From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Chapter 303 Castle

The environment around the Viscount's castle is a bit dim. There was originally a garden corridor under the city wall, but after the old Viscount entered his later years, he ordered it to be kept as it was. Plant humus accumulated to a thickness of ankle-deep, and ancient trees lay across it, exuding the smell of decay. , dense ancient oak trees grow together, their roots are intertwined, and their branches are crowded with each other, forming a shadow at the top like knitting.

The only gate was forged from a single piece of heavy boulder. Historically, a hired Earth Saint-level magician put a defense on the outer layer of the city wall. Later, three magic arrays were added one after another. Just talking about history. , the Tumitit family is very old, and supporting the fortress in the northern part of the enfeoffment is obviously an important task, but due to the characteristics of the times, it has gradually lost its importance.

At the gate of the castle, there are stone statues of past family heads, some holding swords, some holding books, or reining in horses. Every artifact is covered with red paint that looks like blood. This is a local custom to seal the souls of the deceased. It has been guarding the fortress forever for twenty-six generations.

In addition, there are also lifelike stone statues of gryphons scattered around. A small number of these A-level monsters gather on the Bekarit continent across the sea to the south of the central continent. They have strong bodies and the ability to fly. Based on this characteristic, only Saint-level monsters can Be sure of a successful crusade.

"Are there gryphons in the territory?"

Jiang Yuan stared at the stone statue thoughtfully.

"I've never seen them before. I don't even recognize these stone statues."

Xia Mi took off her mask. When she first entered the genjutsu, she was in a panic. The first feeling she felt after losing all her power was extreme uneasiness. After realizing that her appearance might become a problem, the option of covering up naturally emerged in her mind. At that time, she Understand why someone often remains in disguise while in Kassel.

As for the griffin, she had indeed never seen it, and there were not many rumors related to it in the territory.

"Show me the map later." Jiang Yuan said. Cole is a viscount family to the west of Tumitit. Although the two sides have been at odds for generations, the assassination was launched with a desperate attitude. After all, Salier was no longer subject to The most important thing is that there is something in Tumitit's territory that can drive people crazy.

This world lacks shortcuts to become stronger very quickly. Even weapons with outstanding effects must be used by matching people. Apart from that, there are not many things that can be considered important. Combined with griffins, it may be a maze.

The magic crystal produced in the labyrinth cannot be used to increase the upper limit, but it can speed up the recovery of magic power. It is a universal currency better than gold. A standard magic crystal = ten gold coins = one hundred silver coins = ten thousand copper coins.

Coupled with magic add-ons, various rare specialties, and even the ability to breed monsters, the value is inestimable.

In a nutshell, the labyrinth represents a turning point in the prosperity of the family. The matter of killing Sariel is like a lie that must be told. Even if it has to be covered up with countless lies later, it is completely worth it.

"Oh." Xia Mi blinked. The other party probably discovered something, but as before, she didn't need to worry about it.

Entering the castle hall, the steaming heat hits your face. It is the beginning of the year outside, and the winter cold has not completely subsided. Across the door, the temperature is very different. To the north of the territory are low mountains. The beasts and firewood belong to the lord. It keeps the fire burning all winter long.

The lime walls are not as brilliant as the Silver Palace, but there is a cold simplicity. The aroma of barbecue and white bread permeates the air. On the long table, the maid has prepared pre-dinner fruits and vegetables and sweet wine, but the quantity is pitiful, let alone cultivation. There is not even one male servant who is relatively difficult.

"All the excess has been sold." Xia Mi smiled with a hint of pride, accurately discarding useless things in exchange for money for enjoyment. This is a path that combines pragmatism and hedonism. The twelve maids left behind can barely maintain normal operations. , they are not young, because the young ones are more valuable.

Of course this does not include the manning of important buildings.

Jiang Yuan nodded. Since the servants had no fighting power, it would be redundant if the number exceeded the usage limit. They both agreed on this point.

"Miss, the taxes of the subjects will have to wait until summer and autumn. Your daily expenses during this period have exceeded reasonable expectations." Mei Ruilin said. She is now the leader of the Rose Knights, part-time financial officer, personal housekeeper and guardian knight. , Fortunately, the viscount still has some conscience and pays four salaries. If the other party does not match the secret of the water god flow of his lineage, no one can continue to work.

One of the five mysteries of Water God style, breaking through the sword world, Shamis Tumitit was born to complete the most difficult part - finding the weakness.

Xia Mi was a little embarrassed. She was unwilling to lower her living standard because she had been working as a worker for too long.

"My subordinate's loyalty to the young lady will not change. You are the future of our family." Merillin thought that the other party had doubted her position.

"To be honest, I relied on instinct during that drill."

"This is the real key. Only true masters can draw children's graffiti. Countless people spend their lives moving towards your starting point, but often regret it for the rest of their lives."

Xia Mi: "..."

Okay, okay (palms)

The lunch was quite sumptuous. At this time of year, spices, fruits and vegetables were more expensive than meat and white bread. Both of them ate very quickly. Jiang Yuan resumed the habits he had when he was an ordinary person. During his first world trip, he spent three days and two nights. Continuous operation greatly improves efficiency.

