The world "Anduri" where Count Noctos resides is dying.

The terrible ashes are devouring Anduri step by step.Where the disaster has passed, everything will return to death, and the originally colorful world will turn into gray.Even gods cannot escape.

Fortunately, fate did not abandon the creatures in Andorui's world.Since the Ash Plague appeared two hundred years ago and began to slowly devour the world, the phenomenon of celestial sphere convergence also began to occur.

Through the temporary passage established between two planets in different universes, the residents of Andori world can escape from their dying homeland and come to a vibrant new world.

When the Ash Plague hit the Dead Coast where Count Noctos lived, the celestial spheres converged.He paid a very high price, seized this last chance, and finally brought his own ship "Black Fortress" to this new world called Earth.

It didn't take long before he was surprised to find that, compared with Anduri, whose civilization has been developed for tens of thousands of years, the young intelligent creatures on the earth are far behind in terms of technology and magic.

It took 500 years for firearms to evolve from matchlock guns to flintlock guns in the human kingdom of Andury World.If the earth's technological progress is at the same rate, then Earl Noctos's undead pirate army has a technological advantage of 500 years.He believes that with such a long time, he can definitely conquer hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, establish a kingdom of the dead, and become the first nobleman to wear a crown among the vampire pirate forces!

The ambitious Count Noctis sprang into action.

He first attacked the merchant ships sailing at sea, and after capturing them, he transformed the man and the ship into his own undead subordinates.In just a few days, Earl Noctis gathered a huge fleet.

Afterwards, he led his army south to attack the coast of North Africa, which had a relatively small population and relatively weak resistance.

In the port of Mahdia, where the Barbary pirates were stationed, the undead army of Count Noctis descended from the sky and surrounded it.But before he could order the attack, the Barbary pirates sent to negotiate a peace.

The shrewd and cunning vampire lord knows that if he wants to conquer this new world, he cannot just kill blindly.The servant army composed of the living will also be an important part of the vampire kingdom.

Therefore, he agreed to these Barbary pirates who believed in the so-called true god of Mulhollan, and another pirate group that did not believe in any gods and claimed to be the Sons of Salt Mist.

After subduing a large number of human pirates, Count Noctos lost interest in the desolate and hot North Africa.

Who would be interested in a desert where no bird shit, except those old Nehras who slept in the pyramid tombs?

The continent north of the Mediterranean Sea is more densely populated.This means that he can transform more undead subordinates to fight for himself.

Then, based on the information provided by the servants of the Barbary pirates, Count Noctis set the first attack target on Ajaccio on the island of Corsica.

At this time, human pirates and undead pirates have invaded this city where a great emperor will be born in the future, and began to kill and destroy without restraint.

Earl Noctis stood on the high tower of the castle, looking at the city that was turning into death step by step in the distance, showing a smug smile.

The vampire's journey has just begun!

……

"Ke Luo, the god of wisdom, you are the guardian of civilization, the bestower of the spark of creation, craftsmen, scholars, technicians... the patron saint of all those who use their brains and hands to promote social progress..."

"At this moment, I sincerely offer you a tribute, please let the light of wisdom shine on this dark world..."

On the morning of December 1432, 28, Gaucher led all Wisdom believers to perform sacrificial activities in front of the newly built shrine.

With Ma Youfu's great support, after several weeks of development, the Rhone River Delta, which was originally deserted, has now been built into a bustling village.

In addition to the believers of the Wisdom Sect, there are also many "heretics" who are rejected by the mainstream of the Seven Sages, and gradually gather here and settle down.

These heretical groups of the Seven Saints, who lacked supplies and traveled long distances to Provence, were planning to recruit ships in the name of the Civilian Crusade, and then headed south desperately, hoping to seize land from the heretics and establish their own, away from oppression Homes with discrimination.

The most radical of them, still according to the original plan, has now set sail.However, the other part is more pragmatic. After seeing the situation of the Wisdom faction, they also decided to defect to the Marquis of La Manche and settle down temporarily.

Ma Youfu did not refuse anyone who came.They will all be high-quality labor for developing newly conquered lands in the future, and the more the better.

After all, even if he plans to implement a policy of religious tolerance in North Africa, he still needs to have enough of his own people as the base and ballast to ensure the stability of his rule.

After completing the sacrificial activities, Gaucher boarded the simple sentry tower, and then took out a bronze tubular object from his arms.

