The tip of the pen was written on the paper, and the liquid fire paint was poured into the lower corner of the approval document. After remaining still for a few seconds, a ring-like lord's emblem was pressed on it. When the lord's emblem was removed, a mark appeared.
After Su Xiao picked up the approval document on the table, he looked at the red dwarf city lord opposite, who was the last of the eight city lords. Seeing Su Xiao's gaze, the red dwarf city lord immediately signed a contract on the table.
Please don't misunderstand, this is a serious contract, provided by the relevant institutions of the main city, in order to further strengthen the lord's control over the city lord. Otherwise, each city lord is equivalent to a smaller lord.
Baha asked Baha to see off the red dwarf city lord. Only Su Xiao and Bu Buwang were sleeping soundly on the bed behind him in the guest room. With a bang, the lights were turned off. Su Xiao sat in the dark and thought about the opponent this time, that is, the lord.
The housekeeper is too vulnerable.
His original plan was to let the eight city lords who were in urgent need of supplies go and fight the steward. Even if they won, the eight lords should pay some price. However, this was not the case in reality. The steward's death was part of the plan.
, but these eight city lords won too easily.
This made Su Xiao think of two possibilities. One is that the little lord of Late Winter City, Guerwei, is not as simple as it seems. It is really unclear who is the puppet. Maybe all the housekeepers are this little lord.
The lord's shield.
It is not impossible. A ten-year-old human girl inherited her father's position as lord, and it was in a cold place like the North that was far away from the main city. The entire territory of Late Winter City, except for one
There are famous lords and many family forces. Among these people, it is inevitable that there are those who spy on the lord's position.
If the little lord Guerwei steps forward to take charge of her own affairs, assassinations and plots from the outside world will definitely come straight towards her.
On the other hand, if the little lord Gurvi seems to be just a puppet, then those with ulterior motives must first get rid of the most popular butler. Once the housekeeper is killed, the little lord Gurvi will hide deeper and then continue
Pretend to act like a child, but in reality your heart is waiting for opportunities.
In addition, there is another possibility that the little lord Guerwei is indeed just an ordinary noble lady, but she has a melancholy temperament and likes to wear darker dresses, which is why people have this suspicion and the real support behind the scenes.
The steward is the secret force of Late Winter City.
Judging from the butler's personal ability, which has not survived tonight, Su Xiao really doesn't believe that such a person can evade the authority of a lord. The lords' council is not a decoration. The father of the young lord Guerwei also had many friends during his lifetime.
.
Although it was said that it was easy to let go, having a steward take away the power of a lord would really bring shame to the lords' council once word spread about it.
Then there is only one possibility, that is, the cost of getting rid of the butler is much greater than losing some face, so the Lords Council turns a blind eye.
Su Xiao first thought that someone from the seven major families was secretly supporting the housekeeper, but then she thought about it. It was impossible for the seven major families to engage in such low-level activities. Furthermore, the seven heads of the seven major families were the seven most powerful ones.
It is impossible for an orc lord to bully his own people, whether openly or secretly.
Su Xiao then thought about whether the Sea Clan was secretly supporting the steward. After thinking for a moment, she felt that this was unlikely. It made sense that the steward could join the Sea Clan for power. But what were the two city lords who were colluding with the steward, what were they doing?
This is not a question of whether you dare or not, but whether it is worth it. If you fight for power among yourself, the worst outcome if you lose is death. But if you join the Sea Clan, once you are discovered, you will be immediately escorted to the "Sand Bone City"
” and bear the punishment of soul purgatory.
Excluding the Sea Clan, Su Xiao began to think about whether it was the so-called sect in this world. There are three relatively powerful sects in this world, the Poseidon Sect, the Alien Beast Sect, and the Dark God Sect.
The Poseidon Sect was the first to be eliminated, and the suspicion of the Alien Beast Sect was also very small. This sect has nothing to do with the alien beasts in this world. The sect is filled with ascetic monks. As long as they do not actively provoke them, they will treat others peacefully.
