After accepting the offerings from everyone in the history department, the big octopus returned to his home lair with a full harvest, happily letting them pass through the undersea mountains.

Everyone trudged forward in the seabed gap. Unlike the light bodies of the undead, the players' movements were obviously much slower. Xiao Zhi also felt the difficulty of repeating this journey.

Finally, they passed through the gap, and the huge and spectacular city appeared in front of them.

"This... there is actually a city in the core area of ​​the new map!!!"

"Such a big city, could this be Atlantis?"

"Wake up, that is a legend from the Earth Age, so it is possible for it to appear here."

Bai Yan observed the city carefully and showed a thoughtful expression: "I remember it was recorded in the ancient books of the Xiyue tribe that they originally lived on the seabed and only migrated to the land after the catastrophe on the seabed. Is it possible here? Is it the city of Kenas in the records?"

Everyone in the history department began to discuss:

"Is it true? It's incredible that this place is still there after the catastrophe!" "

Why don't we go and see it?"

Nodding: "Let's go and take a look. The buildings in Kenas are quite unique. You can tell at a glance whether they are."

As he said that, he was going to lead the kind-hearted players to take a look at the city below.

Bai Yan turned to look at Einstein and the others who had provided them with internal information: "What about you? Do you want to come with us?"

Einstein smiled and refused: "No, our profession needs to record some things, so we won't. I'll go with you."

Bai Yan nodded: "Okay, I wish you all the best. Goodbye."

The three of them said goodbye to Bai Yan and swam in another direction together.

Bai Yan looked at the three people's retreating figures, with a trace of inquiry hidden in his eyes.

This inside information came at just the right time, and the content just guided them into the city. Could it be that the person who gave the information was actually hidden among a few people?

He thought about the cynical Einstein, then thought about Wade, who was a genius in data and information, and finally thought about the mysterious man who seemed to just want to play games with subsidies, but he Xiao Zhi always makes big noises.

Bai Yan shook his head, forget it, since the three people over there don't want to say it clearly, it's better not to think about this issue carefully. He doesn't want to be an annoying senior brother at all.

·

On ​​the other side, Xiao Zhi and his senior brothers went to Kenas City.

They took a lot of screenshots of the building so that they could compile it into data for research later. While filming, Xiao Zhi explained to them what he had gained from his previous rough exploration of Kenas City, including the approximate races living in each area and the class distribution in the city.

Einstein asked: "Junior brother, do you want to go out of the city with us later?"

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "Forget it, I will leave first after this wave of filming is completed. Fire magic is too restricted in the water. "

In the world of ZERO, magic is also affected by the environment. Fire magic will become stronger in a hot and dry environment like the desert, but it will definitely become weaker in a humid environment, and it may only be weak in the sea. There is only one tenth left, and it is difficult to even gather the fire element.

He could only explore in the undead state before because the fire of the undead was not a physical flame, so it was not restricted by the seabed. But now, from time to time, I will encounter a player, and it will be very troublesome if I am caught using the Dead Soul Crystal.

Xiao Zhi continued: "I have to show up over there in Heisen. I haven't shown my face for several days, so I can't be too arrogant about skipping work."

Wei Di sighed: "Junior brother is really a busy man."

Xiao Zhi Looking at Wei Di with a smile: "Senior brother, do you want to help me solve some paperwork?"

Wei Di: "..."

It doesn't make sense, senior brother is actually addicted to exploiting him.

Xiao Zhi coaxed: "How about I share with you the exclusive gossip circulated within Hesse?"

Hesse has undead from all races, ages, and classes in the mainland.

Naturally, they also hold a lot of secret information that is unknown on the continent. Maybe some people want to eliminate the undead, but also want to bury the ulterior secrets of themselves or their families.

With the status of secretary, Xiao Zhi can visit many undead people naturally, and he knows a lot of gossip, such as: a certain well-known minister does not like to take a bath, a certain monarch likes to play in the mud in private, and a certain princess who is alluring to the country. It seems to be a man...

Wade: "...Deal."

Don't blame him for not being firm, it's just that the enemy's bait is too good.

