Looking at Yi Yun's exaggerated reaction in confusion, Minuo seemed to understand for a while and said with a smile: "What? Are you also surprised by the richness of this reward? Yes, even if you are awarded the title of Earl of the Empire, you can be promoted immediately
If you enter the highest level of the empire, you can only form a new aristocratic family at most. There are fiefdoms, but they are only twenty or thirty miles of land at most. The empire will grant you a hundred miles of land at a time, but
It is really rare to say that this is the biggest reward feat our empire has received in a hundred years."
The Qiwu Empire has been founded by force since ancient times, with military merit as the top priority. There are not a few families that can own territories of more than a hundred miles, but these can only be obtained after generations of generations have accumulated military achievements for hundreds or even thousands of years.
The four major families in the current empire all have private territories covering hundreds of miles. Among them, the territory of the Lanville family is the largest, covering more than 300 miles, and they are all scattered throughout the Qiwu Empire.
It is said that there are private territories of the Lanville family from south to north and from west to east in the empire. The only difference is the size of the land. Due to the vast area and vast territory of the territory, the Lanville family ranks firmly among the fourth in the empire.
The head of a large family.
But such a large family territory of more than 300 miles was obtained by generations of their family after thousands of years of accumulation of countless military exploits for the empire.
Now, the imperial royal family has given a one-time reward of hundreds of miles of land in Aida Town, which accounts for about one-third of the entire territory of the Lanville family. It is equivalent to the accumulation of three hundred years of military exploits. Such a rich reward has not been received since the Qiwu Empire.
Since the founding of the country, it has been rare to see Mino's comment that it was the greatest reward for the empire in a hundred years. It is not an exaggeration at all, and it is even an exaggeration.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Yun tried his best to calm down and asked without any expression: "Why did the empire choose the territory within a hundred miles of Aida Town as the reward territory?"
"Because it's a land without an owner." Mino didn't notice anything unusual about Yi Yun, and smiled to himself: "The original owner of Aida Town was an ancient weapon-refining family called Start, but this family
The entire clan was wiped out a few years ago, along with more than 2,000 residents in the whole town. The murderer has not yet been found. This tragedy caused a stir throughout the empire and was the largest in the empire in a century.
One of the unsolved cases."
After a pause, Mino continued: "It is rumored that the Start family is an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Its history is older than the empire itself. This family existed long before the founding of our Qiwu Empire.
Hahaha, it’s hard to believe the authenticity of this rumor. Which family can pass it down for thousands of years?
"Now the four major families in my empire were all founded when the empire was founded. They are only inherited for more than a thousand years. They are already the oldest families in the empire. At least as a teacher, I don't believe that there is any family that can surpass it.
The millennium inheritance of these four great families.
"Regardless of the authenticity of this rumor, it is true that this territory has always been owned by the Start family, and all the emperors of our country have admitted this. However, this family was wiped out overnight a few years ago, and no one
The descendants retained it, and this territory has since become an ownerless land. According to the laws of the empire, the ownership of the territory of Aida Town will of course eventually return to the imperial royal family, so it will be used as this Qiwu Demon Fighting Conference.
The greatest reward.”
After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, Yi Yun asked again: "Will many people come to compete for the territory of Aida Town?"
Mino nodded and said matter-of-factly: "Of course! As I said just now, it is rare in the empire to reward Guangda with a territory of hundreds of miles. In addition, Aida Town is located in the northern hub of the empire.
, is a special location that is closest to the empire's northern border fortress except for the large city in the north - Donica City. It has an excellent strategic location, and there is also a living river hundreds of miles long flowing through it. It is fully capable of being built.
All the elements of a big city...
"In fact, as far back as a thousand years ago, the current location of Aida Town was originally a large city. Its size was not even inferior to Qiwu City, the capital of our country today. However, in a country-to-country war, it was invaded by the enemy country from the north.
It was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the Start family, the landowners at the time, could not afford the various expenses to rebuild the city, which was an astonishing astronomical sum, so it was reduced from a big city to a county, and finally to an ordinary town."
