The decorations here are mostly made of bones of various giant beasts, which are more suitable for the title of the Duke of Bones, but in this way, it looks ghostly. Further up, there are all kinds of training and laboratories, and there is even a small workshop, which should be the place where the Duke of Bone processes bone equipment by himself.
The Duke's bedroom is on the top floor of the castle, occupying the entire floor, with a large bed made of animal bones in the center, covered with thick animal skins. This bedroom is really a special werewolf, primitive and wild.
However, what made Qianye speechless the most was that the entire bedroom was not sealed, the side facing the Emerald Sea was supported by more than ten stone pillars, and there were no windows at all. The cold wind from the Emerald Sea can blow in unscrupulously, adding a bit of coldness to every corner.
Werewolves are not cold-blooded animals, and they also like fire and warmth. The Duke of Bone's preference is really hard for Qianye to understand. The bedroom is decorated with a large number of bone carvings, animal heads, and some strange stones, which is more like an altar than a bedroom.
Qianye turned around, heard the high priest say something, and couldn't help saying: "Let me live here?"
The high priest replied respectfully: "Only you are qualified to live in this sacred place."
Fortunately, it's not too cold now, otherwise Qianye would really wonder if these werewolves wanted to freeze themselves to death here. The Emerald Sea has four distinct seasons, and the winter is quite cold. When the wet and cold wind blows, and it is at a high place, this place can really freeze people to death.
Qianye shrugged, walked to the big white bone bed, patted the head of the bed casually, lifted up a piece of animal skin to look at it, and said, "Tear down this bed for me first, and throw it out."
Before he finished speaking, Qianye gasped and looked carefully at the animal skin in his hand. This piece of animal skin has black stripes on a white background, and it cannot be seen that it is produced by a wild animal. It feels unremarkable at first hand. This thing is equivalent to a blanket, Qianye naturally does not intend to keep it. But just now he pulled it casually, but it didn't move, so he unconsciously added some force to his hand, but it still didn't move!
With Qianye's strength, not to mention the animal skin, even the steel plate was torn, and this black and white patterned animal skin was unscathed, which is extraordinary.
After the messy animal skins on the bed were removed, one corner could be seen stuck in the bone seam of the bed frame. The animal hide is solid for one thing, and the animal bones that make up the bed frame are also extraordinary.
Qianye bent his finger, flicked his hand on the head of the bone bed, the light of the original force flashed away at the fingertips, and there was a sound of gold and iron colliding after the finger fell. Looking carefully, there was a small white spot on the bed frame, and the traces were wiped off a lot.
Qianye raised his eyebrows, deeply surprised. That finger is not as simple as it looks, he has already used the power of the morning light, although his original crystal is not completely stable at this moment, and the exclusive ability after becoming a god general has not yet appeared, but in terms of the attributes of the original force, the morning light Qiming has been purified again, and has moved a little closer to the origin of dawn.
The power of this finger is equivalent to that of an original force cannonball, but only such a small mark is left behind. The giant beast at the source of the bone bed's animal bones may not have been inferior to the earth dragon in strength during its lifetime.
Qianye suddenly heard a thud behind him, looked back, and saw that the high priest was already kneeling on the ground, touching his forehead to the ground, unable to get up. After the great sacrifice, the werewolf nobles also knelt down.
"What are you doing?" Qianye asked.
"We finally confirmed that you are our real king in the legend!"
"How did you confirm it?"
The high priest raised his head slightly and said, "This bed is made of the remains of divine beasts. For three hundred years, no one has been able to leave marks on it. Not even the Duke."
"Since these bones can't move, how is this bed made?"
"I was in charge of the production back then. In fact, all the frames of this bed are made of natural bones with appropriate shapes, and are fixed with belts."
Qianye uncovered all the animal skins, revealing the whole structure of the bed frame, as expected.
He picked up a few other animal skins and looked at them. Although they were not as good as the black and white stripes, they were not owned by ordinary beasts. There are so many types of Void Beast skins, and I don't know where the Duke of Bones got them.
It's a pity that these animal skins are used to make beds, and they are not comfortable. Qianye is even more unclear about Duke Bone's taste. He rolled up all the animal skins, threw them to Xu Jingxuan, and said: "Put these away, and turn them into battle armor."
