"The time is up, the inauguration ceremony begins!"
Pike was wearing the master of ceremonies' clothes, his hair was combed meticulously, and his high voice couldn't hide a trace of excitement.
At this moment, his previous investment has obtained the most lucrative return. The speed of Leylin's promotion has far exceeded his expectations, making him feel like he is dreaming.
Ceremony and music were played together, and Leylin was wearing a magic weapon robe and a golden crown on his head, stepping on the petals on the ground to enter the venue.
At the same time, a terrifying coercion like an ancient giant beast was slowly released from him, and even through his eyes, it seemed as if he could see a phantom of a huge black snake tens of thousands of meters long, stretching across the void.
Morning Star! The genuine power of the morning star made many wizards and warlocks bow their heads humbly to express their respect. There were even a few envoys with gloomy faces, but they were forced to salute by Leylin's aura, and their faces turned red.
"According to the regulations, all morning star warlocks of the Ouroboros Ring will automatically receive the title of Duke after being promoted! Congratulations! Grand Duke Farrell!"
Feisal stepped forward and respectfully held a snake-shaped scepter studded with black diamonds to Leylin.
Leylin took it easily and raised it as a signal.
Many blood warlocks saluted respectfully together: "I have seen Lord Leylin!"
This is the tradition of the Ouroboros Ring, many wizarding organizations also have this rule, but Feisal does it, it means that Leylin has completely subdued the internal forces of the Ouroboros Ring, after seeing this scene, Thoughtful looks flashed in the eyes of the envoys of many forces.
"The ceremony begins!" Pike shouted again after Leylin sat down.
"The Messenger of the Forest of Nature—Louis has seen Duke Leylin!" An old man in a red dress came out first and saluted Leylin.
"My lord's promotion to the morning star is a grand event in our entire central continent. This is a gift from my master!"
The entourage standing behind him immediately lifted the curtain above the tray, and a stone block shining with stars emerged.
"The Stone of the Star Boundary!" "Such a big Star Boundary Stone is really very rare!" "The forest of nature is really bleeding this time!"
There were constant discussions among the surrounding audience.
Leylin, on the other hand, nodded and smiled, very satisfied. This kind of opportunity to receive gifts for free is naturally the more the better.
"This seat has just been promoted to Morning Star, and there is indeed a great demand for the Star Boundary Stone. Thank you, Master, for me!"
Leylin expressed his joy, and the emissary also had a look of joy on his face. He bowed again before retreating.
"My lord duke! I am the envoy of the Feller family, and I present to you a private car specially built for you—the Serpent!"
Another envoy stepped forward and showed Leylin a control core. In the center of the core, a phantom of a private airship could be seen. The slender hull and smooth beauty were vividly expressed through the projection.
"I am determined!" Leylin nodded.
The Feller family is the controller behind the entire airship network, and they have the support of the Sky Throne. It is their tradition to give each newly promoted Morning Star a private airship, so Leylin said: "Thank you, Patriarch Feller, and the Sky Throne for your kindness... "
Seeing that Leylin had understood the meaning, the envoy saluted respectfully, then retreated, and another envoy came out immediately...
The etiquette is very complicated, but Leylin must meet them one by one to show his kindness, which is also very useful for the current Ouroboros Ring.
Leylin always had a warm smile on his face, talking with the numerous envoys, without seeing a trace of impatience.
But at this moment, a long brown-haired wizard wearing a silver-gray robe came out. He also had the vibrations of the Morning Star wizard on his body, and even released it undisguisedly. It was a very rude behavior for Leylin.
"The visitor is not kind!" Leylin narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the wizard.
"Thunder of Jupiter, Collins, I have seen you!" Collins straightened his back, looked directly at Leylin, and looked at Leylin without any fear.
"This Collins is pretty good in Jupiter's Thunder. This is to test the bottom line of Leylin's strength..."
On the other side, Paul held his wine glass and smiled at Philip.
"The strength of Collins is not comparable to that of Ganlier. Do we need to help?" Philip wiped his fists, and his eyes glowed hotly.
"No need! This Duke Leylin is very strong! Don't underestimate him!" A smile appeared in Paul's dead fish eyes.
The atmosphere in the hall seemed to be a bit wrong, all the envoys were staring at the confrontation between the two morning star wizards with bright eyes.
Since it was a celebration, neither Leylin nor Collins went too far. On the surface, they just looked at each other, but in fact, a more dangerous confrontation in the spiritual realm had unknowingly unfolded.
