Chapter 15 Defects of Dungeon
The sudden appearance of the Blackstone Tower soon became the center of discussion among the residents of Brandon Stone City. As underground residents of the Wild North, it was probably the first time that the gray dwarves of Brandon Stone City felt the power of magic so intuitively.
.It only takes one night to build such a tall stone tower. This speed alone is astonishing. If it were done by gray dwarves, even if they worked overtime without sleep, it would probably take at least a week to complete.
But for that terrifying necromancer, it was just a blink of an eye.
In the face of this absolute power, Brandon Stone City finally calmed down. Of course the cunning and cunning gray dwarves understood what this meant. Although they had long known about the news that Kardek invited the Necromancer as the consul, privately
Not everyone down there agrees with Kardek's approach. But now, the opposition has completely disappeared. There may still be muttering complaints lurking in the dark shadows of the mine, but no one is stupid enough to confront them again.
Question this question.
Khadek was also pained and happy about this. On the one hand, he enjoyed the awe-inspiring looks of the gray dwarves who thought they had reached an alliance with the Necromancer. On the other hand, he was also worried about the moody Necromancer.
Will you give him a "little lesson" because of your own complacency?
But it is a pity that it is not so easy to get off the pirate ship. Now, in addition to using the intimidation of the Necromancer to consolidate his position, and trying every means to get closer to Zhan, Kadek also
There is no other way.
Zhann was not interested in paying attention to Khadek's thoughts. The gray dwarf archon was a slippery man, and Zhann was too lazy to interact with him if it was not necessary. For Zhann, the most important thing was the construction of the dungeon.
Unfortunately, although the dungeon system has been upgraded and renovated, there is still a thorny problem...
"I think we should stop summoning undead creatures, Master."
Standing next to Zhan En, Enoa's expression was as calm as ever, but her eyes revealed deep worry.
"Yeah, I can see it too..."
Hearing his adjutant's speech, Zhan crossed his arms and nodded unhappily. Looking around, he could see a layer of white mist floating everywhere in the deep dungeon labyrinth passage in front of him, and covered with white frost.
The ceiling and floor penetrated along the lines on the floor. It looked like the entire dungeon was like a big ice cave. A biting cold hit my face. Zhan En was fine, but Bix on the other side was frozen.
His face was pale and his teeth were chattering.
This is not because there are four seasons of autumn and winter underground, the reason is also very simple, just like what Enoa said - they summoned too many undead creatures.
After returning, Zhan's power further expanded, and now there are more than a dozen undead creatures in his dungeon. Although the number of such monster patrols is sufficient for the dungeon, it has a side effect.
Undead creatures are undead. The reason why they are feared by the living is not only because they are walking corpses, but also because they are death themselves. They exude the smell of death wherever they go, so they keep living people away from them.
.In the words of Zhan En’s hometown, it means too much yin energy.
More than a dozen undead creatures are roaming around in the dungeon, turning Zhan's dungeon into a veritable tomb. In this environment surrounded by death, any living person will be in bad luck. If you take a photo
Excessive death energy can lead to serious illness or death. Even if Zhan En is a demon, it is absolutely impossible to stay in such a place for too long, otherwise he will really consider changing his profession to a lich.
"Disperse the banshees to the outskirts of the dungeon for patrolling, and just throw the remaining walking zombies inside."
After thinking for a moment, Zhan En quickly gave the instructions. Fortunately, this is not without its benefits. If it were just undead creatures, the other party might only treat this place as a tomb. This kind of disguise is very important to Zhan En.
It's also very useful.
Speaking of which, the other sons of the Demon King are eager to engrave the name of the dungeon on the outside as a door sign, but here, they have to cover it up... Hey, this is the difference.
Shaking his head and sighing, Zhan turned around and walked towards the study.
"By the way, Enoa, how is the situation over at Verna?"
"At present, everything is normal and there is nothing unusual."
After that, Verna, who was already alone, was thrown to the Blackstone Watchtower by Zhan and took charge of guarding her. The mixed-blood dark elf did not raise any objections to this and had no intention of running away. She knew very well that after losing the mercenary,
After the group, I can't make any big waves in the Underdark by myself. At least with Zhan En, she can live a more stable life with the support of the Necromancer. If she leaves the Black Rock Tower without knowing whether to live or die, then Zhan En
There is no guarantee what the gray dwarves outside will do to this dark elf who is alone and has no reinforcements.
