Chapter 163: A Long Talk Through the Night (I)

"Such a dangerous thing. Of course I didn't dare to do it. I've never heard of anyone absorbing necromantic flames to their deaths, this necromantic flame is definitely something unprecedented, danger means opportunity, you're a Skochenian, don't you understand?"

"How did you succeed?"

"Luckily, I only spent a few dozen gold coins anyway, and I didn't care about the loss. Since I am a magician, I began to study this necromantic flame, and it turned out that there was already an undead creature in this necromantic flame, and this undead creature took the initiative to communicate with me. ”

"There is such a thing?" Although Salin is not a necromancer, but after meeting the Three Monarchs, he also began to make up for the knowledge of necromancers, with Daniel and the mages of Shreig Island, he learned no less than ordinary necromancers. Before signing the contract, the undead actually took the initiative to communicate with humans, and what is even more bizarre is that the undead is a plant.

"I don't believe it either, so ......" Aini didn't continue, but Salen had understood, and Aini had the skills to set pact traps. Of course, it was a seemingly fair pact with the undead.

"Actually, it's very simple, this necromantic flame is not an undead, in the process of fusion, the guy who wants to become a necromancer lacks mental power, resulting in a magic backlash. The undead in the necromantic flames also suffered, and for fear of disappearing into this plane, they had to devour the soul of the unfortunate one. This is not good for them, but fortunately, one of the two undead is a plant undead who can slowly digest the human soul and not be obliterated by the rules of this plane. ”

"What about the other one?" Salin was curious, signing two undead at a time, one of which was still a plant undead, and the other must also be a very rare thing.

"It's a rare flesh and blood undead, it sounds disgusting, but it's actually just something that doesn't look much different from a living monster.

"What good luck!" Salin sighed, every time he advanced and gained, he almost relied on desperate efforts to get back, and Aini used less than a hundred gold coins to buy such a special necromantic flame, and also came with two extremely special undead.

However, he was not jealous, and Aini's previous fate was too bumpy, a genius young magician, but as a result, he fell into a curse, and the magic string gradually disappeared. What a pain it is. All the pain before seems to be for the reward later.

"I think you're lucky, what level were you when we were separated? Now you're a fifth-level magician. You know, before becoming a magician, elemental mages were much more difficult to practice than necromancers.

Salin just smiled, where would a magician believe in any luck, only with continuous efforts every day can it really be controlled in his hands. If you want to rely on luck, what is the difference between that and an ignorant adventurer? When someone heard that a green dragon had appeared in Gaoshan County, they flocked to it, and how many of those people were only junior swordsmen.

Even if the Green Dragon is a very weak branch of the dragon clan, a single dragon flame can kill dozens of junior swordsmen. As for the dragon flame of the green dragon, it is not the same level as the dragon's breath at all, and the consumption is extremely low, and the green dragon can almost spit out hundreds of mouthfuls of dragon flame in a single battle, and it will not affect any combat effectiveness.

Humans are such strange creatures, knowing that there is a huge disparity in strength, they still want to try. As long as there are enough benefits, there will be countless people who are not afraid of death to take risks.

"Deepwood's weapons line. Is it still yours?"

"It's mine, what's wrong? That's the family's compensation for me. ”

"I want to establish a stronghold here, don't you think it's too strange for the dark mage to disappear?"

Aini thought for a moment and didn't answer. He estimated that this matter was related to the Holy See, and the topic related to the Holy See, he did not want to discuss it near the Three Kings. Unless the contract trap is in effect, the Three Kings become his and Sareen's contract creatures.

Saleen didn't say it directly, he saw that Ani already understood, and continued: "This place looks remote, but it can actually penetrate Skocinia from the Swamp of Chaos the fastest. “

"How fast?" Aini's eyes lit up, if there was a shortcut to Skochenia from Deep Woods, even if it was through the Swamp of Chaos, it would be worth it.

"Soon, to the east of Didipus, there was a secret passage that led directly through the mountains into the Swamp of Chaos. Hold that secret passage in your hands, and all that's left is the threat of the Chaos Swamp Monster. That's not a threat to a powerful mage, is it?"

"Is the location of the secret passage the land of Scochenia?"

"Of course not, otherwise I'm not talking in vain. ”

"If so...... Need money!" Ani immediately began to calculate, he put almost all the money into the new city of Saleen, and he brought with him not only five hundred swordsmen, but also a large number of construction materials. In addition, among the items he bought were huge quantities of grain, seeds, medicinal herbs, and so on. As soon as the city is up and running, its value will immediately multiply. The problem is that these things are holding down his funds, and he wants to run a stronghold in Deep Forest Town. He's on a tight budget.

