As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

This name doesn't sound like a good place at first sight. According to the news brought back by the spies, it was a famous artillery house in Larnaca City.

If the two of them stayed in the same hotel, they could imagine what would happen with their fingers.

Ron, that damn little bastard, kidnapped not only his most precious daughter, but also his wife. How could there be such a hateful guy in this world?

It can be said without mercy that after learning this piece of information, Holt's hatred for Ron far exceeded that of Apu.

Apu's brain is spinning at super high speed. Killing Ron is the highest priority in Apu's heart, even surpassing his pursuit of power. If Ron cannot be killed, this may become a problem that can haunt him for the rest of his life. The knot in his heart cannot be untied, so he can't even think about making any further progress in his strength.

"I heard that Ron has two other women, Cecilia and Irelia. They are also in Adams now. How about killing these two people and spreading the news. Once Ron gets The news will definitely come over immediately, this guy still attaches great importance to his woman." After thinking carefully, Holt said.

But Apu immediately shook his head: "No, this plan is too dangerous. These two women seemed to have been greatly stimulated after experiencing the disaster in Larnaca City. Cecilia directly turned into a bloody nun. She can control blood. Although she is only at the hero level, it is difficult for low-star legendary masters to match her. As for Irelia, it is even weirder. I don’t even know the origin of the magic she uses, but it is extremely powerful. The most important thing is , these two women have a very close relationship with Christian, if you want to touch these two people, Christian will be alarmed..."

"That bitch has now reached the peak of the legendary level. Even if you and I join forces, we are no match."

After a pause, Apu said: "However, brother Holt, your words reminded me that the women who are closely related to Ron are not just Cecilia and Irelia, but also another person. , that is your daughter Dolores..."

Perhaps because they have a common enemy, these two mortal enemies are now much closer, and even call each other brothers.

As soon as he said this, Holt's face suddenly darkened: "Do you want me to kill my daughter?"

"No, no, no, how could it be possible?" Apu immediately shook his head: "With Ron's character, Delores's niece should be no longer perfect by now, although this is nothing in the upper class society. It’s a big deal, but don’t you think we should discuss the marriage of Lord Loris’ niece earlier?”

"You suppressed the nobles of Granville with the help of Dolores. It's time for Dolores to give up the military power. After the wedding, I think the princess will also be more focused. Coincidentally, I heard that Arianna is currently in seclusion, trying to break through. I'm afraid she won't be able to come out for some time. Don't you think this is a good opportunity?"

Holt understood immediately, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. The reason why Dolores was able to hold the nobles hostage and squeeze out a lot of wealth was indeed the result of his connivance. Even the reason why Dolores bribed the soldiers was Holt's fault. He is extremely indulgent. In his eyes, this eldest daughter is his white glove. It is almost time for Dolores to retire after her success. Otherwise, if time goes by, the army may really be named Dolores. Instead of Holt, and as long as the news of Dolores's marriage reaches Ron's ears, there is no fear that Ron will not come.

As long as Ron shows up, he will naturally be able to think of ways to deal with him.

"That's my precious daughter. Brother Apu, which son-in-law should you choose?" Holt asked with a smile.

"I think... the eldest son of Grand Duke Egbert is a good choice... After all, Grand Duke Egbert also has the strength of a legendary six-star. He should not want his beloved son's marriage to be disrupted, right?"

……

The boat of soul crossing.

Ron was not a true prophet. He didn't know that Apu and Holt had already woven a big net for him, waiting for him to fall into the fire.

Ron, who had just returned from meditation practice, suddenly opened his eyes. Deep in one eye, there was an endless Milky Way, like countless grains of time. Deep in one eye, there was a clock. The pointer moves slowly.

This weird state lasted for a long time, and then slowly dissipated, and Ron's eyes gradually returned to normal.

He exhaled heavily and looked at the Key of Time in his hand with complicated eyes.

The fragment of Ostara is already considered an extremely precious magical secret book, and the gravekeeper's notes may not be much less valuable in Ron's eyes than the fragment of Ostara.

But now, Ron is extremely convinced that the Key of Time is far more precious and powerful than Ostara's fragments and the tombkeeper's notes.

Ron didn't know how long he had been in meditation. He could only vaguely feel that it seemed like a long time had passed.

And during this long period of time, he only understood the first two pages of the Key of Time... And of these two pages, the first page recorded the classification and brief introduction of various powers.

