Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 131: Enfeoffment of the Emperors (1)
"Lord Dika, could you be more specific? How much can I temporarily increase my basic mental strength through 'blood transformation'?" This is the most critical question. If the increase is too low, it will not have much practical value.
Bat Demon Dika turned his head and looked at Temur, apparently asking him to answer the question. Temur looked a little reluctant, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke: "With my current ability, I can at least increase a blood wizard's lifeblood essence by 50%. However, you undead wizards are not of my kind, and your physiques are different. And the calculation is based on basic mental power, so I don't know how much it can be increased."
Although this Temur's behavior of snatching the "Lich Robe" was a bit despicable, he was honest in his words. He did not deliberately exaggerate the ability of "blood transformation" to increase his chances of survival. It seems that the effect of using it on us undead wizards must be discounted a lot, and it is impossible to reach such a perverted rate of 50%. However, the "blood transformation" ability is still a great temptation for me. With my current strength, it is still quite difficult to subdue the terrifying earth dragon knights. It is time-consuming and laborious. It takes a long time to get one. The equipment that increases the success rate of the "Soul Contract" is hard to come by. I may not be able to get it. The way to improve basic mental strength must not be missed. If I agree to let Temur perform the "First Embrace" and have the "blood transformation" ability, even if there is only one hour a day, as long as I seize the time and make reasonable arrangements, I should be able to subdue a lot of terrifying earth dragon knights, improve work efficiency, and thereby realize the renewal of the main combat arms, and strive to achieve it in one step. I believe that I can at least lead my peers by half or even a level. Even for taming other powerful undead creatures, it should be beneficial and have a higher chance. Moreover, the growth of basic mental power can not only increase the success rate of "Soul Contract", but if there are props and equipment with attribute bonuses, the upper limit of mental power will also be improved. Before performing "Undead Summoning" in the human world, stimulating "Blood Transformation" first means that more undead creatures can be summoned at one time.
Seeing that I was still hesitating, as if I couldn't make up my mind, the Bat Demon Dika came up again and said, "Brother Ah Dai, the Blood Lich is the only Blood Witch royal family that has the ability of 'First Embrace', but it is not the only emperor of the Blood Witch clan. It only controls the area near the holy land 'Blood Pool'. There are still other Blood Witch royal families in other areas. Even if you let Brother Mu'er go, you still have the opportunity to 'wear the royal robe' and have the identity of a Blood Witch royal family. In the long run, you don't actually lose anything, but you may gain greater benefits from it."
What he said makes sense, and it prompted me to finally make up my mind, "Six, I want to have all six of Temur's 'First Embrace' spots." For an Undead wizard, the "Blood Transformation" that can temporarily increase basic mental strength can be said to be an extremely practical and unique ability. I can use it to win people's hearts and get other Undead wizards to help me; I can even auction it. I believe that many Undead wizards will be interested in it and make a small profit; even if I use it on Shaman, Taotao, Wu Ma and other capable subordinates, it can make their strength reach a higher level in a short period of time and can also play a greater role.
Temur's face suddenly turned bitter. He was about to say something, but I didn't give him a chance to bargain. "This matter is non-negotiable. My more than 10,000 Terror Knights cannot be sacrificed in vain. Anyway, your 'Blood Pool' is under the jurisdiction of me, the Fourth Witch King. If other forces want to attack you, they must pass through my territory first. I will protect your safety. As long as your men are fine, you don't have to worry about being invaded by foreign enemies and your throne being in jeopardy."
The bat demon Dika pulled Temur aside and discussed for a while. Temur's face became more and more gloomy, but he could only nod helplessly in the end. The bat demon Dika came forward to answer on his behalf: "Okay, brother A'dai, we can leave all six 'First Embrace' places to you. However, brother Mu'er has just inherited the position of blood lich, and his foundation is not stable. He doesn't have many subordinates. In order to deter those covetous or hostile forces in the tribe, he must quickly establish a stronger force. Can you please let go of the remaining blood witches under Douglas, brother A'dai, they are all elites in the 'Blood Pool' territory. If they are willing to surrender brother Mu'er, it will be of great help to quickly consolidate the throne. After all, we are now of the same blood, and we will prosper together. Brother Mu'er has gained a foothold and become more and more powerful, and you, brother A'dai, will also gain more benefits."
"It's not impossible to let them go, but the blood witches are of great use to me , so I must subdue some of them. As a blood lich, I must be able to sense the other blood witch royals. Can you tell me their specific locations so that it will be convenient for me to act." Temur has just ascended to the throne, and he does need a lot of support. Moreover, it is estimated that after so much fighting, not many of the 2,000 blood witches will survive. Even if I subdue them, they will not be of much use. I still have to find new targets as soon as possible.
"I am not familiar with much of the information and functions of the royal family yet, so I cannot provide it for the time being. It will take some time. But there is still a war over there. Could you please notify them as soon as possible and ask them to stop, brother A-Dai?" Temur did not hesitate this time and agreed readily. After all, it had betrayed Douglas before, and it was not the first time. There was no "moral" obstacle, so it could be used to eliminate the hostile forces.
I secretly ordered the shamans to be on high alert and be careful not to let Temur escape. I rode on Taotao and quickly rushed to the battlefield. I could no longer wear the "Supreme Corpse Crown" to have a long-distance spiritual connection with Xinbitiangao and Moonlight Box, so I could only go there in person. Temur had already issued a ceasefire order to the blood witches. Although the blood witches had not yet been brought under direct command, as long as they were not attacked and their lives were not threatened, they would still follow some basic instructions of the blood witches. I also ordered my men to withdraw from the battle, and then found Xinbitiangao and the others, commanding all the terror knights to stop attacking and surround the remaining two or three hundred blood witches. This was the result of not attacking with all my strength in the later period, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago, waiting for Temur to come and take them over. Of course, if there are particularly stubborn and disobedient ones who resolutely refuse to submit, the most serious punishment will be "expulsion", then I will have to take them in by force.
After arranging all this, I immediately turned back and asked Temur to fulfill his promise to "First Embrace" me first to see what effect it would have. Fortunately, there was no conflict between us, and we were in good condition, which would not affect the "First Embrace" - of course, Temur had to swear by the dignity and honor of the emperor to abide by all his promises and not take the opportunity to harm me, so I dared to let him come forward to "bite" me without any worries.
