Chapter 5: Inspect the swamp
"What did you do to me?"
Isabel asked angrily.
If the look was a knife, Hudson would have been chopped into a pulp.
was full of anger and burned, but her body softened so that she couldn't raise the strength to resist.
The whole person fell into Hudson's arms, and the angry beautiful eyes added a bit of style, and the scene was particularly warm.
Reaching out and pinching the little pink face in front of him, Hudson said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, Miss Isabel. You're so charming, you can't help but ......."
"Forget it, you won't believe the truth. Let's talk about what you want to believe!
I'm timid by nature.
For the sake of safety, before I find out where you came from, I can only grieve you first.
But you can rest assured that I didn't drug you.
As a knight, I still know these rules.
I just learned a little magic recently, and I haven't had time to use it yet, so I just asked Miss Isabel to help test the effect today.
Pure negative energy will only make you temporarily lose the power to resist, and there is no harm to the body.
As long as you answer me a few questions, your body will recover in a while. After all, I also pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. ”
A simple introduction, but falling into Isabel's ears is like falling into the abyss. Trembling said:
"You're a necromancer?
That's impossible!
How could there be such a young necromancer?
Unless...... You...... Not Viscount Hudson......"
The more I thought about it, the more terrible it became, and Isabel's face turned pale in an instant, and even her voice became choppy in the end.
If the magicians who seek the truth are a group of research freaks; Necromancers, then, are a bunch of crazy people.
Falling into Hudson's hands, Isabel can also try to save herself.
She thinks she still has a good understanding of men's thoughts. In the absence of hatred, few people can be spicy with a delicate beauty like her.
But in the face of a necromancer who doesn't know how many years he has lived, the so-called beauty is a joke.
The group of mages who deal with corpses every day are different, and under the corrosion of yin qi, their bodies may have long lost their functions.
Without the bargaining chips to be proud of, Isabel is just as good as an ordinary woman.
"Miss Isabel, there are some things that cannot be said nonsense. For the sake of your beauty, I'll give you another chance.
Which side of the mysterious organization behind you belong to?
If you can't just say it, that's okay. I'll give you the answers, and you do the multiple-choice questions. If you don't want to answer directly, it's okay to hint.
After all, I'm the most affectionate person. If you don't know the identity of the business partner, how can you introduce the business to your friends?
No objection, just when you say yes.
Holy See?
Kingdom of the Franks?
Dante's kingdom?
Or maybe Caesar III?
……”
In one breath, he talked about all the great forces of the Terran race on the Aslant continent, and he didn't see Isabel reacting.
Hudson's brow furrowed, and his big hand became unsettled, so frightened that Isabel hurriedly explained, "My lord, I really don't know!
There has always been a one-line connection with the mysterious organization. I don't know who the members are other than the contacts.
Judging by the tasks accomplished over the years, I can only roughly guess that it may be related to the Holy See. As for whether it's true or not, I really have no way of knowing for sure! ”
It can be seen that she is really frightened. Falling into the hands of a necromancer, death is not the most terrible, what is even more terrible is that the dead soul will not be at peace.
"Understood, it turns out that you are just a pawn. It seems that it will be difficult to get a result from this interest light to talk to you.
Take this pill. Go back and tell your upline and let them send someone who can call the shots to talk. ”
With that, regardless of whether Isabel wanted it or not, Hudson fed her the pills.
The body had a little strength, but Isabel still didn't dare to move, so she honestly lay down in Hudson's arms and asked softly, "My lord, what is this pill?" ”
"Rest assured, it's good stuff. As long as you are obedient, nothing will happen.
It's not a few hundred years ago when we meet people from the Holy See and we can be friends. After the transaction is completed, you and I have nothing to do with each other.
If you're not honest, what will happen next, then I can't guarantee it.
Or many beautiful dolls, it is also a good choice. Don't worry, my technique is good. Refining dolls can also preserve your soul and help you live forever!
