I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 992 - 992 993 Death Knight_1

Chapter 992: Chapter 993: Death Knight_1 Chapter 992: Chapter 993: Death Knight_1 Tuya glanced at Song Jian, seemingly noticing his overly enthusiastic gaze, and couldn’t help but show an awkward smile as he softly said, “Lord, this is a scroll that only Earth Mages can learn, and it requires advanced wisdom magic and a high degree of mastery in Earth Magic to learn…”

Song Jian also realized that there seemed to be something off about his gaze and couldn’t help but cough twice before saying, “It’s nothing, I just haven’t seen this kind of scroll before, and I was curious. Tuya, may I take a look at that scroll?”

Tuya’s face showed a difficult expression; this was a god-tier scroll he had long dreamed about. Once learned, he would become a powerful forbidden curse Mage.

However, soon Tuya handed the scroll to Song Jian. From any perspective, Song Jian was unlikely to master this forbidden spell. If it was just to satisfy the lord’s curiosity, Tuya thought there should be no problem at all.

What Tuya did not know was that Song Jian possessed a skill that could devour other abilities to level up. If he knew, he probably wouldn’t give up the scroll so easily.

Song Jian took the scroll and examined it carefully. It seemed to be made from the hide of some wild beast, and there was faintly a strong presence similar to Dragon Might emanating from it.

“Even if not from the Dragon Clan, the original owner of the hide used for this scroll must be an existence no weaker than a Giant Dragon…” Song Jian thought to himself.

On the surface of the scroll, many Dark Gold Magic Runes were depicted, and there was also a seal on it that would destroy the scroll in a short time once it was broken.

Song Jian didn’t intend to learn from the scroll but rather wanted to know if his Thousand Swords Art could level up by devouring it.

Indeed, after a short time, Song Jian received a system prompt that the Thousand Swords Art could level up by devouring it, which immediately excited him.

However, in the end, Song Jian still returned the scroll to Tuya. After all, he had already promised him and now going back on his word would be a hurdle he couldn’t overcome in his heart.

Moreover, if he could obtain one forbidden curse scroll, then he could get a second, a third,…

“Lord, it’s actually not too late for you to start learning magic now. You should know that human castles can build Magic Towers, and as long as you build the Magic Tower to the top level, there’s a chance to learn forbidden spells within it…” Tuya consoled Song Jian.

“Can you get forbidden spells from the Magic Tower?” Song Jian’s eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly.

“Yes, but it has to be built to the top level…” Seeing Song Jian’s eager gaze, Tuya quickly mentioned the drawbacks of obtaining forbidden curses by building a Magic Tower: “It requires a massive amount of resources, and even with a top-level Magic Tower, the forbidden spells that appear are random, and it is unlikely that it will be the exact one you specialize in…”

In the entire human kingdom continent, not even the mightiest Elasia kingdom had built a top-level Magic Tower. With Song Jian’s current power, building a top-level Magic Tower capable of producing forbidden spells was nothing short of a pipe dream.

However, at this moment, Tuya didn’t want to crush his lord’s spirit; he could only hope that Song Jian wouldn’t turn his anger on him after the disappointment.

“Even if there are no forbidden spells, the appearance of high-level magic would also be acceptable…” Song Jian thought to himself: “I’ll start building the Magic Tower as soon as I return.”

The human faction’s occupation of an Earth Elemental Shrine was like a small ripple, causing no waves among the Examinees of other factions. All the Examinees were rapidly enhancing their strength, and they all seemed to have an unspoken agreement that each would recruit no more than two heroes, delaying the start of the battle mode as long as possible because the longer it was delayed, the more advantageous it was for them.

In the Hell faction at this time, the Devil’s Castle had undergone a complete transformation, and their castle had already begun upgrading to a level three fortress. A large number of troop barracks were being constructed.

“Your Highness, in at most one day, our main city can be promoted to level 3, and we are also ready with the resources needed for upgrading to level 4. We can enhance it at any time,” said a demon examiner respectfully to Prince Sala, with goat horns growing on his head.

At this moment, Prince Sala appeared exceedingly proud. Although he was only the second examiner to occupy the main city, he believed that when it came to the development of the main city, he was absolutely the first among all factions.

By this time, the examiners of almost all factions had discovered the abandoned main cities of their own factions, but only four factions had actually succeeded in their conquest. The rest were accumulating military forces, preparing to seize a main city of their own.

“To what extent has the Undead faction developed now?” Prince Sala inquired.

In Prince Sala’s view, the Human faction was not worth fearing. After all, it was only one person and, however strong, one’s power was ultimately too small in the face of a massive army.

Only the Undead faction was a serious concern to Prince Sala. Their speed at gathering troops even surpassed that of the Hell faction, so Sala had designated an examiner, whose sole job was to do nothing but monitor the world announcements, collecting information about other factions, especially the Undead faction.

“The Undead faction’s castle has already started upgrading to level 2. They’ve also acquired quite a few resources and troop deployment points in the wilderness. They’ve taken over six pastures and eight iron mines,…” An examiner meticulously reported the information regarding the Undead faction.

“They are not developing slowly at all!” A relaxed smile appeared on Prince Sala’s face; the development of the Undead faction had not exceeded his expectations. Everything was under control.

“Your Highness, the Undead faction seems to have found a Death Knight’s barracks. They’ve already tried to seize it once and failed. It’s likely that their focus now is to take over that Death Knight’s barracks,” the examiner added cautiously after glancing at Prince Sala.

“What, a Death Knight?” Prince Sala was taken aback. Death Knights were level six troops that could only be recruited by constructing a recruiting barracks after upgrading the castle to level six.

At this point, nearly all factions had only level two or three troops. If the Undead managed to seize this wilderness barracks and continuously recruited troops, by the time the final battle came, they would have an army of level six troops. Then, perhaps no one could stand against them.

“Have everyone expand their search radius to find high-level wilderness recruitment points for the Hell faction!” Prince Sala’s expression was ashen; for the first time, he realized that things were moving in a direction beyond his control.

While all the factions were frantically searching for high-level wilderness troop recruitment points, Song Jian and Tuya had already returned to their own castle.

By now, all level one buildings in the castle were completed and the upgrading to level two had begun. Song Jian and Tuya appeared in front of a newly constructed tavern, where the rich aroma of wine and the buzzing of voices seeped through the wooden doors onto the street.

“It seems quite lively,” said Song Jian with a slight smile, pushing open the tavern doors and walking in.
