Duchy of Scana. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Set in the northwestern part of mainland Sri Lanka, a bright and deep black pearl.

The Honorary Emperor praised it as: "the oldest and most beautiful country on the continent." ”

The nobles of the title all said: "The Earl of Skana (a small country with the title of Earl in the early days of the Duchy of Skana) was a man of foresight, kindness, and wisdom. ”

"The Principality of Scanna is stable and secure, a reef island in the middle of turbulence," the tycoons said. ”

But in the palace of the Grand Duke of Lunanty, there is a remark that is diametrically opposed to the mainstream title of the mainland-

"Timid and cowardly, ordinary but extravagant, trying to hide himself in his pocket and never see the light of day, but he is complacent in the flattery of others. - Archduke Lunanty commented.

After the news spread, in response, the current prince of Skarna countered: "Radical and proud, young but not knowing how to measure, vainly trying to be famous, but selling fame." ”

("Selling fame" refers to Lunanty's eventual resignation from the throne.) ）

It's a pity that the behavior of this middle-aged Mediterranean man with a big belly after fighting back is not as hard as he said.

After the feast, everyone made excuses to go to the toilet, turned around and hurried out of the threshold, and rode away in his luxurious carriage with red nan wood as the main material, supplemented by gold and silver emblems.

Ridiculous, and embarrassing.

But this also shows that behind Lunanty's prominent status, there is still a dark shadow that cannot be seen, and there are so many people who are jealous and jealous of his achievements.

……

……

Northwest corner of the Duchy of Scana.

Horseshoe Town.

At night, the town of Horseshoe is quiet.

A group of public horse thieves, led by Tiger Taylor, were now nestled in their warm bed, with the beautiful woman who had plundered the day before in their arms, and they were falling asleep soundly and snoring soundly, because the wine that had been greatly enjoyed at the evening feast was so intoxicating......

On the empty and silent streets, a cold wind blew, and the trees of late autumn rustled a scene of golden leaves, and inexplicably, a solemn atmosphere gradually added to the air.

And tonight the clouds obscured the moon and added another layer of secrecy......

In the darkness, a group of men in black robes bent over and quickly crossed the street.

They dispersed in an orderly manner at the intersections, and then stopped in front of the houses where the oil lamps had been extinguished.

The smell of intrigue comes head-on.

The moon showed its true face for a moment, shedding a little light, and on the moon, the goddess Altinis was driving the carriage and watching coldly.

The black-robed people below all wore a helmet-like thing on their heads, but their eyes were filled with two pieces of dark red glass, and they all wore a band on their wrists that glowed green and flashed with numbers.

night vision goggles, with watches.

Of course the goddess Artinis knew what it was, because it came from the hand of a man she hated to the bone.

The clouds returned, and Artinis was furious, but she had to turn away. She still has things to do.

He didn't care about his business that much.

"Drop!"

Putting his eyes down, every black-robed person's watch in the dark made a short and crisp sound, and the LCD screen displayed: "20:30".

The second the voice sounded, all the black-robed people pulled out the short daggers on their waists at the same time, and little by little, they reached into the crack of the door and picked the deadbolt......

……

This night in Horseshoe Town is destined to be bloody.

The dark clouds still obscured all the glowing stars in the sky, leaving only one place to block the darkness of dark red blood.

……

"The first squad in the west has been cleaned up. ”

"The second squad in the east has been cleaned up. ”

"Northern ......"

"Fifth Squad Report - Earl Headquarters, Tiger Taylor was seriously injured, but let him slip away. ”

……

"Leave him alone, a rat scurrying around, the most important thing now is to clear the obstacles!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

At five or six o'clock in the morning, a caravan with a full ten heavily armed men passed through Horseshoe Town.

The thick horse wheel rolled on the paved loess avenue, the avenue was not very flat, but the carriage carrying the goods did not have the slightest bump, it was very stable, and if you looked closely, between the horse wheel and the body, there were several layers of cotton wool containing springs.

The newly awakened keeper yawned and walked out of the hut at the entrance of the town, rubbing the corners of his eyes as he cursed and removed half of the horse-repellent stakes that blocked the entrance of the town—a good thing that flowed from the kingdom of Kasia. Then he stood in the middle of the road, pointed at the horsewhip and stopped the leader of the caravan, and shouted with his head held high without hesitation: "The noise in the morning, is it in a hurry to meet the god Hades?"

As soon as these words came out, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the person in charge of the other carriage sitting behind.

The town guard was still venting his anger when someone knocked on the wooden wall of the carriage at the back of the caravan: "Mr. Darko." ”

After a while, a fair-skinned and immature hand poked open the curtain of the wind and sand, revealing a handsome face, the cold light on which was long gone, but a warm smile.

"Maha. "Mr. Darko" smiled and summoned the leader of the bargain with the town guard.

"Maha" hurriedly turned around and trotted to the front of the carriage, it was a wrinkled face, over forty years old, tall, with a slightly curved back, and an authentic business leader who ran south and north: "Sir." ”

"Maha, it's not easy for everyone, give more, it's important to arrive at the destination early. "Mr. Darko," commanded at first glance like a generous young gentleman.