Xia Mi carefully stuffed a piece of smoked deer liver into her mouth. The Asla nobles had an almost disgusted rejection of the offal of beasts, but for her, the feeling of eating to eliminate hunger was very novel.

Mei Ruilin said goodbye and left. She had to discuss the wedding arrangements and corresponding aspects with the etiquette officer. "Would you like to go to the opera house soon?" Xia Mi asked. She was now a frequent visitor to opera houses, circuses, arenas and other places for sightseeing. In view of the length of history, the existence of adventurers and the singing of a large number of troubadours, The opera house's repertoire is completely different throughout the year. After receiving strong support from the Viscount, the scale and quality have been improved.

"I need the watchtower in the castle to use it as a support for my alchemy works. In addition, as for the guard captain Cullen I brought, my idea is to let him lead people to join the Knights of the Rose. After the Cole family is destroyed, the remaining It will take no more than half a year to issue five knight collars for rewards. As for the Blackstone Legion, intelligence exploration must be put on the agenda. At least we must find out the specific number of soldiers and the social relationships of high-level officials, as well as the pillar industries in the territory. It is rich enough to meet most of the expenditure pressure. Someone needs to do the relevant research, and we need to recruit a powerful magician. Once the maze is discovered, it is necessary to quickly build a city around it, so it must be at least a holy level.

Jiang Yuan ate meat and white bread calmly, only frowning slightly when he drank sweet wine to replenish sugar. Even for him, the days when he lost his usual wine and had not yet found a substitute were a bit of a hardship that he could not ignore. An alchemist without wine is like a human being drained of blood. The situation is very serious.

"Finally, I hope to establish a cooperative relationship with the dwarves."

Xia Mi's head was buzzing when he heard this, and he said helplessly: "I will leave the matter of the Guards Captain to Mei Ruilin, and a notice will be posted on the recruitment of saint-level magicians. You can only do the rest by yourself. The seal and The special banknotes are all in the study room."

"The Tumitite collar is not mine alone."

"I still have to practice the water god-style swordsmanship with Mei Ruilin. Being too weak is not an option."

Jiang Yuan nodded. Each sword master's swordsmanship system is different. During the process of practicing swordsmanship, the fighting spirit is allowed to continue to circulate according to its own context, and the body is repeatedly stimulated to a certain extent. This is a normal way to increase physical strength.

However, the increase in the upper limit is average, and the focus is on fighting spirit to protect the body. However, if it is exhausted, except for special circumstances, ordinary iron weapons can also cause damage. In other words, siege has a lot of room for operation. Based on this, powerful adventures in history The evil spirits often appear, but it is still the kingdoms that dominate the world.

Junior swordsmen train their bodies.

When it reaches the corresponding level, it carries magic power and physical entanglement, and is transformed to give birth to fighting spirit seeds, and then promoted to an intermediate swordsman. The essence of these two energies is the same.

A swordsman whose fighting spirit is full and spread all over his body and limbs is an advanced swordsman.

And when the fighting energy all over the body is connected with each other, running in a unified manner, and can release invisible energy, it reaches the holy realm.

By understanding the secrets of swordsmanship on the basis of the Sword Master, you can become the King of Swords, commonly known as the King of Swords.

Every step requires matching physical support.

Jiang Yuan put down his knife and fork and stopped eating. The magic power inherent in all things, after a month of attachment, has been combined with the flesh and blood inside the body and is at a critical point.

The food in the intestines and stomach is digested rapidly, and energy condenses under the heart. When the aggregation is completely completed, a black seed is born, as if it is parasitic on the heart. The next moment, the first ray of fighting energy flows to the whole body along with the blood.

He has his own swordsmanship system, and even the road to mysteries has no barriers. All it requires is the accumulation of time. It is logical that this is the accumulation of many world travels.

To a certain extent, it is equivalent to a recommended Sword King reserve.

Xia Mi was accustomed to this. She was not surprised that the opponent could reach the monarch level from the fifth generation, and now his whole body was covered with tentacles.

After the meal, Xia Mi went out to enjoy time under the protection of Mei Ruilin. Jiang Yuan asked Cullen to take people to put the ores and materials into the watchtower in the southwest corner of the castle, and then entered the library outside the Viscount's mansion.

There are three old bachelors who are usually in charge here. Outside of the school, they are teachers at the Noble Union College in the northeast of Asla. They belong to the Tumister branch by blood.

"Your Highness Sariel."

An old man who was over sixty years old saluted. He had a head full of white hair and a beard that fell to his chest. He was dressed in a gray robe with white velvet embroidery on the edges. The organization of family history and documents required professionals.

"I want to know the types and distribution of nearby monsters. Please send them to the watchtower later." Jiang Yuan said.

"I understand that the northern part of the territory is close to the dwarf mountains and forests. The types of monsters are a bit complicated, but the danger is slightly higher. If Your Highness wants to hunt, you may go to the ancient swamps of the Norvos Plains. The Knights of the Rose clean them out all year round, but usually Leave some of the beast behind,” Goode advises.

"I will consider it." Jiang Yuan nodded and left.
