Chapter 666 [Archaeological Work]
Those lucky people who were released soon discovered that Ye Ling's words were indeed not just words, and their treatment was much better than expected.
For the next few days, instead of having to work, they moved into houses that only the former lord's men could live in.
Until then, they had to live in the mines, where they could barely shelter from the rain, and sleep in the open.
In addition, the lord also gave each of them several sets of new clothes, meat and food, medicine, quilts, and some simple daily necessities, which no one dared to hope for before, and life suddenly became comfortable.
The noble woman who had treated the whipped old and young and the noble woman came to the collective dormitory every day, and used the miraculous liliang to make the sickness that tormented many people disappear.
The contrast between the worlds made these people who had suffered a lot feel like they were in heaven, and Ye Ling's status had become extremely lofty in the hearts of the first batch of people in just a few days.
Almost all the people were praying that the lord's rule would be maintained forever, and that the lord of the realm would never change again, because the chances of a small territory like this being met with a benevolent master were very low, and if the lord was replaced again, a weak and ineffective person like them might become slaves again.
Behind the mine, a palace-like building contrasts sharply with the barren territory, and if you walk into the palace, you will find it very luxurious.
Because, this is the lord's house common to previous generations of lords.
As a lord, naturally no one will wronged him, so after the previous generations of lords occupied the territory, they all enjoyed improving the layout again on the basis of the previous one, but when it came to the eternal lord, the necromancer's aesthetics were obviously very different from others, and the palace was full of bone artworks, and Ye Ling threw away all those gloomy things before he restored them to their current appearance.
Just like his predecessor, Ye Ling also took it for himself, and now, he sat on the large animal skin chair in the hall of the lord's mansion, listening carefully.
In front of him was a man with a slightly old face, this was one of the old slaves from before, named Age, who had gone through several successions of lords, and who knew very well the situation in this ore field.
It was also the first time that Ah Ge had come to the lord's mansion, after all, it was impossible for the previous lords to let the filthy slaves into their luxurious residences.
It wasn't until after listening to Ah Ge's statement that Ye Ling asked, "Is this all you know?"
Ah Ge said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Lord!"
"Very good, hard work," Ye Ling waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”
"Yes!" Ah Ge saluted, and then retreated to the gate of the lord's mansion before walking out.
Ye Ling, on the other hand, fell into deep thought, and he had some questions about this territory.
To be honest, the conditions of this territory are really very poor, and those ore farms can indeed produce some useful ores, but they are not too valuable to sell. On top of that, the climate, water, food, and other conditions are very harsh, so there's no fun to stay here. Therefore, the lords with a little strength can't look down on this territory at all, and it is precisely because of this that Ye Ling will take a fancy to it as his foothold. Because as long as you occupy it, you don't have to worry about being harassed by the strong anymore, and even if there are people who want to replace you, they must be not very strong.
The previous lords, not even bandits, according to Ah Ge, the first lord he met, is also the first lord to open up this territory, only the realm of the sun, and his subordinates are even more dish, the number is quite pitiful, a total of less than twenty people, the later ones are a little better, but still some garbage, until the necromancer, it can be regarded as more decent.
And Ye Ling's strange place is here, although compared to himself, the necromancer and his minions are not very good as a whole, but with the two powerhouses of the Galaxy Realm, as well as dozens of Sun Realms, and more than hundreds of Moon Realm subordinates, they have been able to occupy a more Haode, more oily territory, Weishenme They want to choose this place as their target.
Moreover, when the necromancer killed the previous lord and occupied this territory, he changed the mining place and chose a location with a very low density of valuable ores, which obviously minimized the benefits, and it was impossible for a mage to be without brains, he could just find an experienced slave and ask, and he could know where to mine in the mine to get more money, but he was brainlessly insisting on digging the current site, which is unscientific.
The third reason is that the underworld longs for liliang, and the desire for money is very weak, but the underworld is running here to control slave mining, can he not do anything when he is full?
Could it be that there are some unknown secrets in this territory?
At this time, the voice of the Fox Demon Empress came from her heart: "Hehe, you don't have to think about it, I already know the purpose of that underworld here!"
