The Rise of the Cemetery

Tata's crisp footsteps sounded behind him.

Issa didn't have to look back to know who was coming.

Yawning and stretching, the "captive" dressed in a devil princess leather suit walked into the central control hall.

For her arrival, neither the four vicious undead guarding the door nor the busy corpses responded at all, and she was allowed to walk to the most core area of ​​the entire Arcane Tower in such a calm manner.

Issa finally turned his head, and the frequently flickering compound eyes landed directly on the soul crystal necklace on the tender neck of the devil princess Morika. Uh, is it the nature of female demons to show off, or is Morika simply wanting to smell the breath of soul crystals all the time, which makes her make such a precious soul crystal into a necklace and wear it around her neck? .

If such an extravagant and arrogant move is placed in the cemetery city where mercenaries gather, it may cause quite a commotion. Through the soul system just now, Issa has learned that the young master will greatly increase the difficulty of obtaining soul crystals. It is conceivable that soul crystals will also become a luxury for cemetery heroes and mercenaries in the future up.

Huh, soul crystal?

Once the top-quality magic items in the treasure store flow out, there will probably be a big wave of hoarding soul crystals. Uh... Since I know in advance, within my authority, I can hoard some in advance, which may make my way of collecting resources smoother.

"Damn it, why didn't I think of it just now? I guess the acting city lords of the cemetery have already made similar actions?" Issa, who is not used to human thinking, finally understood what happened just now with his intelligence and calculations. The reason why several cemetery city lords were laughing slyly at the discussion meeting. Ignoring this little idiot who showed off like offering treasures in front of it, it has already used the soul system of the cemetery to instantly contact several puppets who are millions of miles away.

As a member of the cemetery with an independent soul, Issa is not completely free service. With the special approval of the young owner, he can obtain a certain amount of operating funds from these system-wide services. Therefore, after many years of hard work, the resources and soul crystals obtained by Issa are not inferior to those of several generations of city lords.

Now, he can open certain special services to all cemetery creatures in the way of providing public services, so as to obtain the soul crystals in their hands. This is allowed by the rules of the cemetery, and only he can do it.

In a race against time, each of the warm and special service items written by Issa topped the list in the mission halls of major cemetery cities. Like making tailor-made arcane armor, customizing exclusive arcane puppets, and cooperating with the city hall to renovate personal residences of designated models for mercenaries or heroes...

In short, all the characteristic businesses within his purview have been tried by him unprecedentedly. Of course, these measures also set off one after another excited cheers among the undead mercenaries and the heroes of the cemetery, applauding and applauding this most intimate measure of convenience and benefit.

At the same time, various administrative charging items in the main cities of the major cemeteries have also been put on the agenda one by one. One by one, all the public services of the city hall began to be linked to the soul crystal, and many previous free policies were abolished one by one, and the cemetery city began to work hard to establish its own consumer class.

Through such covert means, some underground bosses have hoarded soul crystals one after another, making final preparations for a grand event that may be revealed at any time.

These bits and pieces that happened on the main plane in the depths of the distant star sea were transmitted to Yisa's soul through the arcane puppets scattered everywhere.

To be honest, Isa is also sincerely happy with the current booming development of the Necropolis. After all, staying in a progressive group full of vigor and hard work, although the sense of urgency that the time is not waiting for others is overwhelming, it also makes people live a fulfilling life.

It can be said that every moment, every hero and mercenary in the cemetery is on the road, either busy with tasks, or sharpening their combat skills. Even during the brief moment of rest in the cemetery city, he was still calling friends and inquiring about the latest information everywhere. There has never been a moment when this group of lazy undead whose daily life rhythm is counted by years has worked so hard.

More importantly, this kind of hard work is still their willingness. None of the undead who have stayed in the large cemetery are willing to return to the previous state of confusion and confusion.

This may be a kind of charm, but also a kind of temptation!

Just like the radish hanging in front of the donkey's mouth, the desire for survival and evolution dominates their minds, making them deeply obsessed with this sense of belonging that they belong to. It is said that among the undead mercenaries, many have become faithful believers of the young master, and they carry bone carvings with Li Xun's appearance on them.

Such an extremely centripetal group is an organization that can unite the hearts of "people", and in some respects it has even surpassed the heights that the Arcane Empire can achieve.

