Chapter Seventy-Eight: Planning
"Lord of the Castle. Seeing the young man appear, the nobles in the side hall, except for a limited number of viscounts, all stepped forward to salute. Locke had been staying with the fourth uncle, Bahu, but he didn't get up to pay a visit.
The moment he saw the young man appear, Locke's pupils shrank, his heart was shocked, and the thoughts in his mind turned.
Although Locke has not seen this legendary city lord, he has also collected information about the city lord of Da Mo, and Han Yun, the city lord of Da Mo Dao, is one of the top powerhouses in Da Mo City, and his strength has already reached the level of a senior warrior.
Locke was not surprised by the city lord's youth, it must be known that after the professional broke through to the advanced level, the vitality in his body increased, and his life span increased greatly, and he naturally looked younger. Locke was amazed that the young man himself seemed to have seen it there.
Locke's thoughts were in a hurry, and he was constantly recalling the people he had seen, and the people that Ealing remembered more deeply. In a short period of time, Locke discovered that the appearance of the city lord was somewhat imaginary with the fire mage he had killed in the bandit cottage some time ago.
When Locke recalled these memories, he immediately determined that the young mage he had killed should be the son of the city lord in front of him.
After making such a judgment, Locke couldn't help but feel a faint sense of crisis in his heart. With his current strength, he is invincible to intermediate professionals, but when he encounters senior professionals above level seven, he still has no power to resist.
Fortunately, although it is impossible for Locke to compete with the seventh-level existence now, he still has a way out when he is in danger, and it is a big deal to give up Yilin's identity and return to the undead plane. Moreover, Locke believes that the current Da Mo City Lord should not know that Lu Dao killed his son by himself, and as long as he gives himself a certain amount of time, it is still no problem to break through to the sixth level and advance to the lord level.
"It seems that now it's time to summon undead creatures and advance to high-level professionals as soon as possible. Locke couldn't help but think in his heart.
In the following time, the city lord Han Yun told about the current situation in Damo City.
Some aristocratic families in Damo City also occasionally explained. Some of the benefits were divided among the new nobles like Locke by the lord of Damo City, and at the same time, these nobles also need to work for Damo City.
In the meantime, Locke didn't say a word, listening to the other nobles talk about it.
From the words exchanged by these nobles, Locke also had a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the situation in Damo City.
In the past two or three months, a large number of nobles have come, including Locke, which has increased the number of nobles in Damo City by one-third. These nobles who came to Damo City were all like Yi Lin, and they themselves came with the force provided by their families.
As for Da Mo City, the reason why there has been a big change in the past half a year is that Da Mo City discovered a scattered magic crystal vein outside the city half a year ago. Initially, it was the power of the Han family, the lord of Damo City, who discovered the magic crystal vein, but in less than a month, the news of the discovery of the magic crystal vein outside Damo City was leaked.
Any magic crystal vein has an extremely huge value, even if it is a scattered magic crystal vein, it is not something that a Han family can eat.
The news of the appearance of the Demon Crystal Vein spread throughout Damo City at an extremely fast speed. It is coveted by many nobles and powerful foreign forces in Damo City.
Although the Han family is the strongest force in Damo City, in the face of more external forces, it is not enough to defend the magic crystal vein. As a last resort, the Han family joined forces with the many nobles of Damo City, and finally secured the magic crystal vein.
In the initial struggle, the city lord Han family's strength was not lightly lost, and it was not until he united with all the nobles of Damo City that the situation was stabilized. However, as time went by, the strange thing was that more and more foreign forces poured into Damo City, making the aristocratic forces of the entire Damo City suffer a lot of blows
Therefore, in the later period, Yilin and many nobles poured into Damo City. Originally, a scattered vein of magic crystals was discovered, and the Floyd family had to send at least one high-level professional to fight for it, but this time, somehow, only Yilin was sent to Damo City.
As a nobleman of Damo City, Locke also got a smaller share of the magic crystal vein in this gathering. However, even with this very small share, the family was no less than the resources that Locke usually received from the family, and in a year, almost thousands of gold coins came in.
Of course, high income also means high risk. Locke, like the other nobles, also needs to contribute to the defense of this magic crystal vein. The vast area where the Magic Crystal Vein is located has almost become a dangerous area, and the nobles guarding it will be killed from time to time.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Locke, like the other newcomers to the nobles, was assigned the task of guarding the Demon Crystal Vein. Of course, although these nobles took over the task, they didn't need to go in person, in fact, these nobles of the title, after losing several in a row, no longer dared to leave Damo City at will.
The aristocracy is powerful, not only will the family cultivate the strong men of their own family, but also provide some foreign professionals as guests or subordinate guards of the family. Therefore, the nobles do not need to take risks themselves, they only need to leave the dangerous work to their subordinates.
After the decision was agreed in the side hall of the city lord's mansion, Locke and the other nobles did not leave immediately.
The city lord Han Yun also held a social banquet for the arriving nobles. Different from the scale of the few dozens of people in the side hall, in the banquet hall, there were also more than 100 noble ladies gathered, as well as many children of noble families, who came to make friends with other young nobles.
Ever since he learned about the consequences of indulgence, Locke had lost interest in these aristocratic ladies.
However, as a new nobleman who has just arrived in Damo City, it is also beneficial for Locke to know more about the old nobles in Damo City and the same new nobles.
Some of the older nobles with the title, respecting their own status, left the City Lord's Mansion after discussing the matter in the City Lord's Mansion, leaving behind the children of the family they brought.
Seeing that the young nobles had all ended their exchanges with other noble children one by one and turned to physical communication with some noble ladies, Locke also left the City Lord's Mansion alone with the subordinates he brought.
......
When Locke was in the City Lord's Mansion, in Damo City, in an inconspicuous manor, several black-robed people gathered.
"The plan is ahead of schedule, and the individual must do what the adults order. The black-robed man at the head and the other black-robed beings explained.
"Don't worry, one vein of magic crystals is enough to make Damo City chaotic, and we can easily collect what the adults need. ”
At this time, these black-robed people all exuded the aura of Sensen, and if Locke was like this, he would definitely be able to find that these black-robed people were necromancers like himself.
The weakest of these necromancers have the strength of fifth-level mages, and three of them are sixth-level necromancers. The strength is definitely the top existence among the sixth-level professionals.
The matter of the magic crystal vein, it was these necromancers who revealed it to the Han family in Damo City through secret channels, and then, after the Han family occupied the magic crystal vein, in a very short period of time, they leaked this news to other forces in Damo City.
The changes in the mages during this period in Damo City were the driving forces behind these necromancers.
A few black-robed people who had planned for a while soon scattered away from the original abandoned manor.
After leaving the manor, the dead aura emanating from the black-robed man's body quickly disappeared, just like Locke, even if he was seen by other professionals, he would not think that he was a necromancer.
......
Locke didn't know about the necromancers hidden in Damo City, nor did he know the plans of these necromancers.
In fact, even if Locke knew this, he didn't have much to worry about, Locke himself was an undead creature, and he didn't have the same attitude towards necromancers as other professions. It is a good thing for Locke that Da Mo City can be more chaotic. At least, City Lord Han Yun wanted to find out about himself in this chaotic situation.
