Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 383 Nagash Volume 9
However, when he gently pushed the door open and saw the slender figure inside, Levi was slightly stunned.
Because she is a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. To the outside world, she is a typical American sweetheart.
This is completely different from the image of the elf girl Lilith or the Lady of the Lake in the Kingdom of Bator.
But he soon returned to normal. For gods, appearance and even gender can be changed at will.
The current Elf God King Corellon once had many offspring with the Spider Queen Rose, but he later turned into a woman and gave birth to Moonbow alone.
Gods are beings at the pinnacle of all races. Their bodies are condensed from divine power and cannot be viewed with common sense.
But in any case, now that Lilith showed this appearance to him, it was obvious that there was something special.
Then he saw a very ancient-looking parchment scroll on the table next to him.
The language used on the cover is not the human or elven language that is more common today, but hieroglyphics, which are unique to the Tomb Kings.
Combined with the previous information, that is to say, it is one of the nine volumes of Nagash that the Vampire Queen, as well as many vampires and undead in the main world dream of!
Although he had expected it, when it was actually placed in front of him, Levi couldn't help but feel a little excited.
But he adjusted his mood in the blink of an eye and just bowed to Lilith with a slight respect.
Lilith nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be polite. Compared with such superficial etiquette, she paid more attention to practical actions.
"Levi, the intelligence you provided this time was very timely, allowing us to successfully repel Mala and recover a lost god."
"The Lost God?"
This was another special word that Levi had never heard of before, but looking at Lilith's slightly serious expression, he knew that this matter must be not simple.
But it’s true, when it comes to “God”, nothing is simple.
"Gods will also perish, but they may have broken bodies or fragmented consciousness left. If they are combined with sufficient energy and used by the enemy, it is possible to create a special 'Lost God'."
"Of course they are not gods, but they possess certain powers, characteristics, and past memories that belong only to gods, and can exert combat power far beyond that of ordinary beings."
Levi's mind raced, and then he suddenly realized: "That special vampire..."
Lilith nodded. "Yes, he is the remains of the God of Mystery and a bit of his consciousness. It was supposed to be the web that Spider Queen Rose had woven for us, but before she could really finish it, it was accidentally triggered by Mala and destroyed by us."
Unfortunately, Rose had obviously done some deliberate manipulation, and although they had successfully purified it, it was almost impossible to condense a new maze godhood or priesthood through his remains.
As for the ring, there might be some possibility.
But they still couldn't act rashly. Who knew if there might be her second trap hidden in it?
Levi was suddenly more and more surprised. He didn't expect that the Spider Queen Rose was involved behind this.
There is not just one evil goddess, demon or devil, but among them, Rose is undoubtedly the most cruel and vicious one.
Compared to her, the Queen of the Sea, the Sick Girl and the like pale in comparison.
Although she is a god, she openly occupied a certain layer of the demons' bottomless abyss and beat the surrounding demon lords into a pulp. She is well-known for her power and cruelty.
But she was undoubtedly very cunning. After realizing that the trap had failed, she decisively chose to give up and did not even appear from beginning to end.
As for the God of Mazes, Levi also knew something about him. Although he himself was very weak, he was of extraordinary significance to the elves and the elven gods. It was just that he died suddenly at that time.
Now it seems that it was most likely Rose's plan behind the scenes.
Seeing Levi's face full of surprise, Lilith didn't care, because before this, the performance of the elven gods was even worse than his.
She just looked at the parchment scroll on the table and said, "This is the fourth of the nine scrolls of Nagash. In addition to some evil magic, it also records many of the gods' guards that Nagash himself transformed. Now, it is in your hands to use."
Levi was immediately overjoyed, and he naturally expressed his gratitude to the goddess first.
But Lilith found it a little funny. This little guy was so calm and composed most of the time. Now he had this exaggerated expression. Was he doing it on purpose for her to see?
"No need to do that. I have always followed the principle of rewarding those who have made contributions. But it is not easy to use it well."
Levi pretended to listen attentively.
Lilith pondered for a moment and said, "You should know that the gods guarding the Tomb Kings used the heroic souls of their dynasty's warriors, but Nagash was a rebel. He didn't have these, so he found another way."
"He instead uses the souls of mortals, or even the life or soul essence of otherworldly creatures such as demons or devils, and transforms it into the power that drives the gods' guards."
Levi's pupils trembled instantly: "How, how is this possible?"
In fact, to this day, many mages and priests in the main world still have different opinions on whether demons and devils have souls.
Some people believe that demons or devils possess souls, but others believe that they actually represent a distorted concept.
When they are born in the Abyss or the Nine Hells of Baator, they have become one with each other, so they can only be killed there.
