Soak up the sun, eat seafood, and take a nap with the coconut trees and the sea breeze on the sandy beach. Life by the sea in Sanya is always so leisurely, stay here for a few days, and your fatigue and worries will disappear. The beautiful scenery and soothing pace of life will make you feel like you are in a beautiful sanctuary where you don't have to think about anything.

In fact, Xu Yue's current feeling is exactly like this. Lying on the deck chair on the beach by the sea, the parasol above his head shielded him from the strong sunlight, blowing the freehand sea breeze, drinking a sip of a cool drink, looking at the beautiful women who were only wearing bikinis on the beach, he let out a long breath, as if he wanted to exhale all the tiredness on his body.

I picked up the mobile phone on the round table next to me and looked at it, and it was almost time to eat at noon. He sat up from the beach lounger. Because he had swam in the sea for a while, he was now wearing only a pair of swimming trunks. Too lazy to change his clothes, he stepped on the slippers on the side of the recliner and came to the limited edition Lamborghini sports car that he had placed on the side of the road not far away, and just opened the door and sat in.

In the envious and jealous eyes of the men who had been taking pictures around the sports car and the fanatical eyes of the women, Xu Yue directly moved the car and drove into the distance. Just ten minutes later, a luxurious large seaside villa appeared in front of me. The 800-square-meter courtyard with exquisite views and a swimming pool that can be seen at a glance gives a sense of the luxury of this villa. The luxury villas with a tropical seaside style make people feel that just looking at it is an ultimate enjoyment.

When the car drove to the courtyard gate of the villa, the device on the gate of the courtyard automatically opened after recognizing it, parked the car in the garage, and Xu Yue walked towards the house wearing swimming trunks and slippers. The door of the villa opened, and a servant walked briskly, handed over a thin dressing gown, and said, "Sir, you are so easily sunburned by the sun's rays, I have told you many times. ”

Looking at the maid who spent a lot of money specially invited from the Philippines, Xu Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, Cruz, this bit of sunshine is nothing to me." Don't you see that the sun doesn't even tan my skin?"

Cruz looked helplessly at his skin, which hadn't darkened in the slightest after two months. He shook his head a little helplessly and said: "I really don't know how your skin grows, if you change someone else's words for such a long time of exposure, even if you don't get sunburned, you will at least be a lot darker, but you haven't changed at all." ”

Xu Yue smiled and thought in his heart: "If you can still get sunburned by casting a high-temperature protective enchantment on your body, then it will be too embarrassing for you to be a magician." ”

After simply draping his dressing gown over his body, he said as he walked to the villa, "Cruz, are lunches ready? I didn't eat anything this morning except for some drinks, and I'm dying of hunger now. ”

"The chef has already cooked the meal. As you instructed, this time instead of abalone, the lobster was replaced by a large lobster, and the top caviar you ordered has been delivered by air and you will be able to taste it in a moment. The maid said, following behind.

"Not bad. Although abalone is delicious, anyone will get tired of eating it for a week. Xu Yue walked into the restaurant and sat down at the table.

After a while, all kinds of exquisite meals were constantly served, both in terms of color and taste, which made people feel the secretion of saliva. He didn't eat like the rich people who came from the aristocracy, but began to eat the staple food as if he were eating it at home in his own home. The somewhat wolf-eating style of dining compared to the aristocratic dining made Cruz, who was waiting next to him, shake his head helplessly. Speaking of which, her employer is good at everything. It's just that he doesn't look like a rich upper-class person at all in his usual eating and dressing habits.

After eating the sea stuff for a long time, Xu Yue patted his belly that was a little bulging, drank a glass of cold coconut water and said, "Cruz, this time I have to leave for a while, and the villa will be entrusted to you." I have been very satisfied with your work for more than a year, so your salary has increased by 30%. I hope that all of them can continue to be maintained. ”

The maid Cruz smiled as she cleaned up the table, "Thank you for your generosity, I will try my best to take care of this place." But how long are you going to be away this time, and do you need me to prepare anything here for you to come back?"

"No, nothing needs to change, it's the same. I'll be away for about three months this time. If you don't come back by then, I'll keep you informed. Xu Yue wiped her mouth and stood up and said.

"A qiē will be done according to your will. Cruz said with a slight bow.

