Burning Ashes
Chapter 94
Seagull Hotel, Hessian islands.
Beside Meles, the two maidens fell asleep. There was no sign of joy or anger on his face, and when he heard of Brian''s death, he didn''t even drop two cups to vent his anger.
Madder stood on the ground, terrified.
"Got it?"
"Yes, Annie took it with her and went back to the sunflower."
"This mission is quite confidential, and few in the family know the location of the site. I will report the matter to the police for investigation. You can do a few things now. "
"Well."
"Brian has two sons, the older, to the Knights and the younger to the mage tower. Be sure to let the mage tower accept him and use up my favor. Seeing that madder didn''t leave, Meles patted the sleeping girl''s ass and asked, "what, are you going to come?"
"Why not take over Chu City? He can kill Brian head-on, and he''s a talent. "
"How did he know the secret of the ruins? There must be someone behind him. What''s the use of subduing him? Are there many nails in the family? " Meles rubbed his brow and said, "that''s it. I''ll talk to the Duke."
Madder left, and Myers, with a look of decadence, went to bed and didn''t want to get up.
Fortunately, what the family wanted was found. Otherwise, my mistake this time would be enough to lose the position of captain. To win over the city of Chu? How can it be? Only the temple dares to accept the alien people in Chu city.
People in different circles do not have good faith. They only talk about interests and turn their backs when they say they are upset.
On this side of Chu City, four people boarded the shire, which was the merchant ship of count Nikolay, who was a powerful Lord in the north of the land of gods. The family territory is huge, with vast forests, a large number of coal mines and a variety of gemstones.
Although he was a count, he was only a little inferior to the Duke in the holy empire. In terms of strength, it is no less than the four Dukes of the holy empire.
The shire, with her fleet, was coming down the coast from the north, and was almost at her destination.
They''re going to stop in the middle of the land of gods, sell the goods they''re transporting, and then buy them here and transport them back to the northern part of the continent. This is a relatively busy route, of course, there will be many pirates coveted. However, the ship is also a powerful magic ship, naturally not afraid of any pirate attack.
Chu Cheng and others had three Temple badges on their bodies. After the ship''s personnel checked and reported the matter, Chu city was taken to a luxurious cabin.
The floor of this cabin is equipped with an environment type magic array. On the sea, there is a moist sea breeze blowing, and the cabin is still dry. There are carpets made of Warcraft skin on the floor. There are bookcases attached to the wall. There are many books piled on the bookcases. They are not for display. They should be frequently looked at when they look at the status of books.
Sitting in front of the bookshelf was a magician in his twenties, wearing a white magic robe.
When Chu city came in, the magician stood up and welcomed him.
"I''m Nicholas don, Jr., Mr. necromancer. Welcome to my shire."
"I''m Chu Cheng, an adventurer from the alien world." Chu city is straightforward, revealing his identity.
"Are you from China?" Little Nikolay asked Chu to sit down, opened a bottle of wine and poured it to him. At the same time, he cast a poison detection magic on the glass.
"I come from the sun, and I come down there."
"That''s a pity. I thought I could talk to you about the Chinese mainland. But it doesn''t matter. You and your companions are welcome Little Nikolay was gentle and had no aristocratic airs.
Chu city''s heart is clear, if he was born in the mainland of China, how could he have a four step Aurora badge.
But chatting, the most afraid to talk about the topic to death.
"Xiao Chu, so you came to the land of gods to seek a family background?"
"That''s right, Nick. I''ve put all my money into my family to get a hereditary aristocracy. In any case, the integration of the two worlds is inevitable. I have to plan for my children and grandchildren. "
"I can help you with this..." Little Nikolay pauses.
"What am I going to do?" Chu City did not turn around. This little Nikolai was ambitious and did not drag his feet. He could communicate with each other.
Little Nikolay took out a piece of paper, brushed it with a magic pen, and drew a map.
"This is the holy Empire, this is our family territory. Then this is the Duchy of Maggie. I want you to be a baron in this position. The Mahatma duchy is now in chaos. His Highness has been unable to suppress the ambition of the nobles in the duchy. He is short of money. As long as you are willing to spend money, the status is not a problem, or the territory is not very good. "
Pointing to a place near the sea, little Nikolai said, "this is mainly mountainous area. Although there are rivers flowing into the sea, it is not a good channel. The whole territory is not small. The problem is that there is little arable land. It can feed three or five thousand people."
