Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 644 Chapter 641 Counting the cards
In the seventy-two plus two stone pillar hall, the Lich Master sat on the stepped throne as always. I don't know if it was an illusion, but when I saw him when I came back this time, Zhuang Xuteng had the feeling that the Lich Master was integrated with the entire building. It turns out that the building is a building and the dead are the dead, and the differences are very clear. Nowadays, the Master of the Necromancer lacks a bit of "agility" and "activity" and has become more like a statue, or a life-size handicraft, a skull ornament that matches the architectural style.

He expressed his thoughts to the Lich Master. The Lich Master was obviously stunned. He thought for a while before speaking.

"I have begun to die and entered an irreversible process. I don't know how long this process will last. According to observations of other lichs, it usually takes about five hundred to two thousand years." The Lich Master seemed to be saying something related to Regarding matters that had nothing to do with him, his tone was calm and calm, exactly the same as when he was explaining spells and spells. "The essence of this process is to forget oneself. Most lichs cannot discover that they have entered this process on their own and need to be reminded by others. I am relatively lucky. At least you remind me so that I can find ways to delay this process."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said: "Five hundred to two thousand years... Even if it is the shortest five hundred years, I will definitely die, and this world will almost end. Your wish is over, and there is no scenery to see or people around." Why do you want to extend your life when you can communicate?”

Master Lich turned to look at Zhuang Xuteng and said: "After entering this state, mana is lifespan. Every time I cast a spell, I need a long rest, and rest is full of danger for me. It is very likely that I will die after entering meditation. You will forget yourself and never wake up, so I want to extend my life by accumulating mana while I am awake. You don’t need to think too much.”

"It's better to think about it while you're still alive. Be prepared to take over my body at any time. By the way, if I can't give you my complete body, just don't blame me." Zhuang Xuteng laughed. voice, said.

Master Lich leaned forward and asked, "What happened? The company discovered your threat and began to mobilize its forces to surround you?"

"Yes!" Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "I am running away now, planning to borrow a way from the Shadow Realm to return to Peicheng."

"With your ability, if you concentrate on escaping, no one will be able to catch you." Master Lich stood up and walked down from the throne, came to Zhuang Xuteng and sat at the foot of the steps with him. "Even in my world, many people have the ability to detect other people's spells, but it is still difficult to catch you. Maybe you don't know how difficult it is to catch you, so the question now is: Are there people around you? With someone you can’t abandon? Tell me in detail.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded. "I rescued my sister from Constitution City, the capital. Brother Dao is also with me, as well as Dr. Senner and his right and left hands."

He then began to describe the current situation, including the "talisman" given to him by Qian, the owner of White Flag Grocery Store. This time Zhuang Xuteng was very candid and stated his thoughts and requirements. "There is also a company film channel near Peicheng. Although there will definitely be people from the company guarding it, there is still a chance to break through. Once Brother Dao returns to Peicheng, he can take advantage of being more familiar with the environment, at least with Zhuang Feifei lurked."

"Then what are you going to do?" Master Lich asked.

"I will not stay in Peicheng. Wherever the company is stronger, I will attack." Zhuang Xuteng smiled bitterly and said: "I have done a lot of tactical deductions and found that I can only fully unleash my threat capabilities by acting alone. The biggest hit to the company.”

"What are you going to hit? Company offices? Industrial parks?"

"All are possible, but I think the first target is the mine in the Shadow Realm. Affected by the environmental characteristics of the Shadow Realm, the reconstruction of the mine is the most difficult. The mines are relatively isolated, and there are only so many entrances and exits, which makes it easier for me to choose. The key point is that I am not afraid of the erosion of the shadow world, which means that I can always win the war of attrition. In addition, I have a safe place to hide."

"I knew you were planning the Wall of Sighs. I have to remind you first: you can pass through the Wall of Sighs, but no one else can get in. I neither want to let them in, nor do I have the ability. The Wall of Sighs is compressed. It’s too powerful. The entire magic circle system is in an extremely tense state. Modifying the magic operations that pass the rules is likely to cause the magic circle to collapse from within. The risk is too great. "

"Isn't it possible in an emergency?" Zhuang Xuteng blinked and asked.

