Vol 45 Chapter 16: : Hidden treasure

The tip of the pen was written on the paper, and the liquid lacquer was poured on the lower corner of the approval. After a few seconds, a ring-like emblem of the lord was pressed on. When the emblem of the lord was removed, an imprint appeared.
After Su Xiao picked up the approval letter on the table, he looked at the Red Dwarf City Lord on the opposite side. This was the last of the eight City Lords. Seeing Su Xiao cast his eyes, the Red Dwarf City Lord immediately signed a contract on the table.
Please don't get me wrong, this is a serious contract, provided by the relevant agencies of the main city, to further strengthen the lord's control over the lord, otherwise, each lord is equivalent to the smaller lord.
Let Baha send away the Red Dwarf City Lord. Only Su Xiao and Bobowang who are sleeping on the back bed are left in the guest room. With a snap, the light is turned off. Su Xiao sits in the dark and thinks. This time the opponent, too It's the leader's house, it's too vulnerable.
His original plan was to let the eight city lords who are in desperate need of supplies go to fight the butler. Even if they win, the eight lords should pay some price, but the actual situation is not the case. The butler’s death is in the plan. , But the eight city owners won too easily.
This made Su Xiao think of two possibilities. One is the little lord of Mu Dongcheng, Gulwei, who is not as simple as it seems. It is really unclear who is the puppet. Maybe the housekeeper is this little lord. The lord's shield.
This is not impossible. A ten-year-old human girl inherited her father’s lordship, and she was still in the cold and far away from the main city in the Northland. The entire Twilight City fief, except for one Famous lords, and many family forces, among these people, it is inevitable that there are those who spy on the lords.
If the little lord Gulvi had stood up to stand alone, all the assassinations and calculations from the outside world would definitely come straight to her.
On the other hand, if the little lord Gulvi looks like a puppet, then he must be the happiest butler to clean up the bouncer first. Once the butler is killed, the little lord Gulvi will hide deeper, and then continue. Pretend to act with the mind of a child, but the heart is actually waiting for an opportunity.
In addition, there is another possibility that the little lord Gulvi is indeed just an ordinary noble lady, but her temperament is more melancholy, and she likes to wear darker dresses, which gives people this kind of conjecture, and really supports behind the scenes. The steward is the secret force of Mudongcheng.
With the personal ability of the butler, who has not survived tonight, Su Xiao really does not believe that such a person can take over the authority of a lord. The lord council is not a decoration. The father of the little lord Gulwei also had many friends during his lifetime. .
Although people take the tea to cool, but let a housekeeper evade the power of a lord, when this matter spread out, it was indeed a bit embarrassing for the lord council.
Then there is only one possibility, that is, the price of cleaning up the steward is much greater than losing some face, so the Lords Council turned one eye and closed one eye.
Su Xiao first thought that someone in the Seven Great Families would secretly support the housekeeper, but then she thought that the Seven Great Families could not engage in such low-level activities. Furthermore, the seven Patriarchs of the Seven Great Families are the seven most powerful. The Lord of the Orc, whether on the surface or in the dark, it is impossible to bully his own people.
Su Xiao also thought about whether he would secretly support the steward for the sea clan. After thinking for a moment, he felt that it was impossible. The steward could take refuge in the sea clan for power. This made sense, but the two city masters who could collude with the steward, what did they do?
This is not a question of whether you dare to dare or not, but it is worth it. If you are fighting for power among your own people, the worst result of losing is your death. But if you take refuge in the sea clan, once you are found, you will be escorted to the "Sand Bone City." ", to endure the punishment of soul purgatory.
Excluding the Sea Clan, Su Xiao began to think about whether the sects in this world have three powerful sects, namely Poseidon, Poseidon, and Dark God.
The Poseidon Sect was the first to rule out, and the suspicion of Alien Beastism is also very small. This sect has nothing to do with the alien beasts in this world. There are ascetic monks in the sect. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them, they treat people peacefully.
