Chapter 100 Two years of preparation and a new journey

Bathing in the sun, eating seafood, accompanying the shadows of coconut trees, lying on the beach with delicate sand under the sea breeze. Life on the beach by Sanya is always so leisurely. If you stay here for a few days, your fatigue and worries will disappear. The beautiful scenery and soothing rhythm of life will make you feel like you are in a beautiful holy place where you don’t have to think about anything.

In fact, Xu Yue feels like this now. Lying on the lounge chair on the beach by the beach, the parasol above his head covered the strong sunlight, blew the freehand sea breeze, took a sip of a refreshing drink, and looked at the beauties who were only wearing bikini figures on the beach, he let out a long breath, as if he was about to exhale all the fatigue on his body.

He picked up the phone on the round table next to him and looked at it. He found that it was almost lunch time. He sat up from the beach lounge chair. Because he had swam in the sea for a while, he was now wearing only one swimming trunk. He was too lazy to change his clothes. He stepped on the slippers beside the lounge chair and came to the Lamborghini limited edition sports car that he placed not far away on the road, and opened the car door and sat in.

In the envious and jealous eyes of the men who have been taking photos around this sports car and the fanatical eyes of women, Xu Yue directly started the car and drove towards the distance. Just over a dozen minutes later, a luxurious large seaside villa appeared in front of him. The exquisite landscape in the 800 square meters of yard and the swimming pool that can be seen at a glance make people feel the luxury of this villa. The luxurious villa with a tropical seaside style makes people feel that just looking is an ultimate enjoyment.

When the car drove to the yard gate of the villa, the device on the yard gate was identified and opened automatically. He parked the car in the garage. Xu Yue walked towards the house in swimming trunks and slippers. The door of the villa opened, and a servant walked over quickly, handed over a thin nightgown and said, "Sir! You are easily burned by the sunlight like this. I have told you many times."

Looking at the maid who spent a lot of money to hire from the Philippines, Xu Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, Cruz, this little sunshine is nothing to me. Haven't you seen the sun and not even my skin is tanned?"

Cruz looked helplessly at his skin that had not turned dark even after being sunburned for two months. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I really don't know how your skin grows. If someone else's exposure to the sun for so long, even if you don't get sunburned, you will at least get darker, but you haven't changed at all."

Xu Yue smiled and thought to herself: "If you can get sunburned by using a high-temperature protective barrier on your body, then it would be too embarrassing for me as a magician."

After simply putting his nightgown on his body, he walked into the villa and said, "Cruz, is lunch ready? I blew the sea breeze by the sea for two hours. I didn't eat anything except some drinks that morning, and now I'm almost starving to death."

"The chef has prepared the meal. As you told me, I did not make abalone again this time, but replaced it with a large lobster. In addition, the top caviar you ordered has been delivered by air and you can taste it in a while." The maid followed behind and said.

"Not bad. Although abalone is delicious, anyone will get tired of it after eating it for a week." Xu Yue said after walking into the restaurant and sat down at the dining table.

In just a while, all kinds of exquisite meals were constantly being served. Whether in terms of color, fragrance or taste, it made people feel saliva was accelerating. He did not eat very politely like those rich people who were aristocratic, but started to eat staple food like eating home-cooked dishes at his own home. The dining style that looked a bit voracious compared to the aristocratic dining style made Cruz, who was serving next to him, shook his head helplessly. Speaking of which, her employer is good at everything. He just doesn't look like a rich upper class person in his usual eating and dressing habits.

After squeezing Hu Hai for a long time, Xu Yue patted her slightly bulging belly, drank a glass of iced coconut milk and said, "Cruz, I'm leaving for a while this time, and I'll entrust you to the villa. Over the past year, I've been very satisfied with your job, so your salary has increased by 30%. I hope everything can continue."

Maid Cruz said with a smile while tidying up the dining table: "Thank you for your generosity, I will try my best to take care of everything here. But how long will you be away this time? Do I need me to prepare for what to wait for you to come back?"

"No! Nothing needs to be changed, everything will be the same. I will leave for about three months this time. If I don't come back then, I will give you a message." Xu Yue wiped his mouth and stood up and said.

