The city wall was the biggest symbol of a town on the Norland Continent.
Outside the town, there were manors of nobles and merchants, as well as farmlands of the poor. Then, a sturdy wall made of gray rocks became an obvious dividing line on the vast plain.
Generally speaking, the development of a town could be seen from the height of the city walls.
For example, the provincial capital of a province was even divided into an outer city and an inner city. The inner city had a moat.
The capital of the kingdom was divided into the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, and the palace. It could be said to be impregnable.
The more prosperous and higher-grade a town was, the sturdier their city would be and the higher their defense would be.
It was because there were more people with money and power living in such a city. They had a common characteristic, and that was fear of death!
The city wall of Goode Town was ten meters tall. The city wall was covered with city defense equipment and well-equipped city defense soldiers. Their average level was around level 5 to 10.
Because the town of Goode was close to the forest of monsters, the defense was especially important and there were many troops stationed there.
This time, a piece of news was sent to the viscount's mansion through the falcon.
Viscount Goode was sitting at the office desk by the window, reading the morning newspaper of Goode Town. He was elegantly drinking the black tea that the maid had brewed for him.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the study.
It was very urgent.
Viscount Goode elegantly took a sip of black tea. He frowned slightly and said,""Come in."
The door opened, and a servant from the viscount's mansion rushed in. He knelt on one knee and said,""Lord Viscount, there is news from Greene Town.”
"Greene Town?"
Viscount Goode crossed one leg and placed it on the chair. He gestured to the maid who was standing beside him with her hands tied to massage his leg and asked,""What's going on? You're so flustered. Could it be that the Beast Tide in the Demon Forest has erupted?”
"No…no. Lord Viscount, the mayor of Greene Town, Jock, is dead.”The servant hurriedly replied.
Viscount Goode waved his hand slowly."Got it. Go down. When the time comes, let's see who pays more money and let him be the mayor of Greene Town.”
"I thought it was just a small matter. Seriously, you're disturbing me from reading the morning newspaper.”
Viscount Goode was still brooding over the fact that he was interrupted by a servant from reading the newspaper.
There were at least eighteen towns of all sizes under the jurisdiction of Good Town. He did not care if a mayor died.
After all, he was just a mayor bought with money.
"Lord Viscount, the Harley Riders who went to collect the tribute also disappeared.”The servant added before he left.
"The Harley Knight is missing?"
Viscount Goode frowned.
The Harley Knight was related to him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to let the Harley Knight take the place of the original knight to collect the money.
The job of collecting money was very lucrative.
" This is a headache. Harley is my little lover's biological brother. Sigh…I have to give her an explanation no matter what…"
Viscount Goode rubbed the space between his eyebrows and looked up.""How troublesome. Then send an investigation team to take a look.”
The servant secretly wiped his cold sweat and said,"According to the intelligence, it might be a necromancer who killed Mayor Jock.”
"What is it? Necromancer!"
Viscount Goode was so shocked that he kicked the stool over. The maid who was massaging his leg was so frightened that she quickly retreated.
Viscount Goode, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly had a solemn expression.
Necromancer!
The more powerful one was, the more they knew how terrifying necromancers could be.
Necromancers didn't have strong bodies, and a knight could easily kill them. However, his appearance could very well mean that he represented an undead army.
Even the weakest necromancer could easily destroy a town if he had enough time. This was not an exaggeration at all.
It could be said that necromancers were like locusts on the Norland Continent, a disaster.
Necromancers were people that everyone could kill.
"If a necromancer has really appeared…immediately inform the others and send a team of knights to go to Greene Town with the investigation team.”
"In addition, call for the Grand Knight Kelly. To be on the safe side, go to the church and ask a priest to accompany you.”
"If you find a necromancer, kill him without mercy!”
Viscount Goode ordered in a heavy voice.
However, after thinking about it carefully, if he really was a necromancer, he should have been very careful. How could he have been so careless as to expose his whereabouts?
Moreover, what did he mean by only killing the mayor and a few others?
"Yes, Lord Viscount!"
After the servant received the order, he quickly retreated.
Viscount Goode felt that it was unlikely that it was a necromancer, so he drank his tea in peace.
"I'm afraid Mayor Green offended someone. After he killed him, he created the illusion of a necromancer and pushed the blame of murder to the notorious necromancer.”
Viscount Goode felt that it made sense after his deduction, so he didn't take it to heart.
In any case, a small team of knights led by a grand knight protected the priest and the so-called investigation team set off from Goode Town to Greene Town.
……
Gu Chuan did not know about this yet. He was studying the Demon King Altar.
The moment the Demon King Altar was formed, Gu Chuan's underground city was also upgraded.
Moreover, the originally thin demonic qi in the air seemed to gather rapidly with the Demon King Altar as the center.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before the demonic aura in the Buried City became denser and denser, making it suitable for dark creatures such as demons and undead to live in.
"Not bad, not bad."
Gu Chuan smiled.
He could clearly feel the connection between him and the Demon King Altar. It was faintly discernible, but as long as he entered the Demon King's body, the Demon King Altar would provide demonic energy for the Demon King's body to consume.
As a result, Gu Chuan's transformation into the Demon King lasted for a long time.
"Ding! Congratulations, Demon King, you have obtained the resources Demon Iron, Resentment Crystal, Demon Seed…"
"Ding! Congratulations, Demon King. You have received 10000 gold coins.”
After completing the Dungeon Main Mission, Gu Chuan received a series of rewards. He was so happy that his mouth was wide open.
Luna climbed up the Demon King Altar and lay down. She did two somersaults and felt that there was an endless stream of demonic energy gathering on it. It was very comfortable.
Luna opened her slender limbs and looked up at the bare black rocks above the underground city. She let out a comfortable cry.
"Brother…I want it again…"
Gu Chuan was stunned. Then, he climbed up the Demon King Altar and muttered,"This Demon King Altar is perfect for a bed!”
