Luxurious velvet blankets almost wrap the entire room, and exquisite furniture clearly highlights the wealth of the owner's family.
There are several exquisite pastries in front of the table, accompanied by a pot of high-quality tea. There is also an aromatherapy lamp burning beside the table, exuding light fragrance and filling the room. The smell is fragrant but not greasy.
People feel refreshed.
This incense should be taken from the saliva of the giant whale in the South China Sea, and then processed by pharmacists and mixed with a variety of plants. Its value is quite high. The price of this small piece burning on the table is enough to replace several clothes.
Excellent armor.
Richard had just finished bathing and was wearing a robe, leaning lazily on a chair. The maids on both sides brought snacks to Richard's mouth from time to time.
Richard rushed all the way from Longxing Pass to Fort Newman. Although he was not too tired, the journey was still dusty. It was extremely comfortable to take a bath, change clothes and rest in Fort Newman.
Although the Newman family has lost the martial virtues of their ancestors, they are far superior to their ancestors in terms of enjoyment. This kind of enjoyment is also the first among the nobles in the royal capital. Nobles from the north like Richard have never enjoyed it.
The Newman family lives like this. At least it will burn off several sets of armor after a short period of time. He is reluctant to use it, that is, it doesn't feel bad to use someone else's.
Although Amin has an eccentric personality in the eyes of Earl Newman, he is not a fool or pedantic. When Richard arrived at Fort Newman, he quickly received Richard and his party with the highest standards. In addition to Richard, he also had the National Protector Sword.
Saint Keshid and others began to enjoy a luxurious life under Amin's arrangement. Anyway, everything they enjoyed in Fort Newman was ready-made.
The only drawback is that there is always a faint smell of blood in the castle that never goes away. Even if Amin and his men clean it repeatedly, the blood foam that penetrates into the soil cannot disappear in a short time.
Richard and his party were all people with keen senses. As soon as they entered Fort Newman, they could notice that a killing had occurred here not long ago. However, the people who were killed in the mountain of corpses and sea of blood did not care about this at all and had no scruples.
Lived in the castle.
Outside the door, Natalie stood loyally by the side, guarding Richard's safety. As an undead creature, she was the one who least needed rest among them.
At the steps not far away, a young man with a hooked nose and bright eyes kept kneeling in front of him and did not move for a long time.
This face was paired with extremely lively eyes. Even when he saw it for the first time, Richard couldn't help but take a second look. Otherwise, this face alone looked like he had a fierce temper, even if he was kneeling on the ground.
On the ground, he also had a fierce look. In this era where faces are more important than later generations, people with faces like this are usually not liked by others. It is no wonder that A Ming has not been valued by Earl Newman.
However, the so-called sinister appearance was just like that in Richard's eyes. It just aroused Richard's curiosity and took one more look.
After all, in Richard's eyes, there are only two types of men's looks, those who are not as handsome as me and those who are almost as handsome as me. Ah Ming is obviously still far behind.
"The Newman family colluded with the divine religion and attempted to betray the human race. Please punish Master Richard!"
Ah knelt on the ground, actually asking for forgiveness for the Newman family who had almost been killed by him. But at this time, he was the only adult male in the Newman family, and the rest were women and children. He didn't know what else to do.
punish crime.
"Haha, let him in. He has done nothing wrong. Why is he kneeling outside all the time?"
"Master Richard lets you in."
Natalies outside the door simply conveyed Richard's order. After a very cold word, she continued to remain silent, with a very cold attitude.
"yes!"
A Ming got Richard's order and walked into the house. Facing Richard who was leaning lazily, he was a little cautious and stood there as if waiting for Richard's next order.
With the addition of the dual status of a saint-level powerhouse and the king of the North, Richard's power has unknowingly risen to a level that he has not yet adapted to. People like A Ming feel a little uncomfortable in front of him.
It's natural.
"Ah."
"sit down."
Richard chuckled lightly and ordered A Ming to sit down in front of him.
A Ming, who was originally covered in blood, had already finished grooming and changed into a set of neat clothes, but the bloody smell on his body would not dissipate in a short time.
Richard didn't care. Seeing that A Ming was a little nervous sitting in front of him, he simply took the initiative and asked:
"I heard that you took the initiative to contact the people in Yusidu?"