Then only the Dark God Sect is left. It can be said that where there is an abyssal invasion, there are these guys. Before Su Xiao believed that the Dark God Sect was only a sect in the shadow world. After arriving in Fenghai Continent, he discovered that it was not the case.
One thing is the same. No matter which world they are in, the aboriginal people hate these people who believe in the abyss. In Fenghai Continent, the dark gods are not rampant, and the orcs and sea races are really too strong.
While Su Xiao was thinking about whether this matter was secretly supported by the Dark God Sect, Baha returned and said in a low voice: "Boss, the two city masters are here and want to see you."
The two city masters mentioned by Baha were naturally the two who had colluded with the housekeeper before, and the housekeeper is now dead. The purpose of these two people looking for the door can be imagined.
The ten big cities on the fief, the ten city owners, to be precise, are nine official city owners, one acting city owner, and that acting city owner is temporarily in charge of "Twilight City", but after Su Xiao arrived in "Twilight City", The acting city lord will become the deacon, responsible for assisting the lord to manage the "Twilight Winter City", but after Su Xiao arrives in the "Twilight Winter City", the acting city owner can retire.
Regarding this, the acting city lord had no objection. After all, Su Xiao paid too much compensation for resignation. After he resigned, Pilu, the spotted fox tribe, was the deacon. Right now, Pilu had gone to the "Twilight City" overnight. Handover.
In other words, there are still nine city masters on the fief, two of them are already outside the door, and the remaining seven are those who attended today's dinner and took down the head of the steward.
Su Xiao motioned to Baha to let the two people in. After the two city owners walked into the room, Su Xiao found the two city owners, one was a pure-blood orc, the other was a wolf clan, and the wolf clan was named Fenris. Of the two, he is clearly headed.
"Lord Lord, we..."
Before Fenris had finished speaking, Su Xiao had already raised his hand and interrupted. He said, "Originally, two of you were invited to the dinner today, but my people were delayed along the way."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Fenris and the Orc City Lord on the side looked at each other, and his faces were full of smiles. Fenris took the initiative to pick up the teapot on the table and poured half of Su Xiaokong's teacup.
Su Xiao seemed to be chatting about today's dinner, but what he actually expressed was that the housekeeper's affairs should be turned over here, and he is not going to investigate the collusion between the two people and the housekeeper.
If you follow the normal process, or do not see these two people at all, or make a few sarcasm, and then clean up these two people and let the other city lord in the fief see it, this is the end of collusion with others.
Such a treatment seems to be simple and neat, but in fact, it will immediately become a lonely family and the nine city lords of the fief. It seems that only the two city lords in front of them are not good things, and the other seven city lords are very safe. Is it really the case?
The butler’s overhead of power in the hands of the little lord Guervi must be known to the city lord in the fief, but if the seven city lords care about the old love of the old lord, they should put some pressure on the housekeeper, not to mention the full support of the little lord Guerwei. Erwei, that's a bit unrealistic, but at the very least, the little lord Gulwei can't even get out of the manor and be put under house arrest.
The seven city owners chose to hide in the dark and watch the changes. On the other hand, the wolf clan city lord Fenris and the orc city lord, although the two were on the side of the steward, at least they stood up, and more importantly, in Su Xiao Before taking over the "Fellow of the Twilight City", the large cities of Fenris and the Orc City Lord each had more than 700 units of food inventory. Although it was not enough to survive this winter, the "Twilight City" only had more than 500 units of food at the time. Inventory only.
The big cities managed by these two city masters had more food stocks than the fief's core city, Mudongcheng, and the addition of these foods was not forcibly seized from other big cities in the fief, but the two city masters each got it by their own ability.
At this time, Su Xiaogang took over the fief of Mu Dongcheng. Should he prefer the seven city owners who like to watch the changes and do not be the first bird, or reuse these two guys who like to stand up?
The answer is obvious. Su Xiao needs a city lord who is willing to stand up. He went to the "Twilight Winter City fief", not really for the fief. He wanted to secretly develop the Zerg there and get out of trivial matters. , To find the wolf mound, the soul of death, and fight for the "initial mark" fragments that may be found at any time.
