Chapter 433 King Linde
"Sorry, I'm not very interested in the rest of the story."
Linde started to interrupt the spell.
You don't need to listen to him to know what kind of story will happen next. It's nothing more than a powerful overlord losing his power for some reason, and then someone takes his place to become the new overlord.
The high priest chose to stay in the beast sacrificial site out of loyalty, hoping that one day he could regain his former glory.
Considering that "echoes" can be directly nurtured in the [Fox Heart], the answer should be not much different from Lind's guess. As long as the echoes are collected, the beast master should wake up, or some kind of intense crisis will erupt.
He had not read the script and did not know how the future would develop, but the sense of déjà vu of this scene was so strong that it did not feel out of place to apply it to Queen Rania.
There is no problem even applying it to Melanie.
But this does not mean that the Beast Sacrifice is the "protagonist". On the contrary, without Lind's intervention, Rania's ending is to marry Lord Baya. In the future, she may be forced to drink magic potion and transform into a Dragon King directly because of her intersection with the undead.
If it weren't for Lind, Melulan would only live underground as the Queen of Limb Removal, waiting to be conquered by the undead one day.
Just like applying the formula, if there is no Lind, there is a high probability that the beast girl Solaris will become one of the wild monster bosses in the local area in the future.
Solaris's tail, which was shaking faster and faster and almost turned into a helicopter propeller, suddenly stopped and looked at Lind in astonishment.
This time Lind understood her expression. When confused, the dog's face and the human's face are the same.
Lind raised his hand and fanned the dust that flew in front of his face, making his nose itchy. "I suddenly feel that surrendering to the King of Corruption is also a good choice. I heard that he likes humans very much. Even if he likes fencing, I can just throw a few undeads as a gift. The King of Corruption should not refuse."
Zero cost, and you will no longer be opponents with the "protagonists" in the future. You can be completely whitewashed and worry-free. The only disadvantage is that you no longer have the right to speak, and it is very likely that you will pass the NPC baton to the King of Corruption, and you may also be recruited by the "officials".
Rather than being under the "official" control of the undead, Lind prefers to be loyal to a certain god.
"You can't do this." Solaris' ears drooped limply, accompanied by the puppy's whimpering.
If an undead saw this scene, he would definitely scream in excitement. However, Lind was not interested in Solaris's reaction at all. Anyone who knew him knew that his favorite animal was rabbit.
Now the situation has completely changed. Both parties are no longer placed on an equal footing. Regardless of whether Beast Girl's fundamental goal is to revive the former Beast Master, she needs Lind and the undead, but Lind has more options.
Solaris was aware of this as well, and she let her tail hang down.
However, the possibility of the other party acting cannot be ruled out.
"Before we talk about whether to continue the cooperation, should we honor the previous deal?" Lind said.
The undead brought the echo, while the beast girl gave the title and the power of blessing.
A known title is like usury. Once obtained, all power will be taken away with interest, so his attention shifted to blessings.
Lind really wanted to see what the Beast's Blessing could bring, but he didn't dare to try it himself. The best way was to find a tool.
……
The undead Vortex, who was strolling in the beast sacrificial field hoping to complete some tasks, sounded a little depressed.
Life in the real world is too hard, and many people think it’s great to wear a helmet to sleep to extend their lifespan, but what if a person can’t sleep for a few hours because of work?
There is no chance to be a cyber bull or a horse.
After finally getting online, Uzumaki found that he was one step behind everyone else. Everyone had gone out to brush "Echoes" and no one wanted to play with him.
Uzumaki could only think of ways to complete some odd tasks.
Improve NPC favorability and help with cleaning. However, the beastmen in the beast sacrificial field see the undead as if they see their natural enemies, and the big guys tremble in fear.
"You! Soldier! Come here!" A voice suddenly came from above.
"Ah? Me?" Uzumaki looked up and found that the owner of the voice was Linde. His eyes suddenly lit up.
The beastman, who had just been forcibly helped across the road three times, was ruthlessly abandoned.
He trotted over to Linde, his eyes sparkling, "Sir, are you looking for me?"
"I have a task for you." Lind nodded. It didn't matter who the tool was, as long as someone who was not afraid of death came over.
"What mission?"
"Let the high priest bless your body with the beast."
