Lord of War

"Rud Michelin?"

Cazes Hochdi's eyes froze for a moment.レ;Thinking♥Road♣Guestレ

But soon, he remembered the face that matched the name.

It was a face full of vitality unique to young people.

The owner of this face is very young, in the impression of Prince Cazes Hokkidi, the other party still stays in the appearance of six years ago, and the relevant memory has always been in the last time he collected about this young man on intelligence data.

At first, he knew about this young man because he received a tip that someone was walking very close to his youngest daughter.

Prince Cazes Hokkidi has three sons and two daughters in total, the order is the eldest son, the eldest daughter, the second son, the third son, and the second daughter, so the second daughter is the youngest in his bloodline , the eldest son and second daughter were born to the main wife, the eldest daughter and third son were born to the second concubine, and the second son was born to the third concubine. It's just that the main wife died after giving birth to the youngest daughter, so Prince Cazes Hochdi dotes on this little daughter whose appearance is 70% similar to his mother.

It was also for this reason that when he heard someone walking very close to his little daughter for the first time, he directly mobilized a large part of his strength to collect information about the young man on the other side.

Then, within a short period of time, the entire family history of the Michelin family had been compiled and placed on the desk of Prince Cazes Hochdi.

And with the duplication, Prince Cazes Hokkidi became less and less optimistic about this young man.

Because at that time, Rude was in an extreme rebellious period. Although Cazes appreciated his self-reliance, he only appreciated it. Because unless people like Rude are extremely lucky, it will take at least several generations of hard work to turn the entire Michelin family into a family of powerful earls, but in the end that's all. , because for the current situation of the Darbion Kingdom, no matter how high the title is, it is almost impossible to produce it. After all, there is no open space in the domestic territory, unless it is a private dispute among the nobles.

However, no one would dare to start the civil strife among the nobles easily, because it would inevitably involve a huge chain of interests, and usually one of the two nobles who started it would end up with the extermination of the clan.

Under such circumstances, is Prince Cazes Hokkidi confident in handing over his daughter to such a young man who is doomed to have no future and can only work hard all his life? Even though this young man showed great talent in the subsequent Four Years War and the Great Patriotic War, in the eyes of Prince Cazes Hochidi,

It is just a potential subordinate who is suitable for investment and training, not even an ally at all.

And the most important thing is that Ruud later gave up the status of earl and instead inherited the status of field viscount established by his family, which disappointed the then Prince Cazes Hochdi. Because if it was him, he would definitely choose to do something and directly turn the territory opened up by the family into his territory. In this way, although the Michelin family will lose some benefits because of this, they can also change their appearance Becoming a field earl noble, this is what the prince once said "under the circumstances of great luck".

But it's a pity that Ruud Michelin didn't cherish it, just because he had a little sense of family honor for his own family.

After that, Prince Cazes Hochdi naturally forbade his youngest daughter to have any relationship with the Viscount, and even directly ordered to block and destroy any evidence that might have been left before. After all, if a prince's daughter has any affair with a viscount, it will seriously affect the reputation of his youngest daughter, which is something that Prince Cazes Hochdi cannot allow.

Over time, the name "Rud Michelin" completely faded out of Prince Cazes Hokkidi's vision.

until recently.

In the impression of this prince, when the development of Dayland began to develop and became more and more prosperous, he still heard some stories about this viscount vaguely, but that was all for him at that time. . It wasn't until the local war led by the Boulder family that broke out with Lord Panda that the young Viscount's name was re-examined by Prince Cazes Hochidi again.

Only this time, the prince's comment on Ruud Michelin was a stupid traitor.

After all, the Darbion Kingdom at that time was still at the peak of its combat power, and it belonged to a big country that could crush the Principality of Ryan in minutes if it hadn't been supported by such a behemoth as the Fortress of Tonis. It's just that no one thought that in just a few months, it was the Kingdom of Darbion who was forced to the point of desperation, and even he, the prince, had to die now.

"This world is really ironic." Prince Cazes Hochdi laughed self-deprecatingly, "That young man, are you okay?"

"Very good." Sean nodded, "Rud's talent does not lie in his talent in martial arts or in military strategy, politics, etc. Blood....It is precisely because of this blood that he is particularly sensitive to numbers, so he can deal with many details patiently. No matter how complicated things are in his hands, he can go straight to the core Divide things into many simple links, and then filter and process them according to the difficulty and importance. Therefore, in my opinion, even if he is able to manage and rule a marquis, it is definitely more than enough Yes, even if it is a duchy, he is definitely qualified for the position of consul."

Prince Cazes Hokkidi was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that Xiao En was actually speaking to him.

