Chapter 19: Giving the Seal, the Scarlet Key (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Rewards, Asking for Monthly Passes)

On the calm and afvient island of Anstein, the slender silky drizzle sprinkled down like a thin gauze covering the houses and the harbor, making everything in front of them seem dreamlike, like a dream.

In fact, for many people, the pace of development of the Victor family seems to be very dreamlike, this place was just a withered desert island five years ago, and the empire could not find a nobleman willing to take over here.

Originally, there was only a small fishing village with less than 200 people, but with such a foundation, how could it be developed into a scale and atmosphere close to that of an imperial province in five years?

In fact, even the family's sugar and salt production processes are only supplements, and the real reason is that the Golden Triangle sea route formed by the island of Anstein, the island of Tidal, and the city of Winnie, when the three are fully connected, its geographical location is too superior.

When there is only one small fishing village on the island of Anstein, when the island of Tedar is full of orcs, this superior geographical condition is equal to nothing.

But when the population of Anstann Island accumulated to a certain size, and when the orcs on Tedar Island were wiped out, huge seafaring benefits were born, and the marine economic circle was a virgin land that had not been fully developed in this world.

Now, the Victor family, led by Daxiu, enjoys its freshness and beauty.

If it weren't for the fact that the newly developed aristocratic territories did not need to pay national taxes for the first twenty years, the Victor family's annual increase in commercial taxes would have been enough to arouse exclamation and even fear from the Imperial Treasury.

The blue sea, sandy beaches, seagulls flying.

Captain Planck, dressed in the navy's robes, and Danny, a heavily armored minister, walked side by side in this increasingly prosperous territory.

From the faces of the commoners as far as the eye can see, you can faintly see the wealth and strength of the Victor family.

These people have ruddy faces and bright eyes, and they are by no means cloudy and dull-eyed like the vast majority of civilians on the Immortal Continent, and even beggars will not be starved to death in this territory, no, more precisely, even beggars are rare, because there are opportunities for work everywhere.

A team of twenty-one men of heavily armed infantry could be seen patrolling not far away, and one of the most important choke points in the territory was the port of entry. When the sea trade is prosperous, there will naturally be more ships and sailors, and if there are more ships and sailors, the possibility of something happening will naturally be greater.

As a result, the twenty human warriors were all armed with foot-operated military crossbows, and they were sturdy and armed with dual-wielding shield swords, which were distributed to each warrior by representatives of the Victor family when they officially enlisted.

Basically, these equipment will follow the soldier for the rest of his life, because it is almost the personal property of the soldier, and there is no room for replacement in non-wartime, and losing them is equivalent to losing the identity of the warrior, so they are often carefully cared for.

According to the law established by Lord Victor, warriors who have served the Victor family all their lives have the right to take their own equipment with them when they retire, and they are also given priority in being appointed as junior cadres.

Of course, you can also choose to return your equipment and take about half of the money for the full set of equipment.

The Victor family's legionnaires are well paid, and if there are no problems with the family, most of the soldiers should choose to take away the equipment that has followed them for most of their lives, which carries a lifetime of memory and self-glory.

A group of twenty-one fully armed infantrymen, in addition to twenty human warriors, was followed at the back by a two-meter-tall blue fat man in super-heavy steel armor.

Well, that's a nickname, and the world usually calls them: ogres!

The growth rate of the ogre is very fast, and the food provided by the Victor family is extremely rich, and the five ogres that Zhu Peng brought to the island back then are already useful now.

The reason why ogres can eat people is actually because of their amazing stomach function and digestive ability, and even people will eat people if they are hungry for a long time, let alone as an alien ogre. After a long period of domestication, he has eaten a lot of cooked meat and various vegetables since he was a child.

Therefore, the five ogres of the Victor family are far stronger and smarter than their wild counterparts, and the strength of their talents, coupled with the tonnage level of heavy equipment, and the pure steel mace of more than two meters, even if they have not fully reached the peak of growth, these five ogres have still become a very deterrent combat force on the island of Anstann.