In other words, during this long period of time, all he really mastered was the content of one page.

And this content is only the initial introduction to the practice of time magic, plus the first, easiest to master, and most simple to understand magic recorded in the Key of Time.

Just the difficulty of the study is enough to show how extraordinary the Key of Time is!

Although I still want to study it some more and have the secret eye, I have stayed for too long this time, and Agnes may be anxious outside.

Ron's consciousness gradually sank, and during this second level of time, he went offline!

Chapter 269 The Way to Death (5)

Rempoint.

This is not a prosperous big city, and there are not many customers coming and going. The hotel seems a little empty, and the part-time clerk boss is sitting behind the counter and taking a nap.

It was early morning now. Normally, there would be no customers at this time. Besides, I didn't have any spare money to hire a clerk. I was busy alone until very late last night, and also stayed with the widow at the east end of the town until the late night. I was very tired now, so I took the opportunity to take a nap when there were not many customers.

Unfortunately, the sound of rapid footsteps woke the shop owner from his sleep.

With a start, the shop owner immediately opened his eyes. When he saw several figures appearing in the shop, the turbidity in his eyes disappeared completely in an instant.

The wrinkled face was like a blooming chrysanthemum. It only took less than two seconds to change from sleepy eyes to a full smile. He was indeed professional. He walked out from behind the counter immediately and quickly greeted him: " Military lords, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"

The dark red armor was different from the army the shop owner knew.

But you can tell from the chilling aura on their bodies that these are definitely not a group of beings to be trifled with.

A question instantly appeared in the shop owner's mind. Could these people be under the command of Princess Dolores?

Who doesn’t know what kind of moral character the soldiers of the Kingdom have. Because they have been in arrears with their military pay all year round, those soldiers are all sallow and thin, with dull eyes. How can they have any military spirit?

As for his actual combat ability, it is even more impressive. In a one-on-one fight, he is probably not even comparable to the thugs on the streets.

In the huge Granville Kingdom, perhaps only the guards guarding the palace have a slightly military appearance. However, that was in the past. Ever since Her Royal Highness Princess Dolores took charge of the army, in a short period of time, Granville's army could be said to have taken on a completely new look.

"Eat." The leader of the four soldiers took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to the shop owner: "Just pay for one silver coin."

The shop owner happily took the silver coin and turned around to get ready for food. He confirmed that these were the soldiers under the eldest princess. Although the royal guards in the palace were also very good, those guards never paid for their meals.

Just upstairs, Agnes stood quietly at the window, peeking at the movements below. Her spiritual awareness spread out, and all the movements in the large area around the hotel could not escape Agnes's perception.

Right behind Agnes, there was a man lying quietly on the bed, with his heartbeat and breathing even.

Suddenly, the man's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes. Maybe it took too long for the soul to leave the body this time. The sudden return of the soul made even Ron feel inexplicably uncomfortable. What I saw in front of me was a slightly yellowed ceiling. From the corner of his eye, he could see Agnes standing quietly at the window, motionless. I don't know if it was Ron's illusion, but I always felt that Agnes' figure seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"Agnes, how long have I been asleep this time?" Ron exhaled and asked slowly.

The moment Ron's voice came out, Agnes' body trembled violently, and the magic power that was originally finely controlled suddenly became chaotic.

A familiar yet unfamiliar pretty face appeared in front of Ron's eyes. The cheeks were a little less round and a little more thin. Her blue eyes were full of joy, surprise, and disbelief. Agnes seemed to want to pounce on her, but finally held back, and the thousands of words deep in her heart finally turned into one sentence: "You're awake. "

"Awake." Ron nodded and tried to get up from the bed.

But because the body had been lying down for too long, it had become a little stiff, and it became a little troublesome to control it for a while. At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind blew, and Agnes's figure had quietly appeared on Ron's body. On the other hand, she didn't ask Ron what he was doing when his soul left the body, she just used her slender little hands to help Ron's body.

After a short period of activity and adaptation, Ron gradually returned to normal. He exhaled heavily: "How long have I been asleep?"

"Twenty-eight days." Agnes quickly reported a number.

Ron's face stiffened slightly.

My body lay motionless in bed for twenty-eight days, so it’s no wonder this happened.

Fortunately, Agnes has always been by his side during this long period of time. Otherwise, if the soul leaves the body, the devil knows what will happen, and someone will wipe the neck silently without knowing it.