After Yi Yun listened to Mino's words, he suddenly fell silent. He had heard Munro say that thousands of years ago, hundreds of miles around Aida Town was a large city with prosperous industry and commerce, and houses were built along the land.
With millions of residents living there, he has never understood why such a prosperous place covering an area of more than a hundred miles could be reduced to just over 2,000 people like Aida Town at that time.
The remote town where the residents lived was originally destroyed in the war between various countries thousands of years ago.
I also heard what Mino said. Before the war was destroyed, the original size of Aida Town was not inferior to that of Qiwu City, the current capital of the empire. It can be seen that only one family can control such a prosperous city.
In the past, the Hisstat family must have been the largest family in the Qiwu Empire at that time, far from being comparable to the four major families in the current empire.
It's a pity that things are unpredictable, and no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will wither. Now I can only recall these things...
Yi Yun's mind was racing with thoughts. After a while, he heard Mino continue to say:
"The reward for the first place in the six-star field group this time is too generous. Not to mention the huge bounty and illustrious reputation that will be received, the title of earl and the reward of a hundred miles of private territory are scary enough. It is undoubtedly the best reward for the empire in the past hundred years.
The biggest reward!
"Therefore, all the students in the major colleges and universities who can reach the six-star field are eager to participate in the competition. Although there are many people who are interested in competing, the ones who can win in the end should be among the four major families in the empire.
Just one."
Yi Yun trembled slightly when he heard this, and immediately thought of the family member whose surname he had abandoned: "The competition has not yet begun, and there are countless experts with six stars or above in various major colleges. Even in the Qiwu Academy, which ranks first in the empire,
The top experts at the front are not necessarily members of these noble families, so why would the teacher guess that the four major families must win in the end?"
Mino took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "It's not a guess, it's a certainty! The four major families in the empire are: Satsuma, Martin, Kemeti and Lanweier. All of these families have an ancestral handbook that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The unique skills of blood inheritance can be practiced by the children of their clan. Among them, the blood children with particularly outstanding talents will of course be much stronger than ordinary demonic martial arts cultivators...
"In terms of the same star level, the blood successor cultivator is definitely the strongest. No one on the mainland will doubt this! As long as among these four major families, there are participating children who can reach the six-star high level, or even
If he reaches the peak level, then he will be the final winner of this Qiwu Demon Fighting Conference."
After a pause, Mino shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Another point is that almost all the children of the four major families in the empire are studying at the Qiwu Royal Academy. The descendants of the bloodline carefully cultivated by these families with huge resources are of course far from ordinary.
Demonic martial arts cultivators who are born are comparable. It is for this reason that the teacher will say that our Tianfeng Academy may be able to compete for four or five stars, but the six-star field grouping will definitely be won by Qiwu Academy.
First."
At the end, Mino added another sentence: "Besides, these four major families will definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity to expand their family territory by hundreds of miles at once, and they will definitely use every possible means to win the final victory.
of!"
Although the four major families in the empire all own hundreds of miles of private family territory, no one would think that their territory is too much. On the contrary, these families regard this Magic Fighting Conference as an excellent opportunity to greatly improve their
For them, their family's influence in the empire is a battle they must not lose. Success or failure will directly affect the general trend of the family for hundreds of years to come.
After hearing this, Yi Yun immediately lowered his head in silence and began to think deeply. Thousands of thoughts went through his mind. After a long time, he suddenly stood up and said, "Teacher, the student has a request!"
After walking out of the gate of Tianfeng Academy, Yi Yun walked quickly towards the city without saying a word. Seeing that his brows were furrowed, Yi Yun obviously felt heavy in his heart.
At this time, Menluo suddenly appeared next to Yi Yun. He was no longer as arrogant as before, and just sighed softly: "I woke up from my sleep for nearly seven thousand years, only to see that the aura of the members of my Stat clan was so ruined and degraded.
I was shocked, and then all the clan members except you were massacred overnight, and now even the ancestral home of the clan, which the family has guarded for thousands of years, will be occupied by others... This is really not what I used to do before I became a weapon spirit.
All that can be imagined, alas~~~!”
