The violent power and curse within the "Dragon Blood" were broken down and dissolved by Cruche Lulu's blood analysis, and then refined using the Lizardman clan's treasure, a magical cauldron, to completely finish the creation of the "Dragon Blood Potion." Although both bottles of "Dragon Blood Potion" appeared blue, one could still discern the difference between the potions with the naked eye.
Just like the difference between low-level and high-level "Regeneration Potions."
The ordinary "Dragon Blood Potion" was just like any ordinary potion. However, the blue liquid within the "Advanced" Dragon Blood Potion seemed to "come alive," with the liquid slowly flowing inside, even causing the potion bottle to become warm.
Item: Magic · Alchemical Solution (Dragon Blood Potion)
Level: Intermediate
Description: Upon drinking, grants the "Berserk" effect, +20 Physical Attack, and a certain amount of Mental Resistance, lasting for half an hour. Afterwards, the user enters a weakened state (Effective below 30Lv).
Item: Magic · Alchemical Solution (Dragon Blood Potion)
Level: Advanced
Description: Weakly and permanently increases Life Strength, ceasing to increase after reaching a certain limit. The higher the level, the lower the increase (Effective below 30Lv).
Minori scanned the identified information, his gaze calm. Neither of these two Dragon Blood Potions were useful to him. The advanced "Dragon Blood Potion" could be used by his subordinates.
"Increases 'Life Strength.' Life Strength shouldn't just describe the value of 'HP,' right?" Minori analyzed the content of the identification information, pondering in his heart.
He remembered resurrection magic. After being resurrected, a person's Life Strength would decrease. Could this so-called "Life Strength" refer to "Level?" Minori had just consumed a bottle himself, but it didn't produce any effect on him, so he couldn't quickly determine it.
Time passed day by day. Minori and his group gradually integrated into "Kalinsha." In the eyes of outsiders, besides the normal sale of regeneration potions,
Minori would specifically purchase a batch of supplies every so often. The rest of the time, he would continue to stay in the inn, claiming to be researching alchemy.
During this process, "Black" Pabel would occasionally invite Minori to drink at the taverns of Kalinsha.
This usually stern and unsmiling squad leader seemed to have a good impression of Minori.
However! Minori was very clear that the reason the other party was acting this way, besides the fact that his regeneration potions had treated many injured soldiers, also carried a certain sense of surveillance.
The information Pabel had collected should have included a description of his strength. In the other party's eyes, a foreign adventurer with great strength was an unstable factor.
Compared to the other "Nine Colors," Orlando, Pabel's mind was much deeper, the complete opposite of his daughter, Neia.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. On the surface,
the Holy Kingdom remained as calm as water. However, in the dark, a large number of nobles were exchanging various foods and meats with the troll race through sea-going merchant ships.
The frequency of this trade even exceeded Minori's initial expectations.
It seemed that many nobles were well aware that this extremely risky trade could not be maintained for a long time, and were doing their best to exchange the excess food in their territories for truly valuable gold and gems.
Beneath the calm situation, undercurrents were already surging.
Abelion Hills, the southernmost part. Ancient Castle Garrison.
Inside the empty hall. Minori, the Mist Witch, Cruche Lulu, Go Gin, the Zern King, the Pandex Queen Mother, and the Magelos Queen Nasrene .
A total of seven people sat around a round table.
The vast difference in body size and appearance of each race led to different sitting heights, creating a strange feeling from afar.
"Currently, almost all of the large and small troll tribes have been conquered. There are a total of 2,000 trolls, and the number of goblins is a bit higher, at 10,000."
Go Gin crossed his thick arms in front of his chest. His enormous size of more than three meters far exceeded the demi-humans present. He swept his gaze over everyone present with a condescending look and said lightly.
The number of 10,000 goblins was large, but for everyone present, it was not worth paying attention to at all.
Creatures like goblins, dirty and despicable, were meaningless no matter how many there were. They were so weak that even weak humans could easily kill them.
Even if they gathered together, they could not be used as a normal army. Perhaps before the battle even began, the goblins themselves would be in chaos, scattered and fleeing.
"Why take in so many goblins?"
The Magelos Queen Nasrene opened her mouth in dissatisfaction, "These short, green, dirty fellows, no demihuman would want them even as slaves."
"Is that so?" Go Gin sneered, "This is what the Lord instructed us to do."
The Magelos Queen Nasrene's expression changed, and she hurriedly looked at Minori to explain: "Lord, I have no intention of questioning your decision."
"I think these goblins would also make good food," the Zern King wiggled his upper body, emitting the dignified voice of a middle-aged man, but with a hint of flattery.
