infinite blood core

Chapter 257 President Zidi (Repair)

Deep Sea Monster.

The meditation room is filled with negative energy.

In the place with the strongest negative energy, there is a ghost girl floating quietly.

She has a beauty that is far beyond ordinary people. In addition to being pretty and charming, she also has a bit of cold charm brought by ghosts.

The ghost girl Zidi closed her eyes at this moment, revealing a look of pain.

It is not easy to take a critical step from an ordinary person to become a mage.

This is a jump in the level of life.

Zidi had this experience.During her lifetime, she was promoted from an ordinary person to a bronze-level mage.

But this process is more natural.

She has the qualifications of a mage herself, and her bloodline helps her.After taking the magic potion, she finally got promoted naturally within a few months.

This time is different, she is equivalent to compressing the natural accumulation of several months into a short night.

To do this, you must first have perception, and secondly be able to absorb and transform external energy.

Perceiving external elements is the primary manifestation of the mage's talent.

The stronger the mage's talent, the stronger this perception, the wider the perception range, and the higher the precision.

Compared to this point, the second point is more difficult and more critical.

The way the mage transforms external energy is through meditation.

For a normal person, even if the meditation is successful, it is difficult to reach the standard.

But Zi Di is different.

She has extensive meditation experience herself.She was a black iron magician during her lifetime, and her meditation method mainly absorbed fire elements.

Fire elements are neutral energies.

Compared with the fire element, negative energy is more gloomy and cold, and it is incompatible with life.

Zidi is now the life form of a ghost, and her whole body is shrouded in negative energy.

As she meditates, these negative energies fill her body and gradually transform.

The chill is getting deeper and deeper, and Zi Di is like falling into an ice cave.

In her perception, the abundant negative energy was like gray fog at first, but now it has accumulated into a darkness, tightly wrapping her.

This is the location.

The meditation room of the Deep Sea Monster Fish can decompose undead materials, extract negative energy, and create an environment suitable for necromancer meditation.

The meditation room is very important for mage practice and can improve a lot of efficiency.

Zidi gradually felt as if she had fallen into the depths of the ocean, she kept sinking and sinking, and there was a dead silence around her.

In the biting cold, she seemed to be gradually melted.

During the patience, Zidi returned to the past in a trance.

As a magic apprentice, she practiced magic in the academy.

It was a tough time.

She begins to be truly independent, but realizes the limit of her own potential.

Her bloodline is only black iron.

But her boyfriend suddenly had a bloodline awakening, and her boyfriend turned into a dragon man, possessing the talent of an excellent fire mage!
His progress is getting bigger and bigger, the momentum is fierce, and he is getting more and more attention.

He became more and more dazzling, and the number of female apprentices around him began to increase.

These female suitors secretly put pressure on Zidi.

"You don't deserve to be with him!"

"So far, what achievements have you achieved in your practice? Your bloodline has been decided. You are only a black iron at most. But he will become silver, gold, and even a legend!"

"Don't continue, don't drag him down. Sparrows and goshawks can't fly together."

"There is a kind of love called letting go!"

Zidi insisted, she was unwilling to give up, and believed in the love between herself and her boyfriend.

However, there is bad news.

Her boyfriend's parents forced her boyfriend to marry him, demanding that he marry another talented female magic apprentice.

The dragon man's boyfriend comforted Zidi: "I won't leave you, I don't have any feelings for her at all. You have to believe me, my love."

"I believe it!" Zidi never doubted her boyfriend's heart.

But because of this belief, it made her feel more pain.

"I'm not worthy of him, I'm dragging him down!"

"What, what makes me worthy of him?"

"No matter what it is, as long as it can let me be side by side with him, no matter what it is!"

Zidi shouted to the sky.

In the shadowy swamp, her father's body emerged.

"My princess, my love." Her dead father handed her a roll of parchment.

The parchment unfolded, and its contents terrified Zidi.

Soul Eater?
Necromancy? !
She hesitated, she struggled.

But in the end, she reached out her hand with a pale face.

The moment the trembling fingers touched the parchment, they shrank back suddenly, as if touching a red soldering iron.

"Kill them all, kill them all!" her father urged, roaring, "Vengeance, revenge!"

Zidi's eyes shone with a black gleam, her face twisted, and she reached forward and grabbed the parchment fiercely.

She was about to incorporate the roll of parchment into her body when she suddenly moved.

"and many more."

"Wait a moment"

"This is, this is... an illusion!"

The next moment, she opened her eyes in the meditation room.

The rich negative energy is like a layer of green wind, covering her, so green that she can't see her fingers.

Zi Di quickly became conscious.

She felt the mana pool in her body.

She is already a mage.

Meditation is not without risk.

It requires peace and clarity of mind.

And often in this process, the private thoughts, desires, and emotions that have been accumulated unconsciously on weekdays will be revealed and flooded.

Sometimes, hallucinations occur.

