Chapter 254

"Absolutely loyal?"

Li Mu wanted to laugh in his heart, but instead of being happy, he laughed out of anger.

Mia, whom the old housekeeper said was absolutely loyal, actually made his heart beat faster and felt threatened.

He finally understood that neither the old Duke nor the old housekeeper were very smart.

The Church of the Sun probably saw through that the old Duke was not smart enough and had a tough bone, and knew that the old Duke would not hand over the Crystal Skull, which was inherited by the family. That's why the Church of the Sun forced the family to death. In the end, it even tried to kill the Twilight Church and was captured alive.

.

"Mia, did the old housekeeper tell you what happened?"

Li Mu asked calmly.

"As I said, Mia swears to be loyal to Lord Brandon to the death."

Night elf Mia knelt down on one knee and lowered her head and said respectfully.

"Just tell me. This is the Blood Feast wine glass. The old butler will take care of it. You can drink the blood wine now."

Li Mu said as he took out the Blood Feast wine glass and handed it to Mia.

Mia took the Blood Feast wine glass. The sharp shadow magic on her fingertips pierced the blood vessels in her wrist. The blood flowed into the wine glass driven by the shadow magic. Finally, she drained half of her own blood before filling the wine glass. She held the wine glass together with trembling hands.

Bring it to your lips and drink slowly.

The blood wine brewed in the Blood Feast wine cup immediately turns into shadow magic after entering the mouth.

Mia couldn't bear it and fainted on the spot, breaking through from LV69 to LV70 while sleeping.

"Old housekeeper, please seal her strength."

Li Muhan said in a cold voice.

"why is that?"

The old housekeeper asked doubtfully.

"I have a special talent and can sense her malice towards me."

Li Mu sighed, "It seems that many of the remaining members of the family have alienated intentions and need to be sorted out."

Although the old housekeeper didn't really believe it in his heart, he still arranged a magic circle to seal Mia's strength. After all, Mia's identity is a dead soldier. Only the Duke can decide the life and death of a dead soldier. Since the new Duke wants Mia to die, even if he is

The housekeeper didn't have the right to question it.

Li Mu transferred Mia to a lunatic asylum. With her sealed strength, she could not escape from the lunatic asylum.

With a patient at LV70, the demon larvae clone will also achieve amazing growth.

For several days, Li Mu personally met with all the current combat power of the Brandon family.

There are 1,216 people in total, and only two of them are above LV70, namely the old butler and the leader of the Ghost Knights. There were originally two Bone Kings, but they were taken to the Twilight Church by old Duke Brandon to die.

The entire Ghost Knights has a full strength of 500 people, and now there are 260 people left.

However, all members are above LV60, which is the strongest combat power of the Brandon family. Unfortunately, they fought with the Twilight Church and killed a group of elites. After carefully digesting the inheritance in the crystal skull, Li Mu understood the most important thing.

The ones worthy of his trust are the Ghost Knights.

Because all members of the Ghost Knights, their life and death are all controlled by the Crystal Skull.

Only then did he understand why old Duke Brandon was not worried that Belloc would not be able to control the Duke's Palace after inheriting the title, because as long as the Ghost Knights were still within their control, the entire Duke of Brandon's Palace would not be able to make a big splash.

In addition to the Ghost Knights, the Brandon family also has hundreds of guards and dozens of shadow assassins.

Their strength is also above LV60, but unfortunately there are enough malicious people among them that he can find dozens of them.

Some of these people were loyal to the dead heir Otto, some were bribed, and the old butler and the leader of the Ghost Knights suppressed them. All of them were captured alive and thrown into the lunatic asylum. This also made the old butler feel very guilty and took the initiative to resign.

Li Mu agreed. He knew that the old housekeeper took the initiative to resign not because of embarrassment, but because he wanted to focus on taking care of Lucy.

With the leader of the Ghost Knights, he doesn't need an old butler who is loyal to Lucy.

In addition to these direct combat forces of the Brandon family, the rest are the family's male and female servants. There are hundreds of them in total, and their strength varies. The most powerful ones are as high as LV69 for the head maid, and the weak servants will not be lower than LV69.

LV30.

Relatively speaking, these male and female servants are actually the most loyal.

Because they have been trained since childhood, and most of them have never left the Duke's Palace in their lives.

If you don’t experience too much, it will naturally be easier to stay loyal.

