Chapter 275: Resident Evil
"Young man, I am very optimistic about you, keep working hard."
When the young Baron Matt welcomed us, the smile he had managed to squeeze out was so uncomfortable that it was as if a muscular orangutan was mimicking a girl's smile.
Well, the physical features of this Baron Matt have been leaked, except that he is not covered with black hair, this guy is an erect muscular orangutan from head to tail.
Exactly as the envoys had planned, we only stayed at Baron Matt's palace for one night, but it was enough to do a lot of things, such as collecting black. Money, bribery, extortion.
There is not much time, and the young baron Matt is very good and goes straight to the point, and in front of him is the token volume of the National Bank of Bayer, which has been
Due to the strength of centralized power, the gold coin trade in the Bayer Empire has gradually been replaced by more convenient credit banknotes, and this small gift is enough to have two stacks of paper notes of the largest denomination, at least equivalent to fifty or sixty thousand gold coins, enough to buy a medium-sized estate.
"You're insulting my work ethic."
Having said this, my tone was unusually indifferent, and my eyes were looking elsewhere, which was clearly not looking at people properly, and the meaning was already obvious at the moment-"Where is this enough?" Are you sending beggars? β
Baron Matt gritted his teeth, remembering that although he already had an earl's domain, due to the obstruction of the Elders' Office, it had been three years since he applied for the promotion of his earldom.
At present, if there is no help from the big people in the imperial capital, I am afraid that I will end up being a baron in my life, in case something happens. I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep my own territory and the inheritance of my descendants.
Matt, who was once born as an adventurer, can be said to be self-made. The half-step legend is a well-known warrior and strong player in the surrounding hundreds of miles. He and his companions created a valuable family fortune in their adventurous careers, and earned a territory from scratch as a pioneer knight, which can be regarded as a classic salted fish turning over and getting ahead.
But unfortunately, the nobility valued the tradition of blood and family deep-rooted, the title of "mud leg" baron has never been taken from Matt, the purchased baronial title has not even inherited the right, and the overly rich and broad territory is remembered by the surrounding lords. All kinds of troubles have never stopped, and not having a title that matches the territory has always been his hard wound in the aristocratic system.
After Oros completed the reform of the aristocratic law, all the promotions above the baron must be handled by the noble senate of the national capital, and Matt, who had no military merits and no background, could not pass the approval of the title of Count of GuΓ², and he had seen the brutal war and did not want to gamble with his life to get a comfortable life with his hard work, so he could only stay in the barony and live slowly.
He had consulted scholars who knew the nobility heraldry, and knew his only expectation. Probably to take refuge in some aristocracy and real power who can speak in the national capital, but if those big nobles can take a fancy to him. I'm afraid he won't be ridiculed as a "mud leg" either.
He himself is satisfied with being a gentleman, anyway, with his excellent personal strength and the hammer in his hand, the neighboring lords don't dare to do anything to him, but his son is getting bigger and bigger, if he can't get the inheritance before he becomes an adult, and after his death, this territory will be taken back to the state, how can he be willing to work hard to get to this point.
And today is a once-in-a-lifetime good fortune, the arrival of Rex as the minister of the Imperial Mission and Caroline, the eldest daughter of the duke, has rekindled the ambition of becoming Earl Matt, who is still looking forward to going further.
He had already inquired that the high-ranking undead were now more useful than the Grand Duke in front of the Emperor, and as long as this lich helped to say a few words, his trivial matter in the eyes of the Great Nobles would be solved at once.
Right now, when he saw that the Lich Rex who was the minister of the Imperial Mission was actually too little, Matt, who was stingy for the first time, still felt sad, after all, it meant that he was going to bleed heavily, but more, he was happy, at least this time he gave gifts to others and was willing to accept them, there is a way for this matter.
"Why am I so cheap, and I will be happy if others are willing to take my money."
Of course, this trace of chagrin and remorse will never be expressed, and this joy must be buried in the bottom of his heart, in order not to be slaughtered severely, Matt's face is heartache and chagrin, and even a little hesitant and regretful expression.
But I laughed, this guy is worthy of being born as cannon fodder with muscle sticks, and he can't even act, if you are really heartbroken or hesitant, why don't you just leave, the muscles on your face are about to cramp, and the disguised anger is more fake and more fake.
