The knight officer's face turned livid in an instant. He stared at Surdak for a few seconds. When he left, he even forgot that he should give a military salute to Surdak before leaving. The corpses of the black magicians and the valuable magic
The robes were hung on the wooden cross outside the cave. The knight officers took a careful look at them before entering the cave with their men...
Although these magicians have turned into mummies, the people in the Yetipias Manor still have some impressions of their faces.
It's just that everyone never knew that they were hiding underground in this manor and had lived there for so long. They thought they were a group of outsiders who regularly purchased daily necessities at Yezipias Manor every month.
Surdak ignored the knight officer and gave Edgar a wink, asking him to drive the knight officer away.
Now it is the army of Ruit City that takes over the research institute of the Black Magic Monastery, and he will not allow other forces to step in at this time, or to put it more bluntly, share the credit.
The heavy armored infantry regiment lost its lives, and the death pension that Surdak set for the troops in the Ganbu plane was not a small sum...
He first rushed to the place where the corpses of the fallen soldiers were kept and took a look. The corpses of these soldiers were all put into black coffins and parked neatly in the cave. It was cool enough here, and these corpses should not be so fast.
It stinks.
It is hard to imagine that the Black Magic Monastery actually has so many coffins in reserve. It is probably the magicians who prepared them for themselves in advance.
At least that's what Surdak thinks.
"When will the logistics team arrive?" Suldak asked Captain Edgar behind him.
"We should be here by tomorrow night at the latest!" Commander Edgar replied. He was worried that Suldak would criticize the Heavy Infantry Regiment Logistics Department for the slow movement of these convoys, so he quickly added: "Convoy preparations
The supplies have to go through the portal again, and we have to find out where we are going in Ruit City..."
He did not continue to say what he said later because he wanted Suldak to think for himself.
Surdak nodded slightly and walked out of the cave.
The heavy armored infantry regiment set up a new camp outside the cave. The wounded soldiers camp was in a tent close to the foot of the mountain. Siya was treating the injured soldiers when she saw Surdak walking in quickly with a group of men.
, then raised his head to greet Suldak and said, "Dak, are you awake?"
Suldak nodded, moved closer to Thea, took her place and asked: "How is the situation?"
Xiya knew that Surdak was asking about the wounded person in front of her, and she quickly replied sternly: "The injury is not serious, but the blood is infected by putrefactive toxins. Now I can only control the toxins from spreading further, but I cannot eradicate them...
…”
"How many such wounded are there?" Surdak asked, while using the Holy Light spell on the wounded.
A beam of white light fell on the wounded person, and the wound with cyan bruises immediately turned into a normal color...
"Everyone is gathered here, waiting for you to come!" Siya took a long breath and said easily.
Surdak couldn't help but raise his head and asked: "What if I can't wake up in time? How should these wounded be treated?"
Siya answered without any hesitation: "I can't dissolve these toxins, but I can concentrate them on an unimportant area of the wounded's body, and then cut off that part of the body with a 'click'!"
"..."
Surdak had nothing to say, because he really had no better way to refute.
…
After seeing these injured warriors, Surdak returned to the cave with the altar to check out the tree of desire. This kind of magic tree is a rare plant-like monster even in the hell world, and has a very high growth rate.
.
Once this tree of desire reaches maturity, it will definitely become a lord.
It has the ability to control all life forms within a few hundred radius to become its slaves or blood food.
The black magician apparently summoned a seed of the Tree of Desire from the hell realm this time, and successfully induced it to germinate. This Tree of Desire is no longer in the seedling stage, and the main nutrient for its growth is
Fresh blood food and soul.
The Tree of Desire needs to absorb enough souls to successfully advance, and this Tree of Desire is a plant-type monster at the peak of the fourth level. If it can break through the last shackles and become a fifth-level monster, it is estimated that Surda
Grams can't defeat it so easily.
This tree was cut down by Surdak himself. Now he returned to the altar and looked at the tree of desire again. The main trunk of the giant tree was already as thick as a water tank, and there were some very tough things inside.
With strong meridians, that tree still accepted the souls of more than twenty black magicians at the last moment, and it also completely fused with one black magician, and even a face was born on the tree trunk.
