Chapter 349: Doug's Legacy
What is the difference between such a prophecy and an oath? Doug, the wise man who was born and raised in Wilana, ultimately chose to sacrifice his family of three to protect this beautiful island.
Doug's house in the wilderness was not far from his graveyard, with a low fence surrounding a small courtyard and three rooms, which were dilapidated but rather neat in appearance. Next to the small door of the fence stands a brand new wooden sign: for Lord Twilight Orange, who helped all of Velana.
The guard explained: "People know that the Doug family is all dead, and with this sign, no one will come and take away the items that still have use value or commemorative significance." β
Three rooms, like ordinary poor people, with a living room and a kitchen, a bedroom, and a pharmacy. The pharmacy is similar to Zhang Xing's pharmacy in Nanshan Bandit Village, with some jars and jars on the table, as well as a copy of "Identification of Villana's Local Herbs". Su Cheng took the book.
The living room is furnished with benches and tables handmade by the owner, and unlike the average family, there is a sketch on the wall, a young couple smiling happily on a piece of paper, and a woman holding a child in her arms. Take a look at the signature: A family portrait from SDL to Doug.
When the guard saw that Lord Twilight had been looking at the painting for a long time, he stepped forward and explained, "This is a gift from Sandra to Doug." Looking at the time, it should have been painted seven or eight years ago. Little Doug was still in his mother's arms. β
"I want to take this painting. Let my friend copy a copy, and this one will be burned to Doug as a sacrifice next time. β
The guard was noncommittal: "This is already your property." β
Doug's bedroom is quite comfortable, with a carved headboard bed and a small bed showing the owner's wealth, and the bed is piled with all kinds of kneaded furs. There is also a high-end dressing table on one side of the queen bed. The hostess is clearly a beauty-loving figure. And when the male owner was poor, he never sold this woman's love thing, which shows that the relationship between the two is very deep.
Su Cheng didn't want to flip here anymore: "Let's go, Brother Bing." Let's go check out Doug's cabin in town. β
The guard was stunned: "My lord, I think I should take away some things that are easy to mold...... It's better to give it away than to put it here! I don't think you will stay here for long. β
These skins are not worth a few bucks, and it is better to buy them than to keep them. Su Cheng put away the skins one by one according to his words: "Take it and give it to those who need it......" Before the words fell, a piece of paper fell from the skin.
The piece of paper fell at the guard's feet, and the guard picked it up casually: "Sylwartz's medicinal wine recipe has also been smeared!" After reading it, he handed it to Lord Twilight: "Would you like to take a look?" β
Su Cheng was stunned, Sylvoz medicinal wine recipe? Could it be the medicinal wine that regenerates oneself? He was in Monroe's hands at the time, and observed the whole process of Sandra using the rebirth potion to save himself from the perspective of a soul. After taking the recipe, the piece of paper was complete, except that the last line of the recipe was painted black, and no one could guess what was originally written here. Looking up, the first item is the drink itself: Hellworth, the spirit of Wilana Estate. The names of the herbs in the row below are also clearly written, but unfortunately none of them are known to Su Cheng. Further down, the heart of the molten fire - I have two pieces of this. Two flowers, 5 grams each of flowers and leaves (double the amount of fresh). What does it mean to be a little more alive? Stumped to mix this medicinal wine, still need the player to put a little bit of life? To the right of the recipe is a row of large purple letters: "Sylwards Medicated!" "This incomplete recipe is still purple! Su Cheng couldn't estimate the value of this remnant at all. He put away the remnants: "This is a good souvenir!" Would you like to show me Doug's house in town? β
The street is still the same street, different from when Qijian first came to Wilana, although the people on both sides of the street are still busy with their own work, but they already have a smile on their faces, no longer that insensitive expression, seeing unfamiliar people coming and going on the street, the vendors will open their voices and shout: "Fresh plantains, mangoes, a copper plate and a small bag!" "Broken gems, I haven't identified, a handful of silver coins, definitely earn!" Gems are a precious resource in any game. Although Boss Su had gold coins, he had never seen this kind of material. He stepped forward, only to see the peddler squatting on the ground, in front of him a leather pocket is half open, inside are large and small stones, the largest is the size of a fist, the smallest is like a grain of rice, flipping a few large stones, you can see a certain side of the stone showing a little bit of colored light, as for opening the stone, how many large gems can be inside, it is estimated that only God knows. The finely broken stones are distinctly different, not only in bright colours, but also in some of them that can even refract a dazzling glow. "Why don't you make it look better? You can sell it at a higher price! Su Cheng picked up a fist-sized stone and flipped it to observe.
