Chapter 517: Fishing Across the Line
Because of the warning from his immediate boss, Viscount Charlotte did not come to trouble again after all, and left without waiting for the banquet to end. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After two hours, the banquet gradually dispersed.
When the others were almost gone, Wu Ming and Lucy were taken by the old butler and saw Count Cullen for the second time.
There is a red carpet on the floor, famous paintings on the walls, and two iron armors at the door.
Count Cullen, who was plump, was sitting behind a round table with his eyes squinted, wiping a fire gun with a rag.
Technology is not visible in the world of the gods, but it is not without technological creations.
This kind of thing similar to a fire gun is the crystallization of goblin technology, which can effectively kill a turn professional, and is the favorite of many aristocratic families.
"Little one, what level of knighthood are you going to buy?" Without raising his head, Count Cullen wiped the fire gun and asked nonchalantly.
Wu Ming thought about his needs for a moment and said, "Lord Earl, can I hear the price first?" ”
"Lord Honor, a thousand gold coins. Honorary Baron, 10,000 gold coins. Honorary Viscount, 100,000 gold coins. "Count Cullen belongs to the earl of real power, and the limit of what he can canonize is a viscount, no matter how high it is, it is impossible.
Wu Ming thought for a while, a title that was too low-level was not interesting, so he spoke: "Lord Earl, I am going to buy the title of Honorary Viscount." ”
While speaking, an exchange ticket with a face value of 100,000 gold coins was placed on the table by Wu Ming.
Seeing the golden ticket, Count Cullen's eyes lit up, and he smiled even more happily, and said: "The honorary title disappears from generation to generation, do you want to become a viscount with real power, the kind that can be passed on?" ”
The honorary title represents honor, while the title of real power represents the possession of a fief.
For example, Garth's father, Viscount Charlotte, was a powerful viscount who owned fiefs in several small towns.
On weekdays, as long as you pay taxes to the upper authorities on time, you will be the emperor of the soil in your own fiefdom, which is the foundation of a family's continuation.
Therefore, when he heard the proposal of the Viscount of Real Power, Wu Ming was very surprised for the first time.
If he guessed correctly, many of the viscounts that currently exist are veterans who have served for the Count Cullen family for more than hundreds of years.
These people, as the first earl settled here and built a city in the wilderness, many of them were the personal knights of the first earl, which has a centuries-old inheritance that cannot be shaken.
In the hundreds of years since, there has never been a canonization of the real power of the nobles, which has made the gold content of the real power of the nobles soar all the way, and the proposal of Count Cullen obviously has the intention of breaking this rule.
"200,000 gold coins, I will give you a baron with real power, such an opportunity is really not to be missed." Count Cullen opened his mouth to the money, and seemed a little impatient.
Hearing this, Wu Ming's first reaction was why Count Cullen was so short of money.
It stands to reason that a powerful earl who owns several cities should not be short of money, and his worth is at least a few million gold coins.
But looking at the appearance of Count Cullen, he is simply poor and crazy, and he is even willing to sell the title of real power. This is no longer a death asking for money, but shaking the foundation of the Earl's family, and killing chickens and eggs is nothing more than that.
"Count Cullen, I believe in the god of the lich, and my mind is no longer on the human side. Could it be that he is ready to open up the passage between the two realms, and intends to make the last deal to prepare for the start of war? The only explanation Wu Ming could think of was that Count Cullen was going to start a war.
Only on the verge of war will a large amount of gold be needed, and the Count of Cullen will sell the real power of the nobles in one go.
Moreover, in the great event of the invasion of the undead, Count Cullen played the role of a pioneer, and I am afraid that the day the passage between the two realms is opened, it will be the day he takes off his disguise.
Prior to this, it was not impossible to obtain war funds by unscrupulous means.
"According to Green's meaning, it will be at least three or five years before the undead occupy the Holy Light Empire. During this period, the status of the nobles of real power was definitely more useful than that of the nobles of honor, and it was conducive to reaching out to those great nobles. Perhaps, this is my chance, because there will be no other person who will do this except Earl Cullen, who has a backbone in the back of his head. ”
His heart was full of speculation about Count Kulun, and Wu Ming tentatively said: "Two hundred thousand gold coins, the viscount of real power." ”
"Haha, I kind of like you." Count Cullen laughed, and the laughter lasted for a while, and suddenly said, "Deal!" ”
200,000 gold coins is not a small number, but if you say it, I am afraid that many wealthy businessmen would rather go bankrupt than refuse the temptation of real power.
