Chapter 250 Lich
“As expected, reason always outweighs preference at times like these…”
The black-haired young girl lay lazily on the giant bone throne, looking unhappily at the selection panel that had turned into a pinpoint of light in mid-air and the gathering black energy cluster not far away, sighing.
Actually, given Kazumi’s increasingly strange XP, her first impression would definitely be to choose the fleshy Abomination.
Perhaps because the current troops were all flesh-and-blood undead, she had a good impression of the flesh-and-blood Abomination as well.
However, unless she was by her dog’s side, the cold emotion in Kazumi’s heart would always dispel the girl’s remaining personal emotions, turning them into an analysis of her actions based solely on the basic gains and losses of things.
And with that, the choice this time became a very simple matter. The basic initial Governor was a classic Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence beginner option.
After all, it was originally the lowest level Governor that came with the panel’s activation, so all aspects of its attributes were very average. The real former attribute was that of the Governor itself.
In the game, the Governor was a section unlocked in the mid-game. Besides bringing unique attribute bonuses to the territory, it was also to relieve players from heavy territorial affairs. Otherwise, if the territory grew to a certain scale, the Lord would still do everything himself, which would be exhausting in both games and reality.
Although Kazumi was quite curious why such a thing was given to her at the very early stage when she had nothing, it was still an enhancement to her current strength. Moreover, for future territorial construction, her half-baked skills would definitely not compare to professionals.
In this case, the girl’s choice was not difficult to guess. Among the tank-like warrior, agile assassin, and intelligent mage, there would only be one option.
Mages are invincible!!!
Just like the noble mages in various games, they were like designer’s own children. In reality, such a gap would only become more insurmountable.
Putting aside the territorial skills of the three Governors, although in the settings, each Governor had the qualifications to hold this position and was enough to support the construction of a small territory.
However, the bloody slaughterhouse created by the flesh butcher and the Lich’s ice magic fortress were too different in prestige!!
Not to mention that in the endless years of the undead, the former might have spent half of their time daydreaming and eating, while the latter would take their spellbook to meticulously study things they were interested in.
This was also why Kazumi would inevitably choose this Lich named [Lei]. If we consider their original background settings in reality, choosing a Lich with wisdom would definitely bring more additional benefits than the other two, even if the other party could not master any powerful spells due to their rank.
Being able to become a master of magic had already screened out a large portion of people. Just their IQ would definitely be higher than the other two, not to mention the experience gained over long years.
In terms of capabilities, at first glance, [Ice Sky Curtain] also seemed quite good, but upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit redundant.
The +1 Frost check within the territory range was not a problem. It could have a considerable impact on flesh-and-blood creatures, while undead creatures were basically not affected by temperature changes. It could be said to be a very good defensive talent.
Moreover, in the long run, there was also a chance to bestow the creatures with ice-element attack talents, and even to cultivate special troops like unique ice phantoms in places where living beings died.
It sounded good in all aspects, and the panel was also mediocre, on par with the other two abilities.
But the problem was that Kazumi still hadn’t found any way to connect to the territory other than the coffin!! If others couldn’t get in, this ability was equivalent to nothing. Normally, an opponent wouldn’t be foolish enough to rush into a controlled object that clearly indicated danger, right?!
However, it was also good that they were all pretty bad. Otherwise, Kazumi would really have to seriously consider who to choose.
The Abomination’s [Delicious Meat Chunks] were “delicious meat chunks” that randomly spawned within the territory and could accelerate the power of flesh-and-blood creatures. In general, eating them could increase the negligible accumulation of power. Moreover, Little Black, as the main fighting force, had already been promoted to elite level. Relying on eating these things to improve was endless. Corpse Crows could eat, but Corpse Crows clearly focused on quantity. The increase in individual power was of no use. If there was a choice, Kazumi would rather choose a general talent like [Increased Death Aura Concentration], a versatile ability.
As for [Bone Surgery], it was a more fun ability, but it was only fun. And the scope of change was not as large as imagined. Don’t think about Frost Bone Dragons or anything like that. At most, it would give a few extra arms to skeleton soldiers.
It might have special uses in special circumstances, but the improvement in abilities was very little, and it mostly increased the breadth of abilities. Not to mention that there were no bone-type troops in the girl’s territory right now.
Emmmm. [Imperial Guard] should not belong to the modifiable range.
Scratching her head somewhat relaxedly, Kazumi looked at the gradually condensing black energy mass before her, straightening up slightly. After all, she wanted to appear a bit more dignified in front of her future subordinates.
Although this cold and cute loli appearance could never be dignified.
The energy mass opened bit by bit, finally converging into a dark blue teleportation gate. A cold aura spread from the other end of the gate. The Hall of the previously windless graveyard was stirred up by several bone-chilling icy winds, as if the entire world had been frozen.
Then, a slender black shadow slowly emerged from the teleportation gate. The tattered but dark blue rune-covered robe, the long and pale bone arms, the surrounding ice elements, and the skull eyes representing death, with a pale blue soul fire burning within.
The solemn and decaying Lich slowly floated to the front of the grand bone throne. The pale blue soul fire in its eyes surged and flickered, then quickly calmed down.
The energy fluctuations on its body instantly disappeared, and it landed on the ground, quietly looking at Kazumi on the throne for two moments. It crossed its arms in front of its chest, bowed its head, and a deep, hoarse ancient tone emanated from the rotting jawbone.
“Kould Lei, I offer my highest loyalty to the Lord.”
(Ps: I’ll briefly explain the reason for the delay and give a kowtow to the readers who have always supported me. Actually, old fans should know that Yugan has been preparing for civil servant exams. It’s been a year. Last year, I missed the interview by one person in the provincial exam, and then the national exam went poorly, so I’m looking at this year’s provincial exam. Studying full-time is quite anxious, and the sunk cost is quite high. Moreover, Yugan is the kind of person who doesn’t want to accept failure. Anyway, I’ve been living in a daze, feeling like I can’t do anything well.)
(I’m truly sorry everyone. It’s very uncomfortable to see催更 every day, but I still have to live. If I don’t have a job, it’s a bit of putting the cart before the horse. Sigh, writing novels also requires a long period of suppression that greatly affects my state, and in the end, I can’t do either side well. I feel that what I can guarantee now is only not abandoning the manuscript. As for the update time, I can’t even determine it myself. My life status is very poor, and the pressure from various things intertwined is really quite big.)
(I just hope all my efforts will pay off. I love you all!)