Of course, you can also choose to tell the people behind the scenes, and gamble to see if they have the ability to solve the problems in your body for you.
For the sake of everyone's acquaintance, I suggest you talk directly to the Pope, no one else is capable of it. Maybe he can ask the Lord of Dawn to take the lead and solve this hidden danger for you. ”
Hudson bragged as much as he could.
The fear of ordinary people for necromancers stems more from the unknown. Although Isabel's contact circle is not low, her singer background still makes it difficult for her to get in touch with the details of the necromancer.
In the rumors of the outside world, as a necromancer of a madman, he can do anything.
Not only are corpses tossed, but even living people are their experimental equipment. Refining dolls with living people is a kind of magic with high difficulty.
The more relaxed Hudson said, the more fearful Isabel became. If the necromancy was easy to break, the necromancer would not have the name he has now.
"Don't worry, my lord! I'll get things done, and I won't disappoint you! ”
……
Sending Isabel away, Hudson has another "Necromancer identity". I just don't know if I can bluff it, the mysterious organization behind the scenes.
It's a pity that Isabel is too smart, even if she enters the mysterious organization, she doesn't ask about what she shouldn't know.
It's just a few superficial information, which can lock the object of suspicion on the Holy See, which can be regarded as a strong analytical ability.
The truth behind the scenes, before the moment it is revealed, no one knows who is the real black hand.
For the top powers, it is normal to go out and do things under other people's vests.
Frankly, Hudson wished that the Holy See was behind the scenes, which meant that the Blood Moon Horn in his hand could be sold for a good price.
If the black hand is in the Alpha Kingdom, or King Caesar III, then the moment the curtain is opened, it is when Hudson himself sends things over.
Reward, pure dreaming. If you find something like the Blood Moon Horn and don't hand it over to the boss as soon as possible, it's okay if you don't get punished, and you still want to get a reward?
On the contrary, the Holy See, which is hated by everyone, now has more of a common language. With the title of Necromancer, he is the most needed partner of the Holy See right now.
Cults have all supported it, and it is not surprising to support and fund necromancers.
The Blood Moon Horn is a hot chicken rib for the nobles; For those who practice necromancers, it is the supreme treasure.
If the necromancer with the "evil weapon" wants to do something, the scene will not be much smaller than the last time the skeleton will make a disturbance.
Especially the place where it appears, it is still in the sensitive Alpha Kingdom. Once the matter is big, this black cauldron will be decided by the Holy See.
At the critical moment of the orc invasion, running to stab one's own people is not a crime that can be carried casually.
Once labeled as a "Terran traitor", the Dawn Church, which was already independent, would immediately fall apart.
The churches in various places can establish a separate church as a matter of reason. Even if the gods are not happy, the first ones who are unlucky are the people at the headquarters of the Holy See.
It can be said that from the beginning of the Necromancer's sign, the Holy See must get the Blood Moon Horn back from Hudson's hands, and the faster the better.
……
In the swamp, countless orc slaves are constantly digging into the mud. There was also a group of serfs behind him, reinforcing the silt slopes on both sides.
Slaves worked as coolies, and serfs did technical work. The division of labor is clearly distinguished.
These are the lessons learned in the process of developing the marshlands.
Compared with orc slaves, serfs still have a relatively strong learning ability. Based on the theoretical knowledge provided by Hudson, a set of reinforcement techniques was quickly explored.
Cooperate with each other in construction, not only the efficiency is much higher than when you worked alone before; Even the happiness of the serfs, that is skyrocketing.
Looking at the plots of land that had been divided, Hudson knew that most of the development tasks of the swamps this year would be greatly exceeded.
It's not that the people below work harder, it's purely because the number of people working has increased. The original construction team of more than 300 has now expanded to more than 500.
The arrival of a large number of serfs and hired laborers injected new impetus into the rapid development of the mountain territory.
In the era of shoulder-to-shoulder, more people is more power. Whether it is mining production, mountain reclamation, or swamp development, the speed is rising.
