Lord Of The People: I Recruited A Mutant Succubus From The Start

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: We Aren’t That Close

Hearing Zhao Yuheng’s words, Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi felt their minds go blank.

Their family used to be a vassal of the Zhao family, so they called Zhao Yuheng “Sir”. The information they knew was obviously not as good as Zhao Yuheng’s.

This was the first time Zhao Yuheng had revealed so much information to them.

Moreover, the amount of information they had was just that huge!

Their family had spent nearly a hundred years exploring the arrival of the black fog a hundred years ago and responding to the arrival of the black fog a hundred years later.

And now, it seemed like it was the first time that they were so close to solving the mystery of the black fog!

Looking at the dumbfounded expressions of the two of them, Zhao Yuheng said, “It’s a little too early to talk about the formation of the black fog now. The most important thing now is to collect as many holy stones as possible!”

Hearing that, Xuan Ming asked, “Collect as many holy stones as possible? Don’t tell me there are still a lot of Holy Stones?”

Zhao Yuheng nodded. “The Pure Holy Stone in my hand was formed by the fusion of five ordinary Holy Stones.”

“Ordinary Holy Stones can only convert one-tenth of the soul energy. When five Holy Stones are combined, you can get a Pure Holy Stone, which can convert half of the soul energy. The more Holy Stones you combine, the higher percentage of the soul energy you can convert.”

“Moreover, there are different types of holy stones. Other than the fire-type holy stone in my hand, there should be other holy stones, such as the earth-type holy stone and the water-type holy stone. I feel that they should be divided according to the elements.”

“I have a premonition that holy stones are very important things. The more we can find, the better.”

“Putting everything else aside, it can be considered a godly skill if it can help the military to continuously upgrade!”

Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi nodded crazily when they heard that. They were full of desire for the holy stone.

“Unfortunately, Xuan Ming, your troops are mechanical. I don’t know if there is a mechanical holy stone. Tian Jizi, your fire-element magus can use my fire-element Pure Holy Stone to upgrade,” Zhao Yuheng looked at the two of them and said.

Xuan Ming’s face revealed a hint of regret.

After all, from the current situation, holy stones were very likely to be categorized into elements. There might not be any mechanical holy stones.

“Alright, try to increase the strength of your territory during this period of time. Hunt more monsters and explore the surrounding areas. From the current situation, the resources in the black fog far surpass those outside.”

Zhao Yuheng stood up and said.

Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi nodded upon hearing this. They had already experienced this point deeply.

If they were outside, even if they stole the homes of more than 200 new lords, it would be impossible for them to obtain so many resources.

Zhao Yuheng nodded at the two of them. After which, two wings extended from the fiery red armor on her body. She directly soared into the sky and headed towards the sky fortress.

Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi looked at Zhao Yuheng who was flying toward the floating fortress. A hint of envy appeared in their eyes.

“As expected of the Lord. If she doesn’t make a sound for a while, then she shocks the world with a single feat. The Lord now should be the strongest among the new lords in the black fog, right?” Tian Jizi sighed.

Xuan Ming nodded and said, “That’s natural. However, this is the accumulation of several generations. In comparison, I think Ren Qi is even more exaggerated. Did his military branch rely on Holy Stones to increase their ranks? If so, how did he get Holy Stones?”

If Ren Qi were here and heard Xuan Ming’s words, he would probably reply, “You might not believe it. I got Holy Stones in one hunt.”

...

Five-Element Thunder Qilin territory.

Li Tianlan was in the territory, dissecting the monster corpses that the five elements thunder qilin brought back with the dwarves beside her.

The five-elemental thunder qilin was a beast-shaped soldier after all. It could not dissect monsters, so she had to do it herself.

Fortunately, there were dwarves sent by Shi Yuhan and Li Linan to help in the territory, so it was not too busy.

Li Tianlan’s five elemental thunder qilin was steadily increasing its level, and its strength was also increasing. Therefore, the range of exploration and hunting was also getting larger and larger.

As she explored deeper, Li Tianlan could feel that the resources she obtained were becoming more and more abundant.

Just the production of energy crystals and magic crystals was increasing by several times.

She could even obtain some Holy Scrolls, but they were all severely diluted in energy.

“Sister Tianlan! I’m here again!”

Just when Li Tianlan was doing her best to decompose the monster’s corpse, Li Linan’s excited voice was heard. i????n????????????????. ????????????

Then, Li Tianlan saw Li Linan riding on a five elemental thunder qilin, trembling as she approached her.

