46 The Fourth Lord Talent!
World City.
The surrounding atmosphere seemed to have quietened down.
These subjects of World City did not seem to expect their Lord to die so easily in front of them.
They were immediately delighted.
“Good riddance to bad rubbish!”
“This nightmare is finally over!”
“I finally don’t have to endure his bullying in the future!”
“Great!”
…
A few World City subjects looked at Zheng Huaiba’s corpse with expressions of satisfaction.
However, there were also a portion of World City’s subjects who looked at Zhou Zhou nervously.
They were the people who had just put in a good word for Zheng Huaiba.
They were afraid that this ferocious Lord would turn around and deal with them now that Zheng Huaiba was dead.
Then, they saw Zhou Zhou look at them.
“Let’s just let bygones be bygones.”
“Join Blazing Sun City and become my subject.”
“I can let bygones be bygones.”
He said calmly.
He understood that these people were probably bullied and coerced, so they said those heartless words.
They were all pitiful people.
Zhou Zhou naturally would not punish them.
“We are willing to join Blazing Sun City and become your most loyal subjects!”
They knelt down and said in fear.
The old man also pulled his grandson to his knees.
A line of text appeared in front of Zhou Zhou.
[18 refugees request to join your territory and become your subjects. Do you agree?]
After Zhou Zhou agreed, he let them get up first before checking their personal information.
12 of the 18 subjects were ordinary people.
Among the remaining six people, there was a Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade doctor, three Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade blacksmiths, a Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade chef, and a Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade architect.
Zhou Zhou was very satisfied after reading them.
They were all talents that his territory needed!
Now that he had more subjects under his command, his need for lifestyle professionals increased.
These six lifestyle professionals could slightly resolve his urgent needs.
Even though there were not many people…
But it was better than nothing.
And he realized something else.
That was, these people were especially loyal to him.
Most of them were above 70 points!
Especially the old man and the child.
Their loyalty to him was 95 points and 98 points!
Zhou Zhou roughly understood why their loyalty was so high.
Therefore, he did not say much.
After that, he dripped a drop of Golden Corpse Water on Lord Mighty’s corpse and asked Bai Yi and the others to bring it back to the territory later.
He was still recording, therefore, he could not extract the loot from Lord Mighty’s body for the time being.
Then, Zhou Zhou led everyone into World City.
Bai Yi and the others quickly found the resource storage point of World City being led by these subjects.
They obtained a total of 500 units of wood, 400 units of stone, 200 units of metal, and 350 units of fine sand.
There were also 22 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores.
There were also more than 20 units of Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Black-tailed Fog Scorpion meat.
The loots were pitifully small.
It was far inferior to the gains he had obtained in the territory of the Scarlet Lord.
Zhou Zhou had expected this.
How could a human Lord’s territory that had only developed for five days compare to the Scarlet Lord that had developed for an unknown period of time?
“My Lord.”
“I know that the person who just died built a residence as his harem.”
“The three girls they tortured to death…”
“Should be inside.”
A wretched-looking young man walked over and said respectfully.
Zhou Zhou took a look.
He realized that he was the only Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade architect here.
The other party seemed to have seen through the meaning in Zhou Zhou’s eyes and immediately knelt on the ground in fear.
“My Lord, please spare me!”
“Even though I’m the architect who built the residences…”
“But I really didn’t know they would use it in this way!”
“If I knew they would use it this way, I wouldn’t have built it for him even if I died!”
Zhou Zhou shook his head. “I told you. The past is in the past. And the other subjects didn’t accuse you of anything bad. I’m sure you had to build it for them because you had no choice.”
“My Lord is wise!” The Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade architect was stunned for a moment before he was so touched that he cried.
Zhou Zhou was speechless.
Then, he asked him to bring him to the so-called “harem”. After arriving, Zhou Zhou realized that this place was actually locked.
Fortunately, the subject had a key. After opening the door, the stench of rotting corpses assaulted Zhou Zhou’s face, almost suffocating him.
He suppressed the stench of corpses and looked inside.
In the end, he saw the corpses of three women who were already filled with maggots.
This tragic scene stunned Zhou Zhou on the spot.
He only came back to his senses after some time. He got Bai Yi to come over to arrange for someone to clean up the three corpses and bury them properly.
