Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy Fourth Snatch
"When did this happen?" David asked Butler Jason.
"For about half a month, I will go to the mining area every two weeks to check. If you don't come back, I will go to the mining area again tomorrow!" Butler Jason bowed and replied.
David sat back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table, thinking in his mind.
On the Bama Star side, the only thing he pays attention to is Qinya Manor, because that is the origin of the 'Heart-warming Lotus'.
However, as long as the nobles with normal minds, will not provoke Qinya Manor, because that will anger the Main family.
Lord Gould showed the importance he attached to Qinya Manor in the aristocratic circle because after David sent out the 'Heart-warming Lotus Seed Soup', he found that it contained energy that was useful to the fifth-level Templar Knights.
Even all previous orders for 'warm heart lotus seed soup' were rejected for David.
Now other nobles want to get the 'Heart-warming Lotus Seed Soup', they have to get it from Lord Gould through the Main family.
This is also Lord Gould's attempt to protect David. You must know that this kind of 'heart-warming lotus seed soup', which can be useful to the fifth-level Templar knights, will be obtained through various means if known by other lords. , is likely to lead to disaster.
Lord Gould's behavior also placed Qinya Manor under the protection of the Maine family. Any action against Qinya Manor would be a provocation to the Maine family.
Another industry that has attracted David's attention is the Black Rock Mine of Boyuexing. The Black Rock Mine is a kryptonite mine. Although the output is not high, David left a 'pregnancy' there.
That's why I had such a reaction when I heard Butler Jason say someone was spying on the mining area.
Although it is an external mining area, it has not been found in the Heiyan mining area, but who knows if anyone has explored the black rock mining area.
You must know that David did not leave any combat power in the Black Rock mining area, only 200 native miners and stewards.
In the mining area of Boyo Star, a group of knights are advancing towards the mining area in a harsh environment. They have entered the mining area of a Zijin mine, which is also the only way to enter the Heiyan mining area.
The six knights are equipped with second-grade knight armor, which shields the harmful gases in the air, allowing them to act without any scruples.
There are no markings on their tier 2 knight armor.
"Leaving nothing alive,
Can't let that person find us! "Captain Knight looked at the figure in the mining area ahead, and said to his subordinates in a deep voice.
His subordinates naturally know whose property is here, and once a murder occurs here, the consequences will be extremely severe.
The legend about Duke Arthur is very widely circulated in the noble circle, and even these knights often hear it.
But this time they had to come, because they were hired, and they couldn't afford to provoke the people who hired them, and they didn't dare to disobey the order.
Fortunately, the task of the six knights is also simple, enter the black rock mining area, find a special glowing stone and bring it back.
In order not to be found by Duke Arthur, the six knights decided not to stay alive along the way, and even in order to sneak in, they did not reach Star Boyo through the planet-level portal, but borrowed the person who hired them. temporary portal.
"Attack!" the knight captain shouted.
Then the six knights summoned the war horses in unison, mounted the war horses with heavy swords in hand, and rushed forward.
The six knights are all earth knights. With their force, let alone these miners without any combat power, even ordinary low-level noble castles cannot stop their attacks.
The native miners screamed. They couldn't even escape. The knight's horses were too fast to leave them any chance.
"I'm from the Boyo Mining Alliance, this is Duke Arthur's property, please don't kill me!" The steward with the alchemy respirator raised his hand and shouted.
The steward hoped that the fame of the Boyue Mining Alliance and Duke Arthur would deter the knights, but obviously his shouting had no effect.
The horse of an earth knight rushed over his body, and the epee in his hand swept his neck. The earth knight did not pay any attention to him, and continued towards the rest of the miners.
In just thirty seconds, everyone in this Zijin mining area died.
"Check all of them, don't leave alive!" The Knight Captain waved and ordered.
The earth knights checked the mines and the miners' residences and confirmed that there were no openings before heading towards the Black Rock Mine.
