I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 170 The Three-Year Covenant
"Are you really going to Kaios Li's territory?" Guan Yaoxing frowned and looked at the woman in front of him.

This is Teresa Brad, one of the main managers of the "Dark Blood Family", and the grandmother of Rita Brad, who was captured by Keos.

Teresa and Guan Yaoxing had a friendship before, so after seeing Rita captured, Guan Yaoxing was the one who went looking for her-other members of the "Dark Blood Family" were also difficult to find.

Of course, Guan Yaoxing didn't say that she went with Rita - otherwise she couldn't justify not stopping Rita.

Instead, she said that she was going to Valli City to sneak into Kaios's territory to "do something", and just happened to see Rita's capture, so she ran over to report the news.

The people of the "Dark Blood Family" actually have no choice, they only have two paths, one is to negotiate with Kaios and redeem him, and the other is to rescue Rita by themselves, they can't sit idly by" The strongest and most talented members of the "Dark Blood Family" generation were captured by the nobles of the Holy Blessed Alliance and left alone.

But if they sneak into Kaios' territory by themselves, they don't really have much confidence, because although Rita is very young and her rank is only level 10, her ability to sneak into and hide is actually the best in the "Dark Blood Family". She is top-notch, even if others are better than her, they are not much better.

Since she was found and captured by Kaios, how can other people go to ensure that she will not be discovered or captured?

If the infiltration fails and is discovered, it will be very troublesome.

The "Dark Blood Family" has never been a force in the Western Realm that is good at fighting head-on, let alone it is still under the jurisdiction of Valli City, in the territory of Kaios who is now in the limelight and all kinds of rumors are flying in the sky.

If a few more were captured by then, the "Dark Blood Family" would really be doomed.

But in terms of negotiation, if they really want to go by themselves, their eyes will be smeared. They don't know how to start, or they can only find the kind of broker who does business on both sides, otherwise they rush to Kaios' territory rashly. Just start another game.

Now that Yao Xing took the initiative to help negotiate, Teresa naturally wished for it.

Of course, even if Yao Xing made a move, they had already expected that the negotiation would not go so smoothly.

But their expectation was that Kaios would open his mouth and directly propose an outrageous price, but they never expected that Kaios would not ask for a ransom or compensation at all, and would directly keep Rita.

Especially the news that Guan Yaoxing brought back said that Rita chose to stay!
This was something Teresa couldn't understand or accept anyway, so she wanted to go to the territory of Kaios in person, to see her granddaughter with her own eyes, and to see what was going on.

If Kaios really needed a "hostage" and someone from the "Dark Blood Family" to serve him for three years, it couldn't be Rita.

"Yes, you said that Rita said she would stay and choose to be Kaios' contracted servant. I don't believe it. I want to ask her personally." Teresa said firmly.

Guan Yaoxing frowned slightly: "This may be a little troublesome."

"Didn't you say that Baron Keos is a lord of the Holy Blessed Alliance with a basic bottom line? If he makes a deal and he has a promise, can he be trusted? Then tell him, I'm going to see Rita, see What did he ask for?"

Guan Yaoxing sighed and nodded: "Okay, I'll go and tell him."

She was not afraid that Kaios would attack Teresa, but she thought that even if Teresa saw Rita, it would be of no use, and it might even make the situation worse, and maybe Kaios would What kind of bargaining chip did Stowe have.

If Kaios dares to let Teresa meet Rita, it basically means that he is confident, and Teresa is unlikely to change Rita's decision, or the final result.

Although I don't know what Kaios will do for the time being, Guan Yaoxing still has a very good understanding of Kaios's behavior style.

This guy looks upright on the surface, and he talks about many things with his cards, but in fact, he has already made a lot of preparations behind his back, leaving you helpless and can only follow his predicted path The feeling of walking.

Teresa, including other members of the Darkblood family, counted as one, and none of them were good at fighting minds. The entire family probably didn't have as many minds as Kaios alone.

Guan Yaoxing was really worried. When Teresa went to see Rita, would she be sold by Kaios and count the magic coupons for him?
Not to mention Teresa, even Guan Yaoxing himself is not sure that he can win the fight with Kaios.

That guy's brain circuit is completely different from that of ordinary people, and he has a kind of insight and intuition that ordinary people, even super powerhouses, don't have.

Of course, if she is determined to protect Rita and directly tells Kaios that she is responsible for this, and she negotiates with Kaios on her own behalf, then there is a high probability that Kaios will let her directly bring her Go Rita's.

