"I don't think you need to be reminded that a dragon skeleton without a dragon crystal can't become an undead at all. Pinto's tone became grim, like a cold-blooded viper covered in slime, "Knight Richard, it's not just a matter of one person for slaying down the undead dragon, and the spoils of war shouldn't be taken by one person alone, I hope you understand that." ”

He emphasized the word "knight", and his intention to overpower people was extremely obvious. Considering his status, this threat has to be said to carry enough weight.

But if Richard could eat this set, it would really make the sun come out of the west, and he put his arms around his arms, and his head seemed to be thinking little by little: "Let me think about ......."

Staring at Pinto's hopeful gaze, he slapped him as if surprised: "I remember, I didn't have much experience in slaying dragons for the first time, and I accidentally slapped it and smashed it!"

"Liar, thief, thief!"

It is said that General Pinto, who was usually cold and gentle, actually made a rare fuss and smashed many fine and expensive porcelain. But this is just a rumor, and outsiders have no way of knowing what the truth is.

"Lord Richard, aren't you really worried that he's going to do you bad?" Seedorf was walking around the camp with Richard. Richard wore only a thin swordsman's suit, and Seedorf was wrapped in a thick bearskin coat, but it was the latter who shivered from the cold, and it was good to look at the former and sigh with emotion.

Since the Night of the Dead, the Pompeii Expeditionary Force has moved its camp outside the city. A large area of winter fields is extremely cold and quiet.

"As far as I know, there are currently two political forces in Pompeii, on the one hand, the conservatives who are staunch supporters of the Church of the Ice Goddess, and on the other hand, the reformers who support the introduction of the Church of Light. General Pinto was one of the most prestigious leaders of the conservative faction, and his position was so high that even His Majesty Sagre had to pay homage to him. ”

Seedorf didn't even ask if the dragon crystal existed, it was tacit for both parties.

"Just call me Richard. The lord waved his hand, he was more angry with the old fox, "In my opinion, General Pinto himself is a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days. ”

"You still want to clean me up. Richard scoffed, "He'd better think about how to deal with the people who are going to clean him up." ”

The lord of Alpine Fort is not stunned, who can offend and who can't, it is clear to distinguish. The reason why he pretended to be stupid and didn't give Pinto any face at all was, of course, for good reason.

"Oh, why do you say that?" said Seedorf, sniffling.

There was no expression on his face, more like a simple exchange than an inquiry.

"Pinto is a conservative, and His Majesty Sagre is a reformer. Although I don't know why a conservative was appointed as the commander-in-chief, since the war is like this, can Your Majesty take the opportunity to clean him up?"

"Actually, I thought so too. Seedorf nodded several times.

The two had reached the edge of the camp, and the guards silently crossed their halberds, so they turned around.

Although Seedorf was not a prisoner of war, it was a dream to leave the Pompeii barracks, which was equivalent to being placed under house arrest in the camp.

This turn coincides with Higuain. He sat with his back to them on a large rock in the distance, quietly and motionless. Just looking at the back, you can feel that the owner is in a state of confusion and melancholy.

"It's him again......" Richard sighed.

He's not met Higuain once or twice lately, and no matter what the lord is doing, this pretty boy will always have a deep melancholy on his face, sitting alone with a face full of words written that no one should approach.

At first, he thought that this product might be adolescent unrequited love, but after a long time, he felt that it should be just a simple underbeating.

"It seems that little Higuain has encountered a little trouble on the road of life. Seedorf stopped, looked at the back, and said.

"He has nothing to worry about. The lord shrugged his shoulders, "If you look so good, and you can easily become a dragon knight, will this kind of person also have troubles?"

"Richard, don't judge other people's lives so easily. Seedorf sighed, "Do you know Higuain's origins?"

This question is actually a bit funny - the old fox, as a Stuart, is actually examining a Pompeii's information about Pompeii.

However, it is not surprising that Seedorf is concerned, and the lord even suspects that as long as the Pompeii soldiers who are a little famous, the resume of the upper three generations is in the head of this guy.

"Looks like the youngest son of a knight's family?" Richard vaguely remembered that Bédrick had told him.

"That's not literal. Seedorf shook his head, "Generally speaking, if a dragon knight comes from a rather humble background, he will be replaced by a knight's family. And if he really came from a knightly family, we would say that he came from a noble family. ”

"Oh. Richard understood as soon as he heard it, "In order to avoid embarrassment on the dragon knight as much as possible." ”

"Yes. Seedorf nodded, "There is also the Magister, if he comes from a humble background, he is said to come from a family of magical apprentices. And if his father is indeed an apprentice magician, we would describe it as a traditional mage family. Another example, Richard, you. As a dragon slayer, you can also receive this kind of preferential treatment, and from now on, everyone will say that you are the unfavored youngest son of a noble family, and will not directly say that you are an illegitimate child. ”

"How do you even know I'm an illegitimate child?" the lord couldn't help but gasp.

You must know that Seedorf is a famous general, and he is just a little lord of Pompeii. Thinking about it from another perspective, if Richard had tens of thousands of troops under his hands to defend Xiongcheng, he would never care about which woman his father gave birth to a poor ghost pioneer lord in the enemy country.

"How fresh. Seedorf scoffed, "This war, at least on the surface, was fought because of you and Hendra, so it's strange to know a little bit about your life." ”

"But Hendra seems to have changed his name to Dracula now?" Seedorf winked at Richard, "if you really want to hide it from someone who cares, at least make it easier to understand." ”

"Okay, I see, you go on. Richard took a deep breath. In front of this kind of old fox, he always feels that as long as he relaxes a little, all secrets will be hidden, "So what is Higuain's background?"

His father and mother were wilderness fugitives. Seedorf said slowly.

Those who live in Pompeii and pay their taxes on time are the most reasonable and legal commoners. But there will always be some people who will give up their original identity because they can't afford to pay taxes or for other reasons, and go into the ungoverned wilderness to fend for themselves.

Richard had no intention of judging whether such an act was morally right or wrong, but at least one thing was certain—the wilderness fugitives were of a rather humble status and a very difficult life, probably a little better than a slave.
