black wizard Zhu Peng

In those years, the road was far away, the letters were very slow, and a lifetime was only enough to love one person.

For a person like Zhu Peng who goes wherever he goes, it is already difficult for him to appreciate the sincerity of Lothari's cherished feelings. In his opinion, showing love is already a habit, but in Lothari It seems that it is a promise.Maybe this guy was once pure too, but unfortunately that was many, many, many years ago.

Fortunately, Zhu Peng is at least a man, and he is also very clear that Lotalie has already paid so much. If he can't respond clearly and accept it, it will be too cruel for this girl.

(Ugly is ugly, she always puts such a thick ointment on her face, maybe the face under the ointment is pretty delicate and beautiful.) At this time, the battleship also seemed to realize that this was an oolong Well, I fought like this on my side, but the necromancer who was clearly at the sanctuary level on the opposite side never fought back.

When the arrow stone stopped, Zhu Peng jumped down from the bone dragon, and then embraced the bewildered girl Luo Tali amidst the exclamation of the guards around the female officer, and kissed her deeply.

I have been holding back for more than half a year, and I have never been in the mood and have no time. At this moment, I only feel that the girl in my arms is stiff at first, and then soft, which is extremely beautiful.

……

Lotari Irons, the granddaughter of Imperial Army Brigadier General Hubek Irons, is also the most talented and outstanding heir of the veteran military nobleman Irons family in this generation.

Originally, with Lotari Irons' talent and family status, the old Irons planned to recruit a son-in-law, but when the son-in-law was a sanctuary-level necromancer and a promising new noble family head, what would he say? If this is the case, it is just asking for trouble.

The Irons family is considered a veteran noble, but the title is only a viscount. The viscount with real power in the imperial capital is higher than the nobles in other places. However, when people are upset, they will not let you go if they don’t want to. Powerful nobles need to consider all kinds of factors, but powerful nobles, because they only rely on themselves, there are really few taboos and restraints in all aspects. It is also very difficult to punish those who frequently treason and flee to hostile countries.

Compared with Daxiu Victor's promotion to the sanctuary, the longbowmen of the Victor family, the dumping of salt products, and the strangling of the seven thieves have all become very marginal and downplayed things.

With a sanctuary necromancer in charge, the merits of developing the Victor longbow will no longer be shared by others. If Daxiu Victor is a second-level necromancer, then the Victor family can share the profit because of the Victor longbow The benefit has reached its limit.

However, as the necromancer Daxiu Victor was successfully promoted to the sanctuary, this family will have a share of any meritorious service due to Victor's longbow in the future, because now the empire and the other side need each other, and the undead empire also needs it. Relying on the continuous output of benefits, share the profits and win over these sanctuary powerhouses.

No one is staring at Victor's fine salt purification technique anymore. Although this thing is very profitable, it is not worth attracting the gaze of a strong man in the sanctuary for this. There is no patent in this continent of the world. It is legal, but the strong in the sanctuary can protect their own interests from being violated by others. This is the most basic right.

As for strangling the seven thieves... Is it an exaggeration to strangle more than five times as many troops as there is a sanctuary mage with the family troops?

Based on the standard of a strong man in the sanctuary, one person against one army, this is a very conventional record, isn't it?

More than 1000 pirates died in battle, nearly [-] were injured, and the rest were all turned into slaves, but they also enjoy the ten-level military merit system. Want to become civilians or even soldiers?Take your time.

Around the island are countless impaled pirates, dead or wounded.

Those who have died are more relaxed at this moment. As for those who are not dead, or even not seriously injured, they will have to mourn for several days in the torture of the stake before they can die as they wish.

Such cruelty and horror have been enough to deter slaves for a long time. The combination of kindness and power is the means of the superior. Blindly being gentle will make people feel ungrateful, and blindly coercing will make people bottom out. It's a decent wrist.

After half a year.

In the quiet underground stone room, the former big pirate leader "Poisonous Spider" Jenny was kneeling there naked, being washed by two strong women every thread and every inch of her body.

Under the moonlight, her white skin almost reflected a jade-like light.

