Vol 49 Chapter 16: : Hidden treasure

The nib of the pen was written on the paper, and the liquid flame lacquer was poured into the lower corner of the endorsement. It stood still for a few seconds, and a ring-like lord emblem was pressed on. When the lord emblem was removed, a mark appeared.
After Su Xiao picked up the approval on the table, he looked at the city lord of the red dwarf opposite, who was the last of the eight city lords. Seeing Su Xiao's gaze, the city lord of the red dwarf immediately signed a contract on the table.
Please don't misunderstand, this is a serious contract, provided by the relevant institutions of the main city, in order to further strengthen the lord's control over the city lord, otherwise, each city lord is equivalent to a smaller lord.
Let Baja send away the red dwarf city lord. Only Su Xiao and Boubo Wang, who was sleeping on the bed behind him, were left in the guest room. With a bang, the lights were turned off. Su Xiao sat in the dark and thought. This time, the opponent is the lord. Steward, it is too vulnerable.
His original plan was for the eight city lords who were in desperate need of supplies to confront the butler. Even if they were victorious, the eight lords should have to pay some price, but this was not the case. The death of the butler was in the plan. , but these eight city masters won too easily.
This made Su Xiao think of two possibilities. One is the little lord of Winterfell, Guerwei. It's not as simple as it seems. Who is the puppet? It's really unclear. Lord's shield.
It's not impossible that a ten-year-old human girl has inherited her father's lordship, and she is still in the cold and far away from the main city. There are famous lords, and there are many family forces. Among these people, there are inevitably those who spy on the position of the lord.
If it was the little lord Gulvey who stood on his own, then the assassinations and calculations from the outside world would definitely come straight to her.
On the other hand, if the little lord Gulvey seems to be just a puppet, then those with ulterior motives must first clean up the favorite butler. Once the butler is killed, the little lord Gulvey will hide deeper, and then continue. Pretending to act with the mind of a child, in fact, the heart is waiting for the opportunity.
In addition, there is another possibility that the little lord Gulvey is indeed just an ordinary noble lady, but her temperament is relatively melancholy, and she likes to wear darker dresses, which gives people such conjectures, and the real behind-the-scenes support The stewards are the hidden forces of Winterfell City.
As far as the housekeeper's personal ability has not lived tonight, Su Xiao really doesn't believe it. Such a person can take away the authority of a lord. The lord council is not a decoration. The father of the little lord Gulvey also had many friends during his lifetime. .
Although it is said that people take the tea to cool, but let a housekeeper vacate the power of a lord, after the news spread, it is indeed a bit of a disgrace to the lord council.
Then there is only one possibility, that is, the cost of cleaning up the housekeeper is much greater than losing some face, so the lord council turned a blind eye.
Su Xiao first thought that someone in the seven major families secretly supported the housekeeper, but then he thought that the seven major families could not engage in such low-level activities. Besides, the seven patriarchs of the seven major families are the seven most powerful. The lord of the orc race, whether it is openly or secretly, is impossible to bully his own people.
Su Xiao also thought about whether the sea clan secretly supported the housekeeper. After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that this was unlikely. The housekeeper could rely on the sea clan for power.
This is not a question of whether it is dare or not, but whether it is worth it. If you fight for power and power among your own people, the worst outcome is death, but if you take refuge in the sea clan, once you are discovered, you will immediately be escorted to the "Shagu City". ', to suffer the punishment of soul purgatory.
Excluding the sea clan, Su Xiao began to think about whether it was a sect in this world. There are three relatively powerful sects in this world, Sea God Religion, Alien Beast Religion, and Dark God Religion.
The Sea God Cult was the first to rule it out, and the suspicion of the Alien Beast Cult was also very small. This sect had nothing to do with the alien beasts in this world. The sect was full of ascetic monks. As long as they didn’t take the initiative to provoke them, they would treat people peacefully.
Then there is only the Dark God Cult. It can be said that where there is an abyss invasion, there are these guys. Before Su Xiao thought that the Dark God Cult was just a sect in the Shadow World, he found that it was not the case when he arrived at Fenghai Continent.
One thing is the same, no matter which world they are in, the aborigines hate these guys who believe in the abyss. In the Fenghai Continent, the dark religion is not rampant, and the orcs and the sea are really too strong.
When Su Xiao was thinking about whether this matter was secretly supported by the Dark God Sect, Baja returned and whispered: "Boss, the two city lords are here and want to see you."
The two city lords mentioned by Baja were naturally the two who had colluded with the housekeeper before. Now that the housekeeper is dead, it is conceivable that these two came to the door.
