I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 152 Capitalists call experts

"With such a big step, the new empress is really not afraid of shaking the sky." Gannon said.

"The Pope has sent multiple warnings to the Empire, but Empress Frede ignored them. In addition, intelligence shows that the Empire's army has expanded its recruitment of warlocks compared to before." Anya continued.

"The belief in the abyss is forbidden in the empire. Has the empire recruited warlocks before?" Ganon questioned.

"Yes, not only the empire, but also many regions, including the Federation of Elements, prohibit the belief in the abyss on the surface, but actually recruit warlocks secretly, because the power of warlocks can be used in many ways. But like us Nitri Lan, belief in the abyss is fully allowed, and there are many warlocks gathered in the scattered city-states in the northwest." Anya explained.

"Frede intends to unite dwarves and necromancers to fight against elves and the Pope?" Ganon conceived the continental map planned by Queen Frede in his mind.

"It's possible, but the power of the kingdom of death is actually very small, and it basically has no interest in expanding abroad. We speculate that the necromancers have some special use value for the queen of the empire." Anya gave her own speculation.

"What special value? Let yourself live forever?" Gannon felt that something was wrong halfway through speaking, "No, it should come secretly..."

The most attractive thing about necromancy to kings is that necromancy can make people truly immortal. As long as you transform yourself into an undead creature such as a lich or a vampire, you can achieve immortality. Compared with other extended As for the method of longevity, necromancy is undoubtedly a shortcut.

But this kind of trick obviously can't be done openly. The imperial people will not easily accept an undead monster as their ruler. Even if Fred just becomes a dead spirit, it may cause a serious blow to her reputation.

She wants to use necromancy to make herself immortal, all she needs is to practice necromancy secretly. There is no need to justify the belief in necromancy, and there is no need to openly establish contacts with the kingdom of death. bring adverse effects.

Moreover, Fred is very young now, and she is still far away from considering the issue of her own lifespan. There are obviously more important things on her agenda.

"What do you think?" Ganon simply asked the question to Anya.

"I have thought of a possibility." Anya obviously had a conclusion in her heart, "The Empress of the Empire wants to take advantage of the developed manufacturing industry in the Kingdom of Death."

"What did you just say?" Ganon suspected for a moment that he had misheard, "The kingdom of death...manufacturing?"

"Yes, the manufacturing industry in the kingdom of the dead is very developed. Almost every city-state has many public factories. Necromancers use dead people as cheap labor." Anya explained calmly.

A strange image soon appeared in Gannon's mind, a group of necromancers dressed in gowns and high hats, holding whips, kept whipping a group of skeletons and blue workers in hard hats. Zombies, urge them to work.

Even the dead are pulled out of the grave to work, and no matter how powerful the capitalists are, they must applaud.

Of course, half of this brain-filling fantasy is out of Gannon's self-entertainment. In fact, he still has some doubts about Anya's statement.

"The necromancer's spellcasting should be limited, right? After all, the energy required for the activities of the undead creatures controlled by the necromancer also comes from the necromancer, right?" Ganon asked.

"It's normal if you don't know." Anya sighed, then pulled a geographical map of the continent with some age on the desk, then pointed to an area in the south and said, "See this basin? Here is The seat of the kingdom of the dead."

"Are those city-states concentrated in the basin?" Ganon asked.

"No, most of the city-states are built on the highlands around the basin. In the center of the basin, there is a crack left by the God of Death leading to the underworld. It is called the Gate of the Underworld. There are often leaks inside that are composed of spiritual bodies. The water of the Styx River will spread like mist and gather in the basin to form the Netherworld Lake. There is no grass growing in the center of the basin. Any creature that is not strong enough will quickly weaken and die in the Netherworld Lake, but the undead creatures can persist here. Get energy." Anya pointed at the map and explained.

"Is the factory of necromancers built here?" Ganon finally understood.

The death energy leaked from the gate of the underworld in this basin is a natural energy source that can be used by necromancers.

"Yes, of course most of the residents of the Kingdom of Death are still alive. Because of the influence of the Gate of the Underworld, most of it is a barren land, and the remaining land is also very barren. Biological resources are scarce and agriculture is difficult to develop. They use this kind of Low-cost manufacturing to sustain the economy,” Anya said.

"Fred has been cooperating with the dwarves to develop military steam machinery technology. If she wants to put this military technology into large-scale production..." Ganon thought of the reason for Anya's speculation.

"Seeking the cooperation of the kingdom of death is a feasible way." Anya nodded.

Gannon thought about it for a long time, and said, "Can you send people to the kingdom of death?"

Now that it is known that the empire has such a trend, it is necessary to deploy an intelligence network there.

And as the renovation project of the tower was nearing completion, it was time for him to consider making the Temple of the God of Death work.

"Yes, there are also some dark elves gathering places in the south, and there seem to be dark elves among the death believers gathered in the kingdom of death, but..." Anya paused at this point, and gestured for counting money, "It may be a little more expenses."

"I understand, of course I will approve the funding." Ganon nodded.

"If you send people to the country of death, the expenditure of a single intelligence officer may triple." Anya reminded.

Gannon frowned suddenly.

"This is going across half of the continent to spy on information. Of course the cost is different. Your communication ability should come in handy, right?" Anya asked.

"Yes." Ganon was very grateful for this.

The authority of [Communication] not only allows him to communicate outside the territory of the tower and within the territory, but also allows him to communicate with contract objects outside the territory within the territory.

But if he also leaves the territory, he can only contact the target in the territory, and cannot communicate with the contract object who is also far away from the Infinity Tower-this kind of communication requires at least one party to be within the range of the Infinity Tower.

"That would save the delivery fee of one hundred gold coins per month, and the news would not be delayed for a month or two." Anya shrugged.

"It's really expensive to maintain you." Ganon sighed helplessly, "In addition to inquiring about the movement of the empire, it's best to help me find necromancers that can be recruited, and they need to be above the master level."

"Priests on the eighth floor, are you planning to recruit?" Anya asked casually.

"It's impossible to wait for someone to deliver it to you, right?" Ganon shrugged.
