Chapter 205: Plant a tree for me
Flying all the way, Li Quan looked down at the ground from the sky, which was an eye-opener.
The ghouls scattered throughout the ice fields are not only humans, but also other races and even animals, and the wide variety of ghouls proves once again that the corpses controlled by the aliens are not limited to humans. Corpse bears, corpse wolves, all had blue ghoul eyes, and Li Quan even saw a few giant ghouls that were four or five meters tall.
The overall number of ghouls is extremely staggering, and the ice field is already occupied by dense ghouls within a radius of tens of kilometers. The closer they got to where the Night King was, the density of ghouls became, and the strange ghosts also appeared frequently, looking up at Li Quan flying high above their heads.
Feitian watched this scene in the air, and Li Quan was even more determined to have a thought in his heart.
"If only we could control these ghouls. There are so many ghouls here, I'm afraid it's the result of thousands of years of accumulation. There are births and deaths of the living, and the number will increase and decrease, and the whole will maintain a balance. But the ghouls will only increase, not decrease. For thousands of years, all the dead people and animals here have been transformed into walking corpses by strange spirits, what a dense labor force! ”
He finds himself more and more like a capitalist, and the first thing he considers is whether these ghouls can be converted into labor.
Ethics and morality were completely out of his mind. This is the Otherworldly.
"Is there any way to gain control of these ghouls?"
With this question in mind, he had come to the place where the Night King was sensed by his divine sense.
From afar, he saw a pale man on a horse, guarded by a group of strange spirits, who was also looking up at him.
"This man is the Night King?" Out of caution, Li Quan didn't get too close, and levitated about a hundred meters away from the Night King in the air. Take a look at the most mysterious characters in the world of Game of Thrones with interest.
His appearance was not striking, he was wearing a suit of armor, which was covered in ice and snow, and the exposed skin was pale like a ghost, without a trace of blood. So it's completely impossible to tell if the Night King is alive or not, or if he's simply a ghoul-like transformed thing?
At least according to the plot, the Night King was a human during his lifetime. There may be a possibility of communication.
"You're the Night King?" After a little hesitation, Li Quan opened his mouth and asked loudly.
A hoarse voice came: "Are you from the Targaryen family?" ”
"Targaryens? Just because I can fly doesn't mean I'm a Targaryen. Li Quan replied.
"And you're from House Stark?" The Night King asked.
"It's not."
"Baratheon?"
"Not really."
"Lannister?"
"Neither."
"And who are you?" The Night King asked in a calm voice, and the expression on his face did not fluctuate at all.
It's been thousands of years, and it must have been frozen for a long time. Li Quan thought maliciously.
He sighed and said, "It doesn't matter who I am......" He complained in his heart, as if he had said this sentence many times, and said: "If you surrender, I can spare your life." ”
When the Night King heard this, he let out a cold snort.
"Oh? Meaning refusing to cooperate? Li Quan showed the Ashes Messenger and the Frost Sorrow.
Since the other party is unwilling to cooperate, the only way to do this is to kill the Night King first, and then find a way to gain control of the ghouls.
"What's in your hand?" The Night King looked up and asked suddenly.
"You don't know." Li Quan pursed his lips, thinking to himself why he was talking so much nonsense to this guy, in the final analysis, he could be compared to a player in the game, the Night King was just a little boss, if he got in the way, then cut it, and talk less nonsense.
Li Quan swooped down with his twin swords held high, and the eagle struck the sky!
With a swaying golden light, the Ember Bringer slashed down at the Night King's head!
A crisp sound of "clanging" sounded.
At some point, the Night King took out a two-handed greatsword made of ice crystals, and blocked his high-altitude blow with huge potential energy in one fell swoop.
A trace of surprise flashed on Li Quan's face, and when he saw that the blow missed, he immediately pulled back. In an instant, at least twenty or thirty spears of ice crystals grazed past him. Those strange spirits did not speak of morality, and launched attacks on him one after another.
The Night King was still sitting on the corpse horse, holding the two-handed sword with the faintly glittering blue ice crystal in his hand, looking up at Li Quan in the sky.
Li Quan's expression was a little more solemn.
"It's a bit crooked." Li Quan lowered his head and looked at his left hand, the opponent's strength was extremely great, and the confrontation just now made him almost shake the Ash Messenger away.
