Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 1087 Ren's seven aunts and eight aunts, Xingshashi

Ryan has a saying that MMP does not know whether to say it or not.

After hearing the name Lathander from Lucy, he felt a little bad all over.

In Faerun (the world of Toril), people often pray to this god when they embark on a new journey, sign a contract, establish a political or romantic relationship.

Lathander is Lord of the Dawn, god of renewal and vitality, and one of the oldest gods of Faerûn.

If the spirit-steam world is really transformed by Losander's head, this world must be related to a certain DND world, or a world with a similar background.

DND stands for "Dungeons and Dragons".

Coincidentally, Keisha's novice trial mission went to a world related to the background of "Dungeons and Dragons".

Maybe, this planet is not very far from Toril World and Faerun Continent...

Lucy saw Renn's expression strange, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just a little hungry."

Ren quickly reacted, looked as usual, and changed the subject.

He wasn't going to discuss the information about "Lord of Dawn" Lathander and Faerun's god system with Lucy, because it was difficult to explain.

As a new saint, he shouldn't know so much.

Lucy didn't think too much about it. Anyone who heard these inside information about the secrets and origins of the world for the first time would behave a little strangely.

Hearing that he was hungry, Lucy smiled, and told the old butler standing outside the door:

"Have a banquet and entertain the two distinguished guests."

"Understood, miss." The old butler nodded, bowed and stepped back slowly.

The chefs at the Marquis' mansion were very efficient, and in half an hour, a sumptuous lunch was ready.

Several people walked into the restaurant while chatting.

The dining room of the Wilson family is large and elegantly decorated, with a red carpet on the floor, several urn-shaped crystal lamps cured with "illumination" hanging on the ceiling, an exquisite marble dining table placed in the center, and silver candlesticks with flickering flames .

Lucy sat on the main seat, flanked by Arturia and Ren.

At the beginning of the luncheon, a group of young and beautiful maids in ruffled aprons served appetizers, soup, salad, main course, staple food, dessert, coffee and tea according to the procedure.

The banquet of the noble family has rich and extravagant dishes, and the process is exquisite.

For drinks, there are pre-dinner wines, table wines and after-dinner wines.

Aperitif appetizers are usually cocktails or champagne; table wine is divided into white wine and red wine. When serving white meat, that is, fish and chicken, it should be paired with white wine; when serving red meat, such as beef and pork, it should be paired with red wine. After-dinner drinks are generally digestive drinks such as liqueurs and brandies...

'Dog big family. '

Ren slandered in his heart.

At the same time, he had to admit that, compared to these long-standing noble families, the Ackerman family was indeed a nouveau riche.

Usually very careless, there are shortcomings in all aspects.

There are no manor castles, no housekeepers and maids, no regular art salons at home...

Moreover, this Wilson Manor is only an estate of the Wilson Family in Melova City.

The Wilson family is in the east of Faroland, and there is also a marquis territory of [-] square kilometers. In the territory, castles, private troops, treasuries, weapons workshops and mage towers are all available, just like a small country.

This is the background of the great nobility.

Ren's personal strength has surpassed that of Lucy, but in terms of family background, flattery can't keep up.

Some things, such as a family's connections, territory, industry and wealth background, etc., really don't just rely on big fists.

Even if there is enough military support, the development of power will take a certain amount of time.

"How much land can the king give me this time?"

It was almost time to eat, Ren shook his wine glass and looked at Lucy eagerly.

He also wanted to be a landed nobleman.

Recruit soldiers, build castles, farm and grow, and become the emperor of the land...and then marry Kaisha in a glorious manner.

"You have been promoted to the fifth level, and you have made great achievements. How can you have three to four hundred square kilometers?" Lucy thought for a moment.

This is the area of ​​a Viscounty.

"It's only 300 square kilometers, where do you send the beggars?" Ren asked dissatisfied.

It's too small. The Wilson family has a fief of about [-] square kilometers, thirty or forty times that of the Ackerman family.

He who was once the founding emperor of the Lionheart Kingdom really despised this little territory.

Lucy was speechless, and gave him a blank look: "Be content, you have made contributions to the kingdom, and you are a newly promoted saint, so you can have a fief.

