On a hill in the southwest corner of the city of Bema, the 800-year-old Fort Heruny is lit up at night.

The parking lot outside the castle was filled with all the latest luxury cars of all brands that could be found in the world, and the average price of each car was equivalent to the wealth that ordinary middle-class families in Beima City could obtain in their lifetime.

But compared to the dozen or so more expensive pure-blooded silver pegasus or even unicorns that were locked up in the castle public stables not far away, and did not belong to the human world, the so-called luxury cars were really not worth mentioning.

These "monsters" who were brought out of the phantom world by human demon hunters and lived in the human world since they were young have become symbols of top wealth under the deliberate packaging of some people. In fact, they can live by eating grass, and after entering the human world, they live a life of luxury even more than ninety percent of human beings.

Every silver pegasus and unicorn registered in the biological management department of the relevant phantom realm in the human world has a huge independent dwelling, and the food they eat every day is so fine that the poor can't even imagine it, and more importantly, the keeper and jockey of these animals must at least start as a diamond-level demon hunter.

Together with the breeder's salary and bonuses, the cost of raising and the high luxury tax that must be paid to the government of the country of registration each year, the cost of raising a horse is enough to feed nearly 2,000 residents of the North City of Sea Lion City......

Geng Jiangyue dressed as a jockey, led the second dog, and followed Ivan, the second-in-command member of the Education Committee of the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance, through the gate at the bottom of the mountain, all the way to the stable next to the castle. Listening to Ivan's brief introduction of the value of the second dog, while feeling in his heart that human life is not as expensive as the life of animals, he couldn't help but think that the panda was engaged in community smuggling in Belon City, and he could really make a fortune.

I don't know where the people over there in Belon City got so many silver Pegasus......

Geng Jiangyue walked into the stable, and when he saw that there was no one in the stable, he immediately threw Ergou back to [My Universe], turned a corner and followed Ivan out, looking like Ivan's bodyguard. Ivan, who was kidnapped, couldn't help but sweat slightly, and warned Geng Jiangyue in a low voice: "Don't mess around, if something happens to our leader, Sea Lion City will be retaliated against." ”

Geng Jiangyue smiled very kindly and replied, "If you want to live, just shut up." ”

Commissioner Ivan's face turned pale and he clenched his teeth.

The two of them walked slowly for five or six minutes, and with the smiling face of a welcoming butler, they passed through the outermost doorway of the castle. The outer walls of this ancient castle are densely covered with dragon's blood vines, a plant that also originates from the phantom world. Because they have been cross-domesticated with the plants of the human world, these dragon's blood vines have completely lost their aggressiveness, but their vigorous vitality has been retained, not only can withstand the high temperature of up to 800 degrees Celsius, but also do not shiver in the face of the outdoor cold during the extreme winter.

The only thing that can restrain their growth is werewolf bile.

A little dozen grams, dropped in the soil where the dragon's blood vine is rooted, can all the vines that climb over the entire outer wall of the thousands of square meters of Herruni Fort be poisoned to ashes - that is, the literal kind of ashes, but take these flying ashes, with a little bit of the liver of the Phantom Realm Three-Headed Snake, mix and mash it and then extract the essence, and finally add immunosuppressants in the human world, you can make a very awesome antidote, so that as long as the spiritual power value is high enough, even if you are bitten by a new mutant, you can immediately rescue it.

Therefore, the main function of these dragon's blood vines on the outer wall of Heruni Fort is to show off their wealth.

Geng Jiangyue, who had just finished taking this subject in Beima University, looked at the dragon blood vines on the wall, and his first reaction was shock, if it weren't for walking out of the sea lion city, if it weren't for the fact that he had gone to college, he might never have known that the connection between human society and the phantom world had reached such a close point.

The by-products of brainwave electric technology mentioned by Wang Shenji, to a certain extent, have almost been deeply embedded in the economic system of human society, and some people who want to shut down brainwave electric power stations are afraid that the pressure they have to face is not only from the power group itself, but also materials, metallurgy, chemical industry, pharmaceutical, medical, and so on, Geng Jiangyue thinks about it casually, and feels tired of the relationship here. Perhaps, human life is really completely inseparable from the phantom realm......

Brainwave Technology Group, in fact, really doesn't have to worry so much about being replaced.