"My lord, it's not surprising to you that a butler in a mere guilty dare to stand up against you."
Fenris spoke with a smile, his tone closer than before.
"Tell me."
Su Xiao put down the teacup, Fenris immediately picked up the teapot to fill it up, and said at the same time: "The easiest thing to ignore is also the most dangerous."
Fenris did not directly point out that under these circumstances, he still dared to make such a riddle-like speech, or it was too long, or the party involved had a strong prophecy or causality.
Su Xiao immediately thought of the tribal camp. The three major forces in the world, the Orcs, the Seas, and the Tribes, are fighting too hard, making people subconsciously ignore the Voodoo Tribe.
If you spread the map of the Fenghai Continent on a flat surface, you will see the tribal camp site, just below the orc camp, but why the orcs and sea clan fight the sky dimly, but completely ignore the tribe?
The reason is that the territories between the orcs and the tribe are poisonous swamps, while the west of the tribe is the wetland swamp, the east is the mangrove swamp, and the back is the "dark rain belt". The "dark rain belt" is the most dangerous creature restricted area in the world. , And the degree of danger is similar to that of the "Eternally Sealed Ice Field" on the northernmost side of the Hai Clan's territory.
For so many years, the orcs have not considered the threat of the tribe, but also wanted to clean up there in the past, but the terrain around the tribe’s territory was too bad, either a venomous area or an erosion area.
This has also led to that 99% of the alien beasts in this world are on the territory of the tribe, don't think that the territory there is small, it is equivalent to one-third of the territory of the orc race.
It was the tribe who supported the steward behind the scenes. Su Xiao didn't expect this. There must be a reason for this.
As if perceiving Su Xiao's doubts, Wolf Race Fenris whispered: "My lord, I have heard a rumor that after the death of the old lord, he actually left a secret treasure."
"Secret treasure?"
Su Xiao frowned, he was not very interested in this secret treasure.
"Yes, the secret treasure, it is said that the core of the secret treasure is two original fragments."
Hearing what Fenris said, Su Xiao was suddenly very interested in this secret treasure. The reason was that he had reached the stage where he needed the "primary fragment" very much, because just 1 second ago, when Fenris mentioned the "primitive fragment", Su Xiao received a reminder from Reincarnation Paradise.
[Reminder: Checking the existing resources of the hunter is enough to raise a skill ability to Lv.80. Under this premise, part of the data of the "Original Fragment" has been opened to you. 】
Before, Su Xiao didn’t know the specific role of the
primitive fragments
. He only heard from the white cow. He wanted to break through his own limits and reach the level of the
extremely strong
. After the level, this thing is even more needed.
When Bai Niu was at the peak of Tier Nine, I don’t know how many hardships he went through to make up 5 "primary fragments". After Su Xiao healed Bai Niu’s old sister’s injuries, Bai Niu originally wanted to give Su Xiao 2 to 3 "primitive fragments." "At the very least, when Su Xiao is at the peak of the ninth rank, when he is striding toward the "extremely strong", don't be as difficult as he was at the beginning.
However, the "primordial fragments" in the void are too rare. Bai Niu only got one piece. Counting the piece given by Bai Niu and the one obtained last time in the Shadow World, Su Xiao has a total of two "primitive fragments."
The reason why he needs this is because the resources he holds at this stage are enough to raise the sword master to Lv.80. In a sense, the first upper limit level of the sword master is Lv.80, but it is not To say that this is the upper limit is more like a barrier.
Combining the three "primary fragments" into one, you can use this to break through the upper limit of Sword Master's Lv.80 and reach a new height. After that, Su Xiao's upper limit level of Sword Skill will soar, at least soaring to Lv. 90, or even higher.
One technique ability to break through Lv.80 requires three "primary fragments", and three are nine. Do you think it's over? Not really.