Before arriving at the Black Rock Mine, Captain Knight stopped his warhorse and jumped off the warhorse.
The knight captain observed the boundary of the Black Rock Mine. In his hand, an alchemy item was shining, indicating that there was an alchemy defense here.
He took out a magic talisman from the space bag, which was a valuable world-breaking magic talisman. It was a very special magic talisman and should not appear in the hands of the Earth Knight at all.
The captain of the knight activated the magic talisman of breaking the world, and a white light rushed forward, and the defensive shield defending the Black Rock mining area appeared, but this white light cut a small door in the defensive shield for people to enter and exit.
"You must leave within five minutes of entering!" The Knight Captain turned his head and instructed his companions.
Under the wave of the knight captain, the knights put away their horses and filed in through the small gate on the defensive shield.
The six earth knights advanced 500 meters, and a strong krypton crystal energy could be felt around them.
The knight captain was holding an alchemy item, and there was a light spot on the alchemy item indicating that his special glowing stone was ahead.
"Captain, look there!" An earth knight turned his head and said in an unbelievable voice.
The knight captain looked up and saw more than ten mechanical puppets cleaning the ground.
The mechanical puppets are not surprised, but they are surprised to see the mechanical puppets working here. You must know that this is a krypton crystal mining area. Under the influence of the krypton crystal energy, the mechanical puppets cannot move freely at all.
You must know that in kryptonite energy, the puppet wisdom core cannot operate.
Everyone in the great world of the gods knows that kryptonite can only be mined by hand, and puppets cannot be used.
But what happened in front of them told them that it seemed that Duke Arthur had found a way to make the mechanical puppet work normally in the kryptonite mine.
"Don't worry about these puppets, find that glowing stone, and we'll leave immediately!" said the Knight Captain in a deep voice.
The six earth knights mounted the war horses and formed a knight battle formation. The knight captain led the way according to the alchemy items in his hand and rushed towards the light spot.
There is no one else here, and there is no danger, all they have to do is complete the task as quickly as possible.
Just as soon as the six earth knights approached, all nineteen robots issued a harsh alarm sound. At the same time, the robot in the underground space put the 'pregnancy spar' into the small object transmission array, and in a white light, the 'pregnancy' was born. The spar' disappeared.
Then the robot crushed a two-way pattern. As soon as the two-way pattern was broken, David, who was in the villa in the main city of Bama, felt a two-way pattern in the space pendant shatter.
"Butler Jason, find a way to investigate who is targeting our store, I have something to do!" David's face changed slightly, and he commanded in a deep voice.
Originally, he would not have asked about the business, but it was too coincidental. At the same time, someone targeted his property, and something happened in the Heiyan mining area on the other side.
Combined with what the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin said before, there are nobles who are about to suppress him, and he feels that he is in some kind of vortex.
The five fourth-level sky knights summoned the flying mount, and David also flew up. Although he did not have a flying mount, there was no problem with the five fourth-level sky knights taking him to speed up the flight.
The breath of the six fourth-level sky knights rose over the main city of Bama, causing the two fourth-level law enforcement sky knights in the law enforcement team who were on duty to panic, and hurriedly flew over here, seeing David. .
The two fourth-level law enforcement sky knights stopped their flying mounts in the air, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
They saw Duke Arthur who was flying with his five fourth-level sky knights. Although Duke Arthur did not have a flying mount, they would not perceive the aura of the fourth-level sky knight.
The two fourth-level law enforcement sky knights glanced at each other, and then took out the contact circle and reported it.
David doesn't care if he is known as a fourth-level sky knight, and he doesn't want to hide the fact that he has reached a fourth-level sky knight. The stronger the strength, the stronger his potential, which will make friends pay more attention to him, and also Let his enemies think twice before dealing with him.
The five fourth-level sky knights rode the flying mounts very fast, and it took only a short time to reach the planet-level portal.
