"The next auction item, please, is the spring of life from the elves."
The auction is still going on and the competition is as fierce as ever.
Wu Ming took action twice later and captured an alchemy airship and a pair of hero-level puppets made by a puppet master with a challenge level of 16.
Back and forth, I spent almost 100 million gold coins, and came back with a full harvest.
After leaving the auction house, Wu Ming and Lucy got on the airship, got acquainted with each other briefly, and then embarked on the return journey.
two days later
Hurrying slowly all the way, it took just over two days to cross 20,000 miles and return to the Holy Light Empire from the Business Alliance.
The alchemy airship descended from the sky, surrounded by two shadow dragons, and landed in the garden of the castle.
After the airship stopped, Wu Ming walked out of the hatch and took a deep breath, his shadow reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Seeing that their master had returned, the two shadow dragons lay obediently on the ground, shaking their heads at the two of them in a flattering manner.
Lucy didn't even look at the two lower dragons. She raised her head coldly and wore an artifact crown made of crystal that had no requirements for use. The queen's style was clearly revealed.
"Master, you are back!" The loud noise of the airship landing attracted countless servants to watch.
These domestic servants, bought from the slave market, moved forward to please each other and said some auspicious words one after another, as if whoever did not speak out was being disloyal.
Wu Ming didn't like these face projects very much and just nodded expressionlessly.
Looking around, Aunt Angelina was not among the crowd, and neither was her sister Anne.
Wu Ming noticed carefully that many servants were carefully smiling with him. Their smiles were stiff and forced, as if they had something to say.
"What happened?" Wu Ming asked directly to everyone without making any riddles.
The servants looked at each other. It took a while before someone plucked up the courage and said awkwardly: "Master, some time ago, I sent someone here."
"Master?" Wu Ming was very confused. In aristocratic families, various titles are not allowed to be called randomly.
The old man mentioned by these servants is a title only given to the direct elders. Could it be that his cheap father, Viscount Charlotte, is here.
"Is this Viscount Charlotte?" Wu Ming asked by calling him by his first name without intending to call him father.
The servants did not dare to be like him, so they nodded one by one and replied: "The master sent someone to deliver a letter. Lady Angelina cried and laughed after seeing the letter, and insisted on taking Miss Anne back the next day.
Butler Ford didn't dare to stop him, so in the end he had no choice but to hire a team of mercenaries and leave with a few strong servants."
Old Ford was the butler invited by Wu Ming. He was both the supervisor of these servants and the family's diplomat.
But after all, Old Ford is also a servant. Although he has a high rank, he has no reason to stop his master.
In the castle, there are only four people who can be called the owners. Wu Ming, Anne, Lucy, and Aunt Angelina can all be regarded as the owners of the castle.
During this time, both Wu Ming and Lucy were away, and Annie was a little kid again.
If Aunt Angelina wanted to go back, Butler Ford really wouldn't be able to stop her, and he wouldn't dare to stop her either.
Wu Ming felt a little tired after trying to understand what was going on here.
He has already come to the Imperial City, but Viscount Charlotte is still haunted. He actually sent someone to deliver a message. Is this to cause trouble?
"Viscount Charlotte, how did you know I'm here, and what did I say in the letter?" Wu Ming felt unhappy, but his face remained calm.
The servants gathered around on both sides, saying something to each other, and said: "Master Charlotte, I seem to have heard the news in my hometown, and I know that you are living well in the imperial city and you have also received the title of Viscount. Therefore, I sent
Someone sent a letter asking Mrs. Angelina to take everyone back to worship our ancestors. We don’t know the rest. We only know that Mrs. Angelina was very excited after getting the letter and said, "
After talking about it, the servants remained silent, as if what they were about to say was taboo.
Wu Ming waved his hand impatiently and ordered: "Just tell me what you know. I won't blame you."
"Mrs. Angelina said that there is hope for the heir of the master's family, and she must go back and take a look." The servants finished speaking in one breath, and Wu Ming also picked up some clues.
It seems that his story of buying a castle in the imperial city, participating in competitions, and becoming the number one among the younger generation has spread to Tibulag City.
You must know that the body occupied by Wu Ming belongs to Gat. He is the heir of the Percival family. He was kicked out of the family by Viscount Charlotte just because he could not become a professional.
Now, Wu Mingjiu has occupied the magpie's nest and has not only become a professional, but also a leader of the younger generation. It is basically certain that he will become a hero in the future.
As for Viscount Charlotte, although he is a bit unkind, he values the family inheritance very seriously, even to the point where honor is my life.
Based on Wu Ming's understanding of Viscount Charlotte, with a direct bloodline like his in the family, Viscount Charlotte would not give up no matter what.
Only a strong professional can lead the family to prosperity and elevate the title to a higher level.
