Chapter 979
Gama City in February, calm and busy, for those ordinary residents, there is nothing big happening this month, although there are many families who have lost their men, and they have been making trouble for a while, but most of them have been persuaded to go back by the Elf Moon family and the Oba family, and the lord's mansion has also given a lot of pensions to the families of these dead, and these ordinary residents are no longer making trouble.
After all, they all know that the war between the two countries is inevitable, and the dead are inevitable, and such generous treatment is almost unimaginable in other parts of the mainland, and judging from what the new lord has done, he is also a reasonable person, if they continue to make trouble, I am afraid that they will be a little ignorant.
Of course, not everyone is so easy to appease, but Jingchen is not a soft-hearted person, for those who deliberately do not want to settle down, whether it is Jingchen, or Baruch and others, those soldiers who have been compiled by Jingchen as the lord's personal guard, will not show mercy, after some diehards have many "bizarre" disappearances, the chaos in the original plan of Badros did not appear.
In fact, the most important reason why that kind of chaos did not appear was that Jingchen did not really participate in this battle, and Jingchen's subordinates, whether they were officials or sergeants, except for the lord's personal guard, all of them were selected from the locals. The families of those who died in battle did not have much resistance to these people who were born and raised in this land, and these ordinary residents just wanted to live in peace and let them work against the authorities, which is too much to overestimate their courage.
After dealing with the families of these dead, Jingchen put all his energy into the upcoming inauguration ceremony, and he wanted to take this opportunity to implement his ideas, which would not only save him a lot of manpower and material resources, but also allow Jingchen, a person who doesn't like to be bound, to live more calmly.
In fact, Jingchen also thought about handing over this mess to Yueran, to the elf Yue's family, just from his relationship with Yue Yanran, he was also relieved to hand over the entire territory to Yueran to take care of, but the reason why he didn't do it was that when he talked late that night, Yueran also said his concerns.
Although with the relationship between Jingchen and the Yue family, this seems to be nothing, but the Holy Spirit Empire, especially the Lingjia Emperor, I am afraid that he may not necessarily think so, as the lord of a territory, but he handed over his territory to a big family that used to be in charge of the traitor, this kind of thing can be big or small, if it is used by someone with a heart, it will be a trouble at that time.
So Yue Ran politely rejected Jing Chen's kindness, of course, Yue Ran didn't really care so much about such a huge power, under Jing Chen's instructions, Yue Ran still set up the Lord's Mansion, although it can't be said that the entire Lord's Mansion is his Yue family's people, but many of the important positions are also controlled by the Yue family, or people related to the Yue family.
In this way, first of all, Jingchen's idea can be implemented more conveniently, he only needs to explain to the Yue family, or Yueran, and his ideas can be implemented quickly, and secondly, Jingchen's control over the territory has also been greatly strengthened.
Although it seems that Jing Chen may be easily overshadowed by the Yue family, Jing Chen has no worries in his heart, needless to say the well-known relationship between him and Yue Yanran, even if there is no such relationship, Yue Ran would not dare to joke with the lives of the entire Elf Yue family.
Yue Ran had witnessed it with his own eyes, and when Jing Chen waved his hand, dozens of pale golden figures flew out together, under that terrifying strength slaughter, even the Nangong family, which was stronger than the Yue family and had a deeper foundation, was completely turned into the dust of history in an instant, not to mention his Yue family.
It is also based on these two considerations, so Jingchen and the Yue family are tied to a chariot no matter what, and they are both prosperous and lossy.
Since the principals of many families, through various relationships, learned the news that Jingchen, the new lord, was ready to delegate power from the mouths of the two major families of the Yue family and Oba family, these families began to get busy, whether it was to give gifts and go to the door, or to set up almost feelings, anyway, the means that could be used were all used all over again.
After all, no one knows what the division of power in each city is, if it happens to be their own enemy who is on the right path, and they are on the wrong path, when the power of their own city falls into the hands of the other party, it will be an immeasurable disaster for them and the families behind them, and every time they think of this possibility, the principals of these families will not hesitate to invest in blood and money, in order to get the results they want.
For this situation, Jingchen chose to turn a blind eye, this is also what he agreed with the Yue family and the Oba family, these benefits can be collected by the two families, but at the time of the final statistics, they must hand over a copy of the treasury, although in this way, the two families want to take out a share of the benefits they have received, but these benefits are all obtained out of thin air after all, and under Jingchen's share of force, even if they are completely handed over, the two families dare not have any complaints.
In fact, this is also Jingchen's helpless move, although he has a lot of money on him, but that money is still a bit shabby for running a territory with eighteen cities of all sizes, so collecting money in this way is also the only way he can think of now, which is relatively easy and fast.
