In the Helford Manor, the local cowboy Huck was leaning next to Jiang Xia and talking to him.
I haven't seen him for a while, and he has changed a lot.
He changed his previous sloppy clothes into a more refined set that looked like a noble hunting suit, and he also proudly bought himself a gray-green short cloak.
After tidying up his messy hair and washing his face, this guy looked like a decent human being.
He is now also an official bloodline member.
As a formal member of the Vaslo Witch Hunting Society, he had to maintain the proper status and the witch hunters recruited under his command were also upgraded to new ones.
Everyone has sophisticated witch-hunting weapons.
The horses they rode were also replaced with real war horses.
It must have cost a lot of money to replace this set, but the Sals Hunting Group is now the Helford Family's retainer hunting group, so they don't have to worry about spending money.
Although the noble family that ruled Fuxi County had fallen into decline, its foundation was still there, and it was not a problem to support a hunting group of more than a dozen people.
"Boss, that prosthetic arm is amazing."
Huck put his cowboy hat on his chest and said to Jiang Xia, who was sitting on a chair drinking pure noble black tea:
“Jack was so happy that he almost went to heaven. He thought his left hand would be disabled forever, but I kept telling him that the boss was a noble man who kept his word.
It turns out that the boss’s kindness is as unquestionable as his power.”
“You…”
Jiang Xia was a little stunned by this flattery.
He looked at Huck, at the sincerity in the greasy fellow's face, and he said:
"You and Old Four will definitely become good friends."
"Old Four?"
Huck asked doubtfully:
"Who is that? Is it another of your followers, Boss?"
"Well, he is my employee, just like you, but he is more powerful than you now. He has taken charge of a consortium for me and is doing a good job."
Jiang Xia drank a sip of tea and said:
"Here's a chance for you to get to know each other, now, don't get stuck around me.
Go find Jasmine and ask her to sign a contract with you. After she signs, you will be my official employee."
"Oh, okay."
Huck's face was all smiles.
He had previously watched Miss Jasmine "sign a contract" for Master Saen. Although it was a bit horrifying, she used a drill to drill into the skull and then implanted a delicate chip into the brain.
This process made Huck turn pale with fear.
But it is in line with the majestic image that Jiang Xia should have in his mind.
After all, a witch hunter master always has magical methods of one kind or another.
Perhaps, this is also a kind of mysterious power that he has never seen before. At least Master Saen did not reject this power after waking up.
Huck was a very good observer.
When he saw how calm Master Saen and the Baroness were, he knew that if he wanted to become Master Jiang's true confidant, he had to overcome this hurdle.
Jiang Xia watched Huck put on his woolen cowboy hat and walk towards Jasmine's makeshift tent.
He thought to himself.
This guy really looks like the fourth one.
They are all small people who are unwilling to be lonely. If he can accept the fourth brother taking power under his command, he can also accept Huck's struggle in the workplace.
Unfortunately, this cowboy never lived and died with Jiang Xia.
The trust he has in Jiang Xia's heart is far less than that of Lao Si, who fought for Lao Jiang with his life. Trust is something that cannot be gained by listening, but also requires time to grow.
A few minutes later, footsteps were heard behind Jiang Xia.
“It’s a magical machine.”
There was a hint of incredible amazement in old San's signature hoarse voice. The old hunter wore a gentleman's hat and pretended to put a gold-rimmed monocle on his left eye.
Used to cover up one's heterochromatic pupils.
But in the vision of his left eye, the data that was constantly collected from all around and the various magical functions amazed old Saan.
“I once heard my father say that before the Old World was destroyed by monsters, scholars also imagined the future world. They were sure that the power of steam and machinery would push the world into a new era.
But unfortunately, this prophecy can no longer be realized in this bleak doomsday.
And I never thought about it.
I will one day see the future that has already fallen."
Old Sane spoke very emotionally. He stroked the silver iron sheet beside his left ear and felt the baroness's shouting .
A smile also appeared on that old face.
“This is truly the future.”
Jiang Xia, who was sitting on a chair, raised his left hand and spread out the bionic material in the palm of his hand. Some components of the new prosthesis were replaced, and now a mechanical rod supported an exquisite, bee-like tiny drone.
As Jiang Xia watched silently, the wings of the tiny drone spread open, and it flew up like a bee, soaring into the sky and overlooking the ground from high above.
The entire Helford Manor and the surrounding scenery were reflected in Jiang Xia's eyes.
He said:
"If you are willing to give up something, I can show you more of the future. The power of machinery will make you stronger and indestructible.
Combined with the power of your bloodline, Sarn, you will become the most deadly witch hunter on this continent."
"never mind."
The old hunter pulled out a chair and sat next to Jiang Xia. Old Jiang fine-tuned the chip frequency band and shared the images he saw with Old Saen's frequency band.
The two of them sat on the grassy hillside as if basking in the sun, and no one spoke.
But during the communication, the two continued their conversation.
"I have already used the potions and talismans you sent me, and they are very effective. The healing potion and the magic potion are more effective than those made by our alchemists.
It tastes better too.
As for those talismans with different effects.
I can't comment on its working principle, but it is indeed the defensive and offensive weapon that witch hunters need most, but its style is a bit weird.
Maybe you could make it more in line with the style of our world.
Such as scrolls, emblems, etc."
Old Sarn said:
"And those weapon embryos.
It is very well made and has great firepower. If it is strengthened with spirit possession, it will be an excellent witch hunting weapon. You said you want to do business, is this all your products?"
"Of course not."
Jiang Xia transmitted a piece of information to Lao San's frequency band.
He said:
“People in your world can gain power, the kind of power that bloodline people can feel. We call it aura, and you call it magic.
