"Daddy, let go. That's what I'm going to talk about next! Let go, it hurts! Pain! ”

Old Tom's hand strength was not small, which made Fang Qiuling grin and cry out in pain.

If a master of the peak rank of Black Iron wants to have a heart, it is easy to break a person's arm. Although at least half of it is a joke now, it is not really hands-on, but it is really painful to be restrained by such a backhand!

"Okay." Old Tom pouted, and then let Fang Qiuling go, "You say, what's the situation?" ”

Obviously, he also knew very well that if Fang Qiuling was unwilling to say it, coercion would have no effect. The aristocracy has the pride and integrity of the nobility and does not succumb to simple threats and coercion. If you want the nobles to spit out something, you generally have to have enough benefits to exchange!

Fang Qiuling threw a document to Old Tom with his backhand, and then rubbed his wrist.

Eliza on the side was suddenly heartbroken.

"Daddy, how can you bully Brother Thulik, it's not right, it's not good."

"Go, go. Adults talking, children don't interject. ”

Old Tom's mouth was crooked, and his attitude was not good. It's like driving away disobedient bear children.

"Humph!"

Eliza's little face suddenly bulged again.

- Treat people like children again! I'm not a kid anymore!

The document in hand was a land transfer agreement, which stated that the Temple of Notos in Lakesprings would transfer the Agarwar Valley to the Norn family for a hundred years for a period of one hundred years.

"The ownership of the land in the Agarwal Valley has always been in the hands of the Temple of Notos. According to the laws of the kingdom, Eliza and her village should be counted as members of the temple. De jure, half of the village's output must be handed over to the temple as an offering. ”

Old Tom was looking at the paperwork at a glance, and when he heard Fang Qiuling say this, he suddenly raised his head angrily and glanced at him.

The temple was the largest landowner in Karthas outside of the royal family, and the elder Tom was more or less aware of the rules in this regard. As a member of the temple, it is only natural that half of the output be turned over as an offering. However, if half of the money is paid, it is estimated that two-thirds of the residents of the Agarwar Valley will go hungry. When the snow covers the mountains in winter, or when there is a shortage of green and yellow between spring and summer, it is not an accident that people starve to death.

"100,000 gold coins, where did you get it?"

"Discounted with something seized from the underpass."

100,000 gold coins is not a small amount, and even if you pack up and sell all the inhabitants of the Agarwar Valley, you can't sell it for this price. However, compared with the land use right of 100 years, this price seems quite conscientious.

There are no special terms in the instrument, just an assignment agreement. Since there is no transfer of ownership of the land, there is no title deed. There wasn't much the Norn family could do after acquiring this land, and they could build a manor as a place to settle down, and by the way, develop the land around the manor. However, judging from the less abundant produce in the valley, it seems that there will not be a good profit.

As for wanting to build a castle, this is not allowed. As long as they have the right to use the land, the nobles can build manors, but if they want to build castles, they can only build them in their own territory. Even if the landowner is not there, the heraldic house will come to the door and order the demolition.

"Huh? Did you make a fortune in the underground passages? Those skeleton shelves actually hide a lot of gold coins? ”

This time, Lily explained: "Mr. Hadner, it's not that you're rich, but you've found a lot of ...... Lots of contraband. ”

"Contraband?"

"Yes, contraband, a lot." Lily gestured with her hand, "A lot of things are about 'life and death transitions', and the research on this is very, very cruel, very, very evil. No one is allowed to possess or acquire this knowledge, not at all! ”

Fang Qiuling spread his hands on the side: "So all my loot was confiscated, and nothing was left for me." ”

"Viscount Norne, this is for your own good. To prevent you from going down that path of no return! ”

Pastor Ed's voice floated over.

"Cut, I want you to take care of ......"

Fang Qiuling secretly compared a middle finger, and his secret rubbing action immediately attracted Lily's thrashing. It doesn't take much to make him honest at once.

