Chapter 504: The Most Reasonable Great Devil (10,000 Words Big Chapter Asking for Subscription)
I was crushed by a skinny human in terms of strength?
Apparently not believing in evil, Gromnir immediately picked up the [Ice Star] Meteor Hammer to attack again, and also wanted to use his legendary specialty, the Grappling Master, to limit the opponent's movement and counterattack moves.
If you can, it's best to knock out the powerful magical sword that exudes a curtain of moonlight, and engage in a purely blood-wrenched fight.
As a savage and cunning half-breed orc, he had defeated many powerful enemies in this way, even creatures like the Fire Giant, which were much larger than himself.
So I am very confident in my strength and physique.
Unless the opponent is a warrior monk who is more proficient in hand-to-hand combat, no matter how superb the skill and pace of weapon use are, it will be difficult to exert all their strength under this kind of zero-distance grappling and stumbling, and the result can only die in aggrieved and constantly beating down with fists.
However, Gromnier apparently forgets that there are two main factors that determine the success of the takedown.
One of them is the strength attribute, and the other is size.
He himself was just a half-breed orc just over two meters tall, and although he looked stronger, he was also of medium size, almost on the same level as Zuo Si.
This also means that the final confrontation will be reflected in the force link.
When this guy wielded the meteor hammer to attack at a tricky angle, luring the opponent to raise the sword continuously, he suddenly grabbed an attack gap, and the whole person immediately took a big step forward, opening his arms to grab Zuo Si's waist.
Immediately after the order, the simulacrum went around to the back to lock the shoulders and arms, and then used the knee to slam the back to break the spine that connected the nerves in the lower half of the body.
From that hideous smile, it is not difficult to see that it is not the first time that he has done this kind of thing, and he has extremely rich experience.
But at the moment when Gromnier successfully hugged his waist, he suddenly felt a huge impact from his abdomen.
Next Second......
Touch!
He flew into the air on the spot, and his two arms flew out before they could close their clamps, and at the same time a large amount of mist blood spurted out from his mouth and nostrils.
As he continued to fly backwards, Gromnier faintly saw the knee of his left leg raised with his blurred vision in severe pain.
There is no doubt that it was this terrifying blow that hit the muscles of the abdomen and the fragile internal organs inside.
At this moment, he really believed that the thin young human in front of him had really completely crushed himself in terms of strength.
The muscles that looked extremely inconspicuous contained some kind of terrifying explosive power that was completely inconsistent with the appearance.
Rumble!!!!!
With a loud bang, Gromnier slammed into the wall of the sewer, collapsing two walls in a row before barely stopping.
In contrast, Zuo Si on the other side was obviously taken aback, he didn't expect this half-breed orc with a big waist and a round waist to be so insidious, not using a powerful enchanted weapon of +4, and wanting to play wrestling with himself.
You must know that although he has learned swordsmanship with Sorin Markov for a while, and has mastered gorgeous sword dancing skills under the tutelage of the dark girl Elisetsu, he has no experience in fighting with his bare hands at all.
Especially when facing grappling, stumbling, and locking skills, once you are successful, you can most likely only get out by magic, or rely on your own strong vitality to resist damage reduction.
After all, it is a unique form of the Great Devil, and it also has the form of a purgatory dragon, a large number of protective spells, and the blessing of various divine powers.
It's really not easy to really cause effective damage to today's Zuo Si.
At least mortals, especially warriors who rely entirely on physical attacks, don't expect to be able to do that easily.
What's more, the agility attribute of up to forty points on the attribute panel is not dry.
The rush to hit Gromnier with his knee in the abdomen is the best proof of this.
Although he may not have enough experience in hand-to-hand combat, he can't resist the speed of nerve reflexes that is several times faster than that of the enemy.
This also means that unless the opponent can also have the same level of ultra-high reaction speed, even if he grabs the first move, he may be counter-killed.
After knocking Gromnier into the air, Zuo Si's shoulders instantly snapped off the simulacrum's hands alive, followed by a sword to behead him.