As the prince of a kingdom, his territory is naturally not that small. Although it is not as exaggerated as the territory of the Duke of Tequila, it still has the size of a normal duchy. Therefore, according to Sean's words, if he hadn't objected to the matter between his daughter and Rude, then maybe his youngest daughter would be the head of the Hochidi family in the future. With the ability, it is no problem to make the Huoqidi family strong for at least another generation.

"It seems that I was wrong." Prince Cazes Hokkidi suddenly smiled heartily, and the suppressed pessimism on his face disappeared, "If this is the case, I may be able to rest assured about my daughter's future. ...It's just a pity for my other heirs."

"You can't ask for too much." Sean said lightly.

"Indeed." Prince Cazes Hokkidi nodded, then he turned around and walked to the place where he was sitting before.

There were also some fruit plates and drinks, all of which could easily give people an illusion, as if the prince did not come out to fight, but out for an outing. However, Sean didn't say anything when the prince walked back to the table with drinks, because at this distance, he was absolutely sure that he could kill this prince who was actually at the next golden peak with one blow.

"Do you mind if I choose my own way of death?" The prince poured himself a glass of wine, then turned to look at Sean and said.

Sean didn't speak, just made a light movement.

Then the prince took off the two rings he was wearing on his right hand, one with a ruby ​​and the other with a sapphire: "Please understand that the ring was once worn by my wife and I, I hope you can put it on They went into the hands of my daughter."

Almost as soon as Prince Cazes Hokkidi finished speaking, the long-lost electronic synthesis voice buzzed in Sean's mind immediately.

[You have activated a new territory mission. 】

Territory mission!

Sean's pupils shrank suddenly.

If it weren't for the electronic synthesis sound in his mind suddenly sounding at this time, Sean would have almost forgotten that he still has such a special mysterious system.

To a certain extent, this system has indeed given Xiao En a lot of benefits. It can even be said that without such a system, he would not be able to achieve today's achievements anyway. At least if it wasn't for the lottery system that came with this system that allowed him to gain a lot of skill points, he wouldn't know when he would be able to learn the technique of Requiem; The task of helping Ess Winter to find the power of faith is not a chance to draw a lottery, but that reward is more important than a chance to draw a lottery in a sense.

So no matter what, the activation of the territory mission usually means that the rewards it gives are very good or even very important.

[Task Name: Returned token]

[Quest Content: Prince Cazes Hokkidi asks you to bring the Twin Rings of Fate to his youngest daughter, Vinnie Hokkidi. 】

[Task requirements: Return the pair of destiny double rings to their original owners; or keep them as your own. 】

[Task Reward: Return the property to the original owner:? ? ? ; Take it as your own: You will get the double ring of fate. 】

【Please note! Depending on the behavior, the subsequent tasks that may be triggered will be completely different! Therefore, it is recommended to choose carefully! 】

Sean carefully scanned the task list displayed on the retina, and then he found that the rewards given by this territory mission were not clearly stated, which really made Sean feel a little incredible. Because until now, all the territorial missions Sean has received will have very clear descriptions of mission rewards, and it is absolutely impossible for such completely uncertain reward contents like three question marks to appear.

So when he saw this option, Sean's first reaction was to see what kind of thing this so-called double ring of fate was, and it was actually worthy of the territory mission to give an option of "taking it for himself".

Various thoughts flashed through Sean's mind.

Prince Cazes Hochdi didn't seem to notice anything strange about Sean. After he said this, he had already taken off a ring inlaid with black gemstones on his left hand, but the shape of this ring was much simpler, but when Prince Cazes Hochdi put this ring After taking it off, he removed a black gemstone on it, and then poured all the powder inside into his wine glass.

Immediately afterwards, before Sean could speak, the prince drank his glass in one gulp.

Soon, a look of pain appeared on his face, and then he struggled to sit on the chair next to him, and his body began to convulse slightly. However, these reactions were not intense—at least Sean did not seem to be very intense, but the reaction time of the drug effect was completely beyond everyone's expectations, because it was only a short period of one minute before and after. Prince Cazes Hokkidi died immediately.

At this time, Xuefanio, who was waiting quietly, immediately stepped forward to check.

A few seconds later, Cefanio left the prince's side, nodded to Sean, and announced that the prince was really dead.

A burst of cheers began to sound from the top of this mountain.

No one who belongs to Sean's side will be unhappy, because with the death of Prince Cazes Hochdi, this war can finally be officially declared over. At this moment, William, accompanied by Bannock and another strongman belonging to Florence, is rushing towards the side, because the following issues such as cleaning the battlefield and taking prisoners are the most important things in the future. .

And these things, Sean has always been not good at, so naturally can only be responsible for William.

Fortunately, William did not reject these matters. Although he still murmured a few words about Sean, he still quickly led people to deal with these aftermaths happily. And in Sean's words, it's counterattacks like "Although he said no, but his body is very honest". In front of William, Sean didn't dare to say such a thing.

