The border province of Dagia of the Dia Undead Empire, with its capital at Mornington.

Although it is a border province, most of Dagiya's borders are located at the foot of the Great Hengduan Mountains, and only the area less than 30 kilometers to the southwest is hilly.

Therefore, the entire province of Dagya can be said to be a landlocked province in disguise, thanks to its excellent geographical environment, in the camp war a thousand years ago, Dagya was one of the only two border provinces that was not disturbed.

The Great Hengduan Mountain Range with an average height of more than 7,000 meters is not only a natural defense line for the southern part of the undead, but also prevents the power of death from spreading to the south, and the dangerous creatures living in the Great Hengduan Mountain Range do not like to be disturbed by the breath of death, and the undead are not willing to occupy an area that is difficult to develop, so the entire Dajiya Province has always been peaceful.

Although the city of Morrington is the capital of Dagya, it is not even as developed as the Katyn Fortress near the Katyn Hills, and as a result, it has a much smaller number of players than the capitals of other provinces. Even though it's now two months after the full opening, there is still not a single sizable player guild in Mollington.

Walking on the streets of Mornington, from time to time, players passing by saluted Yu Bin, and after recognizing the identity of this player wearing a set of delicate and powerful plate armor equipment, even the saboteurs who usually have no one in their eyes will immediately bow respectfully and stand on both sides of the road, offering the greatest respect to this strong man.

Behind Yu Bin was Kurdila Weaver, the undead knight wearing a purple-black cloak with the Knights of the Black Blade depicting it, much to the eyes of the players on the side of the road.

After the Pharaoh League withdrew from Lasgard due to a crushing defeat, Yu Bin also announced the establishment of the Blackblade Knights, and the first action was to include 500 undead cavalry players out of the 4,000 cavalry who followed him in the war.

And the entire Blackblade Knights has a full 4,000 places, which is undoubtedly a very tempting choice for many undead players. Huff, who was formerly part of the Cerberus Wing, is being screened with the help of La Suvios, and the number of Knights of the Black Blade is growing.

Taking Kurdila to the Lord's Mansion in Mollington, Yu Bin showed the guards outside the Lord's Mansion his lord certificate, which was a wooden tablet carved with a circle of white bones, which was used to record the basic information of the holder.

The guards briefly checked Yu Bin's lord certificate and signaled that he could enter.

"Kurdila, you're waiting for me here!" Before entering the government hall of the Lord's Palace, Yu Bin motioned for Kurdila to wait here, and Kurdila, who was still an ordinary guard, was not qualified to directly meet the lord of Morrington.

Pushing open the door of the government hall, there was a large hall inside, and at the end of the hall was a high platform, and on a chair made of bones sat a corpse witch, writing something on parchment with a pen in his hand.

"Good day, Lord Merlin!" Yu Bin walked to the foot of the high platform and saluted the corpse witch.

The corpse witch raised his head, and the dark blue soul fire in his eyes jumped a few times: "Good day, little one! How can I have time to visit me today! ”

The ruler of Morrington, Merlin Murdoch, Earl of the Dia Undead Empire, this wizard master has long managed the land of Dagia Province for the emperor of the Dia Undead Empire, and was seriously injured in a faction war, and his strength fell from the legendary level to the ordinary hero level, but no one would underestimate such an old undead nobleman, especially if the other party is also a magic master specializing in necromantic witchcraft.

It was through La Suvios that Yu Bin got in touch with the wizard master. As a lord, theoretically speaking, Yu Bin must find a country to belong to as Naxxramas, otherwise the territory in his hands belongs to the ownerless, and any undead nobleman has the right to seize Naxxramas.

If Yu Bin could have dragged this matter out before, then with the full opening of the Entagri world, Naxxramas is bound to open the teleportation array in order to attract those players, so it has become a natural choice for Yu Bin to find a thigh to hug. Among the three undead empires, the Felta Empire is weak and aggressive; The Sa Anlotte Empire is full of perverts and madmen, and Yu Bin doesn't want to deal with those guys unless it is absolutely necessary. Come to think of it, only the tradition-oriented Dia Empire can be called a suitable home.

Therefore, Yu Bin took advantage of the relationship of La Suvios to attach Naxxramas to the name of Merlin Murdoch, which happened to be the closest to the Dagia Province to the Great Hengduan Mountains, and the geographical relationship was also justified.