The Percival family's inherited title is only Viscount, but with a heroic head of the family, it will not be difficult to become an earl in the future.
Needless to say, Viscount Charlotte's mean and unkind skills were activated again. Before there was news of Wu Ming's success, his cheap brother Jia Long had the possibility of becoming the heir to the family.
On the other hand, after receiving the news that Wu Ming is about to achieve great success, Jia Long will most likely be kicked out and become a victim of the family's prosperity.
"This Viscount Charlotte is worthy of being the head of the Percival family. For the sake of the prosperity of the family, he really throws away his son at will. Not even a tiger is so ruthless! I don't know if my cheap brother Gallon is now
I shed tears and fainted under the pillow." After understanding the reason for Viscount Charlotte's letter, Wu Ming thought of his nominal brother Gallon.
Garen was an illegitimate child. He was kicked out of the family since he was a child and could only live in a slum. When he was a child, he didn't even know who his father was.
When he grew up, because the owner of Wu Ming's body, Gat, could not awaken the career section, he had to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, and was taken back to the Parcival family.
Wu Ming could imagine that the person who suffered the most here was definitely Jialong, the illegitimate son, because as long as he went back, everything Jialong had now would be taken away.
The most painful thing in life is not to be poor all your life, but to be poor and then go bankrupt, and your glory and wealth disappear.
This is the situation in Garonne. From poverty to wealth, and then from wealth back to poverty, the past suddenly seems like a dream.
Wu Ming even doubted that if he appeared in front of Jia Long at this time, he would strangle his neck or bite his ears off with a look of resentment.
"Sir, Mrs. Angelina and Miss Anne have been away for nine days. Would you like to go back and have a look?" The servants around them spoke cautiously and asked the doubts in their hearts.
Wu Ming did not answer. Of course he wanted to go back and have a look, but it was not to compete for the inheritance rights of the Parcival family, but to return to the southern province to kill monsters and level up.
But he would not say these words to his servants. He just said: "You protect the castle well and don't neglect it, you know?"
After warning the servants a few words, Wu Ming no longer stayed in the castle and drove off in the airship again.
Nowadays, the undead invasion mode has been activated in the southern province. Anne and Aunt Angelina went back nine days ago, so there might be a risk of encountering the undead.
He may not care about Viscount Charlotte, or he may not care about the Percival family, but for his sister Anne, it is not so easy to give up.
People are all emotional animals, partly because of the influence of the fusion of Gart's soul, and partly because of the past relationship. No matter from which aspect, he could not stand by and watch Anne.
After getting on the airship and following the official road leading to the southern province, Wu Ming pursued it all the way.
In nine days, judging from the speed of the carriage, it was impossible for Anne and her party to reach Tibulaq. At most, they would have traveled a third of the way.
Along the way, Wu Ming controlled the airship, always holding a monocular telescope and standing in the cab to observe the outside.
There are many official roads leading to the southern provinces, but there is only one that passes through Tibulaq, which is also the route they took when leaving.
After two hours of searching and five hundred miles, Wu Ming could not find the carriage Annie was sitting in until dark. Instead, because it was getting dark, he had to stop searching and had to wait until the next day to set off again.
Speechless for a night, we continued southward the next day.
This place is already thousands of miles away from the imperial city. Although no undead people have been seen so far, there are already more pedestrians on the road, and many people are migrating to the north.
Affected by the increase in the flow of people, it has become more difficult to find people and more time has to be spent.
Fortunately, Butler Ford is a reliable person. According to the servants, for the safety of Annie and Aunt Angelina, Butler Ford found a dozen mercenaries to escort him. Even Wu Ming brought them from Tibulag. The clown and the nightingale were also taken away by Butler Ford.
Under the protection of so many people, it is enough for Anne and others to protect themselves when encountering ordinary dangers.
In the current southern province, although the undead tribe has appeared, it has not yet reached full swing, and the official roads are safe for the time being.
"It's been a thousand miles. According to the speed of the carriage, it can only travel about a hundred miles a day. Annie and the others should be not far ahead." In the cab, there was a map of the Holy Light Empire, and Wu Mingzheng was holding a pen on it. Write and draw.
Next to her, the Queen had just gotten up and stretched lazily, like a cat that had just woken up.
Hearing Wu Ming's muttering to himself, Lucy also came up and said, "Do you want me to help? My eyesight is better than yours. When I fly a hundred meters high in the sky, even the ants on the ground can't hide from my gaze. Find me." It’s the most convenient for people and stuff.”
"That's fine." Wu Ming didn't refuse. You don't have to be a fool to have free labor. Lucy is idle anyway.
Moreover, his intuition was telling him that he and Anne were getting closer and closer, and his sister was right in front.
