Five hundred and thirtieth chapters, the cognitive gap
Resurrecting the dead is different from activating the remnant soul in the corpse. It has never been easy.
Of course, Lovett didn't lie in this regard.
But...he is rich!
Money can make the world go round.
The soul network is not only an energy reserve, but the souls stored in it are also the actual hard currency of the underworld.
If low-level undead want to become stronger, they must rely on external supplements. There are two legal ways. One is to fight and plunder the remaining souls of the same kind.
Fighting is the purpose of the undead, and it is also the best opportunity to become stronger. No matter which world, the Lords of the Underworld will not stop low-level undead from eating the weak and the strong, and they will only protect rare and mutant species.
Second, collect the mage's reward and provide soul energy.
Compared with the mixed remnant souls in the same kind of body, the high concentration of compressed soul energy that the mage can provide is not at the same level in terms of cost performance.
In this world, the Emperor's "Eighteen Chapters on Recruitment" protects the interests of the undead after fulfilling the contract. Which mage who is tired of living dares not to pay wages to the undead?
Having said that it is legal, of course there are also illegal ones.
The same two lines.
1. Devouring the souls of ordinary people who entered the underworld and maliciously infringing on the emperor's property.
Hmmmm, except for the newbies who are born with incomplete thinking ability and even have a violent temper, no sane undead creature dares to do this so far.
Necromancers are very good at torturing people, let alone the emperor.
That's really not a question of whether you're afraid or not.
Then……
Second, take on private work.
This is how Kozuki Oden was found by Lovett. The last feat of 1,800 Dragon Breath Cannons was still fresh in the memory of the undead in the underworld.
This is a really rich guy!
In addition, it is a common phenomenon for mages to want to resurrect someone when they have nothing.
With a single order, more than 100,000 undead souls went out and ran to find the target he wanted.
Finally, in the undeveloped area where the Emperor came from swallowing Huangquan, the undead found their target and brought him back.
However, the procedure was normal and the emperor was given a handling fee.
Unlike the former, taking on private work is not protected by the law, but it is also not sanctioned by the law.
But if you really dare to take people away without telling him...
In short, with just a few words, Kozuki Oden fell into Lovett's hands.
"Francis has taken away the Straw Hats. Unless Im personally goes off, there will be no problem in a short time."
Continuing to slurp the noodles, Lovett thought calmly.
"In addition, Kozuki Oden is in my hands. Do I have enough chips to force you to end this time, Im!"
…
Flower City, Flower Street.
Boom, boom, boom!
The kimono restricted Xiao Zi from moving her legs, and she trotted down the corridor. The geishas and male servants on the road saluted and moved out of the way.
"Master Xiaozi."
"Did something happen?"
An acquaintance of the geisha said curiously.
Xiao Zi suddenly woke up at this, the joy in the corner of her mouth disappeared in an instant, and she calmly turned around: "No, it's nothing. Lord Kuangshilang asked me to come over."
"There are a lot of big shots here tonight, be careful not to make any mistakes."
"Yes, we understand."
After saying that, he watched Xiao Zi leave with a drunken look on his face.
"Ah, Master Xiao Zi, you are so beautiful!"
"Don't be poor. Master Xiao Zi is right. The New Year celebration is coming soon, so we need to entertain those big shots."
"Yeah, that's true."
All the way to the room where Kuangshi Lang was, Xiao Zi slowed down, knelt down by the sliding door, and took a deep breath.
"Lord Crazy Death Lang, are you looking for me?"
After a while, the answer came from the door: "Yes, come in."
"yes!"
He opened the sliding door and entered the room, then knelt down and closed the door again. The whole process was so smooth that when people saw it, they could only admire him. He was worthy of being an oiran from the country of Wano. This etiquette was flawless!
Seeing Xiao Zi come in, Kuang Shilang didn't speak in a hurry.
He took a sip from the wine glass and made sure that no breathing could be heard around him. Then he frowned and said, "Did he agree?"
"Yes."
Xiao Zi replied: "And he told me that there is no need to exchange life for life, only blood and bones are enough."
"Blood and bones? So simple?"
Kuangshilang was a little in disbelief.
To resurrect the dead, such an act of changing one's fate against nature, only requires blood and bones?