After doing all this, he raised his head to look at the half-blood orcs who were struggling to get up from the ruins and rubble not far away, bent down and picked up the weapons that the other party had dropped on the ground, and asked with interest, "So...... Are you actually better at using grappling, stumbling, and other techniques to defeat enemies in hand-to-hand combat than using weapons? I have to say, this gave me a very good inspiration and experience. ”
"What the fuck are you?"
Gromnir spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with the plasma, his eyes filled with unbelievable fear.
A spellcaster mage who can completely crush himself in strength, agility, and hand-to-hand combat?
Is it really possible for such a person to exist?
At least in his cognition, the only creatures that can do this are dragons, angels, demons, and demons, which are powerful races beyond mortals.
Of course, there are some ancient vampires or other high-level undead creatures that have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.
"Hehe, you don't seem to understand that the Brigade Mage is different from the mage in the usual sense of the word in this world, and there is no weakness that is not good at melee combat.
Some Brigade Mages who specialize in melee combat even have the ability to regenerate infinitely, recovering instantly no matter how badly injured.
They can single-handedly slay through a powerful, heavily armed army.
Since you're about to die, and even your soul will be consumed by the Chaos Hound, I'm going to show you a little bit of your true power.
Don't blink, because it's over in a flash. ”
As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si raised his hand and made a void grasping motion.
Moment!
Gromnir felt that the divine power and divinity that belonged to his father Baal in his body were passing rapidly, and with it the vigorous vitality of the legendary warrior.
He could almost see his otherwise strong body withering, wilting, aging, and finally turning into a lifeless corpse at a rate visible to the naked eye.
As for the soul......
It was only less than a second after he left his body, and he was bitten by the ancient evil creatures waiting on the side, and it was devoured in three or two strokes, and he disappeared from the world forever, and even the wishing technique and the gods could not bring it back to life.
Not only Gromnier, but the rest of his men and the sons of Baal all ended up in the same way.
In order to keep the secret, Zuo Si had no intention of letting anything alive leave from the beginning, whether it was a human being or their souls after death.
Obviously, since he obtained the perfect weapon of extermination, he no longer needs to risk being discovered by the new Grim Reaper Cranvo to imprison the soul himself, but just let this guy eat it.
Even if Cranvo used his priesthood and divine power to track down, it would be impossible to know where the soul devoured by the Chaos Demon Dog had gone.
After a full meal, Kozv quickly returned to his usual black and white puppy appearance, ran back to his master's side, wagging his tail and letting out a low whine, as if to express his joy from the moment.
"Well done! What a good dog! ”
Zuo Si touched the other party's furry head as a sign of encouragement.
After all, he had built a brain with a gift from the God of Craftsmen, and what he had endowed was the consciousness and way of thinking of a loyal dog.
Even if the dog has a higher intelligence than most humans.
Kozv, who had been complimented, immediately rubbed his master's hand, and his pupils shone with excitement and joy.
Soon, Zuo Si cleared the scene and packed away a series of loot including Gromnir's [Helm of Willer], [Ice Star], [Belt of Strength], [Boots of Speed], [Agile Gauntlet], [Mithril Full Body Armor], [+3 Ring of Protection] and so on.
In addition, there are several large chests full of gold coins and valuable gems, as well as spell books, enchanted robes, and magic rings from high to low levels dropped from the mage's body.
As for the low-level magic weapons and equipment used by the warriors who are high-level cannon fodder, they are the relatively least valuable of all the loot.
For his most combat-ready cronies, Gromnier has obviously invested in these guys, estimating that more than two-thirds of the wealth he has amassed has been spent on them.
Even everyone is equipped with a production-ready +2 weapon with a small amount of Adamantite and magical power, and even the arrows used by the archers are enchanted arrows instead of normal arrows.
In short, these things can be called a windfall in front of any adventuring team.
It is enough for them to end their life of licking blood from the knife and enjoy a luxurious life as a monopoly for the rest of their lives.
Although Zuo Si didn't like these things for a long time, they could just be used as rewards for players.
Especially the Helm of Weller and the Ice Star.
The former can create a simulacrum of the wearer out of thin air, and the stronger its own strength, the greater the effect, although it can only exist for a short time, but as long as it is used well, it can often produce unexpected miraculous effects.
