Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 301: Teleportation Technique
As for Shaman, he is now a ninth-level upper-level vampire fang duke. With his excellent innate qualifications, if he takes the "promotion pill", it is basically guaranteed to be able to upgrade to the highest level and evolve to the tenth-level upper level. However, his title is still the vampire fang duke, but he has a level higher than the four vampire fang princes of Sablotu. This situation is really too special. For this reason, I dare not try it recklessly, for fear that it will bring some negative effects and affect Shaman's promotion to the vampire fang prince through the normal promotion challenge. Fortunately, after obtaining four initial forms of "promotion pills", I began to consider their distribution. In order not to act rashly with a half-knowledge, which would backfire and delay the future of my undead subordinates, I specially asked the dead old man a number of questions, and listed some of the undead subordinates who are qualified to take the "promotion pill" one by one, and asked the dead old man to analyze the consequences. The old man's performance this time was pretty good. Although he didn't give detailed comments and explanations as I wished, he did emphasize some specific taboos of taking the "Promotion Pill" during his conversation, which enabled me to have a further understanding of the function of the "Promotion Pill" and avoid making an irreparable mistake in choosing the target of taking it.
I have the "Promotion Pill", so I don't have to worry about the strength of Shaman. It may even become stronger after taking it, surpassing the normal vampire fang prince to reach the level of the tenth upper level, but its essence is still a vampire fang duke, and it can only transform into bats and human forms. It does not have the four-fold transformation ability of the vampire fang prince, fat bat, blood-winged bat man, exquisite bat, and human form, which makes its role will be discounted a lot, and it may not be as practical as the vampire fang prince. And according to the analysis made by the dead old man's veiled hint, once the "Promotion Pill" is taken, the undead creature will no longer have any possibility of evolution, not only in terms of level, but also in terms of titles and other related aspects. That is to say, even if Shaman has evolved to the tenth level, it is due to a gene mutation caused by unnatural factors. It has completely deviated from the category of a normal vampire fang and has become an "acquired variant" that will not be recognized by the vampire fang clan. Therefore, it no longer has the normal rights and interests of a vampire fang and can no longer upgrade its title through the promotion challenge. The four vampire fang princes will no longer recognize its identity as a vampire fang duke, let alone accept its challenge application. It has the tenth level of the upper level, but has lost the opportunity to be promoted to the vampire fang prince . This is also a restriction measure made by the system for the "promotion pill" to prevent its appearance from interfering with the natural replacement of different levels within the undead race, making those undead creatures that grow and evolve normally have almost no advantages. They will easily be defeated by individual "mutated undead" and other competitors will take control of the race, which is easy to destroy the original normal development system.
I am determined to win the position of the Vampire Fang Prince. I value not only the ability of quadruple transformation, but also the tactics of the four vampire Fang princes' joint attack. The combat power they exert is far above the general level 10 upper-level undead. I try my best to control them all in my hands and make them my right-hand men. However, the four vampire Fang princes are all top-level royal families with special equipment given by the system. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for them to agree to accept my "soul contract" and be forcibly subdued by me. The only feasible way is to divide and disintegrate from within the enemy. Shaman will defeat Sablotu, the strongest and most senior of the four vampire Fang princes, through the promotion challenge, and replace him to inherit the position of the first vampire Fang prince. Just like the way I subdued the five corpse kings in one fell swoop and the way I helped Khufu become the Pharaoh now, I used Shaman's authority as the first blood-sucking fang prince to oppress the other three blood-sucking fang princes, and then relied on my higher basic mental power to have the opportunity to forcefully subdue them. The seemingly unchangeable rules can only be conquered from the inside, and it is impossible to succeed by simply attacking from the outside. Letting Shaman, who has the opportunity to pass the promotion challenge and become a blood-sucking fang prince, take the "promotion pill" can be said to be an extremely short-sighted behavior that only cares about the immediate interests. It is definitely more harmful than beneficial, and the result will damage my real interests, which is not worth it.