There are ten big cities on the fief, ten city lords, to be precise, nine official city lords, one acting city lord, and the acting city lord temporarily manages "Winter City", but after Su Xiao arrived at "Winter City", The acting city lord will become a deacon and will be responsible for assisting the lord to manage "Winter City", but after Su Xiao arrives at "Winter City", the acting city owner can resign.
In this regard, the acting city lord has no objection. After all, Su Xiao gave too much compensation for his resignation. After he resigned, Pilu of the spotted fox tribe was used as the deacon. Now Pilu has gone to "Winter City" overnight to carry out Handover.
In other words, there are still nine city lords 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 butler's head.
Su Xiao motioned to Baja to let the two people in. After the two city lords entered the room, Su Xiao found that the two city lords were a pure-blood orc and the other was a wolf clan. The wolf clan was named Fenris. Of the two, he was clearly the leader.
"Lord Lord, we..."
Before Fenris finished speaking, Su Xiao had already raised his hand to interrupt. He said, "We originally invited two people to tonight's dinner, but my people were delayed along the way."
Hearing Su Xiao's remarks, Fenris and the orc city lord on the side looked at each other, and then their faces were full of smiles. Fenris took the initiative to pick up the teapot on the table and poured most of Su Xiao's empty teacup.
Su Xiao seems to be chatting about today's dinner party, but what he actually means is that the housekeeper's matter will be turned over, and he is not going to investigate the collusion between the two people and the housekeeper.
If you follow the normal process, or if you don't see these two people at all, or make a few sarcastic words, then clean up these two people and let the other city lords on the fief see, this is the end of collusion with others.
Handling it in this way seems to be neat and tidy, but in fact, it will immediately become a loner. Of 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 peaceful.
The city lords on the fief must know the fact that the housekeeper took over the power in the hands of the little lord Gulwei, but if those seven city lords, who care about the old lord's old feelings, should put some pressure on the housekeeper, not to mention the full support of the little lord Gu Erwei, that's a little unrealistic, but at least the little lord Guerwei can't even get out of the manor and be placed under house arrest.
The seven city lords 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 stood on the steward's side, at least they stood up. More importantly, in Su Xiao Before taking over the "Winter City fief", Fenris and the big city of the orc city master each had more than 700 units of food stocks. Although it was not enough to survive this winter, "Winter City" only had more than 500 units of food at that time. Inventory only.
The big city managed by these two city lords has more grain stocks than the core city of the fief, Midwinter City. In addition, these grains were not taken from other big cities in the fief, but by the two city lords according to their abilities.
At this time, Su Xiao has just taken over the feudal lands of Mudong City. Should he prefer the seven city lords who like to wait and see the changes and not make the first bird, or should he reuse the two guys who like to take the initiative to stand up now?
The answer is obvious. Su Xiao needs a city lord who is willing to stand up. He went to the "Winter City Fief", not really for the fief, but to secretly develop the Zerg there, and to get away from trivial matters. , to find the Wolf Tomb, the Soul Reaper, and the shards of the "Initial Mark" that may be discovered at any time.
"Sir, you don't find it strange that a mere butler dares to stand up against you."
Fenris opened his mouth with a smile on his face, and his tone was a little closer than before.
"Tell me."
Su Xiao put down the teacup, Fenris immediately picked up the teapot and filled it up, and said at the same time: "The easiest to ignore, and the most dangerous."
Fenris did not directly clarify that under such circumstances, he dared to make such a riddle-like speech, or he was too long-lived, or the party involved had a strong prophecy or causality.
Su Xiao immediately thought of the tribe camp, the three major forces in this world, the orcs, the sea tribe, and the tribe.
If you lay the map of Fenghai Continent on a flat surface, you will see the tribal camp's territory, just below the orc camp, but why are the orcs and the sea clan fighting in the dark, but ignore the tribe at all?
The reason is that there is a highly toxic swamp between the territory of the orcs and the tribe, while the west side of the tribe is a wetland swamp, the east is a mangrove swamp, and behind it is the "dark rain belt", the "dark rain belt" is the most dangerous creature restricted area in the world. , which is similar to the danger level of the "Eternal Sealing Icefield" on the northernmost side of the Sea Clan's territory.
Over the years, it's not that the Orcs have not considered the threat of the tribe, and they also want to clean up the area in the past, but the terrain around the tribe's territory is too harsh, either a poisonous area or an erosion area.
This also leads 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 orcs.
It was the tribe who supported the housekeeper behind the scenes. This was something Su Xiao didn't expect. There must be a reason for this.