After completing the collection of architectural data in the city, Xiao Zhi said goodbye to his senior brothers, then put on his vest and used the teleportation stone to return to the Hessen Trading Area.

·

The trade area is now basically presentable. Based on Xiao Zhi's planning, Milton has integrated Hessian features into the architecture, making the entire area look neat and unique, even as a tourist attraction.

Of course, this attraction is an attraction with Hessian characteristics, such as street lamps emitting a ghostly green light, noticeboards made of skeletons, and decorations that suddenly catch passers-by.

These can bring every outsider a new experience, which will definitely make people feel sleepless and feel the all-round care of Hesse.

The transportation network is also basically completed. Only some remote areas are still under construction, but they are already ready for use.

Xiao Zhi went to the Government Affairs Center in the trade area, which he set up to facilitate Milton's work. Milton usually worked here, and Xiao Zhi would come here occasionally.

After knocking on the door of Milton's office, Xiao Zhi entered to discuss the future development with Milton.

Milton said: "The trade zone is almost ready and will be opened soon. However, the biggest problem currently is the lack of manpower. There are too few people who are good at management among the undead."

Xiao Zhi also agreed.

Most of the undead are warlike, and even those who were peaceful in life will become violent and irritable after dying with resentment. It is quite difficult to let them do management. Maybe if they see a fight on the road, the undead who are managers will not be able to help but join in.

Like Milton, there are very few people who have some ideals and convert themselves into undead. The few that are left have all been collected into the government affairs center, but even so, there is still a shortage of manpower.

Xiao Zhi thought deeply: "Yeah, we have to think of a way. We can't assassinate dignitaries from other countries, right?"

Milton became interested: "You mean...?"

Xiao Zhi smiled and joked: "That's right. Go and kill the talent of any company you like. If you're lucky, won't they be our Hesse people after they die?"

Milton showed an expression of sudden realization: "Ah, so it can still be like this. !"

Xiao Zhi: "...I was just kidding."

Milton was a little regretful: "Is it just a joke?"

Xiao Zhi quickly explained: "If people know that we did it, they will definitely not work hard. , and may even be secretly planning revenge, which will not do Hesse any good at all."

Milton thought for a moment and then said: "Then... what if we change the way of thinking? We can send people to lurk and observe the political figures who are about to be assassinated. Once the assassination of the political opponents is successful and the deceased is transformed into the undead, we will not Is there a chance?"

"..." Xiao Zhi thought for a while, and it seemed to make sense...

but he felt like he was trying to figure it out.

Will there be a legend spread on the mainland in the future that people who are about to die will have the Heisen God of Death around them, and once you die, they will take you to Heisen?

·

Farewell to Milton, Xiao Zhi returned to the Bone Palace to deal with recent documents.

Because of the need to open the trade area, the recent documents are slightly more than the previous ones.

Xiao Zhi processed some documents that required his own decision-making, and gave some other screenshots of trivial contents to Wei Di, and then fished while waiting to copy Wei Di's answers.

Xiao Zhi skillfully and quietly opened the address book, looking at the world channel for a while and browsing the forum for a while.

At this time, a hot post was posted on the home page.

Xiao Zhi took a look and realized that it was good. This time he was finally not his friend, but he was someone he knew - [Subject: Hahahahaha Longinus actually did such a thing! ! ! ! 】.

Longinus is the ID of Timgaard's game. He is a topical figure who often appears in player discussions in the game. Of course, Ruoye, also known as Bai Yan, is usually mentioned at the same time.

The two of them fought all the way from reality to the game, and then from the game to the reality, and they never tired of it.

Xiao Zhi thought of the figures of the mecha system retreating under the sea and couldn't help but click on the post.

The guy who posted this post is a kind person. He didn't use a long paragraph of pretentious text. He went straight to the topic. The topic of the post was a picture.

The picture was taken in a huge cave. The environment seems to be in the sea, and you can see many shells, fish and shrimps around it.

In the center of the screen was a group of people. Xiao Zhi glanced at them and saw that they all looked familiar. They were all mecha type people, and the leader was Timgarde.

In the screenshot, Timgaard is wearing a gorgeous pink dress and is fixed to the cave wall by strange seaweed. I don't know which doll the skirt was taken from. The hem of the skirt is very gorgeous, and it floats in the water, giving it a somewhat dreamy feel.

