Chapter 57: Surrender
Inside the shaking carriage, Roman took the map, weighed it, then knocked on the carriage and ordered:
"Qiao Sen, don't go to the Broken Bone King Court yet, and go to the Emerald Collar instead!"
"Yes!" Jossen, who was driving, answered, and the carriage began to turn.
The Emerald Collar is an oasis rich in water and close to a black market entrance for easy access to knowledge about the Cursed Virus.
At this time, the chip came with a prompt: "Ding! Affected by the curse, the physical condition deteriorates, and the indicators are as follows......"
"Stamina: 7.5 (10.4), Nerve Reaction Speed: 6.4 (10.2), Vitality: 8.3 (10.5), Mental Power: 2.4 (5.6), Life Essence: 8.2 (10.1)"
"It's gone down again...... Roman heart sank, his fists were clenched, his wrists were sore, and he was no longer as strong as before, and he couldn't help but be irritable:
"Chips! The human body is composed of microscopic particles arranged and combined, and the arrangement before infection should be recorded. ”
"Ding! No, this method has been tried, but the curse accelerates the increase of entropy in the body, and the speed exceeds the entropy reduction of mental power......"
"Damn!" Roman hammered the car door, and now he has nothing to do except supplement the information on the black market.
Everything in the world goes from order to disorder, just as food will eventually rot, corpses will rot, rooms will become chaotic, and so will the microscopic particles that make up Roman, which will eventually decay in chaos.
This irreversible increase in chaos is an increase in entropy.
In addition to bringing the virus, the curse also accelerated the increase in entropy in Roman's body, and even if there is a chip to do work to reduce entropy, it is still a drop in the bucket.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Chip, find the current speed, how long will it be before I will lose my mobility?" ”
"Ding! About 30 days. ”
"30 days... Looks like the plan is going to get faster! Roman groaned, and then shouted outside the car: "Speed up, you must reach the Emerald Collar before noon!" ”
In his heart, Roman hated the spellcaster, he had never suffered such a big loss when he had grown so big.
However, it is not without good news, as it is known from the chip analysis that the curse has a counter-devouring mechanism, and as long as Roman cracks the curse, the other party will pay the price.
"Humph! Wait and see! Roman was secretly ruthless.
At this moment, the carriage came to a sudden stop, and there was a sound of fighting outside the carriage, and after a while silence returned, and Qiao Sen reported:
"Report to the master, I just encountered a group of desert horse bandits, and they have been subdued, how to deal with them, please instruct!"
Roman lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw dozens of sturdy men kneeling outside, about to order the execution, but after a second thought, he said:
"In front of them is the Emerald Collar, they will be used later, all the prisoners will be reorganized, and those who resist will be killed!"
The carriage continued to move forward, and soon saw a huge stone boundary monument, and on the other side of the boundary monument, there was a green meadow, embedded in the endless yellow sand.
No wonder it's called Emerald Oasis.
Roman stepped forward and saw that the stone tablet read: Emerald Territory Territory, the illegal intruder is dead!
So he said lightly: "Fly it!" ”
Qiao Sen kicked vigorously, and with a "boom", the boulder of two people flew out of the distance, and the loud sound echoed in the wilderness.
Roman couldn't help laughing: "Such a big movement saves a lot of red tape. ”
At this time, more than 20 cavalrymen in strong and stubborn clothes galloped towards Roman, stopping dozens of meters away, according to the aura they emitted, they all had the strength of knights, and the leader of them was still a big knight.
The leading knight stepped forward and said, "Who is Your Excellency?" Invade my Emerald Collar for no reason, do you want to go to war? ”
Roman raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?" The lords here? ”
He was light and calm, and the big knight was a little flustered for no reason, but on the surface, he did not lose his momentum, and replied sharply:
"I'm Viscount Hawke! Emerald Lord! Get out of here, or I'll kill you! ”
Roman nodded, still said lightly: "Lord... Well, as long as I take you down, the jade collar will be mine. ”
With that, he waved his hand, and Qiao Sen and the others behind him burst into battle qi, and instantly came to Viscount Hawke's body and threw a punch.
