"This spiritual power is really fragrant."

Ryan discovered something.

Five stars is just the upper limit of the career mark, not the upper limit of character growth.

For the same attribute growth level, different characters will have different upgrade bonuses. Generally, characters with high initial talents will also have quite good bonuses after changing jobs.

For example, the mental power of 'Weinei' and the magic power of 'Lin Qi' both grow at five stars, but the values ​​are just a little higher.

"It's a pity that I don't have a professional weapon. I haven't been able to get a staff in such a long time."

The soul singer with a gun is here to extradite your soul!

boom!

Physical extradition.

There were no more undead being born in the cemetery. On the way back, 'Weine' saw Yao Shou and fired bullets immediately, causing the latter's health to drop significantly.

The contrast between before and after the job change is obvious, but because 'Weinei' is not a strong attack profession, there is no such cool killing scene as 'Lin Qi' and 'Xia Li', especially 'Xia Li', who can kill with a bloodthirsty enhanced greatsword and split a person in half with one sword, and the blood splashing out is more than tomato juice.

"Soul control."

'Weinei' raised her hand and used soul control on a Harrier Guardian. The latter began to struggle due to the pull. The process lasted for about three seconds, and the system prompted 'Soul control failed'.

"Failed, does that mean there's hope of success?"

After the skill refreshed, 'Weinei' continued to use soul control, and it was not until the fourth time that she finally succeeded.

[You have subdued Harrier Guard Level 18.]

[Currently controllable number of souls: 1/6.]

Ryan was stunned, and he was really subdued.

Good guy, Pokémon Master.

At this time, an icon appeared in the personal character column of 'Weinei', which was the mini version of the Yaoshou who had just been subdued.

After clicking release, Yao Shou appears and can act according to the instructions of "Weinei".

"They have similar abilities to the Blood Knight's Blood Mercenaries, but their existence is shorter and their abilities are much weaker than before their death."

The captured Harrier was still at level 18, with no changes to its attributes. 'Weinei' commanded it to fight for a while, and then continued to use soul control to capture the second Harrier.

"I can tame six in total. I wonder if I can increase the number after advancing. If I can, that would be awesome."

Ryan's thoughts turned, and he saw that the soul collection status displayed that the progress had reached 60%, and then the skill effect also lit up.

"Soul released."

The release effect is not directed at 'Weinei', but at Yaoshou.

The next moment, Yao Shou, who had been blessed with soul enhancement, entered a violent state, rushed into the group of monsters and started killing them all.

"This is the correct way to open the soul singer." Ryan's eyes lit up.

Control, subdue, strengthen, the auxiliary effects are maximized. He suspects that there will be other enhanced skills in the future advancements, such as mental barriers, soul healing and the like.

Moreover, although it is an auxiliary positioning, the word magic combined with the soul control effect can cause considerable damage to extraordinary people.

Directly attack the soul, don’t you think it’s powerful?

If you can subdue a few more powerful souls to assist in battle, you can also use them as a summoner.

"I didn't expect psychic classes to be so powerful. No wonder they're rarely seen in games."

Ryan planned to put the Ring of Death on 'Vene'. After all, no matter how powerful her ability was, it couldn't change her fragile nature. Once she was targeted by an assassin, she would be easily killed instantly.

"First, collect all the soul control."

...

after an hour.

'Vine' left the cemetery and returned to Los Town.

"Good afternoon, my Lord."

"Hello, Lord."

"Master Venetian, you are here."

Along the way, the people of Los Town saw "Weinei" appear and stood on both sides respectfully to greet her.

There was a bit of friendliness and respect in the respect, which was different from the way the people in Berman City looked when they saw the nobles appear.

Big cities have their advantages, but the people in small places are simple and honest. Of course, this is mainly related to the way "Weinei" governs the territory.

“It seems to be quite popular among the people.”

Ryan rubbed his chin.

Honestly speaking, even if he were to manage the territory, he wouldn't necessarily be able to do better than 'Weinei' is doing now.

The times and backgrounds are different. We cannot just copy the old ways. Even if it is really for the good of the people, we must pay attention to the method.

For example, in Berman City, if they wanted to de-poorize, the native aristocrats would be kind enough to make the poor disappear on their own initiative. Ryan, on the other hand, would definitely not set up a workers' union or a cross to protect their rights; that would only provoke conflict and make life more difficult. Those aristocrats might allow you to feed the poor steamed buns, but they would never allow you to eat with them.

As for how to strike this balance, Ryan doesn't have much experience yet, so he can only try step by step. From this point of view, the AI ​​AFK is even more awesome than him.

When 'Weine' returned to the castle, the housekeeper told her that there were guests.

It was a young man wearing blue aristocratic clothes.

"Hello, Baron Vinet, my name is Thomas, and I'm also a baron of the territory of Kells. Nice to meet you." Thomas saluted Vinet like a gentleman.

"Hello, Baron Thomas." 'Vine' returned the greeting.

Compared to the aloof Lin Qi, Wei Nei was clearly much more polite. If Lin Qi had been in this situation, he would have simply glanced at her and asked, "Thomas, who?"

Ryan was a little confused about the other party's intentions. When the two of them came to the reception room to talk, Thomas told them his purpose.

He came to ask 'Vine' not to attend Viscount Mars's banquet tomorrow night.

“This is a token of my appreciation.”

