Forced to be the Lord of the Underworld
Chapter 35
Back to Zuo Temple in Kenda City, I brought back a thousand bottles of potion, plus the potion exchanged with Myerson, the potion was enough for the war with Dakai City later.
However, the potion brought back from the witch is on credit, and interest must be paid.
"You reached a cooperation with Celia?"
Zuo Si didn't put the potion into the system backpack, after all he still wanted to conceal the existence of the system.
Seeing such a large number of potions, Amon naturally thought of it, and he cooperated with the witch.
"Yes." He didn't deny that he would have many contacts with witches in the future, so there was no need to hide it.
"Did you drink the potion?"
"No."
"Yeah." Amon stared straight at him and moved his eyes aside, his eyes obviously became calmer.
As long as he drank the potion, Amon would leave immediately without delay.
Zuo Si wants to transform Kenda City into a solid city, not the current tofu dregs project, even a black skeleton can cause damage to the buildings in the city.
He didn't want to keep hearing news that buildings in the city were destroyed again.
In the next few days, he kept wandering around various rocks, trying to find energy stones suitable for construction.
It's a pity, not to mention the power stones used for construction, even the fuel-type power stones have not been found.
At the place where Zuo Sibu originally collected energy stones, he only set up a sentry in secret to guard the mine in the name of preventing the enemy from invading. The later the news of energy stones is leaked, the more beneficial it will be to him.
[Top~ Grade B building stone detected, do you want to pick it up? 】
Just as he was distracted and touching the stones, the system suddenly gave a reminder.
Zuo Si's hand holding the stone froze suddenly, and he began to observe the stone in his hand, as if there was nothing special?
[Nineteen, what is the B-grade building stone? 】
Nineteen, the housekeeper, is quite useful. At this time, you don't need to click on the details, just ask Nineteen directly.
nineteen:"......"
"Why don't you speak?" Zuo Si asked suspiciously.
But soon he realized that since he entered Nineteen into the system in Witch Island, the child has never come out again, maybe he was panicked.
He chuckled lightly, clicked on the blue screen of the system, and switched the housekeeper to a real person mode.
After Nineteen came out, he explained solemnly: "Building stones are divided into three grades. Grade A, B and C. Grade C building stones can withstand a full blow from green bones. Grade B building stones are difficult to break red bones. Grade A building stones, Even the golden bones can only retreat."
"Let's put it this way, if Kenda City was built with B-grade building stones, I'm afraid only the principality's undead army can break through the defense."
The principality has hundreds of warships, hundreds of sea monsters, and [-] skeletons. The number of this undead army can break through the second-tier city. One can imagine how strong the defense of the building stone is.
Zuo Si looked at the stone mountain and asked, "Is this mountain all B-grade building stones?"
"Yes."
"Can you rebuild Kenda City?"
"No, we can only rebuild the City Lord's Mansion."
That's still too little, Zuo Si looked thoughtfully at the construction stone in his hand.
If it is used to build the City Lord's Mansion, it can indeed enhance the defense to a certain extent, but in fact, once the city gate falls, no matter how hard the City Lord's Mansion is built, it will not help.
If you want to build it, you must first build the city wall. It doesn't matter if it is a little weaker inside, but there are not enough building stones.
Zuo Si thought of the docking place. Building warships is a secret activity, and building a base is an imminent matter.
Thinking of this, he probably knows how to use these B-grade building stones.
He asked Will to send someone to dig up all the stones and transport them back to Kenda City.
In the next few days, the skeletons in Kenda City were transporting Grade B construction stones in and out. The ordinary skeletons in the city did not understand why, and the new city lord was obsessed with transporting stones.
They don't understand, of course Zuo Si won't take the time to explain. After people vacated the boat parking area, a lot of stones were piled up on it.
It won't be long before the docking area will be transformed into a solid base for building warships.
At the same time, after paying the tribute of gold coins, the county side did not make things difficult for Hande and others, and immediately gave the title to Zuo Si after receiving the money.
From now on, Zuo Si is the veritable new city lord of Kenda City.
"Congratulations, Lord City Master." All the skeletons in the conference hall stood up to congratulate.
Zuo Si nodded, didn't say anything, it was just a title, if it hadn't involved too many things, he wouldn't have wanted it that much, let alone cost him [-] gold coins.
But the money has already been spent, what he wants to think about is how to use the status of the city lord to maximize the benefits.
In fact, the civilian skeletons in the city are very nervous recently. According to the past practice, when the new city lord takes office, they have to pay taxes again.
First the old city lord, then Marin, and now at Zuosi, their blood was almost drained.
In fact, Zuo Si didn't even want to ask them to collect taxes. How much money can the tax of the entire Kenda City have? War is the fastest way to get rich. Next, all his thoughts will be on the cooperation with Myerson superior.
Seek skin with the tiger, discuss Dakaicheng together, and lose both people and wealth.
This does not mean that he exempts the tax of the skeletons in the city. After all, the tax collected is not only for him, but most of it has to be handed over to the county, but the tax collection time of the county is fixed, no matter how many you change The city lord, just give the money when the time comes, he doesn't want to advance the money himself.
Marin's act of re-collecting taxes is all for his own self-interest.
Zuo Si is short of money, but he doesn't mean to kill the skeletons in the city. Besides, the gold coins collected by Marin have been used in exchange for titles, and he has no loss.
