Chapter 79: I'm a Valued Member
An Baichen frowned, and he began to open the computer to record his plan, the same deletion and modification.
The status of the undead summoners is special, and it takes some detailed arrangements and plans to control them.
Just as An Baichen was making a plan, he suddenly felt someone standing behind him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
An Baichen looked back.
Yan Yumo happened to look at An Baichen with a smile: "Lord Death, can you dine?"
"Why do you walk like a ghost without a sound!"
An Baichen rolled his eyes, and Yan Yumo said innocently: "People are ghosts in the first place." ”
After saying this, Yan Yumo raised her hand and pointed to the wall clock on the wall, and said coquettishly: "It's already 11 o'clock in the evening, are you still planning to eat?"
An Baichen glanced at the time, and then looked at the table full of dishes, he could finally understand why Yan Yumo suddenly pinched his throat and spoke, this was deliberately squeezing him.
"Dine and dine!"
An Baichen hurriedly stood up, walked to the dining table and sat down, and said with a smile: "It's really too hard for Miss Yan to cook for the widow so late. ”
"If I don't eat it, I won't be disappointed by your good intentions. ”
"Hmph, Flim Flam. ”
Yan Yumo returned to normal and stretched out her hand to An Baichen: "Bring it." ”
"What's that?"
An Baichen looked at Yan Yumo with a confused face.
Yan Yumo glared at An Baichen: "Snacks! My sister has no rations!"
The old lady worked so hard to cook for you, wasn't it just for those bags of snacks?
An Baichen turned his head to look over, and Xiao Xiaoshu was lying on the armrest of the sofa, looking at himself pitifully. Big eyes, full of cravings for snacks.
"Well, I've been so busy these days, I've forgotten about it. ”
An Baichen laughed and hurriedly made a new undead snack. Looking at the snacks piled up on the coffee table, Xiao Xiaoshu couldn't help but cheer happily: "Big brother is the best!"
Yan Yumo was satisfied with Xiao Xiaoshu, as long as her sister was happy, she was willing to do anything.
"Yan Yumo, may I discuss something with you?" An Baichen suddenly thought of a good idea, and he beckoned to Yan Yumo while eating.
Yan Yumo sat next to An Baichen and asked, "What's the matter?"
"There's one thing I need you to do for me. ”
An Baichen looked at Yan Yumo with a smile, he felt that he had found a suitable candidate.
Yan Yumo can become a qualified spokesperson, she herself is the undead of the undead world, she is the servant of the god of death, An Baichen has absolute control over her, and she is completely loyal to herself.
The most precious thing is that she has a wisdom far beyond that of other undead, and she can help herself restrain the undead summoners.
Yan Yumo asked, "Is it difficult?"
"It's not difficult, it's simple. ”
An Baichen put down the bowl and began to explain his plan to Yan Yumo.
......
Early the next morning, Nigel had just returned to the Chamber of Commerce from the tavern when he heard news from someone.
"Vice President, Mr. Edra has asked you to come and say that there is something important to discuss with you. ”
"Good. ”
Although Nigel was a little confused, he readily agreed.
He didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he got into the carriage and rushed to the hotel where Edra was.
After a brief pleasantries, Nigel and Edra sat down.
Maybe it's because of the friendly conversation between the two yesterday, or maybe it's because everyone is now the Summoner of the Dead, Nigel feels that Edra is much friendlier to him today.
At least now he can sit here instead of standing and talking like he did before.
"Mr. Edla. ”
Nigel smiled and asked, "Is there something you're looking for me?"
Nigel was a man of great propriety, and his attitude towards Edra remained deferential and humble.
"Lord Death, tell me that you have become a summoner of the dead?" Edra looked into Nigel's eyes, although Lord Death was not by his side now, Edra was no longer afraid of Nigel.
Now everyone is their own people, what is there to be afraid of.
"Yes. ”
Nigel nodded and said, "Thanks to Mr. Edra for giving me the opportunity, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to become an undead summoner." ”
"I'm just giving you a chance to succeed in getting Lord Death's approval to become a summoner of the dead, or it's all up to you. ”
Baron Edra took a sip of water and asked casually, "Lord Death can provide us with a lot of undead, many of which can be used for different purposes, have you started summoning the undead?"
