"Hoo ..............."

You Lian put down his hand and Chinese it, rubbing his brow, and a feeling of exhaustion came spontaneously.

Although after accepting this ** and absorbing his memory, You Lian also understood that things were very troublesome, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult.

In front of Yuren was a detailed report from Twilighttown, and the results of this report gave Yuren a bit of a headache.

And the reason for this is that this fief - Although the big nobles did give Felix the young man a real and effective document, but you must know that they are not fools, in case the other party knows to send him to death, and then runs there to deliberately make a mess of everything, then he can face the loess with his back to the sky, and leave this world in a very chic manner, but in the future, the reconstruction and stability work here will still be handed over to those big nobles to have a headache, and those nobles will naturally not fail to take this into account, so what they gave Felix is a piece"Noble fiefdom".

On this continent, there are two forms of fiefdoms, one is the "royal fiefdom", which is a fief that is directly ordered by the royal family and granted to other people's territories. Of course, those who are honored to receive such fiefs are those who have made outstanding contributions to the royal family, or who are related to the royal family by blood. Most of these people have acquired enough territory to maintain their status and reputation, and they have relatively ample resources. The other is the "noble fief", which is used by the lords who have obtained the "royal fief" to reward their subordinates, unlike the "royal fief", the "noble fief" does not have a general sphere of influence, and in fact, this kind of noble fief is also difficult to develop, because those nobles will only give jurisdiction to a specified part of the towns and fortresses. It's like the fief that Yulian now owns, although the great nobles have handed over the entire Twilight Mountains to him, but he can only collect taxes from Twilight Town, as for the villages and towns on the periphery of the Twilight Mountains, although they are also within the sphere of influence, Yulian has no jurisdiction over them.

As an isolated town, Twilight Town has no production capacity of its own, they have lived here for generations, except for relying on the cultivated farmland, they are fighting wild beasts in the forest, and there is no special way to make money, and the monthly tax of this town can only pay more than a hundred gold coins.

More than a hundred gold coins are not small for ordinary people, but for nobles, it is not enough to even plug their teeth. Obviously, the document states that Yuren only has the authority to manage and collect taxes from Twilight, and that it is precisely to limit his development, although to the nobles, a dying person has nothing to worry about, and they do not want to see a fight back before they die. Anyway, there are few people in the twilight town, the total population is only a hundred, and there is no economic power, even if you want to rebel, you don't have the ability, just toss it.

The only good thing is that for the sake of the dying people, those big nobles finally didn't bother with Felix anymore, and they were very "generous" to reduce his taxes for a year, that is to say, within this year, Twilight Castle no longer needs to pay taxes to those big nobles, which is the only good news for Yulian, otherwise, Twilight Town only has a hundred gold coins in taxes every month, and half of it has to be given to those nobles, so even if You Lian has the ability to reach the sky, it is estimated that he can only shake his hands and run as far as he can.

Twilight Castle is not a small castle, but in Julien's time, it was located on the border of the kingdom, with the Twilight Mountains in its backdrop, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Twilight Mountains are steep and complex, and the only gentle place is here. It merges with the town of Twilight below, supporting each other. Under the protection of the castle, Twilight Town will not be attacked by enemies, and with the support of Twilight Town, the castle will not have problems due to lack of supplies, and coupled with the clear spring water flowing from above, it can be said that this is an almost undefeated fortress.

In Yuren's time, this place was attacked by the coalition army for half a year, although the number of enemies was far superior to the garrison in the castle, but in the end the coalition army still returned in vain, and after paying the price of nearly 10,000 corpses, they had no choice but to retreat. Legend has it that it is because of these tens of thousands of corpses that this forest has become so lush.

However, now, this place has lost the military value it once had, relying on this fortress, the territorial boundaries of the kingdom have expanded by a third, and because of this, the original military fortress has been useless, and the status of Twilight Castle has determined that it is impossible to transform into a commercial or transportation town, therefore, this once incomparably glorious fortress has completely ended, and Twilight Town has also lost its former glory, and has become a place that has almost no meaning of existence.

They are like warriors, and when they are no longer needed in war, their meaning of existence disappears.

Shaking his head, leaving these boring feelings behind, Yuren refocused his attention on the information in front of him, there was a lot to do. The task of cleaning and cleaning up the castle could be left to the spirits, but not the management of the castle, and Yuren didn't intend to die alone here, he had a plan of his own, and for that plan, he needed a lot of things.

Yulian is no stranger to such a situation, in his own world, he also once started from scratch and eventually achieved a career. If it weren't for the tricks of fate, he wouldn't have left his world and came to this magical and strange capital, and then, Yu Lian still followed his own ** and successfully became one of the most powerful existences in the world, not to mention, as early as at that time, Yu Lian had already taken into account the various situations that were likely to occur in the future, and made corresponding preparations.

