Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

"Are you usually afraid of bugs?"

Ambich Kenny swallowed hard and replied dryly, "No...I'm not afraid!"

The premise is that the worm cannot be bigger than a human... Kenny vaguely heard some strange movements coming from inside through the semi-open cast iron gate, as if a large number of glass marbles rolled rapidly on the hard stone floor, and the more he could do it. As we get closer, the noise is getting more and more intense!

Is this...is some kind of living creature crawling? Is it what Your Majesty calls a "worm"?

Seeing that Harvey had already stepped in, Kenny, who was following behind, could only grit his teeth and close his eyes, and rushed in with a tough bullet.

The sound of sounds I heard through the iron gate disappeared immediately. The shepherd and knight opened his eyes and looked around and found that this was a spacious underground cave space. The four walls and floors were obviously polished manually, but many stalactites hanging from the top were still Exposes its natural nature.

With the illuminated magic stones inlaid on the stone wall, Kenny saw several smaller alchemy vehicles parked in the cave hall. Compared with the common closed war beast vehicles, these small vehicles are obviously directly open. The number of people you ride... and the number of people you carry is like the seats you set up, and can only be used by up to four people.

"Okay, go sit in!" Harvey raised his foot and stepped into the car, occupying a seat in the back row. Kenny also climbed in carefully, sitting next to Harvey with a soft feeling under his butt. Touch…The vehicle seat is actually made of leather.

The two guards walked up silently and sat in front of Harvey and Kenny. There was a hollow metal disc in front of one of them, which looked like a reduced version of a mechanical winch.

The vehicle was quickly activated, and the slightly trembling body carried the four people slowly towards the depths of the cave, and finally entered a long and deep tunnel.

"Your Majesty, where are we going? Are we going to the depths of the ground?" Kenny's voice trembled, "Where is the bug you just mentioned...?"

Harvey chuckled, "Go to the South Slope Base, the bugs are shy, and when you hear the footsteps of you, you all hide."

The underground of His Majesty's castle can directly connect to the Nanslou base!

Kenny felt his heart pounding. No wonder His Majesty wanted him to keep it absolutely confidential just now. If someone other than his confidant found out about this kind of underground secret passage, it is likely that he would have to be silenced.

The alchemy vehicle walked in the dark tunnel with two magic stone lamps for more than an hour, and then arrived at a flatter and open underground hall. Many soldiers in dark gray uniforms were busy shuttled through it. When the few people saw Harvey's car arrive, they turned around and bowed to him.

The base manager Pep still looked dirty and trotted to Harvey in a metal helmet, then turned his head to look at Kenny a few times.

"Sir, is this what you mentioned...a breeding expert?"

"Well, this mission requires you two to cooperate to complete. How are the beetles doing during this period? How long will the next breeding cycle be?"

Pep smiled and said, "The feeding frequency and activity trajectory of the insects are normal, which means that they were a little uneasy just now, so I guess you must be here."

Harvey nodded, suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Then countless erratic sounds suddenly sounded throughout the underground hall. A large number of beetles with slightly pure white fluorescent suddenly surged out of the cracks in the surrounding stone walls, as if they were no longer afraid. At this moment, the people who were staying in the hall rushed towards the position where Harvey was standing at an extremely fast speed.

God! So many bugs!

Kenny was so scared that he staggered and fell to the ground, and almost screamed!

Fortunately, these luminous insects as big as fists did not rush straight to him and drown him directly... Instead, they surrounded several people as the center of the circle along the position where Harvey stood, and the beetle's hard arthropods kept knocking and sliding. The sound on the ground was exactly what Kenny heard through the iron gate when he was just underground in the castle!

These bugs have been following them since the bottom of the castle!

"Don't be afraid, they won't attack humans at will, and sometimes they will even take the initiative to avoid them." Harvey explained to Kenny in a gentle voice, "When you get used to it, you will know that these little guys are actually gentle."

How did Your Majesty see that a group of insects have a gentle temperament... Besides, there are too many of them!

Kenny took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down and get up from the ground.

"Your Majesty, is the task you want to assign to me to raise these luminous insects?"

Harvey nodded, "No, let's talk while walking, let's go to the feeding ground first..."

"This beetle is called the energy-absorbing beetle. Its companion product is an important strategic resource. The main material used to make ammunition in the magic guns and magic cannons you know is from this. "Havee paused, suddenly turned his head and looked at Kenny meaningfully, "If military secrets of this level are leaked, you should know the consequences."

Kenny was in a state of trembling spirit, and quickly clenched his fists and beat his chest and said, "I will definitely keep the secret and will never reveal it at will!"

Being able to disclose such an important military secret to him will at least indirectly show that His Majesty regards him as a close minister. If he can do things well, he will definitely have a bright future.

Nympho

The group soon came to a feeding ground deeper underground. Kenny instantly saw more glowing beetles than in the hall. When they gathered together, he even had a terrifying illusion that the entire huge mountain cave was glowing.

"I want to raise... raise so many insects?"

No mistakes!

"This is just one of the feeding grounds. The average number of beetles is about 100,000. They enter a breeding cycle every forty days. After the breeding cycle ends, the female insects will directly integrate into the magic stone crystal column to lay eggs, while the male insects will gradually die... and finally transform into a pure magic stone of the same size. This is the only raw material for making liquid magic energy..."

As Harvey was talking, he suddenly changed the topic and asked Kenny: "I heard that you tried to cross the ordinary domestic pigs transported from the southern border with a wild beast called the long-fanged bristle beast in the wasteland, and successfully bred a larger and more tender meat. , a new breed of domestic pigs with a shorter breeding cycle? "

This is the work result that Kenny has always been proud of. He couldn't help but straighten his chest and said proudly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I found through observation that the long-tusked bristle beast and the southern domestic pigs are very similar in living habits, feeding preferences and body structure, so I tried to let the hunting team capture live ones for breeding experiments..."

Harvey nodded and tapped the ground with his toes. The nearest beetle immediately sensed the command transmitted by Harvey, quickly slid its legs and feet to climb up along his instep, and finally docilely stayed on Harvey's palm.

"The bugs are very docile and not aggressive at all... Their favorite food is the magic stones in this mine. Their activity range is not very large. There is a nesting area between the feeding ground and the breeding ground. They will dig out small cracks in the mountain and hide in them." He patted Kenny's shoulder and said, "Just like you hybridized wild boars, observe and study these beetles, and compare them with the biological habits recorded by Pep before, to see if there is any way to make them grow faster, enter the breeding cycle more frequently, and double the output of pure magic stones."