"Your Highness, Patriarch Yueran and Patriarch Obama are waiting for you in the council chamber. A member of the lord's personal guard slowly walked to the outside of Jingchen's dormitory and said respectfully.
"Well, I see, let the two patriarchs be entertained, I'll be there later. Jing Chen's voice came from inside the hall a little ethereal, and the guard answered, bowed to the door of the hall again, and then retreated.
The lord's mansion where Jingchen lives is the original Gama Palace, but the name has been changed, and the council hall is actually the council hall during the Gama Kingdom, although Jingchen is also a prince, but he is currently just a lord, according to the laws of the Holy Spirit Empire, those who have not received the title of Duke of the Empire are not allowed to call the place where they live "palace", and Jingchen, a cheap prince, is naturally no exception.
Slowly came to the council hall, but the council hall was a little empty at the moment, and in the huge council hall, there were only two people sitting and a few servants who were responsible for serving the two.
Seeing Jingchen coming, those servants hurriedly saluted Jingchen and said, "I've seen the Third Highness." β
Not only these servants, but even Yueran and Obama stood up, although Yueran and Jingchen have a special relationship, but on this occasion, Yueran still has to maintain the due etiquette of officialdom to Jingchen, this is the rule, as the saying goes, there is no rule without a circle, and this is the case everywhere.
"I've seen the Third Highness!"
Yueran and Obama said in unison.
Jingchen waved his hand, motioned for the two to sit down, raised his head to look at the servants standing on both sides, and said, "You guys go down, you don't have to come in without a summons." β
Hearing Jingchen's order, those servants all lowered their heads and retreated in two rows.
Most of these servants were the palace maids and attendants in the palace of the king of Gama, Jingchen did not dismiss them all, but asked people to ask for their own opinions, those who were willing to stay, Jingchen welcomed, and those who did not want to stay, wanted to go home, Jingchen did not object, sent some money to those who wanted to leave, and let those people leave.
As soon as she sat down, Yue Ran smiled and said to Jingchen, "Third Highness, there are still a few days before the celebration will be held, and I came here with Obama today mainly to report to His Highness on the preparations for the celebration and hand over a batch of things sent by various families." β
As the words fell, Yue Ran and Obama each took out a space ring that looked a little different, and with a slight force, the ring slowly flew towards Jingchen. At this moment, it was obvious that the strength of the two was different.
Although Yue Ran has recently made a breakthrough with the help of Jing Chen, and his strength has reached the fifth level of the primary level, but compared with Obama, who has the sixth level of primary strength, Yue Ran's strength is still much worse, and the speed of the ring is not fast, but it is not up to the level of Obama that seems to be in slow motion, but it will not slip down.
Eyes swept over the two, Jingchen reached out and caught the two rings, for the things in the rings, Jingchen did not immediately check, but put the rings on the table on the side, immediately raised his head, looked at the two and smiled, "For this period of time, the two patriarchs have been working hard for me, and I Jingchen will definitely remember it in my heart, and I will have my own rewards in the future." β
This sentence, Jingchen mainly said to Obama, needless to say the relationship between Yueran and Jingchen, Jingchen also delegated most of the power to Yueran, but on the Oba family's side, Jingchen did not give him much power, although it seems that the Oba family also occupies many positions in the newly established lord's mansion, but they are all some less important idle positions, or deputy positions in some important departments, and the power in his hands naturally cannot be compared with the Yue family.
However, out of some kind of balancing act, Jingchen is not without power to the Oba family, the recruits who have just been recruited and incorporated from Gama City during this time are now being handed over to the Oba family for training, of course, this is not that Jingchen does not trust Yueran and the Yue family, it is Yueran who recommends the Oba family to train new troops.
First of all, in the original Gama Kingdom, many members of the Oba family were important members of the military, but later Badros insisted on establishing an empire, and many members of the Oba family retired from military positions; secondly, even if Jingchen did not doubt his Yue family, but Yueran also had to think about himself and the future of the Yue family, once he was a hundred years later, the next patriarch of the Yue family could not maintain such a harmonious relationship with Jingchen, and no one came to check and balance him, if he took care of it, the Yue family was likely to be led to destruction by him, and after working with Jingchen for so long, Jingchen's temper Yue Ran still had some understanding, although Jingchen was not very old, he was definitely a tough masterγ
If he really came to that point, he believed that Jingchen would definitely not take into account Yue Yanran's feelings, and he knew better that in addition to having a good impression of himself and his wife, his daughter did not have a good impression at all, but on the contrary, he was a little disgusted, after all, in order to please the Gama royal family, many people in the family almost forced Yue Yanran to cut off contact with Jingchen and marry Hewitt.
It's just that time has passed, and no one has mentioned this matter anymore.
