i have a dead world

Chapter 25 You Are Not Poor
Hearing Lord Reaper's icy voice, Baron Edra couldn't help but tremble, and he thought of Lord Gu Aotian staring at him with a bloody ax today.

This is the god of death!Gu Aotian is Lord Reaper's warrior!
How dare you refuse to pay back the money when you make a deal with the god of death?

This is an act of death.

Baron Edra also knew that what he did was wrong, but he was also really poor.

The Edra family has been poor for several generations. It was once known as the poorest noble family in the Gobi, and was cast aside by all other noble families.

"Lord Reaper, please listen to my explanation, I don't want to default on my debts."

"Then give me the sacrifice owed."

"But I don't have a sacrifice that you are satisfied with."

Baron Edra was about to cry. He was sitting on the bed in his bedroom at this moment. The door was originally closed, but now it has been opened.

The gate was split open by Gu Aotian with an axe, and it stood in front of the gate, holding the axe, looking at itself calmly with eyes beating with soul fire.

Edra has no doubts, if his talk with Lord Reaper collapses now, Gu Aotian will definitely chop himself with this axe.

"Then what do you have?" An Baichen sighed helplessly, he felt that he was a bit like a landlord oppressing the poor.

"Master Reaper, I only have population and territory."

"I don't need your population and territory."

"That"

Baron Edra took a deep breath and said sadly, "Other than that, I have nothing else. Lord Death, why don't you take my soul away and use it as a sacrifice!"

"You are a dead pig and you are not afraid of boiling water." An Baichen gritted his teeth, what does he want the client's soul for?
How much undead breath can one soul sacrifice?

An Baichen didn't bother to do the killing of chickens and eggs.

"Lord Death, I really have no choice. I don't want to lie to you. I'm willing to accept whatever punishment you want." Baron Edra's tone was very sincere, but An Baichen didn't feel comfortable listening to it.

As a businessman, the last thing I like is to be owed money.

In fact, if Baron Edra really didn't pay the sacrifice, An Baichen didn't care. His original purpose was to complete the advanced task to obtain the altar of the undead, not to summon Gu Aotian's sacrifice.

But this precedent cannot exist!

If the first customer owes money and does not pay back, how will An Baichen do business in the future?
"I'm pissed right now."

"I can understand, Lord Reaper, if my death and blood can appease your anger, I am willing to sacrifice everything I have."

Baron Edra's voice was mournful, and he was ready to embrace death.

It's just a pity that he hasn't married a beautiful woman to give birth to offspring for the Edra family.

This was his saddest and most regrettable thing. No beautiful woman would look at a poor lord in the Gobi.

"I appreciate your honesty, so I'm giving you one more chance, one last chance."

An Baichen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If you fail to grasp the opportunity this time, I will take your soul away."

"Lord Reaper, you are definitely the most generous god I have ever seen!" Baron Edra was overjoyed, and he did not hesitate to praise him.

No one is willing to die, as long as there is still a chance, Baron Edra is willing to exchange everything for his own life.

"Do you remember the black knight?"

"Of course, Lord Death, this is the enemy of the Edra family, and I will remember him for the rest of my life."

"Why do you think a real knight would invade Edra's territory?"

"He covets the wealth of Edra's territory."

An Baichen was stunned when he heard this, and roared angrily: "Baron Edera, please recognize the current situation! Do you think your territory has any wealth to speak of!"

How can we talk about wealth when we are so poor that even wild dogs don’t come here?
Baron Edra was stunned for a moment, rather shyly: "Master Reaper taught me that there is indeed no wealth in Edra's territory."

"A poor territory, some poor people, what should knights pay attention to? Even pretending to be bandits to invade?"

"Pretending to be a gangster?"

"Do you think that a real knight will surrender his identity and become a bandit? As long as he is willing, countless noble families are willing to serve him and provide him with what he needs for cultivation. Why should he become a bandit?"

This is the result of An Baichen's analysis after absorbing the knowledge from the Edra family's study.

A proud knight has absolutely no need to be a wandering bandit.

"What you said makes sense." Baron Edra nodded, agreeing very much.

Baron Edra then raised another possibility.

"Lord Shinigami, maybe this knight is also poor?"

The Edra family understands the feeling of poverty very well. Poverty can make people crazy, and it is also very likely to corrupt a proud knight: "The first time this knight invaded the territory of Edra, he wanted to extort 100 gold coins .”

"Do you still remember that when Gu Aotian joined the battle, he used ten gold coins to stimulate the gangsters to kill Gu Aotian."

"For a person who can randomly take out ten gold coins as a reward, can a hundred gold coins make him give up his pride and faith?"

"This knight is not poor, at least he is richer than the Edra family."

An Baichen said: "I don't think the identity of this knight is simple. There are people supporting and commanding him behind him. A force with knights is definitely stronger than the territory of Edra."

"In other words, he actually doesn't care whether there are these 100 gold coins in the territory of Edra. He came to the territory of Edek for other purposes."

"Other purposes?"

Baron Edra was puzzled, he really couldn't figure out what was so attractive about his territory.

"It has been recorded in the history of the continent in your study that the Esk Continent is a multi-power and multi-country coexistence. High-quality population, high-yield food, vast territory, powerful force, massive wealth, inexhaustible resources are what every nobleman and king desires."

An Baichen analyzed bit by bit: "In your territory, there is no wealth, no force, no high-quality population and high-yield food."

"Then there is only one possibility for this knight's purpose. There are exciting resources in your territory!"

An Baichen's tone was very firm, after eliminating all untenable factors, the rest is the answer.

"Resources?" Baron Edra shook his head after thinking about it, "Absolutely impossible."

"Resources include a wide range of things. Food and gold coins can be counted as a territory's resources. Mineral veins, treasures, or population sources can all be regarded as a type of resource."

An Baichen said calmly, "Just because you didn't find out, it doesn't mean that Edra's territory doesn't exist."

"Mineral veins?"

The territory of Edra was taken aback when he heard this, thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Master Reaper, half a month before the black-armored knights invaded the territory of Edra, a farmer found a mountain on the south side of the territory. Kind of black stone."

"Master Reaper, is this a resource?"

"Black stone."

An Baichen smiled, and said meaningfully: "Whether it is a mineral resource or not, you need to verify it yourself, and I only need sacrifices."

"Master Reaper means"

"If what the knight in black armor desires is this black stone, then it is my sacrifice."

An Baichen's tone was very firm: "Do you understand?"

"You are actually not poor." An Baichen said meaningfully, if he could attract the attention of another force, then the territory of Edra is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

According to the information that An Baichen has learned, the magical materials containing energy in the Esk Continent are very rare, but at least they really exist.

The more fantasy material contains energy, the more undead aura it can be sacrificed and refined.

An Baichen felt that what the black-armored knight wanted must be something special, even if it wasn't a rare fantasy item, at least it was worth more than gold coins.

No matter what it is, An Baichen must hold it in his hand.

An Baichen has always adhered to a principle: "Any summoner, no matter how poor he is, must give sacrifices!"
