There are a lot of things that need to be prepared to go to Qindao. Hilo is going to go to Qindao himself and take a look around.
In addition to establishing an outpost, he also needs to lead people to explore the entire Qindao to find a suitable place to build a larger city.
In the future, Qindao will become the center of the entire Gulf Stream island chain. Starting from Qindao, Hilo's power will radiate to other islands bit by bit.
In addition, Hilo has other plans, such as looking for traces of dwarves on Qindao.
After the battle in the dwarf underground city, Shiloh discovered that the dwarves seemed to have established a great country on the Gulfstream Island Chain, but they had a war with the mysterious creatures on the Gulfstream Island Chain. Maybe this involved the entire
The battle for the survival of the race.
It was precisely because of this ancient great change that the dwarves who originally traveled on the mainland disappeared one after another... They may have returned to the dwarf kingdom on the Gulf Stream Island Chain to accompany their country to face this disaster.
When he arrives at Qindao, Shiloh may be able to find the remains of the dwarves, learn the secrets of that ancient time, and even directly meet the surviving dwarves.
Although dwarves are recognized as one of the most difficult races to get along with, compared to their shortcomings of being greedy and stubborn, when anyone mentions dwarves, the first thing that comes to mind must be their superb forging technology.
So far, the weapons and equipment made by the dwarves are still the most precious weapons on the continent, with high prices but no market.
Shiloh has been coveting the craftsmanship of dwarves for a long time. If his blacksmiths can possess the skills of dwarves, then in the future, not to mention weapon upgrades, even guns and cannons can be researched bit by bit.
Once the thermal weapon is used, Shiloh's strength will expand rapidly. At that time, no matter who he faces, he will not be afraid at all.
Therefore, finding dwarves on Qindao has become extremely important.
He had to be personally involved with Shiloh before he could rest assured.
As for the newly acquired mysterious stone slab, after Hilo opened it, he also found a scroll of animal skin inside. However, after unfolding it this time, Hilo suddenly discovered that the pattern on it actually depicted another race.
, a completely different race from the dwarves.
The first picture: Many naked men and women were expelled on the shoal. If you look carefully, you can find that their lower bodies are actually fish tails, and in the depths of the sea, there is a pair of blood-red eyes staring at them.
The second picture: a tall giant fell from the sky, fell into the deep sea, and started a battle with the monster with blood-red eyes. The sea set off huge waves, covering the sky and the sun, while these mermaids were hiding in the shallow sea, pious
praying for the giant.
The third picture: The giant gave a golden trident to the leader of the fishmen, teaching the fishmen knowledge and spells to help them activate the power of blood in their bodies. Behind the giant, those blood-red eyes were deeply
He dived deep into the ocean floor and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
The fourth pattern: The mermaids established a prosperous kingdom in the sea, while the giants rose into the sky and disappeared as before.
The last pattern: I don’t know how many years later, those blood-red eyes reappeared. Darkness swept the mermaid kingdom. The giant never appeared again. Only the shining light of the trident still guarded the mermaid kingdom.
Shiloh read these carefully and suddenly realized that the stories of the two races recorded above were similar. They got help from giants when they were ignorant, defeated various creatures in the dark, and then had their own civilization. After that,
, the giant disappears, and when darkness strikes again, you can only rely on your own strength to fight against this powerful evil force.
Shiloh turned over the animal skin scroll, and sure enough he found that there was also a map drawn on the back of the animal skin scroll, with a city marked on it, and "Tirantes" was written in human language.
Are these the city coordinates of the Mermaid Kingdom?
Shiloh licked his lips and couldn't help but think of the silver fish tail he had glimpsed when he encountered the son of the sea monster Kraken.
Sure enough, it was the mermaid who saved him in the first place!
Because of this incident, Hilo had a very good impression of the mermaids, and secretly thought that he must go to the bottom of the sea if he has the opportunity in the future to see how glorious the mermaid's underwater city is.
However, Hilo naturally does not have this strength now. If he wants to dive into the bottom of the sea, it is estimated that it will be difficult even to achieve extraordinary feats. The living spaces of the two races of mermaids and humans are so different, so the communication between the two parties will at most appear in the stories sung by bards.
In it.
Maybe some rituals can be used to attract the fish to the surface, and then the two parties can have some wonderful exchanges.
Shiloh thought with some wickedness, and after a while, he put the animal skin scroll away and put it in his bookcase.
Since she decided not to keep things in the closet, Shiloh asked a craftsman to make a cabinet for herself and store the things she felt were important. Claire would not open the cabinet without permission, which was safer.