After nodding with satisfaction, Xu Yue returned to his room alone. After locking the door from the inside, he lay down on the large plush bed in his room, and took out a magic book from the storage ring he was carrying.

More than two years have passed since the original war between the Trollies of Talumia's Big 6 Trolls and Black Rock City, and the final result of that war ended with the defeat of the Troll King Syrul and the three ninth-level powerhouses of the Shia Kingdom. The aftermath of the battle between the two sides not only destroyed the dungeon under the Nightsong Forest, but also turned the hundreds of thousands of trolls and the few humans who were not rescued under the dungeon into ashes.

The mortally wounded Serul gathered the trolls who had retreated from Black Rock City and the trolls who were still besieging the other two human cities, and retreated across the Nightsong Forest towards the barren plateau to the north. Not only is the land barren. Even vegetation and wild beasts are very scarce, except for some exiled prisoners and goblin ogres and other inferior races, it can be said that there are almost no people to be seen.

But the trolls had to do so, after Serul was seriously injured. The Kingdom of Xia directly mobilized heavy troops to pursue the trolls, and only stopped after the trolls were completely driven out of their own country's territory. It's not that they don't continue the pursuit, it's that their old rivals, the Kingdom of Gruni, have struck.

At the junction of the two countries, the Kingdom of Gruni mobilized fifteen corps in its west, with 700,000 people to attack the eastern front of the Kingdom of Chia, which made the Kingdom of Chia have to urgently adjust its strategy against the trolls and transfer most of the army pursuing the trolls back to the east for defense. And so the remaining trolls finally escaped.

For this reason, the Kingdom of Chia directly accused the Kingdom of Gruni of betraying the capital of the human race, colluding with the trolls, and betraying the interests of the entire human race. However, the Kingdom of Gruni firmly denied this, and only said that his actions only involved a unilateral grudge with the Kingdom of Chia. The two sides quarreled for a while, and in the end the war did not start, and the matter of trolls was settled. That's sometimes the way things happen between countries. It's always spent in constant striking.

Sailul, a legendary powerhouse, had lost his strength very much because he had injured his origin in the previous battle, and even according to the news from the top of the Xia Kingdom, the other party might not even be able to maintain the strength of the legendary level and fell to the ninth level. Many people were skeptical of this news, after all, it was a bit unimaginable for three ninth-level powerhouses to force a legendary powerhouse to such a point. However, seeing that Syrul did not appear in the most critical situation of the troll clan, many people believed the news.

Although the troll's plot was foiled this time, the news of the resurrection of Syrul, the most brilliant creator of the ancient troll empire Alekara, still caused an uproar among the trolls on the Great 6 of Talumia. The trolls who resurrected Syrul and attacked the Kingdom of Chia before were only dozens of tribes large and small within the Kingdom of Eastern Daluxia. And when the news of Syrul spread. Troll tribes in many places have begun to secretly move towards the barren highlands, intending to follow Syrul, the legendary king of trolls, to re-establish their own kingdom and restore the glory of the ancient Aleka Empire.

The remaining trolls were indifferent to the news, and even many of the troll tribes that were close to the Badlands had migrated farther away. The entire Big 6 troll clan is divided into three types, one is to chase Serur and rebuild Aleka's brilliance. One is to see Syrul as a rebel. A demon who betrayed the interests of the trolls, the culprit of the fall of the Aleka Empire. It seems to be due to the fact that Syrul has historically betrayed the beliefs of the trolls to evil gods. The last one is that when Sailur doesn't exist at all, the trolls on this side feel that after tens of thousands of years, the current troll tribe has little connection with the ancient Aleka Empire. Many of the troll tribes have their own unique habits, so they don't approve of any changes.

In general, the first group accounts for 40% of the number of troll tribes, while the latter two attitudes account for 30% of the trolls each. In this regard, all the races on the Talumia 6, including the seven human nations, have their own opinions. But because Sailur, a legendary powerhouse, is almost useless, and there is no support from the powerful heritage of the ancient Aleka Empire. No one thought that the trolls could pose any real threat, so most of the time the debate about trolls was spent in a state of bickering.

