Chapter 159: The Fradino Family
Chapter 159 The Vladino Family
In the 721st year of the Fantasy Beast Calendar, after half a year of disappearance, the pride of the mainland priest, the right prime minister of the Caesar Empire, the chief court priest, the vice president of the Royal Academy of Magic, and the ninth-level ancient saint Duke Vladino, finally returned to Pompeii.
The Dragon Emperor did not send Chu Tian back to Pompeii directly, but sent him to the western line of Caesars, the garrison of the Scorpion Legion. Then, under the personal escort of the Scorpion Legion, Chu Tian returned to the imperial capital under the personal escort of the Scorpion Legion Leader Tonard.
After half a year, Pompeii has not changed much. It is still the number one city in the East. The people of Pompeii are still busy and proud in the past. However, today's Pompeii is filled with a festive atmosphere because their Highness Vladino is back!
Ludi III personally led the civil and military ministers to go out of the city to welcome Chu Tian. After a grand and luxurious welcome ceremony, Chu Tian came to the long-lost Caesar Palace.
"Fradino, who are the people behind you?" In the palace, Ludi III began to interrogate Chu Tian's whereabouts over the past six months.
After introducing everyone else, Chu Tian took Julia's hand, "Your Majesty, this is my other fiancée, Julia!"
"Fiancée!?" Ludi III suddenly stood up from the throne and stared at Chu Tian sharply. "Fradino, what do you want Serena to do?"
"Praise the goddess of life!" Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled, waved his hand to signal Juliya not to speak first, and then said, "Your Majesty, can I say something to you alone?"
Although Chu Tian brought back another woman, Lu Di III still trusted Chu Tian very much. After snorting coldly, he shook his sleeves and shouted to leave the other ministers. Zhu Liya and others also left the hall under Chu Tian's instructions.
"His Majesty, please calm down!" Seeing Ludi III's anger, Chu Tian smiled calmly and said, "My subordinates will always be loyal to Caesar and to Your Majesty!"
"I know your loyalty!" Ludi III frowned. Serena was the biggest weight for him to control Chu Tian, but now Chu Tian has another wife, and Serena's role must be reduced a lot. "Who is that Julia? How did she become your fiancée!"
"Oh! Your Majesty, stop mentioning it!" Chu Tian sighed with a sad face, "I am also forced to do so!"
"Huh? Who forced you?" Ludi III was very satisfied with Chu Tian's reluctance. The anger on his face eased a little.
"Tenth-level monster. Vampire bat king Dracula!" Chu Tian slowly reported this name.
In an instant, Ludi III's anger disappeared. "Are you saying true?"
"My dearest dare not deceive Your Majesty!" Chu Tian didn't want to reveal too much of his secrets, but for the sake of Julia's future, he had to tell some of the truth: "Your Majesty, Julia is Durcula's granddaughter!"
"Then she is also a tenth-level monster!" Suddenly, Ludi III's eyes were filled with excitement.
"Julia's bloodline has not yet awakened yet, but she will become a tenth-level monster in the future!" Chu Tian said: "Julia doesn't know her identity yet, so please don't tell him for the time being."
"Oh. Forget it! Let's solve the problem between you and Julia by yourself!" As long as you can add a tenth-level battle pet to the empire, Ludi III will not care about how many wives Chu Tian will take.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As he said that, Chu Tian's expression dimmed and he said painfully: "Your Majesty, my devilish pet Apache has died in battle to save me!"
"What!?" Ludi III's anger began to rise again, and Julia, the future tenth-level monster, had not yet awakened, but now the empire has lost a real ninth-level battle pet. This loss is something that Ludi III cannot accept.
"Aren't you a holy priest? Why didn't Apache be saved?" Ludi III said angrily.
Damn, do you think I don't want to save me! Chu Tian cursed in his heart, but his face looked sad, "It was too late!" After saying that, Chu Tian raised his head and smiled slightly, "But your Majesty, I have the confidence to resurrect Apache!"
"Can you resurrect him?" Ludi III looked at Chu Tian with a smile. He understood what this holy priest wanted, "You are the right prime minister of the empire and have the right to mobilize anything that can resurrect Apache!"
The purpose has been achieved, Chu Tian no longer pretended to be pitiful, and then reported his experience over the past six months to Ludi III. Of course, many things were modified and concealed, such as Murphy, the Beast King gold medal, and the title of the God of Martial Hunting and Killing...
"Okay. Go and see Serena! She has been exhausted for your affairs in the past six months!" Apache Ludi III was in a bad mood after losing it, so she directly sent Chu Tian.
After walking out of the palace, Chu Tian returned to his Duke's Mansion, and then, Master Chu was stunned.
In Chu Tian’s memory, his Duke’s Mansion was in the south city of Pompeii, and the pharmaceutical factory occupied only one street. But now, the luxury manor of the past is gone, and it is replaced by a solemn palace. The three entire streets in the center of the southern city are all occupied by the palace.
"Damn, uncle, is this your family?" Rusina was stunned and said in surprise: "This is much better than our broken wolf den."
"This may be my home..." Chu Tian nodded blankly, because a sign of Duke Vladino's mansion hung high on a gate that was several dozen meters wide.
"Boss! You are finally back!" The servants from Chu Tian's family came out, led by Barbosa.
"Barbosa, why has my Duke's Mansion become like this!" Chu Tian asked with a scattered look.
"Haha, boss, this is no longer the Duke's Mansion." Barbosa said in a shocking voice, "This is the base camp of the Vladino family!"
