Slow 46.12-C: A Troubled Past

·

You don't have to say your tendencies. Who knows if there is a magic surveillance, the anti-surveillance necklace around the neck only greatly increases the difficulty of surveillance, and it is still useless in the face of real masters, like the level 17 prophecy department specialized surveillance mage is an example. So let's keep the real thoughts in mind for the time being.

The Scarlet Punisher must die. It would not be bad if the kingdom could be reshuffled by the way.

"Actually, I can roughly guess what Saudi Arabia was trying to negotiate. Hathaway confirmed that there was no one else around, "The temple system of the Sand Country is divided into two factions: Sand and Rain. The main battle faction is the Sha faction priests, who advocate ruthless brutality is strength, and the rain priests are responsible for praying for rain, and are deeply loved by the people, and they are also the main peace faction. ”

"The Sha faction is fighting a war, and the Earl of the West has rebelled, and more is needed. They had intended to promise you the title of Marquis, as long as you were treasonous. The Rain faction, on the other hand, wanted to avoid this war, and had planned to promise you the new duke. ”

After a pause,

Hathaway looks into your eyes: "As a representative of the goodwill between the two countries, marry me, and then take the knight." Now, of course, this was only their "original" plan. ”

"No, I think the Elder is very wise to bring the three parties together to negotiate. Originally, we had no bargaining chips with the three parties, but now we are empty of white wolves. Melanie said, put her arms around you and Hathaway's waists, and flew down the tower.

The labyrinthine town is still lit up late at night.

Originally, when night came, all the people lit lamps and held torches, but recently more and more people can afford to use sustainable lamps; the roads used to accumulate inexplicable puddles every morning, but now many paths have been smoothed; there was silence after 90 o'clock at night, except for the occasional cry of children, but recently the laughter and laughter can continue until 1 a.m.

It's not easy to build a territory,

Who the wants to set foot here.

It was a registered adventurer, and when he opened the door to let him go—— suddenly there were guards in the direction of the city gate who were so noisy. It seems to be a team of adventurers returning from outside late at night. In the quiet of the night, the sound of the city gates opening was obvious.

"Huh, President, you haven't slept so late?"

The "Witch Sigh" suddenly turned back to the labyrinth town in the middle of the night, what was it that made them not wait for dawn?

"You're here. Matthew saluted respectfully, pointed to a group of people in the distance, and said, "The dozen or so men over there are my former companions, can you allow them to become your subjects as well?" ”

Melanie looked at the dozen or so people hiding in the dark grass in the distance, saying that it was a bandit or a lift, it was estimated that he was just a gangster, and his strength was not too strong.

Hathaway noticed that Ash and Sean looked a little flustered, so she asked Matthew, "What's wrong?"

"A little thing. ”

Matthew scratched his fingers and continued as if giving up: "Haven't we been helping Viscount Jim Downsm to establish a pioneer village recently? There are many trivial tasks and thorny troubles, and we know that it is not easy to build a village from scratch, and it is quite hard. The four of us competed with each other to finally come up with the prototype of a village, I really don't know how you came from a tent to this labyrinth town, admire the five-body throw. ”

"Tonight is a celebration feast. The series of missions is over, the game is over, and it's time to announce the winner team and award the prizes. Four teams: two teams of mercenaries, the "improvised map" and we are all celebrating, and no matter which team wins, the pioneer village has indeed been built, which is worth celebrating. ”

Hathaway held her forehead: "That Viscount is going to pay the bill?"

"No, no. Instead, he announced two winners, both us and Improv Map, with additional rewards on top of the pay. In the end, Lord Viscount has multiple funders behind him, and he is very generous. We have all made a lot of money in this series of missions, and the risk is low. ”

Win?

Since he won, why don't he see Matthew's special reward? The Viscount had already made an appointment that the beautiful woman named Lena would belong to Matthew. Obviously something happened.

You ordered Matthew's former little brothers to be let in, and then flew to Pioneer Village with Melanie and Hathaway, a short distance away. The "Witch Sigh" rushed there as well.

The village was filled with immigrants with torches, swaying and reminiscent of riots.

Pushing open the door of the large chapel cabin, which was guarded by a few guards, it was crowded with people, and it seemed that the standing banquet was only half carried out. The two teams of mercenaries retreated into the crowd, with Raphael Sheen on his knees, his warlock girlfriend standing in a daze, with a magical tiara on her head...... Déjà vu. Viscount Jim Downs, who planned the establishment of the entire pioneer village, held the beautiful woman named Lena hostage with a knife in his hand.

What's the situation?

The other two members of the Impromptu Map, the Dwarven Captain and the Halfling, saluted immediately when they saw you, but their expressions were complicated and they couldn't say anything.

