After five days, Fabian and a group of merchants once again arrived at Brettel City. The supplies they'd brought this time were far greater than the last time. The enthusiasm of the merchants who'd tasted the sweetness was beyond Han Shuo's expectations.
This time, each merchant brought a caravan. Two earth dragons even appeared to pull the carriages. The earth dragons had bags of various sizes on their bodies, filled with goblin bombs and bags of crossbow bolts.
The supplies on the carriages at the back were covered tightly with gray canvas. However, judging from the high arched shape of the carriages, one could tell that they were war chariots with astonishing firepower. The carriages pulled by the two slow-moving earth dragons were five meters wide and a dozen meters long. Such a wide carriage could hold ten war chariots or catapults.
There were at least twenty war chariots pulled by the two earth dragons, and twenty-seven smaller carriages pulled by warhorses. Although these twenty-seven carriages weren't as large as the two earth dragons, each one could still hold three war chariots.
Further back were the Cloud Mover Beasts, which had the same ability to carry heavy loads as the earth dragons, but moved slowly. These Cloud Mover Beasts were twice the size of warhorses, and their four long legs were as thick as elephants. They carried bags of food and daily necessities on their backs, which should be enough to replenish Brettel City's stockpiles.
Compared to the last time, the number of merchants had doubled. Each of them was beaming with joy, their expressions relaxed as they discussed the rewards they'd receive along the way.
There were no more corpses on the road from Seamist City to Brettel City, nor were there any traces of bandits. Under Dorcas's sweep, all the disobedient bandits in the area were eradicated. The remaining obedient bandits were tamed and turned into diligent cleaners who cleaned up the rotting corpses.
These minute discoveries gradually put the new merchants at ease. When they arrived at Brettel City, Jack, as the financial officer of Brettel City, finished counting every batch of supplies and handed over the gold coins to the merchants on the spot.
The merchants who'd traveled thousands of miles were in a good mood after receiving their rewards. They weren't in a hurry to leave Brettel City. Instead, they began to tangle with Jack in an attempt to open a shop in Brettel City.
"Jack, the Boozt Merchant Guild also plans on establishing a branch in the city. Arrange a suitable location for us." Fabian said to Jack.
"Understood, the Boozt Merchant Guild branch will definitely be arranged first." Jack happily agreed, ignoring the dissatisfaction of the surrounding merchants. He pulled Fabian to the side and said sneakily, "Have these people really thought it through and decided to set up shop in Brettel City?"
"Yes, after the defeat of the four bandit groups, Brettel City has become a good place for merchants to find treasures under our deliberate promotion. To be honest, the mines around Brettel City were rich in minerals. As long as they had enough craftsmen, Brettel City could use these ores to create weapons.
Brettel City was the pass closest to the seven grand duchies. To the seven grand duchies, Lancelot's luxurious clothes, porcelain, and other luxuries were something the nobles of the seven grand duchies would gladly spend large amounts of money to purchase. The valiant warhorses, furs, and gems produced by the seven grand duchies were something the Lancelot Empire needed.
If it wasn't for the fact that Brettel City's safety couldn't be guaranteed, a city with such an excellent location like this would have long since become a place where merchants would fight to make a fortune. Now that we've released the news of Brettel City's great victory over the four bandit groups and the removal of the obstacles on the road, many guilds working with the Boozt Merchant Guild have taken the initiative to come over.
This is only the first batch. Just wait and see, as long as Brettel City's safety can truly be assured, more and more merchants chasing huge profits will definitely swarm into Brettel City. At that time, Brettel City would be extremely lively even if it didn't want to. "Fabian explained to Jack.
"It looks like my choice was indeed wise." After hearing Fabian's words, little fatty Jack's chubby face was smiling so widely that even his little eyes were almost invisible. Little fatty Jack then said to Fabian, "Do you know how many valuable things Brian brought back from his trip to the underground world this time? Haha, uncle, I now have more than two million gold coins in my hands that I can use. If I include the crystals, gold, silver, and jewelry, the wealth I hold in my hands is more than three million gold coins. I've never dared to believe that I could hold such a large sum of money before."
