MTL - For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King)-Chapter 253 dead dead

   Chapter 253 Dead Dead

   "It looks like someone came before us, who else knows about this place?"

   Looking at the Roots Gate that was destroyed beyond recognition, William turned his head and asked Ebony behind him.

   Ebony, who had been lost from the beginning, noticed William's gaze. He looked up at William feebly, and replied weakly in a tone that was almost self-talk:

   "No one knows this place except you, and...Frallo, who claims to have known this place for a long time, it should be like this..."

   And Flaro, who was on the side, immediately added:

   "His hands and feet are not very clean, and it's not a strange thing to be discovered by a caring person."

  William nodded slightly.

   No matter how close Ebony's thoughts are to the living, he is undoubtedly an undead in essence. Even if this undead can simulate the real reaction of the living to a large extent, so that William could not see the clue before, he will always lack some of the agility of the living when he does things.

   "I'll take a look first. If there is a dangerous situation, you must first cover the people here to leave. Remember, especially to protect the safety of Nezemal and Elis."

  William turned around and ordered Flaro, and in the next second, he left only an afterimage flashing with electric light and disappeared at the door.

   In fact, for a divine domain mage like Flaro, his reminder seemed a little too cautious.

  So, after being stunned for a second, Flallo whispered to himself like a complaint:

   "Are you treating me like a child..."

  …

   "Very good, very good... Anyway, this is quite a scandal."

   After ordering his subordinates to execute more than a dozen undead in public, those "people" were finally willing to cooperate with Elier's request.

   They gathered in an orderly manner on the square in the center of the camp, and squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads in neat hands—this set of movements was so smooth that it really didn’t look like a rigid undead, but it was no different from a real person.

  Seriously, if it wasn't for the guards from the "Tower of Oblivion" who could easily distinguish the difference between the dead and the living, Elaire might not have been aware of their identities.

   Right now, he looked at the undead who behaved too much like a human, with a satisfied smile on his face.

   It seems that this time I was lucky.

In other words, the arrogant guy Flaro is going to have bad luck this time - the Duke of Sacred Tree is privately raising the undead in the underground roots of Sacred Tree City. .

  Cuiyu Province is the granary of the empire. In order to prevent the land here from being polluted, the research and use of undead magic in the entire Cuiyu Province are legally prohibited.

   This is the basic legal clause written by the founding emperor, Terra I, in the "Empire Code · Jade Scroll" at the beginning of the founding of the country. Even taking into account the deep hatred of the forest elves for undead spells, Terra Riel asked for this law to be written down as the first legal guarantee.

   Considering the background of the large-scale undead magic tide that appeared not long ago in Blackwater Province - now the Star Council is discussing whether to limit the scale of undead magic in the Star Law. At this juncture, if the first person in charge of Cuiyu Province, the granary of the empire, is found to be conducting an inhuman undead experiment...

  In the Jade Province, it will arouse fierce opposition from the forest elves, and in the White House, it can be used as an important bargaining chip for the elders to put pressure on the queen.

  Although Elier knew that this trip would definitely be rewarding before he came, he did not expect it to be such a big reward. At this moment, he couldn't wait to know how much the York Speaker, with clear rewards and punishments, would give him after he returned to Platinum City this time.

If the Duke of the Sacred Tree can be brought down logically, maybe the Senate Royal Council can leave a seat for him, and then he will be able to truly step into the stage of the power center of the empire. .

   Thinking of this, Eliel couldn't help laughing.

   "What are you laughing at, dog of the Empire!"

   An untimely voice interrupted Eliel's fantasy.

   That is a tall, muscular forest elf.

   He slowly put down his hands, stood up, and looked straight into Elier's eyes.

   The multiple snake tattoos coiled around his arms turned into entities, they spit letters and danced beside him, making a hissing sound.

"Excuse me?"

  Irael tilted her head slightly, as if she hadn't heard clearly just now.

   "I asked what you were laughing at, dog of the Empire."

   The burly forest elf undead repeated word by word, and more tattoos turned into poisonous snakes, crawling out from his cuffs, collar and trouser legs.

   The person in front of her was somewhat familiar to Elier. It seems that a tribal patriarch who worships the viper totem was executed by Flaro for refusing to fulfill the request to let his subordinates join the "Wild Hunt" force.

   Unexpectedly, his corpse and soul were used by the woman to make a high-level undead creature.

"It's really rare, as an undead, it can carry such a strong intelligence and drive those great spirits. The necromancers I have seen in the platinum circle can't do this, your master Flaro is so Great?"

   says Elaire.

   Generally speaking, it is already a great achievement for the awakened undead to be able to say a few words with a little clearer logic. Undeads like this that looked indistinguishable from alive, it's no exaggeration to call them miracles - God knows how far the Duchess has gone.

