Chapter 430: Deepening (End)
Defecting to the great aristocracy is a shortcut to development, but the aristocracy of this world has independent territory and sovereignty, and even the king is not very convinced, so it is generally impossible to form an alliance with each other at most.
When Baron Vane was young, he had some talents, and he was not even interested in forming an alliance with the big nobles, and always wanted to rely on his own strength to develop the territory, and would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
When I got older, I realized how naïve I was, but it was too late and I missed a lot of opportunities.
Fortunately, the appearance of a new viscount in a neighboring county made the original old viscount family feel the crisis, and they had the idea of expanding the circle of the alliance, and he had this good opportunity!
Therefore, this banquet seems to be a banquet for hospitality, but it is actually a show of strength and preparation for future accession to the alliance.
The joining of a baron and the joining of a baron with a strong and large circle of interests are completely different concepts.
Baron Vane has not done anything in his life, and his territory has developed in general, but he has also established a lot of personal networks, although most of them are at a low level, but together, they are not weak, and they can make his power swell to the level of a powerful baron!
In order to prevent accidents from happening, he didn't even dare to let his son, who always likes to cause trouble, and his two ugly daughters into the table, which caused a lot of resentment, but he couldn't help it.
Vane knew that what the old viscount could not tolerate the most was the destruction of order and the provocation of rules, which was understandable, after all, it was a pain in the skin.
At this time, there was a good banquet, and suddenly someone roared at the guards, which was obviously a sign of unstable order.
So he walked briskly towards the place of the incident for the first time, and he didn't even notice that the old viscount also led people to follow.
In the corner, there was another person who had a puzzled and stunned expression on his face after seeing this situation.
It was a noble young woman, who looked quite beautiful, but was dressed ordinarily, and was obviously a relative of the small noble squire's family, or was not treated by her husband's family at all.
The woman stared at Ling Qi in a daze, a little stupid, and her shocked eyes were full of disbelief and deep worry.
Being at the center of the incident, Ling Qi also felt a lot of eyes, except for the woman's gaze that surprised him a little, the rest was really like a breeze.
"This time, it seems to be a little interesting. ”
"So, is it Zhu Luoji, or is it Butterfly Flying?"
"Unfortunately, I still don't want to play!"
Ling Qi thought about it, and found that the baron only brought a personal guard, and he had already come three meters away, and the viscount followed him, and there were only three people with him, so he couldn't help but smile a little.
This body is really weak, not because it is thin, but because it has no potential at all and its foundation is too poor.
If he has potential, he has a way to stimulate it, no matter what form it takes, he can make his combat power skyrocket!
His level is not an immortal, it is above the saint, omnipotent.
If he has a good foundation, it is the same reason, and he can burst out ten or twenty times his combat power in an instant!
The cost and side effects of this are not small, but it is also appropriate to leave as soon as it is refreshing.
In fact, if he completely replaces Zhan Inmut and has twenty years to buffer, instead of facing dozens of archers at once, then he may be able to accomplish some feats!
Time, the key is time!
As long as there is enough time, even if it is this body, even if it is the previous world environment, one person is a thousand, it really can't be done?
This scene is given to those weak immortals, or those who are not so bad, to develop from a few years to a few decades before they meet him as a key person.
And to give him this incredibly powerful existence, only a few minutes, ten minutes!
What can be done at this time, under a completely different system of conceptual rules?
This is forcing him to play honestly according to the script, don't encounter things, and always think about magnifying the moves!
But he didn't want to!
Draw your sword and slash!
Blood splattered, and the young man and several people around him were easily hacked to death.
Ling Qi's body flickered, and he came to the shocked baron, and with a knee hit, he beat the bald baron into a shrimp, and then he carried it and used it as a shield, facing a long knife and two points of cold light that cut over!
The long knife was immediately withdrawn, and the baron's guard even stumbled a little because of this, Ling Qi staggered past the baron and him, and the guard fell out, already dead!
The cold light that had obviously hesitated for a moment at those two points only became firm again at this time, but this hesitation gave Ling Qi vitality!
If there is no hesitation at all, and he can achieve this level at the level of a mortal, it means that the other party has some kind of extraordinary power, or extraordinary skill, and that will pose an even more deadly threat to Ling Qi!
Rumble!
The baron was thrown out by him and directly hit an invisible wall of qi, which made Ling Qi's eyes shrink slightly, but in the next moment, he immediately made a decision, still launched an attack, and instantly shrunk into a ball of flesh, directly from the gap formed by the staggered cold light of the two points, and squeezed through!