The latter was directly changed by him with the creator's abilities, changing from a meteor hammer to a cool heavy sword.
It was like a block of ice, exuding a biting chill, and the crystal sword body was always emitting a blue glow.
Not to mention the +4 enchantment level, the additional cold damage that can be dealt on hit, and the resistance to fire-based damage, this stylish appearance alone can cause players to scramble wildly.
After all, Zuo Si was also one of the players back then, and understood this group's fanatical pursuit of cool shapes and special effects.
Coupled with the extremely high rarity, some people will want to take it even if they are bankrupt.
At the thought of being able to cut a wave of leeks again, a playful smile involuntarily appeared on his face, and he immediately cast a teleportation magic and disappeared in place.
……
Meanwhile, far north of the Cloudsy Mountains, in the Tower of Durag, another son of Baal, Aberdale, is being held in a cage and suffering immensely.
Some unknown spell constantly stimulated the pain nerves, and he couldn't help but let out wails and curses.
"Ahhhh!!!!!!!!h I...... I swear! Be sure to eat your meat once you're out! Drink your blood! Peel your cramps and peel them off! ”
Sadly, Irenikas didn't have the slightest expression on his face in the face of all this, as if he hadn't heard anything, and continued to torment the other party until he was completely exhausted and dying.
It doesn't take to know that since the defeat of Shalophok, Aberdale and his teammates have been hanging around Sword Bay for a while, returning to Candlefort to visit the grave of his old friend and adoptive father, Glion.
As a result, when he was heading south to travel overland to Am, he was accidentally plotted by the shadow thieves, and as a result, everyone was captured and given to Irenikas who had been waiting for a long time.
So, he immediately began his research that he had interrupted.
As for the shadow thieves involved in this matter, it was entirely due to the guild war and the suppression from Zuo Si, which caused many illegal businesses to be unable to continue at all, and the capital chain was almost broken several times, and they could only continue to consume their previous savings to survive.
As soon as he heard that someone was willing to offer a high reward to kidnap an adventure team, he immediately agreed without even thinking about it.
No way, it's really poor and crazy.
With the protracted guild war in sight, a lot of money is being consumed every day.
Whether it's recruiting and hiring people, or giving pensions to those who die, it's all about throwing money around.
Otherwise, if you are not even willing to give money, who will work hard for the organization.
So Irenikas's list was like a piece of fat that easily made the Shadow Thieves Guild fall into a trap.
In order to earn this money, Reynolds Bloodhead personally led the team and used the few paralyzing toxins left in the guild that he had purchased from Zuo Si, and let everyone go in a short period of time.
When he woke up, Aberdale found himself in a cage, suffering from the inhumane torture of the other party every day.
He didn't even understand, he didn't understand, what was the point of doing that.
"How's your research going?"
As the Son of Baal fell into a coma, Viconia, who was hiding in the shadows, slowly came out, her eyes flashing with intense curiosity.
Ever since the end of her operation in Simon, she has been here as Zuosi's representative, responsible for observing the other party's every move and making sure that it does things according to the contract.
After all, the priest himself is the eye of the god and god-like power he serves.
As long as Viconia followed Irenikas, then Zoth could see through her eyes what this crazy high-level elven mage was up to.
Irenikas undoubtedly knew this, or he hadn't thought of playing tricks since signing the devil's contract, and immediately replied without thinking, "It's coming!
I have already glimpsed the mysteries of the gods and what it takes to become a god from a mortal.
As long as I do a few more experiments and confirm it repeatedly, I can begin to strip the divinity and divine power from the body of this son of Baal, and make all the preparations for the canonization of myself.
And you, and your master, will also get what he wants. ”
"Oh? Could it be that you are secretly establishing contact with the Dark Elf Hostesses of Uster Nasza City in private, and you are also preparing for the canonization of gods? ”
Viconia narrowed her eyes and cautiously probed.
Since she herself is a dark elf born and raised in Morsoblay, she is very aware of the evil and cruel nature of her compatriots.
Unless Irenikas made the other party interested, the ruling families of Uster Naza would never make any promises, let alone agree to a cooperation agreement with a dirty, lowly surface elf who had been banished.