The skirt is dotted with jewelry, but judging from the way the jewelry floats in the water, it must be fake. Among the giant octopus collection, Xiao Zhi is the only one who is willing to use real jewelry to make a puppet for it.

At this moment, Timgaard's face was filled with "Why should I live in this world?" It seemed that he had suffered a major blow that was unacceptable, and his whole person was in a state of emptiness.

The poster's description is: Hahahaha! ! ! I originally thought it would be terrible for me to be captured by a giant octopus and to wear a pink dress, but to my surprise, I actually saw Longinus! ! hahahahahahahaha! He was in worse condition than me, and his skirt was pinker than mine. Thank you, man. I feel much better.

The following replies are basically:

Hahahahahahahaha! ! !

@如叶@如叶@如叶@如叶@如叶

It's over, I dare to laugh at the boss, I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten to death, but I can't help it hahahahahaha! ! !

What about the Ares people? Why didn't it appear in the post? Could it be that the entire army was wiped out?

Look at the group of people in pink skirts behind Longinus, aren't they the God of War's people?

Ha ha ha ha! ! The one who is as good as water comes out to celebrate the new year! ! ! You have all the material to talk about this year.

Xiao Zhi's eyes were filled with sympathy, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. It was really Timgarde's hopeless expression, paired with a dreamy pink dress, that was so funny.

He covered his mouth with difficulty to prevent himself from laughing out loud in the government office.

·

After some time, the trade zone finally opened.

Xiao Zhi released the news through various channels, and soon the news spread on the mainland.

Those who felt itchy about the new map but could not successfully reach it immediately put their unexplored enthusiasm into the newly opened Hesse Trade Zone.

Hesse has always been the most mysterious and exclusive place on the continent.

I had heard before that they were working on a big project mysteriously. At that time, many people thought they were preparing for some mysterious ceremony, but they didn't expect that they actually built a trade zone in the end!

This was such an unheard-of move that some people even thought they had received fake news.

But whether they are believers or not, the majority still want to come and take a look. After all, the experience of entering the Black Forest without being beaten to death is really rare, even if you can only go to the trade area to buy a special teleportation stone that sells for a very dark price.

After they were prepared to be defrauded of money and teleported to the Hesse Trade Area, they found that the place was actually well-built. Not only does it sell Heisen's exclusive materials, but it also sells specialties that cannot be bought on the mainland, such as soul lamps, undead potions, etc. There are also shops available for rent.

There are even places to stay and eat, but it looks so spooky that it feels like living in it is as fun as going to a funeral.

Hesse even allows outsiders to explore within designated areas after identity checks, and there are clear tax standards for exploration income. If you want to sell directly to Hesse's purchaser, that's fine. Although the price is lower than the market price, it's more convenient and you can avoid transaction tax.

In addition to trade, there is also a special tourism project - the undead carriage tour.

Visitors can pay a fee to ride in a fully enclosed undead carriage. The carriage is very sturdy and protected by formations inside.

The carriage will take passengers through the Black Forest, passing through the settlements of some dangerous beasts and undead creatures, allowing people to experience the feeling of contact with them up close, just like going to the wild animal world.

The visitors were shocked, Hesse was really here...

·

While Xiao Zhi was working in the trade zone, he received a contact from Mulan Fasha.

Mulan Fasa said that the Yuan tribe had gathered most of the people and successfully crossed the seamount by putting on pink cloaks and giving dolls to the giant octopus.

Now they have all entered Kernas City, and the city is in better shape than they imagined.

The buildings are much more comfortable than the houses they had built with stones before. The houses that did not collapse can basically be occupied with a little cleaning. They plan to clean the buildings selected for the Hessian Consulate at the same time.

After that, you can start repairing the teleportation array.

The materials and plans for building the teleportation array back then are still there. It is estimated that it won't be long before Kenas can be connected to the mainland for the first time, and this sleeping undersea city will officially appear in front of the world.

Xiao Zhi said congratulations to him, and by the way, he talked about some of his recent experience in developing the trade zone, as well as some of the management methods of tourist attractions that he once knew, hoping to be helpful to the Yuan clan.