Seemingly aware of Su Xiao's doubts, Wolf Clan Fenris whispered: "My lord, I have heard a rumor that after the death of the old lord, he actually left behind 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 Fenris' remarks, Su Xiao was suddenly very interested in this artifact. The reason was that he had reached the stage where he needed "primitive fragments", because just 1 second ago, when Fenris mentioned "primordial fragments", Su Xiao received a reminder from Reincarnation Paradise.
[Hint: Checking the existing resources of the hunter is enough to raise the ability of a technique to Lv.80. Under this premise, some information on the "primitive fragment" has been opened to you. 】
Before, Su Xiao didn't know the specific function of the "primitive fragment". He only heard from Bai Niu that he needed this thing to break through his own limits and reach the level of "extremely powerful", and to "extremely powerful" After the level, this thing is more needed.
When Bai Niu was at the peak of the ninth order, he did not know how much hardship he had to go through to get 5 "primitive fragments", and after Su Xiao healed Bai Niu's sister's old injury, Bai Niu originally wanted to give Su Xiao 2-3 "primitive fragments"
At least, when Su Xiao is at the peak of the ninth order, when he moves towards the
superpower
, don’t be as difficult as he was at the beginning.
However, the "primitive fragments" in the void are too rare. Bai Niu only got one piece. Counting the one given by Bai Niu and the one obtained in the Shadow World last time, Su Xiao has a total of two "primitive fragments".
The reason why he needs this thing is because the resources he holds at this stage are enough to raise the master of swordsmanship to Lv.80. In a sense, the first upper limit of the master of swordsmanship is Lv.80, but instead of Saying it's an upper limit is more of a barrier.
Combining the three "primitive fragments" into one, you can use this to break through the upper limit of sword master Lv.80 and reach a new height. After that, Su Xiao's upper limit level of swordsmanship will soar, at least to Lv. 90, or even higher.
A skill that breaks through Lv.80 requires three pieces of "primitive fragments", and three pieces equals nine pieces. Do you think this is the end? Not really.
"Absolutely strong" is not just a title, it is actually a clear ladder of strength. To advance from the ninth level to the "extremely strong" requires the "primitive power" composed of five "primitive fragments" to break through to "Superpower" level.
In this way, reaching the ultimate powerhouse can not only bring about the improvement of all attributes, but also gain other aspects, which will greatly increase the strength.
This is also the reason why Brother Ruthen has not made progress towards the "superpower" until now. Obviously, the "primitive fragments" are not enough. The four-skill master + five pieces to break through the superpower require a total of seventeen pieces, while the magic sickle Tai Reed, should be about the same number of "primitive fragments" that Su Xiao needs, after all, it is the ability of the abyss.
Thinking of it this way, when Su Xiao spent 100 ounces of space-time power to open the Abyss Store, he made a lot of money. The reason is that "primitive fragments" can be purchased in the Abyss Store notarized by the Tree of Void.
【Original Fragment】
category:? ? ?
Inventory Quantity: ? ? ? (Hunter reputation is too low to view).
Exchange price: 3820 precipitation glass.
...
It's true that "Precipitation Glass" is rare, but at the very least, it's something that can be bought with soul coins. In the three chambers of commerce that Su Xiao patronized, they all sell it, but one is more expensive than the other and requires a large amount of soul Coins, at this moment Su Xiao once again felt that no matter how many soul coins he got, it was not enough.
"Tell me about the origin of this secret treasure."
Of course Su Xiao is not going to let go of these two "primitive fragments", even if it's just rumors, it's worth a try. Besides, the tribe's voodoo warlocks, witch doctors, etc. are willing to participate in this matter, which represents the possibility of the existence of this treasure. The is extremely high, otherwise, how could they come to Dusk City from thousands of miles away, and secretly support the famous housekeeper.
After listening to the description of the Wolf Clan Fenris, Su Xiao had a basic understanding of this treasure. This thing is the family secret treasure of the little lord Gulway, because there has never been an "absolutely strong" in the family, or it is close to "absolutely strong". The "strong" powerful family owner, this thing has been handed down all the time.
This secret, until little lord Gulvey's parents died in an accident, and little lord Gulvey was too young, she didn't know the value of this secret treasure, only because it was a relic left by her father, she always wore it. By his side, it was not until a maid quietly stole the secret treasure while the little lord Gulvey was sleeping, that the matter completely spread.
At present, in the fief of Winterfell, not only the people from the tribe are secretly searching for this secret treasure, but most of the local families, as well as the city lords of various big cities, are also secretly searching.
"Fenris, leave this to the two of you, when it's done..."
Su Xiao put his thumb and index finger together, and clicked on the approval on the table, which made Fenris and the orc city master promise that this matter would be done.