But the question is, at what cost?

She knew very well that it was not so easy to take advantage of a deal with Kaios, especially when the initiative was in his hands.

Therefore, she will definitely not make a deal with Kaios with herself as the main body for the "Dark Blood Family", who knows what pitfalls she will step on.

But Teresa had to go, and Guan Yaoxing couldn't stop her.

So a few days later, after two rounds of communication with Kaios, Guan Yaoxing took Teresa to his territory again.

It is still the same plan as before, go to the agreed place first and get into the carriage with the forbidden spirit circle, and then the carriage will be carried to the territory of Keos, and enter the arranged outer forbidden spirit circle, Rita will be there Go straight to the car and meet Teresa.

But this time, according to the agreement between Kaios and Guan Yaoxing, only Teresa came in alone, but Kaios also agreed to let Rita and Teresa meet alone. Enter the compartment.

As soon as Guan Yaoxing saw the carriage that came to pick up people at the appointed place, she realized that it was different from the one she rode last time. Not only was it a different carriage, but more importantly, the carriage was no longer filled with pure forbidden spirits. The magic circle, as well as the forbidden magic circle, is a carriage with dual forbidden functions. There is a relatively thick metal skin on the outside of the carriage, and the protection level has been raised several times. Of course, the weight is obviously much heavier. Added an extra horse to pull.

Obviously, this can't be an impromptu refit after Teresa is going to meet Rita. The magic circle and the outer metal skin protection of the carriage are very integrated, and it looks like it was made from this carriage. It's already integrated in time.

So, after she came last time, Kaios redesigned and manufactured a carriage with stronger internal and external defenses?
Guan Yaoxing didn't even need to follow to guess that the spirit-forbidden circle that parked the carriage in Kaios' territory must have been strengthened, and it must be a double-forbidden circle like the carriage.

This is for her, or other super powerhouses. It is estimated that anyone who wants to see Kaios in the future will use this process.

No, with Keos' character, this double-forbidden carriage is by no means the ultimate form, and it will definitely continue to change in the future. This guy will fill in all possible loopholes.

……

Teresa was sitting in the carriage, her whole body tensed up.

The "Dark Blood Family" not only has special abilities in stealth and concealment, but also has specialties in detection and perception. They are always collecting information about aura and magic power around them.

But staying in this compartment, all information from the outside world, no matter the magic power, aura, or even sound, is isolated, just like staying in a small closed box, which is very depressing and uncomfortable.

This made Teresa more irritable and restless, constantly imagining some bad pictures, and even worried that Guan Yaoxing had already been in collusion with Kaios, and then he would frame their "Dark Blood Family" and shut her and Rita. Get up—this kind of thing is usually illogical when you think about it for a while.

Finally, the carriage stopped, and after ten minutes, the carriage door opened.

Seeing Rita jumping into the car alone, and seeing that the most gifted child of the new generation of the family is in a normal state, without any physical damage, and in good spirits, Teresa finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After closing the door of the carriage, Rita looked curiously at the skylight at the top of the carriage—because the carriage has no side windows that can be opened, and the three sides are thick boxes with magic link layers sandwiched between them, and there are double forbidden magic circles in effect. , so there is no way to use a magic lamp, so it can only be illuminated through this special skylight, so as not to make the inside completely dark.

However, this skylight can only see a piece of white light, and cannot see the sky or other scenery.

Rita narrowed her eyes and looked curiously at the illuminated skylight, then saluted Teresa: "Third Elder."

Yes, Rita called her grandma Teresa, "Three Elders".

Since she was a child, she has never been called a grandma or a mother once.

This is the case with many forces similar to the "Dark Blood Family" in the Western Realm. Within the family, the rank is higher than family affection and seniority, or sometimes, seniority itself is a manifestation of rank.

The parents are not only the parents, but also the leader of the entire force, even the "Dark Blood Family" has less than 50 members, hides in the dark all the year round, and does not have a very large territory.

Teresa nodded, trying to maintain a relatively calm expression and tone, and said, "Rita, I'm here to pick you up."

Rita was stunned for a moment, looked up at her grandma, lowered her head again, and whispered, "I... I promised Baron Keos that I would stay here and serve him for three years..."

"What nonsense!" Teresa reprimanded loudly.

