Chapter 159: Mysterious Castle!

The conditions for mixing an advanced potion like Plague of the Undead are quite harsh.

There are two prerequisites that must be met.

That is to be proficient in both necromancy and alchemy at the same time, and the level cannot be too low.

If any one of these factors is missing, it would be impossible to concoct a true Undead Plague potion.

Such people are extremely rare even in the world of dark magic.

After all, both necromancy and alchemy require a lot of energy to study.

Not to mention being proficient in both at the same time.

Rhodes looked at the pair of fanatical eyes with rationality.

Obviously, this guy is not an infected person with the Undead Plague.

But the creator of this plague.

Don't worry about what this guy's purpose is, just catch him first.

After all, it would be too dangerous to leave such a dangerous guy outside.

The power of flames!

Rhodes stretched out his hand and shook it without hesitation.

In an instant, a ball of blazing flame formed in his hands.

It transformed into a huge flaming palm, carrying scorching heat and destructive power, and grabbed the opponent swiftly.

What Rhodes didn't expect was that the alchemist was completely unharmed after suffering such a powerful fire attack.

Not only that, he seemed to be completely enraged by the attack. Suddenly, a thick green poisonous gas emanated from his body and spread wildly like a surging tide.

The flowers and plants on the ground quickly withered and died the moment they came into contact with the poisonous gas.

In the blink of an eye, an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius was tightly covered by the green poisonous gas, forming a horrifying death zone.

Rhodes was proficient in alchemy and could roughly identify the composition of the poisonous gas at a glance.

The poisonous fog contains hundreds of different alchemical poisons, some of which are as toxic as the Undead Plague.

Rhodes cast a dispelling spell, trying to disperse the poisonous fog.

But the poisonous fog did not move at all and continued to sweep towards him at an alarming speed.

In an instant, Rhodes was completely enveloped.

A pungent smell rushed into Rhodes' nose, and he suddenly felt dizzy. The strong poison began to erode his body and consciousness.

The next second, a powerful vitality burst out from Rhodes' body.

In an instant, all the poisonous fog that invaded the body was completely swallowed up.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the fat figure in the center of the poisonous fog.

He has merged with the Tree of Life, and with his vitality, basically no alchemical poison will have any effect on him.

However, this poison gas did allow him to discover the alchemist's secret.

The reason why this guy has such a strange image is that he uses his body as a carrier of alchemical poison.

He constantly injected various alchemical poisons into himself, and then let these poisons gradually dissolve into his bones and blood.

Because of the integration of too many alchemical poisons, this guy's physique has undergone such a drastic change.

Not only did his body become abnormally strong, but his body fluids also turned into the most toxic poison in the world.

This kind of guy, in ancient times, was also called a poison sorcerer.

It is a weapon of war specially developed by some crazy alchemists.

The cultivation of a poison sorcerer requires a large amount of rare resources, and their lifespan is extremely short, often only twenty years.

However, once they are deployed on the battlefield, they can easily wipe out a legion of thousands of people.

Moreover, the pollution caused by their death will make the land within a radius of dozens of miles barren and no living creature can survive.

Because it is too notorious, like the Undead Plague, its production and research are strictly prohibited.

If it was just a poison warlock, he wouldn't be so surprised.

However, he found it a little hard to understand why an alchemist used his own body as a culture vessel to transform himself into a poisonous sorcerer.

After all, who but a lunatic would do such a thing.

The alchemist's body, having been corroded by a large amount of alchemical poisons for a long time, has become extremely resistant to magical and physical damage.

Ordinary magic attacks on him were like a stone sinking into the ocean, without causing any ripples.

Physical attacks are like an ant trying to shake a tree and are unlikely to cause effective damage.

"It's a bit troublesome."

Rhodes frowned, and Chaos Blades instantly appeared in his hands. The two chain blades flashed with cold light, and as he swung his arms, they attacked the alchemist like a storm.

Although this fierce attack left deep scars on the opponent and severely damaged his body, those wounds healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The flames that burn the soul burned on the alchemist's body, but could not cause any effective damage.

The pain caused by the burning spirit completely infuriated this guy.

The fat alchemist opened his mouth and spat out a large ball of sticky mucus, trying to attack Rhodes.

Rhodes dodged the disgusting attack with a swift move.

The slime fell on the ground, instantly corroding a huge deep pit in the ground.

A fusion of hundreds of highly toxic alchemical poisons, this guy is simply a mobile biological weapon. Even a hair or saliva on his body can kill a person instantly.