Geng Jiangyue thought to himself that if it was for himself, instead of choosing to kill, it would be better to apply these products to a wider range of people, and if he was worried that the poor would not be able to afford it, then find a way to let the poor make more money!

It could have been a good thing for you and me, but what kind of operation is it to kill someone?

With a groan in his heart, Geng Jiangyue and Commissioner Ivan, who was full of difficulties and smirks, finally walked into the assembly hall of the castle after three curfews. The parlor is antique and still looks like it was 800 years ago.

Four long tables made of giant sequoia logs, neatly placed in the center of the hall, the fireplace on the back wall of the hall is burning, the stones on the wall are clearly exposed, it is completely a picture of the first ghost world creatures invasion, human civilization and technology have regressed for thousands of years, if it were not for the electrified crystal lamp hanging from the ceiling, instead of the candle placed in the middle of the dining table, this room, really almost no modern civilization looks.

Directly in front of the room is a high platform where only the main family can sit.

Obviously, this banquet room was used by the Heruni family to reward their retainers or celebrate their achievements 800 years ago.

When Geng Jiangyue and Committee member Ivan walked in, there was no one on the high platform.

There weren't too many people sitting at the other four large tables.

All combined, there are no more than 100 people at most.

Compared to this room, which can seat at least seven or eight hundred people, it seems a little deserted.

Or are the times different......

Eight hundred years ago, the big lords were almost flat under their rule, and they had to mix up all trivial things, celebrations and other activities, and they couldn't wait to call all the people in the territory. However, after the second invasion of phantom creatures, the development speed of human society has increased rapidly, and the social structure has also changed. In terms of governance, the key is to put the key people in key positions, and looking at the entire Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance, it is estimated that there are only about 100 people who are important to the Heruni family.

Ivan is already very, very low in the rankings.

Geng Jiangyue, as a bodyguard, was originally not allowed to enter this room, but when he entered the door, Geng Jiangyue used illusion on the people guarding the door, and he passed easily. Ivan took Geng Jiangyue and sat down at the back of the first table in the banquet hall, and as soon as his butt sat down, Ivan couldn't help but ask Geng Jiangyue: "What do you want to do?"

Geng Jiangyue looked down at the dishes on the table, grabbed a fragrant loaf of bread in his hand, and said, "I just want to meet Mr. Heloney and tell him something in person." ”

Ivan gritted his teeth and said, "Then you can't go through the regular channels?"

Geng Jiangyue stuffed the bread into his mouth, chewed it seven or eight times, swallowed it whole, and asked unhurriedly: "If I say it, do you think I will have a chance to see him in my life?" Lao Tzu doesn't know his itinerary, nor does he know his address in Beima City, what if he directly finds a stand-in to avoid me, and will work remotely from now on?"

Ivan couldn't help but say: "Then how do you know that it won't be a stand-in who came today?"

"It doesn't matter. Geng Jiangyue said lightly, "What I want is not his life, what I want...... It's him. ”

Ivan's expression immediately became strange.

Heruni is over 70 years old, and he is not good-looking, and he is very fat......

This young man, isn't his taste a little perverted?

Geng Jiangyue turned a blind eye to Commissioner Ivan's face, and just waited patiently for the main lord to appear.

After half an hour, Geng Jiangyue, who had actually never eaten anything good at all, almost ate the contents of the basket in front of him with a bite of a small loaf of bread, and when the waiter standing not far behind the two people was about to add another basket to him, there was a sudden commotion outside the door of the banquet hall. Hearing the movement, Geng Jiangyue's hand stretched out to the last loaf of bread in the basket paused slightly, turned his head to look, and saw Heruni walking in amid a large group of people.

Everyone in the room stood up in unison. Ivan stood up straight, fists clenched, gritting his teeth, controlling the urge to let Heruni run, his whole face flushed with only nervousness.

Geng Jiangyue got up unhurriedly, patted Ivan on the shoulder, and said softly: "Take it easy, if he dies, you can rise one place in the ranking of the joint conference, it's a good thing." ”

Ivan's expression changed visibly.

At the other end, Heruni shook his shoulder, and the big hanging on his body slid down, and someone immediately caught him behind him.

"Sit down, sit down, ladies and gentlemen!"

