Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1319 - 900, The Black Sharp Sting
After Black Thorn left, it wasn’t long before the eldest and second black-armored sisters came over.
Fang Hao took them directly to the Trade Alliance’s station.
First, they went to the Fire Hammer Shop and booked a craftsman to repair the equipment.
In yesterday’s battle, Alurag’s long spear was broken, and his armor had a big hole; all these needed repairs.
The blacksmiths he had were still lacking in skills.
It still required more professional people to do the repairs.
After leaving the Fire Hammer Shop, Fang Hao started looking for the Lizardmen shop in the south area.
This place was the commercial street rebuilt after the Trade Alliance’s restructuring, and the location of each shop had some changes.
It took a while before he finally found the shop.
Entering the shop, the staff respectfully led him directly to the third floor.
In a private room, a faint scent lingered.
"Lord Fang Hao, please sit here!" A red-scaled lizardman spoke gently.
Fang Hao and the others sat down on the chairs.
In front of them was a thin veil, through which they could vaguely see a figure lying on a couch with a bulging belly.
And a few servants carefully attending to her.
Judging by the size of the belly, she must be close to giving birth.
"Why did you think of coming here?" the voice of the Lizardwomen Queen came from behind the veil.
"How’s your physical condition?" Fang Hao asked.
"It’s okay, just that my sleep hasn’t been good..."
"Eh, I have some dragon meat left, I’ll send some over for you to make some soup to nourish your body," Fang Hao continued.
With her status as a queen, naturally, she lacked nothing.
He thought for a moment that dragon meat was somewhat rare.
Moreover, now that the Dragon Queen was living in the city, the city dared not to stew soup anymore.
There was still a lot of dragon meat left in the warehouse.
The figure behind the veil suddenly paused, and it took a while before she said, "Don’t scare me, that’s better than anything."
"What are you talking about…"
"Did you come here for something important?" the Lizardwomen Queen directly asked his purpose.
Fang Hao took the tea handed over by a maid, had a sip, then spit it back out, and said, "Indeed, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."
"Oh? Let’s hear it."
"Eh... when I say it, don’t get nervous."
It was difficult, he should have let Demitrija handle this talk.
If something happened, he couldn’t take this responsibility.
"If you don’t say it, I’ll be more nervous."
"It’s nothing serious, just want to ask if you could contact the Ancient Saint, to have a talk," Fang Hao stated his purpose.
"With the Ancient Saint... have a talk?" The queen’s tone changed instantly, surprised with strong emotional fluctuations.
"Yes, he is the deity we worship, planning to discuss some matters with the Ancient Saint."
Last night’s conversation with the Dragon Queen had awakened him.
Whether or not it was truly necessary to seek help from other deities, reaching out and establishing a mutual assistance alliance was necessary.
The only ones he could contact were the Lizardmen’s Ancient Saint and the Sea Tribe’s God of the Ocean.
Better to try, it wouldn’t make things worse.
After a good while, the Lizardwomen Queen finally spoke, "I will take the message back, as for the outcome, it depends on whether the Ancient Saint responds or not."
The Ancient Saint differed from ordinary deities.
They didn’t belong to the same era and generally wouldn’t communicate with believers through divine appearances.
So, whether he could get a response was really hard to say.
"Of course..."
After finishing this matter, he casually chatted with the Lizardwomen Queen for a while.
He imparted some baby-care knowledge he deemed useful.
For example, listening to more songs helps the baby’s musical cells, reciting poems to children, and so on.
Basically, what he had heard before became part of their chat.
After chatting for a while, they said goodbye and left the shop.
...
After leaving the Lizardmen shop, they used the Trade Alliance’s transport to head to the Sea Tribe’s Rainbow Pearl Island.
The huge pearls, under the sunlight, emitted dazzling rays.
Fang Hao did not go to the Royal Palace, but directly to the Temple.
As soon as he stepped into the Temple.
The witch ’Loreille’ noticed the three people and came over to greet them.
"Lord," Witch Loreille bowed as a greeting.
Loreille was a disciple of the God of the Ocean, and the previous contacts with the God of the Ocean had been through her.
