Audrey ntioned the Undead Hero, and Lin Rui imdiately rembered that Audrey had always had plans for this, to organize an Undead Army.
As soon as Lin Rui used up the "Crimson Kite's Wings," Audrey demanded equivalent treatnt.
Lin Rui then looked at Rose and said, "I rember you took four of my Corroded Hero's Hearts. What kind of compensation are you planning to give ?"
Rose gave him a glare, "Can't you stop being so petty?"
"You guys are generous indeed. If I don't proactively ask, you wouldn't ntion compensation at all, would you?" Lin Rui glared back, confirming that indeed, those who owe debts have the luxury of being generous. After all, it's not them who pay the price.
Rose righteously declared, "Haven't you heard the saying? Achievents will not be forgotten, and contributions will always be rewarded."
"So the truth is you haven't thought about this at all, and I should just wait, is that it?"
Exposed, Rose did not get angry but calmly replied, "Our Elf Imperial Court can easily compensate with a bit of wealth, why rush? Or is there sothing specific you want?"
"Of course, there is. We need Spirit Crystals, Undead Heroes, strategic items that improve troop talent, items that increase command limits, Strategic Treasures, Sacred Treasures, Miracle Buildings, and so on and so forth."
Rose was truly exasperated by Lin Rui's indifferent attitude, "Are you making a wish here? Just for a few Corroded Hero's Hearts, you ask for so much? Make a more reasonable request, please?"
"Then just give an Undead Hero first." Lin Rui bluntly stated, "I believe that over the years, there must have been Undead Armies venturing into various forests, seeking adventure and treasure."
The greatest arrogance of humanity is thinking that only their world holds civilization and excitent.
But in fact, in the shadows and unknown places away from human attention, there is constant adventure and confrontation.
In the tranquil forests, battles of the Beastn and silent searches of the Undead have always been present.
Rose looked slightly surprised at Lin Rui, saying, "I didn't expect you to think about this. Indeed, Undead Heroes have always tried to enter the forests, secretly digging up the corpses of those foolish adventurers who ventured in. But they only provided us with more bones and nutrients for the forests. Among them, there is indeed one impressive Undead Hero whose deeds are well-known across various forests."
Audrey's eyes lit up, and she happily asked, "Do you an you Elves have imprisoned a very powerful Undead Hero?"
"You're thinking too much." Rose flatly denied, "For powerful foreign heroes, we always eliminate them completely, leaving no aftermath. The ones left are those harmless like Yalanna, singing and dancing heroes."
Luckily, Yalanna wasn't there, or she would have glared furiously at her. Who are you calling useless?
Rose naturally didn't care about the thoughts of a re Tier Seven supportive hero and continued, "Besides, only heroes with special significance and abilities are kept. The Undead Hero left behind was kept because his abilities are exceptionally unique, leaving a deep impression."
At this point, Lin Rui already had a bad premonition.
Audrey has always had a quirky mindset; if her troops acquire even quirky abilities, her entire army's direction will be irreversibly strange.
Hearing Rose's words, Audrey was already invigorated and asked eagerly, "What is its special ability?"
"It's stitching." Rose said, "It's a mad lich, most passionate about stitching together various bizarre Undead Creatures."
"Similar to those abominations?" Audrey curiously said, "This doesn't seem particularly strange, does it? Or is my threshold too low, and I've beco accustod to such things?"
Lin Rui couldn't help but hesitate, wondering if indeed he had no bottom line, feeling no special aversion to stitched abominations.
Rose explained, "It's not that simple. While many necromancers are evil and cruel, trying their hand at stitching corpses, it is extraordinarily unique. It's passionate about studying the mysteries of life and death, combining life force with death force. aning it combines living creatures with corpses to study resurrection techniques."
With that said, Lin Rui understood.
Forests and natural entities form the most life-force-rich factions, with many troop types known for their vigorous life force. If left unchecked, they will soon thrive with vitality, gaining greater fighting power and becoming formidable forces.
A lich wanting to study vitality and life force makes the forest a very apt place to go.
With so many Undead Creatures in the world, a few wanting to study resurrection techniques is indeed quite normal.
So Lin Rui asked, "Does it have any special research findings?"
Rose nodded and said, "Although it's quite unconventional, it did indeed achieve so results, which is why it was retained by the Imperial Court."
"What was the research finding?" Lin Rui imdiately questioned, pondering if it's too taboo and evil, would it not align with the Golden Pansy Domain's upright nature?
Rose replied, "It studies resurrection techniques, so its finding is related to this. It can make tree bark grow on a corpse."
"What... is the significance of this?" Audrey didn't understand, "Isn't this the Jilun Mage's skill, Petrification Body? Making the target's skin hard and knotted like tree bark. It's like a natural armor, though at the cost of reduced agility."
