The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe

Chapter 133: The Diligent Little Miner


Mr. Zhou felt a fleeting sense of emotion.

As he enjoyed the atmosphere, greeting the slaves along the road, he pushed the mining cart, heading to the Royal Palace.

When he arrived at the palace's entrance, Tina was busy registering the slaves with the Merfolk, arranging accommodations, bustling tirelessly.

At this moment, there were still numerous slaves lined up in five rows, waiting to register and be assigned a place to stay.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but pause in astonishment, bringing the cart to a halt.

Tina also noticed Mr. Zhou who was pushing the mining cart; she first glanced at the cart filled with Demon Crystals, then gestured to a nearby Merfolk.

The Merfolk immediately understood and stepped forward to greet Mr. Zhou.

She nodded politely at Mr. Zhou.

Thereafter, she pointed to the right side of the Royal Palace entrance.

There stood an exquisitely crafted white stone high table, with two intricate ship sculptures on top, each holding a bead.

They were precisely the carriers for the Dark Eye and Dark Speech Magic Arrays.

The Dark Eye Magic Array carrier was not constantly activated by Fang Ka, but the Dark Speech Magic Array carrier remained active.

Meaning, as long as someone spoke near the Dark Speech Magic Array carrier, he could hear directly.

He could then choose to activate the Dark Eye Magic Array carrier to observe the situation based on the spoken content.

Mr. Zhou paused slightly but quickly realized that he was being directed to the front of the white stone high table.

He glanced at the Merfolk beside him, then pushed the cart toward the white stone high table.

When Mr. Zhou reached the front of the high table, the Merfolk quickly arrived at the table.

The Merfolk then spoke to the Dark Speech Magic Array carrier, "Mage Fang Ka, your subordinate has arrived; he's here to submit Demon Crystals."

In the midst of meditation on the other side, Fang Ka quickly heard the voice transmitted from the Dark Speech Magic Array carrier in his embrace.

He immediately opened his eyes, then activated the Dark Eye Main Magic Array carrier, promptly observing the scene near the palace door.

He cleared his throat slightly, then spoke through the Dark Speech Magic Array carrier, "Are you handing over this cart of Demon Crystals?"

Upon hearing Fang Ka's familiar voice, Mr. Zhou instinctively looked around but did not see Fang Ka's familiar figure.

He quickly responded, "Yes, Mage Fang Ka."

Fang Ka's voice remained steady, "Just hand the Demon Crystals over to the Merfolk beside you."

Xia Lin had read the memories of an advanced Goblin Knight and of Sonam and was exceedingly well-versed in the situation within the Underground City.

Xia Lin held nothing back from Fang Ka, conveying any circumstance Fang Ka wished to know to him.

Thus, Fang Ka was clearly aware that after slaves ordinarily mined Demon Crystals, they placed them in such mining carts.

Once fully loaded, the Goblin administrators would inspect them, ensure there were no issues, and transport them to the warehouse for packing and storage.

When Sonam required them, he would inform the administrators, who would then deliver the Demon Crystals to Sonam.

Sonam would take possession and proceed with processing.

The directly mined Demon Crystals were of the impure variety; this type of Demon Crystal was not pure, and its Magic Power was liable to interference. Utilizing its Magic Power was nearly impossible.

One had to employ alchemy techniques for refining, resulting in finished Demon Crystals.

In other words, the finished Demon Crystals that are normally used have Magic Power that flows effortlessly, applicable in various aspects.

Additionally, after refining, the shell of the finished Demon Crystal, once its Magic Power is depleted, can serve as a container for Mana Potions or as an auxiliary type of alchemy material.

Fang Ka had instructed Tina, after liberating the mine's slaves, to leave the mining tools onsite.

Essentially, the mining tools currently used by the slaves would be left for the players to use, and with typical player behavior, most would likely use the mining cart to deliver them to the palace.

However, if these mining tools broke down, they would require purchase, serving as a trial version experience.

Resources and facilities on Newbie Island are free to use, primarily for beginners to get quickly established, which isn't the case when arriving in the Underground City.

All facilities on the third underground level are controlled by the slaves; if players have needs, they can either pay to return to Newbie Island or purchase or lease the grounds to build for themselves.

Such that players will work even more arduously.

Mage players at the forefront will strive harder in researching the Magic Domain, completing magic tasks for generous rewards; Fang Ka offers discounts on recovery treatment, which enhances effectiveness.

Front-line Warrior players would, in turn, become more industrious Demon Crystal miners.

Meanwhile, Fang Ka could continue exploring the surrounding environment, offering these front-line players combat tasks.

Fully realizing their exceptional value as front-line players.

...

Inside Sonam's Royal Palace, there are several weighted alchemy equipment pieces.

They are used when Sonam conducts advanced alchemy experiments, specializing in determining material quantities.

This alchemy equipment is quite necessary, as advanced and higher alchemy potions or alchemy products require extraordinarily precise material usage, or issues arise.

The Ancient Castle owned by Fang Ka also has several sets of such weighted alchemy equipment, all prepared by Kain.

Now, Sonam evidently has no use for these, because Fang Ka's highest demand is for intermediate Enhanced Alchemy Potions for players, which has a broad material precision.

More precisely, anything below advanced alchemy doesn't require strict precision.

He had previously informed Tina to move one of those pieces out for weighing Demon Crystals.

The mining carts and the mining tools were all designed by Sonam, with fixed requirements on specifications, materials, weight, structure, etc.

These mining carts originate from the smelting factory on the third underground floor, with stringent quality control; thus, their weight is fixed.

By simply placing the mining cart onto the weighted alchemy equipment and subtracting the cart's weight, the weight of the Demon Crystals can be determined, which is quite convenient.

Of course, if some exceptional players insist on using other containers instead of mining carts, that's fine too.

Make them place the Demon Crystals on the weighted alchemy equipment piece by piece, ensuring they change their mind after one attempt.

At this moment, Mr. Zhou, having heard Fang Ka's instructions, immediately pushed the mining cart in front of the Merfolk beside him, then withdrew to one side, signaling for the Merfolk to receive the Demon Crystals.
