After a series of battles in the hotel, Downton's name finally became known in the adventure world. Mercenary groups, chambers of commerce, and all races from the surface were all interested in him.
Rose of Bavaria's self-confessed boyfriend, her boldness to challenge the heir to the wealthy Hohenzollern family of St. Jutland, and her possession of two super-level magic servants, Firebird and Angel, are all the center of attention.
.
A week later, when the adventurers who witnessed Downton killing Dupont personally confirmed this achievement, the entire adventure world was in an uproar. The chambers of commerce that could do business underground all had close relationships with the upper class and quickly reported the news.
.
Many people are skeptical about this. Who is Dupont? Although the geniuses of the younger generation are not as good as the peerless geniuses such as Heinrich and Di Lanxue, they can still compete with people like Wood if they work hard, but actually
It is really unbelievable to die at the hands of an unknown person.
Downton's strength and record are good, but they are still not as good as the one that killed Dupont. However, with the return of the adventurers who participated in the battle for the coffin tomb, there is news that Downton has obtained the inheritance of the Barbarian King.
After it spread, no one questioned it anymore.
The Barbarian King's exclusive weapons, the Shattering Head and the Giant Dire Sword, are in Downton's hands, coupled with the epic martial arts Overlord Fist, it's enough to explain everything.
The matrons who heard this were even more satisfied with Downton, while Xuerle was angry for several days and beat to death no less than twenty servants.
After a long sweet dream, Downton woke up, stood up and walked to the window. As soon as he opened it, a cold and moist breeze blew in.
The city of Menzoberranzan in the dark is dotted with all kinds of lighting equipment, looking like stars from a distance. But it is not beautiful, but full of death.
Including the time at the Temple of Martial Arts, Downton has been in the underground world for nearly four years, but he is still not used to this dim environment. He can't wait to enjoy the warm sunshine.
"After participating in the Dark Ceremony, we will return to the surface. Then we will capture Dunkford." Looking into the distance, Downton's thoughts were vague, "I don't know what's going on in the Western Region? Abagon is managing daily affairs. I don't know what will happen.
You won’t give me a good harvest surprise.”
Downton doesn't expect to collect much tax money, as long as the people under his rule have enough food and clothing. Anyway, he is not short of money now and can still afford to raise an indigenous army.
"Elaine is studying in the Royal Capital of Saint Laurent, and is taken care of by mentor Cecilia. She should be safe. Celes doesn't know if she has tried hard to meditate, and Rosicky. I hope she won't return to the Sherman Empire to snatch the throne, otherwise she may die.
Throw them all away."
Downton sat at the table, and Homer stretched out his elemental arm and poured him a cup of black tea.
"homesick?"
The cheap god speaks.
"yes!"
Downton sighed. A major city like this that has stood for tens of thousands of years has a complex and mysterious magic array buried underground and is under the strictest protection.
Even with Homer's wisdom and profound knowledge, it is impossible to set up a teleportation array. Because there is severe law interference, the spatial coordinates are constantly changing. Maybe the teleportation array cannot be used before it is built. This is not bad. If it is used
When the spatial coordinates are displaced, it may be sent to other places, and there is no possibility of getting it back.
"With the foundation of an empire like this, even if your imagination is given wings to fly, you won't be able to guess the limit. In the past, the dwarf empire would launch small-scale plundering wars on the surface of the earth every few decades, but why is this
There hasn’t been much movement for thousands of years? It’s because we lost the Forge and were worried about being counterattacked by the surface races. If we really break in, the dwarves may die.”
Homer explained that even without seeing it in person, he knew that the Dwarf Empire had been building a new main city for thousands of years. Once it was completed, this peace would disappear.
"Then why don't surface countries come in?"
As soon as Downton finished asking, he felt happy. The nine empires seemed to be similar in appearance but could not be unified at all, and the dwarf empire was not a soft persimmon. It would be sad if an empire exhausted its national power and was plucked by others.
"There is another reason. There are too many races and countries on the surface, so there are many wars. But the underground world is different. The strongest ones are the dwarves and drow. They have enough time to recuperate."
Homer took the opportunity to educate Downton about the situation on the mainland. After becoming king, these are all compulsory courses. How to establish a foothold between countries and earn enough benefits cannot be achieved in one or two months.
Make it clear.
"It's so troublesome!"
Downton was worried and scratched his hair irritably. Although he was in the north, he found that he could not even recognize the entire country.
"A principality with less than 100,000 people? Is this worthy of attention?"
Looking at the map Homer took out, Downton felt depressed.
"Haha, do you know why the neighboring countries haven't wiped out the country with so few citizens?"
Homer asked.