Seeing that Rita was frightened and her whole body trembled, and her head lowered even more, Teresa thought of Guan Yaoxing's warning to her before she came, so she took a deep breath, slowed down her tone, and said, "Rita, don't Worried about the issue of compensation, although we are not a big force in the Western Realm, we still have some foundation and savings, and there are many things in the Western Realm that the lords of the Holy Blessed Alliance cannot get. Those things may be of average value in the Western Realm, but when they arrive The Holy Blessed Alliance can get a large amount of magic coupons in exchange, so our burden will not be too big."

Rita whispered: "Baron Keos won't want those things. He has a channel to trade with the Western Realm, and ordinary things don't look up to him. If he wants compensation, it must be something that the Western Realm is difficult to get... ..."

Before she finished speaking, Teresa scolded impatiently: "These are not things you need to consider! You just need to go back with me!"

"I... I got into trouble, I made a mistake, I myself..."

Teresa interrupted again: "You can't do anything by yourself! Do you really think that the baron will let you go back after only three years of service? What kind of things do you have to do in these three years, and how much suffering can you let him go?" Satisfied? After three years, what should he do if he doesn't fulfill the agreement?"

"No, I didn't suffer here. Baron Keos is very kind to me. I just helped Baron Keos test his security team. I didn't disclose the family's cultivation method or any stealth and concealment methods. Just sneaking in and verifying their security system. I would have dinner with Baron Keos and Ms. Qiancang every day, and listen to their chats. When they said important and secret things, I would not avoid them Me. The room where I rest is very good, the bed is very soft, and I can move around freely in the territory. Baron Keos said that if he is interested, he can also arrange for someone to let me go to Valli City secretly, as long as I don’t show my face That's fine..."

"Shut up!" Teresa couldn't listen anymore, and raised the volume again: "What are you thinking! He can let you eat together, dare to let you move freely in the territory, ask you to help him verify the security system, and what are you doing? It's not because you have signed a soul subordination contract with him! Do you think he treats you as a family friend, as his confidant and subordinate? You are just a slave who signed a soul subordination contract! If you didn't sign a soul subordination contract, how could he Dare to let you get close, how dare you let you move freely in the territory! You are willing to be a slave..."

Rita stared blankly at Teresa, a little scared by her violent reaction. After a while, she finally couldn't help but whispered: "Third Elder... I haven't signed a contract with Baron Keos yet. The soul subordination contract..."

"Did you know that after you signed the soul subordination contract, your life was in the hands of the baron. You really waited until... what? You didn't sign..." Teresa took a while to realize what Rita said. What do the words mean, and I froze for a moment.

She heard Guan Yaoxing come back and said that the lord wanted Rita to stay as a hostage for three years, and had to sign a soul subordination contract, and Rita herself agreed, so now when she heard Rita say that the lord asked her to verify something The security system, eating together, not avoiding her while chatting, and allowing her to move freely in the territory, instinctively felt that Rita had signed a soul subordination contract with Kaios in advance, so she was very angry and completely controlled I can't help but feel emotional.

After a few seconds, Teresa finally spoke again: "He is treating you like this now, just to make you sign the soul-serving contract willingly! Once you sign the soul-serving contract, you will be his slave! Anyway, other You don't have to worry about it, just go with me! I'll talk to that baron right away..."

"No, I want to stay. I promised Baron Keos, and I will fulfill my promise." Rita suddenly raised her head and said firmly, "Third Elder, go back."

After she finished speaking, she opened the door of the carriage, jumped down, and walked quickly towards the distant building.

"Rita! Rita Brad! Do you know what you're talking about? Come back!" Teresa yelled twice, but without stopping Rita, she immediately jumped out of the carriage to pull she.

But when she got out of the car, a guard who was [-] meters tall and in heavy metal armor stood in front of him, and said in a condescending voice:

"Ma'am, you can't get out of the car."

"Get out!" Teresa stretched out her hand to push him away, but when she raised her hand to push, the opposite side remained motionless like a wall, and she suddenly remembered that even outside the carriage, there was still a double-forbidden magic circle.

"Madam, please go back to the carriage."

The [-]-meter iron bump took a step forward. To Teresa, it was like a huge mountain approaching, making her retreat involuntarily.

She looked up again, and found that Rita's back had quickly disappeared at the door of the building not far away.

Although unwilling and unwilling, Teresa finally got into the carriage and was sent out of the territory alone.

In the territory, on the mage tower more than 20 meters high, Kaios put down the magic telescope and sighed softly.

Next to him, also holding a magic telescope, watching the carriage leaving the gate of the territory, and Qing Dawn, she glanced at Kaios and said, "Did you expect this result a long time ago?"
