"Good night, Lord Sulu."

"Good night, Kailin."

As the door closed, Sulu was the only one left in the European-style room.

At this time, there was no trace of sleepiness in Sulu's mind, and his eyes were glued to the obscure magic books on the desk, his eyes flickering, making people wonder what was going on in his mind.

"Vilun Continent, it seems to be Velon's 186th year now, fortunately...... The battle of hell hasn't happened yet. ”

Sulu turned his head to look out the window, and said with some happiness on his face.

According to the plot of the game in his memory, the Salol Empire in which he lived was not very peaceful, with the seizure of power by the royal family and the rebellion of the nobles......

What's even more terrifying is that in the near future, the gates of hell will be broken, and the demons will return to the continent of Velon, bringing endless calamity and death.

It's just that that's 10 or 20 years away.

Before that, there was plenty of time for him to prepare any plans.

Suru didn't think about stopping the destruction of the Gates of Hell on his own, as long as he found an ancient refuge, he could easily get through that period.

However, he has a problem that needs to be solved urgently............ Invasion from the town of Gale next door.

According to the news from the adventurers a few days ago, Gale seems to be preparing to occupy the area near Blackstone.

Gale Town, is a small town.

It is owned by Viscount Quinn, a greedy old man known as the Rotten Toad.

Soon after Sulu's father's death, Viscount Quinn had the idea of swallowing the town of Blackstone.

This is not groundless, according to the memory of the original owner of this body, Viscount Quinn once sent someone to discuss the transfer of the territory, but was rejected by "Sulu", and there was no room for negotiation.

Although Viscount Quinn didn't make any moves after that, everyone believed that the greedy old guy wouldn't just give up.

"Alas...... Obviously you have a nice town in your hands, why do you still think about this shabby town with less than a hundred people? ”

Sulu reached out and rubbed his aching head, and said helplessly.

Since Blackstone is located on the edge of the forest, there are no caravans passing through and no trade, so it has always been very poor, and the townspeople can only rely on hunting to make ends meet.

Gale Wind, on the other hand, was in a good location, stuck in the middle of some caravan trade routes, and over time it became an important trading point.

Because of these factors, Gale is the wealthiest territory in the vicinity of Venomara.

Compared to Blackstone Town's guards of only a dozen people, Gale Town's lineup can only be described as luxurious, with a neatly equipped army of two thousand people, it is hard to believe that a viscount has such a powerful military force.

And the Salol Empire doesn't care about the struggle between the petty nobles at all, even if you fight to the death, as long as the scale does not expand, they will not interfere.

Although Sulu was able to abandon the territory, he didn't want to do so, as it was his only place to live.

"No, maybe there's a way to fix it......"

Just when Sulu felt a huge headache, something suddenly occurred to him.

Now he is not the "lord" who had nothing, as long as he finds a way to unleash Ragnaros, the king of the fire demons, he can easily destroy the entire town of Gale in just one hour.

"Yes, now we have to find a way to get as many soul points as possible, even if you can't summon Ragnaros, you can summon other helpers."

Su Lu slapped his palm suddenly, and suddenly felt that the troubles in his mind immediately disappeared.

There are two ways to get Soul Points:

One is to capture the revenant soul who is less threatening, and his skills have a suppressive advantage over the soul.

The second is to capture powerful creatures directly, which will earn relatively more soul points in this way, but the danger will also increase.

"Forget it, let's be safe."

Su Lu hesitated again and again, and finally chose the first method, after all, he was not a master of more than 100 levels in the game in his previous life.

And the point is, he knows that a place where he can collect a large number of undead is near Venomara, and although it will be a little dangerous, it will be much less difficult than catching other creatures.

"Well, let's just decide, I'll go to that place tomorrow morning...... The sooner the better! ”

A bright light flashed in Sulu's pupils, and he muttered in a low voice.

Just as he was about to blow out the candles, he suddenly felt as if a gaze was staring at him from the window.

Su Lu was shocked and hurriedly looked back.

Crow?

When Sulu turned around, he saw a pitch-black crow lying on a branch outside the window, its scarlet pupils staring straight at him.

The crow seemed to sense Sulu's gaze, croaked a few times, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

Two black feathers fell from it and slowly floated down onto the windowsill.

“………………”

Sulu looked at the dark night sky and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

That crow from before was just a coincidence?

He felt that the guy seemed a little like a human, especially the strange look in his eyes.

Maybe...... It's just my delusion.

"Let's sleep, we have business to do tomorrow."

