Chapter 20 The Developers of Sanzang Town
"Brother Mike, all those demons and monsters these days, you passed through them without even blinking your eyes, are you really not worried at all?" After returning from the Dragon Palace, Sermena reluctantly found Mike again because of another matter.
More than half a month has passed since the arrival of the first wave of investors, Adrian, and more than a dozen waves have come one after another, of which there are seven relatively large waves: the Reylagunn family of Melwater, which has been expanded to 150 warriors and 800 slaves, has applied for a contract of 4,000 acres of land; the Mumasters, a total of 300 warriors and 1,000 civilians and slaves, have applied for a contract of 5,000 acres of land; the mysterious customers who have been promised, 10 people, to assist in the defense of the small commodity factory; Kasur, a pioneer who calls himself Enser, has 50 warriors and 0 slaves, and has applied for a contract of 3,000 acres of land; Canneszar, a berserker who calls himself Laisserman, and 80 warriors and 0 slaves, applying for a contract of 1,000 acres of land; Mukula, a storm messenger who claims to be a local of the Moon Sea, five priests, forty warriors, and three hundred slaves, applies for a contract of 3,000 acres of land; Lauvita Priest Eminwei, who claims to be from Dragon Bay, three priests, five warriors and one hundred slaves, applies for a contract of 1,000 acres of land.
The first three waves of people are fine, but the last four waves of people look suspicious.
Kasur, the pioneer of Enser. Ense is 108,000 miles away from here, how the hell is the news transmitted so quickly that you can come, not to mention why you have to travel thousands of miles to this place, is it not to contract wasteland? In this case, you 50 people will have to reclaim 3,000 acres, isn't it too tiring?! And why do you people have horns on their heads and tails behind them, it's obviously the demon/devil half-breed Tiefling that everyone shouts at!
Lesserman came the berserker Cannesher. Lesserman is not 108,000 miles away from here, but there are still more than 1,000 kilometers, and it is also separated by Lake Assen, the eastern bay, the Tu Ma Range, and several countries. How the hell did you get the news in that extremely xenophobic country? And isn't it too little that you have 80 soldiers who only contract 1,000 acres of land?!
Mukura, a local stormbringer of the Moon Sea. You're a stormbringer, are you too many high-ranking gods of the Scourge Church to use them up, otherwise what are you doing with such a big man running this ruined place that is all inhuman races, are you going to change your course and absorb goblin believers more vigorously?
Priest Amina of Lauvita from Dragon Bay. Dragon Bay is indeed much more convenient to get here than Enser Lethman, only a thousand kilometers and the Sea of Falling Stars is connected, and the identity of the middle-level priest is indeed much more reliable than that of the Storm Bringer, but the problem is that the main business of the priest who abuses the goddess should not be to throw gold and silver with all kinds of tricks, how could you run to such a broken place where there are not even many normal people? Could it be that we have traveled thousands of miles just to support the construction of Sanzang Town, then we are really moved! But why are there werewolves among your warriors, werewolves who will be burned to death in the civilized world......
For these people, Mike gave them land deeds with a stroke of a pen, and also allowed Pastor Ball and Pastor Eminway to preach freely in their respective contracted areas.
"Say, have you been seduced again?" said Judge Sermena.
"What are you talking about? Mike's eyes turned to the side, "It's not like we need a priest because of the population boom and the poor medical conditions." β
"Just their sadistic ......"
"It's better than nothing. β
"Humph......"
Mike isn't such a casual person either, at least not with the priests who abuse the goddess yet. These people that Sermena found extremely suspicious, he knew or could more or less guess the origin.
Kasur, the pioneer of Enser. Although there is no evidence, Mike intuitively believes that this group is related to the mysterious customer of small goods, otherwise why would they choose the old tree root to reclaim the difficult ground, except for the secret factory below. Even if you guess wrong, it doesn't matter, some unknown people are just a few of them in Sanzang Town, and there are not many of them. 3000 acres, approved.