If Zidi is still deceived and integrates the sheepskin into her body, it means that she indulges her desires and lets her emotions drown her reason.

She will become delirious and become an undead monster that attacks others and acts on instinct.

Fortunately, she had experience and broke free at a critical moment.

Check your mana pool.

It shrunk into a point, hidden deep in her mind, as if pinned on the void.

You can say it exists or you can say it is nothing.

This is the foundation of a mage.

From now on, Zidi will be able to absorb external negative energy through meditation and convert it into her own undead mana.

"Finally became a Necromancer."

Zi Di's mood is a little complicated.

She continued to meditate to absorb and transform the negative energy in her body.

Every time she converted, she felt a little more relaxed.

These negative energies eroded her sanity, causing her to gradually lose her humanity and tormented by the ghostly hunger.

After being converted into mana, this erosion is greatly reduced.

Zidi truly mastered this power!
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes again.

This time, she has transformed the negative energy that can be transformed into undead mana.

Mana is stored in mana pools, which spring up when needed.

The erosion of negative energy still exists.

"The ghost itself is based on negative energy."

"If these negative energies are completely absorbed, this life form of mine will be destroyed!"

Zi Di understood this.

Resurrection is her goal.

She opened the door of the meditation room and saw the dragon boy who had been guarding her.

"I succeeded." The girl showed a faint smile.

The dragon man nodded: "I know you can do it."

The girl felt the boy's trust in her, and couldn't help recalling the previous hallucinations.

Love, possessiveness, hatred, revenge...

It seems that her love for him has covered her father's hatred.

Confirming that Zidi is in good condition, the dragon man said again: "I have to leave the Deep Sea Monster Fish first, it's a little troublesome."

"Oh? What happened?"

After a moment.

Harbor dock, in the captain's cabin of the flagship.

The Dragon Man Boy, Zong Ge, Cang Xu, and Three Swords gathered together.

The orc young patriarch knelt in front of them, gritted his teeth and swore, "I beg you, save my clansmen!"

"I will be grateful for your kindness forever."

"I will lead my clan, allegiance to you, and never betray!"

His name is Kuai Kuai, and he is the young patriarch of a Shiba Inu tribe.After Zong Ge showed his intention to recruit, he quickly made a decision and begged the leaders of the survivors to save his clan.

The dragon man sent him down and looked at the others.

Zi Di's figure also appeared.

"Tell me what you think." The dragon man looked around.

Zong Ge was the first to speak. He pointed out that the sailors were insufficient, and it was difficult to change and improve the military strength.

"It is necessary to recruit these Shiba Inu people."

"The canine orcs are famous for their loyalty, and among them, the native dog people, Shiba Inu people, Raduo dog people, shepherd dog people, and Chow Chow people are the most."

"The slave army and the servant army can also become a strong army."

"If we help Quick Leg and save his clan, we will have a group of really reliable subordinates."

"That's right." San Dao then echoed, "Deep Sea Monster Fish should not be exposed, we need to cover up our identity on the surface."

"Now that pirates are rampant, we can't do without naval battles."

"In the worst case, if we can't get the understanding of the empire, our growing strength will be our last resort."

Cang Xu said, "That's true. We had a fight with Rou Zang before, and the sailors were bad at even basic artillery bombardment, so they couldn't threaten the bathtub with firepower."

"But." Cang Xu changed the conversation, "I don't think it's a good time to replenish our troops."

"We already have a lot of sailors, and these orcs will overload the ships."

"And we're tight on money right now."

"The most urgent task is to build an anti-reconnaissance prophecy array."

"Actually, it is very difficult to acquire the materials for the formation of the formation. The main difficulty is funding, and I am worried about this matter."

After a pause, Cang Xu finally said: "The most important thing is the attitude of the loach lord."

"In the early morning, Zong Ge and Heifei told him that Tan Loach's attitude was very ambiguous."

"On the one hand, he wants to hire us to deal with the meat hoard. On the other hand, he also covets these orc slaves."

"If Black Lung compromises with Tan Loach and sells orc slaves to it at a low price. This benefit may make Tan Loach stand on Hei Lung's side. At that time, we may have to hand over Quick Legs to them."

For a while, everyone was silent.

Zong Ge and San Dao did not refute.

Cang Xu's words also make sense, and that's the truth.

It was a consensus reached by the survivors not to deal with the meat possession.

Survivors have more urgent things to do, and dealing with meat hoarding is also risky.

And using force against beach loach and black lung is the next best policy.

There are five or six silvers on the beach loach, and only two survivors.Rouzang did not choose to storm Snake and Rat Island.If you do this, the black lung will probably wake up with a smile every morning.

The last way is to withdraw directly and leave Snake and Rat Island with Kuaishou and others to prevent the orcs from being reclaimed.

That's not right either.

Not to mention the pursuit of the meat store, it is said that the purpose of the survivors themselves has not been achieved.

They need to retrieve the sapphire golden coffin!

This is an artifact, its value is immeasurable, and it is impossible for the survivors to let go.

