The afternoon sun was bright and bright. In the back garden, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and the flower stands were covered with green vines.
Ren met Lucy, a female saint who had lived for more than 160 years and was still as beautiful as ever.
She wore a pure white silk dress embroidered with pale roses, her lavender autumn eyes were deep and calm, and her silver hair sparkled in the sun.
"Hello, Sir Ackerman, it seems you have recovered."
Lucy sat on the chair next to the stone table, her extremely white and sexy thighs showing a little spring light, and a few strands of hair slipped down to her delicate neck. Before she even got close, she could smell a faint and charming body fragrance.
When she saw Ren coming over, her face looked calm and she just said hello lukewarmly.
"Hello, Senior Lucy, thank you very much for your help!"
Renn, who put on a small blue suit made of high-end fabrics, bowed slightly, with a smile on his angular face.
The other party's attitude was a bit cold, but after receiving help, he should be more enthusiastic.
Moreover, her beauty and feminine charm cultivated over hundreds of years also made Ren's eyes shine. As the old goat said, Lucy is very beautiful, except that she is a little shorter.
Of course, her height of 1.6 meters is actually not too short for a woman.
But compared with the two beauties "Valkyrie" Kesha and Princess Sophie who are 1.8 meters tall and have super long legs, they look a bit petite.
However, body appearance was secondary. Ren was more concerned about the opponent's strength, so he did not hesitate to throw away the "Level Detection" skill that the system gave to the favored one.
Even after hearing the news from King Da Mao, Ren was still quite surprised when this line of information came to mind.
Those above level 21 (including level 21) are fifth-level saints.
Not surprisingly, there are three levels of human saints, and the levels 21 to 25 correspond to the demon-born Dark Duke.
Human professionals are level 26 to 30, corresponding to the Prince of Darkness.
Human professionals are level 31 to 35, corresponding to the Dark Lord.
However, even if we look at the long history, human saints who are comparable to the demon-born Dark Lord are rare.
More than half of the human saints will be equivalent to the Archduke of Darkness by the time they die. To be able to rival the Prince of Darkness is considered a great achievement.
As a level 25 singer, Lucy Wilson, even though she is not a martial artist, is at least equivalent to the top Dark Duke among demons in terms of realm.
However, the outside world generally believes that Lucy, the "Queen of Sleep Talk", is at the bottom of the Saints in Falorland...
'This woman hides so well, maybe she is also a scheming bitch... People always say that she is good, but she never refutes, and she never deliberately shows off her strength.'
Ren was stunned. Even he had believed the rumors from the outside - Lucy was poor and not very strong.
"You're welcome, please sit down."
Lucy didn't know that he was slandering her in his heart. In response to Ren's thanks, she nodded gently, invited him to sit down, picked up the teapot, and poured him a cup of black tea.
Renn sat down with a respectful expression, picked up the ceramic tea cup on the table, and flattered the woman with a few words.
Level 25, holy crap, this is close to the Prince of Darkness, he has such great legs.
Lucy is at the bottom among the Saints of the Kingdom of Faloran? What a joke!
Are all the saints in Faloran at least level 25? Even comparable to the Prince of Darkness?
Renn even suspected that Leon's grandfather, Wade, the veteran saint who had lived for more than 300 years, might not even be at level 25.
As for the saints in the royal capital Wisteria City, the deputy director of the 7th Bureau... these people are only at Lucy's level in terms of realm, and they will not surpass her anyway.
In the Kingdom of Faloran, not to mention the old shady people who hide and fake their own deaths, in the eyes of the world, Director Carl in the 7th Bureau is clearly above level 25.
After thanking him, Ren began to think about how to get closer.
Don't think that backers, backstage, and connections are not important.
If he and "Gun Ghost" hadn't gone to intercept and kill Frank, the vampire Duke, and had a friendship with him, he wouldn't have been able to establish the Thorn Security Company so smoothly afterwards.
Security company + mercenary business = violence + huge profits.