"Not yet. ”
Nigel shook his head with a wry smile: "I looked for a night of sacrifice yesterday, and I found that I didn't have anything of value other than gold coins. ”
"Lord Death doesn't like gold. ”
Baron Edra smiled dumbly: "You don't think that with some gold coins, you can make a deal with the gods, do you?"
"Of course I wouldn't be so stupid. ”
Nigel sighed and said, "It's just that I really can't find enough sacrifices, and even if I send my men to buy the sacrifices that Lord Death is interested in, it will take a long time. ”
"It seems that you are now distressed about the sacrifice, my friend. ”
"Yes, Mr. Edla. ”
Nigel's heart moved, he looked at Edella's smiling appearance, and couldn't help but blurt out and ask, "Mr. Edla, is there any way you can help me?"
"Of course. ”
Edra nodded happily, "I can help you with the offerings." ”
Edra put down the teacup in her hand, pointed to the courtyard outside the gate, and said, "Do you see my secret stone?This is one of the sacrifices granted by Lord Death, you can't find a suitable sacrifice to summon the undead, but I offer these secret stones to you as a sacrifice to summon the undead." ”
"Really?"
Nigel was pleasantly surprised, and then he asked, "Mr. Edla, what do you need me to do?"
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and as a businessman, Nigel knows better that Edra will not help him for no reason.
"I do want to make a deal with you. ”
Edra said calmly, "I will provide you with the secret stones you need to summon the undead, and you need to help me build my territory." ”
"You're a lord?"
"Of course, but my territory is deep in the Gobi. ”
In order to improve his identity and compulsion, Edra hesitated for a while and explained: "This is not only my territory, but also one of the strongholds of Lord Death in the Iske continent. I need to build a territory to provide a comfortable home for the Callers of the Dead. ”
Edra felt that he was now an agent of the Grim Reaper, and he felt that he should have no problem doing things under the guise of Lord Death.
Nigel analyzed a message from Edra's words that Lord Death had more than just the two undead summoners.
In other words, Lord Death will have more undead summoners in the future.
Nigel lowered his head and pondered, he had some simple understanding of the advantages and characteristics of the undead, just in terms of his current understanding of the undead, Nigel felt that the advantages of the undead summoner on the Esker continent were unmatched.
Regardless of how many undead summoners Lord Death has under his command right now, it will always be beneficial to participate in it in advance.
"Don't you want to?"
"Mr. Edla, I am willing to make this deal with you. ”
Nigel hurriedly said: "It's just that I have some questions I want to ask you, you know that I have just become an undead summoner, and there are still many things that I don't know about the undead." ”
"I don't have as much place as you, and I hope you can teach me something about the undead. ”
Nigel looked at Edra very sincerely, and in his words raised Edla's status to that of his predecessors.
This guy obviously didn't make a fool of himself, but what he said was very comfortable.
Edra felt that he needed to set an example for his predecessors as an agent of Lord Death, and he nodded happily, "What's wrong with you?"
Nigel took the opportunity to ask Edra a lot about the characteristics and advantages of the undead, and he compared what Edra had said with what he had found in the texts.
Edra didn't know much, he had only been in contact with skeleton undead so far, but the infinite physical strength and tireless nature of skeletons alone had already staggered Nigel.
In particular, Edra said that the lowest-level skeleton warriors were stronger than the low-level knights, which made Nigel's heart even more excited.
In his opinion, it is impossible for such a powerful creature to exist in this world.
Nigel then focused on the cost of the sacrifices needed to summon the undead.
At the mention of this, Baron Edra couldn't help but feel deep pride: "Nigel, maybe you don't know yet, although I am the same as you are the summoner of the undead, there are still some differences between me and you. ”
"What's the difference?"
Looking at Nigel's longing eyes, Edra said proudly, "I'm a valued member of the world of the dead!"
"Member?"
"Yes, the World of the Dead has regular Undead Summoners and Undead Summoner members. ”
"Is there any difference between the two?"
"There are so many differences!"