"Not even in an emergency situation - it takes ten days just to prepare that spell. You have also seen that my spell material reserve is empty. It is no more than the flesh on my body. The lack of spell materials has greatly reduced the My spellcasting ability, the more complex the spell, the more obvious the impact."

"Understood." Zhuang Xuteng nodded. "I still want to know if I can borrow a passage from the Shadow Realm? Only you know the topography of the Shadow Realm, especially the distribution of the entrance and exit passages in the Shadow Realm."

"Yes!" Master Lich's words reassured Zhuang Xuteng, and his next words even moved Zhuang Xuteng a little. "The terrains of the two worlds do not correspond one to one. Perhaps only I can figure out the relationship. I think the company still has not been able to fully explore the entire Shadow Realm due to environmental constraints, and their maps will most likely have errors. Don't worry. , I will help you transport people to Peicheng, and maybe help them smuggle out. "

"Thank you so much! How do you sneak out?"

"It doesn't take much effort to create two more invisible rings like the ones I gave you. Anyway, they will only be used this time. They are temporary creations that only consume mana and do not require real gold and silver magic materials." The Lich Master said: " In addition, the distance from the unstable single entrance to the Peicheng exit is not close, and the terrain along the way is not good. I can make a few wraith servants to send them there. It is not as fast as a car, but it is almost the same."

"Wow, this takes away a lot of my worries." Zhuang Xuteng was about to hold Master Lich's hands to express his gratitude.

"Take your hand back! This is not without prerequisites and costs." Master Lich said: "You will provide all the mana used in casting this spell, including resentment."

"Yeah. Is there any more?"

"No more." Master Lich laughed twice, and then said: "You are finally going to take action. I really want to see how you torment those corporate bastards. They invaded my world, not only all day long, but also He should have been punished long ago for beating up my family and digging up the ashes of my compatriots. "Uh... Didn't you bother them a lot in the Shadow Realm?"

"How is it possible? When I first discovered those guys, I killed them one by one. This lasted for more than three hundred years, but they still kept sending people in to explore." Master Lich said: "I saw it from your stone pillar There is a passage that says that as long as they make profits, they don't care about life or death, even if they sell their own nooses, this touches me very much. Moreover, the people in the company are very smart. They continue to learn from their failures and gradually stand firm. Heel."

"Can they beat you? Are the company's enhanced people so powerful?"

"That's not the case. In the shadow world, whoever I want to die will definitely die, but this process becomes more and more cumbersome and begins to consume my magic materials. In order to finally destroy the world, I have to keep Using materials to create magic circles reduces the number of actions. At the same time, I also found that people in the company began to develop shadow magic, and some people were able to increase their protection. I understood: Continuous discussions with me will make them stronger. . Either don’t take action, or try to kill everyone at once.”

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and said, "I've heard you say this before... so you don't think much of my aggressive behavior? Do you think the company will adapt to it, learn something, find ways to deal with it, and turn defeat into victory?"

"Yes, that's what I think." Lich Master's tone remained calm, he said: "I think your attack will succeed every time, the company will be severely damaged by you, and I will also get happiness in the process. But Your attack capabilities are limited by mana, stamina, and energy, so the company has time to adjust.”

"There is no spell in the world that can truly predict the future, so we can only look to the past to find the basis for the possible direction of things. I am a sleepless undead. My spell reserves are several times yours, and my spell methods are much more than yours. At that time, The Shadow Realm Portal restricted me and gave the company a breathing space, which is similar to your current situation. The company has survived and developed, and there is no reason to think that they can’t do it now.”

Zhuang Xuteng secretly did not want to admit that Master Lich was right. "Now the four major companies have established a tacit understanding, which is much better than the situation in their corporate wars. Without restraints from each other, they will only learn lessons and make progress faster. It would be great if their leaders could be directly destroyed and let them Without command, lessons cannot be learned.”