He would tell the grandfather and grandson after the burial.
Bai Yi received the order and left.
After that, Zhou Zhou brought five Sword Shield Soldiers to the lord’s wooden house. After carefully searching this place and discovering that there was no loot, he placed his gaze on the Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Territory Stone Tablet.
He got the five Sword Shield Soldiers to start slashing at this territory stone tablet.
A moment later.
The territory tablet was shattered.
A Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Territory Token appeared in front of him.
Zhou Zhou placed his hand on it.
A text notification appeared.
[Receive the Territory Token?]
“Yes.”
Zhou Zhou said.
The next second.
Click.
The Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Territory Token immediately fell into his hands.
“It’s the third Black Iron-Tier Territory Token.”
“I can upgrade my territory when I get back.”
He looked at the Territory Token and smiled.
Zhou Zhou had a faint premonition.
His territory would probably change greatly from Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade to Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade.
After confirming that there was no other loot to take away from this territory, Zhou Zhou led everyone back to Blazing Sun City.
Not long after they set off.
Zhou Zhou saw the little boy jogging to his side, ignoring his grandfather’s objection.
He looked up at Zhou Zhou, his eyes flickering with an unprecedented light.
“Big Brother, are you a hero?”
“My grandfather said that heroes are existences that stand up to save people when they are in the most danger, afraid, and in need of help.”
“Big Brother, you must be a hero, right?”
He asked expectantly.
Ever since his sister disappeared…
His grandfather and him had been living in darkness.
At this moment, in their hearts…
The new Lord who had saved his grandfather and him was the hero in his grandfather’s stories!
Zhou Zhou shook his head and laughed. “I’m not.”
“I don’t believe you!” The boy shook his head.
“I’m just an ordinary person who wants to work hard to live and protect those subjects who entrusted their future to me.” Zhou Zhou said.
The boy blinked.
Half an hour later.
Blazing Sun City.
Zhou Zhou asked the kitchen to prepare food and let these new subjects fill their stomachs after returning.
He could tell that these people had been hungry for a long time.
Then, he returned to the lord’s wooden house and first extracted the loot from Zheng Huaiba’s corpse.
The loots were not of much value…
Except for the most important six Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments.
Zhou Zhou took out the six new Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal fragments and the eight Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal fragments he had obtained from the Black-tailed Fog Scorpion leader previously.
He put them all together.
A hazy black iron light appeared.
At the same time.
A line of golden words also appeared.
[10 Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments are discovered. Do you want to fuse them into a Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Origin Divine Crystal?]
“Yes!”
Zhou Zhou was filled with anticipation.
The next second.
A black iron light flashed.
A thumb-sized hexagonal black iron crystal appeared in front of him.
It was surrounded by a black iron light belt that was like a ring of stars.
It looked quite magical.
Beside him were the remaining four Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal fragments.
Zhou Zhou picked up the hexagonal black iron crystal.
A text notification appeared.
[Treasure Name: Lord Talent Origin Divine Crystal]
[Treasure Grade: Black Iron-Tier]
[Treasure Effect One: After absorbing it, the Lord will randomly awaken a Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent!]
[Treasure Effect Two: Talent Advancement – Since this Lord’s Talent Origin Divine Crystal is Black Iron-Tier Grade, it can’t advance the other Lord Talents!]
[Treasure Description: A Law Treasure condensed from the Supreme Will. You will obtain a random Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent after using it.]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
“Yes!”
Zhou Zhou immediately said.
The next second.
This Lord Talent Origin Divine Crystal immediately turned into countless black iron light spots and quickly entered into his glabella.
He subconsciously closed his eyes.
A moment later.
Zhou Zhou opened his eyes.
The Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Origin Divine Crystal in his hand had completely disappeared.
Zhou Zhou’s face lit up.
This was because he vaguely felt that he had grasped an extraordinary ability.
He immediately opened the Lord’s personal information.
His Lord Talent column had already been updated again!
[Lord Talent: 100% Drop Rate (Legendary-Tier), Gnome Alchemy Workshop (Green Bronze-Tier), Monster Ranch (White Silver-Tier), Incite Defection (Black Iron-Tier)]
“Incite Defection?”
Zhou Zhou studied this Lord Talent.
