Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1938 66. The Marquis of Sindani who knows the current affairs: Is it too late to abdicate now to ensure safety?

The lich, this unique life form is one of the ultimate creations of the death force at the magical level.

They have unique shapes, immortal souls, powerful magic, cold thinking, and eternal life. They completely abandon weak flesh and blood, detach their spirit from matter, and use the wisdom of truth to fade away their stupidity. and reshape the self into a higher order being.

At least they think so.

Even in Maldraxxus, the origin of the undead population, which has undead creatures that include all kinds of strange life forms, high-level undead such as liches belong to the topmost existence of the "undead food chain".

They are mysterious, powerful, knowledgeable and advocating stealth.

However, even in the land of the origin of the undead, the number of liches is still very small.

In addition to becoming a lich, you must first have a heart for seeking truth and a knowledgeable soul. In this country full of warrior souls, which are very difficult and rigid conditions, to become a lich must be done independently." Transformation Ceremony".

Not to mention how complicated this ceremony is, its most serious problem is that it is extremely dangerous.

Failure to pass the transformation ceremony means that the souls of the Lich apprentices will be annihilated in the out-of-control ritual, which means that the souls will be scattered and ashes will be wiped out.

No matter for the undead or the living, this ritual belongs to the kind of death option that a normal-minded guy would never try.

From this point of view, it makes sense that the liches in the secret courtyard of rituals are very arrogant and always look at people with their nostrils. They do have the capital of pride.

Every lich in existence is a victor who has faced death in the face of eternal death and survived the battle, and victors are known to have many privileges in Maldraxxus.

But today, the victors of the Ritual Academy encountered trouble, big trouble in the true sense.

"Who else!"

Surrounded by a group of howling demon armies, the crazy old man Sakir was holding the frost skull of Zoerna the Frostbinder madly.

The violent master warlock swung in the air with the sharply severed blade of the Lich Baron, and shouted to the group of silent liches surrounding him:

"I'll just ask you one question! Who else thinks that I'm not qualified to be a lich? Stand up! Come on, stand up and let's reason!"

Just now, all the liches and their psychic apprentices witnessed this damned lunatic warlock using his own skull as a weapon, constantly summoning demons into the kingdom of death, and forcibly defeated the baron of the lich with the advantage of numbers. In the field of cold wind, he used an unbelievably powerful "magic martial skill" to defeat the frostbinder's necromantic servants head-on.

The scene where the two sides pointed at Biao's death made even a group of official liches feel chills.

What is the origin of this lunatic?

With the death force suppressing the evil force, he was able to defeat Zollner the Frost Binder in the proving ground with brute force and unparalleled combat experience, even in front of the watchful eyes of the entire Ritual Academy Beheaded the lich.

Although as far as liches are concerned, as long as the phylactery is still there, they will never die, and it doesn't hurt to have their heads chopped off or something.

But the behavior of the old man Sakir in front of him has clearly exceeded the definition of fighting and exchanging ideas. This guy is clearly provocative!

It is specially run to do things!

If placed in the Secret Academy of Soul Selection or the Secret Academy of Creation, Sakir's provocative behavior will definitely reap merciless counterattacks from the undead, but in the eyes of the group of gloomy liches in the Academy of Rites, this kind of madness The provocation is obviously meaningless.

They easily suppressed the not-so-angry mood in their hearts, and analyzed it rationally. Everyone began to feel that the purpose of this group of wandering liches who came to participate in the assessment on behalf of the Academy of Soul Selection was not pure. up.

And this scene was also seen by Marquis Sindani on the dome of the floating city.

The Marquis was a little annoyed when he saw the head of the Lich Baron he picked was being held in the hands of the lunatic warlock as a meteor hammer. While provoking the Liches, he was clearly hitting himself in the face!

What a bunch of arrogant and barbaric outsiders.

However, as an ancient person who has controlled the Ritual House for several epochs, Marquis Sindani's thinking is obviously more appropriate. She has tasted a different taste from the abnormal behavior of these outsiders.

While the Lich Marquis quietly dispatched the air force from the Ritual Academy to scout around, he focused his attention on the other Lich Baron without saying a word.

She believed that her loyal and capable Baron Bamidal would not let her down.

that's the truth.

Compared to "Frost Binder" Zoellner, who became a Lich Baron five years ago, a somewhat unstable genius rookie, "Last Breath" Bamidal is a veteran powerhouse of the Ritual Academy .

Although there were ups and downs in the long life of a lich, who was kicked out of the baron's throne several times and regained it several times, the ups and downs also proved that this guy who was favored by the Marquis Sindani had two things. Put the brush on.

At least in terms of making good use of wisdom, Baron Bamidal is much better than Zoellner.

Facing challenges from other outsiders, Bamidal did not recklessly use the most direct spell confrontation.

