The drawing room of the Earl's Palace.
After asking the waiters to serve drinks and pastries, Earl Frostwhite waved all the waiters to leave.
There were only six people in the huge living room.
Earl Frost and his uncle.
He had an extraordinary appearance, but no aura could be sensed from his body. He seemed to be just an ordinary young man, with a trace of majesty between his brows.
A female guard wearing black armor and a delicate face stood behind the young man without saying a word.
There are also the two mysterious people, one is plain-looking, the other is wearing a cloak with the hood pulled up, and it can only be vaguely seen that she is a woman.
"This is our boss."
Gray Blade introduced.
Earl Frostwhite's brows jumped.
Boss is a title only reserved for businessmen who are not in the mainstream.
The dignitaries he usually comes into contact with are either the head of a certain family, or they have titles such as Earl, Marquis, etc.
Even the captains of the various legions in the royal capital, unless they are like the "Law Enforcement Corps" and the "Red Legion", are headed by nobles with high status, even if there are those who are stronger than him, Earl Frost and White may not like them. .
This is the view of the nobles of the royal capital.
only,
Faced with the boss mentioned by the mysterious man, Earl Frostwhite did not dare to look down upon him.
The young man who had taken action was too strong, but he was standing respectfully behind the boss. Shuangbai, the owner of the Earl's Mansion, did not dare to sit still. He leaned slightly forward and sat on the chair with his buttocks. edge to show respect.
On the other hand, the young man who couldn't even feel his breath was sitting very casually. The invisible pressure made Earl Frostwhite breathe a little faster.
The two mysterious people are far from their opponents in the Earl's Mansion. Now there is an even more mysterious boss and a guard who seems to be difficult to mess with... If they take action, even if they activate the grand formation in the mansion, they will probably have to do it. Cool.
…
Ten minutes later,
Tang Yu walked out of the living room with a smile on his face.
While looking at the tender green branches in his hands, about one meter long.
It comes from the same source as the twigs I got in Geer City.
"... This treasure was given to me by the royal family when I received the title of earl more than a hundred years ago. There are similar branches in other noble houses. The royal family used to be very generous and not stingy, but in the past thirty years, there has been no Information about which noble was gifted such a treasure by the royal family.”
Recalling Earl Frostwhite's words.
There should be no lies.
He also didn't know the origin of these branches.
But the royal family undoubtedly has a lot.
"Just a twig can be regarded as a treasure."
Tang Yu continued to analyze this twig with his "eye of insight", but still could not trace its origin. However, this twig was thicker and more... fresh than the one harvested in Geer City. Inside The mysterious power contained in it is more than ten times that of the original twig.
All can be used to make a good weapon.
For a while, Tang Yu was a little jealous of the mysterious trees controlled by other nobles and even the royal family.
But he is a civilized man, and we don’t bother to do anything like robbery.
The piece in his hand was given by Earl Frostwhite, and he accepted it without any courtesy.
…
In the reception room,
Earl Frostbai's hands were shaking a little.
"Strong, robber!"
There are only two treasures given by the royal family to the Earl's Mansion. One was given when he was granted the title of earl, and the other was obtained when he made great achievements.
As the core of the Earl's Mansion's protective formation.
The free one was just snatched away.
gone…
Already…
It is well known as a gift.
Earl Frostwhite is also very helpless.
But when he thought of the boss's promise, his heart became hot again.
only,
His hands were still shaking and his feet were shaking.
Neither excited nor angry.
But just now,
When he was about to test the origins of this group of people, the female guard standing behind the mysterious boss suddenly glanced at him.
Just one glance makes you feel like you are in an abyss.
It was as if even the soul was about to leave the body.
Really scary.
So when the ordinary-looking young man later asked to borrow the mysterious branch, he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say no no matter what. He didn't even know how, but he changed from borrowing to giving.
When he thought of the terror of the mysterious man, his heart suddenly became cold again.
Constantly changing between ice and fire.
…
Tang Yu walked out of the inner city and looked at the palace from a distance.
He frowned.
I always feel that something is not coordinated.
"Nancy, how do you feel?"
"Hmm~" She looked over and pondered for a while, "It smells of danger, but don't worry, Lord, I will protect you."
Tang Yu: "..."
Although our strength is a bit weak, but... can you give me some face
Even this time, it was because Nancy broke through to the second level that he walked into the inner city boldly and confidently.
After discussing (po) the cooperation content with Earl Frostbai (xie), Tang Yu learned more about the royal capital.
As a nobleman born and raised in the royal capital, the other party knew much more secrets than Zabol and Zhenxi City.
"Fifty-eight years ago, countless black monsters fell from the sky."
"In less than a month, many cities in various places were submerged by the black wave."
"At that time, there were many powerful people in the royal capital. Under the leadership of His Majesty the current king, they resisted the invasion of the black tide... The first battle lasted for several months, and countless extraordinary people fell."
"Later, the continuous impact of the black tide caused the resisting armies to suffer heavy losses and feel exhausted. Even His Majesty the King seemed to have been injured in a certain battle and had not taken action for decades. "The Eternal "Wall" was also built under such circumstances. "
Tang Yu frowned and thought.
