Chapter 177: The Novice Village Involution Ended Before It Began
The town of Kazhan can often be seen on forums. After all, the "Necromancer" is very attractive to people.

As the last location of the six novice villages, Linde has always kept his attention on Kazhan Town.

What's more, if you want to pass through the Snake Catcher's Fortress and return to the Golden City, it is difficult to bypass Moon Mountain and Kazhan Town.

The undead had uploaded the approximate data of Archbishop Kazhan on the forum. He was level 33, which was the heroic rank, and had the ability to control the undead in the cemetery behind Moon Mountain.

According to the explanations of Milan and others, Milburn, who was once just a high-level wizard, eventually went on the path of madness because of his pursuit of the power of promotion, and his forced promotion brought him bad consequences. It is said that Milburn was a very gentle, kind and handsome bishop long before this.

The undead people of Kazhan Town are still trying to approach the Archbishop, but so far no one has succeeded in gaining his favor.

"He has a choir of 133 people." Domei rubbed his arm as if he remembered something disgusting. "Even the former Lord Leon abandoned it."

Lind's gaze lingered on Domei's shoulder for a moment. His shoulder was almost broken by Lind's punch before, but now it seemed that there was no serious problem.

"The choir can help him recite and chant, my lord, but you probably don't want to experience the feeling of being weighed down by 133 curses and fears in an instant. No one in Kazhan Town can defeat him." His words were certain, and Linde could vaguely sense a hint of provocation.

"Let's talk about the matter of Kazhan Town later." Lind did not intend to take action against Archbishop Kazhan himself.

There was no change in Duo Mei's expression. He did not show any disgrace at all because his little plan was seen through by Lind: "I just borrowed his method."

Although he mentioned borrowing, the feeling is that his methods must have been dishonorable.

"What's the price?" Lind asked.

Although Domei only has the strength of an upper-level wizard, he can emit terrifying fireballs like an epic wizard. At least the power is not inferior to that of Leon who once reached the abyss.

After Leon turned into the abyss, he directly transformed into a demolition team. The rapid reconstruction of Star Dragon City was largely due to Leon's city-massacre attack.

“Pay your life.”

"who?"

"Everyone, including me."

Lind raised his eyebrows. He probably understood why Duomei was able to unleash such a powerful attack at that time but chose to surrender in the end.

Because Dome discovered that Lind was not afraid of fire.

It was no wonder that Domei surrendered so easily as he lost his own life without causing any harm to Lind. If Domei knew that the fire could not kill Lind but could even help him recover from his injuries, he might have regretted it even more.

"I support you in researching and learning magic, including delving into that knowledge," Lind thought for a moment and said, "You can go to the guild to post a task, and I'll find someone to teach you what to do. Even if you need a living person to conduct an experiment, someone will come to you on their own initiative, but don't capture someone on your own."

"Yes" Duomei didn't quite believe what Lind said.

Even if they were immortal, would they really be willing to be experimented on? What he wanted was their wholehearted cooperation.

Linde seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "They must be better at cooperating than you think."

"First, find a place to live in Star Dragon City, get a lion badge, and then open a store. As for the mechanical energy magic circle... I need you to prepare it, and the construction will start in the next few days."

The existence of energy batteries is of paramount importance.

It is not necessary to use the undead to extract energy. Lind's own knights can also be used to replace them. The most important thing is to ensure the operation of the [Gold Seal]. Lind even plans to keep the enemy prisoners he captures in the future and use them as human batteries.

Only when the [Gold Seal] is fully operational and each update drives the work enthusiasm of the undead, can one's own novice village enter a stage of rapid development.

Every important NPC must open a store in Star Dragon City, which is beneficial to Linde's improvement of the main city's functions and is equivalent to a mandatory task.

Domei's appearance is very suitable for opening a store. If he holds a two-handed sword, he will be the strongest melee wizard in a white robe. If he holds a small wooden stick and a magic wand and stands with Renzo... hiss, that would be a perfect match.

“It would be better if they opened their two stores opposite each other.”

……

Morena, who had been waiting outside the lion iron gate for a long time, finally heard the sound of the gate being pushed open. The white-bearded old man, Domei, led by the soldiers, walked towards her on the long stone steps. "Don't be nervous, Morena," Domei advised with a smile, "The lord is very kind and very kind."

Mercy? Did he mean that he took Domei's flames that could burn through the sky and smashed his own barrier with one punch, and then smashed Domei's shoulder with another punch?

At that time, Morena watched Lind pick up Dome like a chicken, and turned his head to look at her. She was sure that she felt a strong death threat.

"Huh" Morena rubbed her palms on her clothes. Although the severe cold was about to pass, the air was still chilly. The strange thing was that since she came to Star Dragon City, her palms could not help sweating.

Walking to the huge iron gate, she supported it with both hands and pushed it forward.

The heavy "creaking" sound was like a giant beast sharpening its teeth.

What caught her eye was the slightly empty lord's hall with a chair at the top. She tried to imagine Linde sitting on it in golden armor, riding a horse and carrying a golden sword. She felt a sense of urgency as if she had entered the hunting range of a lion.

Fortunately, Lind did not greet her with a condescending attitude.

There were tables and chairs placed in other places in the hall. Lind was not wearing his oppressive heavy armor, but just a loose robe.

"Sit here," Lind said, holding a wooden stick in his hand.

Morena's wand, emitting a faint white light, can help her release a barrier to resist attacks.

It once belonged to Morena's sister.

The conversation was exactly as Domei had described. Perhaps because he had taken off his helmet, Lind's voice no longer sounded like the buzzing sound in an iron can, but rather very soft.

Even when he was sitting on a chair like Morena, his tall figure still looked like a small mountain, forcing Morena to look up at him.

"Did the ghost of Soul Valley come from you?" Lind stood up and looked around, and finally picked up a bottle of wine from the cabinet next to him.

He poured himself a glass, the aroma of the wine brewed from grains made his mouth water.

Maybe it was because of the drinking that the atmosphere became less oppressive.

"Of course not." Morena shook her head: "My potion comes from my sister. Soul Valley existed before we came here... I think that maybe the potion my sister took out is related to Soul Valley."

She told him her whole experience without much hesitation. She had told this story once before in order to gain Duomei's trust, so it was much easier for her to tell it again.

She killed her sister who went crazy because of the "prophecy", and she also waited for the undead in the "prophecy".

Lind sipped the wine with a slightly surprised expression, not sure whether he was surprised at the aroma of the wine or at what Morena had done.

The information he heard today was indeed enough to surprise him. Compared to the rich harvest of knowledge from hundreds of books, the energy battery technology and talents that the mechanical magic array could bring, the addition of dozens of undead to add more labor to Star Dragon City, etc., the awakening of an NPC made him pay more attention to it.

In order to rebel against the "officials", Morena killed her brainwashed sister.

In other words, not everyone has to serve the undead unconditionally.

The iron rules of the game do not apply in this world, and he has a strong urge to control his own destiny.

In the future, more and more people will choose to kill the "official NPC".

Then, after Lind quickly reviewed the information in his mind, he shifted his attention back to the development of Star Dragon City.

The competitiveness and influence of one's own town can be further enhanced through this.

This gave Linde a strange feeling, probably like the NPCs in other territories who ignored him, but I am different. Not only do I pay attention to you, but I also provide you with the most perfect gaming experience.

The NPCs in the novice village and the main city have no idea what they are facing. This internal competition has not even begun, but it can already be declared over.
