Other ogres used massive stones to build hydraulic forging facilities, or rode creatures resembling earth drakes to transport goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vast stretches of land outside the city were not planted with grain, but cultivated with thick, constantly writhing dark red “flesh moss”—the ogres’ primary food source. Ogre farmers harvested the moss with enormous cleavers, and the cut portions regrew within days. The scene was unsettling, yet extremely efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verna saw domesticated, slow-moving giant salamanders, driven by ogres, laboring to till the soil. Within the estate, various glowing or spiky strange plants grew—clearly used as ingredients for potions enhancing regeneration or healing non-magical fire\u002Facid injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, what do you think of this land?” Gruno’s voice suddenly sounded beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s astonishing. In my homeland, ogres are symbols of savagery and chaotic disorder. Here, I must revise my views.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, you’re right. Not just ogres, but orcs and hyenas—symbols of chaos and disorder—in a multiverse dominated by humans and orcs, they can barely survive in remote, inhospitable lands. But given enough time in certain regions, they too can build glorious civilizations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard of many subhuman-dominated planes, but they all share one trait: some power supports them or intervenes directly. Is that the case here too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not entirely. Six thousand years ago, the entire multiverse was still the elves’ private domain. Our first ancestor, Gromaga the Great Skull, fought alongside the Night Elves against the Abyss. After completely purging this plane, since it was unsuitable for farming and the high-value mineral deposits had been exhausted, the elves simply left it to our ogre people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the elves’ influence, we gradually built our own civilization. Once, Kadilak had five and a half demigods, but all perished one by one on various battlefields—only Galmok remains now. In our war against Luo Sen, we exhausted all our strength. The residents you see here are all newborns after the war.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Under immense pressure, we were forced to ally with the Dofeng Republic, though those humans are not trustworthy. With Luo De’s help, we eventually drove out Luo Sen’s invaders, though we paid the price of five Regeneration Cores.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So now there’s only one demigod left here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, there’s still a Night Elf high priestess. When the elves began retreating their rule, they came here, hoping we would serve as their secluded barrier. To gain the Pantheon’s protection, we agreed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must know Night Elves worship Lady Xian An Shan, the Moon Goddess, who is also a member of the Pantheon. Kadilak cannot stand alone against demonic or Abyssal infiltration, and we refuse to abandon our worship of Ugos Lam. So inviting the Night Elves—who prefer to dwell in darkness—became the ogres’ best choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the entire plane has only these two intelligent species, correct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not quite. There are also many Catfolk who came with the Night Elves, but they have no fixed tribes—they operate as individuals, active in every corner they can reach. You might even spot one walking down a back alley in Rugo City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s interesting. I think Duke Sakavi would enjoy such shadow-dwelling creatures. But I’m here today for something more important.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re such a diligent subordinate. This trade is vital to us. I hope we can complete the handover within a year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So urgent? Relocating populations is inherently complex and slow, and this place isn’t close to Kadilak. Moving too fast will cause chaos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t wait. Humans always despise subhumans. We must complete the relocation before the Dofeng Republic finds out. We plan to establish a temporary teleportation gateway, so we need you to move quickly. If you need help, say so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pig-man capital of Bloodaxe City on the Kadilak plane, a group of pig-men were loudly arguing. On the throne, the black dragon slept with closed eyes. A human hurried in and whispered something to the dragon, who slowly opened his eyes, nodded to the human, then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. The Jiruo Forest and Mondo Great Plain are ours. You may take the remaining lands. This is our final offer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, you must know the value of Mondo Plain—the richest land. We won’t surrender it. Take anything else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? Then you refuse to negotiate properly, Governor Gosh. Go prepare. Duke Sakavi is already on his way. You may leave now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’ll relinquish the Luozi River Basin, I agree…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gosh, you’re testing my patience. I won’t repeat myself. Unless you want to fight here—I’ll grant your wish.” With a sweep of her claw, eight Dragonbeast mages swiftly surrounded him. Far off, Su Lai De had already nocked an arrow, aimed at the pig-man governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. I accept your proposal—but I need a contract issued by the Church of Justice to ensure you won’t renege. That’s not too much to ask, is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a milky-white parchment spontaneously ignited, the pig-men all bowed their heads and left the chamber. Watching the scene, Klausuna finally exhaled. If a battle had broken out here, she truly wouldn’t have stood a chance against two legendary-tier opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandma Virensa, your lizardmen must now lend their strength. I need a simple teleportation gate built at the forest’s edge. I’ll supply the technology and materials; you provide the lizardmen labor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve told you a hundred times—don’t call me Grandma! Can’t you remember? Or are you deaf?” Virensa said, visibly angry, yet helplessly resigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! Who told you I’m full of mischief? I came all this way to help you, and you spread rumors and insult me? Black dragons hold grudges.