While Sylutia was fighting two Knight, Lucas on the other side struggled to resist the "Blood Law" warrior named Aru.
The opponent's huge ax that wields great power is simply the nemesis of the bone creatures. No matter what kind of bones Lucas summons and uses, they will be easily split and chopped into pieces by the opponent. Under the pressure of the opponent's constant approach, he does not have much room to cast complex and powerful spells.
Once again, the white bone creature in front of Lucas was chopped into pieces. He also made up his mind to take out the Dragon Bone "crumbs" he had just obtained.
He spilled these Dragon Bone fragments, and then raised the pale skull in his hand. As if he was trying his best, the skull spit out mist as dense as snow-white star sand.
Then Lucas recited a strengthening spell in his mouth, his eyes were filled with light, and the symbol mark of "Dead Ember" appeared.
In a few breaths, the star sand mist not far away seemed to be alive, swallowing up the Dragon Bone fragments below, as well as the bones and bones on the ground.
Soon, a brand new Bone Monster appeared. It looked like a humanoid, but its hands had Sharpness bone claws. Its head also had Sharpness teeth and vaguely visible bi-horned bones, and its joints were covered with sharp bone spurs.
[White Bone Graveyard School·Dragon Tooth Soldier]
This is a ritual secret that requires Dragon Bone materials to be used, and the Dragon Tooth Soldier produced is not restricted by its own level, and is only related to the completion of the ritual.
If Lucas is fully prepared, he can probably use the Dragon Bone materials in his hand to make a Dragon Tooth Soldier that is close to the fourth level. But unfortunately, the Dragon Tooth Soldier that has been hastily made now is only at the third level.
As soon as this Dragon Tooth Soldier appeared, it was hit by the attacking warrior with a giant axe.
The heavy giant ax roared through the air, creating a gap in the head of this Dragon Tooth Soldier and knocking it away. It seemed that it was still at a disadvantage, but the expression on Lucas's face relaxed.
He was not dead, only slightly injured, and he was still completely passive and hurried to respond to the enemy. Even if he could withstand such a situation, he could finally rest assured.
Sure enough, Dragon Tooth Soldier then got up and rushed towards the giant warrior in front of him again. Even though he was not strong enough to compete with the opponent, there was nothing the opponent could do against this indestructible and hard Dragon Tooth Soldier.
After a fight, several bloody wounds were made on Aru's body.
At this time, Lucas finally had time to look at the overall situation and conceive of future plans and spells.
The soldier Aru in front of him was in a tough fight. Somelin, who was commanding from the rear, changed his expression slightly and sent two Knight on his side to help him again. He did not expect that the warrior Aru, who had always been a strong and unmatched opponent, would suffer from the thin Bone Stitcher.
It would be nice if the other side ended as soon as possible. Somelin turned his gaze to the other side, wanting to see if the graceful and charming girl had been taken down.
But in just a short while, a thick forest of flowers, plants and shrubs spread across the entire place, not only blocking his sight, but even the surrounding soldiers were trapped in it, shouting and struggling.
A moment later, Somelin watched with his own eyes the two Knights he sent out to support were knocked down by several emerald-colored spiral gun blades Penetration, and fell into the deep autumn grass. At this time, he wanted to scream in fear and run away quickly, but unfortunately his back was already pressed against an emerald-colored gun blade of the same Sharpness.
"Don't, don't, I still have many secrets to tell you, don't kill me yet." Somelin raised his hand and quickly begged for mercy.
After hearing his words, Sylutia thought about it and realized that she did have many things to ask, so she did not kill Scorched Stone City's new lord for the time being.
"Then let's talk about it carefully, but you have to ask your men to stop first."
"No problem, just ask, I'll tell my men to stop right now."
Soon, Somelin shouted at the top of his voice, asking the soldiers who were besieging and blocking the attack to stop, and asked the soldier Aru to stop as soon as possible.
Aru, who was concentrating on fighting, discovered that his lord behind him had been kidnapped. Unfortunately, he was far away and there was no way he could save him.
After that, Lucas and Aru slowly stopped, and then each stepped away, and then Lucas walked to Sylutia and On Somelin's side, use the Bone Monster he rubbed down to surround Somelin, so that even if the opponent breaks free from the gun blade in Sylutia's hand, he cannot leave.
The situation finally calmed down at this time, Sylutia also put away his Autumn Garden", sat on a stone aside, and asked Somelin who had his back to her.
"First tell me how you got the position of Lord Scorched Stone City." She wanted to know the ins and outs of everything.
"It's easy to say. In fact, most of my subordinates know my experience." Somelin felt a little relieved when he saw that this girl didn't seem to be specifically targeting his enemies.
"I used to be a merchant in the Anti army. I was responsible for purchasing the trophies obtained by the soldiers and selling them various things they needed, whether it was herbs, weapons, armor, upgrade resources, taboo items, etc."
"Because I have been in the army for a long time, I am particularly familiar with the officers and situations of the Anti army. They will also leave some private matters to me."
"As time passed, I simply became an idle officer in the army to avoid some scrutiny, and then my position gradually improved."