Baron Edra opened his mouth to explain the difference between a member and a normal summoner, and Nigel pondered in his heart, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Lord Death is really smart. ”
Baron Edra couldn't understand what Nigel meant by being smart, but in Nigel's opinion, the membership system set by Lord Death was perfect.
From a business point of view, this is a very successful and well-established system.
Distinguishing between ordinary summoners and member summoners not only makes each other envious and superior, but also the preferential benefits of the members themselves encourage more undead summoners to become members and continue to summon the undead.
Perhaps, this is the mind of God, omnipotent, every thought is amazing. ”
Nigel sighed in his heart, he was a businessman, he understood the power of the membership system better, and he was even more in awe of Lord Death in his heart.
Nigel continued to communicate with Baron Edla, asking questions about the cost of summoning sacrifices.
When Nigel learned about the cost of summoning sacrifices, he thought about the comparison in his heart: "If I summon an ordinary skeleton, the most cost-effective way is to become a VIP level 3 member, and then make a permanent summon,"
"Aside from the cost of becoming a member, the secret stones required for summoning are one hundred, and you can also permanently summon skeleton warriors, which are more powerful than ordinary skeletons, and the permanent summoning cost is five hundred secret stones. ”
"The strength of the skeleton warrior is a little stronger than that of ordinary skeletons, but both of these are stronger than low-level knights, if you analyze it from the perspective of combat strength, I only need to summon ordinary skeletons is enough. ”
Nigel calculated the cost in his mind: "In the Esker Continent, a well-qualified young child constantly uses secret stones to cultivate, and he can probably become a low-level knight before he becomes an adult, and he needs about 200 to 300 secret stones to consume. If he didn't use the secret stone to cultivate, he could only become a low-level knight before the age of thirty at the earliest. ”
Aside from the cultivation geniuses among the human race, using secret stones to summon ordinary skeletons is completely more cost-effective than cultivating a low-level knight.
At the very least, the combat power of ordinary skeletons is completely higher than that of low-level knights, and they have the super characteristics of absolute loyalty, no need to eat and rest.
Knight cultivation needs to take into account everyone's qualifications, the Dou Qi Gong method required for cultivation, and so on, and the secret stone is only a function of shortening the cultivation time.
For the major forces in the Eske Continent, the scarcity of secret stone resources is one of the reasons why secret stones are sought-after, and more because of the consumption required for cultivation.
If he was just cultivating a low-level knight, he naturally didn't need to waste secret stones to cultivate, just let him cultivate by himself.
But if he is a genius cultivator, he can completely smash a large number of secret stones, allowing him to shorten his cultivation time and become an intermediate or high-level knight in a short period of time. Because the intermediate knights and high-level knights are the backbone of the big forces.
Between the two hostile forces, one has a large number of secret stones, and the other is poor and white, so the poor forces are naturally inferior to the rich forces in terms of the speed of cultivating knights.
This is the strategic significance of the secret stone, and it is also the reason why the price of the secret stone has remained high and there is no market at the same time.
If An Baichen has always controlled the number of secret stones needed to summon the undead to the number of secret stones needed to train knights of the same level, then the undead summoners will definitely not use the secret stones to train knights, but use them to summon the undead.
"How's it going?" said Baron Edra looking at Nigel.
Nigel nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Edla, for your teaching, please tell me what I need to build my territory, and I will send the equivalent of resources and gold coins to your territory." ”
"No, you can tell me directly how many gold coins these secret stones can sell for, and I will inform you directly of what supplies I need. ”
Edra smiled and said, "It's equivalent to me selling the secret stone to you, and then using gold coins to purchase resources from your Chamber of Commerce." ”
Nigel pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Edla, what do you think of the price of 500 gold coins per secret stone?"
This is already the highest price Nigel can give, he is not Leonard, and he does not have the financial support of an entire country behind him.
For a country, the price factor is not considered at all when purchasing secret stones, and there are as many as you want.
"Yes. ”
Edra nodded, and he said, "But you have to promise me that the secret stone I gave you can only be used to summon the undead, this is the only thing I ask of you." ”
"Yes, Mr. Edla. ”
As soon as Nigel agreed, he was worried that he couldn't find a suitable sacrifice, and Edla's deal was completely a blessing in disguise.
