However, it was such a bad land, the naive little count really planned to manage and manage it, and the first thing he had to deal with was the bandits and wild beasts on the road, and he needed a group of elite adventurers for his use.

And such a rotten place, as an old saying goes, "a rotten ship has three catties of iron". In those ruins, abandoned camps, residential areas and even slums, there are hidden family treasures, successors and adventurers who came to try their luck relics of the deceased.

If these things can really be rediscovered, it is obviously a good profit. This can be seen from the fact that the little earl actually got a whole 1000 gold coins as recruitment expenses when he came to Gaoya Town.

"You're asking for books and I'm just having fun. We're obviously not a good team."

"What about her?" The girl pointed to Zhaoxia, who was stunned for a moment, "I am the lord's warrior, of course I will go wherever the lord goes."

"Samurai?" The girl was stunned. Is it some kind of attendant?Does that mean this guy is still an aristocrat?Unexpectedly, there are such people among those stupid nobles.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Xu Xiaoxiao?"

"Strange name, oriental?" The girl thought for a while, but finally gave up. She was not very familiar with living people.

"Anastasia, you can call me Anna." This is not her real name, since the incident happened, she changed this name, which means: the resurrected one, or the person who revives again.

"Zhaoxia" "I noticed that you don't seem to be using a common language?"

I use dragon language" Xiaoxiao doesn't mind telling her about this part of the knowledge O

"Interesting, unfortunately, I don't know much about linguistics, but I'm curious how it bypasses my psychic perception and directly allows me to understand what you are saying.

"Want to learn? This is the foundation of magic."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in witchcraft, and language...is really not something I'm good at"

When the three arrived at the station, another man was already waiting there. He was bald, blind in one eye, and his armor was rusty. , the sideburns are already pale, obviously already old.

"Why do you still go to the battlefield at a young age?"

"That's where I belong." The old man raised his eyes and glanced at Anastasia, and then looked at Xiaoxiao and Zhaoxia. He frowned slightly, and then let go of his brows. Okay, it seems that there are only women and clowns traveling together this time. , at least a few fighters"

"Who do you call a clown?"

"What do you think?" The old soldier shook his head, "If you are going to go, you'd better wait a while. The coachman has gone to the city and said he is going to buy some supplies. JJ

Soon, the so-called cart driver for purchasing supplies came over with a large bag of stuff, and was knocked down by Xiao Xiao with an arrow.

Huh! The veteran pulled Anna to the back, drew out his weapon, looked at Xiaoxiao and Zhaoxia vigilantly, backed away slowly, and signaled Anna not to move around, and hid behind his shield.

"I said, you have been with a walking corpse for so long, can't you see it?" Xiaoxiao pulled out another arrow, picked up the driver's coat, and revealed the stinking body inside. After the operation, after removing the dirt, what remains is blue

Gray dead man's complexion.

"Fortunately, I'm very good at dealing with this kind of undead creatures." Xiaoxiao raised her hand, provoked a trace of magic power of order, and then mixed it with Huihui divine power to directly give this thing an empowerment. The walking corpse that was pretending to be dead suddenly disappeared Jumped up, however, cyan flames like dots of stars spewed out from its seven orifices, accompanied by an angry whisper, the walking corpse was reduced to ashes.

"Just right, although I'm not familiar with the road in Gaoya Town, at least I know which direction it's in"

"Walking corpse?" The veteran picked the ashes on the ground with his toes, shook his head, and put away his weapon. Although he still looked distrustful, at least he couldn't see any hostility, because he knew that if the other party could make a living If a person is reduced to ashes in such a short period of time, it is difficult for the armor on him to achieve anything.

"This, what's going on here, a corpse, no, no, maybe he hasn't died completely, maybe it's some kind of phosphorus compound..."

"Don't think about it, this is a divine technique, a technique different from magic." Xiaoxiao patted Anna on the shoulder, "Get in the car" O

She didn't pass the carriage, but the two gentle pack horses didn't dare to disobey the dragon's order, and they walked towards the direction of Gaoya Town. The so-called old horses know the way. The original frenzy and rebelliousness can't be seen.

The carriage passed through fields and ruins, perhaps the bandits acquiesced to the passage of the carriage full of adventurers, or it could be pure luck, or maybe they knew something, did not stop the carriage, and let it pass through the dark Woodlands, tombstone-studded cemeteries, entered barren wilderness, flanked by small villages where insensitive farmers tended terribly poor crops.

High Cliffs might have been a prosperous town, but the settlements and corridors on the hillsides had been abandoned, as had the slums of the quarry and the old mill covered with some strange crystallization.