Then only the Dark God Cult is left. It can be said that wherever there is an invasion of the abyss, there are these guys. Su Xiao previously thought that the Dark God Cult is just a sect in the shadow world. After arriving in Fenghai Continent, he found that this was not the case.
One thing is the same, no matter which world they are in, the indigenous people hate these guys who believe in the abyss. In the Wind Sea Continent, the Dark God Cult is not rampant, and the Beast Tribe and Sea Tribe are too strong.
When Su Xiao was thinking about whether this matter was secretly supported by the Dark God Religion, Baha returned and whispered: "Boss, the two city lords are here and want to see you."
The two city lords Baha mentioned were naturally the two people who had colluded with the housekeeper before. Now that the housekeeper is dead, one can imagine the purpose of these two people coming to the door.
There are ten big cities on the fiefdom, and ten city lords. To be precise, there are nine official city lords and one acting city lord. The acting city lord is temporarily in charge of "Late Winter City", but after Su Xiao arrived at "Late Winter City",
This acting city lord will become a deacon and be responsible for assisting the lord in managing "Late Winter City". However, after Su Xiao arrives at "Late Winter City", this acting city lord can step down.
The acting city lord had no objection to this. After all, Su Xiao had given him too much compensation for resigning. After he resigned, Piru of the Spotted Fox Tribe was appointed as the deacon. Now Piru had gone to "Late Winter City" overnight to carry out the
Handover work.
In other words, there are still nine city lords on the fief, two of them are already outside the door, and the remaining seven are those who attended today's dinner and took off the butler's head.
Su Xiao signaled Baha to let the two people in. After the two city lords entered the room, Su Xiao discovered that one of the two city lords was a pure-blooded orc and the other was a wolf. The wolf among them was named Fenris.
Of the two, he was obviously the leader.
"Lord, we..."
Before Fenris finished speaking, Su Xiao raised his hand to interrupt, and said: "Originally, we invited two people to today's dinner, but my people were delayed along the way."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Fenris and the orc city lord on the side looked at each other, and then their faces were filled with smiles. Fenris even took the initiative to pick up the teapot on the table and filled Su Xiao's empty tea cup with more than half of it.
Su Xiao seemed to be chatting about today's dinner, but what she actually meant was that the matter with the housekeeper was over, and she was not prepared to investigate the collusion between these two people and the housekeeper.
If we follow the normal procedure, either not seeing these two people at all, or making a few sarcastic remarks, then getting rid of these two people and letting other city lords on the fief see them, this is the result of colluding with others.
Dealing with it this way may seem straightforward, but in fact, it will immediately make you lonely. Among the nine city lords in the fiefdom, it seems that only the two city lords in front of you are not good people. The other seven city lords are all peaceful. But is this really the case?
The city lords in the fiefdom must know that the housekeeper has evaded the power in the hands of the young lord Gurwei. As long as those seven city lords care about the old lord's old relationship, they should put some pressure on the housekeeper, not to mention fully supporting the little lord Gu.
Erwei, that is a bit unrealistic, but at least the young lord Guerwei cannot leave the manor and be placed under house arrest.
The seven city lords chose to hide in the dark and wait and see what would happen. On the other hand, the wolf city lord Fenris and the orc city lord, although these two people sided with the steward, at least they stood up. The more important point is that under Su Xiao
Before taking over the "Late Winter City Fief", Fenris and the orc city lord's big cities each had more than 700 units of food inventory. Although it was not enough to survive this winter, "Late Winter City" only had more than 500 units of food at that time.
In stock only.
The big city managed by these two city lords has more grain stocks than the core city of the fiefdom, Late Winter City. In addition, these grains are not taken from other big cities in the fiefdom, but are obtained by the two city lords based on their own abilities.
At this time, Su Xiao had just taken over the territory of Midwinter City. Should he favor the seven city lords who like to wait and see what happens and not make the first move, or should he focus on the two guys who like to take the initiative?
The answer is obvious. Su Xiao needs a city lord who is willing to stand up. He went to the "Midwinter City Fiefdom" not really for the fiefdom. He wanted to secretly develop the Zerg there and get away from trivial matters.