But so far, there is no clue about this mission.

For a moment, silence enveloped the captain's room.

The young dragon man thought hard and was also troubled by the current situation.

The orcs of the fast legs can strengthen their own strength, of course he is willing.

But the current situation is that these orcs are not important at all.

They are just a fuse.

The Black Lungs want to get these orcs back, this is his money!

The survivors didn't want to deal with the meat storage, they wanted to get back the sapphire golden coffin and left.The orcs of the fast legs are optional, and if they are, they are just icing on the cake.

Tan Loach wants to gather as much power as possible to deal with the meat store.

The meat hides the biggest threat to his snake and rat island, like a sting in the throat.

The contradiction between Black Lung and Zong Ge is not troublesome for Tan Loach.This was different from what the city guard commander thought.

Tan Loach should be very happy, because he caught the black lung gang and the survivors at the same time.

This made both groups have requests for him.

Black Lung, Survivor, Beach Loach, and Meat Zang outside, these forces are strong and weak, each has a purpose, and they compete with each other, forming a whirlpool.

The young captain already felt: they began to sink deeper and deeper in this whirlpool.

Zidi stared at the price list in her hand, and said softly: "An ordinary adult male bull, the price is 8 gold. An ordinary adult male dog, the price is 7 gold."

"The price is very reasonable, even lower than the current market price."

Everyone was startled.

Zidi laughed and explained: "There are many factors that affect the price of a slave. For example, age, physical condition, gender, strength, ability, etc."

"For example, in some places, the price of female slaves is higher than that of men. The main reason is that female slaves are more obedient."

"If a slave is proficient in multiple languages, able to design buildings, and has the skills to sing, recite, play, dance, etc., the price will be higher."

"Generally speaking, migrant laborer-type human slaves who do manual labor are about 3 gold as adults. For heavy manual labor, the price is 6 gold. Those who can do some management or academic work, the price is around 9 gold."

"If it is an orc, because the physical quality of an orc far exceeds that of a human race, the market price will be higher. An adult male of the cattle race can basically achieve three times the labor of an adult human male. If the price is only 8 gold, it is obviously cheap. of."

"Ordinary orc slaves are usually used as laborers such as farmers, miners, builders, and shepherds. Because the labor volume of male cattle tribes is higher than that of dog tribes, their prices are generally higher than that of dog tribes."

"This kind of rule does not apply to superhumans. Because basically, superhuman slaves will not be used for these basic labors."

"Bronze-level fighters cost about 10 times as much as normal. Black iron is 10 times as expensive as bronze, and silver is 10 times as expensive."

"Silver-level slaves are already rare. The price is generally less than 10000 gold, but it must be higher than 1000 gold. The price is comparable to a gold-level weapon or protective gear."

"Mages are worth more than fighters."

"Gold-level slaves are very rare."

"In the slave trade, both the seller and the buyer have to pay taxes to the empire. On the territory of each lord, the taxes vary and were generally higher before. In recent years, because the empire has invaded the wilderness continent, the empire has lowered the tax rate of slave trade. , a large number of orc slaves are attacking the slave market. According to peacetime, an ordinary bull orc adult male will cost at least 10 gold coins."

Zidi raised the quotation in Yang's hand: "Here, the price of Quick Legs, the young patriarch of the dog clan, is 940 gold. He is only a black iron level, but it is already close to 1000 gold. Obviously, his potential is very strong, and there will be more in the future. The possibility of entering the silver level."

Zong Ge was silent for a while and said, "Miss Zidi, thank you for your explanation. But we don't want to hear this."

Zidi smiled: "No, I haven't finished my words yet."

"If we just keep the dog clansmen of the fast legs, the improvement of our military power is very limited, right?"

"Of course. The more dog races the better." Zong Ge said.

Cang Xu interjected: "Our funding gap is huge, and we can't even fully purchase magic materials."

"Actually, we have money." Zidi said.

Everyone was stunned.

Zidi said immediately: "Black lung has slave trade, we can also resell some people."

"We have a little too many Terran sailors these days, aren't we?"

"I just said that if we add these dog people, our ship will be overloaded. This is not conducive to long-distance voyages."

Everyone looked different.

After thinking about it three times: "Strictly speaking, these fishermen were rescued by us. The pirates also came from the Big Claw Pirates and were our captives. We are fully qualified to resell them."

"No!" The dragon man boy categorically refused, his face was very serious, "Zidi, are you trying to sell fishermen and pirates as slaves?"

"Of course not." Zidi categorically rejected.

San Dao and others became more and more puzzled, and they didn't know what medicine Zidi was selling.

"Sometimes, the needs of the market can be changed, or even created out of thin air." Zidi said her plan.

After everyone heard it, their faces became wonderful.

Zong Ge nodded.

The dragon man boy smiled helplessly.

Cang Xu praised: "As expected of the head of the Chamber of Commerce! According to your method, this matter may be solved perfectly."
