Chapter 175 Developing Territory
Two million gold coins were given out.
Helot asked Frank: "Can you teach me the soul division technique?"
Frank sealed the space pocket: "What are you doing to learn the soul division technique? If you divide it, Failure is very harmful to the soul, and expensive alchemical potions are needed to repair the soul."
"Can you make this kind of alchemical potion?"
"Of course! When I learn the soul division technique, I first learn to make the soul repair potion."
Helot felt that he was worried in vain: "Master Laem said that I need to control the spirit body to deal with this machine." I can't delay other things because of testing the spiritual machine, so the master suggested that I learn the soul splitting technique from you. If I can create so many clones like you, I can do many things at the same time! "
Hearing that Herot was about to do such a dangerous thing, Frank immediately warned: "I dare to split so many clones because of my talent. You must not try to split too much when you are a beginner. If you have too many souls, the soul repair potion will not be able to repair the damage of the soul.
You first sort out Master Laem’s manuscript, and I will write out the steps of the soul division technique, and then practice.”
"Okay!" Helot sat down in his old seat, and when he took out the "Old Code", he had a hand full of sticky paste. Herot quickly called Frank back: "I almost forgot about this, come and see what's wrong with my magic book!"
Frank, who was still looking for paper and pen, saw the appearance of the "Old Code" and instantly floated closer: "What happened?"
Helot told him about the existence of the Sewing Man and them. The matter of plundering the energy of death from living beings.
After listening, Frank said: "Plunder death energy from life! In those planes of life, there are indeed many such heretical necromancers. The plundering of death energy makes it easier to increase strength, but it goes against the direction of life. The rules of death have become stains on the mirror of life and death.
Just like these things!” Then drill into the pages of the magic book little by little.
Helot waved his hand and opened the "Old Code", and you could see these stains seeping into the words and symbols inside.
"You see, the "Old Code" seems to be swallowing these impure death energies."
Frank stood up and observed, and after a while he said: "I don't know either What happened? Although I made the magic book, I can't explain what the magic book is. Its power comes from the wisdom of the compiler, and this wisdom does not only include your knowledge, but also what you yourself cannot detect. Partly.
Such as experience, such as talent, such as bloodline... too many factors together constitute wisdom."
Helot heard Frank's hint: "You mean... Is the current state of the "Old Code" related to my bloodline?"
Frank spread his hands: "This is just my guess. There are too many unexplainable things in the Old Cemetery. Maybe because of you, the "Old Code" was also affected by the Old Cemetery.
There is one One thing, I want to tell you, the name "Old Code" seems to be randomly chosen by you, but it is not actually the name."
Helot was puzzled: "I did come up with it randomly at the time. This name."
Frank smiled: "Under the light of the wise starry sky, the name you come up with is its only name."
Helot understood: "It is. The "Old Code" can only be the "Old Code"! ”
"Yes! I think we should leave it alone. Don't waste energy on in-depth exploration of things that cannot be understood. When we have enough wisdom, we may understand it in an instant."
"What you said Yes!" Helot stopped worrying, closed the "Old Code" with a wave of his hand, and placed Master Laem's manuscript on the table: "Bring me the paper and pen"
"Get it right away. Come.”
Helot picked up Master Laem’s manuscript and began to read.
The content suddenly became much more profound and it was no longer easy to understand.
Helot's theoretical foundation in magic is very good, especially his knowledge in the subdivisions of magic, which Master Laem admires. At the same time, Helot's academic talent is very high, and he is a top student at the Imperial Academy.
So after Master Laem quickly wrote the basic materials, he began to write advanced magic knowledge.
Reference materials include "Necromology", "Lecture Notes of Master Bet", "Rotten Corpse", "Common Characteristics of Soul Fire and Soul", "300 Questions and Answers on Necromancy"...
Feel the learning It was so difficult that Helot had to ask Frank for these reference books.
Fortunately, this is a library, and you can find common books on undead magic.
So Herot studied on his own while sorting out Master Laem's manuscripts... During this period, he returned to his own world, found Angelica to help arrange a "secondment", and then stayed in the game world with peace of mind. .
In addition to studying and organizing manuscripts, he also found time to run his own territory.
The 800,000 undead who surrendered from the Broken Woodland spread out in the wilderness between the Old Land and the Broken Woodland, forming a sea of skeletons and zombies, white and gray like a mosaic. generally. Helot summoned the undead heroes who commanded this undead army in the first-level stone castle in the territory, and read to them the "Counter-Rebellion Order" issued by the Lord of Dorothea.
Rebellions were launched in seven territories in the Rock Wilderness, the Crooked River, the Southeast Badlands, the Misty Hills, the Black Gravel Sands, the Northern Plains, and the Screaming Mountains. The leader of the rebels was Ultado, the lord of the Rock Wilderness. .
