Prime Minister Moretti did not realize that an undercurrent was piled up, ready to explode a flood to subdue it. In Moretti's heart, Faroa returned to the countryside, like a tiger without teeth, without any threat; and Marshal Lucas was just a foolish and loyal Yamano-no-guru, and it was even more impossible to pose a threat to himself.

Moretti believes that no one in this empire can threaten his position.

But now it is not the time to turn against Lucas. Lucas still holds military power and has a huge power. Assassination is easy to alarm the enemy, and a head-on break is easy to be bitten back. So Moretti temporarily endured it.

But there is no need to endure it for long. His people are constantly eroding the military headquarters. At this moment, Lucas's mind is all focused on the northern battlefield. It is just a time to be in a state of anxiety. By the time he realized something was wrong, it would have been too late.

By then, the imperial guards of this empire would have been under his control, and Lucas, who had suffered heavy losses on the northern battlefield, would have lost the capital to confront him.

It will not be too late to deal with these two martyrs.

Moretti made a wrong judgment.

--------

The scene continues to move forward, this time they cut into the scene of the Prime Minister's Mansion in ghost mode.

As a prime minister who worked diligently for the empire for the rest of his life, Moretti's mansion was not luxurious, although this place had nothing to do with simplicity. As the scene progressed, their vision went over the garden, over the bust of Tampas, over the fountain, and finally came to the basement of Moretti's mansion.

In the ancient times when Lahta was located, the countries in the central western regions had the same architectural style, and all buildings must have basements. The basement at that time was completely different from the basement in the current buildings. Now when it comes to basements, players subconsciously think of wealth, equipment, treasure chests, etc. Not bad, it is also a hidden task. But at that time, the basement was a very common part of a building.

Moretti, alone, holding a candle, walked towards the stairs leading to the basement.

There was no candlelight in the basement, and the faint candlelight reflected a special dazzling feeling on the rough and wet walls of the basement. These lights staggered to reflect half of the outline of Moretti's face, under the uncertain light. Moretti's already gloomy and treacherous face seemed even more terrifying. The evil spirits eroded the old prime minister very deeply. His desires had been completely aroused, and his heart was completely devoid of good thoughts, and his soul was almost occupied by evil spirits. Under such pollution, the old prime minister's body, which was not strong, seemed thinner and had lost the ability to blink. His eyelids were dead, motionless, and his eyes were turbid and unsightly. If it weren't for breathing and moving, it would be no different from the dead.

After Moretti walked to the basement, he gently placed the candle in his hand on the candlestick on the wall.

The walls began to vibrate gently, the bricks became loose, squeezed and wriggled, and a passage was turned out in a short while.

Moretti walked in.

--------

There was another basement hidden in the basement. Everyone thought Moretti was really creative in hiding things, and the mechanism was also designed very cleverly. If someone who was not aware of it came here, it would be almost impossible to find that there was a different world in the basement.

What exactly is Moretti hiding like this?

Their vision has been following Moretti.

Finally, they saw the basement below the basement.

To everyone's surprise, this place turned out to be an alchemy laboratory!

Strictly speaking, the demise of the ancient kingdom of Lahta is not far from the birth of the primitive school of alchemy, perhaps hundreds of years? But for the entire history of alchemy, hundreds of years are really short.

Yang Hai's mastery is this ancient alchemy and is a master. Although this laboratory is very simple, it is beyond recognition and is a world of difference compared to the alchemy laboratory that players are using now, he still determined what this place is for immediately.

This is an alchemy laboratory.

Considering the development of alchemy at that time, although this underground laboratory was very, very simple, it could be considered luxurious in that era. Yang Hai even saw the temperature control crucible here, and this discovery directly led to his historical knowledge jumping by 1%. He didn't know that ancient alchemists were using crucibles in such a long time. At that time, experimental notes were not popular in alchemy research. If it succeeds, the experimental results will be kept by the alchemist himself; if it fails... then it will fail.

The Alchemy Laboratory is not the most surprising thing, but the most surprising thing is that this laboratory is in operation.

Yang Hai saw more than a dozen ghouls running around busyly, holding flasks, herbs, reagents, etc. Some ghouls cook drinks in the crucible, some ghouls grind materials on the test bench, and some were slaughtering corpses and making organs...

A Lich is doing alchemy research?

This idea jumped into Yang Hai's mind.

In historical records, most powerful lichs can alchemy. As for the depth of their attainments, it is a different story. The dead spirits have infinite life. If they can successfully restore their minds after waking up, and restrain their hatred for the living, and prevent this instinct from controlling themselves, then they can basically truly have self-awareness. At this time, infinite life requires some other things to play time, and alchemy is a good choice.

After all, if you don’t move for a long time, even if you die, your bones will rust...

But... isn't the Kingdom of Lahta? This alchemy laboratory operates so smoothly, and it seems that it has been running for a day or two. As the head of the kingdom, Mr. Moretti, you are offering a lich in your home like this... Is it really okay to do this?

Yang Hai soon realized that he was wrong.

Without lichs, the one who controls these ghouls is a necromancer who has completed the transformation ritual.

Moretti walked to the necromancer wearing a cloak of bones and asked softly: "How is the method of immortality research?"

"It's still very bad, sir." The Necromancer bowed respectfully and replied: "We have developed a potion...it can realize your wish for eternal life, but after taking it, it will transform into a dead soul..."

Moretti scoffed.

"Become a dead soul? Then what should I use it?" Moretti said in a cold voice: "The dead soul is not conscious. Is it just to rule this kingdom to be a bone rack that cannot be enjoyed?"

The Necromancer was very frightened and could only bend over and dare not speak.

"My patience is limited, Soro," Moretti said impatiently, "I risk being hanged to save you from the gallows of heresy; I give you so much money every year, and it is not for you to squander my patience."

"Yes, sir..." Necromancer Soro said timidly.

"Continue to study until you have found the potion position of immortality!" Moretti waved.

"Then our research results..." The Necromancer shook the bottle in his hand.

"Damn, why are you keeping this kind of thing for?" Moretti said angrily: "I threw it away! I'm annoying to see it!"

"We made a lot of these potions..." Solo shrank his neck.

"Take it away!"

"Yes, sir." said the Necromancer listlessly.

"Your movements should be faster, otherwise I wouldn't mind showing my unkind side." Moretti's cold voice rang in the laboratory: "Your soul mark is still in my hands? I saved you because you said you could achieve eternal life. I am old and I am very excited about your research. But don't blame me for not warning you, Solo. If your research still makes no progress in your research and force me to become a dead soul... you can be buried in my tomb."

"I understand, sir..." The Necromancer sighed.

When Yang Hai saw this scene, he suddenly remembered the words of Master Carlyle.

What should happen will happen in the end; what should not happen will not happen no matter how hard it is.

Moretti seemed loyal. If there was no evil spirit erosion, he could be a loyal minister for life. However, by raising necromancers and studying the way of immortality, he knew that this was a person with extremely strong desires. He did not directly betray the king, but because the old king's corpse was not cold and Lucas' authority was still there. Even without this evil spirit, Moretti would probably betray the Lothar family for other reasons. This evil spirit, perhaps it really did nothing, but just accelerated the process of the incident.
