Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 257
Chapter 257: The Arrangement of the War Trophies
The matters in the underground city of the karst cave were settled.
Kant led the team back.
But before they left completely, they also cleaned up the entire battlefield in the underground city.
For example, the abyssal demons, the imps and long-horned demons that were killed, as well as the demonized creatures. They kept all the corpses and placed them together, waiting for further processing.
No matter what, the corpses of these demons were all valuable.
The mages had a unique understanding of this.
The broken rune sword used by the strongest abyssal demon. Although it was broken, it was still a powerful killing weapon, and it was a magic weapon.
After Kant came into contact with it, he confirmed the mages’ guess that it was indeed a magic weapon.
[Ding… unknown strange object found. ]
[ You can choose to let the system to absorb it and obtain the honor point, or sell it to a merchant in exchange for denar. ]
The system gave a hint.
Kant pondered for a moment, but still chose to let the system to absorb it.
Compared to denar, he was still fond of the honor points of being able to draw a lottery.
After all, in the system’s lucky draw, one could draw a large amount of denar as a gift package.
However, a system currency like denar could not be exchanged for honor point. Comparing the two, the value of honor point was obviously higher. Even if Kant did not have enough denar to use, he wouldn’t want to exchange it for money.
If he could get better resources in the lottery, Kant would not foolishly exchange the honor point for denar.
“Give it to the system to absorb!”
Kant made his choice without hesitation.
Following his confirmation, the data stream instantly spread out and appeared in his palm, directly wrapping around the broken rune sword. The entire broken sword was 4 meters long and 3 meters wide, as thick as a human leg. It was completely devoured by the system’s data stream.
In a short moment, it disappeared in front of Kant.
[ Ding… system prompt ]
[ You have received 10 honor points for absorbing this strange item. ]
The system’s introduction stunned Kant.
“10 honor points.”
This was a pleasant surprise.
In Kant’s expectations, this broken rune sword was an unknown strange item. It was enough for him to sell it for 2 or 3 honor points. He did not expect it to be so much!
A full 10 honor points represented the 11 lucky draws in the system mall.
“It is indeed a surprise.”, Kant smiled.
The mages behind him also suggested, “My lord, the organs, skin, hair, bones, and muscles of these demons are all excellent magic materials. If we can bring them back to the Enfath Empire, then the corpses of these demons can definitely be converted into expensive denar.”
“Oh.”, Kant nodded. “This is indeed very useful.”, he turned to look at the corpses of the demons, especially the huge abyssal demon. He stroked his chin and said, “They can be recycled.”
“To us spellcaster, these are all very valuable items.”
The mages shrugged.
These demons absorbed the negative energy of hell or the abyss all year round, so the negative energy contained in their bodies was very rich. The negative energy contained in the organs and some parts of their bodies was even more pure.
It could be said that it was an essential material for the mages to carry out some negative energy magic experiments.
Kant had obviously expected this.
Because this world seemed to have studied the bodies of creatures like demons.
It was recorded in some historical ancient books that mages had once collected a large number of demon corpses in order to study magic. However, demons were also legends in this world.
Although there was news of demons spreading all over the country, it was extremely rare.
Hence, the mage tower turned to purchase common demonized creatures.
In particular, black gemstones condensed from negative energy were the more important resources to purchase.
Just like the Stone Pass located at the Senwaya Range. Although agriculture and animal husbandry were not very good, because there were so many demonized creatures, it became one of the means for Baron Dylan and the villagers to earn silver coins.
Sometimes, the mage tower needed a huge amount of resources.
The villagers and residents would even hire mercenaries to help kill the demonized creatures.
However, Kant thought about this and pondered.
He turned to the mages and asked with a frown, “The Enfath Empire buys the bodies of these demons, but will other continents, such as the Continent of Caradia and the Continent of Pendor, buy these things?”
“Uh…”, the mages were slightly stunned.
“My lord, they won’t.”
A Rhodok sergeant glanced at the corpses of the demons and shook his head. “At least Caradia won’t. These things don’t have much value.”. After a pause, he looked at the cast gold chairs and cutlery that were about to be unpacked, he shrugged and said, “But that gold can be exchanged for a lot of denars. It’s a little cutie that everyone needs.”
“The Pendor Continent also needs gold. It won’t be welcomed for these filthy evil things.”, the Ravenstern rangers also shook their heads. “Even those evil charlatans of the Snake Worship Sect can’t accept these things.”
Kant shook his head, “As expected.”
The bodies of these creatures that originated from the high-level magic world were not welcome in the low-level magic world.
Caradia was the original version and did not have any magic at all.
