Chapter 226: Businessman’s Way

 Ange is usually just a skeleton. If he were thrown into the wilderness, he would probably either find a place to squat or wander around, just like those ordinary skeletons. If Nigris didn't point at him, he might not even bother to move.

.

But as long as it involves planting things, his subjective initiative will become super strong. He will immediately ask Dagu where the relay station is, and then run away with the team, leaving behind a bunch of confused refugees and hugging people.

Serena from Big Cat.

Then the big cat also jumped out of Serena's arms, turned around and let out a 'wow' at her, and ran towards Ange, its slightly staggering steps showing its weakness.

Big Bone turned around and let out a 'ouch'. The big cat nodded quickly, jumped onto Big Bone's palm, climbed up along the arm, quickly climbed to the top of Big Bone's head, and lay down there, the flesh and meat on his body were

The hair is hanging down, covering the head firmly.

Da Gu said with some worry: "You have to be careful, I am too strong and I will break you."

Nigris, who heard this sentence earlier, curled his lips and muttered: "If you can destroy the dimensional beast, then you must be stronger than the Purple Gold Skeleton."



The No. 3 relay tower is located 120 kilometers away from the Holy Wall City. According to the coverage area of ​​40 kilometers, a relay tower will be set up every 40 kilometers to transmit the signals of the communication dominoes. This is the third relay tower.

, its owner is called Clint.

After more than 600 years of operation, a small town has formed near the No. 3 relay tower, with nearly a thousand people living here.

Clint had just finished feeding the relay spirit and walked down slowly. As soon as he reached the bottom of the tower, the housekeeper came up to him and said, "Sir, the old man from the town has just come to visit you."

"Oh? Where is he?"

"I just left," the steward said.

"Did something happen?" Clint asked.

The housekeeper said: "It's still about the salt. All the salt was eaten a few days ago. Now people in the town feel tired more and more easily, and they can't do some heavy work."

"Alas, I have already sent out a request for purchase information, and I don't know when I will receive a response. Please hold on a little longer." Clint said distressedly, but he did not hold out much hope.

Because salt mainly comes from humans, now that humans have been driven away, this source has been cut off.

Although humans who retreat in a hurry will leave behind a lot of supplies, including salt, they will still be left with nothing. After the salt left behind is eaten up, there will be no new sources of supplies, and the humans he raised will still die.

Now Clint not only has to consider the issue of salt, he also has to consider whether he can continue to feed the more than a thousand people in the town.

What should I do if I can’t keep them alive? Kill them all? Or let them fend for themselves?

Since Clint was sent here to preside over Relay Station No. 3 six hundred years ago, these humans and their ancestors have always relied on him for survival.

Guarding the relay station is a very boring job. You have to stay near the tower at all times. You can't leave too far away, and you can't fall asleep. You can't just take a nap like other undead creatures when you are bored, and you will be dizzy and dark.

Get up again and you won't feel the passage of time.

They can't do it. They need to stay awake at all times, feed the relay spirit every day, and let the relay station continue to work. If a relay tower does not work, communications cannot be transmitted.

It's okay to stay sober for a year or two, but as time goes by, you will be bored to death, and many people will develop psychological problems.

Therefore, the benefits of the relay tower are very good. As long as you keep the relay spirit well and prevent the relay spirit from going on strike, no one will care about you even if you turn over near the relay tower. It is equivalent to marking this place as your private territory.

According to the coverage distance of a relay tower of 40 kilometers, the diameter of 40 kilometers becomes your territory. This is such a vast area.

According to Clint's self-comfort statement: "If the area I rule is placed on the main plane, it can at least be considered a count."

Of course, if it can be exchanged, let alone the earl, if the main plane gives him a manor, he will be happy to exchange his territory for it.

What should I do if it's too boring? At first, Klein didn't know what to do, until one day, a farmer came to visit him with his wife and children and asked if he could settle in his territory.

There is a river here that rises every night, making it a very suitable place for farming and settlement.

Clint, who had been bored for too long, naturally welcomed them and personally helped them dig wells and build shacks for them to settle down.

Kleinte's enthusiasm spread his reputation from ten to ten, and soon more and more people came to settle here. Slowly, it developed into a small town.

