Among the four major territories in Frankfurt, the Eastern Territory is the richest, but the Duke of the Eastern Territory is also the least enterprising, followed by the Northern Territory. Downton originally thought he could make a huge fortune, but after following Abagon into the treasure house,
Looking at the antiques, famous paintings, and various collectibles with a total value of less than 10 billion, I felt so depressed that I wanted to vomit blood.
"So poor?"
After receiving the list handed over by a goblin financial officer, Downton glanced through it roughly. The number of gold bricks was only 2 billion, and most of them were magic diamonds worth 10 billion, as well as some expensive and rare magic materials.
"Just be satisfied. A Duke from a third-rate country can accumulate this kind of wealth."
Homer explained, "What are you putting gold bricks in the vault for? Waiting for them to become moldy? Only money that circulates can produce value. These gold bricks are used to prepare for emergencies, otherwise you wouldn't even see them.
, the real wealth of the Duke of the North is the properties under his name that continuously produce benefits, but it is a pity that you cannot take them away."
"clear!"
Downton nodded. The Western Continent is different from the world in the dream. There is no paper money here, so there is no need to keep gold to ensure their value.
"Master, this is the most valuable magic costume!"
Abagon handed Downton a short knife one and a half feet long. It was two fingers wide, slightly curved, and had a sharp blade that could break hair when blown.
"This style of weapon was forged by a small Japanese country located in the Eastern Continent. It should be called Kodachi." Homer glanced at it and popularized the knowledge for everyone, "It's called Murasame. It's a legendary top grade and worth 80 million gold coins. As long as you hold it.
With it, you can teleport to any location within a hundred yards. It also has a damage reduction effect, and any damage suffered by the holder is reduced by one-fifth, and there is even a certain chance of complete immunity."
"Juliet, this is yours!"
Downton found this weapon useless and handed it to Xian Lang casually.
Xian Lang took it, took out the blade and waved it in the air. He could see the blue blade light and couldn't help but admire it secretly.
"Good knife!"
After playing with it, Xian Lang returned the knife to its sheath and handed it to Juliet.
Juliet held Murasame in her arms with both hands. It was like holding the whole world, and she seemed to feel Downton's body temperature, which made her lips reveal an unconcealable smile.
"Little princess, your defense is so strong, why do you need this?"
Abagon saw Little Hutao looking at Murasame expectantly, and immediately asked in a rude manner. In his opinion, the little princess is the one who needs to be fawned over, and a maid like Juliet has no value in speculation at all.
"Teleport, I think this magic is very cool, but it's a pity that I'm not a magician, otherwise I must learn it." Xiao Hutao pouted and glanced at Downton secretly. The meaning was self-evident, she wanted that Murasame
.
"Juliet, I need you more!" Downton rubbed Hu Tao's hair. "As long as you don't let me run around, others will want to kill you. It will be difficult."
"Little princess, here you go!"
Although she was extremely reluctant to leave, Juliet also knew that her identity could not be compared with that of Xiao Hutao, and she did not want to embarrass Downton.
"Forget it, if you die, Downton will be sad too." Hu Tao looked away, Juliet was also a companion, and giving her the Kodachi would be more valuable.
"This is a good boy!"
Looking at the kind-hearted little Hutao, Downton was very proud that the little Loli actually cared about others.
"Thanks!"
Juliet hugged Murasame tightly and kept muttering in a low voice, feeling as if a treasure had been lost and found.
"Homer, pack up these trophies and evacuate."
Downton turned and left. The most expensive collection of a Duke was actually a legendary weapon. It was so worthless because the Hohenzollern family was so powerful. He was also a Duke, and his limited edition Golden Crown Tree Garden fountain pen was just placed in a drawer.
, the number of Sherman War Bear badges collected is hundreds.
When the group returned to the lobby, Beyoncé was already waiting with a man pressed against her.
"Is this the first heir to the Duke of the North?"
Downton walked up to the man.
"Bastard, you must not..."
Before the man could finish cursing, Beyoncé took the hilt of the sword and slapped him hard on the face. The force was so strong that the whole cheek instantly swelled.
Phew! Phew!
The man spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, mixed with his teeth.
"I'm going to see those ogres!"
Charlotte didn't like this scene, so she found an excuse and left.
"Why bring him back? The Duke of the North is dead, and I don't need hostages to threaten him?" Downton took the throne that once belonged to Busk. "In other words, only if he dies will other heirs be ready to take action.
ah!"
Hearing that Downton was about to kill him, the man's body trembled, and his previous anger suddenly disappeared. He wanted to beg for mercy, but the honor of being a noble prevented him from speaking.
"Of course I want to show off my achievements and prove that I am no worse than that Drizzt!" Beyoncé shrugged her shoulders, casually pulled out the dagger inserted in her boots, and stabbed the man directly before he could ask for mercy.
Put it in his mouth and stir hard.
