Chapter 171 Farewell to Antai's [Godhead] and [Mastership] for a while!
Chapter 171 Farewell to Antai, [Godhead] and [Priesthood]!
"Come on, I'm hungry, please send me some food first!"
I thought that the sudden disaster in Antai County would greatly reduce the quality of life of the officials and people, but I didn't expect that County Magistrate Lu could actually prepare this small table of exquisite and delicious pastries for Jia Lian.
It seems that officials are officials, no matter what, they are the ones who have the best life.
Hmm... It seems that we are also an official, and one of the biggest officials?
That's okay.
It's just that although these pastries are exquisite and delicious, they can't resist hunger after all. Jia Lian was busy for most of the day yesterday and didn't even eat dinner. Now he is already hungry.
Xie Yurong must have been the same way. Jia Quan nodded quickly when he saw this, and hurried out of the yard to let the Lu family's servants prepare meals.
After Yu Rong had a feast with Jia Lian, she was summoned away by her sister Mrs. Ru, the magistrate of Lu County.
Only Jia Lian, Jia Quan and A Hu were left, and the two began to discuss business.
"General, Fan Yiming is the elder of the Fan family in Jiexiu, and he was also the original innate grandmaster of this generation of the Fan family.
As for how he suddenly broke through and became a legendary warrior, he explained that it was the Kong family of Yanshenggong Palace and the Zheng family of Guangdong who joined forces. These two top aristocratic families and several major Shanxi merchant families came up with many high-end spiritual materials to gather together.
The resources needed to unfold a magical array passed down from ancient times have been gathered together.
This strange formation can enable masters at the peak level of the innate level to forcibly break through to a realm above the innate level at the cost of consuming most of their life potential. However, after they break through, they can only stay at the lower level of the legend for the rest of their lives, and their life spans are also shortened.
If it is drastically reduced, you can only live to be more than 200 years old at most!"
"besides……"
Jia Quan kept talking for a while, and it took him a long time to finish describing the information Fan Yiming had given him.
"Hey~ The Kong family and the Zheng family are really rich. So for Fan Yiming to be able to share this benefit, the Jiexiu Fan family and even all the Shanxi merchant families must have paid a huge price?"
"General Yingming, in addition to Kong Jianshan who was killed by you, the other legendary warrior who was killed by Lord Jin Ling'er was a strong man from the Zheng family, Zheng Zhiyuan.
As for the array plate, Fan Yiming explained that after this activation, although most of it was destroyed, some fragments were still taken away by the Kong family. I wonder if this thing is still valuable?"
"That thing is not important. The side effects are too serious. It is tasteless and it is a pity to throw it away.
It’s just the Kong family, the Zheng family…”
"General, my subordinates see that several large merchant families headed by the Zheng family account for half of the interests in overseas trade. We are pursuing the strategy of opening up the sea. They have every reason to retaliate in this case."
Whatever Jia Quan could think of, Jia Lian would naturally not fail to consider, but it was hard for the Kong and Zheng families to massacre at will like the dozen or so salt merchant families back then.
As the descendants of Kong Laoer, the Kong family of Yanshenggong Mansion is the backbone of many people in Confucianism, one of the world's largest extraordinary systems, and the Confucian family is even more supportive among secular scholars.
This is the only family that has not cut off its inheritance for nearly two thousand years since the great scholar Dong Zhongshu in the early Han Dynasty "deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism".
It is said that Dong Zhongshu also relied on this major achievement to be promoted from a great scholar to a semi-sage, and became famous for a while.
"Forget it, let this matter give the emperor a headache! You continue to sit here, and I am also going to let Jin Ling'er stay with Yu Rong here for a while, so you can just take care of me."
"Okay, my subordinates will do their best to ensure the safety of Miss Yurong."
"Within a month, I will have someone pick up Yu Rong. At that time, I will ask Xia Zhou and A Hu to take over for you. I will be free to go and check the Zheng family secretly. The four roads have not broken through yet. He takes action on me."
I’m a little worried.”
"As you command, General!"
In the afternoon, Jia Lian met with Magistrate Lu and his wife "Auntie Xie", and gave Yu Rong's sister a Yongfang flower, and said that he would come back to take away Yu Rong within the next month.
Magistrate Lu and his Aunt Xie were naturally overjoyed. Being able to catch up with Jia Lian, the most prominent young nobleman in the dynasty, would naturally be of great benefit to Magistrate Lu's career.