The peddler, who was about forty or fifty years old, with a sad face, ragged clothes, and mud on his trouser legs and shoes, tried to squeeze out a smile when he saw someone asking for a price: "These are all picked up by my son!" He has the ability to identify some of the most rudimentary gemstones. But we can't afford more advanced mining equipment except for a pickaxe and a shovel. Look at these gems β this one is broken, but it's of high quality! If you buy this handful for one silver coin, you can earn several times as much wherever you go! β
The gem trade was unheard of, and the statement of making several times more money made Su Cheng disdainful. He knew in his heart that no matter what the function of these gems was, with the gimmick of the first gem trade in Bluestone City or even Frost City and Twilight Continent, these gems could be sold for tens or hundreds of times the price! Lord Twilight pulled out a gold coin, "I want all these gems." Go, your son, call! Let's talk about it and see if we can make a long-term deal! β
Seeing that the guest had put away a bag of gravel and turned to leave, the vendor hurriedly shouted, "Where is my son looking for you?" β
Another gold coin was thrown over: "You two are selling new clothes, just wait for me here!" β
When I came to Doug's small faΓ§ade room, a middle-aged man with a fat physique was wandering around the door, and he sighed from time to time looking at the notices posted on the door.
The guard said to Su Cheng, "This is the hut." Debes, what are you doing here? β
Debis sweated: "My lord, this room is what I gave to Doug to make a living." Now that Doug is dead, how did the house become Lord Twilight's estate? β
The guard glanced at Twilight Orange, and before he could speak, Debis bowed to the Lord, "Lord Lord, this room is a gift from Doug by me. But I'm a businessman, and I'm only willing to give my property to those I know! Can you give me back this room? I've heard that you and Master Doug are good friends! β
When Monroe was in charge of the island's economy, such a small house facing the street was of little use except for a little turnover for the hawkers, and it was not a pity to give it away. Now that Sandra is at the helm of Velena, those who know her well know that Verana will usher in a long and rapid development. In this case, the house facing the street, no matter how big or small, will be a stable source of money. Debis wants to repossess the house, which shows that this man's business vision is very vicious. Su Cheng didn't want to worry about these things with him: "Thank you for helping Doug when he was in danger." I'll give it back to you right away! First, though, I'm going to examine Doug's relics! β
Debis breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said, "You are so merciful! Your request is very reasonable. β
Entering the hut, a rancid smell came to my face. Seeing that the two NPCs were covering their noses, Su Cheng knew that the taste here was very bad: "You guys go out." I'll just take a look. β
Rotting were the fruit and a few handfuls of greens that Doug had not been able to sell. Su Cheng looked the same, and directly put the garbage that needed to be cleaned into his backpack, ready to throw it away after going out.
The room was very small, Su Cheng cleaned up in twos and threes, and found no useful clues, he took down a bag on the wall and found that it was full of dried mushrooms, and Doug really became a grocery buyer. On the wall behind the bag are also written a few small words: blood of the royal family......
This is another puzzle. Su Cheng looked at it for a long time, took out the remnants of Sylwartz's medicinal wine, compared it with the handwriting on the wall, and determined that it was written by one person. He took this to heart, picked up a rag, and wiped the handwriting off the wall. Call the guards and Debis in: "The vegetables Doug left behind are rotten, and I put them in my backpack." Throw it away later. Debes, thank you so much for taking care of Doug. You see if there is any damage to the house, I will compensate! β
Debis was also humorous: "It's still the same, it's just a little bit more, I guess you can't help it!" β
The guard was displeased: "What's more?" If you don't want it, just throw it out! β
Debis laughed: "One more stench!" I can solve this problem by opening the window for two days! Don't bother with two adults! β
In front of Debes, Lord Twilight personally tore up the sign posted outside the door: "Thank you again for your help to Doug!" You're a businessman, right? β
Debis nodded: "Your lord's eyes are like torches!" I also have two storefronts on this street, a tavern and a herb shop! If you have time to come to my restaurant, try the specialties of Velana, the first meal, report my name, free order! β
Do you also buy herbs? Su Cheng couldn't help but look at Debis twice: "If you have the chance, you must go!" I have some other things to ask you about herbs in the Velana estate! β
Velana produces gems and herbs, and is a place worth visiting. But how do you get in and out of Veranna?