Cannestha, the berserker from Lesserman, is definitely a high-level Torre knight from Torre! Mike, as a high-level red-robed mage, can clearly sense the hidden magic patterns on his body. Although he didn't want to get involved with Torre's people, he refused directly and was worried that they would be suspicious, so he used the excuse that they were too few people and could only contract 1,000 acres at most, hoping that they would leave less. Unexpectedly, the other party happily immediately received the title deed and prepared to settle in, and was very enthusiastic about selling "a large number of high-quality and cheap gnolls slaves". As a last resort, Mike had to immediately start washing off the red robe secret technique to avoid suspicion, and he didn't even dare to return to Sanzang Town during this time.
Mukura, a local stormbringer of the Moon Sea. Although he didn't know the specifics, he was holding the 3,000 acres of land deed that Mike had given to the dwarves in Dyer Hall a few days ago, and there was obviously some connection between the two.
Pastor Eminway, Lauvita from Westgate City in Dragon Bay. Mike discovers that one of the werewolf warriors inside is Iger, the number one of the newly added followers of the notorious Death Truth Cult of Faircrag. From this point of view, Ai Minwei's real identity should probably be a cultist who believes in the Death Truth Cult. This kind of person should have been turned away, but how to say it, Eminwei is quite attractive, and Eagle appeared relatively late......
There are some not-so-glorious religions in the territory that are actually fine, but the Death Truth Cult is an out-and-out cult -- the cult here is not a cult on the earth, but it exercises spiritual control over its followers, wantonly collects money through its followers, infringes on individuals' bodies, disrupts the normal social order, causes judicial disputes, infiltrates public authorities, and so on, and so on, all of which are "normal religious behaviors" that all false god churches have to a greater or lesser extent.
The cults of this world refer to religious organizations that are extremely anti-social and anti-human. For example, the Church of Talona, the goddess of poison and plague, who claims that disease promotes evolution and takes it as its mission to develop chemical weapons to spread plagues, the Church of Marat, the king of beasts who preaches the survival of the fittest and warns the world by hunting humans and killing humans, and the Death Truth Church, which glorifies death and sings about eternity, and helps the living understand the truth by turning the living into spirits.
But killing the living and man-made undead wasn't the real reason Mike wanted to keep the Death Cult out of the Cult - the goblins were killed, and the paladins of the Tyre Church, the god of law and justice, were killing faster and harder. The point is that Roseda has a very bad habit of using direct spells to control others.
Although the "Gu" thing is ethereal, everyone should have some impression that there are similar things in this world.
In the bottomless abyss of the demon's lair lives a super fat boy named Orcas, who is known as the Three Evils of the Abyss along with the two-headed baboon Di Demon Gaogen and the six-fingered deformed Grazt. In order to achieve his ulterior motives, Fat Boy created an evil undead creature that could reproduce on its own, later known as the Sneaky Cyst. This undead creature is not very powerful, but it can lay eggs and reproduce on living creatures, and after hatching, it will parasitize in the host body - somewhat similar to roundworms, but it is much more harmful, at least the latter will not break out when they become adults.
If a caster with abnormal nerves implants the sneaky cysts into their bodies after special treatment, they can form the so-called "mother cyst", through which they can cast a series of cyst spells, which can not only spread the sneaky cyst eggs, but also control the sneaky cyst larvae to a certain extent, and monitor, attack and even completely dominate the parasited.
Mike was sure that the necromancer Roseda had implanted the mother capsule - after the incident of Laxis, he found out that Harry had been parasitized by the sneaky cyst, but fortunately it was found early and handled properly, otherwise it would have caused extremely serious damage. At that time, Harry had only been out for a long time, and he had only been in contact with a few people, who else could do this kind of thing but Roseda? But at least he still had some eyesight, and he didn't use this method on Mike, otherwise the omnipotent traverser and high-end mage would definitely immediately call the Dragon Palace and the dark elves and other masters to fight him to the street. Laxis is not suspicious, her arcane skills are very loose and the priest's magic is not at all, although the druid magic is quite level, but the health care combat system developed by this elf is completely incompatible with the self-harm method of cysts.
It's hard to say whether this Pastor Eminway, who is very likely to be a cultist, has been implanted in a mother sac, but as the saying goes, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
"Here, let the doctor check your body. β
"Get out!"
"Cut, I don't know how many young girls cry and shout and want me to check and can't get in line......"