As soon as Shiloh put the animal skin scroll away, he saw that the plague seed also placed inside was glowing slightly, flickering, as if it was breathing. When Shiloh was curious, he
He took the Plague Seed in his hand and wanted to check what happened through the system.
[Ding... The world's rare object Plague Seed has been detected, and the binding has been released. The host can choose to sell the Plague Seed in exchange for energy points or bind it himself]
Shiloh was stunned. He still remembered that when he first got this plague seed, no matter how he tested it, the system would not display any prompts. Unexpectedly, just asking now, it suddenly jumped up.
Two options appear.
How come this thing can suddenly be sold or bound?
Shiloh grabbed the plague seed and looked at it carefully, wanting to study what changes had occurred, but found that the plague seed was the same as before, with a yellow gem on the outside and a group of particles flying in a spiral inside.
Still, there is no change.
Could it be because I solved another sacrificial body? It's really strange.
After thinking about it, Shiloh could only think that he might have destroyed a sacrificial body, and this plague seed was previously bound to the sacrificial body, so there would be no prompts when he held it in his hand.
Now that the sacrificial body has been eliminated, the plague seed will naturally return to an ownerless state, so those two options appear.
Shiloh thought for a while and asked: "How many energy points can you get from selling plague seeds?"
[Selling plague seeds will get 5,000 energy points]
Why are there so few? How dare you claim to be a rare thing in the world when you have so few? It really makes people laugh when you tell them.
Shiloh rolled his eyes, and then asked habitually: "Then how many energy points will it cost if I buy it again? It's also 5,000?"
[This item is a rare item in the world and is unique. It costs 200,000 energy points to purchase]
puff!
Shiloh almost choked on his own saliva. Plague Seed actually required 200,000 energy points to purchase, which was far beyond his imagination.
Until now, Hilo has not collected 50,000 energy points.
"Ahem, cough, cough...you only gave me a recycling fee of 5,000 for something worth 200,000. You must be too evil!"
"100,000 energy points, do it or not, the recovery fee is 100,000, and I will sell you the Plague Seed." Shiloh held the Plague Seed tightly with one hand, and at the same time bargained with the system in his mind, but the system
Completely uncommunicative, with an attitude of asking for a 5,000 recycling fee, selling if you like, or get out if not.
Shiloh found that the system didn't take the bait, so he couldn't help but lose interest, and asked again: "What will happen if I bind the plague seed?"
[If the host is bound to the plague seed, it will automatically gain knowledge of the disease system, and the magic it practices will only be able to drive disease magic, and it will also gain the ability to spread various diseases such as plague]
Damn it, is it so strong?
Shiloh stared at the plague seed in his hand with hot eyes, wishing to bind it immediately, but his reason still made him a little more cautious, and asked again: "It won't have any impact on me after binding, such as changing
Are you becoming ugly and getting older, or are you becoming a loser, starting to become a lolita or something like that?”
[Plague seeds can only give power to the host. As for the host’s personality and XP level of abnormality, it will be decided by yourself]
After receiving the system's answer, Shiloh finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the binding method. It turned out to be the simplest method of dripping the blood condensed with magic power onto the plague seed, and the operation was completed immediately.
As the blood that gathered magic power blended into the plague seeds, Shiloh felt that his perception of the surrounding magical elements became clearer. At the same time, he could also feel that several methods on how to spread the disease immediately poured into his brain.
In terms of disease magic, the more powerful the disease, the more magic power it consumes. Now Shiloh is not sure what kind of disease he can release.
Do we still need to learn to master the released diseases? Do we need to be infected with the disease first?
While thinking this, Shiloh suddenly saw his character status bar automatically opened, and an entry was added behind his profession, which was the disease mage (unique).
There was also a second page in his character bar. When he clicked on it, he found that it was a series of disease skills.
[Disease spell skill branch]
[Airborne diseases: pandemic influenza, tuberculosis, SARS, dark plague...]
[Note 1: After the disease spreads, it will be affected by the host's own magic power. The stronger the host, the stronger the disease, and the shorter the onset time. The current maximum number of infected people is 2,000 (the number will increase as the host's strength increases)
】
[Note 2: The host can expel the disease infected by a certain unit through plague seeds. After expulsion, the unit can no longer be infected with the disease]
[Please host choose your own starting disease ability]
Seeing these horrific diseases, Shiloh couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This disease mage is indeed a unique profession. As long as it is promoted to the later stage, it can completely destroy a country.