   But the farther she went, the more mistakes she made, which Eliel liked to see.

   "Whose slave are you talking about?!"

   After Elier's words were spoken, the burly forest elf who took the initiative to stand up was like a ignited dynamite barrel, directly roaring and manipulating those poisonous snakes, attacking the human being in front of him from different directions.

  Ilay watched the dozen or so poisonous snakes with lethal venom dripping in their mouths attacking him, but he didn't even change his eyes.

The two men in black robes guarding him slightly raised their heads and looked at the poisonous snakes, and then they didn't see any other movements from them. The poisonous snakes that attacked Elaire from all directions made a "click" at the same time, His head was chopped off by something intangible.

  More than a dozen triangular-shaped viper heads disappeared as light spots before they landed. And those headless snakes also fell to the ground, and then quickly dissipated and faded like a fuze that had been ignited.

   "Did I say something wrong? You are not the undead that the Duke turned into?"

  Ilaire asked strangely, and then he continued:

   "Ah, you don't have to answer."

  The burly forest elf undead opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, or just wanted to swear a few more words... Then, his head flew up like those snake heads before.

   "Because you're dead."

   After finishing speaking, Elaire looked around at the remaining forest elves with a bit of regret, and said with three parts of sadness and seven parts of joy:

   "A word of exhortation, don't try to attack me for the rest of you, they don't know how complicated things are."

   That guy's head was chopped off so lightly, causing the remaining undead to let out a burst of exclamation. This made Elier feel the same emotion as when he had just found this place:

   "It's a rare thing for the undead to feel fear and sadness because of the death of their comrades."

  To be honest...is this really something undead magic can do? Even if it is, what kind of mentality does the person who makes this effect come from? He couldn't figure out why the woman did this.

   But now is not the time to think about it.

  The evidence, he has already obtained, but the question now is, how should he bring out the evidence here.

   After thinking for a while, he looked at the thirty or so surviving people in the square, searched for a while, pointed to the youngest boy among them, and instructed the guards beside him:

   "Go and bring that child here."

   It is impossible for him to take all the people here as evidence, so finding an easy-to-control one to bring back to Platinum Province is the best choice.

   "As for the rest..."

  Irael looked at the rest of the undead, who were shaking like humans, and couldn't help feeling nauseated.

  Although no one in this world has put forward the theory of "uncanny valley", people's mentality is still very close to this kind of thing that looks very human but is not human.

   Plus the need to destroy evidence that you were here…

   "Clean up the rest... that's a good thing."

   After thinking for a moment, Eliel came to this conclusion.

   After receiving the order, the guards who followed him turned their attention to the undead sitting on the ground at the same time - they seemed to attack at any time, and then...

   "Moon monster?"

   First there was a flashing electric light, and then a familiar voice suddenly appeared beside Elier.

   was the man he had seen in the Bone White House before, the Storm Province man whom the Duke called his advisor.

   All the guardians of the "Tower of Oblivion" turned their attention to this uninvited guest. And almost at the same time, he entered the highest-level combat state... that was a state Eliel had never seen before.

   However, the other party didn't care at all. He first looked at a few groups of human-shaped ashes not far away, and then at the undead whose head had just been beheaded—and his face immediately turned gloomy.

   "You killed a total of twelve people here?"

   The man looked at him and asked in a low tone.

   "Dead and..."

Before he could say the word "already", the man slapped him on the left cheek and slapped him about ten meters away—the reason he could stop was because he happened to hit a protruding object in the hall. on the root system.

   "Do you know what you just did?"

  The uninvited guest looked at Elier who was almost in a state of shock and said.

   "You...do you know what you just...did?!"

   Feeling dizzy, Eliel, whose jaw was dislocated, asked with difficulty and high spirits.

   "The order I gave them was to kill everything that attacked me. As long as it was an order given to them, even I couldn't undo it."

   "So, you're dead, stranger."

   Listening to his intermittent words, William looked around at the guards who had surrounded him, and suddenly became interested.

   In his perception of the etheric realm, these guys are not magic casters, no authority, or some other supernatural power holder. Compared with the extraordinary power that real human beings can use, the power fluctuations in them are closer to the existence of the moon.

   But there is no doubt that they are human beings in this world, and they are not even evokers who have signed a contract with the existence of the moon.

   This is similar to... an artificial moon-level capable person?

William has heard Remedios say that the two organizations established by the empire, the "Tower of Annihilation" and the "Devil Burial Agency", have conducted extremely in-depth research on the nature of the Moon Realm, and it is said that they have achieved breakthrough achievements. .

   So these guys are one of the so-called "achievements"?

  Thinking of this, William directly pulled out "Judgment II" with the hand that did not hold the magic agent.

  The artificial moon exists, will you be afraid of natural anti-moon weapons?
