Chapter 57: The Background is a Bit Hard
Everyone understood what he meant by this sentence. The heavy-armored swordsman's posture of not being afraid of death or pain made everyone suspect whether there was a skeleton or zombie under the heavy armor. Now that they looked, it wasn't, because a corpse wouldn't ulcerate, only rot.
"It's the Trace of Corrosion, a large dose of Trace of Corrosion. Are they eating medicine as a meal?" Lisha was shocked.
"They probably don't want to either. Adams Forbidden Ring, these are living dead." Naigelis poked its head over, looking at the silver ring on the corpse's neck and said.
Others hadn't heard this name, only Feilin gasped: "Adams Forbidden Ring? That forbidden technique that can control the mind, Adams Forbidden Ring?"
Naigelis nodded. The Adams Forbidden Ring was invented many years ago by a spirit-type mage named Adams. Through a specially made neck ring, the person's soul is sealed in the body and controlled at will.
In this process, the body is alive, and the soul is also alive, but the soul and body are separated, so it is called a living dead.
This technique is very vicious. As long as the forbidden ring is put on, the person is basically useless. Even if the forbidden ring is removed, the body and soul cannot be fused together again, and they will only become a vegetable, lying on the bed and slowly dying.
This technique didn't cause much of a stir after it was invented, and almost went extinct, because the cost was too high. Just the hardware cost of the forbidden ring itself was expensive, and to successfully put it on a person required a series of treatments, and the success rate wasn't high, making it very impractical.
The value of the forbidden ring itself was enough to buy thousands of slaves, and well-trained slaves were easier to use than living dead controlled by forbidden rings.
Until one day, a major event that shocked the entire main material plane happened. The most beautiful empress in the history of the Seth Empire went missing after being attacked during an outing. Six months later, she appeared naked at the royal banquet of the blood feud Tiwan Empire, with a forbidden ring on her neck, dancing the most lowly dance with a dull expression.
The noble empress respected by all people was treated like this. The monarch and people of the Seth Empire were filled with righteous indignation, launching a war of annihilation that lasted for thirty years regardless of everything. Every victory left no survivors, and every defeat never surrendered, fighting until the Tiwan Empire was destroyed and its species extinguished.
Of the tens of millions of people, less than five hundred thousand survived, and they were basically cowards who fled to other countries. Since then, the Tiwan Empire disappeared in the long river of history.
A technique triggered a war of annihilation with tens of millions of deaths, and because it was too vicious, the powerful people of all countries didn't want such things to happen to themselves, so they reached a consensus to forbid this technique.
Since then, the Adams Ring became the Adams "Forbidden" Ring, gradually disappearing.
Because it had disappeared for too long, many people hadn't even heard of it, let alone recognizing it on the spot. After listening to Naigelis's narration, everyone revealed a look of reverence: "My lord, you know so much. May I ask your name, my lord."
Naigelis accepted this praise without changing its expression: "Small matter, I am the... cough cough cough, just call me Lord Nai Ge."
Just wanting to brag that it was omniscient, it suddenly thought of Ang's tricky questions. It hurriedly changed its words. What if these guys also asked it where the Monarch went like Ang? How would it answer? Run, run, run.
No one could associate the name Lord Nai Ge with its divine name. It was estimated that its divine name was no longer remembered by anyone, otherwise, why hadn't anyone called its name in the days since it broke free from the seal?
"Oh, so it's Lord Naigelis. Lord Naigelis's knowledge is truly profound. May I ask if you know why the Church of Light wants to use forbidden techniques to make these heavy-armored swordsmen?" Feilin asked curiously.
"Living dead are not afraid of death or pain, can be healed when injured, have great strength, high defense, can suppress elements, the holy shroud makes them not afraid of undead magic, and the Adams Forbidden Ring makes them immune to spirit magic. More importantly, they are immune to holy light magic and can restrain Paladins, priests, and sacrificial priests. You said they are called the Judgment Army, then you are right. They are the Judgment Army specifically used to deal with internal traitors."
Everyone subconsciously turned their gaze to Lisha. This former Saintess of Light was the so-called traitor.
Regarding the establishment within the Church of Light, she had the most say. Only seeing her frown and ponder, she said: "Is it the Religious Inquisition you are talking about?" This was the unit she had heard of that was most similar to the Judgment Army.
Naigelis shook its head: "No, no, the Inquisition is for the outside, the Judgment Army is for the inside. It's normal that you don't know. Hehe, because they are in the hands of the Archbishop. This Li'Li Ao Na De has quite a background."
Lisha's eyeballs widened. Only she understood what kind of powerful figure an Archbishop was. If Li'Li Ao Na De's background was the Archbishop, and his actions were allowed by the Archbishop, then they were in big trouble.
Seeing Lisha's appearance, Naigelis smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, it's just an Archbishop. Cross-plane conquest isn't such an easy thing. In the future, you guys do a good job of defense, avoid similar transmission raids. What can the Archbishop do to you? Think back in the day..."