"Anti has been fighting all these years, and business has been very good. I saved a lot of money. After conquering Regas, I negotiated with General Bete and bought this Scorched Stone City as my own fiefdom."
"Then you should know that many of the strategies you have formulated are unreasonable. Now Scorched Stone City is obviously depressed a lot. What is the reason for this?" Sylutia asked about his previous doubts.
Hearing this, Lucas on the side shook his head slightly, feeling that this school girl still worried about too many things. This was probably the curiosity of young people, and he commented silently.
"I didn't want to do this at first, but the local people were very uncooperative with me. They didn't regard me as a nobleman at all. They said all kinds of bad things about me behind my back and tried every means to evade taxes." After saying this, Somelin also became angry.
"I've obviously conquered them, so why don't I be obedient? I'm not here to be their nanny, I'm here to be their master. If they don't cooperate with me, why should I care about these idiots?"
"So, you started thinking of ways to collect taxes and make money?" Sylutia shook his head slightly.
"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Somelin replied angrily.
"I have so many soldiers, and many Knight. If I don't have money, how can I support them? If I can't support them, the residents here will eat me up in seconds."
"It's impossible for a steady stream of water to flow smoothly. If I had foolishly disbanded the army, I would have been assassinated long ago."
"It's not that I'm cruel and sinister, it's just that the world is like this, and I'm just forced to have no choice." He thought that this girl was the kind of young man who was just starting out and who upheld righteous values.
"How much money did you spend to buy the position of Scorched Stone City Lord?" Sylutia knows that it is difficult to reason with such a person.
"It cost about 10,000 gold coins, which is all my savings in the first half of my life." Somelin replied angrily.
Ten thousand gold coins, this number may not be big for the current Sylutia, but for other third-order Transcendent, it is indeed an unimaginable huge amount of money.
"How much do you have now?" Lucas on the side couldn't help but ask.
"I still have some, but if I gave them all to you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive." Somelin's mind was spinning.
"I know that you two have no big grudge against me, and I will not report today's events to Anti's senior management. As for the people who died, I said they were caused by accidents in the mine."
"I can give each of you a large sum of money, just ask you to let me live."
"Don't worry, I will disband most of the soldiers in the future and give the residents of Scorched Stone City a stable life. If you don't believe it, you can come to me at any time in the future." His attitude and tone were sincere, which made the two of them a little doubtful.
Xilu Tia decided to ignore his suggestion and continue the interrogation.
"How many minerals did you find in the mine and what did you produce?" She always felt that the lord in front of her cared too much about this mine and paid a high price for the output of this mine. Such behavior must be supported by some huge income.
"This--some iron ore is produced here, and occasionally there is a special Hellfire Gem, which is very rare."
"Hellfire Gem? No wonder there is a strange burning feeling in the mine." Lucas nodded.
"What kind of gem is that?" Sylutia This is the first time I heard about it.
"It is a relatively special Dead Ember"Aspect Power gem that can be used to learn many abilities and in the rituals of undead creation." Lucas explained.
"If you give me ten of these third-level gems, I can probably summon the three-headed Hellfire Hound."
It seems that this Lord Somelin should have gained a lot of benefits from it, otherwise he would not care so much about this mine. Sylutia will roughly clarify the ins and outs of the matter.
"Do you know the whereabouts of the previous lord, Viscount Xuefeng?" Sylutia finally asked.
"I don't know. When I came here, the Anti army was already controlling this place. The previous lord probably went to other countries." It seems that he came here relatively late. Sylutia recalled that Viscount Xuefeng and Scholar Heide left after a few months of occupation, and Somelin came here about a year ago.
After meeting with the two people and asking questions, Somelin felt that the opportunity had come.
"Don't worry, you two. I will give the unearthed gems to you as a gift. If I unearth new gems in the future, I will keep half of them for you." He was very smart and tried to describe some kind of long-term benefit to let the two of them keep his life.
I have to say that this person is really good at observing and guessing people's hearts. If it were someone else who was a little greedy, they would probably agree.
It's a pity that the girl behind him doesn't care much about this profit, nor is she greedy for the property he left behind.
"It would be better if your conduct was better." Sylutia said in a calm voice. This sentence made Somelin feel that something was wrong, and an inexplicable panic arose.
""Actually, I really want to let you go, because if you die, your successor may not be as good."
"But those people who died innocently did not agree." Under Somelin's feet, vines with poisonous thorns were entangled up, and he began to struggle violently, preparing to escape.
"Aru, hurry, save me!"
He called out to the giant warrior in the distance, but unfortunately the poison had spread from his ankles, and soon the lord fell to the ground with a purple face, motionless.
After all, Sylutia still felt some compassion and did not give him a too painful death.
In response, Lucas wanted to stop it, but after a slight pause, he lowered his raised hand.
He originally wanted to squeeze more profits out of this lord before taking action, but he didn't expect this girl to be so decisive.
After experiencing this incident, Lucas's perception of this seemingly peaceful girl has changed a lot. He has an inexplicable feeling, as if this girl is not the naive and innocent girl in the greenhouse that he imagined, but has a mysterious color that makes him unable to see clearly.
"What to do with the remaining soldiers, Tia." Unknowingly, he began to proactively ask the girl for her opinion.
