Section 2227: The History of Ancestral Talismans

Regarding Li Cong's banquet, people in this world also have two completely different views. Just like now, the magicians and Li Cong are very talkative and go together, and they are talking about each other between some friends. It should be said, but the soldiers are not so good, because they all feel threatened. The heads of these soldiers are not those of the magicians. They all know why Li Cong came here. If so, it is estimated that Li Cong will get rid of them and talk to the magician bastards alone. This kind of thing is not a joke. For them, the Ossified Tianlu Pill is definitely the most important thing. As long as their young masters get such things, they can definitely become tenth-level fighters. At that time, their voice in the Tianxiahui will be strengthened a lot. Such things must be done for them. I did it, but the magicians over there also have their own ideas, and they will not accept the fate of the foreign king, although it was said at the beginning that this thing can only be used to change the Bone Transformation Tianlu Pill, But having said that, some things are not so absolute. In many cases, it is necessary to know how to be flexible. If this ossified Tianlu Pill is given to the people in the Tianxiahui, they will not be of any benefit. The young master on the opposite side just needs to become stronger, as for them, there is no benefit, but if they are all replaced with spirit pills now, it will be different, although the magician can increase the spirit power by ten percent. It is said to increase the combat power by 10%, but at least 78% is no problem. This is where the magician is very powerful. They can commission all methods to increase their spiritual power. This spirit pill is already very important for ordinary magicians. For these magicians who have reached the peak, it is even more precious. , For them, such things are the best things, so it is very normal for them to want to get this thing. If they don't think so, then there is something wrong with their brains. I want to reach a private agreement with Li Cong, but it's a pity that Xuanyuan Geli won't let him succeed like that. After eating a meal, you can say nothing and get nothing. Li Cong originally wanted to continue to do some things after dinner, such as the issue of the light magician, but Xuanyuan Geli actually said that there were some things between them to talk about, so he also Stop talking. Oh shit. No matter what we say, he is also a person with status. You all said that, if I continue to stay here, then my skin is not very good. Just at this time, the people below said that people from the Linghu family of the Eastern Empire came. They were already waiting for Li Cong at the headquarters of the Cao Family Firm, and they wanted to talk to Li Cong about some things. Since the last war in the Eastern Empire After the end, the people from the Cao's House of Commerce began to eat away at some of the Linghu family's land. They only had fifty provinces, and now half of the land was shared with the people from the Cao's House of Trade. I am very satisfied, after all, without Li Cong, they would have nothing.

The days of the Linghu family are not very easy. Their territory is located in the southern region of the Eastern Empire. This region has always been a place that is not very stable. Due to the reasons of the Eastern Empire court, they have been working hard. Tossing in this area, if it weren't for the large amount of weapons that Li Cong exported to them, they probably would have nothing now. The Linghu family looked very good in the past, but if compared with the royal family of the Eastern Empire It seems that there is still a certain gap. They must have their own business when they came to Li Cong this time. Li Cong knew that the matter should be very urgent, so he hurried over. Li Cong knew that this matter would definitely happen when he entered the door. Even more powerful,

