The Princess of Light and her companions have not yet confronted the Imperial Army and are still waiting for the return of the Knights of Daylight.
If the Daylight Knights can bring back some good intelligence, it will be more advantageous for them to negotiate with the Imperial Army.
However……
"Nikko, what's wrong with you!"
Following the cry of a bird, everyone was extremely surprised to see the Sunlight Knight limping off his pet.
The Moonlight Knight quickly stepped forward and asked worriedly, only to find that the Daylight Knight was still looking frightened.
The space hamster's hair stood on his shoulders and it was obviously terrified.
When the Sunlight Knight came back, he said, "I'm fine, just a minor injury."
"How did you get hurt?"
The princess came over with an incredible look in her eyes. Even if she was injured, it would be difficult for the Sunlight Knight to be injured. After all, this guy had a contract with a space-type pet beast and mastered the ability of "virtualization".
It allows you and your pet to enter space gaps, turn into phantoms, and avoid enemy attacks.
Unless it was an attack that was powerful enough to distort space, or a space-related method, there was no way that sunlight could be hurt.
Although the necromancy system is weird, it is not outrageous enough to hurt the space system.
The rest of the people looked at the Daylight Knight in confusion, he left with full confidence but when he came back, something seemed wrong.
"It was grass. I was hurt by a strange grass." The Sunlight Knight gritted his teeth, "My body was completely weakened at the time, but that grass was still able to hurt me."
"I don't know if it's because of the grass, or if it contains a special conception that caused it to hurt me, but it is indeed an attack that can affect space to a certain extent."
"Fortunately, the impact is not serious. My leg is only slightly injured. Moonlight, please treat me later."
"Uh uh." Moonlight Knight was stunned and said, "Fuck???"
"Didn't you go to the territory of the Dead Spirit Cult? How did you get hurt by the grass?"
"I don't know either." The Sunlight Knight was about to cry, "It might be a shaping + releasing skill of a grass-type pet."
"Anyway, it's incredibly strong. I feel that even if it's not as strong as the attack of the BOSS we challenged in the Legendary Secret Realm, it's not much different."
Everyone was silent, especially the Glory Knights and Moonlight Knights led by the Princess of Light, whose expressions changed slightly.
"Tell me in detail everything that happened after you entered Ming'an City." said the Knight of Glory.
The Daylight Knight nodded, and then began to tell everyone what he had seen: "Two necromancers grilling souls and laughing strangely", which made everyone change color.
Afterwards, he recounted the incident exactly as it happened: "He was scared away by a piece of grass before he even saw the hostile pet."
Once again, let everyone ponder.
At this time, the Daylight Knight no longer cared about his own face. In order to complete the mission, no information could be concealed.
"There's something wrong with this mission. There are experts in the enemy camp. It's not as easy as we imagined." The Sunlight Knight said sadly.
"It's so strange, why are there powerful grass-type creatures in the Necromancer's base?" The Beast Doctor asked puzzled.
"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that the two people you met are also trial-takers like us?" asked the black girl.
"Impossible. I remember all the four generations of powerful beastmasters on Blue Star. None of them is proficient in grass-type." The Sunlight Knight said, "Besides, even if a beastmaster from the outside world chooses the Undead camp, who the hell will immediately get into the role and roast their souls."
“Yes, the necromancers on the other side are not so exaggerated. They eat the victims alive immediately after killing them. As expected, the ultimate evil can only be found in the birthplace of necromancy.” The Southeast Asian youth said in fear.
Compared to their Ka Yao Zi, which killed people and devoured their souls, this one was even more terrifying, extracting the soul and then roasting it! If the soul had consciousness, how painful it would be.
"It should be 'balance'." The Glory Knight pondered, "Obviously, we trialists have all chosen the Empire camp, so the Undead camp must be at a great disadvantage."
"In order to balance the difficulty, it is normal for an expert NPC to appear on the opposite side. It is also possible that a grass-type pet will appear. After all, not all the pets of the dead spirit cult are dead spirits. There are still normal pets inside."
