Chapter 341: Chapter 259: The Familiar Architectural Name, “Heroes of Might and Magic” from Memories of Home
The fourth layer of the underground space was completely different from the three layers above, as it was a tiny dimensional space, a Secret Realm.
The entire Secret Realm consisted of just a single Castle of the Undead, but here the aura of death was so dense that it was visible to the naked eye.
“Copperbeard, what kinds of buildings are there inside this Castle of the Undead?”
They had broken through the Death Barrier of the Undead Temple and appeared right in the center of the Castle of the Undead, able to see pretty much all of the castle’s buildings and facilities at a glance.
There weren’t many buildings, big or small, but each one had its unique features, which made Zi Liyuan green with envy.
“This is an Undead Castle built according to the Sea of Realms Lord’s castle blueprint. Apart from the foundation which I’ve just mentioned that’s made of bones, the rest of the constructions were built using the Sea of Realms’ architectural blueprints and materials from the Sea of Realms.”
As Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One reminisced, he pointed out some buildings one by one.
“The building that summons the Skeleton soldiers of the Sea of Realms—the Evil Temple;
The building that summons the Zombie soldiers of the Sea of Realms—the Graveyard;
The building that summons the Ghost soldiers of the Sea of Realms—the Spirit Tomb;
The building that summons the Vampire soldiers of the Sea of Realms—the Mansion;
The building that summons the Corpse Witch soldiers of the Sea of Realms—the Mausoleum;
The building that summons the Dark Knights of the Sea of Realms—Dark Hall;
The building that summons the Bone Dragon soldiers of the Sea of Realms—Dragon’s Peak;
…
A Sixth Order Death Magic Guild!”
With Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One’s introduction, Zi Liyuan was overwhelmed with emotions, even feeling an impulsive urge to cry.
The names of these buildings were all too familiar to him!
Back in his youth on Earth, he had started playing the strategy game “Heroes of Might and Magic” from its very first release.
And the most classic buildings of the Undead Race in “Heroes of Might and Magic III” were his favorite faction; he knew these names like the back of his hand.
But…
“Copperbeard, what the hell is a Sixth Order Death Magic Guild?”
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ???
Isn’t it that the Magic Guild built by each race only has five levels?
Could it be that a Fifth Level Magic Guild corresponds to Sixth Order magic?
“Sixth Order magic constitutes true forbidden curses, all of which have the power to destroy cities and fortresses, and building a Sixth Order Magic Guild requires extremely precious materials.
The Undead Mage, Andrew, managed to construct it using a Death Fallen Angel’s Heart, and even then, it was barely completed.
To construct this thing, he had to sacrifice the flesh and souls of ten thousand Fourth Order beings.”
As he said this, the soul flames flickering in the eye sockets of Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One surged violently.
When they saw the cruel and heartless side of the Undead Mage Andrew, their Dwarf Race realized something was wrong and covertly built several refuges within the ancient Undead castle.
However, unexpectedly, that treacherous beast mercilessly exterminated them without hesitation, even using their kin for barbaric living body experiments!
In the end, driven to desperation, the entire Dwarf Race chose to exterminate themselves.
Thinking of this, Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One’s hatred for the Undead Mage Andrew was like a towering wave, wishing he could smash him to smithereens!
Unfortunately, the opponent was too strong. Even though he was already dead, he was not quite finished off and was still out of their reach.
Thinking of killing the Undead Mage Andrew, Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One fixed his deep, dark eye sockets on his new master, Zi Liyuan.
A Third Order Level 80, but his strength far exceeded most Fourth Order Level 100 powerhouses, and he had even formed numerous Lord Boss legions, not to mention having Epic Bosses and Legendary Bosses as enforcers.
Just with this apparent strength alone, once Zi Liyuan reached a Fourth Order Level 100, he would undoubtedly be able to confront the Undead Mage Andrew head-on.
Head-on, referring to Andrew’s peak strength when he was still alive!
As for the half-dead Andrew now, Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One was not sure how much strength remained, but he probably couldn’t withstand an encirclement by Zi Liyuan.
“The entire Castle of the Undead is one entity, once we’ve entered, if Andrew isn’t completely dead, he would be able to monitor our every move.”
As Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One said this, he fell silent, but the soul flames began to fluctuate violently, sending a stream of peculiar soul messages through the contract they had signed to Zi Liyuan.
“Soul-to-soul communication can be accurately detected by the Castle of the Undead, but through the power of the contract, we can avoid the castle’s surveillance.”
The Undead Race, besides the deities personified by the rules of death, could be said to be the most adept at harnessing soul power.
But the power of the soul was too high-end; most Undead creatures needed to be at least Fourth Order Level 100 and evolved into at least the lowest tier of Heroic Bosses to properly use it.
The Castle of the Undead is the foundational city among the Lords within the Sea of Realms; it is tied to the Lord’s own strength.
The whole castle functions like the Lord’s own divine realm, capable of real-time monitoring of everything within it.
But the power of a contract leverages the rules of the Sea of Realms, which are far above the power of the Castle of the Undead, thus it can avoid the castle’s monitoring.
“Copperbeard, where or which building is likely the last resting place of the Undead Mage Andrew?”
There were dozens of buildings within the Castle of the Undead, besides those for summoning various troops and the Magic Guild, there were also many special buildings unique to the Undead Race, as well as some common construction facilities.
