Chapter 300: Asla

At the beginning of the year 410 of the Ankylosaurus calendar, the kingdom of Asla.

This is a rich country, located in the central north of the continent, the comprehensive strength is the most of the countries, about five hundred years ago, the third human-demon war broke out, the demon god Laplace gathered the demons on the demon continent, united the beasts and the sea tribe to attack, except for the Asra Kingdom and the holy country of Miris, all the human countries were destroyed.

In the end, the Seven Heroes crusaded against the Demon God and sealed Laplace at the expense of the four people, and the Demon Peace faction who cooperated with the human race in the war also achieved a corresponding reward, and the blockade of the Demon Continent was lifted, and the superficial discrimination was forbidden.

In short, Asra has a strong historical and material foundation, and the Red Dragon Mountains have created a superior geographical environment, and although there have been no major wars for a long time, there are still a considerable number of troops in the territory, and even if the nobles indulge in indulgence, they are far from causing unrest.

Late at night, the royal capital of Ars, the Palace of Silver.

No sooner had the noise of the banquet hall subsided, and the heads of the four noble families returned to the castle surrounded by servants and guards, the crackling of firewood in the fireplace and the smell of spices lingered throughout the hall, and the maids gathered up the scraps and utensils, and the Minister of the Interior had already left in the middle of the banquet, leaving only one chamberlain to take care of the aftermath.

Today is the fourteenth birthday of Shariyah Anemoy Asra, the direct descendant of the previous king and the younger brother of the current king of Asra, and the specifications of this coming-of-age feast are up to royal standards, but the real point is that the king was not in attendance.

Normally, five, ten, and fifteen years old are important celebrations for the Asra people, but the fact that the Home Secretary threw a coming-of-age feast when Shaliya was fourteen was a major mistake, but it was clear enough as a signal.

Shariyah was not favored by King Asra like the other princes, and this would be a consensus among the nobles.

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, and what caught his sight was the brilliant lights, he sat in the second seat of the long table in the middle, on the fireplace opposite, five oil paintings were hanging, the statue of the first king and the king added more than ten years ago was on the right side, two of the three heroes were in the other row, and Pergius, the king of the dragons, was in the center, and the reason why this hero could get such an honor was very simple, because he was most likely still alive.

Framed by a window adorned with fine gems, a castle in the sky looms in the sky, and for centuries people have apparently become accustomed to the existence of this miraculous structure, which is believed to be the residence of the Ankylosaurus King, but it is also rumored to be a cemetery, and the exact results have not been confirmed given that Pergius was in hiding after the war.

The basic information containing humanistic knowledge echoed in his mind, and Jiang Yuan felt his own projection of consciousness.

The strength of his physique was beyond that of ordinary people, but in his opinion, it was so weak that it was missed, and his body at the age of fourteen had not yet grown up, and after receiving complicated schoolwork in language, mathematics, etiquette, etc., the swordsman training had only begun soon.

Sword God Flow, a lower-level swordsman.

"Uncle, it's time for me to take my leave."

On the main seat, the blonde girl got up, pinched the corners of her gorgeous clothes and saluted, her face was delicate to the point of brilliance, Ariel Animoy Asra, she was the second princess and the third in line to the throne, and she attended the banquet on behalf of King Asra, because she was young, she had just turned seven years old, she was not much taller than the table, but she was very qualified in speech and demeanor.

Two knights stepped forward and escorted her away, including the young man Luke, the second son of the lord of Notos, one of the four superior nobles.

Jiang Yuan looked around the hall, the nobles of the court were leaving in an orderly manner according to their identities at this time, Ariel obviously received a lot of attention other than him, there is a kind of person in this world who has an innate special ability, the positive is called the Divine Son, the negative is called the Curse, and the second princess is the natural charismatic Divine Son.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Jiang Yuan, he pays attention to his surroundings because he notices something interesting.

The guests left, the maids cleaned the hall, the more sturdy male servants moved the tables and chairs, four of them came over, saluted respectfully and prepared to clean up the long table, tomorrow was a big ball, and the reason why the nobles of Asra gathered every day of the year was almost the same.

