Chapter 11: Killing, the Rise of the Longbow Family

In the afternoon, in the middle of the woods.

The last ogre fled in panic, initially chasing the man on horseback with a stick, but as time went on, things somehow turned around.

Especially after all the more than 30 crossbow arrows in Zhu Peng's crossbow quiver were nailed to it, this two-meter-tall blue fat man was blinded in one eye at this moment, his body was covered with wounds, and the blood that kept flowing out made its originally endless physical energy gradually exhausted.

If he wanted to complete the killing, Zhu Peng, who rode alone in the forest, would have ended the battle a long time ago, he consciously drove the ogre to his own familiar place, and when he reached the familiar environment, this creature with low intelligence would instinctively choose the familiar route, that is, the route back to the lair of this group of ogres.

Although the intelligence is not high, after all, there are still beast instincts, some intelligent ogres can even learn a few lingua franca words, can understand human speech and obey orders, even if the head in front of him is not trained, after approaching the lair, it will not return, let the terrible man behind him drive and attack it.

"Unfortunately, the reaction was too slow, and I probably know where it is by now. "The ogre is huge and staggeringly heavy, looking at the traces left in the forest, Zhu Peng can almost touch it here.

At this time, the dragon scale blood skeleton that had been following Zhu Peng's side held a double hammer and rushed up to hammer and kill the seriously injured ogre.

Undead creatures have the advantage of being tireless and have endless physical strength, even if the bones are damaged, they can be passively repaired by absorbing and transforming the master's magic power, and the average power-type third-order warrior can't wield the double hammer in the hands of the dragon scale blood skeleton for too long-lasting combat, but the mutant skeleton can always wield it as long as it can be picked up at the beginning.

This is also one of the advantages of undead creatures lacking spiritual wisdom over humans, and if the human side cannot fight quickly, the more physical energy consumption will be more serious, and the chances of winning will often be lower. Comparing the physical strength gauge and the magic gauge to the same consumption, this is undoubtedly a tragedy, and it is full of all kinds of tragedies.

Finish the kill, deliberately let the dragon scale blood skeleton bathe in the blood of the ogre, the necrons are naturally bloodthirsty, let them bathe in blood, on the one hand, you can reduce your own mana consumption, on the other hand, you can also try to let the dragon scale blood skeleton plunder/steal the power of the killed...... Although most of the time it is a failure, as long as you try enough times, you will always succeed.

When he rode back to the point where the caravan was attacked, he was surprised to find that the remaining merchants were actually surrounding Victor's family, and the two sides were at loggerheads.

It turned out that when Zhu Peng drove away the ogre with his mutated skeleton, old Victor asked everyone to come forward to enjoy the grandeur of the nobility and the treatment as a benefactor, but the merchant was grieving because of the casualties of his companions, and one of the young men was holding his dead father, and it was the time of grief.

The two sides did not speculate, and gradually clashed, Danny and the veteran side will inevitably choose to maintain the authority of the old Victor, and many people have just died on the caravan's side, and the one who took the lead is the only son of the dead caravan leader, coupled with the contradiction that the veterans shot everyone before, the conflict between the two sides soon intensified, and at this time Zhu Peng returned.

"Hey, don't you want revenge?"

"Yes. No, this crossbow is for you, come and kill me. Had I not ordered them to defend themselves, your father might not have died at all. He stepped forward and threw the already wound crossbow in his hand to the angry and indignant young man.

This time, it really made the young man stunned, looking at the strange skeleton on the side of the necromancer's horse, covered in blood, the young man was eager to try but obviously didn't dare.

"Why, scared? Oh, I'll take it back. With that, Zhu Peng summoned back the mutant skeleton soldier beside him, and at this moment, the young man in front of him suddenly lifted his crossbow and pulled the trigger.

With a wave of his right hand, Zhu Peng's bone claws covering the back of his hand that were stronger than steel flicked the crossbow bolt away, and then the man on horseback smiled and ordered, "Kill them all." ”

Neither a beautiful woman, nor even a good-looking boy, dare to congest sex in front of me? Young man, you really don't understand the preciousness of life.

"Senior Victor, is this really no problem? after all, they are also citizens of the Empire, this kind of thing ......"

"Why did you let him shoot me with an arrow? This is a memory crystal ball, if you commit the following crimes, even if you go to the highest court of the empire, I will be acquitted, and taking 10,000 steps back is just a loss of money. "One hand is playing with the memory crystal ball, this thing is a relatively expensive alchemy product, which is generally used by nobles to increase their interest, and the market price is only one thousand gold coins, but a caravan of more than fifty people, high-risk transportation on the border of the empire, no one will take this trip without the profit of eighteen thousand gold coins, as long as the group of merchants Zhu Peng is killed, this wave is pure profit.