Fabian was obviously taken aback by Jack's words. He then sighed and said, "You brat, follow Brian well. The fact that he's given you such a large sum of money is enough to prove his trust in you. Based on this situation, as long as you continue to work hard in Brettel City, becoming a noble in the future won't be difficult at all."
"Don't worry uncle, I know what to do. Those crystals, gold, silver, and jewelry still need to be sold through merchant guilds. As long as there's enough gold coins, Brettel City will become an impenetrable fortress. "Jack replied.
"There are ready-made merchants here. I think they'll definitely be interested in the things you have in your hands. You can directly trade with them." Fabian laughed heartily and said, "I still have to go see Brian. Miss Phoebe asked me to bring some things to him."
"Go, he's waiting for you." Jack replied.
After leaving Jack's place, Fabian found Han Shuo's room. Han Shuo had been waiting for a long time when he knew that Fabian was coming. When he heard Fabian's footsteps, Han Shuo welcomed him in and said with a smile, "Mister Fabian, did Phoebe ask you to bring me anything?"
"Of course, the things you need are inside this space ring." Fabian replied with a smile and handed a space ring to Han Shuo. Han Shuo held the space ring and scanned it with his mental strength. He immediately smiled.
"Give this sword to Phoebe for me. You must be careful. Don't let anything go wrong along the way." Taking out the divine weapon "Starry Sky", Han Shuo cautiously handed it to Fabian. He reminded him again, "This is the divine weapon" Starry Sky "in the hands of Celt, commander of the Redbud Knights. You should be able to imagine its value."
Fabian's expression immediately turned grave when he heard Han Shuo's words. He stored the divine weapon "Starry Sky" into his own space ring and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it to Miss Phoebe."
"Have Phoebe continue to collect the items on this list for me." Han Shuo took out another list and handed it to Fabian.
"Alright, I know what to do." Fabian put away the list and continued to promise.
After Fabian left, Han Shuo found Chester and gave him a few instructions before returning to the cemetery of death.
The Cemetery of Death was filled with a deathly aura all year round. Amidst the pure white bones, there was now a huge, oval-shaped crypt. This crypt was surrounded by twelve multi-colored banners. Each of the banners was about ten meters tall and fluttered in the windless Cemetery of Death. Strange symbols were drawn on each of the banners.
The enormous oval-shaped crypt was filled with sharp bone spikes. A portion of these spikes had been plucked from the dead green dragon by Han Shuo, while the other portion had been obtained from the forbidden area last time. All of them were the bones of dead super rank magical creatures.
Han Shuo poured bucket after bucket of black and purplish liquid into the enormous oval-shaped crypt. When all of the black and purplish liquid had been poured into the crypt, Han Shuo took out even more buckets of liquid from his space ring and poured them all into the crypt.
These liquids were either stinking blood or filthy juices. They came in all sorts of colors and smelled terrible. After a few dozen buckets of all kinds of liquids had been poured into the crypt, Han Shuo took out a dagger and cut open his wrist. Drops of fresh blood dripped down.
As soon as Han Shuo's blood dripped into the liquid, faint red smoke suddenly appeared. The drops of Han Shuo's blood didn't immediately dissolve into the liquid, but instead began to churn like red agates. The calm liquid crackled like a pot of boiling oil as Han Shuo's blood continuously dripped down.
Han Shuo raised his head to the sky and howled. The howl was filled with sinister killing intent, like a dragon's roar. The Demonslayer Edge shot out from the back of Han Shuo's neck. Souls with contorted faces and silent wails poured into the twelve banners like snakes. After nearly a hundred souls entered the banners, the banners suddenly exploded with killing intent that soared to the heavens.
