Chapter 9 Ripples

Floating islands 7-2 have become the focus of attention of the Sublime Alliance.

The news that Gordon and his main force had fallen to the Luoqi plane quickly spread throughout the continent like a fire that burned the plain. It's just that in the Holy Tree Dynasty and the Millennium Empire, Gordon is still just a small person, and the nobles are still talking about rare things like the explosion of dimensional portals. In the Sublime League, however, Akmund was an important member in every sense of the word, so people were much more careful when talking about the event.

The House of Akmund was now in such a state of emptiness that a single marquis could run into their realm and swing around in a big way. It's just that only people with bad brains will really do this, and normal people will only feel refreshed in their hearts. Not many people are willing to provoke the madmen of Akmund. Because there is often a thin line between a madman and a genius.

Gordon is a man who can create a zĂ o spectacle, at least in the past, before his greatsword, under the iron hooves of the dark moon and black flames, there is no enemy that cannot be crushed. Who would dare to say that the Luoqi plane can trap this volcano-like man forever?

Therefore, Floating Island 72 is like a piece of fat with the smell of a dragon, although it is placed in the center of the wolf pack, no wolf dares to take the first bite, and everyone hopes that someone else will test it.

However, there were still many more people on the floating island, most of whom were sent by the various side tribes of Akmund and entered the floating island for various reasons. But their true thoughts are clear.

Ever since Gordon's disappearance, the busiest people on the entire floating island have become stewards. In the entire floating island, there is not a single knight in charge, and several of Gordon's children are still young, whether Winnington, Daimei, or Vinika, fourteen or fifteen years old are not yet adults in the strict sense, and their strength is also very weak, and there are their mothers who have been holding each other back in the first place. With them alone, how could they deter those relatives who were like wolves and tigers?

Within a few days, the tired butler was full of withered faces, and seemed to be ten years old. He had already sent the news to the five knights guarding the Alternate Plane, and the continuous response he received was that they all wanted to stay on the Alternate Plane. As long as you hold the plane portals, these planes will still have the surname Akmund. Being able to be sent to garrison the plane shows that the five knights are all talents with strategic vision. They immediately saw the root of the problem. But in this way, it is bitter for the housekeeper.

In the aristocratic system, the butler is only a servant, and the disciples of the Akmund branch family have a little bit of contact with the nobles.

Therefore, there are more children of the side branch family, and the life of the steward is not easy, because more and more people are trying to dictate to him. And now the butler has an additional layer of trouble, which is to protect the huge wealth left by Gordon. Although no one has dared to break into the original room dedicated to Gordon, the semi-public places such as the library, the real yĂ n room, and the conference hall cannot stop the wandering clansmen, and the items are worn out much faster than usual.

The butler hurriedly walked in front of the castle, and suddenly a servant came running quickly, panting and said, "Butler, there is a magical communication from the dark blue! ”

The old butler was stunned, and followed the servant to the underground magic area of the castle. Guarded by Gordon's guards, it is one of the most central areas of the castle. The old butler entered the magic area, first stood still, and steadied his breath before pushing open the door of the hall engraved with an ultra-long-range teleportation array.

As soon as he entered the gate, the old butler saw a gray dwarf reading a heavy magic book in mid-air. It was a magical image, not a real person. The old butler had handled some of the day-to-day affairs with Deep Blue on behalf of Gordon, so he knew the gray dwarf and knew that he was Deep Blue's treasurer.

As soon as he saw the old butler, the gray dwarf jumped up and shouted, "You are so slow! This is ultra-long-range magic communication, and there is video transmission, and every second is burning gold coins!"

The old housekeeper smiled bitterly, he was just an ordinary person less than level ten, he was old again, and he was already wheezing all the way over, how could he be faster.

Before he could reply, Heijin couldn't wait, and said quickly: "Hurry up and get ready, I'll send the things over right away! These are for Richard's backup, and no one else can embezzle them! There are a lot of things, don't get confused." ”

The teleportation magic array slowly lit up, and then sent out bursts of magic fluctuations, and one after another packages, boxes, and even special sealing boxes were teleported over. The old butler hurriedly moved the items on the magic array to the side so that the items that would be teleported later could be delivered.

New items were constantly being teleported to the teleportation array, seemingly endlessly, and the old butler was tired and sweaty. The weight of each item is not too heavy, but it is also very exhausting to constantly bend over. By the time the teleportation was finally over, the items piled up next to the teleportation array were almost as tall as the old butler's people.

