Chapter 706: Dominator
His Highness Randall's convoy braved the afternoon sun and headed west on the roads of the Rand Empire.
At the end of January during the fire season, the temperature gradually rose, and hundreds of elite cavalry all changed into summer light armor, but they were still sweating. In such weather, the long journey and the weight of armor are a severe test for the will and physical strength of ordinary people.
A six-legged dragon dragged a red copper carriage in the center of the procession, a huge carriage resembling a copper-wrapped hut, with four pairs of wheels turning on the rammed pavement, leaving heavy ruts.
A gift from the Silver Tower, the carriage was designed by several master foundries and built by renowned craftsmen from the city of El Al-Holy for its finest materials, exquisite in its conception, luxurious and functional, and could not be faulted by Victor's eyes. In particular, the interior materials and design structure of the carriage fully take into account the effect of sound insulation and shock absorption, as long as the doors and ventilation sunroof are closed, even if the beginner knight is close to the carriage, it is difficult to hear the movement in the carriage.
The special car of the big man emphasizes the closed nature, like a mobile private mansion, where you can deal with hidden things without worrying about being eavesdropped by outsiders.
At this moment, the doors of the carriage were closed, the sunroof for ventilation and light was also lowered with colored crystals, and the bell hung outside the ventilation hole in the dark part of the carriage, which jingled as the carriage moved, muffling the conversation in the carriage.
Charlotte's blonde hair was draped, she was wearing a pink spider silk petal dress, and her slender legs in white stockings stretched out from under the skirt and pressed diagonally together. She snuggled up to her master like a lazy pet cat, her green eyes looking curiously at the young man sitting across from her.
Charlotte loved Charlotte's elaborate carriage from the Silver Tower, but Gillian preferred it. Miss Chebman took possession of the carriage and Victor for four whole days, and Charlotte had no chance to experience the new carriage. When Victor finally persuaded Gillian to leave, Charlotte immediately got into the carriage and changed into a beautiful and sexy petal dress, but Victor actually summoned an accompanying young scholar to get on the bus and talk.
Victor wanted Charlotte to change her clothes first, and she put on a pair of stockings and leaned on Victor's side, not shying away from the presence of elementary school students.
Charlotte is like this, and Victor is also helpless. She had never had any big ambitions, and she swore that the knightess were only part-time, and that the favorite concubine of the Earl of Golden-Eyed was the first identity she identified with.
Neither the Knights of Oath nor the Favored Concubines are protected by the principle of companionship and are completely dependent on their masters, and therefore have the right to accompany them in the secret meetings of the family. Victor's favored Gillian was coaxed out of the carriage by him, much to Charlotte's delight.
It stands to reason that the status of the pet concubine is very low, and whatever the owner says is what it is, but Charlotte is still a senior female knight, and she has a certain weight in any family, and she is now keen to play the role of the favorite concubine, and she does not take the little scholar of the Randall family in her eyes at all.
Of course, this is contempt, and if it were a university scholar from another family, Charlotte would not be so unscrupulous. Victor can't do anything about Charlotte's willfulness, and the identity of the Oath Knight and Favorite is what he said personally.
The little scholar opposite Victor was handsome and elegant, about 18 or 9 years old, the age of the young Muai. At this moment, he sat upright, his eyes were clear, his gaze was calm, and he showed a humble and respectful demeanor and seemed to be down-to-earth and generous.
Charlotte was originally known for her beauty in the aristocratic circle of the South, and when she was the Viscountess of Buryatia, she also paid attention to dignified and elegant appearance, but now she is a senior female knight who resonates with 24 elements.
At present, the calm and steady performance of the elementary school made Victor nod secretly,
His name is Paul Randall. At the beginning of the Randall family's development, the old spy Barol was ordered by Vic to adopt and abduct a group of young children among the homeless people in Blackcastle Town and train them as family agents. Paul was the most wonderful child of all.
Later, Victor wanted to train scholars who would be loyal to his family, so he chose 13-year-old Paul and another 12-year-old girl, Mary, to be adopted by Nelson as adopted sons and daughters, and then spent a lot of money to send them to study in the Silver and White Tower.
Six years have passed, and the talented little spy has become a handsome and upright young scholar with extraordinary bearing. He excelled in his studies, was praised by the mentor of the Silver White Scholar, and had also undergone two body reshapes, refined the Level 2 Source Blood Secret Method, and was not far behind the Beginner Trainee Knight in terms of strength and combat effectiveness.