"Madam Moghley swapped one of his loot for something else. He said no, and then went around and around, and got a document like this. ”

"And then he sent a watchman to follow, as if he was afraid that I would do this kind of research." Speaking of this, Fang Qiuling suddenly felt a little indignant

The materials and finished products in the Undead Research Laboratory are undoubtedly a rare gift to the wizards of the necromantic system. Research on the transition between life and death is one of the most important. However, for Fang Qiuling, these materials have no value. On the one hand, Fang Qiuling was not a researcher of the Necromancy School, nor was he even a wizard, so it was completely useless to get this information in his hands. On the other hand, the study of the transformation of life and death is "too tasteful", Fang Qiuling is from the present world, and is undoubtedly a member of the "Appearance Association", so he directly refuses!

As for what the research direction of the Undead Research Laboratory was, Fang Qiuling said that even if he didn't see all the materials confiscated by the temple, he could guess. There are so many zombies outside the research room, many of them have obvious traces of transformation, and you can directly see the suspicion from this - a virus strain similar to Resident Evil, or a special symbiotic life form after different species are grafted with each other, or it may be a special product after the brain consciousness is extracted and injected into the synthetic body......

It is not surprising that there are countless fantasies and assumptions in the science fiction stories of the present world. It can be said that as long as there are enough high-level spellcasters to continue to cooperate, Fang Qiuling can start magic research for the purpose of creating the "living dead" without any research materials, and it can be started immediately.

It's nothing more than a brain hole, more than imagination. The world has entered the information age, and it is several streets away from Elune in terms of innovation and ingenuity. It's so easy to combine the scientific knowledge of the world with Elune's magical knowledge and produce some research results or something!

"Viscount Norne, this is for your own good. So that you may be on the right path and not be tempted by evil. ”

Pastor Ed is undoubtedly the "watcher" in Fang Qiuling's words. But Pastor Ed was not angry at all, and he didn't care at all, whatever you said.

"The dignified temple of Notos doesn't even have a few small coins, so you can only fool me with this kind of thing. Haven't you allowed me to say a few words to express my dissatisfaction? ”

"This ...... Viscount Norn, you are free, you are happy. ”

Pastor Ed's attitude now is even more straightforward, like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. He himself also thought that the temple was doing quite badly this time, and it was inevitable that Fang Qiuling would have opinions.

……

Gunifa slapped the lich with a large pie, and quickly turned out a small sarcophagus broken into more than a dozen pieces from the lich's sternum. The small sarcophagus is made of obsidian, and after being identified, it is supposed to be the lich's lifebox. Pukelt Charlton Rice had just completed the Lich Ritual and had not had time to separate the life box from the main body, so he temporarily hid the life box in the hard sternum. However, he didn't expect to meet Gunifa, who slapped him down and directly served him to a nest.

After killing the Lich and destroying the life box, the "Underground Passage Strategy Team" can be regarded as having completed its mission and can go home. However, the situation of the "Raiders Group" is not very good, one person is killed, one person is betrayed, Ms. Mogre uses the power obtained by the advent technique to retreat and falls into a coma directly, the male paladin also faints because of excessive consumption, and Pastor Ed has fainted before he has not woken up. Lily is in the best condition, but the effects of the energy potion are gradually showing up, leaving her weak and basically incapacitated.

Fang Qiuling was hit hard in the chest and abdomen, and after a series of first aids such as healing scrolls and holy water, his injuries were controlled, but his activities were not very convenient and he could barely stand up.

After resting for a while, Fang Qiuling arrested Gunifa here, and after some "coercion and temptation", Gunifa reluctantly agreed to make a cameo appearance on the mount. Then a man and a dog, plus Lily, who had to follow along, the dog, the man, and the woman went deeper into the underground passage.

Shino was going to stagger and try to chase after him. However, seeing that Sino was not very good, Fang Qiuling directly ordered her to rest in place, and then the white-haired little cat girl was born.

"Hey! You're like this now, and you're going to go down? ”

"Yes, that's right! Go make a little money. ”

"Make a little money? There is nothing else here but zombies, what is the wealth? ”

Lily is a little rich woman, and she has basically never worried about money problems. In addition, as a paladin, the daily food and lodging are generally in the temple, and there is no opportunity to spend money, and then the feeling of money is extremely indifferent. Now she suddenly heard Fang Qiuling say "make a little money", which suddenly made her feel a little fresher.

