Transcendent Noble

Heavy snow fell for two days and one night, and finally stopped. The long-lost sun shyly shyly revealed a glimmer of brilliance from the gaps in the clouds, coating the snow-white world with a golden layer.

The snow has stopped, the wind has not stopped, and the new wind is raging in the city of Moonbear with snow and ice. At this moment, even the sun succumbed to the lust of the cold wind, and it looked extremely cold.

Natalia exhaled her heat, tightened her cloak tightly, and walked on the uninhabited street without rush. Whenever the sun melts the ice and snow, the weather becomes particularly cold. The residents of Moonbear City tend to cat in the warm thatched houses and will not go out easily.

The snow accumulates under Natalya’s leather boots and makes a "zhi zhi quack" sound. Unconsciously, she has come to a barracks. The soldiers of Tatun dukedom have given up this place to a group of uninvited guests.

As soon as she entered the gate, a huge black figure flew towards her head on. Natalya avoided it. The black figure fell heavily on the snow and slid out a few meters away.

This is a bare-chested Barbarian. His arms are thicker than ordinary thighs, and his rock-like muscles are piled into a huge body eight feet high, covered with mottled scars. One after another tattoo is engraved on his rough face, revealing the wild and wild aura. I saw him stand up and let out a wild howl, like an angry rhino, rushing towards his opponent again.

"peng"

Barbarian fell back again, and it was a strong female Barbarian who knocked him down. This female Barbarian, who was two laps older than Natalia, stood there and said something loudly. The Barbarian onlookers roared feverishly, so another tall Barbarian jumped out and scuffled with her.

This barracks has now become the residence of Barbarian. Hundreds of brave and powerful Barbarians gathered in the open space of the barracks. They have half male and female ratios. There are many underage children, but their average height exceeds 2 meters. Overwhelming majority Barbarian males wear only a pair of animal leather shorts, and their bronze skin is covered with scars and tattoos. The biting cold wind seems to have no effect on them. Some Barbarians even lie down in the ice and snow with wine barrels in their arms.

Natalia noticed that the tattoos on these Barbarians have nothing common with each other, which means that they are from different tribes, and they are all tribes in the Turre Mountains, because of the Barbarian descendants who were exiled to the bottom of the mountain , Is not qualified to get tattoos on the body.

For thousands of years, mankind has known little about Barbarian on Turrell, but those exiled Barbarian left a deep impression on mankind.

Barbarian is tall, strong, fierce, and possesses a rock-like tenacious body and will. They are never afraid of any challenge, no matter if they are one opponent or a group. When fighting, Barbarian had no mercy. They wielded heavy weapons, rushed into the enemy, gave or received countless wounds, and were proud of it. Thanks to their tall body and tyrannical strength, Barbarian can almost use a variety of weapons to suppress opponents in close combat. They especially like to wield two heavy weapons, and instantly shred the enemy with a fierce attack.

Before the Moonbear family opened up this territory, humans had clashed with Barbarian. There is no strong monster in this vast tundra. Humans began to graze moose here, and the moose happened to be Barbarian’s main prey. There were conflicts from time to time until a Peak Knight was beheaded by Barbarian Berserker in a duel, and humans had to withdraw from here. .

700 years ago, the Moonbear family tried to befriend Barbarian. By raising moose and providing meat for the Barbarian village, they established a firm foothold in this tundra and formed a unique relationship with Barbarian. Symbiosis. It is precisely because the Moonbear family has Barbarian's support that Sasan Empire adopted a policy of appeasement to Tatun dukedom, allowing them to maintain great autonomy. Humans have also been able to re-understand this tough alien race.

Barbarian warrior's strength and physique are only inferior to the 2.8-meter-high ogre male, but their fighting desire and fighting skills are far stronger than ordinary ogre. Fortunately, Barbarian doesn't have much interest in weak opponents, and they can get along with humans in peace. And overwhelming majority Barbarian is reluctant to leave Turrell Mountain. The Barbarians who live in Tatun are all prisoners exiled by the mountain tribe, and they always want to return to Holy Mountain.

With the deepening of communication, humans discovered that there are several unique medicine ingredients on Turrell Mountain, which can be used to make washing potions for inspiring Knight bloodline and energy potions for restoring Battle Qi. Chamber of Commerce from various families have poured into Tatun dukedom, hoping to establish trade relations with Barbarian.

