Chapter 158: A Visit from the Wizarding Order
The 260,000 secret stones in the cumulative gifts of various countries are equivalent to being picked up, and there is no need for An Baichen to make any contributions.
This also made An Baichen feel the heritage of the Eske continent even more.
Although the Eske Continent is only a level 1 world, after all, this is also a complete world, and the heritage contained in it must be very powerful!
Maybe the secret stone reserves of a small country and a small territory are not enough, but the secret stone reserves of the countries of the entire Eske continent together are enough for the undead world to digest for a long time.
The envoys of various countries left the Sand City one after another in the next half month, and An Baichen did not immediately start to create undead for the countries of the Eske Continent, after all, they had not even sent the secret stone.
Paying money in one hand and delivering goods in the other hand is the most basic common sense of trading.
The envoys of various countries went back to inform the news of the success of the negotiations, and then the kings of each country thought about how many undead to buy, and the time it took to go back and forth on the road, how to say that it would take more than a month.
Because the right to trade in the undead has already been obtained, there is no need to use precious wizard potions and methods to send people to forcibly rush to the Sand City.
It is enough to send a normal army to escort the trading team, and based on the footsteps of the normal trading caravan, if you count the farthest countries on the road, the entire process of the undead trade may take more than two months.
Although the number of undead purchased by each country has not yet been determined, An Baichen estimates that even the weakest countries will most likely grit their teeth and buy at least a hundred undead.
If it is a top-notch kingdom like Snow Lord, I am afraid that more than 2,000 undead will be purchased at one time.
Counting the number of undead traded by each country and the number of secret stones, there is no doubt that this will be another windfall!
After the last emissaries of various countries left the Sand City, new news came from the City of the Dead.
Baron Edra and Garcia personally led a caravan to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Ruins, to find the location of the secret stone veins discovered by Garcia through prophecy.
Garcia told Edra that if this practice was successful, it would represent a new breakthrough in the discipline of wizarding prophecy!
"Edla, let me tell you, if I really discover the secret stone vein, it means that my prophecy has risen to a new level! I will become the best prophecy wizard in this thousand years!"
Faced with an agitated Garcia, Edra felt nothing.
He didn't care about any breakthrough in prophecy, he only cared if there was a secret stone vein in the place Garcia said?
Seven days later, the news officially came.
There is indeed a secret stone vein in the hinterland of the Russen Kingdom!
Although this is only a vein of Secret Stone with a small size and reserves, it means that Garcia's prophecy has succeeded.
Garcia burst into tears with excitement, kneeling in front of the secret stone vein and kissing the earth frantically: "I broke through! I finally broke through! I realized the truth of prophecy!"
The discovery of the City of the Dead shocked the Kingdom of the Dead, but the king of the Kingdom of Xusen did not make any changes.
Maybe it's because of the Guardian of the Dead that Edra carries with him, or maybe it's because he's a king who keeps his promises.
In short, the Kingdom of Ruin Sen acquiesced in the actions and actions of the City of the Dead to mine new ore veins.
Relieved by Edla, he left behind a team of undead warriors as guards, as well as a team of mining skeletons.
In order to ensure the safety of the Secret Stone, Edra chose a high-ranking member of the City of the Dead to stay and make him a Summoner of the Undead.
Once the Secret Stone Vein accumulates to a certain level, it will be sacrificed to the Reaper on the spot, and no other operations will be performed, so as to avoid the occurrence of the Secret Stone Vein being snatched and stolen to the greatest extent.
After all this was done, Edra was relieved to leave the location of the newly discovered secret stone vein.
The reason why I went back in such a hurry was all because of Garcia.
"Hurry back, I need to further strengthen and experiment with my prophecy! I'm sure I'll find more veins of secret stones!"
"You can predict the location of the secret stone veins, but without the order of Lord Death, you are absolutely not allowed to divulge the specific location of these veins, and you can't send people to mine these secret stone veins without permission!"
"I know, I just want to hurry back and do a few experiments!"