"Everything will go according to your will." Cruz said respectfully.

After nodding with satisfaction, Xu Yue returned to his room alone. After locking the door from inside, he lay on the luxurious big bed in the room, took out a magic book from the storage ring he was carrying in his hand and started reading it.

More than two years have passed since the war between the trolls and Black Rock City in Tarenmia continent. The final result of that war ended with the result of the loss of both of the three level nine-level powerful men from the Kingdom of Trolls Sairur and the Kingdom of Shia. The aftermath of the battle between the two sides not only destroyed the underground palace under Yege Forest, but also turned hundreds of thousands of trolls and a small number of unsaved humans under the underground palace into ashes.

The seriously injured Sairul gathered the trolls who retreated from Black Rock City and the trolls who were still besieging the other two human cities at that time, crossed the entire Yege Forest and retreated to the barren plateau in the north. Not only was the land barren there, but even the vegetation and wild animals were very scarce. Except for some exiled prisoners and goblins and ogres, there were almost no people.

But the trolls had to do so. After Seruel was seriously injured, the Kingdom of Shia directly mobilized heavy troops to pursue the trolls, and stopped after completely driving the trolls out of their country's territory. It was not that they stopped chasing, but that their old rival, the Kingdom of Groney, took action.

At the junction of the two countries, the Kingdom of Groni mobilized fifteen corpses from its west, with a total of 700,000 people attacking the eastern front of the Kingdom of Shia, which forced the Kingdom of Shia to urgently adjust its strategy against the trolls and transfer most of the troops pursuing the trolls back to the east for defense. In this way, the remaining trolls finally escaped.

For this reason, the Kingdom of Shia directly accused the Kingdom of Groni of betraying the capital of humanity, colluding with the trolls, and selling the interests of the entire human race. However, the Kingdom of Groni firmly denied this, saying that its actions only involved unilateral grudges with the Kingdom of Shia. Both sides argued with each other for a while, but the war did not start, and the matter about the trolls was left unresolved. Sometimes things between countries are like this. They are always spent in constant disputes and disputes.

The legendary powerful man, Sailur, suffered a great decline in strength because he had injured his original source in the previous battle. Even according to the news from the senior management of the Kingdom of Shia, the other party might not even be able to maintain the legendary level's strength and fell to level 9. Many people expressed doubts about this news. After all, it is a bit unimaginable that three level nine strong men forced a legendary powerful man to this point. However, seeing that Sailur did not appear in the most crisis situation of the troll clan, many people believed in this news.

Although the troll's conspiracy was defeated this time, the news that Serule, the most brilliant Chuangqi powerhouse in the ancient troll empire, stirred up the trolls on the Tarenmiya continent. The trolls who resurrected Serule and attacked the Kingdom of Shia were only dozens of tribes of all sizes in the Kingdom of Dongdalushia. When the news of Serule spread, many troll tribes in the places began to secretly move towards the desolate highlands. These tribes intend to follow Serule's legendary king, the troll's legendary king, to rebuild the troll's own kingdom and restore the glory of the ancient Aleka Empire.

The remaining trolls were indifferent to the news, and even many troll tribes near the desolate land migrated to faraway places. The troll tribes on the entire continent were divided into three types, one was to chase whom Sairur and rebuild the glory of Aleka. The other was to regard Sairur as a rebel. The demon who betrayed the interests of the troll clan and was the culprit of the destruction of the Aleka Empire. This seemed to be because Sairur had sold the beliefs of the trolls to evil gods in history. The last one was that when Sairur did not exist at all, the trolls on this side felt that after tens of thousands of years, the current troll tribe had no connection with the ancient Aleka Empire. Many troll tribes had their own unique living habits, so they did not agree with any changes.

In general, the number of people in the first type accounts for 40% of the troll tribe, while the trolls with the latter two attitudes account for 30% each. All races on the Tarenmiya continent, including the seven human countries, have their own opinions on this. However, because the legendary strong man Serule is almost the same as being destroyed, and it is not supported by the powerful foundation of the ancient Aleka Empire. No one thinks that the trolls can cause any substantial threat, so most of the time the debate about trolls is still spent in dispute.

