Chapter 550: Such Distinct Characteristics

~7 min read 1,279 words

In fact, it was exactly as Diana had thought.

After the tea party ended, Lan Qingyou returned to her shelter.

However, having just returned and having quite a lot of information from the tea party to digest, she decided to take a bath first.

As a result, after organizing her affairs and finishing her bath, she received the message from Diana.

It not only contained all the known intelligence about the Necromancer Race, but also about the Necromancer Clan Leader changing to seek an alliance after his request to become a vassal was rejected.

Regarding an alliance, it wasn't actually just the simple word 'alliance'.

But a series of related interactions between the two races.

From hunting down invaders to joint defense of the Forsaken Territory, from resource complementarity to academic research, these could all be cooperated on.

Of course, these were all just surface rhetoric.

This stipulation was the core of the entire alliance project.

And that was for the Forsaken Ones to assist the Witch Race in occupying the three areas surrounding the Forsaken Territory.

The benefit of doing this was that it could create a buffer zone for the Forsaken Territory.

If there were people who found the Forsaken Territory displeasing to the eye and wanted to attack this place, apart from teleportation arrays, there would only be two routes of attack: from land and sea.

Without a doubt, as the most important port in the entire Forsaken Territory now, fighting in from such a heavily protected sea surface was somewhat difficult, so the land route became the most likely path for the next attack.

Moreover, because the Forsaken Territory had now become the most important material transit station in the central and western regions, it also needed these three bridgeheads for escort.

So just in case, these three areas must be taken down.

Although the Witch Race didn't live in the Forsaken Territory anymore, who would mind having a bit more territory.

Besides, the resources in the three areas weren't few either.

Being able to have new development while ensuring their industries was a very beneficial thing for both the Witch Race and the Necromancer Race.

So after considering for a few minutes, Lan Qingyou sent a message of agreement.

Along with this message sent over was an instruction for Diana to notify Margaret to print some basic subject books to send to the Necromancer Race.

And conveniently, select some guys with a good foundation and unique ideas from the Necromancer Race to enter the Witch Academy to study.

Although the number of mutated people in the Necromancer Race wasn't many.

But now there were quite a few people in the midst of mutating, so the number definitely wouldn't be small later on.

So with such a large base number, it was extremely possible that some excellent talents would be born.

That was why Lan Qingyou asked Diana to do this.

As for the Necromancer Race side, although there was an element of worshipping witches involved, it was also because they knew the innate deficiencies of their evolution.

As the Clan Leader of the Necromancer Race, Gao Yi's suggestion to open up buffer zones was naturally for the sake of the Witch Race, but at the same time, it was also for the sake of the Necromancer Race.

After all, the current Necromancer Race belonged to neither transmigrators nor evolvers. Their awkward status left them with basically nowhere else that could accept them besides the Forsaken Territory.

So cooperation with the Witch Race became inevitable.

Originally, they had thought about lowering their posture a bit to become a vassal of the Witch Race, thereby letting the Witch Race accept them.

Yet who would have known that the other party would actually flatly refuse out of fear of trouble.

Alright.

Although he had long known that witches basically all had this disposition, Gao Yi still couldn't help but sigh.

Yet unexpectedly, failing to become a vassal, they actually became an ally because of the alternative plan he made up on the fly.

This made him feel somewhat surprised.

This surprise wasn't that he was surprised the other party was willing to let their high-and-not-low race become an ally.

But he was surprised that the Tower Witch would actually ally with them because of the suggestion for strategic buffer zones.

However, looking at it this way, it seemed this was really the case.

After all, it was to protect their own industries, and they, the Forsaken Ones, also needed territory as a habitat.

Of course.

Because it was an alliance and an assistive relationship, the Forsaken Ones would live in mixed communities with subsequent transmigrators, witches, and people of other races.

But it didn't matter.

Having someone take them in was good enough.

Although under Shang Chuan's management, it wasn't like they couldn't live in the current Forsaken Territory.

It was just that in Gao Yi's subconscious, since they were a new race born from the hands of the witches, it was naturally a matter of course to defect to the other party and become part of the Witch Race's faction.

And this feeling wasn't just his; some other fully 'awakened' Necromancers felt the same.

That was why they sought out Shang Chuan to pass a message this time.

Thus.

After receiving an affirmative reply from the Witch Race's side, Gao Yi found a few Necromancer clansmen who had awakened slightly later than him to discuss how to occupy the surrounding three areas.

Although the treaty said assistance, the actual main force would be the Necromancer Race themselves.

Moreover, as newly awakened ones, they also needed such a venue to familiarize themselves with their skills and display themselves.

Now the world was full of you hitting me and me hitting you in mutual attacks everywhere.

If they didn't take advantage of the current world chaos to expand, they would only be blocked at their doorsteps later.

And while Gao Yi was finding people to discuss, Lan Qingyou's side also entered into research.

As time passed, her research also gradually hit its stride.

Just like its name, the Gut-Source Toxin Strain was a substance extracted from the body of the ancient monster 'Jörmungandr'.

After combining various poisonous herbs and potions, this potion, the Gut-Source Toxin Strain, was crafted.

To be honest.

If one solely looked at this toxin strain itself, it could even be considered a pretty good Evolution Item.

Although the appraisal didn't say what race it would evolve into, it was undeniable that whether in structure or efficacy, this thing was actually about the same as the Witch Potion.

Even to verify the correctness of her research, Lan Qingyou borrowed Evolution Items of many races from the Manor to conduct comparative research.

The result was exactly as she had guessed.

The structures of other Evolution Items, apart from slight differences, were largely identical.

It could be said that what race one would become after using an Evolution Item was entirely determined by those slight differences.

From this point, it could be proven that the Gut-Source Toxin Strain really was an Evolution Item.

It was just that someone like Isabel belonged to stacking evolution on top of evolution, which led to the bitter fruits of that kind of evolution.

However, in Lan Qingyou's eyes, Evolution Items were no big deal.

What was truly formidable was whether it could deceive the appraisal.

Really...

Whether it was the scammer from before who scammed people under the guise of the Witch Race, or this item that could deceive the small screen's appraisal, their characteristics were all so distinct.

Nowadays, it's really easy to get scammed no matter what you do.
