Chapter 84: Dragon Vein Snake Man
As soon as the new city was completed, it immediately flooded the Divine Domain network with news, and many apprentices who had settled in his Divine Domain expressed their amazement on the Divine Domain network.
Although they were not allowed to post pictures and videos, outsiders knew through their descriptions that he had built a new city of an extremely outrageous scale.
This attracted many apprentices who were eager to settle down with him.
Li Qing didn't care about the apprentices' yearning. He even rarely went on the Divine Realm Network. Even these were told to him by An Erqiu.
At this time, he was summoning all the knights in the divine realm to discuss the internal planning of the new city in the divine realm.
The area of the divine domain has suddenly become so large, so of course it needs to be adjusted.
After much discussion, we finally decided to use the conventional four-division method.
First of all, the original castle of the Divine Realm will not be demolished, but will be converted into the core area of the Divine Realm, and the city walls will remain the same.
Then a 30-meter-wide avenue was left outside the castle to surround the central castle, and then a 30-meter-wide avenue was built between the four gates of the castle facing the four gates of the outer city.
In this way, the army can be mobilized directly along the avenue to the four directions.
The avenue is paved with a thick layer of steel bars and stone slabs. The sides are raised and paved with stone slabs to serve as walkways, and there are various buildings on both sides.
The city is divided into five major areas: the central core area, and four major regions: southeast, northeast, northwest, and southwest.
Several divine domain buildings are all placed in the core area, and other important facilities are also placed in the core area.
The southeast area is divided into a military camp area. The entire southeast area is surrounded by a high wall with only a few gates left. Inside is a huge military camp, where several ogres also live.
The northeastern region will be divided into residential areas, and a large number of high-tower communities will be built to move out some of the civilians in the Divine Domain Farm.
Of course, only a part of them will move out, and a small part will continue to stay inside.
The northwest area is divided into the trade area, and various apprentices live in this area.
The southwest area is divided into the artisan area, and various craft-related craftsmen and shops are placed in this area.
After the areas are divided, the next step is to build these areas. These tasks are temporarily handed over to three professionals: Dai Lirong, Shang Yingxin and Xia Mang.
They are all scholars and mages who specialize in certain fields and also work part-time as administrative managers. Li Qing positions them as administrative officials who are specifically responsible for handling administrative affairs within the territory for him.
An Erqiu and the three Xie brothers are combat heroes, responsible for military and territory defense, which are divided into two different systems.
Unfortunately, there are no management heroes in the territory now. Such heroes can actually increase administrative efficiency by investing their hero skills in some special management hero skills, and are very powerful in city management.
But there are too few heroes like this, and you can hardly see them at all. At least among so many apprentices under the mentor, there are only a few heroes who take this path.
Such heroes had already been recruited early on by Cao Wenyuan and Zhang Jishan with generous treatment. Li Qing had the intention but not the ability. His background and the situation at the time made him unqualified to recruit them.
It's powerful now but there's no such hero.
Given his situation, if he wanted to recruit such a hero, he could only wait until he had accumulated enough favor from the Eternal Tree, upgrade his internal affairs professionals to heroes, and train them the next day.
Leaving these matters to his subordinates, Li Qing came to the second floor of the Divine Domain Ranch.
A large amount of supplies were stored there before , but as the new city of Divine Realm was built, most of the supplies were consumed, and the rest were moved out and piled on the construction site. Now it is empty.
Li Qing did not plan to develop the second floor of this ranch into a ranch, but to use it to build a residence for the snakemen summoned from the snakemen's nest.
Build a village and let the snake people live in it temporarily.
There won’t be too many at the beginning, and it will only increase massively .
After coming up with a plan, Li Qing first went out and came to the big river which was more than ten kilometers away from the Divine Realm Base. He used the space in his palm to store a large amount of river water, and then returned it to pour it into the second level of the Divine Realm Ranch.
After filling it several times, he also filled the third level of the Divine Domain Farm.
After doing all this, he arrived in front of the snake man's lair.
The shape of the snakeman's lair is two huge snakeman statues entangled together, one male and one female, representing reproduction.
Among the entangled snakemen, there is an inward depression with a platform inside. Above the platform is a complex summoning array. There is a vertical vortex inside the platform. One only needs to stand on the summoning array and prepare the summoning soul essence and flesh and blood essence, or other sacrifices, to summon the snakemen.