Xu Jingxuan caught this large pile of animal skins, and couldn't help but take a step back to stabilize himself. He also knew the goods, and his face changed color after only one glance, and said: "There are so many!"
Qianye patted the bed frame again, and said, "Tear this down too, and send them all to the battleship."
The bones of the Void Behemoth are extremely hard, much harder than ordinary high-strength alloys. If you want to process it, you have to use a lot of special special tools. Among other things, the saw blades and drill bits for cutting and punching are not owned by ordinary craftsmen. The only ones who can master this kind of technology are the famous families of the Empire and the Eternal Night blood and demons.
Even Nanqing City, where the headquarters of Darkfire is located, cannot process these void giant beast bones, and most of them have to be sent to Ningyuan Heavy Industry's workshop in the empire.
Qianye walked around the bedroom again, this time paying attention to the surrounding accessories. Sure enough, there are quite a few bone ornaments made from the skeletons of giant void beasts, which are very valuable. Using the bones of the Void Behemoth as ornaments is really overkill.
At this time, Qianye finally knew why there was a small workshop dedicated to the Duke of Bones. He did not do these things himself, and with those primitive tools, there were not many people in the entire Emerald Sea who could process them.
The bone of the Void Behemoth is light and strong, and it is the best material, and the alloy with the best performance in the empire is not as good as it. For example, the bones that still have vitality on the dragon ship are even more priceless. The surrounding accessories may be works of art in the eyes of the Duke of Bones, but Qianye has no intention of appreciating them at all, and ordered people to tidy them up and move them to the battleship. Naturally, they will not be used for viewing.
Qianye looked at the bone bed for a long time. Since these are natural bones, he tried to learn more about the giant void beast through observation, but he couldn't figure it out. Qianye suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Since you supervised the production of the bone bed, are there any bones left?"
The high priest said: "Of course there are surpluses, and there are a lot of them. Some of the remaining bones of the beasts are in the altar of ancestors, and some are in the duke's secret treasury."
"Secret vault?"
"The duke has his own secret library, but only the duke knows where it is. All the artisans who built the secret library have been executed."
Qianye nodded, and said, "Then look for it slowly. Now go to the ancestor altar to have a look."
"My lord, this way please."
The Altar of the Ancestors is next to the Duke's Mansion, and it is also an extremely magnificent hall. The hall in the hall is 30 meters high, and at the end is an altar made of huge stones, on which stands a statue of a giant wolf carved from blue stone. Around the statue, the bones of some giant beasts were scattered.
There is also a small altar in front of the big altar, on which there are more than ten werewolf statues of different shapes. Judging from their costumes, they seem to belong to different tribes.
The high priest said: "This is the statue of the ancestors of the seventeen tribes who built the city of blue waves, and it is also our totem. The central position originally belonged to the Duke, but now it naturally belongs to you."
In the center of the altar, there is a piece of feldspar, which is obviously not finished yet. On the feldspar is a badge with the breath of Qianye.
In just a few days, the dark gold blood energy on the badge became much more lively, even more obvious than those of the werewolf tribe in the large corridor. The City of Blue Waves is indeed the royal city of the Emerald Sea, and the effect of the sacrifice is much stronger.
In Qianye's real vision, the seventeen statues of the ancestors were also surrounded by force, but now, they were all leaning to the side away from Qianye's badge, as if they were afraid of the dark gold blood energy.
Placing the badge in the center of the ancestor altar also showed the emerald sea werewolf tribe's attitude towards Qianye. If they were not sincerely surrendering, they would rather destroy the altar of ancestors than do so.
Up to now, Qianye has actually figured it out that it doesn't matter whether the legend circulating among werewolves is true or not. What really deters werewolves is the breath of the river of blood displayed by the dark gold blood energy, or more precisely, the river of blood The source, the power of the source of darkness.
In the final analysis, both demon energy and blood energy are part of the dark pedigree like the werewolf's ancestral power. They are located in different areas and thus resist each other. However, the end of the road to final purification is the same end point, which is the source of darkness!
In fact, these werewolves worshiped Qianye as the son of darkness. The power he displayed showed the supreme favor of darkness. As for which race he belonged to, it didn't matter anymore.
