Chapter 22 A Strange Country

Curlund?

Hearing Sarah's answer, Rhode raised his brow, and then he quickly pulled out the corresponding information from his mind.

"Crondfasher, the current patriarch of the Dark Night Lich family?"

"Yes, honorable master."

Hearing Rhode's answer, Sarah hurriedly lowered her head and responded. Instead, Serena next to her looked at Rhode with some curiosity and asked.

"Dark Night Lich? Lord Lord, are you familiar with them?"

"Understanding the enemy is the first step in war, and intelligence is always necessary, Miss Serena."

Rhode became more and more convinced that his talent for "talking lies with his eyes open" was definitely so full that it was almost overflowing.

"The Dark Night Lich family is one of the most powerful Lich families in Yezhi. They are one of the backbone forces of the "Immortal Tide" Legion and are also the accomplice of the "Soul Chaser" Barund. This family is good at immortal alchemy and magic. Their role under Barund's hands is a bit similar to..." As he said this, Rhode paused for a moment, he looked at Marin, and then continued to speak. "............ a bit similar to our Moon's Shania family, which is specifically responsible for providing weapons to the Necromancer. Of course, they are also responsible for the transformation and strengthening of undead creatures. In addition, they are also a rare family that is relatively close to the blood-sucking species in the Immortal Tide. The title of Dark Night Lich comes from this. Curlund is good at fighting in the air. It seems that we will face a large number of air forces such as gargoyles this time..."

Speaking of this, Rhode shook his head, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Thinking about it, the other party suffered such a big loss in the ground battle before, and it is normal to choose to go to the air force now. If it were the previous Rhode, I'm afraid it would be a bit tricky at this time, but now, the air force? Ha, countless experience values ​​have appeared in front of Rhodes.

"You are here to investigate as a puppet corpse witch of Corlund. So you should know the specific situation of the army mobilized by the Immortal Army here?"

"Know a little, respectful master."

Sarah couldn't help but look up at her new master curiously. As a corpse slave beside Corunde, she served the lich for many years, and naturally knew that the puppet corpse witch was an idea of ​​her former master. And she became an experimental item to become a puppet corpse witch. After staying with a lich for so long, Sarah was not a fool. Of course, she understood that the experiment of every spellcaster is an absolute secret. However, the new master in front of her seemed extremely familiar with this, which naturally made Sarah feel a little curious, but years of habit still made Sarah suppress her inner doubts and answered.

"I only know that the legion of Lord Burks and Lord Duran has reached the front line. I am more clear about Lord Curlund's situation. Currently, Lord Curlund has 50,000 gargoyles and soul griffins, and 10,000 Black Winged Knights. As far as I know, the total number of the undead legion should be around 100,000, but this is only what I know. After all, I am just Lord Curlund's corpse slave, and I don't know much about other situations."

"Berks and Duran..."

Rhode frowned. These are the real powerful nobles in Yezhi. Unlike the emerging aristocrats like the unlucky necromancer before, they are all the strongest forces of the four major families. It seems that after the first round of attacks, the emerging aristocrats in Yezhi seemed to have suffered a little setback. So the four demon generals began to use their power below. Of course, Rhode knew what they were planning to make. If those emerging forces failed. And those old forces succeeded, then they

Not only can he expand his strength, but he can also use this to suppress those sluts who are ready to move. In this way, Yezhi Kingdom will become stable again. However, Rhodes is obviously not willing to work hard for the stability and unity of the enemy country. On the contrary, as long as the four demon generals do not send their own direct troops, he doesn't mind letting these guys continue to lose - failure is the best sharp blade for the conflict. If there is no smoky country in Yezhi that can be troubled by this, Rhodes will really be unable to seek it.

Although it is unlikely.

"Corpse slave?"

But compared to these, Frederick seemed to be more concerned about another word that Lhasa just mentioned.

"What is a corpse slave?"

"A corpse slave is a slave made of corpses."

Rhode came to his senses and replied faintly, then he pointed to the girl in front of him.

"Just as you see, the lich will pull these human souls from their bodies, and then make special transformations of their bodies, including anti-corrosion and preservation work, and then put their souls into the soul crystal, so that they can create slaves to serve and assist their work. The corpse slaves will not rebel, can obey orders perfectly, and have their own commands, which is much stronger than those inferior bone stances. Therefore, most of the lichs have corpse slaves around them."

Speaking of this, Rod looked at Sarah in front of him.

"Am I right?"