Because the guy in front of him turned out to be Linghu Boy, the patriarch of the Linghu family. This guy has a beard now, and he looks a lot crisper. It's not what Li Cong met back then. That young master, back then that young master Linghu could be said to be very good and handsome, but now he is no longer the same as he was back then. In fact, the whole world has changed a lot. Back then, the Linghu family It can be said that it is the largest family in the entire Eastern Empire, and it is a family that can challenge the royal family. This is the way it is now, there is no way to do it. In the later war, the Linghu family lost again. At this time, it can be said that they have no capital. They can only return to the previous seal honestly. The ground is coming, and the army of the Eastern Empire is also marching forward. If the people from the Cao's House of Commerce did not help them, they would be rebellious officials and thieves now. Speaking of which, the people from the Cao's House of Trade helped these rebels Very good, first there was the Tuoba family of the Western Empire, and now there is the Linghu family of the Eastern Empire. No matter which family it is, anyway, what Li Cong did in the end was correct. I paid a certain amount of things on my body, and I can always get a lot of things in the end. Seeing that there are still beads of sweat on this guy's forehead, Li Cong knew that he must be in trouble. Li Cong hurriedly called This guy sat down, and now he is the patriarch of a big family. He should not speak like this. Li Cong asked someone to serve a cup of tea and said, "What's going on with you? Didn't I tell you? What's the matter?" You just need to ask the people below to come, or you can just write a letter. Why did you come here by yourself? I don’t know what status you are now? Now you are the patriarch of the Linghu family, not before It was the acting patriarch at the time. I guess you have eaten up and down your Linghu family all these years. You can just find someone to come. If you really do this by yourself In terms of things, you will really run away in the future, and you must have your own demeanor to be the patriarch of a big family." Li Cong said with some dissatisfaction. Just take it easy. The members of the Linghu family didn't say anything, but Linghu couldn't figure it out.

"Oh, my big brother, I have my own business to come here. Do you think I came here for two months because of the reason? Do you know that the people in the world, they took a you If you can get something that you like very much, your life will be much easier, and my life will be much easier accordingly." Finally, he was able to speak. He also said what he said. This kind of thing made him feel very good. How could he have such an opportunity before? No one would tell me how to speak at all, and no one would teach me a lesson when I met Li Cong like this. Li Congang wanted to continue to say something. Suddenly, I heard the three words Tianxiahui. Now this organization is the one that Li Cong is most interested in. No wonder this kid came here in person. In addition to telling himself this important news, Li Cong also saw other meanings in the eyes of the guy on the opposite side. That means a certain labor fee is required. Our patriarchs have come in person. The labor fee will definitely not be less. Li Cong is also mentally prepared for this. He nodded and signaled this guy to continue talking. Unexpectedly, this guy started to put on a show, slowly drank the tea in his teacup, and said slowly, "It's not that we didn't give you news before, it's because we got the news too suddenly , do you know? It turns out that a guy in our family who has been doing business is a peripheral member of their Tianxiahui, and his ancestors got that thing. At that time, they didn't know what that thing was, so So I gave that thing to the people from Tianxiahui, but this guy’s ancestors have always remembered what that thing looked like. One day when he came to our place to do business, I happened to spend a lot of money to get a picture , The things above turned out to be the things that their ancestors gave to Tianxiahui back then. If you exchanged that treasure of yours, it should be that thing. I ran here non-stop, just thinking that you should not make other deals with that treasure pill. It’s really a big loss. You must know that thing is the most precious treasure in the world. Even if the elixir in your hand is so powerful, I don’t think it can compare to that thing. They probably won’t take that The original version of the thing is given to you, even if it is a counterfeit, it is worth much more than the elixir in your hand." The guy said cheerfully, but Li Cong really didn't know much about what he said. If according to this guy's statement, Li Cong is still confused now, what kind of thing has such magical power, it is not the original version, even a fake is much more important than the elixir in his hand Oh, what a joke, the thing in my hand can definitely create a tenth-level fighter, and it's that kind of super tenth-level fighter, not the ordinary version.