Blood spilled, and a manservant who carried the edge of the long table with both hands was instantly dead, and the other three simultaneously drew their short swords smeared with dark green liquid and slammed into their targets.

The sound of screaming and shouting guards sounded, Jiang Yuan reached out to hold the table knife on the table, and when he turned back, his foot hooked the chair and slammed forward, and the closest assassin was disturbed by the sword style, and the hand holding the sword smashed into the chair, and a crack appeared.

When Jiang Yuan landed, his body was delicately placed in a forward posture, as the muscles tensed, the force instantly exploded in a regular manner, and after one step, the table knife penetrated the crack of the chair and stabbed straight into the enemy's eyeballs.

The blades intersected, and the second assassin's face was dazed, as if an unknown force was pushing his short sword down, and the illusory air flow on the sword body was useless.

Jiang Yuan cut the opponent's wrist, turned around and threw it, and the short sword stabbed out, so that the last assassin was forced to stop, this blow was fierce, but because of the strength of the body, the speed was not fast, and it was already the limit to cut the cheek, and it was impossible to directly kill the superior swordsman, but the poison on it was very effective.

At this moment, the second assassin's short sword fell from his hand, Jiang Yuan raised his leg and kicked sideways, and his foot hit the rotating hilt, and the short sword accelerated sharply, piercing into the neck of the original sword wielder in the direction of power.

Seconds passed, three elite assassins of the rank of superior swordsman were killed, and the last one lost consciousness as the toxin eroded his brain, the screams gradually faded away, and the shouting of the captain of the guard could be heard faintly from a distance.

Jiang Yuan examined the wrist injury, the activity beyond the body's capacity obviously caused a little inconvenience, and before a certain objective limit, how much strength he could exert depends on the price he was willing to pay.

It's a world of magic and vindictiveness.

Inferior, Intermediate, Superior.

Holy level, king level.

Emperor-level, god-level.

Among them, the classification of the third stage is relatively chaotic, most of them are strong people who can only appear after history, they do not point to the realm, and it is difficult to measure, the emperor level can take away the title of the other party if he succeeds in challenging the god level, and the founder and master of the big school automatically inherit the god level title.

In a way, the king level is the limit of normality, and those two layers are used to describe the guy who exceeds common sense.

"His Highness Shaliye."

The captain of the guard hurriedly brought people over, and behind him was a team of twelve-a-side fully armored knights, and only high-level swordsmen could master the fighting spirit, even if these carefully selected talents could hardly reach that point in large numbers.

"Write down the names of the nobles who are left in the hall now." Jiang Yuan said calmly, the other party's position is his own earl's personal guard, the senior swordsman selected after the training of the Knight Academy-Kulun, of course, the title is the court earl, and he has no real power.

"Ah...... Got it. Cullen replied.

There was an assassination in the Silver Palace, the forbidden army mobilized to surround the hall, the royal blood knights gathered, and the head of the knights was ordered to personally investigate the incident.

The minister of the salute sent a royal decree, and Jiang Yuan left the Silver Palace under the protection of the guards and returned to his mansion in the inner city.

The night view of the royal capital of Yars is quite splendid, it is the largest city in the world, the majestic royal city of the Silver Palace towering over the hills, the fortress-like mansions that surround it, and the walls that wrap these around like fortresses, and the streets that seem to stretch endlessly.

The arena and the training ground of the Knights are the size of a town, the shrines of the Order of St. Miris, the land bridges are everywhere, there are many opera houses, there are also extravagant flower streets, the headquarters of major chambers of commerce, and the dojos of the three major swordsmanship factions.

The outermost gate is a magnificent gate to commemorate the victory of the Third War of Man and Demon.

Jiang Yuan returned to the mansion, and before he entered the door, he received a message from the housekeeper.

The second princess, Ariel, has been assassinated, and one of the two guardian knights has died.

"Your Excellency......," said the chamberlain, embarrassed.