Infantry often only need to take a big guy to hang out in a place like a harbor bar, and the chances of those crew members making trouble are reduced by more than 50 percent.

Someone once joked that with these five ogres and the standing legion of the Victor family, even if the red dragon came to attack the Victor family's treasury, it could be completely resisted, right?

On the one hand, this sentence alludes to the wealth of the Victor family, and on the other hand, praises the strength of this guy's garrison legion.

In fact, this is really not nonsense, the super-heavy steel armor on the five-headed ogre has a strengthened spell with the power of a bull, but it requires the magic ring permission of the captain of the infantry team to be opened, and the five captains correspond to the five-headed ogre, once the firepower is fully opened, the ogre wielding the two-meter-high pure steel mace will become a third-order killing weapon, even if the adult red dragon can't fly up in time or make other responses in time, it is enough to drink a pot.

Of course, ogres are ogres after all, and in order to prevent them from suddenly going berserk or being controlled by enemy mental spells, the five infantry captains still have the permission to seal them with magic rings, and then the power of the brute bull will be transformed into petrified armor, which will directly make it difficult for the ogres to move or even unable to move at all.

However, until now, none of these targeted countermeasures have been used, neither the power of the brute nor the armor of petrification.

In fact, in the past few years of getting along, these five chubby ogres have become the mascots of the people of Anstann Island, and under the premise of being full, the ogre is a very gentle, obedient, and cute fat man, even if a child comes to slap their big fat belly, or even a stinky little ghost comes to kick their buttocks, these can't make them angry.

After all, with their steel armor and heavy fat, they don't really feel anything about these non-aggressive actions.

The two walked side by side, and after greedily watching the prosperous peace that they had personally helped create, Captain Planck and Danny made their way to the middle of the new town, where a large number of people had gathered.

However, the only thing that really stood on the high platform with a heavy golden sword in his hands and looked down at the man below: Count Victor, who was only a young man in terms of age, was the one who really created what he saw.

The golden giant sword in his hand was the trophy conversion obtained by Zhu Peng after killing the old orc sword saint and the orc swordsman of the White Bone Mountain Range successively.

Zhu Peng found a clever blacksmith to combine these two orc clan's holy domain swords into one, in general, limited to the blacksmith's craftsmanship, the power of the combined famous sword can not be greatly improved, from the perspective of value, it is a loss.

However, Zhu Peng intends to use this golden sword as the sword of the Victor family's future inheritance, and the spine of this sword is engraved: "The glory of the Victor family is immortal with this sword!"

The dual enchantments on the sword are: Strength and Force.

The sturdiness of the sword is what makes it last forever, after all, the spine of the sword is carved with such words, and it would be embarrassing if it broke in less than two days.

Coercion can make the person holding this sword deeply majestic, but it is useless for Zhu Peng, as long as he thinks about it, his own coercion is far beyond what is attached to the golden sword.

It can be said that at least the first generation of the Victor family is a human sword, as for the extent to which the descendants can do it, it is not clear, Zhu Peng is also lazy to care, do what he can do, he is already worthy of Daxiu Victor.

"Danny, come forward and be sealed. ”

In the drizzle, on the high platform, in the envious and even jealous eyes of everyone around, Danny, dressed in swordsman's heavy armor, walked up and knelt down on one knee in front of the young earl, and was crossed by the heavy golden sword at the side of his neck.

"Danny, you have been with me all the way, you have always been my most loyal companion, and now, I am willing to exercise the power of my lord and make you a baron, and I can give you a piece of land that can be cultivated for five hundred acres, and hire you to be the interior officer of the county. Baron Danny, would you like to?" Although it is a question sentence, everyone knows that Danny will never refuse, the thriving Victor family counts are subordinate to the position of baron, what a glorious and brilliant prospect this is.

"I do. Earl, I am willing to be your vassal, and fight for you until the end of your life. Danny's words were almost all trivial, and he was already trying to calm down, but it didn't seem to work very well.

Five years, and in just five years after graduation, many seniors and peers have achieved goals that are beyond the reach of many seniors and peers for a lifetime.

