Final Lord

Chapter 106 Underground Warehouse
Old Gru, like himself, is a player on the lord route. He needs to lead the development of the territory and then use the developed territory to feed back himself.

Lincoln is a route of personal strength, and the territory is a tool for making money. Once it is squeezed dry, it is squeezed dry.

These extra resources were most likely Lincoln's money plundered from the people.

The king refused to accept the decision and closed the resource panel. He had no intention of returning the resources to his subjects.

If we really want to pay it back, we have to first figure out how much each person was robbed. This is definitely a messy debt that cannot be settled.

No hindrance, take from the people and use it for the people.

With the path of a wise king in his heart, the king is not at all worried that his people will have to live a hard life with him in the future if he is dissatisfied.

After closing the territory panel, Wang Bufu called Blind Cat and Wei Yi over and asked them to accompany him to investigate the basement of the lord's mansion.

As soon as they opened the basement door, a foul odor hit them in the face.

The blind cat used a whirlwind magic to disperse the smell, and only then did they dare to go in.

Wang Bufu's boot heels rolled over the liquid seeping from the cracks in the stone steps, and every step made a sticky sound on the bluestone slabs.

Lincoln transformed the bronze door of the basement into a twisted crow head relief. The mucus dripping from the bird's beak formed a dark green puddle on the ground, emitting a unique fishy smell of acid.

"My lord, be careful." Blind Cat's staff was suddenly placed across Wang Bufu's chest. A ray of magical light emerged from his staff, making an illusory blood line appear around him.

"There's a magic trap!"

"Can it be lifted?"

"My lord, I'm not very skilled," Blind Cat said a little embarrassedly, "but I can tell this is a chain-triggered magic trap. The trap itself is harmless, but touching it will trigger other traps."

"That's easy, I'll try."

Wei Yi's invisible white feather sword slid through the crack of the door, its blade vibrating and humming. When the tip of the white feather sword touched the blood thread, she suddenly spun around and slashed out a half-moon arc of light to the side.

Whoosh! boom!
Thirteen bronze crossbow arrows soaked in acid broke in mid-air, and the arrow shafts fell into the foam stirred up by the acid pool.

"Lincoln is disgusting even when he dies." Blind Cat cursed.

"Lincoln didn't even design defenses for the lord's room in the castle, but there are defenses here. Sure enough, this place is very important to Lincoln." Wang refused to accept the rational analysis.

After the trap was lifted, the blind cat walked to the bronze door of the basement.

"Ice Thunderbolt!"

The blind cat cast an ice magic at the bronze door.

The icy lightning struck the bronze door but failed to destroy it. However, a magic circle pattern appeared on the surface of the frozen bronze door.

Blind Cat studied it for a while, then inserted his staff into the ice layer, and the magic power gushing out from the end of the staff accurately broke the node.

Boom!

The bronze door burst open.

Wei Yi raised her sword in one hand and a torch in the other, and slowly walked into the basement.

In the light of the fire, rattan cages were neatly arranged in the basement. Many of them were empty, while some contained sleeping villagers.

The blind cat's nose twitched, and he said warily, "My Lord, there's a magical aura. These vine cages are enchanted. Don't approach them lightly."

Wang Bufu looked at one of the vine cages, in which a sleeping girl was imprisoned.

Nightmare Cage

...]

The king raised an eyebrow in disbelief. With Lincoln dead, these nightmare cages became Gru Territory's property.

The fire of Gru Territory is in my hands. I am the master of Gru Territory, so I am the master of these nightmare cages. I can directly find out the function of these nightmare cages through system identification, and I can directly control them!
Hey, it's really convenient. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time just to figure out the function of these vine cages.

A faint blue glow appeared on Wang Bufu's fingertips. When his palm hovered above the vine cage, the twisted branches suddenly twitched like a spasm, and dark purple mucus oozed out from the gaps between the branches, emitting a stench mixed with rotten meat and rust.

"Release." Wang Bufu gave the order, and suddenly a gurgling sound like organs wriggling came from inside the vine cage, and the sixteen main branches curled in the opposite direction like octopus tentacles.

The unconscious girl was wrapped in mucus and squeezed out from the core. The translucent gelatinous substance condensed into a spider web at the ends of her hair, and broke into countless mucus beads with a plop as she fell to the ground.

The blind cat looked at Wang Buzhi in shock, and cursed a thousand times in his mind.

No, wait, I don't sense any magic. How did the cage open?
Could it be that the Lord's commander can even command this thing? Huh?! I'm not even pretending!

Wang Bufu unbuttoned the silver buttons of his cloak, squatted down and gently wiped the mucus off the surface of the girl.

The thick fabric brushed against the girl's arm, and the mucus immediately corroded tiny holes in the cloak.

Wang Bufu frowned and used the uncontaminated cashmere side to wipe it gently. The light golden fluff stuck to the girl's slightly ulcerated skin, like a layer of moldy gold powder sprinkled on the wound.

When Wang Bufu's cloak brushed against the mucus clot on the girl's collarbone, the unconscious girl suddenly twitched, and the semi-solidified purple-black substance slowly extended its mycelium-like tentacles and tried to drill into her throat.

"Be careful!" Wei Yi used the tip of the scabbard to pick up the corrosive mucus, and the mucus hit the wall with a popping sound.

The blind cat shuddered. "Why does this look like Lincoln's body?"

Wang Bufu's eyes were solemn. "It does smell like chaos. There are so many of these nightmare cages. They must be treasures that can be mass-produced. However, the production method of these treasures is probably not very formal."

The sound of their conversation woke the sleeping girl. The boy suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils dilated into reptilian vertical lines, and then quickly returned to their original shape.

Her cracked lips trembled, and a hissing sound like sandpaper rubbing against each other came out of her throat: "Mud... giant snake! Giant snakes lay eggs in the mud..."

"Are you awake?" Wang Bufu hurriedly helped the girl up. But the girl seemed to be oblivious to Wang Bufu and just kept mumbling to herself.

"A giant snake slithers through the void, each scale a corrupted sludge, with protrusions shaped like a baby's hand seeping out from the sludge."

"The goat gnaws the moon, its hooves..."

The girl suddenly scratched her calf, leaving bloody marks on her skin.

“Where the sheep’s hooves stepped… the grass turned into eyeballs.

No, don’t come over here!” The girl struggled frantically in Wang Bufu’s arms, scratching everywhere with her nails.

The king was dissatisfied and immediately let go, letting the girl fall to the ground.

With a thud, the girl's head hit the ground and she fainted again.