The cleaning is very careful, indeed every strand and every inch, not just the expected front, they even clean the mouth and the back inch by inch and then apply spices, just to let that terrible man get The most perfect catharsis experience.

Jenny never thought of a mage, no, to be precise, a man's energy can be so strong that he can even toss himself for a whole day and night.

At this moment, Jenny, who used to kill people and run away because she yearned for freedom, has been completely tamed by control.

Every day there is exquisite food to enjoy, there is meticulous cleaning and care by a strong woman, and all I have to do is move within the bounds of the chain around my neck, and then offer my body when the master comes.

With the passage of time, and the impact of extreme pleasure time and time again, confusion and ignorance are impacting Jenny's rationality as a human being... To put it more simply, she is about to be taught to be stupid by someone.

Although Luo Tali's arrival solved some of Zhu Peng's troubles, how could it be enough? It's not just spiritual power and magic power that become stronger with the promotion to the sanctuary, Zhu Peng's demon body also has a lot of magic power and sufficient nutrition Supplement the sharp and strong.

To be promoted to the third level of legendary great demon, this can be said to be the mature form of the demon body in the abyss, and 90.00% of the little demons above nine will never reach their own maturity.

It is still 160 degrees full amount of evolutionary energy. If this is not already the upper limit, Zhu Peng, who has been fed back by the sanctuary-level necromancer demon, may be able to obtain more than this little amount of evolutionary energy.

Now there is no shortage of means in all aspects, so Zhu Peng spent [-] points of evolutionary energy to strengthen himself with a high-level anti-magic physique, [-] points of evolutionary energy for a red flame ability, and [-] points of evolutionary energy for an undead body. Body, the last ten points of evolution energy to strengthen the body with magic power.

Except for the red flame ability, which is used to purify energy, these four abilities are all related to the strengthening of the physical body. The high-level anti-magic physique originally involves the addition of the physical body and physique, and the immortal body involves resilience and defensive tenacity. The higher the magic power, the more pure the magic power, the stronger the bonus reinforcement obtained by the demon avatar, but the overall cost performance of this ability is not very high, so there are not many demons strengthened.

It's not that Zhu Peng himself wants to go all the way to the black on the road of a melee spellcaster, it's just that the legendary necromancy, which he has learned in the wizarding world, is even far superior to the necromancy in this world.The spells in the wizarding world are different even compared to the innate abilities of demons. It is undoubtedly a waste to waste evolutionary energy to strengthen the abilities that one has already learned.

Therefore, in the end, Zhu Peng could only choose those that would be troublesome to strengthen by himself, and would be more effective through talent enhancement.

However, this is a pain for the female officer Lotari and the former great pirate Jenny. The stronger the body, the stronger the desire, not to mention the real body of the devil. After letting her fall into a deep sleep, Zhu Peng went to the basement to find Jenny to vent his unfinished desire.

Anyway, he was just a prisoner of war, and no one would care if he was killed. Zhu Peng, who can be completely liberated, is more comfortable in this basement, but the two servants who come in to clean up after each time, look at it like a rag. Jenny, who is like a doll, will feel pity for her, even if she knows she was once a pirate.

If it weren't for her strong third-level strength and the martial arts secrets that have cultivated a flexible body, Jenny might have been beaten many times.

It's just that it is impossible for Jenny to enjoy the benefits that Zhu Peng gave to Lotari. During the process of joining the dual cultivation, Zhu Peng spent his mind and heart to heal Lotari's hidden wounds, sorting out the messy and chaotic veins of power, which made the already deep foundation The girl gradually stepped into the edge of the sanctuary.

In fact, this is the case for most of the third-tier powerhouses. If it is said that one hundred strength is required to enter the sanctuary, most of the third-tier powerhouses have reached 110 or even higher, but their own The power cannot be perfectly controlled, and each other consumes and hedges against each other, so it cannot meet the [-]-point power requirement for entering the sanctuary.

For Lotalie, the absolute strength may have reached more than 130 points, but her psychological burden is too great, and the military martial arts are too rough. Since she came to Anstein Island, Zhu Peng accompanied her to enjoy the opera , painting, tasting tea, practicing court fencing as if playing around.

