At the gate of White Maple Castle.

The soldiers on patrol straightened their waists and stood on their sides.

A luxurious four-wheeled carriage with gold on a black background and intricate carved openwork patterns slowly drove into the castle under the escort of dozens of knights.

On the side of the carriage, the shield-shaped family crest composed of a black lion and a red maple leaf looks particularly noble, which is the family crest of the maple leaf leader.

And dozens of knights, each of them riding white horses, wearing silver armor, with solemn and solemn faces.

They exude a powerful aura on their bodies, and they are all silver professionals!

The carriage stopped in the courtyard of the castle, and a male nobleman who appeared to be in his forties stepped out of the carriage.

He was tall, wearing a shawl painted with red maple, black curly hair and a pale and gloomy face, which made him look a little more mysterious and noble, while a pair of dark blue eyes and a high hooked nose made him a little more deep and stern.

Otto von Cappadocia.

One of the Seven Candidates of the Holy Mania Empire, the White Knight, the Earl of the Border, and the Lord of the Maple Leaf......

With so many glorious titles all in one, Otto was undoubtedly one of the most powerful men in the entire empire.

And his unfathomable strength, as well as the powerful army in his hands, also made his name very loud among the surrounding tribes.

It's just that at this moment, this border uncle, who is feared and envied by countless people, doesn't seem to be in a very good mood.

"Lord Earl, Lord Earl!"

Just as Frontier Bo got out of the carriage, a voice of joy and trepidation came from afar.

I saw a short figure wearing a butler's uniform and a wig hurriedly greeted him.

And seeing each other, Frontier Bo's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Anders ......"

He shouted softly.

It's just that there doesn't seem to be a trace of emotion in the words.

Anyone who knew Otto knew that the more he was like this, the worse his mood became.

"Uncle...... Lord Earl......"

Anders snorted and stuttered a little.

"We'll talk about it later."

The frontier boy beckoned, and the knights dispersed, and the coachman departed in his carriage.

However, one of the attendants stayed behind and respectfully followed behind the border uncle......

It was a middle-aged man dressed as a mercenary, his face was a little pale, and the armor on his body had traces of a fight, and there were faint traces of blood.

If the players were here, they would recognize that this was one of the seven Silver Pros who had chased them down in the first place, and the only mercenary from the Sauron Chamber of Commerce who had escaped!

"Mr. Shanying, why are you here?!"

Seeing this mercenary, Anders was startled.

And hearing Anders's name, the mercenary just glanced at him coldly and let out a sneer:

"What do you say?"

Anders:......

For a moment, his face became even more ugly.

Border Bo turned a deaf ear to the exchange between the two.

He took off his shawl and changed into the noble boots of the room in the service of four personal maids of elven blood, and then went straight to his castle and his own study.

I saw him sit on the elf-style wooden chair he liked the most, drinking the high-end Iris coffee that the deacon had just brewed, and playing with a delicate black ring, while listening to the old butler beside him report on the recent affairs of the territory.

Anders and Mountain Eagle, on the other hand, stood respectfully and solemnly at the door, not daring to say a word.

The old butler's work report lasted about twenty minutes, and when he finally finished speaking, he suddenly paused, glanced at Anders at the door quietly, and then said casually:

"Also...... In the past two days, something unpleasant seems to have happened in the business district of the territory, and you should know the specific thing now that you have met Mr. Shanying. ”

This damn old thing!

Listening to the old butler's words, Anders looked at him hatefully and gritted his teeth.

The old butler lightly added a block to Anders, who was the head of the slaves, and then respectfully retired, leaving only the mountain eagle, Anders, and the border boy in the study.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on? I just went to the imperial capital once, why did so many things happen in the territory? ”

Frontier Bo's voice was low and heavy, with a faint hint of dissatisfaction and questioning.

"Nearly half of my underground properties in Maple Leaf City have suffered huge losses, and the elves prepared by the major slave chambers of commerce have also been cheated away...... Anders, what the hell is going on?! ”

He looked at Anders coldly.

Even Anders has a stake in the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, and as the city lord of Maple Leaf City and the lord of the entire Frontier Domain, the Border Boss naturally has a share of the underground Chamber of Commerce's trading.

This time, the players pit the materials in Eve's kingdom, in fact, almost half of them are counted as his.

Hearing the border uncle's scolding, Anders shuddered.

He secretly complained bitterly, and hurriedly said:

"It's the nobles of the South! It's all done by those nobles in the south! I was deceived by them too! ”

"Aristocrats?"

Border Bo sneered, he turned his head and looked at the mercenaries of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce:

"Mountain Eagle, tell Anders what you saw."

"Yes, Lord Count."

The mountain eagle saluted to the border boy, and then looked at Anders and snorted coldly:

"Bullshit aristocrats! I took six silver professionals from the various chambers of commerce to track them down, and those guys ...... Even if they choose to commit suicide, they will not compromise, and the way they fight is simply shameless, where is this aristocrat? Obviously some outlaws! ”

Not an aristocrat?

