"Finally succeeded!"

Under the deep sea, in an inconspicuous trench, in order to increase the success rate of refining, Diapolo, who was specially transformed into a shadow form, cheered.

After refining the souls of nearly two hundred pirates, he finally successfully pulled the power of the shadow world and injected it into his soul, completing the balance between power, and calming down the soul's instinct repulsion.

"not bad."

The Shadow Emperor Dragon, whose body was translucent and had almost no breath, looked down at his masterpiece. Although he carefully refined it according to the description in the inheritance, he still failed nearly two hundred times. However, after so many failures, he finally succeeded.

Because it was refining with the soul of a silver-level pirate, the strength of the refined Shadow Guard is also maintained at the shadow level, but its appearance is very good.

He is wearing a full-coverage black light armor and a long sword hangs around his waist. As far as human eyes are concerned, such a shadow soldier looks majestic and quite intimidating.

However, Diapolo, who created them with his own hands, knew very well that the strength of the Shadow Guards was that they could freely sneak in the shadows without any time limit. They were born as the best assassins.

The biggest disadvantage of Shadow Guards is that their strength as refined shadow creatures has been fixed from the beginning, and there is almost no possibility of improvement.

At the same time, as special shadow creatures, all the ways to restrain shadow creatures are effective for them.

This is a spell creation with obvious shortcomings and advantages, but this cannot eliminate its advantages.

"Kneel down!"

Diapolo stared at the shadow soldier in front of him and gave an order. Then he saw the shadow soldier in front of him kneeling cleanly in front of him without any drag.

"Go, do your best to kill that fish."

Diapolo reached out and pointed at a few hundred meters away. A shark swimming slowly. The guard who knelt on one knee turned his head and looked at the direction Diapolo pointed. A pair of scarlet pupils lit up behind the black armor.

Without any response, the shadow guard silently sank into the shadow under his feet and disappeared directly. Almost in the next moment, a warrior holding a black blade rushed out in the shadow under the shark's belly leisurely swimming.

Puff!

The weapon condensed by the power of shadow pierced into the shark's abdomen without any stagnation, and was then swung by the soldiers without any emotional shadow.

Hurry!

The internal organs in the shark's belly flowed out of the cut sword mouth. At this time, the shark that reacted was constantly struggling and rolling in the sea water.

When the shadow guard saw that the fish was still moving, he flashed a red light in his eyes, and once again raised the sword in his hand and cut off the shark head, which was six or seven meters long.

Then, the shadow guard put the sword back to his waist, held the shark's head, sank into the shadow again, appeared in front of Diapolo, knelt on one knee, and reported to him.

"Um!"

Diapolo looked at the fish head that was emitting bloody blood in the sea, pondered for a moment, and then gave a new order to the guard in front of him again.

"Go, give it to me..."

Tired of fatigue and no complaints, the loyal shadow guards kept silent and executed every command given by Diapolo, and Diapolo also gradually understood the general situation of the shadow soldiers he refined through the orders.

Loyalty and obedience are the core imprints engraved in the soul during refining, so there is nothing to say.

However, in order to ensure absolute loyalty, all the memories of the soul were erased during the refining process and only the instinct of fighting was retained, so this led to the shadow guard's intelligence being slightly insufficient.

Be able to understand and firmly execute every command, but it is too rigid and has no judgment.

And this is not without any way to solve it. The description of Shadow Guard in the inheritance also records this point, which can be compensated through time.

The wisdom of the shadow guard will gradually accumulate over time and become more and more agile. In the end, its wisdom will be the same as that of ordinary creatures. Now, it is just a shadow puppet with a soul.

"improvise."

Although he was making do with it, Diapolo was still very honest in urging the power of shadows to refine the second shadow guard in this unknown trench.

The sun and the moon alternated, time was lost. After ten days and nine nights, Diapolo finally exhausted all the pirate souls in his hand. At the cost, two hundred and seventy-two black shadow guards stood in front of him silently, waiting for him to give orders.

“Too few.”

As a greedy dragon, Diapolo looked at the shadow guards in front of him, and was very dissatisfied. He never betrayed and dedicated soldiers, no one would dislike him, no matter how many shortcomings he had.

What's more, the shortcomings of Shadow Guard are just normal attribute restraint and some harmless natural defects, and have not yet fallen to the point where they will be disliked.

"It seems like I have to kill more pirates."