"Yes, contact the God of the Ocean, ask if she has time for a chat? About deep cooperation," Fang Hao directly stated.
Hearing that it involved contacting a deity, the witch became serious.
"Lord, please come this way, there’s a quiet room inside."
The witch led the three into a room inside the temple.
After all three were seated.
The witch closed her eyes in concentration, and when she opened them again, her divine light was brilliant.
"Do you want to see me?" The witch spoke flatly, her demeanor and temperament completely transformed.
"Yes, there’s something I’d like to discuss."
"What is it?"
"My territory is expanding the temple, planning to establish divine positions for ally deities to gather faith in the temple," Fang Hao looked at her.
The God of the Ocean’s brows furrowed, immediately understanding the implication.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sought her out to talk about his temple expansion.
She thought for a moment, then quickly said, "Have you encountered trouble?"
"It can be said so..."
"Still the God of Deception?"
Last time when facing the God of Deception, he had consulted her about this matter.
So she knew about it.
And not just her.
The followers of the God of Deception had also received an oracle to deal with a transmigrator.
In fact, quite a few people knew about it.
"This isn’t important, I want to find some allies who can help each other," Fang Hao continued.
In truth, it was just an exchange of interests.
I set up a statue for you, you gather faith in my territory, naturally, you should help protect the safety of my territory.
Otherwise, if the territory is gone, you also lose a place to gather faith.
That was the meaning.
The God of the Ocean did not answer directly but said, "I need to think about this matter; I will have someone give you a reply later."
"That’s acceptable..."
Forming an alliance is not a trivial matter.
Once agreed, it could involve many issues.
Not refusing directly was actually a good start.
After their conversation, the God of the Ocean withdrew his divine presence, and the expression of the witch immediately became respectful.
"Sir, is there anything else?"
"No, you can go ahead with your tasks, we will leave on our own later."
"Yes, sir." The witch left the room.
Fang Hao also deactivated the light screen and returned to the main city with his two sisters.
...
Afternoon.
Back in the main city, he saw Anjia standing on a war chariot, flying chaotically above.
But the mount pulling it had changed from a Giant Lizard to two Purple-scaled horses.
Presumably, the Giant Lizards were all tired out and had to be switched out for something else.
He called over two Harpies to keep a watch on Anjia to avoid any danger.
He himself walked towards the Lord’s mansion.
The two deities he contacted this time, both asked him to wait for further news.
The Lizardmen side, he had to wait for a notification.
The God of the Ocean, too, needed to consider.
Whether it will work out in the end, was hard to say.
Moreover, Fang Hao did not trust them too much.
In the Fire Hammer Shop, Alurag’s equipment needed a week to be repaired.
Once fixed, it would be sent directly, and they didn’t have to fetch it.
This wasn’t really a problem, just that the time was somewhat long.
He was also pondering how to recruit some talents above the level of craftsman.
After all, with a demigod in the territory, without some craftsperson, it simply showed a lack of depth with only military power.
Just upon entering the hall,
He saw a Funeral Priest and a Living Dead who had been waiting for a long time.
The Living Dead was dressed in dark ceremonial garb, with a rapier hanging at his waist, his skin shriveled and dry, but his upright posture still carried an inherent elegance.
Dark Elves, even made into Living Dead with purple skin.
"Sir," the Funeral Priest stood up.
"Yes."
"This is the new Living Dead Hero, Hoyle," the Funeral Priest continued.
The Living Dead Dark Elf stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Hoyle, at your lordship’s service."
Dark Sting - Hoyle (Dark Gold Tier 4 Hero)
This Dark Gold Hero was the Island Master they had killed on Skeleton Island during their encounter with the pirates.
They had bound the Hero Altar of Skeleton Island.
At that time, they had seized Skeleton Island in one go, not giving any chance for them to resurrect.
Time passed, and this Dark Gold Hero had also been made into a Living Dead Hero.
"Hmm, take a seat over there."
The Funeral Priest and the Living Dead Dark Elf sat back down on the wooden chairs on the side.
Fang Hao also sat down and did not start immediately speaking but first opened the Book of Lords and checked the hero’s attributes.
