Luyang Mansion Rune Guild Branch Headquarters
"boom!
A rune department examiner looked flustered and rushed into the rune guild's branch hall in Luyang Mansion.
"President, where is the president?
he shouted
Several rune masters who were dealing with matters in the hall were surprised: "The president is in seclusion in a secret room to conceive a high-level rune. He has given instructions not to disturb him. Why are you in such a panic to find the president?"
"Why are you still in seclusion? Hurry! Something big has happened. Let the president come out quickly. If you are late, it will be too late!
The examiner said anxiously
"What's wrong?
someone asked
"Today in the Rune Department examination room, a young candidate wrote a national-level martial arts rune! This is the fourth national-level martial arts rune of Canglan Kingdom. Dean Mu and City Lord Jiang are all trying to grab it. That town-level rune told the president to hurry over!
the examiner yelled
He was a member of the Rune Guild Master and was assigned as an examiner in the Luyang Mansion so that he could keep track of the government's trends at all times. When encountering such a major incident, he would naturally report it to the president as soon as possible
"Country-level martial arts runes?
In the hall, all the rune apprentices and rune masters were stunned.
In an instant, there was a burst of laughter
"Haha, are you kidding!
"Country-level martial arts runes! There are only three copies in the entire Canglan Kingdom. In the rune department examination room of the Ten Academy Joint Examination, there are a group of guys who are not even rune apprentices. How can a fourth town-level martial arts rune be born? of runes?
"Who are you teasing!
"Not to mention mere candidates, even rune masters and rune masters cannot do this kind of thing.
They all laughed at
But they soon saw that the man's face was serious and did not look like he was joking at all.
"This is real?
"Luyang's number one genius rune girl Mu Bing, is she so powerful?
The hall gradually became quiet, and some people speculated that it was Mu Bing who wrote the runes.
"It's not Mu Bing, it's Ye Fan! Ye Fan, who is ranked first in the martial arts department, has surpassed Miss Mu Bing with this national-level rune, and once again won the first place in the rune department! The entire Luyang Mansion is about to be shocked. Now there is chaos inside and outside the examination room! The big red list of the runes department has been posted! If you don't believe it, I will go and see the list!
The examiner shouted angrily
The rune masters couldn't help but be moved, and finally began to believe it.
If there is someone in Luyang Mansion who can create miracles, then Ye Fan is undoubtedly the most likely candidate. Because he has created a miracle in martial arts, overwhelming thousands of candidates and winning the top spot in martial arts. Then it is not completely impossible to create another rune-based miracle.
"Quickly, find the president and ask him to come out of seclusion!
"You prepare the carriage immediately. When the guild grows out, we will rush over to grab the rune of the country! At the worst, we must prevent it from falling into the hands of City Lord Jiang and Dean Mu, otherwise it will have a huge impact on our rune guild. !
In the hall of the Rune Guild, the rune masters were finally in chaos.
The Mu family is the number one rune family in Luyang Prefecture. It has been inherited for hundreds of years. It also controls a palace and ten martial arts academies. It can be called the number one family in Luyang Prefecture. But this honor belongs only to the members of the Mu family
Many of the other rune masters who practice runes have no family heritage, and they mainly unite around the rune guild. They are not of the same mind as the Mu family.
…
Luyang Mansion Rune Guild
A closed and secret room several feet in size
The interior layout of the secret room is very simple, with a desk and a master's chair
There is a fine inkstone on the table. The "pen, ink, paper, and inkstone" used to write the runes are all of the highest quality and are valuable.
Use good materials, which will greatly help the success rate of rune writing.
Cao Ling, the president of the Luyang Mansion Rune Guild, is holding a talisman pen and practicing a special technique for processing high-level martial arts runes, the "Grass Snake Gray Line Rune Technique"
This technique allows him to increase the success rate of writing complex high-level martial arts runes by 5%.
The probability of this improvement is not high
But for a rune master, it is already a huge improvement. This means that writing a high-level rune can increase profits by 5%
After half a month of retreat, he has already made some progress, which makes him quite happy.
It is estimated that after a few more months of retreat, this technique will be somewhat successful.
"This special rune writing technique can only be mastered by a very small number of master rune masters, and I'm afraid Dean Mu probably hasn't mastered it either!
