"Tsk tsk, this Miss Ouyang is really quite impressive, even the interior of her carriage is decorated so luxuriously."
On the carriage.
Yan Shaoqing sat in his seat, completely unconcerned about his image, and clicked his tongue.
Opposite him was Ying Wuyang, and beside him was his assistant, Yang Qianqian with twin ponytails.
Their entourage, on the other hand, rode in several other carriages.
"It's less about grandeur and more about enjoyment."
Ying Wuyang looked at the car, which had a heater and a sofa, and a frosted chandelier hanging from the ceiling, emitting a warm glow.
This carriage was already considered a luxury after its arrival.
After all, some people can't even find a warm place to sleep.
As a result, even the carriage of Miss Ouyang was warm and cozy.
"By the way, did you see that just now?"
Yan Shaoqing sat up and looked at Ying Wuyang with a serious and earnest expression.
"What?"
"These are the people. I observed them when I was at the dock earlier, and they are all undead."
Yan Shaoqing frowned.
"Whether it was the people who came to pick us up, or the people who were moving things at the dock or building warehouses, they were all undead who had been resurrected after death."
Earlier at the dock, Yan Shaoqing had carefully observed the surrounding situation.
He just didn't show it at the time.
Immortal.
A person who is resurrected after death.
"Yes, I see. If nothing unexpected happens, she was probably resurrected by Ouyang Qianjin, that necromancer."
When this matter was brought up, Ying Wuyang became serious.
There are actually many resurrection spells, or skills that can revive people.
However, most of them are revived on the spot.
Moreover, after being resurrected, a person remains a human and will never become an immortal being.
If we're talking about a creature capable of doing this, then it must be only Ouyang Qianjin, right?
Especially considering that the leader of this place is a necromancer, it inevitably makes people think that it was Ouyang Qianjin's doing.
After all, these people disappear from the panel after they die.
They were essentially declared dead.
For example, there's Zhang Mo, the guy who's just trying to gain experience points.
It even appeared on the ranking leaderboard several times before.
But then he suddenly disappeared, and now he has reappeared before them as an immortal.
This further confirms the possibility that it was Ouyang Qianjin who did it.
"When I shook hands with that Zhang Mo just now, there was no warmth at all. It was no different from shaking hands with a cold corpse."
Ying Wuyang shook his head with a wry smile.
"Skeletons pulling carriages, the undead picking up people—that really suits the profession of a necromancer..."
"Hehe, it's more accurate to say that the entire Whale State has now been dyed in the color of Miss Ouyang."
As Yan Shaoqing spoke, he opened the carriage window and looked out at the dark sky.
Since leaving the harbor, they have passed through three villages.
These three villages are still under construction.
But like the harbor, those towering beams of light were enough to illuminate the entire village.
The streetlights along the way were still replaced by those with burning phosphorescent flames.
It's fair to say that you can see Ouyang Qianjin's shadow wherever you go.
"These skeletal horses have been running all the way without resting; they're really a convenient means of transportation."
Yan Shaoqing said with a hint of sourness.
It's important to understand that there's a labor shortage everywhere.
If skeletons were this convenient and tireless, they would be the perfect workforce, capable of working 24/7.
How could a base commander not feel envious?
"Hey, Shaoqing, look! There are fireflies in Whale Island!"
Yang Qianqian leaned against the window, pointing happily at the tiny lights dancing in the darkness outside.
"Hey Qianqian, fireflies emit green light, but this is blue."
When Yan Shaoqing turned his head to look, he found that although these tiny specks of light looked a lot like fireflies, the light they emitted was blue.
Just then, a lone insect flew near the carriage, and Yan Shaoqing habitually activated his Eye of Detection.
[Grave Firefly: A small insect that is attracted to the smell of death and gathers in battlefields or graveyards with many corpses.]
"..."
After seeing the identified information, Yan Shaoqing fell silent.
Holy crap, how could such insects exist in Whale State?
While there are many insects that like corpses, there aren't many that are as beautiful as fireflies.
Moreover, the habits of fireflies and fireflies in this tomb are practically the opposite of each other.
One can only survive in places with good water quality, while the other seeks out places with corpses.
really.
The place where this necromancer lived was so eerie.
But speaking of alchemical tools, Yan Shaoqing really wanted those called "Pillars of Cold Night Light".
It's very practical, at least for use as nighttime lighting.
It's better than lighting a campfire or using spells like Light spells.
Most importantly, it's bright enough!
At night, it can be used for lighting, so there's no need to worry about people or monster hordes attacking the base from outside.
While Yan Shaoqing was pondering whether he could purchase the [Cold Night Light Pillar], on the other side...
Inside the carriage where Zhang Mo was, Li Taiying was seeking advice from Zhang Mo.
"Steward, we clearly have boats, and taking the canal would obviously be faster. Why choose such an inefficient route by carriage overland?"
Because Zhang Mo is currently still holding the title of Chief Steward of the Capital.
That's why Lee Tae-young addressed the other person in that way.
But she found Zhang Mo's unreasonable arrangement very puzzling.
After all, Miss Ouyang has always emphasized that if something has to be done, then efficiency is essential.
However, Zhang Mo's itinerary clearly had nothing to do with efficiency.
"Haha, Secretary Li is right. While going via the canal will certainly improve efficiency, let's not forget that the capital city isn't finished yet."
"When I came out, the castle was not yet finished with interior decoration. We need to buy the young lady some time, so using a carriage is very reasonable."
After taking a swig of wine, Zhang Mo laughed loudly and said.
This made Li Taiying understand Zhang Mo's intention.
Ying Wuyang's visit was indeed very sudden, as neither the capital nor the supporting facilities were yet fully constructed.
If we used the other party's yacht to travel through the canal, it would only take a few hours to get there.
In contrast, using a horse-drawn carriage, although still following the roads built during the canal's excavation, would always buy some time because it's a land route, allowing the capital to be built better.
"Of course, the most important thing is that the other party came by boat. If they use their yacht to travel through the canal, they won't be able to experience the joy of a horse-drawn carriage."