Thomas took out a purse and said with a smile.

【30 gold coins.】

"Wow, you're so rich."

At this moment, Ryan became curious. A small baron cost 30 gold?

You know, although 'Vene' is not rich, a baron of such a small territory will not be rich even if you squeeze all the oil out of him. Thomas is obviously aiming for the position of viscount. The other party may be able to save enough money to compete, but if he spends so lavishly just to eliminate a competitor, then there is a problem.

In the entire territory of Kells, how many people are capable of competing for the title?

If everyone were to receive one like this, it would be a huge expense.

Ryan really wanted to say, brother, you really think highly of me. 30 gold coins are as much as 'Weine's' savings.

This is either pure idiocy or a sudden fortune, otherwise it is questionable.

It's not that Ryan is suspicious, because the sale of titles also has requirements. The aristocratic circle has its own rules. The target of the title transfer is generally required to be a noble. In other words, if Viscount Malte wants to sell his title, the person he invites can only be a baron.

For a commoner, even a wealthy businessman, to take this step, he would have to pay a price far higher than buying a title.

They first have to become barons, which is the most difficult step, so even if wealthy businessmen have money, it is difficult to cross this class.

Class! The class in people's hearts is a huge mountain!

This step has already screened out enough competitors, so those who are left with the title of baron can be further screened with a little calculation. In this broken place like Kyles, there will definitely not be more than three barons who can produce one or two thousand gold coins.

"This is a determination to get the position of Lord Kyles." Ryan rubbed his chin and thought. He thought he had it almost certain, but he didn't expect Thomas to suddenly appear.

Even Vine has been found, and the other barons have probably been bribed as well.

I haven't heard much about this person before. He is so rich, so he must not be an ordinary person.

If you have so much money, wouldn’t it be better to go to the mainland and buy a better one?

"Why doesn't Mr. Thomas go directly to Viscount Mars?" asked 'Vine'.

"I'd like to do the same, but unfortunately his invitation has already been sent out." Thomas said with some regret, "I like this place very much. When I become the lord, I will not change it. You can still live a stable life in your own territory."

"Thank you for your generosity."

Ryan decided to accept the thirty gold coins.

Then I'll go tomorrow.

Don’t refuse the money that is offered to you. The relationship between competitors is certain anyway.

He wanted to see what this guy was up to.

......

"What a headache! Luckily, Magna gave me 2,000 gold coins, otherwise it would probably not be enough."

After turning off the game, Ryan rubbed his temple. He was absolutely certain that Thomas had ulterior motives in buying the territory. If he included the "gifts" given to each eligible baron, at a viscount's rank of two thousand gold coins, the total cost would be at least three thousand gold.

With so much money, he could easily go to the mainland and buy a viscount, where the environment is good and he is not threatened by war.

From the perspective of the interests of the nobles, this kind of losing business is not something a normal noble would do. Ryan guessed that it was some powerful guy in the imperial capital who intervened. First it was Casradi, then Maganna, and the second prince was also there. The entire southern part of the empire was in chaos.

But the title must be obtained, otherwise "Vene" will be confined to the small corner of Los Town. Ryan has considered flying away to other places, but he is a little worried about the character being too far away. After all, raising a small account means having more people against fewer people, and a mixed multiplayer style of play can show advantages at critical moments.

Anyway, the city of Berman is in his hands now. As long as Kasradi gives up power and with Maganna's support, the control of the southern border of the empire will be within his reach.

Therefore, it is best for 'Weinei' to stay nearby and develop.

Moreover, if there really is someone who wants to interfere with the land of the South Realm, Ryan will definitely find him out, otherwise he will not be able to sleep well.

Just as he was thinking about it, the secretary informed him that Her Royal Highness the Princess had arrived.

"Ryan."

Casradi brought Eco into the room.

"Your Highness, is there anything you need from me?"

"Yes, I'm planning to go to Kosotoya. I'll leave the Berman City situation to you."

Ah this.

Ryan thought, "How embarrassing! Are you leaving now? Why don't you just go back to the capital? I'll help you out here."

"My father has granted me the three border cities. Now that the situation in Berman City has stabilized, I feel reassured with you here." Kasladi sighed softly, "But I'm worried about Kosothoa and Nad City. I'm afraid they won't accept me so easily, so I need to go there as soon as possible."

While the old emperor's order was still in effect, Kasladi prepared to set off immediately. If it weren't for the disaster that Berman City had experienced before, she would have been in Kosotoya by now.

"When will Your Highness depart?"

"We'll be leaving soon. I'll bring five hundred royal guards with me."

Ryan frowned: "So fast? Aren't five hundred people too few?"

Kasradi chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm not going to fight. Besides, Maganna's Iron Blood Legion is still there, and the Royal Guards need to keep an eye on them."

Your Highness, your smile is a bit bitter.

Yes, there are wolves in front and tigers behind, and Casradi is really miserable.

Although the old emperor gave the order, there were always people who were not convinced because the emperor was far away.

I'm just going to stay here and wait for the old emperor to die. Who will care about what orders he gave before?

Ryan thought of Viscount Avik. Maganna had said proudly before that the guy had surrendered. Now it would definitely not be smooth sailing for Kasradi to take over Kosothoa.

But Ryan couldn't do anything. The Grand Duke's kindness was too great, so he could only let the princess down. It's not easy to be loyal.
