That night, Liam tossed and turned on the bed in the bedroom, filled with doubts. Has she been caught by the old Viscount? Is Kate, who secretly protected him, dead or alive? Does the old Viscount have any hidden methods? What is the purpose of attacking Jiao Li?
?
Open your palm, and the skull butterfly lies quietly in it.
"What is the purpose of this old guy doing so much?" Liam never believed that the other party's purpose was just to urge him to speed up his practice, but judging from the other party's words and actions, his purpose seemed to be this.
"No, it can't be that simple."
Half a month ago, the book came from Mayor Duran, the book that recorded all the strange things that happened to Joshua before he came to the throne, and the taboo book that recorded the rapid aging and abnormal personality of all Joshua.
There is definitely a secret hidden here, and this secret directly affected all the previous viscounts, making them weird, perverted, and even terrifying.
Thinking of this, Liam felt as if he had touched the edge of the secret. The hazy truth was right in front of him, and there was only a hint of key information missing to clear the air.
But this crucial information is the most rare medium.
"Huh." After exhaling a breath, Liam performed the "quiet mind technique" on himself. His irritable mood gradually calmed down, and his chaotic thoughts gradually cleared away.
"Joshua's secret is not important to me. The key is that he is dangerous. I was lucky and wanted to get along with him before, but now it seems." Liam looked out the window, in the dark night sky
In the middle, the bright moon is obscured by dark clouds, and the stars flicker brightly and dimly. "I must succeed to the throne as soon as possible."
Having made up his mind, Liam no longer hesitated and lay down again, but in his mind he was thinking about how to make the old Viscount die unexpectedly and suddenly.
The next day, Liam set off early. Before leaving, he asked the maid to inform the old Viscount that he was going to Lando to hand over his duties and would not be coming back in the next few days.
In response, the old Viscount just nodded and rushed into the study.
As the carriage drove on a bumpy road, Andrew, who was in charge of driving, took a deep breath. He slept late last night and woke up early this morning, and his spirit had not fully recovered from fatigue.
Surrounding the carriage were the attendants who followed on horseback. They were dressed loosely and lacked the spirit that a knight should have.
Liam sat cross-legged in the carriage with his eyes closed, and the "Book of the Dead" was quietly turning in the pupil of his left eye.
Although it is impossible to learn more advanced magic and magic circles, it is good after all to learn more about rituals and increase knowledge about sacrifices and rituals during the break.
When the carriage drove onto the flat continent, with only ten minutes left from Landu City, Liam slowly opened his eyes, lifted the curtain that blocked the light, and looked outside.
On the roadside, there is an endless stream of traders pulling goods with oxen. They are merchants from the surrounding cities or towns. They rush to the city to occupy a position before noon. If they are lucky enough to be favored by a caravan, they will not have to wait for half a month.
You have worked so hard to go out and hawk, but if you are unlucky, you will have to get up early tomorrow to drive and hawk.
The Chamber of Commerce is the main economic entity of this city, and many surrounding nobles have coveted it for a long time. Whoever controls the Chamber of Commerce will control the entire Lando City.
After two months of hard work at all costs, Liam only got a "C" seat in the Chamber of Commerce. (The Chamber of Commerce is divided into A "lord status", B "viscount status", and C "status that money can buy".
).
The carriage drove into the city, and did not go directly to the Chamber of Commerce. Instead, it went to a small restaurant. The carriage was parked in the backyard, and the person in charge of receiving it was an old man with gray hair.
The old man has an unattractive appearance, with a flattering face and a stooped body.
"Sir, you are here." The old man said respectfully.
Liam nodded, "What's the news?"
When the old man saw the back door closed, he whispered: "From early last night to this morning, three waves of people have been sent out to investigate. I believe they will be back in the afternoon."
Liam nodded, "Prepare some food for the brothers first, and then you go to the Chamber of Commerce with me after dinner."
"Me?" The old man was a little surprised.
"That's right." Liam opened the door and walked up the stairs, the old man following closely.
"Only if you manage the Dragon Teeth Knights, I can rest assured." Liam pushed open the door, and the little old man followed behind and closed the door.
"Sir, you know who the Dragon Teeth Knights are. Although I am the leader in name, they don't listen to me. If you hadn't been suppressing them, they would have...
"The old man said awkwardly.
Liam sat on the chair, poured himself a glass of water, raised his head and drank it. His dry throat was much better.
"Nocas, do you know why I have supported you to this point?" Liam put down the cup and looked at him quietly.
Those brown eyes were as calm as a clear water. The calmer they were, the more Nocas trembled, and he swallowed hard.
"I pulled you back from the hands of death to raise a loyal dog. I don't need you to bite people. I just want you to guard the door. During the period when I left the Dragon Teeth Knights, anyone who dares to stir up trouble will
, those who intend to divide are all your responsibility to resolve."
"Sir, I..."
Liam raised his hand and stopped the other person's next words, "I will give you a helper. With it, no one can threaten your safety. However, you have to understand that from the day I save you, I will never
There is no turning back.”
Nocas fell to his knees on the ground, grabbing the ground with his head, and burst into tears, "If I didn't have a master, I would have died long ago. If I didn't have a master, I would be worse than a wild dog. Master, your orders are everything to me. Up and down the mountain of swords."
Sea of fire, die without regrets."
