Li Mu walked out of another teleportation array hidden deep in the mountain, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.
This was an early warning from his mental perception, indicating that he was not out of danger yet.
Although the ancient teleportation array is powerful, the church's magical blockade is no small matter.
No one knows how deep the Sun Church's background is, and there may be some means to track it down.
Continuously apparating, Li Mu teleported thousands of miles in a few seconds.
A clone walked out of the lunatic asylum, and the clone chose a direction and began to apparate.
As for Li Mu himself, he lifted the blood transformation spell with Belloc as the main body, disguised himself as a stone through his camouflage talent, and stayed at the foot of a nearby mountain, silently waiting for the clone to lure away the pursuers.
As expected, he had just disguised himself, and a powerful being was already chasing him through space.
They didn't find Li Mu disguised as a stone, but chased after the clone.
Li Mu disguised himself as a bird, soared into the sky and flew away.
Flying, it landed in a river and pretended to be a fish and went downstream.
At the same time, the replica of the insane asylum that was being chased in the distance disappeared silently.
The Pope of the Church of the Sun, who witnessed the disappearance of the clones with his own eyes, sensed the aura of the gods from the dissipated clones. Although it was very weak, it was the purest aura of the gods. This made his first reaction, that there was still something there.
Other gods are eyeing the Crystal Skull inherited from the Black family.
The entire Church of the Sun immediately mobilized, using all kinds of magical spells, spells and [relics] that could be used for tracking.
However, there was no trace of Belloc at all, as if this man did not exist.
In desperation, the Church of the Sun could only offer a large reward for Belloc, and at the same time declared the Brandon family to be blasphemous, and the title of hereditary duke was removed. Suddenly, countless people throughout the Mayan Empire were looking for Belloc, and even two neighboring empires were looking for Belloc.
Countless people are looking for Beilock because of the reward.
At the same time, two days later, the Church of the Sun announced that it would publicly execute the old Duke Brandon in one month.
At this time, Li Mu had already appeared in the city-state of Atlantis.
The three major countries in the Western Continent, the Mayan Empire is located in the mountains and plains, the Egyptian Empire is located in the desert and wasteland, and the city-state of Atlantis is located in the coastal zone, consisting of coastal zones and countless islands. Because of its geographical location, it is far away from the God Abandoned Land.
The closest place to the ground.
Countless professionals who want to explore the land abandoned by the gods will gather on the islands of the city-state of Atlantis.
Therefore, business here is extremely developed and management is not so strict.
Hurricane Islands, an archipelago with the main island of Hurricane City as its core.
There are hurricanes here out of the twelve months out of the year, and the resulting heavy rains and tsunamis never stop. It can be said that the natural environment is extremely harsh and completely unsuitable for survival, but the population here is not large at all.
And it's extremely prosperous.
Quicksand Island is an island made entirely of gravel.
This island can still exist only because there are sand-fixing trees growing on the island. This plant can exert extremely strong binding force on the gravel. Therefore, even hurricanes and tsunamis cannot take away the gravel on the island. Instead, they are swept away by the tsunami.
As time goes by, more gravel is absorbed by the sand trees and continues to expand the area of the island.
Although the island area is getting larger and larger, the value of Liusha Island is very low.
There were no resources or special products, so Li Mu bought the island for less than 10,000 gold coins.
Next, he plans to settle here for a while and wait for me to come.
The main reason why he chose Liusha Island was because he could enter the mirror world on Liusha Island and cover the entire Hurricane Islands. In this way, he would be able to detect any troubles earlier. Although he is hiding well now, he will never underestimate the church and the people behind them.
of gods.
Li Mu apparated to the center of the island and found an open space surrounded by several Dingsha trees.
As far as he knew, the Dingsha tree was a specialty of the Egyptian Empire.
Relying on this kind of tree, it can stabilize the desert near the oasis and reduce the erosion of the oasis by sandstorms and deserts. With the power of magic, there are more and more oases in the Egyptian Empire. It is not known who brought the sand-fixing tree to the coast to create it.
Get out of this quicksand island.
Li Mu cast a few transformation spells and transformed the gravel into a beach villa.
The mirror void covered the island, and the old housekeeper began to arrange various magic circles on the island.
Although the old butler is vulnerable to the Church of the Sun, he is still a butler of the Duke family. He has followed old Duke Brandon for thousands of years and is now a LV79 magic array alchemist. This is a profession that is extremely good at setting up magic arrays.
In the past, in the Duke's Mansion, maintaining the magic circle of the Duke's Mansion was the old butler's main job.
Soon the magic circle barrier was finished, and the old housekeeper looked at Li Mu but hesitated to speak.
He didn't want to ask the Duke to save the old Duke. He was just worried about little Lucy who was about to die. But he didn't know what to say to the Duke. Even if he told the Duke, there was no way he could save Little Lucy. Thinking of this, he
Turn around and return to the mirror void to take care of little Lucy.