Barbarian does not need money and has very limited requirements for food. They like spirits, shields, armor and iron essence weapons. These things are exactly what the Sasan Empire lacks, so Peak’s commercial aristocracy and Barbarian The relationship was established, and the Barbarian led by Tatun also wanted to use these materials to regain the approval of the mountain tribe.

Every two years, the Shanbei tribe trades with human caravans through the Shanbei tribe, and exchanges what is needed. This is the biennial Tatun Grand Bazaar.

The Shanbei tribe does not directly interact with humans. The Moonbear family is familiar with the Shanbei tribe. At this time, hundreds of Barbarians from the upper mountain tribe entered Moonbear City, making everyone very uneasy.

Natalia walked lightly towards the main building of the barracks. Although Barbarian is not interested in the "skinny" Dame, Natalia still feels a little stressed when she walks among so many oppression-rich alien races.

The main building of the barracks is constructed with thick logs, filled with clay and straw ash, and there is a corridor in the middle. On both sides of the corridor are rooms for officers to live. The walls of the rooms are hung with thick moose skins. There is also a firepit in the center, which is relatively comfortable overall. It's just that these rooms are now reserved for Barbarian women and children.

Natalia walked forward along the corridor. At the end of the corridor was the Conference Hall of the main building. At the door stood a Barbarian female warrior with tattoos on her face. She stared at Natalia who came by , Some not knowing what to do, but there is no meaning to let go. The language of the two parties is incomprehensible, Natalia has a headache, she wants to shout Sophia's name, but she is afraid of misunderstanding the Barbarian female warrior. Just when Natalya was in a dilemma, she saw an acquaintance.

"Goran!"

Goran carrying two hot water pipes saw Natalia and happily shouted: "haha! Natalia!"

"This is hot water for adults? Let me do it. You and this...warrior, tell me, let me go in." Natalia took Golan's hand Of two wooden barrels.

Gelan said seriously: "Rigzo is not a warrior, she is Urusa."

"Urusha?"

"en! The owner is also Urusa now." Golan said with reverence.

When the Barbarian female warrior saw that Goran and Natalia met, she took the initiative to let go of the door. Natalia didn't care about asking Goran, and went straight into the room.

In the Conference Hall, Sophia was lying in a huge bathtub and lazily said: "Natalia, how is the situation outside?"

Na Thalia poured hot water into the tub and said: "The Moonbear family has prepared 40 carts of supplies and 100 moose for us. All these supplies are given away for free. They only hope that you can leave as soon as possible."

"Tagao is going to drive me away? It seems that I have really become ugly..." Sophia said quietly, shaking her long, white legs in the water.

Natalia glanced at Sophia’s short purple hair and the two pink scars between her chest and abdomen, and shook her head: “Head President comes out of the hair. You are the Great Knight of the Silver Order. It won’t be long before this The scars will also disappear, how can they become ugly? I’m very surprised, how did you get hurt? And, what about your armor?"

Sophia curl one's lip, said: "Those Barbarians said I was the most Ugly Urusa, these muscular bastards!"

"What is Urusa?" Natalia asked curiously.

"The person who hunted a snow monster or an earthwalker alone is Urusa as Barbarian said. And I killed a snow monster." Sophia said casually.

"Sophia! Are you Golden Knight now?!" Natalia exclaimed in surprise.

Snow monster is a unique bear-like monster in the mountain range of Turrell. An adult snow monster weighs more than 5,000 pounds and has the ability to breathe cold. Barbarian once sold the corpse of a snow monster in the Tatun Grand Bazaar. The Great Chamber of Commerce of the Borui Kingdom bought it back at a high price. After the research of the silver tower, the snow monster was determined to be a monster of the golden rank. .

Natalia believes that Sophia can kill a snow monster of the golden rank. Apart from being promoted to Peak Knight, there is no other explanation.

"According to Barbarian tradition, I am indeed Urusa now. However, Barbarian's Urusa is to fight snow monsters head-on, and I used some tactics." Sophia shook the head, with lingering fears Said: "What I killed was an underage snow monster. That monster almost killed me. My mithril armor was scratched by it... Fortunately, the snow monster has no wisdom, I After dealing with it for seven days, I finally killed it."

"Wisdom is also a kind of power. Anyway, you have killed a golden monster." Natalia said sincerely. .

"Kill a snow monster and bring back a group of big troubles!" Sophia dived into the water unhappily, unwilling to appear for a long time.

Natalia knew that Sophia could hear her in the water, and asked directly: "My lord, what is going on?"

