My Planeswar

Chapter 174 Uncle Gong 4
"Your territory?" The little girl's eyes lit up instantly.In this regard, the difference between the east and the west of the earth is too great. The "lords" in the east have already disappeared for thousands of years, and they are no longer remembered by people. In the west, even in the age of civilization, the lords still exist tenaciously for a long time, even in modern times, " Title" is still a symbol of identity and status.

"Yes, I have my own territory." Zhang Cheng replied.Speaking of this, he remembered Dr. Kunwu's promise of reward.He didn't know how Doctor Kunwu would reward him, but the easiest way for a monarch to reward his subordinates was to bestow land.Zhang Cheng felt that Dr. Kunwu was more likely to grant him more territory, and possibly some property.

Several people started to return.

By the standard of the earth, this "workshop" outside is about or kilometers away from Xiaxu.It would take about an hour or two to walk.This means that when Zhang Cheng returned to Xiaxu City, it was already noon.

The sense of bleakness in the city is still very strong.The corpses have basically been dealt with, but a large number of ruins have not been cleared.These ruins are basically shacks destroyed by fire.In several locations, houses were burned throughout the area.However, when Zhang Cheng came all the way, he did see someone carrying the preliminarily processed wood into the city in a vehicle.That kind of wood can be seen at a glance to be used for the construction of that kind of simple shack.The battered city is slowly coming back to life.

Compared with the game timeline, the fate of Xia Xu in reality is much better.

Zhang Cheng spent the afternoon of the day with Hu Chen and the little girl in the trade zone.For Zhang Cheng, the only reward is that he bought another "Vampire Bat".But for the little girl, she finally found a suitable opportunity and asked a lot of questions.Including things like language, culture, geography, environment, etc.Of course, she didn't ask Zhang Cheng, because Zhang Cheng didn't know much about these things. In fact, it was the traveling merchants and Hu Chen who answered her questions.Zhang Cheng's role in it is as a translator.

It's really a turn of events.On Earth, Zhang Cheng needs a little girl to be an interpreter, but here, the little girl can only rely on Zhang Cheng to translate.

At dusk, they returned to their residence.Jia's condition is better than expected. With enough rest and nutrition, it seems that within three to four days, he will be able to recover initially, that is, he can walk normally.

The world doesn't have a rich nightlife, or even enough lighting at night.So when it gets dark, there is basically only one option left to sleep.Unless there is a special mission, people generally don't go out after dark.

So Zhang Cheng came to the entrance of the dungeon in the palace area very quietly all the way.

Yesterday's kill was effective.Because at this moment, the body of the ghoul killed yesterday is still here and has not disappeared.None of its kind enjoyed its carcass, in fact no one seemed to have spotted it at all for the past 24 hours.

Zhang Cheng took out a card and put away the ghoul's body.Then, he entered the dungeon, and first summoned the bear, and then summoned the lich.

The situation of the Lich is much better than yesterday. Although he is still in a state of distress, his outer robe is torn, and his bone body full of cracks can be seen everywhere, but at any rate, his body has been reassembled and is not as fragmented or even completely broken as yesterday. In two pieces.

The spiritual link established after summoning the Lich is different from the others.When the next angel, it is a very strong link like a spiritual dialogue.The consciousness of each other can communicate without any obstacles.Huchen completely blocked the spiritual connection and could only communicate with words.The spiritual link of the Lich is much more obscure than that of the Angel. You can clearly transmit your consciousness to the Lich, and the Lich can also give you feedback, but you can clearly feel that the other party can hide some ideas from you. .

"Uncle Gong." Zhang Cheng said.

"The old man's name is Xi," said the lich, bowing his head.

So your official name is "Congratulations"?Zhang Cheng complained in his stomach.He knew it wasn't the other party's intention, but this name really made people feel very ironic.

"I want you to keep the ghouls down here!" he said. "Keep them in check, keep them from moving, from struggling."

"Ghoul?" The lich was obviously a little uncomfortable with this title.But if he doesn't adapt, he can still understand what Zhang Cheng is referring to at the first time.He also quickly understood what Zhang Cheng wanted to do.

"A trivial matter," replied the lich.

