Chapter 204 Bribery

There were rumors in the city about the extermination of the two noble families, and there were all kinds of speculations and gossips.

Most ordinary people said that it was done by the army. Many people swore that the evidence was irrefutable and that it was said by the warden Negher at the scene.

Only the upper-class forces who really knew a little about the inside story knew that things were not that simple.

Although the Xiangmu City Legion acted arrogantly, they would not dare to massacre the imperial nobles even if they had ten guts.

There was also a small group of people who looked at the Soros Manor on the outskirts of the city.

These people knew the grievances between the three families, and they saw the knights of the Soros family at the scene last night, but they were just very curious why the army was involved.

Lu He didn't know that the army took part of the blame for him, but he didn't care if he knew.

He walked out of the laboratory building refreshed in the morning.

First, he meditated as usual, and then went to the restaurant for breakfast. During the breakfast, he was unmoved by the half-elf's white eyes.

After breakfast, Rudy came to report that all the spoils had been counted.

So he took the half-elf and Nicole to check it out.

The light in the early morning was bright, and the air was faintly filled with a wisp of white mist. On the green lawn of the manor, there were large carriages loaded with goods parked one after another, filling the open space in the middle.

There was also a group of knights chatting around the lawn, and everyone's face was full of joy.

"Yerrit, where did you go last night?" Comanche put his beloved scimitar on his waist and folded his hands.

This scimitar was given to him by the adults because he saw that he had good knife skills. It was said to be a treasure of the Soros family.

The knife was enchanted, and he loved it very much. He wanted to sleep with it every day. In the tribe, even the big family did not have such an enchanted weapon, only the sacrificial elder had a staff.

Yerrit tied her hair up high, wearing tight black sleeveless leather armor, revealing her white arms, and water-polished white skinny pants that fully highlighted the curves of her hips and legs.

"I'm helping the adults do experiments." She answered with a smile, without revealing any flaws.

"Alas...what a pity." Comanche sighed slightly after hearing this, with a look of regret on his face.

"But why are you here too?"

Yerrit pouted and didn't reply.

She knew what Comanche was regretting. Just now, the Lord notified all the knights who participated in last night's action to come here, saying that they would be rewarded for their bravery.

As for why she came here, Yerrit didn't know either. It was Nicole, the Lord's personal maid, who notified her.

"Yili, you should be able to get a lot of rewards." Seeing that Yerrit ignored him, Comanche felt bored, and then looked at Yili, who was a head taller than him, and said enviously.

Among the four of them, Yili had the most fruitful results last night, tearing three high-level knight attendants with his hands.

He only killed one high-level knight attendant, plus two mid-level ones, because he ran slowly.

"Because I am the Lord's most powerful warrior." Yili touched the back of his head with his ten-inch big hand and smiled honestly.

As soon as these words came out, Comanche frowned and rubbed the handle of the knife with his right hand, showing a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

Yili glanced at him, and the muscles on his thigh-thick arms instantly twisted and knotted, hard as steel, and the black lines on the surface wriggled like earthworms, like a giant python.

"I am!"

Yerrit's cold voice sounded.

At this moment, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.

Everyone stopped chatting, looked solemn, and looked towards the distant path with reverent eyes.

The tense atmosphere between the few people suddenly relaxed.

Lu He came over.

Rudy walked beside him and introduced the specific amount of this harvest to him.

"Master, the spoils have been sorted. Two carriages of gold coins, a total of 320,000 gold coins."

"Ten carriages of silver coins, a total of more than 3 million, and three carriages of various gems and spices. The value has not been calculated yet, but it should not be less than 1 million gold coins."

"Ten carriages of fine armor and weapons, all of which are fine products from major weapon workshops in Black Refining City."

"There are also two carriages of various training resources, mainly knight attendants, and a small number of knights."

"Finally, there are collections in the two secret rooms. I can't tell what they are, so I packed them all up and brought them back."

Lu He nodded with satisfaction.

No wonder so many people ran to become bandits, and there are many knights among them. It's really too easy to make money.

The Soros family's spice processing factory can't make back the money from these seized gold and silver materials even if it runs for ten years.

But Lu He will not admit that he is a bandit. He just takes revenge and collects some interest.

"Put those collections in my laboratory, and put the rest in the warehouse after you divide them." Lu He ordered.

After that, he came to the high platform, looked around the enthusiastic family knights and warriors below, and said slowly:

"I won't say much nonsense, rewards according to merit, you can take half of the silver and gold coins here, Ente and Rudy will distribute them according to your military exploits last night, if you feel it is unfair, you can come to me."

