Wren walked back as he checked the elements in his phone's interface.

The Dragon Power Technique and the Thorn Electric Armor have all been upgraded to the third ring.

The spells of the middle-level wizards can only reach the three rings at the highest, and they can't go any further, and the soul power consumed by these two spells is not much, accounting for only thirty percent, and more than sixty percent of the soul power is invested in the "swift" element.

Wren found that "speed" is the same as "strength", and this basic element is more difficult to reinforce.

Sixty percent of the soul power provided by a legendary wizard only strengthened "Swiftness" from level four to more than half of level six, which is still a rare element.

In addition, "Running at Speed" has been upgraded to level 4, which is a Rare element.

This is the only common element of its own, and now, all of it is at least the rarity level.

The speed of the sixth level makes Wren's speed go to the next level, his feet are light, his movements are dexterous, and every step can be taken extremely far, like the wind under his feet, helping him move forward.

Even if he didn't have to run with all his might, Wren knew his current speed, which was faster than that of a high-level shadow warrior.

"I finally made up for my speed weakness. ”

Wren was extremely happy, as his speed increased, the previous feeling of incongruity was greatly alleviated, and he could maximize the strength of his body.

"Now that I'm only one or two skill elements away, I'm getting better in hand-to-hand combat. ”

The elements of combat skills are generally physical, and are applied to hand-to-hand combat skills, such as "Heavy Attack", "Angry Strike", "Shun Slash", "Swift Shadow Assault", "Power Burst", "Whirlwind Slash" and so on.

Most of the combat skill elements are ordinary elements, which is not uncommon.

Many beginner Demon Souls carry these elements, and melee transcendents often fuse them, more or less, and master one or two.

I don't know any of them.

So far, none of the demon souls he has fused are common, that is, they are too high-end, but they lack this ordinary element.

"If you can't find the thunder and lightning affinity element for a while, then first fuse the demon soul with the combat skill element. ”

"Modu is so dangerous, it would be safer to become a level 5 wizard earlier. ”

Back in the atrium of the castle, the captives were all taken away, squatting on the ground in rows.

When Wren appeared, all eyes were on him, looking at the new Earl of Glamorgan, his heart was full of apprehension and fear, waiting for the verdict to decide his fate.

According to Imperial law, they are all enemies who invade the Earldom, and Wren can kill everyone without any responsibility.

If you don't want to execute a captive, you can sell it as a slave.

The Oriense Empire forbade the slave trade, at least on the surface, and could not keep or sell slaves, but it was no problem to sell them abroad.

This group of people is considered a good slave, and among them there are also transcendental ones, who will definitely sell for a good price.

"Lord Earl......," Pensil greeted him, asking, "what should these people do?"

Wren's gaze swept over the captive.

Most of them were ordinary people, more than forty of them were civil officials in charge of administering the territory, and the rest were servants of the castle, male and female servants, cooks and gardeners, coachmen and grooms, etc., who served the governor and officials.

The surviving Transcendent Guards were less than ten in total.

Wren thought about it, killing ordinary people, there is no point in making killing, and sending them abroad to be sold as slaves is not only troublesome, but also violates his own principles.

When I came over, I asked Fabian, these people have no direct relationship with the Modu nobles, they are all hired by the former governor, and the blue water high castle is equivalent to a company, they are employees of the company, and there is no object of allegiance.

The governor also has no right to make others serve him.

After occupying the castle, he needs to hire a group of people, dignified counts, he can't always be a bare-gun commander, and the knights in silver armor also need someone to serve the daily life.

He quickly made a decision.

Wren stood on the top of the steps, condescendingly, and said in a loud voice, "I, Earl of Glamorgan, forgive you for your crimes. ”

As soon as the words fell, people's faces showed joy, and some even cried with joy.

"Great!"

"Merciful Earl!"

"The goddess will definitely bless the ...... of adults"

Wren's eyes were extremely happy to see that most of the captives' souls had turned green, and he continued, "You can choose to leave, or you can stay and continue to work. Those who stay will have their salaries increased by 20% and a bonus. ”

"I'll give you three minutes to think about it. ”

After saying that, Wren looked at Fabian, and the wind elf took out a pocket watch very interestingly and timed it for the lord.

People look at each other with hesitation on their faces, and it is not a small temptation to pay two percent and bonuses.

Still, most chose to leave.

They got up and saluted Wren, and ran out of the castle without looking back, apparently these people did not think that Wren could be the Earl of Glamorgan for long, and that it was not safe to stay in the castle and continue to work.

Someone took the lead, and soon someone followed.

