Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 1116

[Chapter 1113 Kingdom]

Lancaster Castle.

Middle-aged Aaron walked in swaggeringly.

“Mr. Aaron!”

The two guards guarding the door quickly bowed their heads and saluted.

Aaron had a cold face and didn’t respond at all.

Then, he came to the dungeon at the bottom of the castle.

There were many people imprisoned in the cold, dark dungeon at this time.

Especially in the innermost position, inside the thick iron fence, two demon hunters covered in bruises appeared in large letters and were tied to a wooden frame.

Jaeger held a red-hot iron in his hand and withdrew his hand in a daze.

“Your Majesty the Earl…”

Aaron bowed slightly and saluted.

correct!

Yeager was already an earl at this time!

As for Rudd? After the former Viscount fell into the river and drowned due to drunkenness, several of his sons also had accidents…

Then, his brother Jaeger became Viscount Lancaster!

After this war madman came to power, he immediately started a new round of demands for surrounding territories, and then expanded his territory to become the Earl of Lancaster, who played an important role in the entire Rogge Kingdom!

As a well-known herbalist in the territory, Aaron was naturally recruited by the Earl.

After all, Jaeger has been recruiting various bachelors and herbalists in order to study the power of demon hunters.

As long as those who prove capable will be promoted and reused by him, they will even be rewarded!

It has to be said that he is a qualified leader and has a certain degree of leadership charisma.

As a free citizen in the territory, it would be strange to refuse.

Aaron then applied for the job together with other herbalists, and gradually stood out… Of course, many talents also emerged among the other herbalists and bachelors.

Aaron controls his own excellence and maintains it at the top level without being irreplaceable.

“Aaron…I specially left two demon hunters as your experimental subjects.”

Yeager said nonchalantly: “You and Stryker can use them as much as you like… To improve the success rate of the trial again. The auxiliary medicine… As long as you succeed, I will reward you heavily.”

He still trusted Aaron and Stryker.

These two herbalism masters not only improved the success rate of his demon hunters’ advancement, but also helped him become a master demon hunter.

But in fact…

Aaron has hidden a lot of special skills!

It can be regarded as a good example of beating workers to deceive the boss!

“This… In addition to using demon hunters as experiments, I also need secret information from various schools… especially the Shadow Dragon School! It is said that the founder of this school is one of the oldest demon hunters. They may Know more!”

Aaron looked embarrassed.

“The Shadow Dragon School does have some troubles…but this time I also eliminated their master demon hunter. Don’t worry…the relevant information will be sent to you soon.”

Yeager smiled.

“Thank you, Your Excellency, Earl. I believe that there must be a higher realm than the master demon hunter!”

Aaron’s eyes seemed to sparkle with the spark of ambition.

Under Yeager, he mainly studied issues above the Demon Hunter Master.

In fact, in secret, he is constantly absorbing the knowledge that Yeager has obtained from the classics of various schools, and occasionally uses his subordinates as test subjects. Yeager seems happy to see this…

As for Stryker? He is another master of herbal medicine. Because his research directions overlap, he can be regarded as Aaron’s direct competitor.

Because of this, the relationship between the two of them is not very good.

Among them, there are also reasons why Jaeger deliberately provoked it.

Letting the subordinates be divided into several factions to fight with each other is also an ancient ruling wisdom of a feudal prince.

But Aaron doesn’t care, as long as there are enough resources to provide him with research.

Relying on Jaeger’s foundation, he had completed all preparations for his attack on Red Mountain.

Not only that, through the gains from annihilating the major demon hunter schools this time, we will have more confidence to attack the Blood Prison in the future.

“Lord Yeager!”

At this moment, Stryker, wearing a gray robe, an iron ring necklace, and few hairs on his head, also arrived: “The demon hunters of other schools are extremely precious resources, and we cannot give them all away. Master Aaron, I have an experiment on hand. Once it succeeds…”

“Ahem!” Aaron coughed: “Master Stryker… your experiments always happen unexpectedly. Such a precious sample cannot be used. I will die in your hands…”

“You!” Stryker glared at Aaron. He was also very dissatisfied with this Aaron. He thought that the other person was full of decadent craftsmanship and did not understand the value of his unrestrained thinking. .