"Everyone knows that I don't have the background to carry out the assassination, and I lack the necessary motives, so let's do things like cooperate with the investigation, Cullen, give him the list, there are nobles who saw me not present, and the number is estimated to be enough."

"Yes."

Cullen took one out of his armor guard and handed it over, and the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, at least he could handle his responsibilities.

After entering the mansion, Jiang Yuan raised his hand to refuse the approach of the maid, and took off the monster fleece coat outside, Shaliye is the youngest son of the first king, and he was the title of duke before King Arras succeeded to the throne, the situation changed, and the title was changed to the court earl according to the custom, and he also served as one of the twenty-four warehouse officials, which was a fictitious position that could not be managed in the house, to be precise, there was no corresponding office location.

There are many meaningless official positions in the center of Asra, which are used to house the increasing number of royal blood and noble relatives over time, and if all goes well, the heirs of Shariya will inherit this position and receive a salary throughout the year.

Jiang Yuan walked into the study, and there were many general books on the bookshelf behind him, which could help him sort out the current situation.

First of all, Xia Mi lost it, which is not important, after all, he didn't expect the other party to help much, the dragon king's fighting instinct accumulated for a long time is not weak, and it is not a big problem under normal circumstances, but with that guy's performance, it is not uncommon to die.

The second is what happened tonight, the main target of this assassination should be Alice, she is just a target to create a flaw, although the first assassination made the forbidden army and the knights converge, but the real vigilance will inevitably decrease, and the autosuggestion that the incident has passed will make people relax after an overreaction.

As far as he knew, a similar incident had occurred three years earlier, the same crisis, in which a certain number of sword-wielding maids had died, and some had been fired from their jobs due to injuries and used as bait to drive them away from the royal city of Silver, including Lilia, later a member of the Rudius family.

In the end, neither Asra nor the world is too peaceful.

"War, endless war."

Jiang Yuan determined the overall goal of this trip, not only for the starlight, but also to condense that trace of extremely rare mysteries and become the embodiment and symbol of war, a concept that is more suitable for the advancement of the power of the future force.

On the table, a book wrapped in the skin of a monster was placed in front of him, this book recorded the basic knowledge of magic, and belonged to the common textbook among the nobles.

There are three types of magic, attack magic, healing magic, and summoning magic.

Magic requires magic from two sources: self and the outside world, the latter of which can be extracted from items that contain magical power.

At the same time, there are also two ways to perform magic tricks, namely chanting and magic array.

It is worth mentioning that everything in the world of unemployed people contains magical power, including the corpses on the side of the road, and the difference is only in how much.

Theoretically, anyone can become a magician, but in practice, this requires a certain level of talent.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand flat and recited the eulogy of the intermediate fire magic, the Fireball Technique.

As he adapted to and mastered the energy in his body, a small orange-red fireball appeared in his palm.

The fireball dispersed, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and recalled the flow and route of the magic power, and in the next second, the fireball rekindled, but this time he did not sing a eulogy.

The so-called chanting magic is a high-level technique, which can be achieved by recording the flow of magic in its entirety and forming a deep physical instinct, without having to echo the energy with eulogies, and being proficient to the level of handy.

"It's the same as Muji ninjutsu."

Jiang Yuan closed the book, and the simplest chanting also took five seconds, so in today's world, the swordsman group has a clear advantage over the magician group.

In addition, the tool textbook mentions that an individual's magic is predestined at birth, which is somewhat false, to be precise, continuous high-intensity training before the age of ten will promote the increase of the upper limit of mana, but given the overwhelming existence of swordsmen, it is generally believed that the cost of cultivating after the body grows will be much smaller.

"We need to find a way to grow our magic."

……

The next day, the Silver Palace, the Royal Garden, the Gazebo.

"Are you sure you want to do that?"

The speaker was a man over half a hundred years old.

King Asra, the master of the world's most powerful nation.

At this time, two plump and beautiful women sat on his lap, accompanied by the movement of their palms, and the untimely voice sounded in the garden of the palace, and the surrounding guardian knights and internal affairs officers did not feel anything wrong with this, there has been no full-scale war for hundreds of years, and the nobles of Asra are going farther and farther on the road of perversion, and today His Majesty even intends to restrain himself, after all, the younger brother in front of him was assassinated only yesterday.

