Chapter 157: Treasure Appreciation
Du Shen brought the captured Kuru back to the Ridge of Death. Du Shen, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", knew that Kuru's spirit had been manipulated by the evil god. Even Kuru was willing, and couldn't say anything about the evil god of pain. Therefore, since the beginning of the capture of Kulu, Du Shen has not interrogated him.
On the contrary, it was Kuru, chattering endlessly, constantly trying to talk to Du Shen in order to obtain information. Du Shen naturally ignored it. After Du Shen's reminder, the wizard in charge of guarding Kuru remained silent. Kuru couldn't talk, and he was unwilling to talk to himself.
Du Shen used the Nai He Zhu to examine Kuru's body. Kuru's physical attributes at this time, around 25 points, are just right to be used as the fifth monster template. It should be known that at level 5 of Nai Zhu Zhu, the attributes of the template can only reach a maximum of 25 points.
However, Du Shen was very unwilling. Du Shen attaches great importance to Kulu, mainly because of the other party's flying ability. With Du Shen's strength at this time, the monster with 25 attributes is no longer of great use. What's more, Kuru's strength is only low because of his physical injuries. If it takes some time to recuperate, Du Shen estimates that the average attribute of Kuru is in the early 30s.
Although there are many undead creatures in the world with suitable attributes, there are few suitable for use as templates. With the right attributes, there are even fewer undead creatures with excellent skills and talents.
Du Shen believes that the conditions of Kulu are indeed relatively rare. First of all, Kulu's attributes are relatively high, which is convenient for Du Shen to concoct him to adapt to the needs of the template. Second, Kuru can fly and isn't afraid of sunlight like most vampires. Moreover, after testing, Kuru is also relatively resistant to positive energy.
With such superior conditions, Du Shen intends to use Kuru as the sixth monster template. Right now, the difficulty becomes how to take Nai He Zhu to the next level.
With Du Shen's strength and power at this time, although he has a lot of resources, he also has the means to snatch more resources. The problem is, no matter how many resources there are, the key is to be able to apply.
is similar to the dilemma faced by Du Shen to improve his strength before. Based on the memories of Du Shen's previous life, of course he knew that there were still many opportunities and treasures in the Manluo world. However, those chances and treasures, get rid of them only for wizards. Either the energy level is too low, and it doesn't help Du Shen much. Either the energy level is too high, not only can it not be digested at this time, but the risk of wanting to succeed is also extremely high.
But the dilemma of Zhu escalation is like this. Du Shen put together a lot of plans and auxiliary materials through various channels. However, the main materials needed to expand from level 5 to level 6 could not be found for a while. Du Shen traced his memories over and over again, but he couldn't find his eyebrows.
Du Shen thought about it for the last time and felt that he still had to rely on the temple. Not to mention the fact that several temples have a long heritage, and their own inventory is abundant. The temple rules the world, and it can also be searched from the nobles and nobles.
Du Shen sent a secret envoy to liaise with the temple. The envoy informed the Temple that Du Shen wanted to trade Kuru for treasures.
The temple was skeptical that Du Shen could foresee the future. Earlier, Du Shen captured Kuru and made a fuss. The temple not only believed a few points, but also learned more about the existence of vampires.
You know, there may have been vampires in the ancient world of Manlo, but there are absolutely none in the modern era. On the one hand, the temple is curious about legendary creatures. On the other hand, the temple also wanted to take the opportunity to torture the news of the evil god from Kuru's mouth in order to verify the truth of Du Shen's account of the future. Therefore, there was a certain intent within the temple regarding transactions.
The problem was that Du Shen insisted that he would not hand over Kuru to the Temple until he had obtained the treasure he wanted. And the treasure that Du Shen wants is not a specific object, but a bunch of relatively rough nature conditions. Du Shen asked the temple to hand over the treasures that met the requirements to him for identification. Du Shen would pick one or two of them he liked and bargain with the temple.
"Is there such a deal?" The temple elders were furious as they heard the secret envoy's description. Almost every elder doubted Du Shen's sincerity because of this, worried that Du Shen was just trying to snatch a batch of temple treasures.
The envoy earnestly proposed: "Let's take our time." The temple can use a portal to bring the treasures one by one to our lord for identification. There is no need to identify a large number of treasures at once. We can slowly identify them one by one at indefinite intervals. ”
The secret envoy's statement made all the elders stunned. This way, it sounds sincere and relatively safe. But it's too much trouble! Besides, the cost of the portal is not to mention. The temple presented the treasures to Du Shen one by one for appreciation. Where is the dignity of the temple placed?
Naturally, the first group of secret envoys sent by Du Shen returned in failure.
Du Shen was not disappointed either. He divided his subordinates into two teams. The first team rode in airships and attacked the key points of the Temple. The second team traveled through the teleportation system to visit the nobles in various places.
The first team of wizards is ruthless. Although they spared the lowly civilians and ordinary knights, they slew the elemental envoys to the fullest. This team of wizards did not attack, constantly sniping at the living forces of the temple, focusing on harassing the cardinals and vital points of the temple.