Regardless of the reaction of the forces of the Great 6 of Talumia, the province of Calando of the Kingdom of Chia could be regarded as a heavy blow in that battle. About 200,000 people in Red Maple City were sacrificed in blood, and the number of soldiers who died in the four cities in the war was even more than that, which can be said to have reduced the army of the Kingdom of Xia by almost half at once. Although it can't reach the broken Cheng dù, it is still a big loss for a kingdom like the Kingdom of Xia, which has been established for less than a hundred years and has not had a very strong foundation.

On the contrary, Xu Yue became the only winner in this war. It's just that few people know about it. After the war, because Xu Yuexian troll's conspiracy and reported it, and he used positioning gems to mark the location of the dungeon, he made a great contribution to weakening his strength before Sailur got out of trouble. Therefore, the Kingdom of Sia also gave him a few choices very generously.

The first option was to change his title of honorary viscount to that of a real viscount, a fief in a city in the western part of the kingdom of Chia. Really speaking, this city is not too small, and it is already close to catching up with a medium-sized city in the Kingdom of Xia. However, because it is located in the area on the border with the orc kingdom. So there is a war in the market. Although the surrounding minerals and other materials are not poor, and the taxes are okay, Xu Yue rejected this choice for the first time.

Because that city was often at war with the orc kingdom, there were many garrisons there. The military's top brass had been in de facto control of the city for years. And because of military reasons, many aspects of the city are actually controlled by the army, even if he really gets there, he can only be a lord who doesn't do anything, and the actual control of the territory is almost not in his hands except for taxes, and he really doesn't see the taxes of a border city anymore, and he doesn't sell pure containers as much.

The second option is to upgrade his title of honorary viscount by two levels to the rank of honorary marquis. Don't look at the honorary title only to enjoy some special rights and not the actual fief title, but anything that reaches a high level cannot be peeped at.

The knighthood of the Kingdom of Chia has always been very strict. If honorary titles below the viscount are still given from time to time, then the counts and marquis above rarely appear. Once the earl title is reached, even if it is an honorary title without an actual fief, if necessary, the soldiers and personnel of the actual title fief that are two levels lower than oneself can be temporarily transferred. Even at a certain level, if a baron with real power two levels lower than the Earl of Honor offends the Earl of Honor, the Earl of Honor can even punish the Baron in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom. And the various rights enjoyed by other parties made a viscount with real power feel blushing.

Once Xu Yue chooses to be promoted to the honorary title, then he can immediately become the only honorary marquis of the empire for nearly thirty years. In terms of real power, he is even almost comparable to a real viscount whose strength and fief are relatively strong, and on the surface, he is even above the real viscount. If there is a real viscount who dares to offend him to his face, then as long as he has evidence, he can even get the upper echelons of the empire to punish this real viscount. This is why the honorary title of the Kingdom of Sia is so difficult to obtain.

As for the actual title above the earl, it has not been given to anyone since the Kingdom of Xia. The existing nobles above the earl level are basically the founding kings who followed the kingdom of Chia, and won titles and fiefs for their real merits when they participated in the founding war. Only two or three nobles who were crowned counts were converted from honorary counts after the founding war. However, these countdom nobles were able to carve out and hold their territories almost through the continuous efforts of several generations, and most of them were not far behind those of the nobles who were in the founding war. After all, if you want to rely on your own power to open up new territories and run them well, the manpower and material resources you pay are too great.

The Kingdom of Sia also gave a choice of reward items and reward money, but those were directly ignored by Xu Yue. For him, who can sell pure containers in large quantities without cost, he can easily obtain those money and items, and what he lacks most now is power. With his own power, then he can safely and boldly sell pure containers in large quantities. There is no need to worry about being targeted directly by other forces. Because he is confident that he will be able to expand his power in a short period of time to the point where he is not afraid of the prying eyes of others.

I barely thought about it, and I didn't really have any other choice. He directly chose to upgrade his honorary title by two levels. So he founded the Kingdom of Chia, the only nobleman who had received the title of marquis for nearly thirty years. Purely in terms of identity, his status is even higher than that of Ethan, the lord of Black Rock City, only lower than the royal family of the empire and the nobles of a limited number of dukedoms.

Another reason why he chose this way was that when an honorary marquis opened up his own fief, not only could he develop a much larger area as his own fief, but it could even reach the size of half a province. Moreover, the number of armies that can be formed at the time of the development is much larger than that of an honorary marquis. It is possible to raise an army of 50,000 to expand the territory, and the army can be expanded to 100,000 after the actual occupation of the territory. This alone allows him to build up his strength boldly with confidence.

