Little Lord's Dark Castle

Chapter 121 Institute Invitation

What Harlow reported was highly valued by the upper echelons of the Emerald Empire. A monster that can invade the human body and control the host's consciousness is a very terrifying thing for today's battlefield.

In particular, these manipulated puppets behave almost like ordinary people. It has been about ten days since they came into contact with the abyssal demon. It is impossible to know whether the other party has infiltrated into the empire.

Moreover, at the beginning, there were some people who fled from the noble territory outside the Beiguan Fortress, and these people can't be fully trusted now.

Soon, the special investigation team temporarily organized by the Emerald Empire came to Watchtower 44, a group of seven people, led by a mage named Ackerman, who looked old but had an extraordinary bearing.

He is a relatively rare summoning mage, and he is also the chief expert on demons in the Emerald Empire. The demon manual that Chu Xin obtained before was compiled by Ackerman.

The scene has remained the same since the larvae of the Abyss Dreamweavers were killed. After simple investigation and inquiry, the investigation team quickly figured out the specific process.

The investigation team didn't delve into some hidden details. After all, they were here to analyze the demonic creature, the Abyss Dreamweaver, not to catch criminals.

In this critical period of war, they would not take too strong measures against such a person of great merit. Besides, Chu Xin also provided a lot of information they wanted to know.

Moreover, the demon larvae at the scene were relatively well preserved and were of great research value. Unfortunately, the mother body was burnt.

After a simple analysis, the investigation team believed that the demon Abyssal Dreamweaver was a little threatening, but it was not as exaggerated as they initially judged.

This is also related to Harlow's report. The information on the battlefield is only the essence, which leads to the concealment of many details of the battlefield.

For example, the most critical point is that the dream manipulation of the abyss dreamer has a distance limit.

The distance limit of about two kilometers, such a short distance, they have no way to avoid the perception of the strong in the barracks, which is why the abyss dreamers only dare to attack near the watchtower.

"Please recall again, whether there are any details missing about the Abyss Dreamweaver." Ackerman said to Chu Xin very politely.

Chu Xin shook his head, he had already said what should be said, and he would not say anything that could not be said to death.

"Okay, thank you very much for your contribution to the empire this time." Ackerman expressed his gratitude again. If the hidden danger of the abyss dream weaver is buried for a long time, it may really cause some unpredictable consequences.

"This is what I should do." Chu Xin responded politely.

Ackerman nodded, and he suddenly asked: "How about it, are you interested in joining our institute?"

Through the inquiry just now, he found that this young man seemed to have a certain degree of research on abyssal demons, especially the species of abyssal dream weavers, and his words were very organized.

Now this temporarily established research institute is short of manpower. If Chu Xin can join, it will be very good news for the research institute.

"Well, let me think about it!" Chu Xin didn't say anything dead, but the rejection in his words was very clear.

Ackerman shook his head with a smile. Sure enough, he was a young man. His mind was on the battlefield, and he probably didn't want to be buried in the research institute to do research.It's just that they probably don't know that feats on the battlefield are not so easy to get.

"Well, if you want to later, you can contact me." Ackerman didn't force it, he just asked casually, and didn't have too much expectation, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not.But before leaving, he gave Chu Xin a vaccination, "That's all for today. If you have any questions about Abyss Dreamweaver later, someone will contact you again."

The special investigation team soon returned with the scorched corpse of the abyss dreamer and the larvae. As for the investigation results, they reported to the above through remote magic images as soon as the investigation was over.

"Actually, it was a very good opportunity just now. The mage is in charge of demon research. It will be much less dangerous to follow him." Looking at the special investigation team going away, Harlow suddenly leaned forward and said.He found that he couldn't understand Chu Xin any more. Faced with this situation, normal people would not even have time to agree.

Places like watchtowers are almost the most dangerous places, except for the reconnaissance teams that are active in the hinterland of the abyssal demons.If it was him, he must have agreed to Ackerman's request without saying a word, and left this place of right and wrong overnight. This guy is good, and he will think about it.

