Chapter 386 The Elf Who Can Accompany Eighteen Generations of Ancestors

"State federal system, Europa Empire, Emperor Levi..."

A young man in plain clothes was flipping through books quickly in the National Library of Washington.

It covers almost all geography, politics, military, etc., any news recorded by human society in this world.

Every time the young man finished flipping through a book, he would put the book in its original place and never check it again, because all the contents of that book were recorded in his mind verbatim, comparable to The legendary photographic memory!
The most terrifying thing is that as long as he is willing, he will never forget the knowledge he has learned in his life.

After flipping through the last book he thought was useful, Merlin adjusted the monocle on his left eye socket with some pity.

"It's a pity that the core industrial secrets are simply not to be found here.

Moreover, this world is completely different from the armament route in the Arigado Empire. If you really want to imitate it, you have to learn it from scratch.

It seems that the indigenous humans in this world still need to stay.

At least until these technologies are fully mastered, all indigenous humans cannot be killed. "

Merlin took off the conspicuous monocle, and the monocle that fell into his palm disappeared instantly.

Using magic to quickly accumulate knowledge is certainly time-saving and labor-saving, but as time goes by, more and more knowledge is stored, and Merlin has to create some portable tools for himself that can replace his brain to store knowledge.

After all, the knowledge reserve of thousands of years is not a small amount.

Even though Merlin looks like he is only in his early twenties.

Since the vampire would think of spending a lot of resources to send a person in advance, the magic guild in the human empire would naturally not be surprised.

It's just that human beings don't have the talent of vampires to manipulate the undead. They can't form an army alone, and in the new world without magical energy, even the top curse magicians can't spare their magic power to release the curse. .

Doing that would be no different than committing suicide.

Mei Lin, who walked out of the National Library, looked up at the easy-going sunshine in the sky, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to himself with great enjoyment: "No matter how many times I feel it, this world is so beautiful.

Those old guys in the guild finally didn't waste magic stones this time.

I can finally leave that old world full of disasters!
However, this world is not as safe as it seems. In my eyes, the United States of America, which already has many strange inventions and creations, is actually just a low-level country in this world.

Shall I go to Europa Continent to investigate the rumored world overlord?
I heard that Emperor Li Wei is about to die, maybe I can use the source of life stone to make that Emperor Li Wei prostrate at my feet. "

A pleasant smile formed on the corner of Merlin's mouth, suppressing his politeness and disappearing into the crowd.

Compared with war, the Magic Guild prefers to use the power of the natives to establish its own hegemony in this wonderful new world.

After all, war will kill many people, and it can easily bring the world to the brink of collapse!

The plane where the Makabaka Continent is located is experiencing constant natural disasters and is on the verge of destruction. This is because of the excessive exploitation and utilization of magic energy (that is, the earth's core energy) caused by long-term wars, which has led to a significant reduction in the lifespan of the entire planet.

The most knowledgeable magic guild in the Makabaka continent could not find the hometown where they lived. Why did it become like this? In desperation, they had to use immature space transmission technology to capture plane beacons in the universe.

In terms of the level of magic in this area, the various races of the Makabaka continent can only be regarded as beginners. If they were not baited by Xiaobai, they would never be able to find other planetary planes, let alone cross the cosmic barriers of the multiverse!
And Merlin is the current president of the magic guild, a human magician who has lived for thousands of years by relying on the source of life!
At the end of 1824, the war in the Far East was in full swing, but both sides were in a stalemate.

Everyone understands the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, so as time goes by, although the population and military strength of the Qing government have been greatly reduced, they have received countless supports from neighboring countries, including the army!
And the vampire Rezas discovered that in addition to going south, the north and west were areas where people were extremely rare. The originally small population had already been scared by the undead corps and migrated en masse.

Therefore, Resas chose to attack the densely populated south, where even a small county town could be replenished with five-figure troops.