He looked at it and found that he now seemed to be able to choose a disease ability, so he immediately clicked on Dark Plague. Unexpectedly, the system prompted him to learn the prerequisite diseases first. After thinking for a while, Shiloh solemnly clicked the button.
The disease influenza.
Pandemic influenza was chosen because it can spread through the air and does not require special contact, and the influenza virus is not much less frightening than those notorious diseases.
The Spanish Flu pandemic in the past caused 25 to 40 million deaths. If there were no specific drugs, a flu pandemic alone would be enough to destroy a country.
The ability of the disease mage is definitely a late-stage ability worth cultivating!
After clicking on the skills, Shiloh licked his lips and tried to feel how to use the disease skills. However, he found that when he mobilized the magic power in his body, people around him had an option to infect or not, which was scary.
Deshiro hurriedly retreated from this state.
As long as he clicks OK, a pandemic will spread in Stormwind City.
This ability is definitely the strongest auxiliary ability in war!
Shiloh was deeply shocked by the ability of the disease mage. It took him a long time to finally come to his senses. Now, he has unknowingly become the most powerful humanoid buff machine. Not only can he provide system soldiers with
The terrifying offensive and defensive bonus can also greatly weaken the opponent and provide unparalleled auxiliary effects.
This ability, just like the system, must not be exposed, otherwise it may be regarded as the incarnation of the plague and become the public enemy of mankind.
And the Plague Seed, at this moment, completely became the sacred object connected by Hilo's bloodline. Hilo felt that if he wanted to improve the ability of the disease system, he must feed this Plague Seed with his life, that is to say, die from the disease.
The more people there are under him, the stronger the Plague Seed will be, and the stronger his power will be.
This is simply a treasure that challenges human nature.
Shiloh thought for a while and immediately decided that this ability could only be used on the battlefield and could never be used against civilians. This was his bottom line as a human being.
After acquiring the disease-related ability, Shiloh was excited for several days. When he gradually calmed down, it was already three days later.
Three days is neither short nor long, and the mage tower has been built in these few days.
This was the first time that Xiluo saw the speed of construction by system builders. With the help of a few heavenly workers, the mage tower was built as quickly as building blocks. What shocked Shiloh the most was that this mage tower was strong.
It is simply beyond the scope of people's cognition. It has to be said that there is a huge difference in quality between the things produced by the system and the things that are usually built by oneself.
The entire mage tower covers an area of about one hundred square meters. Based on the teleportation magic circle, it is divided into four floors. One floor is underground and the other three floors are above the ground. It is about 20 meters high and takes the shape of a bamboo shoot.
.
Outside the mage tower, there were actually three floating stone rings. I had no idea how they were made. Without any support, they were slowly rotating around the mage tower. Hilo felt the magic power and realized that this mage tower was
It itself affects the accumulation and operation of magic elements, allowing these stone rings to float in mid-air without support.
The entrance to the mage tower is built four or five meters above the ground. There is a wide stone staircase for people to enter the mage tower. The one near the ground and underground are divided into one layer, which is mainly used to study the teleportation magic circle, and the one above
The third floor is divided into various rooms, which are filled with various experimental equipment, spell books and potion materials, which should be provided by the system.
When Shiloh brought Thor and other mages to the mage tower, they couldn't help but marvel, the perfection of this mage tower far exceeded their imagination.
"Your Highness, with this mage tower, it will be of great benefit whether it is practice or research on the teleportation magic array!"
Seeing these mages' applications as if they had picked up a treasure, Shiloh nodded and said, "I'll leave all the magic stuff to you in the future."
Thor and others immediately responded and moved to the mage tower that day.
After settling this matter, Hiloyu spent two days arranging the reconstruction and maintenance of Stormwind City. He also went to inspect the surrounding developed islands, and then began to concentrate on recuperating and preparing to go to Qindao.
About another week later, when Hilo was finally ready, Rowan ran over with a happy face and told Hilo that a special guest came to Hope Island.
In the past few days, Shiloh had been preoccupied with the idea of establishing an outpost on Qindao. He could not guess who would come to Hope Island at this juncture, so he ordered Rowan to bring the visitors. He also took this opportunity to change
He bought a set of clothes, put on the airs of a lord, and waited for this guest to visit.
Could it be someone sent by eldest brother? No, that person should have already served in the Western Military Region. Who could it be, the envoy of the Cavendish family?
While Shiloh was thinking about it, he saw a beautiful figure walking into the executive hall manor.
This man was accompanied by a few businessman-looking people, and he walked straight towards the main hall. His wheat-colored skin reflected a healthy light, his long golden hair almost shimmered, and his delicate and beautiful face had a slight hint of light.