He knows his own shortcomings, don't look at his current equipment, his two hands are full of artifacts, but he is a level 1 trumpet, his martial arts are zero, and he slashes people by smashing them hard.
On the other hand, this Night King, who was said to be the commander-in-chief of the night watchman on the Great Wall during his lifetime, must be unusual, throwing him a few blocks away.
Fortunately, this encounter just now was not without gain.
Li Quan looked at the Night King, only to see a black burn on the side of the Night King's pale cheek. This was caused by the holy light that had been brought up around the body of the Ember Bringer's sword just now.
This shows that even the Night King was restrained by the Ember Briele.
"What's your last word?" Li Quan moved his wrist and asked in a faint voice while riding on a flying broomstick.
The Night King didn't speak, just drew his ice crystal sword and raised it. Several strange ghosts around him shot ice spears at Li Quan at the same time.
Li Quan immediately drove the fire crossbow arrow to dodge, and his flexible body rolled and rotated in the air before diving down again.
The Night King rode on a corpse horse, and the ice crystal sword in his hand was ready to fight.
However, Li Quan raised the corners of his mouth, once again showing his character of playing cards out of common sense, and there were still more than ten meters away from the contact between the two sides, so he threw the ash messenger violently, and the ash messenger was like a golden meteor, instantly hitting the body of the Night King.
Li Quan jumped from the broomstick and landed beside the Night King, who had fallen from his horse, and re-grasped the hilt of the Ember Bringer's sword.
The Ember Bringer was now stuck in the Night King's chest, nailing him to the snow.
"What's your last word?" Li Quan asked again.
"You have no idea what you're up against!" The Night King's voice was still calm and hoarse.
"Each other, each other." Li Quan said lightly.
With a thought, the golden light around the Ember Briele bloomed, burning with golden flames. I only heard the Night King's terrible screams for half a time, and the whole thing turned into a pile of ashes.
"Huh?"
Li Quan's eyes were sharp, and there was a cold and piercing crystal in the ashes of the Night King that had not been melted, and he immediately picked it up.
"What the hell?"
Although I don't know what the use is, let's put it away first, maybe it's a good thing.
At this point, he turned his head to look around, and there was nothing standing around.
With the Night King's death, all the Wraiths are automatically reduced to a puddle of icy water. All the ghouls who have lost their control are also stationary at the same time, and all of them fall.
As far as the eye could see, the ice field was silent, but it was crowded with a terrifying number of corpses.
Some of these corpses have existed for thousands of years, and they can be preserved in this ice and snow. But most of them are still just skeletons. Only the newly deceased corpses still have flesh and blood, and most of them are savages.
Li Quan had a headache and didn't know what to do with these corpses. The Wraiths use magic to manipulate these ghouls. In his place, it seems that there is only one way that may work.
Looking down at the frost sorrow on his right hand, Li Quanxin said, "This should also be considered magic, right?" I just don't know, can it be universal? ”
He lifted Frost Sorrow forward, closing his eyes, feeling his connection to the sword.
Frostmourn had surrendered to him after the last suppression, and had severed his connection to Azeroth in this world, and he was not resisted in the slightest.
"Get up! Eternal dead, immortal undead! Commanded by your new master, to serve me! ”
Li Quan unconsciously read out this passage, this should be some kind of spell of Frost Sorrow.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ghouls on the ground opened their eyes again.
Seeing this, Li Quan was suddenly happy in his heart, and it seemed that it had worked. He continued to feel the connection between the frost grief in his hand and the ghouls, and experienced the strange feeling. It seems that the souls stored in Frost Sorrow have inhabited these ghouls, and some of the souls of these ghouls have been pulled into Frost Sorrow and become part of this sword.
He didn't know what the exact principle was, which might involve the magic level.
The ghouls all over the mountains walked towards Li Quan, and then stood there quietly. Now that they have a new master, they are no longer the Night King, and they will serve Li Quan from now on.
Li Quan waved his sword and ordered the ghouls: "Line up for me, the men stand on the left, the women stand on the right, and the skeletons stand in the middle!" ”
I don't know if I understand it, the ghouls staggered a few times, crowded and crowded, and looked a little chaotic. There was chaos on the ice sheet.
Li Quan hurriedly canceled the order.
