Chapter 1374: Dead Bones
There is no doubt that Yalvette still has a lot to learn in this area of work. Now that Zhou Xu mentioned it casually, she suddenly felt that maybe she could really do it.
Afterwards, Yalvette quickly had things arranged. At the same time, the Pegasus Knights who received the order also got the warrant from Saint Laurent I and flew to Saint Laurent Fortress as quickly as possible to transport resources for Zhou Xu.
It takes a large army about half a month to travel from the border of the Saint Laurent Empire to the border of Copperforge. The distance is not far. Under this premise, the Pegasus Knights' travel efficiency is undoubtedly higher.
It took only a few days to go back and forth and bring the resources back quickly.
The mithril from the Saint Laurent Empire was directly melted into metal ingots. The density of mithril is still very high, and a small piece feels quite heavy in the hand.
To be on the safe side, Zhou Xu used the "Eye of Secrets" to check it out. After confirming that it was correct, he closed the box and signaled Drogo to send a team to escort the box of mithril back first.
Then he turned his attention to another box next to him. After opening it, a bunch of pitch-black bones suddenly came into Zhou Xu's sight. There seemed to be a faint black air surrounding the bones.
Needless to say, this is the dead soul bone! According to Saint Laurent I, the dead soul bones also have levels, they are divided into high, medium and low levels.
In this regard, Saint Laurent I was very generous and directly gave Zhou Xu ten high-level undead bones, thirty intermediate-level undead bones and five hundred low-level undead bones.
Although he was asking for too much, Zhou Xu knew exactly what Saint Laurent I was thinking at that time.
Do you want to ask if this undead bone is useful? Of course it is useful, but if you want to ask how versatile it is, it is definitely not. Apart from the Skeleton Mage, who needs this thing? In the Saint Laurent Empire, this resource is obviously overflowing, but there is no place to use it, so it is used as a bargaining chip, hoping to get some other benefits.
But from Zhou Xu's perspective, the situation is different. Don't forget, he still has a team of undead wizards.
Once the Saint Laurent Empire realizes this problem, they will definitely hide these undead bones and not give them away. So he might as well take this opportunity to get more.
The three levels of undead bones were packed into three boxes respectively.
The largest box undoubtedly contains the five hundred low-level undead bones.
Zhou Xu just took a glance and then focused his attention on the smallest box.
If the big box is like a junk box, then this small box is an exquisite gift box, at least it looks like a good gift.
The moment the box was opened, a black mist suddenly overflowed from the box like a stream of water, invisibly causing the temperature around it to drop a few degrees.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers all changed, except Gargamel, who seemed to have smelled something delicious, and the dark blue soul fire became excited.
"Master, I feel a very powerful undead energy!"
Zhou Xu nodded after hearing this. This situation was within his expectations.
According to Saint Laurent I's previous description, this undead bone must contain powerful undead energy.
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu's gaze fell directly on the box.
I saw ten bones lying quietly on the velvet cloth which was the same color as red wine. They were of different shapes and sizes.
One is a skeleton hand with every knuckle intact.
One is a thigh bone, which looks very thick.
Some are just spines, emitting a chilling aura.
The most eye-catching one is the skull placed in the middle of the box.
The entire skull was pitch black, and in the sunlight, it had a jade-like texture, and was even somewhat crystal clear.
[Eyes that pry into secrets! ]
Without hesitation, Zhou Xu spoke the truth to find out the truth.
Name: Millennium Dead Bones Introduction: Bones that have been nurtured by the energy of the dead for a thousand years after death already possess powerful power! No processing is required, it is already a natural magic weapon!
Normal corpses will basically decay within a few decades after death. For corpses to be preserved for hundreds or even thousands of years, they must have the blessing of special powers.
Zhou Xu was surprised to find that the skull in front of him was actually a thousand years old.
At the same time, his eyes quickly turned to the other undead bones nearby, and soon discovered that the years of these undead bones were actually different.
[Eight hundred years, nine hundred years, these seven hundred years...]
Apparently, no one in the Saint Laurent Empire possessed the 'Eyes of Secrets', so they had no way of accurately distinguishing the age of these undead bones.
They can only be roughly divided into three levels: high, medium and low based on the texture and overall condition of the undead bones.
In fact, the levels of each high-level undead bone in this box are different.
As of now, the thousand-year-old skull is the highest level.
Realizing this, Zhou Xu quickly opened the box containing intermediate undead bones.
[Four hundred years, six hundred years, five hundred years...]
Compared with those high-level ones, the age of these intermediate-level undead bones is basically concentrated between four hundred and six hundred years. Although they are shiny, they do not have any jade characteristics.
It is estimated that this is also an important basis for the Saint Laurent Empire to distinguish between advanced and intermediate levels.
The remaining low-level ones are all between one hundred and three hundred years old. Their biggest feature is that their bodies are dark, but they still have the texture of bones and are obviously rough to the touch.
By the way, among these undead bones, the lowest level is no less than a hundred years old.
Judging from the situation, it should take more than a hundred years to form undead bones. Those less than a hundred years are not qualified.
After looking around, Zhou Xu picked up the thousand-year-old skull.
At that moment, he even felt two eager gazes from Gargamel's empty skull eye sockets.
"Gargamel?"
"Your loyal servant Gargamel is here, great master!"
[Wow, my business capabilities are starting to improve. ]
Zhou Xu didn't mean to tease him.
"This thousand-year-old undead skull is a reward for you. As long as you serve me well, I will never treat you unfairly!"
"My great master! Your will is the only truth!!"
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Gargamel's excitement was visible to the naked eye as he took the thousand-year-old undead skull. His soul fire was so excited that it seemed as if it was about to do a tap dance.
During this period, Zhou Xu had no reluctance to part with the thousand-year-old undead skull.
He himself is not a specialist in the Skull Mantra. After looking around, he believes that if he wants to maximize the value of the undead skull, giving it to Gargamel is the most appropriate choice.
