Chapter 185 Going Out
Nero successfully inherited Kate's name and became the young patriarch.

The next morning, the eight elders invited Nero to the family hall, and handed over the family's accounts, genealogy, and property books to Nero, "Hehe, since the young master has become the young patriarch, Then these accounts and finances will naturally be handed over to the young patriarch!"

Nero looked at the account, "Thank you, elders!"

Elder Orsay smiled softly, "The young patriarch is very successful and magnanimous. We are all very grateful. These are the most basic and final things in the family. A few years ago, the patriarch was busy with state affairs and had no time to take care of it, so the eight of us reluctantly took care of it. Management, now that the young patriarch is here, it is naturally to be handed over to the young patriarch for management!" Said, Elder Osai took out a space ring, "Here is the savings of the family over the years!"

Nero picked up the space ring and put it on, his face remained unchanged.

Others would have been shocked by the wealth contained inside, but Nero had already seen the wealth contained in the seven rings, so those inside would no longer be surprised.

Seeing the disdain on Nero's face, Elder Orsay gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart. He and the other elders had worked so hard for decades to accumulate those wealth, but these two boys took it all away in one night. . . .For whom have I been busy all these years, working hard every year to press the gold thread, and embroidering wedding dresses for others!

hatred!
Nero didn't notice, "I'm still young, and I'm not as good as the elders in many things, and I need more guidance from the elders in the future!"

After the elders left, Nero returned to the attic with the accounts left behind.Sitting in front of the table and chair, Nero casually flipped through a stack of accounts, densely packed with records. He saw that Nero had one head and two big ones, so he had no choice but to invite Si Ni out again to help read the accounts.

Si Ni skillfully divided the accounts into several piles.

"These are the daily expenditure accounts, including the salaries of officials at all levels, the expenses of the Guards and the expenditures of the various branches of the family. And these are the accounts of the situation of each city and each village. You can see it from here The population, taxation, industry distribution, and collateral distribution of each city are shown. This pile is the situation of the pro-guard regiments, including the members of the four pro-guard regiments, the status of the captains at all levels, and the status of the regimental leaders. The situation, but there seems to be no record of Jinjuwei. These are the conditions of the shops in the fief. It indicates the situation of all the imperial chambers of commerce that have officially registered and opened in the fief. However, not all chambers of commerce have the same tax rate, such as the tax rate of the SEAT chamber of commerce. The endowment is the lowest, the Mesto Chamber of Commerce is the highest, and the Barr Chamber of Commerce is also very high. Finally, these are the business conditions between the fiefdom and the Faran Empire. Ah! It turns out that our business exchanges with the French Empire are so many, both in number and in quantity! "

Si Ni first briefly explained the situation, and then carefully analyzed the pile of accounts for Nero one by one. The fiefdom of the Kate family is the largest in the empire, and the records of various accounts are complicated. The level is amazing, but fortunately with Si Ni's help, Nero slowly learned about the situation in the fief.After such an analysis, it took five days.

Nero patted the accounts, and after five days, he finally figured out one thing, Kate's fiefdom is very rich!
"Sini, I have one thing I'm not very clear about!" Nero said, "According to what you said, the tax in our fief is many times higher than that in the northwest of yours, and even if it is placed in any part of the empire, it is still taxable." Very high, then why do so many people want to come to our fief?"

"Young patriarch, it's actually very simple!"

Nero smiled and shook his hand, "Don't call me the young patriarch in the future, you should call me Nero, I'd rather listen to you call me Nero to make you feel better!"

Si Ni blushed slightly, "Master Nero, it's actually very simple. As civilians, our requirements are very simple. As long as we can be safe and have enough to eat, we don't care much about other things. Kate's fief is close to Donglan Valley, even in war In the era, there were few war disasters here, and the land is fertile, the climate is pleasant, and there are few natural disasters, so people are happy to live here, even if the tax is slightly higher!"

Nero nodded, that's it!

"Si Ni, wait for you to help me issue the patriarch's order. From today, all taxes except commercial taxes will be exempted for three years. In the next ten years, all other taxes will be halved except for commercial taxes! All chambers of commerce will have a unified standard for commercial taxation!"