Although the Soul Ferry Boat is wonderful, it is also too dangerous.

This is the second time this has happened. Next time you enter the Soul Crossing Boat, you must make all kinds of preparations in advance.

Twenty-eight days, put in time, is more than two hundred days. In such a long time, I have only comprehended the content of the first page of the Key of Time, and learned only one magic:

slow!

What is slow is time.

Glancing at Agnes's thin cheeks, Ron felt a little distressed: "It's been a hard time for you."

Agnes smiled gently: "It's nothing. For a practitioner, twenty-eight days are just a fleeting day. I'll wait for you to wash your face first."

With a smile, Agnes turned and left. Not long after, she returned with a basin of clean water and gently wiped Ron's face with a soft towel.

Before she got married, Agnes was a daughter of a noble family. After she got married, although she was banished to the cold palace, she was still a princess. Normally, others would serve her. This was the first time for Agnes to serve others. But she did not feel disgusted at all, and even felt a little happy.

What she wants has never been high position, wealth and wealth. Perhaps this kind of ordinary life of mutual support is the real desire in Agnes' heart. Although she also knew very well that this kind of mediocrity would not last long, and that was the case, so every minute and every second was precious to Agnes.

After washing up, Ron and Agnes walked downstairs for the first time. They hadn't eaten for twenty-eight days, and both Ron and Agnes could feel the hunger in their bellies.

In a small place like Rempoint, the breakfast is quite simple and cannot be compared with the big hotels in Adams. However, Ron and Agnes had a very delicious meal. But before they had even taken a few bites, they suddenly heard something in their ears. A voice came: "Brother, do you think Her Royal Highness the Princess is really going to get married this time?"

Ron just picked it up and the dry bread that was about to be brought to his mouth suddenly stopped.

Two seconds later, Ron silently put down the dry bread, stood up, and walked towards the soldiers. Seeing Ron's actions, Agnes, who was holding Lucia, smiled helplessly. She knew that the ordinary days would not last long, but she did not expect things to come so quickly. However, it was precisely because of this that she liked this man more. After all, no one wants her lover to be a heartless person.

Now that her husband has made a decision, as a wife, she only needs to silently support him behind the scenes.

Before they knew it, Ron had appeared in front of the soldiers. Seeing Ron's figure, the soldiers shut their mouths one by one, because they didn't know what Ron's purpose was. They could clearly feel some vigilance in their eyes: "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Haha, it's nothing. I just heard from some military lords that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is getting married?" Ron laughed and said, "I dare to ask, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, but Her Royal Highness Delores?"

"It's natural. Is there a second eldest princess in our Kingdom of Granville?" A soldier glanced at Ron with some contempt, his eyes seemed to say where did this bumpkin come from, and he was actually the company commander princess? Your Highness doesn’t even know.

Ron was also a little embarrassed, thinking that he, a great prophet and even Vice-Pope Apu, was despised by a few soldiers.

However, Dolores's methods are really good. Look at the soldiers in front of her, they look decent. Ron has not forgotten how shocked he was when he saw the army of the Kingdom of Granville in the game. What kind of soldiers are they? They are just a group of refugees.

Some thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. Ron's expression remained unchanged, and he waved to the shop owner to bring him a few more bottles of good wine. He moved a chair and sat directly next to him.

For the sake of a few bottles of good wine, these soldiers ignored Ron's familiar behavior. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess is now in charge of the military. Although the soldiers' military pay is paid in full, the previous arrears of military pay have also been paid. Make up the full amount. However, the soldiers' pay is very small. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess has been raised a little, it is still not too much. The bottles of wine that Ron just ordered at random cost several silver coins each. This is not what small soldiers like them can do. Affordable.

After a few glasses of wine, the faces of these soldiers were also bright red, and when they looked at Ron, they became more and more pleasing to the eye.

After all, although Her Royal Highness the Princess has improved the status of soldiers, it is still short-lived. In the Kingdom of Granville, there are still many people who look down on soldiers. Except for the royal guards of the palace, most of the soldiers still have no status. of.

Men are most likely to get along best in a drinking place. This is true on Earth as well as on the Dusk Continent. As the drunkenness set in, these soldiers started to talk.

"Bah, don't look at what kind of person our eldest princess is. She is noble, elegant and beautiful, with good figure and strong ability. If our eldest princess can inherit the throne in the future, then the people of Granville may really be able to live a better life. Good times.”

