Facing the erosion of hopeless family territory, the heir Herbert finally shot.
The rectification of sales channels and taxation of the territory in the early stage was carried out in his name. Therefore, when the income is divided, he will naturally have his share, and it is quite a large part-even if the church is arrogant, it will never dare to challenge the aristocracy Traditional interests. Many people live by the rules, and it will be everyone without the rules. Cecil can do many things to suppress Herbert, but today he dares to put a finger on Herbert's noble rights, and tomorrow the Empire will dare to destroy most unprotected branches of the church!
The war more than a hundred years ago only proved one thing-the empire has not lost more than combat power!
By then, the church without God will definitely lose! Of course, the "Discussion of Man and God" signed by the Great Emperor at that time separated the man and in only one thousand years. In terms of the lifespan of countries in different worlds, this time is really not very long ... the church cannot be explained at that time. In short, it is precisely because both sides have scruples that a stable situation can be maintained, and both sides strive to fight under the premise of fighting without breaking through.
With money in hand, Herbert released a large number of missions in one breath-these missions cover all aspects of the territory. If they are really carried out, they will not only take up three or four months of mercenaries in the entire Black Town, but will also be black. The town brings a real change!
The mercenary is the power of the black town and it is also an unstable factor. Using the uneasy factors of Blacktown to such a degree, and finding a feasible way in the cracks, it can be said that the heir of Herbert is really worthy of the title of "Shan's family are geniuses and lunatics"! But it is a pity that even the most beautiful plan will become a ridiculous product after the hands of Cecile Knight are deleted and modified-the genius is gone, only the lunatics are left.
Those seemingly reasonable rewards are naturally impossible to pass, and those that seem meaningful are treated likewise. Only those who are just some kind of attempt, put little effort, and do not expect success ... Nowadays, they are taken out with great fanfare.
Even the church has attached a part of a reward to increase the attractiveness of the task and ... absurdity!
For example, the description of one of the missions is like this, "The bounty notice: The pirate ghost hidden in the deep sea and always attacking on the night of the full moon can be converted between the incorporeal and the physical. Even if they are destroyed, they will be resurrected on the next full moon night, as long as the resentment is still there, they will never die there ...
However, by observing the style of clothing, you can be sure that they were pirates during their lifetime. As we all know, pirates are cruel and greedy, and their thirst for gold is endless! After the ghosts die, they retain the strongest part of their desires, so can these ghosts be bought?
It is recommended to use gold powder, goldware, and gold coins to try to buy the pirate ghosts, etc ... "
Such a ridiculous task, the reward is as high as 1,000 gold coins!
The mercenaries burst into laughter and were taken over by a powerful mercenary group!
Since the last Duke committed suicide, the cleanup of the Duke's leadership has been carried out intermittently for four or five years. It can be described as a black town of iron, a mercenary in water. Those who are veteran in Blacktown have known for a long time what the real danger areas around Blacktown are-the Boss activity area. Although everyone knows that going to those areas can definitely make money, but no one easily goes to those places to die.
Just like pirate ghosts, their "sleeping" areas are no secret. This task itself does not need to challenge the Boss. In fact, as long as you take a boat to that area, and then dump the "gold" from the sea, it will naturally sink to the bottom of the sea where the pirate ghost sleeps-this task is simply no easier!
Of course, gold is impossible! The reward for the entire mission is only a thousand gold coins, and Herbert will not provide gold ... Really, the mercenaries should run with these. Anyway, in addition to gold, there is a yellow metal in the world called Fool ’s Gold, which is similar to gold ... The brain with the pirate ghost ’s brain all rotten, should not be able to distinguish the difference between the two.
Many people suspect that this task is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there must be something stupid in it.
However, there was no ... no pits, no conspiracy--the mercenary group brought a few sacks of golden cans and gold coins to the sea, and then took advantage of the calm afternoon to throw all the fake gold into the sea! Waiting for them to come back ... Ten full bags of gold coins are waiting for them in the main palace! This time it is real gold coins!
When they left carrying their money bags, the mercenaries were completely mad! Those messy tasks were suddenly picked up!
At the bottom of the sea, a skinny boned hand picked up the gold sinking on the mud and scraped it with sharp nails. The flickering golden powder fell from the vessel, revealing the black below ... Even if it was a layer of fool's gold, they could not bear too much, and the inside was iron.
Bone hands clenched tightly! The cast iron twisted and broken in the bone hand and was crumpled into iron slag!
...