Little Paul, who was born as an outcast, can have today's achievements just reflects the rise of the Randall family, in fact, except for those who unfortunately died, most of the little spies held power and stood alone in the mercury organization.
Victor, who founded the Randall family and changed the lives of many people, looked at Paul as if he were admiring his own work, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Paul, Mercury planted eyeliner next to Raymond Peter, and cultivated power in the Eastern Alliance, both of which were planned by you...... Let's hear about the specific situation. β
"Yes. Paul said respectfully, "Three years ago, we chose the Knight of Vammun, who was serving hard labor in the defense line of the Twilight Forest, as the shadow son of mercury. Lord Todd and I took advantage of Knight Jacob Ludwig's hatred of Raymond Peter and orchestrated an attack. Disguised as a ranger, Lord Todd first manages to get close to Jacob's knight and become his follower, and then secretly conspires with Vammon to tell him about Lord Jacob's prominence and the fact that Raymond Peter killed Jacob's fiancΓ©e. β
"Lord Todd convinces Vamun that Jacob Ludwig is ready to take advantage of Raymond Peter's tour of the Twilight Forest to attack and kill him to avenge his fiancΓ©e. Lord Todd half-invites and half-threatens the knight of Vamun to participate in the assassination, and if he does not agree, he will kill his entire family. β
On the day of the operation, Varmon lured Raymond Peter's party to an ambush as planned, and Lord Todd took the knight Jacob Ludwig there and created a chance encounter. Jacob had no idea that his true identity had been seized by mercury, nor did he know about the assassination. He was completely kept in the dark...... Lord Todd's elite guards deliberately clashed with Raymond Peter's bodyguards, and when he drew his sword and threatened, he was shot by Raymond Peter, causing a scuffle between the two sides. β
With the intervention of the accompanying priest, the bloodshed between the two sides soon ceased, and three followers were killed on Lord Todd's side. β
Of course, the young master of the Peter family did not dare to have a duel with the Grand Knight of the Knight of the Castle, and the priest's persuasion was fruitless, so the two silver knights who were responsible for protecting the Young Master Raymond intervened, and they fought with the Knight Jacob, but because of the identity of the other party, they only blocked and did not go all out. β
"Thirty-four family dead lurking in the depths of the forest received a signal to launch a surprise attack on Raymond Peter's team. Jacob's followers were also involved in a desperate struggle, but Raymond's side was outnumbered, and there were accompanying priests and paladins, and although the family's secret law dead men were all good at it, they were still at a disadvantage. β
As expected, Varmon saw that the limelight was not right, and instead of taking the opportunity to assassinate Raymond Peter as agreed in advance, he tried his best to protect the other party. β
"In this battle, all the dead soldiers of the family were killed, and there was no survivor. Jacob broke through alone, his followers were killed or wounded, and all the survivors were captured. As for Lord Todd, according to the plan, he had been on the periphery, and fled into the Twilight Forest in advance, where he was picked up by another team of men and escaped from the place of the incident. β
Later, the Duke of Medin of the Kingdom of Seuss personally intervened and captured the Jacob knight Vammon desperately to help Raymond Peter, who was seriously injured and won the favor of the other party...... What we didn't expect was that Vammon actually did not accept Young Master Peter's solicitation, and only begged Young Master Peter to take his minor second and youngest sons as attendants, and he himself still took his family to serve hard labor in the Dusk Forest Defense Line. β
Apparently, Vammon was aware of the problem with the attack and suspected that he was being targeted by the forces behind Lord Todd. But it doesn't matter, a guilty knight who has been stripped of his noble title will never dare to confess everything to the Peter family, we will visit the Vamon knight at the right time, and manipulate the two squires around Young Master Peter through his connections, at least we can get the information of Raymond Peter. β
Paul paused, then continued, "I suspect that the Knight of Vamun is ready to be used by us, and I suggest that Lord Todd try to place an elite guard of the family around Vamun to protect his life so that this line will not be completely broken. β
He went on to elaborate on the process by which Mercury cultivated a secret force in the Eastern Alliance.
