Chapter 438: Sudden Wealth
Don't let it be some melodramatic plot.

Linde couldn't help but add secretly in his heart.

Although there is no romantic relationship between him and Tione and they are only "husband and wife" in name, if Tione must be sacrificed to protect the world and he needs to kill his sister to prove his truth, he will definitely be the first one to disagree. He will not only consider his personal feelings but also whether the undead will accept it.

This plot doesn't pass for him.

Fortunately, the round-faced princess didn't let Lind wait too long before explaining, "She possesses the same power as the Ring Knights who are responsible for the seal, the bloodline blessed by the Magic Ring, and the power of the Magic Ring fragments integrated into her body."

"Ring Knight?"

Lind remembered that Tione had a title in the eyes of the undead, called "Ring Sister". If it was not a coincidence, then it must be a hidden plot.

"The magic ring bloodline you mentioned, is it the human nobility?" Lind looked at Magdalena. It was a consensus that the nobles possessed blood power, so why was she so surprised? He also had the blood of the old nobility and almost lost control many times.

By activating the power in the body with the name of nobility and the noble blood, one can transform into the big BOSS in the beta version, with the highest level approaching level 41-50, a definite early and mid-term numerical monster that no one can stop.

"Human nobles?" Magdalena was confused, but nodded. "The blood of the Ring Knights is indeed noble, but from the very beginning they were born to seal disasters like the Lord of the Abyss. The name of the Ring Knights is more in line with their status and dedication than nobles."

Seeing Linde thinking, Magdalena asked, "Do you have many ring knights like her?"

"Does someone with only the bloodline of the Magic Ring count as a Ring Knight?"

"Of course not." Magdalena shook her head and explained, "There are many people who have the bloodline of the Magic Ring, but after the Magic Ring was broken, they completely lost control."

It turns out that there are old nobles in the Demonic Land as well. I understand. As long as the other party has not completely lost their human form, there is a chance to recruit them.

After Lind came to the Demon Land, he deeply felt the pain of the shortage of NPC manpower. William has the attribute of a silly dog, and Tionne is silly and cute, so almost all the work is done by him alone.

It's no problem to let him enjoy the benefits, but it's a bit difficult to ask him to manage every detail. It's not enough to do two things at once. He needs to do twenty things at least.

Is Tione really the only one who fits the bill?
Lind wondered if he should also embed a piece of the magic ring fragment into his body. Although it was not as big as the one on the back of Tione's head, it was a small piece in his hand.

Their topic did not stay on the seal for too long. Lind breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that the Ring Knight's sacrifice of himself for the seal was a thing of the past.

It would be fine without Tioné's sacrifice.

William on the side kept looking at the two of them. He couldn't help but recall the story told by the undead, "Life and Death Together". Lord Linde must be reluctant to part with Miss Tionne. Maybe he will have to sacrifice himself to save the world, and the two of them will die together hand in hand.

Even the beast girl Solaris was shaking her tail a little faster. I'm touched. I won't curse Lind to be bitten by Ur tonight.

The two naturally turned the topic of conversation to "Ring Knight".

The ring knights who were once responsible for the seals in various places have been tortured by madness and blood power. In short, they have become an upgraded version of the old noble BOSS in the internal test, which may be 2.0 or 3.0.

Nowadays, the Ring Knights are stationed in their respective fortress ruins, churches and other places, and each of them has a strength of at least 6 rings. The Ring Knights who still retain the instinct to protect the seal will show their weapons to all uninvited comers.

It is also for this reason that the strong men from other regions keep their distance from Wuyu City and never take the initiative to approach it and use their lives to become a stepping stone for the city to reach a higher level of fame.

Fighting with a strong person is a two-way fight. When people grow to this level, they generally won't use brutal force unless necessary. But with a madman, there is no way to reason. If you can't afford to provoke him, you can afford to avoid him.

The conversation between the two seemed very dull to William and others. Almost every time one of them spoke, the other would pause to think for a while. It was intermittent and the listeners were scratching their heads.

But the reality is that both of them were working at their fastest speed.

Lind was also trying to think twice.

After coming into contact with the other party, he found that things became very troublesome. A legendary-level strongman could not be the lowest-level combat force when they were chatting. No wonder neither the Crystal Mage nor Wen Ruiwen were willing to come. The combat power of the Crystal Mage was worse than that of the legend, and Wen Ruiwen... It turned out that angels were really the lowest-level soldiers. In this way, the road from Yongshuang Land to the Divine Realm would only become more difficult.

