As we all know, the speed of infection and transformation of the oil is not fixed, but can be fast or slow depending on the changes in the target and environment.
Generally speaking, for worlds with balanced and abundant five-color mana or powerful gods, the infection rate tends to be relatively slow, and there is a possibility of being completely eliminated.
In very few worlds, something will be produced that has a restraining effect on Shuo Oil.
The most typical example is the plane of Dominarnia, which was invaded several times by Old Phyrexia but remained safe in the end;
There is also the Kaldheim dimension, which has a background similar to Norse mythology.
The former relies on the abundance and balance of mana, coupled with the legacy of two ancient magic civilizations, which makes it impossible for the sparkling oil to easily corrode the core of the world.
The latter possesses the world tree and gods that can be connected to the dark void.
In particular, the God of the World Tree, Eshika, can create a liquid called Cosmic Nectar, which can make all creatures that have used it temporarily immune to the effects of the Shocking Oil.
Of course, in addition to the cosmic nectar, there are many specialties from time and space in this universe that can fight against the sparkling oil.
For example, Capena’s “Golden Circle” is a special energy extracted from the bodies of angels in that world.
There are also some creatures shaped by powerful forces that can even drink the oil as a beverage without any problems.
In short, there are many factors that determine the speed of oil infection.
But generally speaking, metal, machinery and undead creatures are the most susceptible to infection.
This is also the reason why the Mirrodin plane fell completely in such a short period of time.
In comparison, it is more difficult to infect and transform those creatures that have flesh and blood and whose bodies are filled with amazing green natural energy.
There is no doubt that the floating city of Mutahal is almost entirely populated by undead creatures and constructs, making it an ideal target for infection.
So it didn't take long before the interior of the huge city base was filled with proliferating black shiny oil.
As for those undead creatures, they were covered with thick and solid metal shells during the transformation process.
Some have also grown high-tech prosthetics such as electronic eyes, multifunctional mechanical arms, sharp blade tentacles that can cut people into pieces, and metal tails that can release high-voltage currents.
The magic heavy artillery and electromagnetic cannon have grown lower limbs that can move at will, and can be quickly moved to any corner of the floating city as needed.
The most important thing is that all the beauties collected in the diary have now undergone a series of transformations, presenting a cyberpunk flavor.
Especially for many vampires, their bodies have been covered, transformed, and strengthened with metal materials to varying degrees.
Although this did not weaken their strength, it greatly enhanced their combat effectiveness.
But those weird mechanical limbs, organs and special structures are enough to make people feel creepy.
Countless strategic materials stored in warehouses and garbage and waste that were ready to be thrown away have now been reused by Shuoyou, creating tens of thousands of non-human constructs out of thin air.
Some of them are small robots as flexible as insects and octopuses, while others are bionic flapping-wing robots that look like dragonflies and are used for reconnaissance and communication.
In addition, there are many super-large and even super-giant creations.
The Skeleton Warriors and Grave Knights, who are the main force of the army, are now all wearing heavy armor that can withstand the impact of crossbows, and the outside of their bones is filled with complex metal support and linkage structures.
With the power provided by the oil engine, they are now a highly efficient killing machine.
Countless pipelines extend from the high towers covered with broken magic crystals, storing the energy collected every day into the huge rock base under the city.
What's even more terrifying is that the rock on the base below is crystallizing at an unimaginable speed, taking on a structure similar to that of a magic crystal tower.
It goes without saying that Shuoyou is transforming the entire floating city into an enlarged version of the artifact - Crenshinibon, which is also an extremely terrifying super energy storage device.
At this moment, the floating city of Mutahar is like a black hole with infinite gravity, absorbing all the sunlight from the sky and forming a visual effect similar to an "accretion disk".
The sea surface for hundreds of kilometers below presented a dark doomsday scene.
Obviously, when the light from the sun fell on this planet, all the energy that entered this range was captured and absorbed by the floating city, so it became what it is now.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the location where the Mutahar floating city was docked was far away from the land and areas where human civilization was active, so it did not cause any panic.
It’s just that the temperature of the sea surface is dropping rapidly because of the lack of sunlight.
If this continues for a long time, it will inevitably form an ultra-low temperature frozen area, which will have a certain impact on the environment and climate of the entire world.
The high-level undead who were gathering in the polar region and controlling several other floating cities were the first to notice the abnormality here and immediately sent people over to figure out the situation.