In less than three minutes, the people were almost gone, only more than thirty people remained, and most of them were servants, there were only three or four officials from before, and the few surviving transcendent guards all left.

Wren uses the Eye of the Soul to observe those who remain and check for possible spies.

Surprisingly, there was none.

"Good!"

Wren nodded with satisfaction, "You won't regret your choice today, Fabian......" He looked at the wind elf and ordered, "You are more familiar with the castle than me, how about being a steward for me for a few days first?"

Fabian looked happy and bowed, "I am willing to serve the Earl." ”

He immediately stepped into the role of steward, rearranged the work for those who remained, counted the assets in the castle, cleaned up the damage caused by the battle, and the castle was running in an orderly manner.

Wren himself went out with the Silver Knight, and the first thing he did was to pick up all the shells.

Bullets are related to the secrets of machine guns, and through bullet casings, some important information can also be obtained, so they cannot be left in the hands of outsiders.

In this battle, more than 700 rounds of bullets were fired, and most of the division fell at the gate at the foot of the mountain, and the rest were on the top of the hillside, relatively concentrated.

It took less than ten minutes for all the shell casings to return to Wren.

He knew how many bullets he had shot, and he quickly counted them, and not a single bullet casing was missing, so he was relieved.

The recovered shells can also be reused, which can be regarded as saving a little money.

Then it's time to clean up the bodies.

Fabian sent a list of the guards, compared them with the corpses, found more than thirty dead people from Mordu natives, and carried them to the open space opposite the stone arch bridge, waiting for their families to come and claim them.

The rest of the corpses were gathered and burned in one fire.

Under the light of the fire, Wren's mood was a little heavy, but he had no remorse.

This world has extraordinary power, any law and reason are used to bind the weak, the strong are regarded as nothing, the law of the weak and the strong is shown in the most direct way, bloody, and people have long been accustomed to seeing life and death parting.

Soft-hearted people can't go to the end, and they rarely have a good end.

Every transcendent being, from the day he gains power, should have the consciousness that sooner or later he will be killed.

At least, Wren himself was mentally prepared.

In the next few hours, people went outside the castle to claim the corpses, crying incessantly, and the scene was very miserable, but no one dared to curse the Count in front of the silver-clad knight.

Wren stood at the window on the second floor of the castle, looking at the relatives of the deceased from afar, his face unwavering.

He retracted his gaze and asked as if talking to himself, "Why hasn't Speaker Medra sent someone to take Maitil's body yet?"

Osilia's voice rang out in the air: "It's already on the way here, you'll see you soon." ”

Wren's face was solemn, "Who is here?"

"Students of Mytire, two high-ranking wizards. ”

Osiria's answer made Wren secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Maitiel is one of the eighteen legendary wizards of the Floating City, although he has very little qualifications and does not have a tower of his own, he is a student of Speaker Medra, and killing him himself is like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the consequences are endless.

Legally, Maitir was killed as an intruder and was not held responsible.

However, the law has little binding force on a legendary high-ranking wizard.

Wren was a little worried that the Speaker of Murdra would teleport over directly and throw an eight-ring fireball to kill himself and avenge the students.

Although this possibility is very low, he has the support of the Duke of Silver Star on the surface, and the support of Master Anthy secretly, but who can guarantee that Speaker Medra will not be impulsive?

Thankfully, Speaker Medra kept his senses.

His original plan was to drive away Mytir, and he didn't have the determination to kill Mytir, and if it wasn't for Osiriah's secret help, it would be difficult for him to succeed.

Obviously, on the day she first arrived in Modu, Osilia also said that she would not help her attack the castle, but she suddenly made a secret move just now, and she didn't know what made her change her mind.

Could it be that Osilia has a grudge against Mytil?

Or was she instructed by Master Anthy to kill Maitir and deliberately provoke Speaker Medra?

The Speaker's position has always been biased towards the Mordu nobles, and if the Mordu nobles have any conspiracy, she should be inseparable.

Wren secretly guessed, but didn't ask.

Not long after, two high-ranking wizards appeared outside the castle, and Pansil represented Wren and handed over Mytir's body to them.

The two men, a man and a woman, looked sad when they saw the teacher's body.

Immediately, they cast hateful glances at the castle.

"Tell the Earl of Glamorgan to be careful with his dog's life, and that the teacher's things will be deposited in his hands first, and we will take them back ourselves. ”

The seventh-level male wizard left behind a cruel word and left with Mytil's corpse.

Wren, who was sitting in the castle study, heard it through the voice of all things.

He laughed indifferently, took out two enchanted rings from his pocket, placed them with the staff on the table, and carefully examined them.
