He had heard of this man, one of the four heavenly kings in the hands of the devil.
The land where the Black Village is located is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Nantian King and is his territory.
It's just like Baicheng in country A, King Nantian never cares about the life or death of Heicun.
"So fast..."
What I was most worried about finally happened.
It seems that I went a little too far in order to preach.
But now that the matter has come to this, we can only face it head on. Bai Yi asked:
"Is it King Nan Tian himself?"
"No, yes, it's his subordinate Lan Huo."
"Blue fire?"
"A dark knight, the absolute confidant of King Nan Tian."
Speaking of the Dark Knight, Bai Yi remembered it.
Some time ago, there was a battle between Country A and Nantian Wang on the border. Bai Yi seized the opportunity and took Dole Heimu to sneak attack Country A's supply depot and killed a fat brave man.
At the front line at that time, the person responsible for fighting the brave seemed to be a Dark Knight general.
It is said that he was beaten to pieces by a brave man, and his armor was thrown away, making him very embarrassed.
——
The Dark Knight is a special kind of demon.
It doesn’t just refer to any kind of demon clan.
They are mutated demons who have become the legendary "undead".
Of course, the immortals here are not really immortal, but their vitality is extremely strong, making it difficult to kill them completely.
Usually those who can mutate into Dark Knights are usually high-power characters among the demons, absolute elites.
Its body may be a mutated goblin, a minotaur, or something else.
——
"Where are they?" Bai Yiwen.
"Black Village."
"Were there any conflicts with the locals?"
"No, I'm just asking why Black Village became like this. I was afraid of offending King Nantian... so I didn't dare to let the militia take action."
"You are right, they are here for me. There is no need for Heicun to involve himself."
"City Lord, why don't we run away."
Lao Yang looked worried, but his eyes were extremely serious:
"I have already discussed it with the village representatives. We will go wherever you go. We believe that as long as we follow you, sooner or later we will make a comeback."
The lake next to Black Village is particularly attractive and can feed the people of Black Village.
However, once Nantianwang's people take over Heicun, the lake will have little relevance to the villagers.
This is the view of most Black Villagers. After all, in their world view, the nobles above never care about the lives of the people at the bottom.
They just pick peaches and greedily swallow everything.
Rather than being captured by them later and sent to the army to do hard labor, it would be better to run away with Bai Yi from the beginning.
——
"Run? Where to run?"
Regarding Lao Yang's suggestion, Bai Yi smiled bitterly.
"But if we don't run away, we're all doomed."
The old sheep was so anxious that he was running around in circles.
"Okay, don't worry, I will find a way. Besides, didn't he kill people and set fires? It means he came to talk about the matter. It's too early to draw a conclusion now.
You go back first and calm down the mood in the village, and I will figure out what to do next."
"But……"
"Go back, this is an order."
"Okay, okay..."
The old sheep left, and I was very nervous when I left.
As soon as he moved forward and backward, Lu Ya pulled Bai Yi's sleeves with a worried look on his face.
"It's fine."
Bai Yi smiled and touched her head, and then called the bird dealer to ask for his opinion.
"Dark Knight Blue Fire? If I guessed correctly, he should be here for Dole."
"Doll?"
"Yes, Lord Brave, now that Nan Tian Wang is at the bottom of the Four Heavenly Kings, he will inevitably want to recruit troops to expand his power.
I think... the reason why he is targeting you is because he heard that there is a magic dragon here in Baicheng."
"So he's here to recruit people?"
"I'm afraid so."
"Thank you, bird dealer. If you say so, I'll be sure."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yi immediately found Dole.
She is roasting rabbit in the kitchen.
Bai Yi was shocked:
"You just had dinner...oh no, I want to see you for something, Lan Huo is here."
"Lan Huo? That confidant of King Nan Tian?" Dole frowned slightly.
"right."
With that said, he basically explained the general situation.
But after hearing this, Dole’s brows widened:
"Isn't this great? I'm worried about not having a chance."
Yes, Dole's purpose from the beginning was to retrieve the body of the former Demon Lord Kyle.
And the corpse is in the Demon King's City, located in the rear area. If it weren't for the higher-ups of the Demon Clan, there would be no way to get there.
Therefore, if you can take this opportunity to join the Nantian King and become a cadre of the Demon King, you will have a logical reason to go to the Demon King's Castle in the future.
——
"You mean to accept the recruitment?"
"Yes...of course, I can't do it alone, you have to go too."
"What should I do?"
"Do you think I can handle everything by myself? Although I hate to admit it, you are indeed smarter than me. Sometimes I wonder if you are a prophet, as if you can remedy any problem in time no matter what happens."
Bai Yi's view depends on his trip to the Daughter's Kingdom.
Because Bai Yi saved Dole's life and took her out of danger many times.
This kind of illusion, which is similar to the prophet, Dole attributed it to Bai Yi's intelligence.
After all, she didn't know that all of Bai Yi's information was exchanged for his life.
——
"You promised me that you would resurrect Kyle. Now that you finally have the opportunity, you won't turn your back on your promise, right?"
Dole took a bite of rabbit meat and stared straight at Bai Yi.
Bai Yi thought briefly and came up with an idea:
"Of course not. It would be better to say that going to the outside world will help me better preach. But the question now is...why do people like me? What if he only wants you and doesn't want me?"
"What's so difficult about this? The decision is in my hands. I'll tell him clearly that if you don't go, I won't go either. If that doesn't work, I'll just fall out and have a fight."
"Will this work?"
"I know Nan Tian Wang and Lan Huo quite well. They appreciate loyal subordinates. As long as I show enough loyalty to you, they will look up to me."
"All right……"
——
He didn't wait for the other party to come to him.
After placing Luya at home, Dole, who transformed into a dragon, drove Bai to the Black Village.
The two sides met on the lake on the border.
At that time, Lan Huo was crossing the river with about a hundred of his subordinates.
Just like him who is dressed in black armor, all his subordinates are also Black Knights.
It's just that his subordinates are still normal creatures.
But he himself is a thing with no face and blue will-o'-the-wisps coming out of his helmet.
——
As Dole landed, the other party stopped, and then Bai Yi jumped to the ground and chuckled:
"I wonder what the purpose of Mr. Lan Huo's sudden visit is? You should have informed me in advance. In this way, I can also prepare a reception banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust for you."
"You are the magic stick the villagers say you are, right?"
Lan Huo said, looking at him with a bad tone, but the next moment he seemed to have come back to his senses, and said in astonishment:
"Take, do you want to take the feast? Is there any meat?"
The speed with which he changed his face was so fast that it was hard to tell whether he was serious or joking.
