When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide
Chapter 379: The Road to Becoming King (2)
The reason why the Nazarick Cemetery was valued by the Marquis of Orin City was due to several large-scale disappearance cases.
In just two months, the population of several villages around Olin City suddenly disappeared.
At first, the Marquis thought that the members of the Order of Sloth could not control their morbid desire to enslave others and attacked the villagers without following the rules.
But when he summoned the Archbishop of Sloth of Olin City, he found that the original Archbishop of Sloth, the Waiter of Sloth, and the two official spokespersons, Lorant and Charles, had either died or disappeared.
The new Archbishop of Sloth had only recently arrived here and was investigating the cause of death and whereabouts of these high-ranking members of the cult. He had no energy to plunder the village.
Furthermore, if they plundered villages within the kingdom without permission, it would be a violation of the coexistence agreement between the kingdom and the church, and would result in punishment from the kingdom's council.
Therefore, the Order of Sloth is usually very honest in places where the kingdom is strong.
Only those villages that are located in remote areas and where the kingdom cannot collect taxes will be targeted by the cult.
After ruling out the suspicion of the Order of Sloth, the marquis realized that these large-scale disappearance cases might be a little unusual.
It took him more than a month to finally track down the whereabouts of the villagers.
In a secret cave hundreds of miles southeast of the city of Olin, a horrifying "human ranch" was established at some point. All the people there were given the insulting name of "two-legged sheep" and were forced to undergo all kinds of cruel, bloody and unethical experiments.
The dead would also be skinned and made into low-level magic scrolls.
A very powerful demon built that ranch.
After discovering that place, Marquis Olin suddenly burst into intense anger. He personally killed all the monsters in the ranch and wanted to rescue the humans inside.
But at the last moment, the devil showed up and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. However, the gap in strength between Marquis Olin and the opponent was too great, and he could not win even if he tried his best.
Marquis Olin found out that the demon had at least the strength of the top defending champion. He used special communication magic to pass the relevant information to a bishop of the Holy Governor Church in Olin City, and then disappeared.
The bishop had recently been investigating a cult organization called the Ainz Ooal Gown Sect in the city. After receiving the message from Marquis Orin, he put all the information together and keenly realized that the human ranch had an inseparable connection with this cult.
Just as the bishop was about to pass the information to the archbishop of the church and the kingdom's council, the city of Olin was suddenly surrounded by a skeleton army of about a thousand people. Each of the skeleton warriors inside had gold-level strength, and several terrifying beings arrived in the sky above Olin City.
For the bishop, that day was very long.
They activated the city's protective shield, mobilized the 10,000-man army stationed in Olin City, and also gathered the 3,000 guards responsible for maintaining public order to fight against the attack outside the city together.
However, among those beings with terrifying auras, there was a legendary combat force, and Olin City was captured after holding out for one day.
At the last moment, the missing Marquis of Olin City appeared with serious injuries and launched a sneak attack on the Skeleton King who commanded the skeleton army, but was killed in the blink of an eye.
Eventually, his head was hung on the top of the Holy Cross Cathedral.
The local Holy Archbishop also blew himself up in the battle and died a martyr. None of the 13,000 elite troops survived, and some were even transformed into undead creatures after death.
The dark force called "The Great Tomb of Nazarick" has officially appeared on the stage of this world.
......
After Li Shanren learned the horrifying news, he immediately recalled the cemetery ruins where he had ventured to in order to rescue Tifa.
He clearly remembered that there was a terrifyingly powerful Skeleton King inside, and the other party seemed to have appeared in the water motto and the future predicted by the golden apple.
The existence of the other party was one of the main reasons why Li Shanren decided to leave Olin City and come all the way to Byron Kingworth.
Unexpectedly, the other party really took action.
It had even been less than half a year since he left Olin City.
This also made Li Shanren feel a little scared. If he had not left, he and the people around him would probably have fallen into the hands of the other party.
Although this force called "Nazarick Great Tomb" has appeared so high-profile, Li Shanren has no plans to move again.
If the sky falls, there will always be someone taller to hold it up. The reason why the Kingdom of Jonia has been able to occupy a relatively favorable position in the continent for so many years is not because of its singing and dancing skills, but because of its strong fists and the reputation it has earned.
Given the long lifespans of the extraordinary people in this world, Li Shanren suspected that the founding monarch might even still be alive. Their kings of all generations were at least Saint Silver-level extraordinary people, and there were quite a few defending and even legendary-level extraordinary people among them.
If the kingdom is really pushed into a corner, who knows how many old monsters will emerge from their hiding places.
Even if we take a step back and say that even if the cemetery is really that powerful and killing a legend is as easy as killing a dog, there is still the Moon Goddess above our heads to protect us.
As a major place for the spread of faith, if the other party makes too much noise, it might lead to the fourth descent of the Moon God in the Kingdom of Jonia.
However, judging by the forces that the Kingdom has currently dispatched to fight the enemy, it is already giving face to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
After all, half of the forces have been deployed.
Li Shanren felt that the fire would not burn him, so he did not plan to get involved. After resting for a few days, he continued to explore the border area.
And one month after the destruction of Olin City, news of victory on the front line came.
