Little Lord's Dark Castle

Chapter 162 Merit Exchange
After clearing the last trial of the ancient tomb of the barbarians, after harvesting this wave of rewards, for Chu Xin, the exploration of this ancient tomb can also come to an end.

The sky gradually darkened, and many pursuing troops stopped. Night is not beneficial to human beings.

On the contrary, abyssal demons have certain night vision capabilities. They are used to moving in the dark, but humans are much weaker in this regard. Only those who have reached a certain level of power can ignore this kind of environment. influences.

In the gentle evening wind, there is the breath of blood and fire, and there is also a faint smell of scorching lava that belongs to the abyss.

Chu Xin checked the time, and before he knew it, it was around eight o'clock at night.

The ancient tomb of the barbarians was located in a remote location, and it was quite a distance from the Beiguan Fortress. It was precisely because of this that it was able to survive the search of the Emerald Empire.

Otherwise, this kind of place would have disappeared under the iron heel of the Emerald Empire long ago.

The calculation of meritorious deeds will end tomorrow. If you don't hurry back, Chu Xin may really miss this opportunity.

Quickly gathering people, Chu Xin led the team on the road again, Tie Lin led the way, and Cao Tuan checked and filled in the gaps. The speed of the team was not too slow. According to the progress, they should be able to reach the Beiguan Fortress at noon tomorrow.

It's also fortunate that Chu Xin's team is mainly composed of soldiers, and the orders are prohibited, and the quality is extremely high. If it is replaced by a group of farmers, I am afraid that they may not be able to catch up the day after tomorrow.

actually.Marching on the ground would be faster, but Chu Xin didn't want to take the risk, and now there was only one last shiver before returning to the Dark Land, and he didn't want to cause complications.

Although the abyssal demons were dispersed, there were still quite a few elites left, especially the one that got mixed up with the barbarians.

Marching on the ground, the luck is a little bit bad, and if you encounter it, you will be wiped out in a wave.

While Chu Xin was on his way, on the other side, the Beiguan Fortress, the Emerald Queen quietly returned under the moonlight. The Emerald Dragon threw down a huge head, and quickly jumped up and disappeared into the dark night.

In the vagueness, the hideous wound on the emerald dragon seemed to disappear in a flash.

That night, the Emerald Empire announced an emergency order, and two days later, the transmission channel with the Dark Land was completely closed.

As soon as the order came out, everyone was shocked, especially those pioneer lords.

At this moment, all the pioneer lords of the dark land are facing a difficult decisive battle.

Give up your foundation and stay in the Emerald Empire, or go to the Dark Land and completely disconnect from the Emerald Empire.

There are also faint rumors that the Emerald Empire did not completely close the transmission channel of the Dark Land, but when it will be opened again, it will have to wait until a new transmission technology is developed.

But no matter what happens in the future, right now, the choice must be made immediately.

If you choose to give up, then you must hurry up, transfer materials, or choose a qualified heir.

If you choose to go to the dark place, you must take advantage of the last chance to purchase materials and various resources. Without the transmission channel, the subsequent development of the territory will become difficult.

Fortunately, Chu Xin didn't have so many entanglements, his root was in the black castle, and there was no need to choose at all.

Judging from the reaction of the Emerald Empire this time, it should have sensed something and chose to temporarily close the Emerald Continent.

Otherwise, with the character of the Emerald Empress, I'm afraid she would have entered the abyss long ago.

Under the night, Chu Xin's team marched at a steady and fast speed. Although it was a night march, the team's mental state was quite good. They were resting most of the time in the ancient tomb of the barbarians, and they still had plenty of energy.

This walk took almost a whole day, and it was not until the next afternoon that Chu Xin arrived outside Beiguan Fortress.

After a long distance, the team climbed up from the ground. After picking up the subordinates from the No. 44 watchtower, the team was enriched a lot.

I don't know if it's because of staying underground for too long, but everyone has a faint smell of mud on their bodies.

Even though I have seen it several times, standing in front of Beiguan Fortress again, I still feel an unspeakable sense of shock.

To Chu Xin's surprise, the giant tower in the center of the fortress came alive.

That's right, it just came alive, it felt weird, the giant tower opened a huge vertical eye, like a living thing.

