The Crystal Palace Plan of the Sinner Lord

He ordered some goblins to garrison Stone Sword Village and build fortifications - shabby mud walls that could barely block some attacks, and traps throughout the perimeter of the village.

These goblins are quite professional at digging traps.

This was due to the fact that when he became a pioneer noble, he specifically selected a group of goblins who were good at digging traps, rather than those seed players who looked a little stronger and had a chance of becoming goblin warriors.

After arranging all these, Caesar returned to Sunset Forest with his harvest, where he would wait for the arrival of the Lion Demon from Hot Wind Highlands.

"I don't know what the fiancée of the lion demon noble is like..."

On the way back, Caesar looked back at Shijian Village, which had turned into a small black dot, and muttered to himself.

If his fiancée was also a lion demon, then he would have no appetite at all.

But what if the system gives out rewards?

It is a cruel refusal to follow one's own system.

Or are you charging forward with tears in order to get the system's reward?

Caesar felt that he had to meet his fiancée first.

……

On the hill outside Shijian Village.

A small caravan gradually emerged from the road.

The merchant Boulder brought two carts of specialties from the town of Bolna - some daily necessities, fruits, basic recovery potions and some standard equipment produced by the blacksmiths of Bolna Town, and prepared to sell them in Shijian Village. There is an Adventurer's Guild in Shijian Village, which is full of novice adventurers. These things are still very attractive as supplementary supplies.

To ensure safety, Boulder also hired a 10-man mercenary group.

The boss of the mercenary group is nicknamed Hawkeye, not because he has good eyesight, but because he has tamed a magic eagle. This magic eagle can help him gather intelligence, and it is said that Hawkeye can also communicate with his magic eagle through telepathy.

As to whether it was true or not, Boulder had no idea.

In his eyes, Hawkeye was a taciturn weirdo who wandered around with his bird every day.

"Mr. Boulder, I'm afraid we can't go any further."

Hawkeye fed a piece of dried meat to the magic eagle that had just returned. They seemed to have a silent communication, and then Hawkeye's expression became solemn.

"Why, aren't we already at the entrance of Shijian Village?"

Boulder looked at Hawkeye in confusion.

Shijian Village looked nothing special at dusk.

It just seems a little too quiet than usual.

"My eagle saw a monster in Stone Sword Village."

"Monster?"

"Yes, a group of goblins. No other villagers were seen. It is obvious that Stone Sword Village has been breached by monsters. Even if we go to Stone Sword Village, no one will buy your goods. We can only return the same way and report the situation of Stone Sword Village to the Guild and Knights of Bona Town."

"How could this Stone Sword Village be breached by monsters?" Boulder couldn't believe it. "I heard that there is a small knight group near Stone Sword Village. Although they are training with knights and squires, they should have no problem stopping low-level monsters like goblins, right?"

"That's not clear." Hawkeye spread his hands.

Boulder looked at Stone Sword Village again.

The clouds were very low and it seemed like it was going to rain. In the dim light, the entire Shijian Village looked like a crouching beast. Not a single light was on in the quiet village.

This time he felt that the silence in Shijian Village was a little too strange.

And he wouldn't doubt Hawkeye's words.

Hawkeye's abilities are well known throughout the town of Bonnar.

There is a saying that goes, you may not trust the knight's sharp sword, but you must trust the intelligence of the eagle eye.

"Okay, let's go back." Boulder sighed.

He didn't care about the fate of Shijian Village.

After all, people are dying everywhere in this world.

What worried him was that the cost of hiring Hawkeye was not low, and what he should do with this batch of goods.

Blackrock Village definitely won’t work, there aren’t many adventurers there.

We can only try our luck in the village of Kiel, north of the town of Bonnar.

Although there is an Adventurer's Guild there, it is also very close to Black Tower City, so the competition between merchants is naturally greater.

"These damn monsters!" Boulder took a last look in the direction of Shijian Village and returned with the caravan indignantly. He would definitely report the matter of Shijian Village. If it weren't for these damn monsters, he wouldn't have to worry about these goods rotting in his hands!

……

It was already evening when Caesar returned to the lair.

Sophia's conquest level had reached 100 before, so Caesar did not restrict her actions.

Diana and Cesenae were still very rebellious, so Caesar locked them in the deepest part of the lair, each with an iron chain. As for the remaining villagers and adventurers, they were divided equally between the Goblin Tribe and the Troll Tribe.

Goblins need female animals to reproduce, but troll tribes do not.

Most of the female villagers were assigned to the goblins.

It is worth mentioning that the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild was kept in solitary confinement by Caesar. He required the goblins not to violate the lady, but every time the seedbed was used, the lady must be present to watch.

This receptionist is still useful and is specifically used to influence Diana.

"Let me taste your cooking."

Caesar handed a bunch of food to Sophia, many of which were from Shijian Village, and some were wild game caught on the way.

The beautiful woman did not resist, but just shrank her body and her pretty face turned red.

She subconsciously glanced in Mia's direction, lowered her eyebrows and pleaded:

"Sir, Mia is still here..."

