In the warehouse hall, several people looked at the virtual image in front of them without daring to breathe, and the next picture was that the old earl put the box back, covered it up, and then came back here and squatted in the corner and began to hold his head and talk to himself, obviously because of the confusion caused by excessive fright......

"What do you think?" Letia walked up to Locke and asked, her face faintly revealing a sense of worry, although the treasure was there, but greater trouble awaited them.

Locke looked down for a moment, then turned his head to look to the side, and suddenly the figure of the fat man appeared in the hall, and the others all turned their heads to look - only the field chicken here is from hell, and there are not a few hell lords who have served, so his statement is definitely worth referencing.

"You saw it all?" Locke asked, pointing to the virtual image, when the fat man was in the castle, Anne provided him with a visual image of the outside, so he knew everything about what was going on here.

"I saw my lord." Tian Ji said with a solemn face, turned his head to look around, then looked at the virtual image in front of him and said, "Please call back the screen to the picture when the Hell Lord appeared." ”

Locke looked at him with his arms crossed, and shouted without looking back, "Nina." ”

"Understood."

Then, the old earl's memory began to rewind rapidly, until the black-crowned Lord of Hell appeared.

"My lord, everyone, please look there." Tian Ji pointed to the picture and said, "It has a platinum ring on its thumb - the lord wears a ring, which is already out of the category of low-level clans in hell, and the white-gold ring indicates that its clan has reached the 4th order, these are energy rings, which have the effect of gathering and absorbing nearby energy, issued by the high-level demon gods in hell, it is a symbol of honor and status, obviously this is a powerful clan." ”

Everyone listened quietly, and the fat man's tone changed from his previous words, both in expression and grammar and wording, all of them were quite rigorous - when encountering a murderous hell lord in the material world, it is self-evident what kind of trouble the still growing castlevania will face.

Several people turned their heads to look at Locke, hoping that their lord would perform another miracle.

Locke crossed his arms and looked at the picture in front of him, and after a long time, asked, "What are those flying?" Gargoyles? ”

"Lord Hui, they are called incinerators, and they are the vanguard troops commonly used by the lords of hell, because they are agile, mobile, and powerful, and have low energy consumption, so they are generally loved by the lords."

Locke nodded, and finally asked, "According to your estimates, how many pioneers are there in this clan?" ”

"It's about 1,000 of them, and the human army over there should be able to deal with it, but I'm afraid that the so-called 'Hell Gate' will continue to open there, and then more and more Hell Demons will come over."

This is the main concern of everyone here, because the castle will manifest when it is used, and the energy emitted at that time will be perceived by other keen Hell Lords, so when the people of the Order do not come, the demons will continue to gather like flies meeting cakes, and it will be troublesome - the point is that the castle is still too weak to parry so much.

What to do?

"No problem." Locke said confidently, and the people around him breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it.

"Nina." Locke shouted, "Tell the lab to take a screenshot of this image, put it in a portable container, and give it to the field chicken." ”

"Understood."

"Huh?" Tian Ji was stunned for a moment.

Locke looked at him and said meaningfully, "Later, you can give that thing to Shan Di and let him report it to the authorities." The gates of hell are opened, demons are here, and the branch of the Order on the other side of the desert will not sit idly by. ”

"Oh~~" After hearing this, several people around suddenly showed such expressions, "There is nothing that my king can't do." ”

"The king's wisdom is comparable to that of the cosmic galaxy!"

The two vampires were slapping the sycophants wildly, and just as the fat man was about to join the sycophants, Locke continued:

"It's too early to be happy, and by the time the Order over there reacts, the Helllords have already passed several times. We must actively prepare for war during this time, and try to have enough combat strength to deal with them before they arrive - slaughtering the demons can replenish the castle with considerable nutrition, so don't be robbed by the Order, understand? ”

"Do as you command, my noble king!"

Everyone bowed their heads and put their palms on their chests in salute, each showing great piety.

Locke looked at the two current vampires and the two Nemisis plus a fat man and a dog, and suddenly sighed in his heart: the number of people seems a little shabby now, but as time goes by, the number and variety of his subordinates should increase in the future, right?

Anyway, let's upgrade the castle now.

After that, Locke turned on the trap as shown in the Earl's memory image, entered the dark tunnel, and took down the manticore hidden in the ceiling behind him to obtain the box that radiated plenty of energy.

After everything was done, George was instructed to start a variety of tactical training for his subordinates in the future, and until this wave of crises passed, he must not be as casual as he is now.

He then gave the fat man the crystal containing the video data, and at the same time asked him to start buying a large number of building materials, steel, and other military strategic materials in the city, which were useful when the castle was expanded.

