The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0086

After sending Basar away, Li Xun returned to the stone pagoda, unable to calm down for a long time, and simply came to the rooftop to look far away.

The arrival of this group of guests was both expected and unexpected. Those 2 soul crystals will always meet some knowledgeable people when they are scattered, but if they are too knowledgeable, it will not be beautiful. Listening to the meaning of the priest's words, Soul Crystal seems to be able to save her life. It is of course a good thing if it can bring a steady stream of transactions to herself. After all, the sea race is a hundred times larger than the land race, and this kind of soul trauma should also It's not just Antinoya's officiant alone, the more people pursue the soul crystal, the more he will get, but if someone doesn't follow the right path and wants to take the blame, how should he deal with it?

People without long-term considerations must have short-term worries. This kind of thing must be planned early, and the rules must be set up. Don't think that you are just a small middle-level mage, and everyone wants to take a bite. Speaking of the recent miscellaneous things, the ghost also reminded me when I went to the Undercity a few days ago that Zena seems to be unstable at the moment, and the family is facing a great crisis. Should I intervene in this kind of thing? Also, the damage to the Mage Tower in Eternal Night City was about to be repaired last time. If all the materials I got were collected, the construction of the Mage Tower would also be put on the agenda. Heck, I agreed to live in seclusion and practice, and I need to make up my own mind and make decisions when I see everything. I am really tired!

I really want a staff officer.

In other words, why is there no self-awakening soul who is good at planning?

Sighing heavily, Li Xun didn't care to watch the scenery in the forest, and went back to fight that nasty ghost painting talisman.

time flies.

After nightfall, Li Xun had dinner and ordered himself to meditate, and Little Jack obediently returned to the first floor.

When the surroundings returned to tranquility, Li Xun waved his hand, and a vampire flapped its wings and slipped through the narrow window, turning into a human form. Li Xun threw the traveler's cloak he often wears to it, saw it put on the cloak and sat in front of the desk, it looked pretty good from a distance, then turned around and flew out of the stone tower in peace.

With two bright full moons, a group of black shadows quickly cut through the night sky and swept across the forest.

The Skeleton King had already been waiting at the gate of the Hall of Bones, and when he saw Li Xun coming, he quickly bowed to salute. Li Xun nodded, and accompanied by him, went straight to the mage tower.

Compared with the previous two days, the mage tower has returned to normal. The cracks all over the tower body have been healed again, and the damage inside has been repaired. Today is a great opportunity to build a mana pool.

After stacking zircon, lapis lazuli, lapis lazuli, white crystal, blue crystal, amethyst, red crystal, black crystal...in the mage tower, Li Xun used his spiritual power to communicate with the central core of the mage tower, one by one cold The Ice Banshee held all kinds of materials and gemstones and placed them in a specific location on the basement floor. The endless dead energy from the sea of ​​bones poured into the Mage Tower frantically, and the tower began to vibrate violently again.

Today, Li Xun finally understands why building a tower requires the complete soul of a high-level mage. Only by using the soul of a high-level mage as the control core of the mage tower can he have enough knowledge to complete his own construction and evolution. Like the construction of the mana pool this time, Li Xun does not need to do anything, just prepare the materials, and the control core of the mage tower will automatically extract the stored knowledge to direct the servants in the tower to complete various constructions. The power energy required It all depends on the sea of ​​bones.

It's a pity that Guhai has just suffered a major injury, and now it is obvious that the energy cannot keep up, resulting in an abnormally slow construction speed of the mana pool. Li Xun inquired about the control core of the mage tower, and it takes 108 hours for the mana pool to be completed. Li Xun was not too bored, floating in the air on the ground floor, quietly watching the formation of the mana pool.

More than 20 Ice Banshees were busy in a group. Some were lying on the floor and stone walls and carefully etched the lines of the magic pattern; some controlled the dead energy to continuously wash the lapis lazuli, smelting it into a flowing liquid, and then pouring it into the engraved magic pattern to act as a flow of mana. Some use a mixture of zircon and lapis lazuli with high-quality endless white bones to build the shape of the mana pool. The most eye-catching thing is the mage tower appointed by Li Xun to guard the Bone Mage, who will continue to guide the accumulation of dead energy in the place where the mana pool will be formed in the future. In the future, after the mana pool is built, it will be connected to the sea of ​​bones, and it will have an endless source of energy. It's just that this source is too single. If possible, it is still necessary to build some element conversion pools to enhance the diversification of spells in the mage tower.

The many subordinates are busy with their own tasks, and they don't need to eat, drink, or rest. As long as the supply of bone sea dead energy is maintained, the construction will continue. Li Xun nodded in satisfaction, turned around and exited the mage tower.

Two days ago, the butcher had taken a small team to the depths of the Whispering Forest for training. The current troop reserve of Evernight City is:

Bone Skeleton 4843

Skeleton Warrior 2511

Licker 500

Hate 60

238 ghost ghosts

30 Ice Banshees

Ghost Killer 20

20 vampires

As for the reserve of 349 soul crystals, it will never be enough! The dark city's military strength has just begun to take shape, and it cannot be easily mobilized. Eternal Night City can only live on a budget. Now the mage tower is under construction, and every day the dead energy of the bone sea is completely extracted, and the production of soul crystals and arms is also suspended. I still need to draw nearly 200 soul crystals in a short period of time.

