Chapter 1251
Ford Mo nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, that's right. We just saw someone coming to make trouble. You know, there are too many blind people. Someone must be guarding here. After all, if a Heaven-level strongman comes to make trouble, those alchemical puppets may not be able to survive.
Although the two of us are not very strong, it is enough to deal with Heaven-level one or two strongmen. In order to express our apologies, we decided to apply for the position of guardian."
Lefort took out two contracts, which had already been signed with magic signatures. Only the other side had to sign, and the contract would be officially effective.
Faro took the contract and looked at it. There was no problem with the carrier of the contract, because the paper of the contract itself was produced by Gilded Rose.
Looking at the contents of the contract, Farrow's face became a little weird...
The contract is valid for 500 years, and the contract stipulates that the security of the Gilded Rose must be protected, and the strong men who come to make trouble must not be harmed, and any of the Gilded Rose must not be stolen...
The contract is very long and has more than 40 clauses, which is extremely harsh...
In short, it is to send two powerful security guards for free, who only need to be provided with food and accommodation but no wages, and do not have to worry about betrayal...
Because the cost of violating the contract is very high, the lowest backlash of violating the contract is the dissipation of magic power. If the violation of the contract is more serious, the backlash is that the soul falls into the endless purgatory, and it is really difficult to die...
Then looking at the contract, and then looking at Lefort and Fordmo who are looking at him eagerly, Farrow is a little confused and can't understand it at all.
Damn, what did Lord Merlin do to scare these two guys like this? With such harsh conditions, they actually came to the door to beg for a contract, and it is the most stringent soul contract...
Are they crazy?
Farrow looked at the contract, then at the two people, and was really confused. Finally, he picked up the contract, turned around and went back to find the creator he had recruited before, and a group of people were determined together. The result of the appraisal showed that there was no problem with the contract. Whether it was the contract carrier, ink, or even the writing tools, they were all produced by their Gilded Rose...
The only conclusion he came to was that the heads of these two heavenly-level strongmen were kicked by the pig beast, and they were seriously injured...
This kind of good thing, no matter what these two guys wanted to do, Farrow had no reason to refuse. Signing his name on the contract meant that the contract was established.
After the contract was signed, Lefort and Fortemo were completely relieved, as if they had received a great benefit...
Then that day, in the eighteen stores of Gilded Rose, there were two more Heavenly Grade Level 2 strongmen guarding all the time, one of whom was a weird dark curse mage. Sure enough, there were fewer people who came to cause trouble...
At this time, the Jackson family also sent people to apologize to Lin Yun, saying that they had completely expelled Lefort and Fortemo from the Jackson family, and that it was the order issued by the old ancestor himself. Now they have nothing to do with the Jackson family, no matter life or death...
On the other hand, Lin Yun didn't know about this yet, and continued to lead people to sweep in the puppet plane. Nineteen Heavenly Grade Alchemy puppets have been killed, eight of which have talent runes, which is already a very high ratio, and nine Heavenly Grade Alchemy puppets with black matter.
All the black matter obtained was used to strengthen Pabet's devouring system.
In addition to the constant replacement of parts and upgrading of Pabet, Pabet's strength has improved very quickly. Now he is at level 43. In real combat, he is only slightly weaker than Lin Yun, but much stronger than Xiuban and Lena.
Another steel city was found, covering a range of more than 20 kilometers, with a protective spire more than a thousand meters high. This means that the strongest alchemy puppet inside should be level 43 or even level 44, and the number of heaven-level alchemy puppets will not be less than five.
Two such steel cities have been attacked before, and Lin Yun did not care and continued to attack.
Half an hour later, the five alchemy puppets were disassembled into parts, and all the talent runes and black matter obtained were collected.
At this time, the little wolf who had been standing quietly on Lin Yun's shoulder cried anxiously.
A series of information was transmitted to Lin Yun's head. In the little wolf's perception, a very terrible danger would come soon. At most a few minutes, all living things here would die.
When Lin Yun heard this, his hair stood on end. Without thinking, he immediately put away all the alchemy puppets, and then took Xiuban, Reina, and Pabet on the floating flying boat and started to escape.
When this floating flying boat was made, only speed and concealment were considered, and concealment was the focus. When flying, there was no magic fluctuation, and all magic fluctuations would not be emitted. In addition, it was invisible, so the safety was very high.
After getting on the flying boat, Lin Yun immediately urged the fastest speed and headed towards the puppet cemetery where he came in at the beginning. That was the weakest place in this large area.
Less than a minute after flying, Lin Yun felt a very terrible magic fluctuation coming from behind. A thousand-meter-long, bear-like giant claw of light fell from the dark void and slammed hard at the steel city just now.
A series of loud rumbling noises sounded, and the terrifying shock wave swept across. The surrounding area of more than ten kilometers was razed to the ground, and the steel city covering more than twenty kilometers also disappeared completely. Only some black iron buildings on the edge were left and flew away.
