Chapter 144 Time, time!
In the Eagle's Nest, the sun was shining brightly, shining on the huge gray-white castle, and the pink flowers on the side of the tree were falling with the wind. The classical and elegant aristocratic beauty immediately entered Zhou Mo's eyes.

Sitting under a four-season flower tree in the manor, the twin maids were cooking a cup of fragrant black tea. Zhou Mo looked at this castle that belonged to him from a distance, and felt a sudden sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Zhou Mo has taken over the territory of Eagle's Nest for three days. During the three days, Qian Shu and Chen Yang finally showed their qualities as Ruiwen-Nalong's personal maids, commanding Fatty and his younger brothers to take over the whole territory. Taxes, citizenship, and land were all taken over, and the work of recruiting retainers and private soldiers began.

The two maids from the Kingdom of the Sea were so busy that they couldn't see anyone, but they gave the other female family members a chance to get close to Zhou Mo.

Carrying a plate of candied fruit and snacks, Mina walked over gracefully from the castle. She was still far away from Zhou Mo, she smiled, and even her steps were a little graceful.

Suddenly, the candied fruit and snacks in Mina's hand spilled all over the floor, the smile on her face turned into horror, and she stared in the direction of the gate of the manor in a daze.

Zhou Mo turned his head, and saw a fully armed fine gold knight, leading two teams of twenty Mithril knights behind him, riding a mountain bear directly into the manor.

With a cold face, Zhou Mo got up, and his figure just flickered, and he had already appeared in front of the gold knight who was running wildly.

With one hand holding down the head of the mysterious silver mountain bear, Zhou Mo's whole body flashed with a golden color, stopping the galloping knight.

Ninger-Yingyang flipped off the mountain bear lightly. He was dressed in pure gold armor, which seemed to have no effect on him.

Uncovering the mask, Ninger looked very serious and said:
"Zhou Mo, I'm sorry, the matter is urgent, Ning Ge was rude!"

As he spoke, he stroked his chest with his right hand, and performed a formal courtesy to express his apology.

Zhou Mo's expression softened slightly, and he said:
"Forget it, third son Ninge, what's the matter?" His tone was cold.

Ninge smiled wryly, but did not explain again, and said in a hurried tone:
"The news came from the imperial capital that civilians were sucked dry of their blood and died in the outer noble territory of the empire's direct territory, and those damned monsters have infiltrated it!

"Also, there are more and more undead coming out of the dark forest in the north, and this kind of situation has appeared in the surrounding territories. I'm afraid the situation is going to be bad. Father asked me to help you and strictly check the immigrants!"

Hearing this news, Zhou Mo, who came to know something about the monsters in the dark forest today, looked serious. This race is a bit like the blood race in the legend of his hometown, but it is a bit different.

"This is an urgent matter. I really don't have anyone here who is proficient in verifying the characteristics of those monsters, so please trouble Mr. Ninge!" At this time, Zhou Mo has no retainers and private soldiers. It was only managed by the brothers of the Wild Boar Gang, and there was really no time to take care of the remote areas on the border.

With Zhou Mo's permission, Ninge came in a hurry and left in a hurry, so he got on his mount, turned around and left!

Zhou Mo, who sat back under the tree again, had no intention of drinking tea anymore, his arm turned into pure gold, feeling the strength that had reached the limit, Zhou Mo became a little distressed.

In the past three days, Zhou Mo has raised his own strength to the peak of fine gold through the experience of realizing the ability to become a viscount in the new fiefdom, and the human physique is no longer the limit of life. , the light clusters of experience in the life field can no longer be realized!

The path from a life in the physical state to a life in the mysterious state is different for everyone, either because of perception, emotion, or grief. The only thing that is certain is that it involves the spiritual level. The accumulation of strength alone has already It is impossible to break through this barrier of life.

There are many records of the life evolution method handed down by noble families. When the breakthrough point of the life state is reached, what the extraordinary people have to do is to relax as much as possible, observe more, and think more!
And these nobles passed down the law of life evolution, the last sentence of this part of the description is always the same: the ancestors of the human race bless you!

Placing hope on the blessing of ancestors shows the slimness and uncertainty of the breakthrough of life state!
At this time, Qian Shu and Chen Yang walked out of the castle, came to Zhou Mo, and said:
"Your Excellency, most of the people in Eagle's Nest are not interested in recruiting your retainers and private soldiers. Those who are capable have all gone to Yingyang City to join Duke Yingyang. They will want to rely on our own people to control them for a while. Zhu Xiongying's nest, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult!"

"Grand Duke Yingyang's taxes on the eagle's nest are very low. Even some farmers don't collect taxes on the newly reclaimed fields. Your Excellency, do you think this taxation matter should be changed?"

Zhou Mo shook his head, waking up from the thoughts of how to break through to the mysterious state, thinking about the issue of the two women.

"Don't move the tax, just keep it as it is!"

Chen Yang nodded, but a bit of worry appeared on her face.

"What's the matter? Are you in financial difficulty?" Zhou Mo asked after seeing Chen Yang's expression.

Chen Yang quickly shook his head and said:
"No, the current financial situation is still very rich, but if the original taxation remains unchanged, I am afraid it will not last long!"

Zhou Mo was silent for a while, then said:

"Don't worry about this. If you have financial difficulties, just tell me and I will solve it myself!"

After saying that, he looked at Qianshu again and said:
"Since the residents in the territory are unwilling, don't force them, just let it go for a while, those people under Fatty are doing well now, I believe that after a period of time, there will be changes!"

A trace of disapproval flashed in Qian Shumei's eyes, and she said:
"Your Excellency, if it was a normal year, it would be reasonable to deal with it this way, but now, the situation in the north is urgent, and the empire is surrounded by crises. The eagle's nest is not only the barrier for the eagle to lead the north, but also the military hub in the south of the empire. The military armed forces , we still need to organize as soon as possible!"

Didn't Zhou Mo know that Qian Shu's words were justified, but the most urgent thing at the moment is time. No one knows how long the nobles outside the white tiger's collar can resist the army of undead who don't need rest or logistics!

At the same time, in the dark forest, those monsters who summoned the undead army have infiltrated into the territory of the human race. According to the habits of these monsters, as long as they reach the place where the human race lives, they can assimilate and transform into many monsters again in a short time!

Once it spreads from the hinterland of the human race, no territory in the entire Otto Empire is safe!

Zhou Mo pondered for a while, glanced at Qianshu, and said lightly:

"Take good care of the manor, don't let any strange faces appear in the manor in the near future, I will take care of things outside!"

Qian Shu was taken aback for a moment, then a look of grievance appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she bowed her head in silence.