The guard who had just been seduced by the beauty of "Mr. Darko" lost his mind for a moment, and when he heard "give more", the anger in his eyes disappeared in an instant, turning into a glittering golden light.

The price he raised just now was quite a lot.

Sure enough, is it a delicate aristocratic young master who has not been deeply involved in the world? !

"All right, sir. Maha bent down with a bitter face.

"Wait a minute, send 12 to solve him—such a trivial matter, it will not be handled cleanly!" and from an angle that the town guard could not see, "Mr. Darko" turned as if he was about to return to the position in the carriage, and coldly commanded the attendants around him, and entered the curtain.

Maha turned around and ran to the town guard, then took off the heavy silk money bag around his waist, and took out a silver bead the size of a fingernail from it with a painful face, and before he could hand it over, the town guard cut it off with a smile on his face, put it in his mouth and bit it, smiled even brighter, removed the horse rejection stake, and let the convoy in.

He kindly reminded, "Be quiet when you go in, don't wake up the townspeople." ”

The townspeople, to put it bluntly, are those public horse thieves.

On weekdays, where would the town guard be so kind? The main reason is that the silver marbles given by Maha are too substantial, enough to be worth his half-month robbery - if the leader knows about it, he can't say that he can't hand it over.

I don't have to be foolish.

As the team entered the town, the warden held the silver marble and smiled brightly, and when Mr. Darko's carriage passed, the townkeeper's eyes could not stop glancing at it.

There was covetousness and pity in his eyes: this is so beautiful, if it weren't for this marble, he would have to inform the leader - when the leader gets tired of playing, maybe he can still taste a mouthful of soup?!

This is not the first time this has happened.

But in the end, I looked away.

The waiter took all this in his eyes, and his heart was cold, and he wanted to take out the short dagger on his waist and cut him at this moment, but he forcibly withdrew his cold eyes.

The caravan sailed through the dead silence of Horseshoe Town, and the town guard smiled and looked at the silver marbles in his hand as he returned to his cabin.

It was still early to get up and work, and now he had to sleep again with the silver marble in his mouth.

But no one found the undried blood stains in the houses along the street, and the corpses that were dead, with surprised expressions and disbelief on their faces......

……

"Earl Corps, do you want to inform us when we get down to Kamla Canyon......"

"Nope. The handsome man with a warm smile who was just called "Mr. Darko" had a cold face and a thin look in his eyes at this time, he glanced at the subordinates at hand and said, "The Grand Duke has not received it yet, and we can't leak the news." ”

"Be careful with everything!"

"Yes!"

……

Kamla Canyon is a gourd-shaped canyon with a wide inner and narrow mouth, which can only accommodate one horse-drawn carriage almost at a time.

But thanks to this special topography, in the northwestern part of the sandy mainland of Sri Lanka, it can guarantee the vegetation inside all year round.

The abundant terrain nourishes this green crystal, and the towering mountains ensure a suitable temperature difference between day and night.

However, it is such a beautiful place, but no one lives here.

Because, there are winged liger beasts living here.

Although this is a world where heroic deeds are the mainstream of bards, the winged liger is not easy to mess with, let alone a whole race?

……

Half a month later, Kamla Canyon welcomed its first large number of guests in recent years.

They faintly formed a phalanx, with a hundred spearmen holding spears on the periphery, shield soldiers on the inside, and crossbowmen on the inside—all of them were the thousand-machine crossbows of the military limit of the Kingdom of Kasia, and then a heavily covered carriage.

"Scarlett Patriarch—Earl asks to meet—"

Directly opposite the mouth of the canyon, Earl, who looked weak and polite, spoke slowly, his face relaxed, but the sound resounded throughout the canyon, and the sound was silent for a long time.

It's a special pronunciation technique and, of course, a little bit of magic.

"Roar—"

"Roar-" "Roar-" "Roar-"

After a long time, there was a roar mixed with the characteristics of lions and tigers in the canyon, and then the sound of the wind with huge wings vibrating, ten, dozens, and then hundreds of winged liger beasts shaking their wings and taking off.

After a while, one after another liger beasts fell on the outer wall of the canyon, which seemed to be a small number, but in fact, the combat power was enough to fight an army of 100,000 people and not fall into disadvantage.

They have the body and claws of a tiger, the mane and teeth of a lion, and a pair of golden wings.

Especially the one at the top, it didn't fall like the other liger beasts and roared, but stood there quietly, no one dared or anyone could, ignoring his presence.

His body was more than twice as large as the other ligers, and his muscle lines were several points higher than those of the other ligers, and his whole body had become golden instead of the other ligers, only the wings were golden.

Earl looked up at him with a faint expression, as if he was just an ordinary liger in his eyes.

He slowly lowered his forelimbs, lowered his head, and lay on the corner of the boulder that protruded from the sky, looked down at Earl and the others, and then said indifferently—

Earl Nievano...... Are you here for the sake of your husband?"