Yes!
Despite his terrifying magical powers, Irenikas is still a low, filthy surface elf trash in the eyes of dark elves like Vicornia.
Even though he had been stripped of his elven racial characteristics, he could still tell it from his gestures.
"Or else?
Do you think that to become a god is to seize the divine power and divinity of several sons of gods?
No, that doesn't elevate a mortal to godhood.
Acquiring divinity is only the first step in the transformation from mortality, and the next step is faith or great energy.
I obviously didn't have the patience and time to cultivate believers and churches little by little, so getting a huge source of energy became the only option.
The city of Sodenisra contains a Tree of Life, a sacred tree that has been blessed and blessed by the elven gods.
As long as I can seize all of its energy, I will be able to use it as fuel to ignite the spark of power in divinity, and finally enter the elven realm of Avatar and become a member of the gods.
Since Sodenisra has a lot of magical enchantment protection, I'll need to recruit a lot of allies to attack.
Don't you think that the dark elves, who hate surface elves the most, are naturally a force that can be harnessed? ”
As he said this, Irenikas exuded a strong resentment that could not be described in words.
Needless to say, in addition to the above reasons, he also has one of the most important purposes that he has not said, and that is to take revenge on this elven city that has exiled him, and kill all the living things there.
Viconia smiled and nodded, "Of course, it's a good idea.
But I must warn you that you must be very careful when dealing with dark elves.
Because they don't know when, they will suddenly stab their allies in the back. ”
Hearing this, Irenikas immediately burst into a burst of wild laughter: "Hahahaha! Dangerous?
Believe me, there's nothing more dangerous in this world than cooperating with your master.
Compared to him, the dark elves of the city of Ust Naza were like harmless kittens.
I am where I am today thanks to his generosity and kindness. ”
From these words, Viconia undoubtedly heard a strong sense of resentment and resentment.
But so what?
Don't you even dare to be incompetent in front of yourself?
Thinking of this, she curled the corners of her mouth slightly and comforted: "Don't worry, you have signed a contract, as long as you don't take the initiative to violate the terms therein, Your Excellency Soth will not do anything to you." After all, he is one of the few big devils in the world who is willing to reason in the face of the weak. ”
"Humph!"
Irenikas ended the conversation with a sneer, turning and disappearing into the intricate corridors and stairs of the Tower of Durag.
After the other party was completely away, Viconia came to Aberdell's approach, and was about to cast two healing spells.
It turned out that the wounds on the Son of Baal had begun to heal at an extremely rapid pace, and emitted a dark red mist filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Out of caution, she immediately took a few steps back to observe this strange phenomenon carefully, and after about two or three minutes, she whispered with a frown, "Is this the power that the Son of God inherited from the gods?"
It's incredible!
No wonder so many mortals aspire to be one of the gods.
Even the weakest demigods......"
After confirming that Aberdell's life was not in danger, Viconia immediately turned around and left the room to secretly deliver food to Sancho and Aemon.
Since Viconia was constantly watching, the two little ones were not tortured and abused as inhumanely as Aberdell.
Instead, he was lying comfortably in the cage resting and sleeping, and occasionally taking time to exercise his magic and divine power in his body.
There is no doubt that although Zuo Si has no intention of going down in person for the time being, he has not relaxed his monitoring of the sons of Baal, and at the same time secretly figured out a few of them who have the support of the gods behind them.
In the next stage, his goal is to use the "Five Descendants" to eliminate these unseeded contestants first, so that the real protagonists can get on the big stage of the finals.
You must know that the Sons of Baal are vying for the throne of blood, but it is an out-and-out war of gods.
Especially the last few remaining, each of which has the power of a quasi-god or even a demigod, and can easily destroy a planet.
Therefore, Zuo Si must prepare more than one method of killing gods in advance.
At this moment, he was sitting in the glittering royal palace in Port Carlin, fiddling with new inventions from the Church of Gunde, the god of craftsmen, while listening to the report of the Imperial Prime Minister, Shod Tarovin.
Since the completion of the merger of the two empires, a total of five centers have been set up to facilitate administration and rule, that is, one capital and four companion capitals.