At night, Luo Tali stretched her whole body in various postures very patiently and diligently, and Luo Tali, who had removed the oil all over her body, was fresh and tender like a girl. Zhu Peng couldn't put it down, and was almost afraid of breaking it.

In the eyes of the military, court fencing has always been a representative of flashy and useless learning. Swords are used to kill people, not for performances. This concept cannot be said to be wrong, but under Zhu Peng's guidance, Luo Tali made up for many of her own deficiencies in the past through court fencing skills, and she often learned something.

Finally, half a year after arriving at Victor's house on Anstein Island, Lothari was successfully promoted to the Sanctuary rank and became a shining knight.

However, after thinking about her advanced sanctuary, Lotari did not tell her family about it. She knew very well that once the people in the family knew about her advanced sanctuary, she would not be oppressed. They will never give up after they have done their last bit of profit... The matter between themselves and Daxiu will cause many twists and turns.

One day, the castle banquet.

Wine and meat were served from the kitchen continuously, and the long table was filled with all kinds of delicious food. The relatives of Victor's family and the officials on the island ate and drank happily while drinking.

The relatives of the Victor family are vaguely headed by old Victor, and the real officials on the island are of course headed by Baron Daxiu Victor, but at least for now, the two of them are getting along relatively well, because the baron meets everyone's needs , and at this moment, Victor's relatives are not too greedy.

Actually, Zhu Peng, who was sitting at the second seat at the long table, was not used to the noisy environment like the present one, but today was a holiday, and old Victor quite liked such a lively atmosphere, so it was fine.

In fact, apart from Zhu Peng, the Victor family, from the old Victor to Lothari to Lisa, is actually the type who likes to join in the fun. The old Victor likes to see the prosperity of the family, the strength of the family, and the enjoyment of many relatives. Flattering and pleading.

Luo Tali was born in a military family, even if she didn't like it, she had already adapted to this style of banquet painting.

Old Victor's two wives and Old Victor also have a very similar mentality. They lived a relatively mediocre and humble life in the first half of their lives. Now they have the opportunity to instinctively want to enjoy the superiority and make psychological compensation. Lisa is purely playful and troublesome. join in the fun.

Holding a wine glass, during the banquet, Zhu Peng came to the extended pavilion on the side of the ancient castle alone. There are two huge moons in this world, one red and one blue. The red one is huge and the blue one is slightly taller. .

"Brother, it's rare that you refuse to accompany sister-in-law."

Suddenly there was a voice behind him, and Zhu Peng turned around, only to see Ilia in a gorgeous dark evening gown walking towards her. I secretly hate him for not understanding the young girl's love.

In the past six months, the number of nobles who have proposed marriage to Lisa and Ilia has decreased suddenly. On the one hand, it is because they do not know where it started. Lord Victor is greedy for the tenderness and beauty of his two younger sisters, and regards them as taboos. It won't be cheaper for anyone else.

This kind of thing is quite common among nobles, and even some married younger sisters still maintain a relationship with their elder brothers.

What's more, Lisa and Ilia have their own beauty and style, so there are not a few people who believe this rumor.But God is sorry, as evidenced by the female pirate locked in the basement, although Zhu Peng does not shy away from his desires, he never indulges himself.

Of course, the other side of this matter is actually because Daxiu Victor was promoted to a sanctuary-level necromancer, the power and status of Victor's family have risen sharply, and there are fewer and fewer people who are qualified to come to ask for marriage.

"Lotalie, since she was a child, she had very few opportunities to get along with female companions of the same age. Although she doesn't talk much, I know that she actually cherishes the opportunity to get along with those women, even if she just listens to some gossip." Shaking his head, although he didn't think so, Zhu Peng would not disturb Lotalie's interest, gossip, maybe it's a kind of woman's nature.

The process of Lotari's integration into the Victor family was very easy. Not to mention the background of the old military aristocrat Irons' family, it was just the battleship and [-] elite infantry that Lotari brought with her when she came half a year ago. A very generous dowry.

