159. Queen Azshara visits her loyal Suramar---【13/25】(1/2)
"boom"
The rock base carved by Van Cleef to hold the stone statue was easily shattered under the brute force attack of the new stone spirit's claws. The violent collision with the scattered rocks did not cause any damage to the newly degraded descendant.
Its strong and sharp claws cut through the rock like tofu, and then, under the order of General Karl, launched a brutal attack on the stone assassin who served as the "combat strength test officer" in front of him.
But as expected, such a crude and primitive attack would be impossible to harm a true noble stone.
The assassin took only a dozen seconds as if he were playing, knocking the stone spirit in front of him to the ground and completely suppressing it. This proved General Karl's accurate prediction of the combat effectiveness of the stone spirit carved by Da Fan.
No matter in terms of combat effectiveness or appearance, the stone statues carved by mortals are far from the real eternal stone descendants.
This is also normal. As the stinky pirate complained before, the Eternal Stone descended from a demigod stonesmith, who personally destroyed the world while he was alive, and after his death became the only one in the Kingdom of Death, Revendreth.
One of the rulers second to the Great Emperor.
And the stone statue in front of me comes from an out-and-out mortal.
The creators of each other are so different, so it is understandable that the gap between their respective creations is so obvious.
As for Black himself, he was actually very satisfied with the result. On the character card in front of him, the character information of this corrupted descendant was dancing:
Name: Unnamed Gargoyle
Race: Degenerate fossil/stone spirit/psychic construct
Occupation: Level 20 Gargoyle Guardian·Elite
Legendary occupation: Anima Stone Hunter [unlocked]
Status: Combat Evolution·Newborn Hunting
Affiliation: Edwin VanCleef Creation
Character description:
The ancient and powerful eternal stone descendants try to create descendants in the material world, but due to their peculiar existence form, the reproduction of the stone descendants can only be promoted by highly skilled craftsmen.
Now, the first degenerate fossil has been born in Azeroth, and the fire of civilization originating from the dead world has been ignited here.
As General Carl beside him kept shaking his head in disappointment, the pirate reached out and threw a shadow magic at the stone spirit who was constantly learning combat skills from the stone assassin and was rapidly upgrading. It only took the guy less than ten minutes to defeat the stone spirit.
He "brushed" his level to level 20. As long as Da Fan teaches him well, this guy will definitely become a great rock hunter.
The impact of Black's magic power shattered the stone spirit's skin, but the latter quickly entered a gray stone statue state to repair itself. In less than a minute, the damage had been healed, leaving only ugly scars on the rock skin.
.
The pirate blew smoke rings and commented:
"There is no doubt that it has inherited the Stoneborn's invulnerable rock skin and resistance to magic, and can repair itself when it is damaged like you.
He also has a sense of autonomy, is very aggressive, and can also accumulate experience and grow through battles.
In the material world, he is already a very good structural warrior."
"Indeed!"
The invited lich Kel'Thuzad was also very interested in the new stone spirit at this time. As a master of structure, he carefully inspected the gargoyle created by Van Cleef.
A few minutes later, he made a very accurate estimate and said:
"Such a stone statue structure can kill several infantrymen before being knocked into the stone statue state in a frontal battle. If flying raid tactics are used, it can even sneak attack a camp under the cover of night to complete the destruction mission.
It has no sense of pain and will not be afraid. It will unconditionally perform the tasks ordered by its master. Except for the slightly complicated production process and the need for mental energy to awaken, it is a structure with almost no shortcomings."
"No, you are wrong, Xiao Ke."
The pirate spoke in a long voice, waving his fingers:
"It's a shame that you can awaken a gargoyle with your precious heart. I asked you to come here to witness this process because I hope you can improve the way these gargoyles are awakened.
What I mean is that the death aura gathered by necromancy is used to replace the anima and give life to the gargoyles.
Since you are already studying obsidian statues, I think this job is not difficult, right?"
"It's not difficult."
Kel'Thuzad frowned and said:
"Theoretically, it is completely feasible, but the infusion of death aura will only give them weaker intelligence, or even lack of intelligence, which will seriously damage their combat effectiveness."
"So what? There is an upper limit to the combat power of the inferior fossils. Instead of constantly piling up anima to create a powerful aerial predator, it is better to lower the standard and swamp the enemy with numbers.