President Cao Ling thought to himself
When he thought of Dean Mu, his expression turned bad.
As the president of the Rune Guild of Luyang Mansion, he has always had a sore spot in his heart.
There are two experienced rune masters in Luyang Mansion.
One is him, the president of Rune Guild, and the other is Dean Mu Fengshan of Luyang Mansion. But Dean Mu's rune skills are deeper than him.
Although he is Luyang's Rune Guild Master, he was sent here by the Canglan Kingdom's Rune Headquarters and does not have much influence in Luyang Mansion.
Even within the Rune Guild, there is no unanimous support. Many people secretly support Dean Mu.
The Mu family is the first of the eight wealthy families in Luyang Prefecture. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and has deep-rooted connections.
As a rune family, the Mu family's status is higher than that of the rune guild.
In the Luyang Mansion, the Rune Guild was very weak, and Cao Ling always felt that he was suppressed by the Mu family and could not use his skills.
"President! President!
Outside the door of the retreat room, there were several rapid knocks on the door.
Cao Ling frowned, dipped his talisman pen in the ink and said with a hint of anger: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to disturb me if you have nothing to do?"
Luyang City is a place of peace and quiet.
Is there anything that might have happened recently that would disturb his retreat?
The only major event is that Luyang Prefecture is conducting the joint examination of the ten colleges and is preparing to recruit martial arts students.
But this matter is a matter for the top ten junior martial arts academies and Luyang Mansion. The Mu family is in charge of the overall situation and has nothing to do with him.
"President! Something big happened. In the rune department examination room of Luyang Mansion, Miss Mu Bing, who was originally expected by everyone, unexpectedly fell into second place. The first place in the rune department was taken by Ye Fan. According to the accurate According to the news, Ye Fan wrote a town-level rune in front of everyone in the examination room, and was unanimously judged to be the first by all the chief and assistant examiners! Now this town-level rune is being sent to Dean Mu by several examiners. Appraisal. There is news from one of our assistant examiners. How to handle this matter is up to the president to decide!
People outside the door hurriedly reported
"Which Ye Fan?...The Ye Fan who is number one in the martial arts department? Isn't he the number one in the martial arts department? How can he still write runes?
Cao Ling was suddenly shocked, with a look of shock on his face
The talisman pen in his hand trembled, and a little red ink dripped on the talisman paper from the tip of the pen, destroying a rune that was about to be completed.
But now he doesn't care about that anymore
Although he strongly doubted it, he still believed it somewhat
The people outside the door are his cronies, and they will never fool him with that kind of wrong information.
"Exactly this person!
The confidant said hurriedly
"Country-level martial arts runes! There are only three of them in the entire Canglan Kingdom, and this is actually happening!
President Cao Ling murmured something and suddenly became alert.
no
It doesn't matter if this country-preserving rune falls into the hands of anyone, but it must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Mu family. Otherwise, it will only greatly enhance the strength of the Mu family, and the rune guild will only become more powerful. Weak
Otherwise, within a few years if this continues, he, the rune guild leader, will be reprimanded by the Canglan Kingdom Rune Headquarters and get out of Luyang Mansion due to the unfavorable development of the guild.
"Prepare the car and go to Mu Mansion!
"Yes, President! The carriage has been prepared and ready to go at any time!
…
The same scene also happened in the City Lord's Mansion of Luyang Mansion.
Mu and Jiang both belong to one of the three great aristocratic families. The Mu family firmly controls the power of the palace, while the Jiang family holds the power of the city lord.
Although they are both aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, the Jiang family is inferior to the Mu family and is not the head of the family.
The center of Luyang City
The huge and magnificent city lord's mansion covering an area of dozens of acres, in a study room
The bookshelves are filled with numerous military and political documents from various places in Canglan Kingdom and Dongnai County.
City Lord Jiang Tianpeng sat on an ebony chair covered in wolf demon skin with a solemn expression, flipping through a notice from the Zixuan Dynasty to the eight hundred vassal states.
""Zixuan Dynasty's Edict to the Princes of the World" The Emperor Zixuan's edict said: In the 11,997th year of the Zixuan calendar, the thousand-year war peace treaty between the four tribes of Shenwu Continent will expire in three years. Wangba Hundreds of princes, kingdoms and all the counties under their rule should prepare for war as soon as possible. Prepare troops, equipment, grain, horses, herbs and other supplies to wait for the emperor's call. Don't slack off.
