Chapter 224 Shadow, Villa

On the third day after arriving in De Klein, Joelle was canonized as a princess.Of course not as the daughter of the lord, but as the daughter of the lord's deceased brother.

A new princess, beautiful, cute and kind.In addition, in Wanguolin, the princess does not have any real power, nor does she have anything within the fiefdom, so she does not offend anyone's interests, so the nobles are very proud of themselves.

As a princess, naturally she cannot live outside.So Joelle moved to live in the palace.

Considering that the lord might want to get closer to Joelle, and the princesses here don't have any requirements such as foot restraints, they can freely enter and leave the palace and city, so Wu Zhi has no objection.

Then, another week passed.Wu Zhi was also canonized as Earl of De Klein.

Then there are matters such as site selection and construction of the Earl's Mansion.

In the royal city, basically every piece of land in the noble district has a name and surname. Wu Zhichu has just arrived, and there is no way to get the mansion.Plus the nearly [-] people under his command, plus the servants, maids, cooks, butlers, etc. that will be needed in the future.The slightly smaller mansion really couldn't accommodate it.

Therefore, we can only find a way outside the royal city.

Fortunately, after some inquiries, Esbell found out that there was a dilapidated villa on a mountain 3000 meters away from the royal city.

It is said that the villa was built by a marquis a hundred years ago.Later, the earl was purged in the political struggle because of something that offended the king.So the villa was vacant, and it is now the king's property.

Of course, this is not the case.It was just a manor on a mountain, too far away from the royal city, and a bit remote, so no one had any idea about the manor, and it had been vacant for a hundred years.

But for Wu Zhi, staying in the king's city was restricted everywhere, and he had too many secrets, so it was not as comfortable as staying away from the crowd.

After learning that the manor was just dilapidated and could be lived in after a little repair, he asked the king to buy the manor, and then bought the hill together with the manor at a price of 150 million gold coins.

It was just a mountain villa with a small area, and Wu Zhi was only using it as a mansion, so the king readily agreed.

When Wu Zhi came out from the palace, he was about to go to the palace to buy some servants like servants and maids, and at the same time he was going to hire a group of people to repair the manor on the mountain. Just as he was trying to figure it out, he was surrounded by a group of guards. A young man on a tall horse stopped him.

This young man has blond curly hair and broken golden pupils. The first impression he gives is that he is handsome and handsome. Every line on his face seems to be carefully shaped by a craftsman, which actually gives people a perfect feeling!

The young man dismounted and walked in front of Wu Zhi with a slight smile, "Earl Vijay. What a coincidence, I saw His Excellency Vijay just after returning to the palace."

Wu Zhi had seen this young man on the day of the canonization ceremony, and knew that he was the king's only son, Prius who also had the blood of the Averyles royal family.

"His Royal Highness." Wu Zhi performed a casual etiquette, making no effort to hide his perfunctory intention.He is not a politician or a hypocritical aristocrat who is steeped in this way, even if he is asked to pretend to be enthusiastic, he can't pretend to be enthusiastic, so he can simply be true to himself.

Wu Zhi didn't have a good impression of the prince Lai Yading had mentioned.

"Haha, Your Excellency Vijay seems to have misunderstood me." The prince still had a standard smile on his face, and even the upward curve of his mouth was as standard as a textbook: "I heard that your Excellency bought a manor outside the royal city. ? Haha, I have heard about that manor too, and I heard that it is dilapidated, and I happen to have a professional team here, which can be lent to you."

"Oh?" Wu Zhi gave him a serious look: "Thank you then. It just so happened that I was worrying about this matter."

Since there are ready-made ones, Wu Zhi is not hesitant to show a smile.Just save trouble.The prince smiled, chatted a little more, and then the two separated.

At the moment of the wrong body, the corner of the prince's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a trace of coldness.

Wu Zhi's smile also subsided, and he let out a cold snort that only he could hear.

Leaving the palace, we went around the slave market.

In Wan Guolin, and even in the mainland, slaves are legal. Of course, ordinary people are not allowed to own slaves. Only nobles, professionals and a series of dignified people are allowed to own slaves.

Of course, these were not problems for Wu Zhi.He is not only a master-level swordsman, but also an earl officially recognized by De Klein, so it is completely legal to buy some maids and servants in the mansion.

After strolling around the slave market, dozens of people followed Wu Zhi.Including thirty maids, twenty servants, and five cooks.

As for other housekeepers, guards and guards, there is no need for them.Esbell can be the housekeeper, but as for the eighty warriors of the guarding tribe, they don't have nothing to eat.

After taking the slave contracts of these people, Wu Zhi bought ten more carriages in the royal city to facilitate travel, and then he took the craftsmen given to him by the prince and ran to the villa in a mighty manner.

a month later.

It took half a month for the manor on the mountain to finally be repaired.The manor isn't big, but it's not small either. It's no problem to accommodate two or 300 people.