But before they could get close, they were instantly killed by the terrifying firepower network, and even their bodies and bones were blown into fragments and dust.
To be precise, they only saw through remote observation magic that the strange magic crystal towers in the floating city of Mutahar suddenly burst into a light that was ten thousand times more dazzling than the sun.
Then everything in sight turned white and nothing could be seen clearly.
When the light disappeared, all the undead creatures turned into tiny particles that were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye and drifted away with the wind.
As for what kind of magic or weapons the other party used, I have no idea.
Remember that the unknown is the source of all fear!
When they realized that the enemy possessed some terrifying power that could easily destroy them, these undead creatures immediately used heavy ice blocks to lock themselves under the huge polar ice surface, completely isolating themselves from all contact with the outside world and even giving up the advantage of the several floating cities that could fly.
It's nothing, I was just simply scared.
However, they did not know that in fact all this was just the self-defense system of the Mutahar floating city being activated when it detected a threat approaching, that was all.
As for the supreme ruler of the core of the floating city, the Diary, who had just woken up, was standing in front of the mirror in the hall of the central tower, staring at his current image in amazement, with his mouth wide open and unable to utter a word for a long time.
The reason is simple! His wish to regain his manliness was fulfilled, but the result was a little different from what he expected.
Because functionally speaking, this guy was indeed given the ability to reproduce by Shuoyou.
But the problem is that this tool is now thirty meters long, and each of its split tentacle is as thick as an arm. When combined together, they are thicker than the waist circumference of an adult man weighing over 200 kilograms.
What’s even more terrible is that the triangular metal scales covering the tentacles are extremely sharp.
Even if you stab someone in the body, it will tear them to pieces from the inside.
Of course, the transformation is not limited to the lower body.
The upper body and other parts also show very obvious alienation.
But the diary couldn't care about anything else at this moment. It could only stare at the sharp tentacles with tears in its eyes, grumbling with gritted teeth: "Fuck! Although I prefer watching movies about tentacle monsters and beautiful girls, the problem is that I don't want to become a tentacle monster!
And this tentacle is so dangerous, how can I play with it in the future? Do I have to get some mechanical beauties made entirely of metal?
The most important thing is how to wear pants after this?"
Unfortunately, no one could answer the questions he raised.
Including those vampire beauties who had been completely transformed, they were all watching this scene with slightly terrified eyes, fearing that they would become the first victims and be directly pierced and dismembered by the sharp sword.
Just when the diary was starting to get a little crazy and was considering whether to cut it off or try to modify it, Zuo Si, who was waiting to see the joke, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said with a playful expression on his face: "Hey! Big stud, what's wrong with you? Did you use too much force?"
"Damn it! Stop making sarcastic remarks! Help me find a solution! What the hell is going on?"
The diary rolled its eyes crazily and waved its tentacles to destroy everything around it to vent its inner frustration.
"It's very simple! This new type of oil is made from divine power and divine blood.
When the target is being transformed, it will be affected to a certain extent by the target's own spirit and will.
In other words, your mind was full of obscene thoughts and primitive desires at the time, which caused the oil to greatly strengthen the part of your body that you desired most.
So this is all your own fault.
How about it, are you surprised or not?"
Since there were no outsiders present, Zuo Si did not leave any face for the diary, and every word contained strong irony.
Obviously, when he handed the oil to the other party, he had already roughly predicted the result, but he deliberately did not say it out loud.
As a carrier of the original memory and some of its thoughts, the diary keenly sensed the undisguised gloating in its owner's eyes, and immediately put on a dead pig-like attitude and asked back: "So what do you say we should do now?
Don't tell me you were just going to watch me wander around.
Anyway, I have no shame and don’t care about anything. The worst that can happen is that I will just die socially.
As long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
But you are different..."
What a fellow! Zuo Si exclaimed, What a fellow!
He originally came here just to laugh at the joke, but he never expected that the diary could actually turn around and threaten him.
This is a living example of what it means that a tree without bark is doomed to die and a person without bark is invincible.
However, the diary obviously knows that threats and intimidation alone are not enough to deal with its owner.
After making a lot of nonsense, he immediately came close to me, forced out a flattering smile and begged, "Please help me, brother, because I will never betray you! I promise that as long as this problem is solved, no matter what you ask me to do in the future, I will definitely not hesitate and will give 100% of my effort."
