However, this method of directly summoning the undead from a different location had a fatal flaw-time.
These undead creatures summoned from other planes could only exist for a limited time on the ark continent. This time limit was related to the summoner’s own ability and the level of the summoned dark creatures.
In theory, the higher a Summoner’s level was, the stronger his magic power would be, and the longer his summoned creatures could stay on the ark continent. The higher the level of a dark creature, the shorter the time it could stay on the ark continent.
Of course, there were exceptions. If you summoned a powerful dark creature, as long as you were willing to sacrifice some HP, you could let the dark creature live on the ark continent for a long time. However, no Summoner would do this. The higher the level of the dark creature, the more HP it required. If you wanted to let a demon stay on the ark continent for a long time, you would probably die immediately. In addition, mages usually spent a long time on the ark. The more they were like this, the more they felt that time was precious. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they would not use such a method to let the undead creatures from other planes stay on the ark continent for a long time.
There was another way for the dark Summoners to create undead creatures on the ark continent, just like the one used by the immortal mercenary group.
Every Summoner could create a summoning space that could store nothing but summoned beasts. As long as the summoner turned the people or magical beasts they killed into undead creatures, they could put them in the summoning space. However, the undead creatures created in this way would have their levels reduced a lot and could not level up for life.
It was because of this that the people watching Zhao Hai and his group were shocked. It was obvious that the alien was not summoned from another dimension. If it was summoned from another dimension, it would have disappeared long ago.
However, looking at the combat power of the alien, they could judge that the alien was at least a level 5 warrior. If such a magical beast was man-made, then what level was it before it was killed? Everyone was a little confused.
Under normal circumstances, a mage could only create low-level undead creatures. If they wanted to create high-level undead creatures, they would have to pay with their own life force. The combat power of low-level undead creatures could not exceed that of a grade-4 warrior. Could this green undead creature be a high-level undead creature created by the Black Mage? Did he not want to live anymore?
Of course, Zhao Hai’s group knew what would happen if others saw them releasing the aliens, but they didn’t care. In the future, Zhao Hai would release more undead creatures when he fought others. The undead creatures ‘levels weren’t much lower than the aliens, so it would be impossible to hide them. It was better to let them know earlier.
There were only a few places on the continent of the great Ark that could produce undead creatures. The places that could produce undead creatures were all famous for being dangerous places on the continent, such as the rotten corpse swamp and the demonic abyss. These two places were one of the five most dangerous places on the continent. In the past 100 years, no one had been heard of coming out of these two places alive. In the past 1000 years, even those who came out of these two places alive had not been able to live for more than five years in good health.
It was for this reason that the rotten corpse swamp and the devil’s abyss had become truly forbidden places. No adventurer went there because no one wanted to die.
It was for this reason that there were very few dark Summoners who used the undead creatures native to the ark continent as Summoners. People had already forgotten the existence of such summoned creatures.
There was a reason why Zhao Hai dared to release the aliens so openly. He had first appeared in the Montenegro fortress. If someone linked the aliens to the rotten corpse swamp, it would explain why he had appeared in the Black Mountain fortress. The people on the continent would only think of Zhao Hai as a crazy black magician and not Adam. This way, his identity as Adam would be even safer.
When Zhao Hai and the others appeared, the black soil wasteland had just been baptized by the undead creatures and magical beasts in the rotten swamp. Not long after the undead creatures and magical beasts retreated, Zhao Hai appeared in the Montenegro fortress. This way, even if others knew that the Xenomorphs were undead creatures from the rotten swamp, they would think that he was caught in the black soil wasteland and was a little crazy. They would never associate him with the Buda family.
Zhao Hai’s group was not advancing very quickly. In fact, they were moving very slowly. This was what they were doing on purpose.
Zhao Hai and the others wanted to cooperate with the magicdare firm, and they attached great importance to this cooperation. The person they wanted to cooperate with had to be someone they could trust, and there was no one more suitable than Laura.
However, Laura had yet to return from the Montenegro fortress. Therefore, even if Zhao Hai and the others arrived at Casar city ahead of time, they would not make the deal. They were not in a hurry, so they just moved forward slowly.