Applying pink and white, a pair of eyes are as disturbing as the spring water in February.
She walked in with a smile, and was stunned for a while when she saw Shiloh. When Shiloh coughed, she suddenly reacted. She gently bent her waist with a tight grasp, saluted to Shiloh and said, "Your Highness Shiloh, please wait for a while."
Missing. Brianna, on behalf of the Hanna Chamber of Commerce, would like to offer the highest respect to His Highness Shiloh." As he said that, he turned around and winked at the merchants behind him. These merchants immediately took out their account books and spoke respectfully.
Handed it over.
Hilo never expected that it would be Briana who came to the Gulf Stream Island Chain. The president of the Chamber of Commerce who was scolded by him and finally signed an unequal treaty finally crossed the sea again from the Eastern Continent and came to Hope
island.
Shiloh immediately stood up and greeted everyone to take their seats. He casually placed the account book on the table next to him without looking through it. Instead, he smiled and chatted with everyone in the Hannah Chamber of Commerce.
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Brianna is still as beautiful as before, but her temperament has become more capable. Her words and deeds make Shiloh feel more like the president of the Chamber of Commerce, so she chats with Brianna more.
It turned out that since returning to the Eastern Continent, the ore carried by the White Oull Queen was immediately sold out, and Brianna also made a lot of profits from this trade. Even though according to the contract, she had to hand over a large portion to Hilo, she got
The profit is also several times that of the original trade.
After receiving such a windfall, the Hannah Chamber of Commerce immediately ushered in a rapid development. Now the Hannah Chamber of Commerce is no longer a lone ship, but has become a small fleet with 4 merchant ships, which is already quite powerful.
This time, Briana hopes to continue to fulfill the contract and transport the ore from Hope Island to the East and West continents for trade.
Naturally, Shiloh would not refuse this proposal. It would be the best thing for the Hannah Chamber of Commerce to work for Hope Island. He immediately manned the ship and sent the merchant ships of the Hannah Chamber of Commerce to carry ore to the Forbidden Island in the past few days.
Briana is worthy of being the president of a chamber of commerce. When he came this time, he spent his own money to bring 600 slaves and a large number of livestock to Hilo, as well as the world-famous gunpowder from the Eastern Continent.
"Your Highness, these things are the wishes of the Hannah Chamber of Commerce. Please accept them."
Faced with Brianna's kindness, Shiloh naturally accepted it all with a smile. What he lacked most now was population. It was naturally a good thing to have Hannah Chamber of Commerce to help him replenish human resources.
The two chatted, and Shiloh ordered Brianna to go and rest first. Brianna immediately stepped back respectfully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after she and her men came to the room.
"Huh... President, didn't you say that the ruler of the Gulf Stream Island Chain is just a cruel fat man? I just observed the expression and posture of His Highness Hilo, and I feel that he looks like a superior person, and it is not easy to deal with at all."
Brianna frowned slightly and glared at the businessman who was speaking. The businessman immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"His Royal Highness Shiloh... is definitely a person who cannot be underestimated. When I left, Stormwind City was not as big as it is now. In just half a year, it has now developed to such a prosperous level. Even the proud son of the Free Federation
We probably can’t do this well either.”
"In short, you all remember, never offend His Highness Shiloh. The revival of Hanna Chamber of Commerce lies in the hands of His Highness Shiloh. Only by embracing this thigh can we rise again."
The surrounding merchants nodded, and then started chatting, mostly about the changes in Stormwind City and Hilo.
Brianna, on the other hand, recalled the first time she and Shiloh met.
When they met for the first time, Briana heard that Hilo was a lustful fat man, so she wanted to use her beauty as a lure to use Hilo to repair their ship. However, she didn't expect that Hilo got scolded by her and then locked up.
I went to the small black room and witnessed with my own eyes the scene where Hilo burned a ship of pirates to death.
The next day, she was forced to sign an extremely humiliating treaty.
Although it was a form of people having to bow their heads under the roof at that time, with Briana's strong character, she would not be willing to be used by Hilo like this, so she always wanted to escape from Hilo's control.
However, the later appearance of concentrated iron ore made Brenner change his mind and decided to temporarily cooperate with Shiloh.
As long as there is profit to be made, a businessman does not need to care who the partner is, even if he is a cruel, shameless, and obscene fat man.
Sure enough, two consecutive transactions allowed the Hannah Chamber of Commerce to earn a large amount of profits. The Chamber of Commerce also escaped from the precarious situation of stepping on the edge of the cliff and began to grow and develop again.
