Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

"Very evil, full of... filth."

After hearing Drusala's words, Darkus' hand holding the spoon trembled. In his opinion, it was weird and a bit funny for a sorceress to make such a comment. In the end, he still didn't laugh, and put the soup in the spoon into his mouth with trembling hands.

"You...what are you going to do?"

"Don't be so nervous, Ms. Archmage." Darkus said softly after delivering the soup, then he delivered another mouthful of soup, and then said, "In my opinion, there is no essential difference between this and Cuiyulu, although I shouldn't compare this to the Jade Record, but that's what it is, isn't it? As an archmage, you know where the winds of magic come from."

From a certain perspective, necromancy is the expression of Deha. To Darkus, Deha is like gasoline. In addition to being used as fuel, gasoline can also be made into extraction agents, incendiary bombs, or flame sprays. Tools, to be more abstract, Druch's black magic is incendiary bombs, while necromancy magic is flamethrower. Of course, necromancy magic is not only a flamethrower, but also an incendiary bomb.

While on the city wall, Vlad's eyes ejected the Deha Magic Beam. When the terrifying ray comes into contact with the flesh, the flesh will wither and peel off, revealing the white bones. However, the beam was blocked by Darkus. Even if it couldn't be blocked, the ring that Malekith first gave him could. By the way, this spell is called Nagash's Gaze. It is said that Nagash stares, but in fact, sorceresses can also do it. After all, the foundation of all Nagash's spells comes from the black magic that Druch is good at.

"Thank you, Ms. Rebecca, it's delicious." Darkus, who was dining, nodded to the coffin-closing proprietress who put down the bread basket.

After everything was done on the city wall, Darkus and the others walked down from the city wall. After accepting the cheers and blessings from the people, they left with the Triceratops. There was nothing left for them in the Dongcheng District, and the subsequent finishing matters were not his. should be considered.

Darkus, who was not very hungry, came to the Coffin Confirmation Tavern on the Isle of Death as previously arranged. In his opinion... this was too funny. After Manfred died, he was concluding the coffin. He was also finalizing Ladd's death. It's just that he didn't hit Vlad's face with Walter's leaf hammer like he did with Manfred. In his opinion, it was inappropriate and unnecessary.

Moreover, the food cooked by the proprietress who sealed the deal was indeed to Dacus's taste. He didn't want to eat any eels.

"This is what I...should, thank you for saving Altdorf...thank you..."

Darkus reached out and interrupted Ms. Rebecca's words. He knew what Rebecca was going to say. He reached into his arms, took out a black velvet bag, took out a smaller ruby ​​and placed it on the table. After everything was done, he nodded to Ms. Rebecca again.

"Sir...this...this..."

"Take it, this is my thanks, I really like the food you cooked, this is my thanks, every size equals a size, right?"

The landlady hesitated for a while, but finally carefully accepted the small ruby. She slowly stepped back and bowed to Xianmin sitting on the table, then continued working in the kitchen.

"You are so... generous..." Belloda, who was reading the Book of the Netherworld while eating soup, said without raising his head.

"Don't just drink soup, the bread can block your mouth." Darkus knew that Belloda was showing his meanness again, as if the meanness was engraved in Belloda's bones. After passing the soft and delicious bread in the bread basket to Drusala sitting opposite him, he took out another piece of bread and handed it to Franais sitting next to him, and finally handed it to Bei sitting diagonally opposite him. Loda. When handing it to Belloda, he said nonchalantly.

There are many books about the Necronomicon, such as Nagash's Nine Books, Wusolan's Grimoire of Necromancy, the Book of the Netherworld in front of Darkus, etc.

The Book of the Netherworld is very thick, so thick that if used as a weapon, it could crush people to death. I don’t know what material the book cover is made of, but Darkus has been in this world for a long time, and he has some experience in identifying leather. He suspects... There are no characters on the cover of the book, only an abstract skull. Head, he couldn't understand the characters on the page. After all, he was not a warlock. However, he could understand pictures. In his opinion, the first half of the book was a bit like an encyclopedia. He saw many floor plans and plane plans of the dead, including ghouls, zombies, ghosts, etc.