"Didn't the dead lich just say that this is the undead's research room. Since it's a research room, there's definitely something good going in there. I'm going to rob the rich and give to the poor. ”

"Robbing the rich and helping the poor......" Lily felt that Fang Qiuling's understanding of the word "robbing the rich and helping the poor" was inherently wrong, "This can also be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor?" ”

"Of course, why not?" Fang Qiuling's words of course made Gunifa also turn his head, "I, Viscount Norn, am I a poor person, right?" ”

"Where are you poor!"

"I'm definitely poorer than the undead who built the lab here. So robbing the 'rich' and helping the 'poor', is there a problem? ”

“…… No problem, please. ”

During the conversation, we came to the wall at the end of the small square. Lily was looking around for the entrance, only to see Fang Qiuling patting her hand on the wall, and a simple magic array appeared on the wall. I didn't understand how Fang Qiuling operated it, and the secret door on the wall opened with the sound of a "click" mechanism, and a miserable green light suddenly flowed out of the room.

When you look inside from the door, you can see large transparent columns filled with liquid. There seems to be furniture such as tables and chairs in the depths of the room.

"Oh, not here. Let's go, the next one. ”

Fang Qiuling knew at a glance that this was the "sample display room" of the research room.

The liquid in the large column is a preservative liquid similar to "formalin", and it is soaked in the "technical verification product" that has breakthrough results after the test has entered a certain turning point. These "technical demonstrators" have very special abilities, and the strength of their abilities is often inversely proportional to their appearance, and "ugly" is already the kind of praise that is praised. If it's not necessary, it's better not to have a photo with them.

Of course, it's not because it's ugly that you don't visit it, the main reason is that God knows if the sample soaked in the embalming liquid is really "dead" or has entered "fake death". After approaching the rear samples, the samples began to become active, this scene is not uncommon in the stories of biochemical disasters, Fang Qiuling didn't plan to be curious, and then accidentally released one, and then was chased and killed all the way.

Not killed by the lich, but died in the hands of this "technical verification product", if this behavior is to be described in words, then "brain-dead" should be the best adjective!

In the game, there is a hidden boss hidden in this room. The refresh rate is about 20 percent, and you can see it once in five times on average. In order to avoid this one-fifth situation, it is better to close the secret door first. Oh, by the way, not only do you have to close the door, but you also have to activate the ban outside the door!

Next room ...... Library.

Everywhere you look, there are bookshelves, and the shelves are full of books.

"Wow!"

Lily let out a small exclamation.

A giant spider is lying at the entrance of the gate. The spider has long claws like a sickle, and its two pairs of compound eyes emit the light of the surrounding magical light spots, which are both hideous and terrifying.

But...... The spider's belly was torn apart, revealing the intricate circle and part of the mechanical structure within. It was clearly not a real creature, but a magical construct in the form of a spider. At this moment, it may be because the maintenance man has not had time to put it back on and leave first, or maybe it is because ......

"Whew...... Scared the hell out of me. ”

"It scared the hell out of me, too."

Whoever opens the door and sees a huge spider lying in the doorway will be startled.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?"

"No, no......"

Lily would be interested in finding a few more scripts inside, but the spider at the door was still very intimidating, even if it couldn't move. After thinking about it for a while, let's forget it.

The door to the library doesn't need to be closed, and it is estimated that a few people outside will be interested in coming to play in a while.

Fang Qiuling immediately opened the next secret door.

- Hey, this is the room!

Pushing open the secret door, a golden room appeared in front of you - the Golden Jade Throne.

The décor in the room is all gold, whether it's the wall hangers or the desk furnishings, everything is as golden as possible. Occasionally, there are a few items that are not gold, and they also have gold veins on them as decorations.

"Wow!"

Lily exclaimed again. But this time it's not because I'm frightened, it's because I'm sighing!

Even a little rich woman who is not short of money will sigh when she sees this golden light in her eyes.

"It's not all made of gold, is it?"

"Of course...... Not exactly. ”

"Not exactly! That is, most of them? ”

"Well, most of them."

The woman's personality is similar to that of a dragon in many ways, such as the fact that she can't move her legs when she sees something shiny. Fang Qiuling immediately saw that little stars began to pop out of Lily's eyes.

The little stars are one by one, and no matter how you look at them, they are exactly the same as the shape of the gold coin.
