"It's really disappointing. I made so many moving skeletons. Is it just a magician's trick?"
The nobles who came with the old city lord whispered, and none of them took the thousands of undead in front of them seriously.
In the past, the old city lord would scold them, saying that the people who came from the original path should not be the nobles, but today, he seemed to have not heard of it, all his attention fell on the undead, and there was only one sentence in his mind.
Repeating: Holy corpse! That is the holy corpse!
The old city lord no longer wanted to care about the nobles, so he separated from the crowd with his horse's belly and accelerated his advance.
The noble knight saw the city lord coming with the nobles and hurried over to greet him. However, the old city lord passed by him as if he had not seen him. The humble smile on the noble knight's face froze.
He turned his head blankly to look at the nobles who were chasing him, wanting to ask if he had done something wrong. However, he also saw confusion and eagerness on the nobles' faces.
"Lord City Lord, wait for us!"
The nobles finally couldn't help shouting, but the old city lord in front not only did not slow down, but went faster and faster, directly past the soldiers of Cuisen Mountain City and rushed to the front.
Torento had already seen someone coming down the hillside. He straightened his clothes and was about to step forward when he saw someone rushing from behind to the front.
Are you in such a hurry?
Nobles must maintain their manners.
Now that the other party has arrived, Toronto hurried forward to greet him, shouting, "Toronto, the former Sundeburg Shepherd, has met Lord Cuisen Mountain City."
With the sound of the horse neighing, the old city lord stopped in front of Torento, turned over and dismounted.
"I am Faye, the lord of Cuisen Mountain City, and I have come to pay homage to the holy corpse. Who should I pay homage to?" The old city lord straightened his back and said to Torento with a smile on his face.
The city lord came in person?!
Torento was very surprised. He thought that the other party would think highly of him if he could send a pastor here, but he didn't expect that the city lord would come in person.
The status of Cuisen Mountain City is higher than that of Sundburg, and the status of the city lord is even higher, not much different than that of Lord Zelos Hartman who manages this land.
And he knew someone was behind the holy corpse?
Torento reacted for a moment before he understood what Lord Faye City meant.
They didn't come to see him, but to see Li Ziyu.
Torento took a deep look at Fa Ye. He was worthy of being in charge of the Cuisen Mountain City. He was not even a bit better than the lord of his own city of Sendeborg, so he slightly bent over and made a gesture of invitation.
Faye didn't hesitate at all and strode forward.
"Lord Faye City! No way!"
"Lord City Lord, come back quickly, it's too dangerous."
At this time, the nobles from Cuisen Mountain City behind had just arrived. Seeing their city lord walking towards the other side's camp, they all shouted anxiously.
But the Lord of Faye City still looked deaf and looked forward calmly.
Li Ziyu, who was eating fruit in the Fortress of the Giant Elephant, could not hear the sound in front of him, but he could also understand from Torento's actions that the other party was coming, and ordered the undead not to stop him, but to let the people from Cuisen Mountain City come over.
The undead made way for a direct path to the Fortress of the Giant Elephant, and Torento led the way as usual. The old city master Faye had no intention of being afraid of the undead, and even though he was walking among the undead, he still looked normal.
Because of his childhood experience, he is a person with strong beliefs. Although the appearance of the undead is very scary to most people, for a person with faith like Faye, it seems very kind.
.
Walking among the undead, Fa Ye's body exuded a strange energy fluctuation. The Skeleton Spitters didn't react at all, but the black warriors cast their eyes on Fa Ye.
Fa Ye moved his left hand. There was a gold-plated bracelet on his wrist, which had been passed down from generation to generation in his family. At this time, the bracelet was slightly warm, but not hot. This made Fa Ye even more sure of the skeletons around him.
They are the holy corpses that he has always been thinking about, because there is movement in the family inheritance.
The anticipation in his eyes grew stronger and stronger, and there was a hint of excitement.
Arriving under the Fortress of the Giant Elephant, Torento led Faye to the Fortress of the Giant Elephant.
This is a very novel feeling for Faye. He has never seen such a huge and mobile fortress. People can actually go up there. There are more novel things on it.
Arriving at the fortress where Li Ziyu was, Fa Ye saw the young man sitting at the table, eating fruit and looking at him.
Well...it's different from what I imagined.
In Faye's imagination, the person in charge of the holy corpse, even if it is not a skeleton, must be a resurrected corpse with carrion on the body. How could it be a young human?