However, no one knew that Grimm had already snuck into Casar city in advance. Now, he would appear on top of the Xenomorphs ‘heads every day. The person wearing full-body armor was not Grimm, but a slave with a similar body shape to Grimm.
Grimm had to go to Casar city in advance to make preparations. He wanted to buy a small Manor and make some early preparations. When everyone’s eyes were on Zhao Hai and his group, Grimm’s actions should not attract any attention.
Of course, Zhao Hai and the others were not doing nothing. They had been drawing a map. They wanted to draw out the terrain of all the places they had passed.
Zhao Hai knew too little about this world. He wanted to know more about the situation around his house. He really lacked a sense of security.
Due to Green’s absence, Zhao Hai and the others were even more careful. They did not move very fast and they mostly took the main roads. Even when they had to bypass the city, they would find the roads that people usually took.
Zhao Hai did this because he was afraid that someone would not be able to hold back and test them. Now that only Merlin was present, and green was not, their combat power had dropped by almost half. He had to be careful.
In fact, Zhao Hai was thinking too much. His current identity was a black magician that no one wanted to mess with. No one dared to doubt his identity. As long as they saw aliens, no one would mess with him.
It could be said that Zhao Hai and the others had underestimated the deterrence of The Black Mages to ordinary mercenaries and adventurers. The mercenaries and adventurers who traveled outside were very clear that it was better to offend a powerful 7th-tier warrior than to offend a 4th-tier Black Mage. If you offended a warrior, the warrior would most likely kill you. However, if you offended a Black Mage, you would most likely be tortured to death and then become an undead creature to fight for him.
The adventurers and mercenaries were not afraid of death, but when they thought of having to fight for their enemies after their deaths, they felt uncomfortable. They would rather have their bodies eaten by magic beasts than become undead creatures.
It was for this reason that no adventurer or mercenary dared to offend a Black Mage, especially a Black Mage who had a summoned beast that had the combat power of a level five warrior.
Although Zhao Hai and his group were not moving very fast, they had attracted the attention of the entire Versailles Duchy. Whether it was the caravans they met on the road or the ordinary pedestrians, everyone paid close attention to them. There was no other reason than the news of their battle with the immortal mercenaries.
The undead mercenaries were too famous on the continent. They had become an existence that no one dared to offend. Now, Zhao Hai had actually fought with the undead mercenaries and even defeated them. This naturally attracted people’s attention.
No one thought that Zhao Hai and his group could capture the entire immortal mercenaries. In their eyes, it was impossible. The fact that the immortal mercenaries had come out unscathed in so many battles was not a lie. They had fought their way through. Other than being hunted down by the Sinya family and almost being wiped out, the immortal mercenaries had not suffered any losses. No one believed that they could capture the undead mercenaries.
The reason why they paid attention to Zhao Hai’s group was because they wanted to see who had the guts to provoke the immortal mercenaries. They also wanted to see when the immortal mercenaries would take revenge.
However, to everyone’s disappointment, Zhao Hai and the others were safe and sound. It was as if the undead mercenaries had disappeared. They didn’t come looking for trouble with Zhao Hai and the others at all. This puzzled everyone because it didn’t seem like the undead mercenaries ‘style.
Just like that, Zhao Hai and the others walked and stopped under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Versailles Duchy. They slowly made their way to Casar city. Along the way, they had become a part of the scenery, leaving Zhao Hai and the others helpless.
However, they had achieved their goal. Everyone’s eyes were focused on them, and no one paid attention to the Buda family. No one noticed that a small Manor in the mountains outside of Kass city had been bought for a hundred gold coins.
This small Manor was originally built by a businessman. No one knew how he chose it at the beginning. This Manor was built on a very remote Hill outside of Kass city. The land on the hill was very barren and nothing could grow on it. The only thing that was worthy of praise was that there was a hot spring on the hill. The manor was built on this hot spring and surrounded it.
Apparently, the merchant wanted to come to this small Manor for a vacation and a hot spring from time to time, but unfortunately, he went bankrupt later. No one was willing to buy this Manor because it was too remote. When Grimm heard the news, he immediately bought it. Although the small Manor was not worth a hundred gold coins, Grimm did not only buy the manor, but also the hill where the manor was located.
