The encounter in the High Forest is enough to teach other cities a perfect lesson. It is obvious that after the massacre of the tree people and the arson of the High Forest, the other lords should be able to understand that the Inquisition is not someone to be trifled with. object. But for Duanmu Huai, there is no need to care about the thoughts of those lords for the time being. The problem is...
"Mr. Knight, can you build a territory?"
"Yo ho?"
Hearing An's inquiry, Duanmuhuai couldn't help it.
"What? Looking down on me?"
"………………"
Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, An and Gu Leiya looked at each other, and then nodded.
"Well, we're worried."
“What’s so difficult about building a territory?”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai curled his lips and chuckled.
"Of course it's difficult. First of all, talent is a problem."
As he spoke, An stretched out his finger.
"Public security, construction, maintenance, tax collection, security, public facilities, finance... To be honest, Mr. Knight, even if you include the people in the Tribunal, I'm afraid it won't be enough. After all, this is not the maintenance of a battleship. You have to manage the territory, listen to the opinions of the people, and then make decisions, and even formulate taxes and laws... Based on my impression of you, Mr. Knight, I'm afraid you can't do it."
As the princess of Manalia, An often reviews official documents on weekdays. No one knows better than her how to build a territory or even a country. In her opinion, the combat effectiveness in the Tribunal is first-class, but in terms of internal affairs, it is almost a mess. Unfortunately, most of Duan Muhuai's men are either night guards, puppets, or they are just like his crotchless internal affairs department. , has long been completely paralyzed.
But if you want to run a territory in this world now, you can't send all the dolls there, right? Isn't that a weird story?
"Then you come?"
"Am I alone? Are you going to tire me out? I won't do it!"
Hearing this, An Dun was shocked and hurriedly rushed behind Gu Leiya. Just kidding, even if she is a princess, she can't do so much work. Is Duanmu Huai really trying to kill her?
"hehe……………"
Staring at An, Duanmuhuai smiled coldly.
"In the final analysis, it's all about talent. Isn't it hard to find people?"
"Talents are the hardest to find, okay? Do you want Audrey to come? But Audrey is now working as an adjutant for Miss Accott, so she can't hold multiple positions."
Strictly speaking, An was right. To govern a territory, talent was the most difficult thing to find. Duanmuhuai's trial court is basically a bandit group. You can see which bandit group will have some financial and internal affairs departments. But a formal qualified territory definitely cannot do this.
"Indeed, you are right. It is difficult to find talents in other places, but it is different here."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he pointed at his feet.
"Guess, why is this place called the Lost Land?"
"???"
Seeing the confused expressions of An and Gu Liya, Duanmuhuai chuckled. If it were anywhere else, then as An said, talent would be very hard to find. But the Lost Land is different. The reason is very simple, that is, there is a fragment of the soul world in the Lost Land.
This world is very famous among Soul Walker players, and the story in the world itself is not too complicated. To put it simply, a country called Luminas is at war with the devil army. The fight between the two sides is very fierce, but Later, the devil's trick caused Luminas to fall out with his ally Levion, and the two sides fought a battle. The devil's army took advantage of the situation and wiped out both parties. Alleria was also defeated and disappeared.
Later, when Alleria returned to the battlefield, she had been corrupted and turned into the dark swordsman Melissa.
The final result is that everything is completely destroyed, GAME OVER ends with total destruction, and the country is also destroyed, so this place is called the Lost Land - but after so many years, no one probably remembers what happened.
Hmm... But Knight Ji's degeneration and darkening are simply a theme that players love to see, isn't it?
Of course, in addition to this, the reason why this world is known to players is because there is a famous soul card [Legendary Sword] in this world. If the player obtains [Legendary Sword] in this world, and obtains [Legendary Sword] If the player has the title "Blade Commander", then as long as the player summons the "Legendary Sword" during battle, he will obtain the ability of "As long as there is a 'Legendary Sword' on his battlefield, he will launch an assault and convert the damage received to 0" Special effect.
This damn thing is almost as good as invincible!
It's a pity that there is only one legendary sword, and there is only one title of [Legendary Blade Commander]. It's not like Duanmu Huai has never fought with that person - to be honest, it's really difficult.
Of course, players later discovered that this girl was not really invincible. Although it is not affected by other abilities, [except for the ability to change attack power/health].
