Dad gave me a scepter that can inherit an army of 100,000 people. Now the scepter is broken, what should I do?
Basolo, the Relic Knight, is in this mood right now. His heart is full of absurd and unreal feelings. The Immortal Scepter can actually break? What should we do now?
They came up the mountain road and could not see any people along the way. Originally, this mountain road was the only way for Stromgarde to connect to the outside world. There was usually an endless stream of pedestrians and horses. Even on holidays or when it was raining and muddy, there would still be people coming and going.
Yes, absolutely not without seeing a single soul.
Something must have happened. Basolo could even guess what happened. They saw too much when they came back.
When order collapses, all cities are in chaos. Only the self-sufficient villages and towns can maintain order. But as the cities collapse, this chaos will definitely gradually extend to the villages and towns until the entire world is involved.
Of course Basolo knew how serious the consequences would be, so two months ago, when he discovered that the skeletons in the cemetery had stopped coming out, he made an immediate decision and took his loyal men to the Eternal City to receive the Scepter of Immortality.
This kind of scepter was previously awarded to lords, and it can be used to command the immortal guards of the cemetery. Basolo went to the eternal city as a human being, which was an adventure in itself.
But luckily, his identity as a knight of remains came into play. The so-called knights of remains refer to knights recognized by the immortal bone horse.
Ordinary bone horses have no intelligence. Only bone horses with ashes and above have certain intelligence. Most people cannot command them. Only knights recognized by them can become skeleton knights.
Compared with ordinary horses, bone horses have great advantages. They can travel thousands of miles without getting tired. As long as you are not afraid of having your butt flattened, you can keep riding on it.
He arrived at the Eternal City without any hindrance. The chaotic Government Affairs Office was still surprised by his arrival: "How did you think of coming to receive the Immortal Scepter?"
Basolo said nervously: "Only the Immortal Scepter can summon the immortal guards of the cemetery to maintain law and order in the city."
"How do I know that after you get the scepter, will you commit murder, robbery and commit evil? Create more evil?" the Saint of the Undead who manages government affairs asked him.
Basolo said: "No matter how much I do evil, it is much better than the collapse of order. The most I can do is hang my boss who used to bully me and then pursue his wife. But if order breaks down, more people will die. Ours
If the local area does not produce food, order breaks down, and the whole city may starve to death."
The Saint of the Undead nodded and complained: "What you said makes sense. This is a good idea. I will immediately send someone to deliver the scepter and let the prestige people in the city come first to maintain order. Your Majesty went too far this time, alas.
, How are you going to clean up this mess? I’m so annoyed..."
Your Majesty? The Immortal King? Seeing that the undead saint in front of him dared to complain about the king, Basolo realized that he was no ordinary undead.
But in the end, he didn't dare to ask the other party's name. After getting the Immortal Scepter, they rushed back without stopping. Everything went smoothly, at least until they took out the Immortal Scepter.
It is unheard of for a scepter to be damaged, but now it happens, what should I do?
The five knights looked at each other and went back to return the goods and get another one?
Not to mention whether I can get another one, I shudder just thinking about traveling tens of thousands of kilometers and coming back.
The environment outside now is not as safe as when they went there before. If the five of them make another trip, they don't know if they can come back alive.
Even if he comes back alive, what's the point? There will probably be no one left in Stromgarde by then.
If the order of Stromgarde can be maintained until two months later, it means that there is no danger of collapse, and it doesn't matter whether you want the scepter or not.
Everyone was at a loss when a voice rang out. When they looked up, they saw someone jumping down step by step from the terraces on the side of the cemetery, came to them, stretched out their hands and said: "Give it to me."
This tone was so natural that Basolo subconsciously wanted to hand over the scepter, and then raised his hand to react.
"Who are you? From the fort? Want this? Do you know what this is?" Basolo asked: "What is the situation in the fort now? What are you doing here?"
"Grow vegetables, give them to me." Ange said again, reaching out and digging out.
Basolo didn't expect Ange to reach out, and before he could react, the scepter was taken away.
Basolo was confused. He looked at his own hands and then at Ange's hands. He was a little confused: "Your hands are very fast. Don't play with them. This is not a toy. Give it back to me."
Before he finished speaking, the scepter in Ange's hand suddenly burst into blue flames, many times more powerful than the flames that Basolo summoned for the first time, and the flames were almost coming out of his eyes.
"Huh? It's not broken? Are you a necromancer?" Basolo was surprised again.
Could it be that the scepter is not broken, but I just can’t use it?