The guard laughed, "I've always been a little angry with you, because I didn't see your willingness to return to Wilena!" It's easy to do, now that you have a property on Velena Island, you can apply for Velena citizenship from the Queen! It will be very easy to get in and out of Vilana in the future! β
When Sandra heard that Lord Twilight was willing to become a resident of Velana, Sandra was overjoyed, "I can see that you, like Rambo, are destined to be a man who will wander around looking for opportunities to make a difference. Velana can't trap you, but becoming a resident of Velana means you have to take on a certain responsibility for Velena! Of course, Velana will also be a haven for you to rest after you are tired. Would you like to? Staring into the Lord's eyes, she increased the price: "With your previous military exploits for Wilena, I can canonize you as the barony of Wilena!" Wilana's baronial and viscount titles are all recognized by the Holy Alliance, Twilight Continent, Dark Dawn, and Wild Rise! β
In the five continents, no one can cross the borders of each other, except for special missions. So what's the point of having a nobility recognized by the four continents? Twilight Continent recognizes, but it can help you determine your official status and tilt towards the military position. Su Cheng remembered that in the real world, there are still boundaries between countries and continents, but the flow of people is almost global, not to mention the wood market, it is Little Rock City, and during the diamond mining period, you can often see diamond industry related personnel of all colors wandering the streets. Velana ...... Stumped that Veranna is not in the map range of Twilight Continent? The inhabitants of Vilana are mostly black, but there are also Incas and a small number of whites, but there are no yellows! In addition, the Veranna mission is the inheritance mission of the mercenary organization death squad, and it is definitely worthy of the word 'special mission'. Looking at Sandra's smile, Twilight Orange no longer hesitated, "I am willing to become a resident of Velena, take on the obligation to help Velana develop, and enjoy the rights and interests of Velana!" By the way, Your Excellency, I won't lose my rights in my hometown, will I? β
Sandra laughed, "It depends on whether or not you insist on doing your duty to the inhabitants of Twilight!" Okay, I'm going to draft the canonization resolution. You can rest assured that with your recent exploits, it will be enough to support you to become an important person in Wilena! Your access to Velana will also be very convenient - just confirm Velena's title in a private place when you are not in combat, choose to go, and you will appear in your fiefdom with Velena! β
These words confirmed Su Cheng's guess that Wilana was not on the map of Twilight Continent. He pondered: "Your Highness, where will my fief be?" "With Velana, his name for Sandra also needs to change.
Sandra said, "You are the first adventurer, an outsider, to accept the canonization of Velana. Hehe, even if Monroe was in power for Vilana that day, he didn't do this. Well, as long as it's a place where there are no people, you can choose a hundred miles of land - you'll have to bear the cost of building it! β
"I remember that the two outposts leading to the crater were in the middle of nowhere. I'll choose the second outpost! It just so happened that I was tasked with destroying the Flame Giants! The royal family can oversee this task at any time, and they must also give me timely tips! β
Of course, Sandra knew the importance of the Molten Heart, and she also knew that without the power of her own bloodline, it would be an impossible task to configure the Rebirth Medicinal Wine, and she was also aware of the pressure that the Healing Medicinal Liquor would bring to herself. So she was surprised that Baron Twilight had chosen this place as a fiefdom: "In that case, you will have to bear the volcanic disaster alone." Are you confident? β
"I have the right to form my own guard, right?"
"The Baron's Guard, there can be twelve people in the size of a military position. Ten privates, one private, one corporal! Escorts are limited to Wilana, leaving Verana only to one person, and an additional salary is required. As for personal guards, it's up to you to make money! I'll give you one more privilege, you can name your own fiefdom, which is the name of your title! β
It's a privilege, albeit a one-off! "How's Twilight Orange?"
"Yes!" Sandra quickly signed the book and handed the scroll to Twilight Orange, "Your canonization paperwork!" β
Su Cheng took it casually, but heard the waiter next to him reprimand: "Bold, you should kneel down on one knee to accept the canonization!" β
Sandra waved her hand: "Forget it, for this, we have lost a chance to canonize a legend!" Do you want to make Wilana lose a second legend? β
The waiter took a step back, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Baron Twilight's strength is still far from the legend!" β
Sandra snorted: "In my eyes, the legend may not be the end of him. Record it truthfully! β
The waiter's face turned pale. He never imagined that Baron Twilight could have such potential in the eyes of the Queen. Offending a future legend - this is a decision that no king dares to make lightly. He glanced at Baron Twilight, bowed his head, and replied, "Yes." β
Rambo entered through the side door: "The canonization ceremony is too simple. When the nobles arrive at Vilena, they will feel that the price is dropped! β
"That's not why you refused to be canonized in the first place!" Thinking back on all these things, Sandra thought about it and felt dissatisfied.