Not only was the man's tongue rotten, his lips were also cut open, and the blood instantly soaked his clothes.
The moment before the scream escaped his throat, the dark ranger standing behind the man took a step forward, covered his mouth, and then twisted hard and broke his neck.
"Why mess his tongue?"
Looking at the dead body with its head twisted 180 degrees, Downton frowned slightly. He had long been used to killing people, but he still couldn't bear the torture, and Beyoncé was obviously enjoying the pleasure of torture.
.
"Of course I'm worried that Master, you will be soft-hearted and let him go!"
Beyoncé explains.
"Master, it's the location of the vault that Master Beyoncé tortured out!"
Abagong stole a glance at Beyoncé, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to speak. This female drow was like a cobra hiding in the dark, extremely dangerous. He didn't want to offend her, otherwise he wouldn't know how he would die.
.
"kindness?"
Downton looked at the dead body in confusion. There were no signs of torture at all.
"Don't bother, I am the chief interrogator of the Baenre family. Wouldn't it be dereliction of duty on my part if I let you see the dazzling and disgusting scars?"
Beyoncé smiles confidently. What she is best at is dark deeds such as assassination, torture, and spying. How to torture people. In her opinion, it is an art.
"This woman is definitely a natural spy. If you can trust her, you can leave the intelligence system to her to establish and control."
Homer saw Downton's disgust and had to remind him that behind every emperor, this kind of insidious minions are an indispensable piece of the puzzle.
"Hey, you dare to brag. Where are the others? Just caught one?"
Little Walnut despises.
Beyoncé smiled and said nothing. But Downton understood that all of Busque's family members had gone to meet the dead.
Downton was not used to things like killing a whole family, and he didn't want to get his hands dirty, so Beyoncé did it directly, so that in the future, it could be said to be the dark elf's private act.
"well done!"
Downton was very conflicted, but he still said this. He couldn't do such a thing as being a bitch and setting up a memorial arch.
"There is no need to praise me. As a drow, this is my bounden duty!" Beyoncé burst into laughter, "But you are so kind and innocent. The 'road' in the future will not be easy."
"It's none of your business!"
Downton was in a bad mood, so he took out a bottle of water and drank a few gulps.
"Master, the participating northern border troops are gathering forces at the west city gate and are expected to launch an attack in half an hour!"
A drow appears at the door. Like Downton Report.
"Ask Arnold and Barty to take the lead in defeating them. Also tell Bloodmaul to hurry up with the robbery. I'll give him another hour at most, so as long as it's valuable, I won't let go of even a single copper."
The efficiency of the ogre's robbery is too low, but there is no way. In this case, Downton must keep an armed force on hand, and the barbarian who enforces the law is naturally the first choice. As for the ogre, he might just run away.
Went to rob.
Most of the ogres are ordinary, with few condensed soul seeds. They are very strong in killing ordinary soldiers, but they are somewhat powerless when encountering magicians, so they need to be equipped with a team of devils.
There are no nobles in the rich area who don't have some bodyguards, but when it comes to the combination of natives and devils, it is completely useless and they are defeated instantly, so time is wasted on moving the treasure.
Black smoke was rising in the northern district of Busque City, and there were fires and screams everywhere. Although Downton's attack was only concentrated here, other districts were also in chaos. After all, there was always a shortage of villains who took advantage of the fire to rob.
Soldiers were knocking on doors and issuing summons orders, but the people in the main city had always been accustomed to living comfortably. They had never been on the battlefield. Besides, even if they were willing, their families didn't want them to die and fight ogres, so the efficiency was extremely slow.
.
During Arnold's year in the West, he studied diligently. Although he was a half-baked general, he finally made some progress. He did not attack the troops that had already gathered. Instead, he asked the barbarians to attack in units of hundreds, intercepting and killing them.
The skirmishers who were gathering.
The generals in the north were so fed up that they couldn't defeat them even with three times the number, let alone the same number of people. However, no matter how many more people were mobilized, they would just run away. So they struggled for an hour and didn't even get a single head.
Down.
"I don't care anymore, I want to go home and watch over you!"
The homes of these generals were all in wealthy areas. Seeing the fire over there, they were so anxious that they finally brought it up. When one person spoke, the others also gave up.
"Do you want to be dealt with by military law?"
The temporary commander yelled, but at this point, the weight of his words was greatly reduced.
"With Downton's small amount of troops, there is no way he can occupy the northern border. He can only plunder and leave. We should still think about protecting our own property and dealing with the trouble after he leaves, right?"
A young general was not sinister enough and said what no one dared to say. In fact, as soon as Busk and his ancestors died, some veterans knew that the power in the north was about to change. At this time, it was not a matter of desperately trying to catch up.
Go Downton, but conserve your strength in order to grab more fat in the subsequent distribution of power. After all, the more military power you have, the greater your right to speak. (To be continued...)