"What kind of move is this, the power is so powerful, then Jingchen won't ......" Leng Yanle's eyes swept over the people around her, and didn't say any more, in fact, she was not the only one present who had such thoughts, after all, the destructive power of this Yan Feng's move was too powerful, even this ring couldn't withstand it, let alone Jingchen's flesh and blood.
"I don't know, there doesn't seem to be a record of this trick on this information. Suo Yalong was looking through the information that Dean Ling Feng had given them, but he didn't find a move with such a powerful attack in Yan Feng's move record.
"It seems that as the dean said, we should also be careful when it comes to the competition. Uther said slowly, waving the information in his hand, and continued, "After all, this thing was collected in a hurry during this time, and it can only be used as a reference, not a full trust. There was a hint of solemnity in Uthers's tone, originally they didn't care much about Dean Ling Feng's words for reference only, after all, in the Zeus Academy, if there was anything else that could be hidden from the Academy, they would definitely not believe it, and now that they saw with their own eyes the powerful moves that were not recorded in the data, they believed Dean Ling Feng's words in their hearts.
"Yan Feng, you and I will be here today, we will meet again in the competition. The fog cleared, and everyone gradually saw the situation in the ring.
I saw that a huge incision ten meters long and about one meter deep had been split on the huge ring, and Jingchen was standing at the end of this incision, his feet seemed to be suspended above the incision, Yan Feng on the opposite side looked at Jing Chen with an incredible face, just looking at the surprise on his face, it was not difficult to see that even he Yan Feng did not expect this kind of result.
"Level six?!" the emaciated young man wondered not far from the ring, but he vetoed the answer as soon as he said it.
"Third brother, do you think that Jingchen will be a sixth-level powerhouse?"
"No, definitely not, if that Jingchen is a sixth-level powerhouse, there is no need to bother with Yan Feng at all, even if it is just an ordinary sixth-level powerhouse, a hundred Yan Feng must not be his opponents. The emaciated young man affirmed, but then, he wondered, "What is the reason for him to keep his feet in the air? Could it be that he is a wind magician?" Jing Chen's appearance at the moment is indeed very similar to the wind magician's levitation technique, but if Jing Chen really uses the levitation technique, then Jing Chen is not a dual professional, but a triple professional who has never heard of it.
Although theoretically three professions can also exist, but after all, that is just a theory, a person's energy is limited after all, to cultivate three professions at the same time within a limited amount of energy, this is no longer something that ordinary people will choose, or can achieve, even from ancient times to the present tens of thousands of years, I have never heard of the three professions in the world.
"It's not levitation, it's an alternative use of the tendrils. An old voice sounded behind several people, the emaciated young man and others turned their heads to look, only to see an old man in a pale cyan robe pacing slowly, this old man could not see his age, but just from his rickety back and the white eyebrows that could reach the ground, it was not difficult to guess that the old man's age was definitely not young.
"Teacher!" the emaciated boy and his fourth brother bowed to the old man, and the other teenagers also bowed slightly.
"Hmm. The old man nodded, "Gu Zhi, Gu Yong, you two take a good look at the feet of that Jingchen, can you find anything?"
"Feet?!" The emaciated young man Gu Zhi turned his head to look, this time he looked at it seriously and really found something different, only to see that there seemed to be countless tiny vines under Jingchen's feet that were so subtle that they were almost imperceptible, and from a distance, Jingchen seemed to be floating there.
"Is it a vine?!" Gu Zhi's heart trembled at his discovery, he could use natural magic to such an extent, he Gu Zhi thought to himself that he couldn't. And after Gu Zhi's reminder, several teenagers around also noticed the difference under Jingchen's feet, and looked at each other in surprise.
"This Jingchen is too powerful, can he even think of such a method?" Gu Yong also exclaimed, he thought that if he were to be himself, he would definitely not be able to think of it.
"Let's go, if you look at it again, it is estimated that there will be no results, if Jingchen wants to use any tricks, the opportunity was just right just now, and with his eyesight, he will not find it, and it was useless at that time, that is, he doesn't want to continue to fight today." With that, the old man turned around and walked slowly in the direction he had come.
"Old head, long time no see. Mo Lao's voice came from not far away, and with a flash of silver light, Mo Lao's figure had already appeared beside the old man.
"Old fellow, aren't you dead yet?" the rickety long-eyed Gu stopped and raised his eyes to look at Mo Lao.
"You're not dead, how can I die?" said Mo Laohaha, laughing.
"You're not dead yet, so how can I be willing to die?" smiled and shook his head, teasing.
"After so many years, you still haven't changed, and you still retain the way you were when I bent over. Mo Lao's gaze swept over the back of the ancient rickety, and said lightly.
