Volume 8 The Rise of the Undead! Chapter 8: Sherlyn's Plea
The turmoil in Livon's territory soon subsided, like the wind rippling across a lake, and when the occasional wind passed, it was calm again. [No pop-ups.]
All the robbers in the highlands had learned from various sources that the new lord's castle had a clerical guard, and all of these Templar swordsmen possessed sophisticated equipment and excellent martial arts, although they were not numerous, but they were not ordinary bandits.
The sudden tightening of military power was only one of the reasons why the robbers did not dare to act rashly, and they were deeply afraid that the goddess was said to be the fiancée of the most powerful of the now powerful Annor in Sedaon.
Although they didn't know what the relationship between this young lord and this young and beautiful priest was, and even some gossip among the bandits in private, they obviously understood one thing, that is, if they wanted to see the sun of Sedaon alive, then whether they wanted to or not, they had to take their hungry red eyes away from here and look for a more suitable target elsewhere.
And the rebel lords began to get nervous, they were very afraid of the wrath of the lord, at least the gallows set up by the previous lord had not been dismantled. To tell the truth, many of them don't have much resistance in their hearts, and it's not that they are starving to death because of lack of food, but most of them are just out of a herd mentality, and it seems that they can't live without resistance under the encouragement of Sempuck's people.
Although it was the first time they had heard of the word "tyranny", since everyone was rebelling against "tyranny". Then it is obviously unreasonable not to resist yourself.
After the news that Sempuck and others were all killed, those rebels suddenly felt panicked again, "tyranny" turned out to be not that easy place to resist, it was to put their lives into it.
So they sent a few prominent elders to the lord's mansion to explain all this, hoping that the lord would forgive them for their mistakes.
However, unexpectedly, it seemed that the lord had forgotten about this matter, and he did not make any angry moves, but only responded lightly.
This frightened the lords even more if the lord punished them severely. For example, they can accept tax increases, hard labor, etc., but such an indifferent attitude makes them tremble and do not know what to do.
Thereupon. They thought of a good woman, a kind-hearted woman who was said to be a close subordinate of the lord, and who often used magic to relieve the pain of the sick and wounded.
If it was her request, the lord would definitely agree, right?
"Hmm, are you asking me to spare those traitors?" Luo Lan put down the thick file in his hand, in the past few days, he has been carefully looking at the detailed records of the population, livestock, and shops in his territory, this is not that he is ready to be a diligent lord, but he does not want to talk to Daphne without even knowing what is in his territory. That will leave a certain negative impression on the other person.
As a disguised thief, he clearly knows that in addition to the first impression of a person, the details of life should not be overlooked.
Xue Lin's elegant face was calm and calm. She nodded lightly and said, "Yes, my lord." ”
Luo Lan pondered for a moment, raised his head and looked at Xue Lin and said, "Are those people who have come to plead with you?"
"I don't think they were looking for me. I'll come and ask for it, too. Xue Lin smiled softly, if it weren't for her eyes that had lost their lustre, Luo Lan believed that they would be elegant and moving.
"I wasn't going to deal with them in the first place. In fact, I've pretty much forgotten about it. Luo Lan said nonchalantly.
"I believe it. Xue Lin smiled and said softly, "Actually, when I asked this question, I knew that the adults had forgiven them. ”
The sunlight through the window gently caressed her body, making her whole person look soft and bright, and she smiled: "Because you are a devout disciple of the God of Light, no matter where you go, you will not have even a moment of enjoyment. ”
Luo Lan was a little embarrassed by her, he admitted that he had been hiding deeply, but not to the level of an ascetic.
However, what Sherin said was true, compared to other clergy or nobles, he did rarely pursue any enjoyment in life, on the one hand, because he did not have that leisure now, but it may not be in the future, and second, people who had pursuits and goals in some aspects would naturally dilute other things.
After thinking about it, Luo Lan said a little strangely: "How do you know this?"
"I have arranged the accommodation, food, and clothing of the adults. Sherin smiled slightly.
Luo Lan was surprised, he usually only drinks
He likes to eat fresh vegetables and fruits, of course, including some small amounts of his favorite bird soup in this world, but he has never said what he likes, but these things are unconsciously superfluous, he has always thought that they are all arranged by Sam, and now he suddenly realizes that this requires a careful person to really care about him to do it.
But Luo Lan was a little more puzzled, hesitated, and said, "Your eyes ......"
Xue Lin smiled softly and said softly: "Sometimes, I look at it with my heart. ”
Luo Lan couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his chest, looking at Xue Lin's double-contoured soft eyes, although they lost their luster, they couldn't hide the shining heart. She was doing everything for herself in obscurity, and she never really paid attention to her.
He secretly thought that if Xue Lin regained the brightness of her eyes, her appearance and temperament should not be inferior to any woman he had seen, right?
Looking at her, it seems that her impetuous heart is also much calmer, it is a quiet beauty.
But am I really such a person? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you.
After Xue Lin left, Luo Lan's eyes became sharp, and he opened a small door next to the bedroom, which was the dark room of the original lord, but with his thief's gaze, it was naturally easy to find this hidden hiding place.
The dim candle flame flickered feebly, and nine lonely, stiff figures sat in it.
Over the past few days, the fallen swordsmen have awakened one after another, but they have lost their memories like Sempuk, and seem to have completely forgotten how to use their fighting energy and how to fight.
After working hard for so long, Luo Lan didn't want a bunch of waste, he needed fighters who could fight for him.
But to his distress, he still couldn't tell whether these guys had lost their way to use their power because of memory, or if they had completely lost their power.
Looking at their stiff and rigid movements, could it be that the brains of undead creatures are as rotten and rigid as their bodies?
He couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the recipe or if the result of the recipe itself was the result.
Seeing Luo Lan's gloomy face, Sempuke glanced at him cautiously, his action was like a child who had done something wrong looking at his elders, and he said, "Father, have we done something wrong?"
Luo Lan's eyebrows jumped, he turned his face in astonishment, and said in a deep voice, "What do you call me?"
"Father......" Simpuk shrank his head, as if afraid of Luo Lan's fierce gaze.
Luo Lan frowned and said, "How did you come up with this title?"
"Didn't you create us?" said Sempke, confused.
Luo Lan looked at his shrunken and concave facial features, and five holes similar to skulls appeared, and frowned, "Don't you really remember your previous identity and name?"
Sempke looked up at the ceiling, the green fire in his eyes glazed over, as if he was at a loss.
Luo Lan sighed and said, "You can just call me master in the future." "It seems that they really can't exert their strength anymore, now they are not much stronger except for having more almost immortal bodies than ordinary people, if you teach them again, Luo Lan doesn't have that leisure and kung fu, but one thing is okay, at least they are completely obedient and loyal to him, as a servant, it is a good choice.
But they can't be exposed to the eyes of the world, this is really difficult, he touched his chin, do you want them to deal with it?
Luo Lan suddenly felt a burst of irritability, this road could not be taken, then there was no other way, he took out the parchment scroll with good fire paint from the space ring, it was the diocesan fief given to him by the Holy See, he had not opened it, where was the fief?
The scroll was fiddling with it in his hand repeatedly, his face cloudy, and finally he still did not open it, and put it back again.
At this time, Sempuk's whole body suddenly shook violently, and the swordsmen behind him also shook together, as if they were sitting on a sea boat and jolting, and what surprised Luo Lan even more was that a misty light suddenly appeared on their bodies, which was clearly ...... Vindictive!
No, this power is just closer to Douqi, sharper, darker, and more powerful than Douqi!
Simpuk showed a struggling and writhing expression, and said with difficulty: "Master, I feel that there is a force outside calling us......"
