Chapter 399: Visitors
Just like this, a month passed. Li Ran has been paying close attention to information about the catacomb during this period. However, the scouts have not received any information that the other party wants to attack. It seems that Li Ran, who occupied a cemetery in the underground world, was completely forgotten by the other party.●⌒
Although they were a little uneasy, the two mining sites had already brought significant benefits to the territory. With the continuous supply of stone and fine iron ore, although the territory was fully constructed, these two main materials were no longer needed to be purchased outside. There was still a surplus. After the dwarves got a job, they were no longer as casual as they were usually, and they were full of energy, but the demand for alcohol was getting higher and higher.
The captives seized last time have been digested by Wu Tongtong and Dorik during this period. After selling them all, only 100 high-level vampires and 30 ghost riders were left. In addition to going to Edoron City to buy back the Modo berserkers I saw last time, they also bought 100 intermediate mages and 50 Yuansuo Lantern Gods from Yiye Qiuyu. At this time, the number of intermediate mages in the territory reached 280. The elemental lamp gods had more than 100.
During this period, Zhou Xun and others also kept honing their troops with the support of Li Ran. Small biotas outside the territory and undead creatures outside the caucus naturally became their practice goals.
On that day, Li Ran, who was chatting with the tower master Kunassoyed, suddenly saw the scout leader Histan coming in and signaling that he needed to report anything.
Li Ran looked at him and said with a smile: "Master Kunassoyed is my good teacher. No matter what it is, you don't need to avoid the master in the future. Just say it."
The scout leader, Hestan, was slightly stunned. Then he saluted Kunassoyed to express his gratitude, and then said to Li Ran: "Report to Lord Lord Ian Held, Earl of Ian Held, requested to meet you."
Li Ran asked in confusion: "Earl Ian Hald?"
Hestan nodded and replied, "It is the vampire count you released last time. He came to your territory in the Underworld this morning. Please meet you."
After saying oh, Li Ran said, "Where is he now?"
"I brought him, right in the parliamentary hall, I asked the leader of the Leopard tribe, Bolken and the leader of Saguire, to accompany him, come and ask what you mean," Hestein replied immediately.
Li Ran nodded and smiled at Master Kunasoyed beside him, "Master, why don't you accompany me to see this Earl of Ian Held? See what is his purpose in research?"
Tower master Kunasoyed looked at Li Ran and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I haven't seen a top vampire for many years."
So the two were about to rush to the conference hall. Li Ran suddenly thought about it and said to the scout leader Hestan, "You go find a Prophet Tanilov and let him come with several captains."
It was just a thirteenth-level vampire, with the leader of the Leopard Human Clan and the leader of the Gao Yan Niutou, not afraid that he would suddenly hurt people. Why did the lord want so many top-level troops to come? Histan couldn't help but be puzzled.
Seeing the scout leader Histan leaving with a puzzled look, the tower master Kunasoyd looked at Li Ran and asked with a smile: "Did the Lord guess what this count is going to do?"
Regarding this wise soul master, Li Ran smiled and said, "I have captured other people's territory before. If I meet on the battlefield, it will be an enemy. But the other party took the initiative to look for me, and what he did was nothing more than discussing something. Then it was a negotiation, and it was inevitable that he would have to negotiate. It would be natural to add more chips."
It seemed that Li Ran had already understood what Li Ran meant. At this time, Kunasoyed smiled and praised: "The Lord is indeed a wise man. It seems that we should have come here long ago. We can do our best if we can do our best, and we will blame us for being old and losing the courage we were young."
Li Ran quickly shook his head and said, "You can't say that. It is my greatest honor to have gained your trust before. What's more, if it weren't for your military support, how could I have developed as I am now?"
The two came to the conference hall while chatting and laughing. It happened that Hestan, Captain Zereramo Orcs and the Prophets also rushed over. After seeing Li Ran saluting, Li Ran briefly explained the purpose of this time to them, and the group entered the conference hall.