Patting the bear cub on the head, Hudson pointed to a green rice paddy field and said, "See, Bear Stearns."
That's your property, and from now on, you're one of the richest bears of the earth today.
Now take me for a walk in the swamp to see how much undeveloped land is still in place so that I can plan for the next step. ”
The swamp, Hudson had wanted to patrol for a long time. How can it be that bottomless mud is a forbidden area for human beings.
As a last resort, he could only fool his own bear. Although not a creature in the swamp, Bear Stearns has a reputation in this area.
The development of the marshland was not all smooth sailing. Along the way, they were attacked by swamp creatures, and the army overseeing the construction fought these alien creatures many times.
In the end, it was Bear Stearns who intervened and dealt a devastating blow to these invading races. The creatures that had escaped by luck now smelled the breath of the Earth Bear, and immediately ran away.
Even if it was just the feces and urine excreted by Bear Stearns, as long as you put it there, it would be difficult to see the swamp creatures within a radius of miles.
It's a pity that every time he goes out, Uncle Bear Stearns goes out to play by himself, and he doesn't want to take Hudson's oil bottle with him at all.
So much so that the swamp has been developed for so long, and Hudson has only a rough estimate of this swamp, without a specific concept.
Now that he wanted to open up a sea line of communication in this swamp, Hudson was not at ease if he did not go out to investigate on the spot.
"Hudson, don't you have any big plans? Be the first to declare, I don't have any money in my pocket now, Ben Xiong's last coffin, and I still have to maintain daily expenses, so don't worry about it. ”
Bear Stearns said with a wary expression.
From being fooled into participating in Hudson's territorial development plans, its good days were over. It's money and effort, and the easy-to-use bear head melon seeds quickly come back to taste.
It's a pity that the investment is risky, and there is naturally no reason to return the project funds invested. It is clearly written in black and white, and it is not easy to deny it.
Looking at the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land that has been developed, the bear who is unwilling to watch his investment go down the drain and let Hudson get all the benefits, finally gritted his teeth and persevered.
The habit of working is terrible, from the initial resistance, to the slow adaptation, which lasted for a long time, and Bear Stearns became accustomed to coming to work every day.
Having learned the lessons of the past, Bear Stearns saw that the family money he had reserved was extremely tight.
Except for the daily consumption of Xiongsheng, there is no interest in any other investment.
"Rest assured, great Mr. Bear Stearns. The swamp development funds have not been spent yet, and you are not required to increase your capital investment.
According to my arrangement, I will soon be able to break even. You don't need to worry about my ability to do business.
Now I'm just going out for a walk and looking at the size of this swamp. By the way, let's take a look at the surrounding terrain.
There are dangerous areas, you just bypass. Pick the nearest road, let's go to the beach first. ”
Hudson struggled to fool around.
To tell the truth, without Xiong Xin, he was speechless. How did the trust between humans and bears become like this?
Looking at Bear Stearns, who looked hesitant, Hudson couldn't help but sigh secretly: the intelligence of his combat partners is too high, and it is not a good thing.
It is estimated that the "beast knights" in the Aslant continent have no less headaches for this problem. There are not a few sad knights who can't get off the stage because of their own monsters.
No matter how much trouble there is, it can't resist everyone's desire for Warcraft. Having one more combat partner not only increases your strength, but also gives you an extra life on the battlefield.
In case you lose a battle on the battlefield, you will have a Warcraft mount with you, and you will run faster.
According to the experience of previous continental wars, the death rate of Warcraft Knights has always been the lowest. As long as you are not too unlucky and are entangled by the enemy's strong man, you can basically run away.
"Don't worry, Hudson! I've long been familiar with this area.
There is a bear covering, as long as you don't die yourself, then there is no danger. ”
Bear Stearns patted his chest and assured with confidence.
Looking at that dazed expression, it was clearly telling Hudson: Uncle Xiong is very powerful, hurry up and praise me!