"The empire is going to do something against the Duchy of Maggie?"
Little Nikolay looked at Chu City for a while and said with a smile, "I''m just guessing that if the war doesn''t break out, you''ll lose.""What if it broke out?"
"I want to borrow your territory, hide 500 soldiers, and then go south to attack kuono city. From this position down, but a dangerous road, but the distance is very close, can surprise attack. When it''s done, I will not only reward you with Kuo Yeh City, but also divide a territory for you in the north. In that case, you, the Baron, can raise more than 100000 people. "
Seeing Chu City pondering, little nigra said: "I''ve been looking for people to buy this territory. I didn''t have a sudden plan. If it does, our family can be promoted to the Duke. At that time, you will be my internal agent. Naturally, you can become the hereditary Baron of the holy empire. Although you are also a baron, your status will be much worse. "
"How can you trust me?"
"Why trust you, everyone''s interest exchange. You are an alien. You are the same to whom you turn to. You have the status of a sacred empire. It is a good choice for your children and grandchildren. Your territory is really not very good, but with the broad-leaved city and the surrounding cultivated land, others will only envy them. "
"But there is no port."
"You can build it yourself."
"It''s not a good location on land, and if there is a port, no one will come to do business."
"You can build a fleet. After that, I''ll leave it to you to protect my private caravan. Don''t think it''s good to make ends meet. Take a long view. If you go to war with China, your port will be valuable. If there is no war, you are an alien. You can open up your own routes and go to China to do business. "
Chu City meditation, little Nikolay is an interesting person, but also difficult to say. If he takes advantage of himself, it is not impossible to swallow himself again. After all, it needs an outsider to buy aristocratic status. Those who are related to the holy empire are obviously unqualified. No matter how stupid Mahatma is, he can''t canonize a man of the holy Empire, right?
"Holy Empire, what''s your attitude towards the necromancer?" Chu city or asked this sentence, do not ask, little Nikolai may not be at ease with him.
"What attitude can you have? Don''t make trouble. Sometimes war depends on the necromancer. I have two friends, both Necromancers. Xiao Chu, you have to understand that fighting and taking risks are not the same thing. When I need you in the future, I will let you destroy the morale rather than attack them. "
As soon as Chu City heard, he knew that little Nikolay was a man who could fight.
Necromancer is really powerful and can summon the undead endlessly. But what about the purification magic? Finally, the magic? Then you can compete with each other''s mages.
But at the critical moment, let the necromancer mend the sword and summon the battlefield corpse to join the battle, which will make the enemy''s morale collapse quickly.
The problem is that the smarter little Nikolay is, the more Chu City has to guard against him.
"I agree, but in terms of territory construction, I have to build magic tower and white bone cemetery."
"White bone cemetery?" Little Nikolay frowned.
"It''s mainly about making zombies. There are a lot of broken places you''ve given me. Let the farmers do it. I don''t even have time to plant land. What can I do for tax?"
"OK, but don''t make anything too eye-catching. If you go more than 300 miles north, beyond the area under my control, there will be a temple of light."
"Don''t worry. When I settle down, I will go to the temple of light and donate some money to them."
"That''s good!" Little Nikolay is a little bit more at ease. This Chu city is quite capable of doing things. Although the alien is not reliable, it can be used as long as it is willing to take root.
"And I have to go to the dawn temple, white coral city."
Little Nikolay glanced at his Aurora badge and said, "I''ll send you over. It''s not convenient for you to hire a carriage."
Then he remembered that the identity of the other party might be more special.
"Don''t worry, the temple won''t take care of me and your affairs, as long as I''m willing." The city of Chu comforts little Nikolai.
"White coral city is to the south. After you''ve been there, you can go back to Princess Maggie directly. I''ll arrange for you to meet the Duke. Is two months enough to go back and forth? If you get your identity settled and go back to your territory, you can just recruit enough people. As long as your noble status is OK, you can rest assured of their loyalty even though they are sent by me. " Little Nicholas was afraid that Chu would not understand the rules of the world, so he explained it to him.
He arranged for dozens of soldiers, all of them trained at his own expense. Now give it to Chu city. It''s an investment sentiment.
But these soldiers were not born in his hands, they were just ordinary people. Only after Chu City could they be regarded as the regular army under the noble lords. As long as they join the family army of Chu City, they will not betray.