"Sir Torento, are you mistaken? What I want to see is the master who leads these holy corpses." Faye turned back and said to Torento in a slightly stern tone.
"Please let me introduce to you. This gentleman is Li Ziyu. Those great holy corpses you saw came exactly in response to his call. The gentleman you want to see is exactly him."
Lento explained calmly.
"Is it really you?" Faye looked at Li Ziyu in disbelief and asked.
Li Ziyu did not speak, but walked forward, took Fa Ye's hand, and looked at the gilt bracelet on his hand, which was emitting a faint light.
This is the same token as the pendant in Toronto, proving that the old man in front of him is a descendant of the undead.
"Your bracelet proves your identity to me." Li Ziyu raised Fa Ye's hand and let him see the bracelet that was emitting a faint light.
Just saying that, I was afraid that the other party would not believe what he said, so Li Ziyu waved to the black warrior next to him and asked them to come over.
With the Black Warrior as proof, Faye believed it just like Torento did at the beginning, and acted honestly in front of Li Ziyu.
Li Ziyu was a little helpless. He felt that it would be better to have fewer such things. Don't just go to a city to get a few dependents and waste time. Going to the royal capital is the most important thing now.

.
What happened next was much easier. With the city lord Fa Ye as the witness, the other nobles could only obey the orders, and the soldiers who were blocking them withdrew, and the undead team entered Cuisen Mountain City in a mighty manner.
Suddenly, a team of thousands of people entered the city, causing onlookers throughout the city. Due to their size, the undead elephants did not follow the team into the city, otherwise the number of onlookers would have been even greater.
The appearance of the undead is very scary, let alone children, even adults will have nightmares at night after seeing it.
They didn't know why these scary guys appeared in the city, but they saw the old city lord, who led the undead in.
But wherever the undead passed by, it would become very quiet. The oppressive feeling from death made people speechless, and they could only pay attention and salute.
Fortunately, under the restraint of Li Ziyu, the undead did not attack anyone and moved forward silently.
The place Faye arranged for the undead was near the temple. There was enough space there, and it was really difficult to find a place that could accommodate thousands of troops elsewhere.
Li Ziyu was quite satisfied with this arrangement. He just wanted to see what the temple in Cuisen Mountain City looked like.
The team passed through the city walls and entered the innermost part.
The innermost part is a castle built on the mountain, owned by the Faye family, called Mountain Castle.
The mountain fort is independent and can be regarded as a city within a city, with all facilities available. It also has an independent defense system and barracks. It is the last line of defense of Cuisen Mountain City.
The temple is located behind the hill fort.
After the undead team was settled, Li Ziyu followed Fa Ye to the Temple of the Dead in Cuishen Mountain City.
The Temple of the Dead here covers an even wider area than the one in Sonderborg, and the architectural style is more rounded and streamlined, unlike normal undead buildings that are serious and angular.
Seeing this temple, Li Ziyu realized a lot in his heart. When the undead clan came to this world, they should not have been one branch, but a mixture of them. That's why he could see the temples of each branch of the undead clan.
When Li Ziyu arrived, it was as if to welcome him, the door of the temple, which had not been opened for who knows how many years, was completely opened.
Dust fell from the sky, and then was blown away by the invisible wind.
Faye's eyes were moist, with faint tears. He could feel that the temple was alive...
The bright lights lit up one after another, and the fluctuations of the soul continued to be transmitted. The souls of the dead in the temple were calling Li Ziyu.
Hmm, it feels so familiar.
Similar to those ghosts who always happily wander around the castle.
Li Ziyu raised the corners of his mouth with a smile and stepped into the temple, followed closely by Faye, Torento and Elena.
Several people had just entered the temple, and the door behind them slowly closed.
The lights in the temple swayed for a while, and the scene in front of several people changed like water waves.
Fantasy.
Li Ziyu immediately realized that they were under the illusion of magic.
It is not necessary to panic. As the master of the bones and undead, the ghosts and dead souls in the temple will not harm him.
"You are finally here, of the undead..." A woman emerged from the void and said in an ethereal voice.
She stopped abruptly in the middle of her words and looked at the four people in front of her with a strange expression.
Four humans?
It shouldn't be. I just felt the aura of the king of the undead. Why are there only four humans?