"Speaking of inspections, I heard that you've been playing body-swapping games with Kena every day lately, do you feel like you're being plugged upside down?"
"Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean by 'playing a game of swapping bodies every day', I just wanted to see if I could help her strengthen her body, so I changed it once. β
"It doesn't matter if it's once or a few times, just say how it feels. β
"How could I, a man with such a normal sexual orientation, allow that kind of thing...... However, in order to satisfy your sister's strong thirst for knowledge, my brother and I can reluctantly sacrifice it, so that you can experience the thrill of flying into the sky. β
"If you're not afraid of getting hurt, it's not impossible. β
"Cut...... Speaking of which, sister, do you have a gender cognitive disorder?,Although the body is a woman, deep down I always thought I was a man.γ β
"Probably not......
"Maybe. Brother, I have recently refined pharmacology and gained a lot, why don't I carefully mix a few doses of good medicine, and see if you can still rescue it, sister?"
"Okay. But if you can't cure it, you'll have to lend me your Shadurella. β
"It's a deal!"
"Cut...... Speaking of which, how are you strengthening Kena'er, didn't you say that you can only strengthen yourself?"
"yes, I'm just going to give it a try. β
The high-end technology nerds on the earth are often weak, but the high-end magic houses of the other world are all vigorous, and the key is to "strengthen the body" in this way, and it can also prolong life. It's just a pity that this must have a strong soul as the foundation, and it doesn't work to find someone else to temporarily occupy your body to strengthen it, and Mike's attempt also proves this - if you want to help Kena Er strengthen, you must first completely fuse the soul with her body, just like occupying this carefully created body in the first place, it is obviously not feasible.
Mike wanted to strengthen Kenael, not because he wanted her to become more capable of fightingβeven if she was a hard-pressed little mage who could only use Tier 1 spells, no matter how much she strengthenedβhe wanted her lover to be healthier and live longer. The omnipotent time-traveler knew nearly forty methods of life extension, and there were more than a dozen that he could use himself and thought that the side effects were acceptable, and only two or three were expected to be available to Audrey, and even more so that Kenar and Cecilia could use none. Even if they become vampires, with their mental strength, they will change their temperament greatly due to the influence of foreign blood on their souls in as little as three or five months or as long as two or three years, and they are still them at that time? What's more, another thing also makes Mike quite concerned: vampires should already be considered dead, and if the X corpse is a corpse, will it be too heavy-mouthed?
However, vampires do not belong to corpses, you can think about it slowly, and the top priority is to send them away from Sanzang Town, where the demons are dancing wildly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable if something happens. Although you can go directly to ask Kenaer what she thinks, if you think about it carefully, it is better to find a caring little padded jacket to probe her mouth first, in case Kenar wants to go to a place she doesn't want her to go, she can be a little prepared.
So, the great master who was worried about the country and the people teleported to Sentia and found Audrey, who was playing with Chenidi.
"Audrey, Sanzang Town is now attracting a lot of exposure for investment promotion, and it has attracted a lot of ill-intentioned guys, I am worried that if it continues to develop like this, I am afraid that Sentia will not be complete here. Askatra's preparations were still far off, and Faturi didn't want them to know about the absurdity, so I was afraid that they would have to go to the Dragon Palace for a while. But Kennar and Cecilia don't like it there, do you think they'll say yes?"
"If the master insists, they will always say yes. But ......" Audrey teased Sinedi again for a while before she looked up at Mike and spoke again, "Although Miss didn't mention it, Audrey knows that she has always wanted to go to the master's house very, very much, and Audrey too." And ......"
Speaking of this, Audrey suddenly retched, and Mike hurriedly smoothed her back.
Moreover, Audrey is also pregnant with a baby, and I only found out the day before yesterday. β
"However, the environment is different and relatively closed, and you may not be used to it. Mike hesitated. In fact, what you have been doing is my home, and I am a traveler who has no other relatives, but I can't tell you...... "And for some reason, if you go, you may have to stay for several years and not be able to come back, and I have never been able to go back......"
"We know that when the master leaves home alone, most of them have some special tasks. Therefore, Miss and Audrey have always been afraid, afraid that one day after the master's task is completed, they will suddenly leave alone without a sound......" As she spoke, Audrey turned her head, not wanting him to see her tears.