When the killing intent floated out of the banners, it seemed to be attracted by the liquid in the crypt and floated to the surface of the liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye. Han Shuo's blood that had been unable to dissolve gradually dissolved into the liquid in the crypt, disappearing without a trace after a while.
Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo circulated his magical yuan to the wound on his wrist. Under Han Shuo's watchful gaze, the wound that had been cut by the dagger quickly healed.
Taking out the skeletal staff, Han Shuo quickly chanted an incantation. Three evil knights suddenly appeared in front of Han Shuo. When the three evil knights appeared, Han Shuo pointed the skeletal staff in his hand at the crypt. The three evil knights, guided by the power of the contract, walked into the crypt one after another.
When the first evil knight and his warhorse entered the crypt, the evil knight and his warhorse suddenly roared soundlessly in unison. Both the evil knight and warhorse howled to the sky. When the dark brown armor and warhorse came into contact with the liquid in the crypt, popping sounds immediately rang out. Puffs of light smoke rose from where their bodies were connected to the liquid.
The evil knight and his warhorse seemed to be enduring endless pain. The evil knight, who had never dared to resist, suddenly tried to break free from the power of the contract. His body writhed violently, wanting to leave the crypt that was causing him unbearable pain.
Unlike low-level existences such as the Skeleton Warriors, the Evil Knights possessed extremely powerful combat abilities and were considered to have true wisdom in the Undead Dimension. Although their powerful strength was bound by the power of the contract, they still instinctively wanted to struggle when this kind of torture, which was even more painful than being completely dissipated, occurred.
Han Shuo gripped the skeletal staff and cursed in a low voice, "How can you be reborn from the ashes without experiencing inhumane pain and torture? You ungrateful thing. You'll only understand what the pain you're experiencing right now when your body becomes stronger after you've been tempered. Just the materials for this' Twelve Demon Breeding Soul Crushing Formation 'will cost at least a hundred thousand gold coins. Don't struggle ungratefully!"
As Han Shuo cursed in a low voice, he used his mental strength to suppress the evil knight's resistance. He also used his mental strength to force the other two evil knights into the crypt.
Like the first evil knight, the other two evil knights who had been forced into the core of the "Twelve Demon Breeding Soul Crushing Formation" by Han Shuo's mental strength also began to resist amidst the unbearable pain. They tried to break free from the power of the contract that Han Shuo had placed on them.
Han Shuo could easily deal with one evil knight, but when the three evil knights and their fire-breathing warhorses resisted together, even Han Shuo found it difficult to deal with them. He had no choice but to use all of his mental strength to suppress the impact of the three evil knights and their mounts on the power of the contract.
"Nine Demon Breeding Revolutions, Soul Crushing Return, Eliminate!" As he used his mental strength to suppress the three evil knights, Han Shuo also had to divert his attention to control the great formation.
After he said this, the killing intent on the twelve banners grew even thicker. The banners had been painted with runes, but after the power of evil spirits poured into them, twelve sinister and frightening ghost faces slowly appeared. Although each ghost face had a different shape, they were all equally frightening.
These twelve sinister and frightening ghost faces were exactly the same as the twelve demon heads that had entered Han Shuo's body when he had first advanced to the separate demon realm. When the twelve sinister ghost faces appeared on the banners, the twelve demon heads slowly flowed out of Han Shuo's body and occupied the respective banners.
When the twelve demon heads returned to the banners from Han Shuo's body, the killing intent on the banners suddenly gathered at the center of the crypt. The three evil knights and their mounts felt as if their soul imprints had been set ablaze. Their soundless roars became even more ferocious as they frantically attacked the power of the contract with their minds.
Han Shuo immediately stopped moving and put away the skeletal staff. He closed his eyes and sat down in front of the crypt where the three evil knights were. He used all of his mental strength to suppress the three evil knights. The three evil knights brandished the huge bone spurs in their hands and danced above the evil knight's head. It seemed as if they could behead Han Shuo at any time.