“You two don’t have to fight… there will always be samples.”

At the critical moment, Jaeger came out to smooth things over. He didn’t want the overt and covert fighting among his subordinates to exceed a certain limit.

And…are there very few demon hunters from other schools?

He was planning to train several teams of demon hunters from outside the Viper School to use as special operations teams.

At that time, there will be as many test samples as you want!

Aaron and Stryker looked at each other and lowered their gazes.

…

After Yeager left, Aaron and Stryker exchanged some words with each other, and then separated.

In fact, he felt that this bad old man was very bad! It’s not as brainless as it seems. Maybe she deliberately tried to have a bad relationship with him.

Sigh… Who makes the boss not like the people below him to mingle with each other?

‘These days, no one should treat anyone as a fool…’

Aaron sighed as he walked out of the dungeon.

Lancaster Castle has a large interior and a nice garden.

At this time, several young people were competing in the garden.

They were all Jaeger’s children—in name only.

For the demon hunter lord, if he wants to dominate the world, heirs are ultimately a big problem.

A vassal without heirs could not guarantee the descendants and rights of his vassals.

Childlessness reduces loyalty!

As a hero, Jaeger will naturally not ignore this.

A long time ago, it was announced that his wife and her lover had given birth to many children, and they had all been raised in the castle.

It’s just that the mortality rate of midwives is a bit high…

“Seamus, you lose again!”

At this time, in the garden, a young man in his twenties was knocking a young man to the ground with a wooden sword, laughing loudly. .

Seamo, who was knocked to the ground, had unwillingness in his eyes.

After all, it’s not that he doesn’t feel sorry for his son. Yeager practices wolf education, or raising gu.

Encourage your sons to fight among themselves and then compete to identify the best among them.

As for how many of them died or were crippled, he didn’t care at all.

Aaron smiled at these teenagers and said hello.

Children must be nurtured from an early age.

Although it is not needed now, it certainly has advantages to show kindness to future heirs.

‘Jaeger… is not a good monarch. ‘

‘Once he has murderous intentions, he will definitely kill me, even if it’s just to keep a secret…’

‘So… after a certain number of years, do you want to fake death and escape? ‘

‘Then… he would join the service of one of his sons and continue to enjoy the life of a dozen workers? ‘

Aaron is really reluctant to part with the research environment here.

Relying on a large number of captured witcher inheritances, his new witcher meditation method has been mostly completed.

It is even possible to pass the Red Mountain Trial and be promoted to Master Demon Hunter.

But the ‘Blood Prison’ that followed was completely in a realm of fantasy.

To reach this point, he needs more test subjects and more support!

‘The resources of a county are not enough anymore…’

‘I need more resources! ‘

…

Rogg Kingdom.

Fred III, in his seventeenth year on the throne.

The old king who ruled the kingdom died of illness, leaving only a seven-year-old child.

After a trip to the royal capital, Jaeger came back with the flames of ambition in his eyes: “This is… the best opportunity!”

He has been waiting and enduring…

But before, the Lancaster family The expansion has already made many established nobles in the kingdom dissatisfied.

They claim to be ancient aristocrats, with noble bloodline, long history and tradition. They are completely different from the nouveau riche of small aristocrats like Lancaster.

As for the common people below the minor nobles?

Sorry…that’s not a human at all!

In Eastern terms, Lancaster, a small noble from a poor family, has been suppressed by the powerful nobles and has been vaguely restricted, with no room for development.

As for the real ordinary people from poor families in ancient times, they were not worthy of attention.

This is true no matter what.

In order to break through this restriction, any diplomatic means are useless, and a war of blood and fire must be passed!

At this time, Aaron also noticed this.

He decided to help Jaeger so that the other party could invest more resources in him.

So he found Jaeger.

“Lord Earl, the latest black iron potion has been developed!”

In the study, Aaron was reporting on the progress of his work.

“What?”

Jaeger stood up in surprise and looked at Aaron.

