Chapter 402
Woo woo, I didn't finish it, and I changed it later
However, fear, after all, is only a fleeting existence, and from the moment it appears, it is destined to be lost in those eternal things...... Like death, like time......
When the warm summer sun once again took over the middle of the sky, the roar of anger was all that was left of Edward's faint fragments of memory. It still came to mind from time to time, but it wasn't enough to disturb his mind anymore.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted......" Edward looked up with an apologetic smile.
The room was not as wide as the eye could see, and was as modest and unadorned as most of the rooms in the castle, except for the simple bookshelves of walnut, a simple wooden table, and four chairs. Only the dark and heavy wood surface is as smooth as a mirror, so that a wonderful momentum turns the original simplicity into simplicity.
At this time, this simplicity is even more atmospheric, because in front of Edward, the Duke of Greenland is sitting precariously.
There was still no trace of blood on the duke's pale face, but it no longer looked like it was weak, and the upright sitting posture and neat black robe, in addition to the elegance of the nobility, perfectly set off the arrogance of his body, which belonged only to the strong.
"Viscount Edward, allow me to express my sincerest gratitude, for my error of judgment has caused such a bad impact, and if it weren't for your timely help, Gushan City and the Riteger family would have suffered a catastrophe this time," the Duke began, and then bowed his head slightly in a noble manner, and said with sincere gratitude, "Although the mere verbal thanks are somewhat insignificant, I hope you will accept my great gratitude." The Grad family and I owe you a great favor. ”
"You are too polite, and it is the duty of nobles to help each other and benefit each other within their means. What's more, I have always admired His Excellency the Duke, and it is my honor to be able to help you. The young man sitting across from him blinked and smiled slightly: "Moreover, maybe it won't be long before I have something to ask for your Excellency the Duke." ”
He smiled slightly, and did not make any more pretentiousness, but reached out and took a pocket from the woman behind him.
Of course, the one who can stay here and listen to the conversation between the two will not be a mediocre figure. Standing quietly behind the Duke at this moment was the woman who called him her brother.
The Female Juggernaut.
It's just that she has now changed out of that armor and replaced it with an ordinary aristocratic costume - not a gorgeous skirt, but a lean hunting suit, her shoulder-length dark red silk loosely tied a ponytail, making the face of the non-powdered Dai more heroic, under the slender brow, the reddish eyes did not blink, and stopped on the psychic mancer. The expression seems to be smiling rather than smiling, but the love in his eyes is full of playfulness.
Just like the look that was left to him after the previous fight.
It's like a kid looking at a very strange ...... Toy?
In short, what is the meaning in it, Edward raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze was only slightly touched, and he let go of his gaze and no longer looked at him.
What's more, what is more important now is the immediate benefits.
The Duke pushed the bulging pockets of black velvet that were tightly tied with silver threads, and he gently ripped open them, so that one by one, the cloudy, shimmering smooth stones poured out and spread all over the tabletop. The colorful luster made the mind sorcerer's eyes move slightly.
"What is this?" he looked up, the expression on his face was already just the right amount of surprise.
"Naturally, it's a thank you gift from the Riteg family, don't you think that we will only use a vain word in response to such a kindness?13-Lookੌo;A lot of words on the Internet" The Duke blinked and smiled rarely.
Edward nodded.
Gems are one of the most convenient hard currencies in the world, not only can they be extremely expensive in very small quantities, but they are also far more valuable to the caster than precious metals such as gold and silver - in addition to being valuable, they are also an important material for making zuò spell items or spell materials.
Of course, the price of gemstones varies greatly depending on the composition. But Edward had already made several such large deals, and he had no less than five hundred precious stones of all colors in his possession—so upon a slight glance, he could tell the value of these gems—emeralds, opals, warm crystals, brilliant black tourmalines, crimson tears, blue gemstones...... Not only are there many types, but they are all of the highest quality, and each thumb-sized gemstone is enough to exchange for nearly a thousand gold coins.
The value of this bag of gems is at least more than 100,000 gold coins, a figure that even a duke cannot take out lightly.
But as a thank you gift, this expensive payment is by no means a loss-making transaction.