When they descended into the main world, they were just a separated consciousness. Even if they were killed in the main world, they could still be resurrected in their nest.
The strength may become weaker, the level may be reduced, or it may be reincarnated directly, but it is certain that you will not die completely.
And what is certain is that even if they do have souls, they must be very different from the souls of mortals.
The little bit of consciousness they have in the main world is also extremely difficult to imprison.
Even the Chaos Dwarves who specialize in enslaving demons tend to modify the bodies of demons, or use parts of their limbs to gain some of the demons' power.
But if it is possible to command the gods to guard, then what Nagash uses cannot possibly be the little bit of consciousness of the demons.
It is very likely that he directly pulled the other person's entire consciousness out of the bottomless abyss!
But this is something that even most gods cannot do. Otherwise, the gods represented by the Three Holy Ones and their believers would surely hunt demons desperately every day.
Perhaps, some gods of death with the ministry of death could do this?
As if she understood Levi's expression, Lilith sighed softly: "It seems you guessed it too."
"After Nagash caused the deaths of tens of millions of mortals, he should have mastered some special priesthood or knowledge related to death with his own talents."
Even though she claimed to be a goddess of great talent, Lilith still couldn't help but sigh that although Nagash's methods were despicable, his talent and genius were indeed enough to amaze everyone, even the gods.
Because he was too conceited and did not understand people's hearts, he was eventually deserted by his friends and relatives, and except for Black Arkhan, he had almost no available manpower.
This allowed the Egyptian gods to launch a counterattack at a critical moment, otherwise there might have been a powerful god of death among the gods.
Unfortunately, that is no longer possible.
When he was at his most powerful, he was killed by the Egyptian gods and their chosen one, Prince Alcadeza, and his strength was obviously weakened.
After his resurrection, he was defeated by Sigma, who had not yet ascended to godhood, using his divine hammer, Ghalmalaz. He didn't even know how many pieces his soul was shattered into.
Even if he could be resurrected again now, his strength and talent would probably be far inferior to before.
But he did make a significant contribution to his side.
If Levi could successfully master his power, and add his own power and the power of the elven gods, then perhaps the elven pantheon would really have an extra god of death.
By then, when facing the outside world, the entire elven pantheon will benefit greatly from it.
Demons and devils have plagued the main world for countless years. Countless outstanding priests, knights of the faith, and devout believers have been seduced into corruption or killed by them.
Therefore, the gods also hate demons and devils, especially the famous Lords of the Abyss, the Duke of the Nine Hells of Baator, and so on.
If Levi could bring all their consciousness to the main world and then kill them completely, the gods would be willing to pay a very high price for it!
Although through their planning, Yue Gong has now obtained the most basic priesthood of death, but it does not perfectly integrate with her nature, and often results in half the effort and twice the results.
And that priesthood is not perfect, they need to obtain more .
However, just one volume is probably far from enough.
"These things are all recorded on it. What I am going to tell you now are my requirements and expectations of you."
Lilith's face suddenly straightened: "Levi, in order to prevent the Nine Volumes of Nagash from being used by evil forces, and to be able to eliminate demons and devils more effectively, I want you to do your best to collect the Nine Volumes of Nagash!"
"Yes, my lady, as you wish."
Without any hesitation, Levi agreed immediately.
Not to mention that the decision made by God will not be easily changed, this matter itself is of great benefit to him, isn't it?
Lilith was also slightly surprised. She didn't expect him to be so decisive. But when she heard his address, she knew that he had already made clear his other identity.
The knights of the Kingdom of Batto like to call the Lady of the Lake this way.
She nodded again. "After obtaining the nine volumes of Nagash, you should have a vague sense of where the nearest volume is, except for the ninth volume held by Black-Arkhan."
Levi raised his eyebrows: "Madam, with your power..."
Lilith couldn't help but snort when she heard that, and looked a little annoyed.
"Nagash has placed certain restrictions on it. He forbids any being with godhood or priesthood from using it, except himself."
"With my power, I can crack it by force, but if I do that, it will most likely break directly, and we won't be able to use its power to gain his knowledge."
Looking at Lilith's appearance, Levi couldn't help but laugh secretly. This Nagash was indeed as arrogant as the rumors said.
Since the goddess has given the order, he naturally has to obey!
The Fourth Volume of the Nine Books of Nagash (Gold - Legend - Wonders):
Effect 1: You can create Nagash's Death Guard. The strength of the Death Guard will vary depending on the amount of metal, stone, gold, and soul crystals consumed.
Humanoid: Jackal, Eagle, Beetle;
Animal form: scorpion, scarab;
War Behemoth Type: Sphinx.