This kind of armed enterprise cannot be run without the permission of the kingdom's upper echelons, sufficient connections, and resources. Gun Ghost has helped a lot in this.
However, even though he tried to get close, it was of no use. Lucy was too prejudiced against those who practiced the Demon-Slaying Art.
She caressed the silver sea with her jade fingers and said bluntly:
"To be honest, in the past, maybe I would have appreciated a young man like you who is talented, hard-working, and very smart, and I wouldn't mind supporting you.
But now, I feel very tired, the more I see this kind of person, the more he looks like a scumbag."
Renn: “…”
A wave of resentment from an abandoned woman rushed towards him, leaving Master Renn speechless.
According to King Da Mao's previous reminder, he also understood that he was probably taking the blame for Lucy's ex-boyfriend, the King of Falorland who had both bad reputations and reputations a hundred years ago.
The inside story is very complicated, but in the final analysis, Charlemagne broke his promise, slept with someone but refused to give him the position of queen, and finally married a princess from the Kingdom of Bohemia.
"Sister Lucy, I think..."
The stupid-haired king next to him opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something.
Lucy suddenly smiled, held her hand, and shook her head:
"Kate, if men want to act heroic and show off their authority, then let them do it. Women are just joining in the fun.
Anyway, we can just watch from the sidelines. The worst thing we can do is listen to them brag and show off afterwards... and satisfy their vanity.
Look at those men who have left their names in history. There is no one who doesn’t have a lot of beauties behind them, and they are romantic. Even so, they can still get countless praises...
It would be nice if there were a lot of men behind us women and we wouldn't be called sluts.
This kind of power game of war and conquest has been played for thousands of years. Most women can only be used as foils to highlight the suave and heroic qualities of those big pigs. Haha, haha..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Renn: "..."
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.
A female saint who has lived for more than a hundred years is so difficult to deal with. Lucy also has some ideas of feminism in the 21st century on earth.
Daimao Wang's face was a little confused. She had rarely looked at this kind of problem from a woman's perspective before. When she thought about it, sometimes, many things were indeed unfair to women.
Otherwise, there would be no need for her to pretend to be a man in the first place.
After all, Britain simply would not accept a queen at that time.
Ren scratched his head with a look of resentment on his face. Lucy held her cheek in one hand and stared at him with her lavender eyes:
"Young man, be frank and tell me, if I am very passionate about you, what are you going to do with me?"
"Ahem, it's nothing. It's just a fake show of force. I hope to use your name to open a branch of Thorns Security Company in Merova City.
Then we will cooperate with the Wilson family to expand our business.
In addition, the ghoul clan has been targeting me recently, and I hope to use your power to set a trap and kill them."
Ren knew that there was no point in beating around the bush, so he simply admitted it frankly.
These words surprised Lucy a little, and a smile appeared on her face:
"Is it Duke Marcus, the ghoul, who is targeting you? It's strange that you are much more cautious than I thought. I thought that a strong young man like you would be very arrogant and not take the part of the ghoul clan into account.
Put strength in your eyes.
Well, regarding business matters, you can send someone directly to the manor to talk about it.
As for the ghouls, I will take care of you while you are in the city. Once you leave the city, it will be your business."
This result is not bad, the smile on Ren's face is much more sincere.
There is no need to think about the power of a fox and a tiger, but we can still talk about business.
The Wilson family, a marquis family, trained Lucy as a saint. They are the top wealthy family in Falorland. Being able to get online is very beneficial to the development of Thorns Security Company.
As for the revenge of the ghouls, they have to think of another way...but at least the city is still safe, and they can stay there for as long as possible and grow up.
In fact, Lucy overestimated Ren a little. Not long ago, he slashed the demon ghost's clone with a sword, punched the Southern Noble Alliance, and designed to kill Han Feng... It was a smooth journey, but it was also a bit inflated.
However, once the semi-digitization of the system came out, he found out that he was only level 17, so he was poured cold water on him.
After that, I was hit by the projection of the Nightmare Lord again, and I finally woke up and realized how much I weighed.
"Goodbye, Lucy-senpai."
