Infrastructure starts from the game

Saying "visit" is not quite accurate.

The owner of the Great Cemetery didn't appear in the magic gear alchemy workshop like it appeared in the palace. He didn't even send a puppet messenger. Instead, he only made a phone call.

And it's also the phone number of the staff dormitory.

Telephones in this era are still dial-up telephones, and the telecommunication network is not fully developed, so it is not popular in the remote eastern region. There are barely lines in Academy City and Magic City, and there are many employees of Magic Gear. It was specially installed for the graduates of the city (also for the convenience of recruiting next time).

Fortunately, after the magic power (electricity) base station was rolled out, many businessmen from Xie Sisi were ready to move. It would be a matter of time before the popularization of telephones in the Eastern Territory. Of course, this is a digression.

As for the owner of the large cemetery choosing this method, he was probably worried that Angel would trouble him again!

It's a pity that the other party doesn't know that the power of this phone is provided by the magic power base station. Even if you use the phone, Angel can still grab it instantly, which is even more convenient.

But if you didn't pinch the opponent's phylactery, it would be useless if you grabbed it, otherwise Angel would have done it in the capital without waiting for now.

Since the other party feels that using the phone is more at ease, then the phone is fine.

Angel grabbed the bulky receiver and thought.

The voice on the other end of the receiver was as respectful as a primary school student reading a short composition to welcome the leader's inspection: "Hello, respected Lord Cecilia, I have offended you a lot before, and I swear in the name of the large cemetery that similar things will not happen in the future. If it happens again, we will not accept any tasks related to you..."

"That's not necessary, at least the assassination of Academy City can continue, which is good." Angel said.

"..."

It's obviously stuck there.

The Lich looked at the microphone, not sure if "Master Cecilia" was speaking ironically.

Angel didn't mean to explain, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy who was only going to be a dog for a while, and asked straightforwardly: "Great cemetery... No, what is your purpose?"

"Are you talking about the previous assassinations?" The Great Cemetery resolutely shirked responsibility, "It was all ordered by the emperor."

"Including the murder of Prince Hyde?"

"that is……"

The Lich subconsciously continued pushing the pot, but he stopped.

Other things are fine, except that the "murder of Prince Hyde" is an order issued by the Lich alone.

When he issued this order, he was also prepared to let the Royal Mage Tower take the blame if it was exposed, but it turned out that it was not exposed, and he was almost taken to his lair.

Given the example of the Second Era, the Lich didn't think cheating Cecilia was a good option.

After hesitating for a few seconds, the owner of the cemetery still said: "No, that's my decision... When I subdued one of my subordinates, I promised him that I would cut off the bloodline of the royal family."

Subdue the subordinates...

"The Queen Mother?" Angel remembered the story of robbery and robbery that he had heard not long ago.

He didn't wait for the other party to admit or deny, and asked: "But is it because of the hope of your subordinates that you cut off the blood of the royal family, or because you wanted to cut off the blood, and you subdued that subordinate?"

Angel would not easily trust a lich, just like he would not easily trust a black robe.

People's fear of black magicians and necromancers is not prejudice.

These two are things with the lowest moral bottom line.

Taking a step back, given the rotten state of the capital, nobles marrying girls by force can happen at any time. Why did the lich save the one who was persecuted by the previous king?And make her queen.

Angel did not believe that the Great Cemetery had no intention of interfering with imperial power.

"Nothing can be hidden from you," the Lich admitted with a wry smile, "both."

It explained in detail: "The reason why I saved that woman is because she used to be a paladin of light. Using her as a medium, I can collect some souls with light attributes that are hard to get now. In exchange, I will realize it for her." desire;"

"On the other hand, I really want to get the soul of the royal family, but it's not for the imperial power, but for the 'gods'. The royal family of this empire is made king by the gods. I hope to find that god in their souls of the engraving."

No wonder Prince Hyde killed him as soon as he killed him, and even took his soul back.

At that time, Angel felt that this lich was not such a "kind" guy.

"Did you find it?" Angel asked interestedly.

"Unfortunately, none," the Lich said frustratedly, "I thought the current king was very likely, but seeing how stupid he is to become the puppet of the royal mage and still unconscious, considering the gap in IQ and luck , it is more likely that the Duke of Dongjing will inherit the gods."

"So you killed Prince Hyde and started a war?" Angel asked sarcastically.

The lich acquiesced.

It has been inhumane for tens of thousands of years, and it still controls the largest assassin organization, so naturally it doesn't take human life seriously.

But the Lich knew that Cecilia cared.

No matter which time Cecilia is for the purpose of quelling the war, for Cecilia, consuming life and soul for self-interest is the most unforgivable thing.