Munro had seen with his own eyes the glory of the Start clan in the past, which was as dazzling as the scorching sun in the sky. Compared with the current tragic scene of family destruction and death, he was certainly more touched than Yi Yun!
If the ancestors of the Start family knew something underground, they would definitely jump up from the ground and be angry to death again...
With a sigh, Monroe then asked: "You just asked old man Mino to take another three-month leave. Do you want to return to Aida Town?"
Yi Yun still didn't say a word and just nodded.
"What a pity! Mino will remember your overdue record last time. He did not agree to this request. What are you going to do now?"
It turned out that Yi Yun had just asked Mino for another three months of leave. When Mino asked him, he couldn't give a reason. Since there was no reasonable reason, Mino was determined.
He refused, and got angry because of this, forcing Yi Yun to report to him every other day from now on, and to return to the Demonic Martial Arts Array to continue the magic training course.
Yi Yun now has a headache just because of this!
How can he come up with a reasonable reason? He can't admit to Mino that he was the only survivor of the massacre in Ada Town that day, and the only remaining descendant of the Start family, right?
If he really said that, Mino would not believe it either.
At that time, the empire also tried its best to search for survivors in order to investigate the massacre in Aida Town. For several years, there was no result. The ancient family that had been destroyed for many years now suddenly appeared when the empire announced that it would take back its territory and give separate rewards.
Claiming to be a descendant of his descendants is illogical and difficult for people to accept.
After a while, Yi Yun seemed to have made up his mind, and turned to Munroe and said: "Ever since Aida Town was massacred by the whole town, it has been known as a ghost land, and no one wants to get close to it. But.
Now, the imperial royal family has publicly used this territory as a reward for the winner of the Qiwu Demon Fighting Tournament. This should arouse the curiosity of many people and want to find out...
"There may also be young people like Hanagu among them... I am very concerned about the current situation of Start Manor and the ancestral home. The manor is still the burial place of my grandfather, uncle, and aunt. Maybe
If you are really damaged by these people, you must go back!"
Shaking his head, Yi Yun said firmly: "There is nothing I can do. Even if it makes Teacher Minuo angry, I must go back!"
When Yi Yun returned to Tiefang and was about to take the ball away, he saw Edotu sitting outside the house waiting for him.
"Yi Yun!" When Eduotu saw Yi Yun's return, he immediately shouted in surprise: "I just came here not long ago. I originally expected to wait for another whole day, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
Yi Yun was a little surprised. Eduotu had just come to see him once in the morning. Now it was just after noon, only a few hours later, and he was back again. I wonder what happened this time?
Before Yi Yun could speak, Eduotu immediately said: "I came to you this time for two reasons. The first is to let you know that our family has decided on the second-grade high-level thunder magic weapon.
The auction date is now. The time is just one month later, and the location is in the capital Qiwu City. The Genos family will announce this news to the entire empire tomorrow. I believe it will definitely attract the attention of all the major families...
Speaking of this, Eduotu glanced at Yi Yun and said, "There must be the Lanweier family among them."
As for Yi Yun's request that the Lanwell family must buy the magic weapons at this auction, all the top executives of the Genos family who knew about it, including Edotu, could not understand.
The Lanwell family is one of the four major families in the empire. In terms of the military power in its hands, this family must be at the top of the four major empire families. Anyone with a normal mind will never fight with them.
They are enemies, but I wonder if Yi Yun has any grudges against such a powerful force, so he actually got involved with them?
After hearing this, Yi Yun just smiled slightly: "As I said this morning, you don't need to let me know the details of the operation, as long as the results can satisfy me."
Eduotu hurriedly said after hearing this: "I came here specifically to ask you, Yi Yun, if you have any plans to participate in the magic weapon auction? If you have such intention, my family will arrange an extremely invisible person for you.
The high-rise private box allows you to watch the auction with your own eyes, ensuring that no one else becomes suspicious."
After thinking for a moment, Yi Yun immediately shook his head: "No, I'm not interested in the auction, not to mention I don't have the time. I'm about to go on a long trip again."
"Are you going to travel again? How long will it take this time?" Edotu was startled at first and then asked nervously.
