Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Altar of Sunset
In addition to task deduction, the game system of "Qiankun" also likes to play prop deduction.
Because Qiankun is a game that changes all the time, there is no fixed mission content and rewards. Maybe a small chance factor can make your gear better or worse. However, after the props are deduced, most of them are beneficial to the player.

Those who came back with Qingyi were Fermat, Oskol, and Wumu. Frangi and the two embryos remained in Osgilia to recuperate.
The "Fermat Airship" sailed at an altitude of about 2,500 meters above sea level, which was much smoother than expected, although it was a little bumpy, but it was also due to the high-altitude current. Although it is not as fast as the previous Scoop Ride, it is still three times faster than walking. Combined with the fact that it's the default system carrier, this speed has an additional 20% speed bonus, so the four-and-a-half-hour journey only took a little over an hour. However, first, it has to come into contact with the clouds of dead air, and secondly, it is extremely cold in the sky, and if the living beings sit on it, they will either transform into half-dead creatures or freeze to death, so this kind of transportation is only suitable for undead creatures.
The Necromancer, Mr. Jont Sr., was already below to greet him. With his command, several waiter zombies have already rolled out the red carpet at the expected landing site to welcome the arrival of the king (Xue Duo: "Hey! As for it? ......") Su'er kept her face up, staring longingly at the bottom of the airship. Qingyi waved at them.
As soon as the airship landed, Qingyi hadn't been able to set foot on the ground, and a figure flew over: "Your Majesty~" hugged him strongly, but it was Clavisoer, who he hadn't seen for a long time. She had changed into a crimson dress, wore ruby earrings, a crystal necklace, a white gold jade bracelet, and a whole bunch of valuable ornaments, and wore high heels with thin roots that were about to break, and I don't know how she pounced so quickly. She hugged Qingyi's head and squeezed it hard to her chest, and her voice was delicate: "Your Majesty, do you miss me?" ~”
"Xiaowei, if I weren't a necromantic creature, I would have died of suffocation by now......" Qingyi reluctantly emitted a soul wavelength.
"You haven't answered me yet, Your Majesty! ~”
"Want to ......"
"Nasty, not a little sincere! I'm sure I've forgotten about me a long time ago! Clavisol squeezed it harder, and then let Qingyi go. At this moment, another figure pounced up: "Dad! ~”
Su'er hung on Qingyi's body like a koala, and bit him with a whin: "Why did it take so long to come back?!" Hum! Be careful that people ignore you! ”
Qingyi put this little ancestor aside in a good voice and walked out of the hanging basket, but he didn't expect a figure to fly towards him: "Oh, dear Your Majesty! ~”
"You don't need to, Schroud, hehe." Qingyi hurriedly stretched out his scepter, put it on the man's chest, and said with a wry smile.
"Just kidding. Hahaha, congratulations on your victory! Schroeder Bray was still the same, with a large satchel on his back, smiling passionately, and his eyes narrowed into crescents.
System Prompt: Complete your quest "Expansion and Ambition" and receive a reward: a blueprint for the Spiritualist Table.
After repeatedly checking the tips for the completion of this task twice, Qingyi came back to his senses for a long time: What, I worked hard to build a city, and you only gave me a drawing? What about playing with me? But Qingyi couldn't have a seizure. He had no choice but to amass his strength until he was able to escape from Schroeder Bray's grasp. He thought coldly: In ancient times, King Goujian of Yue had a salary to taste the gall, and I will try it today!
Conjuring platform: The ancient king ascends this high platform, sets up a soul flag, and recites the soul summoning speech, summoning the heroic spirits of the warriors who have been displaced from the foreign land, so that their fallen leaves can return to their roots. Recruit one Necro creature per month (1% chance of heroic, 25% chance of high, and 74% chance of mid)). In the Spiritualist Table, summon skill level +3. Requires 1 "Spiriting Banner", 10 units of wood, 10 units of marble, and a priest who summons a specialization.
"I'm amazed at how fast you've grown! I've given you six months, and you'll be done in less than two months! At this rate, it will only be a matter of a year to take down a country! Schroeder Bray rubbed his hands together with joy. When he mentioned the topic of "war", his eyes were not filled with fear or disgust, but with a visceral excitement. Fine beads of sweat were pouring from his forehead, as if his body had risen. "Do you need to try more challenges? Dear Your Majesty? ”
System prompt: Do you accept the quest "Expansion and Ambition 2"?
"Although I finished the task ahead of schedule, I still wanted to lay a good foundation and take it one step at a time. I'm still not starting the new mission until six months after the original mission time, can I? Qingyi asked.
Schroeder Bray looked at the sky, thought about it seriously, and said with a smile: "The remaining time is converted into four months, and after four months, you have a full year to conquer more land!" ”
Bite!
System Prompt: Quest "Expansion and Ambition 2", quest requirements: To expand the territory of influence, you must get at least one new country outside of the Blackstone Valley. The mission lasts for one year, and if it fails, you will need to pay 1 million gold, or choose to lose all cities except the capital. The mission time can be counted four months from now.
"By the way, Schroeder, the reward just now is very oriental, it seems to be 'Huaxia'?" After the two sides negotiated the terms, Qingyi brought the topic back to the task reward, because he was very interested in it.
"You're so smart! When I went to 'Huaxia', I got it from a necromantic king named Sword Soldier Wuji. Schroeder Bray handed a yellowed drawing to Qingyi.
"Can you go that far?" Qingyi secretly spoke, which confirmed his speculation: Schroeder Bray is a heroic NPC, there is no doubt about it! So far, the only people who can rely on their own strength to travel between continents are god-level players and hero-level NPCs!