"City Master, Lanlin City sent people here." At this moment, a skeleton came in to report.
Finally came, Zuo Si raised his finger slightly: "Let it come in."
A black skeleton came in and said, "The envoy of Lanlin City has seen Mr. Zuo."
"What's the matter that Lord Myerson asked you to come?" Zuo Si raised his eyes lazily, just like Marin back then.
The black bone skeleton looked at him thoughtfully, and then said: "The Lord City Lord said that we will send troops to Kenda City in seven days."
Seven days later, Myerson was quite anxious: "Go back and tell the Lord Myerson to gather outside the city."
"By the way, the city lord asked the servants to congratulate Mr. Zuo for officially becoming the lord of the city, and it is not in vain to speak well for Mr. Zuo in the Earl's Mansion."
Zuo Si's brow bone moved slightly to look at Hand, and when he saw it nodding, he smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank City Lord Myerson."
The reason why Myerson did this is easy to guess. Compared with dividing things and the like, it is still necessary to let Zuo Si send troops first, and not to send troops. Those things are for nothing.
Zuo Si, who can't get the status of city lord, will suffer a lot. Even if he agrees to cooperate, he keeps saying that the reconstruction of Kenda City will take time, and if he doesn't send troops for a long time, then it can't do anything against him.
So we can only let him obtain the status of the city lord as soon as possible, and then send troops to open the city.
"My lord Zuo, the city lord asked the servants to wait for the lord to send troops in Kenda City, and go back together."
This is to leave someone to remind him at any time, Zuo Si immediately thought of Myerson's intention.
He already has the title of city lord, and with that time-limited side mission, even without Myerson, he will not stop fighting. This time just happens to be an opportunity, and of course he will not refuse.
"Ville, order troops, bring three thousand skeletons, and eight warships to fight."
Myerson's staff asked, "Will these be too few?"
Lanlin City recruited [-] skeletons from the eight major tribes, plus Myerson's own [-] skeletons, for a total of [-] undead warriors and twelve warships. few.
Zuo Si stared at it coldly: "Then you go and tell Myerson that if you want to cooperate with these undead warriors, you should cooperate. If you don't cooperate, Zuo Si will not force you."
"Master Zuo was joking, Lord City Lord naturally wants to cooperate with you, Master Zuo." Hei Gu immediately flattered him.
If the Lord Myerson knows that it almost messed up the cooperation between the two cities, then it really can't afford it and walks away.
After sending away the people from Lanlin City, Zuo Si said: "Let the construction of the warship area be handed over to Hande. The army is going to fight, and the rear needs blue bones to sit in charge."
"Yes, City Lord."
"Remember, the thing about transporting stones."
Zuo Si directly used the army to build the base, and he wanted to hire some civilians to come, but those civilians seemed to be afraid of him, so he didn't force it.
Just let the subordinates tell the civilian skeletons to help quarry and get a bottle of potion a month.
Now he has no money, so he can only use potions to pay off his debts. In Minghai, a bottle of ordinary potions can be sold for ten gold coins. This price is definitely considered high to hire civilians. Although many people are afraid of him and dare not come, there are quite a few of them. , There are two or three hundred skeletons.
It should be about the same if all the B-grade construction stones are recovered within a month.
It's just that the subsequent base construction may be time-consuming. If he can get the foundation, the time will be shortened by at least half.
He glanced at the time of the lottery draw, and there were still 20 days before the next lottery draw. He hoped that before that, he could earn more gold coins, so that he could buy the must-win card and the European Qi card.
"Where's Jedro?"
He raised sea monsters unlike others, who raised sea monsters in captivity, but ran around the city with Jedro, as long as they didn't make trouble.
Anyway, the sky above the city is so wide that it can roam freely.
Ma En immediately stepped forward and said, "Jedru is outside the Santo's Mansion."
"Call it back, don't go out these few days." It is somewhat inconvenient for the people of Lanlin City to be in the City Lord's Mansion, and people need to watch it.
He didn't have many people available under his command, so he could only let Jedro watch. Wherever a sea monster wanted to go, the people in Lanlin City had nothing to say.
Besides, if you have the ability to reason with the sea monster yourself.
So in the next few days, there was such a scene. The people in Lanlin City just went out, and saw a big head at the door, staring at it viciously.
Then it can only go back depressed.
Jedro's thoughts are obvious: it's all your fault, the master locked me in the Santo's Mansion, otherwise I don't know where I'm wandering in the city.
When the time came to the day of the expedition, Zuo Si knew very clearly that the attack on Dakaesong was not only Myerson's opportunity, but also his.
As long as he successfully captures the Great Kaesong, it will be regarded as the first step for him to complete the side mission.
Establishing a new county, becoming an earl, and killing Sekensi, these three things can be one thing, or many things. As for where to break through, he has to think carefully.
Amon keenly felt that he was absent-minded, the army was about to set off, why were he still thinking about it?
He was about to ask, but was interrupted by a notification.
"City Lord, the Earl has sent someone."
Sending people to come when the army is leaving, the people who come are not good?
However, the potion brought back from the witch is on credit, and interest must be paid.
"You reached a cooperation with Celia?"
Zuo Si didn't put the potion into the system backpack, after all he still wanted to conceal the existence of the system.