Garcia sighed, "It's disappointing that you treat me like an outsider now." ”
Garcia is very aggrieved, how can I say that he is also an undead summoner who has paid soul fragments, everyone is his own person, why don't you treat me as a human being?
Edra was silent, he didn't know how to comfort a poor man.
He simply ignored Garcia and left Garcia alone to be sad and sad.
In the following period of time, the city of the dead entered a period of relatively calm development, and the Eske continent gradually calmed down, without the undercurrent of the situation like last month.
"I really want to conquer the Eske continent quickly, I now have so much undead aura and world lifespan but I can't upgrade the undead world, it's really sad. An Baichen looked at the huge amount of money in the world of the dead and sighed alone.
Ever since he found out that there were candidates for the Reaper besides himself, he had felt a lot of pressure.
Although it is currently speculated that the undead world he has mastered is unique, this does not mean that other Grim Reaper candidates do not have the means to strengthen themselves.
Human wisdom is endless, not to mention that the Fragment of Godhead is far more powerful than the world of the dead.
The world of the dead requires construction and management to have a lot of power, but Godhead Shards have much lower requirements because they are inherently powerful.
Every time he thought of the fragments of Godhead being lost, An Baichen felt bad in his heart.
I can't eat well, and I fall asleep when I sleep.
I always feel that my baby is lying in someone else's hands, and it feels really bad.
"No, we have to find something to do. An Baichen rolled over and got out of bed, he felt that he needed to create a batch of undead in case of emergency.
The world of the undead cannot be upgraded at present, the level of the undead cannot be increased, and the research on the transformation of skeleton souls has fallen into a bottleneck period, and now the number of undead can only be increased.
In the next few days, An Baichen invested 3 million points of undead breath to create three kinds of undead, namely level 1 special skeletons, level 1 special ghosts, and level 1 special zombies, for a total of 3,000 level 1 special undead.
There are still more than three million undead breaths left, and An Baichen has not yet figured out how to use them.
It was at this time that the Kingdom of Ruin sent an emissary to contact the Sand City.
The king of the Kingdom of Xusen wants to make a second undead trade and wants to fill the vacancy of undead warriors in the country.
Nigel told An Baichen the good news: "Lord Death, the Ruin Forest Kingdom is coming to buy the undead again, I heard that they plan to form a new military formation in the country this time, and specially build a group of undead legions as a standing military force. ”
"How many undead warriors are they going to buy this time?"
"The messenger of the kingdom of Xusen said that they would buy as many undead as they could. ”
"So magnanimous?"
An Baichen smiled dumbly.
Then An Baichen pondered and thought, it was not unreasonable for the Xusen Kingdom to do this.
Obviously, the king of the Russen Kingdom is a very bold man, and he has a long-term vision, and he can see the profound influence of the undead on the continent of Esker in the future.
The envoys of various countries had only left the Sand City not long ago, and at this time, the Ruin Forest Kingdom suddenly made a trade request, which must have been to grab a larger number of undead warriors before the countries had officially traded with the City of the Undead.
Although the countries on the continent of Eske do not know how many undead there are in the City of the Dead, what if the number of undead in the City of the Dead is limited?
Isn't that first-come, first-served?
The king of the Rusen Kingdom believes that when all countries have enough undead power, then the next struggle between countries will definitely be dominated by knights and undead, and the ordinary army will gradually withdraw from the stage of military deterrence.
Only by mastering enough undead warriors may be able to create more benefits and opportunities for their country in the future.
This is like a nuclear deterrent on Earth.
I don't really need to go to war with you, but my country has more undead warriors than you, so you will unconsciously become cowardly in the contact and negotiation of many things.
Because you are afraid that I will attack you desperately, and you don't have enough confidence to win against me.
The Kingdom of Russen doesn't know if this is the future development trend of the countries of the Eske continent, but at least for now, it doesn't hurt to master more undead warriors.
At least in the face of other countries, mastering more undead warriors can ensure their own military strength and deterrence by force.
At present, many countries on the continent of Eske are still wary and tentative about the City of the Dead, and they have suspected that the City of the Dead has the highest control over the undead.