But I didn't mean to debunk it, otherwise how would I be able to get what I really wanted.
"Sincerity is the most important thing."
I looked thoughtfully at the silver epic war hammer on Matt's waist, and I smiled meaningfully, now, no need to pretend, Matt has really become a bitter gourd face.
γEpic Weapon: Immortal Killerγ
[Attack: 30-30]
[Special Effect 1: Undead Butcher: The undead who are hit have a certain chance of being wiped out directly.] γ
[Special Effect 2 Sacred Sanctuary: Summons a golden sacred realm to resist the invasion of evildoers for thirty seconds, and the forcible intruder will suffer five points of holy light damage per second]
[Effect 3, Effect 4: Cannot be activated because the user is not a warrior of the gods.] γ
[There is a line of silver twisted handwriting on the handle of the hammer: This warhammer once belonged to a true paladin, and only a true holy man can wield the power of this warhammer.] System prompt: There is a sword master improper, do you want to be a hammer saint so much. Comrade Luo Da Hammer. γ
From the bookshelf over there, I actually saw the complete hardcover works of "Tomb Robbery Codex" and "Eighteen Uses of Luoyang Shovel", and I knew how this civilian-born powerhouse got this sacred war hammer, at that moment. I was a little hesitant to sign an autograph for this loyal book lover.
And at the same time as seeing the name of this warhammer. I was determined to get my hands on it.
"My name is the Imperianable. This warhammer is called the Immortal Slayer? It was so unlucky, I sensed the malice of the world. Well, if you get it, you can eat it for Heroise, these abilities are just useful. β
As for whether Heloise, who was once the body of the undead, will eat a bad stomach, it is not considered from the beginning, at least the holy sword "Pale Justice" contains the power of holy light, and Heloise in the past will not be able to swallow it. Just to see if she has become stronger after evolving, I still count on her to continue to fuse and evolve and surpass the real artifact.
But it suddenly occurred to me that lifting Lori to cut people seemed to be some inexplicable ghost animals, but remembering that it was a 10,000-year-old pseudo-young girl, I instantly calmed down again.
"Tremble, mortal, Pink Bunny Sauce will have a new function. Spirits of the undead, your end is near. There is no shame in dying, and dying in front of this artifact is the real humiliation. Well. Tie two more bows at the top of the stick, draw a smiley face, and simply put on a plush toy pink rabbit! β
I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought of my opponent's embarrassment and reluctance to be knocked to death by this thing, and the lich's shrill soul voice echoed through the room, making Matt instinctively shiver, but Heloise was first dissatisfied.
ββ¦β¦ If you dare to play like this, I will dare to lift the transformation when you fight against a strong enemy, the big deal is that the old lady will be naked and photogenic once, so that the reputation of your ghost beast king will spread throughout the plane! β
Well, it still feels very emotional to think that the mace that was cut out suddenly turned into a naked young girl...... Embarrassed, it seems that the dead cat is still undertoned. Teach, I've dismissed this idea for the time being, and the first thing to do now is to blackmail this good warhammer into my hands.
It seems difficult to get a warrior to hand over his personal weapon, or a top warrior of a half-step legend, but at this time Matt is no longer the warrior of five years ago, and the peaceful and wealthy daily life wears out his fighting spirit, and the only hope is probably his own territory and title, and
"Is this really what you're here for? I'll just say why the minister and the duke's daughter came to my remote territory. It seems that if you want to keep this foundation, you can't help but hand it over. β
Matt has actually realized for a long time, and most of his reputation as an undead killer has been earned by this hammer, and while his fame has risen, when the undead have become one of the mainstream forces in this country, he will naturally attract a lot of inexplicable hostility and cause trouble.
This is the same as holding a series of dragon slaying equipment in front of a giant dragon and wearing dragon skin armor, which is definitely the ending of pulling monsters with your face, and it is not normal to not die.
"Can't you hide it? I don't know, it's a good thing to hand it over now! At least it shows my attitude. β
Finally, he reluctantly glanced at the fine war hammer on his waist, and carefully placed it on the ground, of course the lich did not dare to touch this holy hammer, and the female knight behind the lich immediately picked up this heavy hammer.