"It's suitable to read while eating, isn't it?" Darkus stopped looking at the Book of the Netherworld after a few glances. He took a bite of bread and shrugged at Franais.

Franais did not respond immediately. He glanced at Belloda and Drusala, who were using magic to turn the pages of the book while eating, and were concentrating on reading. Then he turned to look at Darkus helplessly. He didn't say anything, but shrugged like Darkus.

The Book of the Netherworld has a long history. This book is considered to be one of the most important sources of knowledge about necromancy in the Old World. It was written by the necromancer Frederick Van Hel during the Black Death. It is based on Na Translation of fragments from the Nine Books of Kashi.

This blasphemous work details how to summon and control the dead, as well as the sacrifices required to summon the spirits. It also revealed the secret of extending life by taking the vitality out of the living, and this book and its copies caused terror and death in the lands of the Old World.

As mentioned before, Frederick was the ruler of Sylvania. When the Black Death broke out in 1111 of the Imperial Calendar, Sylvania was also affected, causing a large number of population deaths. That same year, Morthrib shimmered, incandescent meteorites fell like hailstones on Sylvania, the dead refused to remain in their graves, dead fathers crawled home to claim their children, and rotten wives returned Reunion with husband and children.

Faced with these irresistible events, Frederick desperately accepted the selfless help of a mysterious foreign nobleman known as Prince Vladimir. Vladmir provided him with the means to learn necromancy to control the dead and use it against the Skaven. With Vladmir's help, he created the famous Book of the Netherworld.

After the Skaven were gone, Frederic was not satisfied with the imperfect translation of the Netherworld Book, and like many necromancers, he embarked on a pilgrimage. With Vladmir's help and guidance, he wanders the realm of the dead in Nehekhara, exploring the darkest secrets of antiquity.

After Frederick's death, the Book of the Netherworld also disappeared, just like the mysterious Prince Vladimir. In fact, Vladimir was Vlad... In a roundabout way, it appeared again in Darkwu In front of Si's eyes.

From a certain perspective, Vlad has been eyeing Sylvania a long time ago, even before the establishment of the Empire. In addition to the Book of the Netherworld, Frederic also built a mage tower in Sylvania with Vlad's help, which was used to gather the winds of Shash. Although this mage tower was destroyed not long after it was built, the core is still working, just like in a certain Terminator. Without this mage tower, Sylvania would not have become what it was later. Like this.

Compared to the Book of the Netherworld, another gift Vlad gave to Darkus was more evil. If the Book of the Netherworld is the basic version of learning necromancy, then the Nine Volumes of Nagash is the end point of learning death spells. .

Nagash was the first necromancer, and the secrets of his magic were recorded in nine thick tomes known as the Nine Books of Nagash, the first and most famous source of necromancy knowledge. . Its concept is like the origin of some kind of theoretical knowledge. All subsequent books on necromancy are based on the nine volumes to some extent and are completed on the underlying structure of the nine volumes.

The necromancers continued to create many new spells, but all of them were related to Nagash's spells in some way, or were weaker versions of Nagash's spells. After all, many of the spells contained in the nine volumes of Nagash are too powerful for mortals, just like a primary school student reading the papers of famous scholars. After all, the power of Nagash at his peak can rival the gods.

The Nine Books of Nagash are written in the Nehekhara language and contain all of Nagash's secrets, his plans, his research, his experiments, and his progress in developing this evil magic. It records the rituals and spells necessary to resurrect the dead, summon souls, and capture the life essence of every living thing.

In addition to magic, the nine volumes of Nagash also record countless alchemical procedures for enhancing life force, as well as formulas for developing immortality potions. In addition, there are some evil things, similar to Feng Shui? For example, observe the orbit of the evil moon Morsrib. After all, the position and phase of Morsrib do have a great impact on the necromantic rituals.

