I want to be the Grand Duke of the Abyss

Chapter 68
The Horner family has a long heritage and is a hereditary noble of the Xino Empire.

The earliest Falk I assisted the founding emperor of the Xinuo Empire in his expeditions to the east and west, and was eventually awarded the title of Grand Duke. The entire Loki Mansion was a family fief.

It's just that things are up and down, and the children and grandchildren are not doing well in maintaining their careers.

After many vicissitudes of life, when it was passed into the hands of Horner Falk, the title had been reduced to Viscount, and only a small area on the edge of the territory remained.

But the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse.

Relying on the incomplete inheritance of his family and his hard training, Horner Falk has still touched the edge of extraordinary power, and his attributes and strength are much stronger than ordinary people.

It's okay to bully Zamao, but when he encounters the more powerful Count Beto, there's nothing he can do.

Count Beto and the Falk family were feuding, and Horner's father died indirectly at the hands of Beto.When it comes to his generation, they are even more bullied and humiliated.Not only did he steal business and occupy territory, but he even had his fiancée amputated.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten people are destined to be traitors.

What's more, it's impossible to share the fate of my father!
He already had the hatred of killing his father, and now he has the hatred of taking his wife. Horner Falk had no way to take revenge on his own. In a rage, he finally opened the secret book hidden deep in the family and chose Evil summoning ritual.

Jiang Fan was too lazy to pay attention to Viscount Horner's love and hatred. He only cared about whether the other party could provide him with a fresh and complete soul.

In the past few days, when he was out wandering around, he easily solved a pickpocket who had no eyesight. The little experience he gained made him sad.

He is now a third-level creature. If he hunts ordinary people at the bottom of level 0, he only has a mandatory 1 point of experience.

However, the contractor held a sacrifice ceremony, and the complete soul harvested was rewarded with 300 experience points by the Will of the Abyss.It's no wonder that demons prefer to confuse others when they arrive in another dimension, rather than killing them as soon as they come up.

We still need to find a way to let Viscount Horner exert more effort.

at dusk.

Horner Falk returned to the manor on the outskirts of the territorial city.

He was still wearing a black cloak, and behind him were several servants pushing a flat wooden cart with several black cloth bags on it.

"woooooooo~~"

The bag seemed to contain some kind of living thing. From time to time, the edges were being held up haphazardly, causing great struggle.

"Okay, just put it here, leave two people here."

"Remember to shut up after the rest goes down. Otherwise."

"Humph!"

Arriving in front of the hall door, Horner Falk turned around and glanced at several servants before speaking, his voice extremely cold.

"Yes, Lord Viscount."

The servants trembled and hurriedly agreed.

They are all slaves of Viscount Horner, and their life and death depend on his thoughts.

For such private matters, even if Horner didn't warn them, they would never dare to spread it around.

Just kidding, what does it matter to a hereditary viscount who owns a territory to die as a pariah?
Even if someone found out and brought it to the consul, it would only be a matter of paying some gold coins.

Can untouchables be considered human beings?

Honor Falk watched the servants retreat, then took off the hood of his cloak, revealing a head of thick brown hair.

He adjusted the tie on his collar, looked at himself up and down, and then gently knocked on the hall door.

"Tuk Tuk~"

"Lord Osiris! It's me, Horner."

"Your Viscount has arrived and you haven't opened the door for him yet."

Jiang Fan in the room had heard the sound a long time ago, and without turning his head, he said to the housekeeper on one side.The old housekeeper remained silent, bowed slightly, and then hurriedly walked to the hall door and opened the door.

Horner Falk walked into the hall quietly and stopped when he was five or six meters away from Jiang Fan, not daring to take another step forward.

"Lord Osiris, these are today's sacrifices."

Jiang Fan put down the book in his hand, felt the breath outside the door, stared at Horner's figure and said, "Why are there only 10 of them?"

"Lord Osiris, there are relatively few refugees and criminals in the territory recently, so...so..."

In the Xinuo Empire, all matters in the territory are decided by each lord himself.The great consul of the empire will not interfere with the military affairs of the lords. Only when a large-scale war breaks out, he will issue a call for nobles to uniformly dispatch the army.

Due to the lack of resources and competition for territory, wars often broke out between lords.

During the war, a large number of soldiers were captured. It was actually very simple to meet Jiang Fan's conditions.

But at this time, Count Beto's strength can crush Viscount Horner. If he cannot win the war, he will naturally not be able to capture prisoners.The territory is surrounded by enemies, and no new refugees can come in. He can't sacrifice his territory to satisfy this devil!
What is a lord called a lord if he has no subjects?

Moreover, based on observations over the past few days, this legendary demon did not go on a killing spree as described in the book, causing the lives of the people in the territory to be devastated. Instead, he walked and read books in a disciplined manner every day.

Except for the fact that his subordinates reported that they saw the strange adult kill a thief, his behavior was even more "aristocratic" than that of a real aristocrat.

Horner had some vague guesses in his mind. He felt that this demon seemed to have some invisible constraints that made him scrupulous and unable to act recklessly.

Today he only brought 10 people. Firstly, there were only a few criminals about to be executed in the prisons in the territory. Secondly, it was also a sign of temptation.

Jiang Fan stared at Horner Falk in front of him, guessing his little Jiujiu, and the coldness gradually grew in his pupils.

He waved his hand to summon two skeleton warriors, and with a thought, they rushed towards the two lucky servants at the door.

Compared with the heavily armored undead warrior, the appearance of the skeleton warrior is obviously more intimidating.

When had the two servants seen such a skeleton with no trace of flesh and blood on its body and carrying a bone knife?
One of the servants was so frightened that he turned around and ran away when he saw such a terrifying monster suddenly appearing and heading towards him.

But before he could run a few steps, he tripped over himself in panic and fell to the ground.

Another servant was so frightened that he stayed where he was, allowing a skeleton to rush forward and slash him with a knife, decapitating him.

Jiang Fan looked at the servant who was constantly climbing backwards using his hands and feet, and curses came out of his mouth.

【Painful blow】!
[Explosive Flame Technique]!
"Zor'akthu!"

Fiery flames burst out and engulfed his entire body.

"what!!!"

Under the effect of the painful blow, the servant let out a miserable scream, like a cuckoo weeping blood!

Then, the whole person was reduced to ashes by the fire, and not even the bones were left.
[Kill the enemy, experience value +1]

[Kill the enemy, experience value +1]

Ignoring the shivering butler beside him, Jiang Fan stood up, walked closer and stared calmly at Horner Falk in front of him.

"I'm not kidding you! From today on, every day that passes, you will have to pay 10 more sacrifices!"

Viscount Horner witnessed the bloody scene just now. He was frightened and uneasy. He was about to beg for mercy. Suddenly, he noticed something strange happening beside him out of the corner of his eye.

He turned around and saw that the headless body of the servant who had just been hacked to death by the skeleton warrior shook violently, and all the flesh and blood on his body flew to the ground, leaving only a gray skeleton.

Then, the headless skeleton even started to move on its own, walked to the side, picked up the severed head, and slowly placed it on the cervical spine.

Two balls of soul fire flickered in the skull, looking straight at Viscount Horner!