"Extremely Strong" is not just a name, it is actually a clear ladder of strength. To move from the ninth level to the "extremely strong" requires the "primitive power" composed of five "primordial fragments" to break through. The "extremely strong" level.
Reaching the strongest in this way will not only bring the improvement of all attributes, but also other aspects of gains, so that the strength will be greatly increased.
This is also the reason why Brother Ruthless has not made it to the "extremely strong" until now. Obviously, the "primary fragments" are not enough. The master of four skills + the breakthrough of the most powerful five pieces requires a total of 17 yuan, and the magic sickle Tai Lide, the number of "Primitive Fragments" that Su Xiao needs should be about the same, after all, it is an abyss type ability.
Thinking about it this way, when Su Xiaohua opened the Abyss Store with 100 ounces of space-time power, she made a lot of money. The reason is that the "Original Fragment" can be bought in the Abyss Store certified by the Void Tree.
[Original Fragment]
category:? ? ?
Inventory quantity:? ? ? (The credibility of the hunter is too low to be viewed).
Exchange price: 3820 precipitation colored glaze.
...
"Precipitating colored glaze" is rare and right, but at least it is something that can be bought with soul coins. The three chambers of commerce that Su Xiao patronizes all sell this thing, but one is more expensive than one and requires a lot of soul. Coins, at this moment Su Xiao once again felt that no matter how many soul coins he obtained, he felt that it was not enough.
"Tell me carefully about the origin of this secret treasure."
Of course, Su Xiao is not going to let go of these two "primordial fragments". Even if they are only rumors, they are worth trying. Furthermore, the tribe’s voodoo warlocks, witch doctors, etc. are willing to participate in this matter, which represents the possibility of the existence of this secret treasure. The is extremely high, otherwise, why would they come to Mudongcheng not far away and secretly support the famous butler.
After listening to the description of the wolf clan Fenris, Su Xiao has a basic understanding of this secret treasure. The powerful Patriarch, this thing has been passed down all the time.
This secret, until the little lord Gulvi’s parents both died in an accident, and the little lord Gulvi’s age was too young, she didn’t know the value of this secret treasure, she kept wearing it only because it was a relic left by her father. By his side, it was not until a maid quietly stole the secret treasure while the little lord Gulvi was sleeping, and the matter was completely spread.
At the moment in the fief of Mudongcheng, not only the people from the tribe are searching for this secret treasure in secret, most of the local families, as well as the lord of each big city, are also searching in secret.
"Fenris, leave this to you two, when it's done..."
Su Xiao's thumb and index finger were close together, and he clicked the approval letter on the table, which made Fenris and the Orc City Lord promise that they would finish the matter.
When the two of them left, Su Xiao came to the bed and pushed Bubowang who got out of the bed.
"Woo~"
Boubowan whimpered lazily.
"gone."
"Woo~"
Boubowan whispered again, but he just didn’t get up. Seeing this, Baja gave a smirk. It took out the terminal and played the audio recorded in the "Cold Graveyard" before, and the infiltrating ghost whispered. Coming, Bobo Wang shivered, his small eyes changed from confused to horrified.
Su Xiao asked Eminem and Ergin to stay in the warehouse where a large amount of supplies were stored, while he took Boubowan and Baha to the teleportation tower in the 15th district. When the teleportation array at his feet was activated, there was no accident this time. .
The surrounding space mist surging, and due to the long transmission distance, the surrounding gray space mist dissipated after a few seconds, a cold wind came, and it was cold, and the evening winter city arrived.
Baha closed the blown-open window of the teleportation tower and emitted light and hot gas lamps to gradually increase the temperature. When walking down the spiral staircase, Su Xiao saw sitting on the seat with an empty wine bottle in his hand. Sleeping elderly guard.
Outside of the space tower, the scene into the destination is covered in silver. Most of the buildings in the winter city are four to five floors. The steel pipes are exposed on the outer walls. The temperature released by them melts the frost and snow on the walls, but the roof of each building, They are all covered with white snow, with a small amount of steam leaking from some pipes. Although it is winter here, there is no strong sense of coldness visually.