However, this victory was a bit tragic. Almost all of the 300,000 troops of the kingdom were killed or wounded, leaving only more than 20,000 people.
Half of the twenty-four defending marquises died, and two-thirds of the holy silver marquises died. The legendary magician was beaten to the point where his body collapsed, and only his soul escaped.
At the last moment, Ludwig, the first knight of the church, prayed for the arrival of God, and then the power of the true God was poured into him. Ludwig immediately broke through the limitations of the legendary level and possessed the strength of a top demigod.
According to the battle report, Ludwig finally held a two-handed sword flowing with moonlight and personally killed most of the high-level enemies present, and severely injured Ainz Ooal Gown, who called himself the "Magic King".
Unfortunately, when the Magic King was about to deliver the final blow, he was rescued by a mysterious being, whose unleashed strength was no weaker than that of a top demigod.
Ludwig collided with the mysterious being, and the aftermath alone flattened the land within a thousand miles.
If they had not chosen a deserted place to fight, there would probably be unpredictable casualties.
Afterwards, Ludwig also went to check the location of the large cemetery.
But when he arrived, the cemetery had disappeared, leaving only a bottomless pit in its place.
After learning the outcome of the war, Li Shanren was also extremely surprised at the strength of the Great Cemetery. He did not expect that they would actually cause the kingdom to suffer a great loss.
After this battle, the kingdom probably no longer wanted to carry out its original plan to invade the Caesar Republic in the north.
The peace agreement that was originally signed to cover up the truth can only become a reality.
......
During the month that the Kingdom was at war with the Nazarick Necropolis, Li Shanren also completed the exploration of the entire Yatan Plateau, including the western volcanic area.
He successfully defeated the fifth demigod who lived in the Volcano Mansion - Grand Justice Lakkad, who was swallowed and fused by the blasphemous giant serpent, and obtained the fifth fragment of the Great Rune from him.
The power of this great rune was also affected by the fallen Grand Inquisitor Lacard. Its original power of grace was only to grab a certain amount of vitality from the enemy to restore itself when killing the enemy.
After being completely mastered by Li Shanren, the power of this Great Rune was revealed. Its original law was unknown, but after being desecrated by Lacard, it became "devouring".
Li Shanren can gain the power of any object, even life, by devouring it.
This is fundamentally different from Greg Greatrune's "Law of Fusion", which is an extremely aggressive and predatory ability.
However, Li Shanren found a new use for this ability.
He can quickly acquire knowledge and improve his magical proficiency by devouring books and objects containing magical power.
Therefore, he began to collect magical items and books in the border areas, and consumed them in large quantities on a regular basis.
Since swallowing requires digestion, Li Shanren did not choose to overeat, otherwise he might lose his mind like Lacard, and only care about the consequences of swallowing.
But this ability also allowed Li Shanren to rapidly improve his attainments in various magic and combat. By devouring a large number of gravity magic stones, he comprehended the mystery of gravity magic at an extremely fast speed. He was no longer bound by the routine casting of ordinary gravity magic, but could exert the power of gravity at will.
He copied this method in other types of magic such as pyroxene magic and full moon magic. In time, he would become the most knowledgeable magic master in the border area.
Fortunately, his intelligence attribute has been maxed out to 99, otherwise even with the "devouring" ability, he would not be able to master so much knowledge in a short period of time and would only be overwhelmed by the knowledge.
It was through this experience that Li Shanren suddenly realized some things about Lakkad.
Rumor has it that Lakkad was accidentally swallowed by the blasphemous giant snake and eventually fell into corruption.
But the actual situation may be that Lakkad was swallowed up voluntarily, and the reason may also be the power of this big rune.
The original power of this Great Rune may be similar to "devour". Although Lakkad is a demigod, he cannot use the power of the Great Rune to devour madly and unlimitedly. He will always need to digest it, and there will always be a limit.
Is it possible that Lakkad chose to be swallowed by the Blasphemous Serpent in order to break through this limit?
After all, in the end, Lakkad's consciousness successfully took over the body of the Blasphemous Serpent, and he truly became that snake.
The size of the Blasphemous Serpent is quite terrifying, and its "digestive" ability must be quite strong, so it can maximize the devouring power of the Great Rune.
When Li Shanren found this fallen demigod, the other party also showed a strong desire to devour.
With Lacarde as a precedent, Li Shanren decided to use the devouring law of this Great Rune with caution, lest one day he would develop an irrepressible desire to devour.
In addition to obtaining the fifth Great Rune, Li Shanren also used the law of fusion to create a new staff for himself. The staff was a fusion of the Meteorite Staff, the Kalia Scepter, the Azrael Magic Staff and the Lusert Magic Staff, four top-notch magic staffs at the intersection of the world.
An unprecedentedly powerful staff was created. According to the system interface, the staff's magical intelligence enhancement has reached the SS+ level.
Li Shanren simply named the new staff "Lishen's Magic Staff", a very hasty name.
However, when the name "Lisern" spreads throughout the continent, this staff will also become part of the legend.
When Li Shanren was planning to continue staying in his own manor and growing slowly, Ludwig suddenly came to visit him.