The seven or eight kilometers in the center of the steel city collapsed completely, and those solid black iron buildings were like a pile of black plasticine being slapped hard by a giant bear.
All the buildings were squeezed into a black discus with a range of more than ten kilometers, and in the center of the discus was a giant bear paw print with a range of seven or eight kilometers.
Looking back at the huge paw print, Xiuban's face turned green, and Lin Yun's eyelids twitched wildly. If it weren't for the little wolf's warning, they would have no chance to escape.
It took less than two seconds from the time the giant paw was discovered by them to the time it fell to the ground. If they resisted this blow, they would definitely die and not even a bone residue could be found.
This attack was at least launched by a level 49 alchemical puppet. They were not worth the puppet king's personal attack...
The harvest this time was not small. It was better to be honest for a while and then move forward from another direction. If nothing unexpected happened, the terrible alchemical puppet discovered the problem here through the dismantled protective spire.
Because if it was a war between puppets, even if the Iron City was robbed, the protective spire would never be dismantled...
Flying on the flying boat, Lin Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Forget it, anyway, the dismantled protective spire is enough for research. Next time, don't dismantle the core building of the Iron City. Just hunt the Heaven-level alchemical puppets...
Flying all the way back to the puppet cemetery at the beginning, looking at the large mountain of discarded parts, Lin Yun was completely relieved.
It's completely safe here.
Just when Lin Yun was about to return to the world of Northrend, something happened to the Gilded Rose...
At the border between the Kingdom of Odin and the Kingdom of Andalusia, a huge floating airship over a hundred meters long slowly floated towards the Kingdom of Odin. A huge roulette mark was printed on the surface of the airship, and in the center of the roulette mark was a golden rose, which was the symbol of the Gilded Rose.
In a floating airship, all the raw materials of the Gilded Rose were processed in the first step. After arriving in the Kingdom of Odin, they could be used immediately to make various alchemical items.
Every few days, there would be such a floating airship flying from the Kingdom of Andalusia to the Kingdom of Odin. Although the speed of this thing was not very fast, far less than that of the floating flying boat, the capacity was very large. Many materials that needed special preservation could be carried by a floating airship. Although the speed was a little slow, the cost-effectiveness was terrible, which would reduce the transportation cost of the Gilded Rose several times.
Moreover, there are some special materials in it. Ordinary materials are all loaded with special space rings. Some materials need to be stored in a special environment to ensure the effect after completing the first step of processing. Some materials need to be directly exposed to air or some other things after the first step of processing to slowly complete the subsequent processing.
In addition, the space ring is not safe. If the space ring is scrapped, everything will fall into the endless void and never be found again.
As usual, the transportation is still going on, but now there is a problem. In the sky ahead, there is a floating warship dozens of meters long, blocking the front of the transport airship of the Gilded Rose.
The caravan involved in the transportation is a ninth-level titled wizard recruited by the Gilded Rose, and a bunch of alchemical puppets. These days, the Gilded Rose has developed very quickly. No one in the Kingdom of Andalusia dares to touch the caravan of the Gilded Rose. The Kingdom of Odin also gives some face, and the bandits who don’t give face have been almost wiped out.
I didn't expect that someone would block the road again this time, and even used a floating warship. This is not something that ordinary bandits can get. Only some big families can have such things.
"This is the transport caravan of the Gilded Rose. I don't know which friend in front is joking with us."
The ninth-level titled wizard who led the caravan did not change his face. He stood on the edge of the floating airship and shouted to the opposite side.
But the floating warship slowly changed direction. On the deck, a wizard wearing a robe and a cold face suddenly waved his hand.
"Sink their airships, kill all the people and alchemy puppets."
Instantly, countless spells and magic arrows rushed out from the floating battleship and fell on the floating battleship. The floating battleship itself was only used for transportation, and the transportation capacity was large, so it could not be used for combat at all. In a few seconds, the huge airbags on the airship were torn apart. The floating magic array of the floating battleship itself could not bear the huge weight of the hull and the cargo in the cabin, and began to fall to the ground.
In less than a minute, the floating battleship fell into the forest below, the hull collapsed, and a large amount of cargo fell out, while the floating battleship in the air slowly fell down, and a large number of spells and magic arrows continued to fall, covering the surrounding hundreds of meters.
On the deck of the battleship, the cold-faced wizard sneered.
"Gilded Rose? A country bumpkin like Andalusia dares to compete with our Rodney family for interests. He really doesn't know how to live or die. A stupid bug pushes a dung ball and thinks he can touch the wealth of a dragon, idiot."
Looking at the torn airship, Tursrodney turned around and gave orders to the people behind him.
"Watch out, give orders, shoot down all the transport caravans of the Gilded Rose, I don't want to see anything from the Gilded Rose flow into the Odin Kingdom again.