Effect 2, Bind Soul. When an enemy dies in a nearby battle, you can activate the Nine Scrolls of Nagash to bind its soul and transform it into a special soul crystal for subsequent use.
Note 1: The quality of souls varies, and the strength of the Death Guards created from them will also vary significantly. The soul of a dragon will far outperform 10,000 goblins.
Note 2: If the deceased was a devout believer of a certain god, performing this action is likely to anger the god that the other person believes in.
Effect 3, Evil Oath, when using the Otherworldly Oath or other similar magic, if the summoned target is a demon or devil, there is a 15% chance that the opponent's true body will be summoned.
At that time, the opponent's strength will be enhanced to a certain extent, but if you kill it, there is a high probability that the opponent will die permanently, and you may obtain high-quality soul crystals.
Effect 4, Nine Volumes Echoing, based on your strength, you will be able to sense the vague direction of the other Nine Volumes of Nagash;
Effect 5, Whisper of Darkness, you have a low chance every day to comprehend a dark or necromancy magic that is mastered by Nagash but you have not yet mastered (the specific level is based on your level and intelligence, up to level 5).
Note: If you are not satisfied with the magic you have comprehended, you can give up this opportunity, but you will never get it again.
Equipment requirements: Level 15, Intelligence 20
Occupational restrictions: Mage and its branches or advanced occupations
Special requirements: If it is not Nagash himself, any existence with a priesthood or godhood will not be able to use it
Treasure Curse 1: Other beings holding the Nine Scrolls of Nagash may be able to sense your vague direction and location;
Curse of Treasure 2: As the secret treasure of Nagash, it has great appeal to all undead, necromancers, and other evil beings who use death magic. Once they know it, they will have a high chance of snatching it.
Treasure Curse 3: Before a certain number of the Nine Volumes of Nagash are collected, it will definitely drop after death.
(One of the secret treasures used by Nagash. Due to the loss of a large amount of energy over a long period of time, its quality and effect have declined, and its various functions are also missing. If new volumes can be collected, perhaps its various abilities can be supplemented to a certain extent.)
Is this the power of the Nine Volumes of Nagash? No wonder even the Vampire Queen gave up her hundreds of years of lurking plan and ordered the Silver Blood Army to march westward in a massive manner, even if it was hundreds of miles away.
Even if the attribute is not improved at all, its value is terrifyingly high for the leader of a faction or the undead of the magic system.
And it is possible that Nagash has indeed touched the threshold of God. From the names he gave to these special constructs, we can roughly see his ambition.
After just taking a quick look at the requirements for creating a Death Guard, Levi felt a little headache.
Gold coins and materials are not that difficult to deal with. The most common jackal type requires about 7 gold coins, which is slightly higher than the recruitment cost of the regular 4th-level troops.
But the performance of those jackal heads in the previous battle was indeed significantly better than that of ordinary level 4 troops, so it can be said that they were worth the money.
Most of the other models have been seen before in the deep pollution pit.
As for the war monster-type Sphinx, among the Tomb Kings, it was nicknamed "Tigger" by some of the chosen heroes.
Although they are structures about ten meters long and several meters high, their flexibility is not much inferior to that of real tigers.
Pounce, run, jump, sweep... Due to their huge size, each move can cause great damage to the enemy. They are a powerful troop of up to level 7.
Even if it had no other functions, just for this one function, the Nine Volumes of Nagash is worthy of being a legendary treasure.
However, making them requires a very special material, which is soul crystal.
And what Levi felt was a little bit strange was that this was both the Whisper of Darkness and the collection of souls. Could it be that Nagash had done something to prepare for his resurrection?
After asking this question, Lilith smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. The gods have completely blocked this possibility. If it weren't for the purpose of searching for the other eight volumes, we would also be able to block the other holders' perception of you."
Nagash is indeed unique, but he is not a true god after all, and he does not understand the power that gods possess.
Is that so? Levi felt relieved.
He began to input his magical power, and carefully sensed the locations of the other eight volumes.
It wasn't smooth at first because he was completely unfamiliar with it, but after several attempts, he finally sensed the two targets.
One of the volumes is located to the west of here, perhaps less than a hundred miles away. Is it the location of Bafeng Mountain?
As for the other volume, it is located in the southeast, about two or three hundred miles away.
It is in the mountains called "Glory of Nagash" where the Silver Blood Army is located.
It seems that the Vampire Queen is indeed quite capable.
Although it is not known what method she used, she did find the locations of the two volumes one after another.
Well, is it possible that she sensed it because she had other scrolls in her hands?
After listening to Levi's words, Lilith frowned slightly.
As the largest and most fertile territory of the Dwarven kingdoms that have ever fallen, Eight Peaks has always been closely watched by the Dwarven gods.