The security factor at the research institute is very high, of course Chu Xin knows it, but he is not very willing to go there, because once he goes there, it means that he basically loses the possibility of free activities, and it is almost difficult to obtain it on the battlefield. It's time for war points.

This time he responded to the Emerald Empire's call, partly because of the forced call, but more because of his enthusiasm for those eight-star and nine-star items on the battlefield exchange list.

Although he knew very well in his heart that the eight-star and nine-star items in the list were all things that were beyond reach, but this did not affect Chu Xin's enthusiasm for accumulating war points. These high-star items could not be exchanged for five-star and six-star items. Also still acceptable.

Another important point is that Chu Xin is not a real demon expert, nor is he suitable for scientific research. The information he gets is all based on the game map. Some clues about the castle.

Chu Xin would not explain these words to Harlow. He shook his head and said, "I just happened to know the information about the Abyss Dreamweaver. If I really went there, I wouldn't be able to stand up. Besides, there are these soldiers following me." , it is impossible for me to abandon them."

Harlow nodded. This is indeed the reason. He could see that Chu Xin had a high prestige in the eyes of his troops, so it was reasonable to make this choice.

As for the coincidence that Chu Xin said, Harlow didn't believe it. Being able to know the information of the Abyss Dreamweaver is not something ordinary people can do.

The corpses of the dead sentry guards were still lying on the ground. They hadn't moved because they were worried about missing any useful clues. Of course, there was also the possibility that they might jump out of a few Abyss Dreamweaver larvae again.

The people who were alive not long ago will be gone if they say nothing. They don't know when such a danger will befall them. The rest of the guards in the watchtower are very depressed.

For a while, the atmosphere in the watchtower was a little dull.

"What are you doing in a daze, find a place to bury them all!" Harlow drank, and the few people came back to their senses, but seeing the corpses of these companions, they didn't dare to do anything for a while.

The lesson from the past is still in sight, and they don't want to be attacked again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ackerman has checked it just now, and there are no larvae in it." Haro comforted a few more words, and these people started to move in a hurry. The smart ones had already run to get the shovel and other tools first, take a step slower Several people had no choice but to pinch their noses to recognize the work of moving the corpse.

When everyone left, Harlow suddenly sighed and said to Chu Xin, "Lord Luo Lin, I want to discuss something with you."

"Tell me." Unknowingly, Chu Xin was somewhat used to the title of Luo Lin.

"It can be seen that you are a capable person, unlike us, alas, watchtower sentry. It's just a good way to say it, and it's called cannon fodder." Harlow sighed and looked into the distance. Looking at the busy young figures, they continued: "It's okay for me to be alone, but they are still very young. If possible, I hope you can bring them to live as much as possible."

"In exchange, I'm willing to abdicate and let you take charge of this watchtower. From today onwards, all the credit will be yours. If anything needs me, I can also bear it." Harlow's tone was sincere, the eyes in his eyes Looking at Chu Xin expectantly, waiting for his answer.

Chu Xin glanced at Harlow unexpectedly. This guy looked confused, but he was very clear in his heart. The other party knew very well that he could only hug his thigh tightly now.

As for what the other party said about leading the young people to live, abdicating the throne and letting the virtuous, Chu Xin believed part of it, but not all.

The power of the watchtower he exchanged is actually nothing. After all, Chu Xin now has more than 100 people, and it is completely no problem to win the right to speak in this watchtower.

However, before the other party speaks, it is considered self-knowledge to bring it up first.

Therefore, regardless of whether the words in Harlow's mouth are true or false, at least Chu Xin is still willing to give them a hand in a critical moment. Of course, this is on the premise of protecting himself.

"Okay, I agree to your request." Without any hesitation, Chu Xin agreed directly.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Harlow's heart calmed down. After expressing his thanks, he went over there and directed everyone to bury the corpse.

