Lin sat in front of the console in a daze. He wanted to let go of everything and not care about anything. Unfortunately, as the lord of this land, if he let it go, no one else would do it for him.
The two apprentices wanted to pull themselves together and deal with the mess outside, but they were still dismissed by Lin. He said to the two girls whose eyes were still red, "You two just need to take care of the things in the tower and focus on your studies. Leave the things outside to me. "
This time, Lin did not want to throw the responsibility on them. The situation outside was too miserable. Instead of leaving the matter to the two immature girls and then spending time on mental preparation, it was better to clean it up himself from the beginning. Anyway, this result was caused by him, so it was natural for him to clean up the aftermath.
But before that, he had to communicate with the group of people who were still alive outside the tower. He picked 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 Eye, which was looking at the Revival Army and the town's residents, immediately operated in the opposite direction. The function of absorbing the light spectrum was turned into a reflection of his clone.
Compared to the flawless projection in the tower, the image of the clone projected by the Arcane Eye was lighter and slightly transparent. It did not have the ability to cast spells. But the voice, expression, and movements could be faithfully presented. Lin cupped his hands and greeted, "Everyone."
The sudden appearance of the tower master frightened everyone. Amidst the stunned crowd, Mira Salian walked out and greeted, "Your Excellency, Tower Master."
"It can be said that you are all safe and sound. It can be said that it is the only blessing today."
"This is all thanks to your mercy." Mira Salian said with a sour tone, "But don't you think it is too much for you to go to this extent?"
With a bitter smile, Lin said awkwardly, "I did not start this. And once the spell is cast, I have no way to safely stop it. It is not what I want to see to have developed to this point. I can only say that it is very regrettable. "
On this point, Marco Lin did not lie. The improved version of the Light Bullet Attack Array, once the target was locked and the spell was cast, there were only two situations where it could be stopped: the target was completely destroyed, or the magic tower was destroyed. Lin had never thought that he would need the Ctrl + C interruption function.
Mira Salian didn't want to ask too much. On one hand, he didn't want to provoke the Tower Master too much. On the other hand, Marquis Neumann and the others had brought this upon themselves. She asked calmly, "In that case, what is the purpose of your avatar appearing in front of us?"
Only then did Lin carefully look at the valiant Princess Royal in front of him. Wearing a suitable heavy armor, he could still maintain his figure and agility. He would not be in a situation where his joints would be inconvenient because of the armor. The head of the chain tied to his waist was stained with blood. It was obvious that it wasn't just for show. In addition, there was a simple rune on the left side of his chest. It was not the coat of arms of a noble.
"Is that the mark of the Mysterious Lord?" Ever since Lin Ming had transmigrated to the Maze World, he had been dealing with runes. Naturally, he was also quite familiar with Mystery, one of the eight authorities, as well as the deities and related knowledge it belonged to.
"Yes. This was the mark of the Lord of Mystery, Klein. As for my other identity, I am the chief warrior of the temple of the mysterious church. "Although Mira Salian admitted her identity, she did not mention her nickname in the church. This was also the practice of the higher-ups of the Mysterious Church to prevent the enemies of the White Mist from coming to trouble them.
Lin Ming also knew the weight of the title of "Temple Warrior." It was the pinnacle of strength among the civil and military officials under the Theocracy. Moreover, the Mysterious Lord, Klein, was in charge of one of the eight authorities used by the sorcerers. Even if the sorcerers didn't believe in him, they would not be hostile to him. Therefore, the Mysterious Lord was at the forefront of the Theocracy in the Maze World.
Therefore, Lin Ming put aside some unnecessary worries and asked politely, "Then, Your Highness, does your church have a ritual to transcend the undead?"
"Transcend the undead?" Mira Salian didn't quite understand this term.
Lin Ming's understanding of the Theocracy Church was limited to what he had heard from rumors. He didn't know the details. In the past, when he was sick or injured, he looked for the solution from magic. He didn't have much contact with the Churches, so he didn't know the differences between the Churches. For a sorcerer, the services provided by each Church were similar, so it was difficult to distinguish between them.
As for transcending the undead, he applied his understanding of the knowledge from Earth to the Maze World. He didn't expect that there was no such thing in the Maze World, or that the Mysterious Church didn't have such a service.