Only the core of the town and the outermost area remained. To be more precise, people were forced to retreat from the cliffs of Eagle Castle all the way to the edge of the Black Forest before stopping, relying on stone walls and town guards to barely stabilize The line of defense, of course, did not rule out that the bandits did not want the only loot and supply point to be destroyed and indulged them.

The town can still vaguely see its original prosperity, with the mayor's mansion, a small castle to defend against thieves, a church and a sanatorium, a fighting union and a large blacksmith's shop in the city, and a complete set of taverns and inns. There's even an abandoned campsite.

Obviously, the little earl spent a lot of money on these facilities. Among them, the fire in the blacksmith shop has been re-ignited, and the craftsmen attracted by the title deed have re-operated the workshop, repairing weapons for adventurers and guards o several carpenters and The stonemason was discussing the maintenance of the nursing home in the small square. Unfortunately, the building was easy to repair, but the nurses and doctors were not easy to find.

"Um, where's the housekeeper?" The little count is a very ordinary young man, with a yellow tongue, messy hair, a pair of round eyes that look very bookish, and a thin body. He doesn't look like a strong man. people.

"Housekeeper? Have you studied necromancy?"

"What? Necromancy? I just saw it in a book. Is the butler a necromancer?"

"No, what I mean is, you let a walking corpse be your housekeeper!?" Xiaoxiao looked at this guy unexpectedly, it is some vampire's bad taste to let a special walking corpse with wisdom be your housekeeper, of course, some Necromancers do the same.

It’s just that this kind of walking dead steward was originally the old man of their family. After his life ended, he voluntarily converted into a walking corpse to continue serving the family. Regardless of his low rank, he actually has a status in the vampire family and the necromancer group. Not low.

But if it wasn't for the Necromancer, then the joke would be a little too big

That's it

"Walking corpse!?" The little count almost sat down on the ground, "This, how is this possible!?"

"Of course it's possible, because I purified it myself!" Xiao Xiao scratched her head.

"Forget it, I'm not here for gold coins, I'm just here for fun, the companion you want is behind"

"Sorry, I'm also interested in knowledge, and money is of no use to me."

"..." The old soldier shook his head. He came here purely for money. He wanted to atone for his past. The family members of his comrades who died because of his stupid behavior and conceit needed money to live. They never forgave this incompetent commander However, due to the helplessness of life, he could not refuse the monetary compensation he gave.

Of course, the veteran never thought about what this little money could compensate for, but it was better than doing nothing. He collected their corpses from the battlefield as much as possible, buried them one by one, and remembered each of them. people's names and origins, and then compensate their families.

And this money is all he bought from every battlefield with his own blood and battles. Maybe this kind of behavior really touched those souls, or maybe it was just persuading himself that those lying on his back every night The ashen face and screams by the bed also gradually became weaker, as if he had really been redeemed.

"That's right, anyway, the people who come to me are not ordinary people, they all have their own ideas." The little earl smiled, "Anyway, thank you for responding to my request."

His two "friends" who are not friends also have their own pasts. Raymond wants to get rid of the past and re-recognize his beliefs, while Disma is simply imprisoned by his own guilt and guilt. He chose to come to Gaoya Town for no purpose, but to face his past and everything again.

In other words, most of the people who are willing to come to a ghostly place like Gaoya have a serious illness. The only difference is whether the illness is serious or not and whether it affects the stability of the team.

On the contrary, Xiaoxiao and Zhaoxia are considered the "most normal" adventurers he has ever seen. They wandered around the town like ordinary tourists, occasionally leaving some strange traces, and then tasted the mushroom meat here Soup, gave a good review.

No bad habits, no weird emotions, normal as if two normal people, however, in this crazy and chaotic world, normal itself is a great abnormality.

"I left a talisman. The order barrier in this town is too weak. I strengthened it a little. Now there should be no deeper spiritual influence, and it can also speed up the calming function." In the hotel, the veteran, because of self-discipline, , did not hang out with those alcoholics and prostitutes, as for Anna was quietly reading her medical notes

O

"What are you talking about again, is it a psychological hint emblem?"

"I think you have hinted to yourself, I think your state is not normal." Veterans all know that the craftsmanship of these two little guys is genuine magic, although wizards are not very popular in other places, but in This weird place, a real wizard, especially one who is on his side is really a good thing

"...Is there?" Anna frowned, as if thinking about it

O

"Simple, look me in the eye"

"Ok?"

"Release!" The moment they looked at each other, spiritual energy pierced her head like a hot needle, and then the sealed memory was released instantly.

