Pioneering

after the war.

Derek was on his way to Chang'an City.

The azure blue radiance of divine power broke through the silence of the night, and the enormous coercion startled countless terrified animals, fleeing desperately into the distance, and a blurry figure became more and more clear in the divine power.

Derek only felt a tightness in his chest, and a faint warning instinct seemed to tell him that disaster was imminent.

"Sigh, Your Excellency the Sea God, it would be disrespectful for a god to embarrass a mortal like this."

A golden torrent suddenly appeared in the sky, impacting the continuously gathering blue divine light, and the gradually formed figure became blurred under the wear of the golden color.

"God of Wealth, rob me of my believers, rob me of my artifacts, now I teach a mortal that you can block it, don't go too far!" There were gloomy words from the gathering place of divine power.

"I didn't start this war. You started it. How it ends is up to you. God, you have to learn to afford to lose!"

"It's really difficult for you. Why, you can't even find the consumables for the coming of a saint? How much do you look down on me for the way of coming incarnation?" Zhong Ming teased.

"...Are you really not willing to hand over even a mortal to me?" Sea God said.

"You lower your head a bit. I can't even protect a mortal. How can I mess around when I go to the Star Realm in the future? Do I want to lose face!"

"Go back, you!" Zhong Ming took out the trident scepter, possessed divine power, and used it as a sap, breaking up the process of Sea God's descent.

"Hit me with my divine weapon, I'll kill you" After a muffled grunt, the figure of Seagod who hadn't had time to greet him disappeared into the sky.

"I'm sorry, but now, they are my artifacts." Zhong Ming shook the trident scepter in his hand, feeling quite good in the hand, but it was a bit short.

The three ways of gods descending into the material world are projection, incarnation, and the descent of saints. You have all reduced to the point of using incarnation.

You use an avatar, you deserve to be angry!

You use an avatar, you are not qualified to talk to me at all!

With the signing of the "Chang'an Contract", the war ended, and the oath not to intervene directly also dissipated. Zhong Ming, who was always paying attention to everything, got the three artifacts first, and immediately ran to Derek.

After all, he is doing things for himself, and Derek can be said to be tied with John for the MVP of the Northern Continent War. He performed extremely well.

Sure enough, he successfully blocked Sea God once.

What Zhong Ming didn't expect was that the way Sea God chose to descend this time would be incarnation, and the solution was very easy.

The incarnation of a deity is equivalent to a deity using divine power to condense a clone, which is not limited by the coordinates of believers, but requires some divine consciousness to settle in the avatar to manipulate it in the air. It is closely related to the god's deity. Divine consciousness will be impaired.

It is far less risky than the coming of the saint, and the speed is fast. Before it is fully condensed, it is easily broken up by Zhong Ming, destroying the incarnation process.

That being said, poor Derek, being targeted by the narrow-minded Sea God, may not be far away from Chang'an City in this life, and tourism consumption may be completely out of his reach.

But he didn't shout all day long to go home and live an ordinary life, it should be quite in line with his wishes...

Approve military exploits, issue pensions, reward knight titles, compensate nobles and civilians affected by military disasters, divide administrative regions, rectify the security of the newly acquired territories, arrange bureaucrats, select and train talents in the new territories, and relieve the new subjects with work relief, Adjust arming...

Zhong Ming, who had finally been idle for a while, can enjoy the blessings of entrepreneurship again...

It's a pity that he brought a one-third-time working system to the people in the world of Zoya, but he often had to work overtime.

However, before starting to work, there is still one thing to deal with—the lich that appeared in the western provinces is still hunting and killing the Weiserd Expeditionary Force that has surrendered.

Previously, the Yashai personnel who accepted the surrender of the Viserd Expeditionary Army were also nobles who were newly transferred to the western provinces. After more than three years of hard work, they turned into ashes. In order to vent their anger, they turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, letting The lich went to hunt the brutes of Wizard.

Anyway, the lich still seemed quite rational, and he only shot at Wized's people, and did not hurt others.

But recently, the lich has been killing more and more vigorously. It has almost slaughtered one-third of the Weised expeditionary force that has surrendered.

