Night, Rose Manor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After taking a hot bath, Mu En sat down on a chair by the window in a white silk robe.

On a summer night, the wind poured into the room through the window with a hint of coolness, blowing away a little bit of heat.

With a twist of the wrist, Yin Hong's blood-like red wine swayed slightly in the goblet, bringing ripples in circles.

Mu En's eyes were fixed on the distant pitch-black sky, and his ears were attentively listening to Steward Abdul-Jabbar's introduction to the major forces in the territory.

"Under the Rosarius Lord, there are three main auxiliary ministers under Grand Duke Igor, His Majesty Eliad, the Minister of War in charge of military affairs, Viscount Elive-Arthur, Minister of Finance in charge of property and taxes, and Marquis of Fitch-Gustav, Minister of Justice, in charge of the internal management and administration of the realm. ”

As he spoke, Jabbar raised his hand and handed a photograph scroll made of parchment to Muen, and continued, "This one is the Minister of War, Eliad, a wood elf and a close friend of Lord Harvey.

Tracing the catastrophe at the end of the Augustan dynasty, the Rose Lords accepted the allegiance of a group of Wood Elves who had escaped from the Darkmoon Mountains, and who thrived in Ilmasu, and indeed in the entire Rose Realm, but had to offer their allegiance to the Igors.

Because of the suppression strategy implemented by the Saint Lance Empire for foreign races after the establishment of the Saint Lance Empire, the wood elves did not receive the canonization of the Igor family, but if we talk about the loyalty of the Igor family, except for our penguin family, they belong to these wood elves.

In today's territory, most of the long-range shooters in the five major legions are elves or half-elves.

According to the requirements, the Wood Elf Presbyterian Council will select a qualified person as a personal retinue of the Igor family when the descendants of the Igor family are born, and follow him.

Eliad was the follower of Grand Duke Harvey, and they grew up together, traveled together, fought together, and supported the Rose Collar together.

Although he does not have a title, he is the supreme leader of the entire Rose Territory army, that is, because of his existence, some people are taboo, and the entire territory is not chaotic.

By the way, he is also a third-order transcendent peak elf archer, holding the artifact of the wood elf Falling Moon, the entire rose collar, in terms of combat power, he can be ranked in the top five. ”

Mu En withdrew his gaze and focused on the photo wall, only to find that this was definitely an elf that could not be forgotten at a glance.

His emerald green hair and pointed ears seemed to reflect his race, but his temperament did not have the handsome elegance of an elf, but the iron blood and domineering of a general. His face was crisscrossed with scars, and he looked horrible, and his eyes were cold and frosty.

"With his extraordinary strength, what's the matter with the scar on his face?" Mu En asked strangely:

The effect of blood recovery is extremely strong, not to mention that the other party is still extraordinary, so he doesn't understand how the scar on the other party's face came from?

"When Ilyada was young, he was once a famous beautiful man with a rose collar, and he once attracted the crazy pursuit of aristocratic maidens. However, at the ceremony of his inauguration as Minister of War, he attended with scars on his face and drenched in blood.

At that time, Grand Duke Harvey was furious and asked what was going on?

Unexpectedly, His Majesty Ilyada said that it was cut by himself, and as for the reason, he only used one sentence to explain.

A handsome face can only attract the ridicule of enemies, and a hideous face can make enemies fearful. ”

Mu En's eyes widened slightly, and he glanced at Abdul-Jabbar, only to realize that Mrs. Merry was able to maintain the stability of the territory when the descendants of the Igor family were dead, and it must be this one behind her.

"So, he must be very confused about my identity, right?"

"It's inevitable, His Majesty Eliad is too familiar with Grand Duke Harvey, but I think he will understand Madame Merry's distress, and how to convince him is your business, young master. ”

"This is also a test, isn't it?" Mu En smiled:

Abdul-Jabbar said nothing more, as a butler, he had undergone the most rigorous training in etiquette, and his every move would be most in line with the manners of the nobles, and he would best understand his duties and loyalty.

However, he took another picture and handed it to him, and after Mu En took it, he saw a short and fat man painted on it, with a somewhat dry skin, with the most professional smile, and his most special thing was that the eyes, a thin one narrowed into a slit, as if everything was hidden in it.

Mu En smiled and said, "Let me guess, this is Viscount Eliv-Arthur, my Chancellor of the Exchequer?"

"That's right, young master, have you seen him?"

"When I've been out there these days, I've seen him, it seems, he's a loyal believer in Wokin, the god of wealth?"

Jabbar was slightly silent before he said: "The Arthur family is one of the few big merchants in Ilmasu City, and it is said that they have some goblin blood, so they don't look tall, and their temper is a little weird.