"Sit down for me." Li Cong hurriedly pulled down the dancing guy in front of him. This guy knows what's going on, but he doesn't understand what's going on. What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand anything. If I continue to listen to what he said, I guess there will be more things I don't understand. Before this guy has said much, it's better for me to ask clearly. Li From pulling this guy to the seat and saying, "What the hell is that thing you're talking about? Why haven't I heard of such an important baby that can be so powerful? The people in Cao's Commercial Bank are the same as the baby in this world." I’ve seen a lot of them, and things like Ossified Tianlu Pill are nothing in your mouth? Why do I feel like you haven’t woken up yet? Didn’t the people from Tianxia Hui come here with that thing? Sooner or later they will take out that thing and call out to me. I might not be able to choose their thing by then, That thing may be a very common thing to me, and you also know that our Cao's firm is very capable." Li never cared much and said that he thought the guy in front of him was a bit exaggerated, but Li Cong also used the aggressive method. Since you know this thing, then you kid should tell this thing quickly. I also want to see if this thing has that effect. Some treasures on this continent are really nothing to Li Cong. There are quite a few treasures that have passed, and they are not those who have never seen treasures. If a villager said so, Li Cong would definitely think it was a big gold brick, because for them, a gold brick is just a piece of gold. What they need most, but for Li Cong, although gold bricks are not common, they are not much more expensive than stones. Because I don't lack that thing. So in my own eyes, the level of the baby must be improved a little bit. After Li Cong said just now, people are not happy there. What does this mean? Does it mean that our buddies haven't seen the baby? Holding a chicken feather as an arrow? This is intolerable. Linghu immediately jumped three feet high and said loudly, "I said big brother. Brother, I am not someone who has never seen a baby. Back then, our Linghu family also occupied half of the Eastern Empire. At that time, all The treasures of the Eastern Empire all come to my eyes first, as long as I have a fancy. I guess there is no one on the table who may see it. I really didn’t blow it up myself. It’s really priceless, I know Some time ago, the people of Cao’s House seemed to have lost an ancestral talisman, but the people in the Tianxiahui have such a thing. The one I got a while ago was the pattern painting of the ancestral talisman. It is absolutely impossible for them to know They brought the real thing, they just brought a fake, a replica, but the people from Tianxiahui can make the copied ancestor symbol have half the power of the original ancestor symbol, which is already a very good thing .” The guy said loudly, afraid that Li Cong would not hear him.

Ancestral symbol? Why is this thing again? Li Cong had never heard of such a thing before. He just heard that in this world, whether it is the martial arts of warriors or the magic books of magicians, they all come from ancestral talismans. Some things are things that many people need. If you want to become very powerful, this ancestor talisman is a must-have thing. It is said that these things are some things that appeared before the establishment of the four empires. For this As far as the planet is concerned, the ancestral talisman is like a controller for him. As long as he has the ancestral talisman, he can hold anything in his hands. The records about the ancestral talisman on the entire continent only appear three times. Yes, one time was a battle for ancestral talismans before the establishment of the four great empires. At that time, dozens of large forces in the world came to the eastern part of the Warcraft Mountains. Not only were there humans, but also Warcraft, and even There are some creatures in the sea, they all came here for this thing, and now the Great Rift Valley in the east of the Warcraft Mountains is what was left over from the accumulated fighting back then, when everyone used their own Strength, at that time, the aura between heaven and earth was dozens of times that of now, so if you start to cultivate yourself at that time, you can definitely get a very good result. It is said that at that time, ordinary people had fourth-level fighters In terms of strength, the fourth-level fighters were the beginning at that time, and there were many tenth-level fighters, and there were even fighters beyond the tenth level at that time, but no one said how much the existence of the tenth-level fighters was. It's very capable. At the end, it may be because the person who recorded it died, so the first record ended just like that. However, this ancestral talisman is also the most informative one. It is said that the person who got the ancestral talisman established it. A very large sect has been established, and now there are all of them. People will naturally put this on the heads of the four major sects, but hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and no ancestors have been seen. No matter what happened to the people of the sect, they didn't take out the ancestral talisman in their hands. It was really surprising. I felt whether they had it or not. It can only be an honest guess. The second time the news of the ancestral talisman appeared was tens of thousands of years ago, that is, when the world was fighting against the Magician Guild of the Four Great Empires. Many people said that The war is for the control of the magicians. The people of the Magicians Union want to know why so many magicians are willing to work with the people of the Tianxiahui. Is it really like that? Many people said that at that time, people from the Tianxiahui had the ancestral talisman, and people from the Magician's Union knew about it, but they couldn't announce the news, if they did. It is estimated that more people will intervene in this matter at that time, and there is no hope for their four major magician unions to unite, so they thought of such a lame excuse and started a war with the people of the Tianxiahui. I don’t know what it is, and no one knows where those things are, right?

