Chapter 159: The Fladino Family
In the year 721 of the Phantom Beast Calendar, after being missing for half a year, the pride of the continental sacrifice, the right minister of the Caesar Empire, the chief court priest, the vice president of the Royal Academy of Magic, and the ninth-level ancient saint priest Duke Fladino, finally returned to Pompeii.
The Dragon Emperor did not send Chu Tian back to Pompeii directly, but sent him to Caesar's Western Front, the station of the Demon Scorpion Legion, and then Chu Tian returned to Yanjing under the personal escort of the Demon Scorpion Legion Leader Tonad.
After half a year, Pompeii has not changed much, it is still the first city in the East, and the people of Pompeii are still busy and proud. Today, however, Pompeii is filled with a festive atmosphere, because their Royal Highness Vladino has returned!
Lu Di III personally led the ministers of civil and military affairs out of the city for ten miles to greet Chu Tian, and after a grand and luxurious welcome ceremony, Chu Tian came to the long-lost Caesar Palace.
"Vladino, who are the people behind you?" In the palace, Ludy III began to interrogate Chu Tian's whereabouts for half a year.
After introducing everyone else, Chu Tian took Julia's hand, "Your Majesty, this is my other fiancée, Julia!"
"Fiancée!?" Ludy III stood up from his throne abruptly and stared at Chu Tian fiercely. "Vladino, what do you want Serena to do?"
"Praise the Goddess of Life!" Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled, waved his hand to signal Julia not to speak first, and then said, "Your Majesty, can I say a word to you alone?"
Although Chu Tian brought back another woman, Lu Di III still trusted Chu Tian very much, and after snorting coldly, he threw off his sleeves and dismissed the other ministers, and Julia and the others also left the hall under Chu Tian's instructions.
"Your Majesty is angry!" Seeing that Lu Di III was furious, Chu Tian smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty will always be loyal to Caesar and Your Majesty!"
"I know your loyalty!" Ludi III frowned, Selina was his biggest weight to control Chu Tian, but now that Chu Tian has another wife, then Serena's role must be reduced a lot. "Who is that Julia, and how did she become your fiancée!"
"Alas, Your Majesty, don't mention it!" Chu Tian cried with a sad face, and sighed: "Your Majesty was also forced by others!"
"Hmm, who forced you?" Ludy III was pleased with Chu Tian's reluctant look. The anger on his face eased a little.
"Tenth-Order Demonic Beast, Vampire Bat King Dracula!" Chu Tian slowly reported the name.
In an instant, Ludy III's anger vanished. "What you said is true?"
"Your Majesty doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty!" Chu Tian didn't want to reveal too much of his secret, but for the sake of Julia's future, he had to tell part of the truth: "Your Majesty, Julia is Dracula's granddaughter!"
"Then she's also a tenth-order demonic beast!" Suddenly, Ludy III's eyes brightened with excitement.
"Now Julia's bloodline has not awakened, but in the future, she will also become a tenth-order demonic beast!" Chu Tian said: "Julia doesn't know her identity yet, please don't tell him for the time being." ”
"Alas, forget it, you and Julia's affairs can be settled by yourself!" As long as he can add a tenth-order war pet to the empire, Lu Di III will not care how many wives Chu Tian takes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Tian's expression darkened, and he said bitterly: "Your Majesty, your subordinate's demon pet Apache has died in battle to save me!"
"What!?" Ludy III's anger that had just calmed down began to rise again, Julia, the future tenth-order demonic beast, had not yet awakened, but now the empire had lost a real ninth-order war pet, and this kind of loss was unacceptable to Ludy III.
"Aren't you a holy priest!?why didn't you save the Apache?" Ludy III said angrily.
Fuck, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to save it!Chu Tian scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was sad, "It was too late!" After speaking, Chu Tian raised his head and smiled slightly, "But Your Majesty, I am confident that Apache will be resurrected!"
"Can you resurrect him?" Lu Di III looked at Chu Tian with a smile and understood what this holy sacrifice wanted, "You are the right minister of the empire, and you have the right to mobilize anything that can resurrect Apache!"
The goal has been achieved, Chu Tian no longer pretends to be pitiful, and then reports the experience of the past half a year to Lu Di III, of course, many things have been modified and concealed. Such as Moffett, the Beast Emperor Gold Medal, and the honorific title of the Martial Warrior Killing God...... "Okay, you go and see Serena! She's tired of your affairs for half a year!"
Walking out of the palace, Chu Tian returned to his duke's mansion, and then, the young master Chu was stupid.
In Chu Tian's memory, his Duke's Palace was in the southern city of Pompeii, and the pharmaceutical factory only occupied an area of one street, but now, the luxurious manor in the past was gone, replaced by a solemn palace. And the entire three main streets in the center of the southern city are all occupied by the palace.
"Damn, uncle, is this your house?" Rusina was dumbfounded, and exclaimed, "This is much better than our broken wolf's den." ”
"This may be my family'......" Chu Tian nodded blankly, because on a gate that was dozens of meters wide, the sign of the Duke of Vladino's Palace hung high.
"Boss, you're finally back!" led by Barbossa, the servants of Chutian's family greeted him.
"Barbossa, how did my Duke's Mansion become like this!" Chu Tian asked with a grimace.
"Hehe, boss, this is no longer the Duke's Palace. Barbossa was amazed and said, "This is the base camp of the Vladino family!"
Seeing that Chu Tian was still at a loss, Barbossa explained: "Boss, you should go and ask Princess Serena, you have been here for half a year, thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess, our Vladino family is what it is today!"