They walked along the underground passage, Lich walked in front, Zhang Cheng walked behind, and Hu Chen followed behind Zhang Cheng.The lich is obviously far more familiar with the environment here than Zhang Cheng, because he quickly came to a group of ghouls with all his wanderings along the way.

There are five or six ghouls gathering in a small area.Although ghouls are just minions, they can actually be regarded as the elite of the minions.If five or six ghouls appear in the second act of the game, it will definitely be a big challenge for the players.In the second act of the game, players can clear the entire dungeon and turn all ghouls into GP and EXP, but this is based on the premise of attracting one or two monsters to fight each time.Just like the last scene where dozens of ghouls rushed over in a swarm, if it was played in the game, the players would definitely pounce.

But now Zhang Cheng is not afraid of this.

The attention of the ghouls was instantly attracted by the lich.Undead creatures are a thing with a huge difference between the upper and lower levels. Many low-level undead creatures are created by high-level undead creatures.So facing the dark lich in the upper position, the ghoul didn't even have the will to resist, and knelt down in front of the lich in a very submissive posture.

Just like the dungeon that Zhang Cheng visited in the first scene, the relationship between a lich and a ghoul is the relationship between a master and a slave, and this slave doesn't even have the consciousness of rebelling against his master.

"It's all right now," the Lich said.

Zhang Cheng took out a card, and the blue planeswalker fire began to burn on a ghoul.Although the flame had no temperature, it obviously made the ghoul a little uneasy.But restlessness is restlessness, in the face of the consciousness order of the lich as a superior undead creature, it dare not resist, and can only let the flames burn all over its body.

"Common ghouls: Common ghouls are a common subgenre of the larger class of undead. Well-preserved corpses are often transformed into common ghouls through some dark ritual or other means. They generally retain the Appearance, but in fact it is completely another creature. The strength of these creatures is not outstanding, but they still have the possibility of evolution. Cost 0, attack 0 (claw), life 1 (strong), characteristics; undead creature ( Ghouls), tough skin, group activities."

Sure enough, it was a very rubbish card, similar to "Prairie Gray Wolf". The only good thing on the card was probably a "Strong" rating in terms of HP and a "Tough Skin".This is probably the evaluation of the ghoul's skin and muscles that are almost as strong as leather armor.

Fortunately, what is lacking in quality can be made up in quantity.The fire of the planeswalker ignited again and again, and after a few minutes, Zhang Cheng had already collected 5 "common ghoul" cards in his hand.

They go all the way.As a high-level undead creature, the lich has great control over these low-level ghouls. Gongbo can order these creatures to accept the restraint of the planeswalker without resistance, and thus become cards one by one.

Once or twice, the ghoul escaped the planeswalker fire, but that was only by chance.In the face of the powerful will of the Lich, their final results have not changed in any way.

Not only that, but there are more ghouls in the dungeon than expected.Zhang Cheng remembered that he also controlled his character in the game to kill all directions in the dungeon.I can't remember how many ghouls he killed in the end, but the total number is estimated to be around one or two hundred.But he has only collected sixty or seventy cards after only a short journey.As for the entire dungeon, he estimated that he only walked a quarter of it.

If the ghouls were evenly distributed in the dungeon, the total number would be more than three hundred.It can be seen that in the game timeline, although the player has accepted the task of cleaning the dungeon, the number of ghouls has actually been reduced a lot before.

"There are quite a few ghouls here." Zhang Cheng said casually.

"It's because of the witches." Gong Bo replied. "He doesn't trust others. On the contrary, he feels that these low-level beasts are more reliable."

It's strange to talk about this matter. When going on an adventure in the dungeon, the wizard didn't find a local, but a group of time travelers as partners.Originally Zhang Cheng thought it might be a coincidence, but now that Gong Bo said it, he thought it was a bit funny.

"Witch...why do you think so?"

"There are rumors that the sorcerer used to live in the city of Lu, but later left Xia Xu because of frustration." Gong Bo replied. "Maybe it's because he was deceived. Although he is a great witch, he is actually a bit stubborn and doesn't know how to be flexible."

"He doesn't seem to be from Lu country?" Zhang Cheng asked suddenly. "Why do you want to go to the country of Lu?"

