Chapter 431: Xiangji's Father
Chapter 431: Xiangji's father
Marcus, no, Bishop Marcus, or Count Marcus, had never been more satisfied than he was today—he had the day to lead the royal Shields to regain lost territory for the Empire, and most importantly, every inch of territory he conquered would be rewarded to the Bunnians!
Marcus Bunian, who was handsome in his youth, had a lot of hooks up with the glamorous maids in the taverns, or the pretty daughters of merchants, or even the aristocratic ladies who liked to pretend to be high! Marcus was once so complacent that he was like a rotten dead wood and indulged in drunkenness all day long.
By the time Marcus was forty years old, he had originally had a high-level star soul talent, but he had barely crossed the threshold of the Demon Sealer, obviously wasting his great talent. But Marcus himself didn't care much about this, he was born into a small merchant family, and had already inherited his father's family business - merchants, and not those nobles who could be sent to the battlefield at any time, so why did he have to practice hard?
But the so-called often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet - again, Marcus successfully hooked up with a noble lady, and picked the other party's red pills, but it didn't take long for Marcus to be proud, and this matter was known to the baron's father, and more importantly, the noble lady had been engaged to the son of a viscount, and was about to be married! It is not difficult to imagine how angry the baronial father of the noble lady was!
In the face of the anger of a baron with real power, the Bunian family behind Marcus seemed vulnerable - first the family shop was seized on trumped-up charges, then Marcus's people were thrown into prison one after another, and finally even Marcus himself was thrown into prison and tortured half to death by all kinds of torture! If it weren't for the noble lady who was affectionate and righteous and forced her baron's father to spare Marcus's life with death, how could he Marcus still live to this day?!
The tragic lesson of this almost death made Marcus deeply realize the horror of the aristocracy, and it turned out that those whom he had always been proud of were so worthless in the face of power! He wanted to rise up, he wanted power, and he wanted revenge on those who had caused him suffering!
For the first time, Marcus had a strong desire to rise!
Seeing this, according to the template of the general waste counterattack flow, Marcus should get a lot of adventures next, and then pretend to be slapped in the face all the way, and finally sit on countless beauties and lead a million army to the baron's father of the noble lady, shouting "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth" and the like, and finally got rid of the other party who regretted not being at the beginning, and perfectly realized a ** silk counterattack road!
But alas, this is not after all, and even if it is, he Marcus is not the protagonist. Therefore, although Marcus has a strong determination to change his past mistakes, at that time, if he has no strength (missed the best cultivation age), and no capital (the family property has been confiscated), how can he rise?
In fact, the once desperate Marcus really had such an idea and put it into practice! But the truth was far more cruel than he expected, his first guest was not a charming young lady, but an obese middle-aged woman weighing more than 300 pounds! That night was definitely an unbearable memory for Marcus, and what made him grit his teeth even more was that after the incident, the damn fat woman complained to his boss that Marcus was not capable, and forcibly reduced the reservation fee by half! For this reason, Marcus was once reduced to the laughing stock of his peers, and was pointed at with disdain by the women who would have looked at him with shy eyes!
There is no doubt that Marcus's path to the cowherd soon came to an end in a bleak fashion......
After some careful consideration, Marcus returned to his family's old business - business, although out of fear of the father of the noble lady Baron, most of the partners of the Bunian family cut off contact with the Bunian family, but there were still a few chambers of commerce willing to secretly pull Marcus at this time, and Marcus got his first money on the road to business.
But how did Marcus, who had always been addicted to wine and fragrant kisses, understand the ditches and bumps of business, and the sinister nature of the human heart? So unsurprisingly, Marcus's first business was soon stillborn because he was betrayed by his partner......
In this way, Marcus had been stumbling on the path of a crappy merchant in one bad luck or another, and even by the time he was sixty years old, he had not been able to restore the strength of the Bunyen family to half of what it had been twenty years earlier!
