Chapter 179: Phoenix Rebellion (Part 1)

The meal had already come, Salin poured wine for Elaine, raised the crystal wine glass, and smiled and said, "Well, for the future."

“For the future.”

"For the future!"

The three people's crystal wine glasses clinked together and made a crisp sound. Salin was satisfied. He didn't care how much he had divided. But with this cooperative relationship, even if the four major families took root in this city in the future, they would not be able to control trade. He still remembered the story he heard at the beginning. A business with a deep background went to Shengyan City to develop, but was squeezed out by the four major families.

These four major families are fighting openly and secretly, but if there are other forces to share the profits, the four major families will immediately unite.

Now the Clyde family and the Williams family are all in charge in this city, and the remaining two families can't cause any trouble.

It is impossible to solve business problems by force, and the best way to secretly divide is to separate them.

Once the cooperation matters were determined, the three of them became natural. Elaine seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness when she was a child, and discussed the location of the business with Aini. The location of the business was knowledgeable. Aini took the lead. Elaine came too late, and there were still good places for her to choose from.

Before he could finish the meal, Neris flashed in from outside.

"Owner."

"Nelise, come and sit." Salin was in a good mood and asked Nelise to sit beside him. He knew that Nelise was not a reckless person, and he was in a hurry to come, and he must have her idea.

"Master, not the enemy."

"Oh? Who is that person? He actually sent troops here."

"this……"

"It's okay, Elaine is her own person." Salin said with the flow. If Nelise was talking about the secret and could not have been here, she would definitely wait for Salin to return to the temple before talking. There was a sense of consciousness between the two of them and they cooperated with tacit understanding.

Elaine didn't know that Neris was Salin's contract creature, and after hearing Salin's words, she felt a little proud.

"Do you remember Baron Piac?"

"Remember, it's good that he has ten soldiers. Didn't he say he was a scout? By the way, I asked him to wait in Shenlin Town first, and I'll get someone to take it over before he's taking it over. Did he come here by himself?"

"Not only did he come, he also told the two viscounts to join you."

"Puff..." Salin squirted out a sip of wine. He didn't even look down on Baron Piac at all. Who would have thought that he had done such a big thing? The Baron had at most a small town. If the Viscount was in his hometown, Ceylon, was the territory of a Viscount.

Piac, a down-and-out baron, actually told the two viscounts to run away from their hometowns to such a far place to join him. Salin felt it was too bizarre when he heard it. Did something happened to Phoenix or did Saint Rock City do anything? Salin didn't think he had any reputation outside, so he could let two territorial nobles join him.

Elaine also widened her eyes and looked at Salin. Nelise's words were so amazing. There was a noble who came to join Salin. What magic does Salin have? Elaine's mind was messed up, and this incident made her lose her judgment. However, Salin's image became taller in her heart.

"Well, Neris, you accompany Elaine to her residence.

Salin couldn't eat it anymore, so he wanted to meet these two nobles immediately and ask what happened in Phoenix.

"Elaine..."

"It's okay, go and do our business tomorrow." Elaine smiled understandingly, full of charm.

Aini's lips moved, and when he saw Neris' unfriendly gaze, he changed his words: "I'll go back first and plan to go to sea next year." He originally wanted to follow Salin to see, but since Neris signaled him not to go, he had to hold it back.

Salin trusts Aini, but Naris doesn't. The person she believes most is Shika, that silly girl, she won't even notice that Salin sells her.

"Miss Elaine, you don't have to hurry back. Your subordinates have already arranged to stay and have someone to take care of you." Nelise smiled and asked someone to change the soup for Elaine and bring the snacks after the meal. Aini stood up embarrassedly, unable to get angry. He hated why he was afraid of a maid.

Salin stood up and left without helping Aini. Of course, what he trusted most was Nelise. He had been born and died many times. He had already understood that Nelise was mostly considering himself, and occasionally revealing his nature, he could also notice it. This time, something might be an accident, but the bigger thing might be that something happened to the south. If Phoenix had something to do, Rex might encounter danger next year.

Salin sent people to call Zola, took the soldiers with him, left the city hall building, and walked towards the west of the city. The construction of the west of the city was almost done, and there was a temporary camp. Daniel spent most of his time practicing magic every day, except practicing magic.

When Salin saw Daniel, he asked him to take one hundred soldiers and two hundred undeads to go out of the city to pick up Baron Piac. Salin stayed in the camp and waited.

Daniel was ordered to form the first battalion. He only had two hundred pirates. Although the camp was large, there was actually only one place to use it. As soon as Salin came, the soldiers could not rest. They all wore armor and waited in the wing rooms on both sides. In fact, Salin did not need these people to protect him. He had Zora around him, which was worthy of all the pirates.

