After taking off the bronze armor, the corpse in the coffin began to decay rapidly, as if thousands of years had passed, all concentrated at this moment, and even the incorruptible deified transformed limbs had faded their color, and the surface was crawling with mottled rust.

"The soul of this transcendent is not complete."

Cheng Shen realized it later.

He didn't know if the soul of the transcendent would also change with the transformation of the life level. But as far as the soul of this transcendent person in front of him gave him, he felt like a puppet that had been extracted from his emotional perception.

Thinking is muddy.

Only a survival instinct remains.

Perhaps, this is the price it has paid for so many years.

Cheng Shen couldn't guess why, so he simply didn't bother anymore. Another thing that caught his attention was that after the transcendent's soul had self-destructed, he had clearly sensed a mysterious substance dissipating.

Hidden

Obscure

Unable to capture.

It's like a fleeting thought......

How do other people's thoughts perceive it? Cheng Shen doesn't have the ability to read minds, but the feeling that kind of material feedback gives him is so weird.

He was pretty sure it was never a delusion.

"In the depths of the soul, there are indeed more secret constituent substances."

Cheng Shen's thoughts moved slightly.

This situation is not even mentioned in the mutilated book of the Protoss.

But it confirmed some of his previous speculations......

Wow!

Cheng Shen picked up the deification transformation parts left by the transcendent person from the coffin, although these parts were rusty, they could still be used, and the active metal would not decay easily. A fragment of a broken sword fell out.

Reach out and pick it up.

This is the No. 2 fragment that connects the hilt to the blade.

The four pieces he now held could be pieced together into a complete broken sword.

Only the tip of the sword is missing.

And there's only one area left that hasn't been explored yet.

"I don't know what kind of surprise that devil has in store for me......"

Cheng Shen's thought flashed.

Subsequently.

He gathered his mind and began to receive the wealth of the castle.

Open the liege's screen, where the disposition of Stormcastle is listed. One, it is to choose to occupy it, become a dependent territory, and get everything about this castle, but at the same time suffer from its attendant effects.

For example, covenants and hostile relations.

If it has enemies, this cause and effect will be transferred to Cheng Shen's head. Also, the prestige impact it has caused on the surrounding powers for the sins it has committed in the past can also be a hindrance to the acceptance of a dependent territory.

Of course.

Receiving Storm Castle naturally doesn't need to worry about that.

It can't provoke other forces here, and the only thing that needs to be broken is the covenant with the deserted village.

And this will not bring much loss to Cheng Shen.

The second is demand.

Feeding a castle unit requires a lot of energy and food, which will indeed put a great burden on Cheng Shen.

If you can't afford it.

He would then have chosen the second option.

Destroy the castle.

At that time, the system will try its best to convert all the building facilities of the castle into basic resources.

It can also allow Cheng Shen to obtain relevant technical information and drawings.

If it is purely for the sake of plunder, this second solution is undoubtedly a better option.

But Cheng Shen must choose the first option at this moment.

He didn't need to worry about the enemies around him, there was no defensive pressure, and it was a pity that such a well-built castle would be destroyed.

"Occupy!"

He makes a decision.

[Hint: You've captured a new satellite province!] 】

……

On the Manage page, a detailed territory information will appear.

Cheng Shen then checked the situation of the castle.

【Storm Castle】

[Description: A solid castle, if you can clean up the hidden dangers inside, this will be a very suitable territory for development]

……

The three-dimensional three-dimensional graphics show every corner of the castle, and Cheng Shen saw that there was also an area behind the castle, where three independent buildings were established.

And these three buildings are the main source of the castle's troops.

【Temple of the Apocalypse】

【First Order】

[Level: Rare]

[Level: 3]

……

All three recruiting buildings have been upgraded to the same level as the castle, level three. This is also the upper limit level of a first-tier building. A full-level building means that all functions have been developed to the extreme.

The recruited units created by the owner of the castle through these three buildings are also a large amount of wealth that Cheng Shen obtained after taking over the castle.

Leave aside the limited number of production units.

There are still nearly 4,000 remaining combat units at Cheng Shen's disposal!

It was all his enemy, but now it's all for him!

With such a large force, I am afraid that it will be more than enough to bulldoze the deserted village!

"That devil must have set a trap in the deserted village, waiting for me to go in and die. Seaman also mentioned that there are many strange things about the deserted village...... So why should I follow the course it has set? ”

Cheng Shen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains, but most of the time it is more of a helpless choice.

But in front of him, a second way appeared at this moment......

Cheng Shen had a plan in his mind, but whether this plan could be implemented depended on whether the castle's technological level could support his needs.

"Deal with the hidden dangers inside the castle first......"

Cheng Shen took out the crystal ball.

Airplanes......

The surrounding space suddenly rippled like water waves, becoming full of illusion, and between the alternation of illusion and reality, Cheng Shen returned to the secret room on the third floor of the castle. He then finds a secret compartment in the chamber.

Inside the compartment is a thick piece of information.

Thereinto.

It contains all the details of the research related to the deification experiment.

And in this package of materials, Cheng Shen unsurprisingly found an ancient classic.

[Obtained: Book of Protoss (Broken)!] 】

……

"Sure enough...... Go back and let Arjeka decipher it. ”

Cheng Shen was looking forward to it.

The research on the deification experiment is indeed related to the secret information left by the Protoss, so it is very likely that the owner of the castle was also deliberately misled by the devil, and the concept of this cruel experiment will be completely overturned.

As long as it is not necessary to sacrifice innocent lives in exchange for the progress of active metal research.

Other costs are acceptable.

Put this paper away.

Cheng Shen turned to the alchemy workshop on the first floor of the castle. The hidden danger factor mentioned by the system refers to this group of extremely crazy alchemists.

Their souls have long been twisted.

Not processed.

Sooner or later, there will be trouble.

Cheng Shen had already gotten a detailed piece of information from He-Man.

Think about it in your head.

Among them, there are several alchemists whose negative psychology is not particularly serious, and they can be temporarily retained, but they must also be strictly guarded, and it is a good choice to maintain the original management system of the castle and lock them up here.

And more alchemists can't be reassuring just by being locked up.

Like He-Man.

If his obsession is not alleviated, the harm caused is probably no less than that of a weird! The unknown substance attached to his body even needs to pollute the source energy to suppress it, and the degree of harm can be imagined!

If, Cheng Shen can't find a way to help him completely solve his obsession after exploring the deserted village.

Then the first thing he has to deal with is He-Man!

The rest......

Cheng Shen, a botanist who ranked second in the degree of uncontrolled harm, has been killed.

Secondly, the worst is also at the level of Goblin Expert Hibbert.

The slightest mistake can turn into a dangerous bomb!

This group of people is determined to be disposed of, no matter how rare and special skills they have.

"Go and get them out."

Cheng Shen ordered.

A team of silver-armored guards, who had fully obeyed his orders, immediately rushed into the alchemy workshop and detained an alchemist who did not know what was happening in the castle.

Cheng Shen stood at the entrance of the pitch-black passage, looking at this group of science maniacs whose images were twisted and crazy, rubbing the crystal ball in their hands.

The surrounding environment is quietly changing.

------Off topic------

The state has not been very good in the past two days, and it has to be less, and how much is missing will be made up later......