The lowest combat power is 5 rings, and the enemies are basically 6th and 7th rings. Moreover, it concerns the destruction of the world and a new era, etc., which makes Lind, an old nobleman from the countryside, look pitiful, weak and powerless.

Lind was thinking about what he could get from it. He needed all kinds of knowledge, but it was obvious at the moment that unless he spent dozens or hundreds of epic knight paths, he would most likely not be able to get out of the "Novice Village" of the Demon Land, that is, the Beast's Nest - the Wilderness Gray Ruins.

He was sure that this was the Novice Village because Magdalena was here, while Wuyu City and Tianxing Magic School were restricted areas for the strong.

"It doesn't seem impossible." Lind looked at Magdalena. As a watcher, she must have a lot of knowledge.

We can exchange at unequal value.

Similarly, Magdalena was also thinking. From the communication with Linde just now, she was sure that the other party was "from the country" and was easy to deceive... No, it should be said that their purpose was very simple, they didn't understand many things, and they just wanted to find an opportunity to save their own world.

Then, we should first explain to the other party how dangerous this world is, and then ask them to help us build a new base. Then, there will be a great chance of success in restoring the order of the Watchers. Humanity will finally have a chance to breathe again!

As long as she controls this team, she will be able to defeat the Lord of the Abyss again in due time and put everything back on the destined path. Magdalena is very confident about this.

Let me first talk about the current situation of humans in the Demonic Land!

Therefore, Magdalena said with a very serious expression: "King Linde, now humans can hardly move in the wilderness. As a weak foreign race, we have been forced to the point of desperation by the beastmen..."

Before she could slowly explain the desperate situation humanity was in at the moment, Lind spoke.

"The cooperation I mentioned before is not this kind. Undead people will never be slaves. Undead people will not be loyal to anyone, and will not betray their beliefs. Moreover, the survival of humans in the Demon Land has nothing to do with humans on our continent."

The human forces such as the Kingdom of Rand and the Kingdom of Black Swamp have no records of the Demon Land, but they all have records of the Everfrost Land. This shows that the humans in the Demon Land look down on their poor relatives in the country and are afraid of being found.

Now that humans in the Demonic Land are almost extinct, they are opening the door to convenience. No matter how you look at it, it is a bit shameless.

Besides, Lind was unwilling to lead the undead to the territory of the King of Corruption before he knew Magdalena's identity. Now that he probably guessed that the other party might be the NPC who would guide the Demonic Land in the future, it was even less likely that he would agree.

People plant trees and people pick the fruits. Lind only wants to pick the fruits and refuses to let others pick his fruits.

However, he was also quite pleased with Magdalena's address just now. His identity as "King Linde" had been verbally recognized by the other party, and he had taken the first step towards success.

He originally wanted to call him the Lion King, but was afraid of being associated with a character in a cartoon. Beast Girl said that she did not come up with the title of Beast King herself, but it was a title that was passed down by word of mouth because of her powerful strength and image that was well known to outsiders.

In this regard, Linde can only say that they do not understand hype and traffic. If one day a beastman digs out a sheepskin scroll from the belly of a fish with "King Linde, Mandated by Heaven" written on it, the effect will surely be explosive.

Linde was determined to have a new name. After much thought, he found that many good names had already been registered in advance. It would be safest to add a "王" after the name. At least no one would know who he was talking about just by looking at the name, which would facilitate the binding of the image and brand.

It’s like this in the service industry: it doesn’t matter what you’re called; what’s important is whether people can remember you, and reputation is above all else.

The two argued endlessly about the cooperation, and finally Lind just gave in and said that it would depend on what kind of compensation Magdalena could give, and he could help her complete some work depending on the situation.

Thinking of what Lind said before, which sounded like a high-sounding move, but now acted like a mercenary, Magdalena couldn't help but puff up her chubby face.

"What do you need?" Just give me money, even though I don't have much to give at the moment.

"All kinds of knowledge, whether it's through potion formulas, poetry, or treasure maps."

William on the side exclaimed in his heart that this sounded familiar. Isn't this the undead's rhetoric? After capturing someone, he would first ask what knowledge he could get. He is indeed worthy of being Lord Linde's most loyal warrior.

"I don't have many path potions I can come up with." Magdalena was a little worried.

"How many do you have? Any profession will do."