This is an optical tool that he made after receiving Corot's revelation one night.Using the lens installed in the copper tube to refract the light, the distant scene can be magnified.

Gaucher called it a "telescope."

Because the news about the undead pirates has been spreading all over the place recently, he observes the sea surface with a telescope every day, and if there is any abnormality, he can find it early.

This time, after he raised the binoculars, he saw a small boat on the sea surface rising and falling with the waves at first sight.Several people on the boat were waving their arms constantly, as if they were calling for help.

Chapter 350 VII Increased Prosperity

Ma Youfu once thought that waking up from sleep with a fragrant and soft girl in his arms in the morning was the happiest thing.Only now did he know that this was not the happiest thing.One left and one right, waking up from sleep with two fragrant and soft girls in their arms is the happiest thing.

Like now.

On the morning of the penultimate day in 1432, he woke up in a five-meter bed specially provided by the hospitable René I.

Looking at Antoinette and Joan of Arc, who were sleeping soundly on their pillows, Ma Youfu couldn't bear to disturb them, so he decided to lie down again, and reminisce about the happiness of last night by the way.

With Joan's relatively conservative personality, she was originally unwilling to do it with other girls. A few days ago, Ma Youfu got along with the two of them on a daily basis.

But Antoinette quickly saw the man's greedy little thoughts.It has to be said that this girl is a genius who can grasp people's hearts, and with a little trick, Ma Youfu got his wish.

When Joan of Arc was present, Antoinette often acted like a good student, and asked Ma Youfu questions one by one "teacher".

This aroused Joan's jealousy and made her feel that something unique between herself and Ma Youfu was being taken away by others.

In this way, the fire of jealousy in her heart was ignited again, and she became a bold and powerful saint of darkness. She took the initiative to attack without any shyness, and "competed" with Antoinette, allowing Ma Youfu to get his wish.

Just as he was distracted by the wonderful experience last night, thinking about whether to have another morning exercise after the two girls woke up, Ma Youfu suddenly received a system prompt.

"Your territory has completed the initial construction of a modern civil government, and its administrative efficiency has increased by 30%. Prosperity +7."

"Prosperity exceeds 65 points, and you have gained a new specialty: Fine Craftsmanship."

"You can perform a new magic ritual: Seiko Ritual. Under the effect of this ritual, the time required to manufacture any item will be extended by 50%, and the success rate will be increased by 1010%."

"Your upper limit of mana and upper limit of divine power have been increased by 7%."

"You gained extra experience points and reached level 12."

"You can start learning six-ring spells."

A series of text prompts appeared in his mind, making Ma Youfu dizzy.

After all the information was displayed, he began to organize and absorb them one by one.

The completion of the establishment of the civilian government shows that the first civil servant examination in the Earl of Rouen has been successfully completed, and enough talents have been promoted to fill the positions in all government departments.

Although measured by relatively high standards, the newly established bureaucratic system is still very immature, and it can be regarded as a half-baked team.But at least compared with the ruling machines of other feudal lords, Ma Youfu already has a set of advanced management institutions with clear duties, reasonable levels, and a balance of powers and responsibilities.

After this system matures and operates, it can be extended to other fiefdoms, and the prosperity will definitely be further improved by then.

As the core data of Ma Youfu's elite path "Prosperity Guardian", the benefits brought by the increase in prosperity are too numerous to enumerate.Ma Youfu got a new specialty, the upper limit of mana and divine power was increased, and he even got extra experience points.

Although the system did not digitize the experience value and display it intuitively, Ma Youfu could still know the increase or decrease of the experience value by feeling.

After rising to the elite rank, the speed of gaining experience points becomes slower and slower.Even if Ma Youfu read all kinds of books every day, learned the knowledge of magic theory, and practiced spells unremittingly, as of yesterday, he was still halfway to the twelfth level.

Unexpectedly, after only raising the prosperity by seven points, he gained a huge amount of extra experience, which allowed him to rise to the twelfth level.

Being able to cast six-ring spells has brought his strength to a higher level.

After digesting all the information, Ma Youfu was about to get up.

As soon as he got up, he woke up Antoinette beside him.

The sleepy-eyed girl hugged the man's waist subconsciously, and muttered, "Master Marquis, don't leave me...I still want to..."

The exuberant energy in the man's body in the morning was immediately hooked.Ma Youfu was planning to have a morning exercise with Antoinette when he suddenly heard the sound of "beep beep" from the study.