Unlike the guards of the Duke's Palace who often go out on business, they have more experience and their loyalty is not so pure.

Li Mu thoroughly cleaned up the Duke's Mansion, and the entire Duke's Mansion was finally operational again.

While killing decisively and making people panic, he also devoted some of his resources to win people's hearts and turn the resources into strength.

Because of the bounty offered by the Church of the Sun, he could not easily use the combat power of the Duke's Palace on the Abyss Star, but he could definitely bring them out of the Abyss Star and let these combat powers fight for him in different worlds.

Because his personal strength has improved too quickly, he has been facing the embarrassing situation of having no one available to him in recent years.

Regardless of whether it is several Phoenix Empires or Golden Crow City, whether it is psychic wizards or indigenous people, their strength cannot keep up with his growth pace. At most, they can only attack him. But it is different now. A mere ghost knight can send them casually.

A few people can easily defeat the Golden Crow City.

The Duke's Mansion was stabilized and on the right track, and Li Mu finally had time to improve his own strength.

He has handed over the crystal skull to the demon larvae clone for study.

This avatar of his still follows the blood source wizard route. If he wants to improve his extraordinary level, he needs to continuously expand the blood source core and strengthen the soul and blood god body.

The fastest way to strengthen the Soul Blood God Body is to create more Blood God Sons.

Through the feedback from the Blood God Son, you can strengthen your soul and spiritual power.

The lunatic asylum has imprisoned many hidden dangers that have been eliminated in the Duke's Palace, but their strength is too high. He can't make professionals over LV40 into blood gods now, so after some consideration, Li Mu is going to Hurricane City to buy a group of professionals.

slave.

With the help of his talent for disguise, Li Mu changed his appearance.

Although he can no longer disguise himself as Belloc, the holy symbol in Belloc's soul does not affect him from wearing it on his body.

So he can pretend to be a new person without worrying about being found out to be a dishonest person.

After apparating several times in a row, Li Mu was approaching Hurricane City.

There are no hurricanes in Abyss Star in December of the year. This is the twelfth month when there are no hurricanes, so this is also the busiest time for the island's business. Not only are there professionals who come from the Western Continent to hunt for treasures, there are also people who have left the island while the hurricanes subside.

The land returns to the professionals who repair it.

There is a map of the entire city in front of the city gate. He had already memorized it in his mind the last time he came to Hurricane City to buy Quicksand Island.

However, I was in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to learn more about Hurricane City except for going to the City Lord's Mansion to buy Quicksand Island.

After passing through the city gate, Li Mu stopped a steam carriage on the roadside.

"Where are you going?"

The driver turned around and asked.

"Where can I buy professional slaves in Hurricane City?"

Li Mu asked.

"That must be the Lord's hurricane arena."

The driver didn't even want to blurt it out.

"Tell me about the Hurricane Arena on the way."

Li Mu said, taking out a gold coin and throwing it to the coachman.

When the coachman got the gold coins, his mouth lit up with joy, and he kept talking about everything along the way.

The Hurricane Arena in the north of the city is a professional arena opened by Lord Hurricane, the ruler of the Hurricane Islands. Only here can you buy professional slaves. At most, you can only buy ordinary slaves in other places.

Among them, the source of professional slaves mainly comes from the land abandoned by the gods.

There are no rules in the Land Abandoned by the Gods, and even the Righteous God does not work there. The professionals who go there will do anything to fight for the treasures. The best outcome is death for the loser. Life is worse than death or being captured alive and sold as a slave.

If you lose it, the rest of your life will be miserable.

Those with background can also contact their families to redeem people from slave traders.

Those who have no background are treated as real slaves.

The entire building of the Hurricane Arena is a thick tornado made of metal frames.

He needed to buy a ticket to enter. Li Mu directly took out a divine gold coin and bought the most expensive ticket for the Hurricane Arena, which sometimes cannot be sold even a year. Soon, a special elf maid took him to the box with the best view.

, and at the same time prepare fine wine, fruits and vegetables worth thousands of gold coins.

There are twelve or four fights a day in the Hurricane Arena, with an average of one fight every two hours.

The first hour is the betting time, and the last hour is the wrestling time. If there is no winner within one hour, all will be executed. If the winner is determined, the winner will be auctioned.

Li Mu looked towards the center of the arena and saw that betting was already being placed on the next fight.