Of course, if the young man just now finally chose to let go and not attack, Zhu Peng would not be greedy for this money and deliberately embarrassed him, there is no way to do good or bad, only people invite themselves, and before planning to kill, you can't just be prepared to kill others, but also be prepared to be killed by others.

At this moment, Danny is actually interceding for that group of businessmen in disguise, but Zhu Peng's memory crystal ball blocked all the remaining words of him, and the possibility of being discovered itself is very small, and there is no reason not to make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of profits from blood without cost and risk, this business is really unreasonable.

Whether they drew their knives to resist, cried, fled, or knelt down to beg for mercy, the last remnants of the caravan were killed, and if the young man's father had been in charge, such a thing would not have happened.

The two would go to Winnie City together in good spirits, and perhaps become business partners in the future, but the father died first to save his son, and his son took his father's life's caravan to ruin in order to vent his grief and anger...... It's a pity, but adults must learn to control their emotions after entering society, because it's not like you're looking at your parents, and there are people who are used to you everywhere.

In some extreme cases, the people you provoke can be more terrifying than you can imagine!

Killing all the caravan people who had already suffered heavy losses without damage, receiving the property and counting the goods, Zhu Peng announced that everyone would get a share, which completely mobilized the morale of the veterans, and they felt that the boss they followed this time was not only ruthless and strong, but also not stingy at all.

In the process of counting the goods, some jewelry and luxury goods were found, which made Zhu Peng's profit estimate of this caravan increase again, but with goods worth more than 100,000 gold coins, he actually hired about 20 escorts.

It may also be that this trade route is already very familiar, but it turned out that it was unlucky enough to run into an ogre community that had just migrated, and this time it was saved and his life was saved.

Zhu Peng gave a box of jewelry to Old Victor and asked him to divide it among the female dependents, even the gold and silver jewelry stained with blood was full of temptation, no, it should be more tempting, because it was also accompanied by a sense of power to do what you want.

Compared with jewelry and gemstones, even this power is more intoxicating for women. Old Victor's two wives and Daxiu's two younger sisters, they all suddenly saw that a powerful Victor family was forming and flourishing, and with the hope of a better tomorrow, most of them fell asleep around the fire.

That night, Zhu Peng took Danny and five veterans to the ogre's lair to search, because they had just migrated, and there was not much accumulated wealth, but there was a strong female ogre and five blue fat cubs.

After the female ogre found out that she was defeated by the invaders, she actually wanted to kill all the cubs, but was directly killed by Zhu Peng at the moment when she turned back.

The five-headed ogre, if cultivated well, is the strong third-order combat power of the five-headed future, and it is really no better to use it to guard the family and deter the people.

When most of the creatures are young, because they have no other ability to survive, most of them are very cute, and the same is true of the five-headed blue fat cub crawling around, they are very good to feed and are willing to eat almost anything, and it is enough for everyone to eat the leftover food and leave some soup base for them.

On the rest of the journey, Lisa and Elia had a great time with the five fat blue cubs, the teenage girls holding the chubby blue balls and even dressing them with beautiful clothes and bows...... Fortunately, the blue fat man has low intelligence, and he should not be able to remember the events of his childhood, otherwise these future war beasts, killing weapons, recall today's life, and I don't know if they will be so ashamed that they will pick up the mace and give it to themselves.

The rest of the journey was smooth, and the group arrived at the Imperial city of Winnie.

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

When you arrive in this seaside city, the first thing you do is find a place to stay, and the second thing you do is handle the goods.

Because Zhu Peng and his entourage did not have a familiar channel, the total amount of goods in their hands was only sold for 100,000 gold coins, if it were not for Zhu Peng's identity as a high-level necromancer, this number would be even lower, and the goods of 1780,000 gold coins would be at least reduced by more than half of the price.

Originally, he only planned to operate slowly after going to the island, but now that he had money in his hands, Zhu Peng directly took Danny and others to the slave market to buy slaves.

People, people, people!

If you want to develop, this is the most basic and important prerequisite, sometimes the excessive population is indeed a burden on the society, the collapse of the ancient Chinese feudal dynasty, many times because the social structure and productivity at that time can no longer bear the number of too large population.

However, if there is a lack of population, there is no way to talk about economic development and overall quantity, and after all, the advantages of a large population far outweigh the disadvantages of economic development.