Si Ni was a little bit embarrassed, "Master Nero, according to the imperial decree, although we can forgive the tax on our own, the half that is handed over to the empire is indispensable, at least the same as last year. If we forgive the tax, in addition to paying the empire Yes, the rest may not be enough for our daily expenses! Although the elders have given you a lot of purple gold coins, they are for emergency use and cannot be used lightly!"

Nero smiled lightly, shaking the space ring on his hand, "You don't have to worry about these, the one in my ring is enough to deal with it!"

After Si Ni wrote the patriarch's order and Nero signed the name of the young patriarch, Gauss came up, "Young patriarch, the three heads of the personal guards and the squadron leaders are waiting to meet the young patriarch in the meeting hall!"

Grandpa is not there, and as the head of the young patriarch, Nero can be said to be the supreme commander of the pro-guard group.

After ordering Jin Juwei to copy a few copies of the written patriarchal order and distribute it to each city, Nero and Gauss came to the meeting hall together.

The three heads of the personal guards led fifteen squadron leaders in armor and were already waiting in the hall. The story of Jin Juwei's beheading of the personal guards had already spread secretly among the personal guards. The three heads suddenly panicked. Not daring to neglect any longer, they came to report one after another.When Gauss followed Nero and appeared in the chamber, they all stood up immediately.After Nero sat firmly in the middle, the group leader and squadron leaders walked to the middle and saluted Nero.

"Cassie, the head of Duke Kate's second bodyguard regiment, led the five squadron leaders of the second bodyguard regiment to meet the young patriarch! I have met the leader!"

"Hey Lan, head of Duke Kate's third bodyguard regiment, and the five squadron leaders of the third bodyguard regiment have met the young patriarch! I have met the commander!"

"Cisse, the head of Duke Kate's fourth bodyguard regiment, led the five squadron leaders of the fourth bodyguard regiment to meet the young patriarch! I have met the commander!"

Next, the regiment leaders introduced the current situation of the five squadron leaders and the personal guard regiment to Nero one by one. Among them, the situation of the third regiment was more or less clear without introducing Nero.The Kate family has been in the fief for a long time. After the efforts of the previous personal guards, there are no bandits and robbers in the fief. The usual task of the personal guards is to maintain the law and order of each city, and then to maintain the stability of the border .Only the Second Guard Regiment had applied to the empire to serve as a sideline for five years, and the Second Guard Regiment was also the most powerful guard regiment besides the Silver Armored Guards of the First Guard Regiment.Cassie, the head of the regiment, was also promoted to the Viscount of the Empire because of his meritorious service.

After learning about the situation of the personal guards, Nero specially hosted a banquet for the captains of the personal guards in the honor of the Duke to express the Duke's gratitude for their long-term hard work!
The captains of the pro-guard regiments couldn't leave for too long, and hurriedly left the next day to return to their respective pro-guard regiment stations.

Tianci and Ni Luo personally sent the three regiment leaders and fifteen squadron leaders to leave the city of Dres.

After seeing off the captains, Tianci and Nero strolled on the streets of Dres City.

Dress City is indeed a large commercial city in the southern province. The streets in the city are crowded with people and prosperous. There are shops next to each other on both sides, daily necessities, jewelry stores, restaurants, and tea shops. . .Merchants coming in and out all showed satisfied smiles.

"En! Isn't this a gift from God to Lord Marquis and Earl Nero? Hehe, I should call you Young Patriarch!"

Tianci and Nero looked along the sound, and saw Atlans, the head of the Xiongfeng Mercenary Group, leading his brothers out of a nearby shop, just in time to see Tianci and Nero walking in front.

"Captain Etlands, what a coincidence! Aren't you going to Xilan Mountain? Why haven't you set off yet?" Tianci asked.

"Hahaha, the first two missions were relatively difficult, and the brothers were all tired, so we had a good rest in Dres City these days, and the best time to go to Xilan Mountain Peak has not yet come, we want to do it well You have to make sufficient preparations before setting off," Captain Etlands said with a smile.

"Captain, do you know anything about Xilan Mountain?" Nero asked.

