Chapter 17: Confusion (2)
All the sailors on board were poisoned. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Sandru wore a black cloak and looked at the skeleton soldiers who slowly rose from the pool of blood.
This is the power of necromancers! The bloody battlefield full of corpses and horrific people is the field where necromancers harvest their fruits.
How nice it would be if you had the Cloak of the Ghost King, not only would there be a skeleton warrior crawling out of the pile of corpses, but also a terrifying Corpse Witch King!
Many years ago, he had learned that the Ghost King's cloak combo was lost throughout the Savage Lands, and the Spell Armor combo was lost in Eri. He hoped that Vidrina would live up to her mission and make a deal with the forest elf Jenny to gather the Spell Armor first, and then find a way to assemble the Cloak of the Ghost King. By then, the whole world will tremble at his feet.
"My lord, what should you do with this ship?" the subordinate asked.
Sandru stretched out his arms to the sky, and a terrifying incantation sounded on the surface of the sea. The white clouds began to slowly turn into dark clouds, and a powerful tornado hung down from the dark clouds, gradually approaching the surface of the sea, and immediately sucked up a column of water hundreds of meters high, and the water column became higher and higher, almost approaching the dark cloud.
With a wave of his hands, the water column collapsed, and the huge force immediately smashed the luxurious ship into powder!
When the clouds clear and the sea calms, the sea is littered with broken decks, cables, and debris.
"Well, unfortunate people, how did they run aground?" Sandru sighed.
"Yes, these people are pitiful! I guess they must have forgotten to worship the god of the sea when they traveled. The subordinate nodded and said, "My lord, do you need to meet Princess Saiya?"
"No!" Sandru said as he pulled out a small bottle of dark blue potion from his sleeve, "Fill her with a few drops of potion to make her temporarily lose her magical energy, and then put her under house arrest." β
The subordinate took the vial and hurried away.
"Don't feed her too much, I hope she's alive and well!"
Only the living hostages are valuable, and the dead are not only worthless, but may even get into trouble.
I'm afraid it's not time to go see Princess Saiya now. In this way, she will be sure that the sneak attack was her own doing, and there will be no turning back in the future.
If necessary, if necessary, he can play the role of a hero to save the United States, and he will become a great benefactor of Erathia, so that he can even get the aid of King Kendall or form an alliance.
As soon as the fleet arrived at the Isle of Light, Sandru went alone to visit his teacher, Eric.
The Capitol was filled with members of Congress and bankers. Sandru talked eloquently, analyzed the current situation of Dia Continent, the form of friend and foe, and then naturally mentioned that he had a strong alliance with Elares, and with this alliance, recovering Dia was no longer a dream.
"Honorable members of Congress, honorable bankers, as it has been said, Dia will once again be shrouded in the glory of angels! It will be a shining star on the side of the Isle of Light. Any hostile forces that attempt to invade the Isle of Light will be reduced to powder under my powerful army!"
The people in the hall slapped the table in agreement.
"But Wilmar still has a dozen or so cities, and the military is still very strong. At present, the Duke of Elares can only concentrate all his forces to protect the capital and various fortresses, and is stuck in a strategic defense, unable to launch a strong offensive. For this reason, as humble servants of the gods, I beseech you to continue to assist me. β
"This is a very wise investment, not only is there no risk, but it will also reap great returns! If you wise adults can continue to provide generous assistance, I promise to revise the terms of the original contract and increase the financial revenue that Diya handed over to the Holy Light Island from the original three years to five years!"
The people in the hall immediately became a mess.
Sandru was pleased with the results. These so-called servants of the gods, under the temptation of great interests, really forgot the gods they served and valued their own interests more than God.
The chief priest tapped the scepter in his hand on the table and said, "Everyone, be quiet! Sandru, you can avoid it for a while, and we will immediately convene a national assembly to discuss and vote on your proposal." β
Sandru left the Capitol and wandered around the square.
It's been almost two years since he left the Isle of Light to fight Dia. While the portals of the Lost Lands have not yet opened, the world is already showing signs of chaos.
