There were crowds of people outside the Cold Wind City, and thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the surrounded open space. A pool of blood was slowly spreading, and the originally majestic Knight Harding had lost his breath. His murderer also had his blood cooled down,
Everyone was stunned when the wind blew.
The scene was horrifying, with only the sound of breathing. The onlookers stood on tiptoe to watch but did not dare to breathe. A few untouchables really killed the noble master. They accomplished something that most people could not even imagine. This is incredible.
"This is blasphemy!" As a dignitary of Cold Wind City, Lehman could not tolerate it. He felt chilled to the bone and kept shouting loudly. The other knights around him also had angry faces. How could a noble superior die?
At the hands of untouchables?
"These five untouchables who have violated the law must be executed." Lehman's sallow face turned red and he could not restrain his anger. He rushed to Zhou Qingfeng on horseback, "Sir Hugo, as a noble, how can you accept it?"
Something so terrible?
Harding has admitted defeat and is willing to pay a ransom. But your soldiers brutally killed him, which is a great blasphemy and violation of the rule of law."
The seriously injured Alpha was carried off by several guards. The soldier who took the initiative to stand up was already in a critical condition. He was so seriously injured that it looked like he could not be saved. The other four guards who went to fight seemed to realize what they had done at this moment.
They all knelt down.
Regardless of the bodyguard or the close guard, there was silence. This was a posture of letting things go. After all, killing a noble by an untouchable is a serious crime and will never be forgiven. This has been a tradition for decades, hundreds, and thousands of years, and it is the law.
.
Under the attention of everyone, Zhou Qingfeng got off his horse. Kelly knew what he was going to do at the first sight, and shook her head and sighed. Xili quickly took out a small box from the back of "Shiying" and took out a bottle of "healing potion"
'.
"Your Excellency, what are you doing..., aren't you trying to protect the honor and dignity of the nobility?" Lehman still wanted to stop Zhou Qingfeng. However, he did not dare to step forward after receiving a glare from Xili.
Zhou Qingfeng squatted down and opened the bottle cap of the blue 'healing potion'. Alpha, who had fallen to the ground, opened his eyes like a flashback and shook his lips, but only blood came out. The latter was lifted up and spit out a mouthful of blood.
malaise.
Alpha's mouth was pinched open and the medicine was poured in.
Lehman was still beside him and exclaimed, "Such a precious thing is used on a pariah?"
The power of magic was at work. Alpha's weak breathing gradually stabilized, and his collapsed chest quickly regained its balance. In the invisible chest and abdominal cavity, the displaced and bleeding organs were functioning normally again.
Wow... Surprises replaced various doubts and shocks. The multiple reversals of the situation made more people inexplicably excited. Zhou Qingfeng ordered several armed civilians to carry the wounded onto the carriage, and then sneered at Lehman.
road......
"You just challenged me to a duel, right? I don't care about the ransom. Anyway, you don't have as much money as me. So far, anyone who provokes me will die. This is my rule and cannot be broken.
."
After putting down his words, Zhou Qingfeng led the team into the city. Marbury looked at Harding who was lying on the ground and getting colder. He didn't know whether to be sad or excited. He followed Uncle Zhou on horseback and whispered: "Your Excellency Lehman
I’m going to be so angry.”
"So what if I'm angry to death? If you have the ability, come and take revenge." Zhou Qingfeng said casually, "Maybe your father will be willing to lend my hand to eliminate the hidden dangers in your family."
"What?" Marbury was so surprised that he was speechless.
After entering the city, it was natural for him to pay a visit to the city lord. Zhou Qingfeng didn't care whether Mr. Lehman was going to be so angry that he would explode, or he was holding back and waiting for revenge. He led the team directly to the city lord's mansion of the Long Legs Family.
The mansion of the Long-Leggs family is not big, but the interior decoration is quite luxurious. Kaili and others accompanied Zhou Qingfeng in, and they were amazed when they saw all kinds of exquisite devices and supplies. Just the few landscape paintings in the living room were enough to impress them.
Lingering and forgetting to leave.
The venue where the two parties met was in the garden of the mansion. However, the flowers in the garden withered and the fountains stopped flowing. There was no money to maintain the magic barrier that separated the inside and outside, and only a greenhouse was left.
Marbury led the way until he brought Zhou Qingfeng to his father. The thin-faced Cronfield leaned on the lounge chair in the conservatory with his long legs, covered with a wool blanket. He raised his hand and pointed to the small table in front of him.
....
