Chapter 241: The Creation of the Legendary Undead
Many people think that legends are things that are legendary from the hair to the toenails.
Actually, it is not true. Scraping some bone powder from Amberxiu's body cannot cure all diseases, and making bone mud into feeding a dog cannot advance the dog into a high-level undead. At most, it can only poison the dog, and then it will rot very quickly.
This is true for the undead, and it is the same for the undead of other professions.
When he was adventuring in the past, Amber heard a joke from the old predecessors: a legendary warrior got drunk and was cut into kidneys by a drow wanderer and sold to an ogre. The ogre said that no matter how legendary the kidneys were, they were not as chewy as the ordinary kidneys he had eaten.
It is not clear whether it is true or not, but this story is used to warn all adventurers not to think that having a high level is enough, because there are countless ways to die waiting for you in this world.
Back to the topic, a legendary undead body does not need to be paired with a legendary ghost. The real focus lies in the strength of the soul and the "spells" mastered by this soul.
Ambershu's virtual soul can prepare corresponding spells in advance, just like the mercury zombie's transformation spell, which is stuffed into it by Ambershu when weaving the soul, and it becomes the instinct of this creature.
There are many kinds of undead, such as zombies and skeletons. What you need may be combat capabilities. Things like acceleration, fear aura, etc. can all be customized.
The specific needs can only be fine-tuned after seeing the undead body that has been created. What Amberxiu can do now is to make preliminary preparations as soon as possible, such as making some preparations for the soul strength.
The soul of an ordinary human being is about 80 to 130 souls strong. This soul is a unit set by Amber himself. The strength of 100 souls is like having 100 attribute points. It can be used to increase reaction or willpower, or to increase distraction or spellcasting ability. Anyway, there are only so many attributes. If you increase some, the others will only be weakened.
The material cost of an ordinary human's soul is about forty or fifty copper coins, and the undead puppet of the Withered Rose is probably a melee type, so the soul points should also be strengthened in the direction of a warrior.
Of course, he couldn't really use ordinary souls to fool customers. After all, they were used for fighting. If anything went wrong, the Withered Rose would come back to seek revenge on him in a minute.
Therefore, Amberxiu's idea was to create a soul with a strength of about 10,000 souls. Even if it was to create a bone dragon, the strength of this soul would be enough to control the body.
This kind of high-strength soul is not as simple as multiplying the direct material cost by a hundred times. The manufacturing cost is exponentially increased. Amber Xiu offered a price of 10 million gold coins, of which 1 million gold coins were material costs and the remaining 9 million were labor costs.
Now that the labor cost has become 19 million, Amberxiu must provide better products.
Amber took out a large pile of materials from his private space and sorted them out. There were magical plants, metal ores, and many gems of different sizes.
These things had nothing to do with the soul, but when Amber picked up a ruby, the hard gem turned into rainbow-like fragments, and was then rubbed by Amber into a thin thread that constantly flashed with light.
Gems, minerals, magical plants, and all kinds of materials were twisted into such rainbow threads by Amberxiu, and then woven together by Amberxiu, slowly forming a jellyfish floating in the air.
Those tiny tentacles are actually silk threads that have not yet been woven, swaying in the air.
The foundation of this virtual soul has been created, but from this moment on, it is a "ghost" and dark magic has begun to condense.
Unlike the Mercury Zombie, the soul of the Mercury Zombie is "alive" and there is no dark magic in its body.
If one wants to create a more powerful "living" soul, then Amber's offer of 10 million would be a loss-making deal.
The remaining threads are used to add some points to this soul, and also to help this soul set a personality. All high-level undead have their own personalities, and the zombies that have no consciousness and can only eat meat can only be the lowest level of the undead.
If you want an undead to be good at fighting, you have to give him a fighting-related personality, rather than simply writing a few lines of commands, which would be very rigid. Only when it gains self-awareness can the soul continue to evolve in the corresponding career direction.
The same goes for the little ones that Amber is raising. Their learning and thinking abilities cannot be restricted, and an independent character is closely related to thinking.
This detail needs to be discussed with the Withered Rose. Amberxiu cannot do things according to his own preferences.
Fortunately, the withered rose didn't make Amber wait long.
Withered Rose had been here once before, and the teleportation array was still inside the castle, so it would only take a few minutes for her to get here this time.
The Undead Queen had not changed much, and was still a beautiful lady with elegant temperament. However, this time, not only the Withered Rose came, but also a dozen drow elves, carrying a mass of disgusting flesh and blood that could not be described in words.
This pile of flesh and blood seemed to be about the same height as Gareth, perhaps four or five meters, but it was not in human form at all. It looked more like a meat egg made up of countless flesh and blood and bones.
The fascia and bones formed the shell of the meat egg, and purple-red blood continued to seep out from the sutured wound. A closer look revealed that there were many blood vessels extending from the meat egg, connecting to those numb-looking drow elves, as if they were constantly absorbing the blood of these drow elves.