"How dare I forget the greatest shame in my life? I have been reminding myself with this rickety back of the shame you gave back then. "It's as if the old man is talking about something that has nothing to do with him.
"Why ......?"
Before Mo Lao finished speaking, Gu Yi waved his hand and said, "I don't need you to comment on how I do it, first of all, congratulations to your Zeus Academy, this competition has brought such a good student." There was a hint of sarcasm and jealousy in his tone.
"Pry?" Mo Lao looked at Gu suspiciously.
"Don't tell me, this is recruited by your academy in the past three years, such a talented student joined your academy, this must not be a secret, it can't be three years without news, right?"
Mo Lao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, without explaining too much, he was really afraid that if he said that this Jingchen was just a new student recruited this year, this old man would not go crazy with jealousy.
"Let's go!" he said, waving his hand and leaving first, and then the students followed behind him, slowly leaving.
Watching Gu lead the group of the San Bruno Royal Academy slowly away, Mo Lao turned his head to look at the ring again and muttered, "Little guy, you really surprise me." After speaking, he smiled, and the silver light flashed and disappeared in place, and the breeze blew, as if Mo Lao had never appeared.
Hearing Jing Chen's words, Yan Feng slowly raised his head and looked at Jing Chen, who seemed to be suspended in mid-air, his brows were tightly locked, because of the perspective of view, he didn't find that there was actually something under Jing Chen's feet. Seeing this scene, Yan Feng muttered, "Sixth-level powerhouse?" He really couldn't believe that this Jingchen in front of him turned out to be a sixth-level powerhouse, and today, not only did he not achieve the purpose of testing Jingchen, but he did his best to make a move, and on the other hand, looking at Jingchen, he obviously still had some strength left, but at this moment, Yan Feng couldn't guess how much strength Jingchen still had.
"Do you want to leave like this?" Although there was a slight uneasiness in his heart, Yan Feng didn't show it.
"Haha, it's just a competition, how about you win today?" Jing Chen looked at Yan Feng with a smile, his eyes were deep, Yan Feng couldn't see any information from Jing Chen's eyes.
"Hmph. Yan Feng snorted coldly, "You don't need to count the victory or defeat, let's draw it today." Yan Feng also had a mirror in his heart, in fact, the two brothers had already lost this fight, not to mention that his younger brother was played twice by Jingchen just now, even if he didn't take advantage of himself.
"Huh. Jingchen smiled and said, "Then let's do it, you and I are tied today, if we meet in the backbone of the god during the competition, then we will divide the winner and loser." After speaking, he didn't see how Jing Chen behaved, his body just soared into the air and flew away into the distance, and at that moment, the vines that were originally entrenched under his feet were also shattered together, and there was no trace of it.
Seeing Jing Chen's figure shooting into the distance, Yan Feng only felt as if his heart was leaking a fear, although he didn't believe that Jing Chen was already a sixth-level powerhouse, but everything that Jing Chen showed in front of him had to make him believe this, and for a while, Yan Feng's mood was mixed.
"Big brother, ...... Jingchen?" Yan Li jumped into the ring and came to Yan Feng's side.
Yan Feng shook his head with a solemn expression, and said, "Unfathomable, this Jingchen is really unfathomable, go back and tell the brothers, if you encounter this Jingchen in the God's Backbone Competition, you must be careful, and when you see that the situation is not good, quickly crush the space stone." β
"Are you saying that Jingchen will ...... us in the competition?" Yan Li was about to continue, but was stopped by Yan Feng, "It's hard to say, let's be prepared." Saying that, he sighed, Yan Feng jumped out of the ring, Yan Li also followed, and after a while, the two disappeared into the distance.
Seeing that the excitement was over, the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed.
The next few days were nothing challenging to happen, everything was very calm, but this calm gave people a strange oppression, like the calm before the storm.
"Let's go!" he said, waving his hand and leaving first, and then the students followed behind him, slowly leaving.
Watching Gu lead the group of the San Bruno Royal Academy slowly away, Mo Lao turned his head to look at the ring again and muttered, "Little guy, you really surprise me." After speaking, he smiled, and the silver light flashed and disappeared in place, and the breeze blew, as if Mo Lao had never appeared.
Hearing Jing Chen's words, Yan Feng slowly raised his head and looked at Jing Chen, who seemed to be suspended in mid-air, his brows were tightly locked, because of the perspective of view, he didn't find that there was actually something under Jing Chen's feet. Seeing this scene, Yan Feng muttered, "Sixth-level powerhouse?"

"Do you want to leave like this?" Although there was a slight uneasiness in his heart, Yan Feng didn't show it.
"Haha, it's just a competition, how about you win today?" Jing Chen looked at Yan Feng with a smile, his eyes were deep, Yan Feng couldn't see any information from Jing Chen's eyes.