"Because it is a buffer zone between these countries, and the people in this area are fierce and believe in a god from the chaos camp. Anyone who comes to fight must be prepared to have a tooth broken."
Sissi walked in, glanced at the map, and answered casually.
"Of course, the reason is that the land is barren and has no resource output. This kind of rotten land that cannot collect taxes should not be given away for free."
"sharp!"
Downton gave a thumbs up.
“They are all taught well by their family tutors!”
Sissi was very happy to be praised by her sweetheart. She lifted up her skirt with both hands, performed a court salute, and accepted the compliment gracefully.
"Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to say that the proportion of elites among nobles is indeed greater than that of common people." Downton felt a little inferior.
"Isn't this nonsense? The favorable family conditions allow them to stay in school even if they don't want to, and receive the best education since childhood. But common people are different. Filling their stomachs is the first priority."
The cheap god rolled his eyes. The guy who can stand out among the common people must not only be lucky, but also put in a lot of sweat.
"The world is fair. If you don't pay, you won't gain!"
Homer sighed, Downton had wasted too much time to make a living. While the princess was receiving an elite education, he was carrying a full mailbag to deliver letters, and he also had to use his pockets to buy lunch in order not to be snatched away by sentries.
of copper coins, and compete with the sentry in a battle of wits and courage.
"You should be lucky that Downton did not wait to die, but has a heart to climb up!"
Cheap God teases.
"Hey, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have responded to his meditation!"
Homer was very proud. Facts have proved that waking up was a correct decision. In just three years, Downton had reached the seventh level of dragon slaying, became the Duke of the West, and was only one step away from the scepter, and became the king.
The throne is probably only a matter of time.
"Big brother, big news, big news!"
Little Hutao opened the bedroom door, rushed in excitedly, waving a piece of parchment and handed it to Downton.
"what?"
Downton took it and found that it was his portrait, which was very lifelike because it was engraved with magic.
"Hey, you're on the bounty list. There's a reward of 30 million gold coins!" Hu Tao jumped on Downton's back and pointed to the number under the reward list, "Look, No. 95!"
"I'm not a wanted criminal, why should I be on the reward list?"
Downton frowned, thinking this was some kind of prank.
"Hey, that's right, Batty and Su Ya told me!" Hutao was confused, jumped off the ground, and ran out again, "I'll go ask."
"No need to ask, in addition to the official bounty list, there is also a dark bounty list, which is a list listed by the underground forces headed by the three mysterious organizations. Anyone who has an enemy can seek revenge through offering a reward, whether it is the Duke,
King, dragon, demon lord, as long as they can afford it, someone will do it."
Twilight walked in and explained softly.
"What's going on with this 95th position?"
Sissi doesn't have much exposure to things in this dark world.
"Only the one hundred people with the highest bounty are eligible to be on the bounty list. At that time, the three major mysterious organizations will issue bounty lists to some taverns in the Western Continent. It is not to help you become famous, but to hope that more powerful people will come.
After all, if they succeed in hunting you down, they can get a very generous commission."
Twilight smiled, "So, you will be in big trouble in the future."
Sissi looked at Downton worriedly, while Hutao complained carelessly, "Only 30 million? Ranked 95th? Is it too low? What kind of vision does the guy who made this list have? It's really bad!
"
"You've just been wanted, and you entered the top 100. It's already very powerful. It shows that the other party really wants you dead." Twilight guessed that Xuerle should have taken action.
"By the way, when Sissi was fifteen years old, she was on this list with a price tag of three billion gold coins and specified that she should be captured alive. However, a week later, the king who issued the reward was destroyed by Sissi's father.
After the human head was hung in the main city of Bavaria for public display for three days, it was transported by an airship and allowed to be viewed by kings from all countries on the entire continent!"
This was a very sensational event at the time, and it was precisely because of this that Maximilian II was dubbed the greatest father. After that, no one dared to cause trouble to Sissi.
"How cool. By the way, where is Di Lanxue?"
Hu Tao thought of another girl with the same name as Sissi.
"Ranked nineteen, but they all have to be captured alive, and the bounty is no longer gold coins, but six pieces of epic equipment!"
"Tsk, tsk, so valuable!"
Downton lamented that at the level of epic equipment, even if you have money, you can't buy it. Instead, you need to exchange epics for epics. One Di Lanxue is actually worth six epics, which shows how priceless it is.
"Let me tell you, this list was also published when Shishi Ji was fifteen years old. It has been several years and has not been changed. Do you know why?"
Batty came to report the news and immediately became excited when he heard Di Lanxue's name. He is a die-hard fan of Shishi Ji.
"Why?"
Hu Tao suddenly asked with big eyes flashing. (To be continued...)