The evil aura emanating from the eggs almost contaminated the entire castle.
Amberxiu quickly deployed a barrier to cover the horrific meat eggs, otherwise all other materials in his castle would be contaminated.
This is the inconvenience of the undead, the dark power will constantly corrupt everything around it.
Amberxiu usually has to be careful to control the dark magic from leaking out, otherwise he can't do any experiments.
Amber Xiu was surprised when he looked at the meat egg, but Withered Rose looked at the dangling jellyfish and said with emotion: "Your ability is really amazing."
Transforming lifeless dead objects into souls, even if they are just undead ghosts, sounds like a power that only gods possess.
"Your abilities are nothing compared to Ms. Qiangwei's. They are just a little trick to make a living."
Amber's words were not entirely modest. The legendary boon of the Withered Rose was the Death Gaze, which was useless against the undead, but outrageous for living creatures. No matter what race you were, as long as you were alive, you would be transformed into an undead under her gaze.
Ignoring shields and resistance, this death gaze does not refer to a real gaze, as the undead do not perceive everything with their eyes. So it is actually the perception of the withered rose. As long as a living thing is locked by her perception, it will be continuously transformed into the undead.
Last time, Ryan's Supreme Judgment had to turn himself into gas in order to temporarily avoid the transformation of the Withered Rose. The magic equipment he carried with him had no effect at all.
Amberxiu guessed that as long as the Silver Moon Knight failed to kill the Withered Rose with one sword, he would lose. His old body could not withstand the death stare for a few seconds. Perhaps the Withered Rose could kill the old man first, but the risk was very high.
Legendary favors are not necessarily powerful if you have more of them. Amber has so many legendary favors, but only the Golden Throne can be used in actual combat. The other abilities are more like auxiliary.
Withered Rose smiled at Amber Xiu, and then said: "Let's not be polite with each other. Let me tell you my thoughts first..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The two legendary liches began to discuss the evil undead creation plan in this laboratory.
According to the Withered Rose, the meat egg contained the bodies of three legendary orcs. Amber Xiu did not ask how they got them, but only asked about the characteristics of the three bodies very seriously.
A barbarian, a champion, and a monk.
As expected, orcs all like this kind of tall and tough profession. Needless to say, the Barbarian is the most suitable profession for orcs; the Champion Warrior is an advanced profession of the Warrior, and he is also the kind of pure ruffian who is invincible on the battlefield with a giant sword; the last monk is also a monk of the Sanda School, who emphasizes punching to the flesh.
Amber Xiu is also a person who knows what he is talking about. He said to Withered Rose: "Good stuff. The true essence of these three legendary professions is all on the corpses. If you make it into an abomination, it will be easy to reach the legendary level."
Withered Rose shook her head and said, "No, not hatred. If possible, I hope he will become a death knight."
Amber Xiu couldn't understand this request.
"Ms. Rose, you are also an expert in creating undead. You should know that these two types of undead are completely different, right? Abominations can sew up any corpse at will, but Death Knights evolve from a single corpse. The two are completely different. Even if I help you make a corpse into a human form, it will only be a human-shaped Abomination, not a Death Knight."
The undead army types may seem messy, but they actually all have their own characteristics.
For example, the Abomination, the corpse stitching monster, has the devouring ability of the Abomination when it is created. After being damaged, it can directly paste the flesh and blood of the corpse on itself to repair itself. The Death Knight does not have this ability, but the Death Knight has the ability to summon a mount from another plane, which the Abomination cannot learn.
Abilities have nothing to do with appearance. Even if a Death Knight gets fat and becomes as fat as an Abomination, he still cannot possess the Abomination's abilities. Just like other Undead cannot make a Lifebox, this is a unique method of the Lich, and other legendary Undead cannot learn it.
"I know this is difficult, but you don't need to worry about physical matters. You just need to take care of your soul." Withered Rose said firmly.
Amber thought for a moment and asked, "Ms. Qiangwei, you want to have a powerful subordinate who is highly mobile and can carry out missions alone, right?"
Withered Rose smiled and said, "Yes, you really know me very well. You guessed it right away."
Amber thought to himself, this is not understanding. If there is any absolute advantage that the Death Knight has over the Abomination, it is only mobility.
"Then, are there any requirements in terms of personality?" Amber asked.
"As long as you are loyal, your personality doesn't matter."
"Then I will retain the most basic mental state. As for the personality, Ms. Rose, you can cultivate it yourself. Don't worry, it won't take long. In about three to five days, you will be influenced by the outside world and form your own personality." Amber Xiu said.
"Okay, that's settled."
Withered Rose didn't care about these details. No matter how Amber arranged it, she was just a subordinate used to deal with the enemy, so her personality didn't matter.