So the Lich would never take the initiative to approach Cecilia.

This time there is no way, I didn't pay attention all of a sudden, I was involved in the dispute between the royal family and Cecilia, and was ordered to kill by the stupid emperor in his own name, and he was lucky to die. Much like the real thing.

Of course, it will not wait to die willingly.

The Lich immediately vindicated himself and the Great Cemetery: "I can't help it! I'm for the future of this world!"

"Wow, did you assassinate Prince Hyde, or to save the world?" Angel sighed.

The Lich said: "Perhaps you have also noticed that since the fall of the gods, the rules of this world have been broken."

"Huh?" No, I don't know.

Angel rolled up the phone line with his fingers, but didn't speak.

He knew it would be explained over there.

Lich also quickly added: "In the first era, all operations in this world belonged to the gods. The god of light was responsible for light and justice, the god of commerce was in charge of transactions and money, and death was the domain of the god of death. At that time After death, people will be led to the underworld by the God of Death, where the corrupted part of their souls will be washed away, and the clean souls will ascend to the heavens, where they will be reincarnated as human beings by angels."

"But after the death of the gods, no one is responsible for this part of the priesthood! No one is responsible for washing the corrupted soul, and the clean part is polluted, so the whole soul degenerates into a demon, which is why there are more and more demons. .”

"But the worst thing is that because of the absence of the god of death, the dead souls can only wander in the world. Among them, the lucky ones are reincarnated, but the unlucky ones can't find a home until the soul dissipates. Some! The population will only decrease, not increase at all!"

"And this situation affects not only humans, but also other creatures. If this continues, the world will be destroyed!" Lich said at the end, his tone became impassioned.

Angel listened with indifference, as if he had listened to the theory of entropy increase in his previous life.

Well, no matter which world will be destroyed in the end!

However, it has been destroyed for 1 years, and it is probably a long time before the real destruction, right?

"Besides, your actions are just the opposite," Angel said. "Let's not talk about causing war, the Great Cemetery is an assassin organization, right? According to what you said, the dead cannot be reincarnated, and they can be demonized. So what are you doing?" Isn't it an increase in consumption?"

"This is about the issue of God's Domain," Lich said confidently, it was obviously waiting for Angel to ask this question, "Maybe you don't know, I was lucky enough to inherit Death's God's Domain."

I heard you say it once.

Angel thought, and he conveniently tied a bow on the phone line.

The Lich over there continued to whitewash himself: "As I said just now, the god of death has fallen for 1 years. Why didn't everyone find such a serious problem? That's because this God's Domain operates by itself, even if there is no God, still doing his duty;"

"So as long as you bury some objects on the body of the deceased or in the coffin according to the past customs, the soul of the dead can enter the God of Death's domain under the influence of gold coins, cleanse the soul, and reincarnate;"

"And the assassinated dead are even more trouble-free. Someone paid for their lives from the beginning, so they don't have to worry about dying and have nowhere to go, which is a good thing."

"Those who were assassinated didn't think so." Angel twitched the corner of his mouth.

The Lich also knew that the power of persuasion was too weak, he said aggrievedly: "Besides, I also need money! You don't know, the operation of God's Domain is not free, there is a waterwheel on the river Styx that cleanses the soul, and enough gold coins must be invested It can only be used. That thing can burn money! I have been running a large cemetery for so many years, and I can’t build a more luxurious tomb for myself, and even the skeleton soldiers under me don’t have coffins to sleep in!”

"..." Why did the lich's painting style suddenly look like Xiaoxue's?

Angor was silent.

Fortunately, the Lich quickly recovered his B status, and he immediately laughed a few times: "Of course, there are ways to not be so troublesome. If a large number of deaths occur in a short period of time, the waterwheel will automatically absorb the souls of the dead. Instead of using money, war is a kind of nourishment for Death's God's Domain;"

"Besides, I feel that there is almost a war in the outside world;"

"The east region you are in is alright, but in the royal capital, Xieser and the emerging Sensenata area, more and more dead souls are dying every day, and most of these dead souls are accompanied by serious corruption. The 'doctor' I sent 'It can't be recovered at all, but most of these dead souls don't even have a decent funeral, let alone the money to be buried with them. Without the baptism of war, they will probably never be able to enter the Netherland, and they can only decay into monsters. "

"They will fight for their fate." Angel whispered.

"Using the method of becoming a monster?" The Lich said so enthusiastically that he forgot who he was talking to. "Ordinary people's souls are very fragile, and they can't wait for the moment when they burst out of anger."

"That's not bad." Angel sighed.