Otherwise, the king will give you a pleasant title of court duke, and throw you a small manor, and you won't be able to say anything. "

Not all nobles can have hereditary territories.

Many upstarts have titles but no land, or the title and territory are seriously inconsistent.

Faroland Kingdom is actually a bit better. Like some ancient countries with a long history, the interests have basically been divided up, and there is no room for rising stars.

For example, in the Norcman Empire and the San Joan Empire, many newly-emerged transcendents in the country bear the bluffing titles of dukes and marquises, but they only have one or two small manors of 300 to 500 acres...

This kind of nobles are called court nobles, upstarts, and there is a clear distinction between land nobles.

"But now is the age of war, and it is also your opportunity."

Lucy stared at these two outstanding young men, and said, "Over there, Prince Christian of the demon tribe can't hold back anymore. He will launch an all-out war against Faroran in half a year at the most... If you Once you can make great contributions in the war, it is not a problem to crack the soil and seal the marquis."

"is it?"

Ren smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Well now, there is one more reason to kill Prince Christian.

Not even a real Marquis, he really had no shame in proposing marriage to the royal family of the Norckman Empire—the Feuerbach family.

At this time, Artoria also tentatively said:

"Aunt Lucy, can you give us a copy of the information about Prince Christian, Prince Miro, and Grand Duke Luke of the demon camp?"

"no problem."

After a little hesitation, Lucy agreed, and immediately asked the old housekeeper to go to the data room to sort out and copy a copy of the data of the strong members of the demon camp.

It was so easy to talk that both Ren and Artoria were taken aback for a moment.

These materials are precious, but not cheap.

Ren can also ask for these materials from the Witcher Association, but he has to pay for them. If he comes to Lucy to ask for these materials, he doesn't want to prostitute for nothing, but just wants a friendly price from the other party.

But seeing what she wants now, she plans to give it for nothing.

Ren looked at the female saint suspiciously, and said:
"May I ask why you are so polite?"

This woman must have been too kind to them.

She cares about them very much, just like the elders in the family, she is kind and friendly, even if she wants to show favor and win over the newly promoted saints, there is actually no need to take care of them like this.

Hearing Ryan's doubtful question, Lucy was stunned for a moment, and then a smile bloomed on her white face. She looked him up and down for a while, seemed a little satisfied, and said:
"My good friend Helen sent a message not long ago, asking me to take special care of you, after all, you are her son-in-law."

"son in law?"

Ren was a little confused.

Who is Helen... Well, I seem to have heard it many times, but I can't remember it at the moment.

Lucy looked at the bewildered young man, feeling a little funny, and reminded: "Her daughter is Catherine."

Ren: "..."

It was Catherine's mother.

"But, my fiancée is actually...is—" Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, Ren hesitated a bit.

Did the other party make a mistake?

It was Keisha he was sleeping with, and it was her he was going to marry, not Miss Catherine.

Looking at him embarrassed and hesitant, Lucy smiled lightly and said:

"Unexpectedly, you are still very lucky, although I don't know the process, but Helen can't even make a mistake about this kind of thing.

Since she said you are her son-in-law, it must be. "

Ren: "..."

(˙灬˙)
Could it be that he can still have both sisters?
so exciting...

It can only be said that Kesha had a bit of a bad taste in this matter. She didn't tell Ren exactly about the relationship, but also told him in an ambiguous way on purpose: his sister-in-law has always been thinking about him.

However, Ryan has no sister-in-law at all.

Catherine and Keisha, to put it bluntly, are the two sides of the Bloody Queen's character, each playing two roles.

It's okay to say she's an actress.

Anyway, Kesha's wave is in the atmosphere, and when Renn secretly rejoices, thinking that he can have both sisters, only one person will appear on the wedding day...

Just to tease him on purpose.

If it wasn't for Ren to push the cabbage Queen of the Demon Realm outside, he would have been killed by Kesha's tricks, and he might be hung on her tree for the rest of his life, with his wife under strict control.

Unfortunately, sometimes people are not as good as God.

Keisha must have never imagined that Rennes could travel to other worlds, so the calculation finally came to nothing.

