Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 499 Later

"Ninety percent of the one million people in the fortress died in this accident, but fortunately we were able to transfer the supplies safely, so life was relatively comfortable at first.

"I was planning to spend some time like this and then look for a chance to return to the surface, but soon two dragons showed up."

Dragon Island!

The main event is coming!
Heine pulled himself together.

His eyes glanced at the top of the Mad King's head. He had not forgotten that there was a dragon soul hidden in the dagger.

"Are dragons considered creatures that possess top-level power in your time?" Heine asked.

"At best, they are just powerful beasts without a civilized society."

The Mad King explained, "They are powerful individually, but few in number, so they are quite dependent on humans for supplies. It was not a mystery in that era. When I was crowned king, Dragon Island sent me gifts, which were some of their shed materials and fresh dragon blood. In addition to alchemy, it is also a superior material for making strong liquor, and is very popular in Yongshang Castle."

It seems that trade between humans and dragons existed at that time.

Heine thought.

"Did they know Transfiguration then?"

"What Transfiguration?"

"I mean turning into a human or something."

"Impossible," the Mad King denied. "The most advanced flesh magic at the time was in the hands of Alan Gittier. If he couldn't do it, neither could a dragon."

It seems to be a problem with the blueprint.

Heine had a glimmer of understanding.

He wanted to ask the other party if he had heard of the goblin race.

But on second thought, the first humans evolved into different races later, so the goblins must have evolved later as well.

The Mad King continued, "...But these two dragons didn't come here to give me gifts. They said they found a special crack here that may lead to a contaminated plane. They wanted me to open the entrance for them to check. Humph, how rude!"

Heine was stunned: "You won't kill them both for this?"

Mad King: "How is it possible! How can a dignified emperor treat his guests like this? Of course I allowed them to check, and after getting the promise of not leaking the secrets, I also allowed them to take the test data back.

“After that, as I said, I would release some of my trusted followers every once in a while. I didn’t let them return here with any information. Instead, I ordered them to blend into human society and lie low.

“Into their souls I placed no curse, but a part of my soul’s roots.

“This is a two-way chain. On the one hand, it protects the pollution in their souls from being discovered. On the other hand, as long as their bloodline continues, my soul will also be endless.

“Four thousand years ago, the first person to leave was Alan Gittier, and about two hundred years later, my hunting captain, Raven Jamitisser, also left from here.

"After another three hundred years, there were less than a thousand people left in the underground palace, and most of the extraordinary people were very old. I sent out the elderly magic consultant Ivan McDake and my chief guard Grandio Seven... What's your expression?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little surprised."

Heine rubbed his face and felt like laughing.

The slap in the face comes so quickly.

He had just righteously told the other party, "You lost to Sepitiga."

But now it seems that after all this time, the world is still ruled by the descendants of these "superior people".

Not to mention Jittier, an old noble in the North and now the pillar of the temple.

Jamie Tisser may sound unfamiliar, but in fact, "The Wind of Sigh", that is, Ms. Katie's "Jamie Tislia", is a variant of Jamie Tisser.

In addition to his identity as the captain of the hunting team, he could almost guarantee that the "Sighing Wind" family who took Quelkus away from the Mourning Wood Valley and was later hunted by the Golden People was the so-called Jamie Tisse.

As for McDuck and Seven, there is no need to mention them.

When Huihui reached level 5, she was tested by the great lich Vega in the underworld and saw his memories from more than 700 years ago.

In Vega's memory, the McDuck family and the Seven family had been taking turns governing Macala a long time ago, and intermarriage between the two families was also common.

But later due to differences, the former took some people to the southern seas and established Veritas.

More than seven hundred years ago, Veritas had grown into an influential political entity, and the magic network had spread across the entire continent.

It is true that it is a small group of people who always influence the world.

"Did you hear any more rumors about these people later?" Heine asked.

"Besides Alan's descendants, are there other people who are also famous?" asked the Mad King.

"Uh……"

Heine didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Please continue and I will explain later."

The Mad King snorted slightly in dissatisfaction, but continued:
“Even if those who were not killed by the pollution could continue to survive, they would have lost the ability to reproduce. So another five hundred years passed, and I was the only one left in the entire underground palace, along with a few spirits.

"Fortunately, the supplies that had sustained a million people for twenty years not only still existed, but were also enough for me to complete the ritual of abandoning my body and ascending my soul, and transform myself into a 'spirit'." "Just in the year I completed the ritual, the slowly sinking dwarf temple above came into contact with my underground palace. Afterwards, I went to the temple in person in the form of a spirit, wanting to meet their 'god', and ended up discovering a nature spirit there.

