Chapter 662 Chapter 238, Chapter 239
Chapter 238 Transformation
However, Xu Ziye immediately returned to the place where the World Tree was and placed Louis in the tree hole.
Open a small box with the best black gems, and Xu Ziye arranged the black gems in a fixed position. After the black gems were arranged according to the formation, Xu Ziye dripped blood on each fast black gem.
Suddenly the black gem emitted a pitch-black light. Xu Ziye saw this light and knew that the entire formation had begun to operate.
The reason why Louis wanted to convert alone was not only Louis was particularly surprised, but one more important reason was that Louis was not dead.
He only had a faint breath left. Xu Ziye did not kill him completely in order to greatly retain his strength during his lifetime.
Once he dies, his strength will decrease a lot after transformation, which is why the top general Saab and the other five undead were unable to kill his right eye.
Xu Ziye did not want Louis's strength to decline. If Louis's strength remained in Xu Ziye's army, he would definitely be a top general and could compete with Aimon. How could Xu Ziye be willing to let him die, even sacrifice so many undead people?
However, there is a risk of transformation, that is, there is a possibility of transformation failure. These are all high-purity black gems. Once the transformation fails, Louis retains his original personality. Then he is likely to absorb the energy of these black gems and then fight with Xu Ziye's army.
Therefore, Xu Ziye cannot use transformation for ordinary undead, as the risk is higher.
"White Soul, I'm about to start. You want to help me tie up this guy's soul!" Xu Ziye said.
The white soul floated up from the ground and said, "I know, Lord, but is it a bit like you doing this..."
"I have a sense of my heart. Do what I said, and, if it is not threatening your and my life, don't kill him when his soul resists!" Xu Ziye said.
"I understand! Lord!" Bai Hun said.
Louis, whose magic was originally exhausted, was suddenly shrouded in this high-purity undead magic. Louis suddenly felt that his body was gradually regaining consciousness.
Xu Ziye began to write magic patterns on Louis' body, and it could not be interrupted during the period. Once it was interrupted, it would have to be rewritten.
It is not enough to just write the magic pattern on Louis. What is more important is to write it on Louis' soul, so Xu Ziye wanted to ask Bai Hun for help.
Louis gradually felt the energy of his body recovering, but found that his body was no longer controlled by him. Louis barely opened his eyes and found that Xu Ziye actually wrote magic patterns on his body!
"What do you want to do?! Sandrew!" Louis said in horror.
"Baihun, let him be quiet!" Xu Ziye said to Baihun while writing the magic pattern.
"Yes! Lord!" Bai Hun said, and then he caused a soul shock on a small scale, dispersing Louis's recovered soul a little more, and Louis fainted again.
The magic pattern is written so that you can control Louis's body. However, it is the most rare to write magic pattern on Louis's soul next, because Xu Ziye wants to change Louis' personality, and there are only two ways to change his personality. One is to completely smash the other party's original soul and replace it with a new soul. The other is to write his own magic pattern on the soul to retain his personality, but he will absolutely obey Xu Ziye.
The first method seems good, but it will reduce its strength, so Xu Ziye will use the second method.
Louis's soul appeared again, and this time Louis' soul was quite unstable, because Louis also understood that being written with magic patterns was equivalent to being the other party's slave. How could a person who is used to being a king be a slave? It would be better to kill him directly.
Of course, Louis didn't know that the generals were treated very well. He unilaterally believed that Xu Ziye manipulated the undead just like he manipulated those horned eagles.
"White Soul! Use the soul-burning technique around his soul to compress the space of his soul's activity to a smaller range!" Xu Ziye said.
"Yes! Lord!" Bai Hun said.
Louis found that there was a layer of blue light around him, which was a bit like a ghost fire. Louis knew that it was a flame that could burn his soul, and his activity space was compressed.
After catching the energy of the formation, Louis wanted to rush out and try it, but he didn't want to be manipulated by Xu Ziye.
Suddenly, dozens of chains appeared behind him, leaving Louis dead here, and once the soul shock made Louis lose his ability to resist again.
Xu Ziye started writing his magic patterns on Louis with his fingers.
The feeling of demon patterns imprinting on the soul was not good. The pain on the soul was far greater than the pain. Louis could no longer help it, and his soul screamed, but Xu Ziye was not affected by it at all and still wrote the magic patterns seriously.
After the entire magic pattern was finished writing, Louis's soul was stunned again. Xu Ziye stuffed Louis' soul back into Louis' body. In this way, when Louis woke up, he would completely recognize himself as the main person and no process was needed.
All the black gems around the formation were shattered. It seemed that people who converted to this level needed a lot of energy. In addition, Louis absorbed some energy. Xu Ziye was glad that he had left enough black gems to transform Louis.
The next work was relatively simple. Xu Ziye found a tree stem and transplanted it into Louis's body. Suddenly, the wounds on Louis' body began to recover quickly. The recovery speed surprised Xu Ziye because he did not expect that the fit between the Tree of World and Louis's body was so high. The recovery speed would be slow when he was just implanted, but Louis was different. He recovered very quickly from the beginning.
It seems that besides himself, Louis is probably also suitable to be the owner of the World Tree.
The stems provided Louis with strong enough vitality, and it didn't take long before Louis woke up.
However, Louis suddenly had some strange thoughts. He faced Xu Ziye as if he was facing his father. He could not resist at all and did not even dare to say loudly. He did not understand where this power of surrender came from. He only knew that his master was the Xu Ziye in front of him.