She couldn't help but caress the hammer body, and as soon as the crystal war hammer touched the other party, it began to exude a silver brilliance, exuding an inexplicable aura of fighting spirit, perhaps, because she felt that the old master had been lonely for too long, and looked forward to the day when she returned to the battlefield as soon as possible.
"Paladin? No, how could a knight who believed in the Holy Light come together with a lich, it should be a holy warrior of some god. β
Matt quickly put his doubts behind him, and most importantly, the lich was not satisfied with his sincerity, and now he could not get the knighthood.
In a sense, this is also the sadness of the twilight hero, who can start from scratch to this film, maybe he was not afraid of the sky and the earth when he was a teenager and a young man, but when he really had a warm family and enough wealth, he lost the courage to dare to fight.
If he was still in the adventurous period, a nobleman dared to snatch the wealth in his war hammer and purse, he would have been covered by the hammer of the storm, and as for the evil nobles who were corrupt and bent the law and bullied the commoners, they would kill one and clean up the other, and if they encountered a big one, they could also fight and run.
is the legendary lich in front of him, if Matt himself was in his heyday, he would dare to call on his comrades to go together to kill demons. But alas. Now I actually want to flatter each other. Send a bribe.
Sometimes life is so ironic, but when he reached the prime of life, he not only became a member of the aristocracy, but also took the initiative to give away his treasures, just asking for the noble title that he couldn't look down on in the past to be raised a little higher, so as to shade his wife and son.
Matt shook his head, leaving all his thoughts behind, he couldn't miss this opportunity. The hot-blooded heroes of the past struggled to remember how the corrupt officials and bad businessmen they despised curry favor with others, and then, trying to squeeze out a flattering smile, the kneecaps that were not hit by the arrow were bent deeply.
I, on the other hand, just smiled, didn't bother to pay attention to this, and just motioned for Yawen to put away the war hammer.
"It would be best if you could understand, and if you also die, I would like to introduce you to one of us. By the way, you know that Ms. Caroline has a special love for adventure stories. In particular, the adventurer's notes and hand-drawn maps are treasures that she has been looking for. If so, it wouldn't be too hard to get this lady to speak for you. β
The adventurer's diary, even if it is a record of past adventures, is a symbol of the glory of the past, but since even the weapons that were used as the root of life have been given away, these souvenirs of former glory are nothing, and soon, with the manuscript of a cart and geographical information, I returned satisfied. οΌ
In fact, this information, especially the hand-drawn maps of veteran adventurers, is my goal, and the hammer is just knocked down by hand, of course, if a real lich is here, the first thought of seeing this hammer is probably to kill Matt directly.
The dismissal of those entourages too quickly, while delaying the time to show the horse's feet, but also depriving us of a guide, if we follow the established route, it is not a big problem, but it is far from enough to meet my goal, no one can escape when still only take the pipe.
As a "competent" daughter, Caroline would be a hell if she knew the geographical environment or carried a map with her, and in this era, maps and city coordinates are actually military secrets, and even drawing and studying maps are professionals, and it is basically difficult for the people to get them.
But I know that there is a special profession that will try to get the most comprehensive map, even the secret paths and paths that are not on the official map, and will also mark the threat level and precautions in various places for easy use.
Well, in fact, there is no need to guess, it is naturally a professional adventurer who has no fixed place, when it comes to mobility, I am afraid that there are few professions comparable to them, no map, no compass, no intelligence support, even if you don't bring enough food and fresh water, go out on an adventure, then it's not an adventure, but looking for death.
The veteran adventurer's private adventure notes and atlas are more detailed than any official source of information, and I would like to get a copy anyway for the sake of the escape route that I may encounter in the future when I am hunted down.
By the way, due to the vastly different nature of each adventurer, the bias points of their adventurer's logs are also completely different, for example, the journal of a certain dragon is basically a travel journal of fine wine and food in various places, as well as the timetable and map of the harvest of new grain and wine in various places, which is definitely a treasure pursued by drunkards.
For some special reasons, my personal travel diary is basically a running account that deliberately reduces the emotional factor, although the amount of information is huge, it is boring and makes people want to sleep when they read it.
The goblin adventurer's journal can be used as a guide to the local trader, and the orc adventurer's journal is full of fights, kills, and kills, Adam...... How can a muscle stick have a head to write a journal.
Although Matt in front of me is also a muscular club, it seems that his wife and fellow adventurer are very careful, and the diary is very detailed, and there are many legends and historical records in it, which is just what I urgently need to add.
