Chapter 94: Enslaving the War Lizard
In fact, his subsidy reached the maximum, which in itself had squeezed out the investment of some other family members who performed slightly worse.
Without any support, they invested the maximum subsidy based solely on a letter from their supervisor. They only knew from the letter that his performance was good, but some supervisors did not even know how well he performed.
No matter what, the family has done its best, and Li Qing has absolutely no complaints.
With money, you can do a lot of things.
First, 10 million was spent to purchase 10,000 white-listed people.
They are all indigenous humans. The reason why their prices are the same as those of kobolds is mainly because kobolds can extract dragon blood, so the price of kobolds is much higher than that of useless races such as goblins.
As a result, the population of his divine domain suddenly jumped to more than 18,000.
There are still more than one thousand but less than two thousand vacancies left, which are prepared for the dragon vein snake people and other powerful races that may be added.
This is completely enough. The Dragon Vein Snake People need a little mysterious light and the restriction of a standard dragon bloodline. Their numbers are destined to not increase and can only increase slowly. The main body of the divine realm is still human.
This is also the main reason why he sold the two snakeman cards. The number is too small. What is the point of turning snakemen into the main race?
Then, Li Qing used the channel to order a batch of precious magic materials on the academy's campus trading website, including the blood of various powerful creatures, refined gold, secret silver, magic iron, various magic gems, various special magic metals, and other materials for building the wizard tower.
All in all, the total cost was more than 80 million.
This is only a small part of it. The bulk of the construction of the Wizard Tower is various processed magic metals, enchanted stones, and the most troublesome hand-painted magic arrays throughout the tower. These all need to be made piece by piece by hand by himself.
To be honest, these 80 million worth of materials are less than one-tenth of the total investment in the Mage Tower.
Normally, if you want to build a wizard tower, if you take into account all the materials and labor costs, the total value is at least more than 10 billion, and can reach tens of billions.
But if it was a low-profile wizard tower like the one he stole from the snake people, all the costs added up might be just over 100 million.
But it’s impossible to sell it to the college for 100 million.
Then he bought two Soul Slavery Scrolls, each costing 10 million.
After finishing all this, I only had about 10 million yuan left.
Li Qing did not continue to buy, but instead checked the campus network and asked the family housekeeper about his parents' news.
I learned from the housekeeper that my father came back once half a year ago with the elders of the family he served, stayed for about a month, and then returned to the foreign dimension.
Li Qing pondered for a moment, and suddenly checked the safe deposit box that his parents opened for him in Blackstone Bank. Sure enough, he found that his parents had left a package for him in the safe deposit box of Blackstone Bank half a year ago.
He registered at the bank and took the package out. Less than an hour later, the package was handed to him.
When I opened the package, I found a small sandalwood box inside. There was a card on the surface with words written on it. When I took it out and looked at it, it turned out to be a letter from home.
The content generally introduces their current situation, as well as some interesting things about the alien landing, including the situation of the plane that is currently being conquered.
That plane is a medium-sized plane that the family is trying its best to conquer. A hundred years have passed since its discovery, and now an empire dominated by humans has been successfully established on that plane, occupying a territory of more than two million square kilometers, forming a stalemate with the overlord of this plane, the Orc Empire.
Speaking of foreign lands, the most common races are orcs and half-orcs.
And this orc is not necessarily the orc we imagine, because orcs are a very complex race, basically any species evolved from animals are included in it.
Even the minotaurs in different planes have huge differences. There is a big difference between the minotaurs evolved from ordinary buffaloes and those evolved from wild bulls.
The family had more than a dozen official war lords and hundreds of clansmen. After a hundred years of development, it was barely able to gain a foothold in that plane.
It seems very average, and I feel like their level is too poor. It seems that they are not even stronger than the group of apprentices.
In fact, it is not the case. The reason why they can survive so easily in this plane fragment is mainly because they have the support of the academy. The Blackrock Tower of the academy had suppressed the remaining plane will in this plane fragment long before they came, and suppressed the snake people and the leaders of another kingdom underground.
That's why they can roam around so easily in this plane.
If there is no suppression from the academy, just attack a plane normally.
It was okay in the early stages, after all, it was on the edge of the plane and the Snake Kingdom could not be discovered.