Maybe he heard the sound outside, the vampire count could not help but stand up after seeing that the lord who had come in was indeed the one I had seen before.
After saluting each other, Li Ran sat down and asked with a smile: "Long time no see, I wonder what is the matter with the Count?"
Ian Held smiled and said, "No rush for the matter. Last time I thanked you for your mercy, so that I can still talk to you here. I want to express my sincere thanks first."
Li Ran waved his hand and said, "With your skills, if I really want to leave, how can I stop it? So why do you say it with pride? Besides, I have to thank you for your magnanimity and wisdom, which has stopped the next battle in time, so that our people can still bathe in the arms of the gods."
The vampire count cursed in his heart, "If I hadn't given you so much money, I would have known if you would have killed me." But it was unnecessary to say this at this time, and I couldn't help but smile and said a few polite words.
At this time, he was surprised to notice that not only Mingwei accompanied him, but actually monitoring him were two top-level troops, and dozens of people behind the lord were actually top-level troops, and each of them was not inferior to him. Especially when he saw the leader of the Frost Elephant Mastiff following a human girl, his face changed slightly. What territory is this tm? Even a wild beast of tm is not weak. He turned aside, and he couldn't help but feel much more polite in his words.
Seeing Wu Tongtong coming to find him, Li Ran smiled and said that he had something to do. The latter had to pout helplessly and leave reluctantly.
The long life gave the vampire clan enough time to waste, which naturally included in their daily conversations, when several warriors in the territory were anxious to kill. The vampire count finally revealed his purpose, and at the same time gave Li Ran a clearer understanding of this underground world.
It turns out that there are two real lords in this known domain in the underground world, one of which is naturally the Grand Duke Renes he mentioned earlier, and the other is a dark elf queen.
The two of them ruled this known underground world together, and no one could do anything to each other, so they usually stayed in their main city and did not dare to leave casually. Even the struggles under their subordinates were not too excessive, they would not ask about it.
Li Ran's invasion was like throwing a stone into the calm lake, disrupting the balance. So Grand Duke Renes sent him to take a look, hoping to slowly erode the power of the Dark Elf Queen through cooperation with the territory. Seeing that Li Ran actually had so many top-level troops, the vampire count was naturally more confident.
Hearing this, Li Ran understood why he had not been attacked in the territory of the Underground World for a while. It turned out that the two great lords of the Underground World restricted each other, and no one dared to make too much move. Even the two territories closest to him were afraid that one of his own would take action and let the other get a bargain.
Seeing Li Ran thinking, the vampire count hurriedly said some words of encouragement, because he had not said one reason for coming here this time. It was difficult for them to restrict a large dungeon village with two cemeteries, but he was actually captured by someone. After returning this time, he was almost killed by the angry Grand Duke Renes. This time he was actually a meritorious service. If he still failed, he was afraid that his life would be lost.
Li Ran was already ready to agree with the attitude of Bo Yibo, but seeing the vampire count so anxious, he thought about it but then refused. He said tactfully that he had too few troops and could not participate in such a battle. Moreover, he did not have enough understanding of the power of the dungeon, and was afraid that he would not be able to help.
At this time, the vampire Earl was anxious. This was a major event related to his life. He quickly encouraged Li Ran, and finally said that as long as Li Ran agreed to cooperate, he was willing to provide some supplies.
During a tactful bargaining, the Vampire Earl finally gave Li Ran 100,000 gold coins and a large number of finished crystals, asking him to buy military supplies. At the same time, he also gave Li Ran 300 intermediate ghost banshees.
As soon as Li Ran saw that he was good, he made a contract with him and promised to prepare as soon as possible after taking the supplies.
After seeing the vampire count leave, Li Ran immediately convened a meeting and told everyone about the matter.
Because of the previous lessons, although everyone was a little uneasy at this time, the meeting hall still ensured the order he deserved. Except for a few elders who tactfully expressed their worries, the others did not express much. During this period of time, many people have already developed enough confidence and loyalty to him.