However, when sweeping the countryside, the Undead Corps no longer had the ease it had in the early days. Now every village in the frontline area has built small fortresses one after another.

Those who remained gathered without exception in these small fortresses.

To kill people, the undead corps had to push through one fortress after another. Not to mention the huge losses, the efficiency was still very low!

What's more, the regular army of the Qing Dynasty would not just watch the undead corps devouring the local countryside, and large groups of cavalry raided and harassed the weak points of the undead corps.

Even sometimes, when the undead army is attacking a village fortress, the main force of the regular Qing army will suddenly appear in other directions, attacking the undead army that is attacking the city.

Of course, there were not many such situations. What annoyed Rezas the most was that after he bulldozed a fortress, as soon as the Undead Corps left, the Qing army would follow to regain the lost territory!
Then find all kinds of materials that have been hidden in advance from those lost cellars and the like!

Moreover, the people guarding the fortress will not insist on defending it stubbornly. If there are too many undead attacks, they will evacuate in time and hide the supplies in advance.

Those undead have no brains, where can they find things hidden by humans?
As for Resas, who is in charge of the movement of 10,000+ undead corps, how can he have the time to search for supplies from village to village?
This ensures that although the Qing control area is often occupied, the actual loss of materials and population is not too large. If Rexas wants to replenish his military strength, he can only deal with more people than himself and better equipment than himself. The human army launches a decisive battle!

Although the undead corps are replenished quickly, they are also depleted quickly!
In addition to group battles, low-level living corpses are not opponents of human soldiers at all in small group encounters.

On the contrary, there are too many living corpses, which makes it difficult for Rezas to command. Although Rezas can rely on spiritual energy to command and control the undead, Rezas will also feel a headache if he controls 10,000+ undead at the same time...

After all, on the continent of Makabaka, the undead corps mainly takes the quality route in addition to the quantity advantage, and the vampires also know the truth that soldiers are expensive and fine but not expensive!

It's a pity that the new world without a source of magic power forces Resas to take the quantitative route. Fortunately, Resas has not been defeated in a major decisive battle so far. After each decisive battle, Resas can replenish his troops. Even the flesh and blood of undead corpses and fragmented human corpses can be used to pile up for strong living corpses, allowing them to be promoted to ghouls.

In addition, Lesas also began to cultivate mid-level undead who could be promoted only by the energy of flesh and blood—grave guards who could use human weapons proficiently, and their own strength and agility were also very powerful.

The Grave Guard is not an undead soldier that is often used on the continent of Makabaka. There is no other reason. This is a mid-level undead that relies purely on physical attacks.

In that plane where magic battle qi has become a common method of warfare, the barren grave guards who rely purely on physical strength, even if they are a little smarter than other undead, are useless.

However, in this new world, the Tomb Guards did unexpectedly good things. Rezas even organized a Tomb Guard artillery squad!
In a real sense, the progress of undead soldiers' cannon shooting has been realized!
In fact, for using human weapons, Rexas prefers simple and easy-to-use skeleton soldiers, but the power source of skeleton soldiers is magic. In a new world without magic, Rexas can't use his own magic to make a bunch of skeletons Let the shelf move.

Then do Resas sooner or later, pump yourself into a vampire!

Looking at the undead units that Rexas currently has, there are only three types except for the Headless Horseman, who is so powerful that he doesn't need magic and is also very good.

Living corpses, ghouls, and tomb guards, these three types of undead soldiers, without exception, do not need to consume magic energy. They can maintain their mobility and even continue to evolve by eating flesh and blood.

The evolution direction of the undead is actively controlled by their vampire masters, so there is no need to worry about living corpses, ghouls, and grave guards, who will evolve a useless undead unit that needs to be driven by magical energy.

It's a pity that the barren grave guards are only in the single digits now, and only one person can control one artillery can barely provide weak artillery support for the Undead Corps. During wars, the artillery positions of the Undead Corps are often suppressed by the enemy!
Even if Rexas regarded these barren grave guards as baby bumps, there was no way to expand their number in a short while.

