Chapter 3: The Bone Keep

Under the guidance of Wright and other necromancers, two thousand skeletons occupied a tomb one by one, drilled into it, and found that there was a protrusion in the position of the hip bone in the tomb, which could just support the hip bone, so that the lower body did not need to carry the weight of the entire body, although the skeletons did not weigh together.

Seeing these small details, one of the necromancers couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of a steel bone collar, it is a profession." ”

"Hehe, praise and praise, this is all the wisdom of my king, and all honors are supreme. As he spoke, Mobuck turned and bowed to the south.

Everyone couldn't help but complain secretly.

After settling the accompanying skeletons, the necromancers walked down the hill as a carriage clicked by, towing two sturdy bone horses.

"Please get on board, distinguished guests. "Mobuck invited.

Wright and the others had a difficult face, why didn't they take a carriage all the way over? Could it be that the mage tower couldn't afford to raise horses? Of course not, but because there was no road, no skeletons to carry comfortably.

There is no road outside, and the road of the steel collar can be imagined, don't you have the skeletons stepping on one mark at a time, wouldn't you have to turn their out when you ride in a carriage?

Seeing the hesitation on their faces, Mobuck said with a smile: "Don't worry, VIPs, the steel bone collar has been building the road since last year, and the road to the bone fortress has been repaired in a month, and the road is in very good condition." ”

A necromancer subconsciously shouted: "Impossible, it will be repaired in a month? It's two hundred kilometers from here to the Bone Keep, right? Unless it's a path that has been stepped on." ”

Shoulder-to-shoulder wants to build a 200-kilometer road that can lead to carriages, unless dozens of earth-based archmages don't stop day and night, it is impossible to repair it within a month, can there be dozens of earth-based archmages in the steel bone collar?

The Necromancer may be able to make it up, but it is absolutely impossible for other departments.

In the face of doubts, Mobuck was not angry, and lifted the window and said: "You can take a look, it is not a small road that has been stepped on, we have a billion skeletons in the steel skeleton collar, and it is too simple to build a road, my king has an order, and the road that can pass the carriage level must connect every corner of the steel skeleton collar." ”

The group got into the carriage and opened the windows to poke their heads out, only to hear a series of small trotters of horses' hooves, and the carriage started slowly.

The carriage was not fast, but it was unusually stable, and Wright poked his head out, only to see that there was a row of curved iron plates between the wheels and the carriage, which kept deforming with the ups and downs of the carriage, thus counteracting this undulation and making the carriage more stable.

"Is this a shock absorber?" Wright saw the effect of these iron pieces at a glance, and his heart was even more shocked, because there were so many horse-drawn carriage manufacturers on the mainland, luxurious, practical, and simple, all kinds of things, but no one had ever thought of using a shock absorber to increase the comfort of the carriage.

Where did you buy a carriage with a steel bone collar, and what is there with such advanced concepts and technologies?

"Yes, this is also the great invention of my king, there was no shock absorption device before, and the carriage transported a cart of skeletons to shake up most of the frame, now it's good, it's difficult to even find a dislocation, my king is wise, and the glory is the highest. Mobuck said proudly.

Wright almost choked on his own saliva: "This... This is the invention of His Majesty the King of Steel and Bones? This carriage was produced by you?"

Isn't this a steel skeleton collar? a territory of the undead, and can you still produce carriages? Is there such an industrial base here?

Don't look at the carriage has no mechanical structure, but it is not easy to produce it, if you want to produce the carriage, at least steel or iron carriage frame and wheels, if you don't need to bear the load, you can use wooden carriage and wooden wheels, but even if it is made of wood, you need at least a tree, right?

The steel bone collar does not grow an inch of grass, and even if there are trees, they have already been cut down, where is the material to make carriages and wheels?

Even if the materials were to be obtained from somewhere else, it would take a skilled craftsman to make the spokes, and would there be such a creature as a craftsman in the steel bone collar?

Then Wright thought of another question: "Can steel be produced by steel collars?"

Hearing this question, Mobuck was naturally full of pride: "Of course, under the leadership of our king, our steel bone collar has successfully refined steel. ”

Mobuck was indeed proud, what was the situation of the steel bone collar before? barren land, barren land, dead land, except for the undead, there is nothing to survive here, let alone steel, not even a grain of rice can grow.

Everything has changed since His Majesty woke up from his slumber a year ago, and now he can produce steel, and although Mobuck doesn't know what steel can do to the undead, His Majesty's expectations are what they are fighting for.

However, when he thought of His Majesty's expectations, Mobuck couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, His Majesty hoped that the territory would be lively, but in the past year, there was not a single living person in the territory, just relying on them, these pure-hearted lich undead, where could they be lively?

Fortunately, Wright and the others came, and the territory could finally be lively for a while.

Mobuck's words made Wright and the others suspicious, less surprised, more suspicious. A necromancer asked, "How did you solve the fuel problem?"

Wright and the others are necromancers who can't make iron, but they also know that iron smelting requires fuel, and there is not a single tree in the steel bone collar, how can they burn carbon?

"My king is wise, and he has found a stone that can be burned, and this stone is better for making iron than charcoal. Mobuck laughed.

"Stones, stones that can be burned?" Wright and the others looked at each other, this was beyond their comprehension, and the questioning suddenly could not continue.

But at this moment, something else attracted their attention, and the carriage had now turned onto a wide stone road, which could pass four carriages side by side, the surface was grayish-white, like a rock, but it was unusually smooth, and the carriage galloped on it, and there was not a trace of bumps.

"This ...... This...... This is the road you spent a month building?" Wright asked, looking at the stone road that stretched to the end of the horizon in a trembling tone, half of his body was about to get out of the window.

Wright had been to other countries before, but he had never seen such a wide and smooth stone path, even the royal road in front of the palace that was carefully leveled by the earth archmage was definitely not so smooth, and it was full of potholes after a long period of use.

The other necromancers also had hellish expressions on their faces, and if there was such a road, it would be so comfortable for them to come by carriage all the way.

Everyone's expressions greatly satisfied Mobuck's vanity, and he boasted in a low-key manner: "It's nothing, after all, we have a billion skeletons in the steel bone collar, and it's trivial to build a road." My king's meaning is to build three vertical and three horizontal roads in the steel bone collar, running through the entire territory, this road leads directly to the bone fort, which was named the bone avenue by our king. ”

A group of necromancers opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say, the steel bone collar is not a small place, there are thousands of kilometers from north to south, and eight or nine hundred kilometers from east to west, and six stone roads of thousands of kilometers must be built, even the most powerful empires on the continent dare not dream of this.

But on second thought, the King of Steelbones has a billion skeletons under his command, and it doesn't seem that it can't be done, when Mobuck first mentioned a billion skeletons, everyone thought he was bragging, but now, they really feel the weight of this number.

The carriage galloped along the Avenue of Bones, and five hours later, the Bone Fortress was in sight.