Trying to explain it in a way that others could understand, Lin Ming explained, "It is to let the souls of the dead safely go to the underworld, or to the side of the god they believe in, and not to stay in the present world. You see, so many people have died in this battle. If it causes an undead calamity or something, it will be terrible. I don't want the place I live to be haunted all day. "
As if understanding Lin Ming's words, Mira Salian said, "I understand what you mean by transcending the undead. The Mysterious Lord doesn't have a related ritual. To deal with the undead, we have divine spells that directly destroy the spirit body. But Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this kind of problem. In my eyes, the souls of the dead are no longer here, so there won't be a problem with the undead. As for the reason, I don't know. But it doesn't seem like there are hidden dark sorcerers deliberately collecting the souls of the dead. There's no unpleasant stench in the air. "
"In other words, the dead here are just pieces of meat?"
"Pieces of meat? Yes, if Your Highness wants to describe it that way, they are indeed just pieces of meat. But without souls, the corpses will still be used by dark sorcerers … Hmm, okay, I'll correct myself. Dark sorcerers wouldn't bother to use the corpses here. "
In the magic of the undead system, whether it was to create sutured corpses, skeleton soldiers, or even higher-ranked undead knights and Lich, there was one thing in common: the corpses had to be intact to a certain extent. The most important part of the corpses was the spine. Everyone here was killed by Light Bullet magic. Their spine and sternum were also damaged. Dark sorcerers could only shake their heads when they saw this.
Since there was no possibility of ghosts, Lin Ming said with relief, "Your Highness, the people here are all nobles and soldiers of your kingdom."
"Yes, so?" Mira Salian raised an eyebrow. Was this the prelude to extortion?
"In that case, are there any deceased people of high status that you would like to send back to your family with the utmost courtesy? If there aren't, I'll deal with them according to my method. Otherwise, with so many dead people scattered around, it's not a joke that the Necromancer Calamity didn't cause a ruckus and instead caused a plague. Or let them be bitten by wild beasts and attract a beast tide. This is not something I want to see. "
"How do you plan to deal with them, Your Highness?"
"Gather them and cremate them. Then find a place to dig a hole and bury the ashes. Set up a mass grave. "
At this moment, Mendelson Heyman, who had been standing behind the Eldest Princess, spoke. "Your Highness, for those nobles, if we can send back the corpses of those people, it will at least lessen the hatred of their families. Even if they don't get support, they won't dare to oppose too strongly. This is a good thing. "
Hearing the old man speak, Lin Ming 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 those who seem to be of status to the empty space in the north. Your Highness will send someone there to identify them and take away those you need. As for the rest of the corpses, I will gather them to the west. Once you're all done, I'll cremate the rest. "
At the same time, the Arcane Eye at the top of the Magic Tower twitched in all directions again, locating and identifying all the dead. This also caused Lin Ming's doppelganger to flicker intermittently, but his voice was completely transmitted.
When the Arcane Eye finished locking on, it fixed its position and maintained Lin's three-dimensional doppelganger. The Magic Tower version modified from Bocamoso's Giant Palm Spell formed six magical arms glowing with a faint green light at the top of the Tower of the Great Sage. They continuously grabbed the corpses and quickly placed them in predetermined positions.
This scene once again frightened everyone who was still alive. Six arms appearing from the top of a stone tower, and they could change their length freely. It was as strange as it could get. Although they were only moving things now, what if they were used to attack?
It was hard to say which was more threatening, compared to the scene of light bullets flying in the sky before and the six giant arms grabbing everything in sight. Because to the humans in the middle of it, they would die with a touch.
The Giant Palm Spell was derived from the Giant Fist Spell. It was originally a powerful spell used for short-range attacks. After being modified by Bocamoso, the Giant Palm Spell had more variations and could be seen as an extension of the Mage's arm. But in essence, it was still a kind of attack spell. The Mage who used it wouldn't consume too much magic power and authority to maintain a magic arm.
Most of the time when it wasn't used to attack, it was used like how Lin used it before, fishing things from dangerous places. Or triggering some obvious traps, instead of personally taking the risk.
No Mage would deliberately use this spell to carry out some construction. The construction of the Maze World was still at the stage of pure manpower. This was also because the apprentice-level Lightweight Spell and Giant Strength Spell were too useful, enough to deal with many constructions that ordinary people couldn't do, so there was no progress in the use of tools at all.
But what did the Magic Tower's energy pool do? With the support of semi-permanent unlimited energy, Lin Ming realized magic arms with monster hands, cranes, gantry cranes, and other functions. And this first appearance was used to move corpses …
Speaking of which, it was really helpless. But Lin still said to the frightened crowd: "Everyone, please rest assured. It's just used to move things. It won't hurt anyone. And whether it's going back to the town or to the north, please do as you please. I'll take my leave first. "
"Tower Master, please wait a moment. I have something to ask."