Without looking any further, Chu Xin led the team to the city next to Beiguan Fortress. After confirming their identity, they let them go.

Even if the war is won, the Beiguan Fortress still refuses the entry of all other teams.

Behind the Beiguan Fortress, there are still the familiar tents, but the number is much smaller. It is no longer as densely packed as it was at the beginning, and the road can't be found.

This time, the reception staff quickly brought him in.

In the tent, the one who was responsible for receiving the lord was still the female officer named Tanya. She hadn't seen her for a long time, and her complexion was much darker.

After the war, her work seemed much easier. When Chu Xin came in, she was spinning her pen in a daze.

"Token of Merit." Tanya noticed Chu Xin who entered the door, her eyes regained focus, and she said.

Her tone was flat. Obviously, the female officer didn't have much impression of the cannon fodder lord who she randomly assigned to the watchtower.

Chu Xin handed over the merit token, Tanya took it, and the magic power flowed in her hand, and a string of not-too-long numbers appeared on the merit token.

Merit, 51023 points!
Tanya, who hadn't looked at Chu Xin all this time, finally raised her head in surprise, and only then did she notice that this was a young and somewhat excessive lord.

More than 50,000 meritorious service, among many lords, although not the most, it is still quite a lot.

"Lord lord, after approval, your meritorious service is 51023 points. Here is the crystal ball to view the exchanged items. You can choose it, just tell me." Tanya took out a fist-sized magic from under the table The crystal ball was handed to Chu Xin.

Unknowingly, her tone has changed.

"En." Chu Xin took the magic crystal ball, input the magic power, and a magic image appeared in front of him.

Snake-tooth dagger (five-star), a magical weapon that contains the fire of the abyss, exchange merit: 800; remaining quantity: 999.

The first exchange item displayed on the magic crystal ball was Chu Xin's magical weapon. He glanced at it and quickly swiped it away.

Back then, killing the five-star abyssal snake demon only gave a total of 2000 points of merit. One of its weapons cost 800, and it was a weapon with quite a lot of side effects, really black.

With the title of baron, you will obtain a distinguished noble status and enjoy the corresponding rights and interests, exchange for meritorious service: 20000.

The lowest title, the asking price is about a seven-star abyssal demon, and there should not be too many people who can obtain it.

Chu Xin continued to look down. In the current situation, the development of the Emerald Empire definitely does not need to be considered. Therefore, such things as titles and territories can be completely ignored.

Among the remaining items, most of them are weapons, equipment and materials, and there are also some special props, but they have not been brought out when it comes to the core space and magic pattern construction technology of the Emerald Empire.

"Huh? The right to choose treasures from the treasury!" Chu Xin suddenly noticed a rather special reward, which was a permission to enter the treasury to select treasures.

"After redeeming this reward, you can enter the treasury of the empire to choose a reward. You can choose any treasure to bring out, and you can only redeem it once." Tanya, who had been paying attention to Chu Xin, noticed that Chu Xin was stuck on this reward. He opened his mouth and explained.

"Choose this one!" Chu Xin immediately made a decision. Although there are many types of exchangeable items officially provided by Jadeite, he couldn't find what he wanted for the time being.

Chu Xin estimated that this was related to his arrival at Beiguan Fortress too late. Most of the rewards provided by the Emerald Empire were limited in quantity, and those that were slightly better had already been exchanged for them.

What is left for him now is either the leftovers that he did not want to pick, or some extremely expensive rewards that the lords could not afford to exchange.

In comparison, it is better to go to the national treasury to pick and choose, at least you can try your luck.

The exchange price is [-] meritorious deeds, which is a bit painful, but it is worth it, probably to the extent of killing a seven-star level abyssal demon on the battlefield.

This time, the Emerald Empire is very sincere, opening up the treasury to people to choose. Although this opening must be selective, but with luck, you will definitely be able to find some treasures.

Chu Xin believes that he will be able to choose the items that suit him.

"Okay, I've helped you redeem the treasury treasure option, and there are 21023 points of merit left. What do you need to exchange?"

"Five parts of the six-armed snake demon's blood essence, one part of the eight-armed snake's blood essence, and the rest will be replaced with crop seeds." Chu Xin looked at the list and quickly made a choice.

Among these items, the eight-armed snake devil's blood essence was the most valuable, and it cost Chu Xin [-] meritorious service, but it was worth it, after all, it came from a nine-star level powerhouse.