This thing is similar to a combination of summoning and sacrifice functions, unlike a creature card that simply summons a snakeman.
It should be that a new snake man is created out of thin air based on the prepared sacrifice.
When Li Qing had just seen this thing, his first reaction was that this thing could become the foundation for a new throne of God, because the snakemen created by this snakeman's nest were not summoned from the Chaos Void Sea plane, but created out of thin air.
This means that Li Qing will be their creator. Once they have faith, regardless of whether they believe in the creator or not, the creator can get a portion of the power of faith.
When the power of faith accumulates to a certain point and produces a qualitative change, it will condense divinity. When enough divinity is condensed, a second qualitative change will occur, thus giving birth to the priesthood, which will automatically condense the priesthood of the snake people race.
In other words, if he created enough snake people, even if he did nothing, over time he would be able to condense divinity.
Of course, Li Qing himself is a divine creature at this time, so he has saved this step and can directly collect their power of faith.
Li Qing came to the platform in front of the snake man's lair. The magic circle on the platform immediately lit up, and a circle of faint halo rose from under his feet. He stretched out his hand and pressed in the vortex, and immediately a piece of information appeared in his mind.
These are the rules for using the snakeman's lair and the conditions for summoning different snakemen.
Li Qing took a glance and found that the simplest summoning method was to directly throw the corpses of various monsters and alien races that had just died and whose souls had not completely dissipated. They would be automatically converted into flesh and soul power by the nest for summoning.
However, the quality of the snakemen summoned in this way is not high. If it is the corpse of a powerful monster, a white-named snakeman may be summoned, but in most cases only a gray-named snakeman can be summoned.
If you want to summon a snakeman above the White Name level, you must use sufficiently pure soul essence and flesh and blood essence crystals.
The purer it is, the higher the quality. A crystal like Li Qing's, which is the purest soul essence and flesh essence without any impurities, can summon snakemen above green level.
He took a look and found that for every 1 unit of pure soul essence plus 10 units of pure flesh and blood essence crystals as a sacrifice, a blue-named snake man could be summoned.
This is the limit of simple summoning.
If you want to summon a higher quality snakeman, you need to add additional sacrifices.
For example, the bloodline of some powerful monsters, some special treasures that can strengthen the soul or body, etc.
The most obvious example is that if a dragon bloodline is added to the sacrifice, the summoned snakeman will be born with dragon bloodline comparable to LV1, and can be transferred to a dragon vein fighter or dragon vein warlock.
so……
Li Qing pinched his eyebrows and had this thought in his mind.
If this method could be used to mass-produce dragon vein fighters or dragon vein warlocks, it would be a powerful force.
It is worth mentioning that the Dragon Vein Fighter and Dragon Vein Warlock are neither heroes nor military units, but professionals, just like professionals in human civilization, which are equivalent to enhanced versions of military units.
If, if in the future we can gather hundreds or thousands of dragon vein sorcerers...
Li Qing pinched his chin and immersed in that beauty.
"That's it, let's go the elite route!"
After all, once you become a dragon vein sorcerer, even the power of faith provided will increase dramatically.
The snakemen summoned through the snakemen's nest are true believers at first, and there is a high probability that they are born with devout faith. After a period of getting along with the true believers, it is easy for them to be promoted to devout believers and fanatics.
According to the experience of human civilization, normal human true believers can provide 1 point of faith power every day.
A normal snakeman true believer can only provide 0.8 points of faith power per day.
True believers of lower races like gnolls can only provide 0.1 points of faith power every day, and kobolds, goblins and the like can provide even less.
However, if a snakeman awakens the dragon vein and becomes a dragon vein warlock, the power of faith provided will increase dramatically to more than 5 points. The specific increase depends on the initial race before awakening the dragon vein, the concentration of the awakened dragon vein, and the snakeman's own strength.
In addition, if one can be promoted to the extraordinary level, the power of faith provided will undergo a qualitative change, directly increasing tenfold.
If it is a tenth-level sanctuary, the power of faith provided will increase fivefold on the basis of the extraordinary level.
If it is a legendary strongman, the power of faith provided will be...
Well, legendary and below legendary are two different concepts.
Generally speaking, when legendary strongmen come into contact with the rules, the essence of their lives has changed, and the basic power of faith generated by their beliefs cannot be the same as that of their own kind.
Even if a kobold is promoted to legendary, the basic power of faith provided is more than 10,000.
