"It seems that your capital of death is not far from the real underworld. ”

Even if it was just a glimpse, the cold negative energy breath coming from the opposite side of the gate of time and space still made Semiramis sigh, although she had never been to the real underworld, but such a strong negative energy breath was nothing more than that.

"It's still far away, there is still a big gap between Niforheim and Helheim, after all, it is only a growing half-plane, and his age is only a few years old, and if he wants to become a real underworld, he needs to work harder. ”

There is a big gap between the size and age of the capital of death and Niflheim and Helheim, but the capital of death is a half-plane that can grow, and with Alice's efforts, it will accumulate all kinds of bones, souls, and blood, and one day it will grow to the level of comparable to those two underworlds, and become a living underworld that even the dead gods can accommodate.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about those things, I'll talk to you about the things in the capital of the dead when I have some free time. ”

The negative energy that pervades the City of the Dead will erode all the life that enters it, and it is a forbidden area that even demigod legends can hardly set foot in, so it is difficult for Semiramis to visit the City of Death in person, unless she can advance to become a god.

"Now, it's time for us to receive the gifts. ”

The Pale Book stopped turning the pages, and led Semiramis out of the temple to the part of the reef that was exposed to the air above the sea, where only seabirds nested, and piles of struvite stones filled the place with the smell of dung.

The small area does not hold fresh water, so there are no plants and other animals.

Shortly after the sun jumped above the sea level, it dispelled the cold of the cold wind and brought warm sunlight to the whole world.

Due to the large meteorite at that moment a few days ago, the sea surface was still in a thawed state, and the turbulent sea water kept lapping on the reef, bringing up waves all over the sky.

Winter is getting farther and farther away, and without the low temperatures, the sea water will not be able to turn into a thick layer of ice.

At this time, at the place where the sea and the sky meet in the south, a huge three-masted wooden ship is slowly heading here, and the black flag on the highest mast in the middle indicates the identity of the comer, it is a merchant ship sailing from Jutland.

Because there is no ice on the sea, Jutland is only connected to the newly established city by boat, and it is also very close to Jutland.

"What did you bring them?"

The huge merchant ship was rapidly growing in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sails blown by the wind kept the ship sailing at the fastest speed.

Semiramis asked, turning his head to the Pale Book.

"It's not the material, it's our army. ”

The Pale Book replied to Semiramis's surprise, that more of the materials needed to develop the city should be delivered than the army, such as more food, more for the construction of underwater cities, and building materials for the construction of lighthouses exposed on the sea.

"Army, we don't have any army in Jutland to operate in the sea, do we?"

After searching in his mind for a while, Semiramis had no choice but to give up, finding that he had found nothing.

There were only four troops in Jutland, and that included a giant army of thirteen, but neither centaurs, rhinoceros, nor harpys could survive in the sea, let alone fight the enemy in the sea.

"It's not our Jutland army, these are things for you, otherwise we don't know how long it will take to build this city with a few seals. ”

As the two chatted, the huge merchant ship came to him, with a steep rock wall that allowed the ship to get close to the reef, and it was only then that Semiramis realized that the ship was actually controlled by the vampire maids who were supposed to be serving Alice in Jutland.

As a vampire maid who has been educated by Alice for many years and has more or less mastered some magic, it is quite simple to just control a ship.

From the side of the ship, five or six formwork sticks out from it, combined into a wooden bridge, set up in front of the two of them, ten vampire maids bowed, appeared on the opposite side, and the remaining vampire maids, still need to keep the ship running.

"What a big surprise, Alice. ”

Semiramis waved his hand to the vampire maids, then turned to look at the Pale Book.

"I remember, Jutland don't have any extra supplies to trade with those greedy green-skinned dwarves, so how did you get me a batch of troops, a surprise?"

In Semiramis's mind, to get a group of so-called troops, then the only way Alice can rely on now is those greedy goblins, and only they will try to meet the needs of buyers for the sake of money.

After learning about the events that have taken place in the Baltic Sea (the Pale Book and the human body in Jutland share a consciousness, as if the relationship between the left hand and the right hand of the human being, and the Capital of Death, fixed on the leaves of the World Tree, controls the brains of both.) Alice knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, otherwise she would develop slowly according to the established plan and develop a blank city to the extent of Jutland now, I don't know how much time it will take, and now that she has known that the loopholes in the covenant of the gods are deliberately left by those gods, Alice and the forces below her lack the most time.

She must find a way to become a god in the shortest possible time, and only a god can protect herself in the face of all kinds of strong people, and be able to protect the two cities of Jutland and Schleswig, which have been established.

Semiramis guessed correctly, Alice really got a group of troops from those goblins who could fight immediately, because all the materials in Jutland had been replaced with tents and food to house those refugees, so this time for Semiramis, Alice had to get some good things from the capital of death for those goblins.

"You don't have to worry about this, Semiramis, don't forget the spoils of the big battles we have experienced before. ”

Don't think that the plane of the City of the Dead that only has bones, corpses, and undead is not rich, the things that Alice collected before, such as the bones collected from several battlefields in the pit of bones, can still be exchanged for a lot of good things from goblins.