Although there are still some natives on the island, these natives are not domesticated for one or two generations, and they can not be integrated into the main body of civilization at all, and even as slaves, they can only be the most low-level slaves, with no craftsmanship, wild and untamable, and even ugly in appearance.

Bringing his subordinates to the slave market, there are human slaves who show their bodies like livestock and are being sold, if you are a simple earthling, suddenly come here from the era of civilization in the 21st century, I am afraid that it will be very uncomfortable to see this scene...... Zhu Peng is very adaptable, because the wizarding world also has a slave market, and the scale is much larger.

Slaves, this term sounds very cheap, but in fact it is not cheap, and it is not something that ordinary people can easily consume.

An adult continental male costs thirty gold coins, and an adult continental woman also needs twenty gold coins, which is different from the wizarding world, where slaves are only sold by the natives of the Heavenly Plane who have been conquered, while in this world, as long as they make money, they even sell their own people.

In the process of walking, Zhu Peng saw a slave owner selling the wife of an immortal imperial prisoner, although she was old and decrepit and had loose skin, the identity of the former official's wife added a lot of points to her.

Zhu Peng didn't roar when he saw injustice, the Chinese Warrior Association was also begging to sell children and daughters when it was the worst, and no one saved them at that time, and later with the gradual strengthening of Li Jingxuan and Zhu Peng, the entire Chinese Warrior Association became stronger, and the sect began to buy slaves in large quantities.

Some ordinary families have accumulated for twenty or thirty years, and finally bought a fox girl and catwoman as a daughter-in-law for the children of the family, who are young, beautiful and well-behaved and obedient, filial to their in-laws to take care of their husbands, and have a good room for IKEA, which is a cost-effective mode of life in the Chinese Samurai Association.

"First two thousand slaves, two-thirds of the male ** subordinates, and a few more stonemasons, simple tools ......" Zhu Peng had a case in his heart, so the money was spent like flowing water, and he even had to buy a big ship and recruit experienced captains and sailors, because a lifeline like this could not but be in his own hands.

The island of Anstein hangs in solitary straits, and if you don't have a ship of your own, what's the difference between being exiled?

"Danny, you're going to be captain for a while. Because it is a fixed route, it does not require much knowledge of navigation, which is a very fatal point, and I am not so relieved if I hand it over to others. ”

After hearing this, Danny agreed very happily, but even so Zhu Peng didn't plan to let him do this for a long time, a landlubber wearing heavy armor on the ship, especially the combat power of the heavily armored swordsman on the ship was seriously damaged, if it was in the open sea, I am afraid that any wild pirate captain would be able to clean up Danny, but fortunately, Anstann Island echoed that the mainland was not too far away, and pirates were not too rampant.

Buying slaves, buying big ships, recruiting sailors and even captains, in fact, even the caravan that was completely wiped out did not have such financial resources, because they themselves had huge costs, the cost of goods, the cost of manpower, and in the end, the benefits had to be shared by many people, and there were not too many of them that really fell into everyone's hands.

However, Zhu Peng and the others have removed all the expenditure items, and the original trickle has become a hammer deal without capital, so they can have such a wealth in a short period of time.

It cost more than 60,000 gold coins to buy slaves and add tools, and more than 30,000 gold coins were spent to buy sea ships and recruit captains and sailors, and Zhu Peng had no money on hand in an instant, and even if he couldn't make money quickly, it wouldn't be long before just feeding these people in his hands was a huge problem.

It's not just Zhu Peng who knows this, old Victor also expressed his anxiety worried after basically understanding the situation on Anstann Island in Vene City, in the old man's opinion, his son is too eager for quick success, but where can he understand Zhu Peng's mentality.

The day is far away, seize the day!

Zhu Peng has no interest in slowly playing small business games, and quickly builds up the big framework, he has too many means in his mind to brush money in the current social background, not that the high-level lifeforms in this world are not smart enough and not wise enough, but the civilization form of this high-level demon world is like this, the more high-level lifeforms are considered for their own survival and advancement, and the same is true for their subordination.

As for the consideration of the people at the bottom...... Is there any point in wasting time and energy on those untouchables?

In the eyes of many people, Anstann Island is a large barren island, but in Zhu Peng's eyes, the sea water that surrounds this island is an inexhaustible source of money.

While the sea ships were sending slaves to the island in large numbers, Zhu Peng had already found a suitable place to open up the salt pans.

It may seem strange to many, but in the Middle Ages, salt and sugar were scarce and high-priced goods.

The ancient Chinese salt merchants on the earth plane were rich and rich, and the central government even monopolized salt and iron, using them as strategic materials.