Shaman was also excluded, leaving only the last pet to be conquered - the seventh-level upper-level forbidden mage Rossberg. It is the one that is most suitable for taking the "promotion pill". Unlike Taotao, it does not have the property of evolution, nor does it have the special characteristics of the vampire fangs to challenge and upgrade its level like Shaman. When it became my pet, it has been completely cut off from the space for growth and can no longer continuously improve its level through natural growth. It is restricted to the state of the seventh-level upper-level. As an elite among the forbidden mage population who was selected and evolved to the tenth-level profession through the special effects of the magic circle and mastered the "Death God's Dinner", the most powerful undead magic, Rossberg's innate qualifications are naturally unquestionable. Once it takes the "promotion pill", it can definitely upgrade to the highest level and evolve to the eighth-level upper-level. For the forbidden mage, especially the forbidden mage conquered by the undead wizard, this level of level improvement brings a very obvious effect on its strength. With a higher basic mental power, it will be able to sign a "soul contract" with higher-level undead creatures. It was previously at the middle level of level 10, but now it can definitely successfully subdue undead creatures at the upper level of level 10. This was originally only possible after I was promoted to the tenth-level profession, and it would take at least until next year. It was more than a year ahead of schedule, which would naturally be of great help to me. You know, as a master, I don't have enough mental power to summon undead subordinates at the upper level of level 10. I can take a roundabout route and summon undead at the upper level of level 10 through Rossberg to fight the enemy. Although I can only summon one at a time, there are multiple quotas to rotate, which is a great improvement in my combat effectiveness. Moreover, Rossberg, who has been promoted to the upper level of level 8, has more mental power. Not only can he withstand more damage, but he can also perform "undead summoning" more times, without me having to supplement it with "undead soul" magic too much, which further enhances his combat effectiveness. At the same time, the eighth-level taboo mage has increased the number of his undead subordinates, and can sign a "soul contract" with eight undead creatures, with more undead subordinates with different functions available for rotation to adapt to different battle situations. Let Rossberg take the next "promotion pill" and increase the level by one level. The effect that can be exerted is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary undead creatures, and there will be no negative effects at all, which can be said to be extremely cost-effective.
I placed Rossberg in a safe place and deployed heavy troops to protect him. After taking the "promotion pill", he must not be disturbed at all during the evolution period, otherwise it will easily affect the effect of the mutation, which will reduce the level that can be promoted, or even fail to achieve success. The evolution will fail and the user will be seriously injured. Of course, the process of "mutant evolution" is also very simple. Not only does it take a short time, unlike the normal evolution of other undead subordinates, which takes ten days or half a month, it does not need to absorb the spiritual power of my master. Everything is done by itself. As long as the security work is done, it will basically be fine. Rossberg's innate qualifications are indeed excellent. Maybe because of his low level, the process of mutation evolution is relatively easy. It took only fourteen hours to successfully complete the evolution. As I expected, the level was raised by one level, reaching the upper level of level eight. The number of undead creatures that can sign a "soul contract" increased from the original six to eight, and the basic spiritual power also increased significantly. It's a pity that there are no upper-level tenth-level undead creatures on hand to subdue, so it is impossible to verify whether it can really summon upper-level tenth-level undead subordinates. However, judging from the amount of increased basic mental power, the possibility should still be relatively high.
In addition to the pets that save relatively much mental energy when summoned, there is another undead that I urgently want to let take the "promotion pill" to try to raise it to a higher level. However, it is not an undead subordinate who has signed a "soul contract" with me and has been conquered by me. It is still free and has an independent will. It is just controlled by me, and its life and death are in my hands. It is the guardian of the "Blood Pool" of the Blood Witch Clan, the blood lich Temur. Although Temur is not my direct subordinate, there is no way to summon it to fight and serve me directly, but as a blood lich, it has another extremely important ability. I have to protect it and focus on it. I even have to give it a pill of the hard-won and extremely precious "promotion pill" for free to further improve its level. The reason is that I only value the ability of "blood change", which can improve the basic mental power of our undead wizards in a short period of time, and it plays a very important role.