Okay, these are a bit far away, but this is exactly the path Li Qing wants to take.
Fine quality.
After all, the hero slots in the Divine Realm are limited, and it is impossible to transform all heroes into Dragon Vein Fighters and Dragon Vein Warlocks. The excess accumulated dragon veins can be utilized to create a group of Dragon Vein Warlocks who can provide a large amount of faith power and have powerful strength.
As for the Dragon Vein Fighters, forget it. There are plenty of infantrymen who can be used as cannon fodder. Who would use these as cannon fodder?
The protagonist now has a ray of original light, 1794 units of soul essence, 2366 units of flesh and blood essence crystals, and 2700 units of dragon blood refined by dog-headed men.
These essences of flesh and blood were accumulated from the previous massacre of Hashim City.
According to the minimum standard of awakening a dragon vein warlock, which requires about 2,000 dragon bloods extracted by kobolds, there is only enough to summon one now.
This is clearly not enough.
Therefore, Li Qing quickly opened the communication to contact the instructor and asked:
"I need a group of kobolds. Corpses are fine too."
Nie Yang was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a while and said:
"Although this is your personal matter, as a mentor I still want to advise you not to get too obsessed with refining dragon blood. It's too troublesome and too difficult. You haven't seen any results from investing so much. It would be better to use the money for other things."
"Well……"
Li Qing said somewhat embarrassedly:
“In fact, I already have achievements.”
"Um?"
"How to say?"
Li Qing stretched out his hand and a light band emitting a faint red light coiled in his palm. He said:
"This is one of my achievements these days. I have extracted a batch of dragon blood. Two of them have been given to my subordinates, and they have successfully awakened their dragon veins. One was promoted to a dragon vein fighter, and the other was promoted to a dragon vein sorcerer."
Nie Yang reacted immediately and asked in surprise:
"Did you extract the dragon veins from your two men yourself?"
Li Qing nodded:
“Yes, I extracted it myself.”
Nie Yang was shocked. He had actually seen the Dragon Guard and Dragon Magic a long time ago. At first, he thought that Li Qing was a hero with dragon veins. He never thought that this was transformed from the dragon blood that Li Qing had refined himself.
Because that is really too outrageous.
Refining dragon blood is not an ordinary task. It does not mean gathering a large number of dog-headed man corpses together, chopping them into meat paste, and then refining them.
Instead, it requires extremely advanced knowledge of bloodlines and dragon clan to achieve this.
These very profound words are easy to pronounce, but are extremely difficult to actually put into practice. To extract dragon blood, to extract dragon blood that can be fused, and to extract dragon blood that can be used without any side effects are three different things.
At least among all the wizards under his command, none of them has the ability to refine the dragon bloodline.
When Nie Yang knew that Li Qing had this ability, he swallowed back what he was about to say, and instead asked with interest:
"When did you learn it? How is the refining efficiency now? Can you refine high-level dragon blood?"
Li Qing replied without hesitation:
"The efficiency is still good now. About ten thousand kobolds can extract one portion."
The one portion he was referring to was the number of ogre corpses that an ordinary mage specializing in mutation needed to extract a dragon bloodline, which usually cost around ten thousand.
But he only needs about two thousand, and the efficiency and purity are not on the same level.
He didn't dare say two thousand, that was too scary.
The instructor nodded and said:
"Your efficiency is pretty good. I can't believe you have quite a talent for mutation studies. If that's the case, I can support you to continue your research."
"But one thing is that it costs a lot to research this. Have you ever considered doing research and making some money at the same time by outsourcing?"
Li Qingqi said:
"I don't know what the teacher means by OEM?"
"It's very simple. Others will provide you with the materials for free. You will be asked to refine the dragon bloodline. Based on your current efficiency, you can refine one dragon bloodline from every 10,000 kobold corpses. It will be considered as a free training for you."
"If your efficiency is average, it is equivalent to just accumulating experience. If your efficiency is improved, you only need 8,000 or even less kobolds to extract a dragon bloodline. The remaining kobold corpses are your labor fees."
"this……"
Li Qing was delighted in his heart, but he remained calm on the outside and asked cautiously:
"I wonder if there are any other special requirements besides this. What if it fails?"
"If you fail, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck. But before that, we will definitely test your skills. And we won't give you too many orders at the beginning. Only when you gradually prove your skills will we give you bigger orders at a time."
"Oh, I'll take it then."