Because salt is a necessity for the human body, without salt intake, people will gradually become weak, and diseases will eventually lead to death, and the main way to obtain salt on the mainland is to rely on naturally formed salt ponds, so that relying on the weather to eat, salt will of course become a shunt-after commodity.

Zhu Peng bought enough slaves, quarried stones on the flat island of Anstann, established salt quarries and salt pans in large areas, and made stone slabs by stonemasons, and after paving them in a suitable place, Zhu Peng cast a spell similar to fossils into mud to form the stone slabs into a material similar to the cement floor, and then introduced a certain amount of seawater to pour it into the sun and then exposed to the sun.

In particular, Zhu Peng also knows that the method of Zhonghe filtration can easily make coarse sea salt into refined salt, maybe the exclusive business of drying salt method will not be done for too long, because the technical content is too low, but as long as the refined salt method is kept secret, it will not be a problem to make this money for more than 100 years.

In fact, it is really difficult to use such a shoddy and wanton method of brushing money by those high-level lifeforms of the Immortal Continent?

It can be said that there is no difficulty at all, but those fourth- and fifth-order high-level lifeforms are neither short of sugar nor salt, and they are almost not short of money, since there is no need for this at all, then even if they are as wise as the sea, how can they think in this direction.

What's more, the cross-professional thinking barrier, which seems to be as thin as a piece of paper and can be broken with a light touch, is actually so solid that the vast majority of people cannot get rid of its shackles for a lifetime, which is the so-called comfort zone of thinking, like an invisible steel barrier.

Because it is completely based on the script, and follows the classic development tutorial of the spy wizard, the development of Anstan Island has begun to appear in just two months, and the sea fishing provides meat supplements for the slaves, and even because of Zhu Peng's development of Anstan Island, even the originally deserted small fishing village on this island has gradually flourished.

It's not just a salt factory, but also a burning forest, planting crops and grain, and animal husbandry, even if the income of these industries is not very high, but the food lifeline can not be held in the hands of others, at least to ensure a minimum degree of self-sufficiency, this base will have a solid foundation.

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

Time flies quickly.

In just half a year or so, the "Longbow Family" Victor family is famous for refining snow salt, if someone looks at the history of the rise of the Victor family in the past six months, they will find that the arrangement of this family is like a pocket watch with tight gears.

Such a running family is of course as dangerous as walking a tightrope, but once it continues to succeed, it also makes the expansion of the family's power extremely fast.

Because of the initial focus on limiting production, refined snow salt was not produced in large quantities, but was sold as a luxury product along with ordinary coarse bitter sea salt, so refined snow salt was gradually hyped up as a high-class luxury product. The final price is compared to gold, and if you are not at the level of a great nobleman or a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, you can't afford or even buy it.

At the same time, Victor also made and sold a large number of salted fish for dumping, which is a very cost-effective commodity for civilians, not expensive, easy to store, and salt and meat in one bite, which can be said to be extremely beneficial.

With the three commodities of refined white snow salt, coarse bitter sea salt and salted fish, the Victor family completely penetrated the upper, middle and lower social classes on the mainland, refined white snow salt was aimed at the upper class, salted fish was aimed at the middle class, and coarse bitter sea salt was aimed at the bottom people.

Because of the large amount of income and profit, the family naturally did not have to squeeze those slaves to death, and in just half a year, they began to pick out the most docile and hard-working promotion to the civilian class, and Danny even selected an infantry regiment of two hundred people from among the slaves he kept buying.

Their lovers, families, possessions and even everything are on this thriving island, so the will to fight of the infantry regiment is very high, plus the lord Daxiu Victor is rich and never stingy, the equipment of the infantry regiment can even be comparable to that of the first-line regiments of the Empire, and the twenty-five veterans who initially followed were all mixed into the infantry regiment as non-commissioned officers and captains, and most of them directly took their families to the island of Anstann.

On the one hand, he is indeed optimistic about the development prospects of Anstein Island and the Victor family, and on the other hand, he is also making a silent but sincere allegiance to the lord.

Half a year after the Victor family moved to the island of Anstein.

Dressed in a fine gauze skirt and walking into the carriage, lying on her back among the soft cloud-like pillows, Eliya only felt as if she had had an incomparably sweet dream for the past six months. So much so that the girl did not dare to open her eyes many times, and when she woke up again after a night of deep sleep, she found that she was still the daughter of a small-town prostitute, and that she had to do all kinds of heavy labor every day, facing a cold and cold mother whose nominal father was as cold as herself.

The cold and painful life of the past is entangled with the beautiful life of the moment, and the fifteen-year-old Ilia is almost out of breath like two pythons.