This already means that primary wisdom has been born in the last stage of this tree of desire...
The crown of this big tree is covered with blood tumors. Now the entire tree has been chopped down on the altar. The blood tumors on the crown have condensed hundreds of blood stones, which are a very rare magic material. The dry trunk
It is not as dense as other trees and can be used to build furniture.
The inside of the Tree of Desire is more like some pipes stuck together. Not only is it empty, but there is some coagulated blood in many of the pipes.
Because we don’t know the specific value of this part of the material, the entire tree has been lying on the altar.
Now, those blood essence stones have been collected by Aphrodite.
Seeing Surdak coming over, Aphrodite discussed with Surdak how to saw off the tree and take it away. According to Aphrodite's idea, even the roots of the altar should be cut.
Dig them all away.
"The Tree of Desire is the main material for making hallucinogenic potions." Aphrodite gave a brief introduction to Surdak.
With just these words, Surdak made up his mind to pack up and take away the entire tree of desire, even digging out all the roots deep in the soil.
"Aphrodite, are you saying that the entire tree is a magic herb?"
Although Suldak is already very rich, he still cannot remain calm.
The succubus nodded slightly and said, "If you understand it this way, it's not impossible..."
She proudly pointed to the wall aside, where the entire wall was blocked by black curtains, and then said casually:
"Oh, by the way, in addition to this precious Tree of Desire, the black magicians here have really collected a lot of good things."
With that said, Aphrodite walked to a cave wall and suddenly opened the curtain in front of the shelves...
Inside were bottles of various potions and plant-based magic materials. These materials were placed all over the wall, and there was even a square tray on the shelf filled with magic crystals.
Surdak was not dazzled by these gains. He glanced at Naomi and asked Aphrodite:
"Have you found any evidence that they arrested the villagers of Selia Village?"
This is also the main reason why Naomi came here. The necromancer wanted to clear his name.
"Yes, there is a row of prisons over there, and Naomi also found the place where they buried the bones." Aphrodite was still the first to answer.
Suldak looked at Naomi with some surprise...
Seemingly understanding Surdak's surprised look, the necromancer shrugged his shoulders and explained: "As a necromancer, he has an extremely keen sense of smell for any corpse."
"Take me to see it!" Surdak said.
Aphrodite walked at the front and passed through the cave. The location of the prison was deeper in the mountain. Here, some prisons as big as toilets were dug on both sides of the original cave, except for the rock walls.
Apart from a row of iron gates, each cell is only two or three square meters, just enough for one person to lie down inside.
There was some filth left in these prisons, and there was even some blood stains on the iron doors and cave walls.
"There are only sixteen villagers who can survive in the prison. Among these people, we found Crake's wife and son." Aphrodite continued.
Surdak was startled for a moment, then asked again: "Does Crake's wife know Crake's true identity?"
"I didn't ask about this, but judging from her sad expression, she probably doesn't know..." Aphrodite replied.
"Then don't tell the story about Crake. Just say that he was killed by a black magician while leading the army. The people who bear the crime are all dead. We can't let the living continue to bear the crime.
Let's end the matter with Craik!" Surdak said to Aphrodite.
"You have the final say on this!" Aphrodite did not refute Suldak, nor did she agree.
"Are the remaining prisoners from Selia Village?" Surdak asked again.
"Ten are villagers from Selia Village, and the other six are from other places." Aphrodite replied.
"Have you ever figured out why they secretly arrested so many civilians here?" Surdak asked.
Aphrodite walked in front. She stopped and said without thinking: "Of course it is to nourish the tree of desire. That tree not only needs blood food, but also needs to absorb the soul..."
Surdak slapped his forehead, remembering that Aphrodite had already explained it before.
Continuing to walk deeper into the cave, there was a cliff-like place in front of him. Looking at the deep and dark space below, Surdak dropped the pine branch torch in his hand. With a light that was not too bright, Su
Erdak saw that the pit should be more than ten meters deep, and indeed there were a large number of bones piled inside.
Naomi stood next to Suldak and asked cautiously:
"Lord Earl, would you like me to wake up all these skeletons and have them line up, so that it will be easier to find out the specific number..."
Surdak glanced at Naomi speechlessly, and said quickly: "This is not necessary."
