Lord of the Great Tribulation

Chapter 257 Hometown

Yi Rui couldn't believe that the incomparable monster that had been chasing her in nightmares could be solved so easily.

'The other party must be a real strong man in the mysterious world. '

She looked at Fang Xian with a trace of gratitude and admiration.

Fang Xian frowned, staring at the monster corpse on the ground.

After the three monsters died, their bodies quickly melted into black slime.

These mucus seemed to be alive, wriggling non-stop, gathered together, and seemed to be able to revive.

"Purge!"

He thought about it, and used his [Ancient Copper] rank to cast a purification circle taught by the Mystery Academy.

Fang Xian used spiritual power as his pen and ink to draw a mysterious rune.

The pure white light fell, causing the pitch-black slime to let out a high-pitched scream and evaporate out of thin air.

'Actually...if the subject of prayer is added to the ceremony, such as a certain true god, the effect will be better...At this time, I can only rely on myself, but it's okay. '

Fang Xian watched indifferently as all the dark slime evaporated, leaving a little residue.

It was a black iron sheet, with three lines of words written on the surface in mysterious language - 'Dreamland Access Voucher'.

The second line is - 'informal member level'.

The third line is the complement of the above two lines - 'one time'.

On its back, there is a mystical symbol, which is composed of an inverted triangle frame and a serpentine line in the middle, emitting a faint light.

In the dream, there was silence.

"You...recognize this thing?" Fang Xian held the iron piece in his hand and looked at Yi Rui.

"This is... that ruin?"

Yi Rui covered her lips, as if trying to hide the shock on her face, and stammered: "I am a occultist, I once attended a secret party in the empire, and explored a certain place with a few friends. The ruins...I recognize the symbol on the iron plate, I saw it on one of the stone slabs of the ruins, but after touching it, it shattered...I always thought it was destroyed."

"Actually, it's just transferred to you. It's not malicious in itself. It's just the overflowing breath, polluting your nightmares, causing you to be chased by nightmares, mentally unstable, and the mysterious power may lose control at any time... ..."

Fang Xian analyzed: "In short...you were almost killed by a temporary ticket!"

The mysterious world is so unreasonable.

Maybe just because you know too much or come into contact with some strange items, extremely dangerous and terrifying things may happen.

"I... I always thought that I was cursed by that ruin, so I ran away from the empire, wanting to stay far away... Who knows, it has always been on me..."

Yi Rui looked at the 'invitation card' or 'ticket' in the shape of a sheet of iron with a complicated expression.

"As a reward for saving you, it belongs to me."

Fang Xian was not polite to her, and directly declared his sovereignty: "Or...do you still want to study it?"

"No no... this is what it should be, it belongs to you!"

Yi Rui waved her hand quickly: "Iron and Blood Ruler... I don't want to be chased by nightmares anymore. The feeling of not being able to sleep all night is really terrible..."

"Very good, then the deal will be concluded." Fang Xian snapped his fingers.

Snapped!
In the crisp sound, the castle centered on him, continuously shattering in all directions.

……

Inside the train carriage.

Iri opened her eyes.

Her shadow immediately returned to normal, and there was nothing unusual about it.

The passengers in the seats next to them didn't realize at all that a life-threatening accident happened right next to them, and then was eliminated silently.

As long as there was a slight mistake just now, most of the passengers in this carriage would have to return to the embrace of Styx.

After calming down the mysterious force that almost ran away, Yi Rui immediately turned her eyes to the opposite side, but found that there was no one on the seat.

"Where is that person... that passenger?"

She grabbed the arm of a passenger next to her: "Where did that gentleman go?"

"do not know……"

The sleepy gentleman next to him rubbed his eyes: "Maybe he got off the car?"

……

Worcestershire.

Fang Xian pressed his cap, picked up his suitcase, and got out of the carriage.

The black iron ticket was lying quietly in his arms, without any abnormality.

"Interesting item, but it's not the time to study it now... But at least, I'm sure that [Ancient Copper]'s rank can probably suppress its abnormality."

After walking out of the train station, Fang Xian got on a public carriage directly: "Go to Roland Manor!"

"Guests please sit down."

The coachman graciously helped Fang Xian fix the luggage behind the carriage, and grabbed the reins tightly.

Fang Xian looked at the buildings and people outside through the small glass window in the carriage, his expression did not change at all.

This is not the mentality that a wanderer who has been away from his hometown for six years should have.

However, he really has no feelings.

Close your eyes at this moment, and some information quickly emerges.

Roland Manor is the old residence of the Roland family. The owner of the family at this time should be Daniel's father, Baron Andre Roland.

In addition, Daniel has an older brother, Peter Roland, and two older sisters.

"But the two sisters should be married, and there are only Andre and his heir in the manor..."

"Due to the failure of the investment three years ago, the Roland family has no stable income from real estate, and owes a lot of money to relatives and friends. It is very difficult to make ends meet. Even Daniel's support has been cut off..."

'But there is no way, the manor cannot be sold... because it is the last dignity of the nobility. '

In fact, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Even after one investment failure, if the Roland family shrinks immediately and lives a middle-class life, they can still live well.

Alternatively, you can get a large sum of money back by selling the estate.

But no.

As an aristocrat, you need to maintain a fixed and decent expenditure every year.

For example, a manor with a long history where guests can entertain guests.

And there are several fixed holiday gifts exchanged each year, the value of which must be more than 50 gold fishers.

This is the necessary human interaction.

Otherwise, when other nobles held banquets, they would gradually reduce their invitations to the Roland family, slowly be excluded from this circle, and become down-and-out nobles.

Even, losing the glory and status of nobility.

It was also this kind of continuous bleeding that had the effect of cutting flesh with a blunt knife on the Roland family, whose vitality was greatly injured.

If it continues for more than ten years, it will probably be really desperate.

'However... I have to admit that maintaining the dignity of the nobles and maintaining the appearance rate in this circle is still somewhat effective... At least, if the Roland family suddenly disappears, or is kidnapped or exterminated, it will be a major case that will cause a sensation in the whole country ...'

It can be said that it is precisely because of this identity that a temporary amulet has been formed in the face of huge interests. '

'It's just that... the other party didn't rob at most, but changed it to a detour. '

"I'm afraid that the family's financial situation will get worse..."

While thinking, Fang Xian saw that the carriage left the urban area and came to a manor in the suburbs.
