Volume 11: The Crown Prince Chapter 31: Insider Investigates Insider
Lu Bai put the resources away and also packaged a few guys who were planning to rob his fellow thieves, ready to take advantage of them at any time.
At the same time, he held the contracts of many undead slaves in his hands, and controlled these undead to follow him and quickly leave the surrounding area where the gathering was taking place.
This kind of undead slave contract is very effective, but precisely because of its effectiveness, if the contract is formed into a spell and carried on one's body, it will have an impact on the person who signed the contract.
This influence is of no problem for undead slaves, as their contracts are naturally imprinted on them.
But it seemed to be a bit problematic for slave owners, and it was not conducive to buying and selling.
Therefore, when signing, most people would carry the other part of the contract on a physical object, thereby reducing their own pressure and facilitating the slave trade.
Lu Bai looked at the contract thoughtfully, and an inspiration emerged in his mind, but now was not the time to do this.
The fact that he bought it for free would not stand up to scrutiny and would definitely be discovered, but it was not a big deal as long as he stayed far enough away.
Now that the party is not over, it seems that they are a little overwhelmed.
In addition to Lu Bai causing trouble here, there are also people causing trouble in other places.
These people may come from the White Bone King, or from No Return, or from other subordinate forces .
Things were complicated and the letters for help sent to the headquarters of the Cult of the Dead were also complicated.
However, there are very few Undead Bishops who can get support.
More often than not, nothing is done and the letter for help sinks into the sea.
In this situation, the Undead Bishop could only send people to punish those guys who didn't escape far enough. As for people like Lu Bai who ran far away, he didn't dare to pursue them at this time.
Waiting anxiously for things to change.
However, things did change soon, as the Skeleton King's men arrived.
They heard that a hateful monster with the ability to use space appeared at the gathering, so they sent people to check out the situation.
First of all, the people on the side of the Skeleton King knew very well that they did have some actions against the Undead Cult, but they did not send anyone to the Busan Gathering.
Secondly, after investigation, the people on the side of the Skeleton King discovered some problems, that is, it seemed that some of the Skeleton King's power had indeed been activated.
This caught their attention, as if someone had secretly used the power of the Bone King?
Finally, just because they didn’t have a chance to get together before doesn’t mean they won’t do it now.
After the previous turmoil, some problems were exposed by not disbanding the gathering.
For example, why did the Bishop of the Dead only appear after the unrest had lasted for a long time and many people had fled?
Where did he go before that?
You know, as the Bishop of the Undead, there are very few things that are worthy of his personal handling, and he would not reply for such a long time after handling them.
In other words, the things he deals with are, to a large extent, more important than his home platform "The Party Never Divides".
As for matters in this regard, the only thing left to note is the recent developments of the Cult of the Dead.
Even if the other party is not the focus of the matter, there must be some related arrangements related to this bishop.
So immediately some gazes were cast out.
The Undead Bishop was also in the main castle where the party was not disbanding at this time, with a gloomy face.
There has been no response to the letter for help until now, which means he has been abandoned.
This is not impossible, even though he was still doing his best to contribute to the headquarters of the Undead Cult.
However, in the kingdom of no death, this level of betrayal is all too common.
The problem is that this is a society of the strong.
The strong have a natural power over the weak.
The strong can betray the weak at will and play with the other's life at will.
But it is difficult for the weak to betray the strong, especially a large sect like the Cult of the Dead.
They are large in size, and while it is nice to stay under the shade of a big tree, the big tree also provides them with shadows.
The entire Undead Cult has a complete control system for its subordinates.
In other words, they can ensure that if I am unkind, you cannot be unjust.
Under this operation, the Undead Bishop cannot betray even if he wants to, otherwise his own identity as a bishop will completely , leaving him dead without a burial place.
The original name of the Bishop of the Dead had already been deposited in the Church of the Dead when he joined the church. From then on, whenever he addressed the outside world, he basically referred to his position.
After all, the Undead Bishops rarely gather together, and when they do, they often address each other by the region where they serve.
Whether the real name is important or not depends mainly on whether the relevant rituals have been performed.
Through the ritual, the true name can gather its own existence and, to a certain extent, play a similar role to Lu Bai's personal symbolic mark.
However, this real name gathered according to the ritual will become a means of counterattack against oneself if the origin is not in one's own hands, which is different from Lu Bai's performance.
