After roaming around the necromancy paradise, Han Shuo spent the next few days recovering. When his mental strength was fully replenished, he went to the Dark Forest and caught a few magical beasts, continuing to practice the "Soul Tremor" magic.
Finally, one day, Han Shuo was able to control his mental strength as he pleased. He shot out a "Soul Tremor" magic, and a magical beast collapsed with blood flowing out of its mouth and nose.
When this "Soul Tremor" magic allowed him to control his mental strength at will, Han Shuo had already mastered all the magus spells of the archmage realm. Thus, he began to practice the spells that a higher level grand magus necromancer should be able to master.
First and foremost were the summoning spells for bone demons, old fey demons, and mummy lords. As necromancers progressed, not only would they be able to summon higher level undead creatures, they would also be able to summon more types of creatures. For example, Han Shuo, who was at the level of grand magus necromancer, could summon bone demons, old fey demons, and mummy lords, three undead creatures.
Although it was said that there were three summoning spells, apart from some differences in the incantations, there wasn't much difference in their essence. Bone demons, old fey demons, and mummy lords were undead creatures of the same level. Although their soul imprints were different, the difference in strength wasn't that great. As long as Han Shuo could master the summoning spell for one bone demon, he could change the incantation and summon the other two undead creatures as well.
However, just like the "Soul Tremor" magic, it would become more and more difficult for necromancers to master each spell as they progressed. The last time Han Shuo had possessed archmage necromancer Clarendon's understanding of necromancy magic was still completely useless.
From this realm onwards, Han Shuo had to slowly study every single necromancy magic he learned. Fortunately, there was a complete set of books within the cemetery of death for Han Shuo to study. Among them, there were countless books regarding the essence of necromancy magic.
While the three evil knights and twelve mystical demons were still refining, Han Shuo spent all his time studying necromancy magic at a deeper level.
Time unknowingly passed by a few days. On this day, as Han Shuo was chanting his incantations, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura coming from outside the cemetery of death.
Suddenly rousing himself from his thoughts, Han Shuo walked out of the cemetery of death with the skeletal staff in hand. He said to the pacing dark dragon Gilbert, "Why have you come?"
"Honored master, I sensed your presence. I just happened to be in the Valley of Sunshine, so I came to see you." Dark dragon Gilbert immediately cheered when he saw Han Shuo appear.
Dark dragon Gilbert hadn't changed much, but Han Shuo felt that Gilbert's aura seemed to have grown a bit stronger. When the charcoal-black Gilbert walked into the cemetery of death, he immediately took the initiative to report to Han Shuo about Tanai's situation in the Valley of Sunshine.
As dark dragon Gilbert narrated, Han Shuo gradually understood the situation in the Valley of Sunshine. Ever since Han Shuo had schemed against all the powers gathered by Tanai in the mithril mines, the four great powers had temporarily called a truce. Instead, they had focused all their attention on finding the mastermind behind the scenes.
Previously, Laureton had said that whoever found the mastermind first would maintain order in the Valley of Sunshine. Regardless of whether it was a large or small power, they had all tried to find the mastermind behind the scenes. However, several months had passed without any results.
Trunks understood that the real mastermind, Han Shuo, had left long ago. He pretended to be concerned about this matter while silently developing the Soul Destroyer mercenary band. Unknowingly, the originally nameless Soul Destroyer mercenary band had gradually become the fifth great power in the Valley of Sunshine due to abundant funds and Trunks' reputation.
After eating one of Han Shuo's Rebirth Pills, Trunks had broken through from swordmaster to great swordmaster. Among the various powers in the Valley of Sunshine, only Laureton, who could go berserk three times, could defeat him. Florida and Adam Menlo were both suppressed by him.
During this period of time, the Soul Destroyer mercenary band was in the limelight. The Soul Destroyer mercenary band under Trunks' control had absorbed even more outstanding experts. He had changed from his original ruthlessness to more sinister. He was no longer in a hurry to deal with Florida, but planned to slowly torture Florida bit by bit.