"Remember what you said today. Here, take it."
Zuo Si threw over a circular device that he had prepared in advance.
The diary hurriedly caught it steadily, and when he was trying to figure out how to use it, a sharp rotating blade suddenly popped out from the side, and cut off the roots of several tentacles at lightning speed, and absorbed the broken tentacles in at an extremely fast speed, eventually turning it into a weapon that could be controlled by the owner.
As a guy who has long been dehumanized, Diary has obviously thrown all the things like propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame behind him, and doesn't care about other people's opinions at all.
Immediately pounced on the female vampires who had undergone complete transformation.
Before long, an X-rated drama was staged in the lobby of the central tower of the entire floating city.
Needless to say, this oil transformation tool was made overnight by Jinji Tasha, the blue magic judge of the Mirrodin time and space.
As a cutting-edge scientific research talent, since embracing Xinshuo Oil and joining Zuo Si, he has been like a fish in water, living in endless surprises every day.
With the influx of knowledge, technology, and magic from other worlds, creative inspiration has never stopped.
They even successfully created a swarm of gathering bees based on the structure of the light moth, a native creature of the Mirrodin time and space.
These new Phyrexian creations can create a special liquid energy by absorbing the energy emitted by the five-color mana sun like the light moth.
And this liquid energy, with just a little bit of alchemy processing, can be transformed into an extremely terrifying strengthening potion.
No matter who it is, as long as they drink the potion, they can immediately gain superhuman speed, strength, reaction and vision for a short period of time.
It felt as if the time around me suddenly slowed down.
The stronger your original physical fitness, the stronger this all-round improvement effect will be.
This potion not only works on living creatures, but also allows undead and constructs to gain the same power.
Once the energy is exhausted, everything will return to normal in an instant.
Because of its widespread use and lack of any side effects, this thing was widely used during Monarch's rule over Mirrodin.
It’s just that at that time, the people of Mirrodin relied on catching light moths to extract energy.
Now, Jinjitaxia can harvest a large amount every day thanks to its huge colony of collecting bees, and it is also developing new potions based on the effects produced by different proportions of mana.
For him, who possesses the most powerful technical capabilities, making a small device to solve hidden dangers is not a problem at all.
If necessary, this guy can even disassemble and transform a fully-developed New Phyrexian creature into a state where the creature itself can't even recognize it.
Seeing that the problem had been satisfactorily solved, Zuo Si was obviously not interested in messing around with the diary.
After leaving him the order to cooperate with Shane VII to transfer the players to another world and establish a psychic conduction system and a corresponding casting environment in that world, he directly cast a teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
…
At the same time, far away in another world, Shane VII opened the box of the Traceless Stretching Spell and released a total of one thousand elite players with the highest professional level, the strongest combat power.
Since he is a planeswalker himself, and there are links to the land cards of the floating city of Plantia and the continent of Faerun, as long as these players do not walk out of the influence of the land cards, they can act normally and use their magical abilities.
Feeling the unfamiliar environment around them and the rich magical energy in the air, many people showed an eager expression.
However, the discipline and obedience they had developed over a long period of time prevented them from acting rashly. Instead, they turned their attention to Shane VII, a high-level NPC who was suspected to have appeared recently, and waited for the other party to make detailed explanations.
Some players even think that this should be a closed beta test for a new version of the expansion pack.
So everyone seemed very excited, thrilled and full of anticipation.
You have to know that in the previous world, they experienced firsthand what almost unlimited freedom meant, and they could basically do whatever they wanted.
As long as you don't violate the laws and rules set by the floating city, there is no problem even if you kill the leader of the faction, start a harem, plunder resources crazily, or directly change the course of history through technology.
Especially the feeling of pulling down those kings and nobles who were originally high and mighty and replacing them is simply awesome.
Some crazier guys even awakened the Minotaur attributes, and particularly liked to have sex with the wives, lovers, sisters, daughters, and even mothers of certain defeated male nobles in front of them.
Then, you can enjoy the other person's helpless and furious look and gain some twisted sense of satisfaction.
Although it cannot be said that there are no kind-hearted people among these players, the proportion is definitely not high.
Therefore, they are very eager to continue this unscrupulous style of doing whatever they want in the new world.
Others are trying to collect as much intelligence and make plans as possible before other players are allowed to enter this world in large numbers, so as to gain as much benefit as possible.
