Charles thought for a long time before realizing what Hill meant: "The most annoying thing about you mages is that you have to make me guess when you say something. Did you bring the knights this time? Is it okay if I fight with them?"
"The undead don't know how to control the power of their skills. They always pursue maximum lethality." Hill said weakly, "One-on-one is definitely not your opponent. If you fight one more person, do you think your life is too long?"
Charles shrank and said, "Tsk, why do you sound so like Claude?"
The magician who followed Charles? It is said that he grew up with him and ate a lot of good things from Charles, so he has been following him. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine which magician would be willing to assist this giant baby.
"Please, Your Majesty the Duke, facilitate the activities of the undead in the territory." Hill asked. He thought it would be better for Charles to say so.
"No problem." Charles said lazily, "I also hope they can find something. If something happens to the Krall family, I will be sad."
Hill suspected that Charles just came to ask if he could fight the undead brought by Hill, because after being severely stopped by Hill, he quickly left without interest.
But a large part of it is for the Krall family, right?
When the undead see things, they actually use the identification technique given by the gods. Salar basically knows this now.
They can easily tell apart fake things.
"Duke Charles still attaches great importance to the Krall family." Hill looked at Manton and said.
"My uncle is in the Krall family." Manton said softly, "So he treats me very well, much better than those people from the Krall branch. So at first, I thought that woman was from the Krall family.
Those people came out to deceive me."
Only then did Hill understand why Manton didn't take action to deal with the woman.
He felt that Manton was not such a soft-hearted person.
"I'm worried that someone is watching me." Manton said frankly, "I don't dare to take action easily. After all, the count has always been there. If I really take action, I will only be labeled as patricide."
Hill nodded. It seemed that Manton had provoked a lot of people in the Krall family.
"It's meaningless to say all this now." Hill stood up, "I'm going back first. Remember to be polite to the undead."
"Don't worry about that." Manton smiled bitterly, "I've seen how difficult they are to take care of when I helped build the territory some time ago. The reason why I was assigned to defend the castle was because of those days when I was such a fool.
They have all been killed. What does the great knight mean to the undead? Whoever dares to bare his teeth will be killed by the undead."
"The undead won't easily kill people who haven't provoked them, right?" Hill was surprised.
"During that time, demons were dancing wildly. The spies also wanted to provoke Duke Charles, so there were quite a lot of people making trouble." Manton shrugged, "Duke Charles was unhappy and said he would ask the undead to set up a magical array to monitor the camp.
Soon everyone became honest. No one wanted to offend him."
Hill glanced at Manton, who had a strange expression. It seemed that they were not very sure that their camp could remain neutral.
I guess those who are neutral and evil here are all good people.
Watching Manton send him out, Hill turned around and said to him: "There are too few defensive magic circles in your castle. Taking advantage of the fact that there are more undead mages coming this time, hire them to carve more magic circles. They carve more magic circles than
It's easy for us mages, after all, we are born with elemental bodies."
Hill swallowed back a word, and the undead didn't have to worry about remembering it wrong, their strength was stable, and their hands wouldn't shake.
Manton nodded: "I plan to clean up the properties left by the earl and use them all."
He suddenly sighed: "The Earl knew that his marriage to Mrs. Melanie did not receive Master Fran's blessing, so he didn't care about her dowry. He didn't know who he listened to, thinking that a little mage would like
Alchemy will only burn all the money, and Mrs. Melanie will not leave you much money. Later, when I found out how rich an alchemist could be, I regretted it. Are you still selling it to the undead Melan?
The alchemy jewelry made by Mrs. Ni?”
Hill nodded: "Who will tell him about the undead?"
"The people of the Krall family were the ones who received the undead people when they came to help. After knowing it, they deliberately told him that the result of him not caring about Mrs. Melanie was that he lost enough money to buy the Marquis.
The property of the title."
Manton glanced at Hill: "He wants to have another child, and then try to get something good from you. After all, he didn't withhold Mrs. Melanie's things, and he thinks you still owe him. So he will look for it.
I’m not surprised that a woman from the Krall family will marry me. For other people, he knows that I am enough to prevent him from even laying an egg!”
Hill said inexplicably: "Did he forget who my mother's father was? Did he give up voluntarily? He felt that there was no need for a little money to really anger a great mage and fight him to death. He
You don’t think I can really believe his nonsense, do you?”