The continent of Dia is ravaged by the underground army of the undead, and has even invaded the border of Erathia; Fiona's demon army has successfully used the volcanic eruption to swarm out of hell, and has captured Eery, and is sweeping away the remnants of the dwarves hiding in the forest, and will soon cooperate with the army of the undead to attack Erathia on both sides; Moriel, the Negan lord of the wizard clan, has used tens of thousands of cave people to dig for more than ten years, and finally opened the cave of the invasion of the elemental land, and the two armies should have had an encounter; now only the northernmost Titan continent and the most remote wild land have not been invaded by the underground armyγ
The elves of the Titan Continent have always been very arrogant, do not eat the fireworks of the world, and stand by and watch the wars on various continents. The main battle faction, Tanan, has always been restless and disciplined, fanning the flames everywhere to carry out a series of actions, planning the joint action of various armies to exterminate all the underground races. Isn't this trapped in the midst of war on the Titan Continent? Tanan was then ostracized and banished from the Elven Kingdom, and forced to self-exile to the Lost Lands.
The enemy of the elves seems to be negligible, and when the other races on the ground are exterminated, the elves will become dangerous eggs under the nest.
Tanan was followed by a restless York. York's mother was an elven and his father was a powerful warrior in the Savages. Unfortunately, his father died young, and his mother, who was widowed at a young age, was left alone with young York to live at the Academy of Magic in Blancada until he became an adult. York's veins are filled with the innate strength of a warrior and the magical talent of the elves, but he does not want to become a mage, and after the death of his depressed mother, he resolutely escapes from the academy of magic, escapes from the mad pursuit of the elves, and finally enters the wilderness, like his father, and becomes a great savage warrior.
It seems that York wants to return to the wilderness, avenge his father, and reclaim everything that belongs to his family. The fragile peace of the Savage Lands will be shattered, and it will be replaced by a flood of war, leaving no time to care about what is happening on other continents.
Despite the grim form, the island of Light still looks like a paradise on the surface. Sandru knew that this was just a calm on the surface, but in fact, there were countless undercurrents surging under the promised land.
Now that his crisis has been resolved, he just needs to enlist the support of the bankers. With this financial assistance, he can first beat Wilmar and force him to surrender his allegiance to him, and then clean up the dying Duke of Elares.
Such a plan is perfect, at least not flawlessly yet. Although the teacher Eric was a little suspicious of his actions, he was very conceited and believed that he would never dare to betray him.
Before he knew it, Sandru had arrived at the door of the tavern in the square. There was a commotion in the tavern, and Sandru walked in.
A tall wild man in the tavern was furious, overturning several tables in quick succession. The tavernkeeper cast a color on the servant, who was about to run out of the door, when he accidentally bumped into Sandru's arms.
Sandru was furious! Although he had not been knighted by the Holy Light Island until now, he was powerful and hot, and now he was hit by this humble servant, so what was it?
When the boss saw Sandru's luxurious clothes and decorations, as well as his extraordinary bearing that was not angry and arrogant, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out of the counter and kept apologizing.
"What are you going to do, do you want to die and be reincarnated sooner?" Sandru said angrily.
"I'm sorry, he saw someone in the tavern mischievous and wanted to go out to report to the guards, but he ran into you, a noble lord. Fortunately, you have a lot of adults, and you will never bother with such a villain. Then he kicked the servant and said, "Why don't you hurry to the kitchen and ask them to prepare a table of good dishes?!"
Sandru didn't even look at the servant, turned to the boss and said, "Who is that savage hero?"
"His name is Kenlo Haag, and he's a hero from the Savages. I heard that he came to Shengguang Island to apply for a bank loan, but for some reason he was not approved, so he went crazy here. β
Kenlo Haag is a member of the Haag family, and I heard that the Haag family is the guardian of the Eastern Wilderness, while the Western Wilderness is the Duke of Berrag, York's uncle, and the usurper of the brother's murder.
