Chapter 246: The Good Nephew Who Rebelled

Chapter 246: The Good Nephew Who Rebelled
"We are gathering our team to assassinate the Immortal King and put an end to this undead king once and for all!"

Selena didn't keep Noah in suspense and told him directly what she was going to do.

"Are those undead performing a blood sacrifice? Is the Immortal King about to awaken?"

After hearing what his adoptive mother was involved in, Noah asked subconsciously, otherwise he really couldn't understand what kind of situation required taking such a risk. It was completely unnecessary.

The Immortal King was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep, but he was not dead. Moreover, the place where he was sleeping was not in some desolate mountains or some corner, but in his cemetery.

As for the nature of the cemetery, Noah had already figured it out. It was a floating city belonging to the undead, or even more exaggerated than a floating city, similar to the Ark of the Savior controlled by his angel wife.

The fragments that fall off from the cemetery and fall into the wilderness can create a city of the undead out of thin air and create an army of the dead.

Such performance is enough to show how special the cemetery is. To a certain extent, this thing is alive and it completely obeys the Immortal King.

Therefore, sneaking into the cemetery and opening the coffin of the Immortal King is no less than entering a floating city and attacking a legendary archmage.

Even if Noah were asked to do such a thing now, he would refuse without hesitation and would not even consider it.

You know, when his angel father-in-law, the Seraph Laodeng, seriously injured the Immortal King, he also deliberately chose a time when the other party was not in the cemetery, instead of ignoring everything.

"That's not the case, but the undead have started to keep mortals captive. The elves believe this is a very dangerous signal, which means that the undead can wake up the Immortal King at any time and turn the tide of the battle."

"What do you think?"

"How do I watch it? I'll watch it while I'm lying down."

Serena snorted.

"Aren't you ready to get involved? Does this count as lying down?"

"Don't look at me. I'm not the main assassin. The elf just invited me. I agreed just to watch the fun. If the situation is not right, I will definitely run away immediately."

Serena told Jinlong without hesitation that she was participating in a big event. She was just watching the show and had no intention of participating in it, let alone trying her best.

That's why the legendary wizard was so annoyed when he heard that Noah's dragon cub was about to arrive.

For her, this is indeed a difficult decision. The child of an angel who inherited the bloodline of Seraphim and an ancestral dragon is such a rare research subject, no, such a rare grandson.

As a grandmother, she should go back immediately to take care of the baby, take care of its poop and urination, and study its scales, hair, and blood to make a more reasonable growth plan tailored for it.

"A team formed by elves? Who are the main players in their team?"

Noah already had a guess in his mind that the elves not only wanted to solve the undead plague once and for all, but this probably also involved an internal power struggle.

"You can guess it, can't you?"

"Parvati?"

"Otherwise, what kind of people do you think can pose a threat to the Immortal King among the elves? Do you count on their queen or their high priest to take action? These old guys haven't left Thainferen for at least hundreds of years."

"Why would she want to?"

Noah couldn't understand that in the elf camp, Parvati, who was blessed by the seven gods, was indeed the one most likely to cause the fall of the Immortal King, as long as the seven gods were willing to descend.

Parvati, who was blessed by the seven gods at birth, is the most perfect vessel for the gods' descent.

But as a vessel, Parvati also has her own will, and her willingness to cooperate is the key to whether the divine descent can be successful.

Noah couldn't figure out Parvati's motive for actively assassinating the Immortal King?
There was no need for that. Not to mention the consequences of failure, even if she succeeded, what would Parvati get? Infinite honors, but also the fact that her position would be sidelined or even revoked?
Without external oppression, internal conflicts are bound to erupt. As an outsider, even if Parvati has many followers in the middle and lower classes, she is probably powerless when facing the upper-class elves who hold more power.

"Who knows? If you're curious, you can go ask her."

Selena didn't care. As a legendary wizard, she treated her great-granddaughter as if she didn't exist.

Although she does have the blood of the Augustus family flowing in her veins, Parvati, who is cared for by seven gods, has almost no need for her family. The family also does not have to count on her unless they can accept the erosion of the gods' faith, which is obviously impossible.

"I'll try."

Noah discovered that he had only been asleep for five years, but the pace of the times was still moving forward steadily. The changes in the situation were somewhat unexpected, and he seemed to be unable to keep up with the times.

It is clear that before he fell asleep, Pavarotti had already taken over the Elf King's court and was about to replace the Elf Queen.

But five years later, she had to serve as a cannon fodder and take on the responsibility of assassinating the Immortal King. What happened during these five years?
How could a natural born demigod fall into such a state? Noah absolutely did not believe that this was Parvati's own choice.

"granduncle!"

When Noah contacted his good great nephew Wayne, he found that after five years, his great nephew's aura became more gloomy, but also more majestic and powerful.

He was wearing a hideous and heavy black armor and sitting on a black crystal skull throne, already possessing some of the majesty of an undead lord.

"Wow, you look quite impressive. It seems like you have been doing quite well in the past few years!"

Seeing the appearance of his great nephew, Noah's eyes lit up.

"This is all because of your support to me, uncle!"

Wayne, who had a gloomy temperament but was elegant and calm, responded with a faint smile.

"I haven't given you any support in the past few years. Everything is the result of your own hard work. Tell me, what have you done in the past few years? Also, do you know what happened to the elves? What happened to your sister?"

"I haven't done anything big in the past few years..."

Wayne began to tell what he had done in the kingdom of the dead over the past few years.

The thing he had done the most and put the most energy into in the past few years was to open up an activity area for the living in the kingdom of the dead.