After all, just look at the luxurious equipment on these elite players and you will know what they have done to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire.
It is different from when you first entered, when even +1 magic weapons and equipment were considered rare items.
Nowadays, almost everyone has two or three pieces of +2 magic equipment, and some people even spend a lot of money to buy +3 ones.
As for amulets, belts, cloaks, boots, rings, gloves and wristbands, they all have magical effects.
Consumables that were originally unaffordable, such as potions, magic scrolls, magic wands, bottles of strong acid, and flaming glue, were all brought in without exception.
Among them, as the representative of the first echelon, the archbishop Jack, who has a face like an ancient god, is now a priest at level 17. Even in the continent of Faerun, he can be regarded as a well-known figure.
Of course, this is all thanks to his original armed missionary model and his achievements in almost uprooting the belief in the Seven Gods and the Old Gods in Westeros, converting tens of thousands of people to the Phoenix God - Bennu.
Converted into the game level of the Old Bone Tree World, it is around fifty-nine to sixty.
Although other elite players did not improve as fast as Jack, they were generally above LV14, which was equivalent to above level 49 to 50 in the Tree World game.
In this world, being able to reach level 30 is called the "hero realm", a threshold that only a very small number of geniuses can reach.
Therefore, these 1,000 elite players were a terrifying force that could destroy several countries! Not to mention the locals, even the low-level NPCs in the Great Tomb of Nazarick and the Pleiades battle maids wouldn't be able to get out alive.
Looking at this group of fully armed and high-spirited players, Sean VII showed a very satisfied expression on his face, and said in a slightly low voice: "I know you must be wondering why the floating city suddenly interrupted your adventure in another world, right?"
"Yes, it is quite strange. Can you explain it?"
A female player nodded in agreement.
"sure.
In fact, the reason why we suddenly called you together is that we have discovered an interesting world that requires a group of smart, professional and elite teams to investigate and explore it.
After saying that, Shane VII sent a signal to the main brain.
moment!
Almost all the players present squatted down with their hands on their foreheads, a trace of pain appeared on their faces, and they were obviously digesting the information that was suddenly instilled in them.
But there was only one person who was unmoved! That was Jack, who only had five intelligence points and could not learn any language at all, let alone receive any information from the main brain.