, to search for the Wolf Tomb, Soul Death God, and fight for the "Initial Mark" fragments that may be discovered at any time.
"Sir, don't you find it strange that a mere housekeeper dares to stand up against you?"
Fenris spoke with a smile on his face, his tone a little more friendly than before.
"Tell me about it."
Su Xiao put down the teacup, and Fenris immediately picked up the teapot and filled it, while saying: "The easiest thing to ignore is also the most dangerous."
Fenris did not directly clarify that under such circumstances, he dared to make such a Riddler-like statement, either because he was too short-lived, or because the party involved had a strong prophecy or causal system.
Su Xiao immediately thought of the tribal camp. The three major forces in the world, the Orc Tribe, the Sea Tribe, and the Tribe. The first two were fighting so fiercely that people subconsciously ignored the Voodoo Tribe.
If you lay out the map of Fenghai Continent on a flat surface, you will see the territory of the tribal camp, just below the orc camp. But why are the orcs and sea tribes fighting in darkness, but they completely ignore the tribe?
The reason is that there is a poisonous swamp between the territory of the orcs and the tribe, and the tribe has a wetland swamp to the west, a mangrove swamp to the east, and the "dark rain belt" behind it. The "dark rain belt" is the most dangerous restricted area for creatures in the world.
, the danger level is similar to that of the "Eternal Icefield" on the northernmost side of the Sea Tribe's territory.
Over the years, the orcs have not considered the threat from the tribe, and have also wanted to go there and deal with it. However, the terrain around the tribe's territory is too harsh, either a poisonous area or an erosion area.
This also leads to the fact that 99% of the strange beasts in this world are on the tribe's territory. Don't think that the territory there is small, it is equivalent to one-third of the orc tribe's territory.
It was the tribe that supported the steward behind the scenes. This was something Su Xiao did not expect. There must be a reason for this.
As if aware of Su Xiao's doubts, Wolf Fenris whispered: "Sir, I heard a rumor that the old lord actually left a secret treasure after his death."
"Secret treasure?"
Su Xiao frowned, he was not very interested in this secret treasure.
"Yes, the secret treasure. It is said that the core of the secret treasure is two original fragments."
Hearing what Fenris said, Su Xiao suddenly became very interested in this secret treasure. The reason is that he has reached the stage where he needs the "Primary Fragments" very much, because just 1 second ago, when Fenris mentioned the "Primary Fragments",
Su Xiao received a reminder from Samsara Paradise.
[Tip: It has been verified that the current resources of the hunter are enough to upgrade a technical ability to Lv.80. Under this premise, some data of "Primary Fragments" have been opened to you. 】
Before, Su Xiao didn't know the specific function of "Primal Fragment". She only heard from Bai Niu that if she wanted to break through her own limits and reach the "Extremely Powerful" level, she needed this thing.
After level up, you need this thing even more.
When Bainiu was at the peak of the ninth level, he had to go through a lot of hardships to get 5 "Primary Fragments". After Su Xiao cured Bainiu's sister's old injury, Bainiu originally wanted to give Su Xiao 2 to 3 "Primary Fragments".
", at least let Su Xiao not be as difficult as he was when he was at the peak of the ninth level and moving towards "the most powerful".
Unfortunately, the "Primordial Fragments" in the void are so rare that Bainiu only got one piece. Counting the piece given by Bainiu and the one he got in the Shadow World last time, Su Xiao has a total of two "Primordial Fragments".
The reason why he needs this thing is because the resources he currently holds are enough to upgrade the sword master to Lv.80. In a sense, the first upper limit of the sword master is Lv.80, but instead of
To say this is the upper limit is more like a barrier.
By combining three "primordial fragments" into one, you can use this to break through the upper limit of Sword Skill Master Lv. 80 and reach a new level. After that, Su Xiao's upper limit of Sword Skill will soar, at least to Lv.
90, or even higher.
To break through Level 80 of a skill's ability, you need three pieces of "Primordial Fragments". Three pieces are nine pieces. Do you think this is the end? No.