Li Linan came to Li Tianlan’s territory, turned over, and ran in front of Li Tianlan.

“Humph!”

Shi Yuhan, who was not far away, snorted coldly when she saw this and turned her head away to deal with the monster’s corpse.

“Linan? Why are you here? Aren’t you taking care of that new dwarf uncle in your territory?”

Li Tianlan looked at Li Linan and asked curiously.

Previously, Li Linan told her that the dwarf house had attracted another powerful dwarf. It was a Tier 8 dwarf who wielded a thunder hammer and could use the power of thunder.

However, this dwarf was seriously injured, and Li Linan had been taking care of this dwarf uncle for the past two days.

Hearing Li Tianlan’s words, a dim light flashed in Li Linan’s eyes, and her expression instantly became silent.

“Sister Tianlan, that dwarf uncle, he... he died.”

Hearing Li Linan’s words, Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment, and then said regretfully, “What a pity.”

That was a Tier 8 battle-power, and to the simple-minded Li Linan, he was also a companion. She didn’t expect it to die just like that.

“Oh right, Sister Tianlan, I came to look for you to give you something.”

“The dwarf uncle gave me this before he died. It seems to be a lightning-type item. You should be able to use it.”

As she spoke, Li Linan opened her palm and revealed a special crystal that was flashing with lightning arcs.

Looking at the crystal that was flashing with lightning arcs in Li Linan’s hand, Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment. She felt an extremely intimate feeling from it.

She couldn’t help but reach out her hand. Li Tianlan took the special crystal in her hand.

After taking it, the lightning arcs on the special crystal didn’t have any lethality. It only gave people a numbing feeling, and was even somewhat comfortable.

“This is?” Li Tianlan looked at the special crystal in her hand that was flashing with lightning arcs. She felt that this was a very important thing.

Li Linan said, “Sister Tianlan, that dwarf uncle told me that this is a thunder-type Holy stone. It can absorb the souls of thunder-type creatures, and then help your soldiers breakthrough their life-level and raise their life-level.”

“That dwarf uncle said that he was only a Tier 6 dwarf before. It was only after he got this thunder-type Holy Stone that he rose to Tier 8.”

“Oh, that’s right. The dwarf uncle also said that this Thunder Holy Stone can fuse and increase its effects. He has already upgraded this Thunder Holy Stone to a Pure Thunder Holy Stone.”

“And the dwarf uncle died from heavy injuries in order to increase the effects of this Holy Stone.”

Hearing Li Linan’s words, Li Tianlan was stunned.

Although she did not know what a Holy Stone was, this stone could actually help a thunder-type creature to increase its tier?

This was simply a divine item!

After thinking for a moment, Li Tianlan looked at Li Linan and said, “Linan, this thing is very precious. You should keep it for your own use.”

This thunder-type Holy Stone was very precious, and it was even left to Li Linan by the dwarf.

Whether Li Linan used it for her lover or sold it, it would be a great harvest.

Li Linan shook her head and said, “Sister Tianlan, your army is of the lightning element. This Holy Stone of the lightning element can only be used by you.”

“If I have a lightning dwarf in the future, I can just look for Sister Tianlan to use it.”

Li Tianlan listened to Li Linan’s words and did not continue to decline. After all, her relationship with Li Linan now was as if they were in the same territory.

When the time came, she would compensate this girl with some things.

Looking at the Pure Thunder Holy Stone in her hand, Li Tianlan directly gave an order to the five elemental thunder qilin that had gone out to hunt as many lightning-type monsters as possible.

She wanted to test the power of this Pure Thunder Holy Stone!

...

Luo Ming’s territory.

At this moment, Luo Ming was commanding the beautiful female warrior to expand his territory.

Right now, Luo Ming’s territory was a silvery-white color, completely made of pure metal.

The mineral resources around his territory were very rich. Today, he had just discovered a mithril mine, which was currently being mined.

“After the mithril mine is mined, I’ll send some mithril over to Brother 77,”Luo Ming thought as he commanded the beautiful female warrior around him.

Luo Ming was very grateful towards Ren Qi. Not mentioning anything else, Ren Qi had reaped a bountiful harvest from this theft.

Although it was only a tenth of the dividends, it was still a large amount of resources. It was enough for him to lead many new lords.

At this moment, the beautiful female android who had gone out to mine the mithril ore flew over and brought back a cart full of mithril ores.

After being refined, these mithril ores would turn into mithril that could be directly used.