Of course, I didn't deceive this old and old adventurer, at least I didn't give a promise, I just simply accepted the gift, it was completely his own misunderstanding Okay, seeing that he is so good, I did casually talk to Caroline, she can do this kind of trivial thing she can do with a note, as long as she can return to the imperial capital at that time, the reason why she is still a little uncertain is that I see the current trend, she will probably elope with Lilith.
And when I was still sitting and planning for the future route, the dead cat suddenly came to me, and there was still a rare seriousness on his face.
"Roland. There's something you're going to see. This time the other party played big. Arguably. More than you played back then. βββ
In the backyard of Baronial Matt's palace there was a large open space in which a large amount of grain was piled up, and in one of the storerooms, Heloise wanted to show me the grain that could be found everywhere.
The golden wheat still had the frost of winter, and it was cold to the touch, and in my eyes, it was no different.
"What's wrong? There's something wrong with that. β
"Don't you think there's something wrong with the grains you've eaten during this time? It has a special sweetness taste. Originally, I thought it was the special smell caused by the water and soil here, so I took a look at the situation of the grain, and it turned out to be."
I opened the storehouse, tore open the ears of wheat, put the grains in front of me, put them in my mouth, chewed them slowly, and savored them
"It's a little bit of a peculiar sweetness, but it's kind of familiar, like, like"
It's already on the lips. But I never remembered, in my impression
"Casoran's tears?"
"Hmmm! That's the smell and wait. Tears of Casoran! That's the best touch of necromancy! β
The heroic silk turned into a human form, the golden grain twisted in the hand, turned into a fine powder, and then purified with a series of instruments, added auxiliary drugs, stirred, fused, and finally left at the bottom of the bottle, some gray-black solvent.
And she handed it to me, and I drank it all in one gulp, feeling the slightly excited death power in my body, and the conclusion was already out.
"You can't be wrong about the smell of Casoran's Tears, which has been replenished by the mana consumption of those skeletons during the day. This bottle of Casoran's blessing is at least a fine-grade potion. The quality of this Casoran Tear is quite high. β
The Tears of Casoran itself is non-toxic and harmless, but the potion made from it as the main ingredient is the blessing of the necromancer's favorite, which is a good medicine to restore the magic of death, and can also gradually change the constitution of the drinker, enhance the ability to control the undead magic, it is simply the favorite of the necromancer.
The pure Tears of Casoran had long been forbidden in the Templar Church, and it was not easy to cultivate, and if all these foods were contaminated by it, it could never be accidental, and vaguely, I seemed to see the existence of a great conspiracy.
Perhaps the Tears of Casoran itself are not poisonous, but as the best touch of undead magic, among many great spells and forbidden spells, its existence is indispensable, and I absolutely do not believe that the conspirators would pay so much Casoran just to improve the taste of the grain.
"Is all the food here contaminated? Damn, that necromancer is so crazy? What is he going to do? β
Heloise shook her head.
"I've already asked, these grains have just been harvested from the surrounding fields, and no one has been in contact with them along the way except the farmers, and they were just put into the warehouse yesterday."
"How is that possible, wait, is it the source?"
I was amazed and disbelieving, if it was what I had guessed, I am afraid that this would be too much of a done.
"Yes, I asked, the seeds of these grains are high-quality seeds sent from the imperial capital, and the average harvest is two layers higher than in the past, and it has spread all over the country, and many people have been eating it for more than ten years."
After eating Casoran's Tears for ten years in a row, then this person's affinity for necromancer magic will reach that level, are they planning to mass-produce necromancers, no, there is another possibility, this is a trick that has been circulated among high-level necromancers.
Heloise apparently guessed this possibility, but she hesitated a little, after all, such a conclusion was too crazy.
"You should know that necromancers who have consumed Casoran's Tears for a long time are more than twice as likely to transform into high-level creatures that maintain their wisdom after death."
"I'll go! That madman did this kind of thing. β
"It is said that the Emperor of the Dead is all crazy, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it."
The plot only mentions that the Bayer Empire quickly fell into the undead Scourge, but I didn't expect that there are so many twists and turns in it, if the Undead Plague is activated here, the entire Bayer Empire will become the land of the undead, how crazy it must be to do this kind of thing.
