Vol 42 Chapter 16: : Hidden treasure

The pen nib 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 lord’s emblem 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. In the guest room, only Su Xiao and Bobowang, who was sleeping on the back bed, were left. With a snap, the lights were turned off. Su Xiao sat in the dark and thought. This time the opponent is the Lord. Butler, 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 real 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.
It’s not impossible that 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 it was the little lord Gulvi who stood up and took the stand alone, all the assassinations and calculations from the outside world would definitely come straight to her.
On the contrary, if the little lord Gulvi looks like a puppet, then the one who has the unpredictable must be the happiest butler who cleans up the jumper first. Once the butler is killed, the little lord Gulvi will hide deeper and 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 eldest 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, after this story spread out, it was 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 butler, but then she thought that it is impossible for the Seven Great Families to 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 butler for the Sea Clan. After thinking for a moment, he felt that it was impossible. The butler could take refuge in the Sea Clan for his power.
It’s not a question of whether you dare or not, but it’s worth it. If you fight for power among your own people, the worst outcome you will lose is death. ", to endure the punishment of soul purgatory.
Excluding the Sea Clan, Su Xiao began to think about whether the so-called sects in this world have three powerful sects, 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 found 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 the Fenghai Continent, the dark religion is 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 whispered: "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 Winter City", but after Su Xiao arrived in "Twilight Winter City", This 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 lord 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. Now Pilu has 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 housekeeper.
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, and the other was a wolf clan. 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 glanced at the Orc City Lord on the side, and his faces were full of smiles. Fenris took the initiative to pick up the teapot on the table and poured most 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, the nine city lord 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 the little lord Guervi’s authority must be known to the city lord on 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 Guervi. 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 big 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 core city of the fief, 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 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 Sea Clan, and the Tribe, are fighting too hard, making people subconsciously ignore the Voodoo Tribe.
If you spread the map of 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 in the dark, but completely ignore the tribe?
The reason is that the territories between the orcs and the tribe are poisonous swamps, while the west side of the tribe is the wetland swamp, the east side is the mangrove swamp, and the "dark rain belt" is behind. The "dark rain belt" is the world's most dangerous creature forbidden zone. , 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 want to clean up there in the past, but the terrain around the tribe’s territory is 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.
It was the tribe who supported the steward behind the scenes. This was something Su Xiao hadn't expected. 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 a stage where he needed the "primary fragment", 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 that he wanted to break through his 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 "Original Fragments". After Su Xiao healed Bai Niu’s old sister’s injuries, Bai Niu originally wanted to give Su Xiao 2 to 3 "Original 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 got only 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 thing 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". Three are nine. Do you think this is 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 can not only bring about the improvement of all attributes, but also other aspects of gains, so that the strength can 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, a total of seventeen 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, right, but at the very least, it is something that can be bought with soul coins. The three chambers of commerce that Su Xiao patronizes all sell this item, 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 and witch doctors 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.
Right now in the fief of Mudongcheng, not only the people from the tribe were searching for this secret treasure in secret, most of the local families, as well as the lord of each big city, were 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 Bobo Wang off the bed.
"Woo~"
Boubowan whimpered lazily.
"gone."
"Woo~"
Boubowan whispered again, but he just didn’t get up. Seeing this, Baja gave a smirk. He took out the terminal and played the audio recorded in the "Cold Graveyard" before, and the oozing ghost whispered. Come, Bobowang 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. Due to the long teleportation distance, the surrounding gray space mist dissipated after a few seconds. A cold wind came, cold and piercing, 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 stories. 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, and it seemed that they were 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 woods. 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 fiefs, 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. After pushing open the door of the old castle, 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's finger touched the door, and the whole door crystallized in an instant, and then it shattered. As the door broke, 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.
This 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 the top represents the value of this dress. 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, you go to restore the heating pipeline of this old castle, Baja, go to the ten near the manor. Several 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. After lifting a large rock floor tile, he grabbed the sand that was laid underneath. The underground was normal, quietly below the castle. It’s okay to build a Worm Nest~EbookFREE.me~ Su Xiao started to draw a formation. It was not a simple matter to summon Spanglers to Fenghai Continent. It was impossible to do it with conventional methods. Fortunately, he got it a long time ago. A rare thing, this thing is named 【Blade of Transcendence】.
[Blade of detachment (special item, with this item, you can temporarily break through the outer space barrier of detachment and the original world, so that individuals who are not larger than a certain level can 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 Void Tree 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 significant 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. 】