After the two left, Su Xiao came to the bed and pushed Boubo Wang off the bed.
"Woo~"
Boubo Wang lazily whimpered.
"gone."
"Woo~"
Boubowang whispered again, but there was no movement to 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. Come on, Boubo Wang shivered, his little eyes changed from confusion to panic.
Su Xiao asked Amu and Erguin to keep guarding the warehouse where a lot of supplies were stored. He took Boubowang and Baja to the teleportation tower in the fifteenth city. When the teleportation array under his feet was activated, there was no accident this time. .
The surrounding space was surging with fog. Due to the long transmission distance, the gray fog in the surrounding space dissipated after a few seconds, and a cold wind came.
Baja closed the blown window of the teleportation tower, and let out the light and hot gas lamps, so that the temperature gradually rose. When walking down the spiral staircase, Su Xiao saw that he was sitting on the seat with an empty wine bottle in his hand. A sleeping old guard.
When you exit the space tower, you can see the scene covered in silver. The buildings in Winterfell are mostly four to five stories. The steel pipes are exposed on the outer walls. The temperature they emit melts the frost and snow on the walls. 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 a layer, only the bus train track in the middle is exposed. After getting on the bus train, the familiar sound of frying and the aroma floated. Su Xiao heard the sound and saw that it was in front of the bus train. In the kitchen counter, a snack similar to fried is being cooked. It is said that the unique snack in the main city is also available in the northern land. It seems that the meal crew who met for the first time was fooled.
Dusk Winter City is not as big as Yonghuan City, and it is cold, but there is an indescribable sense of harmony here. Although it is almost six o'clock in the morning, the sky is still dark, and there are many shops on the street with lights on. The warm-toned lighting makes the streetscape more pleasant.
Taking the bus to the Houcheng District, Su Xiao got off the bus, walked into a small forest, and walked along the path in the forest for a while, and a manor appeared in front, which was the lord's manor in Winter Night City.
The area of ​​the entire manor is about the size of a football field. Compared with the lords of other fiefs, this is already very frugal. It can be seen that the parents of the little lord Gulvey should all have a sense of majesty, but as long as they live, they can guarantee The lord's face does not seek luxurious people.
There were no guards on both sides of the main entrance. Judging from the footprints, there were originally, and after the housekeeper was killed, these minions ran away.
Following the Yong Road in the manor, Su Xiao came to the front of the castle, and after opening the castle door, he did not feel warm, but the cold feeling that he had not been warm for a long time.
Walking through the corridor with windows on one side, and going 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, he heard the deliberately lowered breathing inside, and one of them chose to hold his breath.
Su Xiao pointed his finger on the door, and the whole door instantly crystallized and then shattered. As the door shattered, warm air wafted out of the room. In the huge castle, only this bedroom was heated.
"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 behind her, pressing on the little girl's back.
This little girl has a melancholy temperament. She is wearing a gold and black dress. Depending on the style, it looks like a Gothic dress. The gold thread pattern on it means that the dress is of great value. Obviously, this is the little lord Gulvey. .
"You, what do you want to do."
Although the maid was terrified, she still protected the little lord Gulvey 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 had breakfast yet, Boob, you go to restore the heating line of this ancient castle, Baja, go to the ten near the manor. Several dark posts have been slaughtered."
Both Boubo Wang and Baja walked out of the castle. Su Xiao went down to the second underground floor of the castle. After lifting up a large rock floor tile, he grabbed the sand that was paved below~EbookFREE.me~The underground is normal , it is no problem to quietly build a worm nest under the castle.
Su Xiao started to draw a map, and wanted to summon Jila to the Fenghai Continent, but it was not an easy task, and it was impossible to do it by conventional methods. Fortunately, he obtained a rare thing a long time ago, this thing is called [ The Blade of Transcendence].
[Blade of detachment (special item, you can use this item to temporarily break the outer space barrier of detachment and original world, so that individuals whose body size does not exceed a certain level can enter the detachment and original world). 】
After more than an hour of engraving, Su Xiaocai completed the summoning pattern. He pressed the pattern with one hand to activate it, and the next second, the prompt of the tree of the void appeared.
[Warning (Void Tree): The alien master-level war creature has been checked, and respond to this call]
[War creatures: Demon Zerg. 】
[Ethnic Danger Level: Ultra-high intensity. 】
[Warning (Void Tree): This world is in the notarization stage, and this group has caused significant changes in the original world system notarized by multiple Void Trees. According to the initial regulations, you will be deducted from "a huge amount" of Void Trees Credibility. 】