"If you want to say that you understand, I dare not! But we have been there several times. The monsters on the mainland are very concentrated. Except for the Yilin Mountains in the northeast, there is only this Xilan Mountain, and the Infinite Forest in the south. There are more monsters in the gray wetlands in the south. We often go to these places to catch monsters and hunt for magic cores. In comparison, Xilan Mountain is the easiest."

Nero was in high spirits, "Captain Etlands, there is a tea house in front, let's sit and chat there!"

The head of Etlands cupped his hands, "The young patriarch invites me, how can I refuse? Please, two young masters!"

Tianci and Nero walked in front, and Captain Etlands told his subordinates to go to rest and shop by themselves, and then walked up to the tea house with the two young masters.

I chose a seat by the window and sat down, ordered a pot of good tea and two or three plates of dim sum.

"Captain Etlands, why do you say Xilan Mountain is the best?" Nero asked.

"This is from my experience. We have also been to the Yilin Mountains. There is no clear boundary there. Although it is on the periphery, five and six level monsters abound. It doesn't matter to a powerful large mercenary group, but for a small and medium-sized mercenary group like us, if there is no absolute strength, it would be too dangerous to enter the Yilin Mountains! But Xilan Mountain is different, there is a clear From the outer mountains to the foot of the mountain, there are basically three or four level monsters, and after the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there will be five or six level monsters. If you feel that your mercenary group is not strong enough, as long as you don’t go above the foot of the mountain, there will be no problem. "

Tianci and Nero nodded.

"That's right, the Yilin Mountains are indeed quite chaotic. I went there once with my father, and not long after I entered, I encountered a level-[-] monster, abyssal boa constrictor, and later a level-[-] monster, a saber-toothed tiger. If Dad hadn't broken through to the big Sword master, I'm afraid we are all over!" Tianci said with lingering fear, that battle left a deep impression on Tianci.

"According to Captain Etrance, isn't Xilan Mountain Peak safe? There must be a lot of people going to Xilan Mountain Peak to hunt for magic cores!" Nero said.

Captain Etlands took a sip of tea, "I'm afraid the two young masters don't know yet. In fact, most of the people who went to Xilan Mountain didn't hunt for the magic core!"

Tianci and Nero were taken aback, "Isn't it for hunting the magic core?"

"Well, their real goal is Donglan Valley! I think the two young masters have also heard of Donglan Valley. It is one of the most mysterious places on the mainland. It is surrounded by thick fog all the year round. The Armed Forces Union has released an indefinite nine-star mission, which is to explore the Donglan Valley, and the reward is 20 purple gold coins! For rewards or to find out the unknown, many adventure groups and strong men tried to go through the fog and enter the Donglan Valley, but no one has succeeded, and no one has even survived. However, there has been a saying in the past hundred years that the key to entering the Donglan Valley lies in the Xilan Mountain Peak, so every year there will be a large number of people Go to Xilan Mountain, just to find the entrance to Donglan Valley!"

Godsend a smile, it seems that the temptation of "the one who wins Donglan wins the world" according to legend is not so small!
"Did you find it?"

"No, although the peak of Xilan Mountain is not big and the monsters are not advanced, almost no one can reach the top of the mountain. The foot of the mountain and the side of the mountain have been extensively searched over the years, but they have not been found, so the key to the entrance must be at the top of the mountain!"

Tianci was very curious, "Then why can't we reach the top of the mountain?"

"I don't know, anyway, I feel that the road to the top of the mountain is too long, no matter how you walk, you can't reach the end... Sigh! Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, but when you really arrive, you will know the strangeness there!" Etter Commander Lance sighed.

"Then, commander, are you going to go to the top of the mountain this time?" Nero asked.

"This time we are mainly helping my deputy head to subdue a monster, and I have plans to subdue a monster myself. As for the top of the mountain, if we can go up, we must go up."

"Then when are you planning to leave?"

"Three days later!"

Back at the Elder's House, Niro made a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations. Niro handed over the account and the space ring to the eight elders, and invited the elders to jointly manage the fief.

In the garden loft

"Nile, we managed to get back the management rights, why did you give them your hands again?" Tianci asked puzzled.