Regardless of the reactions of the various forces on the Tarenmia continent, the Kalando Province of the Kingdom of Chia was severely damaged in that battle. The population of about 200,000 in Red Maple City was sacrificed by blood, and the number of soldiers died in the four cities in the war was even more than that. It can be said that the army of the Kingdom of Chia was reduced by almost half. Although it was not as good as the level of injury, it was still a considerable loss for a kingdom like the Kingdom of Chia, which had less than a hundred years of establishment and was not very strong.

On the contrary, Xu Yue became the only winner in this war. But few people knew this. After the war, because Xu Yue discovered the troll's conspiracy and reported it, and he used positioning gems to mark the location of the underground palace, he made great contributions to weakening his strength before Seruel escaped. Therefore, the Kingdom of Shia also gave him several choices generously.

The first choice was to transform his honorary Viscount into a true Viscount's title. The fief is a city in the west of the Kingdom of Shia. To be honest, this city is not too small, and it is almost as good as a medium-sized city in the Kingdom of Shia. However, because it is located in the area at the junction of the Orc Kingdom, war broke out in the market. Although the surrounding minerals and other materials are not poor and taxes are considered acceptable, Xu Yue immediately chose this choice.

Because that city often had wars with the orc kingdom, there were many garrisons there. The top military leaders had actually controlled the city for many years. Moreover, due to military reasons, many aspects of the city were actually controlled by the army. Even if he really got there, he could only be a lord who was indifferent. The actual control of the territory was almost not in his hands except for taxes. He really couldn't see the taxes of a border city, and he didn't have as much as he had sold pure containers.

The second choice is to upgrade his honorary viscount's title to two levels in a row to reach the level of honorary marquis. Although the honorary title only enjoys some special rights and does not have the actual title of fief, anything that reaches a high level cannot be overlooked.

The titles of the Kingdom of Shia have always been very strict. If honorary titles below viscount are still granted from time to time, then the earls and marquis above are rarely seen. Once the title of the earl is reached, even if there is no honorary title with actual fiefdom, soldiers and personnel from the real titles of the real titles of two levels lower than oneself can be temporarily mobilized when necessary. Even to a certain extent, if the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real titles of the real title

Once Xu Yue chooses to promote the honorary title, he can immediately become the only honorary marquis in the empire in the past 30 years. In terms of real power, he can even be comparable to a real viscount with a relatively strong fiefdom, and on the surface he is even more above the real viscount. If a real viscount dares to offend him in person, then as long as he has evidence, he can even let the senior officials of the empire punish this real viscount. This is also why the honorary title of the Kingdom of Shia is so difficult to be granted.

As for the actual titles of the Count level or above, they have never given them to anyone since the founding of the Kingdom of Shia. The existing real titles of the Kingdom of Shia are basically the founding kings of the Kingdom of Shia. They have participated in the founding war and were awarded titles and fiefs with real merits. Only then the two or three nobles of the real titles of the Count changed from honorary counts after the founding war. However, these nobles of the earl titles were almost able to open up and defend their territory with the continuous efforts of several generations. The foundation of most of the families is much worse than that of the titles of the Count in the founding war. After all, if you want to rely on your own power to open up new territory and manage them well, the manpower and material resources you have put in is too great.

The Kingdom of Shia also gave the choice of reward items and reward money, but those were directly ignored by Xu Yue. For him who could sell pure containers in large quantities without cost, he could easily obtain those money and items, and what he lacked the most now is power. With his own power, he could be confident and bold in selling pure containers in large quantities. No need to worry about being jealous of other forces, because he was confident that he would develop his power to the point of not being afraid of others' peeping in a short period of time.

He had almost no thoughts, and in fact he had no other choice. He directly chose to upgrade his honorary title by two levels. So he was the only nobleman in the past thirty years since he founded the Kingdom of Shia to win the title of marquis. In terms of identity alone, his status was even higher than that of the city lord Ethan of Black Rock City, and was only lower than that of the imperial royal family and a few nobles with a limited number of dukes.