"The royal capital is like a whirlpool, the minister has not liked strife since he was a child, and it is a blessing to be able to block some of the disasters for His Royal Highness Ariel, only to spend the rest of the year in a remote place, as for Cullen, he has a broader future, and the minister has no good impression of martial arts." Jiang Yuan said seriously, although Cullen did not show a flaw in the note, the possibility of surveillance is still not low.

The force in King Asla's hand unconsciously increased, and the color of thought on his face became stronger.

"Don't even want troops, it seems that this assassination is a bit excessive." King Asra said, "It is true that according to the ancestral tradition, you do have the choice of becoming a pioneer noble, but for four hundred years, the fiefs have been divided among the nobles, and there are not many wars, and there is no room for the existence of the pioneer nobles. ”

"Nachen hopes to study abroad in the Three Kingdoms of Magic." Jiang Yuan said.

"How could I possibly let you pass." King Asra said with a smile, this kind of result that will cause trouble in the next generation of succession competition should be avoided from the beginning, Shaliye is the direct line of the first generation, and the current succession is ranked twelfth, but this is only a possibility, leaving the border represents a complete abandonment of cultivating party henchmen, the original intention is commendable.

The garden fell silent, except for the voices of two beautiful women, who slipped from King Asra's thighs for a while, their graceful bodies looking soft and boneless, and trembling slightly.

"You've already had a coming-of-age ceremony."

"Fourteen doesn't count."

"If you say it doesn't count, it doesn't count?"

Jiang Yuan's face was expressionless, and he had already calculated some bloody thoughts in his heart.

"Someone, go get the Shadow Stone."

A guardian knight left, and soon returned with a box made of precious wood, which, when opened, contained a rectangular block of transparent stone, each with its own information.

"The school-age women of the middle-level nobles in the kingdom are all here, I haven't seen it, you can choose it yourself, don't think about the nobles, Asra doesn't need heroes, if it doesn't work, the lower-level nobles, give me an answer before tomorrow."

King Asra wanted to pick up the woman on the ground, tried it, and after failing to get up and leave with a cold expression, the woman suddenly became terrified, and rolled behind His Majesty regardless of her manners, allowing her body to press over the stone path, and she did not dare to slow down the grass clippings.

"Hah, you guy."

King Asra laughed heartily, and the minister next to him bowed and asked, "Your Majesty." ”

"Dispose of it."

"Understood."

In an instant, the other woman in the pavilion turned pale, and she quickly turned over and prepared to imitate, but the guardian knight did not slack off and carried her away, and the frightened cry for mercy was heard.

Jiang Yuan ignored everything around him, carefully searching for middle-level nobles suitable for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest, but these nobles usually had many branches, and it was expected that it would take a long time.

"Give me the ones of the lower nobles, too."

"Yes." The Internal Affairs Officer responded.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yuan got the photo stone and information that recorded the lower-level nobles, leaving the king is the first priority, the war faction has no soil to survive here at all, and the left and right are nothing more than an accident, it depends on who is unlucky.

"Huh?"

Jiang Yuan's hand moved, the baron, Shamis Tumiit, who had just replaced her deceased grandfather as the successor lord a while ago, was fourteen years old.

The Tumiit Territory is located in the northeastern corner of the kingdom, on the east side of the Fitoya Territory, near the Red Dragon Mountains.

The Red Dragon Mountains are inhabited by strong men - hordes of red dragons, they will not allow any creature to cross the mountains, even wild dogs will be killed, but due to the agreement between the Ankylosaurus King Pergius and the First King, a few canyons in the mountains are not among them, and four fortresses have been formed, and the kingdom has maintained long-term strong interference in the disputed land on the other side of the mountain range through this path, so that it has not formed a complete kingdom for hundreds of years.

The Tumiti Territory is near the Northern Fortress.

Jiang Yuan's gaze moved to the shadow stone, which was still the image of an old man, obviously not yet updated.