"That's right, great witches usually come from a secret background, and people won't know where they are. As for why, I don't know, but I did hear that there are many great witches in Philadelphia by chance." Gong Bo replied.

"Why are there so many great witches?" Zhang Cheng was a little curious.

"This, the old man doesn't understand." Gong Bo replied. "Great witches are rare in the first place, but the so-called birds of a feather flock together, maybe they just want to get together."

"By the way, what were you doing here before?"

"This old man wants to take in these... ghouls." Gong Bo replied. "To prepare for war and chaos. By the way, I want to learn the thaumaturgy of other people." He saw that Zhang Cheng didn't understand it very well, so he explained further. "Now that the emperor has fallen, the world is in turmoil, and the gods are fighting, it's an opportunity for heroes to make contributions. Although I am a ghost soldier, if I can gather hundreds or thousands of people, it can be regarded as a force that cannot be underestimated. Perhaps Have a chance?"

"You want to restore the country?" Zhang Cheng asked.He knew about Uncle Gong before, but when he heard him admit it, he still felt a little unbelievable.Relying on hundreds or thousands of low-level undead creatures can dominate one side?Really look down on the strength of human beings in this world.At this level, any city lord who is similar to Dr. Kunwu can kill you, okay?

"Your offspring are unworthy!" Gong Bo sighed. "In the past, I was greedy for longevity. I gave up my position to my descendants and turned myself into a ghost. I thought I could enjoy the joy of a long and happy life, but unexpectedly... my home country perished. I have nothing to worry about, only this."

"You don't think...you can restore the country with hundreds or thousands of ghouls?" Zhang Cheng asked suspiciously.

"It was originally impossible, but now there is a chance." Gong Bo replied. "Does Mr. Zhang Cheng know about the establishment of the Son of Heaven?"

Whether it is the history of the earth or the situation of this world, they are consistent in this respect: the qualified, authentic, and recognized emperors and princes are dead, and the rest are those who are not so authentic.In a game terminology, the strong claims are gone, and the rest are weak claims.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng didn't answer, Uncle Gong said the rest. "Now that the position of the son of heaven is vacant, the princes have two ideas. If they can take the lead in supporting him...even if the old man's strength is low, but with this support alone, he can crack the soil and become a vassal of the Zhou family, right?"

It turned out that this was the idea!Zhang Cheng understood as soon as he heard it.It's not because of my strength, but because of my early standing in the team.If you press the middle treasure, everyone will be happy-of course, if you press the wrong treasure, there will be no game.But the 50.00% chance is really worth a try.

"Are your descendants unable to do it by themselves?"

"The Gong family has declined," Gong Bo sighed again. "When the country was subjugated in the past, there was a wave of massacres, and this time there was great chaos. The homeland was occupied by dog ​​soldiers, and now... has become a wanderer."

Tourists are the lowest grade among the nobility, belonging to the type that still retains the title of nobility (scholar) but is actually no different from the common people in terms of economics-those who should farm should still farm, and those who should pick up dung should still farm. I have to pick up shit.Of course, due to their status as nobles, it is easier for them to get some jobs with more status, and it is easier for them to be respected by everyone, but in fact they are no different from those declining nobles in the history of the earth: they look bright, but they are actually ruined. It's over.

It was probably because of this reason that Gong Bo, who had become a lich, had to take the initiative to find a solution.Of course, now that Uncle Gong himself has fallen into Zhang Cheng's hands, it can only be said that there is no chance at all.

"Let's go back first." Zhang Cheng felt quite tired.Walking around in the oppressive environment of the dungeon, with a tiger and a lich beside him, it is easy to get tired.He still has a lot of time.Jia's leg injury still needs a few days to heal, and there's still plenty of time to slowly clear the dungeon.

Following Zhang Cheng's order, both Hu Chen and Gong Bo turned around and walked back.It may be due to psychological reasons, walking at the back and looking at Uncle Gong's back at the moment, I just feel that the back is extremely stooped and heavy, as if he is carrying some kind of heavy and unbearable burden.

Why do I have an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly dismissed this thought, and turned to the next question... It seems that the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will be able to travel back to the earth again.After returning from the earth, it is almost time to start the journey back to Kunwu City.