To sum it up, it's all routines. From this point of view, the two look like a husband and wife, and the other half of the routines have extremely high IQs.

Lucy looked at the constantly changing face of Ren, who was worried about gains and losses, and added with a smile:
"Besides, you can also call me auntie, I'm Helen's cousin."

Ren: "..."

No wonder, she kept laughing at her aunt just now.

Artoria: "..."

It turned out to be the case.

"Call Auntie to listen."

"Aunt Lucy."

Facing Lucy's narrow and expectant eyes, Ren felt helpless and had to call auntie, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

He was a little uncomfortable with this situation.

For a long time before, he had no relatives, no elders, so naturally he didn't have to deal with seven aunts and eight aunts.

After all, she and Artoria are of the same generation, so they can get along casually.

Facing Lucy at this time, Ren was very embarrassed, thinking of dealing with his mother-in-law and father-in-law in the future, his scalp tingled for a while.

…………

In the afternoon, the sky was clear.

After coming out of Wilson Manor, Ryan was still in a trance and absent-minded.

In terms of relationship, he can barely be regarded as Lucy's niece and son-in-law.

"I feel that your aunt is not easy, she seems to have touched the fifth level."

Seeing him distracted, Arturia raised the topic voluntarily.

"Indeed, I feel that she can pose a threat to us, which is not something ordinary saints can do." Ren nodded.

Of course, he was not surprised.

Lucy Wilson is a [singer] profession, a fifth-level soul singer.

Singer is not a profession of frontal combat. It should be regarded as a support and nurse, and it is easy to be underestimated in debates.

It is generally believed in the aristocratic circle that she ranks at the bottom of the ten great saints of Faroland.

However, Ryan had scanned Lucy with the "Level Detection" function a few months ago, and unexpectedly discovered that she was as high as level 25.

To be precise, it is a senior saint at the peak of level 25, only one step away from the fifth level.

This woman is usually low-key and clumsy enough. People have said that she is the best saint in Faroland for decades, and she has never refuted it.

After all, she is an aunt, so Ren doesn't complain that she is a scheming whore.

"I've been absent-minded all the time, aren't you happy that my mother's background is so strong?" Artoria teased.

Sometimes she felt sorry for her brother who had been a loner before, and she was very happy to see that he gradually gained some relatives and friends.

Ren scratched his head, still feeling a little embarrassed, curled his lips and said:
"Well, happy, this trip saved about 2 gold coins."

The information of more than [-] strong men from the demon camp is worth several thousand gold coins.

He originally owed Lucy 1 gold coins, but this time he was also exempted.

It was the time when he encountered the projection of the Nightmare Sovereign. He was severely injured, unconscious, and his soul was polluted by the Sovereign Nightmare Power.

It was Lucy who healed him with singing that soothed his soul.

This time I came to visit her, in addition to obtaining information on the powerful members of the demon camp, Ren also planned to use the bat wings of the blood prince Mahat to pay off the debt.

The result was useless.

Not only was it useless, but Lucy also gave him a few treasures, and said that if he likes it in the future, he can live in Wilson Manor.

"You, you know how many gold coins you have saved."

Seeing that he was acting like a good boy after taking advantage of it, Arturia tugged at his ears, "Can you stop being so snobby."

"Let go."

Ren patted her hand off lightly, and muttered, "I'd rather talk about financial interests with others, and I don't want to deal with seven aunts and eight aunts. I feel that I owe too much favor this time."

During the few months he was huddled in the city of Melova, he also indirectly accepted Lucy's asylum.

She is up to level 25 and is resident in Melova City. Under this important commercial city, there are four sanctuary-level rune formations, which are enough to deter all Xiaoxiao.

Prince Miro was so pushy that he didn't dare to break into this city in person when he was doing things before, which shows that the defense here is heavily guarded.

Come and go, Ren has received a lot of favor and help from Lucy.

Now that I think about it, after he arrived in Melova City, she has actually been taking care of him overtly and secretly.

As for the reason behind it, I also figured it out this time. In all honesty, this auntie was really nice to him, almost like a half-mother...

After chatting, they took a public carriage to the Civic Square, and Ren and Arturia parted ways temporarily.