There were five big knights on Roman's side, and Viscount Hawke was only one, and the latter was immediately at a disadvantage and was punched away.
Before, the five of Qiao Sen hid their strength, and Viscount Hawke didn't know that they were big knights, but now that five of them were revealed at once, he was immediately shocked.
At this time, he saw Roman standing alone in the back, looking sick, and thought of him giving orders.
So he treated him as a soft persimmon, and as long as he took him, he could take down these knights, so he ordered loudly:
"I'll resist the big knight, you take down that little brat!"
His knights received the order and immediately surrounded Roman, with a disdainful taunt on his face.
Roman has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and because of the virus, he looks pale and thin, presumably a second-generation waste who has not been beaten by society, and only relies on a few big knights to run rampant.
So the knights were full of confidence, and they were sure of it, and they were planning to catch Roman for a while, give him a beating, pick up soap, and let him know that society was sinister.
But as soon as Roman summoned the fireball and exploded in front of him, they instantly fell to their knees.
Roman then said aloud: "Surrender or die!" ”
As soon as the words fell, regardless of the presence of Viscount Hawke, the knights immediately shouted: "I will surrender!" There are no eyes, and the wizard spares his life! ”
Viscount Hawke was also shocked, and while parrying the attacks of several big knights, he said loudly: "I admit defeat!" The emerald collar is yours! Wizard Lord! ”
Roman waved his hand and told the knights to stop attacking.
For mortals, a wizard is like a god, especially a third-level apprentice who knows witchcraft, and he can't be offended no matter what.
The best way to sanction power is by force.
For mortals, a third-level apprentice can easily slaughter a city and destroy a country, whether you are a noble knight or a great knight, killing it is the same as slaughtering a chicken and killing a dog.
Even if Roman kills a river of blood, he will be taken back to the academy at most, just like the Journey to the West monsters eat countless people, and after being defeated, they will also take back the heavenly court, and there is no.
So, when Roman showed the witch, the enemy immediately knelt and the battle ended in a hurry.
Roman walked up to Viscount Hawke and said lightly: "My name is Roman, I am a wizard, are you really willing to give me the jade?" ”
The viscount knelt on the ground and nodded hurriedly: "I am willing, Lord Wizard, I will immediately write a certificate, give up the title and territory, and transfer it to you." ”
Roman smiled and patted his head: "You have this heart... It's very good, but no, Jade Leader I'm on loan for a while, and you're still the Viscount of Jade Leader, you know what I mean? ”
The viscount's eyes lit up, and he nodded in ecstasy: "Understand, I am the puppet lord of the wizard lord, but the lord has orders, I will definitely go to the soup in the next place!" ”
The other party said this, and Roman also gave sweetness in a timely manner: "During the lease period, the territory is still managed by you, and I don't rent you in vain, how about a magic stone every year?" ”
Viscount Hawke kowtowed again, this time in true obedience.
The so-called puppet lord, but there is an extra master behind the scenes, as long as he completes the master's order, he has no less power, but the benefits are huge.
First of all, the territory is inhabited by a wizard, which is undoubtedly a great guarantee for safety, and the surrounding territories have to weigh the attitude of the wizard when they invade.
Secondly, the whole body of a wizard is a treasure, not to mention anything else, in the mortal world, a magic stone is a priceless treasure, which can be exchanged for countless gold coins and can buy everything in the mortal world.
Not to mention the rune stones, magic robes, and demonized items, all of which exist in mortal dreams, and even a piece of a wizard can sell for sky-high gold coins.
As long as Roman leaks out a little, it can benefit the Hawke family immensely.
Finally, if you can get your own women to have a relationship with Roman and give birth to the caster's offspring, then the Hawke family will soar.
In this way, Roman successfully became the emperor of the Emerald Collar, and then set his sights on the nearby black market.
