The territory in the game was the crystallization of his and his friends' blood and sweat. The wetlands meant a lot to him. For this territory, he and his friends had put in a lot of effort, but all the hard work was worth it. When the lord's appointment was announced, all the players in the server were shocked. Then, the whole server went wild.
That was the first time that the players had their own main city.
Liang Lidong wanted to take over the wetland again, not only for nostalgia, but also for development. The Woking Temple needed enough space to develop. Even if Reed Village developed, it would at most be a small city. There was no way around it because of the geographical restrictions.
In addition, although Grinton promised that the Woking Temple could develop in Bronze Drum City in the future, the population of a border city was too small. It was not enough for the Woking Temple to really develop. Liang Lidong estimated that a large-scale Holy War was about to start. It would be difficult for the Woking Temple to develop in other places except Reed Village and Bronze Drum City. After that, almost all the temple forces would go berserk. If they dared to have any conflict of interest, they would suffer a huge blow.
The Woking Temple was still very weak. It was like a bean sprout that had just broken out of the soil. It needed to grow quietly and could not withstand too much wind and rain.
But if it had its own lord, it would be much easier to promote the Woking Temple.
When the two came out of the secret room, the happy and harmonious atmosphere made the others sigh in relief.
Emma really did not want the second brother to have a conflict with Beta. After all, she had miscalculated and 'lost' her big brother. If the second brother and Beta had a conflict, she really did not know which side to take.
The second prince smiled and left the secret room, leaving Beta, his companions, and the queen.
When he returned to his secret room, there was a trace of sharpness on his face … Many people knew that there was stone in the wetland, but only a few people knew that there was a magic crystal mine hidden under it.
This secret was suddenly spread more than 300 years ago. Many big families at that time had records of this information, but for some reason, the families that knew this information and wanted to take over the magic crystal mine. Many mysteriously disappeared … To be exact, they died without knowing why. They were eating, but were suddenly cut off at the waist or had their heads smashed.
This was a sensational event at that time, and even legendary figures came to see what was going on. Later, some legendary figures actually died. Then, the matter of the wetland magic crystal mine was left unsettled. No one dared to investigate or inquire about it anymore. Soon, the wetland became a forbidden area.
The second prince was not sure whether Beta knew about the wetland magic crystal mine or not, but as long as there was a trace of possibility, he wanted to test it. After all, the magic crystal mine was a huge source of wealth and was also a material of battle power. of which no one was willing to give up.
He thought for a while. He pulled on a white rope in the secret room. Not long after, a male guard wearing chainmail walked in. "Master, you were looking for me?"
"Yes, I asked you to investigate that Beta. How is it going?" Ignatsu's voice was very magnetic.
The guard shook his head. "Whether it's the Mercenary Guild or the Assassin Guild, the information we have is very limited. We only know that the first place he appeared was Reed Village. No more information, such as his family background, abilities, etc. I know nothing. "
"So mysterious?" Ignatsu furrowed his handsome eyebrows and said, "I remember that some of your men are good at communicating with people. Ask them for information in a roundabout way. Send them to Betta and try to get to know his background as soon as possible. This person is not simple. "
The guard saluted and left.
Ignatsu sat on the chair and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Now that the damned kingslayer had the upper hand, and he was forced to hide in this big cemetery. The other party's timing was too good, too accurate. He never thought that the other party would take this step. Instead of fighting him directly, he killed the king and poisoned his own father.
He was still far inferior to such a ruthless person.
However, in the fight for the throne, ruthlessness alone was not necessarily a sure win. A lot of things required brains, and he, Ignatsu, was best at using his brain and best at surviving in adversity.
Now that there were three masters on his side, it was his turn to play his cards. He didn't know if that bastard could handle it. Thinking of this, his eyes lit up. He took out a piece of parchment from under the table and began to write and draw.
Liang Lidong took Emma and the others into Mystra's Mansion again.
In this small space, Emma took a deep breath and sat down on a chair. "It's still more comfortable to stay here. It's safe and the air is good, unlike in that big graveyard. Although I used a cleansing spell, there was a rotten smell no matter how I looked at it."
In fact, this was just Emma's psychological effect. Although the secret passage they were in was connected to the big cemetery, there was actually no rancid smell, and the big cemetery had always been managed by the Priests of the Nether God, which maintained the operation of Cleansing Magic all year round, so there wouldn't be any smell.