The dissidents in the clan are often nothing more than scabies for the aristocratic family, and even have the positive effect of survival of the fittest, but the cultists lurking in the family are definitely malignant tumors - not to mention that these guys are still plotting to push the entire family into an unpredictable dark path, and being able to completely eliminate it before it explodes is tantamount to giving the family a chance to be reborn. Not to mention a batch of gems, even if it is a greater price, this duke will definitely pay it directly without saying a word.
What's more, the role of this gem is obviously more than just a gift.
"Your Excellency Edward, actually, I have one more thing to ask for. "Follow this ...... of yours The subordinates' statement, their infiltration of the Riteg family, is really beyond my imagination, I think I can set up a situation to eliminate them, but it seems that I am really too confident, some members of the family, even one of my sons, have been bewitched by them. ”
The Duke raised his gaze and glanced behind Edward at the man who was still standing.
In his memory, this person was a mage of the Riteg family, his ability was not outstanding, he could only be regarded as above average, and he was low-key, but he was old enough to serve the family for more than ten years, so although he often left under the pretext of collecting magic materials, it did not affect his respect.
But now, this impression in my memory is meaningless, because the identity of this mage is actually a high-ranking member of the church of that god, and one of the masterminds behind the incident last night!
And now, he has become the servant of the young viscount in front of him - the confusion and calm in those eyes is the proof that he has been imprisoned by special magic.
When his gaze met, the Duke's brow couldn't help but furrow even tighter.
In fact, it is precisely because this person's status is high enough and he has enough access to the core secrets that all the temples and main hidden personnel of the conspiracy gods in the entire city, and even in the entire territory of Rytg, will be caught clean enough, including Riteg and some members of the hapless Thyssenkrup family...... To be able to identify the great uneasiness in these families, how important is it to the Duke of Greenland? At least it is not an exaggeration to use the word "Tianda" as a description.
However, how terrible is it to be able to control such a person, that young man's power lightly?
"This kind of situation is something I didn't take into account, and this time, although the potential to hide them in Gushan City was uprooted, my loss was not small. With the rebels, at least a third of my elite cavalry was lost, and that didn't include the average warriors, although I still had an absolute advantage in military strength, but there was also Thyssen...... Those guys obviously couldn't sit still, and I think as soon as I made a move, they would immediately respond with a full-fledged counterattack. ”
Calming down, the Duke spoke.
Edward raised his eyebrows, but a psychic warlock naturally wouldn't show any of his expressions lightly.
"For a period of time, the Riteger family will probably enter a chaotic situation that they can't take care of. Therefore, your help is invaluable to us now. The Duke sighed: "In the case of a full-scale war, the supply of hundreds of weapons and equipment is just a small bowl of water in a fire. So, our previous agreement now has to be changed. ”
"Your Excellency, I don't think you know much about the production of weapons than I do, even if it's not a high-end product, but the production of armor still requires manpower, a lot of manpower. And now I'm just a small lord of a city, and even if you place enough orders, I won't be able to use that much manpower to produce ......"
"I can give you more manpower. ”
The Duke's brow furrowed, and he gently reached out to hold the teacup in front of him, but did not hold it:
"I have heard that there are many half-elves in your realm, and they regard your city as their new home?
Of course, even if the Duke had an intelligence network corresponding to his title and the size of his family, he would not have been able to get it so quickly—all he knew about the Dark Lady was what Edward wanted him to know.
The Church of the God of Conspiracy almost dug up the Drum Mountain, and established a considerable space below it for forging weapons - the natural geographical advantage here can be used to use the power of geothermal heat, but their ability is too far behind Edward, although the scale is far superior, but the output is not comparable, maybe it is already good to arm a thousand people.
Although His Royal Highness the Duke must have mastered the prank factory in the future, there may not be much stock left, and most of the finished products have been secretly transported to an unknown place by a teleportation circle.
And this cunning old guy is equivalent to using the money just now to buy this underground arsenal and its contents......
Edward shook his head - of course, he had little interest in those things from the beginning, the production scale was too small, and the technology was outdated. What's more, the location is on the other party's territory, and it is impossible for him to move them all away, so it is a good harvest to exchange them for some gems.
However, there are some things that cannot be given up.