“Master, when we were mining mithril ores, a mine collapsed in one of the locations. We found this thing in the collapsed mine.”

The fully-armed android said as she took out a crystal from a basket.

This crystal was silver-white in color, and it shone with a metallic luster. Its texture was very transparent.

Seeing this, Luo Ming took it and examined it. He didn’t know what it was, so he used the Appraisal Mirror to examine it. However, he found that he couldn’t find any details.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ming took a photo and sent it directly to the chat group.

“I’ve opened up a mine and found such a thing. Who knows what it is?”

Many new lords would send a message to the chat group to ask if there were any other new lords who knew what it was.

Of course, the result was usually all sorts of answers. Generally, the answer that was the most popular would be enough.

However, this time, it was unknown if Luo Ming had sent something too far away, or if everyone was busy hunting and didn’t answer Luo Ming’s question.

Luo Ming did not care. Just as he was about to put the crystal into the warehouse, a private message rang.

Hermione: “Hello, do you have the crystal in your hand? I’ll give you a thousand energy crystals!”

Jones: “Brother, are you selling the crystal you sent in the group? How about I give you five thousand pounds of refined iron in exchange?”

Xuan Ming: “Are you there? Is the crystal in your hand? I need this crystal a lot. How about selling it to me?”

Luo Ming was stunned. The three of them sent him a private message, and all of them wanted the crystal in his hands. This was something that Luo Ming did not expect.

It seemed that the crystal in his hands was still valuable.

Looking at the last private message from Xuan Ming, Luo Ming thought for a while and replied, “Does Big Brother Xuan Ming need this crystal? If you need it, just take it. You gave me a lot of resources before.”

When he had followed Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi to steal from the territories, Xuan Ming had helped him quite a lot, so Luo Ming was quite grateful.

Xuan Ming: “Really? My good brother, then I am really grateful. Don’t worry, if there is such a thing as stealing houses in the future, I will definitely call you first!”

At this time, Xuan Ming was so excited in his own territory that he was about to jump up and down.

He had really fallen asleep. He had just gotten the news about the holy stone, but he had never thought that he would encounter one.

Moreover, from the looks of this Holy Stone, it was very likely to be a Mechanical Holy Stone!

When he thought of this, Xuan Ming’s heart began to dance again.

On Luo Ming’s side, he also began to type out Hermione and Jones’ rejection messages. Just as he was about to trade this crystal to Xuanming, a private message rang out again.

This time, it was Ren Qi.

Ren Qi: “Luo Ming, do you still have the crystal that you just sent to the chat group?”

Luo Ming was stunned. He didn’t expect Ren Qi to ask about this crystal.

Without any hesitation, Luo Ming directly replied, “Big Boss 77, Xuan Ming needs this crystal. I was just about to send it to him through the trade channel.”

Ren Qi: “Don’t! Don’t give it to the Xuan Ming. This guy knows that you’re my friend, yet he still wants to cheat this Holy Stone!”

Luo Ming: “Holy Stone? Big Brother 77, are you talking about the crystal that I just sent to the group?”

Ren Qi: “I’ll explain about the Holy Stone to you later. Don’t give the holy stone in your hand to that bastard Xuan Ming.”

Luo Ming was a little confused, but he still listened to Ren Qi’s words.

Moreover, from Ren Qi’s words, he could already feel the importance of this crystal.

Thinking of the three people’s previous inquiries, Luo Ming had already guessed that they all hoped to obtain this crystal.

Without hesitation, Luo Ming directly sent a message to Xuan Ming.

“I’m sorry, Big Boss Xuan Ming. Big Boss 77 said that this is a Holy Stone. He asked me to keep it and not give it to you.”

When Xuan Ming, who was happily waiting for the crystal, received this message, he was about to explode in anger.

Ren Qi!

Without any hesitation, Xuan Ming sent Ren Qi a private message. “Ren Qi! We are all from the same organization. Can you not ruin my plans?”

Ren Qi: “You should know about the Holy Stone, right? It is a Holy Stone, and you should know its value. Why are you trying to swindle Luo Ming’s Holy Stone? Aren’t you cheap?”

Xuan Ming: “What do you mean by swindle? I’m just trying to increase the strength of our organization. He, Luo Ming, isn’t from Cloud group. Why are you helping him?”

Ren Qi: “Hehe, Luo Ming is my friend. What are you? A teammate?”

“Can you stop talking about being close? We’re not that close.”