It's just unfortunate that there are quite a few gold-level powerhouses among the people present, so unless Xiao En's muttering is not to be heard, these people will still be able to hear it; They all looked at William with smirks on their faces, but no one explained to William why they were laughing.

As for Sean, who had enjoyed being a hands-off shopkeeper, he picked up the pair of rings that were placed on the table by Prince Cazes Hochdi.

Then……

"Fuck!" Sean let out a curse.

[Tears of Vermilion, legend, intelligence +15, spirit +15. ? ? ? (seal)】

[Description of the item: It is said that it is a family heirloom of the Hochidi family. It is a matching pair with the Tears of Cangqing. Prince Cazes Hochidi called it the Double Ring of Destiny. It is said that only those who have both rings are The orthodox heir of the Hochidi family. But when you take over this ring, you can feel the surging power contained in it, but when you want to explore more and more detailed powers about this ring, a hidden breath blocks it. up your probe. Before you can completely erase this special aura, I'm afraid you will never know the true function of this ring. 】

[Tears of Cangqing, legend, strength +15, agility +15. ? ? ? (seal)】

[Description of the item: It is said that it is a family heirloom of the Huoqidi family, and it is a matching pair with the scarlet tears. Prince Cazes Huoqidi called it the double ring of fate. The orthodox heir of the Chidi family. But when you take over this ring, you can feel the surging power contained in it, but when you want to explore more and more detailed powers about this ring, a hidden breath blocks it. up your probe. Before you can completely erase this special aura, I'm afraid you will never know the true function of this ring. 】

Two legendary rings!

And it is still enough to be called the best legendary ring!

Sean, who has played "Miracle" for so many years, knows very well that the most difficult equipment to obtain in this game is accessories such as necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, etc. Of course, if it's just for decoration and looks good, there are a lot of jewelry stores, as long as you have money, you can get anything. But for real high-end players, what they pursue is naturally to have accessories and equipment with attribute effects, who would want the purely decorative props of ordinary whiteboards?

Therefore, the value of a piece of jewelry equipment with fairly good attribute effects is generally far higher than that of other types of equipment.

However, because accessories and equipment are usually props such as rings and necklaces, which are shared equipment props, unlike wands, swords, and axes that have specific occupational requirements, the attributes are naturally more complicated. At least Sean has seen accessories and props with strange attributes such as agility and spirit, endurance and wisdom, strength and spirit.

In this way, a ring with intelligence plus spirit like Vermilion Tears, or a ring with strength and agility like Cangqing Tears, is naturally a top-grade ring. What's more commendable is that the total attribute value bonus of these two legendary rings is as high as 30 points, and at the same time, it is evenly distributed among the two attributes. This is not an ordinary top-grade ring, but a very rare super Excellent ring!

Because normally speaking, the equipment attribute bonuses of the two levels of legendary and epic are rarely relatively high, like the dead bone in Xiao En's hand. If it wasn't because of beheading a sacrificed demon before, then this weapon The total attribute bonus is only fifty points. You must know that the total attribute value added by Tiers' lucky necklace on his body is as high as fifty-two points, and the necklace is only a weak gold grade. As for Xiao En's other legendary ring [Thinker], the additional attribute is even lower, only ten points. In this way, the vermilion tear and the blue tear are more high-end and elegant. up.

Of course, if one must say that these two rings have any shortcomings, it is undoubtedly the mark "??? (seal)" displayed later.

The reason why legendary and epic equipment is more advanced than other equipment is because equipment of this level has its own history, stories, or legends. In these histories, this kind of equipment was contaminated with so-called aura or magic energy due to various reasons, so it became more and more obvious that it had a stronger utility or ability than ordinary equipment.

To use the terminology in the game, that is the increase of additional attributes. Even if there are not many additional attributes, they will definitely be very rare and rare attributes.

This point is vividly reflected in the [Thinker] ring: Although this ring only has two additional attributes, one concentration and one wisdom are enough to keep Xiao En far superior to others. strong advantage.

But on the Vermilion Tears and Cang Qing Tears, the attributes that should have been additionally displayed are displayed as three question marks, which is really a bit sorry for the identities of these two rings. Because it comes with equipment with a total attribute of only 30 points, which is equivalent to a piece of micro-effect silver, although because of the rarity of jewelry equipment, its value will present a sick ratio-if roughly in the game It can be sold at a price equivalent to the gold grade of special effects-but this still cannot make up for the defects of these two rings.

At this moment, even with his toes, Xiao En knows what kind of plot will happen if he takes these two rings as his own. It is nothing more than starting to rush around to unseal the two rings. .

So in the final analysis, the option of taking it for himself is definitely tempting him to commit a crime!

However, Sean looked at the three question marks behind the reward for returning the three items to their original owners, and he really felt itchy.

To pay or not to pay, that is the question! (To be continued.)