However, Daniel was very strict in his practice. Since Salin was here in person, no one dared to be lazy. There was a necromancer who was the chief, and the pirates were used to executing orders without hesitation.

Salin remembered the structure of the Holy Rock City and thought that in the future, the military camp should be moved outside the city after the city construction is completed.

"Sir, are you worried?" Zola said on the side. He saw that Salin had something to do and started chatting with Salin.

"Well, I don't know what happened to Phoenix. According to the plan, even if Phoenix is ​​in chaos, it will have to wait three years later."

"Actually, it's the same when it's messy. It's better to have it earlier. The adults have the undead king and five thousand undead soldiers. Now that Phoenix is ​​in chaos, the adults have the opportunity to store Phoenix's manpower. Two viscounts come to join us, which can bring about more than a thousand people. If the adults handle it well, more people will come."

"Rex is going to transit from Phoenix next spring." Salin expressed his concerns.

"Actually, if you ask those two people later, it's not too late to think of a solution." Zola said to Salin seriously without a laughing look now.

Salin nodded. He was worried about Rex and Shika. Both of them were very important to him, and they were confused. If they were people around, Salin would not lose his composure. Zola was right, and even if there was a major change in Phoenix, he could send someone to intercept him outside Phoenix, so that Rex would detour to Yuncheng and go back here by sea.

Salute was bored, and Salin was unwilling to meditate at this time. He called a soldier and asked for a chess game, and played chess with Zola.

It took about two hours before Daniel came back with the people.

"Sir, I'm bringing you back, outside." Daniel entered the barracks and said to Sarah.

“How many people?”

"Many, about nine hundred."

“How did you arrange it?”

"I left a hundred undead camping outside the city."

"Well done, where is Piac? Let him in, and there are two guests."

"Yes." Daniel turned around and went out. Soon, the fat Baron took two middle-aged men into the barracks. He ran to Salin from a distance and gave a big gift in front of Sara.

"Piac, long time no see, these two..."

Salin said lightly, he was a great magician, and even if the other party was a viscount, he would not have to get up to greet him.

Two middle-aged men dressed in ordinary people's clothes and approached Salin, performed a noble etiquette, and introduced themselves: "Master, I am Suha."

"Peter."

The two consciously said their names briefly, without their last name. Seeing the two middle-aged men with a worried look and a dazed expression, Salin said, "Get out there, please send tea here, and you two sit down."

Suha and Peter calmed down and sat on both sides. This was the barracks. The table in front of Salin was huge and the map could be expanded. The three of them sat far away, and the two were still thinking about it. Salin spoke again.

"Two, I heard that you gave up your territory and came. Did something happen to Phoenix?"

Suha and Peter looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a moment. They have noble identities. Although the mage is even more noble, they have not heard of any noble who defected to the mage. Although the mage in front of them has a city.

"Piac, tell me." Salin didn't want to waste his time.

Piac is no longer as embarrassed as before. He has already treated Salin as his lord. When Salin asked him, Piac said to Salin with a flattering smile: "Sir, something happened to Phoenix, it's time to talk about it..."

Piac spoke endlessly, and Salin listened carefully. After hearing this, Salin's brows stretched out. Phoenix did have a big change, but this change was not directed at him.

The story starts last month. In November, news came from Holy Rock City that the new Grand Duke of Phoenix died suddenly, and the news immediately caused a storm in Phoenix.

After the black magician appeared, the cowardly Grand Duke Phoenix fled to Holy Rock City and said that he would not return to the territory. Salin knew about this and had become a joke among Qin Yin's nobles. However, no matter how cowardly Grand Duke Phoenix was, he was the only master of this principality, and even Qin Yin's emperor could not do anything to him.

In November, Grand Duke Phoenix died in Holy Rock City, and the Grand Duke of Holy Rock City could not explain how Grand Duke died. What's worse is that Grand Duke Phoenix did not leave behind his descendants when he was in the Duchy Kingdom. Now he has lived in Holy Rock City for a few years and suddenly has a son.

The Holy Rock City wanted this one-year-old boy to inherit the title, but the House of Lords had passed it, and the House of Commons did not object. Of course, the nobles in the Duke did not agree. The envoys of the imperial capital were driven back, and several major forces in the Duke also clashed. According to Qin Yin's law, the territory of the Duke was always independent and belonged to the nobles on this land. Everyone believed that the death of the Duke was the conspiracy of the Holy Rock City.