Anders' mouth opened wide.

But...... If it weren't for the aristocracy, how could those young people be so well maintained? And how can you still enjoy it so well?

And...... If they are really outlaws, how can they be the kind of people who are not deeply involved in the world and do not understand any common sense?

Don't...... I was deceived by them in the first place?

"And...... They were clearly coming for our elven slaves, and they protected them all the way we pursued, even if they were ...... It's your own death! They're in league with those elves! ”

Shanying said again.

Protect...... Protecting the elves?

Anders was slightly stunned.

"I've heard people say that they ...... Aren't they reselling elves? ”

He felt like his mind was going to go haywire.

"Bullshit scalping! The elves they resold committed suicide! Not even a corpse remained! ”

"Now think about it, it's not certain whether the elves they sold were elves or not! I don't know if it's a real suicide or a fake suicide! ”

"According to the Golden Apple Firm, when the elves they exchanged committed suicide, the Firm's defensive circle detected traces of spatial magic, maybe...... It's all teleported away! ”

Shanying sneered again.

Transmit...... Transmission?!

Anders' eyes widened.

"So...... To put it this way...... Those goods of the Underground Chamber of Commerce ......"

"Hmph, everything that was touched by those people disappeared out of thin air! The Sauron Chamber of Commerce has already sent someone to inspect it, I'm afraid it ...... It's an extremely clever teleportation spell! ”

Mountain Eagle continued to sneer.

Is it such a powerful teleportation spell?!

Hearing his words, Anders' eyes widened.

But...... Those people's strength is not strong!

"So ......"

Anders' voice was a little dry......

"So...... This is not the aristocracy of the South, but a strange and mysterious force? ”

"What do you say?"

Mountain Eagle scoffed.

Anders:......

"Wait......"

Suddenly, Anders noticed something else.

He looked at the mountain eagle, and his expression suddenly became a little surprised:

"Now that you're back, ...... those who went with you to chase after you"

Listening to Anders's words, a hint of gloom flashed between the mountain eagle's expression.

"Dead, all dead."

He sighed.

"Dead ...... He's dead?! ”

Anders' gaze was slightly glazed.

Seven silver professionals, this is not a weak force, under the golden level, it is completely sideways, why is this dead?!

"We've met a black dragon."

Mountain Eagle looked at him deeply and continued:

"That black dragon is in league with those guys."

"Black ...... Black Dragon? ”

Hearing the word, Anders was stunned.

"Anders ......"

At this time, the border man suddenly spoke.

Anders was taken aback, and quickly looked respectfully at his lord.

"Do you know why, I didn't just kill you when I first saw you?"

Border Uncle said with a smile.

It's just that there is no trace of emotion in his smile, and he looks at Anders's gaze very indifferently.

Hearing Border Uncle's words, Anders immediately sweated profusely, and he threw himself on Border Uncle's thigh, crying and wailing:

"Lord Earl! Lord Earl! ”

"It was indeed my greed this time that led those guys to the Underground Chamber of Commerce, but ...... But I'm loyal to you, too! ”

"And...... And...... I still have important information to report to you, I have important information to report to you! ”

Listening to Anders's words, Frontier Bo sneered and kicked him to the ground.

"Humph!"

He took out the white handkerchief on his chest, wiped the place where Anders had just been holding, threw the handkerchief in his face, and then said:

"Is that the black dragon?"

"You...... Did you know? ”

Anders was stunned.

"Black dragons are not common......"

Border Bo said lightly.

After speaking, he took a sip of coffee, put on the ring he had just played with for a long time, and then said:

"I heard that some time ago, the territory was attacked by the black dragon, and you were taken captive by the black dragon. This time, the territory was infiltrated by unknown forces again, and the mountain eagles also encountered a black dragon......"

As he spoke, Frontier Bo looked at Anders and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Anders, should you give me an explanation?"

Listening to the words of the border uncle, Anders was shocked:

"Lord Earl! You think it's me?! ”

Frontier Bo didn't speak.

Anders cried bitterly, and subconsciously hugged his thigh again, but after being glared at coldly by Frontier, he turned his hand and hugged the chair under Frontier, and said with a handful of snot and tears:

"Lord Earl! Lord Earl! Anders is completely loyal to you! Anders escaped the black dragon's minions, but he walked for almost two months before he returned! Lord Earl! Don't you see Anders all skinny like this? ”

"Woooooooooo......oo O Earl! Anders does have important information to report to you! None other than that evil black dragon! It's just that...... Anders has absolutely nothing to do with it! ”

Listening to Anders's words, Frontier Bo raised his eyelids slightly:

"Then tell me what you want to report."

Listening to the words of the border uncle, Anders was overjoyed, and he was about to speak, but after seeing the mountain eagle standing on the side, he suddenly hesitated.

"The mountain eagle is his own person."

Border Bo said lightly.

Self...... Own?