After a while, Sophia poked her head out of the tub and said distressedly: "That day, the Elder of the Golan tribe invited me to Mount Turrell. I thought that I could establish a relationship with the upper part of the mountain tribe. Didn't expect the upper part of the mountain tribe. The Great Elder asked me to conduct a trial before I could talk to them. After the trial, I became unfathomable mystery as Barbarian's Urusa, and these Barbarians followed me down."

Nata Liya's heart throbbed with peng peng. Barbarian is tough and strong as an ox. Among them, Berserker is even better than ordinary Knight. The weapon Master is even the level of Great Knight, and Urusa definitely has the golden rank of battle strength. If these hundreds of Barbarians are all followers of Sophia, the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce will immediately become the leading Great Influence in the human kingdom.

"My lord, these Barbarians you brought down...how are their strengths?" Natalia was shocked when she opened her mouth, and she realized that her voice had become Dry and dumb.

Sophia turned to look at Natalia, faint smile said: "These Barbarians are 389 people, of which 192 are minor children. Among the adult Barbarian warriors, there are 56 Berserkers and 22 weapon masters. , 4 war chanters, and... 3 Urusas."

Natalia's face suddenly became pale, and she only felt cold all over, like falling into an ice cellar. . Sophia lightly said: "You understand now. We simply don't have the ability to control this power. If we are not careful, we will be crushed."

Since the Great Chamber of Commerce traded with the Shanbei tribe, some people have been born. Barbarian in Tatun dukedom will follow the caravan and venture into the human kingdom. They are brave and tenacious, hard-working, wild and simple and trustworthy. They are very good laborers and thugs. Many Chamber of Commerce like to recruit Barbarian followers. Sophia has eight Barbarian warriors under his command. But Barbarian is a powerful alien after all. They never intermarry with humans and cannot fully integrate into human society. Therefore, the Great Influences of the human kingdom are wary of this race.

The successful Chamber of Commerce must remain neutral and cannot have too strong armed forces. There are so many Barbarian warriors around Sophia. Let’s not talk about how to restrict them. The reaction of the Great Influence alone is enough to make the Chamber of Commerce fall apart.

The attitude of the Moonbear family is the best example. They can't wait for Sophia to take Barbarian away immediately. What kind of business dealings are they talking about in this case? Moreover, among these Barbarians, there are almost no old people. Except for children, they are all adult men and women who can give birth. This is completely a posture of ethnic migration. But which Human Kingdom will allow Barbarian to thrive in his own territory?

If there is a conflict between the two parties and Sophia cannot restrain these violent warriors, then the Chamber of Commerce of Wimbledon will be the first to be crushed.

"Natalia, you don't have to be too nervous." Sophia said with a smile: "These Barbarians are not my followers. The Great Elder of Barbarian asked me to send these guys to Southern Continent. After the mission is completed, Regzo... is the female Barbarian Urusa outside the door. She will lead 1 weapon Master and 2 Berserkers to become my followers until... I died in battle!"

Natalia stared at Sophia with bright eyes, smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Sophia, ambition will kill you. You shouldn't agree to Barbarian... "

"I have no choice!" Sophia was silent for a while, and then said fanatically: "Natalia, do you know? There are countless treasure medicine ingredients in Turrell Mountain, these Things are useless to Barbarian, but precious to us Knight! Our previous transaction share is fundamentally insignificant compared with the medicine ingredient reserves on the mountain! Barbarian Great Elder has entered into an agreement with me, as long as we can complete the commission, they will collect The specialty products we need and trade directly with us! How many cleansing potions does this represent? How many energy potions?"

"If I refuse to cooperate, Great Elder will also cooperate with other Chamber of Commerce. I think Borui people will not miss this opportunity, if so, why should I give up!" Sophia smiled like a flower and said sincerely: "Natalia, trust me. We will become the Chamber of Commerce with the most influence!"

Natalia nodded, murmured: "I really can't refuse, this advancement and retreat, the Chamber of Commerce situation is completely different..." After that, she couldn't bear it. The resident asked: "Then how are you going to complete Barbarian's commission?"

Sophia smiled: "Of course, first take them to the Borui Kingdom, and then rent the Borui people’s port and ships for delivery. They go to Southern Continent."

"The key is how to get to this section of the road? To go to Borui Kingdom, we have to go through Sasan Empire, Dodo Kingdom, Naville Kingdom, Suse Kingdom, Eastern Alliance, There is also the Kingdom of Borui. These forces will allow Is Barbarian accessible? Will the Borui people agree? "Natalia asked with frowning.