Li Cong didn't know much about the ancestral talisman, but looking at the person in front of him, he knew that such a thing should be very important. The third time this ancestral talisman appeared was the one at Cao's House Those who robbed the transport fleet of the Northern Empire, in fact, the royal family of the Northern Empire and the people of the Cao's House of Merchant were not very serious about the ancestral talisman. If they were to be taken very seriously by them, it might have already been in their hands by this time. . This kind of thing is that people like them don't care much. For them, they don't know what the real function of such things as the ancestral talisman is, because this thing has never been in their hands, how can they know what the function of this thing is? What effect does it have on your own world? Although I don't know. But they all know that there are only seven ancestor symbols in the world. something like this. It is impossible to increase, and it is impossible to decrease. No one said that there will be such a thing. They all know very clearly that such things must be in their own hands, but they also understand some other things. It is a pity that their arrangements are not very good, and in the end they let others This thing was taken away. In fact, what Li Cong did was very good. He had already made good preparations. Li Cong had never dispatched a tenth-level monster before. He thought that as long as he dispatched If you have a tenth-level monster, such a thing will not happen. Thinking of this, Li Cong suddenly thought of how the tenth-level monster died. There were no wounds on his body. Suddenly he thought of the light system just now. Magician, is it light magic? If it is something else, it can definitely be seen. Even a space magician can use the ability of suffocation to complete it in such a short period of time. A tenth-level space magician can use suffocation. The super monster was killed, but in that case, there would definitely be such and such traces inside the monster due to the lack of air, but thinking that there was no damage to the monster, damn it, they must have done it, Li Cong This suspicion can be regarded as a reasonable suspicion, but it cannot be called because of this matter. Another reason is that they did not appear as a tenth-level magician. It is impossible for a ninth-level magician to kill a tenth-level monster. No matter what kind of baby it is, it is impossible. There may be other ways, that is, because of such a thing, Li Cong felt that this matter was really strange, so Li Cong immediately said to the people outside, "Go out and check for me, and see if there are still people everywhere." There is no light magician, as long as there is such a clue, report it immediately." The young master Linghu was also dumbfounded, why did this matter have something to do with the light magician? Is there something wrong with my elder brother's brain? He wouldn't say such things in front of his face before. Is it because what he said about the ancestral talisman stimulated him? Impossible, the psychological quality is very good.

Light magician? Linghu on the side said to himself, light magicians, space magicians, and necromancers are the three rarest types of magicians, and these three types of magicians are the most common in the entire continent. There are less than ten people, so such things are rare. Why would Li Cong find such a person now? Everyone knows that he is a space magician himself, and his master who never shows up. Speaking of which, the greatest wizard in hundreds of thousands of years should belong to this guy's master. A pharmacist is already very rare. I really didn't expect him to be a space magician. Why did Li Cong find a light magician? It seems that there should be very important things, but I have never heard of any light magicians. Such things are no longer within the reach of their Linghu family. Their family is considered to be the top strength on this continent, but now, hehe, they themselves don't believe that they have top strength, they all know it very well. The Linghu family has become a complete second-rate force this time, but this is not bad, it is much better than when the family was exterminated, just like the Tuoba family, when the Tuoba family was the strongest Just like the current Linghu family, they can barely be regarded as second-rate forces on the entire continent, but their final results are not very good. The processes of the two families are surprisingly similar, just some prerequisites It's all different, and in the end, the members of the Tuoba family can only take away some of the elites of their own family. The remaining hundreds of thousands of family members also died one by one. This made the entire Tuoba family directly become a third-rate force. Now except for Tuoba Yuanye, who is still good, other people are not very good, and those people can only be regarded as general. Just a little bit stronger than an ordinary person who is a little bit stronger. As for the rest they have nothing. Thinking of this, Linghu is also very depressed. He made a wrong step in the past, and now he has to pay the price for that. I was too impulsive in the past. If I could endure it honestly for a few years, it might not be me who started the war, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire, so I don’t need to lose There are so many, and although they still have their own territory on the surface, sooner or later they will be eaten away by people from the Eastern Empire and Cao's House of Commerce. Many people in the family want to cheer up, but this boost is also necessary. The few things are the same as now. The first reason he came here was to send news to Li Cong, and the second reason was the request of the Linghu family. They needed a lot of naval warships. Although they also have their own docks, their own warships are really not very good, and those warships made by Cao's House are simply two worlds. Awesome, what about them? It's just a pile of rubbish.