But what followed immediately was ecstasy.
"Yoshi, that's great!"
His eyes shone brightly: "The Black Earl will definitely not know who your father is. Even if the situation is found to be wrong afterwards, as long as that adult is resurrected, everything will be a foregone conclusion."
Although that adult said that if he really took action, he might not be a match for Whitebeard and Roger, but Kaido was not included!
Although the country of Wano is quite suppressed now, they actually have a complete inheritance of swordsmanship. This kind of three-dimensional and detailed training model is extremely rare in the entire Grand Line.
And the power of "Flowing Sakura" is not a secret in this land. There are many people who have studied the skills and developed them to advanced levels and left inheritance. Back then, the uninformed people from the World Government tried to launch an attack, and then were beaten.
Very miserable.
Tell them that there are not only geishas in Wano, but also samurai!
If you underestimate them, you will suffer big losses.
And Kozuki Oden is the strongest one who surpasses all samurai!
He has been gifted since he was a child. He threw the nanny out hard when he was 0 years old. He was able to catch two rabbits at the same time to show his amazing foot strength when he was 2 years old. He threw a huge stone to kill a giant bear when he was 4 years old. He started going to Huajie and Liuxiang when he was 6 years old. He drank alcohol when he was 8 years old.
Fight with gamblers.
The original Oden Two Sword Style even directly defeated Kaido, if not...
"No, it's not enough."
Kuangshilang forced himself to calm down and said to himself: "That Lord alone may not be the opponent of those two people together, and even if he is resurrected, there is no guarantee of how much strength that Lord can maintain."
Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Zi: "Ri...Xiao Zi."
"Tell me the details."
Xiao Zi smiled sweetly and shook her head indifferently: "Yes."
Then she laid out everything that happened tonight and her own opinions. The strangeness of the Black Earl's methods once again refreshed Kuangshilang's understanding.
Such a terrible guy cannot be a friend, nor can he be an enemy.
Kaido's threat is a real threat, but the other party holds the power of life and death!
"Sure enough... can we only take out that thing?"
Kuangshilang was a little hesitant.
To them, that thing was of little significance, but to the pirates, it was a treasure worth sacrificing everything to seize!
From ancient times to the present, only one pirate has successfully seen it.
Later, that pirate became the Pirate King.
In order for Kozuki Oden to face the unfavorable situation of 1 vs. 2 once he is resurrected, the only way is to persuade one of the opponents to stop, and that person obviously cannot be Kaido.
Thinking of this, Kuangshilang asked: "He said he never said when he would take action?"
"No, that's not the case. You just want me to come back and prepare the money."
Xiao Zi thought for a while and replied: "But it can be seen from his tone that he probably won't take action before the New Year celebration is over."
Both sides can be considered half allies after all.
Making things happen at this time would be too disrespectful to Kaido.
"Yeah, that's true."
Kuangshilang nodded in agreement.
Neither of them thought that the Black Earl would take action during the New Year celebration. After all, he and Kaido are allies, but what is the actual situation?
With Kaido's order, the new world, the Springhall Sea, was the former territory of the red-haired pirate.
Jack's eyes flashed fiercely as he looked at the brightly lit island ahead.
"That's the territory that Auroville occupied yesterday?"
"Yes, Master Jack."
Sipshead, one of the first artificial Devil Fruit users under Jack, took out his scimitar, his eyes were fierce and bloodthirsty, and he was eager to try: "Originally, everyone agreed not to attack each other in this nearby area, and each occupied a part of the territory."
"But they took action yesterday. Now the Black Earl's evil eye has been inserted into the island. It seems that there is no quibble at all."
Hearing this, Jack sneered and said: "Hmph, do you really think that we are afraid because our family is so powerful?"
"Even without Lord Kaido's order, I will not let you go!"
After saying that, he raised his hands.
"Be prepared, fire immediately when you get close!"
As an ally, the other party will definitely issue a warning as soon as possible instead of taking action.
Give them enough time to get closer.
First, clear the ground with a wave of artillery to reduce the number of undead as much as possible, and then...
It’s the army pressing down on the territory!

Wait a minute for the second update, I have an extra class today.
In addition, I will go out for a few days next weekend. I have reached my age. When I get busy, typing is like squeezing a sponge.
