Chapter 58: Receiving after the Great War
It was getting dark before the whole battle was completely over. The remnants of Redbeard's camp fled the battle through a hidden passage in the rear. The two mercenary groups paid the price of more than 100 deaths and more than 200 injuries to eliminate 700 redbeard bandits and successfully occupy the enemy's lair; the city guards who did not participate in the siege became the heaviest casualties, and the 500-person city guards now have only 270 people left, but they have also gained a lot, and it is estimated that only more than 200 people from the three thieves can escape alive, including the gray wolf hundred-man cavalry team that escaped from the battlefield early.
With the collection of various materials and spoils, it is time to divide the spoils. Li Xun had been hiding for a long time on the grounds that the mana was too depleted, but when he saw the critical moment, he had no choice but to cheekily twist and squirm into the big tent in the center. The first time he saw Casas, he ushered in a big thumbs up, and even the middle-aged mage who had always been upright and serious made a joke of himself, 5555555, it seems that his face is really lost this time! Li Xun smirked at Casas, and saw Cialis flipping through the books on the side with an expressionless face, and quickly found the most remote corner to sit down.
The strange atmosphere among the mages was not yet the turn of the knight Antok, so he could only clear his throat and draw the attention of everyone in the tent to himself, and then he raised the parchment in his hand and began to read aloud the harvest of the day:
Enough for 1,000 people to eat and drink for half a year, several carts of food
Leather armor, half-body cuirass, chain mail, and a number of full-body armor
Swords, maces, spears, long contradictions, cards and so on
A number of various jewelry utensils, no less than 100,000 pan-continental gold coins
A number of archers' crossbows of all kinds
200 magic crystals in 4 boxes
2 boxes of various casting materials
70,000 gold coins were directly seized
5 sets of special folding crossbows (intact) were recovered from the battlefield and equipped with 19 special crossbow arrows, the effect of which is unknown
Elf-style Mithril Chain Mail (intact) 2 pieces, several damaged fragments
The only people who could participate in the distribution of the spoils in the camp were Antok and two other lieutenants, the leaders of the 2 major mercenary groups and 3 mages. According to the prior agreement, everything must be selected by the mage first, not to mention that today can wipe out the redbeard's lair in one fell swoop and severely damage the gray wolf and vulture thieves, the three mages have contributed a lot, so everyone invited the three mages to choose first without any objection.
The three of Casas exchanged briefly, and took away the 2 boxes of spell casting materials, 2 pieces of Mithril chain mail, 3 pairs of folding crossbows and all special crossbow arrows, as for the magic crystal, they only took 2 boxes of 100 pieces, and they didn't stretch out their hands for anything else. The restraint of the mages relieved the 2 major mercenary groups, and half of the remaining ones could fall into their hands, plus the remuneration agreed by the city lord in advance, their 2 major mercenary groups could be regarded as making a lot of money this time. Antok was an old-fashioned knight, so he did not know the small schemes of the master he was working for, so he was also overjoyed by this great gain, and after arranging the guard sentry, he began to indulge in a carnival with the people.
Casas ordered people to move all the things they had selected to their tents, and called Li Xun and Xilis to start the internal processing. Cialis is worthy of being born as a princess and has a lot of money, so she can't look down on these messy things, so she smiled and declined. Li Xun was not polite, and he didn't ask for spell materials, he took 2 pieces of Mithril chain mail, 2 pairs of folding crossbows and all the special crossbow arrows, and left everything else to Casas, and he took what he needed. Mithril Chainmail and Special Crossbow Mages are generally not used, but as mages, they instinctively have a desire not to let out such weapons that pose a threat to the caster.
As soon as the things were finished, Li Xun returned to his tent with a full dimensional bag. After sitting quietly on the wooden chair for a moment, he gently spread out his left hand, and a storage ring slowly flew out of the shadows behind him and landed in the palm of his hand.
"Thank you, ghost!"
Li Xun nodded to the shadow and began to concentrate on the space in the storage ring, which was the biggest gain of the day. 5 kilograms of Adamantite Gold, 6 kilograms of Mithril, 200 White Crystals, 400 Magic Crystals, all the inventory of a family of Dark Elves on the surface is in it. Adamantite and Mithril are all top-grade precious metals, often measured in grams in surface transactions, and the Dark Regions are worthy of being the underworld, and the amount of precious metals mined is indeed much higher than that of the surface. But Li Xun didn't know that in any dark elf city, 5 kilograms of pure gold and 6 kilograms of Mithril could be regarded as a large transaction. The fact that a Dark Elf family is willing to trade such a large amount of goods usually means that the fate of the family is at stake, but what does this have to do with themselves!