She is going to school, applying for early graduation, and catching up on her graduation thesis by the way, and will not go home for a few days.

And Ren went home, sorted out the information given by Lucy, and checked whether Christian and Miro had any weaknesses that could be targeted.

…………

Two days later.

At night, the lone moon hangs high.

Wearing a black cloak, Ren quietly came to the edge of the northern district of Melova City.

The cool wind blew through the dilapidated streets of the old city, and the door frame creaked and moaned. It was a little creepy in the middle of the night.

It is very dilapidated, but there are still many people living here, but the law and order is slightly chaotic. Thieves, thieves, gangsters and wandering warblers are very common in the old city, which is a gray area of ​​the city.

Ordinary citizens dare not come here at night.

But in the circle of extraordinary people, the old town is very attractive because there is a black market here.

Ren quickly entered an abandoned factory and followed the stairs to the ground.

There is a bar here, which is opened in the dark basement, which looks a bit weird.

"Have a Bloody Mary!"

Ren smiled and tossed a gold coin in his hand. Immediately after hearing his words, two burly men in black came over.

They stopped him, took out two force guns, pointed at his head, and said coldly:
"Sir, ordinary people can't come in here."

Ren threw the gold coin forward, and said bluntly: "I'm an ordinary person, and if I say such stupid things again, I'll blow your heads off."

"..."×2
Test passed.

"Sir, please!"

Two [Berserker] bodyguards put down their guns, put away the gold coins, led Renn through the bar, turned left and right to an iron gate.

This kind of "test" is actually quite interesting. With two guns pointed at your head, and you dare to swear at people without changing your face, you are eligible to enter the black market.

Because this kind of person is either a master or a desperado.

One of the big men in black grabbed the handle of the iron door and turned it hard.

bang~

The iron gate that only allowed one person to pass through opened and closed, making a muffled sound.

Ren crossed the iron gate, walked through the dark tunnel, walked about 200 meters, and entered a square surrounded by black mist.

On the square, all kinds of stone pillars and stones are scattered and scattered, showing a semi-enclosed shape, and there are some houses built with huge stones in the middle, all of which have been transformed into shops at this time.

It seems that he came at the right time. At this time, a stall owner took out several rare treasures and was auctioning them.

They were three stones, the size of a baby's fist, shaped a bit like a sea urchin, blue-brown, with little fireflies bursting out from the spikes from time to time.

The stall owner was wearing a dark golden crow mask and a large black robe, unable to see his face clearly, said:
"These are three Star Fiend Stones from the Hundred Blossoms Secret Realm. They can be used to get close to the legendary strongest gun "Star Wings". I believe everyone knows that the passage to the secret realm will be opened soon. This kind of thing I don't think I need to say more about the value of it?"

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of rapid breathing all around.

Eight to nine hundred people have gathered here, and it can be said that most of the people in the entire black market have come.

At this time, many people looked at the three Xingsha stones on the ground with greedy and fiery eyes, wanting to take them for themselves.

"Wings of the Stars", a famous gun without an owner, who doesn't covet it?
"Someone actually sells the Star Fiend Stone." Ren raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

If fighting is not allowed in the black market, and behind the black market there are actually the shadows of the Faroran official forces and the Demon Hunter Association, there may be a murder here.

"I give 2000 gold coins!"

"2500!"

"2800!"

……

Soon someone shouted the price, blushing with excitement.

The vendor wearing the dark golden crow mask was unmoved, and said indifferently: "I want to barter, and I must exchange it with a core material from the dark prince-level demon!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent for a moment.

"Hey, it's too greedy. Holding the Star Fiend Stone is just a chance to get close to the famous gun, and it's not guaranteed to get it."

"That's right, are you crazy about money? It's just a one-time consumable, and it's not worth [-] gold coins at all!"

"Why don't you go grab it?"

This request exceeded the bottom line of everyone's psychological tolerance, and many people in the black market were sneering and sarcastic, and some even had murderous intent in their eyes.

Materials such as blood cores, bat wings, magic stones, goblin spirits, and werewolf hearts of the Dark Duke level can be sold for more than [-] gold coins.