"But anyway, this is even more troublesome."
A master who can scare away the Sunlight Knight with a single blow appears in the enemy camp, and with the addition of missionaries, it becomes even more difficult to capture Ming'an City.
Everyone's expression looked unhappy. They didn't expect that breaking through the secret realm would be so difficult.
"As expected, we should find a way to get the support of the Imperial Army and attack together." The Princess of Light said, "First, observe their subsequent reaction after you 'broke into the enemy camp' this time."
The Sunlight Knight said with a wilful tone: "The evil necromancer..."
…………
The other side.
Missionary Gao Li is personally teaching necromancy to the new beastmasters who have joined the Cult of the God of Death.
Although he could ask his subordinates to do this kind of thing, he still chose to do it himself.
The missionary's task is to develop members. If a member has good talents and potential, he will be taken back to the headquarters for training. If his talents are average, he will stay and become his subordinate.
The advantage of doing it personally is that no matter whether these members are eventually taken away or stayed, he can establish an excellent impression in their minds.
Like Lu Ran, after Gao Li judged that he was not suitable to teach him the basic necromancy, he immediately used training notes and soul-calming stones to improve his favorability. In this way, when Lu Ran became successful at the headquarters in the future, he could also ascend with him.
As for the necromancers who stayed behind, his prestige as a leader in their eyes was even more important.
"Resurrection! My pet!" At this moment, a young man shouted, and a spirit of a dead pet beside him immediately separated from its body and began to take shape.
Seeing that his dead pet was actually resurrected as a dead spirit under the effect of necromancy, the young man's heart was in turmoil.
Just when he was about to thank missionary Gao Li, suddenly, Hei Yu's figure appeared, walked quickly to Gao Li's ear, and whispered some information.
Gao Li was shocked when he heard Hei Yu's report and asked, "What did you say?"
He immediately looked at the many new members and said, "That's all for today. You guys can move around on your own."
"I'm going to take care of some things."
Having said that, he left with Hei Yu.
"Someone sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion and wanted to assassinate you?"
"To be precise, someone sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion. King Sudden Death sensed the other party's hostility and ordered his pet to attack, scaring the other party away. However, the other party's pet was a space-type, very strange, and we were unable to stop it."
"King of Death guessed that the other party was the Imperial Army, but I can be sure that the other party was the Imperial Army, because the other party was wearing the badge of the Imperial Army!" Hei Yu recalled. She didn't pay attention at first, but after careful recollection, she was sure.
Obviously, in order to provoke the conflict between the Undead camp and the Imperial camp, the Daylight Knights came "well prepared".
"Space system..." Gao Li's expression changed. With such a rare ability as the Space system, one can easily gain wealth and glory no matter which department of the empire he joins. How could it appear in the small city of Ming'an?
Imperial Army... Impossible!
The Imperial Army would never let space talents do the dirty work of eliminating the "Undead Cult".
What virtue and power do these evil necromancers have?
Could it be that he was a talented beastmaster from the folks who was unhappy with the Death Cult? That should be the case. The Death Cult had a very bad reputation under the propaganda of the empire. Many second-generation beastmasters took the initiative to participate in the activities to eliminate the Death Cult under the slogan of "punishing evil and promoting good".
If it was this remnant of the empire that was lucky enough to get help from a genius among the people, then everything would make sense. Although the empire is in turmoil now, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and many civilian forces are still on the side of the empire.
However, what Gao Li found unbelievable was that Lu Ran could actually detect the opponent's infiltration and easily repel the opponent.
That's the space system.
Even he would find it difficult to face a space opponent.
"Where is the King of Sudden Death? Take me to see him." Gao Li said.
"good."
Soon, Missionary Gaoli met Lu Ran again. When he saw Lu Ran, who looked fine, and Mr. Ha, who was holding a sword grass in his mouth and looked cool, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Brother Wang, how did you find the space enemy? I heard Hei Yu say that she even heard the opponent's screams. You can actually hurt him..."