Mercury quietly arranged three groups, one group was a few old rangers and their followers, the leader was named Natal, Mercury's insider agent and 12 elite guards were engulfed hundreds of outcasts to join them, and the second group was a guilty nobleman who had completed his service in the Twilight Forest, and all the knights in their family were killed, and the rest of the clan could only be exiled to the Eastern Alliance. This time, Todd pretended to be seduced by one of the guilty noblewomen, Jessica, and mobilized a group of men from the mountain stronghold, plus 20 alchemist humans, disguised as followers, and led these guilty nobles to move to the shores of Lake Fort in the Eastern Alliance, where it took two years to open a settlement nearby. He also set up a fake death to escape and return to Randall's territory, and the third group is a gang of mercury-stricken villains, who have fled to the coastline of the Eastern Alliance because they are cornered, and their leader is called Sharpider, and there are also mercury spies and alchemy militia infiltrators.
Natal, Jessica, and Razorjack, the leaders of these three small forces have one thing in common, they are ignorant of mercury, but they rely on the force that mercury has placed around them.
"Todd ...... this guy"
After hearing this, Victor shook his head with a smile, and instead said, "Balor regards you as the most proud disciple and wants to give you the position of the leader of the mercury, what do you mean?"
Paul smiled bitterly and said, "Master, Master Todd will kill me." β
Victor laughed, nodded and said, "I'm also optimistic about Todd, he craves the position of Mercury Leader more than you." And you, now want to be a scholar?"
Paul lowered his head and said sincerely, "Master, I went to study in the Silver Tower, and I realized that my vision was too narrow before. My classmates were all children of the nobility, and each of them was smarter than me, but I dare say that my knowledge was superior to theirs. I want to be able to use my knowledge to serve my master, and I also have the ambition to be the head scholar of my family. β
Victor didn't say anything directly, Wen Yan said, "You and Mary are both adults, you grew up together, and you studied together in the Silver and White Tower, I heard that she has a crush on you, why didn't you accept her affection?"
Paul Zhengse said, "Master, Mary and I are both secret agents cultivated by the family, everything we have belongs to the master, and our marriage can only be governed by the master. β
Victor asked, "Do you like Mary?"
Paul hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Master, I have no affection for Mary. β
"If I marry Mary to the groom of Mercury Manor, shall I allow you to object once you object?"
"Master, I have no objection...... Everything is according to your will!" Paul said without hesitation.
Victor originally selected Paul and Mary to study in the Silver and White Tower, and the most basic objective condition was that they were outstanding, and beautiful people were more easily accepted by the aristocratic circle.
The Randall family invested a lot of resources in the two elementary school students, in addition to paying the high annual tuition fees to the Silver and White Tower scholars, and regularly providing precious potions and places to reshape their bodies.
The body remodeling invented by the church is to tap the inner life potential of the holy warriors, sharpen the strength of the mind, repair the physical defects and improve the life level of the holy warriors. For ordinary people, body remodeling is undoubtedly the most effective plastic surgery method, short people can become taller, teeth can become white and neat, eyes can become clear and pure, rough skin can become delicate and smooth, small defects inside and outside the body will be significantly improved in the process of remodeling, as long as the recipient has a strong desire to become beautiful.
Paul and Mary have undergone two body reshapes, and they are in the environment of the nobility of the Silver and White Tower, and their desire for beauty and grooming is definitely stronger than that of being thick and powerful. Especially Mary, it is the nature of a young girl to love beauty, and her original eight-point appearance is now comparable to that of an average female trainee knight.
As far as Victor knows, both Paul and Mary met unknown admirers during their studies at the Silver Tower, including the children of nobles. It costs a lot of money to train scholars, and if you can use love to pull Lord Nelson's adopted son and daughter into your own family, it is very cost-effective. Their adoptive father was only a small lord after all, and it was no big deal to abduct them. However, with the fame of His Highness Randall, no one dared to fight Paul and Mary's idea, just as not many dared to steal the dragon's treasure.
Paul was right that spies were not vassals or freemen, they were more like the private property of their masters. Paul and Mary's personal feelings mean nothing in front of Victor, who can give Mary as a gift to a family member if necessary.
In this case, Paul would have made a very serious mistake if he accepted Mary's show of affection.
Victor believes that Paul actually doesn't look down on Mary, he is capable and ambitious, and he is determined to become the chief scholar of the Randall family, so he is qualified to marry a real noblewoman, even if the other party's appearance is average, it is more conducive to his own development than asking his master to marry Mary.
Once the deceased of the family is given marriage by the master and forms a family, they have the status of vassals.