After the conversation, Lane, who had recovered from his injuries, stopped staying in Wilson Manor and took the initiative to say goodbye.
At this time, the difference in treatment becomes apparent.
Lucy didn't pay much attention to Ren, but gave Artoria a blue translucent inheritance crystal for free, which was the knowledge about the "Devil Slaying Technique" minor system.
Da Mao Wang also plans to learn from the essence of this alternative cultivation system.
But although the power of the Holy Dragon and the light of the soul are powerful, they are not of the nature of star power, so she did not choose to major in it. The success rate of majoring in the Demon Slaying Art is really appallingly low.
Wren was a bit dissociated by this.
Not only did Lucy not give him a free gift, she also reminded him that the treatment fee was 10,000 gold coins and had to be paid within half a year.
This difference in treatment is too obvious.
At two-thirty in the afternoon, the sky was clear blue and the sun was shining brightly. Through the open wrought iron gate, the two left Wilson Manor.
"Ren, ten thousand gold coins is already a friendly price."
On the sidewalk on one side of the spacious asphalt road, King Da Mao looked at Ren, who looked unhappy, and comforted him.
"I know, I know, it's just that the economy is tight recently."
Renn spread his hands, feeling a little sore.
He also knew that the treatment fee of 10,000 gold coins was actually very cheap. Just a bottle of Tears of the Goddess cost 5,000 gold coins.
Eliminating the power of the Dark Lord was no easy task. It took Lucy ten days and a lot of effort. Even if she wanted fifteen thousand gold coins, it would not be too much.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I got home.
"Ren, I'm going to take a nap first." The girl had been watching over him during this period of time. She was very tired and went back to her room to rest.
And after lying in a coma for ten days, Ren had had enough sleep.
He sat on the sofa, picked up the newspaper of the recent period and read it carefully. As a person, you must keep pace with the times and keep up with current events, so that you can better stir up trouble...
Ren discovered that a lot of things really happened during the time he was unconscious.
For example, in the entertainment section of "Mainland Youth" magazine, "Valkyrie" Kesha, who returned to the Nokman Empire, said in a New Year's interview that since Master Ackerman admires her so much, she is happy to let him drink her bathwater...
"Xiaoyue, you are so naughty."
Putting down the newspaper, Ren's lips twitched.
But when he thought of the Valkyrie's beautiful female body and her gentle moans... he felt a little restless inside, and decided to take good care of her next time they met.
Of course, there are also the celebrations held by the royal families of various continents, the king's speeches, military parades, year-end speeches by a certain strong man, New Year's greetings, and how generous and kind the nobles are, celebrating the New Year with their tenant farmers, all of which can't be grabbed.
Less space.
The most exciting news is that Queen Fiona of the Senalven Kingdom (located in the north of Faroland, close to the North Sea Islands), when she held a New Year's dinner at the palace, she wore nothing and appeared naked.
Moreover, the same was true for all the ministers, nobles, princesses and princes. They all felt too hot and did not wear clothes.
What?
This is impossible?
The scene is unsightly?
Sorry, this is the custom of that country.
Don't be too surprised. There are nearly a hundred countries in the Saigon continent. The continent area is much larger than the Eurasian plate on the earth combined. There are all kinds of weird customs.
It's like the earth is in the 21st century, and there are still countries with polygamy.
For example, there is a small country on the edge of the Saigon continent, where ordinary people even worship saints as land gods.
The high-level transcendent people there also have extremely high status. If they are nobles and have territories, they can even obtain the right of first night.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Ren knew about this, he wanted to immigrate there...
"The Queen has a really good figure. She is bulging forward and backward, but her skin is a bit darker. The photographer has a tricky angle. She has chicken drumsticks for dinner!"
After admiring the bodies of the Queen of Senalven Kingdom and several princesses for a while, Renn put down the newspaper.
Although the custom is true, but even so, this country can steal the New Year's entertainment headlines every year because they also allow reporters from various countries to go in and shoot...
For ordinary people, this is indeed too strange, and it simply ruins their outlook.