Sulu shook his head, blew out the flickering candle, closed his sway, and slowly fell asleep.

But he didn't know that the crow had left the branch outside the window and flew straight towards an abandoned house north of Blackstone.

Nothing to say all night............

The next day, when Sulu woke up, he went straight to find the old butler Battier.

Because he needed a horse to get to the planned place, and now he didn't have the in-game teleportation skills, it would take a long distance to get anywhere.

"Lord Sulu, do you need to go somewhere?"

The gray-haired old butler asked suspiciously, leading a gray horse.

This old man is the old butler of the Lancelot family, who has been a housekeeper here since Sulu's father's time, and he is quite good at work, and he helps to handle the affairs of the town.

"I just want to go to some places, but I don't think I'll be back tonight."

Old Battier sighed, handed the reins of his horse to Sulu, and said earnestly, "Really? So please be careful, Lord Sulu, it's not very safe in the vicinity recently. ”

"Lord Sulu, don't you really need to bring some guards?"

The maid, Karin, also stood aside, looking at him with a worried look on her face.

"Well, I'll do it alone."

Sulu replied lightly and turned on his horse neatly.

Although he had never ridden a horse in his previous life, this body had a certain memory, so it was not difficult to control a horse.

"Alas...... Will he really be able to inherit here? If I can't, I can only do everything I can to protect him from leaving, after all, he is the son of the old master. ”

Old Bartier glanced back at the somewhat dilapidated Lancelot Mansion, shook his head, and walked slowly back into the room.

"Blackstone Town...... It's really poor, if it weren't for the lord here, I would have thought this was a refugee camp. ”

However, after driving his horse away from home, Sulu went straight to the town's main road.

Along the way, you can clearly see a large number of dilapidated houses, more like a dilapidated ruins than a small town.

Perhaps, he should find a way to change the town.

"Alas......"

Sulu sighed helplessly and continued to move forward.

As for his destination, the Hill of Death south of Venomara is also known as the necromancer's paradise.

The reason why that place is called "Necromancer's Paradise" is because it has their favorite ghosts, corpses, and dark magic materials, and it is literally a free paradise.

But there is an unwritten rule that anyone who is not a necromancer will be hunted down by all necromancers.

Sulu just wanted to disguise himself as a necromancer and get through the tricks.

So before leaving, he also asked Kailin for a black cloak that covered his body, as well as some suggested weapons and armor, and even brought the only third-order magic scroll of the Lancelot family.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually sounded on the forest path.

The entrance to Death Hill is not far from Blackstone Town, only a few kilometers away from the branch line, and he is now out of Blackstone's territory, and in about two hours, he will be able to reach the entrance to Death Hill.

Of course, all this is premised on him not encountering any accidents.

For example, now Sulu is in trouble that will delay his trip, only to see that not far in front of him was stopped by more than a dozen guys in armor.

Judging from the different styles of armor on their bodies, these guys are not armies, but some mercenaries.

It's not uncommon for mercenaries to rob travelers of their money.

Thinking of this, Sulu couldn't help but slow down the horse's advance, ready to turn around and flee at any time.

"Hey, that guy up front, stop if you want to live, and take the damn hood off your head."

Mark put his palm on the hilt of his sword with a solemn expression, and shouted at the black-robed man who was slowly approaching not far away.

Their mercenary group is on an extremely dangerous mission today, and they can't let their guard down at every moment, especially those mysterious guys wrapped in black robes.

Suddenly, the black-robed man began to slow down and approach them.

"Alert ......"

Mark secretly winked at his companion and prepared to draw his sword.

As long as they are sure that the other person is their target, they will kill that guy immediately.

"Excuse me...... What's the matter? ”

At this moment, the black-robed man stopped his progress and took off the hood from his head, revealing a childish face.

Seeing this face, all the mercenaries secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were rejoicing in something.

"Well, now you can go. It's just that I need to give you a proposal, it's not safe in front of you, so if you don't want to die, turn back quickly. ”

Mark glanced at the black-robed man's face for a few moments, then made way for a path he could pass.

"Thank you."

The black-robed man did not hesitate, and immediately drove the horse slowly and disappeared from the field of vision of the mercenaries.

"Hey, boss, isn't that guy really the necromancer we're hunting?"

"No, he's just a normal person, he doesn't have the dead air of those guys at all."

"Damn, forgot...... I should have extorted a sum of money from that guy. ”

But none of these mercenaries noticed that the black-robed man saw the mercenary badge on their bodies, his pupils contracted slightly, and then a brief look of shock appeared on his face.