The blood essence of the abyss demon is full of chaos and tyranny, and it is difficult for non-abyssal creatures to absorb it. Therefore, in the judgment of the Emerald Empire, the value of these items is not high, and the exchange merits given are correspondingly lower than other materials. .

Chu Xin exchanged the blood essence of the snake demon for the egg of the snake demon he obtained at the beginning, and he wanted to try to cultivate it.

Crop seeds include corn, sweet potatoes and other types, and bringing them back can be regarded as enriching the products in the territory.

"Okay, please wait a moment, and the related items will be ready for you soon. May I ask whether the right to choose the treasury treasure is used now, or temporarily reserved?" Tanya said while quickly recording the exchange items Chu Xin chose.

Chu Xin smiled and said, "Of course I use it now!"

He only has one day left to stay in the Emerald Empire, so of course it should be sooner rather than later.

"Okay, immediately arrange a space mage to guide you to the treasury." Tanya nodded.

In the camp, there are special space mages waiting, and everyone who goes to the treasury will be led into it by them.

The treasury of the Emerald Empire is hidden in the void, and it is absolutely impossible to enter through normal channels. Only these space mages who know the coordinates can open the space passage to the treasury.

Soon, a space mage opened the portal to the treasury for Chu Xin.

"My lord, please!" The space mage gestured to Chu Xin to invite him in.

In the portal, the halo was spinning, and it was impossible to see where the other side was, but the Emerald Empire would not joke about this kind of thing, and Chu Xin had nothing to worry about.

"Okay, thank you!" Chu Xin nodded, thanked the space mage who guided the portal, and then stepped into the portal.

To be honest, he is still full of awe and interest in the mysterious profession of space mage. If possible, he still hopes to have so few in his territory.

The scene in front of him changed, and Chu Xin came back to his senses, and found himself in front of a huge gate more than ten meters high.

There were quite a few people standing near the giant gate. Seeing Chu Xin approaching, the crowd was noisy.

"Finally someone is here!"

"New here, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you!"

"Grandpa, open the door!"

Those who were the first to come over as Chu Xin urged, with expressions and expressions full of impatience.

The gate of the treasury was blocked by magic patterns, and it was not easy to open it once. Today, the lords and adventurers who came to the treasury to exchange rewards came one after another.

Repeatedly opening and closing the door is a waste of time and energy, so the gatekeeper here makes the next rule.

The treasury will only be opened once if there are at least ten people, otherwise you will have to wait.

This wonderful rule inexplicably gave Chu Xin another illusion, as if he heard a familiar shout in his ears: "The national treasury has 10 people, and there is still one person short, come quickly!"

"After everyone goes in, there is half an hour to choose, and each person can only choose one item."

"After selecting the item reward, use the lord's merit token or the adventurer's identity certificate to paste on the protective barrier of the corresponding item, and the barrier will disappear automatically, and the item can be obtained."

"Remember, both tokens and vouchers can only be used once. Once the item protection barrier is opened, it will be automatically regarded as choosing this reward."

"In addition, there are strict records for all personnel entering and exiting, and private spaces will also be inspected. Anyone who steals items from the treasury without authorization will be disqualified and regarded as a felony."

"As soon as the three 10 minutes arrive, no matter whether you choose it or not, it will be automatically sent out."

Among the crowd, an unremarkable old man announced the entry rules.

This old man is the gatekeeper of the national treasury. He is hunched over, with no momentum on his body. He walks tremblingly, as if he would fall down when the wind blows.

Chu Xin didn't dare to be careless at all. The information searched on the map showed that the old man in front of him, who looked like he might die at any time, was a series of mysterious question marks.

But anything that involves question marks is not a simple character, Chu Xin dare not underestimate the old man in front of him.

"rumble"!
With a dull sound, the gate of the treasury opened automatically.

The people waiting outside rushed in impatiently, and Chu Xin was the last one.

"Grandpa, there is something I want to ask you?" Chu Xin did not enter the treasury in a hurry, but stopped in front of the old gatekeeper.

The old man drooped his eyes, as if he didn't intend to pay attention to Chu Xin. Suddenly, he sniffed and smelled a vague fragrance.

Eh?
You boy, there is something!