"Ultimately Strong" is not just a title, it is actually a clear ladder of strength. To move from the ninth level to "Ultimately Strong", one needs to synthesize the "Primary Power" from five "Primary Fragments" to break through to the highest level.
"The Strongest" level.
This method can not only bring about the improvement of all attributes, but also gain in other aspects, greatly increasing the strength of those who reach extreme strength.
This is also the reason why the ruthless brother has not moved towards the "ultimate strength" until now. It is obviously because there are not enough "original fragments". The four-technique master + five pieces to break through the strongest, a total of seventeen pieces are needed, and the magic sickle Tai
Lid should have about the same amount of "Primary Fragments" as Su Xiao needs. After all, they have abyssal abilities.
Thinking about it this way, Su Xiaohua made a huge profit when she opened the Abyss Store with 100 ounces of time and space power. The reason is that "Primordial Fragments" can be purchased in the Abyss Store notarized by the Void Tree.
【Original Fragment】
category:???
Inventory quantity:???(The hunter's reputation is too low and cannot be viewed).
"Precipitated colored glaze" is rare, but at least it is something that can be bought with soul coins. The three chambers of commerce that Su Xiao visited all sell this thing, but each one is more expensive than the other and requires a large sum of souls.
Coins, at this moment Su Xiao once again felt that no matter how many soul coins he obtained, they were not enough.
"Tell me carefully about the origin of this secret treasure."
Of course, Su Xiao is not prepared to let go of these two "original fragments". Even if it is just a rumor, it is still worth trying. Furthermore, the voodoo sorcerers and witch doctors of the tribe are willing to participate in this matter, which means that the existence of this secret treasure is possible.
His personality is extremely high, otherwise why would he come all the way to Mudong City and secretly support the famous housekeeper?
After listening to the description of the wolf Fenris, Su Xiao had a basic understanding of the secret treasure. This was the family secret treasure of the little lord Guerwei, because there had never been an "extremely powerful person" in the family, or someone close to the "extremely powerful one".
The head of the family with "strong" strength, this thing has been passed down forever.
This secret was kept secret until both the parents of the little lord Guerwei died in accidents, and the little lord Guerwei was too young. She did not know the value of this secret treasure. She only wore it all the time because it was a relic left by her father.
It was not until a maid secretly stole the secret treasure while the young lord Guervi was sleeping that the matter was completely spread.
At present, in the territory of Duidong City, not only the people from the tribe are secretly searching for this secret treasure, but most of the local families and the city lords of various big cities are also secretly searching for it.
"Fenris, I'll leave this matter to you two. When it's done..."
Su Xiao put her thumb and index finger together and clicked on the approval document on the table, which made both Fenris and the orc city lord promise that this matter would be done.
After the two left, Su Xiao came to the bed and pushed Bubu Wang off the bed.
"Woo~"
Bubuwang purred lazily.
"Gone."
"Woo~"
Bubuwang whined again, but made no move to get up. Seeing this, Baha smiled evilly. He took out the terminal and played the audio recorded in the "Cold Cemetery" before, and the infiltrating ghost whistled.
Come on, Bubuwang trembled, his eyes changing from confusion to fear.
Su Xiao asked Amu and Ergoin to continue to guard the warehouse where a large amount of supplies were stored. He took Bubu Wang and Baha to the teleportation tower in the fifteenth city. When the teleportation array under his feet was activated, there was no accident this time.
.
The surrounding space fog surged. Due to the long transmission distance, the surrounding gray space fog dissipated after a few seconds. A cold wind came, bone-chilling, and Late Winter City had arrived.
Baha closed the blown window of the teleportation tower, emitted light and heat from the gas lamp, and allowed the temperature to gradually rise. When walking down the spiral staircase, Su Xiao saw Lean sitting on the seat with an empty wine bottle in his hand.
The elderly guard was soundly asleep.
After exiting the Space Tower, the scene that entered the scene was covered with snow. Most of the buildings in Late Winter City were four to five stories. Steel pipes were exposed on the outer walls. The temperature they emitted melted the frost and snow on the walls, but the roof of each building had
They are all covered with white snow, and with a small amount of steam leaking from some pipes, although it is winter here, there is no strong sense of coldness visually.