"What does that little brat know?" Caesar said with disdain.

Sophia could only sigh helplessly.

……

While Sophia was cooking, Diana and Cecilia were sitting in a corner deep in the cave.

The warrior lady looked at the Star-Moon Elf beside her and was filled with confusion.

It is said that the Star-Moon Elves are powerful warriors and spellcasters. A mere chain should not be able to control her, right?

Is she willing to become the devil's slave?

This is totally inconsistent with the pride and self-esteem of a Star-Moon Elf.

"Hey!" Diana shouted.

But the elf acted as if he hadn't heard it and continued studying the patterns on the rocks on the ground.

"Hua La—" Diana shook the chain, making a crisp noise, and shouted again: "Hey, elf, can you understand the common language of the continent?"

Cecilia looked up at Diana with cold eyes and said nothing.

"If the two of us work together, we have a chance to escape. You should be able to use magic and combat skills. If we operate properly, we can even try to counterattack. I am a silver adventurer. I have rich combat experience. You can trust me!"

Diana took out the silver badge issued by the Adventurer's Guild on her chest and showed it to Cesina.

Still, the elf said nothing.

Diana frowned.

Could it be that this elf cannot understand the common language of the continent?

Then this elf can be said to be a complete poor student and illiterate among the Star and Moon elves.

Just when she had this thought.

She saw Miss Elf stand up and shout to the outside.

"Caesar, this female human wants to escape, and she is plotting to join forces with me to kill you. I will report her now, and then help you kill her. Can you send a batch of herbs back to my tribe?"

Diana stood there with her mouth open.

She thought about a lot of things, including the Star-Moon Elves' hatred for humans, the fact that the elves couldn't understand the common language of the continent, and whether this elf had been controlled by Caesar. But she never thought that the elf would report her!

And he regarded her as a stepping stone to save the tribe!

Couldn't this elf escape and go back to save his tribe?

Caesar was originally admiring Sophia's graceful back as she cooked, with Irene and Shana accompanying him on his left and right. When he heard Cersinati's shout, he couldn't help but show a strange expression.

My goodness, is this considered an internal conflict?

"Do you really want to kill me?" Caesar glanced at Diana coldly, turned around and greeted the goblin outside the cave in Orcish. The goblin left happily and came back soon with a companion from Diana's previous team.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Diana was startled, and a bad premonition emerged in her heart.

"What am I doing? Hehehe."

Caesar grinned and picked up the human casually.

Before the adventurer could react, the Axe of Destruction was already raised high, and with one blow of the axe, the man's head fell to the ground, and blood splattered on the wall.

The faces of all the women in the cave turned pale instantly.

The strong smell of blood made people dizzy.

"Uh... Uh..." Diana stared blankly at the head that rolled to her feet and made a faint gurgling sound in her throat, as if something was stuck.

She was stunned for a long time, tears welling up in her eyes.

Then he suddenly rushed towards Caesar like a madman.

"Damn monster! You will die a horrible death!"

The chains bound her body like a wild dog, and she fell to the ground suddenly when the chains pulled her.

"I will definitely not die a good death. Maybe one day I will die in the war between demons and humans, but you don't need to worry about that." Caesar walked up to Diana with an axe and stomped on the head on the ground, leaving Diana's face covered with red and white blood.

"If you ever have any weird thoughts about running away again, I guarantee that not only will you not be able to escape, but all your former companions will be killed because of you!"

Diana looked up at the demon.

The pair of bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.

She clenched and unclenched her hands, unclenched and clenched them again.

Finally, he lowered his head, said nothing, and made no other move.

Diana knew that the demon in front of her was definitely not joking.

[Diana's conquest degree +8, currently 60, congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Peak Group Will]

[Next stage reward conquest degree 100: random defensive building x1 (can be directly expanded)]

Chapter 68: Demon-made, top elemental affinity

The so-called degree of conquest, as the name suggests, is the degree to which people submit.

Operations such as coercion, persuasion, coaxing, a big stick and a sweet date, etc. will increase the degree of conquest.

The speed at which the conquest degree increases is related to personal character, experience and personal environment. For a weak wife like Sophia, who has given up on Pax and has a daughter to worry about, the conquest degree can be maxed out so quickly.

Unlike Diana, who is stubborn, proud and unruly.

If her companions in the adventuring team and her sister who worked in the Adventurer's Guild had not been captured, Caesar really wouldn't have known how to make this wild horse surrender.

But what is this [Hive Will]?

Wouldn't that give him the ability to summon a swarm of bees?

To be honest, it's a bit useless. After all, the bee swarm is only a bit threatening to first-level professionals.

Fortunately, the system did not play dumb about this ability and gave a detailed explanation.

[Hive Will] Queen Bee pheromones can inhibit worker bees from breeding new queens, attract worker bees to guard the queen, and transform worker bees into other types of bees. After obtaining the Hive Will, the host will be able to designate a subordinate to evolve to a higher form. Evolution requires consumption of pheromones, which are gradually accumulated by the entire colony over time.

Currently possessed pheromones:

[Goblin pheromone: 0.23]
