The knight in the abyss

Chapter 515 Obelisk

Hearing this, Karaline immediately turned his magic eyes to the right, and an obelisk shining with lavender aura appeared in everyone's field of vision.There is a huge stone platform in front of the obelisk, and two 'corpse bearers' are swinging fresh frost giant corpses up.

The angle of view gradually narrowed, and the purple light on the obelisk gradually became stronger, covering the body of the corpse.Some kind of indescribable energy poured into that corpse, and after a few breaths, the dead frost giant slowly sat up from the stone platform, joined the team of other giant zombies as if sleepwalking, and stood still .

"So this is the device that transforms the corpse into an undead creature." Karaline murmured, controlling the secret magic eye and leaning towards the obelisk, "Let me see how it does all this..."

There are a large number of obscure arcane symbols on the obelisk, but the scholar seems to read it with gusto, and took out a pen and paper in his hand, and began to copy the patterns on the obelisk, chanting words such as 'energy storage', ' Words such as "transformation" and "command imprint" are completely immersed in their own world.

"Uh, so these giant zombies didn't come naturally, did they?" Brutal couldn't help but said, "So who the hell set up this device? Could it be that it died long ago, so it's always Didn't you 'take away' this army of undead?"

"Dead? Sort of, but it's technically alive..."

"What does that mean?" The dwarf was completely confused by him, "How can there be people who are both dead and alive?"

"Those creatures with undead bodies but self-awareness are in this state, such as the little Isa who is a vampire..." Kara Lin moved the perspective upwards, aiming at a special emblem in the middle of the obelisk, "and The owner of this emblem."

When everyone took a closer look, the black emblem looked like a mace and a scepter, with a humanoid skull on top.

"This is..." Lancelow's mind quickly flashed the knowledge that the scholar had told him, "The evil emblem of 'Immortal Monarch' Ocus?"

"That's right, I should have thought of it earlier." The scholar replied firmly, "Except for the undead Maharaja, who else would have the idea of ​​these giant corpses?"

"I see." Lancelow nodded, "But this obelisk shouldn't be erected by itself, right?"

"The possibility is very small. The abyss lord can sense the powerful existence that enters his own country, and the angry prince is notoriously hostile to all Tanari. It is strange that the two do not fight when they meet. But the immortal You have a huge sect under your command, and this obelisk was probably set up by one of its agents..."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" The dwarf finally couldn't help it, "Who are you talking about? Ocus, one of the three giants of the abyss?"

"That's right, that's it. If you forgot, I can introduce you to this lord of the abyss who has a legendary experience." The scholar had already copied the runes on the front, and moved his perspective to the right side of the obelisk. "While a mortal, Ocus was a powerful and evil spellcaster, and after death, like many evil spirits, he became a worm of the lowest order, and climbed from the River Styx to the Plain of the Abyss In the following thousands of years, it continued to improve its position on the ladder of the abyss, from worms to original demons, from original demons to cowards, and then to monstrous monsters, fro demons, khis demons, miraculous demons Seducer, nectar, and finally a balor."

"Wow, it sounds very similar to Bayer on the devil's side. They all climbed up from the bottom of the demon step by step." Brutal shook his head and exited the state of sharing vision, "But this sounds It seems to have nothing to do with undead creatures, why is its title Undead Maharaja?"

"This is caused by its resurrection from the dead." The werewolf old Lepp took over the conversation, "Ocus was originally one of the three giants of the abyss, and he fought fiercely with Demogorgen and Graz'zt, but probably in the More than 100 years ago, it was killed by the nemesis of the drow elves, Qi Yawen Sari, the country was occupied, and even its name was almost wiped from the multiverse. Fortunately, a loyal priest revived it and took it back Okus is now a unique undead demon with a powerful ability to control undead creatures, so he has won the title of undead lord."

"Many people are confused by Ocus's well-developed physical body and violent fighting style, while ignoring the fact that it is a top-level spellcaster." Karalin has already used up three full parchment scrolls, and he also temporarily from Withdrew from the state of the secret magic eye, "Look at the magic runes on this obelisk, so refined, so concise..."

"It looks more complicated than my beard." The dwarf stared at the lines and lines that meant nothing to him, "Can you understand what these are for?"

"As long as it is 'written' magic, I can understand the general structure." The scholar smiled proudly, "The runes on the front of the obelisk are the center of control. Fresh corpses, it will immediately activate the magic circle on the right to transform the undead, and at the same time input a series of instructions engraved on the left side of the obelisk to the transformed object. And the runes on the back provide energy for all activities, which looks very It looks like it resonates with the negative energy plane..."

"Wow, you can see so much content from those messy lines?" The dwarf opened his eyes wide in surprise, "If you have learned all of them, can you also cast the same spell?"

"It's just that I can understand it. It's much more difficult to reproduce it, and I don't have much research on necromancer magic." The scholar shook his head, "But the most important thing is to learn the idea of ​​the undead maharaja, I'm not I have never seen runes that transform undead or communicate with negative energy planes, but none are as simple as the ones on this obelisk. If I can figure out a few simplified methods among them, it will be very helpful to improve my spellcasting ability helpful."

"Since they are transformed through obelisks, these giant zombies have no direct creators, right?" Lancelot said suddenly at this moment, "You mentioned a series of commands to the newly transformed objects, can they Can you see what these instructions are? Are there any instructions similar to confirming the identity of the ruler?"

"Of course, that's what the emblem of Ocus does. From the perspective of the rune circuit, the last step of the entire transformation ceremony is to activate that emblem and stamp the seal of 'Master' on the consciousness of the newborn giant zombie .” The scholar had a vigilant look on his face, “You ask this...why?”
