Not all magicians are cold-blooded, and not all people are born with an inexplicable sense of superiority.
When he saw someone who spoke the same language and had the same feelings standing in front of him after suffering so much, Hector felt that his heart was filled with sympathy.
After injecting the most serious patient, he walked back to his dragon mount.
Full of emotion, Hector stretched out his palm that once held the sword, caressed the dragon's body with mixed feelings, all the way to the dragon's huge head, and looked at him.
"Old friend, how about we fly again as soon as possible? Carry more supplies, they really need our help here! Compared with my previous life, I am more proud of what I am doing now." Hector said on his side
He stroked the dragon and muttered to himself.
He seemed to be recalling his past life, and he seemed to be reflecting on his past mistakes: "I used to be like a parasite, living by cruelly robbing these people of their wealth. Now I am different, I feel
The meaning of my life."
"As a knight, glory should always be with me. And glory is not given by others, but by my own spirit and my own choices. I feel that as a magician and a dragon knight, I should help those in need.
It's better to be weak instead of bullying them." After saying that, Hector retracted his palm and looked at his mount.
"Roar!" The giant dragon seemed to understand Hector's words, roared upwards, and spread its huge wings.
To those civilians, such huge fleshy wings were like tents, blocking out the sky and the sun. Amidst the rising dust, the giant dragon raised its body, staring at Hector with a pair of eyes with vertical pupils.
, seems to be waiting for his master to turn over and ride on his back.
The old man who had just helped distribute the food walked cautiously behind Hector, wary of the dragon, as if he was afraid that the monster would swallow him with just one opening of his mouth.
With great difficulty, he finally summoned up his courage and asked Hector: "Master Magician... Is there anything I can do to help? You see, you have brought us food, and we are grateful.
Thank you... We really don’t have any money or anything to dedicate to you..."
"I don't need your dedication, I'm just ordered to carry out the task of saving you." Hector felt that he deserved the respect of the other party. Now he is indeed the savior of these people, but ten years ago, he and many magicians
Like a teacher, I don’t regard these mortals as human beings at all...
Now, after getting along for a short time, he already felt that what he believed in before was wrong, and it was him who was wrong. These people are indeed living people, they also have wisdom and thoughts, and they are also living, genuine people!
So he was a little embarrassed, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and then said: "If you want to thank, you should thank the current emperor, His Majesty Chris! It was him who saved all of you."
There was one sentence he didn't say, but he buried it deep in his heart: Perhaps, His Majesty the Emperor also saved me...saved my soul.
"Besides, I really need your help with something!" As if he remembered something, Hector took out a map from his satchel and handed it to the old man: "Are there any villages nearby?
?Someone’s kind.”
"There is a village about a day's journey from here. I don't know its name. When we moved here, we passed by and there were people there..." After finishing speaking, he turned back.
, shouted to a man in the distance: "Lenk! Lenk!"
The man named Lenk immediately threw away what he was doing, rubbed his hands behind him, and trotted over.
When he got close, the old man introduced him and said: "Lunke is the best hunter here. He just went to the village next door a few days ago. What he knows about the situation is the most accurate."
"The village next door? Master Magician... The situation in the village next door is not very good. I didn't dare to go in when I went there last time because there were crows circling everywhere and there were traces of wild beasts." A hunter named Lenk
As soon as he opened his mouth, Hector felt that he was much more professional.
Just listen to Lenk continue: "There will be no wild beasts in crowded places. You know, the plague is very scary now, and I don't dare to venture into other people's villages easily... But I saw some people on the streets.
The unprocessed corpses are being torn apart by carrion birds, so the situation there must be very bad."
"Thank you, thank you for your help! Where is the approximate location of that village? It doesn't matter if you can't read the map. Just tell me which location it is and I will mark it." Hector's military map is not very detailed. After all, this place is not very detailed.
There are not many satellites covered.