After a few minutes, Collins's confident face gradually faded, and sweat began to emerge.
Seeing this scene, the other morning star wizards seemed to have seen a ghost, but Paul and Philip looked at each other and smiled.
"Hmm!" After a while, Klinsten stepped back a few steps. Although his face remained unchanged, his original aura was completely broken, obviously he suffered a small loss.
However, the original Leylin was still sitting upright, making it hard to see the depth.
"This is a gift from our patriarch!"
Collins didn't dare to raise his head to meet Leylin's eyes anymore, so he could only offer the gift while avoiding the seriousness, and quickly left with an excuse.
But the wizards who watched this confrontation in their eyes became even more eager for Leylin.
The feast lasted until midnight, and after receiving many gifts, Leylin even began to exchange his experience of being promoted to Morning Star.
Since most of the people present were third-level wizards, he was actually imparting knowledge.
Some disadvantages and common sense when building particles were also pointed out by Leylin, which fascinated many third-level wizards. Even some morning star wizards showed thoughtful expressions, and when the meeting ended, there were still some The feeling of nostalgia.
…
After the banquet, Leylin did not choose to rest, but met another guest in the secret room.
"Your Excellency Lanshan King, we meet again!"
With a quiet smile on his face, Leylin looked at the wizard in front of him.
The person who came was of course the Lanshan King. He had the same appearance as the clone, with blue hair and eyes that shone like stars.
The representative of Blue Mountain City this time was not him, but the other party sneaked in sneaking in among the missions. Naturally, he was threatened by Leylin.
"You can just call me Sas!" Blue Mountain King's voice was low, but he obviously didn't intend to look down on Leylin any more.
"Okay, Your Excellency Sass, let's talk about your compensation for my territory first!"
Leylin leaned on the sofa, crossed his hands and fingers, and looked very relaxed. This kind of opportunity to take the initiative to blackmail is very rare.
"Yes! I can compensate for your territories, land, and all kinds of losses, or even double it, as long as you swear not to leak the matter of the star worm!" Sass, the king of the blue mountain, answered very readily. I'm mentally prepared.
He had to give in, because Leylin had already grasped his biggest secret. Once the news got out, the entire Oakheart family might suffer catastrophe, even himself.
Of course, Leylin is very clear about this, but he knows even more that even if the Oakheart family is destroyed and the Blue Mountain King falls, it will not be of any benefit to him. Instead, this kind of blackmail can bring him more benefits !
Therefore, he doesn't mind letting Sass go, of course it must be after the other party has bled heavily.
"Things on the territory can be put aside first, but you destroyed my wizard tower, shouldn't you pay for another one?"
Leylin smiled, with a deep taste on his face.
"No problem! I'll rebuild one according to the original standard immediately!" Lan Shanwang replied very richly.
"Oh! No! No! No! I think you misunderstood..." Leylin shook his index finger: "What I need is a wizard tower that meets my current standards! Do you understand?"
"What..." Seth gasped, and immediately blurted out: "Impossible! You are blackmailing!!!"
Although the configuration of Leylin's previous wizard tower was quite advanced, it was only for level 3 wizards. On the Central Continent, the value of anything involving the morning star would increase exponentially, not to mention the home of the morning star wizards - the wizard tower up!
A morning star-level wizard tower can cost as much as dozens of Leylin's previous wizard towers. Even if he sells his territory, it won't be enough to cover the cost of one of the middle buildings. Leylin's asking price is obviously a big mouth for a lion. To bite off a piece of meat on the Oakheart family.
If Sass' compensation plan was followed, the Oakheart family would have no major losses at all, at most a little blood, but a morning star-level wizard tower? Even if Leylin gave up his other claims for compensation, it would still hurt the entire Oakheart family.
"I'm blackmailing you! Did you just find out now?" Leylin sneered.
"Compared to the leak of the Stardust worm and the erasure of the entire Oakheart family, I think this is already a very cost-effective plan... With the accumulation of your Blue Mountain City, isn't it more than enough to build a wizard tower?"
Being robbed by Leylin, Seth's face was blushing, and he finally gritted his teeth and agreed: "...Okay!"
"That's right!" Leylin's face immediately burst into a smile, and he turned his face so quickly that even Seth felt a little unable to keep up.
"Besides the wizard tower, I don't have any other requirements, as long as you support me in building an astral gate..."
Now that he had figured out the tolerance limit of Sass, Leylin naturally pursued him mercilessly. Anyway, even if he lowered his requirements a little bit now, the other party wouldn't appreciate him. It's better to get all the benefits.