Heruni said casually, glanced over the faces of those sitting in the front rows of the hall, smiled and stepped up the wooden steps, clattered, and walked up the high platform of the banquet hall. A man and a woman followed him and walked up with him. As soon as Heroney was seated, the door to the banquet hall was shut, leaving only a small passage at the back of the hall for food delivery.

Sitting on the high platform, Heruni was in high spirits, and Geng Jiangyue was really relieved in the past ten days since he left Bema City. After eating well during the day and sleeping soundly at night, even his thoughts became clear, and today he just signed an agreement with the Heber United Nations to rebuild Dynamo Del Schilli, and he was not taken advantage of by the Rommel family, which can be regarded as a return of blood in disguise.

Speaking of which, from last year to now, the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance has indeed suffered heavy losses.

First of all, since the beginning of the year, there have been large-scale outbreaks of infection mutations across the country, and until now, although herd immunity has been formed, there are still some small problems in some places from time to time. According to incomplete statistics, the population loss has approached 800 million. Even if all the dead are untouchables with very low spiritual power value, after all, the number is here, and it still has a great impact on the energy supply of the Central South Federation. However, fortunately, people died, and the corresponding demand for food and low-end living materials plummeted, and in a sense, the pressure on the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance to maintain the domestic fundamentals has actually become lighter.

So about the dead man, in terms of the specific results, it can be regarded as good and bad.

What really bothers Heruni is that epidemic prevention materials have always been in a state of shortage.

Due to the long history of intermarriage between the upper echelons of the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance, the spiritual power value of people in the upper class is generally not as high as in the past, and children with an initial awakening value of 70-80 points before are commonplace, more than 100 points are OK, and more than 150 points will be regarded as elite key training. The higher ones are basically in the succession sequence.

If it was in the past, the spiritual power of the children of each family was lower, and it would not be a big problem, after all, there was no need for them to do it themselves a long time ago when they went into battle to kill the enemy. But this time, in time for the mutation crisis of airborne infection, it is difficult for the upper echelons of the Central and Southern Federation not to panic about this matter. Especially when the bottom group forms herd immunity, this sense of panic becomes more and more intense.

Just imagine, if all their children were infected, and the untouchables at the bottom survived, wouldn't my country have to be handed over to the untouchables?

After the upper echelons of the Central and Southern Federation unified and formed this logic, Heruni has been miserable in the past six months.

On the one hand, it is the upper-level interest groups that demand that the government departments immediately develop blockers and antidotes, but they really can't do it, and it is okay to get a good grasp of the supply channels; on the other hand, because too many people have died at the bottom of the Alliance of the Central South Subcontinent, and at the same time, I don't know which Dog Day organization is spreading rumors everywhere, saying that the government of the Central South Subcontinent has given most of its resources to the powerful and let the common people die, causing demonstrations to be held everywhere in the country, and then the more marchers are conducted, the more people will die, and the more powerful the rumors will be, and the vicious circle will not be able to hold back the epidemic......

Heroney was furious, how could those bastards spread such rumors?

We can't even guarantee the resources for the powerful, so why are we allowed the civilians to die?

Didn't even the powerful die a good death this time?

However, these problems have finally been gradually solved.

Especially this morning, the troops of the Central South Military Association were stationed in Sea Lion City, and soon after, the troops of Donghua Kingdom will also arrive with supplies, before being forced by many pressures including ideological confrontation, the Central South Subcontinent Alliance has not purchased epidemic prevention materials from Donghua State, but with the intermediate platform of Sea Lion City, some transactions can be secretly poked and rolled.

On the side of Starfish City, the factory has already been built, and when the time comes, remove the product labels of Donghua Kingdom and paste them on your own side, and everything will be fine. As for the problem of the mysterious creatures in the Sea Lion City, Donghua Kingdom has already sent Wang Shenji over, so there should be no need to be upset. I have been busy all year, and this is almost the end of the year, and suddenly the good news is one after another.

Heroney is simply worried, if he is so lucky, will there be some accidents......

With a smiling face, he looked at the people present with a radiant and condescending face. Sweeping from the front row to the back row, from the innermost fourth table to the outermost first table, and then for a moment, the smile froze on his face.

Geng Jiangyue raised his hand and waved at him.

"Hi~"