"yes!"
"At that time, you already knew that it was your father who was colluding with the remnants of the Rising Sun Cult?"
"There are already some speculations."
Yusidu relied on the power of the Northland and Richard's money regardless of the cost to expand very quickly in the kingdom. Not only did it weave a large net in the Northland, but its tentacles had already extended into the entire Central Plains. This time
Under Richard's order, he cooperated with the Kingdom's Black Prison to clean out the spies inside before the orcs broke through Longxi Pass.
In order to clean up the spies on the plains or to monitor the unstable nobles, it was necessary to contact some nobles, and Amin was one of the people who took the initiative to contact them.
"You don't regret it?"
A Ming shook his head firmly.
"If I had to do it again, I would still do it. I can't tolerate anyone betraying the human race, not even my father."
"Tsk tsk"
He is a pure person. Even if he is not his direct descendant, he is reassuring to use.
"There is something I need you to do. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"
"As long as it does not harm the interests of the human race, Sir Richard can give you whatever you want."
"Don't worry, according to the intelligence from the Black Prison, there are at least three noble families nearby that are interacting with the remnants of the Rising Sun Cult. You need to lead someone to investigate."
"Just checking?"
A Ming asked doubtfully.
"Of course not. If you encounter resistance or solid evidence, you can act cheaply."
"I understand, sir."
If it were in the Northland, Richard could find a hundred people who could do this kind of work, but after all, the Central Plains was not Richard's home ground. He needed to find a knife that was familiar with the situation, and Amin's performance
He is the most suitable person to fill this role.
"Go ahead. In addition to your men, the garrison of Clais City is also at your disposal to clean up these borers for the kingdom as soon as possible."
"Also, Natalie."
"Lord Richard!"
Natalie heard the sound and walked in.
"Please cooperate with A Ming's actions and eliminate the spies around you as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir!"
The middle and high-level military forces of the church are not weak. At least it is difficult to fight against nobles like Amin. This time, Amin was able to surround and kill several church knights. Except for his own success in breaking through the great knights, he was not strong enough.
Although he was weak on the outside, it was also because he concentrated his strength and caught the church off guard. He directly surrounded and killed several church knights with superior force.
It is impossible to deploy so many troops every time for the next operation, but with Natalie's cooperation, it will be a dimensionality reduction strike, and a group of capitulationists who colluded with the church should be able to be quickly eliminated.
"Um?"
At this time, A Ming received Richard's authorization but still did not take any action. He sat in his seat and hesitated to speak, which made Richard a little confused.
After Richard sent out the inquiry, A Ming asked:
"Lord Richard, you are the strongest man in the kingdom. Why did you leave Longxi Pass when the war was most urgent?"
Well, when A Ming asked this question, he was basically questioning that Richard had become a deserter. No wonder Count Newman never liked his art of speaking. It was too direct.
Natalis noticed that there was some offense in Amin's words. She flicked her fingers and unsheathed the Lengyue knife at her waist. Amin only felt a strong pressure of death. If Natalis took action, Amin would even It was difficult to even turn around.
But A Ming still stared at Richard, wanting to get an answer from Richard.
Fortunately, Richard didn't care about the slight offense in A Ming's words. He waved his hand to Natalis to signal her to calm down. Natalis sheathed her scimitar, and the pressure on A Ming suddenly disappeared. His whole back was covered in cold sweat.
"I can only tell you that the effect of me leaving Dragon's Breath Pass is greater than staying at Dragon's Breath Pass. This is a decision jointly made by Mr. Ross and I."
At this time, the importance of Ross's endorsement of Richard's departure was reflected. At least when someone questioned, Richard could only provide evidence.
Sure enough, A Ming felt a little relieved after Richard finished speaking.
"I understand, sir!"
Afterwards, A Ming bowed to Richard and then exited. Natalie followed Richard's order and followed A Ming away.
A Ming didn't waste any time at all. After leaving Richard, he went outside the castle to gather his troops, and started to act according to the instructions given by Yu Sidu...
As for Richard, he lay back comfortably on the soft armchair and continued to relieve the fatigue from this period of time...
