Chapter 13 Expansion

The necromancer has returned from the mines!

By the time Jenn came to Brandon Stone again, the news had spread throughout the city like a bird with wings. By the time Kadek gasped and ran to the city gate, Jenn had already entered the gate under the "escort" of the guards.

Khadek gasped at the sight of Jenn, but his little sly eyes just swept around, and the next moment the gray dwarf consul immediately calmed down. He slowed his pace, spread his hands high, and strode forward like their hospitable distant relatives.

"Oh, mage, you're finally back. Look at the way you guys, it's all smooth! ”

Under the watchful eyes of the other gray dwarves, Kadek spoke loudly as he walked over to Jenn's side. He forced himself to suppress his fear, trying to make himself look like a qualified "Archon of Brandon Stone". For this reason, he had to show his attitude towards the mage in front of his own people, not too respectful, and not too low-voiced.

One qiē is all under control.

"Sleeping in the depths of the mausoleum is a brain-eating demon."

Jenn didn't say much about Kadek's rudeness, he hooked his fingers as he spoke. Then, the mercenaries standing behind Jenn strode forward and opened one of the cloth bags they were carrying. Soon, amid the exclamations of the grey dwarves watching around them, a blood-stained beak taller than the grey dwarves poured out of it and fell to the ground.

"We've 'cleaned' the entire mausoleum, and now you shouldn't be in any danger of mining there."

"Oh, that's great........."

Hearing the good news brought by Jenn, Kadek also smiled with joy. You know, this mine is the biggest bet he has made, if he can successfully mine the silver there. Kadek would then be the richest gray dwarf in all of Brandon Rock, so that he would not only be able to keep his precarious position as consul, but also take the opportunity to wipe out those who dared to peek into his position and power.

Speaking of this, Kadek still felt a little pity. After all, according to Jenn, the valuable things in that mausoleum were probably taken away by this necromancer. The gray dwarf consul didn't know that Jenn was also quite depressed at the moment. Because this time in that ghost tomb, Jenn didn't get any benefit at all.

Enoa possesses a psychic ability to dig out the secrets he wants to hide from the depths of other people's souls. That's why he didn't pay attention to the idiot. As a result, after Enoa stole Langdon's secret, Jenn was depressed and realized that he had done it for nothing this time.

I have to admit that this Langdon is indeed very thoughtful, and he knows from his soul that this guy found several hidden places when he was alive, and sealed and buried all his remaining wealth. He also knew that the dark underground was very dangerous, so in order to avoid those outsiders, he simply hid on the surface. When he succeeds in turning into a lich, it's not too late to come up and get it.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if he fails to change jobs, he can hide his soul in his diary, and if anyone is unlucky enough to be possessed by him, he can also use those things as bait to lure the other party to the surface.

That's a lot of ideas......... Now Jenn suspects that this Langdon was killed because he was too thoughtful......... The place where the treasure was buried, Enoa, had been dug up from Langdon's soul, but the problem was that those things were all on the surface, and Jenn couldn't even take care of the dungeon now, how could he run to the surface?

Now Jenn's only good fortune is that he didn't accept the goods, otherwise it would be a fool to have such a "particularly thoughtful" subordinate around him......... Presumably, Langdon's former companions were all killed by his "thoughts".

"Without your help, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to start mining again, and we've got a feast in place......... Ahem......! ”

Kadek didn't notice Jenn's frustration, but still enthusiastically extended the invitation there. It's just that before he finished his words, he was choked by the bloody breath that came to his face and coughed loudly. This made him glare at the two orc mercenaries disapprovingly, but before Kadek could express his anger again, his eyes widened in horror.

Before seeking Jenn's help, Kadek had also been in contact with Vilna's mercenary group, and naturally knew these mercenaries led by the dark elves. But now, what appeared in front of him was no longer the mercenaries who looked well-trained, but the corpses that could walk. Their blue skin and eyes that had completely lost their lifeless color, and their eyes were wrapped in darkness——— they were now completely lifeless, and they had become one of the undead.

Seeing this, Kadek shuddered, and he pretended to turn his head and looked in Vilna's direction. But the dark elf didn't say anything about what happened to her men. On the contrary, she also stood behind Jenn like a slave, looking dejected.

The stone is on top!

Kadek hurriedly withdrew his gaze, he didn't know what had happened in the mines. But now it is already clear that the half-dark elf, who is always verbose but has great ambitions, has finished up with her mercenary group. Now they were nothing more than minions and lackeys of the necromancer.

Thinking of this, Kadek swallowed his saliva and forcibly suppressed his heartbeat. It's not that the grey dwarves haven't done treacherous deeds, and in fact merchants who aren't smart enough and clever enough will soon pay for their stupidity when they leave Brandon Stone. But the necromancer is obviously more terrible in this regard, he will not only torture your **, but also imprison your soul.

Not even the evil Grey Dwarves can compare to it.

Originally, Kadek had hoped to be able to trick Jenn into giving up part of his remuneration through guò rhetoric, but now he no longer had the heart to do so. No matter how important money is, you have to have a life to spend it, not to mention that there is such a dazzling vein waiting for you!