Unfortunately, you have no idea how to use it.
Even the witch hunter master only practices blindly without any system and only uses it in a rough and primitive way. However, the secret of magic is not as simple as you think.
This secret technique.
This is the first attempt I give you. Maybe you can try to practice it. If it works, I will continue to provide you with more secret scrolls.
What I want to sell in your world...
It's power!
It’s power in every form you can think of.”
Old Sarn did not answer.
He carefully studied the information transmitted by Jiang Xia. After several minutes, he said:
“This is a piece of knowledge that teaches me how to purify magic power. According to it, I can gather the magic power of the wind element into the shape of a sharp sword.
This is indeed no different from the magic in the legend.
I will practice it by heart, thank you for your generosity, boss."
"Well, I like this name very much."
Boss Jiang smiled, flicked the ash off his cigarette, and said seriously:
“You’re going to be very busy over the next few months.
I need ashes.
A large amount of ashes, this is your next job. With your superb level of spirit possession skills, I will also send some high-quality embryos over.
You can process them, make them into fine products, and then sell them to me.
You can pay with pills, talismans, weapons, secret techniques of cultivation, or even advanced prosthetic limbs like the one Jack uses, as long as you need them.
I will provide them to you.
Helford Manor can be turned into a workshop to conceal its true identity.
If our cooperation goes well, I think within a year, your family will be able to regain its wealth and power."
"Yes, I have no doubt about that."
Old Sarn nodded and said in the communication:
"But I also have worries, Helya, as you just saw. She learns quickly and grows rapidly, but even though she doesn't say it, I can feel it.
Like me, she wanted to go to the Old World for adventure and rescue her parents.
She is still weak now, but she won't always be weak.
You gave her a scroll of secret techniques before, and she practiced diligently every night. A few days ago, I saw that she was able to use her magic power to release a magical shield.
Her body was becoming purer and stronger every day. She thought she could hide it from me, but I could feel it clearly.
Perhaps in a few years, Helya will catch up with my strength.
She has all the qualities to become a powerful witch hunter, all she lacks is experience and training.
This worries me a lot.
Not worrying about her progress.
I am worried that she will take risks. Alas, the girl has grown up and I am powerless, let alone restricting her. "
"don’t worry."
Jiang Xia said calmly:
“I want to go to the Old World, too.
The quality of the ashes from the new colony is not good enough. In my opinion, that continent full of monsters is a treasure trove of countless treasures, which are at your disposal.
When you return, I, my subordinates, and my legion will accompany you."
"You have a legion?"
Old Saan asked in a surprised tone.
Jiang Xia thought of the Black Hand Society that was growing stronger in the wasteland, and he said casually:
"Yes, a legion, a legion that can scare you. Let the Lady Baroness grow up quickly. As my spokesperson in this world, the more powerful she is, the better.
That's right.
I brought her a present.”
Jiang Xia flicked his finger, and the small porcelain bottle containing the foundation-building pill was thrown to Old Saen, saying:
“This magical potion will make it easier for her to advance.
It seems that there is no such thing as thunder tribulation in your world, but I heard that as your magic power increases, you will be pulled and pulled by the power of darkness.
This is also another form of disaster.
No matter which world you are in, it is not easy to gain power. Keep it. It will be very useful to her."
"Um."
Old Saen thanked him and put the "magic potion" close to him. Then he heard Jiang Xia say:
"Helia is a girl with a pure heart. There are some things I can't tell her, for fear that she will be too kind-hearted to be cruel. But I can tell you.
In addition to the chip, I also put other things in Huck and the others’ heads.”
Jiang Xia looked at Old Saen, pointed at his head, made an explosion gesture, and said:
"After I leave, you will have the highest authority over the communications system in this world. If they show any signs of rebellion..."
"I understand."
The old butler stood up expressionlessly, leaned towards Jiang Xia, and said:
"This is our great cause, and I will pay close attention to them. But you don't have to worry too much about that kid Hake. He has moved his family and wife to the manor as Helya's subjects.
He is very smart.
He knows how to show you his loyalty.
There is one more thing. As long as our products flow into the witch hunter circle on a large scale, they will definitely be noticed by the Vaslo Witch Hunting Society. There are indeed many righteous people in that organization.
But the darkness hidden within it is no less than that outside.”
Old Sarn said:
“Do you want to take the initiative to contact them?”
"You be the judge."
Jiang Xia also stood up, stretched his body in the sunshine, and said:
"First, keep them stable and avoid conflicts. You can use their channels to strengthen yourself. This world is big enough to accommodate different forces.
We are businessmen, and for us the price of bloodshed is too high.
Okay , the contract is signed and I should leave.
See you next time as agreed. Good job, Director Sarn. I look forward to you hunting for more wealth for me.
One last thing.
Kisaragi, come here!"
Following Lao Jiang's call, Ruyue, who was looking at the scenery of the other world at the bottom of the hill, wearing a slim cowboy outfit and standing with her hands on her waist, stretched out her hand to press down her cowboy hat, and walked up the hillside with a nimble movement.
The former prostitute had now completely changed into another person. She looked at the old San in front of her with a very calm gaze, as if she was examining him.
Jiang Xia pointed at Ruyue, who had an expressionless face like an iceberg, and said to Old Saen:
“This is my secretary. According to your time, she will learn how to fight and hunt monsters under your guidance for the next three months.
I have only one request, Sarn.
You have to use the fastest method to make my Ru Yue strong and become a real witch hunter. You have to teach Ru Yue with all your heart, just like you taught Helya.
She, like you, will join us in our common cause.
The stronger she is, the more secure our cause will be.
I leave my staff in your hands, Sarn.
Three months later, I want to see a truly reborn Deadly Huntress!"
