Faced with the increasingly erosive and hopeless family territory, the heir Herbert finally made a move.

In the early stage, the rectification of the sales channels and taxes of the territory was carried out in his name, so when it came to the division of the proceeds, he naturally had his share, and it was a considerable share—no matter how arrogant the church was, it would never dare to challenge the traditional interests of the nobility at will. Many people live by rules, and everyone who is unlucky without rules will be everyone. Cecil could do a lot to suppress Herbert, but if he dares to move a finger on Herbert's aristocratic rights today, tomorrow the empire will dare to destroy most of the unprotected church branches!

That war more than a hundred years ago proved only one thing - more than combat effectiveness, the empire has not yet lost!

When the time comes, the church without God will definitely lose! Of course, the "Proposal of Man and God" signed by Emperor Wei back then, the time separating man and God was only a thousand years. In terms of the lifespan of a country in another world, this time is really not very long...... When the church is destroyed, there will be no way to explain it. In short, it is precisely because both sides have scruples that a stable situation can be maintained, and both sides are fighting the premise of fighting without breaking.

With money in hand, Herbert issued a large number of tasks in one go - these tasks cover all aspects of the territory, and if they are really carried out, it will not only take up three or four months of the mercenaries of the whole Black Town, but also bring a real change to the Black Town!

Mercenaries are Blacktown's strength and instability. Using the unstable factors of Black Town to this extent, and being able to find a feasible way in the cracks, it can be said that Herbert, the heir, is really worthy of the title of "the Shan family is all geniuses and madmen"! But alas, even the best plan will become a ridiculous product after being edited by the hands of Cecil Knight - there is no genius, only madmen remain.

Rewards that seem plausible are naturally impossible to pass, and those that seem to have a deep meaning are treated like them. Only those that are just some kind of attempt, with little effort and no expectation of success...... Now it has been taken out with great fanfare.

The church even attaches a portion of the bounty to increase the attraction chips and ...... of the mission Ridiculous!

*****

For example, the description of one of the quests reads, "Bounty Notice: A pirate ghost hidden in the deep sea, always attacking on a full moon night, capable of switching between voids and entities, powerful and invulnerable to normal weapons." Even if they are destroyed, they will come back to life on the night of the next full moon, and as long as the resentment remains, they will never die......

However, by looking at the style of attire, it is certain that they were pirates during their lifetimes. As we all know, pirates are cruel and greedy, and their thirst for gold never ends! Ghosts retain the strongest part of their desires after death, so are they bought?

It is recommended to try to buy pirate ghosts with gold dust, gold objects, and gold coins......"

The reward for such a ridiculous task is as high as 1,000 gold coins!

The mercenaries burst into laughter, and a powerful mercenary group came forward to take it over!

Since the suicide of the previous duke, the liquidation of the dukedom has been going on intermittently for four or five years. It can be described as an iron-clad black town and a mercenary with flowing water. Those who are old in Blacktown have almost long known what the real danger areas are around Blacktown - that is, the boss activity area. Although everyone knows that they can definitely make a fortune by going to those areas, it is easy for no one to go to those places to die.

Like pirate ghosts, their "sleeping" areas are not a secret either. And this quest itself doesn't require a boss challenge, in fact, just take a boat to that area, and dump the "gold" from the surface of the sea, which will naturally sink to the bottom of the sea where the pirate ghost sleeps - this mission couldn't be easier!

Of course, gold is impossible! The reward for the entire task was only 1,000 gold coins, and Herbert would not provide gold tools...... Really provided, it's time for the mercenaries to run away with these. Anyway, in addition to gold, there is also a yellow metal in this world called fool's gold, which looks similar to gold...... With the pirate ghost's brain, it shouldn't be possible to tell the difference between the two.

Many people suspect that this task is not as simple as it seems, and there must be something wrong with it.

However, it did not ...... There were no pits, no conspiracy - the mercenary group arrived in the sea with a few sacks of golden utensils and coins, and then took advantage of the calm afternoon to throw all the fake gold into the sea! Wait for them to come back...... Ten bags full of gold coins are waiting for them in the City Lord's Mansion! This time it's real gold!

By the time they left with their money bags, the mercenaries had gone completely insane! Those messy tasks were picked up in a blink of an eye!

At the bottom of the sea, a wizened bony hand picked up the gold sunk in the silt and scraped it with its sharp nails. Fluttering golden powder fell from the vessel, revealing the black underneath...... Even if it is a layer of fool's gold, they are reluctant to do too much, and it is iron inside.

Bone hands clenched violently! The cast iron twisted and broke inside the bone hand, and was kneaded into iron slag!