The second team of wizards is more restrained. Before each action, an emissary visits the target alone. The envoy explained his purpose to the nobles, saying that he was looking for a certain treasure and would be rewarded. At the same time, the characteristics of the treasure found are attached, and the great nobles are required to prepare the treasure so that the wizard can find it.
At first, the great nobles were annoyed and resolutely refused. The wizards had no choice but to visit violently, killing and injuring countless people, forcing the great nobles to submit.
After a few violent visits, the wizards asked Du Shen to adjust his actions slightly. On the one hand, they gave specific high rewards, such as a large number of gold coins, materials, and even Du Shen's help. On the other hand, the wizards hyped up the fate of the previous great lords: if they did not take the initiative to cooperate, they would inevitably be forced by the wizards by force. Eventually, not only will they give in, but they will also have their fingers or ears cut off.
After that, the nobles who encountered the visit of the second team of wizards, although they felt humiliated, no one forcibly refused. Many nobles were dissatisfied, and they only dared to deliberately find some relatively ordinary treasures to perfunctory wizards.
Naturally, the wizards were aware of it. But they followed Du Shen's instructions and pretended not to know, so as not to force people too much.
The two teams of wizards have tens of thousands of people. They are non-stop. The temple is becoming more and more disgraced.
The first team of wizards killed the core power of the Temple. Not only did the temple lose blood, but it also damaged its reputation.
The second group of wizards had consequences that the Temple did not expect. Time passes. As a certain nobleman takes the initiative to cooperate with the wizard to find the treasure. As a reward, the wizard took the initiative to solve the opponent for the nobleman. More and more nobles welcome the visit of the wizard and take the initiative to cooperate with the wizard to find treasures.
Later, some nobles even took the initiative to try to contact the wizard and invited the wizard to come and check their treasure house. Even those nobles who had been strongly visited by wizards before, but dealt with them perfunctorily. They also sent messengers to contact the sorcerer with a shy reply, saying: "My master has recently collected a large number of treasures. There were a few of them that looked like treasures that the Lord was looking for. I wonder if you can send someone to come and inspect it?"
The impact of the two Black Blade legions made the Templars unable to sit still.
When Du Shen sent a messenger for the third time, he told the temple: "As long as the temple holds a transaction." Our lord immediately summons all the wizards. The Templars agreed.
Of course, Du Shen knew that the temple had not lost its will to resist. The temple was simply trying to stall for time and gather strength. Du Shen summoned the wizards and told them to explore the ruins. Wizards have learned the sorcery of spotting the undead. Du Shen hopes to use them to find the fifth monster template.
That night, Du Shen passed through the Tide Gate and arrived from the Ridge of Death to a wilderness in the territory of the Holy Thunder Empire. There are several tents in the wilderness. Du Shen saw the figure of Sandra and the other elders.
Du Shen greeted politely and never mentioned recent practices. Sandra and the other elders maintained basic politeness despite their displeasure.
Sandra and the others really had no intention of chatting with Du Shen. Du Shen didn't care. Treasure appreciation activities are quietly unfolding. Sandra and the others took out all kinds of treasures from the storage props and placed them on the table. They are divided into groups of five treasures, and the whole group rotates.
At the beginning, the treasures were basically of low value. Du Shen swept his eyes and laughed: "A few elders are too cautious? Are you afraid that I will rob them? You should have heard of the experience of those great nobles, right? My subordinates have found a lot of dusty treasures in their treasure houses. It was because I was worried that there would be a misunderstanding that I didn't force the trade. ”
Sandra put away the multicolored gems in front of her and snorted coldly, "How did I hear that your subordinates have stolen a lot of good things from the treasury of those nobles?"
"It's just a rumor," Du Shen waved his hand disapplausively, "Although my subordinates did get a few items from the nobles, they were all traded at a high price. They are all willing to communicate with each other. ”
"Really?" said Montagu, his face gloomy, obviously unbelieving, "How did I hear that many of the things you took from the nobles were taken for nothing?"
Du Shen was upright, and patted his chest lightly: "That's someone slandering! Elder Montagu, if any nobleman feels wronged, he feels that he was robbed by a wizard for nothing." Bring him here. Whatever he loses, I will return it and compensate for it immediately!"
Montague Stopper. Those nobles are all grass on the wall, and they are only afraid that they can't wait to be close to Du Shen now. Indeed, there are nobles who give their treasures to wizards for nothing. But if Montague really brought them. These nobles are afraid that not only will they not ask Du Shen for it, but they will also give gifts to Du Shen.
Said saw Montagu frozen on the spot. He opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Let's continue to identify the treasures!" Du Shen, what do you really want?
Du Shen smiled and said apologetically: "I don't want to trouble everyone either." Just looking for a material, not a specific treasure. The materials are rare, and they can only be troubled by a few elders to continue to display. ”
Said sighed and took the treasure from the storage bracelet again and placed it on the table.