"By the way, you are a busy man. I heard that people from the Eastern Empire have already built two naval bases under your noses. What's the matter? You are not there to deal with your own affairs. What are you doing here?" Li Cong thought for a while before he looked up and saw this guy in front of him. Anyway, it was very good that he sent this news to him from a long distance. Don't give it to others. In this case, they will not have such enthusiasm for doing things in the future. Li Cong told the current situation of this guy in front of him in a few words. The reason why the Eastern Empire vigorously developed the navy, so let the Eastern Empire There are naval bases everywhere in the coastal areas of the empire. The Eastern Empire raised about 150 billion silver by itself, and borrowed about trillions of silver from the bank of Cao’s Commercial Bank. Their navy can be said to be very good. Of course, the Eastern Empire can repay this money. In the inland area of ​​the Eastern Empire, if they have a large area of ​​land, they directly gave all the cultivated land to Li Cong, which is tens of billions of acres. For the land, Li Cong also asked someone to look at it. All of them are of high-quality land, but they have not been reclaimed. In fact, the guy in front of Li Cong also knows what Li Cong said, and he has another thing to say, which is the arms race they engaged in. Of course, the target is the people of the Eastern Empire. They already have nearly 200 million troops in the border area, which is already a very powerful figure. Their Linghu family has a total of 50 provinces with a population of about 6 billion. Now all the troops have arrived 400 million, already 1 out of 15 people is a soldier. It can be said that he has played a bit too much, but he has no choice if he doesn’t play like that. Now it’s time to burn his eyebrows. The borders of the Eastern Empire are so big that they don't feel that there is anything wrong with this matter, but they Linghujia don't have that many assets. Just like now, there is a loan of about 70 billion silver that is due to be repaid. It's time, they will definitely not be able to repay the money, the money has been used to pay interest, and the money will continue to be owed, but they still need more funds to build a naval base, which has to be done again. Talking about this matter with Li Lailai, their total loan amount is nearly 7 trillion silver, and the annual interest is nearly 800 billion silver, and their annual total income of Linghujia is only this figure. If you continue to give them loans. This requires Li Cong's consent, which is why this guy came here. How could he worry about things like money in the past, but now there is no way to do it. If there is no money, After going back, the military salaries of those soldiers will not be able to be paid. The military salary alone will cost more than one billion silver per month. Counting some other expenses, this army will cost them tens of billions of dollars every month. Silver, just supporting them every year is already very difficult.