"what?!"
Why does this task sound so cool, giving rewards directly?
Uzumaki said with a snotty tone in his mouth: "Sir, why don't you give me some tasks? I feel a little uneasy with the reward."
"You still have such a request?" Lind was surprised. "Then test the blessing of the beast and I'll give you 100 military merits and 500 beast fangs."
He had never heard of such a request.
"I do!" Uzumaki said so willingly.
No wonder what I said just now was incomplete, it turned out to be a test function. Indeed, with Lind's action characteristics, every time he occupies an area, he will definitely convert the abilities of the NPCs in the area into his own strength.
Linde, you still say that you are not the official's biological son!
"This..." The beast girl Solaris's face looked strange.
He was the one who gave the blessing to the beast, but the undead were very grateful to Lind, and were not happy with the free gift, and insisted on paying for the offering.
There are such devout people in the world.
The Beast's Blessing begins, and then... the body in the Uzumaki's mouth explodes.
The ashes drifted away in the wind caused by the beast girl's restless tail swinging.
Lind's eyes suddenly became dangerous when he looked at Solaris. If he had been the one to accept the beast's blessing in the first place, would he have exploded?
"His body is too weak." Solaris explained immediately. She sensed the danger in Lind's eyes.
This reason was obviously untenable, so Lind did not overturn the table immediately. Ur-Beast was not easy to deal with, but that did not stop him from using some tough tactics.
Beast Girl is a little dishonest.
Soon the vortex came trotting back in its mouth.
"Sir! Can I choose again?" The words from Uzumaki's mouth left Lind confused.
It doesn't look like he was plotted to death. Could it be that... the undead can also do some tricks when receiving blessings?
The Beast Girl was even more shocked when she saw his expression. According to the information she had heard, every time an undead person died, they would suffer great pain. Looking at the expression in Uzumaki's mouth, she knew that his death just now must have been very painful. But even so, he actually chose to do it again.
Lind Almann, this man's subordinates are so loyal!
"What happened just now?" Linde asked, "Tell me exactly what happened."
"I understand!" Uzumaki nodded.
There are definitely some issues with the beta function of Blessing that have not been resolved, and you need to actively provide feedback.
So reasonable!
And it has also been organized into game content.
"Well, I was just blessed and chosen by the beast, and then reminded me:"
"[You have been blessed by the Lord of Beasts. You have a 100% chance of obtaining a temporary attribute enhancement (death disappearance). Do you accept it?]"
“I chose [Accept]”
"Then the system reminded me: [Your overall attributes +5%, do you want to opt out of the blessing?]"
"How can I not quit? Then I will keep accepting it! No, I will never quit! So I chose [No]."
"Then he reminded me: [You have been blessed by the Lord of Beasts. You have been irrigated with knowledge. You have an 80% chance of obtaining a temporary magical attribute enhancement (death disappearance). Do you accept it?]"
"I'll choose [Accept] this time."
"[Your magic damage +10%, do you want to quit the blessing?]" "Haha, it's already like this, only a fool would quit! I will definitely choose [No]."
"[You have been blessed by the Lord of Beasts. You have heard the Lord of Beasts' snoring. You have a 60% chance of gaining a temporary additional skill (disappearance upon death). Do you accept?]"
"I chose [Accept] this time."
"You're dead."
Uzumaki said to Lind in his mouth, "That's it. It shouldn't be my fault that the adult game crashed, right? Can I get my money back?"
Linde glanced at him coldly, and Uzumaki immediately shut up.
Got it, there is no refund.
The beast girl didn't understand what the gibberish from Uzumaki meant, but she understood one thing: "Are you greedily asking for more from the master?"
"Ah? Is it not possible?" Uzumaki asked puzzledly.
Since there is a probability, it all depends on luck. I am just unlucky, but maybe there is a lucky guy who can bless me until 0%.
Thinking of this, Uzumaki rubbed his hands and said, "Sir, let me choose again. This time I will definitely choose carefully! Just choose once!"
I am the only one who got the chance to test the blessing function, how could I get nothing?
Lind nodded: "Okay!"
He didn't research it thoroughly either.
"Hahaha, thank you, sir!"
Uzumaki looked at the Beast Girl and said, "Let's get started, High Priestess Sister."