The snow that had not been cleared in time on the street had been compacted into a layer, with only the bus and train track exposed in the middle. After getting on the bus, the familiar sound of frying and the aroma wafted over. Su Xiao heard the sound and looked over. It was the bus in front of the train.
At the kitchen counter, a snack similar to pan-fried meatballs is being cooked. The snack that was promised to be unique to the main city turns out to be also available in the Northern Territory. It seems that the meal crew member whom I met for the first time was deceived.
Late Winter City is not as big as Eternal Ring City, and it is cold, but it gives people an indescribable sense of harmony. Although it is almost six o'clock in the morning, the sky is still dark, and many shops on the street have lights on.
The warm-toned lighting makes the street scene more pleasant.
Taking the bus to the back city area, Su Xiao got off the bus and walked into a small forest. After walking along the path in the forest for a while, a manor appeared in front of her. It was the lord's manor of Late Winter City.
The area of the entire manor is about the size of a football field. Compared with the lords of other fiefdoms, this is already very frugal. It can be seen that the fathers of the little lord Gurvey should have a sense of majesty, but as long as the residence can guarantee
A lord's face does not seek luxury.
There were no guards on either side of the main entrance. Judging from the footprints, there were originally some. These minions must have fled after the housekeeper was killed.
Following the corridor in the manor, Su Xiao came to the castle. After opening the door of the castle, he did not feel warm, but a cold feeling that had not been warmed for a long time.
After walking through the long corridor with windows on one side and going upstairs, Su Xiao felt two breaths in a bedroom on the second floor. When he stopped in front of the door, he knocked on the door.
There was no sound from inside, but with his strong ears, he could hear the deliberately suppressed breathing inside, and one of the breaths even chose to hold his breath.
Su Xiao pointed her finger on the door, and the entire door instantly crystallized and then shattered. As the door shattered, warm air flowed out of the room. In the huge castle, only this bedroom was heated.
"There is no money here anymore. Is it really worth attacking the lord for a castle that has no money?"
A maid, about 30 years old, stood in front of a little girl. One of the maid's hands was still behind her back, pressing on the little girl's back.
This little girl has a melancholy temperament. She is wearing a gold and black dress. Judging from the style, it feels a bit like a Gothic dress. The gold thread pattern on it means that this dress is of great value. It is obvious that this is the little lord Guerwei.
.
"You, what do you want to do."
Although the maid was frightened, she still protected the little lord Guerwei behind her.
Su Xiao took out the gold coin, threw it on the small round table, and said to the maid: "Go buy some ingredients. I haven't had breakfast yet. Bubu, go and restore the heating pipeline of this castle. Baha, go and clean the ten people near the manor."
Several secret sentries were killed."
Both Bubo Wang and Baha walked towards the outside of the castle. Su Xiao went down to the second underground floor of the castle, lifted up a large piece of rock floor tiles, and then grabbed the sand laid underneath. The ground was normal, and he quietly walked under the castle.
Building a nest is no problem.
Su Xiao began to draw the formation diagram. Summoning Jila to Fenghai Continent was not an easy task. Conventional methods simply couldn't do it. Fortunately, he obtained a rare thing a long time ago. This thing is called [
Blade of Transcendence】.
[Blade of Transcendence (a special item, you can use this item to temporarily break the outer space barrier of the Transcendence and Native World, allowing individuals whose body size does not exceed a certain level to enter the Transcendence and Native World). 】
After more than an hour of engraving, Su Xiao completed the summoning array. He pressed on the array with one hand and activated it. The next second, the prompt of the Void Tree appeared.
[Warning (Tree of the Void): An alien master-level war creature has been detected, respond to this call]
[War Creatures: Demonic Zerg.]
[Ethnic danger level: extremely high intensity.]
[Warning (Tree of the Void): This world is in the notarization stage, and this group has caused significant changes in the native world system notarized by multiple Void Trees. According to the initial regulations, you will be deducted a "huge amount" of Void Trees