But as soon as they begin to formally attack the snakeman town and capture it, they will face a strong counterattack from the snakeman kingdom.
Well, that assumes they can capture the town and withstand the support of the Serpent Master.
First of all, the great lord to whom the town belongs will definitely send out a reconnaissance team to investigate the situation as soon as possible.
After finding out the situation, we immediately sent troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion.
If the divine realm has not yet been opened, you can hide in the deep mountains and forests for a while.
If the divine realm is unfolded, then you are on your own.
Once discovered, they will be immediately surrounded and hunted down by the overlord.
You have to know that there is no academy to look after the real plane invasion. Most of the time, I go there alone with my men, and there is basically no support.
If you can’t defeat them, you’ll be in trouble.
Even if you can win, you can repel one wave, but can you repel the second wave?
As you make more and more noise within the plane, you will gradually be discovered by the will of the plane, thus attracting the hostility of the entire plane.
Generally speaking, if there is a main civilization on a plane, it will naturally reject foreign outsiders. When the noise caused by foreign outsiders is too great, it will attract the attention of the plane's will. Under the guidance of the plane's will, the main civilization on the plane will be particularly hostile to foreign invaders, and then... everyone will become the enemy.
At this time, can you withstand wave after wave of comprehensive attacks from the entire plane?
Just like in this plane, if after destroying the first snakeman town, the snakemen suddenly sent out a force led by several extraordinary strong men to attack, who could stop them?
Even if you can hold off on it, what about the stronger second wave that comes later?
You have to know that in the alien dimension, there are not so many replenishments, it is not like they can easily replenish various supplies and losses now.
The interval between opening and closing a long-distance plane channel is at least one year, and opening it once consumes a large amount of source matter and energy. In addition, the opening of the plane will be rejected by the plane's instinct, and the consumption will increase exponentially if it is opened continuously. No one can keep it open for too long.
anyway.
The plane that the family is currently attacking is the family's second plane. After successfully establishing the kingdom, they have basically gained a firm foothold. Even if they do not continue to expand their territory, they can still obtain a steady stream of stable income in the future.
For example, the kingdom itself has various taxes, various minerals, medicinal materials, precious trees, various economic crops, some rare magical resources, and various plane-unique resources, etc.
It is worth mentioning that this tax does not refer to money within the plane, but food.
The taxes collected in the territories occupied by war lords are not money, but grain.
Although the indigenous agricultural output is not high, it is large in scale.
Moreover, the lords will also find ways to increase their production. After all, many inland planes are vast and sparsely populated. If they develop more, they can earn a considerable income just from growing crops.
However, whether a plane is valuable or not still depends on whether the plane produces rare resources.
Although food is a necessity, it is not worth much money and you can only earn hard-earned money from it.
At least in this plane fragment dominated by snake people, no valuable resources have been found yet. In addition, the plane is mountainous and has little water, so the cultivated area is not large, and grain production is not realistic.
Without special resources , this plane fragment is basically worthless.
Of course, if you are strong enough to sweep across the entire plane, you can still occupy it.
Although the resources are few, there are still some. If the cost is not too high, it can still be conquered. After all, it is a plane.
The open day ended quickly and many apprentices received some support to varying degrees.
Li Qing walked out of the God's Domain Tower with two Soul Slavery Scrolls and summoned Long Falong to gather on the second floor of the God's Domain Ranch.
First, he took a large amount of stones, decomposed them in the space in his palm, and then combined them into stone pillars that were ten meters wide and thick, but seventy meters high. Then he began to dig a hole in the edge corner of the Divine Domain Ranch.
A 7-shaped trench was dug, one hundred meters long and twenty meters deep. Then the stone pillars were inserted into the trench and assembled into a fifty-meter-high prison at the corner of the pasture.
Then the group climbed to the top of the 50-meter-high city wall, took out the War Lizard Summoning Card and started summoning.
As the card was used, the collapse turned into a huge ball of white light and condensed into a war giant lizard that was twenty meters long from head to tail. It appeared in the air and then fell into a pit fifty meters deep.
As soon as the monitor lizard was summoned, it let out an angry roar and tried to climb up along the left and right sides of the stone prison.