If you buy the undead on a large scale, then you will undoubtedly hand over the military security of your country to the city of the undead, and you will inevitably be subject to the city of the dead at that time.
Although there is no evidence for this, most kings have this in mind, so they must carefully consider the number of undead to procure.
It won't buy too many undead, but it's not too little to cause itself to lose its competitiveness in the fight against other countries.
An Baichen could also guess the thoughts of some of the countries on the Eske continent, so he kept the city of the dead in a passive defensive posture and a peaceful attitude, constantly sending friendly signals independent of all national fighting systems.
An Baichen did this in order to constantly weaken the vigilance of the countries against the city of the dead, so that they could use the undead warriors with confidence.
This truth is like on the earth, you know that a certain country is very likely to have surveillance methods for fruit mobile phones, but as long as he does not really use this means, you will still use it with suspicion.
Because if you don't use it, others will use it.
The Kingdom of the Dead is much more frank on this point, the king of the Kingdom of the Dead knows that he has a holiday with the City of the Dead, even if the City of the Dead is really going to destroy the Kingdom of the Dead, he has no resistance.
Then it's better to simply let go of the use of undead warriors.
At least it can ensure that the Ruin Forest Kingdom can have more and greater advantages in the competition with other countries, even if there is a conspiracy to open the undead trading market in the City of the Dead in the end, but it is a big deal that he will continue to bow to the City of the Dead and make compromises and concessions.
If I'm the boss of the City of the Dead, I can at least be the second, right? You must know that the Russen Kingdom is currently in the top ten in the entire Eske Continent, and the overall national strength level is not even among the top ten.
An Baichen guessed that this should be the current general idea of the Xusen Kingdom.
"Lord Death, are we going to continue to sell the undead to the Ruinson Kingdom?"
"Sell, why not, as long as they have enough secret stones. ”
"So how much do we sell?"
"Three thousand. ”
An Baichen said without hesitation, he happened to create three thousand new level 1 special undead, and he felt that the Rusen Kingdom could eat these three thousand undead, which was almost emptying his own secret stone inventory.
Even if the Rusen Kingdom had just obtained the treasury wealth of the Desolate Kingdom, three thousand undead would be enough for the Ruin Forest Kingdom to digest it for a while.
If you want to buy more undead, the Ruin Forest Kingdom will inevitably choose to continue its military expansion and plunder other countries' secret stone stocks through war.
Then use the newly obtained secret stones to continue to purchase undead to enrich and improve military strength, and then expand.
This is a virtuous circle for the Kingdom of Ruins, and it is also the most correct way to use the undead. For An Baichen, he is happy to see the belligerent side of the Russen Kingdom, which will make the countries of the Esker continent more deeply aware of the horror of the undead warriors, thereby promoting the number of undead trades, and speeding up An Baichen's plan to conquer the Esque continent.
"Alright, Lord Death, I'm going to inform the Ruin Forest Kingdom and let them prepare enough secret stones. Nigel took the initiative to cut off contact, and he is now extremely motivated with every order given by Amberson.
From a small businessman to a high-level external official in the city of the dead, this status is no less noble than the lord of a country, and is deeply respected and favored by various countries and forces.
Nigel is content now, he just wants to do a good job for Lord Death, and try to maintain his hard-won identity.
Just after Nigel cut off contact, Edra soon brought new news.
"Lord Death, the City of the Dead has a guest!"
"Who are the guests?"
An Baichen was a little puzzled, the geographical location of the City of the Dead has not been exposed, and the only country that can grasp the specific address and location of the City of the Dead is the Xusen Kingdom, because the location of Edla's territory has been recorded in the royal family of the Xusen Kingdom.
But the Kingdom of the Ruins and the City of the Dead are now in their honeymoon period, and they should not be stupid enough to expose the location of the City of the Dead, which would offend the City of the Dead.
In the face of Amberson's inquiry, Baron Edla's voice was a little hoarse and nervous.
"It's a group of wizards from Snowy Night Castle. ”
Edla's words also made An Baichen's expression change slightly.
What should have come is still coming.
As the top power group on the Eske continent, this group of wizards will officially start contact with the City of the Dead.