Because the most casters in the north are shamans, and the bone meal made from the bones of powerful creatures is the best material for these shamans to cast spells, allowing them to release more powerful magic with less magic and at a faster speed.

This time, Alice just paid the broken bones of a giant beast that was difficult to assemble and shape, and exchanged it from the hands of those profiteers for something that satisfied her, and this can't be said who made and who lost, at least the goblins and Alice got what they wanted.

"Well, okay. ”

Semiramis accepted Alice's answer, she was still very satisfied with Alice's gift, after all, it was something Alice gave her, and it didn't matter what it was.

She was sure that Alice would not let her down

And so it turned out, Alice never let down the people she loved

The vampire maids picked up the rope placed on it from the deck, and pulled it up to the other end of the sea, and the rectangular cages left the water as the sound of the water flowing.

It was a creature with its hands and feet tied to the edge of the cage, its strong body filling each cage, its moist skin glistening in the sun, its slender mouth full of fangs, and its hateful eyes staring in the direction of Semiramis.

"What is this? This is a dolphin man?"

Semiramis asked, uncertain.

Dolphin people are a subspecies of whale people, they are weaker than the average whale man, only four-fifths the height of the whale man, and their elongated mouths allow them to eat fish and arthropods, and usually live as a family-like tribe.

They rarely stop in one place because they need to chase migratory fish to get food, just like the nomads on land, who have many habitats as the seasons change.

"Yes, dolphin people. ”

"Dolphin people from the Bay of Biscay further south, I asked those goblins to find me some whale people, but they didn't expect them to find me dolphin people, those short guys can really take advantage of the loopholes in the contract. ”

The Dolphin People are also a member of the Whale People, so the Goblins are not in breach of the purchase contract with Alice.

"Well, dolphin people are dolphin people, at least much more useful than those seal people. ”

Semiramis shrugged, not bothered by these minor issues, as seals are better suited to building and breeding than fighting, so she will have to look for a race that can play a combat role later.

"Five hundred dolphin people, those goblins have drilled holes, but they still give me some compensation in terms of numbers. ”

Of course, the goblins have to compensate, they do like money, and they like to exploit the loopholes of those contracts, but they will also cherish their lives, especially the trade partner [Calamity Girl]

The case of dissatisfaction has been clearly expressed.

"Alice, you don't just buy people and don't think about equipment, do you? ”

Seeing these controlled, immobile dolphin people, with only the seaweed skirt around his waist, Semiramis couldn't help but ask.

Even simple bone weapons can have a decisive effect on combat effectiveness, and at least one armed adult can defeat two other unarmed enemies, and this number can be increased if that adult is still wearing armor.

"The weapons are iron-clad spears that have been treated with anti-corrosion treatment, and shell armor made of shells from some of the goblins that have been sent. ”

Because of the rush of time, Alice can only provide such rudimentary weapons, and in order to adapt to the salty sea, these weapons must be treated with special grease on the surface to prevent corrosion, and in the future, they also need regular maintenance, otherwise these metal weapons will soon rust due to the erosion of salt in the sea.

"Mistress Semiramis, this is what Mistress Alice wants me to give you. ”

The vampire maid at the head saw that the conversation between the two was over for a moment, and she stepped forward to salute, and then took out a stack of magic contracts from her bosom.

This is the most important thing used to restrain these dolphin people, without which they may have launched an attack on the so-called new owner as soon as they were let go.

And the reason why the slave contract was not signed like Alice and the Cyclops brothers was because the signing of the slave contract would be a burden on the soul, and no one would choose that contract unless it was unnecessary.

Because Alice's lessons from the past have been laid out there, the impulse of your youth back then made Alice laugh at this black history for a long time.

"No, I don't need any of that. ”

Semiramis waved her hand to pull the vampire maid back, her eyes resting on the prisoners in the dripping cages.

"But ......"

The vampire maid hesitated for a while, she wanted to say something, but when she saw Semiramis's gaze, she suddenly shuddered and retreated cautiously, as a maid who had served Semiramis for a long time, these vampires knew the horror of the girl in black in front of them, even if it was against Alice's order, they didn't dare to make Semiramis dissatisfied, because the horror of the two was not on the same level at all.

Even if she made a mistake, Alice would only criticize a few words, but if it was replaced by Semiramis, a whip would definitely be inevitable, and if she was even more unlucky, she would be put on the balcony by Semiramis to enjoy a bath of positive energy.

Although they will not die in that way, the intense pain will still make these girls, who were only delicate human beings before, understand what kind of pain is, and remind them of their education in the goblin Charleer.

Ignoring the fears of the vampire maids, Semiramis walked up to the dolphin people and began to talk to them with her mouth closed, as the daughter of the fish god, she could communicate with all the sea creatures without any obstacles.

With Semiramis's crisp voice, the hostility of the dolphin people quickly dissipated, and even the hatred in his eyes disappeared, and after thirty minutes, Semiramis turned around and asked the vampire maid to release the dolphin people, and also asked them to take out a large amount of food from the cabin for the dolphins to enjoy.