The Blood Witch Clan is so large that there are not a few royal families. There are several Blood Emperors and Blood Kings. I am equipped with a "Blood Emperor Robe" that represents the identity of a Blood Emperor. However, there is only one Blood Lich, who is responsible for guarding the holy land "Blood Pool". It is the only one that has the ability to grant other undead creatures, especially our undead wizards, "blood transformation". This is the greatest function of the Blood Lich. At that time, on the one hand, I was not strong enough and was under pressure from the Bat Demon Tika. On the other hand, I did not have a suitable Great Blood Witch to replace me, so I had to accept the condition that Temur offered the ability to grant six "blood transformations" in exchange for preserving his life and status. When I had the ability to kill it and support another great blood witch to replace it, I was reluctant to give up the spiritual power that had been improved through "blood transformation" - the newcomer's strength was not as good as the original Temur, and he would naturally be inferior after he succeeded to the throne, so everything had to be cultivated from scratch, especially after the four "blood transformation" abilities were transferred and sold to Qingwu Feiyang, Qiushui Changtian and others, I didn't want to make trouble and change the generals in the middle. If it weren't for these, with my current strength, the bat demon Dika would not be able to restrain me at all, and would have killed Temur long ago. How could I allow such an important independent force to exist within my control?
The level of the Undead Royal Family, especially those who have been given special equipment by the system, is basically fixed. Continuous practice can only enhance their own strength and surpass the normal level limit, but cannot change the inherent level, just like the mummy pharaoh, the same level, but with a huge difference in strength. The fixed level of the blood lich is the ninth level, and the specific strength is not necessarily, there may be a big difference, because their succession procedure is the simplest. No matter what method is used, whether it is a single fight or a group fight, as long as the blood wizard kills the current blood lich personally, he can automatically put on the "lich robe" and succeed to become the new blood lich, and does not need to go through other processes such as inheritance and evolution. Therefore, apart from having an additional piece of royal equipment granted by the system and its level being changed to the blood lich's inherent ninth-level intermediate stage, the strength of the newly succeeded blood lich will not be much improved compared to the previous great blood lich. He can only continuously enhance his strength by soaking in the "blood pool" and growing through years of tempering. The specific level he can reach depends mainly on the blood lich's own innate qualifications and the growth environment and time it can get.
According to Temur's growth performance, although its qualifications are not too bad, they are not very good either. At most, it is of medium qualifications. If it had not taken advantage of me and killed the seriously injured former blood lich Douglas by a sneak attack, it would have taken a long time to become a blood lich with its strength. However, among the blood witches, the blood witches with better qualifications are often the most hated by the blood witch royal family in power. They have tried every means to eliminate them early, and will not give them the time and opportunity to grow up and threaten their throne. In addition to the losses caused by the war, the blood witches that are occasionally conquered by our undead wizards are all those with poor qualifications or weak strength. They are not likely to threaten the throne of the blood witch royal family for the time being. It is difficult to find a suitable blood witch to replace the current blood witch royal family. It is like picking a general from a cripple, so Temur has to occupy the position of blood lich and make do with it. However, its strength is indeed improving too slowly. Even with the help of the "Blood Pool", its current growth seems to have reached a bottleneck and has not made any progress. As a result, the basic mental power that I improved by using the "Blood Transformation" ability has remained at 15%. It has not increased for a long time. This is not a satisfactory result for me. For undead creatures, hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye, but I have to achieve the greatest results in a short period of one or two years, and they cannot grow slowly normally. However, Temur is not my direct subordinate, and the control over it is not strong enough. I can neither kill it nor have other more suitable candidates to succeed the blood lich. Temur would rather die than agree to sign a "soul contract" with me, be subdued by me, and seek a breakthrough with the help of my power. Therefore, apart from verbal urging, I have no more effective way to help it further enhance its strength, which has always troubled me.
