Chapter 466: Born Noble
Chapter 466: The Anger of the King
After listening to Sandro's words, Leitch was silent, trying to digest the information he had just gotten - first of all, the Karachi, who consider themselves the 'chosen ones', are facing a huge crisis - to a certain extent, their entire race is degrading, and even one day, all Karachis will not be able to awaken and completely become a mortal race! One of the main reasons for this situation is that it is very likely that the Karachi awakened and ordinary people or foreigners intermarry, so there will be a marriage law!
Of course, even if the Karachi people are really degrading, it will definitely be a long process, at least ten thousand years have passed since the Lord of Dusk, and the Karachi Empire is still the most powerful country in the Dawn Valley! And the Ashes Council of the Karachi Empire had realized this two thousand years ago, and Leitch did not believe that they would do anything other than to enact a marriage law!
In general, Leitch wants to make a fuss on this point, and it is estimated that it will not have much effect. As for why Sandro mentioned this to Leitch, it was undoubtedly to win his trust, after all, it was already a matter of life and death for the people of Karachi, and to some extent, Sandro was not an exaggeration to say that he was betraying race and country!
"Although I think it's a very wise choice to defect to me, in comparison, I have to admit that Xinghai Academy is almost irresistibly attractive for any mage!And the political environment of the Karachi Empire is definitely the easiest for all black mages!, so I'm curious, why did you come all the way from the Karachi Empire to join me?" Leitch looked straight at Sandro and smiled.
"Actually, long before I saw Lord Viscount's recruitment poster, I had been hiding from the Ash Council. There was a slight silence for a moment before Sandro spoke.
"The Ashes Council is hunting you down?" Reitch wondered, "Is it because you discovered the secret behind the marriage laws of the Karachi Empire?" or is it because your magical research is not allowed by the Ashes Council?"
"The secrets I have discovered have not been mentioned to anyone except the Viscount, and as for my magical research, it is indeed taboo to the other countries of the Valley of Dawn, but the environment of the Empire is still relatively relaxed. What really made the Ashes Council find me was actually my eyes. As he spoke, Sandro pointed his pale, fleshless finger at the two beating soul fires in his eyes, his voice revealing obvious helplessness.
"Because your pupils have lost their golden color, eh, no, you don't even have pupils now?" said Reich with a hint of eccentricity.
"But that's exactly what it is. Sandro touched his bare skull with a seemingly headache, and his voice suddenly became a little more indignant and cold, "Presumably Lord Viscount has also heard of the Ash Terminators, those minions and lackeys who work exclusively for the Ash Council! They are a bunch of complete racial fanatics, and once they are targeted, they will definitely bite to the death!"
"So I don't dare to hide it from Lord Viscount, I'm in a pretty bad situation right now, I've been running away from the Ashes Council until then, and there aren't really many places in the entire Dawn Valley that can really accommodate me. Earlier, I had heard that the Viscount was angry at the mercy and bravery of the Sage, so after seeing the recruitment poster sent by the Viscount, I made up my mind to defect to the Viscount!" said Sandro in a sonorous tone.
Obviously, Sandro's last sentence obviously has an element of sycophancy......
"A sage in anger?" Thinking of the great sage's head that was now hanging on the gate of the Two Realms, Lei Qi couldn't help but smile.
The 'sage' mentioned in the two of them refers to the Water Mirror Tiness, one of the two presidents of the Karachi Empire's Twin Mirror Chamber of Commerce, who killed thousands of soldiers under Leitch's command at the end of the Black Tide. At that time, in front of several kingdoms and thousands of Saint-level powerhouses in the Dawn Valley, Lei Qi burned the blood flower scroll and bluntly said that he wanted to lift the head of Ness, which can be described as domineering!
In fact, Leitch really did it, on the tenth day after Leqi issued the bloodflower hunt order, the person in charge of a first-class chamber of commerce from the Karachi Empire carried the head of Tinas and found Leqi! On that day, in front of tens of thousands of civilians in the Holy City of Tianqin, Leitch ordered the blacksmith to burn the molten iron, poured the head of Tiness into a metal head, and hung it above the Gate of the Two Realms, in order to comfort those innocent soldiers who died tragically, and it was also a warning to anyone who dared to fight the idea of the Black Wind Territory!
And because of this incident, Leitch's prestige and reputation have risen to a new level! And most of the nearly 10,000 awakened people who came to participate in the Thousand Cavalry Commander election this time are actually because of Leitch's respect and care for the soldiers under his command!
