Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System-Chapter 399 - 183: Turbulent Situation
Soon, the captured undead was brought before Lear.
The figure was wrapped in layers of tattered black cloth, with chilling white bones protruding.
Its hollow eyes revealed a faint ghostly blue flame burning within.
It exuded an aura of sinister darkness.
One felt a chill and discomfort, as if entering a grave.
Undead Spy, Level 7, Traits: Can speak with the deceased to gather desired information...
Make the dead speak?
This attribute is domineering.
It’s practically a divine skill for intelligence gathering.
Before Lear could speak, the undead spy seemed to sense something, lifted its head, and its bony mouth opened and closed, a voice emerging from its hollow throat.
"Honorable Human Lord, greetings to you. I am the servant of His Majesty Koles, the Dragon Lich of Black Death City..."
Lear raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Black Death City... Koles?"
"Undead, what is your purpose here?"
"To gather and report intelligence around to His Majesty Koles... Our Black Death City is expanding."
"The glory of Black Death City needs to spread, and if nearby forces are willing to pledge allegiance to the great His Majesty Koles, they can become part of Black Death City."
"His Majesty Koles has constructed a Magic Tower in Black Death City, and all who pledge allegiance can learn three magical skills for free or advance one of their own skills."
"This is the preferential treatment His Majesty offers to everyone."
"Human Lord, although His Majesty Koles is a lich, his domain spans several planes and he has hundreds of thousands of followers."
"Among them are humans as well."
"If you are willing to become a part of Black Death City, I can immediately make introductions for you..."
Lear watched the undead spy speak eloquently, his expression peculiar.
Good grief, you’re trying to recruit me?
However, the other party’s words weren’t false... That Dragon Lich is strong enough to dominate several planes?!
His vigilance immediately heightened by several levels.
"As far as I know, His Majesty Koles is only a Level 17 creature... Having hundreds of thousands of followers seems exaggerated."
"His Majesty is a reincarnation of a divine spirit, inherently powerful and destined to become the Master of Undead! How can you compare His Majesty with mortal levels?!"
The undead spy became somewhat agitated, the Fire of the Soul flickering explosively.
Reincarnation of a divine spirit? So they’re throwing that term around, huh?
Waving a hand dismissively.
"The terms from a divine spirit’s reincarnation aren’t that enticing?"
"These are merely the initial terms offered by His Majesty Koles; specifics can be discussed in Black Death City."
"How large is Black Death City’s army that makes you so confident?"
"My master returned from the Undead Plane with hundreds of thousands of undead troops... It’s not something forces in this wilderness can withstand."
Undead Plane?
Lear’s gaze grew more serious.
This is a large plane beyond the Main Plane, gathering the entire Undead Pantheon.
It’s the ultimate place almost all undead yearn for.
It’s said to be directly created by the Creator God, and even the lowest level undead within it have a chance to transform into divine spirits.
However, the rules of the Main Plane make the Undead Plane an absolute, one-way passage.
If this Dragon Lich has indeed returned from the Undead Plane, then they must be quite something.
"What if I’m not interested in you?"
"You can relocate away from this swamp."
The undead spy’s voice remained calm.
"Within several hundred kilometers, it will all be His Majesty Koles’s domain, with no exceptions."
"This swamp is already within His Majesty’s sight range... Human Lord, you cannot hide."
Lear chuckled.
"So there’s no room for negotiation?"
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
He exuded an imposing, sacred power, like a sharp war saber, piercing its soul.
But as soon as it touched the Fire of the Soul, attempting to imprint a mark on it.
Crack~
The Fire of the Soul instantly shattered and extinguished completely.
Unable to enslave.
Lear frowned slightly.
He could sense a wicked and fierce power occupying the undead spy’s soul.
It also carried a faint Dragon’s Might.
Clearly a method of that Dragon Lich.
His expression grew more serious.
Those who can manipulate souls are never weak.
Turning his head towards the Crimson Queen Bee.
"Take someone immediately to follow this undead spy’s trail and find the Dragon Lich’s domain..."
That undead seemed to have quite the origin, with significant potential danger, and if not eliminated early, it could explode at any time.
What might happen then is unpredictable.
The outside situation has already begun to stir, and one of the main reasons for returning this time was to eliminate surrounding threats cleanly.
To allow Weilu City to continue having a safe developmental environment.
"Yes, Sovereign..."
The Crimson Queen Bee swiftly unfolded its wings and departed, leading tens of thousands of bees to begin an intensive search for Black Death City’s location.
While Lear was still pondering, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Haggs passing by not far away.
He snapped out of it, waved to stop him.
Took out the Ancient Lizard Egg obtained in Lorand City... He had forgotten to give it to him yesterday.
Seeing the somewhat puzzled look of the Wetland Lizard-man Hero, he said softly.
"These 10 stones are Ancient Lizard Eggs. Upon consumption, they can further enhance your Talent and Potential."
"Use them wisely... The enemies of Weilu City are becoming increasingly formidable, and I hope you can continue to keep pace with us."
Haggs’s eyes were full of joy, on the verge of tears from excitement.
"Sovereign..."
Lear waved a hand, letting him take it.
Haggs took it with excitement, not saying much more.