Another reason why he chose this is that when an honorary marquis opened up his fief, the area of ​​his fiefdom was not only too large, but even as large as half a province. In addition, the number of troops that could be formed during the development was also too many than an honorary marquis. He could form an army of 50,000 people to expand the territory, and after actually occupying the territory, the army could be expanded to 100,000. This alone allowed him to safely and boldly form his own strength.

Although he had to pay the materials and money for forming an army and maintaining the army by himself, which would be an astronomical figure, Xu Yue was still very happy. At most, private forces and armed forces could only form no more than 2,000 armed forces, and they would be strictly restricted. At this point, it was not a problem for him at all. Even if there was not so much money to complete the 50,000 army in a while, as long as an army of tens of thousands of people could be formed, few forces would dare to blatantly make him think.

The rapid increase in title made Xu Yue's reputation spread rapidly in the noble circle of the Kingdom of Shia. All the nobles were secretly paying attention to this new noble who rose like a comet. However, so far, the nobles were still in a wait-and-see state of viewing him and did not really accept him completely. This is because he rose too fast, lacked foundation and was just a second-level magician, and he was not taken seriously by those old nobles in terms of power or strength. Only after he proved his strength would he be truly accepted by these nobles.

Xu Yue did not take the aristocratic class's wait-and-seeness. The main purpose of obtaining this title was that he wanted to expand his strength. With the strength of the aristocratic class, he would naturally accept him, and there was no contradiction between the two. The reason why he was so confident to develop his strength was not only because his business of pure containers could bring him a lot of money, but also because he risked his life to rob the trolls' magic material warehouses before that he brought him beyond imagination.

Just as they told Aiwo after robbing the troll's magic material warehouse at that time, they made a fortune. And they made a fortune. Although the trolls were destined to be poor because of the lifestyle of the forest natives, the trolls that gathered were only part of the troll tribe in the East Continent. However, the collections of so many tribal troll tribes gathered together, and the trolls themselves were easier to collect magic materials because they lived in the forest. Therefore, Xu Yue, who had already eaten the most advanced part of the magic material warehouse and seized the most advanced part of the materials, was stunned by the huge profit after briefly counting the harvest with Aiwo.

Although the price of a pure container is very high, as a container, its value can never be as good as what it carries. The value of magic materials of the same level is at least dozens of times that of containers of the same level. It is not uncommon for a higher point or even hundreds of times the price of a pure container.

After a simple classification, Xu Yue even had to rent books such as basic magic materials to compare one by one at the Magic Guild. In the end, the approximate value of the magic materials counted reached an astonishing 50 million gold coins.

The purchasing ability of gold coins in Tarenmiya is not low, but Tarenmiya's population base is dozens of times wider than the total area of ​​the earth. The number of gold coins flowing in society is an extremely exaggerated number. Therefore, the gold coins required for the price of high-end treasures on some continents are often astonishingly large, and magical materials and equipment belong to this class.

For the Tarenmiya continent, one piece of magic equipment from level one to third level is almost the same as the value of heavy weapons such as Earth missiles. Magic equipment from level four to six is ​​almost the same as the preciousness of advanced fighters on Earth. Magic items above level seven are already equivalent to nuclear weapons on Earth, aircraft carriers and other things on Earth, and they will even be more valuable than these things, and will not be less valuable than these things.

But even Tarenmiya, the value of 50 million gold coins is a number that can make any major force jealous. Perhaps all the reserves of Black Rock City, a top four major cities in a province, will be almost the same number. This is far beyond Xu Yue's previous expectations. In his previous estimate, these materials can burn incense if they have 10 million.

After discussing with Aivo for a long time, they decided to sell most of these magic materials through various channels. On the one hand, they did not have funds, and the main reason was that most of the magic materials were stored in pure containers, but still had a shelf life. If they were not used for a certain period of time, even if they were loaded with pure containers, they would become waste.

The two decided to sell materials worth about 40 million gold coins through the "Gogun Chamber of Commerce", Magic Guild and Elf. For many Gogun Chambers who are very active in business, even such a large amount of transactions can only be considered a business with a considerable scale, which is a little less than those with national forces.