Among them, you don't need to ask about the capital, and it must be Ascalla, the former capital of Am.
The reason is simple.
Just in the middle of the coastline, the port city is the most important hub for sea, air and land transportation.
In addition, commerce is extremely prosperous, and it is one of the most important pocket--craft bases in the whole country.
The four capitals are the most important and prosperous port of Carlin in the south;
Baldur's Gate, which is connected to the Northland;
The west gate that extends like tentacles into the sea of falling stars;
Surdover, an important city that holds the throat of the steam lake.
It can be said that each of these cities has great potential for development, and it is also the most prosperous and populous area of the local economy, which can radiate and control large areas of land around it.
As long as these cities can be controlled and developed, the power of the West Coast Empire will grow steadily, driving the surrounding and even inland relatively backward towns and villages.
However, despite the fact that Ascatra is the capital, Zuosi and the top brass of the country usually live in Port Carlin.
If needed, any town in the empire with a population of more than 20,000 can be reached directly through a magic portal.
Yes, you read that right.
With a large number of arcane spellcasters and mage towers scattered all over the country, Zuo Si has set up permanent portals in all important strongholds.
Want to rely on the advantages of inconvenient transportation and remote location to become the emperor of the soil behind closed doors?
Want to engage in the gentry model of imperial power not going to the countryside?
Stop dreaming!
Imperial inspectors, the military, bureaucrats, and law enforcement officers can use these portals to reach any village in three days at any time.
Note that this is a village, not a town.
Therefore, the terrifying superiority of the West Coast Empire in terms of grassroots organization and dominance is not at all comparable to any other country in the Feron Continent.
Of course, there was an even more important reason for choosing to locate the administrative center in Port Carlin, which has a high literacy rate and educated population, as well as an innumerable number of professional colleges, which are ideal as a base for training bureaucrats.
In addition, Zuo Si was too lazy to build a palace that symbolized status and power in a place like Ascaltra, and directly used the ready-made one of Port Carlin.
After all, this palace was built during the Chaon Empire, and it was quite good in terms of scale, shape and architectural style, which was very much in line with his appetite.
"Your Majesty, with the popularity of airships, propeller ships, and heavy magic carriages, trade within the empire has quadrupled in a short period of time, and taxes have increased exponentially.
Although we have formed many new departments and expanded the number of bureaucrats at your command, we still have a considerable surplus after paying their salaries and the costs of the army.
Personally, I would suggest that if you don't have any plans to build a new palace or buy other luxuries for yourself, it's better to invest more money in water projects.
Although we have already started six irrigation projects, they are clearly far from the size of the empire.
Finally, it is about unifying the official script and language.
In accordance with your request, we have unanimously decided to choose the lingua franca with the highest penetration rate at present.
If nothing else, the books and textbooks will be distributed to every city after a month at most, and will be taught in local public schools.
As for the issue of universal basic education, we can only barely achieve it at the municipal level.
But fortunately, the Church of the God of Knowledge said it would help.
They say there are some free small classes in areas where there are shrines and shrines.
I think this should save a lot of money......"
There is no doubt that from the report alone, it can be seen that Shode Tarovin is definitely a qualified prime minister.
Although he himself had a bad habit of accepting bribes and forming factions for personal gain when he served Shaun VII, he was able to keep the Shane Empire in order, which had just experienced war.
And after Zuo Si took the position, this guy was very smart and immediately got rid of all his previous problems, never took anyone's money again, and did not use his power to promote his own henchmen.
Because Shod Tarovin knew very well that he was different from Shane VII, who only needed to maintain a stable rule.
The new emperor has no room for a grain of sand in his eyes.
This was known long ago when he was studying the legal and political structure of Luskan.
Coupled with the example of the northern Anmu family being played to death by the "Tui En Order", Shawd Tarowan, who finally climbed to the position of prime minister, did not want a similar situation to be staged in his own family.
After all, unlike the monogamous Am, the powerful men of the Karlin Shirt have more than one woman.
If there are many women, it is natural that there will be no fewer heirs.
Which head of the family who survives to middle age and old age does not have a dozen or even dozens of children?
