"Two years ago, there were only five of them. Ye Mu replied truthfully.

"There were five ...... two years ago" Nangong Nan's brows furrowed for a while, muttering something to himself, and finally asked, "Artoria, how many do you say there may be now?"

Beside him, a female knight in gilded armor stood up.

The knightess was very handsome, with blond hair coiled on top of her head, her green eyes as clear as holy jewels, and the armor she wore looked very bulky, but it did not hinder her every move.

Artoria arched her hand and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the demons cannot be measured by the cultivation time of human beings, the number of them must have increased several times in two years, and now there must be twenty." ”

Nangong Nan nodded and asked Artoria to return to the round table and sit down.

"Charm geometry, spirit geometry?" Nangong Nan asked again.

"There are countless charms, and there are hundreds. Ye Mu said.

He hadn't counted the number of ghosts that day, but he was sure that the number of bat demons and the skinless humanoid monsters in the mountains was more than hundreds.

Nangong Nan nodded and looked at the knights on the round table. Before he could speak, several knights took the lead in getting up, arching their hands at him, and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates are willing to fight on the battlefield for you!"

Nangong Nan shook his head and said, "This time the enemy is not a human, but a monster, which means that they contain countless blood patterns and other treasures, which means that they have countless treasures......"

Several knights did not speak, quietly waiting for Nangong Nan's words.

Nangong Nan glanced at a few knights, and suddenly smiled: "That means that this time, we can issue an edict to inform the world, so that all the blood-streaked warriors in the world can compete to kill these monsters, and when they eliminate the harm in the name, they can also earn a lot of the blood streaks and treasures they want." ”

What a trick to kill people with a knife! Ye Mu was secretly surprised when he saw it.

"Father, why don't you let the army exterminate these monsters?" Nangong Minlin said at this time: "Part of the spoils obtained from extermination can be replenished to the treasury, and the other part can be given to the soldiers, so that they can feel the generosity of our Qingluan Empire, and secondly, they can also announce to other empires that are eyeing us how strong our empire is." ”

Nangong Nan nodded and said, "In that case, then let's let the army exterminate them, and by the way, intimidate the group of pickled beasts in Rift Valley City." ”

"Artoria, this time, you ten knights and General Zhennan will lead a million heroes to suppress the demons. Remember, you can only win, not lose. "Nangong South Road.

"Yes. ”

After receiving the order, the ten knights were the first to retreat from the hall.

"Hehe," Nangong Nan looked at Ye Mu with a smile and asked, "Ye Mu, you sit." ”

Ye Mu sat opposite Nangong Nan with some restraint, and Nangong Minlin sat next to him.

"Ye Mu, what is your strength now?" Nangong Nan asked.

"Uncle Tuo Hongfu, I just broke through to the general level today. Ye Mu smiled awkwardly, after all, his daughter Nangong Nan had already reached the peak of the rank two years ago.

As expected, Nangong Nan also frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with Ye Mu's current strength. He said: "You have done our empire a great favor today, you just have to say what you want me to do, and I will promise you." ”

Obviously, Nangong Nan is also writing a check to Ye Mu now, but Ye Mu is not greedy, after all, blood patterns or something, the best blood patterns may not be lacking in the palace, but the path of advancement after the general level is far different from the human level, and it is not just necessary to devour the blood lines to upgrade.

The human-level blood pattern warrior is actually an absorption process, only need to absorb a certain number of blood patterns to upgrade, but after reaching the general level, it is a run-in process, only by successfully taming the blood pattern in the body, and constantly honing the physique, can you have the opportunity to enter the next level.

Different from the classification of human-level blood-streaked warriors, the level of blood-streaked warriors is divided into body refining, refining tendons, and refining the mind.

The so-called body refining, just like these two words say, is completely just a simple exercise of the body, but it needs to reach a certain intensity before it can be regarded as a success in body refining.

Refining tendons is cultivating the tendons and veins in the body.

If a person's body is the capital, then for the blood-streaked warrior, there must be a vein, only when the veins are strong and broad, then they can become strong.

In the end, the most important thing is to refine the mind, the so-called mind is the divine sense, the last time the skeleton demon under the Rift City summoned Shusterl is actually a kind of fighting skill that acts on the mind, through this fighting skill to materialize the mind, so as to achieve the ability to fight in a clone.

However, for general-level blood pattern warriors, the clone is still a bit far away, so the most important point of this heart refining god is that he can still cultivate the power of qi and blood.

These can't rely on external things to help, so Ye Mu naturally filtered out these things.

In this case, Ye Mu also thought of what he needed now.

"Uncle Nangong, I want to learn alchemy, I don't know if it's possible?" Ye Mu asked.

Nangong Nan was stunned for a moment, looked Ye Mu up and down, and then said, "Of course you can!"

Early the next morning, Ye Mu, who had recovered his original appearance, came to the northwest corner of the palace under the leadership of a subordinate, where there was a huge garden, covering an area of hundreds of acres, planted with all kinds of materials and medicinal materials.

Ye Mu saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, because these materials were precious materials that were difficult to see in the outside world.

Walking through the medicine field, Ye Mu saw three thatched houses located in the middle of the medicine field, and in a small courtyard in the middle of the thatched houses, a young girl was drying medicinal herbs.

The servant stepped forward and finished telling Nangong Nan what he had ordered, and then he gave up his hand at the two of them and went back, leaving only Ye Mu and the girl in front of him.

"Hello, my name is Ye Mu. ”

Ye Mu took the lead in greeting and stretched out her right hand, but the girl had her hands behind her back and had no intention of shaking hands.

Ye Mu smiled a little embarrassedly, and the girl pointed to a well in the courtyard next to her, and said, "You go wash your hands first, the master said that you can't touch the medicinal herbs without washing your hands." ”

It turns out that this girl is not an alchemist!

However, Ye Mu still did as she said, ran to the side to fetch a bucket of water, washed his hands twice, the well water in winter was extremely cold, and he knew that Ye Mu's hands were red.

The girl also came over and washed her hands, then shook hands with Ye Mu and said, "My name is Yang Yuefang, just call me senior sister." ”

Letting go of his hand, Ye Mu suddenly reacted and asked, "Why do I call you Senior Sister?"

"First come, first come. Yang Yuefang straightened her small chest that was flat enough to park the plane, and said, "Besides, I'm bigger than you!"

Ye Mu squinted and asked, "What's the big one?"

The innocent Yang Yuefang didn't hear that Ye Mu was ridiculing her for being so small, so she turned around and continued to sort out the medicinal materials, and said, "The master has gone to the auction in the city to sell the pills, and he will come back in the evening, now you can help sweep the snow in the medicine field first." ”

"Good. Ye Mu agreed, picked up the broom and went to the field, and began to sweep the snow, and after sweeping for a while, he reacted, he didn't seem to have come to sweep the floor!

However, complaining is complaining, Ye Mu still swept away all the snow in the hundred acres of land, and he was tired and sweating.

When he came back from sweeping the snow, he saw that Yang Yuefang was gone, and he was about to shout, but he saw her poking her little head out of a room, looked left and right, and beckoned to Ye Mu like a thief, and said, "You come here." ”

Ye Mu was confused, so he walked over.

Walking into the house, Yang Yuefang stuffed Ye Mu with a roasted sweet potato and said, "Shhh

Ye Mu was stunned for a moment, what kind of person is this. But I still ate the roasted sweet potato, not to mention it was quite sweet.

This room is very warm, and a burning stove indicates that this is the kitchen. In a large cauldron one meter wide, something seemed to be cooking.