"Herbert, big ... that's your father, he's not human!" Herbert still remembers what Shen Yan said to him when he told the "game plot", his mouth twitched. "After a period of large-scale excavation, his funds began to become less abundant. In desperation, your father began to resell the strange antiques dug out to the empire in exchange for funds for continued excavation. The riots and repression, the robbers of the south gathered in the wilderness of the territory, and land traffic was almost cut off.
Fortunately, there is a small pier behind your manor, so your father hired a team of notorious pirates to transport them. The pirates repulsed the robbers on land, and they set a price on your father and demanded high compensation. In desperation, your father can only promise to pay the next day.
As a result, he secretly came to the harbour that night and imposed all magic and curses on the ships and anchors. The anchor sank with the ship to the bottom of the sea, the pirates were all killed, and turned into ghosts under the magic of the undead, climbed ashore every full moon night to escape debt from your father ... "
What does this have to do with non-humans? Herbert asked helplessly, this practice is very common among nobles? What a ghost is a ghost.
"Then what do you mean?"
"So you understand? Although this ghost looks powerful, its shortcomings are also obvious. That bill is their obsession. If you really help your father pay the bill, then their grievances will dissipate. , It will die on its own within a short time. "
"Do you want me to pool money to pay the bill?"
"No, I'm curious what will happen if I cheat them again?" Old Shen smiled coolly, and Herbert couldn't help shivering.
...
"The debt will be paid!" A wooden leg stepped on, and the gilded iron jar was pierced like mud!
"The debt will be paid!" The dragged pirate scimitar cuts the passing stone into a deep dent!
"Debt will be repaid!" Numerous rotten corpses, with their bones exposed, dressed in ragged clothes, drilled out of the sea mud!
"Debt will be repaid!" The mighty dead pirates are marching under the sea directed at Blacktown!
This time it was not a full moon.
"Reward notice: Mr. Herbert seems to have found a way to restrain the Siren Siren by reading through the ancient books, that is-the mirror! The Siren Siren can manipulate the sea water and the human heart, and it is extremely powerful! But she seems afraid to see herself 'S ugly image ...
To confirm this view, Mr. Herbert will provide a reward of 150 gold coins and four metal mirrors to any warrior who can help him verify this idea! "
mirror? Can beat Siren? Are you kidding me? !
Seeing this announcement, almost all mercenaries feel incredible! Siren is one of the so-called newcomer killers. I do n’t know how many newcomers because they did not block their ears in time. As a result, they were confused by Siren ’s singing and became her captive. Not only drowned in the sea, but also turned into a marine puppet manipulated by Siren.
But if this announcement is true ... Everyone is tempted! The problem is not that the one hundred and fifty gold coins are rewarded, but that the area where Siren is located has never been conquered by adventurers! Countless treasures can be hidden there! If Lord Herbert said it true, a mirror can drive away Siren, which is simply great news!
As long as there is a possibility of 1% in this matter, it is worth 100% effort! How to get rich without risking!
Needless to say, all the powerful mercenary groups set off towards the ocean with mirrors! For a time, the mirror of Heizhen was fired to high prices! Also let a pre-hoarded monopoly dogs and men make a fortune!
It turns out that Herbert really didn't lie to them! The ever-powerful Siren Siren wailed and fled under the illumination of countless mirrors! As long as she saw her image in the mirror, she would scream like she was burned, turned her head and ran ... she was so panic that she hit the wall and never looked back!
The people who came later didn't even see the Boss Siren, and they were stunned by the treasures everywhere! The next thing is naturally to join the ranks of grabbing money ... That day, the mercenary regiments who dare to launch all made a lot of money! Pearls, corals, and hawksbill turtles filled their pockets, and everyone returned with full load! Celebrate crazy!
...
When the sea cave was looted and the adventurers left with a happy smile, the Siren Siren climbed back to her own cave again.
There is nothing left here, except ... mirrors everywhere, intact and broken ...
A woman's hand trembled and picked up a metal mirror that was intact and stood before her eyes. I saw an ugly, gritty murloc head appearing in the mirror! Ringworm spots are clustered on the face of the fish skin, conch and organs are unified, and sharp and jagged teeth stick out from the ugly fish lips ... Even the deepest nightmare cannot describe the ugly face in the mirror!
The Kraken cried, and big tears fell on the stone floor, rolling into a new pearl.
Her claws gradually clenched, the metal mirror twisted in her claws, and the characters in the mirror also twisted!
...
"That, Shen Yan, what is the story about Banshee Siren? What is the purpose of this?"
"Not all because of big shit! Your father, he ..."
"I understand, he is not human!"