Naigelis had the qualification to despise the Archbishop. Even the Pope was a grade lower than a Knowledge God like it.
"Ao!" Just as Naigelis was preparing to brag about its glory in the past, Ang suddenly roared. Before Naigelis could react, it saw Ang sit on its back and point into the distance.
In that direction, the little zombie was running wildly, using its powerful kinetic energy to make the unicorn stumble.
However, Lightning's stumble seemed more like it was intentional. It stumbled a few times and then took advantage of the momentum to break forward, knocking away the surrounding enemies, and galloping away.
Even if someone raised a spear to intercept, Lightning would nimbly step sideways, either dodging or squeezing, never colliding head-on. It rushed to the fence at the other end, leaped up, as if flying over the fence, and landed after leaping a distance of more than ten meters, running far away with its four hooves flying.
The little zombie was furious, chasing after it while yelling "Ao Ao".
The angel skeleton's body hadn't recovered, but its wings had. It flapped its feathers, dragging its skeleton to chase after it. Because only the skeleton was left, the weight was much lighter, and the speed of flying was actually faster.
Unfortunately, it couldn't release Holy Light Shining like this, otherwise Ang would have let it maintain this state.
Worried that the two guys would have an accident, Ang hurriedly chased after them, but he definitely wasn't as fast as the little zombie running on the ground, so he could only ride a dragon.
"What's the use of you riding me? I can't fly fast. I'm only half a meter long from head to tail. Have a conscience, will you?" Naigelis flew up shakily, complaining while flying forward with all its might.
Its body was too small. Ang riding on it was like riding a donkey, his feet could reach the ground. Being able to fly was already quite good. This was still because Ang only had a skeleton and was light in weight, otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to fly.
Ang thought for a while and cast Pollination Art on Naigelis's flesh wings. Every time Naigelis flapped its feathers, it actually brought up small cyclones, and the speed increased sharply.
"Ka Ba Da, I told you not to ride me, not to accelerate for me..." Naigelis cursed while carrying Ang and flying far away.
Leaving Feilin, Lisha, Lu Se, and others looking at each other, after listening to Naigelis's words, they were a bit relieved, but now they couldn't help but feel worried. Should they believe what a mount said?
In the air, they soon caught up with the two guys running on the ground. Lightning was annoyingly teasing the zombie, hanging not far or near behind the little zombie. When the little zombie caught up, it immediately accelerated and ran away. It wasn't until Ang caught up that it became vigilant.
"Surrender, you can't run away. Considering you are just a horse and didn't hurt our people, surrender. We won't hurt you." Naigelis persuaded from afar.
Hearing this, Lightning immediately exploded: "Who are you calling a horse! You are the horse, your whole family is a horse. Are your eyes blind and you can't see? Unicorn, unicorn Lightning, see that!"
Lightning flipped its hooves and knocked on its own forehead, dong dong dong. It really wasn't a horse. How could a horse flip its hooves to its head?
"Hehe, where is your horn? If you don't have a horn, what kind of unicorn are you?"
Stung in its sore spot, Lightning said angrily: "Bullying me because my horn fell off? If my horn was still there, I'd electrocute you until you were charred. If you have the ability, come down, and see if I don't stomp you to death."
"Still saying others are blind, you are the blind one. See clearly what I am? Huang Tong Giant Dragon! Your lightning can electrocute me?"
"Still Huang Tong 'Giant' Dragon? Where is the giant? Not even as big as a dragon egg. You are premature, right? Hurry up and find a dragon eggshell to gnaw on, maybe you can grow a bit."
The scales on Naigelis's body were all standing up in anger, and it was about to fly down to fight, completely forgetting that it was only half a meter long from head to tail.
However, seeing it pounce down, Lightning immediately turned around and ran, completely inconsistent with the toughness in its mouth.
"Don't run, stand still, I'm down, come and stomp me to death." Naigelis cursed while chasing.
"You have many people, if you have the ability, come over yourself, and see if I don't stomp you to death." Lightning responded without looking back.
"I know why your horn fell off, it must be because your mouth is stinky." Naigelis cursed.
Lightning and Naigelis ran, chased, and cursed at each other, and soon didn't know where they had run to. All around was an endless barren plain.
The sky gradually darkened, and the wind gradually grew stronger.
"Ao!" Ang roared. The little zombie, which had been burying its head in hot pursuit, stopped unwillingly and ran back to Ang's side. The angel skeleton also flew back, and the big guys dug a pit on the ground together.
Seeing that no one was chasing it, Lightning also stopped, turned around, and looked over cautiously, like a silly roe deer: "What are you digging?"
No one paid attention to it, everyone was focused on digging on the ground. Naigelis even used its own short front claws.
Seeing them like this, Lightning suddenly had a bad premonition. Looking around and not seeing any place to hide, it couldn't help but think: Should I also dig a pit? But as soon as it raised its hoof, it dismissed this idea.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, and Lightning shivered. This wind, why was it a bit cold?