Dark dragon Gilbert and Trunks moved together, completing every mission appropriately. During this process, Gilbert often appeared in some brothels, using the martial method taught to him by Han Shuo to secretly absorb some yin qi. His strength was also rapidly improving.
After listening to Gilbert's introduction of the situation in the Valley of Sunshine, Han Shuo was somewhat worried. Trunks' Soul Destroyer mercenary band had become the fifth great power in the Valley of Sunshine. This also meant that the Soul Destroyer mercenary band also had the qualifications to participate in the struggle for power in the Valley of Sunshine. In the past, when the Soul Destroyer mercenary band didn't have this kind of strength, only Florida would spare no effort to kill him. But now that the Soul Destroyers truly had this kind of strength, the other three parties would naturally focus more attention on Trunks.
Even Laureton of the berserker tribe wouldn't be as friendly with Trunks as before. After all, Trunks had the strength to threaten their Cairo mercenary band. There were no eternal friends in this world. Once there was a real conflict of interest, it was very likely that some dirty things would happen.
Han Shuo pondered for a while, understanding that the development of Trunks and the others in the future wouldn't be so easy. However, Han Shuo believed in Trunks' ability and didn't pay too much attention to this matter. After thinking for a while, he faintly smiled and said to dark dragon Gilbert, "I'll give you something."
"What is it?" After Gilbert had explained the situation in the Valley of Sunshine to Han Shuo in detail, he asked in astonishment after hearing Han Shuo's words.
Han Shuo took out the green dragon's magical core from his space ring. The magical core glowed with green energy, and the enormous energy contained within immediately made Gilbert go wild with joy. He screamed, "The core of a super rank magical beast?"
"That's right, this is the core of a green dragon. I think this core should be useful to you, right?" Han Shuo smiled as he looked at Gilbert and asked.
Gilbert nodded incessantly like a chick pecking at rice, his face filled with excitement. He extended his right hand and held the Green Dragon's Demonic Core in his palm. He laughed maniacally and said, "It's useful! It's too useful! I can feel the enormous energy contained within. With this Green Dragon's Demonic Core, which is of a higher rank than mine, I can definitely evolve to Tier 2.
"Alright then, immediately swallow it and evolve in the cemetery of death." This green dragon core had been specially prepared by Han Shuo for dark dragon Gilbert. When he saw that Gilbert was about to go crazy with joy and excitement, he smiled at Gilbert.
Apart from being a lecher, dark dragon Gilbert was indeed a loyal servant. Last time in the forbidden land in the depths of the Dark Forest, dark dragon Gilbert had displayed loyalty that moved Han Shuo. Otherwise, the crazed Han Shuo might have fallen into the demonic path forever.
"Thank you, Master. Master, you are too great. Your loyal servant praises you from the bottom of his heart …" Holding the green dragon core, dark dragon Gilbert's flattery flowed out endlessly. Gilbert had interacted with others for a long time now, so his flattery skills had improved by another level. He almost didn't repeat a single sentence.
"Alright, alright, just swallow this green dragon core for me. Don't talk so much nonsense." Han Shuo interrupted Gilbert's flattery and said to Gilbert, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
This time, Gilbert didn't waste any more words and nodded excitedly. He said to Han Shuo, "Master, I need to transform into my original form. It's inconvenient in the cemetery of death, so I'll go outside."
"Go, but be careful. Don't mess up the formations I've set up." Han Shuo hastily reminded when he saw Gilbert excitedly walking out of the cemetery of death with the green dragon core in his hands.
"Don't worry, Master. I know what to do." Gilbert responded and stayed far away from the two formations that Han Shuo had set up. He transformed in another area before swallowing the green dragon core.
It looked like it wouldn't be long before Gilbert could become a rank two super rank magical creature. Han Shuo thought for a while and continued to study necromancy magic in the cemetery of death, chanting incantations repeatedly.
After a few more days, Han Shuo suddenly thought of the dwarves in the valley. He thought of the dwarves' forging skills and remembered his promise to the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi. He left the cemetery of death and made a trip to the dwarves' valley.
