Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

After Fianna was persuaded, she didn't stay too long, and immediately went to the back garden to rectify the kobold army and prepare for tomorrow's exploration.

Lauren looked at the girl who acted decisively and swiftly, her eyes were full of admiration.

Although Fianna's personality is a bit cold, but her style of acting has always been recognized by him.

This is not much different from the shy Ariel, the talented interior officer of the city hall who is usually shy, but never loses the chain at critical moments.

After the task was distributed, it was late at night, and Lauren returned to the room after dinner.

The moment I soaked in the hot water, I let out a long breath.

After running around in the wasteland for a whole day and having experienced two battles, exhaustion is inevitable.

After soaking comfortably for a few minutes, Lauren came back to his senses and focused his gaze on his attribute panel.

After breaking through to Silver Intermediate, the system prompts that reaching Silver Advanced will awaken new talents.

Lauren has always been keen on becoming stronger.

Close your eyes and start to enter the cultivation state.

With previous experience, he has no sense of strangeness in his practice now.

First run the Bauhinia breathing method.

At the same time as the breathing rate began to change, the phantom of the Demon Grand Duke also appeared in his mind.

The coercion of an epic life made Lauren feel as if he was standing under a mountain high, and this mountain was collapsing.

Panicked and mighty momentum, destroying the world.

Such creatures appeared on the main plane, but no one could imagine how many troops would be needed to fight against them.

Visualize, breathe...

Steady your mind, when you visualize the phantom of the Demon Grand Duke, continue to adjust your breathing rate until it completely fits the visualization.

After the bauhinia breathing method was running stably, Lauren slowly assumed a strange posture in the hot water.

The muscles of the body began to tremble in a special state like waves.

The magic power around him seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and swarmed into his body.

Devil's Breath.

Huh~

Huh~

The sound of breathing gradually became heavier, as if pulling a windmill.

After practicing the devil breathing method, the influx of magic power around him was several times faster than before.

He seemed to have turned into a huge vortex, capable of devouring all energy.

The double breathing method operates at the same time, and the speed of practice has not slowed down, but has increased by a few points.

Seems to complement each other naturally.

At this moment, a wave of magic power began to blow in the Manor of the City Lord.

Countless magical powers swarmed in.

Just after the surrounding magic power was reduced to a certain limit because of Lauren's devouring, blessing to the soul.

Lauren subconsciously opened the system panel, and his thoughts focused on the status bar of Soul Power.

In the next second, a special force erupted from the blood.

The energy that was originally lacking was immediately satisfied.

Mental toughness, physical strength, under the satisfaction of that abundant energy, become stronger little by little...

And the number on the status bar of Soul Power also began to drop slowly.

"Ding~ You have consumed 1 point of soul power."

"Ding~ You have consumed 1 point of soul power."

"Ding~..."

The influx of external magic power, coupled with the consumption of soul power, made Lauren's aura gradually rise.

When Lauren felt that his mental strength was exhausted and his body felt tired, he slowly stopped practicing.

At this moment, the surrounding magic power stopped pouring in, and the decline of soul power also stopped.

"The power of the soul can still be used for cultivation?! And the effect is so amazing..."

When Lauren opened his eyes, his face was full of surprises.

It can be upgraded for the arrow tower, it can be used for secondary job transfer for soldiers, and now it can be used for cultivation... The power of the soul is becoming more and more important.

This initially humble resource,

The future will become the focus that he must acquire.

Thinking of this, he opened the properties panel and glanced at the status bar of the power of the soul.

Soul Power: 1250

After hunting hundreds of lizardmen and more than 300 wild boars today, the power of the soul reached over 1600, and this cultivation consumed about 400 points.

And another status bar made him even more delighted.

Level: Silver Intermediate (upgrade progress 5%)

Lauren still clearly remembered that the upgrade progress was only increased by 1% after killing dozens of lizardmen today.

After a few hours of practice now, the upgrade progress has directly increased to 5%.

It's like cheating... no, he's cheating.