Mike hugged the beautiful woman and was silent for a while, "No, you can rest assured." And I'm sorry, I didn't know that before. Since this is the case, then I will send you back as soon as possible, but I do have to go through the relevant procedures first, it will take a little time, can I go to the Dragon Palace for a while?"
"Hmm. β
"Teacher, teacher. β
"What's the matter, it's that sword again? Didn't you say you shouldn't look for it? β
"No, teacher, I haven't been looking for that sword for a long time. "I'm not looking for much, it means that I'm actually still looking for it," That's right, my recent movement in Sanzang Town may be a bit big, and the lower limit of the Yuehai people is relatively low, so I want to send my wife and children to a safe place. In the case of Yin Soul City, do you think it is appropriate, teacher?"
'Alas, if you have to build a home out of thin air, you can only deal with Yin Soul City in advance. I hope that my brother will not be asked to do some trivial things that will damage the glorious image of the people of the seven billion earth. β
"Magic is second to none, and the defense is impregnable, so what could be inappropriate. β
"No, isn't it true that people who are not of pure color-resistant blood will be treated as second-class citizens?"
"Who told you, isn't Hajhorner just an elf, where is half a color-resistant bloodline? β
Hajhorner is the deputy city lord of Yin Soul City, the right-hand man of the Grand Arcanist Xia Duo, and it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people.
"But I remember ......"
"If you don't study the history of the empire, you don't learn it, and you don't know a lot about it. β
"I've worked so hard, how can I learn it all at once, and what does the history of the empire have to do with the racism of the Shadow City......
"Listen, I, Nesser, founded the country with arcane arts, it is a super empire that has conquered countless countries and integrated countless nations, only ask about talent and not about origin, there is no so-called pure and noble Nessera bloodline, and it is naturally impossible for Yin Soul City to ask for that. β
β...... This kind of argument comes out of the mouth of you, an old antique who is the supremacy of imperial bloodline and only talent, and it is really full of disobedience. β
"However, Yin Soul City does have corresponding requirements in similar aspects. At this point, the Grand Arcanist changed his words. "As everyone knows, the smart mind is better than the stupid, the strong is better than the thin, and the one with the blood of a warlock is better than the none, if this is used as a basis for artificial birth control from generation to generation to remove the inferior and retain the good, then thousands of years later, will everyone have a smart mind and a strong body and a warlock bloodline, all of them are geniuses who once met once in a hundred years? However, the city of the Shadow is located in the shadow plane, the desert is very well enclosed, and the conditions are unique, so the council decided to use it as a pilot to carry out a comprehensive national quality improvement plan. β
"Today, after hundreds of generations of continuous optimization, supplemented by excellent education and health conditions, the average quality of the residents of Yin Ghost City has far surpassed that of other places, with a mere 20,000 adult population, more than 3,000 middle- and high-level spellcasters of all kinds have been cultivated, which is enough to rival the Thunder Tractor with a population of 5 million. In this case, how can those immigrants with mediocre qualities deserve to be on an equal footing with my color-resistant people?"
β...... Your tone is exactly the same as that of Mr. Xi, extreme racism, do you dare to say that you don't ask about your origin?'
"However, if you want to improve quickly, it is important to eliminate inferior individuals, and the introduction of high-quality bloodlines cannot be ignored. Therefore, for thousands of years, Yin Soul City has been consciously and continuously introducing various talents. Since those women can be favored by you, they must have their merits, even if they can't meet the standard of active invitation, with your current identity and strength, marriage introduction is not a problem. β
"Okay, teacher, I'll rest assured. "'The so-called active invitation, in fact, is simply a forcible kidnapping! Brother, this otherworldly warlock bloodline, must far exceed the standard of active introduction, is it possible that if you don't take the initiative to join, you will be kidnapped? This world is really too dangerous...... Hey, speaking of Warlock Bloodline......'
"Teacher, a question suddenly occurred to me. Different warlocks have different bloodline training and stimulation methods, and if they are mixed with each other, it is difficult to determine and interfere with each other, which often leads to the failure to excite, so the warlock family has to intermarry internally to ensure the purity of the bloodline. How did the Shadow City deal with the alien warlocks and prevent them from having children?"