Yi Yun said: "It will probably take about three months."
"...The auction of the magic weapons would have ended long ago. Yi Yun...you...will you come back?"
Seeing Eduotu's nervous expression, Yi Yun smiled bitterly in his heart. He just failed to return after the deadline once, so why didn't everyone have confidence in him? Minuo did, and so did Edotu. It seemed that his credit had gone bankrupt.
Already.
"Yes." Yi Yun smiled slightly and said, "Eduotu, you just said there are two things, what is the other one?"
"This... the second thing is" E Duotu seemed to be hesitant to speak, and after a while he said: "Hey, Yi Yun, don't blame me. The clan leader asked me to come and confirm with you. Once the auction is over,
, do you really have another second-grade high-level thunder-type magic weapon that you can sell to the Genos family?"
It’s no wonder that Genos Patriarch Geo has such doubts. Second-grade high-level magic weapons can only be made by the oldest weapon-refining family in the empire that has been inherited for more than a thousand years, and the refining rate is extremely low. Usually,
It takes several years to produce one, so every magic weapon of this level is closely controlled by these weapon-refining families, and the number is strictly restricted. Naturally, it is marketable and priceless.
Yi Yun's ability to produce a second-grade high-level magic weapon previously shocked Geo. Now that he heard that he could produce a second one, he was naturally deeply confused. He was looking forward to it, but he was also afraid of being hurt.
The mood that is so similar to that of a young girl in love with spring is the best portrayal of Geo, the patriarch of the Genos family.
Yi Yun thought for a moment and immediately guessed Geo's intention of sending Edotu over for confirmation, and said calmly: "Please rest assured, clan leader, if your Genos family can handle this matter to my satisfaction, Yi Yun will certainly
I will also fulfill my previous promise. Please convey these words to your clan leader truthfully."
Yi Yun answered confidently and simply, which calmed Edotu's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air. When he was about to leave to reply to Jiou who was waiting anxiously, Yi Yun called him from behind and just listened to what he said.
: "Eduotu, can you help me with one more thing?"
Eduotu was stunned when he heard this!
…
After Eduotu left, Yi Yun walked into the iron workshop and found Qiuqiu still sleeping peacefully on the bed. He felt a sudden emotion in his heart...
When he went out in the morning, he first experienced a one-on-four ambush. Although he won without any damage in the end, this was also one of the most tragic battles he had experienced so far. If he were not careful, he would die.
fate.
Later, he heard the bad news from Mino that the town of Aida was about to change hands. For this reason, he felt like there was a heavy stone pressing down on him. When he came back, he saw that the little snake was the same as before he went out in the morning.
His face was peacefully sleeping, as if what happened today was all a dream. He sighed: "These days, being a snake that only eats sleep may be happier than being a human being. At least, there will be no worries and sorrows."
…”
Putting Qiuqiu, who was still sleeping on the bed, into his arms, he simply tidied up and went out immediately.
"Boy, I didn't expect that you would ask Edotu to ask Nicole to help you apply for leave from the college. This is just saying goodbye without saying goodbye. Old man Minuo must be very angry, hahaha."
After walking out of the city gate, Munro suddenly smiled at Yi Yun.
Yi Yun still walked forward step by step and said lightly: "What I am most worried about right now is the situation in Aida Town. Although this move will definitely make Teacher Minuo displeased, it is also a necessary decision.
, wait until you come back and apologize to the teacher."
"With your current strength, you are completely unable to prevent the fact that the family territory will change hands. What are your plans to return to Aida Town?"
"...I don't know either. It's just that we have to at least be sure that the integrity of the Stat Manor and that the ancestral home has not been damaged. We can wait until we get back to talk about the rest."
Looking at the seemingly endless road ahead, Yi Yun murmured: "Until now, my most beautiful memories are all in Aida Town, where I have my first home, relatives, and family ties... which are the ones in my heart.
The eternal temple will never allow anyone to trample on her!"
After saying that, Yi Yun walked forward quickly, causing smoke and dust to fly all over the sky. The holy church was also waiting for him...