In other words, as long as you don't attack directly, but change its health and attack power through some special effects, you can also kill it.
But no matter what, this thing is really strong! At least until the rules are figured out, direct attacks, whether magical or physical, are ineffective. It's simply a blast!
Think about it, if you summon this thing on the battlefield and carry it on your back, it is basically equivalent to locking the blood and being invincible!
By the way, most players in the game choose to side with Luminas. The reason is very simple. Luminas has a lot of girls!
The knight is female, the healer is female, the mage is female, the spearman is female, and the princess is even more female—well, the last one seems to be nonsense.
On the other hand, the Knights of Lei Xunqing in Levion are all men, and there are several handsome guys, so either the female players are obsessed with it, or their hobbies are abnormal, otherwise who would go to Levion!
Moreover, there are many capable officials in this world. As long as we solve the troubles in this world and harvest soul cards, will we still worry that no one will use our territory?
"So, I'll come as soon as I go. Before that, I'll ask you to take responsibility."
"Huh? Wait, do you really want to leave it to us? Construction or something..."
"Don't worry about those boring things. Anyway, those guys are unlikely to come to us in a short time. If anyone comes to contact us, they will say that the Tribunal is currently undergoing internal construction and will not be open for the time being!"
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stood up and snapped his fingers, and then Ogis and Qiaowei came over from left to right. He climbed onto the shoulders on both sides of Duanmuhuai with ease, as if he was navigating on autopilot.
"Then, please."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai waved his hand, and then left the hall under the stunned gaze of everyone.
"Uh...what should we do now?"
While stroking the little white rabbit in her arms, Mary looked at Ann and Gu Leiya, who sighed helplessly.
"What else can I do? Since Mr. Knight has left it to me, it seems that I am the only one now..."
After saying this, An suddenly turned her eyes and stared at Mary.
"Miss Mary, will you help me too?"
"Huh? Me? I can't do that!"
Hearing An's words, Mary was suddenly shocked and waved her hands hurriedly.
"I don't have the talent or knowledge in this area...!"
Although Mary studied at the Royal Master's College, she majored in literature, language and archeology. She knew nothing about politics. Ann and Gulea were both princesses, so they would definitely understand even if they were forced to do so, but Mary was a complete novice. Newbie!
"It doesn't matter, you can learn slowly..."
Seeing Mary's panic, An smiled and grabbed her hand.
"Will you help, Miss Mary?"
"This.........okay."
After all, Mary was still a middle-class citizen at heart. She didn't have the guts to refuse the princess's request, so she could only nod helplessly.
Now I just hope that Mr. Duanmu can come back soon.
Although Mary prayed this way, unfortunately... her wish did not come true.
"It doesn't seem like it's here..."
Looking at the wilderness in front of him, Duanmu Huai scratched his head helplessly. It had been two days since he left the battleship. He ran around in the Lost Land, trying to find an entrance and exit to the soul world, but he found nothing. .
Did he blow up the Lost Land and blow up the gate as a result?
It can't be so unlucky!
"I said, how long do we have to look for?"
Qiangwei followed beside her, complaining dissatisfiedly, while Ogis was silently flipping through the book - she was used to passing the time.
"I've been looking for it for two days. Master, why haven't you found the 'door' yet?"
"It's almost here, it's almost here, it should be around here..."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai rubbed the ring, and soon, a translucent ghost girl emerged from it.
"Is there any movement nearby?"
"over there."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, the ghost girl closed her eyes and sensed it, then pointed to a pile of boulders not far away. Duanmuhuai also followed the ghost girl's instructions and walked in the direction of the pile of boulders, and then he went up and down. Down, turned left and right.
“This is it??”
"Yes."
"Oh well."
Duanmu Huai exhaled and then opened his eyes.
"Soul resonance!"
The next moment, with Duanmu Huai's roar, the empty air in front of him began to surge, and then something... something wrong appeared.
Half a portal.
The other half is underground.
"………………"
Looking at the portal in front of him, Duanmu Huai was completely speechless.
"Pfft!"
Seeing this scene, Qian Wei couldn't help laughing.
"Master, how do you plan to get in?"
"you still need to ask?"
Facing Qi Wei's inquiry, Duanmu Huai glared at her fiercely.
"Of course I climbed in!"