Li Mu also returned to the Mirror Void, but he was sorting out the Brandon family's treasure trove.
Because there were so many treasures, he had to let the demon larvae clone control a large number of clones to count them together.
Even so, it took him several days to count all the treasures.
The first is gold coins, a total of 10 million gold coins. Without silver coins, gold coins are the lowest currency. These 10 million gold coins are just pocket money stored in the treasury. The real wealth is up to 100,000 divine grace gold coins.
Each divine grace gold coin is equivalent to ten thousand gold coins, and one hundred thousand is equivalent to one billion ordinary gold coins.
This is the accumulation of the Duke family, and gold coins are only the least valuable thing in the entire treasure house. What is truly valuable are various resources that are several times the amount of divine grace gold coins. It is conservatively estimated that these resources are enough to train thousands of LV70 professionals.
There are so many resources, but they are piled in the treasure house instead of being converted into strength?
The reason is very simple. The original force of Duke Brandon's Palace was already very tyrannical. Any more tyranny would make the royal family and the church feel uncomfortable. As a result, the resources could not be used and accumulated more and more in the treasury. In the end, everything took advantage of him.
In addition to money and resources, the treasury also contains all professional inheritances owned by the Brandon family.
From wizards to thieves, from knights to hunters and other professions, and even simple magical inheritance, the treasure house has it all, but the most relevant inheritance is the inheritance of the necromancer, which is also the professional inheritance passed down from generation to generation in the Brandon family.
.
Li Mu was even certain that the necromancers' magic book in Duke Brandon's Mansion would surpass the pure white tower.
There is no need to organize these magic books, the interior of the treasure house itself is well organized.
So Li Mu sorted out various resources and began to sort out the various treasures of the Brandon family.
Many treasures are also resources, but their high levels are rare and cannot be mass-produced.
What was left most were the corpses and skeletons of various powerful creatures, then various magic equipment, and finally the smallest number were [relics]. What surprised Li Mu was that there were only five [relics] in the entire treasure house.
After reading the patriarch's inheritance in the crystal skull, Li Mu realized what was going on.
[Relic] Although it is good, the side effects are not that shocking.
Those low-quality relics with major side effects were not as valuable as magic equipment with minor side effects, and they were all used by family members. When the family members were killed by the Twilight Ashes Curse that day, they were all killed by the Church of the Sun who came to deal with the funeral.
The priest took it away easily.
It was not just the [relics] that were taken away, but also the cursed corpses.
At that time, the old Duke Brandon was also doing his best to remove the Twilight Ash Curse from his body, so he was completely unable to stop the Church of the Sun. Afterwards, he went to ask for the corpses. In the end, he only wanted to return the corpses of the old Duchess and two sons. No matter what the remaining corpses were.
The Church of the Sun has not returned it.
Because of this, those [relics] with little side effects fell into the hands of the Church of the Sun.
Li Mu regretfully looked at the remaining five [relics]. Although they were small in quantity, they were all of high quality.
All of them are of orange quality. As for the red quality altar of the dead that was passed down, it was either carried by old Duke Brandon or secretly hidden by the old housekeeper to leave to Lucy. Anyway, he could not find the altar of the dead in the treasure house.
After reading the five orange [relics], three of them have serious side effects.
There are two items that are truly valuable to him, namely the Blood Feast Wine Cup and the Steam Heart.
The Blood Feast Wine Cup originated from the Vampire Clan, and they were [relics] excavated from the ancient ruins under the Mountain City.
Filling the Blood Feast wine glass with your own blood and drinking it in one gulp can directly increase your extraordinary level.
The upper limit is LV70, but the side effect is that you have to drink your own blood every day. When you upgrade your extraordinary level, the higher your extraordinary level, the more blood you need to drink every day. The Brandon family has done experiments, and it takes LV69 to LV70.
Drinks half of his own blood every day.
After drinking it for a year, the side effects were strictly speaking very mild.
After all, in the extraordinary world, there are many ways to replenish blood.
The second [Relic] Steam Heart is left, which is a [Relic] that needs to be integrated into the heart.
After fusion, the life will be transformed into a mechanical life and changed to a LV70 steam mechanic.
The side effect is that after becoming a mechanical life, it likes to take out human hearts. In the first year, it only needs to take out one, and then it will double every year. It was fine in the first few years, but as time goes by, the number of hearts that need to be taken out increases, and it will eventually become
The public enemy of humankind.
If these two [relics] are used well, they can definitely provide two more LV70 professional helpers.
Especially for the latter, anyone can be transferred to a LV70 steam mechanic by just looking for one. Anyway, the side effects are very weak in the first few years. As long as the side effects are multiplied geometrically, the side effects can be minimized by giving the steam heart a new owner.
.
Li Mu put away the two [relics] and flashed them into the mirror void.