"How is it possible, how can a stronger warlock bloodline be introduced. The correct thing to do is to allow them to intermarry, but only one method of training a warlock is taught in school. In this way, the right type can naturally be integrated, and the type that is not suitable will not only take time and become a talent, but will be naturally eliminated after a few generations. β
β......β
"You don't have to worry about this, although the Warlock bloodline in Yin Soul City is a composite bloodline formed by the fusion of a variety of Warlock bloodlines, after all, it is based on the Fairy Fairy Classification Pik Essence Bloodline, and the training method can be completely universal. Isn't it their latest set that you've been practicing, I think the effect is good, and the improvement is very fast. β
β...... Teacher, you're cheating, I've always thought that I was practicing the secret legend of the Lytham family, no wonder I've always felt that the activation of elemental spells is not as sharp as I imagined. β
"In this way, the color-resistant bloodline in the world's mouth actually refers to the compound warlock bloodline dominated by the Pik essence line?"
"That's true. Alas, I think that this kind of bloodline in the empire was not superior back then, and it was seventy percent less in quantity than the water goblins of similar quality. Although it is true that the sons of Shado inherited this kind of bloodline from Alesha because of the Yin Soul City, but the two main relics of Harua and Nimbro Island, which are the main remnants of my Naish, coincidentally chose this kind of bloodline as the foundation for quality improvement when the magic net collapsed and could not communicate, which can only be said to be the will of heaven. Therefore, we unanimously decided to call this type of bloodline color-resistant bloodline. β
"I see. "'It's a lot of words, but it doesn't turn out to be color-resistant blood. β
"Okay, that's all for today, you have to read more books in the future, so as not to be foolish in that half-understanding. β
"Okay teacher, I see. But there's another thing, I feel like I'm getting more and more famous, and I'm worried that someone will investigate and find out that it's not right, so I want to ask Netherworld to have an experience of growing up there, what do you think?"
"Is this necessary, you just say it's my apprentice. β
"No, my wives have always wanted to have a home. "And your reputation is so bad, how dare I dare to make a relationship with my identity that I plan to make public. The strength of Yin Soul City is strong and escapes from the world, and it is really an excellent model for outsiders.
"It's a nuisance. Forget it, anyway, I have to be present to confirm when I register my real name, so why don't you come to me tomorrow, I'll take you over, and a few things will be done together. β
"Okay teacher, then I'm sorry for you. One more thing, I'm a little worried about being taken over by people in Sanzang Town, and I wonder if you or they might send some people over. β
"Well, it should be fine. I'll tell them, and you can talk to yourself when the time comes. β
"Good teacher. However, I need some events to prepare materials here, and I'm afraid it won't be too late tomorrow. Can you go at the beginning of May, I plan to live there for two months, do everything that needs to be done, and by the way, stimulate the bloodline to learn a secret technique. β
"It's the 12th, and there are almost 20 days left...... Well, let's start next month. By the way, I see that your metalworking is quite good, you can talk to them about cooperation, mass production of ordnance and even daily necessities, and make more samples these days. Think about it carefully and see if there are any other things, all of which are handled together, saving you a lot of back and forth. β
"Okay teacher, I see. However, we have difficulties in buying steel in large quantities, can Yin Soul City solve it?"
"Don't worry about this, my groundbreaking invention is about to come out, and when the time comes, it will be just waiting for ore to be turned into iron and iron into steel. As for now, there are thousands of spellcasters in Yin Soul City, and magic alone can refine this bit of steel. β
β...... Okay teacher, I got it. "Could it be that this is the big move you've been holding back? But I remember that you never said anything about it.
The other side.
"Audrey, it's not good for you to lie to him like this. β
"Miss, don't talk nonsense, it's Mama's misdiagnosis, you can't blame Audrey at all......"
"But ......"
"Besides, even if it's really Audrey who lies, what can he do, at most, it's a few more beastly hair, maybe he's really pregnant. β
"Uh......"
"Miss, let's not think about these little things first, time is pressing, and if we don't leave, we won't be able to spend all the money in the private house." β
"Hmm!"