Finally, let Retcia and the others go to the training room and make the bodies of the two newborn Nemises - of course, let Nina tell them, after all, Locke is embarrassed to say things like 'all of your bodies are copycat water goddesses'.

After all the explanations are done, after going out of the ground, put Caesar away, and before leaving, ask the vampires to disarm the human soldiers who are in a state of bewilderment.

Later, in a wide prairie north of Seth City, the majestic Castlevania sits in it.

It's time to upgrade the castle.

In the cave in the center of Castlevania, Locke looked up at the huge core crystal in front of him, which had expanded a lot compared to the last time, and the small crystals around it had also increased a lot, which meant that the energy consumed by each facility was constantly increasing.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, my wise king." The Core Crystal greeted.

Locke smiled and replied, "Long time gone, huh..... Your name is Jessy, which means God's favor and wealth. ”

“...... I...... Called Jessie? Is it your darling and wealth? ”

"Uh-no..... It's God's ....."

The voice of the core crystal sounded very excited, it is the only building facility in the entire Castlevania that has all the memories from ancient times to the present, the other facilities have either been destroyed or erased when the lord is replaced, and it has been watching the rise and fall of the castle alone, and it is only now that it truly has a name of its own.

The meaning of the name is quite precious to the demon, it is not just a codename, it is more of a bearer, whether it is an advanced civilization or an ancient will, the name is a proof of existence for them, and now, the core crystal finally ushered in its most important moment - it has a name of its own.

Locke helplessly watched the violent shaking around him and even the entire castle, and immediately covered his head and sighed heavily, just hoping that this crystal would not be so excited that he blew himself up, otherwise Locke, the master of Castlevania, would become a sinner for the ages.

After a long time, the shaking stopped, and Locke looked up and smiled and asked, "Are you alright?" Jessie? ”

"I'll make you laugh, my king." The huge crystal was still suspended in mid-air as usual, but from its tone, if it had any physical presence at this time, it must have been the image of a little girl with her head down and twisting.

Is this a girl?

Locke smiled, then stretched out his right hand, and the small sealed box appeared in the palm of his hand, and said, "Look at how much energy this has, and tell me when you're done." ”

The box opened, and a majestic aura instantly filled the entire cave, and a violent cyan whirlwind surged out of the box, but in the next second, all of them were absorbed by the core crystal.

Locke set the box aside, and it seemed that the energy inside would be pouring out like an open dam - if this thing was to exist in the world, not to mention humans, the whole hell would have to rush up and snatch it.

However, the earth demon was quite principled, he didn't open this thing directly, and when he knew that the other party had sealed it, he didn't force it to go over and lift it, it seemed that he just moved with his heart, and he didn't interfere too much.

The core crystal continued to absorb the energy of the wind, and after a long time, it replied:

"According to preliminary estimates, this energy box can provide 5 million cubic meters of Dimon Cunn per day."

Hiss ~~5 million square meters...... A precious magic guide stone is only 100,000 square meters......

At present, the castle can increase the energy of about 700,000 cubic meters per day, and the reserve has reached 6 million cubic meters, which is less than 20 days away from the 18 million cubic meters required for upgrading, but this number has been estimated to be 20 days a few days ago, and it is still the case until now, so it can be seen that the continuous increase in energy consumption is slowly delaying the income reserves, and I really don't know how long it will take to finally reach 18 million.

But that's no longer the case.

The Earth Demon's magic box can provide 5 million square meters per day, so it only takes three days to generate 15 million square meters of energy, plus the current reserve of more than 6 million square meters, which directly exceeds the 18 million square meters of energy required for upgrading.

And three days is enough time for the fat man to get the building materials, and during this period, there are 3 million square meters that can be arranged in advance before the fourth order.

"Excuse me, what do you want me to do? My noble King. ”

Faced with the core crystal's question, Locke didn't answer it immediately, he pinched his chin and thought quietly.

The last time the Minotaur was fought, the vampires were very successful, so they were given an additional 20,000 dollars, so it would increase to 6 per day on the original basis - now the total number of vampires is 30, and the growth rate of ghouls has not changed, it is still four per day, and it is currently 325.

In other words, the only units that Locke can use now are vampires and ghouls, and if Nemesses is not counted, then there are too few demons available in his hands.

"The labyrinth of the Minotaur, the ruins of Dolga, and the Death Knight's Chapel of the Dead, all require the fourth order of the castle." Locke said to himself, "At present, it will take three days to reach the fourth order, and there are ...... buildings that can be made with the extra 3 million square meters."

Thinking of this, Locke immediately looked up at the core crystal and said, "Jiexi." ”

"Huh?"

"Build the Frozen Throne!" (To be continued)
