Chapter 522

In the living room of the Count’s Manor.

After getting the servants to deliver the drinks and pastries, Count Frostwhite waved his hand to dismiss all the servants.

There were only six people in the large living room.

Count Frostwhite and his uncle.

His appearance was extraordinary, but he could not sense any aura from his body. It was as if he was just an ordinary youth, and there was a trace of dignity between his brows.

A female guard wearing black armor with a delicate and pretty face stood behind the youth without a word.

There were also two mysterious people. One had an ordinary appearance, and the other wore a cloak and pulled up a hood. One could only vaguely see that it was a woman.

“This is our boss.”

Hui Ren introduced.

Count Frostwhite’s eyebrows jumped.

The boss was only known by those lowly merchants.

The n.o.bles he usually came into contact with were either some family head, or the count or the marquis.

Even the commanders of the various armies in the capital, unless they were like the Enforcement Regiment or the Red Legion, the commander was a n.o.ble with a considerable status. Even if there was someone stronger than him, Count Frostwhite might not even think highly of them.

This was the view of the n.o.bles in the capital.

Only,

In the face of the boss mentioned by the mysterious person, Count Frostwhite did not dare to underestimate him.

The young man who had fought was too strong. However, he was now standing respectfully behind the boss. Even Frostwhite, the owner of the Count’s Manor, did not dare to sit calmly. He leaned forward slightly and sat on the edge of the chair to show his respect.

On the other hand, the young man whose aura could not be sensed was sitting very casually. The invisible pressure made Count Frostwhite’s breathing quicken.

The two mysterious people were far from being a match for the Count’s Manor. Now, there was an even more mysterious boss and a guard who should not be trifled with… If they attacked, even if they opened the formation in the manor, it would be cold.

…

Ten minutes later,

Tang Yu walked out of the living room with a smile on his lips.

He looked at the green branch in his hand that was about one meter long.

It was the same branch as the one he had obtained in Gehrman City.

“This treasure was given to me by the royal family more than a hundred years ago when I received the t.i.tle of count. The other n.o.ble families also have similar branches. The royal family used to be generous and generous, but in the past thirty years, no n.o.ble was given such a treasure by the royal family.”

He recalled the words of Count Frostwhite.

He should not be lying.

He did not know the origin of these branches.

However, the royal family undoubtedly had a lot of them.

“Just a tender branch can be regarded as a treasure.”

Tang Yu continued to a.n.a.lyze this tender branch with the [Eye of Insight]. It was still impossible to trace its origin. However, this branch was even thicker and more… alive than the tender branch he had obtained in Gehrman City. The mysterious power contained in it was more than ten times that of the tender branch.

It could be used to make a good weapon.

For a moment, Tang Yu was a little envious of the mysterious trees that the other n.o.bles and even the royal family controlled.

However, he was a civilized person, so it was beneath him to rob them.

The one in his hand was given to him by Count Frostwhite, so he accepted it without hesitation.

…

In the living room,

Count Frostwhite’s hands trembled.

“R-robbers!”

The count’s residence only had two pieces of treasures bestowed by the royal family.

One was bestowed upon him when he was conferred the t.i.tle of count, while the other was obtained after he had made a great contribution.

As the core of the Count’s manor’s great protective formation.

The empty one had been s.n.a.t.c.hed away just like that.

Gone…

Yes…

The beautiful name was a gift.

Count Frostwhite was also helpless.

But when he thought of the boss’ promise, his heart became hot again.

Only,

His hands were still shaking, and his feet were shaking.

It was neither excitement nor anger.

It was just now,

Just as he was about to test the origins of this group of people, the female guard standing behind the mysterious boss suddenly glanced at him.

With just a glance, it was as if he was in a bottomless abyss.

It was as if his soul was about to leave his body.

It was truly terrifying.

Later, when the ordinary-looking young man proposed to borrow the mysterious tree branch, he opened his mouth, but no matter what, he did not dare to say no. He did not even know how, but he changed from borrowing to sending.

When he thought of the horror of the mysterious man, his heart suddenly turned cold.

It kept changing between ice and fire.

…

Tang Yu walked out of the inner city and looked at the palace from afar.

He frowned.

He felt that there was something wrong.

“Nancy, how do you feel?”

“Oh…” She looked over and pondered for a moment. “There’s a dangerous smell, but don’t worry, my lord. I will protect you well.”

Tang Yu, “…”

Although we are a bit weak, can you give us some face?

Even this time, it was because Nancy had broken through to the second rank that he dared to walk into the inner city with confidence.

After negotiating with Count Frostwhite, Tang Yu had a better understanding of the capital.

As a native n.o.ble of the capital, the other party knew more secrets than Zaber and Western Garrison City.

“Fifty-eight years ago, countless black monsters descended from the sky.”

“In less than a month, many cities are drowned by the black waves.”

“At that time, the capital was full of experts. Under the leadership of the current king, they resisted the invasion of the Dark Tide… The first battle lasted for several months, and countless Transcendents fell.”

“Later, the continuous impact of the Dark Tide caused the resisting legions to suffer heavy losses and feel exhausted. Even the king seemed to have been injured in a battle. It has been decades since he fought again. The” Wall of Eternity “was also built under such circ.u.mstances.”