Although the materials and money for forming an army and maintaining it had to be paid for by himself, and that would be an astronomical amount, Xu Yue was still very happy. Private forces and armed forces can no more than 2,000 men at most, and they are subject to strict restrictions. At this point, it was not a problem for him at all. Even if there is not so much money to raise all 50,000 troops for a while, as long as an army of tens of thousands of people can be formed, then few forces will dare to blatantly attack his idea.

The soaring promotion of the title made Xu Yue's reputation spread quickly among the aristocratic circles of the Xia Kingdom. All the nobles were secretly watching the new nobles who had risen like a comet. But so far, the nobles are still in a wait-and-see state of view of him, and have not really fully accepted him. This is because he has risen too fast, lacks a background and is only a second-level magician himself, and is not taken seriously by those old nobles in terms of power or strength. Only after he proved his strength. will be truly accepted by these nobles.

Xu Yue didn't pay attention to the wait-and-see of the aristocracy, the main purpose of obtaining this title was just that he wanted to expand his strength. And with strength, the aristocratic class will naturally accept him, and there is no contradiction between the two. The reason why he was so confident to show his strength was not only because he had a business in pure containers that could bring him a lot of money, but also because of the unimaginable benefits he had brought to him by risking his life to rob the trolls' magic material warehouses.

Just like he told Ivor after robbing the troll's warehouse of magical materials, they were rich. And it's a big deal. Although the trolls were destined to be poor because of the natives of the forest, the trolls gathered at the beginning were only part of the 6 troll tribes of Dongda. However, the collection of such a large number of tribal troll tribes has been gathered, and the trolls themselves are relatively easy to collect magical materials because they live in the forest. Therefore, Xu Yue, who had emptied most of the magic material warehouse and seized the most advanced part of the material, was stunned by the huge income after briefly counting the harvest with Aiwo.

Although the price of a pure container is very high, as a container, its value can never be compared to what it contains. The value of magic materials of the same level is at least dozens of times that of containers of the same level, and it is not uncommon for the high ones to be even hundreds of times the price of pure containers.

After a simple categorization. Xu Yue even had to go to the Magic Guild to rent books such as the Basic Magic Materials Encyclopedia to compare them one by one, and in the end, the approximate value of the magic materials counted reached an astonishing 50 million gold coins.

The purchasing power of gold coins in Talumia is not low, but the population base of Talumia is dozens of times wider than the total area of the earth, and the number of gold coins circulating in its society is an extremely exaggerated figure. Therefore, the price of some high-end treasured items on the Big 6 requires a staggering number of gold coins, and magic materials and equipment belong to this class.

For the Talumia Big 6, a level 1 to 3 magic equipment is almost equivalent to the value of a heavy weapon such as an Earth missile. Levels 4 to 6 of magical equipment are like the precious Cheng dù of Earth's advanced fighter jets. And magic items above level 7 are already equivalent to the value of things such as nuclear weapons and aircraft carriers on the earth, and even only higher than the value of these things, not lower than the value of these things.

But even in Talumia, the value of 50 million gold coins is a figure that can make any big force blush. Maybe if you empty all the reserves of Black Rock City, which is one of the top four cities in a province, that's about the same number. This is far beyond Xu Yue's previous expectations, in his previous estimate, these materials can have 10 million to burn high incense.

After discussing with Aivo for a long time. They decided to sell most of these magical materials through various channels6. This is partly due to their lack of funds, but also because most of the magical materials have a shelf life, even if they are stored in pure containers. If you don't use it after a certain period of time, even if you use it in a pure container, the magic material will become useless.

The two decided to sell the materials worth about 40 million gold coins to the 'Goblin Chamber of Commerce', the Magic Guild, and the Elves. For the many goblin chambers of commerce that are very active in business, even such a large amount of transactions can only be regarded as a business of decent scale, and it is a little less than those transactions with state-level powers.

And because of the deep pockets of the Magic Guild, as well as its loose organization and internal protection measures for magicians, Xu Yue does not have to worry about being targeted by the Guild. The amount of money in this deal is indeed huge. But for the Magic Guild, it's really nothing. As for whether the Magic Guild would guess the source of these magic materials, Xu Yue was not worried at all. These things were taken from the trolls by his own city, and they don't belong to any human forces, so they won't get into any trouble.

