Chapter 8: Being a Lord

It has been more than half a month since the emperor ate three-quarters of the roots of the meat lingzhi and burrowed into the emperor's demon core. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The emperor doesn't seem to have anything to do at all, except for an extra scar on his eyebrows, reminding Ye Zhi not to be careless, the emperor's daily performance is no different from the past.

In contrast, the emperor's appetite is better than before, his hair has become more supple and tough, and his body has become larger. The most important thing is that it was originally only the lowest-level first-order demonic beast, but now it has actually become a second-order demonic beast.

Through the observation of the past half a month, as well as checking the emperor's body with his divine sense from time to time, and paying attention to the situation of the demon core, Ye Zhi found that the roots of the flesh lingzhi seemed to have the effect of gathering and absorbing demonic energy, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to become a second-level demonic beast with the emperor's qualifications alone.

The emperor is a hybrid breed, I don't know what kind of breed it is, it's good to be able to be called a Warcraft, and the emperor has not shown the ability it should have as a Warcraft. Even now, after becoming a second-order demonic beast, the emperor has only become larger and stronger.

After that whisker penetrated into the demon core, the speed at which the demon core absorbed the magic energy was greatly increased, and it gradually fused with the demon core to form an inseparable whole.

In terms of results, this is beneficial and harmless to the emperor, and Ye Zhi gradually became relieved, and then began to work on his own money-making plan.

In order to have a better life, Ye Zhi had to put a lot of money on his agenda, and he decided to start with food first. So after being a little relieved about the emperor's affairs, Ye Zhi wandered around the restaurants of the empire, firstly, to observe the stepping points on the spot, and secondly, to better understand the food culture of this world.

In a few days, the harvest of leaf plants is not small, but there are also many worries, and the biggest problem is funding.

If you want to start your own restaurant, you can't do it without enough funds, if you want to ask your family for money, a few hundred or even thousands of gold coins are no problem, but it will be difficult to do tens of thousands of gold coins.

Do you want to auction the pills you have refined?

If Ye Zhi wanted to auction, he would have done so a long time ago, so why bother to set up a restaurant to make money.

"Well, what should I do to be able to get together the funds to start a restaurant?" Ye Zhi had a headache for a long time for this problem, and it was still a matter of money, and a penny was difficult for a hero.

"Count Dole, I heard that the magic crystal mine has been discovered in your territory, so your tax must be good this year. At the door of a luxury hotel, a very obese fat man met an acquaintance and said this.

"Hehe, it's not bad, but it's just a small magic crystal mine, and the tax is only raised by 30%. ”

"Sancheng, that's pretty good, hahaha. The two counts smiled at each other, tacitly acknowledging each other, and said nothing.

In this world, there are many precious minerals that must be handed over to the state once they are discovered, and the state will mine them. The Magic Crystal Mine is not a particularly precious mineral, so the management has been much more relaxed than for thousands of years, once the Magic Crystal Mine is found in its own territory, then it is only necessary to hand over half of the mined Magic Crystal Mine.

Although it is expressly stipulated that half of it must be handed over to the national treasury, who will strictly follow the regulations and abide by them?

As a lord, that is, a local tyrant, the emperor is far away, and it is of course simple to want to do something in secret, and it is of course a simple thing to swallow some secretly, which is also a very common thing, and there are not a lot of things to do in secret, so these two counts will look at each other and smile.

The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and the words of these two noble earls gave Ye Zhi some inspiration and ideas.

Owning a territory and being a freelord yourself is a good choice. At this moment, Ye Zhi's mind became active, this mind was activated, it was difficult to stop, the more Ye Zhi thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to be a free lord, the stronger it became, but before that, he had to have a territory.

So, how do you have to own a piece of territory?

Although he is the son of the prince, although he can now inherit the position of the prince, what he can inherit is only a name, and if he does not do something, it is absolutely impossible to have real power.

As for owning a territory of your own, it's not impossible, but you need to fight for it yourself, and wait until the right age. That is, the coming-of-age ceremony, only after he reaches the age of sixteen and completes the ceremony, he will inherit the title, and then distribute it according to the territory of the Osiris Empire.

Although there is a lot of territory, with the establishment of the empire for thousands of years, the number of nobles has also become bloated, one radish and one pit. Nowadays, there are at least thousands of nobles in the Osiris Empire, but there are not many nobles who own territories, and the emperor still has the idea of reclaiming the territory, because the private army kept by the lord is always a problem.