Tang Yu frowned and thought.

Why did the situation in the capital not look good in the early days? After the “Wall of Eternity” was established, it became extremely easy to resist the Dark Tide all of a sudden?

Even though the Eternal Wall was indeed extraordinary, he still felt that something was wrong, but he could not think of a specific reason.

Boom!

As soon as he returned to the secret base in the suburbs of King’s City, he heard a roar in the distance.

He turned his head and saw that it was a tall city wall like a mountain.

Outside the city walls, many flying dark creatures flapped their wings and swooped down. However, when they approached the Eternal Wall, they were enveloped by an invisible force and fell like meteors.

Far away,

Tang Yu sensed that there were several extraordinary auras outside the city walls.

On the contrary, it was said that there were less than ten extraordinary experts in the Eternal Army stationed on the city wall.

There was only one Transcendent stationed on this city wall.

The Transcendent did not make a move. He only commanded the soldiers to control the defensive weapons on the city wall. A loud explosion resounded.

This time, the black tide continued for several hours. In the end, after leaving countless corpses, the black tide retreated.

Tang Yu could not see the specific battle process. He could guess it with his perception alone.

Could it be that the Dark Tide gradually gave up on conquering the capital because their repeated attacks failed?

But Extraordinary level dark creatures should be intelligent…

The more he thought about it, the more Tang Yu felt that something was wrong, but he could not explain the reason.

Thus,

He handed over the brain-burning task to Elaine and the others.

In any case, as a lord, wasn’t it basic operation to hand over his worries to his followers?

…

At this time,

In a distant corner of the continent.

Under the dim sky, there was a cracked, withered tree. Its roots were intertwined, and traces of runes were faintly visible. However, it was a bit messy, as if it had been damaged before.

A rune array in a certain place suddenly lit up with a dark red light and flashed.

However, it was noticed by the figure wearing a black cloak beside him.

“Your Holiness the Pope, there is news of the ‘strongest weapon’!”

A figure whose face could not be seen appeared.

The terrifying might distorted the surrounding s.p.a.ce. Everywhere it pa.s.sed, it seemed to be separated into two different worlds from the outside world with him as the center.

He stared at the broken formation.

At the end,

Looking towards the south, at the center of the continent.

“King’s City, I haven’t been there for a long time.”

…

“It’s still more comfortable to live in your own castle.”

Tang Yu sat at the dining table with a dozen or so exquisite dishes placed in front of him. He had just ordered the chef to cook them.

Although he was a good lord who cultivated diligently and worked hard, he was still someone with a net worth of hundreds of millions of Origin Crystals. If he didn’t enjoy the food well, why did he earn so much money?

As he tasted the delicacies, he used the follower contract as a foundation to pull Hui Ren, f.a.n.n.y, and Zaber, who were currently staying on the Aino Continent, into the newly formed contract chat group.

With the territory as a signal base station, the news was unimpeded, and he could command the work of the capital from afar without leaving his house.

“As expected, this is the life that a lord should live. Compared to the n.o.bles in the capital, I’m really too…”

He browsed the information in the chat group.

The boss behind the scenes of Count Frostwhite surfaced at the end, and there were also Lorraine and Hui Ren who secretly acted to intimidate him a few times, making the other n.o.bles think that he was an expert secretly trained by Frostwhite.

The deterrence was enough to make most of the n.o.bles wait and see without making a move.

It was only an entertainment place to earn Origin Crystals. This was also one of the reasons. Even a person with discerning eyes could see that Tree Shade Entertainment City earned a lot of Origin Crystals every day. However, many of the higher-ups had mines in their homes and did not care much about an entertainment city.

The person with the greatest power was still the Duke Modun.

The other two dukes and even many marquises did not seem to be interested in the money tree of Entertainment City. If it’s the real “Spirit s.p.a.ce”, Tang Yu believed that it would definitely attract more attention.

Not like now, only one duke was interested.

He still didn’t know why the Duke Modun wanted to take Entertainment City into his pocket. In addition to the influence of his industry, as a non-Chief, he failed countless times in evolution to the top level kun.

“Oh right, there is also the seventeenth Princess, Serena. She is also very interested in Entertainment City. She said that if you encounter trouble, you can ask her for help. Her request is also simple. She hopes that we can create more sci-fi games.”

Lorrain said in the chat group.

She had come into contact with Serena before, and very simply, she had gotten quite a bit of information from the Seventeenth Princess.

But it was also because she was too young that her understanding of the palace was limited. Even her father, the current king of the kingdom, had only seen her a few times – it was said that because the age difference was too great, and there was a generation gap, the current king was at least eight hundred years old.

Tang Yu entered a message in the chat group, allowing Lorraine to continue to inquire from the Seventeenth Princess.

At the same time,

King’s City,

A figure flew through the air and slammed into the base of the Wing Legion.

The smoke and dust in the hole quickly dispersed, revealing a familiar face.

It was General Durut of the Western Garrison City.

At this time, his aura was weak, and more than half of his body below his chest had disappeared.

His body was still attached with inextinguishable flames, which were devouring his last life force.

The dying General Durut opened his mouth. “The royal family… has a problem.”

Along with the last weak aura, it completely dissipated.