There were not so many particularities on the battlefield. Everyone worked together to dig a big pit more than two meters deep, pushed down several corpses and buried them together.

After solving these, the next thing is to continue the interrupted lunch. This delay, the time has come to more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Although there were some twists and turns, the lunch that should be eaten still had to continue. After checking again that there was no threat near the watchtower, Chu Xin felt relieved and started to eat lunch.

Lunch is broth and bread. It looks very simple, but it is the best treatment that this shabby watchtower can offer.

As usual, Chu Xin checked the food and made sure there was no problem before drinking it with confidence.

There were still two people on duty on the watchtower, and they stayed there all the time. Perhaps it was because of this that they were able to escape the invasion of the abyssal dreamweaver larvae. Chu Xin asked Harlow to take five gray goblin crossbowmen under his command to general They replaced it.

In fact, according to the requirements, five people are required to be on duty, but Watch Tower 44 has not been manned enough, so only two people were arranged. It was when Chu Xin came over in the morning that Harlow proposed the rule of five people on duty again.

These five gray goblin crossbowmen were all carrying the scouting glasses made by Tony. Chu Xin originally planned to let them serve as his own scouts, and now they just came in handy.

After lunch, Chu Xin opened the battlefield exchange list. Abyss Dreamweaver contributed 1000 war points to him. He wanted to see if there were any useful exchange items.

It's a pity that the Abyssal Dreamweaver, as a special four-star creature, only contributed 1000 war points, and it took more than 20 of them to barely exchange for a four-star troop card, and the conversion ratio was a bit low.

Compared with the imperial merits that he doesn't know what can be exchanged for, Chu Xin is more willing to believe in war points. At least the price is clearly marked in the exchange list, and there is no deception.

"Reminder, the current combat achievement level is LV1, and this item cannot be exchanged!"

Chu Xin had just spotted an item and was about to exchange it, but a prompt popped up suddenly.

After careful inspection, Chu Xin discovered the difference. Those who do not have the corresponding exchange level authority are directly displayed in gray in the list, and only those items that can be exchanged are displayed as normal white boxes.

With his current level of military exploits, those big cakes that hung out at the beginning were naturally edible, and he didn't know how many abyssal demons he had to kill to reach the highest level of combat exploits.

For the LV1 combat achievement level, the items that can be exchanged are ordinary one-star items, mainly resources, and there are also special items such as unit advancement symbols and one-star advancement symbols.

What Chu Xin is most interested in is a refugee recruitment order. After using it, 10 units of refugees can be randomly recruited, and there is a certain chance that technical talents will appear.

"I don't know if these refugees will be counted in the population." Chu Xin was a little curious, but he is not in the territory now, and recruiting them is just 10 more burdens. We should wait until the end of the war to exchange them.

Somewhat discouraged, he closed the exchange list. Chu Xin checked his combat achievement level. It is currently LV1. Judging from the progress bar, he is still one third away from being promoted to the next level.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xin's merit token suddenly received 5000 points of merit. It should be that the abyss dream weaver incident was confirmed and resolved.

This value is about the same as he expected. After all, he is only a discoverer, not a problem solver.

From discovery to solution, the whole process took only three to four hours, and the Jade Empire's actions could not be described as unpleasant.

After some investigation, nineteen watchtowers were actually infiltrated by Abyssal Dreamweavers, and the most serious one was even completely controlled. Fortunately, all the Abyssal Dreamweavers on the periphery were investigated and cleared out.

As for the internal barracks, no such situation has been found for the time being, and no problems have been found in the group of refugees. It seems that the ability of the Abyss Dreamweaver has a distance limit is indeed true.

This result is not terrible. You know, the watchtower, which is completely controlled, still reports its safety on time every day.

If this problem is not discovered, if it continues, the watchtowers around the Emerald Empire may be completely destroyed before they know it. Without these eyes, they will be very passive in the face of the abyssal demons.