According to this cultivation speed, at most one month, he will be able to reach the silver level, and then try to break through the gold.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lauren's mouth curled up.

comfortable......

As the master of Huiyue City, it is impossible for him to fight on the front line every day.

After the city expands in the future, he will have to do more and more things.

And just by fighting and killing the enemy by yourself, how many can you kill every day? Don't his subordinates need to level up?

Consuming the power of the soul to increase the speed of cultivation perfectly solved this problem that made him feel contradictory... He no longer needed to compete with his subordinates for heads.

Under the service of the maid, sitting on the throne, holding red wine, commanding the army to conquer the city and harvest the power of the soul.

This is the correct way to open.

In a good mood, he stood up directly from the bathtub and stretched comfortably.

Wow~ Water droplets splashed.

But just as Lauren stepped out of the tub and put on a bathrobe, there was a light knock on the door.

"Master Lauren..."

Lauren tightened her bathrobe, frowning slightly.

"Enter!"

Yah~ The door was pushed open, and two maids with blushing footsteps walked into the room with blushing faces.

Looking at Lauren, who was still a little wet all over, his face blushed, and he shyly lifted his skirt and knelt down to salute.

"My lord, good night, butler Pole asked us to wait for you to take a bath..."

Lauren looked at the two uneasy maids and laughed dumbfoundedly.

"As I said, I don't like others being around when I'm taking a shower and changing clothes. Go and get the clothes for me and go out."

Although the maids in the manor were considered above-average, they still fell far short of his standards.

In his previous life, he was worth over 100 million anyway. After so many years of rolling in the waves, these few maids really didn't interest him at all.

"Yes, sir."

The two maids who entered the room were obviously disappointed, but they didn't dare to delay, and quickly brought a set of luxurious noble robes.

The corner of Lauren's mouth twitched, is this asking me to attend the noble dinner? ?

"It's ten o'clock at night."

"Sorry, I'll replace it right away."

The two maids were so frightened that they hurriedly took off their clothes and took out a pair of loose pajamas from the closet.

Lauren waved his hand and told the two maids to leave before changing into them.

After exiting Lauren's room, the two maids looked at each other and saw the blushing on each other's faces.

After stepping into the stairs, the slightly taller maid couldn't help but speak.

"Master Lauren...so strong."

The thinner maid spat with a flushed face, "Ah, don't be ashamed!"

"What are you afraid of? Didn't you see it just now? Master Lauren's muscles are so perfect...Goddess, if I can sleep with the master for one night, I would be willing to live a few years less!"

"Shameless, if Butler Boer hears about it, he will definitely punish you..."

The tall maid looked a little unwilling.

"I really don't know who can be seen by Master Lauren... I don't think the maids in the manor can catch the eyes of Master Lauren. Perhaps Ariel who lives in the manor has the best chance... ..."

The petite maid looked anxious.

"Don't talk nonsense, Doma, Miss Ariel is the deputy speaker of the city hall... We can't afford to offend you."

The tall slender maid said arrogantly, "It is our honor to be favored by the master, Miss Ariel's vice-chairman of the city hall was not appointed by the master himself!

Think about it, if Master Lauren hadn't taken a liking to Miss Ariel, how could he let a girl who was born as a slave hold such an important position? "

The thin maid froze for a moment, then said weakly.

"Miss Ariel is very good, and she is very capable of handling government affairs..."

"Although this is important, what's more important is Lord Lauren's attention..."

"No, Doma, I don't think you're quite right..."

The voices of the two gradually became smaller with the sound of footsteps going downstairs.

But no one noticed that a door next to the corridor on the second floor had just been half opened.

Through the half-closed door, Ariel's blushing face could be seen.

In addition, there is also the bearded Dean who is discussing work with Ariel in the house.

When De En heard the maid talking outside the corridor, his heart trembled...

Looking at Ariel with a somewhat complicated mood, she found that her daughter didn't have any annoyed expression, instead she was shy and joyful, and even more so sad.

Lord Lord, your purpose is indeed too obvious...