Issa is a great visionary guy. Following the current development path and trend of the Necropolis, it is only a matter of time before it rises to become a large force that crosses the boundaries of the planes. A good and contagious internal atmosphere, a prudent and insightful leadership team, and miraculous and endless attack methods make the Necropolis a non-staff force with great potential but not locked by any large forces.

With the good foundation laid before, as long as the top management of the large cemetery does not make major decision-making mistakes in the future, almost rising has become a necessity.

The more it came to this time, the more Issa had to consider his own position. Compared with other cemetery heroes and undead mercenaries, Issa has now become an indispensable auxiliary force in the large cemetery. With him, the cemetery will develop more comfortably and beautifully, but without him, the existing quality of life and public order will fall back to the original state of chaos and disorder.

Therefore, as long as Issa doesn't make any extra moves, and he doesn't even need to make any extra moves, he will naturally become one of the rising giants of the Great Cemetery.

But when he thought of the mysterious information that he sensed inexplicably, Yisa's mood suddenly became gloomy.

Just when his mood was fluctuating and the waves were turbulent, the Lich's unique dry and hoarse voice came from the central console: "Master Isa, the charging room has been charged, and a new space transfer can be carried out!"

"Proceed immediately!"

Issa's answer was concise and clear, and the Lich's operation was also bold and quick. Half a minute later, the entire Arcane Tower trembled slightly, and the lighting crystals in the central control hall suddenly dimmed. The starry night outside the window, which was still peaceful just now, is now blurred, like a scroll painted by an urchin at random. All the color blocks are mixed together, and the specific star map and the airspace can no longer be distinguished.

The arcane tower performs space transfer, not the space teleportation commonly used in the plane. Since there are no specific star domain coordinates at all, the space teleportation in the plane system is not very useful here. It is better that this kind of space drifting space transfer is longer and easier, but it is also more risky.

Carrying out long-distance space transfer in the endless void, once it encounters the interference of the void storm, or directly transfers to a certain dangerous situation, the Arcane Tower will pay a huge price for this, and sometimes it will be silently annihilated in a certain place. Inside the black hole. Therefore, before each space transfer of the Pioneer Arcane Tower, it must be fully charged to prepare for various risks, and it must also work hard to detect and sniff out any distinctive void fluctuations, and strive to discover possible hidden dangers in advance.

So in the 7 days after leaving the demiplane, the Pioneer Arcane Tower only carried out 5 space transfers, and it was already hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the main plane where the Klein Continent is located. The price to pay was to fall into a meteorite belt during the second space transfer, and was attacked by star beasts.

The well-prepared Arcane Tower withstood the impact of many house-sized meteorites with its strong force field protection, and repelled this star beast called the Void Dog with the power of the necromancer.

In this campaign, Necromancer's "Damage Touch" shined brilliantly. Without the suppression of the rules of the plane, the special effects that were frequently triggered during a battle were extremely sharp, causing the Void Dog, who rarely came into contact with undead creatures, to suffer heavy casualties and had to retreat into the depths of the meteorite belt.

As a result, the idle Liches have many more biological specimens that can be experimented with!

Compared with such trivial things as encountering star beasts, Issa is more afraid of encountering those peaceful black holes lurking in the void. They are like bottomless traps, hiding in the depths of the void quietly and peacefully. Once any careless time traveler enters its gravitational circle, it will be difficult to come out intact. Back in the day, the Arcane Empire found out a series of starry sky routes that could barely be called safe at the cost of a large number of human sacrifices and material losses.

But now with the annihilation of the Arcane Empire, these ancient star maps have also been lost, and the tiny interstellar exploration team led by Issa has no room for mistakes at all. Once they are so unlucky that they are teleported into the gravitational circle of a black hole, under the powerful gravitational force of the void, any space teleportation spells will be destroyed before they take shape, so there is no possibility of escape at all. Only the teleportation circle inside the arcane tower can be activated once, and only once, with the protection of the magic circle.

So far, only Issa knows this secret.

After the new space transfer ended, the space-time velocity around the Arcane Tower gradually returned to normal, and some real-time images from the periphery could be transmitted to the monitoring crystal again.

During the routine report of "safety"..."safety", the corpse witch responsible for monitoring tasks from all angles reported his findings loudly, until one corpse witch suddenly shouted loudly, "found traces of void storm fluctuations" .

The atmosphere in the entire central control hall suddenly became tense.