As for the three Star Fiend Stones, according to the previous price, at most 3000 gold coins.

Ren shook his head when he heard that.

The famous gun "Wings of the Stars" is not that easy to hold, if it were really that easy, it wouldn't have stayed in the secret realm for thousands of years.

He has the star power attribute, which is more suitable for this famous gun, but he is not very sure.

The Sword Master of the Starry Sky entered the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm back then, but returned empty-handed.

The original force of the star power attribute is relatively powerful and rare, but it is not unheard of.

Over the past thousand years, at least a dozen geniuses with the original force of the star power attribute tried to seize this famous gun, but all of them ended in failure.

According to Kesha, holding the Star Fiend Stone and possessing the force of the star or brilliance attribute is only qualified to recognize the master.

If you want to master the famous gun, you have to pass its test.

That famous gun has long been refined, no one controls it, it can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and it can also operate autonomously. It has shot and killed people who offended it many times.

After watching for a while, seeing that the stall owner still refused to lower the price, Ren turned and left.

Star Fiend Stone is indeed rare, even if someone digs this kind of thing in the Hundred Blossoms Secret Realm, they usually won't sell it.

But it's not just this family. For example, Aunt Lucy gave him two yuan just now. Obviously, she knew that he had the star power attribute and had this idea, so she sponsored him in friendship.

He wanted to pay, but she didn't confiscate it. She just smiled and said that when she got the famous gun, she hurried to marry her niece, which made Ren very embarrassed.

In addition, Keisha also gave him two Star Fiend Stones before.

So Ren walked away simply, unlike some people who refused to disperse like they had pink eye disease, and surrounded the stall owner.

There are still many good things in the black market, such as yellow spring flower petals, earth marrow jade, ghost insect shells, moon spirit vine stem powder, red lizard dragon blood, spring of resurrection and other materials are for sale.

However, he was short of cash, so he resisted the urge to rob, and wandered all the way to the corner of the black market.

Outside the witch's shop, there are still few people.

It's not that there are no good products here, but the main reason is that the gatekeepers are too vicious.

sizzle~

A black abyss python with the thickness of a bucket is entrenched on the side of the door, its head is raised slightly, and it is spitting out purple snake letters. The black scales on its body glow with a metallic cold light, which makes people shudder.

Even supernatural beings don't dare to approach this store.

This is a powerful beast of the beast king level (comparable to the fourth level of human beings).

Seeing someone approaching, the black abyss python stood up half of its body, staring at Ren with dark red eyes, spitting snake letters, as if it would launch an attack at any time.

Python: (._.)
Ryan: (゜一゜)
Stand for a few seconds.

call!
Crimson flames gushed out from behind Ren, and in the terrified eyes of the black abyss python, a huge blue-gray dragon claw took a head-on shot with the momentum of Mount Tai!
Bang!
The ground trembled, half of the black abyss python was pressed into the ground by a claw, it roared in pain, its tail twisted and stirred up billowing dust!
"Little Niqiu, who allowed you to act aggressive in front of Sister Na?"

Nana was bathed in flames, and rubbed the black abyss python on the ground with a giant dragon claw transformed from magic.

Finding that the other party was unable to struggle, she suddenly felt bored, and turned to look at Ren beside her, with a smile on her cute pink face, and said:

"Boss, do you want to eat snake soup tonight?"

This loach looks delicious.

Black Abyss Python: "..."

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Give it another chance, it will definitely not be scary.

Ren touched his chin and said, "It looks pretty good."

Black Abyss Python: "..."

o (╥﹏╥) o
No no, snake meat is not tasty, please, please give it a chance to be a snake again.

A beast of this level is very intelligent and can already understand human speech.

"Don't scare Xiao Hei, it's just a little mischievous, and its heart is not bad."

Seeing that Nana was about to skin the giant python, roast it and eat it as spicy strips, the witch's crisp and melodious voice came from the store made of stones.

"Forget it, spare this loach's life today."

Ren picked Nana up and put it on his shoulders, ignoring the black abyss python lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and walked towards the gate of the witch's shop.

He came here today to inquire about how to further train Nana, so it is not appropriate to offend her.