I think of the sleepless night when I decided to follow Senior Daxiu five years ago, and I think of the hard work and bloody battles I have experienced in the past five years.

Beneath the swordsman's armor, Baron Danny shed tears that belonged to a man, and once again he expressed his loyalty to the lord in front of him, and then slowly stepped back from the high platform.

After Danny, the next is Captain Planck, who even surpasses Danny in terms of merit and hardship, but because he did not follow in the beginning, and there are far more opportunities to establish merit in the future than Danny, who served as an interior officer, so his title and title are secondary.

Just a lord, at the same time received three hundred acres of land.

Planck accepted it calmly, he knew that he had many opportunities to make a contribution in the future as he commanded the Victor family's navy, and the Count's current suppression was not necessarily a kind of love.

However, the people around looked at Captain Planck's left eye, which was covered with a black blindfold, and his right hand, which was cut off during the battle and thus replaced with an iron hook, all felt sorry for him.

Everyone knows that Captain Planck's merits and dedication are more than Danny's, but because he is not as good as Danny's friendship with the monarch's initial business, he is weaker in all aspects.

Feeling the mood of the people around him, Zhu Peng, who was holding the golden sword, sneered. If not, how can we show the preciousness of our relationship and friendship with the Lord's family?

.........

Gaotai Golden Sword, 800 acres of land.

Danny and Captain Planck were each named true nobles, although they had a little less fief than the barons and lords of the empire, but the Victor family was rich, and as a vassal of this family, it was even more impossible to point to the ground and eat.

In these five years, the scheming Great Elder of the Turen tribe, Hatu, died, and if he did not die, the Victor family would even have to give him the title of lord to appease the hearts of the Turen.

After Hatu's death, several of his sons and grandsons seized power to attack each other, on the one hand, there was chaos, and on the other hand, there was singing and dancing, so a large number of natives took the vote and chose to go to the Victor family territory to work and live.

Although it was not forcibly banned, but when Lao Hatu was there, he could only use the power and strategy to deal with Zhu Peng, and now that Lao Hatu is gone, his descendants have neither power nor power, and the native tribe, which was once a major force on Anstann Island, soon collapsed.

The people who remained in the village were either old people or children, waiting for their relatives to mix in the domain of the great lord and then take them to live with them.

Zhu Peng did not attend the reception after the canonization ceremony, but was presided over by his sister Illya Victor.

If this is in the low-level demon world, the practice of the noble feudal lord is undoubtedly very excessive, but this is in the high-level demon world, the high-level mage can't be broken in half for a minute, and it is normal to have such an impersonal performance. Regardless of whether others understand it or not, they must at least maintain a posture of understanding on the surface, after all, only power is the truth.

Victor Castle, in the vast and magnificent laboratory of the Underground Palace.

Flame Necromantic Demon, Dark Nether Bone Dragon, Dragon Scale Blood Skeleton, Earth Walking Corpse, Lucky Bone, although the Lucky Little Skull has never really completed its mutation and evolution, Zhu Peng has determined that its evolution is only a matter of time, but this kind of thing is not in a hurry.

When Lucky Bone also completes the mutation and evolution, his magic ring "Dripping Blood Stone" is basically full, and then it depends on the energy purity of these summoning necromancers, and whether there can be one or two more space slots.

But even at this moment, the Blood Stone is already a very powerful Sanctuary Ring: summoning undead creatures, reducing mana consumption by eight percent;

Increases Fire Resistance by 35%;

Constant dragon force curing blessing;

Increases Earth Resistance by 10% and Immunopetrification;

Lucky Plus?.

The last bonus attribute has not really solidified, but it seems to be biased towards improving luck, this is the essence of Zhu Peng's soul is far higher than the height of the Blood Stone Ring, so he can sense its changes in advance, but it has not been stabilized, it has not been solidified, and everything is still variable.

Zhu Peng didn't wait any longer, but began to collect a large number of precious materials with the undead grass as the main material, and began to try to configure the most suitable potion for himself.