"How's Viscount Tumitit's reputation?"

The internal affairs officer was stunned when he heard this, and replied truthfully: "Very few rumors have flowed out. ”

"That's her." Jiang Yuan decided.

……

In the evenings, a ball was held in the banquet hall, hosted by the First Prince, and King Asra was not interested in this kind of event, preferring a more direct approach.

At present, the most powerful upstart in the center of the kingdom is Darius, who became a superior minister a year ago, and he and the first prince Gravel are essentially allies, and the family behind the former is also quite powerful.

In front of the palace of the king, Jiang Yuan waited in a black hunting suit, with a long sword more like an ornament hanging from his waist.

"Your Majesty has rested, His Royal Highness is responsible for the marriage, the gifts have been prepared, there will be two teams of forbidden troops as escorts, and His Majesty has asked Kulen to go together." The Minister of the Interior was evidently impatient with a sense of impatience, he did not arrange his clothes, and multiplayer was only an ordinary place among the nobles of Asra, and it was undoubtedly a great honor to be able to cooperate with the king.

"Can the gift be exchanged?" Jiang Yuan asked, Asla's atmosphere has to be baptized by war, and he feels more and more that his decision is in line with the current national conditions and is difficult to disobey.

"It's not ......"

"Let's talk about the specific data first."

"As long as the value is equal, if Your Highness is okay, I have to go back to take care of Your Majesty, and I will not send it far."

The Minister of the Interior turned around and entered the palace of the king, Shaliye was not taken seriously, he only needed to get by on the surface, and there was no need to give too much accommodation.

Jiang Yuan retracted the photo stone in his palm back into his cuffs, took the list handed out by the guard knight at the door, and turned around to go to the royal warehouse.

On the list, two teams of twenty-four fully armored knights were at the top of the list, and the off-duty cavalry was very valuable, even if there were only two teams, the supply could bring down an ordinary village.

There are three housekeepers, fifty-four maids, and twenty-seven male servants, which is the standard that should be, and the rest also have gold, silver, jewelry, famous pictures and the like, in the face, he did not encounter difficulties, after all, if the royal family is humiliated, the first batch of dissatisfaction will be other royal families, which is caused by the sense of crisis involving themselves, just like very few kings can really tolerate the surrender of the monarch killer.

When I came to the royal warehouse, there were important cadres of the Knights, a sword master, two earth magicians, and some ordinary forbidden soldiers and clerks.

Jiang Yuan communicated with the Juggernaut to change the items on the list, preparing to exchange the servants and picture scrolls for ores and magic materials.

The Sword Saint looked at the Shadow Stone and said, "Then this will be easy to do, and please invite Your Highness to enter." ”

There is no so-called old-fashioned, the warehouse is full of royal collections, and if the exchange is completed, he can take a lot of rake.

Inside the warehouse, an inexplicable smell came from the accumulation of a large amount of ore, between earthy and rusty.

As a qualified alchemist, it is not difficult to discern and determine the inner characteristics through the appearance of materials, and from the most fundamental point of view, this is the adaptability of civilization.

Clerks began to check the value of their servants, and servants trained by the housekeeping system were extremely popular among the lower nobles and knights, who possessed basic numeracy and writing skills, and more importantly knew proper and standardized etiquette, which often sold for sky-high prices.

Jiang Yuan selected ores and materials, preparing to make a soldier tower, war needs manpower, he didn't want to spend too much energy to maintain loyalty, and decided to simply use that kind of alchemy soldier, most of the strong people in the world are not very good at defense, except for the outliers, which creates the feasibility of army siege.

In the end, Jiang Yuan took a longbow worth seven maids, and this kind of magic add-on is usually produced in the labyrinth, and has a variety of special effects, but most of them are useless.

"Blood longbow, Your Highness's good eyes." The Sword Master complimented, he made a fortune.

The effect of the longbow is bleeding, and the upper limit is a high-level healing magic, and in the holy country of Miris, healing magicians are quite rare.

I forgot to divide the volume, and I was reincarnated without a job