As for the elves, they are also big customers who are not bad for money, although the elves also live in the forest, so there is no shortage of plant-based magic materials. However, due to its philosophy of protecting forests, some mineral magic materials are scarce. Trolls, on the other hand, don't mind destroying the number of deep forests and mining some magic minerals.

Xu Yue completely handed over the matter of the material to Aiwo, and with the guarantee of the contract, the two of them were business partners who could completely trust each other. Because the elves are at war with the orcs. So the price is extraordinarily generous. All the materials that were taken out for sale were sold for more than 45 million, and Xu Yue gave more than 10 million of them to Aiwo. This is because when he got the 'Fountain of Life' that can prolong his life from the elves before, Xu Yue alone owned three-quarters of it, and then the branches of the Tree of Life also belonged to Xu Yue.

The brothers also have to settle accounts, although there are not many pure containers that are exchanged for the 'Fountain of Life' from the elves and converted into gold coins, but it is stuck in the moment when the elves desperately need the pure containers. Actually, if you measure the value of the 'Fountain of Life' and the branches of the Tree of Life in gold alone. It's hard to gauge its true value because money alone can't buy it. Coupled with the commission from Aiwo who sells materials through his own channels, 10 million gold coins is really not too much, and here Xu Yue also considered the relationship between the two partners.

After having a huge amount of 35 million gold coins, Xu Yue did not rush to form an army to open up his territory, but lurked and waited with Aiwo's special exhibitors. On the one hand, it secretly expands the number and size of the escort team. Not only did they continue to buy slaves above the third rank to fill the guard, but they also spent a lot of money to buy a large number of strong people of the sixth rank and various professions to serve as the leaders of the guard.

However, among the slaves purchased later, except for a few high-level sixth-level accidents, none of them enjoyed the treatment of being released as slaves after ten years. Only the sixth-level master and the two hundred members of the former Guardian were able to enjoy various benefits while regaining their status as freedmen when the time limit expired. However, the later team members can also enjoy various benefits and benefit their families, which makes them have enough motivation to protect the interests of Xu Yue and Aiwo.

And correspondingly. A large amount of gold coins are also constantly invested in the construction of the escort team, if Xu Yue hadn't robbed the troll's warehouse, the exhibition of the escort team would have been delayed for at least four or five years, instead of becoming a terrifying team with a strong cohesion of about 10,000 people in just two years like now.

Xu Yue has not been idle in the past two years, he used all the time to frantically study all kinds of magic knowledge that was missing before, and studied day and night for two years. He had finally made up for what he had been missing. Now he is no longer the humanoid turret that could only throw fireballs two years ago, both in terms of knowledge and the spells he knows. And in the past two years, even if he didn't deliberately meditate, his spiritual power had reached the peak of the second level, and he could be promoted to the level of a third-level mage at any time.

After feeling that he was about to be unable to suppress the breakthrough of his spiritual power, Xu Yue finally let go of everything and returned to the earth to give himself a big vacation. He spent two whole months relaxing and recuperating. The psychological pressure and tension brought about by two years of intense study have been completely released and restored.

On the other side of the earth, it relies on the constant exchange of gold and the use of foreign gold mines for whitewashing. His assets have also grown by leaps and bounds. With more than a billion dollars, he can finally shrink back when he doesn't have to spend money anymore. Because he didn't want to attract too much attention, he spent almost all his money on enjoying life, and didn't run any large enterprises and companies. Luxury sports cars, large villas, extravagant eating and drinking, and much more. Although he spent a lot of money on these aspects, only those close to him knew a thing or two, and outsiders did not know the exact amount of his exact whereabouts and assets.

Since I was a child, I have dreamed of living by the sea where the water is crystal clear. So he specially bought a luxurious villa here in Sanya, and used to come here to rest for a day or two when he was too tired to learn magic, like this time, he took a two-month break.

Today, he feels like he's in the best shape he can be. So he decided to return to Talumia to advance his magic level, and the territory development plan he had planned for more than two years was about to be officially implemented.

In the afternoon, after eating today's dinner in the villa, Xu Yue drove directly out of the villa. After coming to a relatively remote community, he entered the villa he bought before as a foothold, and after coming to the special underground secret room, he directly opened the boundary gate and walked in.