"Ah, that's right, in fact, this time, there is a little bit of a secret. The young man looked embarrassed, and then spoke: "As a supplier of weapons, some dwarves have entrusted me with the search for their lost people, well, so I think, Your Excellency, you now know where those people are, right?13 - Lookੌo; a lot of words on the Internet."
"This ...... Your Excellency, you mean that you need those dwarves?" the Duke's brow furrowed deeply.
This new underground forge, although it is huge, is actually not so incredibly valuable to a duke. In fact, that kind of secrecy has no necessary meaning for him at all, only those dwarven craftsmen are the core of it - without the world-famous forging technology of the dwarves, the quality of the finished product produced is probably going to drop several grades at once...... This was clearly beyond the limits of what he could accept.
If someone had put forward such an opinion before, he probably didn't even need to think about it - no matter where they were, such a group of dwarven craftsmen were a wealth comparable to that of thousands of troops.
But in front of his eyes this man, already with
- The caster who has eliminated a monster like the Divine Blood Incarnation, even in front of the two Sword Masters, can also be on an equal footing, or even a step ahead. What's more, in that battle, the caster's expression was far from being 'active' or 'contributing'.
"The Duke of Greenland is famous and close to the people, and I think even if he is a foreign race, he should have heard of it, so Your Excellency the Duke, I think there should be some dwarves who are willing to serve you as your people, so I think it will be enough for me to take some of them away. Edward began.
In fact, the dwarves who were caught there, of course, were not as introduced by Ryanstein, they were a family - most of these fifty or sixty people were actually some unlucky ones, and Edward didn't particularly need these guys, what he liked was just the combat power of the dwarves, but these things were also famous rice buckets, and all the twenty or so could supplement the combat power of the first line, and then use them to make some unique and delicate weapons.
Behind Edward stood the owner of the magic shop, Ryan Stein.
This spellcaster, who was once the backbone of the God of Conspiracy, is an excellent warlock and a possessor who has a magic item system
But at the moment, for Edward, this is nothing more than a puppet who has lost his heart.
In the state of the Soul Explosion, the power that Edward was able to invoke expanded more than ten times, even the self-protection of a skilled spellcaster was as fragile as an eggshell in the face of this power, not to mention that this poor prey had already punched out a hole in the eggshell with extreme surprise after witnessing the process of being devoured by the divine blood, and as long as he squeezed it gently, the Psychic Warlock pulled out a complete slave from it.
Although with his current strength, this kind of control can only last for more than ten days, but in fact it is enough.
Excessive.
But it will never be so simple, divine blood, a part of the gods, this is also one of the few ways for a god like a god to send his power to this world without suffering too much loss, and the effect caused by fusing it, if it only raises the upper limit of his spiritual power a little, then the power of the god is too worthless, and it is impossible to become one of the several powers that are recited in this multiverse.
Even if Arestoteler is no longer at the peak of his power, the benefits of a drop of his blood should not be so small.
But that's also an extravagant hope, right?13-Lookੌo; A lot of words on the Internet
Actually, the pros and cons...... Or should not the symbiotic existence of receiving and giving, come one after the other?
Relative to what you get, the fact that you haven't shown a significant price so far is the most disturbing thing, isn't it?
Obviously, he was a psychic mancer, but he was just a human, not some legendary being, or the illegitimate child of some monster...... It is not impossible for the blood of the Edward Vincent family to have a zài alien bloodline, but something that can devour the blood of the gods...... I'm afraid that the offspring produced by something that is rarer than the direct bloodline of the gods, even if it is only a little related, it can't be so ordinary, right?13-Lookੌo;A lot of words on the Internet
As for the spiritual origins?
Perhaps, his soul is special, but the greatest peculiarity he has is just some memories that do not belong to this world. If it is said that because this soul comes from a great country in the other world, it is born with some special abilities, such as devouring gods or something...... This kind of 13-watchੌo Internet can only come up with a joke, will be used as a reason to believe, I'm afraid that in addition to primary school students, there is only secondary school disease.
Then, of course, the problem lies in the process.
Most of the reasons for this qiē change, if not all, are still the ring.
The ring was still the same, the beautiful middle finger ring, with a slender chain, connected to the other part, shimmering a faint silver sheen in the eyes of the psychic mancer, and there was not the slightest trace to confirm that it had caused any miracle, but