"There are also some who didn't go, of course, it will be less."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the audience cheered loudly, no one didn't like money, and so much money.

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

"I, Sangbu Yataba, swear to be loyal to the sir!"

"Long live the sir! Long live the Soros family!"

"Awoo...!"

Lu He chuckled. He didn't like money and had no idea about money.

Cultivation resources that he likes that are helpful to him.

Among all the trophies, he was a little more concerned about the collection, just to see if he could get something good.

But he didn't hold out much hope, because he had already rummaged through the Soros family's collection, which contained some enchanted weapons and equipment, but he couldn't find anything useful to him.

Therefore, instead of piling this money in a warehouse to get moldy and smelly, it is better to send it out to win people's hearts.

Although these people are either his family knights or first-level warriors whose souls he has imprinted, they all eat from him, drink from him, use his food, and obey him.

But as a conscientious wizard, he still paid them wages. After all, they were working for him.

Another reason is that the number of first-level transcendences that his mental power can control is really limited.

Because fundamentally speaking, he is also a first-level transcendent, at the same level as them. He can control them because of his strong mental power, the specialness of the Black Hell Peacock Soul Seed, and the power of the Soul Spell of Pale Seal.

Now count them out.

Twelve earth fire soldiers, five totem warriors, he has controlled seventeen extraordinary beings of the same level.

After regaining his strength, Lu He estimates that he can control about ten people at most, and he will reach his limit. It is not impossible to continue to control, but it will affect his own state.

Especially during combat, the negative effects deepen.

Therefore, it is still necessary to properly win people's hearts. People such as Mark, Fleet, and Ent are extremely loyal to him and the Soros family and do not need to be controlled at all.

But he didn't expect that he could make these people completely devoted to him and do it easily just by relying on money.

Not short of money anyway.

Of course, Lu He can also be controlled by other methods that do not consume himself, such as curses, poisons, etc., just like the believer of the Three-Eyed Cult he controlled before.

There are two reasons why this was not done.

First, there are not many choices.

There are only a few curses and poisons that are effective against first-level extraordinary beings, and not many can be cast under the current conditions.

Second, it feels unreliable.

This point is actually the most important, because there are many people who are afraid of death, but there are also many who are not afraid of death. If you believe in this method too much, you might go crazy and stab you in the back one day.

After much deliberation and weighing, Lu He felt that the Seal of Distortion was the best, simple and direct.

After the number of controls reaches your limit, you can then use curses or poisons.

Soul control, life threats, buying people's hearts.

Walking on three legs is not very stable.

"Master, do I have a reward? Nicole helps you cook, clean and wash clothes every day."

After he walked down surrounded by knights, the little maid came up and whispered.

Nicole wears a pink lace dress, with her upper and lower bodies connected together, and black cotton pantyhose on her legs, which perfectly highlights her youthful and energetic body.

Lu He laughed dumbly and said, "Yes, of course there is little Nicole's share."

"It's true! Thank you, Master!"

Nicole was very happy, her face flushed with excitement. She had not received a reward for a long time. The last time was at the farm in Highland City, the young master rewarded her with five gold coins.

Lu He rubbed Nicole's little head, picked up a silver coin from the box of the carriage next to her and put it in her hand.

Nicole was stunned for a moment.

It was much less than she imagined. She thought there was at least one gold coin, but she never expected that it was only one-tenth.

Seeing her dumbfounded look, the surrounding knights burst into laughter.

Ent saw that the head of the house was teasing Nicole, but he noticed that Nicole's little mouth was slightly curled up and her sapphire eyes were filled with water.

He thought for a while, grabbed a handful of gold coins from the box and stuffed it into Nicole's pocket, and said loudly: "This handful of gold coins will be deducted from my share later. Is everyone okay?"

"Haha, no problem."

"Ent Knight, no need to deduct it, it's everyone's!"

"Yes, it's everyone's fault!"

Nicole covered her pocket, held back her tears, and said with a smile:

"Thank you Uncle Ent, thank you knights!"

Lu He couldn't help but smile, and when he was about to leave, he saw the envious eyes of the half-elf next to him.

He suddenly remembered that Selya had no income since she followed him.

It is pure white dry.

She used to be able to earn some extra money occasionally while working for the Savoy family, but now she has nothing.

On the way here, she wanted to buy some gifts for the tribe at the Solida Caravan to take back. She also said that if the money was not enough, she would ask him to borrow some, although in the end it was Lu He who paid for her.

Today he thought of Yerette and called her here specifically, but he did not think of Selya.

Think of this.

Lu He felt that he was really nothing.