After hanging up the communication, Xiao Zhi felt that he needed to report to Asen about the consulate. After all, this was within the scope of diplomacy, and it was not a trivial matter. It was unreasonable to leave it entirely to the secretary.

Although he always felt that Asen probably wouldn't mind...but the procedure still had to go.

After making a report about the consulate and sorting out the situation in the recent trade area, Xiao Zhi put away the documents, got on the undead carriage and walked towards the corpse palace.

The trade area is quite far away from the Bone Palace. After all, the Bone Palace is the core area of ​​Hesse. How can people be allowed to come and go at will? Therefore, the transportation network can only cover a certain distance from the Bone Palace, and you have to find a way for the rest of the period yourself.

Xiao Zhi felt that he was at a disadvantage. The undead knights could ride their own mounts back, but as a clerk without a mount, he could only float by himself. Fortunately, the undead were fast and did not feel tired while floating.

At this time, it suddenly started raining in the sky.

The sky, which had always been dark all year round, was now even darker. The clouds were so low that they seemed to be falling. Unlike other areas on the continent, the raindrops in Heisen were gray, which made people feel uncomfortable.

It rarely rains in Heisen, and Xiao Zhi has never considered bringing an umbrella.

Because the rain in Heisen doesn't just look gloomy, it's corrosive when it rains. Standing in the rain, you'll lose your health.

If someone dares to run in the Heisen rain, he will soon fall down in the heavy rain and never get up again. Only those who want to die or those who love to commit suicide will do this.

Ordinary umbrellas don't work well in the face of such powerful rain, and they will be corroded and develop holes within a short time. Unless the umbrella is made according to the weapon level and is slightly more advanced, it will not be able to withstand it at all.

Fortunately, the Heisen trees can withstand the corrosion of rainwater, and the Heisen soil can also neutralize the corrosiveness of rainwater. And every time it rains in Hesse, it doesn't last long. You just need to find a tree to stay calm.

Xiao Zhi quickly found a big tree to take shelter from the rain, and was able to escape the attack of raindrops.

He stood under the tree, staring at the patter of raindrops in a daze. Surrounded by a dark forest, every leaf looked shiny after being washed by raindrops, which made it feel a little different from usual.

There was even a little bit of stillness and serenity.

"Seventeen."

A voice sounded beside him, a deep voice that seemed to be born with such a coolness.

Xiao Zhi was startled by the voice and returned to reality from his daze. He turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw Frost standing to his right, holding an umbrella in his hand.

He arrived quietly, as if he appeared out of thin air and arrived at Xiao Zhi's side.

"Lord." Xiao Zhi saluted him.

He couldn't help but glance at the umbrella in Frost's hand. It must be a high-end item that can move forward in the Heisen rain.

The umbrella is completely black, but the material on the surface has delicate textures. It seems to be made of the leather of some kind of Warcraft. The metal part is also black, with exquisite patterns all over it. Every detail seems to reveal ingenuity, and must have been made by some master.

Seeing Xiao Zhi looking at his umbrella, Frost explained lightly: "The trophy, I forgot which unlucky guy it came from."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Very good, this is in line with Hessen's usual style.

Frost looked at him: "Are you going back to the Bone Palace?"

Xiao Zhi replied: "Yes."

"Want to go together?" Frost gently shook the umbrella in his hand and said calmly.

Since the boss personally invited him, how could Xiao Zhi, as the younger brother, refuse?

He nodded and walked under the umbrella.

Frost didn't say anything more and walked slowly towards the direction of the Corpse Palace with Xiao Zhi.

As if he was worried about the raindrops that would drift in the wind, he moved forward very slowly, holding the umbrella steadily with his hand to ensure that both of them were well protected under the umbrella.

There was a gray rain curtain all around, giving everything in sight a hazy gray tone, making it look a bit unreal. Only the space under the umbrella was as usual, which gave Xiao Zhi an illusion that there were only two of them left in the world.

The distance between the two was very close, and Xiao Zhi smelled the woody fragrance on Frost's body that seemed to blend with the Heisen.