Return those artisans to Prius.Wu Zhi invited the prince to a banquet at the best hotel in Wangcheng to express his gratitude.The relationship between the two is at least a little closer.

In the past month or so, Wan Guolin's situation has also undergone drastic changes.

Originally, because of the severance of the sea route, the atmosphere of the entire Wan Guolin was in a very tense atmosphere.They looked at each other but did not dare to act rashly.Because as long as anyone with a little IQ knows, the reason why Wan Guolin has maintained this strange and peaceful situation for thousands of years is mainly due to the restrictions of those powerful forces in the interior!

Otherwise, how could there be no major wars for hundreds of years in this kind of place where you squeeze each other, and frictions and conflicts can occur between countries if you are not careful?
Apparently, almost two months had passed, and the beast on the sea still had no intention of leaving.It looks like he wants to guard until the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, and he will directly take that piece of sea as his home.

But at such a time, the leader of Yizhao Country, one of the five great powers, was assassinated to death!

Yi Zhaoguo's big piece of fat was immediately exposed naked in front of everyone, and the hungry wolves showed their salivating eyes, wanting to take a bite.The ambitious ones even try to swallow it in one gulp.

All major powers can still restrain themselves and wait and see rationally.But those small countries could no longer bear the temptation and showed their fangs!
The sons of the king of Yizhao Kingdom are all idiots. After the death of the king, they fought for the throne. All kinds of methods emerged one after another. Coupled with the participation of some dignitaries in the country, the whole country was a mess!
The main city has a powerhouse of the level of Sodmen sitting in it. Even if it is in chaos, those small countries dare not offend, but the other small cities and villages have become their targets.

Now centering on the territory of Yizhao Country, it can be said that a pack of wolves are rising together, looking around.When the hungry wolves saw someone pulling out the thread and eating the fat, they became even crazier. Even some countries that had kept calm and rational began to lose control.

Chaos originally only existed around Yizhao Country, but as time passed, it gradually began to spread.

This land has been peaceful for too long!

It's like a fierce tiger that has been kept in a cage for many years and tied with ropes, but if it is put back in the mountains and the shackles are released, it will find its wildness extremely quickly!
Just like dominoes, when the first domino is gently pushed down, the subsequent development has already started at an extremely fast speed.

Of course, although it can be said that the chaos in Wan Guolin cannot be separated from Wu Zhi from the beginning to the end, it has nothing to do with him.

In the villa, Wu Zhi was sitting in the study, in front of him was a cold man wearing a cape and a hoodie.

The man was leaning against the wall, playing with a delicate knife in his hand, the knife was spinning and jumping in his hand, like a naughty little fish, but the cold light flashed by the blade made people shudder.

"It's been more than a month, how is your side?" Wu Zhi glanced at the man and asked softly.

"It's not bad. Wei En and I spent five days integrating the underground forces of a sub-city of De Klein, and then marched into the main city. But the underground forces of the main city are intervened by some powerful and noble people, even I also saw the figure of a certain prince."

This man is Tai Long, the Shadow of the Blade. He smiled and said indifferently: "However, this is all trivial. Now I have integrated all the underground forces in this main city and that secondary city. Take one character from each of the titles of En, and name them 'Shadow'."

"En. Then have you collected all the information I asked you to collect?"

"Small idea."

The Shadow of the Blade smiled, and then said: "De Klein came to Wan Guolin more than 960 years ago. He claimed to be a dilapidated family in the inland political struggle, and led his retainers to flee to Wan Guolin. First, he hid in a small country In 32 years, various conspiracies were carefully planned, and then the small country was annexed in one fell swoop, and then the name of the country was changed to De Klein."

"After that, they used various methods to annex small countries one after another to strengthen themselves. I suspect that the country they were lurking at that time was also the result of careful planning, so once it broke out, it became one of the forests of all nations with the momentum of thunder. A force that cannot be ignored."

"When some powerful countries at the time noticed, De Klein's national strength was enough to threaten them. At that time, the country that was the last of the five powers to fight against it, was defeated by it, and became a new One of the five powers."

"Just when other countries were worried that De Klein would continue to expand and began to prepare for a joint crusade, De Klein retreated bravely and began to make friends with other countries. And he had no intention of expanding abroad, so the situation stabilized. continued until now.”

"De Klein has a good relationship with other countries, but it seems that because of some conflicts a long time ago and the fact that it is not far from Yizhao Country, these two countries have always been hostile."

"De Klein's current ruler is Kosput, who succeeded to the throne 20 years ago. He has one son and two daughters. The eldest prince Prius, the second princess Barbara, and the third princess Maria."

"Prince Prius has a gentle personality and is upright. Of course, this is a rumor among the people. It is said that according to private investigations, this prince has too many twists and turns in the dark. It seems that he is not a good man and a faithful woman."

"The second princess, Barbara, has a kind and gentle personality. But a year ago, when Barbara went on an outing, she was taken away by a group of unidentified people. It seems a bit tricky that the king of Yizhao Kingdom stays in the palace."