Now I eat the most delicious food every day, I can read books of pure entertainment, and even the most noble noble lady and lady dare not maintain decentness and respect for myself, because my surname: Victor, Illya Victor, the second lady of the Longbow family.

"Elia Victor...... Elija Victor. "With his eyes closed, he whispered the name, he had never hated his mother so much, but he had never loved her so much, because of her, he had the surname Victor, but almost everyone knew that this surname did not belong to him.

Elija is three years younger than Lisa, and the life expectancy of people in this world is relatively long, and because old Victor originally planned to squeeze the labor of his eldest daughter for a few more years, Lisa is eighteen or nineteen years old and is still not married. At this moment, there is no need to rush to get married, with the passage of half a year, the number of suitors is so large that it is almost breaking the threshold of Victor's family, and the name of the count's heir has even appeared.

However, the elder brother seems to spoil his sister too much, no matter how superior the conditions of the proposer are, as long as Lisa says that he doesn't like it, the elder brother will immediately drive the other party away...... Thinking of Daxiu's brother's affection for Lisa, the fire in Elia's heart was about to ignite her whole person.

Although Brother Daxiu's material provision to everyone is basically the same, Illya knows in her heart that it is different.

Only Lisa can disturb him no matter what time she wants, only Lisa can lose her temper for no reason but is still only spoiled by her brother, only Lisa dares to secretly say to herself: "My brother has changed, my brother doesn't love me as much as before......"

God, when Da Xiu Ge went to study in St. Tancienburg, you were only five or six years old, how much could Da Xiu Ge spoil you at that time? For your sake, he did not hesitate to offend a real earl?

Almost everyone felt that Baron Victor had reached the point of pampering his sister, and he even offered a million gold coins as his sister's dowry, as long as anyone could make her smile and win her heart.

Elia knew very well that when she was to be married, there would definitely be no such treatment, no, there was actually a clear difference now, all the people who courted Lisa were real nobles, and those who were like themselves were ...... The butler's son, a promising knight, and a bunch of Victor relatives who popped up out of nowhere.

What's even more terrifying is that both old Victor and his mother showed acquiescence and even approval, and those miscellaneous fish were compared to Da Xiuge.

Get up and look at yourself in the bronze mirror in the carriage.

With white skin, the same black hair as Brother Daxiu, a pretty little face and fiery red lips, the gauze skirt on his body is untied, and some green carcasses are already very tempting.

Illya knew in her heart that she was beautiful, that she had inherited her mother's beauty, and that beauty was a woman's greatest weapon.

“...... Except for Brother Daxiu, I don't follow anyone, and I don't marry anyone. When the carriage came to a slow halt and Elia descended from above, she was again a perfect lady of the utmost modest order.

In terms of aristocratic demeanor, Lisa is far inferior to Elija, in half a year, Elija almost completed ten years of study to become a noble lady with masochistic hard work, in contrast, Lisa will bounce around like a wild girl many times.

"Miss Elia, the Baron is discussing business with Captain Planck and Mr. Danny, but he will allow you to go in as soon as he learns of your arrival, but please be as quiet as possible. The family butler in front of him was a relatively good relative of old Victor, although he was very unkind to the relatives who disappeared when these families were declining and surged up like flies when the family was prosperous, Illya still bowed decently to show that she understood.

The relationship between the big family and the vassal relatives itself is like this, the Victor family's business is too large, and there is a shortage of manpower in all aspects, so it is beneficial to properly accept some vassal relatives, and these vassal relatives are relatively high, although some people need to change their names and surnames because of this.

Walking into the living room of the small castle, a waiter soon served a drink, and Elia was dignified enough to sip it gently, from which she could directly see her brother's office.

There was a long, crimson table, and a young baron, who didn't look much older than Elia herself, was frowning and listening...... Of course, this is her brother, a man who has moved the entire immortal empire with his excellent management skills, and a man he loves to the core.

"Although I expected this day for a long time, I didn't expect it to come so quickly. "Looking at the paperwork in hand, according to the informant's secret report, because of the huge commercial profits, the rise of Anstan Island has attracted the attention of several pirates.

The sea is too vast and vast, it seems to be able to contain all the evils in this world, so the thieves on the sea are almost unscrupulous, anyway, even if they commit a crime, drill into the sea, how many years can even the powerhouses of the Holy Land search?

At this moment, they set their sights on the Longbow family again. It's a pity that Zhu Peng thought of today when he was running Anstan Island, not only the power arrangement of the family itself, but even the pirate interior has been inserted into some people's hands.
