William, who was dressed in black robes, and Tina, who was much older and weaker, returned to the town of Nisei, William's territory.
When he first chose to leave for Rambet Temple, William went with Tina. Now that he left Rambet Temple and came back, William also came back with Tina.
I have to say that this feeling is very strange, and William can't help but feel a little ripple in his heart.
Tina next to her was not as "sentimental" as William. She still had the same cold face as before, but she coughed from time to time, showing her weakness.
The innate ability "Soul Freeze" inherited from the bloodline of the Deep Blue Wizard did too much damage to Tina. William muttered silently in his heart, and then without thinking too much, he turned his attention to the small town in front of him.
A small town that has become strange to William!
If it weren't for the words "Nisei Town" that William was familiar with written on the gate of the town, and if the magic mirror hadn't detected people familiar to William in the town, William wouldn't necessarily be sure that this town was the one William originally built.
A small town!
The town of Nisei has changed so much. Judging from its prosperity, it can’t even be called a town anymore. It should be called a city!
He vaguely remembered that he hadn't been away for long, maybe only a year or two.
William was not very sure either. Wandering in the fairy tale world, the different flow rates of time made William's concept of time confusing.
In just one or two years, William did not expect such a big change to occur in the town of Nisei.
Although William no longer looked down upon this kind of land after he embarked on the path of a wizard, and even, due to his own radiation, he could not stay on this land for too long, but seeing the booming development of this town, he
It's like seeing your own son growing up. This feeling is unparalleled.
The corners of William's mouth raised slightly unconsciously, he glanced at Tina, and then strode towards the city gate.
The city gate was at least ten times wider, longer, and several times taller than the city walls built by William before. Many people came in and out of the city gate, and a team of well-equipped soldiers stood guard and collected fees to enter the city.
.
In this era, it was normal for the lord to charge entry fees, which was also an important source of finance for a city.
After all, not every lord has a table that can automatically turn out delicious food, or a donkey that can pull out gold coins!
William and Tina "jumped in line" and quickly came to the city gate to enter the city.
The well-equipped soldiers suddenly became angry and surrounded William and Tina fiercely, shouting, "What are you going to do?"
William had no impression of these people at all, and the magic mirror reported in his mind at the right time that these people were not the soldiers trained by William himself. No wonder William didn't react at all when he saw William taking off his hood!
William was not angry at all about the soldiers' behavior. Instead, he admired their dedication to their duties. He smiled and said, "I'm looking for old John!"
William's calm look made the soldiers hesitate. They looked at each other and made eye contact to no avail. Then a certain soldier stood up and asked loudly, "Which old John? Damn it, if you dare to make up one at will?"
Come on, tell me your name, and I'll shove your shoe up your ass!"
"Oh, are there many Johns in Nisei Town? What I'm looking for is my steward, the administrator of Nisei Town, John!" William was not angry at the soldiers' foul language and said calmly.
"Lord John?" The faces of the soldiers suddenly became solemn. The entire town of Nisei dared to say this, except for Lord William, the Baron who had disappeared all the time. He was the audacious liar from the previous year.
The liar was later exposed by Lord Administrator John, and was eventually hanged on the gallows, and finally hung on the city wall as a warning to people outside!
They were unable to determine whether William was a liar or a real person. They were just the crowds attracted by Nisei Town from outside in recent years and had never really seen the true face of the local mysterious Baron William.
Therefore, they could not distinguish the authenticity of William's claim, so they had to welcome William in and not leave, but they also sent someone to immediately notify several senior officials in Nisei Town.
After hearing the news, the fastest runner was Old John.
Old John was just an old man, not a knight. After hearing the news, he was the first to run over to confirm. However, the other captains of the guard who were cultivated by William arrived late and were still missing.
Traces.
As soon as Old John saw William's familiar appearance and expression, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he rushed to William with tears streaming down his face, and shouted, "Baron, you are finally home."
Got it!"
The soldiers who were "escorting" next to them turned pale when they heard Old John's confirmation and endorsement. They also knelt down quickly. Worried about William's possible punishment, they anxiously greeted William, the master, "Lord Baron!"
"Well! Get up!" William said casually, "You continue to do your business!"
"Yes!" Hearing the meaning of William's words, there was no intention to settle accounts. The soldiers guarding the city breathed a sigh of relief. After saluting William, they returned to their posts.
William supported Old John and smiled slightly, "Yes, Old John, I'm back!"
After a pause, William asked strangely, "Old John, my loyal butler, where is Little John? My loyal shield!"
The magic mirror searched the whole town but could not find Little John.
Speaking of Little John, Old John, who was originally calm, turned red again. He choked and said, "Baron, if Little John knows that you still remember him, he will feel very honored even if he dies!"
"
"He is dead?" William's face suddenly darkened, "How did he die?"
"Died in the battle with the lizard people!" Old John said bitterly.
When he heard this answer, it was not man-made, William didn't know what to say for a moment.
He paused for a second, and then asked Old John, whose eyes were shining with tears of grief, "Are the lizardmen still attacking the city in winter?"
"Yes, Lord Baron! In order to survive, the lizardmen's attacks never stopped in winter. It was during the battle the year before last that Little John was unfortunately hacked by some elites among the lizardmen and died! Poor!
Little Doro, he was born just over a year ago!"
William patted Old John on the shoulder to express comfort. After a pause for a few seconds, William asked, "How are you now?"
"Lord Baron, we have expanded the city gate to a thicker and longer one. Now the lizardmen's attacks in winter have little impact on us!" Although Old John was aroused with sadness in his heart, he still answered William's question meticulously.
"Yeah!" William nodded, with an incomprehensible expression on his face. Suddenly, William said meaningfully, "Are all the other people so slow?"
