The palace of the Kingdom of Mara was built in the south of Babus City near the lake. It did not have the majesty of the Imperial Palace of Crete, nor the sanctity and solemnity of the Temple of Light in Saint Sal City, nor the thousands of years of vicissitudes of the orc Saint Xavier Empire.
Its area is not large, but when it comes to luxury, it is far inferior to them. The entire kingdom is built in layers, with various exotic flowers and plants planted in the gardens, and rare animals are raised inside. There are dense canals built between the gardens, and a lot of labor was spent to build an artificial lake. The strange mountains and rocks on the rockery were all artificially transported from various sources.
The overall design makes this palace like a water garden, with mountains, palaces, and gardens set against each other, with waterfalls and fountains intertwined, and various small and exquisite buildings standing among the greenery. Within the palace, the Monar family hides Over the generations, the artworks collected with a large amount of wealth, and the murals and paintings seen randomly on the walls and corridors can all be said to be treasures of famous artists and have great origins.
And Adnos is the third prince of the Kingdom of Mara. Apart from him, there are a total of six people in this generation who have the right to inherit the throne. He is ranked sixth. Yes, he is the last one. From the beginning, his His father had no intention of him taking over the throne.
At this moment, everything in this luxurious palace was quiet, and not a single sound could be heard. The guards in the palace were all wearing armors with their heads lowered, guarding everywhere in the palace, as silent as a dead man. Give off a little breath and movement.
The old king's hair was now gray, and he was lying on the large bed, his mouth trembling constantly, looking at Adnos sitting next to him, with only fear and trembling in his eyes.
Adnos looked into the old king's eyes without evading or flinching at all. He had been looking at him like this for two days, watching his eyes change from disbelief at first, to anger, and then to fear and panic.
Adnos looked at the hourglass on the wall: "Time is running out."
After hearing this, the old king's whole body trembled with excitement, and his mouth trembled as he spoke an unclear sentence: "Why... why... do... this."
Adnos poured a glass of wine produced in the Cretan Empire and sat aside. He smiled calmly and said, "I want you to feel the fear and despair when my mother died."
The old king tremblingly struggled to stand up, with a ferocious face, and shouted at Adnos at the top of his lungs: "But what does all this have to do with your sister, your brother, your two brothers and Aisha?" , they are all your brothers and sisters."
"Don't you feel that you can't bear it? How could you do it? How could you do it, and you hate me so much? No matter what, I am still your father!"
Adnos looked into the old king's eyes and said: "Isn't this what you told me? The Monar family has no family ties? That's right! At first, I thought it was hatred. There was only hatred in my eyes. It was me. The cornerstone of the world is my cage, and it is hatred that supports me in eating, sleeping and breathing. I thought that when I die, my veins will be filled with hatred."
"People often use sincere appearances and pious actions to cover up a devilish heart. I am different. I never hide or pretend to be hypocritical. When I get here, it is no longer just hatred. There is a piece missing in my heart. , I want to get it back.”
"Crazy, crazy, you are crazy, crazy~all crazy~"
The old king was stunned. Finally, he lay down and laughed miserably. Two lines of old tears continued to flow from his eyes. There was no panic, fear and anger, only sneers, not sneers. North, instead, was laughing at himself.
"This is really, hehe~hehehe~retribution~"
"Ahem! Ahem!"
The old king coughed violently, and blood seeped out of his mouth. Then his body stiffened and he died on the bed. Not long after, he saw the old king slowly getting up from his bed, his skin changing. He became much paler, and his eyes lost some of their sparkle, but his body became stronger, and the blood under the skin was still squirming. I actually saw that the old king's originally thin body became stronger bit by bit, and But there are still signs of stimulating the blood of knights.
After Adnos returned, he immediately combined Levi's experimental notes and records with the ghoul bloodline and his own research to develop a family of ghouls. With his own power, he can control the ghouls he created. Adnos combined Levi's part of the research on plague with the power of ghouls, and developed corpse poison, which can be created through infection. Out comes the ghoul.
Ordinary ghouls are extremely easy to make and cannot even use mythical cells. However, they have no intelligence and no bloodline power. Although they retain the memories of their lives, their combat effectiveness is extremely low, and they are just used as cannon fodder.
In addition, there are high-level ghouls that Adnos personally transformed and created, ghouls with undead brains. These ghouls have powerful bodies, bloodline abilities of knights, and battle skills during their lifetimes. Skills and memory, what the Necromantic Brain gives them is that after their consciousness is dispersed, they still maintain the most efficient mechanical mind and learning ability. Such soldiers are the most powerful warriors.
In addition, there are king-level ghouls, which is Adnos's way of classification, because these kinds of ghouls are transformed by Adnos using a large amount of his own mythical cells combined with the brains of the dead. Each of them can inherit part of Adnos' power and possess extraordinary abilities.
However, such a transformation requires a great degree of blood compatibility. Adnos found that his direct blood relatives were the most suitable, and because his original consciousness was gone, he was completely reduced to a corpse tool, relying only on instinct. Ghouls, because of the combination of myth cells and undead brains, gradually gave birth to a new ideology, a consciousness reborn from the dead. It is precisely because of this that the ghouls created by Adnos, It was only then recognized by Lu Zhiyu that it was a new race. It could give birth to consciousness based on its own life form, and it was a brand new species.
At this moment, the King's Guards of the Kingdom of Mara have all turned into this kind of high-level ghouls, a knight army of a thousand people. The Kingdom of Mara is no more loose than other kingdoms, and its alliance is more loose. The king is just a big noble. That's all. The knight army with a thousand people is already the king's greatest strength.
And Adnos knew that governing a country required wisdom and order, but ruling a country did not require it. He only needed strength. When he took control of the army, he had a high-level army. The situation of the ghoul army and the entire Kingdom of Mara has begun to tilt towards him.