But Marcus hadn't been without success in the past twenty years—in an accident, he had saved a young woman from a robber, and the woman he was now having, though poorly dressed, was so beautiful that she was even more beautiful than any woman he had ever come into contact with in half his life!
In the end, Marcus married the young woman who did not dislike him for being three times his age, and on the night of his daughter Angelina's birth, looking at Angelina's innocent smiling face and his wife's satisfied smile, Marcus even forgot the hatred that tormented him for countless days and nights - perhaps, it is also a great happiness to spend a lifetime of harmony and beauty as a family, right?
But fate played a huge joke on Marcus at this time - the day after his daughter appeared, two honorable Inquisition Popes came to the door in person, claiming that Angelina would be the noblest acolyte of the Inquisition, which was the supreme glory bestowed by the Holy King!
Marcus didn't understand what the acolyte was, but judging from the attitude of the two Inquisition Popes towards Angelina and himself, it was obviously a great thing! And soon, Marcus's conjecture was verified-he was actually made a bishop by the Inquisition, you must know that at that time he didn't even know the most basic judgment magic! But the Holy King is above, such a fragrant pie, will he Marcus refuse?!
In this way, in just one night, Marcus went from being a crappy merchant who was blinded everywhere to becoming a respected bishop of the Inquisition, and he also beared the name of the father of the god-servant!
What made Marcus even more unexpected was that thirty years later, his daughter Angelina had become the favorite concubine of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor Roland! For this reason, Marcus was also promoted to earl by Emperor Roland, and got a huge hereditary territory!
It was only then that Marcus truly completed his counterattack, from a lost dog to a down-and-out crappy merchant to a noble bishop of the Inquisition, and a powerful earl - past the baronial father of the noble lady and the viscount to which her current husband belonged, the source of all his suffering!
Marcus had never been a generous man, so he soon took revenge on the two baronial and viscount families, using the same methods that they had inflicted on him, by entrapping all the property of the two families into the treasury and throwing all their members into prison, and using all the methods of torture he knew and could imagine on them, especially the father and husband of the noble lady!
Of course, Marcus did not forget the noble lady's life-saving grace to him, and Marcus felt that the best way to repay him was to forcibly include the other party in his room - although there was nothing in the noble lady at this time that could arouse his sexual interest, but the beautiful daughter born to the noble lady and her viscount husband made Marcus full of sexual interest, and out of noble pity, Marcus finally included the daughter of the noble lady, another noble lady, into the room!
Such a practice will undoubtedly make Marcus controversial in the aristocratic circle of the Roland Empire, and even the Inquisition has sent many popes to 'preach' him, but Marcus doesn't care about this, because he has a good daughter who others can't envy - Xianghime, Angelina!
However, after venting the long-accumulated hatred in his heart, Marcus's restless heart gradually began to calm down, and he began to seriously think about the future of the Bunian family, he will not be satisfied with everything now, he will let the Bunian family be promoted to the top nobles in the entire Roland Empire in his lifetime!
The idea is good, but the reality is a bit cruel - their Bunian family was not a prosperous family, and when they were suppressed by the father of the noble lady baron, except for the fact that he was able to save his life because of the noble lady's plea, his people would have died long ago!
Isn't it a joke that their Bunian family will be inherited by Victoria in the future, but they are the noble princesses of the Empire, and they will look down on his palm-sized territory?! So, no matter what, you still have to try to give birth to your own children!
In order to solve this trouble, Marcus can be said to have secretly searched for most of the famous alchemists in the Roland Empire, and he did not know how many strange magic potions he had poured into them, but unfortunately, so far, many of his wives' stomachs have still not moved!
Just when Marcus was almost desperate, a mysterious alchemist took the initiative to find him - he didn't know the true identity of the alchemist who was wrapped in black robes all day long, and he hadn't even seen the other party's appearance, but through his own channels, he knew that the other party was an extremely powerful alchemist, and even his level was not inferior to those alchemists in the royal court mage group!
