The appearance of the storage pocket that lost its owner did not change significantly, but the method used by Saron's sinners to seal it automatically failed at the moment of his death, so Alando could easily open the storage pocket. To find out what was inside, of course for safety reasons, Allendo did not look through it directly, but poured out all the contents of the storage pocket. As a result, a pile was piled directly on the flat ground next to it.
Seeing that Alando had gained a lot, the people flying in mid-air slowly landed on the ground and stood in front of this hill piled up with a large amount of materials. The number of these things was staggering, but the types were relatively single, and together they were no more than There are more than ten varieties, among which mithril ingots and Warcraft cores have the largest number, accounting for more than nine-tenths. Most of the entire team, which is more than 20 meters tall, is made of these two.
Ryan took a cursory glance. According to his calculations, I am afraid that these mithrils can be used to directly build a ship that is not inferior to the elves' "All Things Grow". And if those magic cores are used to drive this mithril warship If you sail on the sea, you can probably go back and forth from the Moonlight Port to Seawind City for ten years. With such a large quantity and a single type, I don’t want to think about a normal collection of a legendary strongman, so Ryan shook his head and said : "This guy must have robbed someone's warehouse."
"Ahem." The hateful demon general Astarot who was on the side couldn't help coughing a few words. I don't know why, after staying in Cassano Floating City for a while, this Thor demon actually came out of Ryan and the others. He learned some common methods used by humans, such as coughing to resolve embarrassing situations. After everyone turned their attention to him, the Hatred Demon General Astaroth said with a wry smile: "Yes, he did steal these things. "
"Oh." Ryan sighed softly, but did not continue to ask anything. If Astarot didn't want to say it, he didn't want to force him too much, but Astarot didn't hesitate at all. Pointing directly at the mithril ingots, he said: "Look at the patterns on these things, they are exclusive to Kuze. Although this guy has been dead for two or three years, there should be no one who can replace him in the abyss of the earth. "
Astarot continued: "And the most important point is that the types of these things are exactly the type of tribute Kuze and his Earth Core Abyss have to pay this time, but the quantity is relatively small, only about ten times the required amount. One part. According to the custom, these vassals will roughly divide the items into ten parts when paying tribute. It is obvious that this Saron sinner must have grabbed one of them, because the storage pocket also has Kuze's special decoration on it. .”
After listening to Astarot's explanation, Ryan looked at the storage bag thrown aside by Alando. Sure enough, he also saw the same pattern as the surface of these mithril ingots, a bleeding eye. This was probably It was the special emblem of the tiefling lord Kuze that Astarot mentioned. Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but ask: "After Kuze dies, aren't there people in this area to take over?"
"No." Astarot shook his head and said: "After I left your plane that day, I went to the castle where Kuze lived to make some general arrangements. I divided the amount of tribute requested this time into several parts and paid them separately. Give it to several of Kuze's men and let them collect it separately. When I return to collect these tributes, I will divide the territory ruled by Kuze among these guys in proportion to their payment, and then let them fight and decide on their own. Come up with the next lord.”
"Don't you just designate a lord?" Ryan asked,
"No, there is no need for that." Astarot explained carefully: "The designated candidate may not be the most suitable. We still believe that the strong are respected. Only by stepping on the corpses of other competitors is the strongest and most suitable person. candidates, so the larger the territory they are allocated, the more advantage they will have in future battles. With such a temptation, I believe they can definitely complete their share in just a few years, and add more number in order to gain the upper hand.”
"Is there such a large amount of tribute every time?" Freya couldn't help but interjected. She heard Astarot say that the amount in front of her was only one-tenth of the amount, and with so many, it would soon catch up with the elves. The tribe has been collecting it for thousands of years. If the Thor demon collects such a large amount of tribute from here every time, it is hard for Freya to imagine that no one will survive in this abyss of the earth after three or five times.
"Of course not." Astarot shook his head and said: "This time the tribute was increased several times because the Thousand Years War was about to break out to prepare a reserve of strategic materials. It is usually paid once every twenty years or so. The tribute is only two or three times of these. If he cannot complete it as the lord here for such a long time, then he is a waste."