"If Count Merlin is not afraid of being disturbed by me, I would be willing to learn necromancy from Lord Earl."

Merlin put down the pen in his hand, propped up the table with both hands, and looked down at Yu Bin with his upper body over the high platform: "A terrifying knight came to learn necromancy from me?" Hehe, that's not a funny joke! ”

"It's not a bad thing to learn more!" Yu Bin met Merlin's gaze without fear, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Haha, hahaha!" Merlin laughed, "Well, little one, although you are not suitable to be my disciple, what you did in Lasgard still makes me feel very good!" Let's be honest, what are you going to get from me today? ”

Compared to other undead NPCs, Merlin's temper is much better, this wizard master is a scholar-type NPC, and spends much more time studying necromancer than on government affairs, so Merlin has always been very preferential to Yu Bin, who is willing to share some government affairs for him and complete some lord tasks.

"You say that as if I've been taking advantage of you!" Yu Bin was also polite, and put the lord certificate on the table.

Merlin picked up the wooden sign: "Well, can it already be upgraded to a city?" I still vividly remember that not long ago, you received a lot of tasks from me in order to upgrade your territory from a village to a town, and now it has grown to this extent? You little ones who are favored by the will of death are truly enviable. ”

For the vast majority of lords, the escalation of a territory can only be upgraded from a village to a town, from a town to a city, and from a city to a provincial capital or a military fortress, only with the consent of the ruler of the kingdom.

This is due to the fact that the lord will only be able to purchase new architectural drawings if the lord agrees to upgrade the realm. The existence of Yu Bin, who relies on his own ability to collect architectural drawings, is a complete exception!

Of course, Yu Bin can not be upgraded, Naxxramas is named a village, and he can also build the required functional buildings according to the drawings. But in this way, Naxxramas's position in the entire Dia Empire's teleportation array network is just a village, and no matter how much energy Yu Bin provides to the teleportation array, it can only be teleported according to the standards of the village.

This is completely unacceptable for the upcoming mass of players, and Yu Bin doesn't want to spend hours on teleporting hundreds of players, which is a complete waste of the treasure land of Naxxramas. Therefore, he needs to at least upgrade Naxxramas to a small city.

And Yu Bin's superior is Merlin, and for Naxxramas, if he wants to upgrade to a small city, he naturally needs to obtain Merlin's consent.

The corpse witch count didn't talk nonsense, and gently swiped the wooden card with his white bone fingers, and the pale flames did not destroy the wooden card in the slightest under Merlin's powerful magical control, but merged into the wooden card.

After the pale flame and the wooden card were completely fused, Merlin threw the lord certificate in his hand to Yu Bin: "Okay, little guy, you are now a veritable city lord!" ”

"Thank you for your generosity!"

"I don't want to be evil!" Merlin said, "Alright, now let's talk about the one, the one. ”

"Naxxramas! Lord Merlin! ”

"Damn, can't you just give your territory a simple name?" Merlin said angrily, "Let's talk about your Naxxramas!" ”

"Listen to your subordinates!"

Merlin got up from the skeletal chair, walked around the high platform and walked in front of Yu Bin, staring at Yu Bin with a pair of dark blue eyes and said, "Recently, you have done a lot of impressive things, such as the Silver Pine Forest, the Barren Land, and even Lasgard. ”

Yu Bin has long been accustomed to the concept of time for the undead, and in the eyes of these old immortals who have lived for tens of thousands of years, less than two years can indeed be said to be a recent thing.

"The things you have done are undoubtedly a testament to your excellence and potential, and those old fellows will be happy to absorb a newborn offspring into the aristocratic system!" Merlin stretched out his bone-only palm and patted Yu Bin's shoulder, "But after all, you're still too young!" You're smart and capable. But perhaps you little ones have just embraced death and have not completely severed ties with your past, and the criticism of the life race is still lingering on you, and you always want to prove your strength and try to get others to agree with you in the shortest possible time. ”

Merlin shook his head, "It's not good, it's not good!" You know, no one can succeed forever, time is your worst enemy, and at the same time our old guys' best allies! ”

Yu Bin listened quietly, he knew that it was time to get to the point, which was why he didn't upgrade during this time, but focused on Merlin.