"I'm a businessman, how can I open the market and sell products if I don't run around?" Schroeder waved his hand indifferently. "In other words, your subordinate's inventions are very popular, especially the 'Dream of Qingbi'! I dare say that your life profession is the envy of any Necromantic King! ”
"Really? What about the combat class subordinates? Qingyi asked.
"Hehe, do you still need to ask? When it comes to kings, Mr. Frankie is naturally the number one warrior in the necromantic forces. ”
It turns out that his subordinates are much better than the other Necromantic Kings! Qingyi Zhengle was happy with it, and suddenly reacted: in his own power, "Qingbi Dream" is a relatively popular product, since Schroder can sell it overseas...... Does that mean that the drawing of the "Soul Table" is a useless thing held by the sword soldiers? Take this kind of thing that others don't want as a task reward, Sroud, you can really tear off the skin!
After casually slapping into Schroeder Bray, Qingyi hurriedly rushed to the City Lord's Mansion with his subordinates, leaving only Fermat ("What? What do you call it? 'Fermat'? This is a godsend! I'm sure this big thing will sell for a good price! Mr. Fermat, I think you're much better than that Strom! ”)。 If abandoning the pawn to protect the car is considered unrighteous, Qingyi is now enthusiastic to be a unrighteous person.
————————————————————————————————————
"The City of Waiting", the Lord's Mansion, the Council Hall.
Participants were:
Necromantic courtesan, Clavisore;
Mother of Necromancy, Black Mother;
Necromantic spy expert, "omniscient" Oskol;
Necromancer, Jont;
Necromantic puppeteer, Saramonro;
Necromantic Alchemist, Strom;
Necromantic Teacher, Waltpole Cullen;
Necromantic Engineer, Master Patra.
"Everyone's here, right?" Qingyi stood up, faced Clavisoer, and applauded with a smile: "First of all, let's welcome Clavisol home!" ”
Clavisol stood up to the applause and nodded to her colleagues in a graceful manner. When her winkling eyes were thrown at Oskol, Oskol also replied fiercely with electric eyes, and the two eyes collided in the air, bursting with sparks called "ambiguous". Seeing this situation, Qingyi couldn't help but think of one word: dog man and woman. Because it was rude to think so, he immediately shook his head again.
("Wow, this pair of dogs and men ......" Xue Duo snorted)
"Ahem, then we welcome our new colleagues - Umu and Oskol! Give us a round of applause and let them introduce themselves, shall we? Qingyi waved his hand again and motioned for the two of them to stand up.
After entering the room, Wumu took off her black top hat, and Qingyi could clearly see her face. Her hair was beautiful white blonde, tied in long braids, and then coiled into a spiral bun on her head, leaving only two strands of sideburns hanging down, which was very classically elegant; Her face is a melon seed face, her moth eyebrows are lightly swept away, and her eyes are like dew drops on a cold night; Because no lipstick is applied, the lips are slightly pale and even more delicate. When she glanced at everyone coldly, the feeling of resistance mixed with a sense of weakness made others want to protect her.
She said, "Hello. ”
Everyone said: "Hello ......"
Then she sat down again. There was silence in the chamber.
(Xue Duo cried: "How cold this atmosphere is!") ”)
The beautiful man Oskol stood up at the right time, smiled and saluted Qingyi. He, on the other hand, seems to be able to integrate into any team or group right away, and then become the central figure of the group. He said to everyone: "Hello everyone, the contemptible person is Oskol, and everyone can call them contemptible oaks." ”
Qingyi lost his mind for a moment at this moment. He suddenly remembered St. Augustine, the captain of the Salamonro Royal Guard, and that guy's nickname was "Oak".
"After Your Majesty, we have another little white face here!" Waltpole Cullen whistled and grimaced at Oskol.
"At a glance, you can tell that you are a veteran of the love field~" Claviso didn't believe in evil, and fired at Oscol like a machine gun.
When Oskol sat down, Qingyi said to Master Patra: "The nursery room required by Wumu, as well as Oskol's Central Intelligence Agency, are both near-term tasks, I hope you can supervise them and complete them as soon as possible." ”
"Old decay naturally understands." Master Patra nodded to himself.
"Ah, by the way, there are also this ...... 'Cavalry Training Ground' and 'Soul Calling Platform', can you take a look?" Qingyi fumbled in the storage bag and handed the two drawings to Master Patra. But Master Patra frowned as soon as he took it. Qingyi couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"Your Majesty, one of them is a drawing of the 'Cavalry Training Ground', but the other one is not the 'Soul Altar', but the 'Sunset Shadow Altar'!"
"What?" Qingyi hurriedly snatched it back and found that the properties of the drawings were completely different.
Sunset Altar: The headquarters of the Cult of Dusk, known as the "Place of Dialogue with the Gods", where you can communicate with the gods and receive help from the past. Recruit one Necro creature per month without any conditions (5% chance of heroic, 30% chance of high, and 65% chance of intermediate). In the Altar of Sunset, summon skill level +5. In the city where the altar is located, clergy of the Twilight Sect can get a 30% bonus to all attributes. Increases the prosperity of the city by 50, increases the population limit by 20%, and increases the popularity by 70. Requires 3 Scourge Banners, 30 Wood Units, 30 Marble Units, 50 Soul Gems, and 5 Twilight Cult Clergy (1 for Senior Clergy). A unique building that cannot be built repeatedly.
Prop deduction? That's great! Compared to the previous attribute, the value of this new drawing is more than double! And the materials are more than enough! Qingyi happily handed the drawings back to Master Patra, and then remembered the matter, cleared his throat, and said, "Xiaowei, report your itinerary." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
