Vegetable Skeleton's Exotic Land Reclamation
Chapter 472: Yes, You Can't Burn Fields
A crow landed on the wall of the castle, looked around with its black eyes, and saw a few fishing rods and flower pots on the arrow stack.
A lich swordsman in soul armor sat there concentrating on fishing, pulling the rod from time to time.
Empty, so angry that 'he' was cursing, this should be the mayor Locke that the townspeople said.
This is a quiet and peaceful remote town. Listening to the conversations of the townspeople, this place has been under the rule of Mayor Locke a long time ago. The townspeople live and work in peace, the public security is stable and the economy is prosperous.
Some time ago, Mayor Locke also found someone to build a central-level teleportation array to strengthen the connection with Beifeng City. This move was unanimously considered a prodigal.
How can a central teleportation array be needed in a remote town? Look, it's deserted right now, and the utilization rate is not high. Instead of spending a few magic crystals to activate the teleportation array, the townspeople might as well walk to North Wind City.
But the prodigal, the prodigal lich is the real lich. Only those life races with limited lifespans who need to eat and drink will live their lives carefully.
Lich, if you lose, you lose. Anyway, you can't starve to death. Building something that is useless is more in line with Mayor Locke's personality.
From the corner of the crow's corner of the eye, the crow noticed something moving, and when he turned his head, a pink and cute little girl was groping towards it from the edge of the wall with her hands and feet stretched forward, as if she was about to pounce.
Seeing the crow turn its head, the little girl knew that she had been spotted, and immediately barked her teeth and claws and roared, "Ow!" Obviously to scare the crow.
The crow sighed helplessly in his heart, and showed a frightened attitude very cooperatively, and flew up. The crow must also conform to the "bird" design. Is a crow that can't be scared away still a bird?
An undead creature wearing a coir raincoat-like soul armor came out and shouted at the little girl, "Aww!"
The little girl yelled and ran back.
Another undead creature wearing soul armor dragged an undead war horse out, and said while dragging: "You dead horse, let me ride, let me ride."
Another undead creature wearing soul armor, with a shovel in one hand, was digging the soil in the flowerbed in the corner.
An alchemist wearing a magician's high collar, high hat, cloak and gloves, and a mask came back with a bunch of alchemy prosthetics. After spotting a crow in the air, he stopped suddenly and looked at the crow thoughtfully.
The crow only felt a wave of thoughts sweeping over his body.
was discovered? The crow was not in a hurry, it flew up slowly, flew up, turned around and flew in another direction, the alchemist kept watching it during the whole process.
It's normal to be discovered, and it's strange not to be discovered, which means that the undead creatures in this town are too weak.
Although it is hostile to the warlock alliance, the undead empire has nothing against warlocks, because undead creatures can also learn various warlock spells, and because of their lifespan, their foundations are often stronger than humans.
However, warlocks are more creative, and they have not been the mainstream among undead creatures. Now this warlock is quite powerful.
From the mayor to the residents, even the warlocks are undead creatures. This town is absolutely impossible to be a hiding place for the lackeys of the light.
After reaching this conclusion, a large group of crows flew up from all over the town one after another, and flew silently to the next village.
Seeing the crows leaving, a little yellow book flew up from Ange, and opened its pages.
On the pages of the book, a huge brass dragon paw patted the head of a corpse dragon that was several times smaller: "Did you see it? Did you see it? We tricked the Banshee into it too. Did you see it?"
The body of Negris is more than 50 meters long, and the body of the dracolich is only 18 meters. The gap is as big as that of a monitor lizard and a chameleon. The dracolich is shrunk into a ball by it: "I know, I know, you are really amazing!" , who are you guys?"
Negris curled his lips: "You may not believe it, we are the people of the Immortal God."
"Believe me, believe me, you are the people of the Immortal God, and you are the pope of the Church of Light. You are amazing. Light and darkness are one, like a novel about knights. You really know how to blow it." The dracolich said sarcastically.
It can only be said that the character of this dracolich is not very tactful. Under such circumstances, he dared to be eccentric, and was stepped on by Negris. In the Book of Brass, Negris is the master.
After it was 'subdued', Negris asked: "What is the identity of this ermeng banshee? Why did you send it here? Does it have any special abilities?"
"It can make people have nightmares, and then steal information from the dream. Just now it was just observing you, but in fact, the collection of information has already been completed in the dreams of ordinary people. It may have left without finding anything. said the dracolich.