Ange looked at the scepter a few times, then raised it in the direction of the cemetery.
The cemetery is quiet at dawn...
"That's not it. You have to cooperate with the commands. First: Get up, immortal soul, and obey my orders... Forget it, let me do it." Basolo said, reaching out to take back the power from Ange.
stick.
However, at this moment, there was a commotion in the cemetery. The closed crypts were opened one after another, and the undead guards crawled out one after another. They stood in front of the tomb and looked over. The mountains and fields were filled with a faint blue light.
"This...I...I haven't finished reciting my password, don't I need to finish it?" Basolo was confused. He stretched out his hand to take the scepter from Ange, and raised it towards the cemetery: "Immortal
Soul, obey my command and come here."
The cemetery was quiet, and the undead guards stared in this direction with blue lights.
"Eh? No? Get up, immortal soul, obey my command, wake up from the sleeping country!" Basolo raised the scepter high again and shouted out the complete command.
The immortal guards remained motionless, just looking at them.
"It still doesn't work. Do you have any tricks?" Basolo waved his scepter a few times to command the undead guards, and finally turned his eyes back to Ange helplessly.
"Here you go." He said and put the scepter into Ange's hand.
In fact, Ange no longer needs the scepter. When he held it in his hand and lit it, he received some information and understood its operating mechanism. He is no longer interested, otherwise Basolo would not be able to snatch it back so easily.
Looking at the scepter that was pushed towards him, Ange raised it and waved it. Without any instructions, the undead guards turned around in unison and silently went back into the tomb, closing the flip door.
"Uh, don't... Oops, they all went back. You can keep some to maintain order. You know how to use this thing. Take charge of it. Promise me, use it to maintain order in Stromgarde and don't use it to do evil.
Okay?" Basolo said.
Although he spent two months to get the Immortal Scepter back, it was not for himself. When he saw that Ange could use it, he simply handed it over without any nostalgia. The only thing he was worried about was the self-proclaimed man in front of him.
Will the guy who grows vegetables use it to do bad things?
Ange tilted his head and looked back, trying to find the yellow figure.
Above the terraces, Nigris, who was napping, was awakened by the movement in the cemetery. He looked up and found that Ange was missing. He flew over anxiously. When he saw Ange confronting the five knights, he was even more shocked: "What's wrong?
What's wrong? Are you going to fight?"
After flying closer, he realized that it was not a confrontation. When asked what was going on, Nigris said in surprise: "Where did you get the Scepter of Immortality?"
Basolo didn't bother to answer the question. His attention was completely attracted by Nigris: "Dragon? Brass dragon? So thin? Stunted?"
Gu Cun
"Oh, can you speak? I'll roast you until you're bald." Nigris threatened with a mini dragon's breath.
"Why bald man?" Maybe it's because the dragon's breath is too small and has no deterrent effect at all, but it dispelled Basolo and others' precautions.
After some conversation, Negris finally understood the situation of these people: "You are the Knights of the Remains, originally the guards of Stromgarde Cemetery? How did you come up with the idea of getting the Scepter of the Immortal?"
Basolo responded: "This is the fastest and most thorough way. What about you, who are you? I have never seen you in Stromgarde before. How is the situation in the city?"
While they were chatting, Ange had already turned around and returned to the terraces, continuing to plant things.
When he lit the immortal scepter just now, he received some information from the scepter and figured out its operating mechanism. It was actually just a soul network node.
Because this soul network node has the aura of a certain existence, it can command the immortal guards of the cemetery.
Ange found that he didn't need to use this thing to control the undead creatures in the cemetery. Although he couldn't make them obey like the people with soul connections, he could make them move, move, and attack, so he
This scepter is not needed.
But he didn't bother to return it and stuffed it into the storage ring.
Things with souls cannot be placed in the God's Realm. There is no storage space, and he is not used to it, so he wears a ring to store some things that cannot be placed in the God's Realm.
After talking to Basolo, Nigris quickly convened everyone for discussion because the news Basolo brought was too shocking.
"You mean, a Saint of the Undead received you? He also complained that 'Your Majesty has gone too far this time'?" Duroken asked.
Basolo and the others were gnawing on the fragrant beef patties that Nigris had tricked from Ji Li, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, that's what the Saint of the Undead said. He also said that my idea was good. He
Prepare to send people to distribute immortal scepters, and let those who are prestigious in the city temporarily take charge of the immortal guards to stabilize order."