Anyway, there is no shortage of people under the Natural Disasters who can fight. What they lack is air superiority."
The pirate sneered and said:
"Even the generous Lich King cannot devote so much anima to the Gargoyle Army. That thing is a scarce resource in the material world.
But the death aura is different.
With one wave of Frostmourne, a huge amount of spiritual energy will be poured into it, which can instantly create a terrifying number of gargoyle structures for the Scourge.
This makes up for the lack of air power of the undead, and also opens up a new field for you to research, and you can write several papers, my little geek."
"I really feel that your understanding of magical knowledge is full of flaws and shortcomings. Perhaps these knowledge that seems wonderful to us are just papers in your eyes.
But that doesn’t matter, I no longer care about the way other people see the world.”
Kel'Thuzad was holding his cat, and Mr. Bigglesworth in his arms was also very interested in the ugly gargoyle in front of him, staring at it with wide eyes.
He seems to be wondering whether this guy can be used as a teething stick.
The Lich thought for a few seconds, and then he answered Black:
"Give the Scholomance School half a month, we will come up with a specific death aura infusion plan and send it to Northrend together with the structural diagram of the primary abomination.
Are you still going to be involved as a middleman in this matter?"
"No, I'm very busy. How can I have time to help you with these things? You can do it yourself."
The pirate waved his hands, pretended to be busy, and said:
"Then I won't see you off? You have an errand to do later."
"Um."
Kel'Thuzad nodded. Before he left, he looked at Da Fan, who was still in a dream, and said to him in a lich's indifferent tone:
"I originally had doubts about the proposal of 'Second Class Honorary Tutor of Constructs' submitted by Lord Black to the Theosophical School, but after seeing your astonishing skills and works with my own eyes, I am very interested in your hands.
After lunch, remember to come to the Psychic School Research Institute to collect your instructor certificate and uniform. Someone will agree with you on the teaching time. You can propose a reasonable work allowance. We Psychics value talents like you very much.
.
In addition, I suggest that you must protect these hands when you work in the future, and sign an agreement with us by the way, allowing us to resurrect you as an undead craftsman after your accidental death...
We will pay you handsomely for this, think about it, Your Excellency."
After saying that, he used a flash spell to leave Black's office. After the Lich left, General Carl next to the pirate immediately complained:
"Well, look at the lichs in this material world. They are just as cold, just as sinister, and just as unlikable as the lichs in the Maldraxxus Ritual Chamber.
If this guy goes to the Shadow Realm, he will definitely get a title and become a prominent figure in that land of eternal war.
However, it is surprisingly reassuring to find such a ruthless guy in the material world to supervise the development and growth of the Stoneborn bloodline."
"Really? That's the person I chose! How can I be wrong?"
The pirate laughed twice and looked back at Van Cleef.
The latter was currently caressing the first gargoyle he carved with his own hands, and his gargoyle stayed beside its creator very docilely, letting Da Fan's hands slide on its rocky skin.
This scene is like a dog lover and his dog, full of a different kind of warmth.
But considering that this "dog" can easily tear an adult into pieces in a few seconds, this scene seems a bit scary.
"Da Fan, you proved that my favor for you was not wrong. You made me blush greatly, which makes me very satisfied, so I want to reward you."
The pirate glanced at General Carr and said to Van Cleef:
"Have you considered what happens after death?"
"Um?"
This question made Da Fan, a veteran, immediately vigilant.
His thoughts were immediately sensed by his gargoyle creation, which roared like a stone statue at Black and General Karl, and blocked Da Fan.
"Don't get me wrong, my great mason, I don't mean to threaten you. This question is what it appears to be."
The pirate was not angry because of the gargoyle's collision. He said to Van Cleef pleasantly:
"As a person who has experienced war, your understanding of life and death should be deeper than others. When you occasionally have free time, have you really not thought about what kind of journey a person will go through after death?"
"Uh... Frankly speaking, I've considered it."
Van Cleef confirmed that Black did not want his life. The veteran frowned and replied:
"In the Burning Plains, I saw those golden Valkyries with my own eyes. Maybe... I can do it after I die..."
"No, those Valkyries will only recruit the bravest souls to go to the Sky Fortress. That is the highest praise for warriors and all brave men."
The pirate shook his head and said:
To be continued...