This excellent warship and five hundred heroic infantry were originally the bargaining chips that old Irons planned to use to coerce Daxiu Victor to join his Irons family.

But it happened to be stuck in Zhu Peng's promotion to the sanctuary, so don't mention any coercion. Zhu Peng swallowed up the money of the Irons family. The plan of the old Irons really paid off for his wife Breaking down again, this brigadier general of the empire who was far away in the imperial capital, even felt pain in his heart because of this.

Of course, Zhu Peng wouldn't make it difficult for Lotari, and the Irons family would be indispensable for the export of benefits in the future, but it was impossible for him to give up the initiative.

……

One day, an aristocratic tour group from the Immortal Empire sent a letter, intending to visit overseas customs, and stated that they planned to come here for free to eat, drink, take and live for free.

This is actually a letter sent by the imperial aristocracy to nobles who have established their roots for more than a hundred years. It is basically a large group of idle nobles and scholars who come to eat, drink and have fun. But at the same time, they also evaluate the strength and potential of the family and decide whether everyone accepts it. And make friends, and then marry.

If it is other aristocratic families, they must be sincere and fearful after receiving this letter. After all, the political value in it is extremely great. If they can successfully organize this aristocratic trip, it is basically equivalent to building relationships with many aristocratic families. , It will have a great impact on the social status of the Victor family in the future.

In fact, if Daxiu Victor hadn't been promoted to the sanctuary mage, which gave the Victor family a solid foundation, such a letter would have to be sent out after at least a 100-year trial period. Suddenly, the investment of the imperial aristocracy in the family is tantamount to wasted money.

However, after glancing at such a letter, Zhu Peng threw it to Yi Liya and asked her to preside over it. He didn't intend to hang out with you in your circle for too long. What does it matter if you accept it or not?

"In my original plan, it was to build a commercial Golden Triangle centered on Anstein Island, transport special products from Anstein Island to the Venetian City of the mainland, and then buy a large number of mainland products from the Venetian City, and go to the closer Sell ​​them on the orc island 'Tedar' opposite to Anstan Island in Venice City, and then buy a large amount of raw materials on Tedar Island and return to Anstan Island, forming a complete cycle." Tedal Island is the home of the Undead Empire The official name, in fact, the orcs who live there call it Bangatu more, and the translated name is the wrath of the ancestors.

There are a large number of centaur Amazons and lion tribes entrenched on Tedar Island, as well as [-]% to [-]% of humans.

There is no need to doubt that there are also humans in the Orc Empire, but they are more grassland nomads, who call themselves the descendants of the wolf and the sons of the eagle clan.

"I want to acquire this island and establish the golden route of the Golden Triangle belonging to the Victor family. Once this is done, you will also be vassals of the Victor family." Pointing to the chart in front of him, the man in a robe turned around in the room Said so.

As long as you complete this step, the enthusiasm for ocean trade in the entire undead empire and even this plane world will be stimulated, and your own power of destiny will be greatly supplemented. Although through calculation, even if the destiny card is pushed to The peak of the dark gold is still far from enough to shake the Flip Abyss Demon card, but it can always support part of it.

In the world of the ancestor of the mist, his own ancient witch avatar was blown up by the catastrophe. It is conceivable that if he wants to reversely reshape it with the flames of chaos, he will need a huge energy consumption.

After the golden route is established, the initial accumulation of one's own strength will be completed, and then one can step onto a broader stage and display it to one's heart's content.

"Lord Baron, your plan is good, but even if the original forces on Tedar Island are ignored, how should we deal with the reaction of the Orc Empire after the capture of Tedar Island?" In the room, there was Danny , Captain Plank, and even Lothari and the chief elder of the native tribe, Hatu.

At this moment when Plank raised doubts, he also knew very well that the adult in front of him would not mind as long as he spoke reasonably. In fact, it was precisely because he raised such questions and concerns that Zhu Peng appreciated it all the more. he.

Danny is too superstitious about himself, and Lothari is a bit similar. The Great Elder Hatu is an old and cunning guy, and he doesn't hear any valuable suggestions from him.

Only this guy, Plank, has a calm and clear mind, and is willing to pour cold water on his boss from time to time. This is actually what a good retainer should look like.