Although the dark elves have a good reputation, are the gray dwarves vegetarians? Apart from other things, which race can live in the dark underground without becoming someone else's slave? Which race doesn't have two brushes?
And one is yellow and one is red.
"For now, do you think our deal with Brandon Stone City is feasible?"
Pushing open the door to the study, Zhan yawned, and then looked at Enoa next to him. However, in response to his master's question, Enoa shook her head with worry.
"I'm sorry, Master, I don't trust the gray dwarves. If it's an occasional transaction, that's fine, but if there is a long-term and stable transaction channel, I'm worried that the gray dwarves will have other ideas."
"This is also a problem..."
Hearing this, Zhan couldn't help but frown.
Currently, Zhan En is not short of money or mineral treasures, but he is short of one very important thing—food.
Before this, Zhan's food was prepared by Enoa, and it was basically obtained by hunting the surrounding underground lizards. The amount was not much, but since Zhan was the only living person, it was enough. Even now
Now that Bix is here, the dwarf's appetite is only that of an ordinary human child, so you don't have to worry about it at all.
But it's different if you want to summon creatures of other races, especially rare creatures. As long as they are alive, they must eat. The rarer and more powerful the creatures are, the greater their appetites are. Now Zhan's food reserves are enough for him.
With Bix, if they are summoned again, it will definitely be a time of famine. In this case, a large amount of food reserves will be needed.
And this is where Enoa's worries come from. If you only buy some food occasionally, the gray dwarves won't care. But if you buy large quantities of food regularly to support an army, unless the gray dwarf consul is an idiot, otherwise
Even a fool can see the problem.
Not to mention that the money to buy these foods is also a trouble for Zhan. Hiring monsters also requires payment. It is natural for a boss to provide food, accommodation and wages for his employees. If people come from another space to work for you, if they even get some compensation
If not, then who is willing to do it?
This is why Zhan chose to summon undead creatures - they don't need to pay or eat, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. Of course, undead creatures are not without flaws. For example, the undead creatures Zhan summoned have already arrived.
If the upper limit is reached, if Zhan summons it again, the dungeon that cannot withstand the erosion of the breath of death will really be doomed.
Because of this, no player has ever built a pure necromancy dungeon in the game - this is a true "death seeking".
"It seems to be a real trouble..."
Sitting back at the desk, Zhan opened the heavy book in front of him and murmured to himself. What the dungeon lacks now is a good circulation system. If Zhan can release the location of the dungeon, it can lure adventurers
If you are a hunter, you can make some money. But Zhan's dungeon is still very weak now. It can handle those unorganized and undisciplined idiots. If there is a slightly stronger team, then his dungeon will probably need to be overhauled.
.
And just when Zhan En was thinking hard, suddenly, a sweet and crisp voice suddenly appeared, interrupting his thoughts.
"Well, how about letting me help you solve this problem?"
Hearing this voice, Enoa immediately took a step to block Zhan's side. At the same time, she saw the dim and trembling shadows in the study suddenly burning like flames, expanding and twisting. Then, a petite and slender figure suddenly appeared.
The figure let out a silver bell-like laughter and walked out of the flames.
It was a girl who seemed to be about the same age as Enoya, but she was dressed differently from the eldest lady of Enoya. The girl in front of her was wearing a black and white tuxedo that was only worn by men, and her dark leather boots were sparkling.
Under the light of a candle, her long hair, as bright red as a flame, was tied into two ponytails and hung down from her shoulders, looking very capable and mature.
The girl walked out of the flames, then leaned down solemnly and bowed respectfully to Zhan En.
"Long time no see. His Highness the Third Prince Zhan En. The Kulisgain Chamber of Commerce will serve you wholeheartedly. Your needs are our glory... How can I help you?"
"What are you doing here? Miss Clarice."
Facing the girl's words, Zhan En just stretched out his hand, pushed up his glasses, and then asked helplessly.