There are differences between individuals, especially the higher the life level, for example, a fire-based buff potion is a great supplement for the fire-based Shaping Wizard, but if you give this potion to the ice-based Shaping Wizard, it is a deliberate murder or provocation.

In particular, Zhu Peng's pursuit is to debug the potion to the point where it is completely compatible with himself, in order to achieve the maximum upper limit of the increase.

Extracting part of his own blood, he observed its reaction with the undead herb liquid under the spell microscope, because of the subjective choice of will, this demon body hiding under the skin of Daxiu-Victor is gradually transforming into the direction of the necromantic demon, not because the demon blood is not strong enough, but the demon blood is not the most suitable for the way of the necromancy.

Zhu Peng has neither time nor interest in recasting the body of the fourth-order titanium pole body in this world, so the body of the transcendent god of death is not bad, but in this process, the concept that does not belong to the necromancer must be gradually removed, which is the so-called subtraction and emptiness, and many times the help in the process of moving forward will become a burden when taking the last step, not good enough, but not suitable enough.

Many demigod peaks are stuck at this step for an unknown number of years, and in the end, many of them are even stuck and cannot break through the extraordinary, and Zhu Peng himself is extraordinary, he was once on the mountain peak, he knows very well the way up, so Zhu Peng has already begun to prepare to reduce and seek emptiness at the stage of the Holy Domain, using its advantages without its disadvantages.

Time passed, and when Zhu Peng was doing the mixing experiment and recording in the laboratory on this day, he suddenly didn't know how long had passed, and the red mask placed on the shelf of the long table in the laboratory suddenly lit up, spreading the fluctuation of magic power.

Zhu Peng, who was working, frowned slightly, and after a while, he put down the test tube in his hand and walked over, this bloody face Zhu Peng had already checked it repeatedly, it also had the dual functions of concealing breath and transmitting information, and it was a pretty good piece of Sanctuary equipment.

Of course, it is impossible for all the masks of the blood staff to be the equipment of the legendary Sanctuary level, and they basically correspond to their own rank, because if a third-order assassin is allowed to assassinate the Sanctuary, there is no difference in nature whether there is a bloody surface of the Sanctuary level or not.

"Directly forcing the transmission of information? "After getting this bloody face from Night Shadow, Zhu Peng has been keeping it here, and he has never been interested in wearing it.

But today, the blood surface is forced to light up and spread fluctuations, which means that it is really a very urgent matter, as long as you wear it, you can immediately receive a big task.

“...... It's not a forced contract, if you don't like the task and the conditions are not favorable, it's a big deal not to accept it. He muttered a whisper, and then Zhu Peng picked up the mask and put it on his cheek, and in the spiritual perspective, a whirlpool dragged him in, and when Zhu Peng opened his eyes again, he was already in the white illusory hall.

The entire stone hall was illusory and vague, and the surrounding space was filled with a faint white mist, except for a black-robed blood-faced person in the stone hall, whose blood-colored mask was clearer, and there were already six people who had arrived here before Zhu Peng, and he was the seventh person who joined in.

"What's going on, so anxious to summon us?"

"All of them are members of the West Coast-oriented organization, is there something big going on around here?"

When Zhu Peng joined in and listened to the other people talking, a void but huge voice suddenly fell into the crowd.

"Bloodfaces, the traitor to the Empire, Steve, stole the Blood Key from the Royal Vault and has now absconded to the West Coast, intercept him, kill him, and retrieve the Blood Key, completing this quest will reward you with an A-grade mission rating and an exchange credit of more than 5,000 points. ”

"Be careful, Steve, in this mission, the Pirate King of the Seven Seas is likely to be involved, and that traitor must not be allowed to escape into the depths of the sea. This loud sound that shook the eardrums and the spirit of the soul at the same time made more than half of the seven blood-faced people in the White Stone Hall unstable because of this, Zhu Peng followed and shook left and right twice, while thinking about his first mission.

(A-level evaluation, isn't that a demigod-level mission evaluation?Steve?I seem to have seen this name in the roster of the imperial capital nobles, the real power nobles of the Holy Domain Rank, what kind of thing is worthy of his direct treason?)