"The third princess, Maria, has a bad personality, arrogant, irritable, and jealous. And her private life is very promiscuous."

After a pause, Tyrone added: "According to some uncertain sources, the king's family does not seem to be clear about the fact that Barbara was trapped in Izhao Kingdom, they just deliberately concealed it, and they are not even willing to admit that Barbara La’s identity, after all, Miss Barbara is the ruler of the Izhao Kingdom, so the king is unwilling to make this scandal public, and simply pretends not to know.”

Wu Zhi was slightly taken aback when he heard this: "No way? When the father and daughter met before, the king seemed sincere. Could it be that he was acting?"

"It's just gossip that I'm not sure if it's true or not. I'm not sure if it's true or not." Tai Long said, and then shared some information about the nobles in the Kingdom of De Klein that he had inquired about.

"Shadow has just been established, and now they are all low-level gangsters like rogues, and the news they get is something that the public can know after careful inquiry, but the adults have just come here, so it must be useful. Give me another three months In just a few minutes, I can let the shadows seep into every corner of the royal city."

Wu Zhi nodded: "The news is precious enough. By the way, you should pay attention to the news about Ruo Laier. She is alone in the royal city. If anything happens, I will leave it to you to protect her."

"Don't worry, my lord."

As a princess, Jolaier now lives in the palace most of the time.Of course, Wu Zhi sent ten tribal fighters and Tai Nuo to protect Jo Laer, these are completely loyal subordinates, unless they encounter an irresistible and powerful enemy, Jo Lair will have absolutely no security problems.What's more, as a descendant of the Averyles royal family, if Laier is under the protection of the king, there shouldn't be any problems.

"By the way, my lord. Miss Joelle has been communicating very closely with Miss Barbara during this time, and Miss Barbara doesn't seem to be in a very good spirit, and she had a serious illness some time ago."

"Barbara? I guess it's emotional ups and downs and the body can't bear it. Well, I understand, you go back, I will contact you with Twin Flowers if there is anything."

"Yes."

Tai Long smiled slightly, the cloak flashed, and then disappeared from the room, only the door was closing gently.

three days later.

This manor is built on the hillside, and when you look around, it is full of lush greenery.In the early morning, there are still clouds and mist around the villa, and as the sun shines through the mist, the sounds of birds come and go, like an ensemble.

The maids and servant girls in the villa got busy, and it was a bustling scene early in the morning.Wu Zhi couldn't help sighing a little when he saw it, he was just a college student nerd with nowhere to go, if he was on earth, he would probably spend his whole life busy buying a house and needing a mortgage.But now, this kind of paradise-like wild villa is readily available, and the life and death of the maids and servants in the manor are all in his mind.

If we were on Earth, how could we ever have imagined that this would be the case?

He stood on a large solid cliff protruding from the mountain, which had been cleaned up and covered with fine green bricks.Only Wu Zhiyi is brave enough to practice here every day, and the other maids and servants are terrified every time they come here to clean.

Here, probably due to the environment, whether it is cultivating spiritual power or fighting qi, I feel more comfortable than usual.

Coupled with the perception of the rest of his life after several catastrophes, his current fighting spirit and spiritual power have reached the peak of the seventh level, and he feels that as long as there is an opportunity, he can break through that barrier and reach the eighth level!
Grade eight!

This can be said to be a very important level.Wu Zhi also has great expectations!
First, if he can reach level eight, then according to the rules of the system, the maximum level of the heroes he permanently summons can reach level eleven!
In other words, Galen and Lux ​​that he summoned first can almost directly upgrade to level eleven!Become Sword Soul and Magister!

Before the eleventh level, at most, it was just an ordinary strong man.But at the eleventh level, you can be considered a real powerhouse!
Professionals above the eleventh level can deter a country on Wan Guolin's side.Even in the interior, no one should underestimate it!Those real big families, big aristocratic families, if they don't have this level of powerhouses, they won't be able to stand on the stage at all!

If Galen and Lux ​​reach level eleven, then Wu Zhi will have a strong support by his side when he returns to the mainland.Lux's position in the Holy Cult of Light will also be completely stabilized!Among other things, the title of the saint will definitely be stabilized!
In that way, Lacus will have more words in the Holy Cult of Light, which will be more beneficial to Wu Zhi.

Second, after reaching level eight, Wu Zhi will have another chance to acquire a system skill.

If you are lucky, the summoner skill you get is "Teleportation".
So what Colossus Mountains, what Presfin are all clouds!Direct one teleportation, whether it is the inland or Dishangjiandi, you can go there!

This significance is even greater than Galen Lux's level increase!

The premise of all this is that Wu Zhi has reached the eighth level!
However, the promotion of the level is not something that can be promoted at will. Talent, luck, and daily accumulation are all indispensable.Otherwise, powerful professionals would have been overwhelmed. The word "grandmaster" is just a joke.

Wu Zhi sighed, and was about to continue his cultivation, when suddenly his eyes moved, and he saw a carriage slowly approaching on the path by the mountain