"Lord! I have offended many people in the past, so please don't remember the villain's fault!" Louis said half-kneeling on the ground.
Chapter 239. Resources are scarce
Xu Ziye looked at Louis with satisfaction, then said, "Very good, it seems that you already know how to call me the right one!"
"Don't blame me, my subordinates were enemies of my subordinates in the past, and some of them might be rude, but that was a fool. Please forgive me!" Louis said half-kneeling on the ground.
"Okay, get up, I need some energy. You can take me to the place where black gems are stored right now!" Xu Ziye said.
"Okay, please follow me!" said Louis.
In this way, Xu Ziye and Louis came to the secret room again, but the members of the special group who used to be here were no longer there. Louis skillfully started the door of the secret room. Xu Ziye walked in, and this time he could take a good look at Louis's research over the years.
I flipped through the books on the table. These books recorded some of the most basic undead magic, more of which were knowledge-based undead magic. It is no wonder. After all, undead magic was once a taboo on this road, so there was very few people who knew about undead magic. Even Louis had no place to ask.
So Louis learned a lot of books about the magic of the undead and found some answers to them.
Of course, this kind of work started from Louis's father.
In an inconspicuous corner, Xu Ziye found that there were still a few small boxes thrown in it.
"What is inside?" Xu Ziye pointed to the boxes and asked.
"There are some black gems here, used to study the undead formation!" Louis replied.
"There are only these boxes?" Xu Ziye asked with a frown.
Louis nodded, looked at Xu Ziye's dissatisfied expression, and then quickly explained: "Master, since you have been lurking in this continent for a lot of time, I must know that everything about the undead on this road is taboo, so I cannot have such things in large quantities, because once there are too many such things, no matter how well the sealed ones are, the energy of the undead will be leaked. At that time, the temple will investigate, and we will..."
"I understand!" Xu Ziye waved his hand and signaled that Louis didn't need to say anything further. Louis's soul was engraved with magic patterns on Xu Ziye, so Louis would not lie to Xu Ziye.
These boxes of black gems are not enough to do anything. Xu Ziye sighed. It seems that it is difficult to get some supplies from this continent.
Should I transport it from the Shinori mainland?
It’s not okay to think about it. The place where the Holy City is located, especially the semi-plane. There are also many advanced formations and magic traps there, and the Holy City also has left-behind troops and generals, and they also need black gems.
But it is a bit better than nothing. Xu Ziye brought these black gems back to the World Tree.
A few days later, the teams looking for black gems came back one after another. Many people returned empty-handed and finally put all the black gems together, which was only a dozen boxes.
Such achievements somewhat disappointed Xu Ziye, but there is nothing we can do about it. The resources in his hands should not be used randomly. If they can be replaced by tree species, try to use tree species instead.
Xu Ziye's large warships have been built. According to the relevant defense, Xu Ziye re-divided the entire continent's ports. Originally, there would be as many as 10 or 20 port cities in a country, and there were at least dozens of port cities in the entire continent. Xu Ziye re-divided the port cities into ten, each port city has about four fleets, and each fleet is organized into six large warships and dozens of small frigates.
In addition, port cities mobilize heavy troops to guard the inland, but there is no need for many troops. As long as the enemy cannot land, the inland is safe.
And Xu Ziye began to build a magic tower. Such magic is also used for defense, but the project is a bit huge. After all, this is a whole independent continent. The distance between the magic tower and the magic tower must be guaranteed to reach another tower, so the magic tower needs to be built a lot. However, Xu Ziye does not lack human power and has many undead spirits. They do not need to rest or eat, and work day and night. It will take only half a year to spread the magic tower throughout the continent.
Rafi also got everything she wanted to know from Louis' mouth. Although she still had some opinions about Louis, her mood was much better than before.
During this period, Louis began to seize the time to understand Xu Ziye's troops, combat habits, everyone's abilities, etc. In fact, Louis knew about this before, but now he knew it in more detail.
Green buried the old king's body, and Xu Ziye promised Green not to take the old king's body for himself. Green can finally let the old king rest in peace.
Due to the tree of the world, plants on the continent began to die one after another. These light plants were slowly replaced by dark plants. These dark plants were entangled with high magic towers, and it seemed that this place was a land of undead from the beginning!
However, Xu Ziye is now facing a more difficult problem - resource shortage!
The shortage of black gems will cause many formations to fail to operate, even including defensive formations. Xu Ziye has tried his best to replace black gems with tree species, but he did not expect that it was still not enough.
It seems that I need to find some resources!
...
On another continent, Fitre frowned as he listened to his subordinates' reports.
"You mean, are there no living people on the Light of Justice now?" Fitrey asked.
"That's right, the merchant ships passing by were hijacked by the undead, and we also sent people to check them out. All the ports were moored by the undead warships, and the black plants could be seen everywhere on the shore. Even if Sandru did not kill the humans on the continent, humans would not be able to survive on that road again!" said an archbishop in white.
Fitrey nodded. His original intention was to let the countries on the Light of Justice fend for themselves, but Fitrey did not think that these three countries would be beaten like this. If Fitrey knew that his decision would result in the death of tens of millions of people, he would not be able to stand by any means.
He just wanted to use the hands of the undead to punish these three countries, but he didn't expect that these three countries would be so incompetent that they could destroy a newly-started undead.
Such a big thing seems impossible to hide it from the temple.
"I understand. I will inform the superiors of this matter. Thank you for your hard work, you can go down!" Fitre said to the archbishop in white.
Chapter completed!
