Chapter 409 Omen of Change
When Anves left half a day later, two silhouettes in robes, quietly The sound appeared in the ruins of the house that had been ‘burned’ to the point where only skeletons remained.
Despite the word flame in its name, necromantic flames are actually fueled only by negative energies and souls. When the power stored in the ring was exhausted, Sen Leng’s flames went out.
“There is a dark crow’s breath here. Although it is very light, there is nothing wrong with him. He must have stayed here before. And those people were solved by some kind of Illusion Technique trap and did not detect it. The magical aura of other people.”
The person standing on the left crouched down, picked up a handful of the strange pale dirt on the ground, checked it with magic, and came to a conclusion.
“The last direction of the breath seems to point to the border of the Silvermoon Kingdom.”
“It seems that he has not lost all his power, or at least can use it in some way. .”
Nodding, the mage on the right was not surprised.
“Although he has lost his former power, as long as his memory and knowledge are still there, he will be completely impossible to resist.”
“Arrange more people to carry out more work on him. High-density search, after a long run, his power will inevitably be consumed very quickly, and there is no time to set up traps.
Try to let those low-level professionals go to death, and his last The strength is also consumed to prevent the opponent from fighting back.”
The search plan was determined, and the two sorcerers disappeared again.
At the same time, the news about the item possessed by the Dark Crow also made more people come to the Kingdom of Morn to try one’s luck to see if they can find the target.
After all, according to the reward, as long as you find that pendant, you basically don’t have to worry about the resources for subsequent breakthroughs.
.
….….
A few days later, at two o’clock in the afternoon.
“Detected that the airship ‘Lucky Wyvern’ is about to enter the port, please prepare the twenty-eighth tower for docking-“
With the soft broadcast sound of magic, in the sky The clouds were split to both sides, and the huge spindle-shaped airship like a cloud whale slowly landed, docked on the corresponding tower, and cast a cloud-like shadow on the busy street below.
Cavore’s brother Chamber of Commerce emblem in silver and blue is prominently printed on both sides of the airship’s airbags, gleaming in the afternoon sun.
As the cabin door that had been casted with special magic lifted, Anves adjusted his collar, carried a cane with a round handle and a suitcase, got up and stepped off the airship with many passengers and entered the waiting hall.
He is still playing the role of the travel mage Vio at this time. He has a reasonable identity on the surface, and it is often more convenient to act.
Landon and Leah are still on their way and killing mobs. Although they set off early, because they are traveling by land and have to avoid the enemy’s search, they are far from reaching Silvermoon Kingdom, at least. Also need half a month or so.
As described in all biographies, the enemy will always send some subordinates that the protagonist group can barely cope with due to various reasons, so that the protagonist can grow up quickly.
Looking up at the large sign at the entrance of the hall, ‘Welcome to the Itel Federation! ‘Anves walked out of the Caborre brother’s flight to the Chamber of Commerce, took the flyer about building a network pilot that a newsboy at the door distributed free of charge to foreign tourists, and strolled around Silver Moon City at will.
Last year’s New Year’s Day, in order to secretly go to that overseas island, he briefly visited the royal capital of the Loran Kingdom, and then went to Port Dilas.
Compared with the prosperity there, Silver Moon City, the capital of the Silver Moon Kingdom, is not inferior, and the degree of construction is even stronger than there.
There are more construction vehicles on the street than the usual magic carriage.
However, this prosperity was exchanged for everything from more people at the bottom.
In the past life, there is a recognized fact that the fuse that promotes the second construction change is not the development of construction technology, but a new breakthrough of the necromancy school – the second generation. High IQ Undead Architecture.
Originally, as a super city, Silver Moon City everyday all will have many unidentified corpses.
Since the rise of the wizarding construction industry, many people have discovered a new use for these corpses: turning them into skeleton laborers and throwing them into construction factories to work.
The costs and benefits of using normal workers are completely disproportionate to those of using skeleton labor.
Because normal workers need to rest, need to eat, and need a more comfortable working environment, Wan accidentally dies, and according to federal law, their family members are also given pensions.
Undead creatures do not need to eat and rest, and do not need to receive wages. They are locked in small boxes and can keep working forever.
And, due to the proper maintenance of magic, an undead is enough to work for ten years without sleep, and if its joints are regularly maintained and lubricated, it can even be extended to fifteen to twenty years.
Although not as efficient as a daoist, the working hours are far beyond.
And, due to the immortality of undead creatures, it can also handle some low-level and repetitive tasks.
In Anves’ impression, especially when the next third generation of high-intelligence undead were created, these tireless workers were immediately welcomed by all Chamber of Commerce and nobles.
As a result, a large number of ordinary persons who once had stable jobs lost their jobs, and unemployment means losing the income they depend on for a living.
These original workers are often the head of the family and the prime-age labor force.
When they lose their jobs and income, it’s devastating for a family.
Waiting for their fate, only to sell their sons and daughters.
Rich merchants and minor nobles are happy to see it, and can buy good servants and playthings at very cheap prices.
The increasing number of such phenomena will inevitably lead to instability at the bottom of society.
Some people in high positions can see the problem, but don’t have a good solution.
It’s not that the small and medium aristocrats can’t see the hidden dangers behind this, but compared with the gold coin directly in front of them, they don’t care. In their eyes, the sky is falling, and there are also big aristocrats at the top. bear.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Using ordinary workers is not as efficient and productive as skeleton workers, but the total cost is much higher. This results in people who use skeleton labor at a much lower cost than people who don’t use skeleton labor.
As a result, they can sell the finished products at a lower price and gain greater market competitiveness.
In Anves’ perspective of destiny, the destiny that pervades this super city has been vaguely converged into a vortex, as chaotic and unpredictable as the alchemy cauldron of Demoness.
This phenomenon means that this giant city will be the center of the stage, the center of the storm, for some time to come.
However, this phenomenon is not only visible to him. Several other Eighth Rank prophets can basically notice the anomaly here as long as they are not blind.