"I originally thought that you just had high spiritual talents, but now I realize that I was wrong. Your current strength is ridiculously strong."
“It’s okay, it’s just that the opponent is too weak. My strength does not affect my yearning for the Death Cult…” Lu Ran said devoutly: “Brother Gao Li, don’t worry, if the imperial army really attacks, I will fight with you.”
Gao Li, Kuroba: ???
Gao Li came here with the intention of comforting Lu Ran, telling him not to be afraid of the Imperial Army, "don't run away", and "if you want to run, run together, don't give up on joining the Divine Religion."
As a result, Gao Li was shocked by Lu Ran's high level of ideological awareness. This level of awareness was not even possessed by the new members who had just been recruited for one day, or even by his old subordinates who had followed him for a long time. "Missionary Gao Li, you are not planning to escape, are you?" Lu Ran asked back, worried that Gao Li would want to escape after discovering that the imperial military actually had a space system.
If this is the case, then he can only be "forced to ascend the throne" and take up the banner of resistance against the empire.
“I…” If the opponent is too strong, Gao Li will of course choose to escape with his subordinates.
However, the Space Department had just been defeated by Lu Ran, and Gao Li was unable to judge the opponent's strength for a moment.
"If I can stay, I naturally don't want to leave." Gao Li looked at Lu Ran and said, "To be honest, in addition to coming to Ming'an City to promote the Death God Cult, I have other tasks to accomplish."
"Other tasks?" Lu Ran was stunned, then relieved. Sure enough, the Undead camp would not abandon the city easily.
"Yes, the mission. It's okay for you to tell Brother Sudden Death King. It's not a secret anyway."
"In the past two years, the Divine Cult has been conducting a study." Gao Li said: "A major advantage of the necromancer pet is that it can possess the beastmaster, which is equivalent to having a fusion skill, so that the necromancer and the necromancer pet can fight together."
Lu Ran nodded.
"Possession is a major characteristic of the undead nature."
"And the possession of undead pets is not limited to beastmasters."
"As long as the undead develop their talent for possession well, they can even attach themselves to other objects and complete their evolution."
"For example, among the higher-ups of the Divine Religion, there are elders and divine messengers who have successfully researched and allowed the undead to possess dragon bones and animal bones, and complete their evolution, turning them into undead bone beasts."
"In this way, we can retain the powerful means of soul attack, and the soul will once again have a strong body."
"Its strength is no less than those undead pets that have retained their bodies and can develop soul attributes."
"And now, within the Divine Religion, it is no longer limited to letting the undead possess corpses. Some senior leaders have begun to study letting the undead possess weapons and armor, turning them into weapon spirits."
"Of course, it is undoubtedly more difficult to do this."
"Therefore, there is a forging master in the cult who came up with a solution. Instead of allowing the undead to forcibly possess weapons and evolve, they placed special weapons in the land of death to allow the weapons to naturally give birth to souls."
"At this moment, I am carrying a special weapon forged within the Divine Religion. I have buried it in the area of Ming'an City where the aura of death is the strongest."
"So the mission that God taught us is actually to occupy a dead city and cultivate weapon spirits. If we abandon the city easily, it will be too difficult to find another suitable training location, and my path to promotion will be hopeless."
"Weapon spirit???" After hearing this, Lu Ran was stunned. Are the forgers of the Death Cult so creative that they have even started to study weapons with souls! Thinking about it carefully, it is true... In many myths and legends that Lu Ran knows, some powerful artifacts all have weapon spirits. Soul + weapon, this forging model may really work! "Don't worry, Brother Gaoli." Lu Ran said, "You treat me well. Even if I risk my life, I will help you repel the enemy."
"Oh, this." Gao Li was shocked. Sure enough, sincerity in exchange for sincerity, his idea of developing followers was right! "Brother Gao Li, do you have any extra soul ores? In fact, in addition to being a chef, I am also a forger. Spirit weapons sound interesting. I also want to study them. I want to contribute to the development of the cult."