As for the priestess, it was the guy with big breasts and big butts, Li Xun originally wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent the family behind him from coming to seek revenge, but before he started, the attitude of the priestess towards the family made Li Xun have a new idea.
The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, I should have made a plan earlier! Eternal Night City is a must, because I need to grow in strength, but now it has developed a bit of a chicken rib, and the main reason is that the location is too close to the human world. Although Eternal Night City is located in the sparsely populated Whispering Forest, it is only 17 miles from the edge of the forest. According to Skeletron and the Butcher's statistics, more than a dozen hunters or medicine people have strayed into the dark canopy, and although they have been left behind, the outside world has begun to spread the legend of the appearance of a terrifying region in the Whispering Forest, which will sooner or later attract the attention of the Duchy of Novis. It is conceivable that when the principality frees up its hands from the south, it will inevitably clean up the areas that are not "clean" in the rear. For the above considerations, it is necessary to settle down the second stronghold as soon as possible so that the development of the power of the cemetery will not be suddenly cut in half.
After thinking about it, this dark area that suddenly appeared is a good space for development. First, chaotic, evil creatures inhabit here to avoid the sun. The Dark Lands are filled with cities and nations of Dilo Dwarves, Dark Elves, Grey Dwarves, and Mind Flayers. It's also home to some of the rarer races, such as the benthic mobfish, the Eyefish, and the Koutao fishmen, as well as some intelligent humanoid slaves from the surface. There is no psychological burden on killing these evil and cruel guys by themselves, and it is much easier than picking and picking around on the surface to make heads. Secondly, there is no evil here, only more evil, and your own cemetery will not be naturally ostracized in this kind of place, at least until your own power develops, there will be no national siege, and you don't need to be as careful as the surface for fear of leaking your head.
All things considered, this dark area development plan is still basically feasible, and the only thing lacking now is to be blind to the situation there, and don't know how to choose the target to start, so the female sacrifice has become the only target of cooperation.
The direction of development has been set, and here's how to achieve it. The first challenge was how to reach a mutual aid agreement with the priestess. Come forward to trade with her and take what you need, this can only be a choice, after all, the reputation of the dark elves is there! Lies, deception, and betrayal are an instinct for them, not a skill, they are simply natural believers of the prince of lies, Hirek, and they are just waiting to be eaten and wiped clean and stabbed!
It seems that they still need to impersonate some big force, otherwise it will not be enough to deter them. Hehe, then you can only let your "upper people" come out. Using his own cemetery class to pretend to be a subordinate force of the United Council of the Dead, all he needs to do is shout "there is someone above me" when he encounters anyone, which is enough to make the other party think twice. As long as you avoid the biggest dark elf forces, just the idea of fighting the gray dwarves and minotaurs, it shouldn't cause a backlash from the underworld!
Going around and around, it still comes back to the question of how to control the female sacrifice. There are indeed a variety of soul contracts in spells, but they all need to be much stronger than the other party, and they are currently level 7 mages, if they are controlled by the other party using the contract loophole, they will become the saddest and most humiliating master of the cemetery. Hmm? I already have 3 heroes under my command, and my control over them depends on the blood contract in the cemetery tavern, can the blood contract be used on non-cemetery creatures? When I sign the blood contract with the cemetery hero, the other party's soul is a chaotic state that has just been born, and it is all based on the template transmitted from the past in my own memory to shape their different personalities and skills, so I have a natural intimacy with myself, but now this priestess is simply a canvas full of sewage, and it remains to be seen whether she can achieve a similar effect!
Well, let's settle down like this! After smoothing out the development ideas, Li Xun put his heart at ease and examined himself. In today's battle, Li Xun has been honored to be upgraded and has become a level 7 mage. There are too many cluttered things, and I haven't dealt with the upgrade points until now.
Adding the free attribute points to the spirit, Li Xun now has 5 spirit points, and he can carry 50 direct subordinates with him. This is followed by strategic skills, magical insight, luck, and leadership. Li Xun chose Magical Insight after a little thought, and with this skill, he can learn skills across schools without barriers. Haha, imagine that a mage commands many undead, but he throws light spells everywhere, and he can scare a group of people.
When I walked to the door of the tent, I threw away the corner of the curtain, and the noise immediately poured in. Oh, yes, they seem to be celebrating victory. cough, I'm also a young man, and I also want to participate in it to see the excitement and eat nonsense, but there are always so many things waiting to be done, 555555, bitter!
After performing the stealth flying technique, Li Xun sneaked out of the camp, looked at the blazing bonfires in the central clearing independently, and the groups of playing figures, a feeling of emptiness spontaneously arose in his heart, looked up at the full moon in the sky, which was countless times larger than his hometown, and turned around and went straight to the place where the priestess was.