Although I don't dare to say anything without explaining to the Principality of Wized, who can guarantee that the lich who kills and becomes stronger can always maintain his current rationality?

What if they start to attack Yasha's people?
So this news was uploaded layer by layer, and Zhong Ming paid attention to it.

There are two theories about the origin of the Lich, one is from the self-transformation experiments of powerful wizards when their lifespan is close to the limit, and the other is from the creation of the Blood Moon Goddess.

The folk image of a lich is generally pale as a corpse, rotting and wrinkled, revealing a disgusting putrid smell.

Her hair had already been burned or fell off, her face was distorted and hideous, her eyes were shining with strange green or red light, and her fingers were long and sharp, as if they could easily pierce muscles and flesh.

Usually, there will be an extremely cold chill all over its body. Liches have extraordinary racial talents for ice spells and dark spells.
Liches are also good at necromancy and curse spells, and they can even summon legions of the undead to fight for them. They have the reputation of being an army with one man, and they are the top class of golden creatures. Occasionally, there will be liches who are not inferior to the blood of demigods.

When Zhong Ming found the Lich who was causing trouble, he knew that the folk rumors were really not to be trusted, at least the rumors about the appearance of the Lich were not true at all.

The female lich in front of her is graceful and graceful, with thick black curly hair hanging down, as deep as the night.The slender figure is wrapped in a tight black robe, and the hem of the robe is decorated with mysterious runes.

Her skin was so pale that it was sickly, and her lips were blood red, giving people a contrast between ice and fire.The deep eyes exude emptiness and mystery, as if they can see through the soul.

If this is called an ugly lich, then ninety-nine percent of the lives on the mainland can be regarded as crypt worms.

"This, Miss Lich, what's your name?"

Under the red moonlight, Zhong Ming, who was wearing a deep black windbreaker, greeted tentatively.

After all, objectively speaking, not only did this lich not cause any damage to Yashai, but she made a lot of contributions to the incident where Wiserd conceded defeat and jumped back. It can really threaten Chang'an City.

Huo Sen. Tang Sirui is really the biggest variable in Zhong Ming's calculations.

Zhong Ming is not pedantic, he does not have the idea that he must fight and kill non-human creatures. If he can communicate and conquer, the power that a lich can exert on a regular battlefield is extremely impressive.

A little training is an excellent thug.

"Are you here to kill me?" Miss Lich looked at Zhong Ming with numb eyes, "I've said it many times, don't bother me, it's fine if you come and kill me again after I kill all those beasts , I will not resist."

"Before that, if you come to stop me again, you will die!"

After all, an invisible dark energy emerged, and the disturbing curse breath rushed towards Zhong Ming.

Sick and cursed.

Zhong Ming can be considered well-informed now, especially for dark spells, he recognized this spell at a glance.

Miss Lich seems to be quite gentle, this curse can at most make people a little sick.

She should have regarded Zhong Ming as the Yashai warrior who guarded Wized's captives.

As soon as Zhong Ming thought about it, the huge spiritual force field was like an invisible glass ball, easily blocking the power of the curse.

Immediately, the psychic force field pried the surrounding gravitational field, turning it into a distorted gravitational cage, covering Miss Lich.

Miss Lich was keenly aware of the danger, and the sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound spread from her body like a wave. At the same time, her figure flickered, and she instantly moved tens of meters away.

"Soul whistling? Lich's racial talent is very good."

"The gap in the night, a very high-level space spell. Beautiful teleportation, excellent combat awareness."

"Miss Lich, or Miss Mirant, why don't you stop and listen to me before you start?"

Milante looked at Zhong Ming cautiously: "What do you want to say? Give up, I can't give up revenge."

"Well," Zhong Ming straightened his somewhat messy sleeves, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I have no intention of standing up for these war criminals."

"Or, I myself am the biggest victim of these scumbags."

As the largest landlord in the western province, it is true that he was the one who suffered the most losses from the Vizard Expeditionary Force.

"Let me introduce myself, Ming Zhong, you can call me Mr. Ming, I am the master of this territory, the king of Asshai." Zhong Ming said.

