Sitting in front of the console blankly, I wanted to just let everything go and not care about anything. It's a pity that as the lord of this land, if you leave it alone, there really won't be anyone else to do it for you.
The two apprentices wanted to cheer up and deal with the mess outside, but they were dismissed by Lin. He said to the two girls whose eyes were still red: "Just take care of the things inside the tower and concentrate on your studies. Leave the things outside to me."
This time, Lin didn't want to throw the responsibility on them. The situation outside is too miserable. Instead of leaving the matter to two immature girls to finish the matter, and then spend time on psychological construction, it is better to deal with it yourself from the beginning. Anyway, this result was caused by myself, so it is natural for me to deal with the aftermath.
But before that, we have to communicate with the group of living people outside the tower. Pick up the helmet used to control the clone in the three-dimensional imaging technique and put it on. With a snap of his fingers, the arcane eyes that looked at the Renaissance Army and the residents of the town immediately moved in reverse, changing the function of absorbing the light spectrum to ejecting it in the opposite direction, condensing his own clone.
Compared with the flawless projection in the tower, the clone image projected back using the Arcane Eye is lighter, slightly transparent, and has no spellcasting ability. But the voices, expressions, and movements can be faithfully presented. Lin cupped his hands and said in greeting: "Everyone."
The sudden appearance of the tower owner frightened everyone. Among the astonished people, Mira Salian came out and said politely: "Your Excellency, Tower Master."
"Everyone is safe and sound, which can be said to be the only good thing today."
"Thank you for your mercy." Mira Salian said with a sour tone: "But don't you think it's too much for you to do this?"
With a wry smile, Lin said awkwardly: "I didn't instigate the incident. And once the magic is cast, I have no way to safely stop it. It's not something I would like to see it develop to this point. I can only say that I am very sorry."
On this point, Lin was not lying. In the improved version of the light bomb attack array, once the target is locked and the magic is activated, there are only two situations in which it can stop: the target is completely destroyed or escapes from the locking range, or the magic tower is destroyed. Lin had never thought of needing the interrupt function of Ctrl+C before.
Mira Salian didn’t want to ask too many questions. On the one hand, they are unwilling to overly stimulate the tower owner, and on the other hand, it is indeed the Marquis Neumann and others who are to blame. She was neither sullen nor angry, and asked: "So, what is the purpose of Your Excellency appearing in front of us as a clone?"
Only then did Lin take a closer look at the heroic eldest princess in front of her. Wearing appropriate heavy armor, he still maintains his body shape and flexibility, and does not suffer from inconvenience in the joints due to the armor. The head of the flail tied around his waist was stained with blood, and you could tell at a glance that it was not a fake. Coupled with the simple rune on the left chest, it is not the crest of a noble.
"Is that the mark of the mysterious Lord?" Lin has been dealing with runes since he traveled to the world of Mystery. Of course, I am also quite familiar with the mystery of one of the eight powers, the gods and related knowledge to which it belongs.
"Yes. This is the mark of Klein, the mysterious lord. And my other identity is the temple warrior chief of the mysterious church." Although Mira Salian claimed her identity, she did not say that she was in the church. pronoun. This is also the practice of the top officials of the Mysterious Church, to prevent enemies made by 'White Mist' from coming to cause trouble for them.
Lin also knew the weight of the title 'Temple Warrior Chief', which was the pinnacle of force among the civil and military forces under the divine authority. Furthermore, Klein, the Lord of Mystery, is in charge of one of the eight powers used by magicians. Even if magicians do not believe in them, they are not hostile. Therefore, the Lord of Mystery is considered to be at the forefront of the divine authority in the Mysterious World. .
So Lin put aside some unnecessary worries and asked politely: "Your Highness, I wonder if your religion has any rituals for transcending the dead?"
"Transcending the undead?" Mira Salian didn't quite understand this term.
Lin's understanding of the Theocratic Church was limited to rumors, and he did not understand the details. In the past, people who suffered from serious illnesses or minor injuries always sought solutions from magic. I had never dealt with the church, so I didn’t know the differences between the churches. For a magician, the services provided by each church are similar, so it is difficult to distinguish.
As for transcending the undead, he applied his understanding of the knowledge on Earth to the world of Lost Earth. But I didn’t expect that there is no such statement in the Lost World, or that the Mysterious Church does not have such a business?
Trying to use words that others can understand, Lin explained: "It is to let the soul of death go to the underworld safely, or to the gods he believes in, and not to stay in the living world. You see so many people died in this battle, if it triggers the undead A natural disaster or something, that would be terrible. I don’t want the place where I live to be haunted all day long.”