He was silent for half a second, and asked abruptly: "So your purpose is to obtain the Godhead of Death?"

"I'm the god of death now hahahahaha...haha...ha..."

The Lich laughed smugly, and at the end of the laugh, it seemed that he suddenly remembered who was on the other side, and his voice trailed off.

The Lich added nervously, "I'm just joking."

Angel did not deny the Lich's words.

How to say that the other party has guarded the cemetery for so many years, and he can indeed call himself the god of death.

He said: "Okay, Lord Death, I will make a deal with you."

"No, how can I be worthy of making a deal with you?" Lich said tremblingly.

He remembers the crowdfunding of the Heavenly Kingdom by the guys who "traded" with Angel in the Second Era, but his family's big cemetery is really poor!Even crowdfunding can't produce anything, so you can't give away your phylactery!

"I remember you can resurrect humans, right?" Angel said.

"It's not resurrection," Lich explained. "Resurrection must have a complete body and a complete soul. Most of the dead have incomplete bodies. I can't resurrect them at all."

"Then the Queen Mother..."

"She is a paladin of light, and she has been favored by the god of light. After people like them die, the injuries on their bodies are not very serious, and they will still heal automatically, leaving a complete body. I just need to guide the soul back That's fine." The Lich said, "Also, the same is true for the one you took away."

Head of Hyde's bodyguard?By the way, he is also a knight of light.

Wouldn't this lich tell all the light knights to become his own dark knights?

Angel thought suspiciously.

The Lich was worried that he would evade too much, and added: "My resurrection... is to use my power to make a protective cover for them, so as to ensure that the soul will not drift away and retain the memory, so that the original body can be repaired. It's resurrection, if you don't have the original body, consider making a body..."

"Well, it's just to give them a mobile hard drive, right?" Angel said.

"Mobile win?" Lich asked puzzled.

It doesn't matter if the Lich doesn't understand, Angel has already understood.

Basically, if you want Angel to make an analogy, the human body and soul are the relationship between hardware and software. After the soul leaves the body and dies, there is no hard disk. There is no way to save most of the memory, and there is no system to start.

But the Lich seems to have put the soul into a temporary hard disk and saved it, and then transferred it to a safe place.

Angel said: "You can do this step, it is enough for me."

"What do you want me to do?" The Lich immediately bowed his head and whispered, "Please just tell me."

"It's not hope, it's a deal." Angor emphasized.

Angel felt that in order to make the hell three-headed dog obedient, he must put on a good chain and give him a good bone, so as to save him from too many brains and thoughts: "I hope you will ensure that the souls of the subjects of the entire capital, As a price, I will give you enough undead, even if there is no war, there are enough undead that can drive the waterwheel."

"...Lord Cecilia, you may not have any idea, but there are many dead spirits of war." The Lich smiled wryly.

He didn't think the other party would kill someone for this deal!

If Cecilia had done this, he wouldn't be Cecilia.

Thinking of this, Lich suddenly couldn't tell if he wanted the other party to do this.

It's a pity that Cecilia is a kind Cecilia after all, but Angel said: "No, it should be enough? Didn't you say that there are enough dead people in the capital area? It is enough to collect those dead souls." Right! And it can avoid the waste of these souls who cannot return to Netherland.”

"This is even more impossible!" Lich said firmly, "This kind of thing, even when the god of death is around, can't do it! After all, picking up the dead is a physical job, and there is not enough manpower to do that."

"That's because you don't give staff at all, right?" Angel said.

"?"

"Just do what I tell you first." Seeing that it didn't make sense, Angel simply forced the order.

"Yes!"

This time, the other side responded very simply and respectfully.

So why do these guys always refuse to listen to good reasons and use tough ones?

Angor was puzzled by this.

That night, Angel did not go back to the capital to oversee the work immediately, but waited until Enlis finished school.

"Have you mastered all the functions of the Demon King's Castle?" Angel asked.

"Understood." Enliss replied.

"All?" Angel was a little surprised.

He originally planned to come by himself, and just wanted to ask Enliss for permission, but he didn't expect Enliss to be so straightforward.

Angel couldn't help but asked with some interest: "Including how to move the Demon King's City into the dreamland and construct the dreamland?"

"Yes." Enliss replied straightening her chest.

She is the least afraid of asking questions about the things she has learned: "However, the Demon King's City can't move. What can move is the dream. The space position of the dream is different from the distance of reality. As long as you get the feelings or emotional fragments of a specific person, give them in reality. If the other party leaves an impression about the Demon King City, they can enter the other party's dream."

"That's a good answer." Angel touched Enlis's head.