At first, Marcus took the initiative to ask for help from the other party, but unfortunately, he couldn't even enter the door, and was forcibly blasted out by the other party with magic! Such impolite treatment, Marcus has not encountered it for an unknown amount of time, but in the end, Marcus did not retaliate against the other party - it is really a bit impossible to provoke a powerful alchemist because of this trivial matter.
But what Marcus didn't expect was that not long ago, that alchemist actually took the initiative to find him, and claimed that he was absolutely sure to solve his predicament! This immediately made Marcus ecstatic, he didn't suspect the other party at all - such a powerful alchemist, there was really no need to deceive him!
Of course, the alchemist's kindness is not without prerequisites - to refine the magic potion that Marcus wants, he needs a rare alchemy material, and the worst thing is that the alchemy material is currently only available in the City Lord's Mansion in Penlin Fortress in Beiluo County! Marcus knew that this was the purpose of the alchemist!
However, Marcus took this for granted, and if the other party took the initiative to help him without asking, it would make Marcus feel that something was wrong!
As for how to get the alchemy materials and the magic potion, Marcus originally thought of stealing them, which was so simple and efficient, and he spent a lot of money to find a famous thieves' union in the south of the Roland Empire!
But things didn't go as smoothly as Marcus expected, the thieves' guild actually failed, and even lost several good players for it! Marcus didn't care about the lives of those thieves who didn't see the light, he cared about how to achieve his goal?!
A month later, Marcus was invited to a private banquet by a noble friend of his. Marcus knew exactly what the so-called private banquet was, and when he first became an earl, Marcus was addicted to it for a while. But at that time, Marcus really couldn't raise that kind of interest, but he didn't want to save the other party's face, after all, the other party was one of the few friends he really recognized, and the most important thing was that his friend's ideas were really not ordinary! So in the end, Marcus still went.
During the banquet, Marcus's friend noticed that something was wrong with him, and under questioning, Marcus did not hide it from the other party, and explained his predicament to the other party in general, and he also secretly hoped that his resourceful friend could come up with a feasible solution for him!
And Marcus's friend did not disappoint him in the end, and he made a very effective suggestion in Marcus's opinion - lead his troops to attack the Penlin Fortress! As long as the Penlin Fortress is defeated, he will take whatever he wants when the time comes.
This immediately made Marcus's eyes light up, and he also thought that this method was feasible! However, it was not without difficulties, such as, how to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to allow him to lead his troops into battle?
In this regard, Marcus was confident - he had long heard that His Majesty the Emperor had the idea of recovering Beiluo County, and if it had not been secretly obstructed by the Inquisition, the Oath Shield Corps would have been drawn out a long time ago! Marcus believed that as long as he made a strong effort, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely send troops to attack Beiluo County, and he would also hand over the position of front-line commander to himself!
Because, Marcus knows very well where the fate of the 'lustful pig (although Marcus's title and territory were given by Emperor Roland, but he really can't have much respect for His Majesty the Emperor, who is even more infamous than himself)' - Saint PePaulo is lustful, but his ability in that regard is extremely imbecile, which has long been an undisclosed secret among many nobles in the Roland Empire! As long as he claims to have a magic potion hidden in the Penglin Fortress that can improve a man's ability in that aspect, His Majesty the Emperor can't wait to attack it?!
And as a result, as Marcus expected, St. Pepaul really sent the Oath Shield Corps to attack the Penlin Fortress, and handed over the command to Marcus, who had no experience in commanding troops! At the same time, Marcus even got a hint from St. PePaul, as long as he could successfully bring back the magic potion, he would give the Penlin Fortress to their Bunian family!
"It's really a lustful pig......" Remembering the ugliness of Saint-Pepaolo at that time, the corners of Marcus's mouth couldn't help but raise a sneer of disdain, "However, such an emperor is more likable, isn't it?"