Pendor was in the end of the magic era. The so-called magic had been lost for tens of thousands of years. It was more like a magic trick.
It should be known that even the special race, the Nord Elves, were struggling to survive in the jungle. The powerful demons in the underworld could only infiltrate the continent in small groups like thieves.
Although the humans were weak, the humans were the overlords of the entire continent in the world of Pendor!
These fallen races could only struggle to survive and hand over the hegemony of the continent to the humans.
“If it’s a fantasy MOD like the “The Lord of the Rings”, it might be useful.”
Kant frowned slightly.
But the most important thing was that he did not have the conditions to sell it to outsiders.
For example, the elemental gemstones.
They could be sold as pure and beautiful luxury gemstones to the historical MOD.
However, these corpses were different. Only those nobles who were so bored would buy the remains of these demons. Although some nobles would buy some ferocious demon heads as ornaments to show off their strength.
However, no noble would buy demon eyeballs, arms, hearts, and the like.
Hence, the market was very narrow.
If one wanted to have a market, one had to open up trade routes in other fantasy MOD worlds.
Fortunately, Kant had a trade caravan.
And there were two of them. They could randomly cross into an unfamiliar MOD world and form a trade route with the city of that world.
As long as one of the trade caravan entered the fantasy MOD world, they could sell the corpses of these demons and obtain a large amount of denars for Kant. They could even form a long-term supply. After all, there were many demonized creatures in the Senwaya Range, no matter how one searched for them, there would always be some. It was just like the slave trade that had yet to begin and was still in the preparatory stage!
Sending Bunduk to the “Aaron” Village wasn’t just to organize its defense. It was also to send troops into the Senwaya Range to search for the Jackalan tribe. After that, they would be captured as slaves and sold to the snowfield mine of the Kingdom of Vaegirs!
It was the slave trading plan that Kant was currently implementing.
The system’s loan of 120,000 denars weighed heavily on Kant’s heart.
After packing up everything, he was truly preparing to return.
The troops advanced.
The stone road of the ancient passage was still flat.
However, compared to the 555-men army, after the bitter battle, there were only 317 people left.
100 Rhodok sergeants, 20 Rhodok crossbowmen, 87 Ravenstern rangers, 103 Swadian knights, and 7 mages from the Enfath Empire.
The casualties reached one-third of the total army.
In Kant’s opinion, it was very worth it.
Because the main casualties of the troop class were the level 3 Rhodok trained spearmen.
And the gains were all the troops formed by the level 5 troop class.
Their combat strength had increased by several times!
It was incomparable.
Kant spurred his horse forward, only leading all the Swadian knights forward quickly.
There were footmen left behind in the ancient passage to escort the war trophies back slowly. After all, these footmen were all elites. In such a narrow space, even if they were to encounter a savage demonized creature or that terrifying abyssal demon, with the help of the mages, they would have the strength to fight!
Therefore, Kant was very relieved. He was anxious to leave this place as soon as possible and return to his own village as soon as possible.
Bunduk’s injuries were also on Kant’s mind.
His body was drenched in the demon’s blood, and his skin had been corroded by the demon’s blood.
If he hadn’t washed it with clean water immediately, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
But even so, Kant intended to return to the village as soon as possible to see if Bunduk’s injuries had been healed. James was a professional doctor in the history MOD, so it was still unknown whether he could deal with this kind of fantastic injuries.
Cavalry troops sped through the passage.
Very fast.
After nearly six hours of travel, they finally saw a faint light in front of them.
It was the bonfire that rose at the entrance of the ancient passage.
Five desert bandits were carrying scimitars and holding spears to guard. When they heard the roar of the warhorses, the echo of the ancient passage seemed to blot out the sky and the sun, and their faces were somewhat pale.
However, they also knew that Kant had returned with the heavy cavalry.
The Swadian knights were very conspicuous.
Turning over to dismount, Kant threw the horsewhip to the desert bandits in front of him and asked, “Is Bunduk back?”
“He’s back. He’s being treated by Lord James.”
The desert bandits hurriedly replied.
“How’s the situation?”, Kant frowned.
“A little…”, the desert bandit stuttered. “We just came back, but we saw that the wound was very terrifying. Even if Lord James is very skilled in medicine, we still have to be mentally prepared.”
“Damn it.”, Kant gritted his teeth.
He did not continue asking questions and quickly walked out of the ruins.
The knights behind him also shook their heads and sighed.
His internal organs had been corroded, so it was really difficult to save him unless they had mysterious extraordinary powers. However, the mages had also said that they were not priests who knew healing spells.