Winter had passed, and the dwarves' Tanai mountain was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. The dwarves guarding the valley all recognized Han Shuo. Han Shuo smoothly entered the dwarven valley and saw some dwarves brewing fruit wine. The dwarves brewing fruit wine cheered endlessly when they saw Han Shuo appear, regardless of whether they were adults or children.
A dwarf child who wasn't even a meter tall walked up to Han Shuo with a wine cup overflowing with the fragrance of fruit at the urging of a woman. "Uncle Han, here's some wine for you. It's delicious." The dwarf child stood on his tiptoes and handed the wine cup filled with fruit wine to Han Shuo.
Squatting down, Han Shuo rubbed the dwarf child's head and smiled as he accepted the wine cup, "Thank you!"
The dwarf child's face was red from smiling and he ran a bit shyly to his mother's side, saying, "Uncle Han, thank me."
The simple dwarves, whether old or young, all laughed heartily. Tanai was brimming with a cheerful atmosphere. It looked like the dwarves had been living quite well during this time.
Bennett, who'd come upon hearing the news, called out loudly from afar when he saw Han Shuo appear, "Hey Han, it's been a long time since you've been here!" Bennett should've been forging weapons just now. His upper arms were bare, his face was dark, and he held a large hammer in his left hand.
"Heh heh, I've been a bit busy lately. How have you been?" Han Shuo asked with a smile.
"Of course. Spring has arrived, and we haven't finished the food you gave us this winter. There's still a lot of cured meat. We've mined some ore, and I'm currently teaching the young people how we dwarves forge weapons. Our days are much better than before. "Bennett chuckled as he responded. He looked to be in good spirits.
"Elder, I've come to discuss a large business deal with you."
"Han, the doors to the dwarven valley will always be open to you. Forging weapons for you is the honor of us dwarves, it can't be considered business." Chief Calvin leaned on his walking stick and stroked his braided beard with a wide smile as he strolled out of a stone house in the distance.
Calvin was obviously old, and his body was growing weaker and weaker. It was inevitable that one would struggle to walk when one reached a certain age. Calvin's beard had all turned silver, and he needed to rely on his walking stick when he came over. It looked like he couldn't escape the fate of old age, sickness, and death either.
However, Calvin was in good spirits, and his chuckling expression made him appear full of friendliness. Two young dwarves took the initiative to support Calvin when they saw him appear. Bennett said, "Elder, why have you come out?"
"Han's here, of course I had to come and see. Bennett, I'm not as old as you think I am. Didn't I walk over here alone? Heh heh! " Calvin said with a smile. He then bowed to Han Shuo and said, "The dwarves of this valley will forever be grateful for your kindness. There is no business between friends. We will forge as many weapons as you need. This is our attitude towards our friends."
Han Shuo's main purpose in coming over this time was to have the dwarves forge some weapons for the lizardmen of the underground world. Han Shuo had promised the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi that he would help him take care of the lizardmen. Although the lizardmen had obtained some weapons from the dead Redbud Knights last time, those weapons were far from enough for them to use.
In addition, the lizardmen's bodies were different from ordinary humans. Han Shuo wanted the dwarves to forge some weapons for them. Of course, the city guards of Brettel City also needed weapons forged by the dwarves, because the weapons forged by the dwarves were much more outstanding than those forged by ordinary humans.
Calvin listened attentively to Han Shuo's description. When Han Shuo finished, Calvin smiled and said, "Don't worry, the children have been very free recently. We still have enough food and don't need to go out hunting. I will arrange for them to forge the weapons you need. "
"Many thanks to you, elder." Han Shuo said with sincere gratitude.
"Haha, there's no need to be so polite between friends. It's rare for you to come over. Have a good taste of the fruit wine we just brewed." Calvin said heroically, pulling Han Shuo towards the women who brewed the wine.
"Alright then, I will drink a few cups with elder!" Han Shuo readily agreed.