As more and more people settled, Clint found that it was no longer as boring as before. In his free time, he could go to the town to chat with the elderly, entertain the children, and even help them build wells, harvest crops, and even permanently

It's fun for everyone to watch the light strip together at night.

Moreover, human beings have a very strong ability to survive. As long as they are given space, they will cultivate their own fields, cultivate food, have children and multiply. In fact, Kleint did not give them any big help. He just allocated a piece of land for them.

It slowly turned into a small town.

The only thing that humans can't do is probably salt. They can't buy salt and need Clint's help.

It's a pity that in the current situation, Clint can't buy salt, and in his foreseeable future, there will be less and less salt, and even other necessities of life will become less and less. By then, the Sunken Land will still be able to buy salt.

Can you afford to raise so many living animals?

It's really a headache. They have been together for six hundred years. Clint definitely can't just watch everyone die. If he wants to save everyone, he needs salt and even food.

With years of farming, the grain output of the arable land in the town has been declining year by year. In the past few decades, he had already had to buy grain from outside to make up for the gap. If this continues, the grain gap will get bigger and bigger.

But it is not easy to expand food production in the Sunken Land. What should we do?

I can't think about it, my soul hurts when I think about it.

The housekeeper suddenly came back and said with a strange expression: "Uh, sir, someone is here to visit."

This housekeeper is a descendant of the first farmer that Clint took in. He and his ancestors have always been Clint's housekeepers. They have seen all kinds of weird undead creatures. Why do people look like this when they visit?

Clint asked curiously: "Who is it?"

"A goblin."

Goblins? Of course there are goblins in the Sunken Land. Those creatures who believe in money and engineering can be found wherever there is the smell of gold coins.

But here in Relay Tower No. 3, there is absolutely no smell of gold coins. Kleinte is as poor as a ghost. Except for some soul crystals accumulated over time, he can’t get anything valuable. Therefore, in the past six hundred years, no one has

Goblins came to visit him.

Of course, they may not be able to get through. The goblins are mainly concentrated in the human holy wall city.

Clint met the visiting goblin with strong curiosity, and the goblin had a warm smile on his face: "I am taking the liberty to visit you. I heard that you need salt? The Silver Chamber of Commerce is here to serve you sincerely, but the human holy wall city has been breached.

, Hard currencies such as soul crystals and magic crystals are not easy to use, I wonder if the people in the pavilion are willing to change to a payment method?"

After hearing Yin Coin's words, Clint was completely stunned: "Is there such a good thing?"

"Of course, the salt is here. As long as you tell me a feasible method, these all belong to you, because we came to the door after hearing your conversation in the communication domino. My boss hopes to own a domino like you."

Private land can be used to grow things." Yin Coin said sincerely and honestly.

As a goblin businessman, Silver Coin had long understood the ability to speak Necromantic to the dead and Aoao to Ange. As soon as he saw Clint, he knew how to deal with such a loyal and honest man.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll snatch it from you?" Clint was shocked when he saw Silver Coin laying out a bag of salt generously. This goblin didn't look very strong. Why was he so careless and not defensive at all?

?

Yin Coin smiled: "Of course I'm not afraid. Unless you only need this bag of salt and don't need it anymore, you won't cut off the supply. And..."

When he said 'and', Yin Coin closed his eyes and said loudly: "Boss, this guy said he wanted to steal our salt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Clint instantly felt that the aura of the goblin in front of him had changed, and a very terrifying aura fell on him. The next moment, Yin Coin opened his eyes, and the gaze in his eyes seemed to solidify Clint's soul.

generally.

I don’t know how long it took, but Klein felt someone shaking his palm in front of his eyes, shaking it, and slapped him on the face. After a few slaps, he finally came to his senses and asked blankly:

"Why did you hit me?"

Yin Coin said apologetically: "Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry. My boss used too much force and hurt you. I'm extremely sorry. This soul crystal is used as compensation. Please don't be offended."

As he spoke, he held Clint's hand and stuffed a soul crystal into his palm.

Clint pinched the soul crystal and slowly came back to his senses. He remembered what happened just now. It seemed that the goblin called his boss, and then glared at himself...