Often, apart from the designated heirs, the children do not receive any property at all.
You can only use a little money provided by the family to go out and become a businessman, or an adventurer and mercenary wandering around.
If this is a decree, all the wealth will be divided equally among the children, and the whole family will cease to exist.
Therefore, the rich and nouveau riche who survived the purge of the liberated slaves now have unimaginable awe for the emperor Zuo Si, and they dare not make a mistake at all.
No matter what kind of policy it is, they will rush to cooperate, for fear that they will be on the legendary blacklist slowly.
"Very well, continue to carry out according to the original plan, I think it will not be a few years before the whole empire will become a different shape.
As for the construction of water conservancy, it is best to consult with the local magic academy.
With the help of magic, many of the more difficult constructions can be made much easier.
Finally, there is the problem of traffic roads.
Although we have a magic carriage that won't easily get stuck in a mud puddle, the road still needs to be repaired.
At the very least, make sure there is a smooth road between the town and the countryside that can be driven at high speeds.
Let's start with densely populated areas. ”
Zuo Si gave instructions without raising his head.
Because the entire bureaucratic and administrative system has been built, and the judicial system and the two sets of supervision systems have also been launched at the same time, most of the government affairs no longer need to be handled by him personally, and he only needs to give a general direction.
Shode Tarovin hurriedly bent down and bowed deeply: "Understood, I'll arrange it right away." ”
Just as the Imperial Prime Minister was about to turn around and leave, Zuo Si suddenly stopped him from behind: "Wait! One more thing. Later, an army and enough officers were sent to take over the Saladush. ”
"Sarah? Isn't there a mess going on with the Sons of Baal? Are you sure you want to reclaim it at this time? ”
Shod Tarovin was slightly stunned.
"Don't worry, the Son of Baal has just been driven away by a horde of dragons and monsters. I don't think they'll stay there for long, just send someone to pick them up. ”
Zuo Si raised his head and gave the other party a meaningful smile.
How clever it was to be able to decide to follow this emperor with all his might when he first met Sean VII, he immediately understood the subtext and nodded without thinking: "Got it, I will immediately dispatch an army of 1,000 men and fifty officials in the name of the cabinet to march to Sara Governor." ”
I didn't ask for specific details, and I didn't want to know what was going on, but I didn't hesitate to obey.
He proved with practical actions why he was able to stand tall in front of the two successive emperors.
What monarch wouldn't love such a clever and capable subordinate who also knows how to put himself in the right place?
……
Just as Zuo Si was secretly manipulating the Son of Baal's Chicken Contest while continuing to vigorously develop his West Coast Empire, he didn't know that the first batch of elite players released had already given that world a little "Fourth Natural Calamity" shock.
To be exact, after these guys disbanded on the spot, they quickly poured into several surrounding countries and unceremoniously turned on the natural disaster mode.
In less than a week, the monsters that posed a huge threat to human villages and towns began to dwindle at an incredible rate, and in some places were slaughtered in a genocidal manner.
You must know that the players are also originally human, so when facing enemies who are also human in the last world, they did not choose to kill, but adopted a policy of treating prisoners preferentially as long as they surrendered.
The only people who were really consumed and slaughtered were the nobles and slave owners who were accustomed to being high up and not treating commoners as human beings.
But now, when it's time to face the non-human race, their most terrifying side finally comes to the fore.
That is, you can kill everything that can give you "experience points" and "loot" without any psychological burden and guilt.
Whether it is a goblin or ogre with intelligence, or a dog demon without intelligence, a petrified lizard, a demon wolf, a giant snake, a giant crocodile, a tree man, a giant insect, and a flying dragon, they all failed to escape in the end.
In particular, the Great Forest of Tob, near the border city of Yah Lantil, has been devastated.
Many local adventurers will inadvertently find a large number of corpses abandoned on the roadside, in the woods and in the grass when entering this area.
Some are even piled up into a small mountain and emit a pungent stench, including some high-level monsters who have established regional supremacy.
Some of them had their heads shattered by blunt objects, some had sharp arrows stuck in their eyes, and some had been burned black beyond recognition by unknown and powerful magic.