Seeing that Sandro's soul fire flickered slightly, looking at him expectantly, Lei Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, since I have decided to recruit you, I will definitely not regret it;
"Thank you, Lord Viscount!" Hearing this, the soul fire in Sandro's eyes beat violently, showing that he was extremely uneasy.
"And rest assured, the people of the Ash Council are very proud, they never send a chaser higher than the wanted person, so all this time, I have only been hunted by the Ash Inquisitor, which is the main reason why I have been able to escape from them repeatedly!" Sandro added.
"Ash Inquisitor, I hope they'd better not find here, because with their strength, they are not qualified to go wild here!" Hearing this, Leitch smiled faintly, but it made Sandro feel unparalleled confidence and domineering!
"One last thing, I need to make it clear to you - as my court mage, I hope you don't study your magic in the Holy City of Lyra, and the realm will not provide you with experimental materials such as corpses. ”
Hearing this, Sandro felt a pang in his heart - what Leitch meant in this sentence was that he could still freely study his own undead magic in the future, but only 'secretly'; the territory would not provide itself with experimental materials in those forbidden categories, but would turn a blind eye to how he obtained these materials; but at the same time, once his own magic research caused any dissatisfaction among the people of the territory in the future, the 'unaware' Viscount's Mansion would ruthlessly attack itself!
Although Leitch's approach seemed to Sandro to be a bit hypocritical, after being hunted down by the Ash Council repeatedly, he also understood a lot of things, and he also understood the attitude of the vast majority of people in the entire Dawn Valley towards undead magic, so he could also understand why Leitch did this, and in fact, Sandro already felt quite good to be able to enjoy such treatment!
"Fourth, Rolf!"
Although he already knew the order of the assessment, every time he thought that he could be in the fourth position among the twenty finalists, Rolf couldn't help but feel a little proud, and Rolf didn't mind showing his pride through his demeanor and body movements - specifically, at this time, Rolf walked swaggeringly, coupled with the white bone javelin open behind him, how did he look like a drunken little hen, cough, it should be a little rooster......
Seeing this, the other finalists couldn't help but look at the triumphant Rolf with a slight sneer, and the storm warrior Ressarit pursed his lips even more disdainfully, but it was the veteran adventurer Bestur, who had had a conflict with Rolf before, with a sincere smile on his face: "I wish the Baron a victory!"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to shake his hand, looking like he was saying goodbye to his friend.
But when Rolf heard this, he stumbled, and at the same time he was secretly angry in his heart, "Win the battle, your uncle!" Can this word be used on me? Lao Tzu went to accept the assessment of the Viscount of the Black Wind, not to participate in the ancient knight competition!
The word victory comes from the second dynasty, when the knight competition did not have a huge arena, only a single wooden fence, the two sides involved in the competition began to live in two sections of the wooden fence, respectively, holding a heraldic riding spear, under the order of the ceremonial officer, the two convenient instigated the war horse galloping, riding the spear high, the flag fluttering, and then generally in the next moment there will be a person is stabbed off the horse!
This is almost the fastest way to end a knight's competition, and almost as soon as the heraldic lance is raised, the next moment the winner will be decided! So the word is a bit inappropriate for Rolf, and it's no wonder he's secretly annoyed.
Entering the attic, looking at Leitch who was only wearing a simple white robe, Rolf only felt shocked, and at the same time felt a little ashamed and jealous in his heart, but more heartfelt shock - there was no luxurious aristocratic robe, no dazzling accessories, just a linen white dress, but it made Rolf feel like a pearl standing on the top of the laurel crown!
This reminds Rolf of a Gukara word he had seen and once dismissed - nobleborn noble!
"I used to not believe that there is a so-called natural noble, I just think that this world should be ruled by the strong and the weak, but now seeing the Viscount makes me understand that in this world, there are really natural nobles, destined rulers!" Rolf sighed slightly, with a hint of bitterness on the corner of his mouth.
"Rolf, attend Lord Viscount!" Rolf then knelt down on one knee and gave Leitch an incomparably standardized Dawson aristocratic etiquette.
After a moment of silence, Rolf did not get the 'Corporal Lixian' from Leitch that he expected, which made him raise his head slightly and look at Leitch suspiciously, and then at this time he heard Leitch smile with a strange smile: "Although I have always thought I am very attractive, but you are the first person to be impressed by my domineering spirit and bow down as soon as you see it! This really makes me feel very accomplished." ”
“……”
For a while, Rolf really didn't know how to take Leitch's words, he hadn't seen a human nobleman, but it was the first time he had really seen a nobleman like Viscount Black Wind! So, at this time, Rolf's mouth unconsciously opened slightly, like a certain kind of person......