As he said, in the face of the general trend of the orc empire, Zhu Peng, a sanctuary-level necromancer, even with Luo Tali who has not shown his combat power, is not enough to look at, and he can become one of the five most powerful countries in the world , shouldering the heavy responsibility of fighting against the invasion of the abyss, such a great empire, there will be no shortage of sanctuary, demigod and even god-level powerhouses.

Of course, the proportion that will not be less is three digits, two digits, and single digits.More than a hundred, a dozen, one or two, and not all of them can be contained under the control and jurisdiction.

"The Orc Empire is not so much an empire, it is actually a tribal alliance system, especially Tedar Island is isolated overseas, and the Amazons and lion tribes on it are not subject to the Orc Empire, so after we capture this island, as long as A certain amount of political donations to the Beastman Empire should be enough to suppress it within 20 years and prevent the Beastman Empire from pursuing this matter..." 20 years later, the profits of the golden route of the Golden Triangle really showed up. Cling to it tightly, but after 20 years, I am afraid that I will return to a level that is sufficient to coerce and even control the situation.

However, of course there is no need to tell everyone that the undead empire and the orc empire belong to the dark camp. The orcs are stronger than the army and not the navy. In the end, the orc tribes on Tedar Island are not submissive to the jurisdiction of the orc empire. You usually don't pay taxes, and now I'm going to block the gun when something happens. This kind of thing is unacceptable to both the individual and the empire.

Of course, the orc tribe on Tedar Island also has its own confidence. The lion tribe on that island has a sanctuary, and the Amazon tribe has a sanctuary, and they all have good fighting power. Zhu Peng is a sanctuary-level necromancer. A mage is enough to suppress Anstein Island. There are two powerful orc sanctuaries occupying a larger deserted island. Are you still worried about being conquered?

In fact, if it weren't for the various benefits of establishing the Golden Triangle Golden Route in the plan, even Zhu Peng would not take the initiative to gnaw on this bone with few meats.

Without it, the overall price/performance ratio is indeed relatively low.

Every strong man in the sanctuary has been registered by the major powers, and they are carefully guarded, because although these guys are only one person, they can be compared to an elite army of thousands or even thousands of people. .

Chapter 14 Evaluation of Nobles

Even though plans have been made to attack, conquer, and occupy Tedar Island, the baron of Victor's family still requires his side to stand firm in terms of reason and righteousness.

In this way, in the future, whether facing the orc empire or the questioning of the undead empire behind him, he can deal with it more calmly.

And it's really too easy to catch those lion men and centaur Amazons with brains and chests full of muscles on Tedal Island.

The attack of the Seven Thieves brought eleven large ships to Victor’s family, and took out five of the most shabby and oldest ships to directly trade with Tedar Island. The price of the goods was set a little higher, and there was a little friction between the two parties... ...The orcs of Tedar Island, who believed in fist doctrine, immediately started to grab it.

They were killing people and robbing goods. The Victor family sought support from the Undead Empire, and at the same time lodged a solemn protest against the orcs!

Facing the video recording almost from beginning to end in the memory crystal ball, the orc diplomat stationed in the undead empire touched his nose and said that you should handle this matter yourself.

Unbeknownst to the diplomat, his own words were also fully recorded.

The lion tribe on Tedar Island is actually a remote branch of the royal family that lost in the battle for the throne. While it was blessed by a group of old people in the orc empire, its political status was also very embarrassing. That's why the orc diplomats stationed in the undead empire can say Out of self-handling such words.

It is not enough to do this kind of thing once. Daxiu Victor commanded the people below to do it five times. Anyway, the people on the ship are all humans from Tedar Island and a small number of pirates with bad intentions. Distressed, the real subordinates have long been prepared to jump ship to avoid danger.

Every time an incident happened, the Victor family appealed to the empire and lodged a solemn protest against the orcs. They destroyed five ships, lost five ships’ cargo, and lost hundreds of thousands of gold coins (on the books). During the process, the Orc Empire sent people to negotiate with the people on Tedar Island, and then the fox diplomat was driven out with one eye gouged out.

