Chapter 238 The mysterious power of the domain, a show of force.
The auction has concluded, and the lesser scrolls have been sold.
Next, naturally comes the most important step... winning people's hearts.
"Although the scroll is important, it is still just a finished product. The person who controls the production of the scroll is the most important." A handsome blond man murmured in his heart.
He was dressed in an elegant white suit and was waiting quietly outside the box with his servants.
This man is the trusted subordinate of the second prince of the Aklan Empire, Xifaer. He was ordered to come and meet with the wizard Lorraine, whose appearance and rank are unknown.
There were many nobles who thought the same as him, but most of them were just hoping for luck and did not have much confidence in winning over Lin Luo.
In the exquisite corridor with rose red as the main tone,
Hundreds of tall and charming maids each held a gold-rimmed display tray, and each tray contained a space ring with a different pattern.
Obviously, these rings contain the resources that the nobles are preparing to use to please Lin Luo.
At this moment, Hughes was holding a stack of white paper and, following Lin Luo's instructions, recording the list of resources donated by the nobles one by one, and finally binding them into a book.
During this process, although the nobles were puzzled by this move, they still waited quietly for Hughes's questions and told him the truth.
But at this moment, there was a hint of bitterness on the blond man's face.
Because in front of him stood a military minister who realized that the scroll could change the course of the war.
He absolutely would not believe that the minister's actions were not authorized by old Arthur.
Now that he had such a good example, his intuition told him that this mission of winning over the other party might not be accomplished, and at best he could only make the other party familiar to him.
All power in this world is a skyscraper built on the foundation of extraordinary strength.
Strength is always the most important factor!
Therefore, the appearance of every ninth-level mage or above will attract the attention of countless major forces.
Either make friends with them or get to know them.
In any case, these forces are all trying to cast a wide net when approaching high-level mages, not seeking to win over people's hearts, but just to avoid making enemies.
The blond man sighed and thought to himself, "It's okay to just get to know him. His Highness didn't ask me to recruit Master Lorraine into his service anyway."
He glanced at the corridor crowded with nobles, his face embarrassed: "Judging from the means just now, Master Lorraine's strength is probably around the tenth level.
With such limited resources, it is simply an impossible task to please him!"
The Grand Councilor, who was blocking the doorway, was playing with a scroll in his hand. He suddenly turned around, smiled, nodded slightly to the group of people behind him, and said leisurely:
"Everyone came here to discuss the scroll with Lord Luo Lin, or perhaps the forces behind you want to win over Lord Luo Lin?"
The Grand Councilor's tone was very calm, refreshing.
But the sinister smile on his face made him look like an old fox no matter how he looked at it.
Moreover, his eyes roamed over the blond man for a moment, frightening the latter so much that he dared not speak.
At the same time, the nobles were also shocked by his sudden question.
You asked us in person whether we were representing the forces behind the scenes to win over the people?
Isn't this a question you ask even though you already know the answer?
But there were no fools among the people present, or rather, the nobles who thought of coming to win over the people were not fools.
Because there are only a few military ministers who are trusted by old Arthur, and the appearance of the old man in front of him is very recognizable.
Therefore, after the nobles glanced at him, they all retracted their necks.
"In reply to Lord Davis, we simply wish to establish a good relationship with Lord Lorraine and have no intention of winning him over. Please do not misunderstand me."
The Aklan Empire not only has a prosperous culture, but also has a very martial people. From the nobles to the common people, everyone maintains a fanatical attitude towards spiritual practice.
Although this Grand Councilor was a civilian, he was quite powerful.
As they spoke, all the nobles, led by the blond man, lowered their bodies a little.
They were afraid that if they were slow to explain, they would offend this imperial official whose strength was at the peak of the ninth level.
The reason why they were so afraid was not only because of their own low strength, but also because of Davis's status in the empire.
Davis, who is highly valued, currently holds the second-rank official position. Whether he can be promoted to the first-rank official is only limited by his qualifications.
No one present dared to offend him.
Davis was extremely satisfied with the performance of the nobles.
He came to Shenglin Town with two missions.
First, the best outcome of negotiating with this suddenly appearing wizard Lorraine would be to obtain the method of making the scroll.
An unlimited scroll that can be preserved for a long time, once it reaches the ninth or tenth level, if it can be used flexibly, its importance can be comparable to that of several alchemical battleship formations.