This act of real name condensation, while bringing great convenience to the bishops, also became a means of restraining them.
"Get ready, prepare for a great war." The Undead Bishop said, and all the accumulation of the gathering over the past hundred years began to operate at this moment.
The gathering had lasted for a hundred years, and finally the day of disbanding had arrived.
When the three men of the Bone King stepped into this area, they found that the party was still going on, with singing and dancing everywhere, and it seemed like a peaceful scene.
Everyone was full of enthusiasm and joy, reveling in the city.
"Young master, be careful." Liu Bai stood in the middle with a playful look on his face, and next to him, two guys with standard bones all over their bodies were reminding him.
"All of the people gathered here now are part of a certain force."
"The other party has held a gathering for a hundred years, which is a ritual in itself. This ritual has been transformed into everything that is happening right now."
"I know." Liu Bai nodded and didn't care.
He also didn't expect that he was the one sent to investigate this matter.
It is equivalent to letting the insider investigate the insider.
Before, whether it was the food that suddenly turned into hateful bones, or the people who smuggled in, all turned into bone people.
In essence, Lu Bai was using the Bone King's authority in the Immortal Kingdom to cause trouble.
Where does this authority come from?
When the White Bone King first harmed Old Bone, he gave Liu Bai some authority information, allowing him to use this to counter Old Bone.
There will naturally be no problem with this permission information.
The problem is that Lu Bai himself is at the same level as the Skeleton King. With the help of this information, he can completely bypass the Skeleton King to a certain extent and exercise the other party's authority slightly.
All we can say is that Lu Bai hid in the dark and seized a small flaw of the opponent.
This small flaw naturally did not pose a big problem for the Skeleton King.
His real authority has not been shaken, but this behavior is like someone is doing things outside under his name.
It would be fine if he was only targeting the Necromancer now, as he already had related ideas.
But if at some point in time, the other party suddenly does the same thing to someone else under his name, it might cause him unnecessary trouble.
The Bone King himself is not the strongest being in the Kingdom of No Death, so it is not advisable for him to make too many enemies.
But the Skeleton King himself didn't have much information about this matter.
The White Bone King has exercised his authority many times, and many people have obtained his authorization to help him do certain things.
For example, the three people on the greeting card built a bone altar and offered sacrifices to the dirty earth using the authority of the Bone King.
So now the Skeleton King only has two suspicions. One is that he did not deal with the individuals who had the authority he granted.
This is possible. Although the Skeleton King is used to hiding his bows after all the birds are killed and cooking up the dogs after all the rabbits are dead, and is very skilled in harming his tools, there are always times when some tools are not completely killed due to external forces.
Second, several other individuals who also possess similar authority are using their own authority to conduct similar exchanges and disguises.
This is actually not difficult for them.
The Skeleton King himself had done something similar, which was to send someone, disguise him as a messenger from other forces, and then do things that were not convenient for him or his own people to do.
So, this problem, which could be a big or small issue, was handed over to Liu Bai.
As for the two standard undeads beside Liu Bai, they are powerful undead servants produced by the Skeleton King.
They should have been no different from normal life, but a long time ago, they began to constantly replace their body parts.
It is just like mechanical ascension, the difference is that they are not mechanical ascension but bone ascension, and their bodies are made up of various bone accessories.
In the process, these accessories had a great impact on their spirits, so that now, their outer souls have become consistent.
The two people were like stereotypes. Although they still had souls, they had already been fixed in place.
In this case, it is difficult to say that they are still individuals with "autonomous consciousness".
However, although they have been "tamed" into standardized life individuals, their strength is not weak.
Before, Hepa got the 666I that he had been longing for. They each carried three on their bodies, and the power could be gathered in a triangle to form a powerful energy gathering effect.
In addition, they are also equipped with various advanced bone parts, and because of the standardization of their spirits, they no longer have any extra emotions and thoughts, and are all focused on fighting and protecting. Therefore, their combat effectiveness has been raised to a higher level.
Even among the Skeleton Kings, there are only a few of these high-level standard undead servants, only about a hundred.
The fact that he was able to send two people to follow Liu Bai showed that he really cared about this disciple.
"Are you here to attend the party?" As soon as Liu Bai and his companions entered the city, someone came over and asked enthusiastically.
At the same time, the three of them felt a huge force pressing down on them in response to this question.