The orc fox tribe is rich in beauties and think tanks, but not all of them are beauties and think tanks, at least not counting the fox tribe diplomat who took money from the Victor family. The family is tightly bound.

When things reached this step, the preliminary preparations had been fully made. At the same time, the noble tour group came to Anstein Island and was received and welcomed by Ilia Victor.

Because the operating time was too short, the castle of the Victor family was expanded based on the original castle on the island, but even so, the gushing fountain in the garden, the thick red carpet on the ground, delicious food and crowds The courteous servants still left a deep impression on the visiting nobles.

Zhu Peng just took care of his daily life, so he made the castle's cleaning and drainage system better, the cook was better trained, and the library had a richer collection of books, but these were just the basic daily routines in his opinion. Conditions, in the eyes of the medieval nobles in this world, are already at least earl-level background and demeanor.

To put it bluntly, the life of an earl in the Middle Ages may not be as good as that of a commoner otaku on Earth in the 21st century.This is also the disadvantage of the convenience of technology and the magic civilization.

"Baron Victor really loves his sister deeply. He actually entrusts his sister to manage such an important gathering, but he doesn't show up at all." A middle-aged female scholar who still has charm Red wine, watching Ilia Victor who presides over the banquet.

At this moment, the girl was shining brightly, showing her ability and talent as the second daughter of the Victor family to the noble class.

"After all, he is a powerful nobleman. As long as Baron Daxiu Victor himself does not have any accidents, the Victor family doesn't really care whether we approve or not... According to rumors, the beautiful Miss Ilia in front of me is not the baron's blood relatives, but To be favored like this." The handsome middle-aged nobleman whispered in such a low voice, he and the female scholar who was sipping red wine exchanged glances, and both of them understood the meaning when they smiled.

Among the nobles, there are not a few close brothers and sisters who are related by blood, let alone such unrelated ones. In the eyes of most people, this Ilia Victor may have been wiped out by the baron. Only with that beautiful appearance and slim figure can he obtain such power in the hands of his lover brother.

However, Ilia is still a little worse than Lisa Victor. Baron Victor actually chose to train his younger sister to be a mage.

You must know that training a mage is very expensive, and at the same time, few families are willing to train their daughters to become mages. After all, the cost is huge, and the daughters will marry others in the future. From a cold rational point of view, this is not very cost-effective. investment.

The lack of qualifications of mage apprentices can be made up for by burning money, and the apprentices sent to the academy by the poor really can only rely on their own qualifications. .

Of course, in terms of the current income level of the Victor family, training a female mage is not a big economic pressure.

"Baron Victor is not just a purely powerful aristocrat who only locks himself in a laboratory. I have observed that the civilians on Anstein Island have a high rate of support for the lord, and they maintain a very high level of support. Deep respect and awe, just part of Anstan Island that has been reclaimed and the native tribes in the jungle are already connected. To be honest, such a scale, such fertile land, and such commercial routes, where is it still possible? A barony should have it, even an earl or even a weaker marquis is hard to match." When she said this, the female scholar frowned and hesitated, and then she continued:

"But, isn't this a little bit out of bounds? What the empire granted Daxiu Victor is only the barony."

"Soon to be the earl. The military department ordered that Victor's longbow be promoted throughout the country as an auxiliary arm. This is a silver medal for military merit, and then a gold medal for promotion to the sanctuary. As a border nobleman, there are high Some autonomy is normal." If the entire Anstein Island is fully developed, it will almost be a new province of the Undead Empire, and the Victor family will be granted the title of earl. One more powerful noble in the empire will be exchanged for a large tax province. , Such a transaction is undoubtedly worth doing.

Because the purchase of slaves and the development of border provinces require a lot of financial resources and force to suppress, and even if the investment is made, it may not be successful, and it is very possible to lose everything.

What's more, even with the size of the earldom, it is not for the Victor family to monopolize the entire Anstein Island. When the entire Anstein Island is developed, the empire will also send a large number of nobles to pick the fruit.

Just a sanctuary necromancer can't afford such a large piece of land and such huge benefits.