If ghouls can be directly manufactured by ordinary humans with very good physical fitness, the barren grave guards are purely high-consumable products piled up with flesh and blood of corpses.

Unless Lexas actively 'sacrifices' his 10,000+ undead army to devour each other, it will be difficult to expand the number of grave guards in a short period of time.

However, the conversion rate of the two is too low, no matter how stupid the zombies are, the number of 10,000+ is more useful than hundreds of grave guards!

What's more, dead living corpses can be used as waste.

Compared to Lesas, a visitor from another world who was in a state of strategic anxiety, Merlin had just disembarked from the port of Toulon in the French region at this time.

As a wealthy traveler.

For Merlin, making money is not a difficult task. Although he cannot use forbidden magic that consumes too much, it is still easy to use some magic that kills people invisible.

And magic has many means, which can erase the traces of killing, such as the most basic way of destroying corpses and eliminating traces.

Merlin only needs to sacrifice the lives of a few wealthy businessmen to make himself a wealthy American tourist.

Thanks for the terrible censorship of the population register in this day and age!
Of course, Merlin, who acted cautiously, would not be reckless to meet the world's most powerful ruler of an empire.

In the history books that Mei Lin read, there are very detailed records about Li Wei. After all, Emperor Li Wei is not dead yet!

Therefore, from the history of Li Wei's rise, Merlin discovered many points that did not conform to the laws of the human army in this era.

It feels like in this world, as those stupid religious believers say, Li Wei is the apostle of God, the heir of the devil...

Merlin did not think that the descendant of the devil was a derogatory term, because the devil was a name for a person who did all kinds of evil and was insidious and treacherous on the Macabaka continent.

Those who can get the title of devil are all giants without exception!
How could such a strong person be called an insult?
People in the new world who value politics more than power would think so!
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it or not, Merlin's acceptance of the new world culture is still very strong.

In a powerful magic guild, strength alone is not enough to become the president, but brains are also required.

Humans are the best at this. On the Macabaka continent, humans are the only ones who value the wisdom of their leaders.

The other big clans, the orcs and vampires, all valued naked fists!
If you are strong, you can kill the previous boss and become the boss yourself!

The only difference between the two is that there is not much difference in strength between the strong of the orc family, and they often change their bosses, while the vampire family is a flowing vampire, and the iron-clad Queen Lilith...

The boss of the dwarf clan not only looks at the fist, but also the forging ability that Merlin can't understand!
Presumably, any normal human would not think that blacksmithing would become a strong basis for competing for the king.

Of course, this is the tradition of the dwarves. As the most loyal ally of the human race, Merlin still respects the customs of the dwarves. After all, the dwarves often produce some good things that even magicians are amazed at.

In Merlin's eyes, except for the dwarf girl, the dwarves are all good things!
As for the way the elves choose their boss, in the eyes of humans in the Makabaka continent, it is an eternal after-dinner conversation topic.

Because the boss of the elf clan may not be the strongest elf, but he is definitely the most beautiful elf, and he must be a woman!
Yes, the important reason for the cold relationship between the elves and the Arigado Empire is that the elves and those whores are actually a matriarchal society!
Women can dominate men!
This disgusted the patriarchal Arigado Empire dignitaries very much. Even if a beautiful elf girl (a girl several hundred years old) took off her clothes in front of the human dignitaries, it would not change their prejudice against the matriarchal society of the elves!

If it weren't for the fact that the vampires are the natural enemies of human beings, the human empire would definitely aim their swords and guns at the elves!
After all, the benefits of fighting elves are visible to the naked eye. Those elves have such a long lifespan. Even if an elf female slave, an imperial dignitary has the magic medicine to prolong life, she can still use it for eighteen generations of ancestors!
Moreover, the water of life of the elves is an indispensable main material for making the source of life stone!