"My master is so knowledgeable. I never knew that people on the Continent of Light knew us so well."

Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Sarah hurriedly answered in fear.

"As Master, you said, I have served Lord Curlund thirty years ago. Five years later, because I performed well, Lord Curlund turned me into a corpse slave..."

"Hey, wait wait wait!!"

Hearing this, Frederick suddenly interrupted Sarah's words with a strange expression. He stared at the girl in front of him in confusion and surprise.

"I heard it right, I turned you into a corpse slave because of my outstanding performance? What's going on? Didn't you do a good job? Why did that guy treat you like this? Could it be that long to die and show off your brain, right?"

"Mr. Corunde turns me into a corpse slave, which is a reward for me. Human beings will eventually grow old and die of illness. After becoming a corpse slave, we will not get sick, be injured, nor die of old age. Moreover, we can use our experience and wisdom to support our master and work for him. Isn't this a matter of course?"

"this…………………"

When they heard Sara's words, everyone except Rhode and Qilian were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. They looked at Sara who had a confused and puzzled expression in front of them, and only felt a chill running through the depths of their spine like an electric current. If their fear of the undead creatures in the Kingdom of Night was only on the surface, then now, they finally discovered the more trembling truth under the soil of death in this dark country. It was a complete subversion and betrayal of their values ​​and the entire world, and it was an existence that had almost penetrated evil and death into their bones.

"The Holy Soul is on..."

Serena held her hands tightly, put them on her chest, muttering in a low voice. Lijie shook her head and turned around, not knowing what to say. Instead, Frederick scratched her head, and then he thought of something and asked.

"Then, Miss Sarah, what if you don't perform well?"

"The master will kill those servants who do not meet his requirements and convert their bodies into necromancers to guard its territory. The souls of those losers will become materials for the master to cast spells and experiment."

Sarah's tone was neither happy nor sad, and it was so calm that it made people frightened. This blasphemy, evil and terrible thing was so dull that it was the point that scared everyone the most. Rhodes hugged his arms, stood by and looked at the others without saying a word. This was also good, let them experience the horror and terror of the undead creatures personally, so that they would become more aware of their responsibilities and burdens. The invasion of the undead creatures is not just a simple war between two countries. It is also a conflict between two views and the values ​​of the immortal and the living.

"That means you're dead no matter what?"

Frederick muttered, looking incredible. Sarah shook her head and said.

"This is not the case. Even if this adult cannot meet the requirements of his master, many people can survive as a human being. After all, the master needs slaves to reproduce more offspring, so there are many human races and towns on the territory of each adult. Those living will live in it, and their responsibilities are to reproduce more offspring for the master. Those who perform well will be rewarded by the master and receive glory and status."

Speaking of this, Sarah even raised her chest with a little smugness.

"My mother once gave birth to dozens of children with a total of twenty men, and was given the supreme glory and reward from Lord Curend. It is precisely because of this that I am fortunate to serve Lord Curend and have the opportunity to become his corpse slave."

"More than twenty men, tsk tsk!"

Frederick shook his head.

"I really admire your mother. Her husband must be generous. I absolutely can't stand it anyway. If it were my wife...oh, why are you kicking me with Serena?"

"husband?"

Hearing Frederick's words, Sarah tilted her head curiously.

"What is that?"

"That's what men and women call each other after marriage."

"What is marriage?"

"marry……………………"

Even Frederick, who had a distracted personality, was silent at this time. He scratched his hair and looked at the other ladies next to him. However, at this moment, everyone, including Marlene, almost fell into a state of accident when Sarah's inquiry. He hesitated for a moment. In the end, the so-called person who had to tie the bell was to unzip the bell, so Frederick could only bite the bullet and answer.

"It's just a couple who love each other get married, start a family, live together, and have children... don't you have such a custom?"

"No."

Sarah shook her head decisively.

"If it is to give birth, it is the obligation of every woman in our territory. When we become an adult, we must work hard for it and give birth as many children as possible. In fact, if I did not serve Lord Corund early and became a corpse witch, I should have worked hard for it like other sisters."

Walking out of the dungeon and looking at the dazzling and warm sunshine in front of him, Marlin and others felt as if they had finally returned to their world. As a human and a woman, after listening to Sarah's words, they seemed to be trapped in the abyss of darkness. That kind of scene was enough to make people tremble and frightened just by just imagining it. Serena couldn't bear it. After covering her mouth and leaving the dungeon, she ran to the side and vomited for a long time before she came to her senses. Just imagining such a scene, the young lady felt that she was almost fainting.