The blood-faced organization leads directly to the upper echelons of the Undead Empire, an A-level mission evaluation, and an exchange limit of more than 5,000 points, the two of which can be exchanged for more things combined:

From imperial titles, land, wealth, and even magic books, secret medicines, and treasures, these things are all-encompassing, even if you complete this mission, you can directly gather most of the auxiliary materials for concocting immortal herb potions.

It's not just Zhu Peng who thinks like this, Steve is just a holy domain, usually a B-level evaluation, the Pirate King of the Seven Seas Nacato Viren is certainly terrifying, but it seems to be a little worse than those demigods in the A-level evaluation.

All in all, it seemed like a very cost-effective task, so after the loud voice disappeared, the seven bloody faces in the stone hall looked at each other, and then one by one they also dissipated into white smoke.

It seems that the reputation of the Bloodface Organization is very good, and these people did not hesitate to take up the task.

When Zhu Peng turned into white smoke and returned to the real world, he was standing in the laboratory, and a blood-colored mask was already covering his cheeks.

(The Seven Pirates King's tyrant Haitao?) I can't imagine that after all, I still have to learn this world-famous master, I hope I won't be disappointed too much.) Quickly packed up the items in the laboratory, and then Zhu Peng sneaked out of Anstein Island through a secret passage, and under the influence of magic, Anstein Island had actually received an urgent wanted warrant from the Empire.

Therefore, Zhu Peng directly ordered Planck to attack, if he could complete the bloody task in the name of the family, it would be okay, and if he could really do it, he would save himself trouble.

............

"Raise the sails!"

Powered by magical energy, assisted by sails.

Captain Planck, who received the order of Count Victor, did not hesitate to go to sea directly, Daxiu Victor's consistent style of behavior is to never save money, especially in the family fleet, he is willing to spend money to smash up, although the five warships sent at this moment are not exaggerated pure metal magic ships, but they are also the latest military main warships.

The ship is strong and sharp, and it lives up to its name.

Because it is a big chase, so the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, and the fastest ones that can catch up are these five, if you don't pursue extreme speed, the Victor family can send twenty or fifty big ships in one go.

It's just that the sea is vast, and there is no clear coordinate lock on the mission goal, and Zhu Peng himself is stepping on the dark Netherworld Bone Dragon soaring in the clouds, searching for any suspicious ships.

It is not easy to hunt down a ship in the vast sea, let alone hunt down a Sanctuary mage, under Steve's intentional aura, a marquis, who is also a great nobleman on the coast, began to go berserk, and directly ordered his fleet to attack all ships that went to the public seas.

Captain Planck's five warships almost got into a fight, but after seeing the two hundred magic cannons clearly, the Victor family's fleet side promptly revealed the identity of the nobles who had pursued the fugitives, and this inexplicable battle was avoided.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that the other side also knows that it is difficult to compete with the luxurious and luxurious naval configuration of the Victor family fleet.

(It seems that the Marquis of Anst is also a bloody person, hiding it really deep enough, who would have thought that a fat man of more than two hundred catties was actually a strong man in the Holy Domain.) Standing on the head of the bone dragon in the clouds above, Zhu Peng's mind flashed information about the Marquis of Anst.

In the eyes of the world, he is a very typical mediocre aristocrat, full of fat and talentless, except for a daughter who was born beautifully, it can be said that there is no outstanding thing at all.

Of course, Zhu Peng has not really met with him, if he has really seen it, it is not difficult to see the real strength of the other party with Zhu Peng's level.

But like the current posture, Zhu Peng doesn't believe that Anst is simply worried about the empire and the immortal emperor, and like himself, he sticks the family's blood capital up because of the empire's mission, and he can only explain it clearly with a bloody identity.

Of course, Zhu Peng is the same at this point, because the empire's emergency wanted warrant is so violently pasted on his family's blood book, in the eyes of those who know the blood organization, this kind of behavior itself has been marked with a great label.