Cough, it's hard to be in charge!

In the near future, I will travel far away, and I will also take part of my troops. During this period, I will rely on the Skeleton King to guard it independently. Li Xun couldn't help feeling worried, and he dragged the Skeleton King and the two of them to mutter for a long time before they negotiated a proper defense. Li Xun also took the opportunity to adjust the composition of troops in his soul space: 40 lickers + 5 abominations + 20 ghosts + 5 ice banshees + 5 ghost killers + 5 vampires.

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than 9 months since I came to this world. In the past six months, Li Xun has fully integrated into life in the new world. Facing this bizarre world, he is fascinated and devoted, neither willing to let this world assimilate his specialness, nor willing to be rejected by the world in order to remain special. All the way crooked, although not smooth but also peace of mind.

I am still me!

Back at the stone tower, Li Xun calculated that it would take 12 days to get to Ancona Port from here, and he still had plenty of time, so he was not in a hurry to leave.

After five days of leisure, a new guest came again.

The arrival of old acquaintance Casas surprised Li Xun. Leading Casas to sit down in the reception room, there was constant sound of knives, hacks and chisels from various projects outside, and a silence enchantment was cast to have a good conversation.

Li Xun spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "You have also seen the situation here. The construction around the stone tower is going on, and I have no peace these days. Fortunately, it will be completed within 3 days, otherwise I will go to Naya City for a while. Avoid it."

Casas rolled his eyes, and said contemptuously, "Are you complaining or demonstrating? You don't have to be encumbered by your family, you can do whatever you want, and even build towers. Cough, that's like me. It took me 40 days to get the territory It's over."

"Where is your territory defined? How is the situation?" Li Xun asked curiously.

"How else can you live next door to your Sir Hanwick, and the two territories are very close. I said, why did you exchange territories with that nobleman? Otherwise, we are closer, and communication is much more convenient. "

"It's too disturbing there. Personally, I think it's good for mages to keep a little distance from ordinary people. You chose the territory there because you plan to develop it into a business territory? Then can you continue to study spells quietly?"

"Maybe you're right, but the family has sacrificed a lot in my previous studies, I can't give them feedback at all! I plan to spend 3 years taking care of that territory, and then let it go. Go back to the Masters Association to do my research."

3 years is not too long or short. Casas is 47 years old this year, and he is already an 8th-level mage. In terms of his talent, it is already a blessing to be able to enter the ranks of high-level mages before the age of 80. According to the laws found in Klein Continent, the limit lifespan of ordinary people is 120 years old. Due to the perennial magic experiments of mages, the erosion of magic elements on the body has caused the weakness of the system. Very few people can live to 100 years old normally.

Only 14th-level mages can withstand the backlash of body modification and find ways to increase their lifespan. In other words, any talented human mage must strive to be promoted to level 14 before the age of 100, so that he can use spells to extend his life. So there is no room for slack in the urgency of time. At this juncture, spending 3 years to take care of the territory is a stupid thing, but it has to be done. Maybe this is life!

Li Xun was silent for a moment, but he didn't want to make Casas sad, so he changed the subject and said, "Did you see Siris when you came here? Did you come to see me suddenly for that promise?"

Casas said with a chuckle: "Of course, I have spent a lot of effort to get enough this time, and I hope to build my own staff as soon as possible! I also brought the share of Siris , she seems to have something to do, and she won't be able to leave Pierpont in the short term."

Li Xun smiled, and casually took out the 1 kg of mithril that he had prepared earlier, and gently pushed it over the table. The sunlight outside the window fell on the mithril block, and the silver-white metal block bloomed with charming glare.

Casas held his breath to appreciate it for a while, and then handed over all the original materials to Li Xun.

During the chat later, Li Xun was so shocked by the first information that Casas revealed that he ignored the second information that Casas specifically emphasized.

Two months ago, all temples and altars in the entire Klein continent received a mysterious prophecy. When Casas briefly described the content of the prophecy in a hilarious tone, Li Xun lost his composure. No way, is that prophecy instructing myself? I was still fighting thieves in Thrane Kingdom 2 months ago, and I didn't do anything special! Wait... Li Xun looked inside his soul, looking at his identity on the attribute panel: the master of the cemetery, and was speechless for a long time. His original identity was the owner of the city, but since the construction of the Undercity, he has become the owner of the cemetery. Does this herald the birth of this new species?

The introverted Li Xun was submissive, and he didn't notice that Casas described Siris's eager pursuit of Prince Antria after she arrived in Pierpont in a very heavy tone. Li Xun's absent-mindedness was seen by Casas, but he regarded it as some kind of emotional loss and frustration, and he said a few words of comfort before getting up to leave. This almost blatant hint was directly ignored by Li Xun, and it was not until Casas left that Li Xun, who was in a daze, broke free from a kind of panic.

Watching Casas's carriage drift away, Li Xun's mind was full of how to deal with this prophecy, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he lay down on the bed early without even eating dinner.