The Undead Scourge no longer devours everything indiscriminately, but instead transforms corpses with reservations. Any living person willing to cooperate with the Undead Legion, or even just choose not to confront it, can receive preferential treatment from the Undead Legion, which can cause the Undead Legion to take a detour and no longer invade.

Of course, as a price, the surviving people also need to pledge allegiance to the Kingdom of the Dead and become its vassals. At the same time, they must also sign a contract, promising that their bodies and souls after death will all belong to the Kingdom of the Dead. When this policy came out, the resistance strength faced by the Undead Army began to decline like an avalanche, especially in front of the Undead Army commanded by the vampires. Some nobles were almost eager to offer their own territories and cities, just to obtain the First Embrace and transform into vampires.

Immortality is the eternal pursuit of the short-lived powerful. They find it difficult to give up their rights and are unwilling to give up their status. In order to still be able to vent their desire for power in this prosperous material world, they will do anything, even if it means turning into skeletons.

Of course, it would be great to be a vampire with flesh and blood, and even a heart that can continue to beat. Even if from then on, there would be many weaknesses such as fear of silver and light, but compared with the extended life, this is acceptable.

"Oh it's you."

After hearing about Wayne's achievements in the Undead Kingdom in recent years, Noah couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of red-gold dragon fire.

This policy of allowing living people to continue to survive and reproduce not only reduced the enthusiasm of the Middle-earth countries to fight against the Scourge of the Undead, but also greatly increased the war potential of the Undead Kingdom.

As long as the undead keep enough mortals in captivity, the sea of ​​skeletons in the kingdom of the dead will have an almost endless supply of new blood, which will never run out.

This policy not only illustrates the transfer of power within the Undead Kingdom, but also exposes the ambitions of its new ruler, who really wants to establish an all-inclusive Undead Empire.

The living will of course resist death while they are alive, but when the ghosts of the dead tell them that after death, their corpses will be desecrated, their souls will be twisted, and they will be transformed into the undead, then not so many people will care, and may even be very happy.

There is no need to say much about the short-lived nobles who are greedy for life and afraid of death. The temptation of transforming into vampires is enough to shake their will.

For mortals, knowing that they will turn into ghosts after death is not only not a fear, but also a bit of anticipation, because this is the "eternal life" that they can also obtain.

"What do you want to do?"

"As you wish, you will become the second generation immortal king!"

Wayne, wearing black armor, stood up and stood with his hands behind his back. An aura of kingship suddenly emanated from him, filling the lifeless hall. Suddenly, there were countless vengeful spirits and banshees wailing and roaring, crawling at his feet. He was truly an almighty undead monarch.

"Do you still remember why I originally sent you to infiltrate the realm of the dead?"

Noah looked at his great nephew with strange eyes. After staring at him for a while, he slowly asked.

"That was a long time ago, uncle."

"You still admit that I am your great uncle!"

There was emotion in Noah's tone. Power is indeed the thing that can distort people's hearts the most, even the rights of the dead.

"Of course, you will always be my great uncle and I will always have the utmost respect for you."

Wayne sat back on his skeleton throne, but he was no longer as reserved as before. His body was slightly tilted to the side, his elbows resting on the skeleton armrests of the throne, and his palms raised to support his cheeks.

"Is this how you respect your elders?"

Noah couldn't help but laugh.

"As I recall you weren't particularly concerned with ceremonial dragons."

Wayne replied.

"You look very confident now. What did you get in the cemetery? This armor you are wearing?"

Noah didn't mind his nephew's small offense. This kid was quite arrogant when they first met, and he was full of self-confidence. After beating him up, he became much more obedient. Now he is itching for trouble again. He must have found something to rely on. It's not surprising. At most he can just beat him up again.

"This is a collection of the previous Immortal King. It is also one of his most proud works. It is a semi-artifact forged from the soul bone of an ancient black dragon whose soul fire has dried up, combined with many rare materials."

Seeing that Noah noticed the armor on him, Wayne introduced Jin Long and asked in surprise,
"Didn't you identify it? I heard that every mature dragon is an excellent identification master."

"As for appraising treasures from a distance, I am still a little behind those appraisal masters. I am just a dragon who is a little over a hundred years old. Besides, as a dragon, I am younger than you as a human."

Noah's tone became humble at this moment, but as soon as he said this, Wayne's expression suddenly froze.

"By the way, what happened to the previous Immortal King? Have you overthrown him?"

At this moment, the golden dragon was extremely curious.

"No, he will never wake up!"

Wayne's words were shocking.

"Hmm? What did you do to him? Can you tell me?"

"Of course, this is why you sent me here. I will tell you everything I know about the cemetery without reservation."

Wayne, who still retains his living body but exudes a strong aura of death that will not make people doubt his identity as the Lord of the Dead, began to talk.

“This is not my masterpiece alone, but the result of my collaboration with several legendary undeads.

We all agree that there is no need for His Majesty to wake up again. Letting him fall into eternal sleep is the greatest gift to our Undead Kingdom, and all the Undead will benefit from it."

"You guys dismantled that big skeleton?"

It is not uncommon for a lying Undead King to be stabbed in the back by his men.

The strict order within the Undead is even more exaggerated than that of the Demons. As the saying goes, the greater the oppression, the greater the resistance. In the hell of the abyss of order, every devil is a traitor with a rebellious mind. If given the chance, they will stab their superiors in the back without hesitation.

The undead appear lifeless, without the seven emotions and six desires of the living, but they are intelligent undead and, given the chance, will betray no slower than the devil.

"We really want to do this, but unfortunately we can't. His Majesty's body is too strong. We need a real divine weapon to cut his body."

"Have you contacted Parvati?"

Noah quickly thought of the power changes within the Elf Royal Court. He originally thought that his niece had been defeated by the old elf, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