"why?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"We trust you so much and support you so much, why didn't you protect everyone and everything!" Mirant's empty eyes flashed a hint of madness, and huge dark energy gathered.

"I...I can't complain," Zhong Ming stood motionless, urging the spiritual force field to block frost, curse, corrosion... and other magical attacks, "Please, what kind of logic are you talking about?"

"Don't look for the person who started the war, look for me who is passive? Oh, it seems that the person who started the war is gone."

"Come on, you're criticizing me from the 'social contract theory', I'm doing pretty well, right?
It is impossible for the lord to protect everyone, not to mention that I am already formulating a pension plan, how many monarchs in the whole continent can be like me throughout the ages? "

"What, you don't know about the 'social contract theory'? Is it really a slip through the net of education? Oh, that's right, I don't seem to have made a compulsory education law for Yasha now... I am really responsible for your logic. !"

"I'll give you a good remedial lesson, the social contract theory is that people live autonomously and equally in a state of nature without any government or law, but also face high risks of strife and uncertainty.

In order to get rid of the disadvantages of the state of nature, individuals voluntarily give up part of their freedom and power, become members of society, and enter into contracts with others to establish an organized society and government.

A contract is based on the principle of common interests and reciprocity, and it distributes power and responsibility among members of society.

By contract, people agree to accept certain rules and laws in exchange for social order, protection, and justice..."

Zhong Ming didn't know what she was listening to, but he still let her vent her anger until she exhausted her physical strength and magic power and collapsed on the grass.

He didn't feel the killing intent from her at all, even if Zhong Ming really couldn't beat her, he should be beaten up.

Moreover, the tragic situation in the western provinces was also the reason why Zhong Ming waited patiently for her to exhaust her anger.

"...Okay, I'm sorry," Zhong Ming walked to her side and said something softly.

"I have already done my best."

Zhong Ming's patience is always a little higher than usual.

Wars are always cruel, no matter how much Zhong Ming calculates, it is impossible to be without sacrifices and injuries.

It's not the Fish Pond Bureau.

Hearing Zhong Ming's apology, Milante seemed to let go of some shackles, two lines of blood and tears flowed from the dead eyes, although the pupils were numb, but there was a little more anger.

"What is His Majesty the King looking for from me, just tell me." Mirant said coldly.

"Hey, it's not a big deal, I just want you to slow down a bit, and after these people are redeemed by Wiserd, you can go to their territory to show your might.

This hard-earned peace, Miss Mirant, you don't want more people like yourself, do you? "

The western provinces suffered heavy losses, Zhong Ming did not have the heart to intercede for the enemy.

It's just that these people are still worth a lot of money. There are quite a few Wiserd nobles among them, and they are indispensable to let Wiserd honestly cede the land.

Mirant was silent for a while, without making a sound, and nodded.

"Okay, then we have reached the greatest consensus." Zhong Ming nodded with satisfaction, "When these people return to the territory of Wised, you can take revenge as you should, and do whatever you want. We will never stop you, and we can even give you You offer some help."

"You'd better be careful."

"Weizede is not weak, and he recently obtained a new divine weapon. You are able to show off your prestige now only because those masters cannot enter the territory of Asshai."

Zhong Ming saw that she had listened, and continued, "May I ask, what are your plans for the future after you take revenge?"

She who had been silent all this time heard this, and said blankly: "In the future... planning to..."

Mirant shook his head.

"No career plan? No good. I have a job here. I wonder if Miss Mirant is interested?"

"Don't be so lifeless, isn't it just a lich, I, Yasha, can still tolerate it."

"This job is like this. Many businessmen and citizens borrowed money from the Yaxia National Bank to do business and buy houses. However, after the war, housing prices plummeted. Many businessmen, investors and citizens went bankrupt and committed suicide.

The bank has a lot of bad debts, and there are some minor problems in loan repayment.

We need an excellent money collector to let these speculators know that everything has a price and there is no escape! "

"My money will never be depended on!"

"Death cannot be escaped!"

"Dead, I will also summon them back from Hades, continue to work and pay back the money!"

"It just so happens that you have a talent for necromancy? Are you considering this job?" (End of this chapter)