"Go west from here and I can reach it around noon." Lenk pointed in a direction and answered. : :
He marked a cross on the map and then drew a straight line to represent the possible location of the village. Hecht put away the map and handed the portable locator to Lenk: "Keep this green light on.
Place it in an open place! It can guide me back here and bring back more food... Do you understand?"
Lenk took the locator, held it in his hand like a pilgrim, and solemnly replied: "I understand, sir! I will definitely protect it and regard it as my life!"
"I will come back as soon as possible." Hector nodded, and then patted Lenk's shoulder heavily.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Hector once again turned over and rode on his beloved dragon. This time, he felt like he was going on an expedition, for these strangers in front of him, for...
These were the same kind that he had not thought were the same kind.
"Long live Ailanthil!" He whispered softly, riding on the dragon's back, gently pinching the giant beast under his crotch with his feet, and then the giant dragon flapped its wings,
Blows away the dust nearby.
…
"Those demons deceived us! They bewitched those damn magicians! They tried to use a potion to control you!" In another unknown town, a city guard officer wearing armor and a sword was seen.
, shouting loudly at the top of his lungs to the gathered crowd.
In front of him stood men holding spears. These men arrogantly threw handfuls of copper coins into the crowd in front of them who didn't know what was going on.
I heard that if you come here to hear the truth about the matter, you can receive a reward. These civilians had no other good place to go, so they gathered together and listened to the nonsense of the disgusting city guards.
Although everyone didn't quite believe the so-called lies of these city guards, when they saw the real old-style copper coins, everyone was happily waiting here to get their own benefits.
"If you use the potion, you will become the devil's servants and have your brains eaten by the devil!" High above, the city guard officer was still shouting at the top of his lungs, intimidating the civilians who didn't know the truth.
"Back off! Back off! We won't be polite if we go forward any further!" Several city guard soldiers, who covered their mouths and noses with white cloth, pointed their long guns at the civilians who were about to approach and snatch the copper coins.
They were also terrified. On the one hand, they were afraid that this group of refugees would attack in groups and rob the money boxes behind them. On the other hand, they were also afraid that the plague would be transmitted to them...
These people were sent out to build momentum for Count Herman. Count Herman, who was taken away, had actually had such a plan for a long time, but had to come up with it in advance.
Their plan is to kill two birds with one stone, and it is not imprecise: on the one hand, it is to build momentum for Count Hermann and establish his great image as a savior, so as to cooperate with the subsequent charity and rescue, so that the survivors can be grateful; on the other hand, they want to stop Alan Xi
The empire's rescue plan allows more people to die in order to acquire more land and control more wealth.
It's a pity that Earl Herman was arrested, so this plan had to be implemented in advance. During the implementation process, it also had to change its flavor: these people who spread rumors would try their best to slander the Elanthir Empire and create hatred. In the end,
Caused turmoil and shaken the rule of the Elanshir Empire in the southern region.
Only in this way can the irreplaceability of the old nobility be highlighted. Finally, according to the decisive method in history, the empire had to compromise with the old nobility and old city owners, give up management rights, and withdraw the dispatched consuls.
As long as the old nobles in the southern region recognize the nominal dominance of the Elanthir Empire, they can continue to dominate the common people, continue to absorb the people's fat and anoint them, and live their lives of wealth.
Herman promised these city guards huge benefits. After the event was completed, they would receive a large amount of money and supreme power.
Those plutocratic nobles can become lords, and these city guards can evolve into warlords, or even separate themselves and become uncrowned kings.
With such a huge temptation, there is no need to charge into battle, but just spread some rumors. There is simply no more cost-effective deal than this. So these city guards immediately took action, gathering refugees everywhere and spreading all kinds of rumors.
Seeing more and more people, the city guard officer continued to shout loudly: "If you believe them, you have fallen into their trap! Only Lord Herman is the real savior!"
What he said was reasonable and well-founded, making the crowd below also become agitated: "They arrested the earl, but they didn't let earl Herman save people! Those who claim to be soldiers of the Eilandhill Empire are the ones responsible for this.