Frowning and thinking for a moment, he walked up to the ghouls one by one, holding the Ember Bringer in his left hand and the Frost Grief in his right hand.
"From this day forward, you all plant trees for me. Those who understand nod their heads, and those who don't understand...... Never mind. ”
These are just corpses, after all, and it would be impossible to expect them to work as efficiently as living people, and not even think about it. Li Quan fancy the large number of them, even if they can only do some simple actions, as long as they are given seeds, it is enough to rely on the vigorous vitality of the powerful seeds of the system.
Some of the ghouls reacted to Li Quan's words and really nodded. Li Quan was greatly satisfied, these ghouls are the little experts in planting trees in the future, and they should be taken care of.
As for those who were dumbfounded and didn't react at all after listening to his questioning, most of this happened to ghouls who had been too old for too long. Most of the ghouls who are too old are only skeletons and have no brains. So there was no reaction at all. Like this kind of ghouls, Li Quan will not keep them, and go up directly with a sword, and use the ash messenger to cut them into ashes.
This is a manual work, in order to solve the troubles here once and for all in the future, Li Quan has worked here for more than ten days.
Every day, a large number of "nodding" and "unresponsive" ghouls are identified, and those who nod stay and those who do not respond are hacked to death. The last remaining ghouls counted, and the number was still staggering, about 100,000!
Li Quan had some difficulty imagining what a terrible disaster would be caused if these ghouls invaded the south of the Great Wall and entered the area where humans lived. Fortunately, this kind of thing will never happen, at least in this plane of power. The threat of the strange spirits was completely eliminated by him. It is believed that according to his plan, this plane will enter a period of rapid development. Li Quan's short-term goal was to get rid of barbarism and enter the civilized world, and everything started with planting trees.
Since then, he has established three Iron Tree Cultivation Zones in the Game of Thrones Plane, namely: the Forrester Family Cultivation Area in Iron Tree Castle, the Wildling Cultivation Area south of the Wall, and the Ghoul Cultivation Area north of the Great Wall.
The ghoul planting area north of the Great Wall is the largest of the three iron tree planting areas, and has the largest number of laborers. These ghouls can work without eating or drinking, and as long as there is frost sorrow, they are not afraid that anything will happen to these ghouls.
Of course, these are just the first steps in his overall planning here. There are also larger areas of land in the south, and naturally all of them must be planted with iron trees. In the future, this will be the raw material base that will continuously provide high-quality iron tree materials for his other planes. Materials science, which is based on iron tree materials, will be developed when he returns to Earth this time.
He believed that the emergence of a new material, which was not inferior to steel in any way but weighed only one-tenth of the hardness of the same hardness, would inevitably cause violent vibrations around the world.
After a few more days, Li Quan strictly planned the range of activities for the ghouls, and only allowed them to plant trees in the land of eternal winter, far north of the Great Wall. The existence of the Ghoul Plantation will be a secret, and only as few people as possible will know about it.
Let the Great Wall of Desperation continue to exist. On the one hand, it is also a cover-up, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent the ghouls from getting out of control one day, and the night watch can serve as an insurance policy.
When she returned to the Great Wall, she saw that Melisandre still had that smiling expression, and before Li Quan could speak, Melisandre said to Li Quan: "The enemy of the Lord of Light has been eliminated?" ”
"Guess?" Li Quan said that he deliberately raised the bar with this woman. I don't know why, as long as this woman mentions the Lord of Light, he has a rebellious mentality in his heart. Perhaps his existence was mentioned in that prophecy, but in his opinion, it was absolutely impossible. Unless the other party is really a "god", doesn't that mean that his fate has long been predestined, and he is destined to come to the power plane to do all this?
In any case, he was unwilling to accept this picture.
"Although, you have never recognized yourself as the messenger of the Lord of Light, you have done what the Lord of Light needs you to do. You can't deny it either. Melisandre smiled and said, "Maybe one day, the Lord of Light will show you his true colors, just as he gave me an omen." I think you'll be surprised because he's going to be different from what you think. ”
"Oh? Could it be that the Lord of Light has three heads and six arms? Li Quan sneered, noncommittal, "Don't talk about this." Now that your mission in Westeros has been completed, would you be interested in hearing from me for a proposal? Alternatively, it can be referred to as a transaction. I've heard that the land of Essos is also very vast? ”