Some of the monsters and beasts had been stripped of their bounty parts or valuable skins, and the corpses looked extremely bloody and scary.
Such a strange phenomenon made the entire city of Yar Lantil, from the noble lords to the common people, feel deep fear.
Among them, the Adventurer's Guild even offered a high bounty, hoping that someone could investigate what was going on.
After all, they were really afraid that an invincible and powerful monster would suddenly appear in the forest, and when the time came, they would rush out and raze the entire city to the ground.
Don't think it's a joke!
After all, it has only been a few hundred years since the humans of this world were freed from enslavement by other races.
With the exception of the Slenian Nation, which has a large number of player legacies, several other human nations have no power to resist at all in the face of a real threat.
Therefore, whenever there is a big commotion or something incomprehensible, the nearby human nobles and commoners will tremble with fear.
You don't have to ask to know that it's all the player's handiwork.
But if you think that the only ones who are unlucky are monsters in the wild, you are very wrong.
How could they, who directly erased the entire aristocratic class from the physical level in the previous world, let go of the nobility of this world.
What's more, the nobles of the kingdom are notoriously selfish, greedy, corrupt, and do all kinds of evil, and there is no psychological burden at all when it comes to killing.
Less than five days after they came into this world, more than thirty notorious nobles were wiped out, and all family possessions and valuables were looted.
Even those protected by dozens, if not hundreds, of elite guards.
By the time they were found, the bodies on the ground were rotting and stinking.
Such a frantic attempt to challenge the authority of the ruling class naturally provoked the wrath of the entire kingdom.
The nobles even united for the first time and elected a spokesperson to be responsible for this matter, vowing to make the perpetrators pay for their blood debts.
But it was only the next day, and the bloody heads of the whole family of the elected spokesperson were placed next to the pillows of the nobles who shouted the most.
You don't need to ask to know how much of a person's mental impact is when you wake up early in the morning and see a bloody human head.
It is said that many people have suffered from mental illness as a result, and they have locked themselves in windowless houses every day, and they are afraid to go out for several days in a row.
Moment!
The country fell silent from top to bottom.
It was as if everyone had chosen to forget the previous clamour, even the king himself and his power-hungry princes.
After all, anyone who is not a fool understands that the fact that this group of vicious bandits can put their heads next to the pillows of some of the most powerful nobles in the kingdom means that they have the ability to cut off the heads of anyone, including the king, at any time.
In order not to provoke the other party to go to extremes and set off a bloody storm, the best way now is to treat it coldly, and then privately send a trustworthy person to investigate, find a way to contact and negotiate with it, and reach a series of agreements.
Looking at the frightened appearance of the originally imposing nobles, Lana, who is the pride of the royal family and is known as the golden princess, flashed a trace of disdain in her eyes that is not easy to detect.
She has always shown her beauty and wisdom, but she is actually extremely dark and crazy in her heart, and she doesn't care about the life or death of the royal family or even the entire country.
Contrary!
Lana hopes that the culprits behind this massacre will continue to do their best, preferably by killing all the nobles and their stupid brothers.
In this way, she will be crowned queen by virtue of her succession to the throne, and she will be able to do whatever she wants with the kingdom as her toy.
As for what kind of demands the other party would make, whether they would betray the interests of the kingdom, Her Royal Highness the princess didn't care at all.
After returning to her palace after the royal meeting, Lana immediately met with the members of the "Rose of the Rose" adventure team.
As soon as they met, she immediately couldn't wait to ask, "How, has the investigation resulted?" ”
As the captain, Lahagi nodded with a solemn expression: "Yes, there is a result." Based on our repeated investigations of the scene and the surrounding area, it is almost certain that this incident was carried out by a group of powerful assassins.
The number of people on the other side is not large, about three to five people.
With their incredible stealth skills, they were not noticed by anyone during the whole process, and the victim did not even see who the other party was before he died.
According to the wounds on the corpses, all attacks were launched from behind and killed with a single hit, even those of great strength warriors and knights.
I asked Tia and Tina, and they both said they wouldn't be able to do that, at least. ”
"Could it be that Eight Fingers did it?"
Lana asked with a deliberate look of nervousness.