After Nagash was defeated, the rulers of Nehekhara launched a purge. All his followers except Arkhan were executed, and most of the nine books of Nagash were burned in a huge bonfire. content. But everything has its consequences. Queen Neferata of Lahmia obtained some secrets and books, which also led to the emergence of vampires.

After Nagash was defeated and the surviving vampires fled to Nehekhara, the remaining nine volumes of Nagash also spread throughout the world, passing through the hands of different people, spreading necromancy to farther places. For a time, the earliest ruler of Morukan received his crown, and he whispered in the dreams of the shaman, influencing the ruler, and through the shaman he successfully recreated the Nine Books of Nagash. However, a series of things happened later. Usoran came to Morukan. Under the operation of Neferata, Morukan was destroyed by the green skin, and the re-created nine volumes of Nagash were also missing.

As far as Darkus knew, the nine volumes of Nagash were scattered, and what Vlad gave him was not one of them, but a few pages torn from a certain volume. He knew the contents of these pages without reading or asking. After all, he knew that Vlad used these pages to drag up the dead in Sylvania during the Witching Night.

Apart from these few pages, the others were either destroyed or hidden in places such as Marukan in the Badlands and Nagashtra in Nehekhara. Or in the hands of some people, such as Arkhan and Melchior. As we all know, Arkhan is a dog of Nagash, and Melchior has a little history.

When it comes to Melchior, we must first talk about the Wusolan and Nikolaich families. Wusolan is actually Nagash's dog, Vasanish, and it was Vlad who killed Nagash in order to remove the resurrection ring. After deliberately killing Akaneza due to restrictions, most of the vampires fled the battlefield, while Wusolan stayed there. In the end, Wusolan defeated Akaneza and the Nehekhara coalition.

Nagash was very satisfied with Wusolan. As a reward, he gave Wusolan the remaining parts of the nine volumes. Under his careful guidance, Wusolan's necromancy skills continued to improve, but only in a short period of time. A year later, he was killed by Akaneza.

Wusolan escaped with his apprentices, taking with him as many of Nagash's books and creations as he could. As the ancestor of vampires, he is different from Vashanish, Neferata, Usoran and Abhorash. He does not have the ambitions of other vampires. He does not have the ambition to build a great country, nor is he like other vampires. Tends to build an army.

At the same time, he agrees with Nagash's dream, but does not agree with Nagash's plan. In his opinion, simply conquering the mortal world is not enough. To a certain extent, Wusolan saw the true nature of the world and believed that all life in the world should be ended, thereby ending any control or influence the gods had over mortals, because if there was no life, no one could worship the gods. , and no mortal soul can win the favor of the gods. He knows that if he wants to gain enough power to achieve this goal, then he must have a sufficient understanding of Isil, because it contains the essence of his existence.

Wusolan played a trick. Instead of fleeing north like other vampires, he chose to return to Lahmia. After a series of events, the former Lahmian palace became desolate and empty. He didn't think other vampires would come here. As time passed, he became decadent, and his constant exploration of Isil and necromancy paved the way for his death.

Although Wusolan is powerful, he must be in a trance state to interact with Isil. Eventually, his best and most diligent student, Melchior, took advantage of his trance and killed him.

No one knows what prompted Melchior to betray Wusolan. It may be that Nagash told him to kill Wusolan in some way, or maybe he sensed that Wusolan lacked goals. Perhaps he is more powerful than Wusolan, and he can defy Wusolan in terms of magical attainments, because he does not seem to need to enter a trance state to interact with Isil. But anyway, he finally pounced on his mentor, slit Wusolan's throat, sucked out the last drop of Wusolan's blood, and ate Wusolan's body within three days to ensure that he could Absorbing the essence of his mentor.

From that moment on, Melchior became the only member of the Wusolan line, and he named his line Nicolachi, symbolizing the pursuit of the sanctity of death.

"Shadow Forest..." Darkus said with a sigh. He shook his head at the elves who looked up at him to indicate that it was okay.