Li Cong said before that the number of their troops is already a very dangerous thing. But they didn't listen to Li Cong either. Because they all felt the danger, the army of the Eastern Empire was too aggressive, and a bad thing would happen in a few days. Although the conflict was not very big every time, they were still frightened. . If the Eastern Empire deployed 10,000 more troops on the periphery, they would need to deploy 20,000 troops. Because their army's combat effectiveness is really bad. There is no way to do this, just like an archer, the archers of the three empires have to practice at least about 200 times before going to the battlefield. Fifty bows and arrows are shot every time. The number of archers in the Eastern Empire has to reach more than three hundred times. It is estimated that Linghujia's army does not even have fifty times. This is because they do not have enough bows and arrows. The reason is the funds, and the military pay is different. The military pay of the Linghu family is only half of that of the three imperial armies, one-third of that of the Eastern Empire, and one-fifth of that of the Cao family's army. Don't let people eat enough, don't give them much money, and there is still the threat of war every day. It would be a very strange thing if it can make people have high combat effectiveness. In fact, this kid Linghu really wants to hurry up He would give them some money, but it’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. How can I pay them for the army without money? When he came, some generals below had already told him that if the army’s salary could not be paid, the soldiers in the army If you have any ideas, this is out of our control. At that time, you can all do it yourself. The generals of this army are really helpless. If the soldiers want to go up and work hard, they must first let them have no worries. Yes, and most of the Linghu family's troops were captured, not voluntarily. No matter how you train these people, their hearts are not in this place. No matter what you say, it's hype, but in the end When people just don't want to come to you, you have no other way, right? In the past, Li Cong came up with a lot of ideas to solve Linghujia's financial difficulties. The most important one was to let the members of Linghu's family lay off workers, and withdraw so many troops so that The army of the Cao's House of Merchant just went to help them guard the border. The Cao's House of Commerce didn't need to send out many troops. They didn't want any money from the Linghu's family. They just wanted a garrison right. For such a thing, the Linghu's family would directly I refused, what are you kidding, as long as the people from Cao's House come in, this last place will be lost, and it is impossible for them to stay in Linghu's house again. Cao's House's ambitions are beyond anyone's control. It can be seen that this is a murder with a soft knife. Since the proposal was rejected that time, Li Cong has not mentioned it again, so this time I am waiting for this guy to speak. It's possible, let's see if you can give us something useful. Although the relationship between the two of us is good, if there is no satisfactory answer, we can't continue to give you assistance. I also need it Those who eat should also be explained to the people below.

"The most important thing for me to come to you, big brother, is naturally the matter of the ancestral talisman. Now that big brother has his own plans, I can be relieved. Besides, I still have some gossip to talk about." Talk to big brother." This guy also looked at Li Cong when he was talking, and Li Cong also wondered, this guy was considered a good person when he called him brother and brother in the past, why did he change now? It's just so wicked, such a thing is not a good thing, it is not a very good thing for anyone, and this kind of change is not what Li Cong wants to see, this guy in front of him is really I don't know what to say about him. After seeing Li Cong nodding, this guy was a little depressed. Shouldn't such negotiations be equal? I don’t know when I have been no longer equal to the big brother in front of me. When I first met him, he was not as capable as he is now. At that time, Li Cong was considered a slightly stronger person. That's it, now it seems that Li Cong at that time has passed, and now he is a very strong man, and he can no longer look at others from the previous perspective, and now is not the time to think about these problems, this guy hurry up He said, "Brother, I don't know. The Eastern Empire's pressure on me recently is not only from the two naval bases, but also on land. It was agreed at the beginning that no one can enter the border area." Yes, the army is the most important thing, but one of their cavalry regiments blatantly crossed the line. I can't take this breath, so I let my army have some conflicts with his army, and now the scale has reached more than a few million people First of all, this money is the most important thing. I have a sum of money to repay a loan of 70 billion silver to my elder brother. I wonder if my elder brother can take a break?" He didn't have any expression on his face. He knew that this day would come sooner or later. Such a thing can happen. Your Linghu family is no longer capable of occupying such a large land. Besides, people from the Eastern Empire are not Fools, they feel that it is better to give your land to the people of Cao's House than to give it to them. That's why they keep looking for you. If you can't even see this, then you are really unqualified. Although Li Cong understands these things, Li Cong can't give him the money, so Li Cong is going to refuse. The Eastern Empire needs benefits, and we need them too, especially the benefits from loans, which must be taken of. (To be continued..)