For Aunt Xie, her sister's marriage is indeed a big problem. Now that her sister can find a reliable home, it can be regarded as a resolution of her worries.
Besides, there is obviously no room for them to say no to this matter. In this case, they might as well happily marry off their sister.
After that, County Magistrate Lu also regarded himself as Xie Yurong's brother-in-law, and he was very generous and prepared a dowry of twenty or thirty thousand dollars for her.
Although according to the rules of the big family, concubines are not allowed to have private wealth, this is what Magistrate Lu wants!
A concubine cannot have private wealth, so wouldn’t the dowry he gave be equivalent to giving it directly to Jia Lian?
This is a great good thing for him. You must know that ordinary people, even third- and fourth-grade officials, may not have the qualifications and connections to give gifts to Jia Lian!
…
He didn't pay attention to these trivial matters. He came out in a hurry yesterday. Although he had already greeted Qin Keqing, he had not returned to Beijing by the next afternoon. He was afraid that his two lovely wives at home would be extremely worried, so he had to hurry up.
It's good to go home.
In the yard, Ahu transformed into a huge dragon and wolf. The head looked very similar to the legendary Chinese dragon, except that there were no horns on the head and no long tentacles under the mouth.
The dark wolf body is huge and ferocious, and the shadow dragon wolf naturally exudes a faint dragon power that spreads around with the breeze.
In this summer, the occasional chirping of insects even during the day suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only complete silence.
Jia Lian lightly jumped onto Ahu's broad back, grabbing its long mane with one hand, and gently waving to the pretty lady holding Jin Ling'er's tearful eyes with Posha with the other.
Then Jia Lian gently patted Ah Hu's shoulder and back. Ah Hu's huge body slowly crouched downwards, then suddenly jumped into the air, and together with Jia Lian turned into a long black shadow and flew away at high speed.
Xie Yurong stood there and stared at the direction where Jia Lian and A Hu disappeared for a long time, and then slowly entered the house under her sister's persuasion.
"Sister, Lian Lang won't come back, right?"
"..."
Yu Rong's sister didn't know how to answer this question for a while, so she could only change the topic.
"Rong'er, tell your sister honestly, did you and that adult have anything... last night?"
"Oh, sister~"
"Yes or no?"
"No! Lian Lang is worried that I will be looked down upon by his family when I enter the house in the future. Without that..."
Aunt Xie was silent for a moment, but her charming eyes couldn't help showing bursts of joy. It was not easy to meet a husband who was so loving to her daughter's family in these days.
My younger sister usually looks a little dazed, but now she is considered a fool and a fool is lucky. I will have to go to my father and mother's tomb to put a few more sticks of incense later.
The two sisters chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Aunt Xie hurriedly went to see her husband, Magistrate Lu.
Xie Yurong was sitting on the chair and started to wonder. It turned out that her husband was actually the hero who saved tens of thousands of people in Antai County yesterday!
Even the cute kitten in his arms and the huge wolf beast "Ahu" were one of the four heroes who rescued An Tai yesterday!
A strong sense of pride arises spontaneously, that is my man...
very nice!
…
"Game World" Jia Lian was too exhausted last night and was unable to lead the [Jia Lian Army] into it.
However, this approach has always been tried before. The "game world" is like a real game at this point. As long as Jia Lian has not logged in, time will stop at the moment of exit.
If Jia Lian's previous speculation is true, and the "game world" is a real world, then this power to manipulate it from the time dimension is really beyond Jia Lian's current understanding!
A new high tower was built on the right side of the main castle of Fabresburg. Encouraged by the lord's real wages and benefits such as food and accommodation, the main body of the tower was completed in just two months.
Today is already half a month later. During this period, the six-winged fallen angel Jia Min has been taking his two magic apprentices to arrange magic circles on this high tower.
A large amount of magic materials and gold in the inner treasury of Fabresburg were consumed like running water, and even the noble steward responsible for managing the place felt heartbroken.
But this well-informed aristocratic butler had also already heard about the tragedy that happened at Heye Castle two to three hundred kilometers away some time ago. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to say anything to blame Jia Min at this moment.
After all, judging from the location of the magic tower, even if the same tragedy happens in Fabresburg one day in the future, the housekeeper who lives in the main castle all year round will just be able to enjoy the blessing of the magic tower, and the safety guarantee will be greatly enhanced!
The surrounding human kingdoms are not at peace these days, and I don't know if the great gods are really about to abandon their people.