Anthony frowned: "Aiguli! No, if the Ermeng Banshee is so powerful, why do some villages full of light believers exist? Let the banshee go around and dig out all those villages."
The dracolich pouted: "What you said is just like the kind of 'you can buy a manor after five hundred years of hard work'. It's all bullshit. Do you know how many villages there are in the entire plane? Even if you check one a month, check all of them. It will take thousands of years to finish, you want to exhaust the banshee to death?"
Anthony frowned: "Why do you have to check one item a month and one item a day? It took more than 30 years to check it out."
"...You human beings are terrible. Working one or two days a month is cruel. You actually want people to work every day, and you have to work for more than 30 years?" The dragon lich couldn't help scolding.
The number of doom banshees is too small, there are only a few, and it is not easy to steal information in dreams. If you want to investigate on a large scale, it is impossible to investigate the villages of the entire plane without dozens or hundreds of years. Take the life of the Evil Dream Banshee.
If the investigation takes too long, for example, after three to five hundred years, the population will not know how many generations have been updated, which is meaningless at all.
Besides villages, what about cities? How to investigate a city with a population of tens of thousands?
When the time comes to force believers of light to mix into the city, it is better to let them live in a settlement as a whole, as long as no major incidents occur.
Anthony nodded in agreement: "That's right, because there are few villages and towns in the desert, it only takes a few days to scan it. Lord Naig, please beat it up."
The dracolich was shocked: "What? You want to beat me too?"
Anthony nodded: "Attitude problem, beat me up."
After being beaten severely, Anthony said: "You can find someone to protect you, so that you don't have to be beaten at any time."
Anthony has almost finished asking all the questions he wants to know, and he can kill him or establish a soul connection.
Ange has no interest in adding new soul connections, and the dracolich can only choose to dedicate souls to the little zombies.
"Ah——————" Stuffing the soul that established the soul connection back into the body, the dracolich Gadrigo lay there and sighed.
For a dignified dracolich to be reduced to offering his soul to an unknown person, it is too shameful. Its last master was at least the speaker of the Undead Council, one of the five or six figures in the Undead Empire.
But it miscalculated, and something even more out of place came. The little zombie dragged a large wooden frame over and put it on Gadrigo's body.
"What do you want to do?" Gadrigo suddenly had an ominous premonition.
The little zombie set up the wooden frame, then pointed to the plow next to it: "Oh!"
A lich dragon that is nearly twenty meters long is not used to plow the land, what a waste.
Ange has fully activated its body, and there is no trace of the previous dracolich on the outside. Even if someone sees it now, it will not be connected with the corpse that Ange snatched.
So around Shenyun Town and the dam irrigation area, from time to time, you can see a 20-meter-long giant dragon dragging a row of plow birches, sighing and crawling past.
Because of its size, it can pull twelve plows at a time, work 24 hours a day, 30 days a month, all year round, successfully living a "cruel" life.
Now it doesn't say that human beings are cruel, the little zombies are even crueler than human beings.
The only advantage is that the little zombie will share soul energy with it through soul connection, so that it can devote itself to work energetically. After a period of time, its soul has solidified a lot.
...
A month passed, and the last crow left Northwind City, and the Omen Banshee found nothing.
After the investigation of Shenyun Town, the Ermeng Banshee checked all the places in the entire desert, and even Albert in the stone chamber cemetery had seen crows.
However, the lonely Abbott failed to attract the crow's attention and did not stay there. What he was looking for was the stronghold of the Church of Light, not a homeless man in the desert.
In the end, all the crows gathered in Beifeng City. In the next period of time, the chances of people in Beifeng City having nightmares increased greatly.
It's a pity that the Ermeng Banshee could not find any news about the stronghold of the Church of Light, nor did she find any suspicious traces. In the end, she could only infer that the two seraphs and the Pope were just passing by.
After the last crow left, Feiwo and Yinbi's tensed hearts relaxed.
...
In the underground of Shenyun Town, Ange, who had taken the opportunity to reclaim all the land in Shenyun Town and the dam irrigation area, was about to extend into the desert, but was called back for a meeting, listening to silver coins and Feiwo's report on work boringly.
"The warlock ladder in Beifeng City has now risen to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and it hovers there. The dracolich harassed them from time to time, but they couldn't do anything about it. The current situation is that the two sides have fallen into a strategic stalemate. The focus has turned to the people."
"The warlock ladder goes down during the day to distribute food and exchange supplies, and goes up at night to guard against sneak attacks."
