create a false and ethereal world of equality. Once we lose us, the world will

All kinds of disputes have arisen, and so-called equality can no longer be maintained. To put it simply, we are farmers, and our daily work is to give feed to the livestock and give them equality in restraint. You think you are doing a good deed to make people equal,

In fact, you are just a sheepdog that herds the world for the farmer. Your thoughts are instilled by the owner, not your own. Therefore, if you want to pursue true equality, you cannot believe in God and you cannot be loyal.

For everyone, equality must start with oneself before it can be extended to others."

Perls's face changed. He stared at Qingyi for a long time with a look that doubted life. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he shouted: "Yes! You are right! Although it sounds like every word is blaspheming the doctrine,

But it is the truth! This spirit of doubt is the pillar that will bring about the downfall of the privileged class! Thank you, Lord Son of God, for solving the problem that I have been puzzled by. People will never be equal, and maybe there will be in the future.

One day, but that may not be a good thing for all life."

"Why do you still call me Lord Shenzi? This status is inherently a privileged class." Qingyi said with a smile.

"Because your soul is worthy of respect, until I find the ultimate truth, you will always be my Son of God." Perls stood up hurriedly and saluted Qingyi, unable to conceal his excitement. The six attendants behind him also had expressions of emotion.

Expressively, they all saluted.

Qingyi raised his hand and motioned for Perls to sit down: "So, do you still pursue equality for everyone?"

"Yes, I want to try it first. This world is wrong, then I will build a brand new country. There may be a hierarchy, but no matter what class, their rights and responsibilities are equal, there is no privileged class

.Some people are responsible for joining the army, some are responsible for farming, some are responsible for doing business... Everyone has to work, and the more you work, the more you get."

"The more you work, the more you pay, is equal?" Qingyi smiled half-heartedly.

"If you play the role of a parasite in the collective and just hope to get something for nothing, then this kind of person is more hateful than the privileged class. Of course this is unfair to him, but if you tolerate him, it will be unfair to the entire society." Perls said one word.

One sentence, quite prudent and authentic: "Fairness must be based on universal standards. Anyone who wants to be equal must bring himself closer to universal standards, rather than letting universal standards approach him."

"It sounds like an institutional society. Isn't that what my Twilight Empire is like? 'The strong is respected', no matter how it sounds, it goes further and further away from 'everyone is equal'. I always feel that you are planning to use obscurantist policies to achieve this."

Equality restricts the people within the system. After all, alien creatures may do a better job than us. Admittedly, it sounds very good, and it seems that the division of labor is clear, but sooner or later this universal value will be distorted

." Qingyi shook his scepter and showed the huge "Death Star Crystal": "The nobles gradually became greedy for life and feared death. Instead of fulfilling their obligations to join the army, they forced civilians to undergo military service and military training; civil servants would not try their best to serve the people, but would use their power for personal gain and engage in corruption.

Fraud. The rules you set will always be found and distorted, even if your starting point is good. In addition, after the birth of the privileged class, the people at the bottom became increasingly dissatisfied and even rebelled, wanting to overthrow the superstructure. When Sarah Monroe V

The civil strife in China illustrates this point very well. The system collapses and society changes again... Over and over again, I don’t know how long it will take before ‘everyone is equal’.”

Perls immediately took over and said firmly: "But you are different, you are in charge of the Necronomicon Empire. You are an immortal existence, you are with time! As long as you still exist, you can have absolute control over the country

, keep the system running, and always repair loopholes. Human dynasties in history can only last for a few hundred years, but the Twilight Empire will remain in the world forever, for one thousand, two thousand or even tens of thousands of years. In such a long time,

You can definitely create a country where everyone is equal!"

Qingyi was stunned and smiled: "Are you serious? All the undead empires in history have been destined to be destroyed. Am I an exception?"

"You are born to be an exception." Pers did not laugh, but was quite serious.

"Haha, I'm just going to get through it, don't raise my level. Okay, let's go meet our allies, they are also waiting impatiently."