Although he was also very confident in his spellcasting ability, after witnessing Zoellna the Frostbinder being dismantled from the Lich's body by a crazy foreign soul, the old baron immediately realized that this group of seemingly harmless people Outsiders do not have power.

Head-on conflict is not worth it!

Even if he tries his best to defeat all the challengers, he will be defeated sooner or later in the face of the round-robin battle of the remaining companions who are eager to stand out and do not speak martial arts.

This is self-defeating.

Any lich with a city mansion shouldn't put himself in that embarrassing situation.

Therefore, in the face of the challenge of the three foreign liches, Old Meri, Antonidas, and Elisande, Baron Bamidal decisively chose the field that intellectuals are better at.

It's going to fight them in the debate on death magic theory!

And as a veteran powerhouse who has been studying in the Lich Holy Land for a long time, Baron Bamidal is still very confident in his theoretical knowledge level.

but

"Why use your title?"

Baron Bamidal was suspended on the test platform, and said to the few outsiders in front of him very dissatisfied:

"Recognize your identities, wandering liches, it is the great and eternal Marquis who allows you to participate in the assessment of the Ritual Academy. You should be grateful instead of constantly provoking the sacred tradition."

"If you are a lich who upholds tradition, then you are definitely not a qualified lich."

Dean Lan Yue, who did not participate in the Baron's challenge, pushed his glasses coldly, and said to Baron Bamidal:

"In our world, only those researchers who disobey the decadent tradition and devote themselves to the most cutting-edge and deviant magical subjects will make up their minds to walk the path of the lich.

In our eyes, the dangerous transformation ritual is a symbol of fighting against corruption and pursuing change. Only eternal life can support us to go further on the road of truth.

I'm actually sorry.

When I came to the origin of Lich Power, what I saw was not a group of enterprising researchers, but a group of power creatures full of decay. "

Speaking of this, Dean Lanyue glanced at the few research notebooks she had just collected from those Lich apprentices. The obsolete topics on them made her feel as if she had walked into a museum.

Although I have to admit that the Ritual Academy does have two brushes in the pure field of deepening the study of the death force, it is worthy of being a holy place for liches, and its background is far beyond the research of the psychic school of Azeroth.

But that's about it.

In addition to the brilliance in this field, the research in other fields is not to mention lackluster, and it can even be said that there is no grass.

The liches of Maldraxxus do not devote their wisdom to other realms at all, and they seem to have become accustomed to dedicating all their curiosity to the realm of death.

This kind of focus is amazing, but it is obviously not enough to provide a stage for more researchers to display their talents. Just look at the level of internal struggles in the Ritual Academy.

When brilliant intelligence cannot be fully invested in the pursuit of truth in the right field, it evolves into an idle gear that consumes precious passion and spreads the terrible poison called "mediocrity".

But it shouldn't be like this!

Dean Lanyue is very dissatisfied with the state of the Ritual Academy at this time.

This place could have done greater things, but it chose to fall along with the other secret houses of Maldraxxus.

"Then let's make a compromise, Baron Bamidal, who represents the majesty of Marquis Sindani."

Dean Lanyue turned around to discuss with her companions, and she turned to the arrogant Baron Lich in front of her and said:

"Use your subject first, then our subject.

The judges can use your people and choose as fair as possible. In fact, I hope that Marquis Sindani can personally serve as the judge of this trial of wisdom. "

"Hehe, how honorable the Marquis is."

Baron Bamidal sneered a few times, feeling that these outsiders in front of him were really whimsical.

There are only five marquises in the entire Maldraxxus, and they are the real rulers in charge of this dead country under the command of the military master. How can such a big man have the energy and time to play this kind of challenging game with a few outsiders.

"Then I'll do it!"

Just when the baron was about to ridicule these outsiders, a familiar and majestic voice suddenly appeared above the entire trial field, causing all the liches and apprentices present to bow down and pay respects.

That is the Marquess of Sindani!

The honorable Ms. Marquis left her floating city and came to the trial field to preside over the assessment in person. This is an honor that has never been seen in thousands of years.

It wasn't until Marquis Sindani actually landed on the ground that Dean Lan Yue could see the real figure and face of Marquis Lich clearly.

It has to be said that, as the initiator and maintainer of the Lich inheritance, the appearance of the first Lich, Sindani, born in Maldraxxus and even in the entire Six Force Domains is indeed completely different from other Liches.

First, her body.

She is not a mere entity or spirit, but an odd form somewhere in between.

Hidden under the gorgeous golden bone mage armor is a ghostly body constructed of pure green death energy, but gray-black skeletons can still be seen looming in the cold death energy on the arms and waist.

This makes the Marquess of Sindani look as unique as a cross between a banshee and a skeleton.

Secondly, her mage armor is also different.

There is no such robe and skirt design commonly used by other liches, like the plate armor used by queens.

