Chapter 753: Obtaining the Duke and Entrusting the Nobility
"Phew! Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Let's take it easy and get promoted to the Grand Knight level!" Looking back, Zhou Xiaobo had no time to think about his next path.
But at this time, he can't relax immediately, because many freshmen from the Santa Cruz Empire have returned to the Holy Fire Knight Academy, and they are waiting for him to go back and hand in the task.
After learning the news through his flying dragon mount, Zhou Xiaobo didn't delay any longer, and immediately returned to the Holy Fire City as quickly as possible. He arrived that night, and in the early morning of the next day, he led everyone to hand in the task.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor of the Santa Cruz Empire personally rewarded him.
As everyone expected, the entire west of the Black Mountain Fortress is Zhou Xiaobo's fiefdom, and because of the large radiation range, even the Funiu Mountains in the northwest and the Greeter Plain where Morey's Castle is located are also among them. .
In fact, the Santa Cruz Empire and the Principality of Talidi don't care about the barren Glitter Plain at all. Not only is it relatively desolate, the harvest of crops is extremely low, but it is also close to the Funiu Mountains, and it will be attacked by wild animals and monsters from time to time. The ravages of ferocious beasts, poor luck, and even the possibility of monsters appearing, that is, the people living in Morey Castle and the surrounding castles are ordinary people, who are completely ignored by the monsters, otherwise, the other party may have already killed them. Here it is occupied.
Right now, it happened that Zhou Xiaobo was rewarded by the Santa Cruz Empire, and those areas became his territory. The Duchy of Talidi didn't have any objections. peace of mind.
And Zhou Xiaobo immediately began to discuss meritorious deeds and rewards. He became the Duke of the Santa Cruz Empire because of his achievements in pioneering. He had the power to entrust the nobles, so he chose the full entrustment at the first time, entrusting three in one breath. The marquis, and nine earls, in addition to twenty-seven viscounts and eighty-one barons, as for how these enfeoffed nobles under Zhou Xiaobo's command will continue to entrust their titles, that is not Zhou Xiaobo's business. You can use the enfeoffment nobles to manage your subordinates.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Xiaobo originally planned to allocate a marquis to use on the mage tower, but after considering it, he did not do so. In the final analysis, it was because he did not want to expose too much for the time being. Zhou Xiaobo didn't want people to know about the fact that the mage tower was completely acquired by him, and naturally there was no need to make an elf magician his marquis.
...
"let's start!"
After dealing with a series of trivial matters, Zhou Xiaobo was free to practice.
He intends to directly break through to the level of the great knight this time, and even raise his cultivation base to the peak of the great knight in one go. In that case, his basic attributes will also skyrocket. If he goes to the forest of death, he should not be afraid of provoking him. It's the twelfth-order super beast.
"Hmm! According to the way of knight training, referring to the materials I found in the library of the Holy Flame Knight Academy, there is a certain chance to create a black hole when you are promoted to the big realm again when you have a complete internal universe. , This black hole is the core of the inner universe, providing power for the entire inner universe to make it rotate, and then not only will the efficiency of absorbing energy from the outside world be greatly improved, but the speed of evolution will also increase a lot."
Zhou Xiaobo was thinking secretly, and did not promote immediately. Although he had already reached the peak of his cultivation at the knight stage, it was easy to be promoted. He only needed to practice steadily for a period of time, but the problem was that Zhou Xiaobo wanted to be promoted perfectly. .
According to the information he found in the library of the Holy Fire Knight Academy and the information collected from others,
It's nothing to be promoted to a great knight, but if you already have a complete internal universe, then when you break through the big realm again, you can send something into it and try to form a black hole in the internal universe.
Once it succeeds, there will be many benefits, among which Zhou Xiaobo's heart is most excited is that he may obtain the storage ability similar to the space storage equipment, and store the items from the outside world or the items in the universe in the body into the black hole. Then release it when needed—the items can only be taken out from the black hole, and cannot be sent to those "earths" in the inner universe.
And this is just one of the benefits, that is, it is more attractive to Zhou Xiaobo, but it is other benefits that are more important to Zhou Xiaobo, such as the higher efficiency of the universe in the body to absorb energy from the outside world. Category.
"If you want to form a black hole, you first need a lot of materials, and there are twelve starry sky in the universe in my body, do I need twelve black holes? If so, don't I need more materials! See Come on, it is necessary to go to the Forest of Death again."
Zhou Xiaobo plans to go not only to the Forest of Death, but also to the Forest of Forgotten Words and the Jilie Mountains. He has been to the Forest of Death once before, and he has gained a lot. Many of the supplies were sent to the former Mage Aphra by him. On the other side of the tower, because there are too many, they are directly piled up outside, but it is far away from the Aphra Mage Tower, and it is also in the Wangyu Forest. They are guarded by monster mounts, so there is no need to worry about being stolen.
At the same time, Zhou Xiaobo also left a large number of low-level and middle-level monster mounts in the Jilie Mountains and the Forest of Death, constantly collecting various resources.
Therefore, a large amount of supplies have been collected in the Wangyu Forest.
Later, Zhou Xiaobo even arranged for Steve Will, a magician, to lead some magicians in the Mage Tower to help build a batch of huge warehouses to store these materials. He planned to find opportunities to trade with other Mage Towers, or bring Go to the Santa Cruz Empire.
Now, Zhou Xiaobo still dare not let Steve Will conduct large-scale transactions with other mage towers. After advancing again and reaching the cultivation level of a magister, it can be regarded as a firm foothold. Even if a little more rare and valuable resources are traded out at that time, it should not easily attract others' covetousness.
However, after Zhou Xiaobo provided Steve Will with a large amount of energy supply, his cultivation base has also rapidly stabilized, and he is steadily improving towards the realm of a magister. I believe he will reach the realm of a magister in a short time.
But this time, after confirming that he needed a large amount of materials for his follow-up cultivation, Zhou Xiaobo thought of the materials stored in Wangyu Forest. The monsters were released and entered the Kilie Mountains and the Forest of Death to collect more supplies for him.
Sitting on the two natural treasure houses of the Jilie Mountains and the Forest of Death, Zhou Xiaobo felt that there would be no shortage of materials needed for his cultivation.