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve raided from Jiruo Forest all the way here—even overturned the den of a Earthbreaker Bear. Anything that glows, you steal. Am I lying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not stealing from your home is already me showing conscience. What more do you want? If you keep talking, I’ll steal your whole house too. Besides, you’ve lived seven hundred years. A normal Thorn Deer lives only six hundred. If you can’t break through to legendary, you won’t live past eight hundred. What else should I call you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven months later, on a clearing at the forest’s edge, the light grew unnatural. Sunlight passing through the area bent slightly, like heat haze on a summer road—but colder, sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air there continuously, rhythmically rippled, as if a vast, transparent curtain fluttered in the wind. Even without wind, the air seemed to “breathe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not a perfect ellipse; its edges were wildly irregular, like shattered glass struck by a heavy blow, covered in jagged cracks. The entire portal trembled faintly, and tiny, crackling energy sparks occasionally burst from the fissures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air reeked of ozone (like after a thunderstorm), mixed with the burnt-metal scent of overheated metal, and a faint, alien damp-earth odor from another plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the portal, the other side’s scenery was visible—but everything appeared distorted and blurred, as if viewed through rippling water or rising heat. Sometimes, the forest’s image vanished entirely, replaced by streaking starlight or indescribable color vortices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the plants around the portal, twisted and mutated by chaotic energy, Verna reinforced the energy anchors as she spoke: “Klausuna, your portal is crude. You drew a magic circle with charred sticks and colored stones, stuck in a few poles, and called it a portal. Aren’t you afraid the space might collapse mid-transit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Afraid of what? I don’t use it. If it fails, the ogres lose. Why should I care? I’m short on hands—just getting it working is enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just came through it! You told me it was safe on your side. Is this safe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, you’re still alive, aren’t you? And even if you lost an arm or leg, we’ve got the Regeneration Furnace!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing reason wouldn’t work, Verna led the ogre priests to rebuild the array using engraved black stones, replacing the crude ground markings made of charred wood, colored pebbles, and beast blood. She replaced the original white waxwood pillars stabilizing the portal with basalt columns carved with special arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The re-stabilized portal now appeared far steadier. A gentle, steady breeze, carrying the scent of alien flora, blew from within, causing vines on the basalt columns to visibly grow and wither in rapid succession, and stirring the grass at the forest’s edge into a spreading ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teleportation gate capable of transporting hundreds of thousands isn’t as simple as it looks. Beneath it lie six energy cores, sealed in oak boxes and refined by special devices, connected to a vast array covering the entire area. Every step required beast blood to trace the runes; some critical symbols even demanded dragon blood mixed with alchemical solutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Salu Greenfist greets you, Lady Verna. I’ll oversee the subsequent handover. Thank you for your aid.” A deep, gravelly voice echoed as a tall, hunched ogre stepped through the portal. He was older and more withered than his kin, but his eyes burned with wisdom and fanaticism. His back was covered in fungi and moss, like a living swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klausuna lazily said, “Sign here, then take this map. The green zones are yours. Don’t touch anything else—especially that swamp. Not for at least fifty years, per the agreement.” She produced a Church of Justice contract and a fresh ivory-colored parchment map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ogre shaman carefully read the contract, Su Lai De approached holding something. Klausuna asked curiously, “Su Lai De, what delicious thing did you bring? Let me taste it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lai De shook the object, grinning. “Something you’d never expect. Open wide—don’t look, or you won’t be able to eat it. Ha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crystal-shelled scorpion was tossed over—half its body mechanically augmented. Klausuna suddenly realized: the other side was no longer Kadilak. The portal’s unstable magical fluctuations had linked to an unknown plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Lai De, interested in going over to take a look? Maybe bring back a few pets. As for Klausuna, she should stay here and thoroughly inspect her array—see if she dares make such unstable portals again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Verna stepped through the portal. Su Lai De and the eight Dragonbeasts followed one after another. To expedite the relocation, Salu had no choice but to stay with Klausuna and recheck the array’s runes and patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>",1712,"2026-06-20T13:10:04.638Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e930cfd206478079ed38044862b2d42f46ae1a7dbb384316df01060fc5d23397","black-dragon-necromancer-chapter-48","black-dragon-necromancer-chapter-46",145,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-dragon-necromancer-cover.jpg"]