Both Kail and Alice also sat down. For the two of them, the closed and dark basement was indeed not as reassuring as this warm, comfortable, and danger-free space of Mystra's Mansion.
"Alright, you guys were chased yesterday. You guys have been scared for the whole day. Now you can have a good rest." Liang Lidong looked at the four of them and continued, "I'll go out and buy some food for you guys."
Kail and Alice looked at each other and immediately yawned as they returned to their respective little houses.
Emma, on the other hand, smiled sweetly at Liang Lidong and pulled the queen up to the second floor.
Liang Lidong turned and left the space, then happened to run into the second prince, who was coming over with a piece of parchment. He looked around the secret room and asked curiously, "Where are they?"
"Put it away."
"Put it away?" The second prince's handsome face twisted for a moment. He knew that some spatial Mages could hide one or two people, but hiding four at the same time? That was a bit unrealistic.
"Okay, I won't pursue where you hid them." The second prince handed a piece of parchment to Liang Lidong. "You help me do these things, then you can leave the rest to me."
Liang Lidong took it and looked at it, then threw the parchment into his Backpack and said with a smile, "No problem, wait for our good news. But Second Prince, there's something I want to ask you too. "
"Please speak, Your Excellency."
"If you become king, what are you going to do with the first prince?"
"He killed my father," the second prince said matter-of-factly. "I will naturally kill him to avenge my father."
"Understood."
After hearing this, Liang Lidong didn't show any expression and left straight away.
The second prince looked in the direction in which Liang Lidong disappeared with a strange expression. For a suspicious person like him, everyone's every word might have hidden meanings. As a Master, Beta naturally wouldn't waste time on nonsense. There would definitely be a reason for any question he asked.
But he couldn't guess why Beta would ask such a question for the time being.
Liang Lidong didn't know that his question had killed a lot of the second prince's brain cells. He came out of the secret passage, only to find that someone was waiting outside.
It was a female Priestess in a black robe.
When she saw Liang Lidong come out, her eyes lit up. She trotted forward and said somewhat happily, "You're out? I have something I need your help with. "
"Huh?" Liang Lidong looked at her and felt that he had seen her expression, tone, and the way she spoke before. "What's the matter?"
"You're a spellcaster, right?" The black-robed girl gave a piece of parchment to Liang Lidong. "This is a new spell that I've learned. There are a lot of things that I don't understand. Can you teach me?"
Liang Lidong looked at her strangely, wondering why the girl gave off the feeling that she was a student. Speaking of which, in the world of magic, most spellcasters were eager to learn. It was just a matter of whether or not anyone was willing to teach them.
In the game, if Liang Lidong met a girl who asked about magic modeling and theories, he would definitely teach her. After all, much of the magic knowledge that he learned was from his friends on the forum. Learning from others and then benefiting others was a common practice in the age of information.
This feeling made him somewhat nostalgic. He looked at the parchment and asked, "Frost Spell? Is there anything that you don't understand? "
"Here." The black-robed girl approached Liang Lidong and pointed at a magic node on it. "Every time my mental power reaches this point, I feel a stab, and the spell fails."
"There's an error in the magic modeling." Liang Lidong pounced on the point, and a black spot that was stuck to it fell off the parchment. "There's no such node in Frost Spell at all."
The black-robed girl's expression changed. Then, she said somewhat angrily, "Thank you for your reminder, sir. There's something I need to take care of. I'll thank you again when I have a chance."
Watching the girl leave, Liang Lidong shook his head. The girl had obviously been tricked. If she had used the extra magic node forcefully, the girl would've been mentally disturbed in only a few years. Her magic abilities would've plummeted, and she would've become an idiot in the worst case. He didn't expect that the seemingly peaceful Nether Temple would have such filthy things.
Liang Lidong walked slowly in the temple and soon arrived at the entrance of the temple. However, he did not expect to be blocked by a black-robed priest.
The believers of the Nether God all liked to wear black robes. The Priest before him was a man. He looked clean, except for his inverted triangular eyes. He didn't look like a thoughtful person.
"Did you explain the magic nodes of Frost Spell to Natalie just now?"
Liang Lidong knew that trouble was coming. He chuckled and asked, "What's up?"
"Mind your own business." The man looked at Liang Lidong with an arrogant expression. "Or you'll regret what you did. Get out of the temple now. You're not welcome here."
"He's welcome."
A crisp voice sounded, and the black-robed girl came out from behind with a frosty face.
