The people in Sob City had never seen such a huge sword light in their lives, and it was not even recorded in historical books!
Everyone in Sob City who was out and about saw a flash of sword light fly out from the Duke's Mansion, surging in the wind and transforming into a giant sword cloud. It lasted for several seconds before disappearing.
Wang Xiaohai used the storage ring to take back the Sword of True Awareness. A line of blood appeared between the eyebrows of the Glorious Knight in front of him, and he fell backwards - just as Wang Xiaohai expected, the Glorious Knight did not listen to Wang Xiaohai's persuasion and refused to let him and the Duke go. There was no choice but to solve all the problems with one sword.
There is nothing that cannot be solved with one sword. If there is, then use two swords!
"You...you killed the Glorious Knight of the Holy See!" Duke Sob's lips were trembling and his words were almost unclear.
"That's right. If I don't kill him, he'll kill you, and then my cattle and sheep will be gone." Wang Xiaohai said, "You shook it, it's no big deal, it's a small matter. Don't thank me, just give me a few more cows."
"Do you know that if you kill the Glorious Knights who protect your country, the Church will destroy your country and massacre your city?" The Duke was still trembling.
"I don't know, so what?" Wang Xiaohai said, "I'm not afraid of the Holy See. If you're afraid, you can just blame it on me. You're no match for the Holy See's Radiant Knights anyway. You're a Radiant Knight too, right? Why are you so timid?"
"Many of our lords only have the honorary title of knight, which does not mean they have such strength." Duke Sob explained that he was only at the level of a warrior.
"Oh, so there are two kinds of knights: those with real strength, and those with noble status but no real strength." Wang Xiaohai said, "By the way, you should find someone to take care of the rest of the matter quickly. I'm anxiously waiting for your cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses."
The Duke felt that this partner was a little unreliable, but when he thought about how he could kill the Glorious Knight with one sword, he thought that his strength was at least at the peak or limit of the Glorious Knight. Thinking of this, he did not dare to anger Wang Xiaohai, and had to let the servants in the mansion go out to find the Golden Knights that used to belong to him, let them return to their positions, and work together to wipe out the rebel Count Letis.
It must be said that after the death of the Glorious Knight, Duke Sob acted quickly. It only took him one day to organize his knights to capture Letis's men and his family. Duke Sob killed all of Letis's men, and his family was sent to the ranch as slaves.
Early morning of the third day.
Count Lettis had his hands tied and was kneeling in front of the vegetable market in Sob Square.
"Brother Nad, please let me go. I was wrong." Lettis pleaded loudly to Duke Nad Sob, who was supervising the execution. "I am your brother after all. How can you be so cruel as to kill me?"
"I want to ask you, if I fail, will you let me go?" Duke Sob said expressionlessly.
"Yes, yes, of course!" Lettice said excitedly, his expression as sincere as possible.
Duke Sob knew that Letis was talking nonsense. During the process of arresting him, he had received information from Letis's men - no matter who was in the Duke's Mansion, they would be caught, imprisoned and beaten for three days, and then beheaded!
"Executioner, sharpen your knife!" Duke Sob turned around and no longer looked at Lettice.
The tradition of executing criminals in the Principality of Sorbia was to sharpen the knife first, which put psychological pressure and torture on the criminals.
"Half a year of planning has come to nothing. Heaven is blind and hatred is endless!" Lettis knew that he was going to die and sighed.
"cut!"
Blood splattered.
The process of collecting cattle, sheep, and pigs was very boring. The Duke had to roast the cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses according to Wang Xiaohai's instructions before they could be delivered. In just a few days, all of Duke Sob's money was gone. After all, although they were his people, he could not rob them by force. This would save money but lose the people's hearts, and it would likely cause merchants and civilians to flee and immigrate abroad.
In the end, Duke Sob sold all his clothes and steam locomotives, but still couldn't raise the two million that Wang Xiaohai had asked for. After all, it took a lot of pigs, sheep, and horses to replace a cow, and the specific number was decided by Wang Xiaohai. Moreover, they had to be slaughtered, cleaned, and roasted with seasonings, all of which required money to hire workers.
"I borrowed a lot of silver from the nearby duke. I don't know how many years it will take to repay the loan?" Duke Sob sighed to Wang Xiaohai, expressing his difficult life. "From now on, my duke's mansion, including the nearly one thousand guards, can only eat porridge and drink water every day. I can only pay them one-tenth of their wages every month, and then pay them when I have money in the future." The wrinkles on his forehead were almost enough to squeeze out bitterness.
"At least it's better than losing your life, right?" Wang Xiaohai knew that this guy was playing the victim and pretending to be poor, so he couldn't be soft-hearted.
"Then there is still a shortage of 300,000 cattle. I have obtained an unknown treasure and will present it to you in exchange for the price of 300,000 cattle." Duke Sob said.
Wang Xiaohai wondered what treasure he didn't have. Could the Duke's treasure be eaten by the Shanwei beast? Even if it could be eaten, it wouldn't be worth more than 300,000 cows.
"The price of 300,000 cows is 15 million taels of silver. Ordinary treasures are not worth this price. Even if you give me a diamond as big as a house, I won't exchange it for cows!" Wang Xiaohai refused.
Duke Sob thought Wang Xiaohai was dreaming. There was no diamond that big in the world. He had never seen one as big as a fist, let alone one as big as a house. However, he did not dare to refute Wang Xiaohai and could only explain: "My treasure is different. I sent dozens of steam engines to jointly mine it with Marquis Sean. I didn't hand it over to the Holy See. Of course, Sean got the lion's share of the treasure. He must be very happy now. After all, it is in his territory."
Wang Xiaohai was struck by lightning. He was just about to go to the Kingdom of Bestan to look for the cunning Marquis Sean. He didn't know what the treasure in his hand was. It was a good opportunity for him to take a look at the Duke of Sob's treasure and guess what Sean's was!
"What kind of treasure is it? Can you tell me if it's worth over a million sheep?" Wang Xiaohai was tempted, but he didn't show it on his face. "If I think it's just average, I'll just confiscate it and not give you a penny."
"This thing is magical. When I keep it by my side, I can feel my martial energy and physical fitness slowly increasing. It is definitely a rare treasure. If it weren't for my old age and lack of money, I really wouldn't sell it. Leaving it to my descendants can also increase their strength." Duke Sob said.
Wang Xiaohai actually had already agreed in his heart, he just pretended not to be interested. After all, during a negotiation, one cannot show too much interest, otherwise he will suffer a loss!
After Duke Sob finished speaking, he took out an object wrapped in oilcloth from his arms and opened the cloth layer by layer, revealing a round ball as transparent as a glass plate, with a flame seemingly hidden inside.
Wang Xiaohai was shocked: "This is the condensation of divine fire!"
I'm rich, absolutely rich! This thing is worth more than several countries, not to mention cattle and sheep!