Now that I have the "Promotion Pill", not only the undead subordinates I have conquered, but also the free undead creatures can take it. The problem is simple. As long as the blood lich Temur takes the "Promotion Pill", even if its innate qualifications are a little worse, my "Promotion Pill" has been specially processed by the dead old man, further increasing the probability of upgrading one level, and it still has a relatively large possibility of evolving to the tenth intermediate level. Moreover, the effect of the "Promotion Pill" is not only to improve the level, but also to enhance the strength accordingly. The ability to act on the "blood change" will naturally allow me to obtain a higher basic mental power improvement effect. In addition, the variant evolution achieved on the basis of the blood lich has broken through the inherent level limit of the system and has been promoted to a new stage. Maybe I can also get one or two additional indicators that give the "blood change" ability. At that time, whether it is kept for the use of the undead under my command, or transferred and sold to other undead wizards to obtain corresponding benefits, it means a lot of benefits to me. Although according to the dead old man's suggestion, if the undead royal family with special equipment granted by the system takes the "Promotion Pill" there will be certain side effects. As the level increases and the strength continues to increase, it is easier to lose control of the new power and unable to better coordinate with their special equipment. There is a danger of "self-destruction" if it continues to develop, but that is a matter for the future. At least according to Temur's condition, there should be no problem within two or three years. By then, the first phase of operation of "Tianxia" will have ended long ago, and whether it will "self-destruct" will not have any impact on me at all.
There shouldn't be any problem in getting the blood witch Temur to take the "Promotion Pill" honestly. Although he is not my direct subordinate and cannot be forced to order, his life and death are controlled by me. I am not forcing him to give up his independent consciousness and submit to me. He just swallows a "Promotion Pill" without damaging his self-esteem as a blood witch royal family. Moreover, it can improve his level and enhance his strength. Maybe he can become a blood royal family that is comparable to or even surpasses the bat demon Tika, and revive the glory of the blood witch clan. I believe it will be a big temptation for him. He threatens with force and lures with benefits. Temur cannot help but agree. The only thing that is a little unwilling is that I paid the price of a "Promotion Pill", but it is not only me who benefits, but also the four people who also obtained the "blood change" ability from Temur through the transfer transaction. Qingwu Feiyang, Xinbi Tiangao, Qiu Shui Changtian, and Tianxing also enjoy the effect of additional basic mental strength. Qingwu Feiyang and Xinbi Tiangao are allies with whom I have a good relationship, so it doesn't matter if I take advantage of them. Qiu Shui Changtian and Tianxing are always dissatisfied with me. There is no personal friendship between them, but more of a interest relationship within the same organization. I always feel at a disadvantage if I give these benefits to them for nothing.
I also thought about talking to Qiushui Changtian and Tianxing to see if I could get some more benefits from them in the name of "promotion pills" so that we could "raise funds" to help the blood lich Temur to improve his level and strength. However, given the way they behave, they are both experienced professional players who try their best to take advantage and are unwilling to suffer losses. It is basically impossible for them to agree to my conditions. I told Afeng about the relevant matters and discussed with him to make a decision for me, and I came to the same conclusion. If only Qiushui Changtian and Tianxing benefited, and I was not included, maybe I could threaten them to give me more benefits. The key is to let the blood lich take the "promotion pills" to further enhance its strength. I am also a direct beneficiary, and I also occupy the first two places of the "blood transformation" ability, which can be said to be the biggest benefit. Temur is under my control, and all other benefits that may arise from this will also belong to me. From the perspective of interests, Qiushui Changtian and Tianxing will definitely not agree to "joint venture" with me to compensate me for contributing the "promotion pill". Anyway, if I don't give the blood lich the "promotion pill", I, the "world's number one undead wizard", will lose the most. They can be patient and fight with me. I can't expect to get more and more benefits for myself, and treat others as fools.