Old Arthur, who had been baptized in war since childhood and had spent his whole life in the military, naturally wanted to acquire this technology.
If he, as the leader of a country, does not take action, and if others pick the peaches first, he will probably have no place to cry.
The second task is to get in touch with Altria.
He will relay a sentence to the little princess:
"Old Arthur's time is running out."
As long as old Arthur is alive, his authority will not disappear, and Artoria will be able to grow up safely under his protection.
But it seems that King Arthur may not be able to hold on for much longer.
In no more than half a year, the king who ruled the Aklan Empire would die due to physical decay.
Therefore, there is not much time left for Artoria to take control of the power.
"During this negotiation, we must win over Lorraine, this unstable factor, to Her Royal Highness's side!
If the other party is hostile... Lady Isana should be watching this venue, and the worst that can happen is that they will have a falling out sooner rather than later."
Coming back to his senses, Davis smiled coldly at the people behind him and then turned around.
His questions were only meant to shock everyone and dispel any inappropriate thoughts in their minds.
In fact, he wanted to kick these nobles out and put an end to it.
However, "Master Lorraine" was in the house, and in order to win his favor, Davis could only think about this idea.
At this moment, the noble gentlemen were standing quietly in the corridor, anxiously waiting to be summoned by "Master Lorraine".
This kind of spectacular scene can usually only be seen in the two great empires.
But today I saw it in a remote place like Shenglin Town.
While registering, Hughes felt a little dizzy, and even his steps began to move uncontrollably when he walked.
"All this was given by Lord Lorraine! Praise Lord Lorraine!" Hughes did not forget who brought all this.
His heart was filled with enthusiasm, and he sang hymns to Lin Luo as if he was praising the great goddess of stars and moon.
at the same time,
Lin Luo in the box also transformed Shenmo Qianji into a wide robe, hiding his body in it to prevent outsiders from observing.
Seeing everyone's restrained expressions, he had a hint of joy in his eyes, and thought to himself, "Let's be honest, the benefits of a demigod body are indeed surprisingly effective."
Just like the words emerging from the minds of Hughes and others, the murmurs were not one-sided.
Ever since the other party learned that Lin Luo also had the code name "Lorraine", the "medium" had been planted.
During the auction of the scroll, this "medium" grew rapidly as everyone's fanatical thoughts about Lin Luo intensified (the desire to please and win him over).
It was not until the scrolls were auctioned that the medium in most people grew to the point where it could only transmit words.
But this was enough for him.
Lin Luo looked in the direction where Davis was standing, as if he could see through the heavy vermilion sandalwood door.
"Davis, the Grand Councilor? He truly deserves to be the king who has ruled Aklan for thousands of years."
He couldn't help but admire old Arthur's decisiveness and the Aklan Empire's fast execution speed.
In just one afternoon, he traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to send such an important minister here, which was enough to show how much old Arthur valued him.
But at the same time, Lin Luo could also sense a faint sense of crisis.
"The 'Lady Isana' Davis mentioned in his mind is probably the mysterious and powerful person who used his mental power to spy on the auction process."
As he browsed through Davis's fragments of thought, he thought to himself, "But, can old Arthur really only hold on for another six months?
If his body had decayed to this extent, it would explain why Altria agreed to Vivian's suggestion and asked me to try to save old Arthur."
This is the same as trying all kinds of treatments for a long-term illness.
As for whether it can really be cured, I believe that Artoria and the others are actually unsure.
It's just an expectation.
During a brief moment of thought, Lin Luo could already sense vague gazes converging in the sky and then falling on him.
But he was not at all panicked, as the Thousand Machines of Gods and Demons were enough to block Isana's mental detection.
Not to mention finding out his strength level, even Lin Luo's appearance was difficult to see clearly.
"Friend, don't you understand that using mental power to investigate others is extremely rude?"
After a casual scolding, Lin Luo took a piece of animal skin in his hand and slowly drew a new scroll.
Under the cover of the system's power, his current actions seemed blurry in Isana's eyes, as if they were illuminated by holy light.
Moreover, while drawing the scroll, Lin Luo slightly released a trace of the fire rule power unique to the third level of humanity.
The overbearing fire rules transformed into a flaming sword, cutting off all the spiritual tentacles in the sky that tried to approach.