"Teleportation is complete! Finally, these are all things for Young Master Richard!" Black Gold said sharply, immediately cutting off the magic communication. The cost of ultra-long-distance teleportation and communication is extremely expensive, and the gray dwarves are not willing to waste even a second more.

Immediately, the butler began to carefully sort out the items that had been teleported. Fortunately, most of the items were packed so well that they looked like they would last a long time, otherwise no one would know when Richard would return. Each item is carefully accompanied by an explanation of the type, quantity, and storage method of the contents.

The more the old butler looked at it, the more horrified he became, he was also well-informed, and found that most of the sacrifices that were teleported this time were sacrifices that could be taken to the Eternal Dragon Palace! No matter the quality, the sacrifices were sacrifices, and they were not things that could be bought with gold coins, nor were they things that any middle-level nobleman could dream of. Holding it in the old butler's hands, every object was so hot that it burned his hands.

It took the old butler several hours to sort out all the offerings and register them on the list. The list was so long that he could barely breathe. He calmed his mind for a moment before calling in a few of Gordon's henchmen to carry the sacrifice to a special storehouse and seal it.

After doing this, the old butler walked to the upper floor of the castle with the list.

As they passed a staircase, a young girl suddenly came down and almost hit the old butler. She immediately stood still, and when she saw that it was the housekeeper, she immediately said in a panic, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

The butler remembered that the girl was Richard's chosen companion, and his name was Coco, so he smiled and made way for her. Coco immediately walked away slowly, looking a little flustered. And the list in the butler's arms was scorching his nerves like fire at the moment, and he was also in a trance, so the eyes that usually don't let go of any details didn't see anything strange about Coco at the moment.

He returned to his room, carefully tucked away the list, and then hurried away. There are so many things he needs to do on the whole floating island. Now Gordon's, no, Richard's wealth has increased a thousand times, and the responsibility of guarding them falls on the shoulders of the old butler, and such a heavy burden makes his waist begin to show an arc.

A piece of fresh meat, if not guarded by a ferocious hound, will always attract a vicious wolf. And now, the wolves that are hovering around have appeared.

What the old butler didn't expect was that the contents of that list would reach some people the next day, and in a few days, the contents of the list would spread throughout Faust's high society. Except for the single-digit giants, the rest of the people who saw the list couldn't be calm, especially Schumpeter and Joseph, who have almost exhausted their family resources recently. But no matter how the wealthy family declines, it still has the foundation, patience, and pays attention to planning before acting, but this is not the case with some branches of Akmund. Akmund was always impetuous, especially when he felt he had an opportunity and an excuse.

So within a few days, some of the uncontrollable Akmunds found all kinds of excuses to talk to the old butler, and changed their methods to find out about the 'sacrifice'. The old butler's attitude was extremely tough, and he pushed them all back, and the next day dismissed several servants suspected of betrayal, but he could not mobilize the personal guards left by Gordon. The loyalty of these guards seems to be fine on the surface, but in Gordon's absence, who can guarantee their loyalty in the face of huge interests?

As a result, the floating island calmed down on the surface. But everyone knows that this is just the beginning of a bigger wave. Now he just relied on Gordon's aftermath, and the longer Gordon went without news, the weaker the coercion he left behind.

Therefore, the people on the floating island began to be a little restless inexplicably, but for different reasons.

At nightfall, Coco quietly left the residence again, and under the cover of night, came to the grove next to the castle on the floating island. Hidden in the shadow of the castle, there was nothing but a sparse patch of trees, and behind it was the steep and straight rock on the side of the Akmund family's volcano, so that even the patrol posts did not come to this side, and it was quite secret.

A young man was already waiting in the woods, and when he saw Coco coming, he immediately greeted him and said excitedly, "You are here after all!"

A struggling look appeared on Coco's face, and he said hesitantly, "But I...... I shouldn't have come. I...... I was Richard's partner after all. ”

The young man was the reservist knight that Richard had met twice, but after a few months, his scent was noticeably stronger. He stepped forward, grabbed Coco's shoulders hard, and roared, "Coco! Look at me! I'm now an official Infantry Knight, and I've confirmed that I can carry three Builds! I'm still young and I can grow! It won't be long before I'll be able to carry the fourth Build, and then I'll be able to be a real Build!"