However, Zhu Peng doesn't care much about this, after completing the configuration of the potion, his future demigod identity will be even more shocking and eye-catching, and it is his inevitable fate to step out of the shadows and move towards the intersection of the eyes of the world's powerhouses.

(However, you have to do some disguise to cover up the realm of advancing too fast, five years to promote from the second order to the powerful holy realm, it can also be said that it is a necromantic genius that has been accumulated in the previous ten years, accumulated a lot, and is a once-in-a-millennium necromancer, and it will take more than ten years to rush all the way to the demigod rank, if there is no one who can explain the reasons for the past, I am afraid that the powerhouses of the entire continent will run out to hunt me down and find out.) Thinking about it, diffusion and exploration with the power of divine sense, with Zhu Peng's acuity, even if Steve's hiding methods are very clever, as long as there is no strange treasure to help, he will not be able to hide.

However, in the vast sea, thousands of ships are launched at the same time, and if you want to really catch someone, you need a considerable degree of luck in addition to strength.

Or Zhu Peng was unlucky, or Steve really had some strange blessings, in short, two days and nights passed, and in the process, Zhu Peng even encountered a member of the organization wearing a bloody face, but he still couldn't find Steve.

As the search range became farther and farther away from the Immortal Empire, just when Zhu Peng felt that this mission was not a big deal, a sudden naval battle became the fuse for a series of events that followed.

Neither Steve, Victor, nor the Marquis of Anstor have found their fleets, but the fleet of the Marquis of Anstor has found the fleet of the Seven Pirates King Viren.

I don't know if it's the brain-dead of the Marquis of Anst's family, or the thief fleet's fierce habits, I can't tell who fired the first shot on both sides, in short, the inextricable naval battle can be said to have started in the most abrupt situation.

The magic destruction cannon is different from the earth's medieval gunpowder cannon, the manifestation of this thing is more similar to laser weapons, laser weapons hit wooden ships, and if the trajectory is accurate enough, it basically hits a string of cannons.

Fortunately, whether it is the fleet of the Seven Pirates King Viren or the fleet of the Marquis of Anst's family, there are not many magic guide destruction cannons installed, unless there is a special need in this era, otherwise there is no need to install too much such money-burning equipment, and if the white-knuckle battle is won, you can also take advantage of the situation to seize the ship and cargo, and fight long-range artillery battles, the winner gains nothing, and the loser sinks all into the sea.

Seeing this form in front of him, Zhu Peng frowned slightly, and then he cast a necromancy to summon a bone bird, and wrote a note to ask Captain Planck, who was dozens of nautical miles away, not to come over, this kind of naval battle that was already a mess, Victor's fleet came to open fire, just to wipe out the two families, both belong to the immortal empire, and it will be difficult to explain it to the Marquis of Anst.

But if you don't open fire, you have to rush in and join forces with the fleet of the Marquis of Anst's family, and fight with the pirates in their favorite and best white-knuckle battle, such a loss-making deal Zhu Peng is unwilling to do, and the pensions of his own seamen are far higher than those of the two below.

However, Zhu Peng himself pressed the dragon's head and swooped over, and in the midst of the naval battle that had already fallen into chaos, Zhu Peng felt the breath of a Sacred Realm Rank Dark Mage...... Steve, this guy has successfully joined up with the Seven Pirate King's men, the Pirate King didn't come/or it would be best to take him away before the Pirate King arrived, and if you want to see the Pirate King's miraculous skills, it's the same if you want to see the amazing skills of the sea and the demigod in the future.

Steve also seemed to have spotted the terrifying black dragon that swooped down with a prominent momentum, Zhu Peng's dark ghost dragon was surrounded by black and red aura, and if you didn't look closely, you could hardly find that it was a bone dragon, and it would be directly mistaken for a black dragon/demon dragon.

Steve's aura was once again dark and hidden, Zhu Peng drove the dragon between the ships, as long as that guy showed the slightest breath again, he would catch him and kill him directly.

At the same time, in the fleet of the Marquis of Anst's family, there was a female mage who slowly put on a bloody face for herself, and her dark blue eyes revealed an awe-inspiring killing intent.