At this moment, the dragon with a certain habit of attacking the sea turned its attention to the sea. The pirate ships robbed on the Sea of ​​Freedom were the best targets. One of those pirates counted one, but not many were wronged.

"Anyway, no matter how much I kill, these messy garbage will be replenished from the three surrounding continents, which is not a problem."

"Well, let's deal with the loot first!"

Diapolo, whose strength has entered a brand new field, looked down at her. There were thirteen huge bubbles of different sizes, each of which wrapped a ship just in the right place, preventing it from erosion by sea water.

These thirteen ships are composed of twelve pirate ships and a merchant ship. Needless to say, there is no living person on it, and all the pirates were killed by Diapolo.

But merchant ships are different. In Diapolo's perception, there are more than 300 life reactions in this merchant ship. They all passed the detection of evil, and in this detection of spell, they are not considered evil.

"Let me see what's inside."

Because he was eager to try the Fire of Soul and Refining the Shadow Guard, Diapolo did not pay too much attention to the things he had already bought. Anyway, he had already obtained it and could not escape.

The gorgeous sea blue light shone, and the master in the shadow transformed into the emperor in the sea. More than 200 shadow guards sank into the shadow and disappeared.

The sea water is meticulously manipulated to push all the bubbles wrapped around the ship on the surface of the sea of ​​chaos. The ship is one of the hardest things in a place like the Sea of ​​Chaos.

"Go and catch me all the people inside."

Staring at the calm merchant ship in front of him, Diapolo gave the order, and in the shadows of the merchant ship, one shadow guard after another appeared and poured into the cabin.

Then, the Shadow Guard carried one in one hand, and simply carried or dragged it, bringing one humanoid after another in a sleepy state out of the cabin and throwing it onto the deck.

"What did you think it was? It turned out to be a slave ship."

Diapolo's eyes shone slightly when he saw the many humanoid creatures brought out of the cabin by the shadow guards and placed neatly on the deck.

The slave trade flourished among the many types of trade in the Sea of ​​Freedom, because unlike the population trade prohibited by many countries on the mainland, the Sea of ​​Freedom encouraged all trade.

Therefore, it is not a rare thing to intercept a slave ship on the Sea of ​​Freedom. Diapolo doesn't want to care about such things. If he doesn't like it, he doesn't have the ability to ban such trade now. Even the gods can't control it, what can he do?

However, the focus now is that according to the rules of the Sea of ​​Freedom, all the "cargo" on this ship belongs to him. This is the focus of Diapolo's excitement.

Slaves who can be transported to the Sea of ​​Freedom basically have their own characteristics. Even ordinary people have extremely high value. Ordinary young and strong people cannot be transported onto the ship.

"Elf, dwarf, dwarf, halfling, and human."

Diapolo looked at the slaves in front of him, and in terms of race, the most valuable ones were naturally those young and beautiful elves. They were always top-notch products in the slave market, regardless of supply, regardless of gender.

The second-ranked one is naturally a dwarf, but just from the appearance, you can't see the value of a dwarf. The gap between a dwarf who is good at fighting and a dwarf who is good at forging is like yellow mud and gold, which is not the same level at all.

Dwarfs and halflings, um, Diapolo stretched out his claws and scratched his chin. He remembered that these two famous dwarf races seemed to be good at cooking soup? Farming? Forget it, I don't think about it anymore, I can't remember it.

And humans, uh, are the least able to assess value from their appearance. Even if there are a few ordinary humans on the deck, Diapolo will never underestimate them. Who knows what kind of knowledge these guys have in their minds?

"All of them are talents!"

Diapolo touched his chin and looked at the more than 300 slaves in front of him, and was moved. He could now be divided into the ranks of soul-level powerhouses, reaching the lower limit of strength of a dragon lord.

The first thing he had to do now was to find a way to get a territory that could be recognized by the surrounding forces, but having territory alone was not enough, and he was not planning to entertain himself.

If a territory wants to develop and build, it requires all kinds of talents. There is no doubt that the slaves in front of him are the talents he needs.

However, it is a big problem to awaken these talents in front of you. According to Diapolo, businesses that play slave trade will develop a secret medicine.

In the early stage of transporting slaves, they will forcibly pour secret medicine into the slave's body through various means, causing them to fall into a state of sleep. In this state, the various consumption of the slave's body will be reduced to the lowest level, and only a small amount of resources can be used to maintain vital signs for a long time.
