Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter 1: Looting
Antonidas had experienced the last Faction War, when he was just a newly Heroic Archmage, and his teacher, the previous Speaker of the Kenrito Council, served as a magical advisor to the Order faction. It was the years of participating in the faction war that allowed some ambitious Antonidas to see the apex of this world.
In the face of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of soldiers, fighting frantically, even a legendary archmage would not dare to say that he could decide the outcome of a battle, but someone did, and he was Les Frost.
That shot may have seemed to Les Frost to be just an ordinary fire support, but Antonidas was impressed by the overwhelming rain of shadow arrows and the frost nova that could almost cover the land. It was after that that the extremely gifted archmage gave up his studies in the four systems of plastic energy magic and instead specialized in water magic. In the end, relying on his achievements in water magic, he became a legendary existence in just over a hundred years.
But Antonidas will never let this despise the legendary Les Frost.
If the mage is compared to a college student in reality, then a heroic archmage can only barely be said to have graduated from an undergraduate degree, and when he enters the legend, it means that he has passed the graduate examination and chosen a certain professional direction for research. And after becoming a legend, it means that he has a certain amount of cutting-edge results in his chosen field of expertise, and has become an authority in a certain aspect.
But because of the short life, a human legendary mage can only be regarded as a doctor in a single professional field, and a lich like Rice can be regarded as a senior graduate student in multiple fields, perhaps in the field that Antonidas is good at, Rice can't compete with him, but the real battle is never a simple competition for knowledge. Les Frost, who has a deep background and a variety of means, definitely has the strength to be on an equal footing with Antonidas.
Les was not surprised that he was recognized, the undead had a long life, and who knows where Antonidas had heard about him.
And the fact that Les was here made Antonidas understand that that Martan had probably managed to escape. The thought that the lich would be secretly stirring up trouble next gave Antonidas a headache. However, he couldn't keep track of it, and Rice's actions just now clearly expressed his inclination.
At this moment, Melganis suddenly exclaimed, "Teacher, it's him!" He's the undead who stole the Book of your from Shadowfang Castle and gave it to Elvira! ”
Previously, because of the spell competition between Antonidas and Les Frost, Melganis's attention was all attracted by the two powerhouses. It wasn't until just now that he finally judged Yu Bin's identity from his breath. The undead who had humiliated him so much appeared here, and Melganis's anger, which had been finally calmed down, jumped up again.
Antonidas finally set his eyes on Yu Bin, who was standing next to Les Frost. At this time, he realized that among the four people, the undead in plate armor was so out of place.
And this also convinced Antonidas of his guess that there was indeed a mastermind behind the two things of the Book of your and Maltan.
"I see! Les Frost, you're behind all this! ”
Yu Bin didn't expect that Les was also shot while lying down, although these things did have part of the credit of this lich, but Yu Bin felt that it was more the reason for Kel'thugad.
"So what? Antonidas, do you want to have a good fight with me here? ”
Antonidas clenched his teeth secretly, a big war is impossible, no matter what the final result is, the biggest loss is the human race, and the current Virgil Kingdom can no longer withstand more suffering.
"Melganis, let's go! Les Frost, Dalaran won't give up on this matter! Antonidas waved the staff in his hand, and the surrounding water elementals quickly gathered around him, enveloping him and Melganis with water vapor, and with a flash of teleportation, the two human archmages disappeared.
Yu Bin had slowly tasted the taste at this time. The reason why Les Frost had to follow him here was not only to make sure that Maltan escaped according to their plan, but also to put pressure on Dalaran to turn the attention of the archmages away from Maltan and on himself. This is because Martan, who has suffered heavy losses, is at his weakest at this time, and even if he enters the underground world, he can only barely escape the pursuit of a few human kingdoms, and if Dalaran still pursues him, then this plan to lure Maltan to attack the dark elves may still be aborted. And this is a problem that Yu Bin did not think of at all when he made the plan.
Kel'thugad and Les Frost had obviously seen this flaw in Yu Bin's plan a long time ago, but they didn't say it directly, but chose to take action themselves to directly eliminate this problem that might lead to the failure of the plan. This is not only to ensure their own interests, but also to let Yu Bin know that the conspiracy he has worked so hard to plan is just a child's toy in their eyes.
Yu Bin couldn't help but be discouraged for a while, but when he turned his head and thought about it, these two old immortals didn't know how long they had lived, and in terms of conspiracy and trickery, ten Yu Bin combined estimated that they couldn't withstand one of them. When he thought about it, he felt much more balanced.
And the last bit of dissatisfaction with Les Frost has completely disappeared because of the open treasure house in front of him.
There are a total of five treasure troves confessed by Maltan, two of which are in the territory of the Kingdom of Virgil, relying on Les to cover it up himself, and the two of them unknowingly opened the two treasure troves located under an abandoned village on the outskirts of the royal capital of Virgil.
The treasures buried here are all looted from the Kingdom of Virgil when Maltan was a human, and because the Kingdom of Virgil is based on the trade of precious resources as the backbone of the kingdom's economy, the treasure trove contains the most high-end gems, ores, and corresponding products. In addition to this, there are also a small number of treasures and rare items collected through bribery. Not to mention the gold coins, Yu Bin simply counted them, and there were more than 200,000 gold coins in the mainland alone.
Yu Bin also found a small bag of purple gold coins in a small box made of refined iron mixed with refined copper, this currency is used for trade settlement between countries, each purple gold coin represents 100,000 gold coins, otherwise the annual gem trade volume of the Virgil Kingdom is so large, it is impossible to collect all the gold coins, it is estimated that tens of millions of gold coins will be collected every year. There are more than 50 purple gold coins in this small box, that is, more than 5 million.