The snow on the street that was too late to be cleaned has been compacted into one layer, only the bus train track in the middle is exposed. When boarding the bus train, the familiar sound of frying and aroma floats. Su Xiao heard the sound and saw that it was in front of the bus train. Inside the kitchen counter, a snack similar to pan-fried meatballs was being cooked. It was said that the main city’s unique snacks were originally found in the Northern Territory. It seemed that they had been fooled by the meal crew who met for the first time.
Mudong City is not as big as Yonghuan City, and it is cold, but here it gives a sense of harmony that people cannot tell. Although it is almost six o'clock in the morning, the sky is still dim, and there are many shops on the street with lights on. The warm-toned lighting makes the street scene more pleasant.
Take the bus to the Houcheng District, Su Xiao got off the bus, walked into a small wood, and walked for a while along the path in the forest. A manor appeared in front of him. It was the lord manor of Mudongcheng.
The area of ​​the entire manor is about the size of a football field. Compared with the lords of other fiefdoms, this is already very frugal. It can be seen that the fathers of the little lord Gulvi should all have a sense of majesty, but as long as the residence can be guaranteed The lord's face does not ask for extravagant people.
There were no guards on either side of the main entrance. Judging from the traces of the footprints, there were originally there. It must be that these minions ran away after the housekeeper was killed.
Following the yong road in the manor, Su Xiao came to the old castle, and after pushing open the old castle door, he did not feel warm, but a dark and cold feeling that had not been warmed for a long time.
Walking through the long corridor with windows on one side, and upstairs along the steps, Su Xiao was in a bedroom on the second floor and felt two breaths. When he stopped in front of the door, he knocked on the door. There was no sound inside, but with his ear power, he heard the deliberately lowered breathing inside, and one of the breaths chose to hold his breath.
Su Xiao pointed his finger on the door, and the whole door crystallized in an instant, and then it shattered. As the door shattered, warm air wafted out of the room. Only this bedroom was heated in the huge castle.
"There is no money here. Is it really worth it to attack the lord for a castle without money?"
A maid, about 30 years old, stood in front of a little girl, with one hand of the maid still protecting her back and pressing it on her back.
The little girl has a melancholy temperament. She is wearing a gold and black dress. It looks like a gothic dress depending on the style. The gold thread pattern on it means that the dress is very valuable. Obviously, this is the little lord Gulvi. .
"You, what do you want to do."
Although the maid was afraid in her heart, she still protected the little lord Gulvi behind her.
Su Xiao took out the gold coin, threw it on the small round table, and said to the maid: "Go buy some ingredients, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, Bubu, go to restore the heating pipelines of this old castle, Baja, go to the dozens of people near the manor. All secret whistle were killed."
Both Boubowan and Baha both walked outside the castle. Su Xiao went down to the second basement level of the castle and lifted up a large rock floor tile ~EbookFREE.me~ grabbed the sand grains underneath, and the underground was normal. , It’s no problem to quietly build a Worm Nest under the castle.
Su Xiao started to paint the formation map. It was not a simple matter to summon Spangler to the Fenghai Continent. It was impossible to do it with conventional methods. Fortunately, he obtained a rare object a long time ago. This object is named [ The Blade of Transcendence].
[Blade of detachment (special item, this item can be used to temporarily break the outer space barrier of detachment and the original world, allowing individuals not exceeding a certain size to enter the detachment and original world). 】
After engraving for more than an hour, Su Xiao completed the summoning formation. He pressed the formation with one hand and activated it. The next second, the prompt of the tree of void appeared.
[Warning (Void Tree): Checked to the alien master class war creatures, respond to this call]
[War Creatures: Demon Zerg. 】
[Ethnic danger: super high intensity. 】
[Warning (Void Tree): This world is in the notarization stage, and this race has caused a major change in the original world system notarized by multiple Void Trees. According to the initial regulations, you will be deducted from the "massive" Void Tree Credibility. 】