"The Holy Soul is on... I never thought... the people in the darkness would actually live such a life."

Lijie held her hands tightly, placed her chest, and lowered her eyes. Although they had heard a lot of rumors about the Night Country, most of them were spread. Even if some information was circulated, it would become exaggerated and vague in the process, and would make various modifications to take care of people's imagination. But now, this cruelest and coldest fact is placed in front of them, almost unbelievable. If they had not seen how Sarah turned from a corpse back to a living person, if they had not fought with Sarah before and were sure that the other party was indeed a member of the undead creature, they might not have believed that the other party's words were true. Compared with what Sarah described, the evil and cruel behaviors they had heard about the undead creatures before were pure and beautiful as an angel.

No, at this moment they hoped that the girl was deceiving and intimidating them. This was the evil taste of many undead creatures. They would rather think that this was the other party's intentional exaggeration and mockery. Because if such a thing really exists in this world, it would be terrible.

Perhaps it is not this thing that is afraid of. But Sarah's attitude when describing all this. In their eyes, the morality, order, and even common sense on the Continent of Light no longer exists, and they have not even "once" existed. On the dark land there, although order still exists, it is so distorted and evil. It is feared.

"call…………………"

Marlene's performance was slightly better. Rhode noticed that she reached out. He held her chest, took a few deep breaths and then calmed down quickly. This concentration alone was shaking with Frederick's support, with a pale face, and looked like Serena who was in a mess in the battle. Just looking at the latter, those who didn't know thought she had just experienced an extremely tragic battle.

"Rod, that lady...what are you going to do?"

Marin frowned, and then asked with some concern. After that, Rhode let Sarah stay alone in the cell. Anyway, he was not afraid that the other party would run away with a soul. Controlling the soul is a mysterious power, even Rhode is the same. When he controls the other party's soul, no matter what the other party is thinking or doing in his mind, Rhode is very clear and clear. And no matter what he wants to do, as long as he gives orders through the soul, the other party can only do what he is doing. Although Rhode knows that even if he doesn't lock the door, Sarah will not leave the cell, but in order to make others feel at ease, he still locked the cell door. Anyway, Sarah is now an undead creature and does not need to eat and drink water. And for now, she is indeed not suitable to run around.

"Stay to keep it below for the time being, and wait until the time is right. The information she brought us is very valuable. Although there are still many incomplete things, I think I can get the approximate number of the Immortal Legion."

Rhode thought about it and spoke. Marin did not mention that topic, nor did he mention it again. In fact, Rhode knew very well that the differences between the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness were not just that simple, but the distorted order was also order. This is one of the reasons why the Kingdom of Law has never cared about these things that Marin and others seemed crazy. The second reason was that in the Kingdom of Night, this ancient law that represents tradition had been formed for hundreds of thousands of years. It can even be said that the humans living in the Kingdom of Night, although they are still humans on the surface, their values, views on survival, and even views on life and death have become qualitatively different from the continent of Light. Just like Sarah's pride before, it was simply a kind of blasphemy and evil to Marin and others. But.........................

"Look for time to hold a combat meeting. We want to reveal this information to others. The Immortal Legion is coming in full force this time, but we must fight them back and tell them where these bones should stay...that is definitely not our country."

Speaking of this, Rhode raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky in front of him. Under the protection of the Dragon Soul of Light, the sky here still showed a sky blue brilliance, but Rhode knew very well that things were not that simple.

“————!!”

At this moment, a crisp bird song pierced the sky. Then everyone saw a carrier pigeon spreading its wings, flying down from the sky, and coming to everyone. Qi Lian stretched out his hand. Soon the white carrier pigeon stayed in the hands of the Lord of Fire Elements, while Qi Lian pulled out a letter paper from the foot of the carrier pigeon, glanced at it carefully, and then the fox-eared girl showed a meaningful smile.

"Master, is there something good?"

"Um?"

Hearing Qi Lian’s words, Rhode was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the letter, took the letter, glanced quickly, then raised his eyebrows, and a noticeable smile appeared on his face.

"Those idiots in the parliament really didn't expect them to be unable to hold on so soon."

"What's wrong? Rhodes?"

Seeing Rhode's expression, Marlene asked curiously, while Rhode shook his head slightly.

"Nothing, Marlene, it's just that some idiots want to find someone to take care of them."
