Not all magicians are cold-blooded and ruthless, and not all people are born with an inexplicable sense of superiority.

When he saw people who spoke the same language and had the same feelings standing in front of him after suffering all the hardships, Hector felt that his heart was full of sympathy.

After vaccinating the heaviest patients, he walked back to his dragon mount.

Full of emotion, Hector stretched out the palm of his hand that once held the long sword, and stroked the dragon's body with mixed feelings, until the dragon's huge head looked at him.

"Old friend, how about we fly again as soon as possible? Carry more supplies, they really need our help here! I'm proud of what I'm doing now than I was in my life. Hector muttered to himself as he stroked the dragon.

He seems to be reminiscing about his own life, and as if he is reflecting on his past mistakes: "I used to be like a parasite, living by cruelly plundering the wealth of these people. Now I am different, and I feel the meaning of my life. ”

"As a knight, glory should always be with me. And glory is not given by others, but by one's own spirit, one's own choice. I think that as a magician, a dragon knight, I should help the weak in difficulty, not bully them. With that, Hector withdrew his palm and looked at his mount.

"Roar!" As if he understood Hectac's words, the dragon raised its head to the sky and let out a long roar, spreading its huge wings.

For those civilians, such huge meat wings were like tents. In the dust raised, the dragon raised its body, its eyes pierced and stared at Hecht, as if waiting for its master to roll over and ride on his back.

The old man, who had just finished helping to distribute the food, walked behind Hector with trepidation, wary of the dragon, as if he was afraid that the monster would swallow itself with one mouth.

Finally, he mustered up his courage and asked Hecht, "Master Magician...... Yes, is there anything I can do to help? You see, you brought us food, and we are grateful...... We really don't have any money or anything to give to you......"

"I don't need your dedication, I'm just commanded to carry out the task of saving you." Hector felt that he was deserved by the respect of the other party, and now he was indeed the savior of these people, but ten years ago, he, like many magicians, did not see these mortals as human at all......

Now, after a short time together, he already felt that what he believed in before was wrong, and that he was wrong. These people are indeed living people, they also have wisdom and thoughts, and they are also living, genuine people!

So he was a little embarrassed, coughed to hide his embarrassment, and then said: "If you want to thank you, you should thank the current emperor, Your Majesty Chris!" It was he who saved you all. ”

There was one sentence he didn't say, but buried it in his heart: Or, His Majesty the Emperor also saved me...... Saved my soul.

"Besides, I really need your help with something!" As if remembering something, Hector took out a map from his satchel and handed it to the old man: "Is there a village around here?" The kind of someone who has it. ”

"About a day or so from here, there's a village, I don't know what it's called, and when we moved here, we passed through there, and there were people ......over there," and when he had finished speaking, he turned back and shouted to a man in the distance, "Lenk! Lenk! ”

The man named Lenk immediately threw away his work and trotted over while rubbing his hands behind him.

When he got closer, the old man introduced: "Lenk is our best hunter here, he only went to the next village a few days ago, and he knows the most accurate situation." ”

"The village next door? Magician...... The next village was not in good shape, and the last time I went there I didn't dare to go in, because there were crows hovering everywhere and there were signs of wild beasts. As soon as the hunter named Lenk spoke, Hector felt that he was much more professional.

Lenk continued: "There are no wild beasts in crowded places, you know, the plague is terrible now, and I don't dare to venture into other people's villages easily...... However, I saw that there were no corpses on the streets, being bitten by scavengers, so the situation over there should be very bad. ”

"Thank you, thank you for your help! Where is the approximate location of that village? It doesn't matter if you can't read the map, you say which direction it is, I'll mark it. "Hecht's military map is not very detailed, after all, there are not many satellites covered here.

"Further west from here, I'll be able to walk around noon." Lenk pointed in one direction and replied.