Thick shoulder armor with barbs is formed on the chest and shoulders, and a golden waist armor with strange skulls embellished with purple crystals is shaped on the waist, while the lower body is a death scroll-style battle robe with a skull in the waist armor.

Beyond that, the rest of her unique soul-body is wrapped in a ciphered shroud that looks like the perfect combination of glam and grunge.

Finally, and most importantly, Lady Sindani the Marquess is a powerful demilich with a unique understanding of hairstyles.

She is obviously a beauty-loving soul, even after abandoning the flesh and blood, she still stubbornly shapes the "long flowing hair" above the forehead of the lich bone skull wearing a purple crystal bone crown.

Well, it is actually dark green hair woven by a large group of death energies flying in the wind.

But being able to weave energy to a physical level like real hair is enough to prove that Marquis Sindani's spellcasting skills are close to God's super control.

At least Dean Lanyue admits that she can't do this at all. Queen Azshara may be able to do it, but that is when she must do her best to maintain this "soul hair" state.

However, Marquis Sindani's super hairstyle is already permanent.

From this point, it can be shown that the spellcasting ability of this Lich Marquis is indeed better than that of Azshara, and of course it is Azshara who is currently paralyzed.

With the determined attitude of the beautiful and slutty Queen of the Deep Sea and Bu Laike after the farewell cannon, it is estimated that within a few hundred years, the Queen will complete her ascension to God.

"This trial of the truth communication between the knowledge spokesmen of the Soul Selection Secret Academy and the ancient, glorious and sacred Ritual Academy will be presided over by me personally."

Marquis Sindani spread out her hands, and let the psychic scepter left by the military master draw a green streamer in the air.

She declared loudly and majestically:

"This may be an opportunity, my subjects, we have been immersed in ancient traditions for too long, and our compatriots in other worlds have brought us a spark of change in this moment of change. .

I think this is worth pondering for each of us.

Is our current conservatism really what the military master wants to see?

I think the result of this trial will answer this question that is deeply hidden in our hearts. Then, with the power bestowed on me by the Lord of Arms, I declare!

The trial of knowledge begins! "

At the moment when Marquis Sindani's voice fell, Baron Bamidal and several liches on the opposite side bowed down to pay tribute to each other, and then a bone knight sent a test subject, and everyone's attention was on this In the competition of wisdom, Lord Marquis said in the language of the soul expressionlessly:

"I've said everything you asked me to say.

I believe this is the will of the military master, and I am willing to dedicate my strength to the last will of the military master. This is my responsibility as the commander of the secret academy.

Um, can you move the sword you put around my neck?

That sword of yours is really dangerous! An outsider, she is greedy, vicious and dangerous, as long as you slip your hand, you will be charged with assassinating the Marquis of Sacrifice. "

In the shadow behind Marquis Sindani, Bo Laike stretched his neck and snorted, took back the Blade of Sorrow in his hand, reached out and patted Marquis Sindani on the shoulder, and said:

"I didn't see it. You, a guy with a bad eye for picking allies, is quite knowledgeable about current affairs. I haven't threatened you much yet, so you just knelt on the spot."

"Do you still need to threaten me? The evil god of a foreign land."

Marquis Sindani said angrily:

"The Secret Court of Soul Selection, the Secret Court of Creation, and the Secret Court of Sharp Eyes have surrounded my ritual secret court from three directions. As long as I dare to shake my head here, your allies will rush into my city and bring Terrible destruction.

I don't know how you all came together.

But what I can be sure of is that if I don't jump into your camp right now, then I can only become one of you in another way. "

"Ha, smart man, I like it."

Bu Laike pulled out the rune sword that the lord had given him in the Torghast tower before, and lightly pierced the cryptic shroud behind Marquis Sindani into her extremely cold body of death energy. A few seconds later When it was pulled out, the fourth faint blue war inscription on the sword had been lit up.

Lord Cthulhu glanced at the knowledge confrontation on the test platform, the two sides of the language debate, his eyes stayed on Alya Lanyue who was in charge of the command department for a moment, and a touch of tenderness disappeared in a flash.

The next moment, he said behind the Marquis Sindani:

"Don't you think that Ms. Lanyue is very suitable to be the helm of the Ritual Academy in the next era? She will definitely make this ancient holy place great again."

"what about me?"

Sindani asked angrily:

"For the sake of this old woman who obviously has some strange relationship with you to take the throne, strange evil god, you have to sacrifice me? Do you think I will agree to this ridiculous proposal?

Don’t think that you can do whatever you want because you are the envoy of the military master, you have to promise something to let me.”

"I can sell you a vessel of the Eternal, my dear Ms. Sindani, don't you want to become a god? Of course, you have to leave the kingdom of shadows and never come back."

"I told you earlier that you have this good thing, generous evil god, let's make a deal!"