This series of seemingly arrogant actions was actually Lin Luo's cover-up.
"High-level mages cannot be insulted!" This is the consensus of everyone on the Star-Moon Continent.
At this moment, Lin Luo played the role of a mysterious wizard whose strength was at least ninth level.
Naturally, it is impossible to allow outsiders to explore at will.
However, Isana's mental power was at the tenth level or higher, so it was a pipe dream for him to cut it off.
But it was easy for Lin Luo to cut off the mental tentacles of others who tried to take advantage of the situation and explore his true strength.
Most of these people's mental power level is only the seventh or eighth level, and the few who have the ninth level mental power are unable to withstand the terrifying power of the third level rule of humanity.
The deterrent effect was very effective. Isana's mental power retreated consciously and continued to hang in the air and watch.
The other mages who were ready to make a move also became quiet in an instant and dared not make any more provocative moves.
At this moment,
Bang bang——
There was a faint knock on the door.
Hughes' respectful voice came: "Lord Lorraine, the list and magic crystals you requested are ready. Do you need me to bring them in for you now?"
"Bring in those resources. Also, please invite Mr. Davis into the house for a chat."
"yes!"
Hughes received instructions in his mind and waved his hand quickly, asking Cornelieve to collect all the space rings.
After everything was ready, he bowed and whispered, "Lord Davis, Lord Lorraine invites you to come in and have a chat. Please!"
Just like before, Davis did not sense any mental fluctuations, and he felt more and more solemn about this mysterious voice transmission.
At the same time, he also wanted to know whether this mysterious wizard "Lorraine" was really powerful or just playing tricks.
Thinking of this, Davis glanced at Hughes, nodded and laughed, "Okay, I couldn't ask for a meeting with Master Lorraine!"
As he was speaking, Hughes made a welcoming gesture to him, then held up the nanmu box containing the space ring and slowly pushed open the door of the box.
Crunch——
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the heavy sandalwood door slowly opened a crack.
In an instant, the mysterious power of the domain overflowed into the space.
It is ethereal and airy, as if being in another world, bringing peace and tranquility to everyone's heart.
The nobles of lower ranks felt as if they were in the kingdom of God, their whole bodies and minds filled with happiness.
But this situation eased a lot after Davis walked into the box and closed the door.
When everyone came to their senses, they realized that this was a show of force from "Master Lorraine" to intimidate them.
Immediately, they couldn't hold back their excitement and used their mental power to transmit their thoughts:
"Shit, I think I saw Lord Lorraine drawing a scroll!"
"I saw it too! I didn't expect his strength to be this strong. Just a wisp of domain power that overflowed from him could affect our minds!"
"How could such a terrifying domain power actually exist in this world? What kind of rules and attributes does it belong to?"
"Stop talking, save me first!
Just now I was about to try to resist this force, but my domain power was suppressed by Lord Lorraine's domain power at the first sight!
Right now, I'm so happy that my legs are weak and my pants are wet. What should I do if I can't stop? "
“Hey, you deserve it!
In front of Lord Luo Lin, you dare to recklessly activate the power of your domain? "
"This kind of domain power that can easily interfere with reality is simply a force a level higher than ours!"
"Forgive my ignorance, but what is the nature of this rule? Is it too late for me to study it again now?
It’s not because I’m obsessed with this feeling, I just want to improve my strength, really!”
Lin Luo naturally heard everyone's thoughts clearly, but he didn't want to bother to pay attention to them.
He was so focused on drawing the scroll that he didn't even look up when Davis walked in with a dazed look on his face.
At this moment,
However, the third-order fire rules that could make Davis secretly tremble with fear seemed to come alive under the strokes of the wolf-hair brush.
The crimson power of rules emerged and transformed into fire snakes, which leaped on the animal skin on their own, as if they were dancing a graceful dance.
Davis and Hughes had never seen such a scene before, and they were stunned for a moment.
Soon, the entire animal hide was covered with exquisite magic patterns that they were completely unable to understand.
The two tried hard to record the whole process, but they could not recall any scene at all. All they had were blurry images.
Lin Luo stopped writing and threw the scroll beside him. In an instant, a narrow blue space portal opened and swallowed him.
Davis' heart trembled again when he saw this.
Third-order fire rules, third-order space rules, and mysterious and strange domain power...
This person is so weird!
