Chapter 132 News of the Dragon Graveyard

Argreed addressed all the orcs from his high position using telepathy: "My poor orc subjects, I am your new emperor, Argreed Tutankhamun Presidian Rael. I have gathered you here because I know very well that many of you below do not like being ruled by me, and I gladly accept that. I want to tell you that if you wish to leave this country, I will not stop you, but I would like to present you with a performance before you leave."

As he spoke, immense magical power surged from Agreed's body, and then Agreed shouted, "The highest level of nature magic, 'Nature Mastery'!" In an instant, the ground beneath the orcs' feet began to change. Moss appeared on the rock-hard ground, and in an instant, shrubs sprouted and grass suddenly emerged. Rain fell suddenly from the sky, but in the blink of an eye, the sky cleared up. In just a quarter of an hour, the orcs seemed to have personally experienced the transformation of the world, witnessing a geological evolution that would take tens of thousands of years to occur.

When the orcs came to their senses, they had no choice but to acknowledge and accept the fact, looking down with disbelief on their faces.

Because the orc wasteland in their eyes had changed. The soil beneath their feet had become soft and fertile, and a river that had not been seen for many years had appeared in the distance. The ground was covered with lush green grass, and trees had reappeared on this wasteland after a long absence. Everything was so unreal. The orcs could hardly believe it. They picked up a handful of soil and stuffed it into their mouths, enjoying the wonderful smell of the soil. It was back! The plains that the orcs could only see in history had returned!

Agreed laughed as he watched this scene. This was the effect he wanted. Reviving a piece of land might be a lifelong thing for a group of ordinary people, but for a forbidden spell mage like him, it was just a matter of lifting a finger. Although this land had been temporarily transformed into a habitable place, it was only a temporary solution. If careful planting and management were not carried out on the land as soon as possible, the soil and water would be lost again and the land would revert to its original state.

Then Agreed spoke again, shouting to the excited orcs: "What you see now is the performance I want to show you. I don't want to prove anything with it. Use your eyes to see and all your senses to feel. I will bring prosperity to the people who are willing to follow me. Those who want to leave, leave; those who want to stay, stand here and express your loyalty to me!"

The orcs looked at each other, and suddenly one of them knelt down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"

At that moment, all the orcs immediately began to follow suit, rushing to kneel on the ground and shouting, "Long live the Emperor!!"

Agreed looked at them with satisfaction and said, “Very good. It seems that no one wants to leave the land where their ancestors lived. So, you can all stay here and work with me to make this place better. I will make sure everyone has enough to eat and lives a better life than before. I mean what I say.”

In this way, Agred easily conquered the entire orc race, turning them all into his fanatical followers in just half a day and with a single spell.

In the days that followed, Agred quickly formulated a development plan for the orc kingdom and entrusted all these tasks to Kasa. The lich was very intelligent, and besides, Agred had already planned and written down all the tasks in great detail, so Agred was very confident in delegating the work to Kasa.

Kasa did not disappoint Agred's expectations and led the orcs to begin developing and building the orc plains in an orderly manner. Now the orcs' food reserves are more than enough to eat. After all, so many people were lost after the great war, and the invading undead army did not eat. Therefore, the orcs' food rations are now more abundant than ever before.

Just as Agred was completely relieved and preparing to return to his training, he suddenly received a message from the stranger he had met at the Orc King's Tomb. The stranger succinctly delivered a message and a map to Agred through the cursed soul link.

"Senior, I've found the Golden Dragon Clan's burial grounds. Come quickly! The target location is here."

Upon receiving this news, Agreed was instantly terrified. He immediately took out paper and pen to copy the map that had been transmitted to his mind, and then carefully examined the location of the dragon tomb that the stranger had mentioned.

The Dragon Tomb is located on a small island in the endless sea to the southeast of the mainland. The island is surrounded by reefs, whirlpools, and terrifying fog, making it impossible for any creature to sail there. The harsh environment also prevents any marine life from settling there for long. It's certainly highly likely that a dragon would choose it as its burial ground. But… why the Golden Dragon's Tomb? The Golden Dragon clan is the dragon clan that values ​​its tombs the most. Why could that kid find the most difficult-to-find Golden Dragon Tomb, instead of the easier-to-find or even less-defended tombs of the Five-Colored Dragons? (The Five-Colored Dragons refer to the five major dragon species: Red, Green, Blue, White, and Black.)

Agred looked at the map and murmured, "A trap? But... isn't that stranger afraid of death? Logically speaking, he shouldn't dare to do this, or perhaps..." In the end, Agred shook his head helplessly. The more he imagined, the further he got from the truth. He couldn't possibly understand the stranger's thoughts and decisions, just as the stranger couldn't understand his thoughts.

So Agreed decided to make thorough preparations before going to the island to investigate the cemetery. After spending three days preparing everything, Agreed set off for the island known as the Golden Dragon Tomb.

The island was located in a very remote area. It took Agred about ten days of continuous flight at sea before he finally saw the general outline of the island through the thick fog on the horizon.

Agreed then sped up and quickly landed on the island's beach. He then used the Curse of the Dead to contact the stranger and asked, "I've arrived. Where are you?"

The stranger quickly replied, "Senior, I am in the ring mountain range on the western side of the island. The remains of the Golden Dragon Clan are preserved here. Please come quickly."

Upon hearing the news, Agreed appeared above the ring mountain in the blink of an eye, as if by magic. After sensing the stranger's location, Agreed silently appeared behind him and whispered, "Little guy, you're pretty amazing. How did you find this place?"

The stranger was startled by Agreed's sudden appearance, then clutched his chest, still shaken, and said, "Senior, you scared me to death. This is a tomb I accidentally discovered while tracking a golden dragon. As soon as I found it, I sent you a message. You see, I've resolved everything as you requested. As for the curse on me, do you think it's..." As he spoke, the stranger rubbed his hands together slyly, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Then Agreed reached out and a dark energy surged from the stranger's body and flowed into Agreed's body. After doing all this, Agreed said, "Alright, I have lifted all the curses from you."
