Chapter 15 Undercurrent surging
Jinyan Province, Shining City.
As the central city of the barony, Glitter City is actually more prosperous than many central cities of the viscounty..
Among the seven baronies in the Golden Rock Province, the Arnest Family’s Shining Baronies deserve to be ranked first..
Whether it is territory area or economic strength, it is not much inferior to the viscounty territory..
It's a pity that this also attracted the covetousness of big shots, making the position of baron easy for him to grasp..
inner castle, bedroom.
After getting dressed under the service of the young and beautiful maid, Erwin Arnest then came to the restaurant. As soon as he sat down and took a sip of warm milk, he saw the secretary hurried in..
“Lord." The secretary bowed and saluted..
“I have a few things to report to the adults..”
“explain.”
Owen spoke concisely and to the point, and did not stop making elegant eating movements with his hands..
Since he 'inherited' the position of baron, he has paid more attention to the noble manners in daily life and strived to integrate into the circle of noble lords..
With his efforts, and more importantly with the support of Marquis Jinyan, many noble lords have shown goodwill to him..
As time goes by, his position in the circle of noble lords will only become more and more stable..
And when everything settles down, it’s time to free up your hands to completely solve your worries..
“Lord Zolf sent someone to deliver a letter, making it clear that he would participate in this year's harvest celebration in Glitter City," the secretary said..
Hearing this, Owen paused slightly, and a knowing smile appeared on his fat face..
“It seems that Zolf finally understands the situation. Very good. What do Norwood and Devin say?？”
“They haven't agreed yet, but they haven't explicitly refused either. Most of them are still waiting and watching..”
A trace of contempt flashed in Owen's eyes: "Wait and see. Huh, do they think those two little guys can return to Glitter City? Ridiculous idea.”
The secretary smiled flatteringly and said: "What your Lord is saying is that sooner or later the two lords will realize that you are the true master of the Shining Collar.！”
‘The true master of the flash collar’.
This title made Owen's expression calm down a little, and he felt much better..
“Speaking of which, what are my two nephews doing recently?？”
The secretary hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that they plan to restart the black stone mining area..”
“Blackstone mining area? Owen was slightly startled..
He had heard about what happened in Black Rock City back then, and naturally knew about the situation in the Black Rock Mining Area, so he couldn't help but show a puzzled expression..
“They have a way to deal with the monsters in the mine？”
“I'm not sure about this either." The secretary glanced at Owen and carefully explained, "Blackstone City has blocked the mining area, and my people cannot detect the specific conditions there..”
Seeing Owen frowning, he quickly said: "Don't worry, sir, if the black stone mining area is really restarted over there, my people will definitely get the news..”
When Owen thought about it, he stopped holding on to this matter and asked instead: "Is there anything else?？”
The secretary hurriedly said: "One more thing. Just yesterday, Lord Storm was attacked by the Spark Cult while he was out hunting. He was seriously injured. The Storm Territory is now in chaos..”
when！
The crisp sound of the knife and fork touching the porcelain plate sounded.
After hearing the news, Owen suddenly lost his elegant demeanor. He put down his knife and fork and stood up. He asked with a solemn expression: "Severe injuries? How many injuries?"？”
The secretary hesitated and said: "I have been in a coma for a day and a night, and I still haven't woken up yet..”
Owen's face changed slightly.
From this point of view, the situation of Earl Storm is not optimistic..
Owen sat back in his chair, his expression changing..
He doesn't care about the life or death of Lord Storm, he cares more about the subsequent impact of this incident..
The Earl of Stormwind is one of the two most powerful earls in the Golden Rock Province after the Marquis of Golden Rock..Unlike Earl Winterfrost, who has a close relationship with Marquis Golden Rock, Earl Storm has never been close to the former, and can even be said to be a little indifferent..
For the Marquis of Gold Rock, who is trying to control the entire Gold Rock Province, the presence of Earl Storm is quite an eyesore..
Others may not know it, but Owen knows that the relationship between Marquis Jinyan and the Spark Cult is not simple..
When he was able to win the position of Flash Baron, the Spark Cult was also behind it..
Behind the attack on Lord Storm, there may be the shadow of Marquis Jinyan.
After a long silence, Owen said: "Continue to pay attention to the situation in the Storm Territory. Any information must be reported to me as soon as possible. In addition, let Farid take people to the edge of Norwood and Devon's territory to suppress them. In the name of bandit.”
The Jinyan Province is becoming increasingly unstable, and Irving no longer intends to wait any longer..
He needs to completely control the Flash Collar as soon as possible.
If Norwood and Devin still don't know each other, don't blame him for using other methods.！
Time flies and it’s the month of recovery (March).）.
More than ten days have passed since Ange MacLean's laboratory was discovered.
Key sold the black stone iron in the warehouse through a secret channel and got nearly 7,000 gold coins..
In addition to leaving part to purchase military equipment and improve the condition of the territory, he invested the rest in the reconstruction of the Blackstone Mining Area..
Everything is developing in an orderly manner.
Sunan doesn't care about these things.
After returning to Black Rock City, he devoted himself to study and cultivation as always, paying little attention to outside things..
After reading the books brought back from the laboratory, Sunan successfully triggered the learning progress of [Puppet Refining].
Compared with biological modification and potion production, puppet refining involves a wider range and has a higher threshold..
This skill not only includes the knowledge of enchantment, but also covers some areas of biological modification and magic item creation..
Therefore, the learning progress of puppet refining skills increases more slowly..
Even with the bonus of the secondary active potion, after more than ten days, the learning progress has only advanced to just over 10%..
Sunan probably has to wait until the Moon of Flowing Fire (July) to fully master the puppet refining skills..
On the contrary, my meditation practice went very smoothly..
After returning from the Black Stone Mining Area, Sunan used a synthetic Rubik's Cube to fuse three pieces of Spirit-encrypting Grass that day..
【Star Pattern Yunling Grass, purity 15.33%, can greatly increase mental power after swallowing. The specific effect depends on the mental power of the user. The higher the mental power, the weaker the effect. It will be invalid if the mental power reaches 20 or above (inclusive)..】
Not surprisingly, the effect of the Star Pattern Soul-Absorbing Grass synthesized with the Synthetic Rubik's Cube is even stronger than the three simple pieces of Soul-Absorbing Grass combined..
After taking the Star Pattern Yunling Grass, Sunan's mental power skyrocketed.1.87.
Almost equivalent to two months of meditation results.
Thanks to this, his mental power soared to5.77.
The benefit brought by the surge in mental power is that the proficiency of the Star Ring Meditation Method increases faster..
Meditation increases mental power, and increased mental power will in turn increase meditation efficiency..
The two are complementary to each other.
Now, if Sunan meditates for one day, he can probably increase his proficiency in the star ring meditation method by 10 to 12 points..
At this rate, we should be able to construct the second star ring in seven or eight months at most..
“But actually it can be faster.”
“Black Rock City is no longer under great financial pressure. I can use more gold coins to purchase materials to make secondary active potions. Then I will use the Rubik's Cube to synthesize potions with better effects..”
“In this way, the efficiency of meditation can be further improved..”