Kleinte was shocked, and the soul crystal in his hand seemed to be hot, and he quickly gave in. Oh my God, the projection came over, and he was confused at a glance. What level of existence is this?

Is it possible to get money from such a thing? At the risk of life? Clint was so frightened. No wonder this goblin casually revealed a bag of salt worth more than gold. How dare he have such a tough backend?

Kleinte wanted to cry, why would he say such a mean thing? God, I hope that kind of powerful existence wouldn't take it to heart. He didn't have any bad intentions at all, he just wanted to remind this goblin.

The tearless expression on his face was seen in Yin Coin's eyes, and Yin Coin quickly comforted him: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, my boss won't be offended. Take it and make up for it. If you don't take it, you will look down on me."

With that said, he forced the soul crystal into Kleinte's palm.

Soul crystal is not only a currency, but also a condensation of soul energy. When absorbed, it can heal the wounds of the soul, which is perfect for Kleinte who was "glared".

If he doesn't hold it, he may have to use his own soul crystal to treat it later, and the loss will be in his mind for a long time, which is not conducive to future relationships.

But the compensation cannot compensate for the things he needs most, such as salt, because salt still needs to be used as a bargaining chip in the next stage of the transaction. If you compensate him now, the rigid demand will be reduced.

Therefore, there are actually many ways to be a businessman.



A few hours later, Yin Coin left the relay tower, turned over and rode on a bone horse, and ran away. More than ten kilometers away, Yin Coin rode the bone horse into a ditch.

There are already a bunch of things squatting in the ditch at this moment, including dragons, skeletons, zombies, angels and unicorns.

When Nigris saw the silver coins coming back, he immediately asked: "How is it?"

"Done, Relay Tower No. 4 is ours now. It has been reported and is waiting for the handover. It is the guy who scolded Mr. Ange. He can't wait to leave the relay tower and is urging us to hand over.

Here." Yin Coin said excitedly.

Nigris was a little dubious: "Is it that simple?"

Silver Coin nodded: "Finding the right direction is as simple as that. We don't know anything about the situation, so we find it difficult. But according to Clint, it's not difficult at all, because few people can stay at the relay station.

They all change every few decades, and now there happens to be a guy who doesn’t want to work anymore, so just report it.”

Nigris couldn't help but asked curiously: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​starting from Relay Tower No. 3?"

Yin Coin asked in confusion: "Isn't this a basic operation? He has needs. Starting from the needs, it becomes what he wants from me. If he doesn't have any needs, we can also create needs for him."

"That makes sense. Let's go and hand over the situation and see who the guy who is cursing is."



In the wilderness, two skeletal horses were dragging a carriage at high speed. It suddenly stopped and an undead floated out. After checking the direction, he got back on the carriage and said, "We will be at transfer station No. 4 soon."

There was a fire pot burning in the carriage, and the flames on the pot formed the face of a demon. If Ange were here, he would definitely recognize the demon who launched the insect plague in the Principality of Montenegro - the Lord of Terror.

"It just so happens that our terrifying ghost has just taken shape and needs a powerful soul to parasitize it. There is nothing more suitable than the relay spirit on the relay tower. While the relay tower is being handed over, we went over and grabbed it.

The relay spirit, even the great sage, cannot find out who stole the relay spirit." The Lord of Terror said.

The undead hesitated a little and said: "Are you sure? All relay spirits are connected together. They are essentially a kind of soul and belong to Harvey's people. If we move the relay spirits, Harvey won't be able to find it?

Once its thoughts are projected over me, I will die miserably."

The Lord of Terror said: "So we have to take advantage of his handover. The relay spirit will be dormant for a short period of time during the handover. No one can control it during that time."

"Really? Why do you, a demon, know these things better than me, the undead?" the undead asked dubiously.

"As long as you are willing to exchange your soul, I will tell you." The devil said in a very seductive voice.

The undead smiled sadly a few times.

The carriage got back on the road and headed for Relay Tower No. 4.

In the other direction, Luther and Shamara looked at each other in confusion, looking at Lightning carrying five things in front of him. Even the big cat was lying on Lightning's head, holding a horn.

The direction they are heading towards is also Relay Tower No. 4. At this speed, they and the Lord of Terror are likely to meet under the tower.