If they didn't want to use it to hone the dwarves' strength and minds, they would have probably taken it back themselves a long time ago.
Under such circumstances, there was no way that she, or the other gods, could go there in person.
Even legends like the Dragon Prince or Tigris are not suitable. In the end, Levi will probably have to take action on this matter.
As for the Vampire Queen...
Lilith fell into deep thought, tapping the tabletop with her fingers from time to time.
Levi also had a lot of thoughts. Lilith was so good to him. Was it really just as she said, that she would reward those who did her a favor?
And as a goddess, doesn't she look too approachable?
But it seems that her three identities all look like this.
Not to mention the Lady of the Lake, once an outstanding knight breaks through numerous tests, she will appear in person and give the nectar in the Holy Grail to the knight to drink, making him a true dragon among men. This happens more than once every year.
As an innocent girl and moon goddess of the elves, Lilith would occasionally give treasures to outstanding elven wizards.
The most typical representative of them is Teclis, whose Moon Staff is said to be a powerful weapon of legendary level, and it was also given by her.
As the goddess of fog, she does not actively spread any fog, but instead guides people in the fog out of trouble. The fog can be physical or spiritual.
Therefore, she is also regarded as the patron saint of travelers and lost people.
All in all, apart from concealing her identity, she can be regarded as a very outstanding and kind goddess in every aspect.
In particular, he has appeared in person many times, and is the undisputed top worker among all the gods.
At the same time, she is very scheming and generous. The more Levi thinks about it, the more he feels that if he can follow her, it would be a very good choice no matter how you look at it.
In particular, her appearance today is very much in line with Levi's aesthetic. I have to admit that this is indeed a big plus.
Just as Levi was daydreaming, he saw that Lilith had recovered. She noticed Levi's admiring look, but she didn't care at all.
Although there are actually not many men who dare to look at her like this, she is descended from the elven pantheon and has seen a lot.
The current God-King Corellon can be either a man or a woman, and has even given birth to children. So what does it matter if she is looked at twice?
Of course, this is only because Levi is good enough. If it were any other God-chosen hero who was not as good as him, she would not show up in person.
"I see, Levi, there is indeed a possibility that she has a scroll. In this case, perhaps my final treatment of her may have to change slightly."
Levi couldn't help but feel moved, and he asked tentatively: "What does the lady mean?"
Lilith said calmly, "The Goddess of Death has disappeared for many years. There are very few dead creatures among the elves. This is incomplete for a race."
This has nothing to do with justice or evil; she is looking at the future of the entire race.
The elven gods are temporarily unable to create a new god of death, the gatekeeper of the underworld - Nisu. Not to mention that he himself is only a weak god, he is also in the chaotic camp and does things as he pleases.
At the same time, he really doesn't like to interact with other people or gods, or is afraid of them, and only likes to stay with the undead he created all day long.
She took the initiative to visit him several times, but he either pretended to be away or refused to contact her with excuses, which made it impossible for her to communicate with him effectively, let alone expect him to do something.
So she had to use her own methods, and vampires were a good start.
Because they have higher intelligence, their own joys and sorrows, anger and happiness, desires, and their weaknesses are very obvious, so they are easier to control.
After Lilith finished speaking, she immediately noticed that Levi was obviously hesitant, which was quite rare for him.
Considering the many female vampires in his team, Lilith thought there must be some connection.
But she did not urge him at all. She just looked at him quietly. Even though her time was precious, she could still spare some time.
Because she also knew that Levi would come up with the best solution in the end.
After a few seconds, Levi finally made a decision and told the other party about the ring in Lucia's hand and everything about Alucard.
He originally intended to make Lucia his subordinate, so that no matter how great her achievements or how powerful she was in the future, they would all belong to them together.
But the issue of Dracula has not been completely resolved yet, and Lucia still has concerns, so she has no intention of swearing allegiance to him for the time being.
If he let her go and work for Lilith, things might get out of his control.
However, he finally made this decision because he believed that once the plan succeeded, neither Lilith nor Lucia would forget him.
Of course, in addition to Lilith, Lucia herself needs to be willing.
But he believed that was not a problem, because as a goddess, Lilith was not only extremely intelligent, but she also had many advantages that could impress Lucia.
Moreover, this is actually a very good choice for Lucia.
Dracula has always wanted to use his Eclipse Alliance to overwhelm the four major families, but if Levi's plan succeeds, Lucia will have the possibility to replace Neferata and become the new, more powerful vampire queen.
By then, she would not simply kill Dracula, she would more likely completely destroy all his strength.
And with the bloodstone ring, her brother Alucard as an insider, and most importantly, the help from the goddess Lilith.
The probability of failure of this plan will be infinitely close to zero!
