Chapter 209: The Compromise of Amber Harbor
A dark cloud of smoke and dust formed a demon was raging in the sea of consciousness of Ades, and just as it roared and wanted to rush close to the soul of Ades and tear Ades apart, the main consciousness of Ades also returned to the sea of consciousness.
As soon as his spiritual power condensed, the demon formed by the smoke and dust immediately seemed to have fallen into a swamp, and its movements became slow.
Ades saw that his idea was right, and in the sea of consciousness, that negative energy could not have any effect on him at all, so he mobilized a trace of source power that he could command, and reached out and pressed it against the demon formed by the smoke and dust.
In an instant, the negative energy seemed to be ignited, from a dark jet black, to a golden yellow, then contracted into a point of light, and then suddenly exploded, turning into countless small golden points of light, filling the sea of consciousness of Ades.
Adès felt as if someone had suddenly knocked him in his head, and his eyes went black......
I don't know how long it took, but when he slowly regained consciousness, he felt as if his head was soaked in a cool liquid, and his brain seemed to be completely relaxed after a few days of precise calculation and exertion.
This is the intelligence-boosting potion configured by the blood of demons?
Ades recalled the alchemy formula he had learned a little, and found that his memory was very clear, and all kinds of corresponding knowledge unconsciously came to mind, he tried to practice the description again, and found that the speed of completion was much faster than before, and there was no obscurity in the past.
The effect of the potion is really powerful, and Adès is not very intelligent in the first place, at best, it is about the same as Ward, and he has the potential to become a magician. But at most, it is only a five-level qualification.
And now, although he didn't go to the test. But with this speed of thinking, become an intermediate magician. It shouldn't be that hard, right?
He turned his head to look out the window, it was getting dark, and the time he lost consciousness just now should be very short, he threw his main consciousness into his soul, and completely exercised the consciousness body description method, and then meditated according to the deep consciousness meditation method he learned from the magic academy.
The next day, when he got up, he finished washing. found Yun Ni and secretly told her that the places that need to be paid attention to when drinking the potion, and how to use the oath rune to suppress the negative energy, all of which were completely unconcealed and told Yun Ni to know.
Before, Yunnie and the others knew that there was a secret in Adès, especially as everyone's level increased, they could feel that the oath rune in their body was exuding power all the time, and their body could absorb these powers.
Although I don't know what the power is. But as time increases, his body gets better and better, which everyone can feel, and in addition to the effect of level increase, this rune also plays a big role in it.
So Adès just had to give Winnie a little bit of a reminder. Winnie knew it was time to do so after drinking the potion.
She whispered to Adès: "I'll prepare it when I go back at noon, it seems that the potion will work quickly, and it is estimated that it will be time for dinner." I was able to digest it completely. ”
Ades reminded her, "Remember to exercise and meditate when digesting potions. Consolidate the effects of good potions. ”
Winnie nodded, and took Adès's arm and walked into Anna's study. They have been in the real room for so many days, and the things in the territory are all done by Molly and Anna, and now that they are out, they will definitely have to share some things.
"Hey, your potions are completely ready?" Anna asked curiously, seeing that the two of them were coming together.
Ades nodded with a smile and said, "It's done, and there are a lot of them, have you selected the warriors who are loyal to the Viscount's Mansion?"
"Basically, I have selected some of them, and I have specially inquired about them, and they are all willing to exchange their potential for strength, especially some elderly veterans, who are particularly enthusiastic. ”
"You arrange this yourself, after all, these people will be the backbone of your army in the future, the first choice is loyalty, and the second choice is wisdom. Ades spoke again in detail.
Although it has been locked many times and is very verbose, Anna knows that it is the kindness of Ades, and Ades never interferes in the selection of people, which is completely for Anna to establish her own power and prestige.
Even Molly rarely intervenes, she just said to Anna that if she chooses well, then she will also build a relatively small point guard, after all, she is now not only the eldest lady of the Anslow family, but also the Baroness of Borden, and she also needs her own military strength.
"Mr. Nat and his disciples patrolled the forests around the territory, and there were no special accidents, but he found many refugees who had fled to the forest, which had escaped during the outbreak of the plague before. "Anna told Adès about the recent territory, so that he could get a general idea.