Li Ziyu was also looking at this woman. She was wearing a long skirt with gorgeous patterns embroidered on it. If you look at it this way, this woman seemed to be a noble lady, but her body was transparent, proving her identity——
ghost.
The woman stared blankly at the four people in front of her, then suddenly got stuck and could not speak out what she had prepared.
She originally wanted to welcome the king of the undead, but she made a mistake. There was no king of the undead here, only four humans.
"Are you looking for me?" Li Ziyu raised her finger and pointed at her nose, asking the ghost of the woman.
"Human... wait, King? No, you are obviously a human, I can feel the breath of life on your body..." The female ghost became more and more confused.
Li Ziyu is indeed a human being, this cannot be faked, but he also does have the aura of the king of the undead in his body, this cannot be faked.
But this cannot exist.
The undead and humans are two incompatible races.
How can humans become the masters of the undead?
"I am the controller of the undead bones, the Lord of the Undead. My name is Li Ziyu." Seeing that the ghost remained silent, Li Ziyu had no choice but to introduce himself first.
"The temple has revived. Did you awaken the temple?" the female ghost asked tentatively.
"If you said it was a few days ago, then I should have woken it up. I was using the temple to find something important." Li Ziyu thought for a while and replied.
Previously, the system helped him search and locate the Castle of the Undead, using the temples in various places as connection points. Naturally, the temples were to be activated. If this is what the female ghost was talking about, that would be correct.
"Are you really the king?" The female ghost nodded and then asked.
"I can't define the king you call me, but I do control a large number of skeleton undead people." Li Ziyu said truthfully.
"Please have mercy on your people!" The female ghost suddenly fell to the ground and said with choked sobs.
What's going on here?
Li Ziyu's brows instantly wrinkled, and he turned to look at Fa Ye with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The race under his command is the skeleton undead, and the matter of the ghosts is not his business. If he has to find a responsible person, it should be Wendi Li (remember him, ID Cinnabar Pigeon Blood, owns the Castle of Dead Souls).
However, we both belong to the undead clan, and I always feel uncomfortable when I see a ghost bowing down in front of me.
Faye stared at the ghost in stunned silence. His heart trembled, but he couldn't think of anything he had done to disgrace the holy corpse.
Turning to look at Torento, she saw that Torento also had a dissatisfied look on his face, so Elena didn't really care.
Li Ziyu took a deep breath, looked at the ghost of the woman and said softly, "What happened, tell me in detail."
The ghost was still lying on the ground, with his head buried, and whispered, "King, we no longer have enough energy. If this continues, we will perish, and the temple will be unable to continue to protect this city."
Li Ziyu thought of the temple in Sonderburg. The power of faith was almost exhausted. It was even worse than here in Cuisen Mountain City. Even if he got inside, no undead soul could recover. He asked softly, "It's the power of faith that has given out."
Problem?"
"No, it's not just the power of faith, but also the power of the soul."
"In order to help this city, the guards and heroic spirits were injured before. If we had enough soul power, we could repair it ourselves. But the soul power is not enough and the injuries are getting worse. Because I am weak, I can still show up.
"
The female ghost said miserably.
Faye was shocked. He didn't know these things at all. What puzzled him even more was the power of faith and the power of the soul. What are they and why are they insufficient? So he asked eagerly, "The power of faith and the power of the soul."
What's going on with the power, and how can I help you?"
Facing Faye's question, the female ghost had no intention of answering. She could feel that Faye was just a dependent, and the one who could really solve the problem was the King of the Undead.
Li Ziyu sighed and turned to face Fa Ye, "Do you want to save the temple and save them?"
Faye nodded quickly and said, "Of course I do."
"Then let me ask you a few questions. How long has the temple been closed? How long has no one come here to pray?"
"Well, since the last war, in order to allow the holy corpses to rest better, the temple has been closed."
"Hey...what about the cemetery?"
"Cemetery?"
"Yes, there should be an ancient cemetery around the temple. Take me there to have a look."
Faye thought for a while and suddenly said, "Are you talking about my family's cemetery? I will take you there right now."
Several people came out of the temple and followed Faye to a cemetery in the mountain fort.
The cemetery occupies a large area and looks like the undead at first glance.
Li Ziyu stepped into the cemetery. After just a few steps, he already discovered the problem.
Every tomb here has been renovated and is very luxurious, but the problem is that there are very few tombs here. As Faye said, this is their family cemetery. No matter how many people a family has, how many people can there be?