Marking a cross on the map and then drawing a straight line to indicate where the village might be, Hector put away the map and handed the portable locator to Lenk: "Keep this green light on and in an open place!" It can lead me back here and bring back more food...... Do you understand? ”

Lenk took the locator, held it in his hand like a pilgrim, and replied solemnly, "Understood, my lord! I will definitely protect it and treat it as if it were my life! ”

"I'll be back as soon as I can." Hector nodded, then patted Lenk on the shoulder.

In the expectant gaze of all, Hector once again turned over and rode on his beloved dragon, this time, he had the feeling of going on a journey, for the sake of these people he did not know before, for the sake of these kinders whom he once did not think of as the same kind.

"Long live Iran Hill!" He muttered softly, mounted on the dragon's back, and gently pinched the beast under his crotch with his feet, and then the dragon flapped its wings, blowing away the dust nearby.

……

"Those demons have deceived us! They've bewitched the damned magicians! They are trying to control you with a potion! In another unknown town, a city guard officer with a sword and armor shouted at the top of his lungs at the crowd.

In front of him, there stood his men with spears, these people were arrogant, scattering handfuls of copper coins at the crowd in front of them, who didn't know what was happening.

Hearing that if you come here and hear the truth of the matter, you can get a reward, and these civilians have no other good place to go, so they gather and listen to the nonsense of the disgusting city guards.

Although everyone didn't quite believe the so-called lies of these city guards, when they saw the real old-fashioned copper coins, everyone happily waited here to take their benefits.

"If you use potions, you will become servants of the demons, and your brains will be eaten by the demons!" High up, the officer of the city guard was still shouting at the top of his lungs, intimidating the civilians who did not know the truth.

"Stand back! Back off! You're welcome any further! Several city guard soldiers, covering their mouths and noses with white cloths, pointed their spears at civilians who were about to approach and rob the copper coins.

They were also terrified, on the one hand, they were afraid that the refugees would attack and snatch the cash box behind them, and on the other hand, they were afraid that the plague would spread to them......

These men were sent out to build momentum for Earl Herman. The Earl Herman, who was taken away, actually had such a plan for a long time, but he had to come up with it in advance.

Their plan kills two birds with one stone, and it can be described as precise: on the one hand, it is to build momentum for Earl Herman and establish his great image as a savior, so that he can cooperate with the next alms and rescue, so that the survivors will be grateful to Dade; On the other hand, they want to stop the bailout plan of the Ranhil Empire so that more people will die, so that they can get more land and more wealth.

It's a pity that Count Herman was arrested, so that this plan had to be executed in advance, and in the process of implementation, it had to change its taste: these rumor-mongers tried their best to slander the Irlanhill Empire, create hatred, and eventually cause unrest and shake the rule of the Irranhill Empire in the southern region.

Only in this way can the irreplaceability of the old aristocracy be highlighted - in the end, according to the historical decisive method, the empire had to compromise with the old aristocracy and the old city lords, relinquishing the right to govern and withdraw the consuls who had been dispatched.

As long as the old nobles in the southern region recognize the nominal rule of the Irlanhill Empire, they can continue to ride on the heads of the commoners, continue to absorb the fat of the people, and live their rich and noble lives.

Herman gave these city guards great benefits, and when they succeeded, they would receive a lot of money and supreme power.

Those chaebol nobles can become lords, and they, the city guards, can evolve into warlords, or even divide one side and become uncrowned kings.

With such a huge temptation, there is no need to rush into battle, just spread some gossip, there is simply no more cost-effective deal. So the city guards immediately went into action, gathering refugees everywhere and spreading all kinds of rumors.

Seeing that there were more and more people, the officer of the city guard continued to shout loudly: "If you believe them, you have fallen for their tricks!" Only Lord Herman is the true savior! ”

His words were reasonable, and the crowd below was also agitated: "They arrested the Earl, but they didn't let Count Herman save people!" Those who claim to be soldiers of the Iran Hill Empire are the culprits of this disaster! ”