……

"Herbert, big...... It's your father, he's not human! Herbert still remembered the way Shen Yan looked when he told him about the "plot of the game", and the corners of his mouth twitched. After a period of large-scale excavation, his funds began to become less abundant. In desperation, your father began to resell the strange antiques he had dug up to the empire in exchange for money to continue digging. But at that time, due to mass commotion and repression, the wilderness of the territory was crowded with bandits from all over the south, and land transportation was almost cut off.

Luckily, there's a small dock at the back of your estate, so your dad hired a team of notorious pirates to transport it. The pirates repelled the robbers on land, and they demanded a high reward from your father to sit on the ground. Your father had no choice but to promise to pay the next day.

That night, he sneaked into the harbor and cast all the magic and curses on the ships and anchors. The anchor sank to the bottom of the sea with the ship, and the pirates were all killed, and they became ghosts under the magic of the dead, and climbed ashore every full moon night to escape your father's debts......"

What does this have to do with not being human? Herbert asked helplessly, is this practice common among the aristocracy? What the hell is it to become a ghost.

"And what do you mean?"

"So you know, right? Although this ghost looks powerful, the shortcomings are also obvious. That bill is their obsession, and if you really help your dad pay that bill, then their resentment will dissipate, and it won't be long before they die on their own. ”

"You want me to scrape together the money to pay the bills?"

"No, I'm curious what would happen if I lied to them again?" Old Shen smiled coldly, and Herbert couldn't help but shudder.

……

"Debts must be paid!" A wooden leg stepped on, and the gilded tin can was pierced like mud!

"Debts must be paid!" A trailing pirate cutter cuts deep dents through passing stones!

"Debts must be paid!" Countless decomposing corpses, bare bones and dressed in rags, emerge from the sea mud!

"Debts must be paid!" The mighty pirates of death are marching under the sea to the Black Town!

This time it's not a full moon.

"Bounty Notice: Mr. Herbert seems to have found a way to restrain the Siren Sirens by looking through ancient books, and that is - the mirror! The Siren Sirens are extremely powerful in their ability to manipulate the sea and hearts! But she seemed afraid to see her ugly image......

To confirm this point, Mr. Herbert will offer a bounty of one hundred and fifty gold coins and four metal mirrors to any warrior who can help him prove his idea! ”

Mirror? Can you defeat the Sirens? You're not kidding me?!

Seeing this announcement, almost all the mercenaries felt incredible! The sirens are known as one of the rookie killers, and I don't know how many newcomers were confused by the siren's singing because they didn't plug their ears in time, and they became her captives in a daze. Not only drowned in the sea, but also turned into a puppet of the sea manipulated by the sirens.

But if this announcement is true...... Everyone is tempted! The problem wasn't the one hundred and fifty gold bounty, but the area where the sirens were located had never been conquered by adventurers! There's a lot of treasure hidden there! If what Master Herbert said was true, a mirror would be able to drive away the sirens, which was great news!

As long as there is a 1% chance of this, it is worth 100% effort! How can you get rich without taking risks!

So needless to say, all the powerful mercenary groups set off towards the ocean with mirrors! For a while, the mirror of Blacktown was hyped to a sky-high price! It also made a windfall of a dog man and woman who had a monopoly on stockpiling in advance!

It turns out that Herbert really didn't lie to them! The Siren, who was usually extremely powerful, wailed and fled under the illumination of countless mirrors! As soon as she saw her image in the mirror, she would scream as if she had been burned by fire, turn her head and run...... Panicked so much that he hit the wall and didn't look back!

The people who came later didn't even see the boss siren, and they were stunned by the treasures all over the ground! The next step is to join the ranks of grabbing money...... On that day, the mercenary group that dared to go into the water all made a lot of money! Pearls, corals, hawksbill turtles fill their pockets, and everyone takes home with a full load! Celebrate wildly!

……

When the cave was plundered and the adventurers left laughing happily, the Siren Siren climbed back to her own cave.

There's nothing left here, except ...... Throwing mirrors everywhere, intact and broken......

A woman's hand, trembling, picked up an intact metal mirror and held it up in front of her eyes. I saw an ugly, hideous fish-human head appear in the mirror! Ringworm spots spread on the face of the fish's skin, the conch and the organ coagulate, and the sharp and jagged teeth protrude from the inside of the ugly fish's lips...... Even the deepest nightmare can't describe the ugly face in the mirror!

The Siren cried, and large tears fell on the stone ground and rolled into new pearls.

Her claws clenched, and the metal mirror twisted in her claws, and the figure in the mirror twisted with it!

……

"That, Shen Yan, what's the story about the Banshee Siren? What are you doing this for? ”

"It's not all because of the big! Your father, he ......"

"I know, he's not human!"
