Chapter 630 The Haunted Labyrinth
Although the zombie knight's behavior is rigid and tidy, it can still be felt that it still retains a certain amount of intelligence. After confirming the emblem on Goron, the zombie warrior answers all questions and answers to Goron, but because of its low intelligence, it is not easy for the little ogre to understand what it is saying.
After a while, Goron finally realized the ghost thing in front of him. It was transformed by the Brahadley family using super magic technology interpreted from the big maze and using living humans. It is a biological weapon in a state of "non-life and non-death". It is called "Puppet Warrior".
The puppet warriors do not need to eat or drink, do not need to rest or feel any pain. They rely entirely on the magic crystal implanted in their bodies to provide power activities. Although they can only maintain nearly 80% of their strength during their lifetime, because their bodies are almost immortal, there is no possibility of low morale or sudden betrayal, and they are not harmed by similar spiritual magic. The physical defense and magic resistance are improved, so the actual combat effect is probably stronger than before they were alive. Before the zombie warrior was transformed, he was a peak war king.
At this time, Goron had been taken into another corridor by the zombie warriors. What's different from the moment is that it was obviously specially built by someone in the later period, and its scale and structure were obviously far from the original building maze.
But on both sides of the corridor, there were human warriors standing like sculptures. They also looked as white as zombie warriors, but their eyes were closed without any movement.
"These are all the puppet warriors accumulated by the Brahadley family after hundreds of years of secret transformation."
Hearing this, Ge Long couldn't help but feel shocked. Although this transformation technique seems to be somewhat similar to undead magic, and because the transformation material must be a humanoid creature that is still alive, it cannot be a corpse, it seems to be more troublesome than undead magic and extremely poor efficiency.
But if you think about it carefully, although the undead magic is very convenient to transform a large number of corpses into "undead", nearly 90% of them are skeletons and zombies with low combat power. Moreover, these two undead creatures do not even have the slightest intelligence. Only in the remaining 10% can ghosts, vampires and other superior undead creatures that have truly wisdom be born. As for the birth conditions of the corpse witch and the undead knight, the conditions for the birth of the undead knight are even more harsh, among which the undead knight can only be successful if His Majesty Delmond, the Dead Kingdom, transforms himself.
Thinking of this, if you want to form a high-quality army and use the magic puppet warrior transformation technology, as long as the materials are sufficient, this method of using living people to transform is obviously more efficient and easier to maintain and preserve.
And most importantly, for the Brahadley family who is in charge of the Imperial Royal Prison, the necessary material of "humanity" is exactly what they do not lack. Just think about how many prisoners die in prison for various reasons every year, you can roughly calculate it.
The prisoners who can be imprisoned in the royal prison are either nobles who get into trouble or civilian officers and generals with great strength. Ordinary people really can't get into this place. With such unique conditions, and with the obvious patriotic family, the Brahadley family is obviously a very patient family, it is not surprising that there will be accumulation of this scale in front of them.
After a rough count, the transformation was completed here, but the number of puppet warriors that had not yet been activated was no less than a thousand.
In the core area of the imperial capital, there is such a terrifying armed force hidden. This is a big event that is far more sensational than the death of several royal members. If the Brahadley family has no idea, even the ogre, Goron, would not believe it.
However, something that surprised Goron even more was still there...
"These are all the modified puppet warriors, and they can be activated and put into use at any time. In the future, there will be a batch of semi-finished products that have stopped being transformed due to insufficient raw materials, and then there will be a batch of newly obtained raw materials that have not yet been modified."
Goron suppressed the shock in his heart. Following the guidance of the zombie warrior, he saw that the puppets at both ends of the corridor were a little abnormal. Most of them did not have the ability to stand by themselves, and were hung on the wall, their chests and skulls were lifted, and the colorful organs and brains were directly exposed. So Goron was able to initially see some secrets of the puppet warriors. Most of their internal organs are no longer original and replaced by various special organs made of artificial materials such as metal and glass. In the position that was originally the heart, there is only a small metal seat with an empty slot on it, which seems to be used to inlay something.
"That's not the place where the magic crystal is installed, right?" Golong asked without understanding. The zombie warrior did not seem to doubt the "ignorance" of his "master", and immediately replied: "Yes, master, ordinary magic crystals can be driven by ordinary magic crystals, while puppets above level 4 must use different amounts of Aizhe redstones. Especially Aizhe redstones, which are the most urgent materials at present. In the past twelve years, there has been an excessive amount of high-quality materials you sent here. Although most of them have been transformed, because the number of Aizhe redstones is limited, most of them are in the semi-finished state."
Hearing this, Geron seemed to have thought of something in his heart. He suddenly called the zombie warrior and said anxiously: "Did you just say that you just got a batch of high-quality 'materials' recently? Are they humans, or subhumans, such as... ogres or something?"
"Yes, the master, most of the high-quality materials I have obtained recently are ogres."
"...What are you waiting for? Take me over and take a look!"
"As for the master."
Not long after, Goron saw the so-called materials, which were black-handed ogres locked in the cage. Among them, two ogres were also hung on the wall like other "semi-finished" humans, with a lot of strange parts stuffed into their heads and stomachs, but they had no life and their bodies began to show signs of corruption.
Fortunately, most ogres should be alive now, but they are all lying on the ground and sleeping, looking dying.
Goron glanced over and saw several familiar faces. He took a few deep breaths, tried his best to reduce the speed of his heart, forcibly suppressing the urge to turn wildly, and tear all the things related to Brahadley to pieces.
"Because the transformation technology interpreted from the great maze is limited to the transformation of humans, and based on this, the development of the transformation surgery for the ogre system was not smooth. So far, only these two bodies have been truly transformed, and both ended in failure, resulting in the death of the body. Due to the high cost of ogre material, this plan has been temporarily frozen."
Ge Long thought silently in his heart countless times. These things have nothing to do with the puppet puppet in front of him. They are just "tools" and he still needs them. The guy who creates and uses them is his real enemy.
After thinking about this for a long time, the ogre finally returned to calm.
At this time, Ge Long's mind was extremely clear. He finally confirmed why this maze made him feel inexplicably familiar, because the environment here was extremely similar to the haunted gold mine in Haishi Harbor.
I remember that the reason why the gold mine was named "haunted" was because an ancient ruin was accidentally dug during the gold dig process, and then there were many strange things in the gold mine, and major casualties occurred continuously, resulting in the "haunted gold mine" that no one dared to take over.
Although the name of this gold mine is not very nice, for the black-handed ogre, it not only provides a safe and secret hiding place, but also causes strange mutations to occur in the body of the ogres living there. Not only does it appear in the male ogres that "ancestral rebirth" phenomenon, but the newly born ogres are either one-eyed or two-headed, and each has the potential to become an "ogreat hero" or "sacrifice".
This is nothing. Even the female ogres, the "giant demon", which almost only exists in the legend, are everywhere among the new ogres in haunted gold mines.
It can be said that the haunted gold mine has truly and completely fundamentally changed the Black Hand Ogre, giving it infinite potential comparable to the demon dragon clan.
And after seeing these black-handed ogres, Ge Long suddenly had a crazy guess in his mind that the big maze in front of him could not be connected to the haunted gold mine in Haishi Harbor...