Also, give orders, warn those stupid material suppliers, whoever dares to provide raw materials to the Gilded Rose is the enemy of our Rodney family!"
The Gilded Rose material transport caravan was attacked, and Farrow got the news at the first time, but the news that came was that there was no living person in the wreckage of the airship found.
All the transported materials were gone, and even all the alchemy puppets were torn into pieces. Some of the record crystals on the airship were also shattered. They didn't know who attacked the Gilded Rose caravan.
And seeing the wreckage of the battlefield, it was completely one-sided and suppressed. The other party must have sent out a floating battleship to kill the Gilded Rose's airship so easily.
Farrow frowned and used the relationship of Gilded Rose to find out the truth of the matter. Farrow always felt that this matter was not simple.
At this time, Lefort found Farrow.
"Mr. Farrow, I just got a message from several of my friends that the people who attacked the Gilded Rose material transport caravan were from the Rodney family.
And they have warned all material suppliers that whoever dares to provide raw materials to Gilded Rose is the enemy of the Rodney family."
Farrow's face was a little ugly. How could the Rodney family not know.
The Rodney family is very powerful in the Kingdom of Odin, much stronger than the Jackson family. The two are not at the same level at all.
The inheritance of the Rodney family is very long, which can be traced back to the early days of the Third Dynasty, and it has never declined. Even when the Third Dynasty collapsed, the Rodney family did not decline. Up to now, the Rodney family has always maintained the strength of the top forces in the Kingdom of Odin.
And most importantly, the source of the wealth of the Rodney family is not like other forces, relying on conquering the demiplane, but relying on alchemical items.
The main thing their family deals in is alchemy potions, from the lowest-level potions to potions that can be used by heavenly-level strongmen, they deal in everything.
Moreover, their family and the Starry Sky Academy are both partners. It is said that there is a sainted alchemist in the Rodney family. No one can be sure, but they are the place that alchemists taught by the Starry Sky Academy want to go the most, which is beyond doubt.
The north of the Odin Kingdom is the business scope of the Rodney family, and it is also the main business scope.
When the Gilded Rose was looking for partners in the Odin Kingdom, it also contacted the Rodney family, but it could not find any opportunities for cooperation.
The Rodney family was very domineering. The condition they offered at the beginning was that the Gilded Rose must be attached to the Rodney family and become a subsidiary force of the Rodney family.
How could Farrow agree to such a condition? Later, he began to look for other families to cooperate, but the partners were also powerful families like the Jackson family, most of which were middle-level families in the Odin Kingdom.
This time, the cooperation with the Starry Sky Academy was all because of Lin Yun. With the personal nod of Dean Gandalf, the Gilded Rose could develop so fast.
Now that he heard that the Rodney family was looking for trouble, Farrow was a little overwhelmed.
If the Gilded Rose had only opened a few stores in Neverwinter, the Rodney family might not care at all and would not bother to pay attention.
But the Gilded Rose rose too fast. Not only did it open 18 huge stores connected together in Neverwinter, but it also radiated outward with Neverwinter as the center, and once again prepared 38 branches at one time.
Moreover, the main product of the Gilded Rose is alchemy potion, which is not only of good quality, but also a little cheaper, which made the Rodney family unhappy.
Because the Gilded Rose encroached on their interests and robbed some of the Rodney family's market, and judging from the development trend of the Gilded Rose, it is likely to rob more and more markets.
When the Rodney family developed, it took Neverwinter as the starting point, and spread to the surrounding areas with Neverwinter, the largest city in the north of the Kingdom of Odin, as the center. Now, the Rodney family's alchemy business occupies the largest share in the north of the Kingdom of Odin.
Even though the competition in Odin Kingdom is very fierce, the share occupied by Rodney Family is not overwhelming, but it is enough for Rodney Family to be ranked first in the ranking of Odin Kingdom's forces.
At the beginning, the conquest of the Fury Plane was all done by the second-order forces of Odin Kingdom. The first-order forces either could not spare enough manpower or simply looked down on the benefits of the Fury Plane.
The Fury Plane is indeed a large plane with rich resources, but unfortunately there are too many people involved. For the first-order forces of Odin Kingdom, paying the same price to conquer a smaller plane alone will yield more than the gains in the Fury Plane.
Now that the Rodney Family is looking for trouble, Faro has a headache. He has long expected that he will definitely conflict with the Rodney Family in the future. After all, the Gilded Rose only deals in alchemical items and has no other business. If it wants to grow, it must continue to expand its business area.
After pondering for a while, Farrow sent someone to contact the Rodney family. After all, the other party is deeply rooted in the Odin Kingdom, especially in the north of the Odin Kingdom. The tentacles have penetrated half of the Odin Kingdom. If the Gilded Rose wants to do business peacefully, there is no way to bypass the Rodney family...
If everything is for profit, then there is something to talk about, or start a few projects to cooperate, and you will always find a place that everyone is satisfied with.