"Boyo Star!" David reached the planet-level portal and immediately said to the teleportation staff.
The teleportation staff did not hesitate, and immediately opened the portal for David.
At this time, the star-level portal was at its busiest, and many nobles were waiting to pass, but none of the nobles said anything, and when they looked at David, they deliberately showed goodwill.
Not to mention that these nobles have seen David, it is just six fourth-level sky knights acting together, and they are not the ones who dare to intervene.
Although David has the behavior of jumping in line, as a duke, David still has this privilege.
David nodded his thanks to the teleportation staff, and then five sky knights rode him into the teleportation gate with flying mounts.
At the planet-level portal of Boyo Star, David and five fourth-level sky knights flew out, and the momentum of the sky was rising, indicating his mood at this time.
The fragmentation of the two-way pattern shows that the 'pregnite' has been transferred away, but it also shows that the cultivation plan in the Heiyan mining area has failed for such a long time. The energy of crystal growth is also dissipated.
How can David not be angry that such a long time effort has been ruined.
"Why did Duke Arthur come so quickly, should we block him?" August 5th Templar asked Job 5th Templar next to him.
They all used energy clones to hide in an ordinary noble carriage.
This action against the Heiyan mining area was promoted by the alliance of forces, and they did not want to act directly like this.
The alliance of powers first wanted to attack Duke Arthur through commercial behavior, but when they investigated Duke Arthur's property, they found that there was very little property belonging to Earl Arthur.
In addition to the ten plantations and one winery of the Luce family on Dasheng Star, there are some commercial industries in the main city of Bama Star, and the mining area of Boyo Star.
These are really too shabby for a duke. It is estimated that the output of these industries is not enough to maintain the duke's daily life.
Ten plantations and one winery cannot be targeted in a short period of time. At most, after the harvest, the production of the plantation and the winery can be prevented from being purchased by the relationship, which can only be carried out after the autumn harvest.
Qinya Manor in Bama Star, after inquiring, they didn't dare to act at all. It was equivalent to directly becoming an enemy of the Maine family. At least all the members of the alliance of forces, even the hired knights, did not dare to take such a task.
The four shops in the main city of Bama are also the only places where Duke Arthur can be attacked.
Of course, the alliance of forces will not let go of the Boyo Star's mining area, but among the knights sent to explore, there is a knight who returned from Battle Star, and he has a sense of 'pregnancy' brought back from Battle Star. Alchemy items react.
This news immediately got the attention of the alliance of powers, and the whole incident changed from suppressing Duke Arthur to robbing the ‘gestational stone’.
In order to snatch the 'pregnancy stone', the alliance of power not only sent a knight team composed of six earth knights, but also two of the four fifth-level Templars of the alliance of power came to the energy of two fifth-level Templars. The clone was ready to respond, and immediately put away the 'pregnancy spar' that was grabbed.
The knight team formed by the earth knights is not a member of the power alliance. Even if the knight team has an accident, the power alliance cannot be traced.
To be honest, even the fifth-level Templars are careful with Duke Arthur, and don't want to directly tear their faces with Duke Arthur.
Duke Arthur is not without power, whether it is the Main family or the dozens of fifth-level Templar knights he has helped and owes him favors, all of them are his backing.
Therefore, the alliance of forces did not take action on their own, but used the hired knights to snatch the ‘pregnant spar’.
"Are you going to turn against Duke Arthur now and let him know that we did it? Or are we going to kill him now?" Job's fifth-level Templar shook his head and said.
The two fifth-level Templars have their own families, and unless they have to, they will not attack a duke in the city.
Besides, the two fifth-level Templars also saw that David's strength had reached the fourth-level sky knight, and with the five fourth-level sky knights nearby, they came with energy clones and wanted to quickly It may be difficult to solve David.
You must know that David and the five fourth-level sky knights are flying very casually, and they also maintain the formation of the knight battle formation.