They have already visited the city. Stromgarde is not as chaotic as they imagined. Not many people died. Everyone is working in an orderly manner. There are no victims they have seen along the way. Their faces are full of panic.
and uneasiness.
These changes were brought about by Negris and others, which gave him an inexplicable trust in everyone.
As soon as Basolo finished speaking, Duroken and Silver Coin couldn't help but cursed: "What a stupid idea is this? Isn't it chaotic enough? What's this guy's name? I'll scold him at the House of the Dead."
Basolo was stunned: "Is this a bad idea?"
"Of course it's not good." Yin Coin explained: "He should directly send people to manage the guards of the cemetery instead of leaving it to anyone else. Just changing the balance of power in a place is equivalent to encouraging them to go to war?"
"You have an undead army that you can command, and then there is no food in the city and it cannot be bought elsewhere. Will you go and rob Beifeng City?" Yin Coin asked hypothetically.
Basolo shook his head: "No, I can't get through it."
"Then the city at the foot of the mountain will be organized, right? If you don't have food, you will starve to death. Will you attack it?" Yin Coin said angrily.
"Yes, I understand. Those who have obtained command authority will definitely use immortal guards to attack others if they are ambitious or lack food and water." Basolo suddenly realized.
When there are no soldiers, there is at most a breakdown of order and chaos; with soldiers, it is war.
Du Luoken also sighed: "We are used to it. These undead people never come up with ideas because they have no brains."
Basolo couldn't help but defend himself: "Maybe it's also because of the lack of manpower that I can't see many intelligent undead creatures in the Eternal City."
"There are very few high-level undead creatures. We don't necessarily need to use high-level undead creatures. Are there no vassal races?"
The small number is an old problem. It was the same in the previous Palace of Rest. The number of intelligent undead creatures was always small, because compared to the low-level undead creatures that were too huge to be counted, there were too few high-level undead creatures and they could not be managed at all.
If undead creatures are a big net, then high-level undead creatures are the knots of the net. If there are too few knots, the net will be sparse and everything will easily leak out.
But it is not necessary to use high-level undead creatures. Such simple things can be done by subordinate creatures. Back then, there was an undead temple in the Abyss of Rest. Isn't there a similar organization here?
Basolo spread his hands, this was beyond his comprehension.
After Basolo left, Nigris discussed it with several people, and they all scratched their heads: "The current situation is too complicated. We can't handle it. Should we call Anthony over?"
"Can he walk away? There are a lot of things going on in the main plane."
"Ask me about the situation here. Just listening to Basolo's words makes me feel dizzy." Nigris said with bared teeth.
At this moment, Negris noticed Ange who was farming and suddenly stopped and looked up into the sky.
In the sky in the southeast, I saw a large black dot in front and a dozen small black dots behind, flying in this direction. As I got closer, I could see their appearance clearly. It was a large black dot.
The second one is a small one, a total of thirteen bone dragons.
"What a small bone dragon. The one in the front is twenty meters long, and the one in the back is about fifteen meters at most. Were these guys malnourished during their lifetime?" Nigris was surprised.
The thirteen bone dragons flew over Stromgarde and circled in a circle. A voice on the back of the bone dragon shouted: "Strandem, safe, next one, are there any cities nearby? North Wind City? Okay, next one."
,Beifeng City.”
"Hey, there's a brass dragon down there?"
"What are you making such a fuss about? Have you seen too many dragons? Follow me quickly."
A group of bone dragons turned around and flew towards the other side of the mountain range.
It wasn't until the Bone Dragon Knight flew away that everyone looked at each other in confusion: "What's going on with these guys? Are they here to patrol?"
"Have you checked which city is in chaos? If there is chaos, come down and maintain order? Does this mean that there is still power to maintain the order of the Immortal Empire?!" Duroken didn't know why, but suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.
.
Even though the empire has collapsed, there are still loyal people who are maintaining the empire's final glory.
"They went to Beifeng City, should we go back too?"
"No need, just pay attention to the teleportation array. Feiwo will notify us if anything happens."
That night, Feiwo received the news that the Bone Dragoons had indeed gone to Beifeng City, and even landed in Beifeng City to rest for the night.
Feiwo warmly received them and got a piece of news from them: the Parliament of the Dead was looking for someone who could give birth to the Sky-reaching Sacred Tree.
The Council of the Dead is willing to offer twenty cities with a size of more than 50,000 people, or a territory of one million square kilometers, as long as it can give birth to the Divine Tree that reaches the sky.
Nigris and others looked at each other and showed each other knowing smiles: The bait is here.