"Of course, mage, we grey dwarves have always been trustworthy in our business, and rest assured that we have prepared a perfect stalactite pillar for you, which is located in the heart of Brandon Stone, where ........."

"I don't need you to prepare it for me."

Before Kadek could say anything more, Jenn had already raised his hand and interrupted him.

"You just need to give me the vacant lot east of Brandon Stone, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

"The clearing to the east?"

Hearing Jenn's words, Kadek was stunned for a moment. Of course, he knew about the clearing east of Brandon Stone, where there was originally a vein of rich Mithril. However, it was dug up 80 years ago. As a result, the mining farm after mining was completely abandoned. Because it faces the cliff, backs to the mountain wall, and is outside the protected area of Brandon Rock, there are few people on weekdays. Except for a narrow stone path, it is completely isolated from the rest of the world.

Kadek hadn't thought about it, but in retrospect, it was a good place for a necromancer. There, he didn't have to worry about the danger that the mage was out of control would bring to Brandon Stone, and at the same time, he was able to use Jenn's power to protect Brandon Stone, and now it seemed that the necromancer meant the same thing.

"Of course that's fine, mage!"

A series of years flashed through the gray dwarf archon's mind like lightning, and the next moment he spoke loudly as if a generous king was treating his courtiers.

"You can take ownership of it now, and I'll let the entire population of Brandon Stone know where the warrior who helped us solve the problem is. I can assure you that they will have as much respect for you as I do. ”

"Of course."

In the face of Kadek's passionate speech, Jenn nodded lukewarmly, but his next sentence immediately made the gray dwarf archon, who was still quite proud, wilt.

"Now, I think we should talk a little bit about the part you promised me before."

As time passed, Brandon Rock became quiet again. Most of the people had returned to their safe and comfortable nests, discussing the news brought by the mage, and falling into wonderful dreams. Although they are more greedy and evil than their distant relatives, the Grey Dwarves are also dwarves, and nothing is more satisfying and exciting for them than mining priceless ore by hand.

But this was meaningless to Jenn, who was standing in the open space east of Brandon Stone, quietly staring at the dark abyss not far in front of him. Beside him, Vilna and a few other mercenaries who had been transformed into undead by the banshees stood motionless, guarding ten underground lizards laden with ore and cargo.

These underground lizards are the only means used to transport goods deep underground, they are docile and obedient, with hard skin that can resist sword slashes, and sharp claws that can also pierce through rocks, pulling the ground for stability. Their large and low size not only makes them good mounts, but also allows them to carry enough cargo.

Originally, Kadek and Jenn agreed on the cargo of eight lizards, but Jenn said very "righteously" that Vilna's mercenary group also played a considerable role in this process. Because according to the agreement between the two parties, Kadek must also give her the remuneration he had negotiated with Vilna.

Kadek also knew that Jenn was blatantly blackmailing, after all, now that Werner seemed to be completely Jenn's lackey, the gray dwarf was not stupid enough to fulfill his obligations for a lost dog. But what about Kadek?

Eventually, the grey dwarf archon resigned himself and added two more lizards to Jenn. He managed to secure his position, but he wasn't interested in the idea of being in the company of the walking corpses behind the necromancer. Although this is very unfair, this is the dark region——— the strong are king. Here, strength is the law, death is punishment, and beyond that, there is nothing else.

Jenn looked up and glanced at Verna not far away, the dark elf hadn't said a word to herself since she woke up again. But Jenn knew what she was thinking, and he didn't feel the slightest guilt about having fallen into the dark elf's minions into the undead, which was the way the dark people lived. Jenn believed that if she showed her tiredness in front of the dark elf, she would be happy to pierce her heart with a sword.

Anyway, now that he had a qualified military expert, the Dark Elves were well-known in the Demon Realm for their fighting skills, and they were ingenious in the way they trained their warriors. Judging from the fact that Verna was able to train both orcs and bear goblins into warriors, Jenn didn't think his choice was a loss.

"Enoa."

Thinking of this, Jenn withdrew his thoughts, and then he softly called out his lieutenant's name.

"What time is it?"

Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Enoa took out her pocket watch and looked at it again, then replied.

"Eleven:58, master. I think they're almost there. ”

"They've arrived."

Jenn nodded in satisfaction at Enoa's answer, and then he turned his head to look at the stone wall beside him.

"Click......... Click..............."

A slight sound came from behind the solid rock, drifting through the dark cavern for a moment before disappearing completely. But Jenn knew that wasn't the point.

The originally hard and smooth stone wall began to bulge little by little like a balloon, and the gravel on the surface began to fall off, followed by the stones below, and the sound of the mining hoe digging and knocking became louder and louder, and the cave wall in front of me began to shake incessantly.

Eventually, with a "bang", the stone wall was completely shattered, and a human-high cave appeared in front of Jenn. In the scattered dust, a short figure was excitedly waving a mining hoe and making a "quack" cry.

Seeing it appear, a smile flashed in Jenn's eyes.

The first step in the conquest of the Northland has finally begun.