However, this burly combat priest was not panicked at all. Instead, he took out a handful of dried fruits and threw them one by one into the gap near the mouth of the fully enclosed helmet, then chewed them with a crunching sound.
因为他知道，周围几个被选中的兄弟们会处理好一切，自己只需要抡起战锤把所有敌人的脑袋敲碎即可。
大概几分钟之后，玩家们消化完了所有的信息，立刻便开始兴奋的讨论了起来。
“卧槽！虚拟游戏？穿越？未来世界的地球人？这尼玛是什么鬼剧情？”
“刺激！太刺激了！这么说咱们这次要跟来自平行地球的老乡干一架？”
“我不理解。这BOSS究竟算是NPC，还是跟我们一样的玩家？”
“不清楚。但我觉得这个世界的危险肯定要比上个世界强出不知道多少倍。”
“但同样的收获肯定也很大。别忘了这可是一个高魔世界，而且可能还会涉及到PVP。”
“嘿嘿！那还等什么，让我们快点开始探索这个世界吧。”
……
一时之间，在场所有的精锐玩家都变得兴奋不已，迫不及待想要给这个世界先来一点小小的“第四天灾”震撼。
夏恩七世见状立刻抬起胳膊摆出稍安勿躁的手势，紧跟着面带微笑的说道：“介于主角暂时还没有到来，我提前给你们一点时间来强化自身。
但是要特别注意，活动范围不要超过地图上的边界。
另外，为了不引起这个世界土著居民的警惕，你们需要暂时分散开行动，一队人最好不要超过二十个。
记住，一旦发现目标出现，先不要急着动手。
毕竟对方有一个强大的后勤基地，所以这一次普兰提亚浮空城也会参战。
我会亲自制定作战计划，以确保可以在瞬间给予对手毁灭性的重创。”
在说这番话的时候，夏恩七世的眼睛里闪烁着骇人的幽光，浑身上下更是散发出了他夏恩帝国皇帝的威严与气势。
“浮空城也会参战？哈哈哈哈！这回终于要玩一把大的了！”
一名亲眼目睹过巨兽级电磁炮将一栋大楼那么大的炮弹投送到战场时壮观景象的玩家，立刻忍不住发出了狂笑，并对敌人产生了一丝同情。
在他看来，以普兰提亚浮空城丧心病狂的火力，甭管纳萨力克大坟墓里究竟都藏了些什么，肯定会被炸的寸草不生。
很快，伴随着夏恩七世的一声令下，这些带着各种各样不同心情的玩家迅速原地解散，三五成群按照地图上给出的坐标，朝着附近的几个村庄和城镇进发。
他们的目的十分简单，那就是先找本地土著稍微打听一下情况，然后再决定究竟是成为士兵到战场上杀戮来获取经验值跟佣金，还是成为冒险者去危险的森林和荒野杀死怪物来获取这些东西。
看着这群渐渐远去彻底消失在密林之中的玩家，夏恩七世忍不住浮现出了玩味的笑容，用只有自己才能听见的声音喃喃自语到：“现在种子已经洒下，剩下的事情就是任由他们野蛮生长，看看最后究竟能结出什么样的果实。至于我，还是先去看看这个世界有多少有趣的魔法吧。”
伴随着最后一个字脱口而出，他整个人瞬间从原地消失，紧跟着便出现在王国都城——里·耶斯提杰一条不为人知的小巷里。
毫无疑问，这位强大半巫妖的目标是耸立在这座城市中心区域的法师公会总部。
尽管夏恩七世不认为一群按照费伦大陆等级计算，连施展四环乃至五环奥术魔法都吃力的家伙，能研究并创造出什么强大的法术。
但到了他这个等级的法师，任何一点灵感和新思路都是非常珍贵的。
所以看重的并不是魔法本身，而是魔法背后的想法跟理念。
不过还没等这位半巫妖从阴暗的小巷里走出去，就看到旁边一扇紧闭大门突然被打开，紧跟着一名十七八岁挺着大肚子的少女被两个男人十分粗暴的拽着头发强行拖出来。
她明显十分的恐惧，一直在哭泣、挣扎和哀求，似乎已经知道了自己即将面临的结局。
但两个身上遍布着伤痕跟刀疤的男人显然并不是什么怜香惜玉之辈，直接拔出锋利的匕首打算直接一尸两命痛死这个少女，然后把尸体肢解丢进垃圾桶处理掉。
在无比绝望之下，不知名的年轻孕妇只能把目光投向小巷内唯一的外人，似乎在祈求着这个陌生人能成为拯救自己的英雄。
当然，她知道这两个男人和他们背后的“八指”组织并不好惹，可能会给别人带来杀身之祸，因此并没有大喊大叫，只是单纯的期盼这是一名可以无视对方威胁的强者。
如果换成平时，以夏恩七世的冷酷与邪恶程度，肯定不会在乎一名年轻孕妇的死活。
但是现在，他刚好打算在这里暂时定居一段时间，所以需要一个本地向导来负责给自己带路、处理一些比较繁杂的日常事务。
就在两个男人冷笑着打算割开少女喉咙，看着对方在痛苦、无助下一点一点痛苦死去的刹那，一股无比恐怖的力量从天而降。
下一秒……
这两个可怜虫的灵魂就被强行剥离身体，瞬间被半巫妖捕获并吸纳进灵魂宝石之中。
不过由于该过程太快了，而且普通人也不一定能看得到灵魂，因此怀孕的少女只看到了要杀自己的两个男人突然之间扑通一声栽倒在地，紧跟着尸体以难以置信的速度开始崩解、腐烂、发臭，直至彻底化为尘土。
作为一个普通人，她那里见过这种场面，立刻被吓得连连后退靠着墙发出刺耳尖叫：“啊啊啊！！！！！！！！”
但遗憾的是，建筑里边的人还以为这是少女在临死前发出的哀嚎，所以并没有在意，更没有人出来查看情况。
等几秒钟之后搞清楚状况，她这才慌忙的捂住了嘴，用恐惧中带着感激的眼神注视着停下脚步的夏恩七世，大概一两分钟左右才鼓起勇气小心翼翼的试探道：“是……是您救了我吗？”
“不然还能有谁呢？”
夏恩七世面无表情的反问。
女孩紧张的吞了吞口水，继续追问道：“您为什么要这样做？又是用什么方法杀死那两个打手的？”
“救你的原因是我刚好需要一个本地的向导，杀死那两个白痴用的则是魔法的力量。”
说着，夏恩七世抬起手释放一团散发着阴冷气息的负能量。
“所以……您是一位强大的魔法吟唱者？”
在看到魔法能量之后，少女的眼神中瞬间充满了敬畏之色。
因为在这个世界，不管是魔法还是武技都意味着强大的超凡力量。
尤其是可以瞬间以悄无声息方式杀死两个一看就很强壮打手的魔法，绝对不可能是刚刚踏入这个领域的新手。
“呵呵，你的问题太多了，孩子。
有时候人知道太多并不意味着是件好事，同样也意味着将要面临巨大的风险， 所以我建议你最好克制住自己的好奇心，然后乖乖履行自己的职责。
毕竟我救了你，这样就意味着你的命现在归我了。
拿着这些钱，立刻出面替我雇佣或是买一辆马车，顺便再给自己买一身合体的衣物。
第一站我们要去法师公会总部。”
夏恩七世直接掏出一袋子这个世界的金币丢到少女的脚下，完全不给对方任何拒绝的机会。
当然，这位怀孕的少女也不敢拒绝。
因为她可是亲眼见到那两个要杀自己的打手是怎么死的，唯有咬着牙捡起沉重的钱袋，自动带入到女仆的角色中。
