The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 497 Intersection

Kahn Stark, one of the top cadres of the former Rapid Knife Warrior Tu, nicknamed the White Eagle Knight.

Unlike other grassroots mercenaries who don't even have a surname, Stark was once a prestigious regional nobleman, but in his grandfather's generation, he was already dealing with Kahn, and even Kahn's own money to study martial arts was borrowed from distant relatives.

The flying White Eagle emblem is a noble emblem that has lost its meaning. It is also a great irony for the uncharted descendants of the meritorious nobility.

Kahn grew up listening to his ancestors' hero stories, waiting for him, but he was a reality on all sides of the family. He had almost nothing but his ancestral martial arts and armor.

So that the knight in the family path became a mercenary, it was too ordinary, and ninety-nine percent died casually in that little mustache, but unlike Kahn, who had been smart since childhood and had set up ambitions, when other mercenaries were drunk and dreaming of dying this morning and drunk this morning, he tried to revive his family.

After a battlefield without dying, he led the battle twice, becoming a legendary knight from an ordinary mercenary under the age of forty.

He was proud of his resoluteness, his enthusiasm for helping others, his high reputation in the regiment, his senior cadre in charge of diplomatic affairs, and even his participation in this civil war with the Deed of Treason Marquis, is said to be the next head of the inner mission, it can be said that he is at the peak of his life, the template of human turning over, there is nothing deficient at all.

But the old captain, who has always treated Kahn as his own son, did not know that it was perceived by himself as a mercenary regiment of the family, which, in Stark's eyes, was a springboard for the return of his family to the aristocratic circle, even if it damaged the prestige of his ancestors.

Then……

In fact, none of those intermediate processes matter at all. Anyway, it is a series of betrayals and conspiracies. Since there are motives and the ability to plan a rebellion, for successful conspirators and ambitious people, just look at the results and you will know what he has almost done.

The Rapid Knives, who stood on the rebel side of the army, were nearly destroyed by the whole army, and he himself became a knight lord on the side of the kingdom, completing the transition from rebellion to an orthodox nobility, instantly realizing his life goals and reusing the White Eagle family emblem and the battle flag that his family passed down from generation to generation.

But Stark, who seemed to be at the peak of his life, is now filled with worry. It is not just the warning of an attack on a small village in the territory. There are too many such things. The villagers in a remote area were poor people who could not pay taxes. Even if they fed the beast, they would not lose much. What bothered him was His Highness, the second son of Grand Duke Sasha, the envoy in front of him.

The brother of the little prince is at war with the Marquis Stanley, and the little prince, who was said to have studied abroad in the land of the Master, although he has just reached the age of 20, has a great reputation in the academic and magical world of the capital, and he came suddenly as a special envoy, accompanied by the most elite giant rock-heavy infantry regiment in the kingdom, to take his own territorial map and recent intelligence, and to assemble all his own warriors, obviously something important.

On the one hand, a noble member of the royal family, with the most elite regiment in the country, and on the other, a small knighthood lord, a militia that can add up to no more than a hundred, Your Highness does not have to give Kahn. Stark made any explanation, Link said, and Kahn could only do it.

“Is it because of that treasure map... ”

Stark is drumming at the bottom of his heart, and the reason for choosing this edge is actually an ancient treasure map left by his family, where the treasure land is in the nearby mountains, and the only mountain road to access the mountains is in this territory.

Why not just pick up the treasure? It was said that there were strong guards in the ruins, which could not have been resolved overnight, and that Stark had intended to develop the territory, form his own private forces and then consider taking the treasure.

“Impossible, impossible, that picture I've been hiding very well. ”

That treasure map, which he never laid close to, after all involved his “endless wealth” and “powerful power in sleep”, was his greatest source of resuscitation for the family.

Stark had been comforting himself, but when he stepped into His Highness's temporary command, he could barely hide his panic, sticking it on the wall, an enlarged version of the map of his ancestors, and the familiar relic sign, in the most memorable part of his memory.