Rhodes frowned tightly, thinking secretly in his heart.

Although this guy's attack method was simple, his defense and vitality were ridiculously strong, and he really had no way to deal with him for the time being.

There are only two ways to deal with this guy now.

Or, slowly grind it to death.

Or, fight poison with poison.

The reason why venom sorcerers are so powerful is that they contain a variety of alchemical poisons in their bodies.

These poisons, if present alone, will cause a person to die instantly.

However, after being processed with special means, the fusion will produce a kind of alchemical reaction.

However, this balance is quite fragile.

If a targeted alchemical potion is formulated, the balance of alchemical poison in the venom warlock's body can be easily destroyed.

Hundreds of alchemical poisons were raging at the same time. This guy would die on the spot without him having to do anything.

However, such a good material is quite suitable for refining his third alchemy apostle.

It seems a bit of a pity to destroy it like this.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Rhodes' mind, and he thought of the power of death he had just obtained.

"Magic power can't deal with this guy, but it can't be that even divine power can stop him, right?"

Give it a try. It will only waste a little bit of your divine power.

Although the divine power will be consumed, it will slowly recover.

Thinking of this, the Chaos Blade in Rhodes' hand began to change, gradually transforming into the shape of the Grim Reaper's scythe.

At the same time, white wings suddenly appeared behind him, and a powerful aura spread.

Rhodes' figure disappeared in an instant, and the next moment he appeared in front of the alchemist like a ghost.

The Grim Reaper's scythe in his hand was swung out suddenly, and a powerful force of death was added to it.

In an instant, the sickle passed through the alchemist's body without any hindrance.

The alchemist who was still struggling to resist suddenly froze and lost the ability to move in an instant.

The breath of life on his body quickly dissipated, and a strong smell of death began to spread.

Rhodes stared at the Grim Reaper's scythe in his hand, and saw a living soul hanging on the scythe.

The soul's face was distorted, and the pain that penetrated its body made its face full of agony.

Rhodes took a look at the struggling soul on the sickle, and without any hesitation, he cast sealing magic to seal the soul.

He planned to transform the alchemist's body and soul into the third apostle.

However, although he now has the materials and soul, he still lacks the most crucial soul crystal.

The two soul crystals he had obtained before came from the treasure house of the tinderbox.

And in that last treasure house, there should be a soul crystal, which is the core of the alchemy guard of the third treasure house.

With his current strength, he can try to obtain the third soul crystal.

Moreover, you can also obtain the last inheritance by the way.

In the first two inheritances, he obtained two powerful magical treasures, the Sigh of the Dead and the Armor of Immortality.

I wonder if this last treasure trove will bring him a surprise.

Rhodes put the soulless body of the poisonous sorcerer and the sealed soul into his personal space.

With these two key items, as long as he can successfully obtain the third soul crystal, he will be able to successfully refine the third alchemical apostle.

After solving the source of the undead plague, Rhodes turned around and returned to the village.

When the Apostle of Death saw Rhodes returning, he immediately came to greet him.

"Father."

"I have something I need you to do."

Rhodes looked at the Apostle of Death and explained his purpose directly.

His purpose this time was to take the Apostle of Death away and go to the Kingdom of Alman.

The Kingdom of Alman is about to face an attack from the Kingdom of Chrishou.

Although with his current strength, it is not a problem for him to resolve this war alone.

However, in his eyes, the soldiers of the Chris Kingdom are precious resources.

As long as the Apostle of Death can kill these soldiers, all the killed soldiers will be transformed into members of the evil spirit army.

How could he let go of such a great opportunity to expand the size of the evil spirit army?

What a shame to waste it.

Moreover, repelling the attack of the Chrishou Kingdom was also a fulfillment of his promise to King Alman.

He had cultivated Ero inside and out, and could be considered half-son-in-law to Count Alman.

Of course, they couldn't just sit back and watch Ailuo's country being destroyed by the Kingdom of Chris.

What's more, in his heart, he had long regarded the Kingdom of Alman as his own.

As long as Count Alman dies, Aylor will be the first heir to the Alman Kingdom.

Isn't the entire Alman Kingdom his back garden?

Rhodes set about preparing an antidote to the undead plague. He was the inheritor of the black magic ancestor's legacy and had master-level attainments in both undead magic and alchemy.

Since he was able to successfully concoct a magical potion like the Plague of the Undead, it would naturally be a piece of cake for him to concoct an antidote.

After preparing all the necessary materials and taking some samples, he directly mixed the antidote for the undead plague.