除了赤裸裸的死亡威胁之外，她之所以愿意听从夏恩七世的摆布，还有一个原因是渴望得到对方的庇护，以防止“八指”组织的杀手找上门来。
除此之外，夏恩七世身上那与生俱来的上位者气质，还有惯于发号施令的语气和神态，都让少女觉得这个看上去充满威严的中年大叔身份肯定不简单，说不定是王国的大贵族。
要是那样的话，能给对方当女仆反而是一件值得庆幸的事情。
就这样，惨遭犯罪组织控制被迫出卖身体导致怀孕的少女，半自愿的成为了恐怖半巫妖的仆从。
她根本没有意识到自己的主人是一个多么骇人听闻的怪物，甚至仅凭一己之力就能在这个世界上掀起腥风血雨和死亡。
不过跟某些完全丧失人性动不动就搞种族灭绝的神经病不同，夏恩七世虽然邪恶，但却十分的冷静跟理智，从未有过制造大屠杀的记录。
对平民波及最大的一次，还要追溯到千年之前他跟艾薇柯拉撒格兰“锐齿”在城市上空交战的时候，导致差不多七万五名奴隶当场丧命。
但明眼人都能看得出，这些奴隶的死亡有超过八成得归功于锐齿。
毕竟巨龙的吐息跟碾压都是出了名的范围大，最容易造成大面积误伤。
Just as Shane VII arrived at the headquarters of the Mages Guild led by the pregnant girl and began to buy all kinds of magic scrolls, Balagos "Flying Flame", which had disappeared for a long time in the south of the west coast of Faerun, finally returned to people's sight again.
However, this time it was not because of attacks on towns, caravans or setting fires everywhere, but the killing of more than a dozen monster tribes that posed a huge threat to the safety of rural roads, even including two druid sects that had a record of killing civilians.
If it was just pure killing, it wouldn't be enough to make people feel strange.
You have to know that Balagos "Flying Flame" was originally a giant dragon that was keen on killing and destruction. The number of monsters that died at his hands was far more than that of humans.
What really amazed people was that all these monsters and druids that were destroyed had one thing in common, which was that they attacked people who had purchased the "revenge service."
This is something that has only recently become popular within the West Coast Empire.
The content is very simple. As long as you pay a certain amount of money every month, after you or your family suffer an inexplicable attack, a mysterious force will take action to launch revenge on the enemy on your behalf.
Although at the beginning, most people suspected that this contract was made by a scammer.
But after some traveling merchants on country roads bought it with the attitude of giving it a try, they found that it was actually very useful, and all the opponents dispatched were giant dragons, so their business immediately became extremely popular.
After all, it only costs a small amount of money to hire a dragon to avenge oneself, something that was unthinkable before.
The most important thing is that this revenge service itself is a huge deterrent, which will make enemies and even monsters hidden in the dark dare not act rashly, otherwise they may be attacked by the dragon and killed without leaving any trace.
Similarly, revenge services also greatly alleviate various unfair competitions, such as hiring killers, bribing monster tribes to ambush competitors' convoys, harassing their industries, and so on.
Since everyone bought the revenge service, a terrifying constraint was formed between them.