Because he wants to live in Tarascon Castle, for the convenience of communication and for the sake of confidentiality, Ma Youfu set up a communication magic circle in his study.

That "beep beep" sound reminded him that a new letter had arrived.

Helpless, Ma Youfu had no choice but to suppress the desire in his heart, get up and get out of bed.

With nothing to hug, Antoinette looked around in a daze, then moved to Joan of Arc, grabbed the big and straight pair of the saint, and then fell into a sweet dream again contentedly.

Seeing this scene, Ma Youfu shook his head with a smile and left the bedroom.

In the study room, in the center of the communication magic circle, the magic power condensed into silk threads is engraving the words transmitted from afar on the paper one by one.

After the message was sent and the magic circle stopped working, Ma Youfu picked up the letter paper and began to read it.

It was written by Vera.She informed Ma Youfu of the process and results of the civil service examination in detail, summarized the problems encountered during the examination, and finally put forward suggestions for improvement.

Seeing his little dark elf lover growing rapidly and becoming more and more capable, Ma Youfu couldn't help nodding.

In addition, she also sent a list of important officials from various government departments.

Because he was far away in Provence, Ma Youfu had no way to select officials himself, so he directly gave Vera and Zhu Wennier the right to select officials by themselves, and to kill first and then play.

Both of them have no problem with their loyalty and conduct, and they will not engage in petty tricks in this kind of matter, so Ma Youfu gave him full trust.Anyway, if something goes wrong, it won't be difficult to fix it.His territory is not large, and the boat is small enough to turn around.

Finally, Vera revealed an important news to Ma Youfu: the little princess of Burgundy is coming to Rouen for a visit.

Although the correspondence with Ma Youfu has not stopped, how can the words on the letter paper completely resolve the pain of lovesickness?So Princess Mary decided to come to see her fiancé-to-be in person, and take a tour in France by the way.

She has been in Ghent for nearly a year, and she can't bear the loneliness.

As for the little dragon-born princess, Philip III, as his father, had nothing to do with her. He could only send as many servants and guards as possible to take care of her life.

Princess Mary will spend a week in Normandy, then head south to Provence to join Ma Youfu.

In the letter, Vera reminded Ma Youfu in a gloating tone to restrain himself on women's issues, so as not to be "caught in bed" by his prospective fiancee.If the little princess is jealous, the dragon loses his temper and demolishes the castle of Tarascon, which has condensed the hard work of two generations of the Anjou family, then it will be bad.

Ma Youfu is not worried.

The fact that Mary was able to send her maid to her fiancé's bed meant that after she awakened the blood of the dragon, her outlook on love was different from that of ordinary people.

After reading the letter, Ma Youfu began to think about writing a reply.

First of all, of course, I want to tell how I miss my two lovers, Vera and Margaret.

Although I was singing every night in Provence, I was already in the state of "music here, don't think about Rouen", but my lover still had to coax her carefully.

Then, he started to talk about the business, laying out the key development direction of the Normandy area.

In the case of ensuring spring plowing, in addition to continuing to build the military industry, Ma Youfu also hopes to invest most of the surplus resources in the shipbuilding industry.

Whether it is to deal with those undead pirates, or for the next Crusades, or the upcoming era of great geographical discovery, a developed shipbuilding industry is a must.

It's just that the long-distance water can't quench the near-thirst, so in order to deal with the imminent threat at sea, Ma Youfu hopes that Vera can find a way to buy or rent at least [-] Karak galleons to form a fleet.

The profit-seeking Genoese are not entirely reliable, and they have to rely on themselves to establish a strong sea power in the Mediterranean.

After writing down some minor instructions and confirming that there was nothing missing, Ma Youfu used the communication technique to send the letter back to Rouen through the communication circle. ,

After dealing with the business in the morning, Ma Youfu returned to the bedroom and found that the two girls were still sleeping, so he left the residence alone without disturbing them.

He was about to go to the kitchen to get them some food, but when he passed by the grand banquet hall, he found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The place is open 24 hours, with non-stop supply of drinks and food, so it is always full of people, and there is never a shortage of music, laughter, and drunken quarrels and noise.

But at this time, there was no guest in the banquet hall, only a few servants passed by in a hurry.

Ma Youfu was wondering, when he suddenly remembered Jean II's voice behind him: "Master Marquis! Sir Marquis!"