"Good idea, but do you know where their leader is?" Lich Master said: "They must have thought of the tactics you can think of, otherwise they would have been beheaded during the four corporate wars. In addition, you said they There is also an intelligence center. Don’t be misled, your intelligence network is very interesting, it allows scattered people to gather their brains out of thin air, so that you can’t catch their location.”

"It's really troublesome... I also thought about taking a few company executives as hostages to make sure my family is safe first."

The Lich Master snorted and said: "No, if I were from the company, I would not let you get what you want. Rather than preventing you from sneak attacks again and again, it is better to kill you once and for all. If the company continues for so many years, there must be Talent reserve and continuity plan, how many hostages can you capture at one time? It is too big now. If you can’t kill it at one time, it can recover.”

"You can't just surrender because there is no hope!"

"So I don't stop you from fighting the company. Anyway, after you die, I will get your body, which will only cause a small loss to me." The Lich Master said: "Without you talking to me, my death will be faster. It will speed up, but that’s about it.”

Zhuang Xuteng stared at the Lich Master for a while, smiled bitterly, and then clapped his hands on his face to cheer himself up. Regardless of the outcome, destroying the company to divert their attention so that Zhuang Feifei can survive in Peicheng under the protection of Brother Dao must be done no matter what. "The Gardener Organization gave me something called a Smile Bomb, saying it can ignite the shadow energy and burn the enhanced person to death. Master Lich, do you think the shadow energy can be ignited?"

"I didn't think it was possible, so I was curious to see what that failed organization could come up with."

Zhuang Xuteng has always believed that the wisdom of the Lich Master is his most important trump card, and the undead spell is the direct reason why he has not been caught by the company yet. At a critical moment, there was no need to hide it, so Zhuang Xuteng fully shared the smile bomb technique with the Lich Master.

After reading it, the Lich Master began to calculate. It can erect a new pillar in the Stone Pillar Hall specifically for the Shadow Spell, which is the result of its continuous learning and research - of course with the help of Zhuang Xuteng. Currently, the Lich Master can roughly convert the Shadow Spell into a spell form that he is familiar with, and then rely on his rich experience to remove obvious errors after the conversion, and then complete and correct the spell based on the spell effect and spell ideas.

After a while, the Lich Master said: "I still have the same view as before: something is wrong with this thing. I think shadow energy and resentment are two different things. The latter has emotionality, but shadow energy does not. Decay is not the same thing. An emotion is just a property, just like rust, death, and poisoning. Zhuang Xuteng, you should understand what I’m talking about.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded. "I understand. Shadow Clan energy and Shadow Clan side effects are not the same thing. The latter is similar to resentment. But Palovich said that this type of bomb has been tested and can indeed kill enhanced people."

"His words are not necessarily accurate. In addition, how many times has this weapon been tested? I guess not many?" Master Lich shook his head and said: "According to its design method, it should have a certain degree of resentment. The effect, in other words, is to cause side effects that strengthen people, and you have better methods to kill them in this regard, so you don’t need to use this.”

"Then I will give this thing to them and stop distracting my energy." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I will continue to focus on the Nine Flashes and strengthen the sensory tentacles. They are the technology that can really help me when I am besieged. Ah, by the way, I also learned about something very interesting, which can be used to extend the range of spells. It's so powerful that I can't even catch up with its expansion speed and casting range with my sensory tentacles."

"Huh?" Master Lich's tone increased twice, and it obviously didn't believe it. "What's the range of your sensory tentacles now? Is it more than three kilometers? You should be able to reach out with just a thought, right? How come there are others faster and farther than you?"

"Dr. Senna, his shadow magic has only one ability: to move soil with a specific moisture content. He developed a method to integrate himself into the surrounding shadow energy environment, so that..."

Zhuang Xuteng also brought out Dr. Senna's technology, and Master Lich listened with special concentration. Judging from his appearance, if he and Dr. Senner were to meet, the two of them should be able to chat. After Zhuang Xuteng finished speaking, Master Lich calculated for a while and then praised: "This skill is very valuable. It is necessary to combine it with your sensory tentacles. Maybe it can become your trump card!"