"I'm a nobleman, and although I don't think this status is very noble, it can still bring me some convenience." Merlin lowered his head and said in Yu Bin's ear, "If it weren't for the fact that you helped me deal with a lot of trouble, I wouldn't have brought you this news." I'll just say it once, you'd better listen carefully! ”

"Yes, Lord Merlin!"

"Be careful, someone is trying to deal with you!"

Merlin's words made Yu Bin tremble, and under his strong self-control, he barely suppressed his fear of this unknown enemy, and Yu Bin knew that what he had been worrying about had finally happened.

"May I ask, who is that person?"

Merlin shook his head, "You'd better not know, and I won't tell you!" ”

Even Merlin was reluctant to say it, which meant that the other party was an existence that Yu Bin would never be able to contend with.

"It's not like there's nothing left to do, though!" Merlin smiled with a rare cracked jaw, "Anyway, you are my subordinate, and your territory is under my leadership, so when you feel you need help, you can come to me!" ”

"So, Lord Merlin is willing to give me shelter?"

"Of course! As long as you know who to owe allegiance! Merlin said.

To whom are allegiances made? Yu Bin couldn't tell which faction the corpse witch in front of him belonged to for a while.

Theoretically speaking, as a nobleman, Merlin with the title of earl must belong to the imperial power, most of the nobles' power comes from the emperor, and only the emperor of the empire can grant or even deprive these nobles of the territory, and for a nobleman, the territory is a very important part of the strength they have.

On the other hand, Merlin Murdoch is also a master of witchcraft belonging to the Necromancer's Guild, which has always been under the control of the parliamentarian faction, so in this regard, it cannot be ruled out that the other party is a member of the council. This is also the reason why La Suvios and Merlin have a friendship.

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Bin's head began to hurt. Truth be told, compared to the human side, the struggle for power within the undead is not inferior at all, and the struggle between the imperial power and the parliamentarian faction has been in full swing since the establishment of the Dia Empire, and has intensified over time.

Seeing Yu Bin standing in place and doing a fierce psychological struggle, Merlin did not rush to force him to express his position immediately, anyway, no matter what, it is impossible for this little guy in front of him to rely on his own strength to get through this difficulty, let alone keep that territory, even his own life is very dangerous, in order not to become a plaything in the hands of that powerful being, this little guy will make a decision.

"Okay, you have time to think about it!" Merlin sat down in the skeleton chair, "Finally, I have one more thing to tell you! ”

Yu Bin temporarily cleaned up his mood: "Please speak, Lord Merlin!" ”

The Corpse Witch picked up a parchment scroll from the table, "In view of your exploits for the undead, I recommend you to the Martial Arts Association!" This is the notice of initiation, you must go to the Wall of Bones Fortress within seven days, and someone will walk you through the formalities of joining the guild! ”

The Martial Arts Association, like the Necromancer Association, is a professional association of the undead clan, and the Warrior Guild is a subordinate organization of the Martial Arts Association.

"Thank you very much!" Yu Bin took the parchment roll, glanced at it roughly, and put it in his backpack.

"In addition, in recognition of your merits, the Senate of Nobles and His Majesty the Emperor have unanimously agreed to confer on you the title of knight!"

Sir is the lowest level in the aristocratic system of the undead, generally awarded to those who are from low backgrounds but have made a certain degree of meritorious service, Yu Bin can obtain this title, on the one hand, because he is the lord of Naxxramas, the ruler of this god-given land is not a nobleman, which will make the noble senate disgraced, on the other hand, it is also because of Yu Bin's achievements, as well as the talent and potential he has shown, so that he has a special meaning in the eyes of those high-level undead NPCs.

Of course, as the lowest noble, the emperor will not grant a knight a territory, under normal circumstances, an undead knight will generally enter the undead regular army as a low-ranking officer, until he has made more meritorious deeds and is awarded the status of a baron, in order to obtain the rewarded territory.

"As a newly promoted knight, you were supposed to serve in the Bone Shield Legion at the Wall of Bones Fortress, where you would accumulate merit until you were awarded the title of Baron. However, given your status and strength, it is clear that this method will not work. ”

Of course it doesn't work, let a busy man like Yu Bin be an officer, and train with that ticket of soldiers twenty-four hours a day, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for Yu Bin to accept it.

"So, as an alternative, you must complete a mission for the Empire as a way to offset the loss caused by your inability to serve!" Merlin said, throwing three scrolls from the high platform to Yu Bin, "Choose one of these three tasks!" ”