"However, such a large amount is probably equivalent to a medium-sized mithril mine. One will be dug out in twenty years. This speed is too scary." The dwarf king Reynolds couldn't help but speak.
"Haha, if I'm not wrong, I'm afraid most of them are obtained from the vassals of the lower level. If there are still less than 100,000 people, they will probably start a war with other countries. This should be the invasion of Black Rock City by Ku Ze and others. Reason." Ryan didn't wait for Astarot to say anything more, and took the initiative to ease the situation for him: "Okay, okay, this is not our hometown, and we are not just gods. Take care of your family and friends. That’s it, don’t worry about the residents here.”
After saying this, Ryan said to Astarot with a heavy face: "Since you believe that they are the tribute this time, then I am afraid that there has been some huge change in Kuze's castle. I don't know what you are talking about. Will anything appear in the magic circle that is transported to another world..."
"It's hard to say." Astarot replied in an uncertain tone: "I believe you also know that such an important tribute will definitely be placed in the safest place waiting for His Highness the Prince to send someone to pick it up or have it delivered by someone specially. But now it is Appearing in the hands of a wandering Saron sinner, it is possible that there is a problem with Kuze's castle, but it may not be that the strong man who sent someone to escort was killed by this Saron sinner and snatched away. These were originally requested. The tribute was divided into ten parts and escorted separately based on this consideration."
"Since that's the case, then you put all these things away, and then we quickly go to Kuze's castle. I hope everything is fine there." Ryan nodded and said. Seeing Ryan say this, the others naturally had no objections. Starot took out a storage bag from his arms and began to collect the mountain of materials. Victor and others used this time to take a short rest. During this period, Helena was interested in starting from Some materials worth using were found on the corpses of thousands of monsters, but in the end she had no choice but to find that almost all of them had turned into pieces of flesh and blood, with no other use than being used as fertilizer.
Soon, the Demon General of Hatred Astaroth, Ryan and others who had completed everything were on the road again. Victor continued to release a "group flight technique", which saved everyone the hardship of traveling and was still on everyone's side. The defensive barrier was added to prevent them from being eroded by the cold wind due to flying at high speed in the air. With such a good means of traveling, it only took Ryan and the others more than half a month to penetrate into the core area of Lord Kuze. At the time, Tiv The forest lord Kuze and his subordinates rushed to the teleportation circle to prepare for the invasion of the Eslar continent. They spent at least more than two months on the road.

Looking at the castle with thick smoke rising in the distance, Ryan had an ominous premonition in his heart. The sky in the abyss of the earth was always dark, but now it became brighter because of the blazing fire in the castle in the distance. Although this light will flicker due to the jumping of firelight, there is no need to see this burning castle with one's own eyes. Ryan and the others had a premonition a few days ago, because when they stepped into the abyss of the earth's core, After the core area, what caught Ryan's eyes was a large number of corpses and ruins. Usually, only one thing would cause such an end to a prosperous area, and that is, war.
"Very good, very good." The Demon General of Hatred, Astaroth, almost said this through gritted teeth. It would be fine if he lost face in front of Ryan and the others. Anyway, Kuze fell into their hands. So what if we added some extras, but the territory of Kuze, or the former tiefling lord Kuze, was invaded, and the other party took away almost all the population and turned the most prosperous area here into ruins. This is what Astarot hates the most.
Since no one was alive along the way, Astarot didn't know who invaded and destroyed these prosperous areas in the Earth's Core Abyss. By doing so, the opponent directly destroyed the Thor demon. The dominant position of a clan in the Earth's Core Abyss. Without a stable population and a fixed territory, the influence of the Thor Demon in the Netherworld will gradually weaken, and he will eventually be driven out of this plane. This result is definitely not in line with Thor. of the devil's benefit,
"Boyardinas, it must be Boyadinas." The Demon General of Hatred looked at the burning Kuze Castle and gritted his teeth and said: "To destroy this place so cleanly would require at least hundreds of thousands of troops, and I believe that in this plane, neither the dark elves nor the vassals of the Rakshasa demon can have such courage. Only Boyadinas has a special status and is a strong player in the field. If the order to fight is given, she will If you personally take charge, you will not only be able to deter other guys who try to take advantage of the situation, but also make the entire war process go smoothly."