The corners of Lan Bo's mouth pulled upward: "I will not bow to anyone!" Not even a god, let alone your father? Besides, there is no need to be canonized, if you are in trouble, I will come non-stop! After showing affection, Rambo turned to Baron Twilight: "Although I admire you, I am not confident in your strength, and I will do my best to train your two men." How can you repay me? β
This is not a threat, nor is it a dumb puzzle. Su Cheng dummed through the clues at hand, guessing that Lan Bo knew the secret of the Rebirth Elixir, and also knew that this potion required Sandra to make some sacrifices. So what Blue Wave needs in return is not to involve Sandra in the configuration of this potion. Su Cheng looked at Sandra's somewhat confused appearance again, knowing that Sandra didn't know that her bloodline also had this ability. Then keep it hidden, it's a win-win-win result anyway. "I know that not only will I defend the crater, but I will not let the Molten Heart appear in the eyes of the people of Velena."
It's kind of an agreement.
Hearing the 'Molten Heart', Sandra understood a little, and looked at Lan Bo with more and more gentle eyes.
"Your Majesty, regarding the construction of the territory, I will draw up a plan for you to see. Leave! "Changing to the title of Baron Velena, there are two options for the title consequence: go to Velana (gray), return to the starting point (green), click back to the starting point, a soft light surrounds Twilight Orange, and when the light dissipates, Twilight Orange appears in the Mercenary Hall of Bluestone City.
System Announcement: "Congratulations to Lord Twilight Orange of the Twilight Continent for receiving the title of Baron of Twilight Orange of the Holy Alliance Duchy of Velana, whose fief is located in the Wildfire Village in the territory of the Holy Alliance Duchy of Velana." The title is recognized by the Holy Alliance, Twilight Continent, Dawn of Darkness, and Rise of the Wild. The player will receive tax-free prices for purchases made on the four continents mentioned above. When this player fights other people on the four continents, any form of attack will be increased by one percent! β
Close the non-friend information in the chat window, and Su Cheng briefly described how he got the knighthood on the mercenary channel. Of course, when he got the recipe for Sylwards' medicinal wine, he would only state it in the core group. "Velana's mission is over. The main tasks of the next step of the studio are two things: one is to ask the production profession to combine the advantages of the guild to formulate a development plan for Velana. The second is to accelerate the upgrade and team run-in while controlling the dynamics of the Kirgiz space, and prepare for the Kunur Khan King. The first thing was led by Bai Yiyi and Sister Rose. Those who are about to enter the Kyrgyz space will take turns to send two people into the Kirgiz to help the Kyrgyz people establish a base in the mountains and become familiar with the terrain in the mountains. β
The team entered the Yuqi Pagoda Stone again, marched from the foothold to the mountain for about half an hour, and found the village set up by the Baishan Buick under a dangerous cliff, and Baron Twilight led the people in, but did not even see a single sentry. The stockade is small, with a capacity of about 100 people, and a dozen groups of women sit in an open area sewing clothes. If you look closely, you can see that children are actually wearing very small costumes, shoes and socks. Of these dozen or so pregnant women, three or five have already become pregnant. Seeing a stranger coming in, these pregnant women shouted in a panic: "Someone is coming, go and call Baishan Buick and Ayilula!" β
At this time, Aida came out of the yurt: "Don't shout, this is Lord Twilight who has come from afar to help usβmy lord, you are already a baron?" β
Twilight Orange's face was frosty: "Go, White Mountain Buick and Ayilula shout!" Thirty breaths less, I'll kick them out of here!" β
Aida was already pregnant, and when she heard this, she hurriedly pushed the woman next to her: "You go!" Hurry up! Tell them that the baron is coming...... "The woman was still in good shape, and trotted away."
"Your Excellency, are you angry?" Aida asked boldly.
Baron Twilight didn't reply, and when he saw Baishan Buick and Ayilula rushing over, he snorted heavily: "You two are very comfortable!" Look at these women! Take a closer look! Their husbands have given them to you along with their childrenβat least two lives! What are you doing? Go to bed? Drink? I don't need such people! What I need is a man who can carry a knife and fight to the death for the safety of my loved ones! It's a wolf! It's an eagle! I don't need a bleating flock to help me! β
The two looked at each other and hung their heads. Baishan Buick asked: "My lord, what are your dissatisfaction with us, please tell us directly!" As long as it makes sense, we will definitely change! We...... We've never done anything like that! β
"Haven't done it? When the sheep graze, the head sheep will look around. When the geese are sleeping, there is also one that is always awake! What about you? Isn't it even as good as a sheep? Eight of us came in, and none of you knew! What will you do if the people of Kunur Khan come? Waiting for them to kill all these women and burn down these yurts? β