“Their destination is our grandfather's legacy? How is that possible? Who leaked my family's secrets? ”

“… at the time I saw Kahn always drumming something in his tent. The boss was afraid that something would go wrong and let me touch his bottom, but I found this treasure map. ”

“Treasure map? No, this is a general topographic map of the base, and the markings and text on it only describe the purpose of this base plant. ‘Endless wealth’, 'Sleeping power’? The words of the wise civilization can only be interpreted by those who are truly university students and can be seen in vague descriptions, knowing that they are predictions made by prophetic spells. That is the research base of a wise man's civilization, the mystery of knowledge and technology is inherently endless wealth and power, and language spells come up with such an answer that makes perfect sense. ”

The parchment paper obtained from Sink is already dilapidated, but the fine lines drawn from the carbon graphite are still very clear. This is a manually reproduced map, and Sink's statement can still be trusted, considering that many Rangers are also experts in reconnaissance mapping.

“… how many people know about this map? Will all the deaths be maps from you? ”

It has been established that there will indeed be business dealings with the bandits in front of them, so that they will be able to find relics, and perhaps information obtained from him, so that his intelligence will be of even greater value.

Though Sink survived the Gate of the Underworld, he was still weak, and in my eyes his fragile soul fire was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished directly at any moment.

Such a sink could not have stopped me from exploring, a little simple hint spell, he knew everything, but looking at the paralyzed only the exasperated Ranger, worried that he suddenly hung up, I passed a little holy light to him, his face was a little better, but the fire of the soul could still be extinguished at any moment.

After all, Holy Light cannot heal the soul, but strengthens his strength, at least letting him give information.

“After being betrayed by that bastard, I sold this map directly to a dozen chambers of commerce and mercenaries! I want everyone to know Kahn. Stark's password allows his treasure to be robbed and lets him know what it feels like to have something he loves taken away! ”

Even in a controlled state, the osteoclastic hatred in the tone was so obvious that when it came to Kahn's name, the atheistic pupil suddenly regained vitality, and if I hadn't increased my control in time, I'm afraid he would have broken free.

“Ten times a pass. Isn't that a well-known secret in the country? ”

Rumor has it, I was dumb and laughed, and then I got a little pissed off, standing on Sink's point of view, which is really the best way to get revenge, and the wealth on the bright side will attract bad guys, as long as the intelligence leaks, Kahn. Stark's chances of acquiring treasure are naturally infinite.

But from my perspective, it's just an adventure team seeking treasure. It's fair to say that 90% of a treasure site without a legend as a background is busy for nothing. Senior adventurers won't even consider it, but the intelligence spread will inevitably encounter the know-how, and the relics of sage civilization will attract the attention of major forces, so it will be fun.

“Civil war is this year's event, with no more than six months of spills, and foreign forces are not here yet, but the nights are long and dreamy, and they need to be accelerated. ”

I was curious that this guy could survive in my underworld gate.

It is no coincidence that this guy is able to survive the imminent death of the gates of the Underworld from known intelligence, including that the effects of death in the class are confronted with the resistance of the target. Negative energy-constituted death spells are a double attack on the body and soul, but mainly injure the flesh.

The Gate of the Underworld naturally possesses compulsory dominance over the soul. Such compulsory dominance is not defensible by ordinary flesh, so only the strength of the soul, that is, the attributes that are systematically summarized as willpower, can be countered.

[Strength 14, Agility 22, Physique 14, Intelligence 12, Willpower 14 (Pledge of Revenge +4 of 18), Charm 12, is a good material.

Hate is the catalyst of the will, and the man who vows revenge torments himself with his misery, and the grinding pain seems to strengthen his soul as well.

The determination to desire revenge and the indestructible soul made him live in the capture of the soul of the gates of the Underworld, but the soul that was already burning in the wind proved that he had not lived long.

“… this is nothing, for us life itself is meaningless and the soul is fundamental. ”

Yes, for a sorcerer of the dead, a powerful soul full of hatred is irresistible temptation. Confusion, coupled with a matching flesh, is a great combination.

I spread my arms open, representing the black mist of death that vaporized into a blooming black rose, but the breath of death made Sink tremble and wake up.

“If I leave you alone, you will die soon, and perhaps the bodies will break the resentment of the villagers you attacked, but I have a covenant here that, if you promise, not only will you survive… in another way, but I will also give you the ability to avenge. The ability to avenge that bastard who betrayed you. ”

How did he choose? Well, it wasn't a choice, and with the hatred that kept him alive at the gates of the Underworld, his decision had been made from the beginning.

“I promise! I'd do anything to get revenge! ”

On the other side, watching the busy rescue of the villagers, I reckon.

“… was originally a pleasant journey to come, but now it seems that not only are there other competitors, but the defense system of the relic itself is expected to be dangerous, and perhaps I need a little extra force. ”