"Where is Serena?" asked Chu Tian.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess and your other pets, all of whom are training family warriors in the barracks outside the city!" said Barbossa, laughing proudly. "But the princess is coming back soon. ”
"Praise the boss! It's incredible, boss, you actually have a family warrior!" Praise Chu Tian loudly, it was Bai Li who wrapped Chu Tian's face around him, and he said, "Could it be that Boss you are the heir of an ancient family?"
Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled, he had heard his sworn friend Reggie say a long time ago that there are many ancient families on the mainland, and these families are all powerful, and some of them are not inferior to the mainland powers, they have their own armies, their own wealth, and they affect the situation on the mainland in the dark. However, in the Caesar Empire, where royal power was concentrated, the only such ancient family was the Pampas.
The biggest difference between the family and the nobility is the force, although the nobles have personal guards, but after their own death, the personal guards are also dispersed, but the family samurai are different, they will be loyal to the patriarch for generations, until death. In fact, Caesar's nemesis, the Lacey Empire, was supported by several large families.
It's really a little embarrassing for Serena, Chu Tian was a little moved in his heart, in a country like Caesar, with Serena's identity, it is too difficult to form a family.
"Boss, the princess is back!" Barbossa shouted as he pointed to the sky.
In the sky, on the sturdy figure of NMD, stood Serena, who was dressed in a military uniform, but extremely charming.
Julia involuntarily took two steps back, but was pulled by Chu Tian. And Xiaobai also bit the corner of Julia's skirt and dragged her forward.
"Vladino, I'm sorry!" Serena's first words turned out to be an apology as soon as they met. "After Apache learned that you were in the west of the continent, he originally wanted to ask all the demon pets to go with him, but I was worried that there would be no powerful demonic beasts at home to take care of, so I let Apache go by himself, if it wasn't for my order, Apache might not have ......"
"Apache won't die!" Chu Tian gently hugged Selina into his arms and said with a smile: "Don't forget, your fiancé is an ancient holy sacrifice, and Apache will be resurrected!"
"I'm sure you can do it!" Serena nodded firmly, and then smiled kindly at Julia, "This is Julia's sister, hehe, it's so beautiful!" Under Serena's affinity, the two of them soon became homesick.
Praise the goddess of life! It's too good that they didn't fight! Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Woo!" Xiao Bai glanced at Chu Tian with a cold face, it was really too cheap for this villain.
"Vladino, let's go inside. There are some things that you need to take care of personally. After Serena dealt with the relationship with Julia, she turned to Chu Tian and said seriously: "In the past six months, a lot of changes have taken place in the family. ”
Chu Tian nodded, it could be seen from the Duke's Mansion that the family had really changed too much.
After settling the others, under the leadership of Serena, Chu Tian entered the tunnel from a secret dark room and came to a wide secret room under the central hall.
The secret room is large, with two night pearls illuminated overhead, all four walls are rows of bookshelves full of scrolls, and in the center of the secret room, there is only a set of surprisingly large tables and chairs.
"Vladino, this is the family's most secret place, and now only you, me, and Barbossa know about it...... Apache also knew about it before. Serena pointed to the bookshelf on the wall of the chamber and said, "These are the most important secrets of the family. ”
Looking at these things, Chu Tian felt that his head was big, and it seemed that the words of holding his wife and counting the gold coins were a little far away.
Taking out a dozen scrolls, Serena said: "This is the list of family warriors, in order not to make Your Majesty scruples, there are only 10,000 family warriors now, but among them are three thousand heavily armed archers trained by Page and Anna themselves. The combat power is comparable to that of a Caesar Iron Horse of a 10,000-strong regiment. As she spoke, Serena took out another scroll, "This is the letter of allegiance from Rednor, the leader of the Earth Dragon Mercenary Regiment, and now his mercenary group has completely surrendered to the family. You can also mobilize 30,000 mercenaries at any time......"
"There are still very few high-level powerhouses in the family now, so they can only be recruited later. After explaining the family's force, Serena made a gesture of invitation to Barbossa, "It's inconvenient for me to interfere with your medicines, they are all handled by Barbossa, let him say it specifically." ”
"Boss, there is nothing wrong with the pharmaceutical factory, it's just that the bezoar is sometimes not enough. As he spoke, Barbossa suddenly smiled, "Except for the supply of our medicines to the Emperor [***] team, the rest have been sold to all parts of the mainland, especially after Her Royal Highness the princess changed the name of the medicine, haha, what can be made from a few silver coins has been sold for tens of thousands of gold coins!"
"Is it the guardian of the Holy Sacrifice, and the blessing or something?" asked Chu Tian.
"Yes, the princess said that everyone who takes medicine should always remember your exploits, boss, so our medicine has been renamed. As a result, I didn't expect that when I heard that it was the boss and you prepared it yourself, those merchants were all willing to pay a high price to buy the goods, hehe, we can't count the gold coins now. ”
Could it be that this is the celebrity effect? Chu Tian scratched his head.
Now Chutian is very happy, Serena is completely from Chutian's point of view, taking care of the entire family for him, this kind of beautiful and capable wife is really hard to find.
"Well, Serena, you will be in charge of the affairs of the family in the future. "Anyway, Chu Tian didn't plan to betray the Caesar Empire, so handing over the family's chores to Serena really made him feel at ease. "Barbossa, the medicine factory is still up to you. By the way, why is there not enough bezoar?"
"Boss, there are a lot of bezoars, but Dio can't be busy alone!" Barbossa complained, "For the sake of secrecy, Dio is the only one who takes the bezoar, and now the kid is still busy outside the city." ”
"Call Dior back!" Chu Tian took off the space ring, shook it, and said with a smile: "Don't want the bezoar first, the boss has something better here......"