Seeing that Chu Tian was still in a daze, Barbosa explained: "Boss, you should go and ask Princess Serena. You are not here for the past six months. Thanks to His Royal Highness, our Vladino family is what we are today!"
"Where is Serena?" Chu Tian asked.
"Your Highness the Princess and your other magic pets are all training family warriors in the military camp outside the city!" As he said that, Barbosa laughed proudly. "But the princess is coming back soon."
"Praise the boss! It's incredible. Boss, you actually have a family warrior!" The person who praised Chu Tian loudly was Bailey who was tangled with his face. He said, "Boss, you are the descendant of an ancient family?"
Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled. He had heard from his best friend Reggie a long time ago. There are many ancient families on the mainland, all of which are powerful, and some are no less than the mainland's powerful countries. They have their own army and their own wealth, which affects the situation in the mainland in the dark. However, in the Caesar Empire, where the royal power is concentrated, there are only Pampas's family.
The biggest difference between a family and aristocrats is force. Although the nobles have personal guards, the personal guards dispersed after their death, but the family warriors are different. They will be loyal to the patriarchs for generations and will remain unswerving until death. In fact, Caesar's mortal enemy, the Rees Empire, was supported by several large families.
It was really a bit difficult for Serena. Chu Tian was a little moved. In a country like Caesar, it was too difficult to form a family based on Serena's identity.
"Boss, the princess is back!" Barbosa shouted loudly at the sky.
In the sky, NMD's agile figure stood upright in military uniform. But Serena was extremely charming.
Juliya couldn't help but take two steps back, but was pulled by Chu Tian. Xiaobai also bit Juliya's skirt and pulled her forward.
"Fradino, I'm sorry!" As soon as we met, Serena's first words were apologizing. "Apache learned that you were in the west of the mainland, and originally wanted to ask all the demon pets to go with me, but I was worried that there would be no powerful monster at home to take care of it, so I let Apache go by myself. If it weren't for my order, Apache might not have..."
"Apache will not die!" Chu Tian gently hugged Serena tightly and smiled, "Don't forget, your fiancé is an ancient saint priest. Apache will be resurrected!"
"I believe you can do it!" Serena nodded firmly, and then smiled cordially at Julia, "This is Julia's sister, haha, so beautiful!" With Serena's affinity, the two of them soon started to have sex.
Praise the goddess of life! It’s great that they didn’t fight! Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Woooo!" Xiaobai gave Chu Tian a cold look. This bad guy is really too cheap.
"Fradino, let's go in. Some things need to be handled by you personally." After Serena handled her relationship with Julia, she turned to Chu Tian seriously and said, "There has been a lot of changes in the family in the past six months."
Chu Tian nodded, and it can be seen from the Duke's Mansion that the house has changed so much.
After settling down the others, under the leadership of Serena, Chu Tian entered the tunnel from a secret dark room and came to a wide secret room underground in the Central Hall.
The secret room is very large, with two night pearls on the top of the head illuminating, and all the four walls are rows of bookshelves filled with scrolls. In the center of the secret room, there is only a surprisingly large set of tables and chairs.
"Fradino, this is the most secret place of the family. Now only you, me, and Barbosa know this...Apache also knew it before." Serena pointed to the bookshelf on the wall of the secret room and said, "These are the most important secrets of the family."
Looking at these things, Chu Tian felt that his head was too big, and it seemed that the days of counting gold coins were a bit far away when he held his wife.
Taking out a dozen scrolls, Serena said, "This is the list of family warriors. In order not to let His Majesty worry, there are only 10,000 family warriors, but among them are the three thousand heavy-armored bows trained by Peppa and Anna. The combat power is enough to match the Caesar Iron Cavalry of a 10,000 group." As he said, Serena took out another scroll, "This is the loyalty book of Redno, the leader of the Tulong Mercenary Group. Now his mercenary group has completely defected to the family. You can also mobilize 30,000 mercenaries at any time..."
"There are few high-level strong men in the family now, so I can only recruit them later." After explaining the family's force, Serena made a request gesture to Barbosa, "I don't want to interfere with your medicine. Barbosa is all handled by Barbosa. Let him tell me the details."
"Boss, there is no problem with the pharmaceutical factory, but sometimes beef is not enough." Barbosa said, and suddenly laughed, "Other than supplying our medicines to the Imperial Army, the rest of our medicines are sold to all parts of the mainland, especially after His Royal Highness changed the name of the medicines, haha, something that can be made in a few silver coins has been sold for tens of thousands of gold coins!"
"Is it the guardian of that saint priest, and where else can I bless you?" Chu Tian asked.
"Yes, the princess said, let the local people remember your achievements forever, so our local medicines have been changed. Unexpectedly, when they heard that it was something you prepared by your boss, all the merchants were willing to buy goods at high prices. Hehe, we can't count the gold coins now."
Could this be the celebrity effect? Chu Tian scratched his head.
Chu Tian is very happy now. Serena is completely standing from Chu Tian's perspective and managing the entire family for him. It is really hard to find a wife who is both beautiful and capable.
"Well, Serena, you'll have to take care of the family's affairs in the future." Anyway, Chu Tian didn't plan to betray the Caesar Empire, so he really felt relieved to hand over the family's chores to Serena. "Barbosa, you'll handle the pharmaceutical factory. By the way, why isn't beef enough?"
"Boss, there are many bellfish, but Dior is too busy alone!" Barbosa complained: "To keep it secret, Dior is the only one who takes the bellfish, and the child is still busy outside the city."
