After Zhou Qingfeng left the jackal den, the expelled jackals attacked several times, trying to drive away the intruders who had occupied their territory. However, they returned in vain every time, and the damage became more and more serious until it was unsustainable.
When Zhou Qingfeng led the team back, there were several spiked wooden pillars erected on the hillside outside the jackal's lair, and several killed jackals were worn on them to show their power. This is the custom of the orcs, specifically used to intimidate and ridicule.
opponent.
Most of the garbage accumulated in the nest has been cleared away, most of which is feces and food residues. These items are piled up and burned to ashes to prevent them from attracting diseases.
The vegetation around the nest has also been cut down, firstly to dry it and be used as fuel, and secondly to clear blind spots in the field of vision to avoid sneak attacks. These are ideas that jackals do not have, which greatly improves the environment outside the nest.
It was already dark when Zhou Qingfeng arrived. Todd and others were grilling meat, and a ferocious sloth bear became their dinner. Old Berg was busy processing the newly collected medicinal materials. There were few people near the lair, and the plague priests gained a lot.
"You seem to be having a good time these days." Zhou Qingfeng glanced at it and saw that all the garrison personnel were still there, with no casualties and in high spirits.
Todd saw the supplies brought by 'Swift Shadow' and opened his greasy hands to ask for salt. He smiled cheerfully and said: "Those jackals were killed by us and fled everywhere. They are no match for us now."
The fighting power of the gnolls is no worse than that of the orcs, but the equipment on Todd's side is too good now. Coupled with the support of old Borg and other priests, it will be a one-sided massacre.
Necromancer Mondino walked into the Jackal's Lair and was surprised that such an open-air camp turned out to be the ruins of elves in the early years. He asked Zhou Qingfeng: "Your Excellency, how do you plan to run this place?"
"Build roads and build houses." Zhou Qingfeng replied: "Old Borg said there are many rare resources nearby, and they can be sent to Cold Wind City to sell money in exchange for supplies. Even if they are not sent to Cold Wind City, I can
You can make more money by using succubus to resell it."
The Necromancer smiled bitterly and said: "Back then, the elves in Silver Leaf City prohibited humans from entering the Black Forest. If the plane barrier had not been broken by the demon, we would have had no chance of entering this forbidden elven land."
Zhou Qingfeng's heart moved and he asked: "What happened to the demon invasion fifty years ago?"
The Necromancer shook his head, "There were so many secrets in that war. The strong men in the main material world also prayed to the gods, hoping to get guidance, but we got nothing.
The gods are very secretive about this and will not reveal any information at all. As long as we defeat the demons, it will be fine. In order to survive, the entire Northland had to try its best. The battle was miserable, and many countries and civilizations were destroyed. Silver Leaf City was one of them.
one."
"It seems there is a big secret hidden in this." Zhou Qingfeng hummed a few times.
The Necromancer turned his gaze to the woods and whispered: "The further you enter the forest, the more restless the dead souls become."
"What are dead souls?"
"It is the souls that have died without a home. Human beings, spirits, and all kinds of intelligent creatures. The Black Forest was the main battlefield of the demonic invasion back then, and the number of people who died that year was counted in the millions.
There are not many souls who can convert to the gods. The world is still dominated by unbelievers and pan-believers. The souls of the dead are wandering around. Theoretically, they will slowly dissipate, but the negative energy of the black forest is very strong, which makes these dead souls accumulate more and more.
more."
"Are they useful?"
"Dead souls have no consciousness, are chaotic and ignorant. Wizards or priests can summon ghosts from them, and after training, they can serve as invisible servants. However, the ghosts must be strengthened first, otherwise they will not be able to be used at all.
However, the abilities of the hidden servants are not strong, and their intelligence is limited. Generally, wizards will have a few hidden servants to serve tea and water, and that's it."
"It's good to serve tea and water." Zhou Qingfeng felt that his tavern was short of people. After all, there were too few female waitresses willing to come to the Black Forest, and there was no point in using male waiters. Get a few.
Wouldn't it be more interesting if the invisible servant came?
This is the only one who thinks about using the undead as a coolie all day long.
'Soul Capturer' felt that this matter was not worth mentioning at all, so he thought about giving Zhou Qingfeng a few gifts. But then he thought about it, young people's ideas are always different, and this might be able to make some business.
"How many do you want?"
Zhou Qingfeng pondered for a long time and asked: "It depends on what kind of work they can do? The concept of serving tea and pouring water is too broad. How many instructions can they understand?"
Mondino sent a hundred skeletons and ghosts to Zhou Qingfeng, but now the latter has high standards, and ordinary goods cannot meet his requirements.
"Hidden servants can understand simple commands, just like ignorant untouchables. Their disadvantage is that they have very little power, and they can really only serve tea. Even pushing a chair requires several people to do it at the same time, otherwise it will not be able to push it.
.
Their intelligence is very limited, and their range of activities is also very small. They are difficult to control if they are fifty yards away from their masters, and they can only repeat the simple tasks last given by their masters."
"It really doesn't sound of much use." Zhou Qingfeng shut up at the right time. He knew that Mondino would definitely talk about the 'Soul Crystal' again. He is now at level 3, and while enjoying a series of benefits, the file loading fee has increased by 800 per time.
Point coupons. And he only had more than 20,000 points coupons left.
The financial crisis has arrived and there is no way to spend extravagantly.
There is a joke about why China has to work so hard to develop its own complete industrial system? External blockade is one aspect, and the lack of money in the pocket to import is also another aspect - they were all forced.
Zhou Qingfeng was also under a lot of pressure and very poor. It was better to handle everything by himself, and save whatever he could. He scratched his head and went to Xili to ask about this mysterious elf.
Knowing that Zhou Qingfeng actually used his brains on the undead, Xili couldn't help but said with disdain: "Evil and ignorant master, you are not a necromancer, why would you want to use an undead creature like a hidden servant?
Hidden servants are difficult to control when separated from their masters, and their perception ability is also very poor. They can only react to things about ten meters around. Beyond this distance, they are as good as deaf and blind."
"If the price-performance ratio is right, I don't mind controlling a group of hidden servants." Zhou Qingfeng's first pot of gold was earned from skeleton labor, and he wanted to develop the different abilities of undead creatures.
"If you want to have powerful undead creatures, going to the Elf Ruins is really the best choice."
"Where can powerful undead creatures be summoned?"
"No, powerful undead creatures are cultivated. Even weak ghosts and skeletons can become extremely powerful through continuous strengthening.
There are two ways to cultivate, one is necromancy arcana, and the other is alchemy. I guess you don’t like to be a necromancer, so there is really a strange item in the ruins of Silverleaf City that can satisfy you.