Obviously, just by listening to the name, you can tell that this thing must have been made by Wilmes.
To be precise, she has made a lot of money with this trick, and she has also come up with a performance appraisal system, letting other evil dragons under her be responsible for settling everything, while she lies comfortably in her nest and counts money until her hands cramp.
What's even more outrageous is that this guy is operating legally and paying taxes according to regulations. There is absolutely no fault to be found with him.
At this moment, this red dragon of purgatory was lying in its own nest, dividing the spoils with several other relatively younger colorful dragons.
In front of her were two boxes of gold and silver coins that had just been delivered by human men.
Without saying a word, Wilmes took one of the boxes for himself, then poured out the other box and distributed the money to several of his capable men one by one.
Although the process was very painful for her, she endured it because she thought it was for the purpose of making more money.
After the full box of gold and silver coins was distributed, Wilmes dragged his chin with his front paws and said, "Compared with last month, this month's performance increased by 30%, most of which was near Kalinshan and Steam Lake.
Tethyr and Amn saw growth of less than 20 percent.
Those in charge of this area should take note.
If the growth is still so slow or even negative next month, I will start deducting your share.
Remember, only by actively expanding the market at all costs can our business become bigger and stronger.
Imagine that the southern region of the west coast alone can bring us so much revenue. What if we expand our business to the entire continent of Faerun?
Within a hundred years, the wealth we possess will make those ancient dragons that have lived for thousands of years envious and jealous.
Another thing is to open your mind and think more about how to develop more paid services.
If there is any foolish man who dares to rob within our business scope, we must unite and kill him immediately.
How many times have I said this!
Protect merchants, villages and towns!
Only as these mortals grow richer, and the towns and villages grow richer, can we make more money from them.
If possible, it is best to try to sign agreements with those villages and towns.
They can pay much more than one or two merchants.”
"Understood! Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will actively expand our business. If anyone dares to cause trouble in our territory, I will be the first one to not let him off."
A young green dragon who had just joined pocketed his share of the money, raised his head and made a solemn promise.
Not only him, but the other dragons present also nodded desperately to show their loyalty, which was quite like a modern company holding an annual meeting and distributing year-end dividends.
After all, they have already tasted the sweetness of it. As long as Wilmes can restrain his greed and not keep it all to himself, this model will continue to spread around like a viral pyramid scheme.
Looking at these young people who were manipulated by him and became "workers", Wilmes instantly felt a sense of superiority that his IQ crushed them. At the same time, he also understood why Zuo Si always revealed that uncomfortable look every time he looked at him.
At this moment, she was also scanning her "salesman" with the same look, and waved her hand with a majestic but slightly arrogant gesture, indicating that the other party could go away.
Without saying a word, the young dragon immediately took his group and returned to the nest happily.
In particular, the red dragons and blue dragons in charge of the Amn and Tethyr regions were thinking about how to quickly expand their business. To this end, they specially invited some smart humans, elves, and half-elves to form a think tank and set up offices in various towns.
After all these guys flew away, Wilmes yawned lazily and asked without raising his head: "How are the sons of Baal near the Marching Mountains now?"
"They are killing each other with great efficiency, and some of them are powerful enough to make me wary." Balagos lowered his head and responded in a deep voice.
It was not difficult to tell from his respectful attitude that he had gradually begun to get used to submitting to the tyranny of the powerful Purgatory Red Dragon in front of him.
There is no way, when you are under someone's roof you have to bow your head.
There is a strange object monitoring his brain 24 hours a day, so he doesn't dare to have even the slightest thought of resistance, otherwise he will be discovered in minutes and suffer severe punishment.
"Oh? What about the elves in the Wildas Forest? What is their current situation?" Wilmes continued to ask with interest.
Balagos quickly replied, “After I went around there twice, they began to shrink on a large scale. They must have used the magic barrier to hide themselves.
Even patrols around the trade roads were stopped.
I don’t think they’re a threat, to be honest.”
"Humph! Whether it's a threat or not, it doesn't count. It doesn't count even if I say it."
Wilmes curled his lips in disdain.
Just as she was about to say something, the Moon Elf Mage Ashmi suddenly walked in from outside and said in a slightly serious tone: "Lord Soth ordered us to launch an attack on the Sons of Bhaal entrenched in the Marching Mountains and try to drive them out of the occupied city."
"attack?"
Wilmes was slightly stunned.