"You, yes, it's you! just in time! Damn!" Viscount Jim Downsm yelled at you, holding him hostage, "and now you're satisfied, what a good way to play, I'm like a monkey!"

......?

This is only the second time you've seen this fat-brained viscount. Last time, he was personable, calmly proposing a gamble to you, and willing to pay the normal or even slightly generous rewards for the "Witch's Sigh" and "Impromptu Map" missions in order to open up the village. This time, he looked depressed and crazy, as if he had lost everything in one go, and it was clear that tonight was a celebration banquet for the completion of the pioneer village.

What does it have to do with you?

"Matthew, where is Matthew, let him get over at once, or I'll kill this woman!"

Lena cried and shivered with heavy makeup.

Matthew is still on the way, and you're flying over.

Melanie writes in the palm of your hand, signaling that she can save Lena at any time with her speed and subdue the viscount who is only four or five levels.

The problem is, you don't know Lena at all.

Compared to Lena's life and death,

Hathaway definitely cares more about adventurers, and asks out loud what happened to the "improvised map" and what happened to Raphael Sheen and his warlock girlfriend.

“...... No, we're not "improvising maps" anymore. The captain of the dwarves looked down at Raphael Sheen who was kneeling on the ground, "We are disbanded, right now." ”

The halfling also looked coldly at the bard, who confessed like a sinner: "I can't be in the company of a guy who longs for 'total control over his companions'. He's a paranoid madman. ”

It all started when the bard, Raphael Sheen, used his negotiation skills to force himself into the village's gamble, without consulting the other three companions. At first, the companions thought it was a good task after all, so they didn't care, but in fact, Raphael Sheen's real purpose was to get the magic tiara.

Controls the crown of the head of the sperm.

sperm organisms,

For example, ghost woman, such as tree spirit, such as Pik essence...... For example, his elvenous warlock girlfriend.

Some people long for their stone golem girlfriend to become a human, while others long for their human girlfriend to become a golem, at their own mercy. It's hard to explain what you want.

Without looking back, Rafael Sheen kept his head down and knelt down, and suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Shut up! You two don't know anything! I love her so much, I love her so much, that's why I did this! You two don't understand at all!"

"She's so similar to me! I have a mage father who is too powerful and too genius, and he is disheartened by a waste like me who can only play one or two arcane arts, and grieves for his son who has no hope of reviving the family. She also has a strong mage mother, and she despairs of her warlock daughter who doesn't know how to learn. Dogs licking each other's wounds, do you two understand? I can't lose her, I can't!"

The dwarven captain sneered, "So, put a crown on her?"

We know each other too well to love each other, but we also know how to hurt each other. Maybe it's her essence blood that is doing the trick, her mood is always unstable, moody, hurting me again and again, I hurt her again and again, I'm fed up, really fed up, no one can understand my inner torment......" Raphael Sheen turned back suddenly, took his girlfriend's hand, and questioned the dwarf captain and the halfling, "I'm afraid of losing her! I'm afraid she's sad! What's wrong!"

"Really......," sighed the halfling, "then, to whom are you kneeling down to confess, and why are you crying?"

Rafael Sheen stopped talking, had nothing to say.

Although the goal was finally achieved - after Viscount Jim Downsm announced that the best team was "The Witch's Sigh", Raphael Sheen once again used his incorruptible tongue to convince the Viscount to declare a double champion.

Four people, four eyes...... Some are disgusted and disappointed, some pity and spit, some collapse and wander, and some are only empty.

Love is the second biggest reason why the adventurer's team is falling apart, and a century-old drama is being staged in front of you.

In terms of status, you have the most important say, in terms of force, no one can stop you from doing anything, the key is that your decision-making power is extremely strong, and you are already well-known in the central and southern regions. There is silence in the big wooden house, and men, women, and children are staring at you.

How are you going to deal with it?

A, no treatment. This is an internal problem of the team.

B, concluded that it was Rafael Sheen's fault and asked him to take off his girlfriend's tiara.

C, it is the fault of the dwarf captain, and any dispute in the team is the responsibility of the captain, no. He should be held accountable.

D, admit that you yourself are partly responsible, after all, you killed Raphael Sheen's father, even though he was evil and insane. You will be responsible for mediating the conflicts of the squad and mediating the disputes between couples.

You've just made your decision, and the Witch's Sigh has rushed back, after all, it's not far from the labyrinth town. As soon as Matthew appeared, Lord Viscount immediately went berserk!

"Matthew, you have to take it today, and you have to accept it if you don't, or I'll kill this bitch! Your little lover, your childhood sweetheart, your first girlfriend!"