However, the surface of this stone pillar is so smooth that there is no fulcrum at all. The height of twenty meters embedded in the ground can ensure that it will not be pushed over. The war lizard has the size but cannot reach it.
Don't expect to jump out. This thing is only twenty meters from head to tail. There is no way it can jump to a height of fifty meters, or even thirty meters.
Li Qing did not take any action at first, but let the giant lizard roar and struggle wildly inside, waiting for it to get tired and hungry first.
Li Qing's original plan was to use the hatched multi-headed lizard as a war beast bound to the divine realm, but later he got a war lizard summoning card, so the plan naturally had to change.
The hydra lizards have just hatched. Even if there is an adequate supply of food, it will take at least ten years to grow to adulthood. How can it be compared to the war lizards that can be used now?
It's just a matter of a Soul Slavery Scroll worth ten million, it's a small problem.
I have to say it is worthy of being a giant beast, with amazing physical strength and endurance.
Even though he had been struggling here for nearly two hours and was still full of energy, Li Qing couldn't wait any longer, so he asked Long Fa and Long Fa to take turns watching here, and he went back first.
If you have the time, why not learn more? You have your subordinates watching you anyway.
It took five full days to receive news from Long Shou that the giant lizard was almost starving.
At this time, Li Qing had already looked at the entire set of drawings of the Iron Golem that he had purchased.
When we arrived at the stone prison, the giant lizard was lying underneath and sleeping, saving a lot of energy.
He took out a stone as big as his head and smashed it down. The monitor lizard just opened its eyes and looked at it, but didn't move.
"It looks like he is really tired."
Li Qing nodded, made some preparations, then took out a soul slavery scroll, opened the seal and unfolded it. His eyes fell on a line of activation spells on the scroll and he began to recite them silently.
This kind of scroll is different from ordinary spell scrolls. Ordinary spell scrolls can be activated by stimulating with mana, but this kind of high-end scroll also requires reciting the spell above, mainly to prevent accidental triggering.
After all, the price is not cheap, ten million per piece.
Soon the scroll was activated and began to burn and turned into balls of clear light. Li Qing looked down and the clear light fell and sank into the body of the sleeping war lizard.
The next second, the giant lizard jumped up suddenly as if it was pricked by a needle, and let out a painful roar. The huge force caused the fifty-meter-high stone wall to bang.
But unfortunately, struggling is useless. Soul enslavement, as the name suggests, is not a gentle method.
After the scroll completely turned into light and disappeared, Li Qing immediately signaled Long Shou to throw the cows he had just prepared into the stone prison.
The mad war lizard immediately struggled to pounce on the falling cow when it saw it, opened its mouth, bit the cow, and swallowed it whole.
Cows were thrown down one by one, and some sheep and pigs were thrown in to improve the taste.
A large amount of food fell into its mouth. The giant lizard, which had been hungry for five days, ate frantically, not even caring about the pain caused by soul enslavement.
Later, Li Qing took out a few pure blood and flesh essence crystals and threw them down. The monitor lizard that was eating paused for a moment, spit out a pig next to its mouth, quickly crawled to the blood and flesh essence crystals, licked them with its tongue, and a large piece of grass and soil was licked into its mouth.
It has to be said that for this creature with a low IQ, whoever gives you milk is your mother.
If there is no severe hunger, using the soul slavery contract directly may not succeed in the face of strong resistance.
It’s different if you feed them while beating them after they’ve been severely starved, and the intensity of their resistance will drop significantly.
What happened next was a natural progression. After the soul slavery contract came into full effect, Li Qing's consciousness clearly sensed the existence of a new consciousness.
It is the will of this war lizard that allows him to issue various instructions directly to the consciousness of the war lizard.
This is the effect of the soul slavery contract. As the person who recited the original spell in the scroll, Li Qing is the superior of this soul slavery contract and can completely control the soul of the contract slave.
In addition to the fact that the slavery contract itself has the power to change the soul of the contracted person to a certain extent, the superior can control the giant lizard by controlling the soul.
The control from the soul is absolutely impossible to resist. Unless the strength of the person under the contract suddenly increases N times and becomes more than ten times stronger than the superior, it is basically impossible to break free from the contract.