But now it looks like the situation is worse than starting from scratch.

No matter how strong You Lian is, he only has two hands and ten fingers, and it is impossible to do everything, so he must find someone who is suitable to assist him in his work and has talents. It's just that for now, it's obviously a luxury.

"In any case, I can only rely on myself at the moment. ”

Sighing helplessly, You Lian closed the document in front of him, and then, a cold wind blew, and the document placed in front of You Lian was lightly rolled up by the wind, hovering and fluttering in the air, and landed on the bookshelf next to him. Although this castle has been uninhabited for nearly thirty years, because the previous occupants were afraid of bringing the "demon's curse" to themselves before leaving, they did not remove the furniture placed here, so Yulian did not need to bother in this regard, and because of the fact that there are geists living in it, ordinary insects do not dare to approach this castle, so these furniture are not particularly damaged. At least for now, it's still in a usable state.

There was a faint sound of laughter in the cold air, echoing in the huge dark castle, which would have made people feel frightened and uneasy, but for Yulian, it was just a small game for those geists, so he didn't stop the other party too much. Originally, Yulian planned to go to bed and make a new plan, but the whisper in his soul made him stop.

You Lian clearly felt that the originally soothing soul wind suddenly became fierce and confused, and he listened intently to the report of the spirits, and then raised his eyebrows.

"Is there such a thing?"

Yulian said to himself, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The light and warmth emitted by the burning torch dispelled the darkness and cold in the tunnel, and Yuren held the torch in his hand and walked down the frosty steps step by step, his expression was serious, and his right hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, even if he did not feel as a knight of the end, Yuren could easily feel the danger contained in this darkness.

There are resentful spirits here.

In fact, the geists should have continued to clean the castle for their owner as they did last night, and kept it clean and hygienic. But upon arriving here, the geists were surprised to find that they were unable to do their jobs. Because there is an aura that is stronger and colder than they are, and it is dominating this place. In desperation, the spirits had no choice but to report to their masters and hand them over to Yulian to deal with.

This is a very unusual thing for Yulian.

You know, this group of geists is not an ordinary ghost, they were born thousands of years ago in the era of the most developed magic, the moon of light, they themselves have great power, plus they are bound by powerful soul magic, after the baptism of time, although their power is not as strong as mages, but in the spirit world, they are few opponents. In fact, as a former battlefield, there are countless people who have died on this land, and resentful spirits are naturally not uncommon, but most of those resentful spirits have been completely sucked by the geyers and eliminated as food, and now, there are actually resentful spirits that cannot be eliminated by these geistes, which undoubtedly makes Yu Lian interested.

And now, standing in the dark tunnels, Yulian finally understood why those geists couldn't move forward.

The air is filled not only with the unique fear of death and the obsession with life of the wraith, but also with the powerful illusory energy, a unique magical energy that reacts only to disembodied, illusory beings. Because of this, for the disembodied spirits, this place full of illusory energy is their place of death, as long as they dare to enter, then there is only one way to die.

However, why is there such a powerful illusory energy spreading here?

Yulian frowned and continued to walk inside. Generally speaking, the only person who emits a magical aura after death is a mage, but why do the spirits never seem to find out about it?

The narrow corridor was pitch black and dark, even the light on the torches became dim, and when you turned the corner, the killing intent of the soul became more obvious, and the source could be found almost without confirmation.

It was a shaft.

Originally, it was supposed to be behind the walls of the dungeon, but because of time, the walls of the dungeon collapsed to reveal a gap, which caused the breath that was originally enclosed in it to leak out. The well water had long since dried up, revealing bare inner walls and masonry. Yuren jumped down, turned his head, and easily found his target.

It was a corpse.

Or rather, something that was supposed to be a corpse.

Because of the passage of time, the clothes have become tattered, and most of the white bones have been buried under the loess. Yuren moved the torch to shine on the corpse in front of him, and then his gaze moved up, looking around.

Under the light of the fire, the walls were marked by terrible scratches.

The stone used for the construction of the well, due to the need to take into account the pressure and infiltration, is the best stone, even if it is cut with a sword, it may not be able to leave any traces on it, and although the well water is dry, the moss cultivated by the moist water will also make the surface of the stone bricks more slippery, but at this moment, on those stone bricks, there are scratches left on the road, and the traces left on the hard rocks can be seen how strong the other party's survival ** is.

However, fate still did not give any chance because of the efforts of the other party.

This is fate, and some people can't achieve their goals no matter how hard they try...... It's the same even at the cost of life.

Yulian crouched down and tried to clean up the pile of corpses, so far, the resentful spirit has not appeared, but in order to lure the other party, Yulian also has his own thoughts and plans.

And the moment he crouched down, cold, violent energy suddenly burst out from behind Yu Lian, blowing out the already shaky torches.