Anastasia, a genius at the Kingdom School of Medicine, is the only child prodigy who can understand the professor's course. Of course, she thinks that only she can understand, and the other students are just parrots.Enthusiastic about debates, like to enjoy this kind of intense ideological confrontation, and then

However, the elderly old professor obviously doesn't like this kind of thing.

As a result, the two often quarreled in class. However, this does not mean that their teacher-student relationship is bad, because this is a purely academic debate. This kind of debate about diseases and medicine is always a good thing. Brilliant sparks of knowledge can only be bred by the confrontation of ideas.

The biggest dispute between them was a disease. Anna thought it was a lung problem, while the professor insisted that it was a stomach problem. Unfortunately, the plague had already infected the professor. He insisted that it was caused by excrement polluting the water source. Instead of responding to the airborne infection, he got it.

Coughing violently, Anna refuted the teacher in class, hoping to persuade him, but she failed and succeeded, because when she sneaked into the university laboratory to do her own experiments, the professor had died in the laboratory o...

"No, no, no! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, sir!"

"What's up with her?"

"Maybe he was crushed by his own memory?"

"Oh!" Zhaoxia knocked Anna out with a blow, "It's resolved now, but what if she wakes up?"

"After all, we still need to face ourselves." The veteran shook his head, and he did the same. After struggling for a long time in the nursing home, he finally mustered up the courage to go back to the flesh and blood mill and dig out the things he had buried from the ground with his hands. , Carry it up, bring it back, finally face yourself, and finally get what you thought you had.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Because of Anastasia's coma, I regret to inform the little count that she will not be able to participate in the cleanup of the wilderness. Fortunately, another nun came to the station, who seemed to be pursuing some kind of faith and purifying the filth. This is very good so that Xiaoxiao and the others don't have to leave a person to take care of Anastasia who is in a coma.

"That is to say, including you, there are only five people at one time?" Xiaoxiao looked around, Raymond confessed in the church, and only himself, Zhaoxia, veteran and ex-bandit Disma participated in the operation. Of course, you also need to bring the little count himself.

"No way, only I can identify the historical relics of those families, and to be honest, I really want to find out what's going on." The little count sighed. He was interested in folklore and occultism, but absolutely Not interested in this form.

"This time the main thing is to clean up those robbers. They heard that the heir to the territory seems to be coming to plunder. They have a cannon. If left unattended, the town will be severely damaged. Everyone can only find a way to escape in the wild. lived."

"That's really terrible." The veteran who had experience in wild survival touched his beard, "So, are you going to clean up these robbers?"

"If possible, drive them away, and more importantly, clean up the monsters in the wilderness. Those stray dogs, wild wolves, and giant worms have already affected farmers' production."

In fact, there are more threats to the town. Those parasitic mushrooms and slimes are more terrifying than wilderness bandits, not to mention mysterious monsters like skull collectors wandering in the wild.

In addition, there are also a large number of undead creatures and cults in the ruins on the mountainside.

The gangsters would harass the town from time to time. Fortunately, the church in the town was broken, so it still had a little effect. The monsters didn't dare to go too deep into the town, and the stone wall blocked them well.

As for the pigmen in the sewers, the freaks that are everywhere in the slums can only be solved by blocking the sewers and sending guards to patrol every day, but... everyone knows that this town can still exist for a long time. Depends on when these monsters reach a consensus.

Generally speaking, monsters and monsters are not friendly. For example, robbers and witches are not very good. For the pigmen in the slums, the necromancers and cultists entrenched in the ruins are also very annoying, and the above Monsters are at odds with seafood from the abyss.

It is precisely because of the contradictions of these monsters that human beings can barely gain a foothold here, especially those cultists, who have kept those things in the courtyard and manor very well, otherwise, the situation would have been even worse.

"Burn the hallucinogenic mushrooms, eliminate robbers and dangerous beasts as much as possible, and strange poisonous insects, right?" Xiao Xiao summed it up.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No." She needs to find out the land card of the master of this domain and destroy it. This is also a fighting method that does not follow the rules of Planeslock, but it is difficult because the land card itself is a huge spiritual vein, whether it is destruction or sealing , need to use the power of sparks.

In other words, you won't have that chance at all, and you will be pulled into the home court by the opponent, especially when the opponent seems to have developed all these things of their own, or the opponent may not be a planeswalker at all, but something like The powerful plane lord of the Planeswalker or other powerful existences.

In any case, destroying the integrity of the opponent's domain is a way to gain the upper hand without using Spark's ability, and it is unknown whether these monsters are

It is not the opponent's creature follower, if it is, it is also a good way to reduce its number as much as possible before being drawn into the duel, or simply find the domain master to eliminate.