“It calls itself Urumont. Its mind is still very confused, but it has already shown terrible aggression and a desire to destroy everything underground, as if it was born a bad seed.

“It didn’t take me much effort to suppress it, and I also saved a dwarf forger—Rakaz.

“That guy’s situation is a little special. He seems to have been devoured by Urumont, just like many servants of this temple.

"But the difference is that the devout faith seems to have awakened a soft corner in the heart of this nature spirit, so Lakaz was able to survive. Unfortunately, most of its memories were lost along with its soul."

Heine thought of Berio.

That guy abandoned his polluted body and hid the remaining pure soul in the castle.

It's a pity that this part of Urumont's pure soul cannot protect his own will, and can only subconsciously protect a devout dwarf servant.

Mad King: "I sealed it into a rune forging hammer to prevent it from completely dissipating, and then used the hammer to make a simple illusion generator. So Lakaz became the first experiencer of the illusion.

"It saw my prosperous capital, the majestic guards, and the loyal guards who continued to serve me as spirits in the vessel even after death. It thus firmly swore its allegiance to me and gained a new life."

There was reminiscence in the Mad King's tone, as if that beautiful dream appeared before his eyes.

Heine knew that as a king, he would not allow himself to indulge in such childish fantasies.

But if others are immersed in it, he will feel proud.

What a twist!

"So Lakaz also participated in the creation of the Soul Furnace Array?" Heine asked.

"Yes, we found that the material of this temple is special, which is just right for making the soul furnace array... After all, the materials are exhausted, and I also need souls to sustain myself."

Heine suddenly realized: "In other words, you are actually extracting the power of Urumont? And Urumont's power comes from Deathclaw Mountain. The real source of pollution is in this mountain... Are they those mutated corpses?"

Mad King: “Yes, as the temple merged with the mountain, the millions of corpses I buried in the underground palace became nutrients for the mountain... But I forgot that they were polluted and mutated, which was also the root cause of the Urumont mutation.

“I didn’t know this at the time. I maintained this eternal existence, allowing the pollution to spread and my mind to become confused.

"Everything that happened during this period was stored in the filthy soul essence and was isolated by me. But judging from the results, I killed Urumont and devoured it, and also killed the two dragons that had returned."

He sighed, "Ossidre and Flaos, they were the two sisters who discovered the rift here many years ago, but after they left, the owner of the rift - the being in the underworld seemed to have discovered something and has not made any unusual movements.

“He is like a seasoned and steady hunter, waiting until I am polluted and fall into madness before He makes His move.

"I guess He used the rift to lure the two giant dragons to investigate, and then I, who was greedy and violent at the time, tricked them into letting down their guard, and then took action when they checked the rift.

"As for the result, you have already seen it. Whenever I appear on it, I look like a madman bound by chains. However, I don't even know how it all happened."

"What about this dagger?" Heine asked hurriedly, "How did you separate your soul?"

"It was Lakaz." The Mad King explained, "Lakaz used the statues in the temple that were soaked in faith and the rune spells I taught it to create sixteen colossi. It used them to dig out the road you saw when you came in, and also chiseled a gap in the Soul Furnace Array, making it temporarily ineffective.

"The failure of the magic circle blocked my path to absorb pollution, and with the 'power of purification' from the outside world, I became lucid for a moment. I used my own body as an anchor and relied on Ossidre's dragon soul as a medium to separate my consciousness from the soul."

Heine was even more surprised!

Barry cut it directly at first, and after cutting it, he was left with a bottle of anger.

Saberia cut it and threw it to Eli, directly creating a lich.

After being cut, Quelkus was thrown into the Scar of Withering, which is still a famous tourist attraction.

After Loulton had cut the tree, he blew it up.

How come the Crazy King can be used as a secondary account after being cut off? ? ?

"Where is that soul? How did you get out of it?" he asked hurriedly.

"Because there is another dagger. I used the dragon soul of Furaos as a bridge, anchored in Urun - the core of Urumont."

As the Mad King explained, a dragon soul the size of a head brought a stone with a dagger stuck in it to Heine.

Urun means the heart of the mountain in the dwarven language, and Heine knew this.

"If the core of the nature spirit is still there, then it can't be killed. The so-called devouring is just taking away the part that 'grew' from it. The root is still there."

"I understand……"

Heine thought for a moment, "That is to say, if you want to come back, you only need to threaten with the dagger on the heart of the mountain, and the Urumont you devoured will act as an 'agent' and bear the influence of this madness for you."

The Mad King was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to be so good at this."

More than that!
Heine really wanted to retreat tactically.

This job is so familiar!

So he stopped pretending and just extended an olive branch!

"Do you want to get out of here safely?"