Eliv Aso was only a side of the family, but he was extremely gifted in business and money, and it was Lord Harvey who made him the head of the Arthur family and inherited the title of viscount.

And he also officially became the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Rose Collar, and with him, the Rose Collar's wars over the years were basically not shorter than the silver money.

It's just that his pursuit of wealth seems to be a bit ......"

Speaking of this, as soon as Abdul-Jabbar's words stopped, Mu En already understood, and he said, "Understood, what about the next one?"

"The Marquis of Fitch-Gustav, the Matriarch of the Gustav family, is also a senator who has been active in the Rose Collar since before Archduke Harvey took office. ”

This is an old man with gray hair and crumbling eyes, with dry flesh and dry flesh and pale skin, but the divine light in his eyes seems to be extremely energetic.

"This one isn't young, is he?"

"Over one hundred and fifty years old, although the Marquis of Gustav is only a first-order professional, it is said that he has drunk some rare treasure from the elven clan all year round - elven spring water, and now he has lived beyond the limit of the life span of a first-order professional.

Moreover, his physical condition seems to be good, he likes women, and he has a collection of beauties of all ethnic groups in the house. ”

"Is that him?

"Young master, please be cautious, the entire rose collar, with Marquis Gustav as the longest, has a very high reputation. ”

"Alright!" Mu En shrugged his shoulders and asked again, "Anything else?"

"Ilmassu City is the core of the Rose Collar, but the Rose Collar is not only Ilmassu City, with Irmasu City as the center, within a radius of thousands of miles, it is also the territory of the Rose Collar.

Three hundred years ago, after the establishment of the Saint-Lance Empire, the Igor family also divided many nobles, the most important of which were seven marquises.

It's just that after three hundred years of inheritance, there have been declines and extinctions, and now there are only four marquises, and the Gustav family is one of them, in addition to the Bach family, the Baldwin family and the Bartlett family.

Because of the chaos of the past two years, the territories outside the city of Ilmasu have fallen, so now the four major marquis families are gathered in the city, they all have their own assets, and they are all trying to recover their territories. ”

Among them, the Bach family was completely destroyed, and now there is only one woman left in the city, Michel Bach, who inherited the property of the Bach family, and the tie outside, and she is as beautiful as a flower, and is very sought after by a group of aristocratic teenagers. ”

"The Baldwin family is mostly in the military, and they control the ......"

"The Bartlett Family ......"

"By the way, there is also the Monroe family, the family formed by Lady Merry's own brother Milou Monroe, who was awarded the title of Earl Emeritus, and the Earl of Milou married the daughter of the Marquis of Feich, and they had a son named Nat Monroe. Please ask the young master to think about this. ”

"And then there's the Ivory Wizard's Tower, and the tower owner is ......"

"The main temples built in the city are the temple of the god of wealth and the god of dwarves, Moradin......"

"Guilds mainly have ......"

As the soon-to-be-inherited lord of the Rose Realm, Muen must have a clear understanding of the various forces in the entire realm, and Jabbar is now instilling these in him little by little.

If Mu En heard these things for the first time, he would inevitably be dizzy, and the names of the messy people would not match, but in the ten days of travel, he had seen and heard a lot, and even many people had encountered it unconsciously.

It is consistent with what Butler Abdul-Jabbar said now, and there is some intuitive understanding.

After three hourglass hours, when Abdul-Jabbar's voice was a little dry, he finished the basics.

"Drink a little, moisten your throat!" Mu En took a wine glass, poured some red wine, and handed it over.

The housekeeper took it, but put it aside very seriously, and then handed over all the information in his hand, and said: "As a housekeeper of a three-thousand-year-old family, I must maintain a reasonable demeanor, and eating and drinking in front of the master is absolutely not allowed."

Young Master, I have put all this information here, and you must keep it all in mind tonight.

For aristocrats, if you can't call each other's names and don't know their origins, it is extremely disrespectful to each other and their families. ”

Mu En was stunned: "Only tonight?"

"Yes, there will be a tailor to measure your body tomorrow morning, and although the time is a little rushed, I will make sure that I will make you a decent outfit in the evening.

Then you must be trained by me in etiquette, for a nobleman, elegant and calm etiquette is the best manifestation of a person's upbringing, your manners, actions, steps, posture must be adjusted.

Theoretically, you must also be able to recognize everyone's family crests, have a proper language of conversation, and be aware of music, paintings, and local customs.