What a mess of names!
Lind glanced into Uzumaki's mouth, luckily he was used to the unreliability of the undead.
The Beast Girl didn't care about the undead's nonsense. She looked at Lind with fear. No matter how he exploited their people, they would have no complaints. Such a force was too dangerous as an enemy.
The next moment, the vortex that had just been blessed exploded into a ball of ash in its mouth.
Why is there still a problem?
Uzumaki trotted back, "Sir, can I do it again? I was too greedy just now."
Lind: ...
silence.
How could he trust a gambler? He would never stop until he got good attributes and died.
Beast Girl: So loyal.
Linde raised his hand to drive away the vortex. Seeing that the other party was dejected, he said, "Keep searching for the echo. There will be another chance to bless you in the future."
"I understand!" Uzumaki nodded regretfully.
When some of the undead who had returned one after another discovered that Uzumaki had actually gotten a chance to open the "Blessing Function Internal Test", they rushed over one by one with red eyes.
Especially knowing that Uzumaki had obtained the inside qualification but got nothing, people were so angry that they couldn't help but call him a gambler.
As Lind was still having a plot dialogue here, the undead chose to fight within the system.
Lind looked at the Beast Girl again. He already understood what the Beast's blessing was.
To summarize briefly, you gain temporary enhancement and disappear upon death.
Except for the undead, there is no such thing as "temporary" for other races. The blessing power disappears after death, which is more like a more advanced way of playing in which the power of "title" is taken back.
Blessings are like opening a box. You can gain attribute enhancements, or you may directly gain magic skills, etc., which gives the game countless possibilities.
All this power comes from the knowledge irrigation of the "Master".
Compared to those little prize pool gadgets that Lind had done before, this one has the characteristic of being impossible to copy and replicate.
Lind’s first reaction was that this was a good way to make money!
Just like strengthening weapons, you can obtain various blessings, and there is a probability of failure. If you want good blessings as an immortal, you have to gamble.
The immortals, who are all gamblers, will definitely not give up such a good opportunity to enhance their strength.
From the perspective of reaping profits, "blessing" is indeed better than a "title" that can be held forever without time limit.
In his eyes, the Beast Girl had changed.
"I can continue to help you collect feedback." Lind said.
"What do you want?" Beast Girl asked back.
The undead people also looked over.
The plot has reached a critical point.
"I want you!" Linde pointed at her.
The beast girl's tail began to swing wildly, raising dust, and she was a little panicked: "We are different races, it is impossible for us to be together. I have given everything I have to the master. Even if I give birth to a child, you have to bring it up..."
Undead: "Fuck, so you are this kind of Linde!"
Then he looked at the Beast Girl and said, "You think long-term."
Linde's face darkened: "I mean, I want you to work for me."
"Working for you?" The wagging tail quieted down.
Lind nodded: "Let's talk about titles. As far as I know, the beastmen under different beast kings seem to have different titles?"
"That's right." Beast Girl nodded.
"Can I become a beast king, like King Linde?"
……
Lionheart Castle, located in the Beast's Lair.
When the black blood passed through the ground that seemed to have been washed by heavy rain, leaving only densely packed holes that kept breathing, it finally returned to this huge territory.
Blackblood is quite famous in the Beast's Lair.
"Heixue, where are your people? Are they all dead? Hahaha!" Someone was joking, but found that Heixue suddenly turned his head and stared at him with vicious eyes.
My heart suddenly tightened.
Oh my god, this couldn’t really be true!
The black blood with the name "Abyss" is quite famous.
"Hmph!" Heixue continued to walk forward with a gloomy long-haired beast face that no one else could see how gloomy it was. Soon he saw black armor that was different from that of ordinary soldiers, and a skull helmet that was almost embedded in his face.
A warrior from the Chancellor Wolfgang Longhorn's army, he holds a long-handled scepter in his hand. The skull-shaped scepter, which looks like a clenched beast's claw, is a bit chilly.
The black-armored officer stood in front. Ordinary beastmen were not allowed to pass through the road behind the black-armored officer. That was the road leading to Lionheart Castle, and only high-level beastmen could pass that road.
"I'm Blackblood!" He raised his voice to attract the other party's attention, "I brought back important news!"