Matthew shook his head and sighed: "I just said it very clearly, I took the former brothers away, I didn't expect you to still maintain the same posture." If the esteemed Viscount hadn't heard, I could say it again. ”

"I owe my former brethren, nor to her, nor to any of them. That's my answer—the past is no longer about me, ever since I redeemed my freedom. Understood?"

Lena suddenly cried: "No! Please, Matthew! You can't be so ruthless in everything that has to do with us! It's me who has been taking care of your terminally ill mother at least two days a week for so many years, it's us who have shared the cost of supporting your mother, and we've buried your mother, have you swept the grave once over the years? You can break it off, why are you so ruthless! Do you know how we've survived all these years? How humble is life?"

"When I know that you have never had a girlfriend over the years, I know that you still have me in your heart!

"Oh, you're thinking too much, Miss Lena. Matthew couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that you are really going to die, you use the heart connection to call Angel to fly over as soon as possible, she can resurrect someone.

Viscount Jim pointed his knife at Matthew: "You must take her......!

Matthew laughed, "Oh, why, because she's your slave, the prize you prepared for the championship, you eat the leftovers, so I have to be grateful to Dade for accepting?" he put his finger to his forehead, thinking it was so funny, "What else would you?"

silent

hesitation,

Viscount Jim's knife began to tremble, and his angry eyes moved to you again.

“...... You can't fool me, I've seen countless villains in high society. I know what you're up to, hehe. ”

"Blame me for being so greedy and falling into your trap from the very beginning. ”

"Now that I think about it, it's actually quite strange. How could it be so coincidental that when I was destitute and had a false title, it happened that the ancient city market was willing to generously lend me money to make a comeback; when I ran into a wall everywhere and had nowhere to invest, it happened that Viscount Eliabes brought five or six wealthy barons to talk about investing in the development of the village; when I didn't know how to deal with all the troubles in the development process, it happened that the ancient city introduced two teams of excellent mercenaries, including the ancient city market, the five-lane bay council hall, the viscount of Eliabes, and the old mage, all of whom pretended to praise Matthew casually. How can it be so coincidental?"

"It's me! It's me who used my title as a guarantee to organize and operate the whole process of opening up the village! It's me who lured a large number of displaced refugees from the northwest to come in under infamy! It's all me who toiled and came forward! What am I trying to do? I just want to have a territory of my own! Is this too much! I'm a viscount!"

He pointed at you and yelled, "But you! Conspire with your damn little Kyle, and after using me, you just shook out all the stupid things I used to do in the territory, made me stink, and finally got a lord to vote in the pioneer village! Elect your mother, this village is all won by Lao Tzu's hard work, why is it Matthew who was elected in the end! I didn't roll around in the power world on the first day, it was little Kyle who manipulated the ballots! Damn!"

"That old bastard of Eliabes, as well as the Old City Market, the Five Alleys Bay Council, and the Old Mage are all actors that Kyle Jr. hired in advance! I fucking figured it out tonight!

You look at Hathaway,

Hathaway shook her head to indicate that she didn't know, and then whispered in her ear, "But I can probably guess what the second generation intends to do." Wuxiang Bay has always been his territory, the ancient city market has mediated with Kyle Jr. in your name, surrendered completely, and cooperated in exchange for not taking responsibility for the assassination, and the second generation has always advocated that mages are wealth, and it is not too many mages to raise. He guessed he had waited for the perfect time to do what he wanted to do a long time ago. ”

"Buy the whole kingdom. ”

Only with the people can there be a country. When the vast border trading town of Hawkeye Oasis is in vain, and the whole of the northwest is in turmoil, Kyle Jr. intends to take advantage of the opportunity to master tens of thousands of displaced people. Pioneering Village is just the beginning.

Viscount Jim's last resort in desperation is to use Lena to control Matthew.

But Matthew refused. In fact, it's nothing for him to accept it first, maybe he is really worried that he is not focused enough and will be controlled by the pillow wind of his first love, so he is so resolute now.

Kyle Jr. isn't your subordinate, just the same trench. Just like you don't need to greet him one by one when you do something, what he does doesn't involve your interests, and of course you don't have to inform you in advance.

You can't spend the night with them, what are you going to do?

A, no matter. Teleport little Kyle over and let him figure it out on his own.

B, who cares? Let him kill him, and resurrect Lena tomorrow morning.

C, openly opposed to Matthew becoming the lord of Pioneer Village, anyway, His Majesty's official appointment document is still a long time away.

D, Demolish the village. (Angering a lot of people)

E, enough farce, orders Melanie to subdue Viscount Jim and save Lena. (Melanie's situation will become even more disadvantaged)

At this point, you didn't expect that things weren't going the way you expected, and Matthew's reaction was expected to be very different.