Young Paul came from a humble background, but he was bent on camping in high society, and his ambition, perseverance, knowledge, and intelligence were actually irrelevant in Victor's opinion, the key was that he knew how to follow the rules.
Women serving the children of the nobility, and men marrying noble women, was in itself a way for the aristocracy to absorb talents and stabilize the family power. Victor also married Nelson's sister Lilia in the first place, which made the War Bear Mercenary his staunchest supporter.
As the great lord, the Count of the Golden Eyes is the beneficiary of the order, and Paul's desire to marry a noble girl is completely in line with the rules set by the nobles, as long as he is really capable enough, there is nothing wrong with it.
Victor is disappointed in the innocent Mary, although she has achieved success in her studies and has not yet done anything out of the ordinary, she has forgotten her duty. The Randall family spent resources to train her to be a scholar, but it wasn't for her to go to the Silver Tower to fall in love.
Ambition is not terrible, what is terrible is that the wildfire in the heart will burn the fence of order, and one day it will burn itself and endanger the interests of the family.
After all, Mary is a personal belongings belonging to the Earl of Goldeneye, and Victor invests a lot of money in her, preferring to marry her to the groom of the manor rather than cheapen outsiders for nothing.
Of course, the groom of Silvermoon Manor is not worthy of a young female scholar who is as beautiful as a flower. For Mary, Victor had a different plan.
He said to Paul, "I am pleased with your performance and am ready to give you a reward...... Sit still, relax......"
A stream of air rolled up inside the carriage, blowing through the cold glazed stone platform used to cool down, enveloping Paul's body, causing him to feel the cool wind penetrate his pores and skin and flow through his body. The young elementary school scholar sat there and did not dare to move, and even tried to restrain his superfluous thoughts. In the dark, he realized that his master could see all his mysteries at this moment, and what he knew or did not know was hidden in the eyes of his master, and even his own life and death were in the master's thoughts.
After a while, Victor stopped the insight of the wind element, and said lightly, "It's okay, you go down first." β
Touching the dark golden eyes of his master, Paul seemed to be facing a god, with only deep awe, and said in a tone that was almost reverent, "Paul obeys your will, noble master." β
Paul is a well-cultivated talent from the Randall family, but no matter how intelligent he is, he is just an ordinary person. And nobles with knightly blood are naturally smarter than mortals, and the gap between the two cannot be bridged by acquired efforts. Victor gained insight into Paul's inner potential through the wind element, deduced the characteristics of his bloodline, and planned to create a set of psychic bloodline secrets for him, aiming to improve his intelligence as a reward for him.
This is actually a key experiment, involving the simulation of X-3's Psychic Bloodline Secret Method, which can obtain some of the functions of fast calculation and super memory.
There are definitely risks involved in experiments, and Victor, Sylvia, and Wizard Tofer, the three top transcendents worked closely together, and it took more than half a year to master two mature sets of psychic bloodline secret methods. One is a normal psychic warrior with a talent for life tenacity, and the other is a knight with a secret method that allows a trainee knight to gain a talent for life tenacity. In the process of perfecting the secret method, many of the experimenters had problems.
If Paul cultivates the ordinary third-level source blood secret method, combined with the potion, he will basically not make a mistake. But he may not want to become a strong man who is nearly 2 meters tall and weighs more than 100 kilograms. Since this is the case, no matter how much he cultivates the third-level source blood secret method, he can only get twice the result with half the effort, and it is difficult to succeed.
The Soul Blood Secret Method is the first to emphasize the spiritual will of the cultivator.
Regarding the secret method of simulating X-3's soul bloodline, Victor has no shortage of test materials, alchemy humans can toss as much as he wants, and Centaur Hills can also provide him with many death row prisoners. However, Paul's yearning for aristocratic scholars, his perseverance and perseverance were important conditions that were difficult for other experimenters to possess.
Victor plans to take advantage of the fact that the old wizard Tofowen is still alive, and combine his insight talent to create a secret method of spiritual bloodline that simulates X-3. In this way, the risk can be minimized, and even if something goes wrong, Victor can detect it in time and stop the experiment to avoid damaging Paul.
It's just that Victor doesn't need to make it clear to Paul now.
As soon as Paul left the carriage, a pair of graceful, white arms wrapped around Victor's neck, Charlotte asked affectionately, "My master, who is the Knight of Vamont?"