This announcement is only a few words long, but it is more important than ever.
City Lord Jiang Tianpeng looked heavy.
According to the thousand-year war treaty between the four tribes of the Shenwu Continent set by the saints, a war will be held every one thousand years to determine the territories of the Zixuan Dynasty, the Orc Alliance, the Nether Dynasty, and the Spirit Alliance.
After a thousand years of war, the four tribes of the Shenwu Continent will return to peace and use the thousand years of peace to recuperate.
It is now the 11,997th year of the Purple Xuan Calendar. It has almost passed the long period of peace for a thousand years, and it has returned to the beginning of the chaotic war that will allow the four tribes to go to war with each other.
Of course, at the beginning of the thousand-year war, the four major clans of Shenwu and Wu would not immediately engage in a decisive battle.
The four major dynasty alliances will test each other's strength to determine the target of the attack
This is just a warning edict from Emperor Zixuan to the princes, not a real imperial edict declaring war.
Lord Jiang Tianpeng picked up another edict issued by the King of Canglan Kingdom
In the southern part of the Canglan Kingdom, there is a huge Lieyang Mountain Range, in which a large Green Wolf Tribe is entrenched. This large tribe is led by a wolf king, who is extremely cunning and cruel.
The Lieri Mountains where the Green Wolf Tribe is entrenched has suffered from droughts in recent years. The Green Wolf Tribe frequently comes out of the mountains to attack the civilians of the Canglan Kingdom and plunder food.
Canglan Kingdom and Qinglang Tribe are in constant conflict
Luyang Mansion is also often attacked by the Qinglang tribe, often losing a lot of property. In comparison, this is the more realistic threat to Luyang City, which is imminent
City Lord Jiang was thinking in his mind: "After the Thousand Years War and the treaty expire, the Lord will definitely start a war with the Qinglang tribe within two or three years to solve this personal problem! The Lord is planning to raise troops in a big way, and Luyang City will definitely send troops to help, and there will be no shortage of troops to help. With less manpower and materials...all the major aristocratic families will probably have to contribute.
Although he is the city lord of Luyang Mansion, he is only the nominal supreme leader of Luyang and cannot control all the power in Luyang Mansion.
Most of the Luyang Mansion's financial, material resources, and top talents are concentrated in the hands of the three wealthy families of Mu, Jiang, and Gu, and the five wealthy families of Zhao, Feng, Lin, Qin, and Wang.
Only the combined efforts of these eight wealthy families can gather the true strength of Luyang Mansion.
The Jiang family is only one of the three major families in Luyang Mansion, not even the top one.
There are many things that he, the city lord, cannot make the decision on his own, and will be restricted by other wealthy clans.
"Lord City Lord!
One of his subordinates looked hurriedly and came outside the study to report: "There is definite news from the rune department examination room of the mansion. The martial arts student Ye Fan won the first place in the rune department and wrote a town-level martial arts rune. The martial arts skill "Nine Continuous Flashes of Flashing Fist Technique". This rune is being sent to Mu Mansion for inspection and appraisal by Dean Mu.
City Lord Jiang was surprised and shocked: "Is there such a thing? This young man can actually defeat Mu Bing of the Mu family?!
Yesterday, he had heard that this genius from a humble martial arts family had defeated Zhao Feiyang, the heir to the wealthy Zhao family, to win the top spot in martial arts.
Unexpectedly, he actually performed even better in the rune department today, surpassing Mu Bing, the direct heir of the Mu family.
Moreover, the elementary martial arts runes can write nine consecutive flashes, which is too shocking.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Tianpeng quickly made a decision, "Prepare the car and go to Mu Mansion quickly!
The birth of a national-level martial arts rune is of great significance to Luyang Mansion. Relying on this national-level rune, it is very likely that a super powerful warrior will be born in the next ten or twenty years.
He must personally investigate this matter and try his best to prevent this rune from falling into the hands of the Mu family. The Mu family's foundation is already very deep and powerful, and there must never be a super strong warrior.
Luyang Mansion cannot be dominated by one family.