Because of the wealth and wealth of the Magic Guild, its loose organization and internal protection measures for magicians, Xu Yue did not have to worry about being targeted by the guild. The amount of this transaction is indeed huge. But for the Magic Guild, it is really nothing. As for whether the Magic Guild would guess the source of these magic materials, Xu Yue was not worried at all. These things were taken from the trolls on their own city and did not belong to any human force, so they would not get into any trouble.

As for the elves, they are also big customers who are not short of money. Although the elves also live in the forest, there is no shortage of plant-based magic materials. However, due to its concept of protecting forests, some mineral magic materials are very scarce. Trolls will not mind destroying the number of deep forests to mine some magic minerals.

Xu Yue gave the matter of leaving the materials completely to Aiwo. With the guarantee of the contract, the two were business partners who could completely trust each other. Because the elves were fighting with the orcs, they were generous and generous. All the materials sold for more than 45 million, and Xu Yue gave more than 10 million of them to Aiwo. This was because when he got the "Fourth of Life" that could extend his life from the elves, Xu Yue occupied three quarters alone, and then the branches of the tree of life were also owned by Xu Yue.

Brothers also have to settle the accounts clearly. Although there is not much to convert the pure container from the elves to the "Fourth of Life" into gold coins, it is stuck at the time when the elves urgently need pure containers. In fact, if the gold coins are used to measure the value of the "Fourth of Life" and the branches of the tree tree, it is difficult to measure its real value, because it is impossible to buy it with money alone. In addition, Aivo relies on his own commission to sell materials, 10 million gold coins are really not too much. Xu Yue also considered the relationship between the two partners here.

After owning another huge amount of 35 million gold coins, Xu Yue did not rush to form an army to explore his own territory, but lurked down, and on the one hand, he developed the Chamber of Commerce with Aivo. On the other hand, he secretly expanded the number and scale of the guard team. Not only did they continue to buy slaves above level three to fill the guard team, but they also spent a lot of money to buy a large number of professionals from level six to serve as the leadership of the guard team.

However, among the slaves I bought later, except for the accidents of the senior management of the Level 6, no one enjoyed the treatment of being a slave after ten years. Only the Level 6 masters and the 200 members of the previous guard team were able to enjoy various benefits while regaining their status as a free citizen when the time limit came. However, the later members could also enjoy various benefits and benefit their families, which gave them enough motivation to protect the interests of Xu Yue and Aiwo.

Correspondingly, a large amount of gold coins were also constantly investing in the construction of the guard team. If Xu Yue had not robbed the troll's warehouse, the development of the guard team would have been delayed by at least four or five years, rather than becoming a terrible team with a population of about 10,000 and strong cohesion in just two years.

Xu Yue has not been idle for the past two years. He used all his time to learn all kinds of magic knowledge he had lost before, and learned day and night for two years. He finally supplemented what he had lost before. Now, whether in terms of knowledge or spells he knew, he was no longer the human-shaped turret that could only throw fireballs two years ago. In the past two years, even if he did not deliberately meditate, his mental power has reached the peak of level 2 and can be promoted to the level of a third-level mage at any time.

After feeling that he was about to be unable to suppress his mental breakthrough, Xu Yue finally let go of everything and returned to the earth to give himself a big vacation. He spent two months relaxing his mind and adjusting his state. The psychological pressure and tension brought by two years of intense study were completely released and recovered.

On the earth, relying on constantly changing gold and using foreign gold mines to cleanse it up, his assets also saw a leap forward. More than one billion funds allowed him to shrink his hands and feet without spending money. Because he didn't want to attract too much attention, he almost spent all his money on enjoying life, and did not run large enterprises or companies, luxury sports cars, large villas, luxury food, etc. Although it cost a lot in these aspects, only those close to him knew about it, while outsiders were not sure about the specific number of assets he was in.

Because he had dreamed of living on the clear seaside since he was a child, he specially bought a luxurious villa in Sanya. In the past, when he was too tired to learn magic, he would come here to rest for a day or two. For example, this time, he had two months off for the first time.

Today, he felt that his condition had been adjusted to his best. So he decided to return to Tarenmiya to upgrade to his magic level. At the same time, the territory development plan that he had planned for more than two years was officially implemented.