"Brother, I want to give them a chance. I hope they can change their past mistakes and manage the fief well! We are leaving here in a few days, and someone needs to manage it!"

"I hope so!"

The next day, Qin'er and Lier went to the street again, and Lier wanted to buy some southern-style gifts to bring back to her friends.Because of the bet with Tianci, Qin'er can no longer waste a purple gold coin, so she can only watch it, but can't buy it. Seeing Li'er happily shopping, Qin'er scolded Tianci from the bottom of her heart.

On the evening of the third day, Gauss suddenly found Tianci in a hurry.

"Eldest young master, the young patriarch... is gone!"

"What? Nero is gone?" Tianci was surprised.

Gauss nodded, looking anxious.

"Don't you Jin Juwei follow Nero all the time? Why did you disappear?" Tianci asked.

"In the past, he was just the young master, but now he is the young patriarch, not to mention Jin Juwei, even I have to carry out the young patriarch's orders!"

Tianci took two steps, "Do you know where Nero went?"

Gauss shook his head, "I think the young patriarch might be..."

Before Gauss could finish speaking, Tianci immediately rushed into Nile's room in the attic, and saw a piece of paper on the table, with a corner pressed by a cup.

"Brother, Gauss

I went to Xilan Mountain with the Xiongfeng Mercenary Group. You all know the strength and experience of the Xiongfeng Mercenary Group, so don’t worry about me. I’ll be back in half a month!I entrust you and Gauss to take care of the affairs in the fief. "

"Master!" Gauss also rushed into the room.

Tianci reluctantly handed the paper to Gauss, Gauss glanced at it, "The young patriarch really went to Xilan Mountain?"

Tianci nodded, "Actually, I should have seen it a long time ago. Nero has always been obsessed with Xilan Mountain. He was even very excited when he talked with the head of the Xiongfeng Mercenary Group last time."

"Young Master, how long has it been since the Xiongfeng Mercenary Group left? Do you want me to go now..."

Tianci shook his hand, "They set off early in the morning, and we can't catch up now! Gauss, go and call Chen Wu, and let's discuss what to do next!"

After a while, Chen Wu and Gru also hurried to the attic.

Seeing the note left by Nero, Chen Wu and Gru also felt helpless, "Although Master Nero has inherited the patriarch, he is still a hot-blooded boy after all!"

"Chen Wu, what do you think we should do?"

"My lord, I think it's best for us to divide our troops into two groups. On the one hand, we send people to chase the young patriarch. Even if we can't catch up on the way, we can still enter the Xilan Mountain Peak, and we might meet there. On the other hand We have to stay here and pay attention to the movements of the eight elders. We cannot hide the disappearance of the young patriarch. They will know about it sooner or later, so what we have to do is to prevent them from taking advantage of the absence of the young patriarch! "

"Chenwu is right, so who will stay and who will chase after the young patriarch?"

"Yu'er can help us find the young patriarch, so you must go, my lord. The monsters in Xilan Mountain are infested. In order to ensure that, Lord Gauss must also go, because your fighting spirit is the strongest. Miss Li'er will definitely go too, With Miss Qin'er's character, I guess I will follow you. As for me and Gru, I think it's better to stay."

Tianci nodded, "There's morning fog here, you stay here, so I'm relieved!"

"It's not too late, let's go now!" Gauss said anxiously, "I will leave half of the Jinjuwei to obey Miss Chenwu. In the family, the Jinjuwei can be executed first and then report!"

Sure enough, as Chen Wu had expected, after knowing that Tianci and Gao Si were going to Xilan Mountain, Lier wanted to go with Tianci no matter what.Fortunately, Lier has the strength of a fifth-level great magician, and the equipment should have the strength of a sixth-level great magician.Although Qin'er is only at the fourth level, she still has to go with her.

Tianci tried every means to dissuade her, but in the end Qin'er only said one word and made Tianci surrender silently.

"Okay, you go your way, I go mine, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Bring the nine Golden Chrysanthemum Guards, Gauss, Tianci, Qin'er, and Li'er to fly out of Dreis City and head towards Xilan Mountain!