No matter how I think about it, it seems impossible to get Qiushui Changtian and Tianxing to give me proper compensation. They can only take advantage of the blood lich Temur'er brought by the "promotion pill" for nothing. I feel helpless but also unwilling. Even if I can't get any actual benefits, I have to let them know who Lei Feng is. I have to let Qiushui Changtian, Tianxing, and Qingwu Feiyang know what I have paid. They have taken advantage of me for nothing, so they should remember to owe me a favor. I can always find a chance for them to pay me back.
I was racking my brains to figure out how to let Qiu Shui Chang Tian and the others know that I was going to give the blood lich Temur the "Promotion Pill". Should I go directly to their house and have a direct talk, or should I use a roundabout way to wake them up? Which way would be better so that my hard work would not be ignored? At this time, Qing Wu Fei Yang found me first and said that he had something to discuss with me.
"Fei Yang, what's the matter that requires such formality? Why do you have to tell me face to face?" Qingwu Feiyang made the excuse that she couldn't explain it clearly in a few words and insisted on talking to me in person. It was difficult to refuse her, so I had to make time to meet her in a private room of a restaurant in Beijing City. This also gave me the opportunity to tell them about the "Promotion Pill".
"This is not entirely my business. I was asked by someone to help you. All the expenses of the box are charged to their account. I am stuck in the 'Dead Soul Space' every day, so I can use this opportunity to relax."
I immediately showed an embarrassment, "To be honest, I have too many things to do in the 'Dead Soul Space' recently. It is just enough to maintain normal development. I am afraid it is difficult to spare too much time to be distracted by other things."
"This is something that happens in the 'Dead Soul Space'. If you are willing to participate, you can benefit from it. I think you might as well consider it . Otherwise, I won't bother you rashly."
"Oh, what's it?" I couldn't help but become interested.
"You should have completed the task of 'Knowing the Monument with Wisdom', right?"
Ever since I set a precedent and was the first to apply for the "Knowing the Monument with Wisdom" task, this task has gradually been opened up. However, I heard that currently only our top necromancers are eligible to apply for it. The weaker necromancers have no chance to complete it because it will only waste merit points unnecessarily.
Seeing me nod in acknowledgment, Qingwu Feiyang continued, "Qiu Shui also had the opportunity to apply for a 'Knowing the Monument with Wisdom' mission. He was lucky this time and learned a very practical skill - 'Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array'. He can set up teleportation magic arrays in the 'Dead Space' to assist the Undead Wizards in long-distance teleportation. A distance of thousands of miles can be reached in a blink of an eye, which can effectively save the time of long-distance travel and enhance the ability to move in the 'Dead Space', which will be very beneficial for future development."
It seems that I am not the only one who is lucky. The deployment technology of this "Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array" also has a wide range of uses. It is indeed quite practical for us necromancers who have an increasingly wide range of activities and need to travel back and forth. I really envy it. "Qiu Shui has this technology. When the time comes, I am afraid we will need to beg him. Why did he come to me for help?"
"Although it has a very important purpose, the deployment of the 'Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array' is not such a simple matter. The requirements can be said to be quite demanding. First of all, it is necessary to gather twelve undead wizards to work together to deploy it, no more and no less. The higher the basic mental power of the undead wizards participating in the deployment, the longer the actual distance that the teleportation magic array can teleport. Especially if you want to teleport across the continent and directly cross the 'Dragon Bone Mountain', at least one of the twelve undead wizards must have a basic mental power of the super silver layer or above. This is usually only achieved by the tenth-level professional Undead Holy Spirit Magister. Qiu Shui, Tian Xing, Ye You and I do not have such strength yet. I am afraid that only you, the 'World's No. 1 Undead Wizard', are qualified, so naturally your help is indispensable."
"How can you be so sure that my basic mental strength has reached the super silver level?" My personal attribute information is confidential and has never been revealed to outsiders. Qingwu Feiyang asked me for help without asking first, which obviously showed that he had already determined my level.
"That's easy. Based on the equipment you have, as well as the levels and numbers of the undead minions you can subdue and summon at one time, we can roughly tell that your basic mental power is obviously a bit higher than ours, and should have reached the super silver level."
