The situation described by Feilin made everyone shudder, but it was extremely likely to happen. Extremely hungry animals could kill each other, not to mention that they were of different races and had been each other's food before.
It's just that this kind of history is too far away from them. Only immortal lichs like Feilin can remember what happened thousands of years ago.
"If you start killing each other, then the living undead lichs will no longer believe in peaceful coexistence. Then it will become like Devil's Valley, where humans are enslaved and killed, or like Winter City, where the ox-headed People are only worthy of trailers, and succubi are locked up as prostitutes. Instead of doing this, it is better to launch a natural disaster. From the souls of thousands of people, a dozen undead or lichs should appear."
In the end, Feilin made the final decision. The food could still last for half a year. There was no need to expel the low-end population in this half year. If we couldn't find a solution after eating, we would die together, and then silently pray that we could keep the life we had Memories, reincarnate into a lich or undead.
Feilin drew a very cruel timeline for everyone, but he himself did not want to see things develop to that point, so after the meeting, he quietly came to Ange.
Even though Ange came to such a remote place, it was easy for Feilin to find him, because he had spies everywhere in the underground city, and ghosts were scattered all over the city, making him a weapon for public security. Without such efficient means, it would be impossible for Feilin to manage this underground city where races are mixed into a place where everyone can live and work in harmony.
As soon as he saw Ange, Feilin immediately put on a flattering smile on his face. He ran quickly to Ange and said earnestly: "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you. I really have no choice but to come here." The main reason I am asking for your help is that the World Transfer Station is closed and we have no way to buy food. We have been struggling for almost a thousand years and we can no longer survive. I am here to buy food. I hope you can sell some food to us."
Feilin bent over and rubbed his hands, pointing to Ange's leather bracelet with a cautious look, not at all the domineering look he had during the ultimatum in the conference room.
But he didn't feel forced to do it at all. The person in front of him was the Lord Watcher, and he was probably the projection of the legendary immortal king who ruled all realms. What's wrong with being humble? Being able to talk to each other is already a great honor.
Ange tilted his head and looked at him inexplicably.
Feilin suddenly remembered something and suddenly said: "Exchange of equal value, exchange of equal value, here, here, ten soul crystals. The transmission channel has not been opened for a thousand years. Is it still the same price as before? It used to be one Soul crystals are exchanged for 200 kilograms of grain."
As Feilin said this, he took out ten black crystals from his arms and handed them to Ange.
Soul crystal? What it is? Is it the same as the crystal that activates the stone pillar? Ange thought in confusion and reached out to take it.
As soon as he got the Soul Crystal, Ange knew what it was for.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Soul crystal, a crystal condensed with soul energy, is the common equivalent among undead creatures.
Different creatures use different things like equivalents. Humans like to use precious metals, magicians like to use magic crystals, and undead creatures like to use soul crystals, because soul crystals are condensed from the essence of soul energy. after you get it, you can not only spend it, but you can also eat it to replenish soul energy.
Of course, soul energy is only useful to undead creatures, so soul crystals will only circulate among undead creatures.
Ange knew how to use it as soon as he touched it, just like humans know that water can be drunk as soon as they see it. Ange looked at the soul crystal in his hand, then looked at the leather jewelry on his wrist, and held the soul crystal directly. Place on leather trim to begin absorption.
The ten soul crystals turned into soul energy, and most of it was absorbed by the leather ornaments. After almost absorbing the energy, the leather ornaments lit up, and Ange's mind was suddenly pulled to another place.
After calming down and taking a look, it was the archway near the Palace of Rest Farm. Ange actually teleported back.
But what came back was only his mind, not his body. Mind acted as he wished. Ange thought about the farmland, and suddenly, his mind reached the location of the farmland.
There was nothing in the empty fields, not even the chirping birds that used to chirp. Other than that, nothing had changed from when he left.
Thinking about the granary, his mind came to the granary. Looking at the grain that filled the entire granary, Ange thought of Felin. He used soul crystals in exchange for grain. How could he get the grain out to him? As soon as his thoughts moved, the bags of food he looked at disappeared one by one, one bag, two bags, three bags... A total of forty-five bags disappeared before Ange felt the obstruction and the food bags stopped disappearing. .
Where did the food go? With a thought in his mind, Ange withdrew his thoughts. When he took a closer look, he saw that he was standing in a circle formed by grain bags, surrounding him. Outside the circle was Feilin, who was smiling so hard that his eyes disappeared.
"Forty-five bags, a total of forty-five bags. Although it is five bags less than before, it is normal. After a thousand years, the price has only increased by 10%. It is really wise. I will have someone come and move it right away." Feilin was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so he summoned a team of skeletons, each carrying a bag, and carried away all 45 bags of food in one breath.
Looking calm surroundings, Ange remembered Feilin's words, five bags?
Most of the soul crystals were absorbed by the leather jewelry, but a small part was absorbed by Ange. Is it because this part is missing that five bags are missing? Checking soul, it seems that it has indeed grown a bit.
Ange tilted his head and threw the question aside. His mind fell back on the leather ornaments. Following his thoughts, the leather ornaments lit up again, and in an instant, his thoughts were absorbed again.
Could it be that Leather has absorbed the energy of the soul crystal, so he can return here at any time? Ange's mind returned to the farm and the granary again, but he could no longer move the grain bags out. However, some stones could be moved out. After trying several times, he realized that the soul crystal energy injected into the leather jewelry was probably It is linked to weight, and once the corresponding weight is transferred, it cannot be transferred.
But there may be a little less than a bag left, so the slightly lower weight stones can be moved out.
There are only so many things going back and forth on the farm. Over the past thousand years, Ange has explored every corner. After playing for a while, it became boring. When he was about to quit, he habitually walked in the direction of the Palace of Rest look.
The Palace of Rest is majestic. Even though the king has disappeared for thousands of years, it is still a forbidden place that Ange does not want to set foot on. Previously, he had no choice but to go in and search for usable bones, but he still only dared to rummage around the edges, didn’t dare to go deep at all.
Even if can now control thoughts to move at will, should I go into the depths of the Palace of Rest and take a look? A bold idea came to Ange's mind.