The Zern clan's food was bodily fluids. Whether the creatures were alive or dead didn't matter. Although the bodily fluids of creatures like goblins were the lowest grade of food, it was no problem for ordinary clan members to eat.
"Continue."
Minori leaned back in his chair, his whole body wrapped in a red robe, and emitted a hoarse, cold voice.
"The large amount of food traded has already been stored. Just the various meats alone can support us for a year's worth of food."
The Magelos Queen Nasrene said here, her voice with a hint of excitement, and then continued to open her mouth:
"All the magic casters in the clan who have mastered ice attributes have already used ice magic in batches to freeze these foods."
She had never thought of trading with humans before. The two sides were mutually hostile.
Even now that she saw the great benefits produced by the trade, the Magelos Queen Nasrene would still not choose to trade with humans.
Because once she did this, she would become the common enemy of all the ethnic groups in the entire hills area.
As for now? They were only forced to obey by this mysterious human who could manipulate the undead to fight against the living.
Except for the Magelos Queen Nasrene's tone was a bit excited, Go Gin had always had a cold face from beginning to end, while the Zern clan and the Pandex clan were very calm.
Because one clan's food was bodily fluids, and the other was moss.
"My compatriots will continue to mine the entire gold mine with the Zerns, which can guarantee a continuous supply of gold ore," the Pandex Queen Mother said, emitting a mature woman-like voice.
The two clans were naturally residents underground, and were more suitable for digging holes. Mining ore was not a complicated matter in their hands.
After listening to the reports from these demi-humans.
Minori nodded lightly and opened his mouth hoarsely: "Take out a portion of the grain and meat and fully supply the goblins, give them enough food, and let them breed and produce."
"In addition, you, the Zern clan, can also directly enjoy the bodily fluids of these goblins, and even the corpses can be handed over to you for processing first."
The Zern King's body leaned forward uncontrollably when he heard these words, somewhat unbelievably.
"Lord, is this true?" The warts on the Zern King's face wriggled irregularly up and down.
Even if one could not analyze his expression through the expression on his face, one could see the other party's excited emotions from his voice and these small movements.
This was also why the Zern King was excited.
The population of the entire Zern clan had been decreasing due to food and other problems, and there might be a risk of extinction in the future.
If there was a sufficient supply of food, their Zern clan would definitely grow completely!
Go Gin turned his head, his white gaze glanced at the Zern King, his lips moved, and finally retracted his gaze, deeply glanced at the red-robed figure out of the corner of his eye.
How could this human who manipulates the undead be so kind?
Although Go Gin couldn't guess what Minori was going to do, he could vaguely realize that this was definitely not a good thing.
"You few stay, the others can leave."
Minori raised his hand and waved it, opening his mouth lazily.
The crowd looked at each other, Go Gin silently stood up, turned and walked towards the outside of the castle, and the Mist Witch also left together.
Soon. Only Minori and five others remained in the hall.
"How is the mastery of "Cloud Manipulation"?" Minori turned his head and looked at Cruche Lulu, who was still wrapped in straw.
"This humble one can already release it independently," Cruche Lulu said respectfully.
Minori nodded, a satisfied look on his face.
In a month's time, the continuous supply of dragon blood had allowed Cruche Lulu's strength to increase to the 25LV level.
At least the precious dragon blood was not wasted.
"Then, let's go, everyone." Minori let out a sinister laugh through the magic item, grabbing everyone present in a touch: "Teleport!"
Swish — —
In the next instant, everyone in the hall disappeared together.
When everyone's vision stabilized again, they found that they were already standing on the top of a mountain range, and a cold wind was blowing.
Making the Zern King and the Pandex Queen Mother shiver a little, their wriggling bodies revealing horror.
"Teleportation magic!" The Magelos Queen Nasrene exclaimed.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Minori, and for a moment they didn't know what the other party wanted to do.
"Do you see that cloudy sky?"
Minori faced the crowd's nervous and fearful gaze, raised his arm, and pointed to the dark clouds in the distance that were gradually beginning to shroud the hills.
Obviously, a heavy rain was coming.
This season was originally a season with abundant rainfall.
"Rain breeds new life."
Minori opened his mouth hoarsely, slowly raising his arms and opening them, with his back to the crowd: "Unfortunately, I hate new life."
"So, everyone, I plan to start today and make sure that the entire Abelion Hills will no longer have a single drop of rain. What do you all think?"
"Crack!" A loud noise. Thunder roared down with the dark clouds in the sky.
The electric light illuminated Minori's figure, exuding an invisible sense of terror and horror.