"Nocas, I don't need you to go through mountains of swords or seas of fire. I just want you to watch the door and don't let anyone poach you." Liam took out a phalanx from his arms and pushed it towards him, "You can use this thing.
Find the helper I spoke of, and with it, you will be safe."
Nocas took it respectfully, wiped his tears, and looked at the strange item, "Master, how should I use this thing?"
"It's very simple, just recite my Lord's name silently."
"What is your Lord's name?"
"The king who walks between life and death, who holds the power of reincarnation, the saint who transcends the world, the supreme being from the outside world, please grant your faithful servant grace, and I will sing your praises forever." Liam clasped his hands in front of his chest.
, said solemnly.
Hearing this, Nocas shivered even more fiercely. His fear was no longer limited to death, but trembling from the depths of his soul.
This is a sacrificial ceremony. This is a sacrificial ceremony to a great mysterious being. Every great being is extraordinary above all living beings. There can be no mistakes in any ritual words. Once there is a mistake, it may attract other people.
The gaze of existence, and the gaze of God, can only lead to mental collapse or death for mortals.
His right eye was narrowed. Under the "curtain"'s gaze, the other person's aura was full of fear, and there was no trace of resistance. "The nonsense ritual words in the name of my successor to the God of Death can still bluff people."
"Thinking of this, I felt secretly proud.
The "Book of the Dead" records that rituals are a way to pray to unknown beings. It is usually necessary to prepare spiritual objects that the being likes, and then recite the ritual words of the being to achieve soul communication beyond the body. Of course, the premise is that the being notices
This supplicant, and grant grace.
This is equivalent to dialing. You must have a mobile phone, a card must be inserted into the phone, money must be on the card, the number dialed must be correct, and the other party must be available. If one step is wrong, it will fail.
The only function of the ritual words I said to Nocas was to unlock the code of the finger bones, and the finger bones were part of Little Happy's body. When he felt the call, it was natural that I felt it too.
Liam felt quite embarrassed when he thought of little Happy's resentful expression. (When Liam became the successor of the Death God, the expressions and emotions of his family members could be detected, even if it was a skull.).
"Stand up." Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Liam was ready to give the other party a reassurance. As the saying goes, a slap in the face will give you a sweet date.
Nocas was shaking so hard that he reluctantly sat on the chair opposite him, his face as golden as paper.
"From today on, you and I are all members of the same religion, working together for the master's great revival."
"yes...."
"Well, if nothing happens, just go down and get ready."
"Um...Lord...sir, what is the name of our church?"
Liam was stunned for a moment, and then secretly cursed himself for being stupid. He had already thought of the words for the ceremony, but he didn't think of giving his church a name. "Well...it's called 'The Omnipotent Cult'."
"'Omnipotent Sect'... is such a domineering name."
"Isn't it..." Liam smiled in agreement. After all, this religion was once printed on one yuan...
After the meal, the two drove to the Chamber of Commerce. The beautiful girl in charge of the reception introduced the two to the person in charge. After both parties confirmed that there was no problem with the transfer agreement, they signed the agreement.
From this moment on, all commercial rights belonging to Liam were transferred to Nocas, including mineral mining, trade taxation, land transfer, leasing, construction and other rights.
It can be said that Nocas has all the commercial rights in Ketland. As long as the owner agrees, he can even sell half of the Ketland real estate. This right directly touches the interests of the nobles. However, the signatory is the future viscount. So
This unequal agreement was signed successfully.
Liam did not feel relaxed after handing over his financial resources to Nocas, because there were other things waiting for him.
"Sir, I just received news that the lord wants to see you alone."
Five minutes ago, Nocas quietly conveyed the message to him and left the Chamber of Commerce. Liam immediately got on the carriage and went to No. 44 Red Rose Street.
Lord of Landu City, this man controls the economic lifeline of the city and enjoys a high voice in the Kingdom of Berg. He is truly a big shot.
Liam sat in the carriage, feeling confused and anxious, as information about this lord kept popping up in his mind.
It was a long list of names, and each name represented his rights.
"Baron Kalka, Baron Brandy, Viscount Camille, Viscount Noston, Lord of Lando City—Kuchel Moretti." Liam exhaled and couldn't figure out why such an adult would
Want to see yourself?
While he was thinking to himself, the carriage stopped and Nocas opened the door.
"Sir, we're here."
The dirty roads, dim environment, and damp walls nourished countless moss plants. The burly men stood at the door, glaring angrily at the young man in front of them, as well as the trembling white-haired old man.
"Two adults, we were invited by the lord, specifically..."
One of the men interrupted the other man rudely, "Identification documents."
"Here it is, please take a look." Nocas quickly took out a small object, which was a golden lion's head medal.
The two of them looked at each other, said no more, and moved to both sides to make way.
Nocas nodded and bowed to say thank you, and moved forward to open the door, but Liam who was following behind was stopped.
"One certificate, one person." The man said in an indifferent tone.
Liam and Nocas looked at each other, and the latter stepped back and handed the ID to the other person.
Liam waved his ID at the other party and said, "Lead the way."
One of the men turned around and opened the door, and a damp and fishy smell hit his face.
Liam squinted slightly, and the curtain in his right eye was quietly released. Countless colors were mixed in, with black accounting for the majority.
"Magic circle?" This small place really has a hidden secret. There is a defensive magic circle at the entrance, and it looks like a black magic circle.
Without keeping the man waiting, Liam followed him into the house, and the wooden door suddenly closed behind him.