"The eldest son of the Egbert family may sound like he has a noble status, but in fact he has a notorious reputation. Even if I am stationed at the border, I have heard of this guy's name. There are thirty-six brothels in Adams. Everyone is a diamond member..."

"In one year, the number of women from good families who have been harmed will be eighty if not one hundred. Is this kind of thing worthy of our eldest princess?"

"Damn it, I think it's just that old Biden of Holt 474, and the two useless things, the first and second princes, who want to take advantage of this opportunity to take back the military power from Her Royal Highness the Princess. After all, according to Granville's rules, once a woman gets married, she becomes an outsider and naturally loses the right to inherit the throne. Moreover, as an outsider, she naturally cannot control the army."

"We soldiers have only lived a good life for a few days. Once that old man Holt 474 takes back the military power, who will pay us military salaries in the future? Damn it, even those who died on the battlefield will probably be No one helps us collect the bodies."

"Bah, a bunch of people who eat people's food and don't do anyone's business. What kind of treatment do we soldiers get on weekdays? When we encounter beasts, young gods, or even foreign invasions, we think of us..."

Ron smiled and said nothing at the complaints of these soldiers.

It was obvious that these soldiers were full of complaints against the upper echelons of the Granville Kingdom.

Even if the 474th Holt could remove the military power from Dolores, he might not be able to win back the morale of the army.

However, the old man Holt 474 was still thinking about marrying Dolores off. This alone was the reason for his death.

Chapter 270 Just run over (1)

Ron's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light.

Dolores is his, no one can take it away from her.

Holt 474 tried to marry off Dolores again and again. This old guy was really tired of living, or was the lesson learned last time not enough?

And who is Egbert?

I can't remember it for a moment... Could it be that this guy was suddenly born for some reason, similar to the Andre family? Guardian of destiny?

Also, there has always been Arianna beside Dolores. This Valkyrie can be said to compete with Christian for the number one spot in the kingdom in the entire Granville.

It is precisely because of the existence of Arianna that Ron can safely let Dolores carry out that series of plans. If Arianna exists, as long as Dolores is not willing, I am afraid that Holt 470 There is no way in the fourth life to force Dolores, right?

Could it be that something unexpected happened in the middle?

Ron has an advantage, that is, he asks when he doesn't understand. Taking a sip of wine, Ron slowly said, "But isn't Princess Dolores in charge of the army now? How dare that old man Holt attack the princess?"

"Furthermore, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess is always protected by an expert..."

"Hey, little brother, I didn't expect you to be a sensible person." It was obvious that the title of Old Holt was very appealing to these soldiers.

After all, they had been soldiers for so many years and had not received any military pay. These soldiers had almost zero loyalty to Granville and the Holt royal family.

At this time, even the leading soldier, who was originally quiet, was a little drunk. He patted Ron on the shoulder and said, "You are talking about Lady Arianna, right? She is a Valkyrie. Almost no one in Granville can match her."

"If Arianna is still with Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, she will naturally not worry about these calculations."

"But I heard that about a month and a half ago, Miss Arianna suddenly had some realizations. I'm not sure what the situation was, but I heard that Miss Arianna stood in the yard for an entire afternoon, staring at the sky without moving, and only woke up when night fell. As soon as she woke up, she announced that she would go into seclusion."

"If Miss Arianna succeeds in seclusion and successfully breaks through, then perhaps we, Granville... no, may be the only one in the entire Twilight Continent for thousands of years, other than saints and blasphemers, to step into destruction. A strong person in the realm.”

"This matter is related to Miss Arianna's future. With the temperament of Princess Dolores, how could she stop Miss Arianna for her own safety?"

a month and a half ago.

Ron's lips trembled slightly. At that time, he was still in the Twilight Temple. Although the specific time was difficult to determine,... he was stimulated by the diary left by Senior Zhou Yang, and then had a glimpse of the fate that fate imposes on every living being in the Twilight Continent. The shackles must have been during that time.

Could it be that it was because he had glimpsed the shackles of fate, which then caused certain chain reactions. For example, those beings who allowed the world to practice their own strength to the extreme, such as Christian and Arianna, were aware of the existence of this shackles. Can't?

And Arianna went into seclusion to practice, could it be said that she was trying to cut off this chain?

He was somewhat looking forward to it, wondering whether Arianna could cut off this chain.