This baron's meat shield still played some role, otherwise it would definitely not be so easy for him to break through.
If it weren't for the existence of the mysterious power that held the last shot, his chances of successfully capturing the viscount this time should be more than eighty percent!
It's a pity, it's a real pity.
The title is a little short, and the power is far away.
Around the baron, the strongest is just a master among ordinary people, and around the viscount, there are already capable people!
However, this level of disparity has gone beyond the level difference in strength, and I am afraid there are other reasons.
The light flashed twice, and the two attendants beside the viscount, each with a piece of triangular iron stuck in their throats, fell backwards.
At this time, the viscount even had the heart to look at it and found that it was two noble medals, so he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Picking leaves and flying flowers can hurt the enemy, there is no such thing in this world, but there are such people, but they should never appear in this barren barony, or even in the kingdom where the viscount is located.
"Don't kill him!"
"Capture him!"
The viscount first looked at the baron on the ground, and suddenly ordered.
These words made the leader of the guards who rushed over secretly say that it was not good.
In other words, if Ling Qi was directly characterized as an assassin and killed on the spot, then it would be fine.
If this viscount has any other thoughts, and finally let this guy with hidden strength and bad intentions have the opportunity to bite him on the head, or even worse, turn into a subordinate of the viscount, and take revenge on him in the future, then he will be miserable!
The strength shown by this person has surpassed the worldly level, and he is a legendary professional, not a weak person among professionals! Judging from this person's past status and age, maybe this is still a rare genius among professionals in ten years!
This kind of person, as long as he does not commit a big crime, some nobles are willing to recruit him.
As for assassination and offense, this kind of thing really happened, of course, it is not tolerated, the problem is that now the baron is still alive, and it seems miserable, but in fact it is just a false alarm, and he is not really seriously injured and dying.
The dead are just the family members of some low-ranking nobles, as well as a few guards, this matter is not small, but it is not that it cannot be suppressed, it depends on why this person is like this, and most importantly, whether he can use it for him.
Thinking of this in an instant, it was not that the head of the guard knew much about the temperament of the viscount, but that in this world, there was a great emperor who did the same. Since then, there have been many similar incidents, with the Assassin being forgiven for some reason and in turn being reformed.
Among them, of course, there are many people who steal chickens and rice, but under the cover of well-intentioned people, people will only see the successful ones. Naturally, the most important thing in people's eyes is success, not failure.
There has been a precedent! This is what the head of the guard fears the most!
Anything, once there is a precedent, it is no longer so unacceptable, let alone shocking.
In this world, among the greatest emperors, there must be a place for Fidro the Horseman.
One of the wisest things in the life of this groom-born emperor was to pardon the sins of an assassin, and even to avenge the assassin by killing a greedy and cruel minister.
At the time, this incident had a very bad impact.
Ten years later, when the Assassin became the god of war of the Empire, loyally expanding the territory for Fidero, laying the foundation for eternal hegemony, all doubts and criticisms disappeared!
Because of this, for those who do not really threaten their own offense, the superior is not unable to have a tolerant attitude, it depends on the character of the superior himself, but also depends on the other party, whether it shows value worthy of such treatment!
A peasant's son, a man who was not yet twenty years old, who could chop melons and vegetables, and kill the baron's number one master, and the young man who the viscount brought two professional retinues, if there were really valid reasons for him to do so, and did not kill any real nobleman, he could be pardoned.
If you consider the impact, you may change your name and surname, and join the Viscount in a different capacity. As for the "assassins" who did such evil things, of course, they were executed in public!
Countless thoughts flashed through the head of the guard, and when he realized that he had not bullied this man, he resisted the thought of giving the order to shoot.
At this time, this person is too close to the viscount, in fact, it is not easy to give that kind of order, there are also archers under the baron's command, and there are arrangements around this banquet, but if you want to count on the accuracy of these archers, forget it.
Any archer who inadvertently shoots an arrow at the viscount could be finished with him and the one who gave the order.
Unless this archer, who is also a hidden genius professional, has an extraordinary value comparable to hundreds of elite soldiers!
At this time, Ling Qi's face was indifferent, and he did not have much killing intent. Because what he wants to kill is not a viscount. Even, if the plan goes well, he may not need to kill the key characters simply and rudely like last time to make the scene end.
The viscount is a shield and amulet, and the key to achieving the goal.
After achieving his goal, of course he could kill as he pleased, but he couldn't die yet.
