Chapter 387

Most of the individual suitors don't have much energy, but when dozens of suitors investigate together, the energy is astonishingly high.

Even the most destitute suitor will have at least three or five subordinates - you don't even have this capital, and you want to marry a baroness with a fief? Go to sleep and have a good dream at night. Powerful suitors such as Connor and Druk even have dozens of subordinates. The dozens of suitors add up to at least three to four hundred men. Although many of these subordinates are of low ability and can only run errands, there are also quite a few who are capable. If they can really work together, not to mention a mere barony, even an ordinary powerful earl, will be caught off guard. , I’m afraid I can’t resist it.

In the past, it was impossible for them to cooperate because they were naturally hostile competitors. But now, at least for the purpose of "investigation", they cooperate.

This group of people all took action, and the power produced was astonishing. Just over an hour later, Druk was the first to get the exact news. Then he spread the news widely according to the established plan. In less than half an hour, all the suitors knew the time and place of the reception.

There is no doubt that when the reception begins, many uninvited "guests" will appear.

"These people are really powerful!" In the study room of the Baron Mansion, after listening to Lafleur's report, Crick smiled slightly and said to Romon, "Although we originally planned to leak the news, their actions are worse than ours. It was much quicker than expected.”

"Those who have the confidence to occupy the magpie's nest must have some ability." Luo Meng sneered, "It's a pity that they are too greedy! It should be noted that the most taboo thing for those who are cheating and cheating is greed. This time, they will be betrayed by their own Greed will kill you!"

They chatted for a while, and Red hurried over with a gloomy face. As soon as he entered the door, he said angrily: "Sir, another one died! That mongrel wolf went too far!"

The smile on Creek's face disappeared, and a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, he sighed and said to Red, "Go and care for that girl's family."

Rhett didn't answer, just looked at him steadily.

Creek understood what his subordinate meant, smiled and said, "Don't worry, just let them wait for a few days. After a few days, I will let them see the wolf's body."

Rhett breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and hurriedly turned around and left.

"Your subordinates are of really good character." Luo Meng, who had been silent just now, praised him. "For such a person, you don't have to worry about betrayal."

"I always believe them." Crick smiled, "As for me, in terms of culture, I can at best make up some bad operas that will make the audience fall asleep; in terms of martial arts, I can probably deal with a group of goblins; in terms of magic, I can only make up some bad operas that will make the audience fall asleep. , being a magic apprentice is probably enough; as for acting, you might think I'm stupid if I work as your assistant... I'm probably just a little confident in politics, that's all."

"You see, I am such a bad person, but I can build Keenland. The key is that I am willing to trust them and give them the positions that best suit them, so that they can give full play to their talents."

Creek said, sighing softly: "What I worry about most about Anna is that she may not be able to continue doing what I do. If Rafael is in charge of the economy, Sean is in charge of intelligence, and Reina is in charge Training troops, letting Rhett take care of diplomacy, and letting Leiden take care of city defense... is simply a nightmare!"

After imagining this situation, Luo Meng couldn't help but laugh: "That's really a tragedy!"

"Yes! The most terrifying leader in the world is the one who is self-righteous and arranges work as he pleases." Crick sighed. "A qualified leader only needs to work hard to understand the talents of his subordinates and put them in a position where they can best use their talents." Once you are in your position, everything else will be easy to handle.”

“It’s easy to say but hard to do.”

"Yeah... it's hard to do!" Creek couldn't help but sigh again.

He is able to do this because he has the ability to travel through time and can directly see other people's attributes. My sister doesn’t have this ability, so how can she do such a thing

Disaster! It’s difficult!

Romon saw that he was in a low mood, so he found a topic to divert his attention: "By the way, Lord Baron, why do you tolerate those guys causing trouble in your territory?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time. Creek was obviously a good lord who valued his territory and people. So, how could he tolerate those bad suitors causing chaos in Keen City? These guys use both soft and hard tactics to drive residents out of their homes and occupy their houses; some use deceit to disrupt public order and affect residents' lives; there are also criminals who simply like to burn, kill and rob; there are even ferocious beasts such as "Griffins" "The Connor Griffin kind of villain who kills for fun.

Ordinarily, with Creek's temper, he should have engaged with these people long ago, and should even have killed a few of them long ago. How could it be that until now, those guys are still alive and well? Will the residents of En City continue to cause trouble

After hearing this, Creek was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "Why don't I know this, but... If you want to take something, you must give it to me first. If you don't let them become careless, I am not sure I can kill them all at once." ah… "

Only then did Romon suddenly realize, and he couldn't help but admire the lord who led Keenland on the road to glory.