He copied the Duke of Brandon's Palace in the mirror void, which had no magic circle. At this time, the servants and guards of the Duke's Palace were still performing their duties. These people were loyal to the Duke of Brandon's Palace in the past, but
It's hard to guarantee that someone will change their mind now that the Brandon family is in trouble.
If someone has bad intentions, he will have no choice but to move again.
So the top priority is that he needs to control the remaining strength of the Brandon family.
The most critical one is the old housekeeper, whose intervention is enough to stabilize the situation.
But the old butler is now preoccupied with taking care of Lucy, and has tried every means to maintain Lucy's life as much as possible. He has no time to manage the Duke's Palace for him, so the top priority is that he needs to find a way to cure Lucy in advance so that the old butler can truly return to his heart.
And it's best to find a way to control Lucy during the healing process.
Otherwise, if Lucy recovers on her own after a few months, God knows if this Lucy is an easy character to deal with. If she is very ambitious, the old butler who will definitely stand by Lucy will be enough to make him, the cheated cloth,
Duke Langdon became the polished commander.
Li Mu came to the next door to his bedroom, where the old housekeeper was feeding Lucy the blood of the Paradise Deer.
This extraordinary life blood of up to LV80 can cure almost all curses. If Twilight Ashes was not the source of the curse created by the Lord of Twilight himself, it would not have almost wiped out the Brandon family.
"I have a way to save her."
Li Mu stepped forward and said.
"What can I do?"
When the old housekeeper heard this, he excitedly grabbed Li Mu's shoulders.
It hurt. At this moment, the old butler completely forgot that he was Duke Brandon.
This made Li Mu determined to control Lucy.
Li Mu spread his hand, and the fire of Nirvana spread to Lucy along his right hand. Under the burning of the fire of Nirvana, the twilight ashes curse on Lucy immediately collided with the fire of Nirvana, and the fire of Nirvana was quickly defeated.
But Twilight Ashes also weakened it a tiny bit.
"That's all I can do."
Li Mu said helplessly, "This is one of my talents, related to the Nirvana of the Fire Phoenix. It's just that my strength is too weak now. Even if I try my best, I can only suppress Twilight Ashes a little, but when my strength improves, I will always be able to do so in the future."
Can heal her."
"Okay...that's great..."
Not only was the old housekeeper not disappointed, but he was so happy that his eyes filled with tears.
If the Twilight Ashes were so easy to solve, the old Duke would not pass on the title and then risk everything to kill the Twilight Church.
Having hope is already the best outcome.
"I hope I can get some help from you."
Li Mu said politely.
"As you command."
The old housekeeper said in fear.
Li Mu was slightly startled. He might have underestimated the old butler's loyalty to the Brandon family.
Although the old butler has a high status, he still seems to be very upright about his status.
I ignored him before just because all my thoughts were on Lucy, it didn't mean I didn't really take him seriously.
"I need to find suitable candidates for them."
Li Mu took out the Blood Feast Wine Cup and Steam Heart at the same time.
"Your head maid is suitable for the Blood Feast Wine Cup..."
The old butler suggested, "It's best to choose soul-bound undead summons for the steam heart."
"Maid maid?"
Li Mu asked doubtfully. He remembered correctly that the head maid assigned to him by the old Duke Brandon was very young.
"The head maid's profession is the fire maid..."
The old housekeeper explained.
After listening for a long time, Li Mu realized that there was such a weird profession as a fire maid in this world.
The combat effectiveness of this profession is very low, but it has two extremely special abilities. The first is super powerful fertility. You must know that the more powerful the extraordinary life is, the harder it is to give birth to offspring. However, the fire maid can definitely give birth to children, and she will give birth to children.
The child's talent will be very good.
The second ability is to pass on one's career and extraordinary power after death.
So even though his head maid is less than twenty years old, she is actually already an extraordinary life of LV69.
The Brandon family spent hundreds of years training two fire-passing maids. It was because the old Duke Brandon felt that several of his maids were useless and his grandchildren did not have any outstanding top talents, so he wanted to use the fire-passing maid.
The maid raised two excellent offspring.
The reason why Lucy is so favored is because her mother is one of the fire maids.
The remaining one was originally reserved for the eldest son, but the eldest son committed suicide and was finally left to him by the old Duke Brandon.
The old butler's meaning is obvious, the Brandon family needs to add more people.
If he is really Belloc, there is nothing wrong with this suggestion.
But he was not. Even if he could lift the Blood Transformation Curse and go into battle himself, he did not want to have a child so early, especially if the child would stay in the Brandon family after birth, so Li Mu immediately rejected the old housekeeper's suggestion.
The old butler sighed regretfully and introduced another suitable user.
This time Li Mu was very satisfied. He quickly met Mia, a night elf called by the old housekeeper. She is the current leader of the remaining dozens of shadow assassins in the Brandon family. She has been trained as a dead soldier since she was a child to be absolutely loyal.