This actually reminded Xiao Zhi that he and Asen had encountered a dark rain a long time ago.

But at that time, the two poor guys didn't have such a powerful umbrella. They could only sit under the tree together, chatting while eating the snacks Xiao Zhi brought, and they had a good time.

Neither of them spoke. The raindrops fell on the umbrella, making a crisp sound, but it seemed even quieter under the umbrella, which was a bit unbearable.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but say: "Lord, I'm here to report to you this time about the recent development of the trade zone, and the discussion between the Yuan clan and me about setting up a Hessian consulate in the latest city of Kenas. "

Frost: "Tell me."

Xiao Zhi took out the paperwork and told Frost what he had prepared before.

Frost had been listening silently and did not express any objection to any of Xiao Zhi's arrangements, which even made Xiao Zhi wonder if he was seriously in a daze.

"That's it for now." Xiao Zhi raised his head and glanced at Frost.

The sight made his heart skip a beat.

Frost was looking at him with a look that seemed to be able to see through people, as if through the disguise of the Dead Soul Crystal, through the false face created by the game, until he saw the person lying in the game cabin. Xiao Zhi himself is the same.

I don't know how long he looked at Xiao Zhi like this. The atmosphere fell into stagnation again, no one said anything between the two, they just looked at each other quietly, and no one moved forward.

Unknowingly, the rain had stopped, and without the continuous sound of rain as a background, it seemed like there was a dead silence between the two of them.

After a moment, Frost withdrew his gaze: "I have no objection."

After saying that, he put away his umbrella and walked forward alone.

Xiao Zhi just watched his back leaving little by little, without answering for a moment.

Suddenly, Frost's steps stopped. He did not look back, but said lightly: "Qianye Dew is delicious."

After that, he continued to move forward, and his figure gradually disappeared into the forest, as if he came here specially to meet Xiao . It's just a section of the same road in the rain.

Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about how he handed someone a bottle of Qianye Dew when he was at Nafa's burial ground.

At that time, Frost didn't have any reaction after finishing the drink. Unexpectedly, he came to tell him how good it was now.

This actually made him feel like he was seeing the gentle young man again.

Xiao Zhi thought deeply, since Asen likes it, then buy it.

Bought all the flavors!

He was going to contact Qianyewu right away and ask him to provide him with the freshest sources, including the newly developed green onion flavor.

·

Afterwards, with the opening of the trade zone, Xiao Zhi and Milton became busier and busier, almost going crazy.

I never thought that mainland residents would be so enthusiastic about the Hesse Trade Zone. The number of people who came on the first day was okay, and they were all tentative. On the second day, the number of people began to increase explosively, and the various things that needed to be dealt with also doubled.

Because of Yuanhai Exploration, the sales of soul lamps were unexpectedly good, so the craftsmen in charge had to start working overtime.

The sightseeing projects were extremely busy, with carriages coming one after another. There were so many tourists that the undead creatures were stunned. Fortunately, the horses pulling the carriages were also undead, otherwise they would probably die of exhaustion.

There are all kinds of things going on in the exploration area.

Xiao Zhi secretly divided some of the affairs and asked for support from his senior brothers, but he was still too busy.

As a last resort, Xiao Zhi also dragged over many undead knights to help. Even Dean and Lance, who were knight commanders, also came, although these two people were more of a deterrent.

As for the lord...

he'd better not come. Wherever the Hessian lord is, no one would dare to come.

As for Arifa...

just be cute.

Of course, there are benefits to being busy. The income from the trade zone is endless, nourishing Hesse's national treasury, which is about to bottom out. It may not be long before the next round of construction can begin.

After the first few days, everything gradually got on track, and Xiao Zhi finally felt like he could take a breath.

But there is a shortage of manpower!

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but ask Milton: "Have those officials we were targeting before been assassinated today?"

Milton looked regretful: "It's a pity, not yet..."

Not dead means that The inability to transform the undead also meant that they still couldn't find the manpower.

Both of them couldn't help but sigh, hoping that the political struggle among the countries on the Dazemenya continent could be more cruel...

The author had something to say: Asen looked at the green onion flavored Chiba dew in front of him:...

Did he say something? Misleading words?