Yu Bin first scavenged all the space bags, the space bag refers to a large space bag that can hold a large number of materials, because the ordinary space bag needs to be carried, so the number and weight of the items loaded will not be very large, so the space inside the space bag will naturally not be too large, otherwise it is just a waste. But many times, the aborigines need some special props to transport a large number of materials, such as various ores, grains, herbs, etc., in this case, it is easy to build, has a large holding space, and can keep the storage items intact for a long time. The space inside each sac is around hundreds of cubic meters, and the largest may even exceed thousands of cubic meters, which can be used to store all kinds of large devices.
Les stood silently in the corner of the treasury, oblivious to the dazzling array of treasures, all his attention on the knuckle in his hand. The Life Crate is arguably the most energetic and proud work of the Lich's life, and each Lich will protect the Life Crate he has made, and it will easily never be revealed. Therefore, Les cherished the opportunity in front of him, and by studying this life box, he was able to learn about some of Grimman's magical techniques and methods. This is much more important than the waste in this treasure trove in front of you.
In fact, according to the agreement made by Yu Bin and Kel'thugad, Yu Bin could get 20% of the treasure obtained from Martan. This is also one of the reasons why Yu Bin is very concerned about this.
Yu Bin picked up a piece of ore with blood-red streamers on the surface from the shelves of the treasure house, looked at it over and over for a while, turned his head to Les and asked, "Dragon's blood mine?" By the way, how long are you going to study that thing? ”
"The dragon marrow ore of the ancient red dragon, used for forging can increase a lot of physique and flame resistance, I suggest that you best use it to make potions." Les didn't stop Yu Bin from pocketing this piece of dragon marrow ore at all, but reminded him how to use it better, "Griman's life box has a high research value, Kel'thugad may not need it, but it's almost time for me to be promoted to legend, this thing can give me a little inspiration." ”
"I thought you were a legend, Navik and Kel'thugad were legends, and I thought the lich was like that. Oh, high-grade energy potions, rare goods, it's mine! ”
"The Lich will always be legendary at the very least, because the Lich is a special form of undead, and in the process of promotion, we must consume a lot of Soul Origin. Don't use your claws to move that thing, it's a trap, and that bottle over there, there's a soul-eating aura in it! Les unceremoniously flicked out a bone tooth, and Yu Bin's claws opened from a cup that looked unusually beautiful.
"Like Maltan? I remember he was just a corpse witch, not even a hero. According to what you said, in the process of being promoted to a lich, a lot of soul origin needs to be consumed, so how did he become what he is now? Yu Bin asked shamelessly while stuffing a lot of those precious materials into his pocket.
The soul fire in Les's eyes beat fast and slowly: "I don't know! Perhaps there is a special method in Gryman's legacy that allows him to be promoted without paying too much price. ”
"If I had the chance, I'd like to try it too!" Yu Bin said with envy.
Rice was noncommittal.
"Oh, yes! You didn't have any good ideas in the first place, did you? I wonder if you're willing to come with me to Jemar Pass, that old ghost of Antonidas is your purpose, right? ”
"It's not something you need to know."
"I knew you weren't at ease! This should be Kel'thugad's request. How? Do you have a bad relationship with that rib? I heard that Dark Dean Gardin is a necrophile, you two won't ......" Yu Bin said with a disgusted expression.
"I don't mind turning you into a skeleton!"
"Just kidding! And this one for me too! Yu Bin threw over a scroll.
Les did not identify these things for Yu Bin as before, but changed his previous attitude of indifference and looked at Yu Bin coldly. Under the powerful aura of this legendary lich, Yu Bin felt that the temperature in the treasure house had dropped significantly.
Knowing that his temptation had touched Rice's bottom line, Yu Bin stopped his search and stood in place to look at Rice: "Don't scare me with this look." I knew from the beginning that you and Kel'thugad were playing my mind. Otherwise, when I first broke into the Psychic Academy, that dead ice cube would have turned me into an ice sculpture to use as a teaching material. You didn't kill me at that time, and Kel'thugad gave me a special opinion, so I knew that you had a conspiracy. Come to think of it, the only thing that can have something to do with that rib is Navic Frost! ”
"Huh! If you can guess this, why do you say it at this time? Aren't you afraid that I'm turning you into a stupid puppet now? Rice's eyes gleamed dangerously.
"Then you and Kel'thugad will get a useless piece of waste, which is abundant in psychic colleges. And you don't even care if I find out about it, because a little reptile that hasn't even stepped into the realm of a hero can't escape the palm of your hand. Yu Bin returned to his previous search, stuffing the things he could find into the space bag while continuing, "You keep saying that Navic is your teacher, don't you just want me to think that you are your own person?" You're a fool to me! You are an undead, and so am I! Undead! ”
"Teacher Navic has indeed found a very good toy, you are much smarter than that stupid pig Disama!" Les opened the scroll in his hand that was thrown by Yu Bin and said, "The green piece in your hand is the green dragon's dragon crystal, and this is the scroll of the frost breath potion. ”
"Frost breath? The potion that inflicts the Frost Shock effect on all attacks? Wow, I didn't expect that this dead ghost Maltan even has this kind of thing, and he deserves to die! Yu Bin was just stunned for a moment, and then continued to carry out the great cause of looting. It was as if the tense atmosphere between the two had never existed before.
"That idiot Martan's so-called wealth is all this kind of stuff that can't be put on the table, if you want it, you can take it all." Les threw the scroll back to Yu Bin, leaned back against the wall and said, refocusing on the life box in his hand.
"I only take my share, I'm a principled undead! Even though you're just using me, I've never treated you like one of the kind, each other! Undead, aren't they? ”
"That's right, the undead!" Rice felt that he really admired the little guy a little.
