"Although it is very surprising that you can do this, but looking back now, I can't help but feel regretful."
The mountains and rivers ahead suddenly became steeper and more difficult, but the group's progress did not stop. They bypassed a pile of rubble and continued walking deeper into the chaos.
Kate rubbed her numb calves. They had been traveling long distances for three days. As a spellcaster, she was inevitably a little tired.
Dulan, who was walking behind the team, smiled slightly and said, "You think I shouldn't let Andrew die so easily, don't you?"
The silver-haired warlock nodded and said regretfully: "It's his luck not to be able to experience the torture he personally inflicted on civilians countless times."
Duran shook his head: "Kate, to be honest, I hate Andrew more than you - but torture has no effect except selfishly venting our inner anger. It will only make us stranger and even lose ourselves."
Original nature. When facing enemies, I always think that simply killing their lives is the best way to deal with them."
Andrew's head still stayed quietly in Simodo's package at this time. In addition to the original men and horses, traveling with Duran and others were Qili and his pet White Spot in the Forest, and of course Lucky
Jamal, a veteran who survived the dragon's blood poisoning.
The hemolytic potion produced by Dulan was obviously quite effective. The great scholar went through all kinds of hardships and even traveled most of Feinan Continent to develop the potion formula that was indeed worthy of his master's honor. Of course, among this team,
, except for Jamal and Duran, everyone thought that the veteran survived by relying on his own tenacity.
Obviously, the less people know about the hemolytic agent, the better. Even Jamal, under the coercion of Duran, signed another vicious oath of silence and was able to escape with his life. The rest of the people also
I took some hemolytic drugs and the effect was very good, and three-quarters of the people survived.
Unfortunately, their survival does not mean they will live. Except for the veteran Jamal, Duran does not think that others have any value, so death after the experiment is completed. Duran has never been a cold-blooded person, but now
He is too weak, and such a huge secret is like a golden treasure, which may attract the enemy at any time, and when the time comes, the only thing waiting for him is death.
Kili is another exception. This guy was simply tricked into joining the Lord's Guard. As a simple ranger disciple, he knew nothing about a lot of common sense. He didn't even know about dragons.
The existence of the Human Empire! After talking to this guy for a while, Dulan even felt that the young man was obviously more of an authentic time traveler than himself. So after many times of enlightenment by Dulan and Kate, this guy finally changed.
own camp, and at the same time had the first impression of the world.
Of course, Jamal also contributed to this. As a veteran of the Lord's Guard, he was deeply impressed by the dragon people's methods. Of course, he himself did not seldom do things to help the tigers, but whenever it came to this, he always
Very cleverly chose not to talk about it.
So after a period of time, Qili and Baiban's perception of the Luha Empire dropped to a freezing point. With his blood boiling and homeless at the same time, he immediately expressed his hope to follow Du Lan and work together to overthrow the Dragon Empire.
Unremitting efforts - Duran, who is short of manpower, will naturally not refuse a passionate young man. In his opinion, Qili has far more potential than Jamal, and the reason why the latter can become his follower is experience;
The former is purely a space for growth.
After Andrew's death, Baisha Town once fell into chaos - more than half of the guards died suddenly, which was a very serious matter. Several vicious incidents occurred in the town in the past few days: fights, fights, robberies, etc., and even
Bergen Manor was also robbed. The civilians were terrified. Compared to the brutal Andrew, they were more afraid of the future lord.
Once the empire assigns another lord to come here, they can only pray for the mercy of the new lord - and in fact, in human proverbs, the image of "the mercy of the dragon lord" has always implied "the pretentious one"
Or a fantasy]. However, after the initial chaos, the remaining guards, with the help of the clerk and tax officer, temporarily stabilized the situation in the manor and Baisha Town. They announced a shocking news to the people——
That is the territory that Miss Chloe will inherit in Baisha Town.
At the same time, a canonized official from Big Pudding City arrived in a hurry. Without even seeing Chloe, he issued the personal appointment of the Lord of Big Pudding City. Chloe Lippi was the official
The inheritance of the White Sands territory by the last bloodline of the Lippi family after Andrew's death was recognized by them - and a letter of certification signed by Sir Pietrus confirmed the relationship between Chloe and Andrew. According to the old Sir's recollection, in
On that windy and snowy night a few years ago, the Dragon Master came to visit with an infant girl in his arms, hoping that the old Sir could serve as a witness to the poor illegitimate daughter. It is said that Chloe's name is in the Lippi family genealogy.
The life column was written by Sir Petrus himself.
Of course, no one would care that Sir Pietrus, who was always known for his good handwriting, dropped drastically when he wrote the name [Chloe Lippi] - his crooked pen was also very different from the old Sir's previous handwriting. But
All this is not unreasonable, after all, Pietrus also said that it was a windy and snowy night, and it was inevitable that the hands would be somewhat disadvantageous due to the cold weather.
Ever since, with the crude method of money clearing the way, everything was settled smoothly. Duran witnessed with his own eyes that Chloe ascended to the position of lord of White Sands Town with the help of the clerk and tax officer, inheriting the territory of "his father" Andrew
——But there is no title. Because the Lippi family originally obtained this territory as a pioneer knight, the royal family did not issue a title, but gave it a special title of [Pioneering Lord] to prove the legitimacy of its territory. However,
There is still a certain distance between him and the real nobility. This is why Andrew has few aristocratic friends.
No matter what, Dulan is happy to see that the situation has temporarily stabilized. Of course, Andrew's death report was also passed on, but it was changed from assassination to [died of illness]. No one would care about a lord from a borderland.
, and the people in Baisha Town obviously did not know. The only thing they knew was that Miss Chloe, who had always been respected by them, became the local lord. On the day when the news spread, Baisha Town celebrated for a whole night.
As for the subsequent battle of wits with the Big Pudding City, the Clerk, the Tax Officer, and others, Dulan did not intend to participate. He wanted Chloe to inherit the territory of White Sand Town just on a whim. He did not expect it to happen so easily.
It was successful. Of course, there are still three flaws in this matter, one is in old Pietrus, one is in the servant of the Lord of the Big Pudding City whom Chloe bought with money, and the last one is in the greedy clerk and tax
Although these people have no idea about the nature of the matter, what makes them choose to turn a blind eye is money. Sometimes this alliance is very strong, but at other times, it seems extremely fragile.
However, these things have been forgotten by Duran, and the headache also gives Chloe a headache. Duran believes that this always smart woman knows how to deal with these complicated relationships.
The road ahead became more difficult to walk, the atmosphere of chaos became more and more intense, and the surrounding trees had long withered - they seemed to have entered a wild world. There was no river, no green trees, and no signs of life.
"Oh my god, how can someone live in a place like this?" Jamal muttered, his eyes full of surprise.
Kate glanced at him and said proudly: "If it was so easy for you to find us, wouldn't we have been wiped out long ago?"
Under the leadership of the warlock, the group continued to move forward. They passed through many obstacles and finally arrived at a stone forest.
The road in the stone forest was very complicated with twists and turns, but Kate was familiar with the road and led them to the center.
A simple stone door appeared in front of them.
"Behind this door is our destination." Kate said concisely.
Dulan became slightly excited. The base of the Black Clothes was indeed deep in the wilderness! Behind this stone door, there should be the paradise-like place that the teacher mentioned many times - Three Towns.