Ades raised his eyebrows, this kind of fugitives, according to the previous aristocratic management model, are to be directly regarded as fugitive slaves, even if they were free people before, once they find out that they have escaped, they will automatically be regarded as slaves, he asked Anna, "What do you want to do?"
Anna hesitated for a moment and said: "I can only be a slave, or if I don't do this, those lords will run away if they feel bad in the future, and if they are captured and punished, then the territory will not be left alone." ”
Although Ades felt a little inhumane, but there was no way, after all, from Anna's point of view, she was right to do so, he thought about it for a while, and said to Anna: "If you drag your family with you, try to let them redeem themselves, if you don't have money, then use the working years as a condition for redemption, so that they can see hope, and it will be much easier to manage." ”
Anna nodded and said, "I think so too, many jobs don't use conscription anymore, especially some large-scale projects, such as the construction of the road to your territory, are all hired. ”
Ades smiled and said to Anna: "Now we are not short of money, so try not to exploit the people, but you should not be too generous, you should use it, and you would rather use it back after using it up, otherwise after a long time, they will take it for granted, which is not conducive to management." ”
Anna hurriedly took a pen and wrote down the words of Adès, this statement is very true, people are always like this, if they are accustomed to it, they will not feel that this is the lord's leniency, but they will enjoy it as a matter of course.
Unlike the orderly Nawabira County, the port of Ambo was now in turmoil, and some merchants, seeing that the route to the west was blocked, simply turned to the mouth of the river, dumped the goods transferred from the East to the town, and then bought some unique goods from the town, including leather armor from the Evice Leather Smith's Shop and some potions from Nancy's Magic Material Shop, and then returned to the East again.
This is a big blow to Ambo, if the news spreads, then the future of Ambo, a transit port, is very dark, and merchants may not run this route anymore, preferring to sell goods by land, from the north, or even from the desert to the west.
But this was very good news for the two towns along the estuary, the market was flooded with porcelain and spices, and after the owner of the Evice leather armor shop consulted with Nancy, the two families began to eat the goods in large quantities, and even Cardinal came in.
The two priests of Kemble and O'Gawain are troubled, and if they don't take action, Port Amber will really be abolished, such a loss, the Temple of the Queen of the Sea can't afford it, and the Temple of the Lord of the Storm can't afford it, especially O'Gawain, if the temple here decays, then the priests of his line will have no place to live at all.
Under such a consensus, the two began to discuss how to unite their forces, and the power of the nobles and the forest lady must be co-opted, otherwise they will send troops themselves, and their hometown will be stabbed in the back, and it will really be over.
In order to keep the port and shipping routes, they can pay any price, the Lord of the Storm and the Goddess of the Forest are hostile Everyone knows that hostility does not mean that there must be a war, everyone divides the sphere of influence, you don't come to fight me, I won't harass you, this is the bottom line of Ogavin and Kemble, as for how to divide this sphere of influence, you can sit down and talk.
As for the nobles, it is even simpler, in the future, the ships of the Anslow family can arrange a priest of the goddess of the sea to sit in the town, so that when going to sea, the wind and water will be smooth and will not encounter storms, so that the danger of navigation will be minimized, without these, the transportation cost will inevitably be reduced, which is also conducive to the nobles to make profits.
Of course, this is what Kemble and Ugavin think, and if Cardinal and the Anslow family have any requests, it can be discussed, as long as they are willing to sit down.
When Ades heard Anna tell him about this, he scratched his hair and asked in disbelief, "Lord of the Storm?" ”
After Nath inspected the forest, he did not immediately go back to the Holy Residence, but stayed in Navabira County, he may be Hunt's deputy, and set up a stronghold here, listening to the information Anna said, he touched his chin and said: "According to the decision of the gods, they did nothing wrong, originally treated the demons, but the gods said back then, everyone can put aside hatred and controversy, and fight the demons back first, and then the gods will open it again." ”
Adès thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Nat, you tell Mr. Cardinal about this first, and see what Mr. Cadinal thinks, and we will listen to him." ”
Nat looked at Anna, and Anna hurriedly said: "Ades' opinion is the opinion of the Anslow family, and Ades can make a decision directly on this matter." ”
Nat is a little unsure of their relationship, it stands to reason that Ades is a vassal of the Viscount, why does the Viscountess have to listen to Adès? (To be continued......)
