Among the three towns, the residential buildings in the remaining areas are all in the traditional northern style - high eaves, the highest two-story wooden building, smooth lines, and rough foundation stones constitute the unique symbol of the Tussocian people.
Only the architectural style in the third district is completely different from other places. Dulan can feel it after walking for more than ten steps - compared with other areas, the housing architecture here is more serious and even almost dull, and every building unit is almost exactly the same.
, and they are all single-story bungalows.
The roof of the house is slightly arched upward, and even the angles of the arches between the houses are almost exactly the same - this is the conclusion that Duran came to with an accuracy of 0.1 degrees using the [Reconnaissance] skill. Such a monotonous and neat building complex
As soon as one enters, one can feel a special solemn atmosphere. Besides Kate, there are two men in black who accompany Duran to the depths of the third area. They seem to be official members of the black people.
Just when Kate finished speaking, the road ahead reached an intersection, and from the other end of the intersection, three people stood.
It seems that Kate's description is not very accurate, it is not "they are coming", but "they have been waiting for Duran".
Dulan looked at the two men in black who accompanied him and Kate. However, their faces were covered with thick black gauze, and they could not see any expressions. They seemed to have no intention of interfering in the affairs here. But his perception was so strange.
He was so high that he noticed any change in the eyes of the two men in black - he could keenly feel a trace of amusement flashing in the eyes of one of the men in black.
It seemed like they knew each other. Dulan sighed secretly in his heart. He came in too hasty and had not had time to establish prestige among the people in black. More people were willing to believe that Kate had done something more wrong in the process of getting rid of Andrew.
As for Dulan, he is just a lucky boy.
"Hello, Sean." At this moment, Kate took the lead and greeted the person opposite.
Dulan didn't interrupt, and Kate's face was obviously a little nervous. If it could be resolved peacefully, he wouldn't bother to use force, which would be a favor to Kate.
The leader of the three is very tall. He has golden hair that is as dazzling as the sun at noon - such a hair color is rare among Tussocians. His skin is very fair.
, but he is definitely not the kind of idle person. After taking a few glances, Duran finished exploring the strengths of everyone present.
The strength of the two men in black behind him is about the middle level of Silver, which is about the same as Kate. Among the three people in front, except for the guy in front who is at the peak of Silver, the other two guys are not even at the threshold of Silver.
Didn't touch it.
"No wonder the men in black chose to stay in a corner and could only choose lords in remote mountainous areas to assassinate. It's not that they don't want to, but they are too weak." Dulan shook his head in his heart. For the vast lands in the central and northern parts of the empire,
, even the famous Big Pudding City in the south is just a rural place. In fact, this is indeed the case. The fact that the black people are able to stir up troubled waters in the south has something to do with the weakness of the south. But even so, and
Compared with the young dragon nobles in Big Pudding City, the strength of the main members of the black-clothed group is still inferior.
Take Sean among the trio as an example. Although his strength is at the peak of Silver, he is estimated to be around 24 or 25 years old. With his talent, even if he studies hard day and night, he may not have a good opportunity.
In this life, at best, you can only enter the golden realm, and you won't even be able to touch the threshold of the master realm.
The golden strength of Rudy and Sinclair are both qualified to serve as the leaders of the black people. It can be seen that the overall strength of this organization is not strong. The reason why it can have a certain prestige among the people is that it has the advantage of assassination. After all, assassination is not a duel, no matter it is
Poisoning, assassination or other methods, as long as the enemy can be killed, it does not necessarily require that the assassin is much stronger than the enemy.
Such low strength is also one of the reasons why the black-clothed people were destroyed by the Dragon Prince later. If you want to change this situation, you will definitely not be able to rely on the current development alone.
"Although the three towns are a paradise, the number of people is still too small. Not only is there a lack of fresh troops, but the young people who grew up here will inevitably lack knowledge. Even if they have amazing qualifications and unlimited potential, they will still be a bumpkin when they go out." Dulan thought secretly in his heart.
.
Sean saw Kate accompanying Duran and showed a forced smile: "Hey, Kate, it's rare to meet you."
Kate looked at Sean and said calmly: "This is Du Lan, a disciple of Mr. Qiu and a candidate for the next leader..."
"No, I don't need your introduction." Sean nodded, his eyes focused on Dulan: "I have heard of Mr. Dulan's name for a long time, but I didn't expect..."
"What didn't you expect?" Dulan showed a bright smile.
Sean's words were interrupted by Duran, with a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes. He raised his voice and said, "I just didn't expect you to be much younger than I thought."
Du Lan smiled and said: "There will always be a deviation between reality and imagination, right?"
Sean was obviously annoyed by Duran's indifferent attitude. Kate coughed: "Sean, Duran and I are going to attend Mr. Qiu's funeral. I'm sorry."
After saying that, she naturally took Duran's arm and prepared to turn to the right.
Duran chose to obey without any obstacles. Who knew that at this moment, Sean suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
The smile on Dulan's face gradually calmed down.
Kate's eyelids twitched and she said calmly: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Sean said loudly: "Kate, believe me, the next leader of the black people will definitely not be the boy next to you."
Kate frowned.
"On the contrary," Sean became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face turned slightly red: "I am the one who performs best among the men in black! Even if I have to choose a new leader, I am more qualified than that kid! He is just
It's just good luck that Mr. Qiu's relics are in his hands, but it doesn't mean that he is qualified to inherit that position!"
"I don't know what got you so blinded that you actually spoke for that kid in front of the leaders, but I will defeat him in the battle for the leaders!" Sean stared at Duran fiercely, as if the latter was a complete and utter villain.
liar.
"Enough!" Kate said rudely: "Mr. Sean Blatch, the position of the leaders in black is determined by the other two leaders, and neither you nor I can decide. What's more, today is Mr. Qiu's funeral.
Isn't it rude to talk about this before a funeral? I think I understand your ambitions for the leadership, so I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she took Dulan's arm and turned to leave.
Sean's face was red and he seemed to be shaking with anger. His eyes widened, and the two companions around him did not dare to come forward to comfort him.
Duran looked back at Sean, shrugged, and muttered: "What she meant is what I meant."
Sean gritted his teeth, stared at Duran's back, and suddenly shouted: "Lucky boy, do you dare to have a duel with me?"
Dulan stopped, and Kate tried to keep walking with her arm in his arms, but found that the latter was not moving at all. She looked at Duran with some worry, and the two men in black who followed him also looked like they were watching the show.
"Mr. Sean, you can be more detailed." Duran said calmly.
Sean puffed up his chest: "A man's duel, fight me. If you lose, please give up your position as the leader of the black people - and stay away from Kate, do you hear me?"
Du Lan suddenly felt dumbfounded, and immediately lost all intention of competing with Sean - this guy is already in his mid-twenties and is still as immature as a middle school boy. It seems that he still has some interest in the silver-haired warlock.
, but this method is too silly, right?
He looked at Kate, whose pretty face was slightly red, but she showed a look of pleading towards Duran.
Du Lan's heart moved and he said cheerfully: "Okay, time and place."
Sean was overjoyed: "Just after Mr. Qiu's funeral, well, tonight, how about the pasture to the east of District 1 of Three Towns?"
Dulan nodded resolutely: "No problem, you have to go early, I swear I will definitely go." He silently added in his heart, "I won't go, I will let you wait until dawn alone", and then he
Ignoring Sean again, he and Kate left the place quickly. (To be continued.)