Anders' eyes widened.

The Lord of Eternity is above! For a behemoth like the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, does Lord Earl also have eyeliner in it?!

He took a deep breath, organized his words, and then said:

"Lord Earl...... It's a black dragon! This must have been done by the black dragon! ”

"The black dragon! There are many elves! Not only that, but the elves it raises are extremely ferocious, completely like another species! I've seen with my own eyes that they've killed thousands of crocodile mercenary groups! ”

"The black dragon that raises elves?"

Hearing his words, both Mountain Eagle and Frontier Bo were a little surprised.

"That's right!"

Anders said excitedly.

And as he spoke, he suddenly ...... A flash of light flashed through his mind:

"I see!"

"I remember! Genie! It must be elves! Those southern aristocrats, those elves pretended! ”

"Elves pretending?"

Frontier Bo was even more surprised.

"Yes! Lord Earl, I suddenly remembered that when those elves attacked and killed the crocodile mercenary group, once they were killed, their bodies would disappear...... This is exactly the same as Mr. Shanying's description and the experience of the major chambers of commerce! ”

"I'm afraid...... They're in this group! That southern caravan is exactly what the elves are pretending to be! ”

Anders said loudly.

"Elven slaves who were cheated away...... An elf that disappears when it dies...... The Black Dragon ...... of the Elves

Border Bo tapped the arm of his chair, his brow furrowed slightly.

He rubbed his temples, then glanced at Anders:

"What else do you know?"

"What else do you know......

Anders was a little dazed.

However, seeing the unkind eyes of the border uncle, he hurriedly racked his brains to recall......

"There you have it! Those people...... No, those elves, they still eat meat! ”

"Or rather, they're more like humans in elven skins than elves!"

"Now that I think about it, when I talked to them, I didn't realize that they were wrong! It's because they're so human-like! It's not at all comparable to the elves that lurk in the human world. ”

"They...... It's completely different from those elves in the traditional sense! Now think about it, maybe those so-called tame elves are also pretending to be them! ”

"And...... Those elves are not afraid of death at all, and they are not afraid of pain! When they were fighting the crocodile mercenary group, I saw with my own eyes that some of the elves were cut in half, and they were still laughing until they died......

An elf who is not afraid of death raised by a black dragon?

Frontier Bo frowned slightly.

Under what circumstances are you not afraid of death?

One is for ideals and beliefs......

On the other hand, there is no fear of death!

Or rather...... What means can fight death!

For a moment, Frontier Bo's thinking diverged......

"You, is there anything else you want to say? Is there anything you're hiding from me? ”

After pondering for a moment, he looked at Anders again.

Anders trembled slightly, and quickly shook his head:

"Nope! No! Nothing! ”

Border Uncle narrowed his eyes slightly.

Anders, on the other hand, bowed his head.

"Stand down."

After a moment of silence, Frontier said.

Anders hurriedly saluted him excitedly, as if he had been pardoned, and then slipped out of the country.

However, just as he was about to leave the door, a long sword pierced his chest.

His excited smile froze on his face.

"Black Iron on top? No wonder he was able to kill everyone who traveled with him......"

Behind him, there was a somewhat surprised voice from the border uncle.

Hearing Border Uncle's words, Anders's eyes instantly froze.

He...... He...... He is...... How do you know?

Anders opened his mouth to say something, but only a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then slowly fell to the ground.

And behind it, there was an indifferent voice from the border uncle:

"A few untouchables, in order to kill them, they will be killed. I can forgive you for your stupidity, and I can forgive you for your greed, but you shouldn't hide your murder from me, I ...... Hate deception! ”

"Drag him down."

After speaking, the border man glanced at the surprised mountain eagle on the side.

The eagle saluted the Frontier Boy and dragged Anders' body down......

In the room, only the border man was left.

"Your control over the power of your soul is getting stronger and stronger, and you can see the undead around him, it seems...... You are fit to follow the path of the laws of life and death! ”

At this time, an old voice resounded in the room.

Frontier Bo didn't seem surprised.

He took a sip of his coffee and said with interest:

"According to what you said, put all the elves in the Chamber of Commerce, but I didn't expect to really attract a big fish......"

"You say...... What is the relationship between these strange elves and the Oak Hand? Will our plan still go smoothly? ”

"Absolutely."

The old voice smiled slightly.

His voice, still echoing through the room:

"Didn't he say that? That's a lot of elves......"

"Wasn't our original purpose to find more elves? After all...... Only elves possess the blood of Yggdrahir! ”

Hearing his words, Uncle Frontier narrowed his eyes slightly:

"But...... Anders said the elves were weird. ”

"That's also an elf, the detection method I left in the Chamber of Commerce can't be faked."

The old voice continued to laugh.

"Such an interesting elf intrigues me even more."

"Just ...... They seem to have killed one of my children......"

"Unfortunately, it was so far away that I didn't perceive how they did it...... It's just that I seem to smell a hint of familiarity. ”