Enlis smiled contentedly.

Angel then demanded: "Then try it and enter my dreamland!"

"Huh?" Enlis was stunned.

Then she blushed: "That, isn't that the secret to seeing you... Teacher Jerry said that dreams are the place that can best reflect a person's deep consciousness."

"I have no secret." Angel said confidently.

The black cat rolled his eyes beside him.

Enliss immediately realized that there was really nothing to see.

Angel's dream was pitch-black, and there was nothing but darkness.

"How can a person like him open up his dreams to others!" Polly, no, the demon god Jerry said gloomily, "A guy like this who looks dark on the outside definitely wants to impose ten times on himself. Occlumency."

"Shut up, you!" Mithril slapped the translucent monster upon hearing this.

The black cat then comforted Enliss and said, "It's a good thing not to show that guy. The real dream of that guy must be a mental pollution! It's absolutely fine to watch."

"Then what are you doing here?" Jerry asked, "The black robe didn't call you, did you? Didn't you follow because you wanted to see?"

Mithril stretched out its sharp claws without hesitation, and tore up the "plastic bag".

While the cats were "playing", Angel walked into the Demon King's castle from the darkness outside.

Because this is Angel's dream, so here he is not himself, but a phantom in the dream.

This kind of phantom has more or less "one's own impression of oneself".

But Angel was no different from usual!

What other people think of Angel is what Angel looks like now.

"You are really boring!" the black cat said in surprise.

"?" Angel looked at the other party in confusion.

However, Angel did not delve into the meaning of Mithril's words, and only said to Enliss: "Next, we want to erode the surrounding dreams and connect these dreams, can it be done?"

"Okay." Enliss nodded.

For Enlis, Angel's request was naturally correct.

Instead, the demon god Jerry showed a surprised expression: "You finally revealed your true colors, are you going to conquer the world? It's a good way to control humans from the dream! But you did it so exaggeratedly at the beginning, don't you worry about alarming human mages?" ?”

"They're not free, they're building the 'Kingdom of God'!" Angel said.

"Building the 'Kingdom of God'?" Mithril's ears moved and pricked up, "When did the mages of Cecilia start building the 'Kingdom of God'?"

"It's not Cecilia, it's the capital." Angel said, "Didn't I say that? I was dreaming this dream with the body of the royal magic advisor, so this dream is in the capital."

"The capital of the kingdom..." Mithril responded, its expression suddenly changed, and it meowed at Enlis, "Stop it! Don't touch those dreams!"

Saying so, the black cat slapped Angel's calf with its two tails: "Don't you know what kind of things are the nobles and mages over there? How can you let the little girl see the dream of such things? "

"Ah!" Angel finally came to his senses.

He only thought that Enlis was very useful, and didn't think too much about it all at once.

Thinking about the mages who built the Flesh Temple, Angel was really worried that Enlis would have nightmares at night after watching it.

But it was too late, Enlis had been eroding those dreams since Angel ordered, so she could not avoid seeing the contents of the dreams in the capital.

Enlis's tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Look, did you see something scary?" Angel asked guiltily, he was in a hurry to wipe the little girl's tears, but he didn't know how to do it.

"No, it's not that scary." Enlis wiped the corners of her eyes and forced a smile, "I just, just saw the various futures that I would have encountered without Mr. Angel."

The others (cats? demon gods?) listened for a while, and subconsciously glanced at the most recent dream.

In the dream, a girl of similar age to Enlis was crying and standing by her sick father's bed. The door of her house was knocked loudly, and a group of monsters were shouting "pay the debt" and "sell" and so on. discourse.

This is without a doubt a girl's nightmare.

Mithril breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, I really have to thank Master Angel for this! Next, let me do it!"

"No, please let me continue!" Enlis wiped away her tears, and she continued to erode the dream.

In fact, what Enlis saw was not only the nightmare of the girl, but also the dream of the beggar curled up in the street, the dream of a woman who had five children but lost her husband, the dream of a child who was sold by her parents for bread, The dreams of the old man who died of illness but no one cares about... all kinds of dreams.

That is not her future without Angel, but the future that Cecilia might have without Angel.

Enlis felt that an eggshell that had been protecting her tenderly had been broken.

No, that thing is already broken.

It's just that because of the arrival of Mr. Angel, I deceived myself and hid in the eggshell.

But she can't hide forever.

At least, at least she can do something for these people... no, for herself who was almost reduced to this situation.

Enlis unleashed her powers.

Angel nodded upon seeing this: "Very good, Enlis, weave these dreams together, just like I asked the rune masters to do the tenth project 'Treasure X Dream', give them a sweet dream— —”