Sophia raised her beautiful eyebrows, and asked, "Who dares to stop?" "

Natalia suffocated slightly, shook her head and said: "It's not the way of Chamber of Commerce to overpower people." When Barbarian is sent away, we have to deal with the lords of various places. "

"That's right. "Sophia nodded said: "So, I plan to ask the church to come forward and arrange the passage. "

"The church? The church doesn't like foreign races. "

"So what can I do? "Sophia said slowly: "To tell you the truth, these Barbarians are not from the same tribe, and the Barbarian Great Elder who entrusted me is more than one person. If the church does not want to fight with all the Barbarians, it can only help us send these Barbarians away. After all, Barbarian wants to go to Southern Continent, not to invade human territory. "

"Of course, we also have to consider the faces of lords everywhere. I can take these Barbarians into the wild and try to minimize the impact. At the same time, we will sell some raw materials for pharmaceuticals to Great Influence and purchase supplies at high prices. They will not reject our kindness. "

"That's right. Sophia was naked, stood up from the bathtub, and said solemnly: "Never reveal the true strength of these Barbarians to others, so as not to cause unnecessary panic. "

Natalia picked up the camel hair bath towel and put it on Sophia's body, and said, "I understand." "

"Don't mention these annoying things. Sophia stepped out of the tub, leaned on a lady's bed, closed her eyes, and asked lazily: "Is there anything going on with Chamber of Commerce during my absence?" "

"Chamber of Commerce is still operating normally. "Natalia hesitated, and said lightly: "A major event has occurred in Gambis. "

"Victor shot and killed the Great Knight Austin of the Beria family in public. He is now the silver-ranked shooter who manifests Wind Element. "Natalia told the whole story, after the changes with Gambis Kingdom, without omission and in detail.

Sophia, after listening to Natalia’s narration, there was no from start to finish. Opening her eyes, her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed that her heart was not calm.

"So, my husband now lives in my house with two personal maids? Maybe, still sleeping in my bed! "Sophia endured for a while, really couldn't help it, so she sat up angrily, but when she saw Natalia's sympathy on her face, Pu Chi couldn't help but smile. She shook her head and sighed, "It really didn't." Expect, Victor can reach this level. "

"Let him go, without his purple cane wine, I don't know what to do with Barbarian. Sophia drowsily lay down and asked, "Is there anything else?" "

"His Royal Highness Andre invites you to be a guest of Borui Kingdom. "Natalia said.

Andre’s handsome face appeared in Sophia’s mind. She remembered the relationship between the two in the capital of Gambis. Sophia did use Andre, and Andre didn’t know it at the time. After proposing to Lora to no avail, he also invited Sophia to visit the Kingdom of Borui. In fact, this was an ambiguous invitation. However, there was a lot of trouble between Sophia and Catherine, and Andre never sent anyone to contact Sophia. He had obviously already Knowing that she is being used.

Sophia intends to use the power of the church to complete the Barbarian commission, not only to appease the lords everywhere, but also to worry that Andre will make things difficult for herself. Although the Barbarian martial power is powerful and invincible, she wants to cross the golden water river. , You must have the cooperation of the Borui people, otherwise the boat sank halfway through, and then it’s all over.

Sophia didn't expect, Andre actually sent out an invitation to himself again, which made She was surprised and delighted. What was surprised was that she was still not sure about Andre’s purpose and attitude, but as long as it was an open invitation, there would be no embarrassment. This is the tacit understanding between the nobles. The good news is that she is thinking about it. What kind of name to go to the Borui Kingdom, this problem will be solved.

In Sophia’s deep in one's heart, there is still an urgent desire. She desperately needs an heir.

The leader of the power, without heirs, the members of the organization have no centripetal force. Seeing that the Chamber of Commerce is about to rise up, Sophia will be missed by many forces if there is no heir. The old Marquis of Wimbledon was not affected by the Augustus family plot because of no inherited talents. Against?

On the other hand, Sophia and Sylvia reached an agreement. She only did not consider Victor’s feelings. Victor is now a silver-tier Wind Travel shooter and has begun to emerge in the Knight circle. Killing a Great Knight was extremely cruel, unlike before. Sophia didn’t know if Victor had any affection for herself, nor was she sure if he hated herself, she had to beware. Victor will take retaliatory measures. Sophia knows that if the two fight, she is at an absolute disadvantage. She has nothing to do with Victor, she can neither fight nor kill, and Victor can be unscrupulous, even if the Chamber of Commerce dies, he will No loss.