After looking at the altar of the ancestors, Qianye ordered people to take away the skeletons of the giant void beasts around the giant wolf totem, and then went to the meeting hall where the Duke of Bones often visited before his death.
The council hall is equally imposing. A long table of gold and stone is almost taller than an ordinary human man. Even for a werewolf, not just anyone can find confidence in front of this high table.
The huge stone chair at the end of the long table is just right for Duke Bone, and Qianye sits on it like a child. This stone chair is really too big, even if the Nerubian is sitting on it, it feels a bit empty. When the Duke of Bones was in heavy armor, there were bone spurs and fangs sticking out everywhere. If the chair wasn't big enough, it wouldn't fit.
Qianye sat down on the main seat by himself, but there was confusion for a while below. Finally, under the joint coordination of the high priest and Iska, Qianye's old department sat on one side, and the emerald sea werewolf nobles sat on the other side.
The first item on the agenda was the report. The high priest stood up and reported in detail the number of werewolves, taxation, soldiers, and products in the entire Emerald Sea, including the City of Blue Waves. Next came Iska, who reported on the pursuit and killing of the tens of thousands of werewolf warriors who escaped that day, and what other werewolves in the entire Emerald Sea werewolf tribe were still stubbornly resisting.
Those who still have clear resistance are the tribes in the marginal areas. There are hundreds of these tribes, large and small, and the total number of werewolves exceeds one million. It seems that they are not a small force. However, they are scattered everywhere, and they can be defeated individually. With the same number, the werewolf tribe is no match for Qianye's newly trained mixed troops. It is only a matter of time before these tribes are wiped out.
Then there are minerals and resources. The emerald sea wolves live in a primitive way, with backward technology. They don't have any prospecting technology at all, and what can be mined are some common goods. Judging from the current ore veins that can be easily mined with rough technology, there must be more abundant resources in the vast territory of the Emerald Sea, but it will take time to find out.
As for all kinds of resources, they are all jewels and jade, rare birds and animals. These things are the main means for emerald sea to be transported to other places in exchange for the needed weapons.
The City of Blue Waves is the core of the entire Emerald Sea. Relying on the rich fishery of the Emerald Sea, it is possible to stabilize this big city where hundreds of thousands of werewolves live. The rest of the cities are pitifully small, and by the standards of the empire, they can only be said to be settlements at the level of small towns.
After roughly understanding the general situation of the entire Emerald Sea, Qianye arranged six groups of troops according to the configuration of one Emerald Sea werewolf, one Great Corridor werewolf, and one mercenary general, with 20,000 mixed troops each, with the mercenary general as the leader. Lord, with the assistance of two werewolf nobles, they fought in all directions and wiped out the werewolf tribes that refused to surrender.
Both Eska and Xu Jingxuan were left behind, responsible for reorganizing the Emerald Sea Werewolves and forming a new mixed force. It's just that the burden of arming an army of hundreds of thousands of werewolves is extremely heavy. Even if it is placed on the territory of the Marquis of Daqin, it needs to be digested slowly. Qianye's current foundation alone is still too weak.
Even the werewolf nobles in the Emerald Sea understood when Song Hui reported the number of equipment she could provide each month with a stern face. According to the current output, it would take 20 to 30 years to arm these hundreds of thousands of werewolf fighters even at a minimum.
Qianye frowned after hearing this, and asked, "Can't we build more smelting fields?"
Song Huidao: "Even if it's easy to build a few smelters, where do the mines come from? Let alone mining, you haven't even looked for mines yet?"
Armament is an extremely complex industry that requires a wide variety of minerals, many of which require special mining and smelting techniques, and establishing a complete mining industry will not be achieved overnight.
While Qianye was pondering, the chief with bright feathers couldn't hold back his temper, and said: "Your Majesty, what is there to worry about? We werewolves go to war, why do we need so many weapons and armor? If not, why don't we fight? Don't worry. , the claws and teeth of our werewolves are the best weapons, and our fur is the best armor!"
These words were impassioned, but made the other chiefs and priests roll their eyes. A werewolf is just brave, not stupid. If you have armor and don't use it, aren't you a fool