During this period of time, five more castles from the three surrounding kingdoms were destroyed!
As many as 27 village-level territories were lost, and almost all the people who originally lived in these ruined places were gone.
The number of caravans traveling between various parties has also decreased by nearly half, which shows that the situation outside is also quite serious...
Alas, I really hope that the God of Warriors can save Ta's people as soon as possible!
Jia Lian stood on the terrace high in the castle, watching the beautiful figure with three pairs of huge wings constantly dissolving and blending around the tall magic tower, spreading magic energy and various materials.
When the beautiful figure completed a stage of work, Jia Lian waved his hand at the right time, indicating that Jia Min could rest.
With a gentle breeze, Jia Min folded her wings and landed in front of Jia Lian. The aunt and nephew smiled at each other tacitly. Jia Lian stretched out his hand to guide them. They came to the inside of the terrace, each chose a chair and sat down, and began to enjoy.
afternoon tea.
"Auntie, do you think life here will be a little monotonous?"
"What's the matter? Although I occasionally miss my Yu'er and Yong'er, there is still endless magic knowledge waiting for me to delve into. The pursuit of truth is the eternal pursuit of a mage!"
"Haha~ Auntie, you are really a bit like a legendary human mage. Speaking of which profession do you belong to, why do you seem to be no match for warriors and mages of the same level?"
"Of course, I am a creature of the gods second only to the Son of God, and I have thousands of years of combat experience. How can I be comparable to a human in just a few hundred years of life?"
"Auntie, do you know how to advance to the demigod realm?"
"Demigod? Lian'er, you are still a little short of reaching the legendary realm. Why do you want to inquire about the knowledge of demigods at this time?"
"Auntie, although it's still early for me, Jin Ling'er, Dahei and Ahu are about to reach this level!
I am afraid that something unexpected might happen, so I want to ask you for advice in advance."
???
The six-winged fallen angel in front of him, who usually paid attention to his elegant demeanor, suddenly had an earthquake in his pupils, and the entire angel froze, staring blankly at Jia Lian.
"You mean that Xiao Ling'er has reached the peak of legend?"
What's wrong with this world? How could a six-winged fallen angel with a noble birth like me be surpassed so easily by her own cats and dogs!
I thought that my high-level legendary cultivation and the legendary peak-level combat power with the dual profession of warrior and mage were already my nephew's biggest support and support.
Unexpectedly, this guy just raised a little raccoon slave and surpassed his "thousands of years" of practice in less than twenty years.
This is really, life is unpredictable!
"Well, not only Jin Ling'er, but also Dahei and Ahu..."
Jia Min: "..."
After a long time, Jia Min suppressed the curse words in her chest that were distilled from the languages of various intelligent races. She suddenly grabbed Jia Lian's hand and put it to her mouth, biting it "viciously" with her teeth!
"Hiss~ It hurts so much..."
Jia Min went crazy for a while before accepting the fact that she was really surpassed by the cats and dogs at home.
"To advance to the fifth level of demigod, you first need to create your own [godhead], then store up enough power of faith, formulate a path that conforms to your own heart and will, and obtain a [priesthood] that fully suits you through practice, and then you can achieve the goal of becoming a demigod.
After the power of faith is condensed and transformed by the priesthood into your own power, it becomes the power of a demigod.
Beings that can independently transform, condense and use the power of demigods can be called demigods!"
"I roughly understand how the [Priesthood] came about, but what about the [Divinity]?
Is it possible to kill the current gods, or to find the successor of the ancient fallen gods?"
"Other people's [divine heads] always belong to others, how can you inherit it?
As for killing gods, my aunt advises Lian'er that you should never have such thoughts!"
"Well...of course I won't think about killing gods. Isn't that what I'm telling you?"
"The raw material of [Godhead] is the same as the material required for the tower spirit, the core component of the magic tower, the fourth-level energy core!
It's just that if you want to refine a [Godhead], you need at least three fourth-level energy cores, and there is a chance of failure. Even if I try, the success rate is less than 60%..."
"Doesn't that mean that the number of gaps in our fourth-level energy core has increased from one to ten? Even adding the chance of failure, it would be best to get more than twenty?"
Jia Lian's head started to get heavy just thinking about it. In the past two months, whenever he had time at night, he would lead the [Jia Lian Legion] to go out to kill monsters.
At least twenty legendary level demons, monsters, devils and orcs were killed by the [Jia Lian Legion], but not a single energy core was exploded...