As expected of a person who was able to come back alive from that horrific battlefield where even the gods fell. Even though he felt uncomfortable and reluctant to give up, he never showed any mercy when it was time to give up.

His usual harmless and gentle demeanor was obviously not an act. But at the critical moment, he can be so cruel and cold. The contrast between the two makes people feel chilly.

Perhaps, only such a person can lead a family that was originally mediocre and even about to be usurped, to overcome difficulties step by step, make the territory more prosperous, and eventually become famous all over the world...

It's a pity that he is going to die. If he could live another twenty or thirty years, the achievements of the Keen family would definitely not be just a mere baron, viscount, earl... It would even be possible to imitate the Grand Duke of Griffin and split off a piece of the Thunder Principality to form a country. !

pity! such a pity!

Romon couldn't help but sigh again, and then asked: "How do you plan to deal with them? Are you going to borrow my lord's power? Or summon a demon or something?"

It is definitely not an easy task to kill hundreds of people at once, including many masters. Even if a legendary strongman takes action, he may not be able to do it beautifully.

In this world, to do this kind of thing beautifully so that no one can find an opportunity to attack in the future, there are usually two ways - borrowing divine power or borrowing the power of the devil.

If you want to borrow divine power, the power of His Majesty Void Mask is naturally the most reliable. But to be honest, Romon was not sure that he could convince his majesty to lend his power to carry out massacres - in his impression, although his majesty, Mask of the Void, was brave and good at fighting, he was not a cruel and easy-to-kill person. Among those hundreds of people, there must be some whose sins are not worthy of death. With His temper, he might only punish the first culprits. When the time comes, facing those whom He has spared, his position will be a bit embarrassing.

kill? This is tantamount to violating the wishes of the gods and may make His Majesty unhappy.

do not kill? That is tantamount to leaving hidden dangers for the Keen Territory, and it is also the kind that once it breaks out, the entire Keen family may die without a burial place.

In contrast, although borrowing the power of demons is dangerous and terrifying, it is much simpler to deal with. It is nothing more than finding a way to kill the summoned demons and beat them back into the abyss.

Romon is confident that with his own ability and the power to summon His Majesty the Mask of the Void at critical moments, it should not be difficult to do this kind of thing.

But the problem with this is that summoning demons is rather evil. I wonder if Master Creek is willing to do it

Hearing this, Creek smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Whether it's a divine power or a demon, it will leave too obvious traces. I don't plan to use these methods."

"Then what method?" Luo Meng asked curiously.

"Explosion," said Crick.

"Explosion? Detonate the magic crystal?" Luo Meng pondered for a while and advised, "The cost is too high, and the explosion speed of the magic crystal is relatively slow. Maybe someone will be able to escape."

"Magic crystal? I won't use something so mild!" Creek smiled mysteriously, "I have prepared a super powerful explosive, it must be powerful enough!"

"Ah?" Luo Meng was stunned, not understanding what could explode so fast and violently.

"That thing... it took me a lot of time to make it." Creek looked up at the window and sighed deeply, looking a bit sad.

It is indeed not easy.

Just making concentrated nitric acid took a lot of time and energy. Then came glycerin, which also took a lot of time. When the two finally combine, the element of luck is really important!

Fortunately, this thing is relatively simple. He had seen the detailed manufacturing method in a novel that was sealed for death. With the fragmentary information in his memory, he and Master Damweed studied it secretly for a long time. , to create that thing that should not even be named.

Mr. Nobel can prove the danger of that thing. Crick sealed the finished product in an artificially cold environment, and then stored it in a specially ordered and very reliable space bag. He was always careful during the entire process, lest it explode.

He didn't have any special plan for making this thing, and he really didn't think about using it against anyone. He just subconsciously felt that this thing must be of great use. In fact, to be honest, after making it, he found that this thing It's really of no use in this world. In terms of power, it is no more powerful than the magic crystal explosion, and it is more troublesome to detonate, and more difficult to store and produce. No wonder magic crystals are also used to explode rocks in this world. No one has ever thought of inventing this.

But... for this occasion, this thing is perfect!

The explosion is fast, powerful, and has no magic reaction at all, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.

The most important thing is that in this world, the only one who truly understands its principles is himself. Even Master Damweide only knows this but does not know why. After using it this time, when he dies, Master Damweed will live in the Mask of the Void amusement park again. No matter how powerful others are, they will never be able to find out what happened!

It's a pity that this great invention that promoted the development of an era on earth is just a flash in the pan in this world.

It will be a very beautiful flower, a flower of victory that annihilates evil!