"Sit down, wonderful Victor Hugo. My injury is not healed yet, so I can't stand up to greet you. Your actions today are beyond my expectations. The expressions on the servants' expressions when relaying the story are indescribable. But you can come.
, I am very happy.”
It was rumored outside that Lao Changshan was seriously ill, but he looked good in person. Zhou Qingfeng sat down as he was told and looked at him with interest. The servants brought a cup of hot tea and several plates of cakes, and then everyone left, leaving only Mabu.
Serve in person.
"Your Excellency Long-Legs, you are not as miserable as the outside world described. I originally thought you were going to die soon." Zhou Qingfeng took a sip of the tea and thought it tasted good. The nobles in the North are indeed luxurious, and the sugar in the tea
It's so sweet.
Old Changshan smiled bitterly, "Don't mind if I call you Victor. The situation in the North is very confusing now, and you must have many doubts. We can talk about anything about this. If you have any doubts, just ask. I
Never hide it."
"Any questions?" Zhou Qingfeng's eyes focused, "What is the Iron Curtain?"
Lao Changshan was picking up the tea with a smile, but his hand froze. Marbury was a little confused on the side, and neither father nor son expected that Zhou Qingfeng would ask such a strange question.
"You are indeed a young man with a lot of energy." Old Longlegs sighed, "I thought you were more concerned about the situation in Cold Wind City or the situation in the North. But you asked about the Iron Curtain. Okay, I said
There’s nothing to talk about, and we have plenty of time.”
Marbury interjected and asked: "Dear Sir Hugo, why do you want to know what the Iron Curtain is?"
"No one cares about this problem?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
The long-legged father and son suddenly felt sad. It wasn't that they didn't care, but they were used to it.
Zhou Qingfeng continued: "I want to leave Beidi, leave this ghost place."
Marbury turned to be surprised, "Sir Hugo, you don't want to occupy a city in the North?"
Hahaha..., Zhou Qingfeng laughed. Followed by Lao Changshan, he also laughed, and finally Marbury also laughed at himself. The latter two laughed until they burst into tears, and Lao Changshan seemed to
Being touched, I punched the table angrily and cursed...
"Leave, we also want to leave this hellish place, but we can't go anywhere! My grandfather is "Long-Legs" Leven, a hero who once fought against demons, but as his grandson, I have become a jailer and prisoner.
My grandfather's meritorious service saved mankind, but he was rewarded with betrayal, fraud and ridicule. Those bastards in the south treated us like fools. They blocked us tightly, fearing us and hating us."
Old Long Legs punched down, and the wooden table next to the lounge chair shattered into pieces with a clang. The guards, Kelly and others who were on guard around him rushed in when they heard the sound, and only retreated again when they found out that it was just a misunderstanding.
Zhou Qingfeng glanced at the broken wood on the ground. Fortunately, he was quick and managed to save his cup of tea. Now he had nowhere to put the tea cup, so he could only take a small sip and put it on the ground.
"This sounds like a long story. But you are right, we can talk slowly when we have time. I really want to know what has happened in the Northland in the past fifty years? What is the attitude of the South towards us now?"
Old Changlegs sighed and said with a gloomy expression: "What I am going to say next are all secrets that are passed down by word of mouth and are not recorded in writing. This was originally a secret closely guarded by the seventeen city chiefs in the North, but now this secret has long been
It became a joke.”
Zhou Qingfeng immediately sat upright, serious and serious.
"It is said that more than a thousand years ago, a group of elves from Evermeet Island established Silverleaf City in the North. This group of elves were expelled from Evermeet Island, and their leader was an elf prophet who was condemned as a heretic."
Old Longlegs' voice floated melodiously in the greenhouse. When the words 'heresy' and 'elf prophet' appeared, Zhou Qingfeng felt something strange about the 'Gate of True Knowledge' he wore on his chest. He frowned in confusion...
..
Old Longlegs cursed bitterly: "Victor, you ask what the Iron Curtain is? Let me tell you. The Iron Curtain is a plane, a demiplane that invades the main material world. It is stuck in the sky above the Northland.
, is a closed space tens of thousands of meters above the ground.
The 'Iron Curtain' did not appear fifty years ago. In fact, it appeared a thousand years ago. It has always been small and everyone didn't pay much attention to it. They just thought it was an extra star in the sky.
But fifty years ago, the Iron Curtain suddenly expanded and enveloped the North. Rumors from the outside world were that the devil built the Iron Curtain. But in fact, it was the Elf Prophet from Silverleaf City who did it.
Regarding the 'Elf Prophet', we don't know much about him, and his true identity has always been a mystery. We only know that he once used a name - Marcus." bdshare();