However, the one that stole the show this year is undoubtedly the Kingdom of Falorland!
As soon as the New Year arrives, major newspapers and magazines like to publish various rankings and year-end inventories, and this year is no exception.
Top authoritative newspapers such as "Continental Observer", "Natural Daily", "Guangming Daily" and other newspapers have taken stock of the top ten hot news or top ten important events in mainland China.
Among them, the ghoul rebellion, the sanctification of "Gun Ghost" Carlos, and Director Carl of the 7th Bureau declaring war on the demons. These three events were ranked in the top three in any newspaper!
Also, in the "Natural Daily" ranking of mainland countries' strength, Faroran rose from 9th to 7th.
Because people discovered that "Axe" Alex, killer Kelvin, illusionist Roland and other former members of the Fire Dragon Knights were not all dead, but came back.
Coupled with the sanctification of "Gun Ghost" Carlos, Farolan's strength has improved.
It can be said that the Kingdom of Falorland in the central part of the continent stole the show this year, accounting for nearly one-third of the hot news on the continent!
"How magnificent, Faloran!"
Renn grinned, not surprised by this result.
The Kingdom of Falorland is very powerful. Since William the Conqueror established this country, the strength of Falorland has never fallen out of the top ten on the mainland.
If he had been really weak, he would have been beaten to the head by the Saint Joan Empire's magicians.
Of course, this has little to do with Renne, but he himself has become popular.
The rise of a strong young man, Master Ackerman of the Demon Hunter Association, is certainly not ranked high in the entire continent.
But at least in the Kingdom of Falorland, it is the ninth most popular news!
Also ranked is Princess Sophie, who caused quite a stir when she rejected the marriage proposal from a prince of a certain kingdom on New Year's Eve.
However, what really made Rennes famous, even famous in many countries, was the authoritative newspaper "Continental Observer", which updated the latest issue of the ranking of young powerful people.
After a comprehensive evaluation, based on public performance, the Mainland Observer selected 50 strong players of the young generation in Mainland China.
1. Church of Light, one of the Twins of the Church, "Holy White Sword" Michelle, a fourth-order Golden Rose (Temple) knight.
2. Nokman Empire, royal family Feuerbach, "Valkyrie" Keisha, fourth-order Golden Rose (Round Table) Knight.
3. Demon Hunter Association, the leader of the young generation in mainland China, "Light of Dawn" Hal, a fourth-level mechanical master.
4. Steam Alliance, in charge of the famous guns Furious Rain, "Justice from Heaven" Alfred, and the fourth-level Shadow Broken Black Warrior.
5. Church of Light, one of the Twins of the Church, "Silver Spear" Raphael, a fourth-order Golden Rose (Temple) knight.
6. The Natural School, an extremely low-key top young expert, Antonio the "Eight Extremes Green Front", a fourth-level Phantom Light Ranger.
8. St. Joan Empire, royal family of Zinger, "Prince of Storms" Matthew, fourth-level cloud-penetrating archer.
9. The Kingdom of Faloran, an outstanding young strong woman, "Black Rose" Sophie, a fourth-level traceless shadow warrior.
10. The Karo Tribe, the strongest alien genius who worships the Barbarian God, "Little Barbarian King" Vasili, a fourth-level spirit-burning berserker.
…
17: Demon Hunter Association, a powerful new player from the Kingdom of Falorland, Renn Ackerman (no code name yet), a fourth-level master demon hunter.
──
Rennes squeezed into the top 20. To be honest, he suffered the disadvantage of rising too quickly, otherwise he might have been able to compete for the top 10.
But no matter what, he finally entered the sight of the mainland countries.
In the year 313 of the natural calendar, 12 years have passed since the wave period. As the ghoul chaos in the Pugni Plain intensified, Faloran attracted all the countries on the mainland, major extraordinary organizations, demons from all over the world, alien races, underground gray organizations, and even
The gaze of the hidden elves.
And Renn has officially become one of the stirring figures in this turbulent era that is about to be engulfed in war.