Sandru immediately took a keen interest in this man. As soon as he walked up to the noisy Kenlowe, Kenlow glared at him and said, "If you're here to persuade me, you'd better keep your mouth shut!
Sandru smiled and said, "I'm not here to persuade you, I want to talk to you about a deal." β
"Oh?" said Kenloe, looking up and down at Sandru, "Look at your outfit, aren't you a banker?"
"I'm not a banker, but I know what you want, and maybe I can give it to you. Sandru said, "Can you still drink?" Let's sit down and talk!"
The tavern owner ushered them into a secluded private room, and then presented them with a table of exquisite dishes, such as stir-fried Pegasus meat, steamed Harpy legs, wild beef steaks, etc., which made Kenlowe stunned.
Rich people are different!" Kenloe sighed. I had eaten hares and squirrels in the Lost Land for more than ten years, and when I returned to the wilderness, I either roasted beef or roast mutton, and I had a stench of cow and sheep dung on my body.
"Are you from the Haag family?" asked Sandru.
"Yes, my name is Kenlo Haag, and my honorable title is the Guardian of the Eastern Savage Lands, the heir of the Haag family, and the War Chief!"
"I've heard of your father, he was a great warrior. His dream is to rule the entire Savage Land, but unfortunately God is jealous of the talent and dies young!"
"You didn't invite me here to tell me about my father, do you? I know a lot more about him than you do. β
"Hehe, I'm just showing a little admiration for your father. Your father is so heroic, you shouldn't be far behind, right?"
"Of course, I will carry on his legacy and conquer all the Savage Lands, who knows that the bankers will not lend me money!"
"They are just businessmen, who only covet short-term profits, where can they have a long-term strategic vision? I think you are a great hero, and I believe that you will be able to conquer the whole wild land and become a great ruler. I'd love to fund you!"
Kenloe happily grabbed Sandru's arm and said, "Really, if you give me a million gold coins to support me, I will give you all the taxes of the Savage Land for a year." β
Use the money in the future to repay the loan, this trick futures strategy Sandru has long used. A savage is a savage, simple-minded and well-limbed! If you promise to repay the loan with two or three years of taxes, the bankers will already step on your threshold.
"I don't need your taxes, I like you and want to make you a friend!"
"You mean, you're willing to pay for it?" Kenloe clung to Sandru like a life-saving straw: "To tell you the truth, I left the Lost Land and returned to the Wild Lands on a boat for nearly four months to get here! If it weren't for you, I would have taken the plunge and robbed the bank on the Isle of Light! I don't want to come empty-handed and go back empty-handed." β
"But I'm also very short of money right now, and to be honest, I'm also here to take out a loan from Holy Light Island. If my loan is successful, I don't mind giving you a million!"
"The rest of the people on the island of Holy Light are arrogant bastards, but you are the only one who is good!" Kenloe said movingly, "I am willing to be your friend, you say, what do you want me to do?"
"Actually, I don't want anything, have you heard of the Ghost King's cloak?"
"You know, it seems to have been made with three treasures: the Death Amulet, the Vampire Cloak, and the Boots of the Death. β
"My father was once a great treasure maker, and all three of these treasures were made by him, and he is now living in the wilderness. Before he died, he asked me to find these three treasures and burn them at his grave. I have to fulfill his wish. β
Kenloe really couldn't figure it out, these three treasures were so rubbish, and except for the necromancer who could use them, the other heroes wouldn't even look at them, and no one wanted to throw them on the ground.
As long as there is their whereabouts, then everything is easy to do, Kenloe is not a good type, and he never plays cards according to the conventional routine. He has a lot of methods, he can buy it, he can steal it, and he can even rob it with an army!
Kenloe patted his chest and promised: "I thought you wanted the stars and moon in the sky, don't worry, I will find these three treasures for you." β
"I'll give you 500,000 gold coins first, and when you find the treasure and give it to me, I'll give you the rest of it. β
The two high-fived and toasted in celebration.