Once Sophia has an heir, even if she is not Victor's heir, she is firmly in her current position. According to the Rule of Lords, the church supports descendant inheritance rights. In reality, the nobles pursue a strong bloodline and implement the eldest son inheritance system. Regardless of whether the heir is a family bloodline or not, as long as he arranges a partner with a family bloodline. The church never goes deep into this, otherwise it will be resisted by all the nobles.

In this case, Andre's invitation brought Sophia's imagination to life.

Natalia saw Sophia's face smiling and her two long snow-white legs twisted together, she knew her heart was moved, and she couldn't help saying: "Sophia, I think... .You should fix the relationship with Victor."

"Just say what you want." Sophia frowned, said dissatisfiedly.

Many wild knights will choose to work for the Chamber of Commerce. They use the resources of the Chamber of Commerce to improve their Knight level, and use the connections of the Chamber of Commerce as a springboard, and finally join the power of the major lords to win one The future. Natalia and Sophia joined Wimbledon's Chamber of Commerce at the same time. They support each other and have a deep relationship. They can be called Life and Death Friends. After Sophia took over the Chamber of Commerce, Natalia became her confidant, and there was no topic between them that could not be discussed.

"Sophia, I know you need an heir. Victor has now realized the Wind Element, the bloodline is noble and ancient, and is still above Andre. He is your husband again. Why do you need to be Andre's lover What? I remember, you hate strong men the most, didn't you like Victor very much?" Natalia said bluntly.

"Half of it was true, and half was for Catherine to see." Sophia said with a bitter smile: "Victor now has strength, strategy, and ambition. He is no longer the little husband I like. Now. And he hates me the most."

"You look so beautiful, even I look at it. Are you afraid that you won't be able to capture Victor again?" Natalia teased.

Sophia asked: "The ancient bloodline is notoriously difficult to bear. Can you keep Victor by my side? Don’t forget, he now belongs to Sylvia."

Na Talia was speechless, so she shook her head and said, "I always think Andre has problems. Before Golden Knight is promoted, he must clarify his pursuit and path. Most people choose to guard the family. Andre is the Duke of Gremork. The younger brother, logically speaking, he should guard the Grimmock family. But what do you think he did? First, he joined the Augustus family. After being rejected by Lora, he returned to the Borui Kingdom and immediately married Duke Crist. The eldest daughter of the eldest daughter. Isn’t Andre’s Knight’s way of getting married?"

"Every Knight’s pursuit have nothing common with each other." Sophia pondered for a moment, said with a smile: "Sylvia won’t be there. Is it the Guardian of the York family?"

"That's different. His Royal Highness Sylvia joined the York family as a trainee Knight. Who would have thought that she was the Fire Knight." Natalia continued: " There is only one possibility for Andre to do this. He has greater ambitions! It is not a wise choice for you to be with him."

"It makes sense."

Sophia supports Body, yelled in Barbarian language. The wooden door was pushed abruptly, and the female Barbarian Rigzo came in and asked Sophia. Natalia's heart suddenly tightened when she saw Regzo's rough face full of tattoos.

Rigzo and Sophia chatted a few words in Barbarian, then groaned and retired, and closed the door heavily.

"What did she just say to you?" Natalia asked not knowing what to do. She now knows that Rigzo is a Barbarian warrior comparable to Golden Knight, so she naturally feels heavy pressure.

"It doesn't matter what she said." Sophia curl one's lip said gracefully: "I want you to know that no matter what Andre's ambitions are, we don't need to care."

"Remember that night fourteen years ago? We carried Mithril, and in order to avoid Suse Kingdom's inspection team, we chose to take a detour from the dusk forest and walk around at night. As a result, we encountered a whole group of wolves. At that time. I and you are only trainee Knight. If it weren't for you to save me, I would have filled the gull's belly." Sophia stood up, pointed on Natalia's breastplate, lightly said, "When it rains, The scars here still hurt?"

"I'm used to it." Natalia remembered the green years, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I have not forgotten the scars you left, nor have I forgotten Aunt Helen in the tavern to make a living for my livelihood, and have not forgotten the thorns under my feet. I swear, no one can take everything from us! Solon can’t, Andre can’t, and Victor can’t!"

When Sophia looked up, Natalia found that her purple eyes had become jade green, like a bottomless pool.