"We believe in the Three Gods, so we can only offer the Three Gods approach," she replied.

"Wait, the Three Gods Path? You also have the Death God Path?"

"of course."

Lind's heart was pounding. He had said long ago that it would be absolutely right for the undead to follow him. And look, they got a big bargain by accident.

The recipe for the Death Path potion, which is very scarce in the three continents, can actually be obtained here.

"I can take out potions of up to five types: Sun's Proof, Storm Knight, Undead Knight, Molten Knight, and Dragon Knight, and even up to Legendary."

Magdalena noticed that Lind's expression had changed and mistakenly thought that he was dissatisfied, so she immediately added: "After reaching the Legendary level, if you want to make further progress, you can no longer rely on potion formulas. You must go through various trials."

Linde forced himself to suppress his pounding heart.

Unexpectedly, I had gained something unexpected. I had collected all the Path to the Proof of the Sun and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The only problem now would be to obtain the Heart of Disaster of the corresponding level.

The legendary Heart of Disaster, each one is at BOSS level and not easy to brush.

He decided that he would go through all five paths at once, but he didn't know if the Golden Oath Emblem could control such a powerful force. "What about the wizard path?"

"I have the recipe for the pathway potion, but I'm only a second-ring wizard, so I don't know much magic. The wizard teacher who teaches me magic is also a ring knight. If you want some knowledge about her..." She stopped talking, and her meaning was self-evident.

There are potion recipes, but no magic.

It’s not a big problem, you can grab it later.

"What about the Death Path?"

"I don't recommend you to have too much dealings with them. Those ghosts are the oath keepers of the Path of Death. Anyone who dances with ghosts will surely bring disaster upon themselves."

"You forgot that we are immortals." Lind didn't mind vague concepts.

There are five orthodox paths to the Sun's Proof, the most orthodox one is the Sun Knight path, and the remaining four have their own biases.

The wizard's path is more diverse, including magic, transformation, divination, potions, etc., which is much better than Lind's self-defeating journey. As for the perfumer, crystal wizard, etc., they are a bit unpopular.

The path of death is also divided into necromancers who control corpses, liches who turn themselves into corpses, and ghosts after death. It would be fine if this path is not open. As long as it is opened, Lind is 100% sure that the undead will immediately change their jobs in large numbers.

It doesn’t matter how strong you are, being handsome is a lifelong thing.

At worst you can just stack equipment and blessings, the numbers are not a problem at all.

Linde was a little slow to react to the huge amount of knowledge that suddenly appeared in his hands. He had never fought such a rich battle before. Now he didn't want to stay in the Demon Land for a moment. He just wanted to ride his underground tunnel worm larvae back to the Xilu Continent, and then upgrade himself and come out again after reaching the maximum level.

No, there may not be any legendary ones in the Demon Land.

But people must keep their word. Even if Lind possessed the power of five legendary great knight paths, he might not be a match for the King of Corruption, so he forced himself to keep his promise.

The Fat-Faced Princess gave everything to me without reservation, so I can't just treat her like a human being.

"Okay!" Lind nodded, "We can help you."

"I know I haven't given you much now, but... huh?" Magdalena suddenly looked up and looked at Lind in confusion. She had only given him some relatively secret knowledge.

There is no shortage of knowledge and ways to acquire knowledge in this world. What is lacking is people who can absorb knowledge and become strong.

Just like in the Beast Lord's Blessed Land, every Beastman has the opportunity to become a 6th-ring strongman through hard work, but a large number of Beastmen can only hover between 1st and 2nd rings and cannot improve throughout their lifetime. Just like those NPCs in the Rand Kingdom, they don't even have the talent to drink the potion a second time.

In the end, the only person worth leading in the entire Rand Kingdom was William, "one of the protagonists of this version."

"I want you to follow me and take back Misty Rain City together, is that okay?" Magdalena asked tentatively.

Linde just looked at the other person quietly.

The undead are just immortal, but they are not fools. It is difficult for 3000 people to fight the Lady of Night, let alone the 6 version of the old nobles who are full of 2.0-rings. Believe it or not, they will dare to defect to others tomorrow.

We can suffer while playing games, but we can’t just suffer.

"That's right, the gap in strength is too big." Magdalena sighed. If the strength of the immortal was 4 rings, and there were 3000 immortals with 4 rings, maybe there would be a chance to win.

But that's easier said than done.