Darkus didn’t know much about the affair between Wu Solan and Melchior’s master and apprentice, but he knew that Melchior was still alive and living in the Shadow Forest, and he also knew that Melchior might have already died. He was killed by Zacharias Nicolaschi, the apprentice of Delt Hesnich and also the apprentice of Melchior, "The Eternal", but it doesn't matter whether Melchior is dead or alive, monk It has been changed, but the temple is still there.

Although Darkus has no system power, he likes to achieve great things, such as patting the horse master's belly and performing plastic surgery on Vlad's nose. However, he does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder. He is not interested in collecting the nine volumes of Nagash. Although he said so, he has to do it if he knows where it is. After all, he has come here.

The Shadow Forest is part of the Darkus Plan. Delt Hesnich, Melchior and Zacharias, the demons and monsters hiding in the Shadow Forest, must be killed. After killing the remaining nine volumes of Nagash Part of it will come naturally. If you have a chance, kill Arkhan again. When passing through Nehekhara, go to Nagashiza and Lahmia, and go to the Malukan in the Bad Land.

But in Darkus' opinion, it's just that, more of an achievement and side mission. Druch's black magic and Nagash's Necronomicon are like trains running parallel on the track. Maybe after he explodes the population, more caster seedlings will appear, and a caster of the same level as Nagash will appear. of. Besides, there was no Teclis, and he didn’t expect anything to happen to the nine volumes of Nagash. Just like what he had always thought before, it was just a reference and popular science reading.

"There is some reference value. Academically, we can understand the characteristics of undead creatures, such as weaknesses and habits. In addition to these, some spells that are not used to summon the undead also have some characteristics. These spells are based on Deha and our black magic. adjustments made.

If I have time, I can strip and organize those spells and bring them back to Naggaroth for further study. "The meal kept eating. After a long time, Drusala stopped turning the pages. She closed the Book of the Netherworld, raised her head and looked at Darkus, thought about it for a moment and then said in deep thought.

Darkus raised his eyebrows after hearing this. He felt something was wrong. He knew that Nagash's theory originated from Druch's black magic. It was like... He couldn't describe this feeling. It was very strange. , very ironic. From the exit of Druch, Nagash was processed, and then weakened by Vlad and Frederic. Then it made a big circle and then circled back, and then returned to the exit. It was Chineseized at the exit. Export for digestion and secondary analysis.

"What about that?" After thinking for a moment, Darkus asked.

"Those pages record the summoning ritual of the undead. With the blessing of Deha, dimension stone and Morsrib orbit, in addition to spells and rituals, we can learn from other parts." Drusala thought this time It took longer than last time. After a long time, she spoke slowly. Except for the Slann Demon Priest, she saw this powerful ritual for the first time. Perhaps with the secret ball that replaces the dimension stone, this ritual can provide reference and learning value from a certain perspective, but it has not yet When she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Darkus.

"Very good." Darkus responded. He knew what Drusala meant, which was to replace the necromancy spells with other spells, and then replace the dimensional stones with arcane balls, so as to achieve the goal of heaven. Tribulation level magic.

Just like Vlad used these pages of spell rituals, Deha, the warpstone collected from Mordheim, and the bonus of the Morthrib orbit during the Witching Night, during the Witching Night Called all the undead in Sylvania. It has some similarities with the powerful spells cast by the Slann Demon Priests through the spiritual network, but is somewhat different. It is a lower-level weakened version of the calamity-level tactics.

Just like the powerful spells cast by the Slann Demon Priest with the help of the spiritual network are of the Great Ivan nuclear bomb level, what Nagash has developed is a civilian-level tactical nuclear bomb. The caster does not need to be powerful or legendary, as long as he has The right time and place for supporting facilities. From a certain perspective, the sun that appeared over Altdorf was a tactical nuclear bomb. The effect was achieved with the help of the Hexi Wind in the mirror pool. Without the nearly massive Hexi Wind and Colonia's power, This spell cannot be cast.

"Nice gift, isn't it?" Darkus thought for a moment and then picked up the wine glass and said. After all the elves present drank their glasses, he said with a smile, "The final word is final! To Elsin Alvin, to Kor Vanas, to the elves!" (End of this chapter)