Seemingly understanding Lin's words, Mira Salian said: "I understand what you mean by transcending the undead. The Lord of Mystery does not have related rituals. To deal with the undead, we do have magical techniques that directly destroy the spirit body. However, You don’t have to worry about this kind of problem. In my eyes, the souls of the dead here are no longer here, so there will be no problem of the undead. As for the reason, I don’t know. But it doesn’t seem like there is a hidden dark mage deliberately here. Collect the souls of the war dead. There is no unpleasant smell in the air."
"In other words, the dead here are just pieces of meat?"
"Meat? Yes, if you want to describe it this way, it is indeed just a piece of meat. But without a soul, the corpse will still be used by the dark mage... Um, okay, let me correct you. The dark mage doesn't even bother to use the corpse here. Bar."
In the magic of the undead system, whether you want to make stitched corpses, skeleton soldiers, or even higher-level undead knights, lichs, etc., one thing in common is that the corpse must be complete to a certain extent. The most important of them is the spine. Everyone here was pierced to death by light bullet magic, and their spines and sternums were also damaged. The dark mages would only shake their heads after seeing this.
Since there was no possibility of being haunted, Lin said with peace of mind: "Your Highness, the people here are all nobles and soldiers of your Frank Kingdom."
"Yes, so?" Mira Salian raised her eyebrows. Is this a prelude to blackmail?
"So are there any deceased persons with status that you need to return to the family as courtesy? If not, I will handle it according to my method. Otherwise, there will be so many deceased people scattered around, and the natural disaster of the undead will not start. , but it is no joke to cause a plague. Or letting them be bitten by wild beasts, thus attracting a tide of beasts, is not what I want to see. "
"How do you plan to deal with it?"
"Gather them together for cremation. Find a place to dig a pit, bury the ashes, and set up a mass grave."
At this time, Mendelsohn Heyman, who was standing behind the eldest princess and had been silent, spoke. "Your Highness, for those great nobles, if the bodies of those people can be sent back, it can at least alleviate the hatred of their families. Even if they don't get support, they don't dare to oppose too strongly. This is a good thing."
Hearing the voice of the old man he interacted with most often, Lin didn't wait for the eldest princess to reply. He tapped the ring on the third knuckle of his left middle finger and said, "I will gather people who seem to have status here." In the open space to the north. Your Highness will send people there to identify themselves and take away the people you need directly. I will gather the bodies of the remaining people to the west. After you have all taken care of them, I will take away the remaining people. Proceed with cremation.”
At the same time, the arcane eye on the top of the magic tower once again twitched in all directions, locating and identifying all the dead. This also caused Lin's clone to flash intermittently, but the voice was completely conveyed.
When the arcane eye is locked, re-fix the position to maintain Lin's three-dimensional imaging magic clone. The magic tower version improved from the Boka Mo Xiao Giant Palm Technique, forming six magic arms glowing with light blue light on the top of the Great Sage's Tower. He kept grabbing corpses from everywhere and quickly placed them in predetermined locations.
This sight once again frightened everyone alive. From the top of a stone tower, six arms appear, which can be freely changed in length or length. They look as weird as they are. Although it is just moving things now, what about using it for attack?
It was hard to say which one was more threatening, the previous scene of light bombs flying all over the sky, and the current scene of six huge arms grabbing things they saw. Because for humans in it, they will die at the first touch.
The Giant Palm Technique was derived from the Giant Fist Technique, and was originally a powerful magic used for short-range attacks. After the improvement of the great magician Boka Moxiao, the giant palm technique has more moves and changes, and can be regarded as an extension of the magician's arm to make some movements, but it is still essentially a type of attack magic. The magician used will not consume too much mana and power in maintaining a magic arm.
Most of the time when it is not used for attacking, it is like Lin used it before, to get something from a dangerous place. Or trigger some obvious traps instead of taking risks yourself.
No magician would deliberately use this magic to carry out some engineering construction. The project in the Lost World is still at the purely human stage. This is also because the apprentice-level Light Object Technique and Giant Strength Technique are too easy to use and can handle many constructions that ordinary people cannot perform, so there is no progress at all in the application of the tools.
But what does the energy pool of the Magic Tower do? With the support of semi-permanent unlimited energy, Lin realized a magic arm with functions such as a strange hand, a crane, and a gantry crane. And this first appearance was used to move corpses...
It's really frustrating to say that. However, Lin still said to the frightened people: "Everyone, please don't worry. It's just for moving things, it won't hurt anyone. Whether you are going back to the town or going to the north to meet people, please Take care of yourself. I'm leaving first."
"Tower Master, wait a moment, I have something to ask."