I am only eight years old now, and I am still eight years away from the age of sixteen, so I can't wait that long.

Even if you can't afford to wait and don't contribute enough, even if you can be allocated a territory, I'm afraid it's just a barren land. The old prince is already old, and now he has no status, and his influence is a little, but it is limited to the military, not politically, and Ye Zhi's father is the same.

So how can you make sure that you can get a piece of territory?

Ye Zhi, who was thinking about this question, glanced at the Count of Dol, and it was this glance that attracted Ye Zhi's attention, because Ye Zhi saw the black gas on the body of the Count of Dol.

A hazy black gas came out of Count Dole's back, which formed a distorted grimace in mid-air, and then disappeared in an instant.

Grimace, that kind of black gas, seems to be resentment, that is, a kind of evil energy. Although evil energy is also counted in the magic energy, there are not many people who can absorb and use it, and such people are unprovoked evil people, and once discovered, they will be killed.

Although Ye Zhi didn't have any contact in this aspect, because of the exercises he cultivated, what he absorbed was the rejuvenation of all things that absorbed natural energy, so Ye Zhi was a little sensitive to resentment.

The resentment on Count Dole came from something in his body, which was born intermittently, which made Ye Zhi a little curious, so Ye Zhi followed.

The two Earls had only walked together for a while, and then they parted, and the Earl of Dole stopped and stopped along the way, occasionally lifting his collar, and then bowing his head and muttering something to himself.

Ye Zhi didn't know lip language, so he didn't know what he was talking about, the only thing that was clear was that those black qi were emitting from his chest pocket, because whenever he opened his collar and talked to himself, the black qi would come out as if nothing was there. There must be something in his breast pocket, and that is the source of resentment.

Since the emperor became a second-order demonic beast, not only has he had a great appetite, but his hunting instinct has also become more and more intense.

So recently, in addition to eating and drinking well every day, the emperor often hunts outside, so the birds and mice near the prince's palace are miserable, all of them have been destroyed by the emperor, especially mice, because of the playful nature of cats, they are usually played with dozens of times, until the emperor is tired of playing before they are eaten.

As the emperor became more and more powerful, the birds and mice could no longer satisfy the emperor's hunting, because the difficulty of hunting them was too low, and there was no sense of accomplishment at all.

As a result, the emperor's goal began to transform into ...... Vipers, as well as some low-level magical beasts.

Of course, there are almost no poisonous snakes in the imperial capital, although there are also some low-level magical beasts, but it is impossible for the emperor to hunt, either he is too strong or he is kept in captivity and guarded. So the emperor ran to the suburbs, and in the woods in the suburbs, he unleashed his nature to the fullest and became a ruthless hunter.

Today, the emperor hunted a first-order demonic beast fire rat, which was tired of playing with this fire-breathing little mouse and was enjoying its delicious meal. It was at this time that the emperor saw a familiar figure, which was its owner.

How did the master come to this place, and the master seemed to be following a person, and that person was the master's prey?

As soon as he thought of this, the emperor was immediately excited, his tail stood up and wagged, he wanted to know, what kind of prey is the master, what is the hunting method of the master, and how will the master play with its prey?

With these questions and curiosity, the emperor quietly followed behind Ye Zhi, staring at Ye Zhi with a pair of big eyes, looking at Ye Zhi and the person in front of him, and there was a strong curiosity written in those big eyes.

Ye Zhi didn't find out about the existence of the emperor, although he was careful to pay attention to whether there was anyone behind him, but he never thought that what was following him was a cat or a cat that he raised.

If Ye Zhi saw the curious light flashing in the emperor's eyes at this time, then Ye Zhi would definitely be surprised, although curiosity is the nature of cats, but the curiosity shown by the emperor at this time has far exceeded what it should have.

It seems that the roots of the flesh lingzhi have penetrated into the demon core, not only to speed up the condensation of magic energy, so that the emperor can evolve in the direction of high-level demonic beasts, but also to make the emperor's wisdom continue to deepen, and the current emperor has begun to learn to think, and it has shown human emotions.

This was originally supposed to be the humanity and wisdom that would only be presented on at least seventh-order demonic beasts, but now the emperor who only has second-order demonic beasts already has it.