"The Undead Council also dispatched a large number of undead creatures to suppress bandits in various traffic arteries and disaster areas to maintain order and steal the work of the former Warlock Alliance." Silver Coin reported.
The advent of the Warlock Alliance objectively saved the order of the surface world. In the era of the small peasant economy, as long as the order is maintained, it will not cause large-scale disasters.
To maintain order, there needs to be food, no disease, and no wars.
There was still food, but because of the collapse of order and local food shortages, the places where there was food panicked and hoarded and refused to sell it, which led to many tragedies.
The arrival of the Warlock Alliance has stabilized food prices and maintained order.
Their arrival also speeded up the slow and cumbersome undead empire.
If there is no threat from the Warlock Alliance, those high-ranking undead creatures who find it cruel to work only one day a month may not react until all living creatures die.
"In a sense, the two sides have reached a balanced cooperative relationship, maintaining the order of the surface world together, while competing for the support of the noble landlords."
"Both the Warlock Alliance and the Undead Council have sent people to us, and are willing to provide all conveniences and assist us in resuming production, as long as the materials produced are sold to them." Feiwo said.
Competing for the hearts of the people requires resources. If you can't even get food and everyone can't eat enough, who will obey your rule? Therefore, the big landowners who can produce grain are the first targets for both sides to compete for.
Originally, Beifeng City had no advantage in this aspect. The grain it produced was not a fraction of that of the main grain-producing areas in the south, and the grain it ate had to be shipped from outside.
However, both sides have noticed the existence of the dam irrigation area, and the irrigation area can be directly seen from the position of the warlock ladder, but it was abandoned some time ago.
So someone approached him, hoping that Feiwo could arrange manpower to resume planting in the irrigation area, and sell the grain produced to them.
Feiwo couldn't make the decision, so he said that he had to think about it. Just after discussing with the silver coins, the second group of people came up and proposed more favorable conditions. They also asked for the grain produced to be sold to them.
The silver coin rolled his eyes, and Feiwo immediately expressed that he would consider it, and sent the second group of people away with great fanfare.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the second group of people left, the first group of people came back, put forward more generous terms, and said that they could pay in advance.
Before Feiwo could agree, the second group of people also came back, and the two sides almost stopped fighting at the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Negris said dumbfounded: "So, you just use a 'consideration' to ask them to raise the price of grain to ten magic crystals per ton? You also need to pay a deposit of 20,000 magic crystals in advance, and promise to underwrite all the grain , and provide all conveniences to assist you in resuming production?"
Silver coin nodded, and said: "I will confiscate the deposit, and I have not agreed to other conditions. I just say that I can't make the decision. I will bid when the harvest is harvested. The highest price will win."
"Why didn't you charge a deposit?" Negris asked puzzled.
"It can't be accepted. What they need is not food. What they need is a monopoly supply. Even if they burn the food, they won't let the other party get it. So the deposit can only be collected from one family, but if one family accepts it, the other family will definitely try to find a way. Burn the crops," Silver Coin said.
Ange, who was bored and was fiddling with the magic circle with both hands, suddenly raised his head and stared at the silver coins.
The silver coin quickly waved his hand: "I didn't burn it, they burned it."
Anthony added: "This is a battle for the dominance of the plane. It is very cruel. If anyone receives the deposit, his family will definitely not be able to receive food next year. If many people receive the deposit, next year's grain production will definitely be reduced on a large scale. Then it will be troublesome.”
"This is too cruel, won't His Majesty stop them?" Negris said.
"Your Majesty is trapped in the barrier of oblivion. It should be the upper echelons of the Undead Council who are in charge now," Anthony said.
"So what?" Negris asked.
Silver coins said: "It's very simple. As long as everyone refuses to accept the deposit and insists on buying after harvest, the highest price will win. At least when the grain is in the field, it will be safe."
"Why did everyone refuse to accept the deposit? Many people can't think so far. I just wondered why you didn't accept the deposit." Negris said depressingly.
Yin Coin said: "There is only one channel through which everyone can receive our warning, and that is the Home of the Dead. We can analyze the situation to everyone by offering rewards, which will definitely make most people alert."
"However, the authority of the House of the Dead is in the hands of the Undead Council. I am afraid that it will be deleted. If we use the highest power mark, the fact that others have higher power will be exposed. So I would like to ask my lord, can I use the highest power mark?" Seal of power?"
Of course, this kind of thing needs Ange to decide.
"Yes, but don't burn the fields."