"I can contribute some of the money. Salin said with a grin.

"This is where I made my fortune, and you want to get a share too?"

"I'm going to buy this town. If you can get to Skoccian as quickly as possible, it's more than just a commercial value. ”

Startled by Saleen's words, Ani bought a small town? How much does it cost? Besides, this town belongs to the Grand Duke of Phoenix. Although there are many rumors about the new Grand Duke of Phoenix, no matter how weak the Grand Duke is, he will not cede a town, right?

"Isn't that crazy? It's actually very simple, let's build a small town north of the Duchy of Phoenix, send a banner regiment of soldiers, and the Grand Duke of Phoenix will succumb. You know, Phoenix has not been threatened by the north since ancient times, and the nobles there have lived in very safe land for a thousand years and have long not known how to fight. The last time the black mage was suppressed, it wasn't Saint Rock City who was behind it. Phoenix has tens of thousands of regular troops, and what happened in the end? Caught a few dark magicians?"

Salin talked eloquently, and as soon as he was exposed to a lot of upper-level affairs, he couldn't see the problem like Aini. If Saleen had told Rex that he was going to buy Deep Woods, Rex would have asked about the rebuilding right away, without considering whether the Grand Duke of Phoenix would have agreed.

A weak principality, what are you waiting to do if you don't squeeze?

If the Grand Duke of Phoenix is tough, as soon as Saleen builds a city in the north, it will immediately attract the Duchy of Phoenix to expand northward and resist the pressure brought by the Bitter Water Prefecture.

Before that. No principality or county has dared to build a city across tens of thousands of miles. By doing this, Rex was already spitting in the face of the Grand Duke of Phoenix.

"Rex doesn't want to be emperor, does he?" said Aini, joking in order to soften the impact of Saleen.

She certainly didn't think about it, but she couldn't help it in the future. Salin replied in a serious tone.

Ani was stunned again, thought for a moment, and understood what Saleen meant. Rex's main focus now is on how to fight the Holy See and accumulate strength. But if one day in the future, she can overthrow the Holy See, it means that she already has the capital to build an empire. Even if she didn't want to be the emperor at that time, her subordinates wouldn't agree.

Not everyone is born and dies with you because of loyalty, and the nobles who follow you will also have interests. If you support Rex as emperor. It will definitely give birth to a group of great nobles.

These things sound ethereal, but in fact, the turmoil on the continent has caused panic among some clever nobles. The war in Garolan has not ended for a long time, and it seems that the Holy Rock City has lost control of Garulan, which will inevitably lead to more speculation. If Rex rises strongly, without her solicitation, a large number of nobles will come to surrender.

Nominally, this is not a rebellion.

Prince Sephiroth refused to become emperor himself, fearing that he would arouse the displeasure of the local nobility. The bones of Chanak the Great were cold, and he didn't want to do it. After all, Chanak's son and daughter are still alive, Rex has been driven out of Holy Rock City by him, and if he dethrones the other son, the empire will immediately fall into chaos.

In Qin, Rex is the second heir to the throne, and if her younger brother dies and there are no descendants, the throne must pass through her before it is Sephiroth's turn. The biggest headache for Sephiroth was that the court mages were nominally not involved in politics, but would in fact support the Chanak branch until they were all dead.

Qin Yin's court mages have always been very mysterious, and the outside world doesn't know their details, but Sephiroth does. If he rebelled, Saint Rock City would definitely not be able to stay, so he would have to start anew.

The current emperor, who is Rex's younger brother, has been sick since he was a child, and he has always been taken care of by the court mage, and if Sephiroth kills him, the court mage will definitely fight back immediately. The mages don't care how much it costs politically, the emperor is the child they take care of, they care about feelings.

These are things that Aini needs to think about to vaguely understand, and Salin has heard and seen it by Rex's side, even if he is not from a noble background, he has learned almost everything.

Fortunately, this seems to be somewhat helpful for learning magic, and many magicians travel at the level of Salen. Gain insight. There are a lot of things that you can't learn in books.

"Salin, you've changed a lot. "Aini was aroused by Salin's ambition. Saleen is about as tall as he is, and now has a faint tendency to become a big man. As a magical genius, although he didn't value these intrigues, these things could quickly increase his strength and allow him to obtain more resources.

A successful mage is built by occupying a lot of resources. Aini had long understood this.