“Through the classics of various schools, I have developed a balanced black iron potion. After taking it and becoming a demon hunter, the physique, strength, and speed will be 1.5 times that of ordinary people. It is quite balanced and weakened… Thanks to this, the success rate has increased to about 50%!”

Aaron said: “At the same time, I have also improved the basic tempering potion to make its medicinal properties milder and the required herbs less precious. …”

These are the basis for cultivating demon hunters on a large scale.

“Okay!”

Yeager slammed the table excitedly: “I will give you ten people to train and test. Once you succeed, I will appoint you as the chief bachelor!”

For him, the weakened version of the Balanced Demon Hunter is the most important part of the hunter team. The best soldier in the Demon Legion.

As for those original demon hunters, they can serve as captains or even special forces.

“Thank you, Earl!”

Aaron made an excited expression.

In fact, he didn’t have any trouble at all about it.

He even knew that with his stimulation and a little hint in the dark, Stryker would soon catch up and give Jaeger a big gift as well.

That is the speculation about a higher realm than the master demon hunter…

It is necessary to make Stryker’s reputation greater, surpass his own, and then hide under the other party’s glory…

…

Fred IV, In the second year of his ascension to the throne.

Earl Yeager of Lancaster directly launched a rebellion.

His army of demon hunters was unstoppable, defeating the king’s army with less and more.

Finally, the demon hunter army invaded the royal capital and captured King Fred IV.

Yeager directly appointed himself as the prime minister of the kingdom, and then ordered the remaining nobles who had raised troops to retreat, taking the opportunity to divide these nobles of the kingdom.

Finally, they were defeated one by one calmly.

Five years after Fred IV ascended the throne, the entire Rogue Kingdom had surrendered to Yeager.

And the reputation of his powerful demon hunter army spread even outside the kingdom.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he violently forced Fred IV to abdicate, passed the crown to himself, and established the Kingdom of Lancaster!

…

the royal capital.

In order to celebrate the establishment of the Kingdom of Lancaster, the new king Jaeger I specially held a tournament.

Wandering knights from all over the kingdom can show their skills here, and the champion can obtain a virtual fief.

This caused the Royal Capital to become even more lively than before, and the people coming and going were full of business opportunities, making the merchants of the Royal Capital make a lot of money.

Aaron got off the carriage, threw out a gold coin and threw it to the girls on the carriage.

The girls smiled coquettishly and blew him a kiss.

“Master Aaron, by the order of His Majesty the King, you will live in the institute from now on.”

Two expressionless demon hunters came to Aaron and said in a cold voice: “Because there are foreign spies and assassins, from now on Starting today, the two of us will be responsible for your safety.”

“Okay.”

Aaron seemed to have no feelings about this and accepted the arrangement calmly.

‘This Jaeger… most likely wants to kill the donkey, no, bah bah bah, I’m not a donkey…’

The research institute is a renovated school before the kingdom. It has good facilities and a large library. .

In order for these scholars to study as much as they can, Jaeger even moved the royal collection of books here.

Inside the library.

Two demon hunters guarded the door like sculptures.

Aaron pulled out an old and yellowed “Noble Articles and Royal Bloodline Map” and read it with interest.

In fact, he has completed most of the research using the gains gained from Yeager’s wars in the north and south over the years.

At this time, I was already thinking about how to exit the game gracefully.

Well…a fire that ended with a charred corpse was enough.

Anyway, with the miserable criminal investigation techniques of this era, is it possible to identify that the charred corpse is not his?

At this moment, in the library, Stryker, who was also accompanied by a witcher bodyguard, walked in.

He looked at the books on the bookshelf, and then at the ancient yellowed book in Aaron’s hand: “Master Aaron… are you looking at such a rotten thing?”

“Actually… tracing back the bloodline of nobles and kings, it can be said that I discovered many interesting things.”

Aaron laughed.

“I’m not interested in these. After completing his great deeds, our king has set his sights on a warlock… Maybe we will soon be able to get a warlock as a test subject. That is mine. !”

Stryker declared confidently.

“I’m looking forward to it…”

Aaron smiled back.