If Wu Ming only guessed before, Count Cullen was likely to make a move. Then now is the time to be sure that the Count of Cullen will launch it, in the past month or two, and this is the last madness before the storm.
Wu Ming had a smile on his face, knowing that if he hadn't gotten Green's inside information, he wouldn't have understood what Count Cullen was.
In the same way, it is precisely because he knows that having this kind of knowledge of the future allows him to be more comfortable with the future.
No wonder, every reborn person is a winner in life.
Knowing the direction of future development, you can meet the auspicious that is beneficial to you, avoid the evil that is harmful to you, and it is difficult to be underdeveloped.
"Pay the money now, and in three months, I will prepare the canonization ceremony for you, you won't believe me, right?" Count Cullen opened his mouth with a smile, and he was like a smiling tiger.
Of course Wu Ming won't believe it, the bullshit will be canonized after three months, I'm afraid that the undead clan will invade after three months, this is a naked white wolf with empty gloves.
It seems that the so-called aristocratic canonization of Count Cullen, he was by no means the first to hear about it.
I don't know how many people believed in this guy and waited for the canonization in three months with joy, so that the bamboo basket was empty.
Thinking of many wealthy businessmen, working hard to press gold threads year after year, and trying to make wedding dresses for others, Wu Ming knew how cold and ruthless Count Cullen's smile was.
According to the information that Wu Ming knew, there were no less than 500 wealthy merchants with assets of more than 200,000 gold coins in the entire Tiprague.
Count Cullen gambled on the honor of the family to deceive these people who didn't know the future, and if it wasn't good, most of the wealthy businessmen would be tricked, and the funds returned might even exceed five million, which was enough to build an elite army of the undead.
"Hehe, fat man, you have a lot of ideas, do you plan to learn to cook?" Wu Ming had a sneer on his face, and he could 100% conclude that this old fox was playing with him again.
Seeing the sneer on Wu Ming's face, as well as the word fat man who was not respectful, Count Cullen's smile disappeared, and he whispered, "What are you talking about?" ”
"Fatty, I've been good enough for you, Jason is a nuisance, I'll help you kill him. There is a flaw in the white bone altar, so I will show up to remind you to pay attention, I will treat you well, right? Good guy, I'm so righteous, you just play fox with me, play chat, you treat me as a three-year-old child? "Wu Ming came to Count Cullen, it meant a showdown, but I didn't expect the tiger to be unwieldy, and Count Cullen treated him as a Hello KT.
Everyone is a fox cultivating on a mountain, and if they don't take care of each other, it's just a matter of doing all these useless things.
Wu Ming felt the need to teach Count Cullen a lesson and let him understand what political correctness was.
"It's you!" Hearing Wu Ming's statement, Count Cullen suddenly realized that the whole person was a little bad.
He had heard from his necromancer that a masked man had appeared to remind him of this.
It's just that Count Cullen didn't expect that this masked man was the famous waste young master in the Percival family, which was really a slap in the face.
"I really didn't expect it, the laughing stock among the nobles, the famous waste young master, it turned out to be so deeply hidden. In this way, since everyone is an acquaintance, let's get straight to the point, friend, dare to ask where you are? Count Cullen said this, pointed his finger at the table, and said, "The underground abyss, the purgatory system, or the orc world?" ”
"What do you think?" Wu Ming remained silent, a faint golden light bloomed in his eyes, and a sense of coercion came to his face.
Feeling this kind of coercion, Count Cullen's eyes flickered, looked Wu Ming up and down for a while, and said with a smile: "You are from purgatory, and only the great devil in purgatory has such a soul coercion and concealment method. Dare to ask, which lord is Your Excellency, and there is a way to come to the Continent of the Gods, what a good means! ”
"Huh." Wu Ming smiled and said nothing, even more unfathomable.
The purgatory system and the undead system belong to the evil camp and have a common enemy, that is, the gods of the righteous camp.
With Wu Ming's speculation that he was the Devil Lord of Purgatory, Count Cullen felt that many things could be explained, so he spoke: "Below is the system of the undead, under the throne of the White Bone Monarch, the Great Lich Korando. Friend, this time, you've crossed the line! ”