As a family that has been inherited for 3,000 years, we have enough rich heritage and must also show enough grace. ”

Abdul-Jabbar's tone was indescribably proud, as if this was the proudest thing in the world. Mu En, on the other hand, was silent for a moment and said, "In other words, the children and grandchildren of the Igor family in the past need to learn these?"

"Of course, I am honored to be the etiquette and heraldic instructor of the six young masters. ”

"I feel a little sympathy for them now. ”

"Young Master, what did you say?"

"Uh, nothing, you heard it wrong, haha, it's really nothing. ”

"Young Master, I strongly request that you make up these lessons after the banquet, for nobles, especially the Igor family, which has a three-thousand-year heritage, elegance must be deep in the bones. Abdul-Jabbar stubbornly said:

"Well, ha, I'll talk about it then. ”

"Young Master?"

"What, by the way, how are the preparations for tomorrow's banquet?"

"Please rest assured, what I am best at is banquet preparation and scheduling, and I will definitely not lose the face of the Igor family. ”

"I'm sure then, then, Steward Abdul-Jabbar, go back to sleep first, tomorrow will be very busy. ”

Mu Enhao said that he drove Jabbar out, and when he looked back at the thick information, Jabbar's verbal sentence sounded in his mind: The family with a three-thousand-year-old inheritance is no longer interested.

Mu En sat back in his chair again, took a sip of the glass of red wine, and looked up at the window.

It was already midnight, and the whole city was in a deep sleep, darkness enveloped everything, and the breeze was blowing, and it seemed that there were clumps of darkness intertwined, as if it contained a great danger, enough to consume everyone.

In Mu En's view, these twists and turns of the nobles are actually whitewashing how different, noble, and natural rulers they are, but in the final analysis, they are still strength.

It is strong enough strength to guarantee their nobility and rule, and that's it.

The water in the Rose Territory is muddy enough, and those intertwined forces and various interests are entangled, and it is not something he will be able to figure out for a while.

However, he didn't come here to play by the other party's rules, and he didn't need to care too much about their rules.

What he has to do now is to draw out the contradictions one by one, and then use his own strength to smash them.

At the end of the day, it's all about power.

Mu En put his right hand in front of his eyes, took a breath, and his arm suddenly swelled from the joint, his skeleton swelled, his muscles were exposed, his muscles were knotted, and his skin was a scale-like blue-black.

- Eight-armed Titan battle body, partially deformed.

Then, the non-humanoid arm began to shake, first slowly, then faster and faster, until it turned into a shadow, and the air around it was snapped by the fingers, and circles of power rippled in all directions.

There was no fluctuation of the elements, no extension of power, just the squandering of the flesh, but in his eyes, every extension and swing of that finger was so clear.

It was only after studying with the throne for a long time that he understood the realm of legends, and he understood: maybe elemental cultivation is the path, but his strongest means now is definitely not the power of the elements, but the ...... Sanctuary.

Advanced legendary professionals have two common abilities, one is the real clone, His Majesty the Throne is already beyond the limit of the plane can accommodate the lifeform, and every move of their real body in the plane will cause damage to the plane.

Therefore, the throne can be divided into one or three doppelgangers and carry its own strength to walk within the plane.

In this case, the throne is not much stronger than the transcendent peak with pure strength, but they are still the unrivaled throne, and they rely on the second point - the Sanctuary.

His Majesty the Throne has transcended ordinary life, and their vision and perspective have never been limited to one plane.

So, in their eyes, the world is different.

In terms of space, space is no longer a complete whole in their eyes, but has many small holes and gaps.

Therefore, for the throne, whether they are familiar with the power of space or not, at their level, it is already normal to tear through space and teleport over short distances.

In terms of time, the moment that ordinary people can feel is not the smallest unit of time they can perceive, and a moment is divided into eighteen parts, and one-eighteen parts is the smallest perceptual unit.

In other words, as long as it is an existence below the rank of His Majesty the Throne, even the most powerful transcendent, in their eyes, it is a slow movement of one-eighteenth. No matter how terrifying the power is, as long as they are willing, they can quickly escape through the gap in space.

Perhaps, there is really some kind of Creator-like existence in this darkness that balances the rules of the endless world, although each has its own characteristics and rules, but within a framework, it conforms to some supreme rule.

Mu En clearly remembered that on the Azure Planet, immortal-level powerhouses also had this ability, and they called it Dao Realm.

Mu En also understood that when he opened it with the fifth ability of the Temporal and Space Perception Awakening, 'Thinking Acceleration', with the full strength of the eight-armed Titan Battle Body, that state was so similar to this Sanctuary or Dao Realm!

This is his 'pseudo-sanctuary'.

This is his greatest reliance.