Ye Ling perked up and said, "Yes, Sister Julie, you guessed it?"
"It's not that I guessed, I saw it!" After saying this strange sentence, Ye Ling found that there was one more thing in his hand, not to mention that the Fox Demon Empress had taken it out of the storage space of the Shura Glove.
Ye Ling opened his palm and found that it was an ancient scroll, looking at it that it was already quite old, and said in surprise: "Sister Julie, could it be that this is something from ancient times?"
Because of Julie's relationship, Ye Ling also has some understanding of the ancient era, and the people of that era liked to use scrolls to record things.
Julie said affirmatively: "That's right, it does come from antiquity, I found it from the necromancer's bone ring, I looked at it out of curiosity, and I didn't expect it to be very rewarding!"
Ye Ling unfolded the scroll, it was full of some dense small characters, and some strange patterns, all of which were ancient characters, Ye Ling had a little headache when he saw it: "Sister Julie, what does this scroll record?"
"A place to hide corpses!"
Julie's words startled Ye Ling: "What, where the corpse is hidden?"
Julie nodded: "That's right, and it should be a terrible guy's hiding place, a powerful corpse is especially useful for necromancers, and it is buried in the depths of this land, that Hades got this news from somewhere, so they came here and occupied a territory with little oil and water, the purpose of which is not to make money, but to dig up that corpse!"
Under this underground, there are still thousand-year-old corpses hidden, Ye Ling shook his head: "No matter what it is, let's continue to bury it, I'm not interested!"
"No, you're going to carry on that Underworld's legacy and dig it up," Julie laughed, "because I'm very interested in it!"
Ye Ling was a little dizzy: "Sister Julie, what do you want it to do, you are not a necromancer!"
Julie said, "It's true that I'm not a necromancer, but I have mastered some magical arts that are similar to necromancy, or even more powerful!"
Ye Ling immediately remembered that Julie had learned a large number of forbidden techniques in the Book of Death in the Book of the Netherworld, and when she returned to the Fox Demon Palace to get the Golden Wind and Jade Dew during her previous trip to the Hundred Demon Stars, Julie had killed the Seven Ghosts, and used the ghost Dafa in the Book of Death to make them into undead puppets, and she successfully entered the palace by herself, and those powerful undead puppets contributed a lot.
However, thinking of the scene at that time, Ye Ling still felt a little furious in his heart: "Sister Julie, don't you want it, and didn't you say that the ghost Dafa can only temporarily resurrect the corpses that have just died not long ago, stimulate their vitality, and can't exist for a long time? That ancient corpse has been dead for an unknown number of years, and the ghost Dafa may not be able to resurrect him again." ”
"No, I think it's very possible!" Julie explained, "Although necromancy can resurrect long-dead corpses, the bodies and brains of those corpses have been destroyed, and the resurrection can't be refined into haode undead puppets, if the ancient corpse dug up by the Underworld is like this, how can he spend so much scheming." This shows that the corpse must be very different. ”
Ye Ling said categorically: "Even if it's really like this, but, Sister Julie, I will never let those poor people do that kind of inhuman heavy work again, the rocks here are too hard!"
The Fox Demon Empress seemed to have expected that Ye Ling would not be cruel to those who were liberated, and she laughed and said, "Don't worry, they don't have to do heavy work anymore, because you have something that can make hard rocks fragile!"
Ye Ling took a moment, and then blurted out: "You mean the poison of eternity?"
"That's right, as long as you spend some eternal poison to make the rock deteriorate, the job will be easy, and you can find that place if you want to, even with your own liliang. ”
Seeing that Ye Ling was still hesitating, the Fox Demon Empress continued to persuade: "Dig it, listen to me, be good, there is still a lot of eternal poison, you won't need too much of it, and this won't be a waste, I have a hunch that this corpse will become a treasure, you should trust a woman's intuition, usually it will not be wrong." ”
Ye Ling sighed and said with a wry smile: "Okay, Sister Julie, then follow your words, I hope our efforts will not be in vain!"
Unexpectedly, the first thing he did after becoming the owner of this territory was to archaeological mummies, which is ridiculous!