"Do you remember that the Duke has a half-sister? After she left Salar, she went to Noah. Later, something happened to Noah, and she ran away again. Then she went to another country. I don't know which country she went to, but someone took her with her some time ago.
I came to the Duke with a letter. Then someone from the Krall family said that you are very rich, as rich as the country."
Hill glanced at the sky indifferently: "It doesn't matter. The rich one is my grandfather. Of course, compared to ordinary nobles, I do have a lot of money. They are not for money, but because I have made some good things for the king, and how to make them
I provided it. I guess someone wants it. The count has taken the potion I gave him, and he has a natural blessing on his body. Even if he dies, his soul will not be caught."
Hill felt that if they were coming for him, they probably didn't want to kill the count. The countess might have known something, so she did something in the middle and killed the count directly.
Manton nodded. This was what he was afraid of. Demons were good at playing with souls, and they knew it. Of course, it had to be the soul of an evil person, and he had to voluntarily fall into the abyss.
But people like the count, aren't they innate seedlings of the abyss?
He would not give up his life for the sake of his children and grandchildren.
Manton would never want a demon to show up one day and ask him to call him daddy.
He glanced at Hill and estimated that he also had this kind of blessing. As a son of nature, Hill should have no problem saving some souls from the devil.
He is very self-aware. There are indeed many demons in the abyss that are stronger than Hill, but they will not look at useless guys like them. Anyone with that ability would have gone to find William long ago.
"That princess?"
"She has not participated in those treasonous things, so His Majesty the King will not care about her. Anyway, this kind of person who even has nothing to do, but even Obastian does not dare to treat, will never want to return to Salar in this life."
Er looked at Manton and said, "No matter what they do, just don't get involved. It's all for His Majesty the King to make money, and only fools dare to reach out."
After saying goodbye to Manton, Hill sat on the boat and flew back.
He originally thought he would have to stay for two days, but who would have thought that the count would die like this? Manton didn't even want to wait a minute longer and hurriedly buried him.
Hill sat quietly by the window, lost in thought.
If he had not recognized the countess, his attention would have been on the princess.
But that princess must be uneasy and kind to Hill.
Manton must have heard something from the earl before he said that.
He quickly said this when he realized that Hill had no interest in continuing to contact him.
Otherwise, after Hill completely ignores him, all the calculations in his mind will be useless.
Hill also indirectly told him that he had helped them keep their souls from falling into the abyss, and he would no longer care about other things.
But what exactly did Manton want to say?
The person who told the Earl that Melanie had no money was the culprit who made the Earl completely lose his patience with Melanie?
By the way, indirectly crying about poverty? Explain, even if he gets all of the earl's property, he can't keep it?
Anyway, since Hill is so rich, why don’t you worry about those things with him?
Hill sneered. Since Melanie was defeated by relying on the Krall family, don't think about finding Melanie's son to deal with the Krall family.
Hill had no interest in playing brotherly tricks with him.
Hill had to admit that the reason why he remained silent and didn't mention the countess to anyone was because the timing of the count's death was really favorable to him.
Before being promoted to Legend, the last person who might cause trouble is gone.
No matter how indifferent he was to the count, he could not just watch the count die because of himself.
Although he would not compromise with the enemy for the count, Hill still had to try his best to save this man's life.
Hill knew in his heart that the Earl was not a good person, but he did not treat Hill materially badly.
He was just indifferent, didn't want to see him, and didn't think about giving him much property.
But for noble children, he still gave Hill the most basic things.
No one would consider what a child would look like in such an environment where his biological father takes the lead and ignores and excludes him.
This world does not consider psychological damage. Not being strong enough, being sensitive and easily hurt are just synonyms for the weak.
Now that Hill is the winner, no one would think that his childhood was torture. At most, it could be said that it was his childhood misfortunes that made him strong.
In a fantasy world where the will of the world is very active, Hill doesn't want to change his alignment easily, so he can't do many things.
He has never cut off contact with Manton, and he must pay attention to the count and not cause any big trouble for him.
Fortunately, Manton is a greedy and petty man.
Hill could sense the underlying meaning of Manton's last words.
It's not that I don't want to inform you about the count, but if you come, the count will probably want to come to you with the money.
Since you are so rich, don't worry about me. Anyway, I helped you avoid trouble.
Hill looked at the stars in the sky and smiled sincerely.
Of course he won't argue with Manton, and it's too late to thank him.