After preparing the antidote, Rhodes spread it directly to the source of the plague in several villages.

All remaining undead plague was quickly cleared out.

Although the Plague of Undead is terrifying, as an alchemical poison that combines magic and alchemy, it will be gradually diluted by the power of nature over time.

As long as it fails to spread on a large scale, it will dissolve itself in a short time.

After resolving all the problems and making sure there were no omissions, Rhodes returned to his territory with the Apostle of Death.

"Don't move around here."

With one command, Luo spread his wings and flew into the sky.

He took out the Sky Island from his personal space and placed it above the territory.

Located several thousand meters above the sky.

The next step is to find a suitable castle, and then build a space teleportation array between the sky island and the ground to connect them.

The Sky Island is extremely large and the environment is suitable for human survival.

After his previous cleanup, there were no longer any creatures on the island that could threaten humans.

Next, you just need to continue to purchase and collect people from the surrounding noble territories and transport them to the Sky Island.

According to Rhodes's prediction, in a dozen years or so, he would be able to successfully build a sky kingdom with a population of one million.

Of course, this speed is still too slow.

The fastest way, of course, is war.

No matter in what era, war is always the fastest shortcut to development.

He has an army of evil spirits, so as long as he keeps snowballing, it won't be a problem for him to swallow up the surrounding nobles.

However, if they do so, they will easily be targeted by the Holy See and the Empire.

Although we don't know how powerful the Holy See is, it can make the emperor of the Southern Shinra Empire obey it willingly.

The strength of the Holy See is at least not too bad.

Maybe there is some powerful hidden card.

To be on the safe side, it's better to develop it first.

Even if we really start a war, we have to find a suitable reason.

"Now, let's find a suitable castle first."

Rod stroked his chin. As a baron, it would be embarrassing to tell others that he didn't even have his own castle.

You can't ask him to move the castle down from the Sky Island.

Although the Giant King's castle is also considered a castle.

However, that scale of 220 is indeed a bit exaggerated.

However, finding a suitable castle is not an easy task.

"Use divination magic to find out."

Rhodes muttered quietly.

Divination magic is the most mysterious kind of magic, and may even be related to the legendary fate.

Powerful divination magic that can even predict what will happen in the future.

However, to be able to do this, one must at least be a very powerful wizard.

It is not enough to have powerful magic power, one must also have a very high talent in divination magic to be able to glimpse the signs of the change of fate.

Although he was not a powerful divination wizard, he had no problem doing a simple divination of an ordinary castle.

Now that we have decided to use magic to divination the castle, we need a medium to perform divination magic.

Generally speaking, this magical medium is usually a prop that contains magical power.

For example, something like a crystal ball.

He just had something similar in him.

Find a quiet room where you won't be disturbed, close the door gently, and make sure you won't be disturbed by others.

Rhodes took out a crystal ball from his personal space and placed it steadily on the table in front of him.

Take a deep breath, concentrate, and begin to mobilize the magic power in your body.

As magic power poured into the crystal ball like a gurgling stream, the originally dim crystal ball gradually emitted a soft and mysterious light.

A clear picture began to emerge in the light.

It was a castle that seemed to have come out of an ancient legend.

The castle looks grand and spectacular, with walls covered with winding vines. The walls, made of huge stones, are damaged in some places, revealing its vicissitudes and desolation.

The castle gate was closed and the iron lock on the door was rusty.

The surrounding gardens were overgrown with weeds, and the once beautiful flowers had long since withered, leaving only a wasteland.

Rhodes carefully observed every detail of the castle, imprinting it deeply in his mind.

After a moment, the gradually clear image on the crystal ball suddenly seemed to be affected by an unknown force, causing countless waves.

Swish!

The picture disappeared and the divination magic was forced to be interrupted.

"strangeness!"

Rhodes frowned. Although his divination magic was mediocre, it shouldn't be interrupted inexplicably.

Unless, there is power from other wizards that affects his divination magic.

Although the divination magic was forced to be interrupted, Rhodes also roughly determined the location of the castle, which was just a few dozen kilometers to the west.

I looked out the window. The sky was dark and night was about to fall.

"Get the castle here before dark."

Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly, and a pair of wings instantly spread out behind him.

He flapped his wings and rushed out like lightning, flying quickly towards the castle.

Rhodes flew at full speed, and with the blessing of the sky and the protection of the wind, his speed instantly exceeded the speed of sound.

A distance of dozens of kilometers passed in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the place?"

Rhode looked around and soon found the castle hidden in the jungle.