Why was the situation in the royal capital so bad in the early days? After the "Eternal Wall" was built, it suddenly became easier to resist the black tide
Even though the "Eternal Wall" was indeed extraordinary, he still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a specific reason.
boom!
Just after returning to the secret base on the outskirts of the royal capital, I heard a roaring sound in the distance.
Turning around, I saw a city wall as tall as a mountain.
Outside the city wall, many flying dark creatures flapped their wings and swooped down. However, when they approached the "Wall of Eternity", they were enveloped by invisible forces and fell like meteors.
Distantly,
Tang Yu sensed that there were several extraordinary auras outside the city wall.
On the contrary, it is the Eternal Legion stationed on the city wall. It is said that there are less than ten extraordinary strong men.
There is only one extraordinary person stationed on this wall.
That Chaofan didn't take action, he just commanded the legion soldiers and controlled the defensive weapons on the city wall, and the roaring explosions resounded.
This time the Kuroshio's attack lasted for several hours. Finally, after leaving behind countless corpses, the Kuroshio retreated.
Tang Yu couldn't see the specific battle process, so he could make a rough guess based on his perception alone.
"Is it possible that Kuroshio gradually gave up on capturing the royal capital because of repeated attacks with no results?"
"But extraordinary dark creatures should be intelligent..."
The more Tang Yu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why.
then,
He handed over the brain-burning task to Elaine and others.
Anyway, as a lord, isn't it a basic operation to leave your worries to your followers
…
at this time,
In a remote corner of the Aino continent.
Under the dim sky, there is a cracked dead tree, with roots and stems entangled underneath, and traces of the rune array are faintly visible. However, it is a bit messy, as if it has been damaged.
A rune array somewhere suddenly lit up with a dark red light, and disappeared in a flash.
But he was noticed by the figure wearing a black cloak next to him.
"His Majesty the Pope, there is news about the 'most powerful weapon'!"
A figure whose face cannot be seen clearly appears.
The terrifying power distorted the surrounding space, and the place he passed seemed to be divided into two different worlds with him as the center and the outside world.
He stared at the broken magic circle.
Finally,
Looking south, towards the center of the continent.
"I haven't been to the royal capital for a long time."
…
"It's still more comfortable to live in your own castle."
Tang Yu was sitting at the dining table, with a dozen exquisite dishes in front of him, which he had just ordered the chef to cook.
Although he is a good lord who practices diligently and works hard, after all, he is a man with hundreds of millions of source crystals. If he doesn't enjoy it, why make so much money
While tasting the delicious food, based on the follower contract, Gray Blade, Fanny, and Zabol, who are currently staying in the Aino continent, were drawn into the newly formed contract chat group.
With his own territory as a signal base station, messages flowed unimpeded. He could command the work of the royal capital from a distance without leaving home.
"Sure enough, this is the life a lord should live. Compared with the nobles of the royal capital, I am too..."
He browsed the messages in the chat group.
The boss behind the Earl of Frostwhite finally surfaced, and Lorraine and Gray Blade secretly took action to shock him several times, making other nobles think that he was a strong man secretly cultivated by Earl of Frostwhite.
It was enough of a deterrent that most of the nobles were in a wait-and-see state and did not take action.
It is just an entertainment place for earning source crystals, which is also one of the reasons. Even a discerning person can see that Luyin Entertainment City earns a lot of source crystals every day. However, many of the upper-class dignitaries have mines at home. , I don’t really care about an entertainment city.
The person who really moved his mind was that the most powerful person at present was still Duke Morton.
The other two dukes in the royal capital, and even many marquis, seemed to have little interest in the money-spinner of the entertainment city. If it were a real "spiritual space", Tang Yu believed that it would definitely attract more people's attention.
Instead of just one Duke being interested, as now.
He still doesn't know why Duke Morton wants to take over the entertainment city. In addition to the impact on his own industry, as a non-chief, his failure to evolve the top Kun countless times is also an important reason.
"Oh, by the way, there is also Seventeenth Princess Salina. She is also very interested in the entertainment city. She said that if she encounters trouble, she can ask her for help. Her request is also simple. She hopes that we can create more science fiction games. "
Lorraine said in the chat group.
She had been in contact with Selina, and easily got a lot of information from the seventeenth princess.
But it is also because Salina is too young and has limited knowledge of the palace. She has not even met her father, the current King of the Kingdom. It is said that it is because of the large age difference and the generation gap. The current King is at least 800 years old. All.
Tang Yu entered information in the chat group and asked Lorraine to continue to gather information from the Seventeenth Princess.
at the same time,
royal capital,
A figure passed by from low altitude and crashed onto the Wing Corps' station.
The smoke and dust in the pit quickly dispersed, revealing a familiar face.
It's General Dulu from Zhenxi City.
His breath was weak at this time, and most of his body below the chest had disappeared.
There is still an eternal flame attached to his body, which is devouring the last of his life force.
The dying General Duru opened his mouth, "The royal family...has a problem."
With the last faint breath, it completely dissipated.