The Lord of Dorotea led the Scorched Earth City, Mud and Stone Basin, Broken Woodland, Old Land, Riverbank Stone Bay, Hexagonal Hills, and Lower Wind Mountain Gorge to form the undead army of Scorched Earth City to attack the rebels within the territory.
The undead in the Broken Woodland and the undead in the Land of the Old merged into the Legion of the Old. The commander of the legion was appointed Howl Burning Bones, who was responsible for the defense of the Broken Woodland and the Land of the Old.
On the west side of the Broken Woodland is the Spiral High Ridge, a neutral territory.
Further west is the Crooked River, rebel territory.
On the east side of the Broken Woodland is the black gravel sandy land, which is the territory of the rebels.
The winding river and black gravel sandy land will definitely open up the spiral high ridge and broken woodland. The Spiral Mountains are neutral, and they will probably provide a way for the rebels in the Crooked River, so the Broken Woodland will most likely face a pincer attack from the east and west.
Fortunately, except for the Rotten Wood Fortress that was destroyed, the scattered forest camps in the Broken Woodland were all intact.
So after Howl was appointed, he immediately led the undead in the Broken Woodland back to set up defenses.
The function of the Old Land is to continuously transport low-level undead to the Broken Woodland for consumption.
Now there are stones from the mud basin, wood from the broken forest land, and sufficient skeleton labor in the old land. It is a good time to build infrastructure.
Helot found all the super-concentrated death energy overflow areas on the territory map, built undead wells around these areas, and then built first-level tombs with skeletons around the undead wells.
Upgrade the Spell Carving House used by the Skeleton Mage...build more.
The lumberyard, quarry and blacksmith shop used to upgrade the territory... are all built.
After all these pre-buildings are built, the territory prompts [You can build a second-level territory stone castle. After the construction is completed, the territory is upgraded to level two. 】
Level 2 Stone Castle of the Dead (100 units of stone consumption, 100 units of wood consumption, 1000 skeleton laborers required, construction time 50 hours. Increasing the number of skeleton laborers can reduce the construction time, minimum 9 hours)
Helot distributed the stone, wood and skeleton laborers and went to continue sorting out Master Laem's manuscripts.
Nine hours later, the second-level Stone Castle of the Dead was completed.
The first-level Stone Castle of the Dead only has a Hall of the Dead, while the second-level Stone Castle has an additional building and a tower, and the walls are thickened to provide a certain degree of defense.
At the same time, after the completion of the second-level Stone Castle of the Dead, some buildable buildings were unlocked.
The first-level tomb is upgraded to the second-level tomb (the soul fire reserve is increased to 15, and the excess soul fire is transferred to the ground and converted into skeletons. Soul fire merger: two first-level soul fires can be merged to form a second-level tomb) Level Soul Fire. Upgrading requires: 10 units of stone, 10 units of wood, and 7 hours of construction time. Increasing the number of skeleton laborers can reduce the construction time, to a minimum of 2 hours)
Corpse workshop (to create walking corpses, you need level 2 soul fire 1. Construction requires: 5 units of stone, 5 units of wood, 20 skeleton laborers, and a construction time of 5 hours. Increasing the number of skeleton laborers can reduce the construction time, to a minimum of 1 hour . )
Poison Spore Cave (to make poisonous spores, necessary materials for walking zombies to upgrade poisonous zombies.)
Poison Corpse Factory (to make poisonous zombies, walking corpses and poisonous spores are needed)
Blacksmith shop expansion building: Iron stone smelting plant (smelting pig iron, which can be used to make simple armor and iron swords.)
Skeleton warrior training ground (training skeleton warriors requires skeletons, armor, and iron swords) )
Mummy's Shroud (To train a mummy, you need a walking corpse and a shroud. The shroud technology is unlocked, and the manufacturing raw materials are: bark, emerald magic stone, adamantine ore, floor drain mercury, fantasy colored salt)
...
The mummy’s shroud can be built!
Helot looks at the materials needed for construction: 100 units of stone, 100 units of wood, 5 units of emerald magic stone, 5 units of adamantine ore, 5 units of floor drain mercury, and 5 fantasy colored salts unit, requiring 1,000 skeleton laborers and 100 hours of construction time. Increasing the number of skeleton workers can reduce the construction time, to a minimum of 12 hours.
So much stone and wood are needed!
And there are so many rare materials used!
But thinking that after using these materials, he could obtain a powerful mummy, Helot simply allocated the building materials and assigned a group of skeleton workers to start the construction.
Upgrade the second level tomb at the same time and build a corpse workshop, a poison spore cave, a poison factory, an iron and stone smelting plant, and a skeleton warrior training ground.
Then return to Frank's library to continue studying.
The "Old Codex" was placed on the table. The sticky paste flowed into the pages very slowly, but it still decreased significantly over time.
In addition to sorting out Master Laem's manuscripts, Herot also learned the soul-slicing technique from Frank.