"We can try to cooperate first," Lind said, "but I have another question, why does the King of Corruption want to protect you?"

"She is my aunt." Magdalena answered without thinking to express her trust in Linde.

She thought that since Lind decided to help her with such a low reward, he must be a person with a hard mouth but a soft heart, just like the teacher who taught her before, who scolded her with his mouth but still cared about her in his heart. It was a pity that she had never worked hard to study well.

A certain beast girl's tail began sweeping the floor again.

Linde was also silent.

As expected, as long as one is a noble, one can eat melons anywhere. It’s a pity that the recorder lady didn’t come along. One has to say that one of Magdalena’s grandparents has a very strong taste.

"Then let's show our sincerity first. Although we are not strong, we are very efficient!" Lind said, "The King of Corruption should be hostile to the King of Lionheart now, right?"

Seeing Magdalena nod, Lind said: "I can send my people to the Lionheart's territory, investigate the information, and slowly defeat them! With our lives!"

"This is very risky!" Magdalena immediately looked up and said, she also wanted to help her aunt, but even if she was an undead, she would not gain any benefit by doing small tricks under the nose of a beast king.

"Of course I know that, but before we are ready, it is also important to expand the place for humans to live. When you hope to go to various material planes to pick up strong people in the future, our expanded base will be able to better guarantee their safety!" Lind sighed, as if he was under tremendous psychological torture.

What he had in mind was to take advantage of the opportunity to gain fame and show off his style. He had to completely suppress Magdalena and make "King Linde" the only designated NPC to guide the Demon Land.

Otherwise, if the King of Corruption and the King of Lionheart, two guys who sound like passers-by NPCs, really start fighting, and in the end Magdalena's status is highlighted, wouldn't I be at a great loss?

Linde, who had previously refused to do so, suddenly made such a huge sacrifice. Magdalena's first reaction was that the reward she offered made the other party tempted, but she immediately ruled out the possibility.

It's impossible. The seemingly precious reward doesn't have much use. Knowledge is precious but not worth such a great sacrifice. Even if immortals will die infinitely, they will feel pain every time they die and will definitely be in pain.

Just like the "Undead Knight" path, as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, many people once chose this path, but later became numb to death and could not die even if they wanted to, and finally chose to exile their souls.

Then the purpose can only be what Lind mentioned before, which is to test whether he also has a heart that cares about humanity.

What a hateful guy!
But the contribution to humanity is still lovely and worthy of recognition.

She didn't pursue the matter for now.

"I'll tell my aunt about this, if you need help."

"It's a deal. If King Lionheart wants to take action, I hope King Corruption can help." Lind said immediately.

"I will convince my aunt, but she will not take the initiative to attack until Lionheart Castle is destroyed." said Magdalena, who seemed easy to deceive.

"That's what we have to do, destroy Lionheart Castle." Linde said confidently.

That's right, you can't make much money from the outdated "princess", but you can definitely make money from the corrupt king.

Magdalena also felt that the "country people" in front of her were easy to deceive.

With the undead's unique abilities, as long as they are crazy enough to die, they might be able to knock down the door of Lionheart Castle. At that time, my aunt will definitely take action.

If the King of Corruption could take over everything from the wasteland to the beast's lair, human development would definitely be more stable.

It's a pity that it's just an injustice to the undead. After countless deaths, they will probably be left with only rotten shells.

Only Solaris was stunned.

If she heard correctly, what Linde meant by those words just now was that the King of Corruption and Magdalena should pay together for the undead to defect to the Lionheart King. Moreover, the Black Bloods sent by the Lionheart King shouted every day about how good the benefits of joining Lionheart Castle are. If nothing unexpected happens, the undead will definitely get the benefits.

One thing, three benefits!

No, it's killing four birds with one stone! There's also myself.

The Beast Girl remembered that she had said before that eliminating a Beast King and retrieving the echo was the fastest way to awaken the Beast Master, and Lind had already found a thug, the King of Corruption.

What did Lind pay for this? It seems that only the undead.

Thinking of this, Beast Girl sighed.

To have a group of loyal and fanatical believers make endless contributions and sacrifices, she really couldn't understand why they would follow someone like Lind. She was so envious that she wanted to bite him.

Lind said: "I still have to go and tell the undead the news."

If he didn't tell the undead such good news immediately, he was worried that the undead would get up early and go to work.

Don’t work like a slave for real-world companies. I provide fresh fodder here!
